Nice day today

Stupid fly.

Hello, welcome back to a new Twitch

stream. I tried to go outside to do a

stream, but I can't even get any internet.

Says I've got 2 bars of 4G, but then I

can't even start the stream. Stupid

internet, isn't it?

And it's still so windy outside. It looks

nice, but then I go outside and it's

really windy and it's really cold. Look

how windy it is. Can you see the trees

blowing?

Oh my God,

the iPhone sucks.

Look, I can't switch to the wide-angle

lens on the— even on the Twitch app. Why

is Apple so rubbish? I swear I'm

gonna get rid of this stupid iPhone. Get a

Samsung.

What made you decide to stream on Twitch?

Because I just finished making my new

video and I'm gonna upload it in a few

hours, so I can't really stream otherwise

it's gonna interrupt— it's gonna disrupt

my upload schedule. I want to do

one more— I want to do 2 more animated

illustrated videos and then Not

sure what to do next. I might do— go back

to doing some streaming, some vlogging,

and then we gotta get ready for Malaysia.

Get rid of this stupid iPhone as well.

What's the point of putting a wide-angle

lens on it and then none of the apps let

you actually use it?

It's been 3 months since I last streamed

on Twitch. Last time was in the cabin.

In my cabin.

The cabin video that was supposed to go

viral but then never got more than 15K.

So unfair. You see cabin videos on YouTube

all the time go viral, get like 1 million

views, and it's pretty much the same as

what I did. They just go, hey guys,

here's my cabin, it's made out of wood.

How come my one doesn't go viral? Just

gets stupid 15K.

Why can't I get viral on anything apart

from why I hate Elden Ring?

But I'm having fun doing the illustrations

again, so I thought I would just do loads

of illustrated videos until I get bored of

doing illustrated videos, because I get

bored quickly.

I get really into doing one thing, and

then I'll do that until I get bored of it,

and then I'll switch. Which is not great

for YouTube, actually, because you're

supposed to do the same thing forever. So

my whole channel is just gonna be like,

one moment I'm doing loads of illustrated

stuff, next moment I'm doing loads of

FaceTime vlogs, next moment I'm doing a

load of streams, next moment I'm making

video game videos. The whole channel is

all over the place. And then I'll lose

loads of subs because I make gaming

content. They'll say, oh, I don't like the

gaming stuff, I'm here for the drama. So I

lose all them lot because I do gaming,

and then there's no more games, so I

switch back from gaming back to drama kind

of stuff. And then the new people I gained

from the gaming stuff, they go, oh, I'm

here for gaming, I don't want to know

about your personal life. And then they

all leave, and then everyone leaves.

All these stupid people from when I did

the gaming stuff started unsubscribing,

saying, I'm not interested in this, I'm

unsubbing, bye Daniel. Well, how are you

gonna know when I switch back to my older

content and I stop doing gaming stuff if

you've unsubbed? Because I switched back

now and those people are still gone.

But that's the thing with YouTube, you got

to make what you enjoy making, otherwise

it's boring. I don't want to keep making

gaming stuff when there's no games out,

and then I don't want to keep making

personal videos when there's nothing to

talk about in my personal life.

I can't keep only doing the same thing all

I guess I need 4 channels, don't I? 4

separate channels that do— that only focus

on one thing. PewDiePie took a private jet

to Japan. Yeah, I know, I was so shocked

when I saw that. I mean, I know the guy's

bloody rich. But come on, I didn't think

he was gonna take a fucking private jet to

Japan. Who does he think he is, Tony

Stark? He's not like Leonardo DiCaprio

level of celebrity. It just kind of

shocked me that he took a private jet. I

thought he would fly first class or

something. I think it was mostly because

of the dog, because they had to take their

dogs with them. Why not get a new dog in

Japan? Their dogs are ugly. Should ditch

the old dogs and get new ones like Shiba

Inu. They look cute.

So I think they had to take a private jet

because it's better for the dogs. As if,

as if people who take dogs to different

countries don't go on normal planes. I've

seen people take their dogs on normal

planes before. I don't understand why. I

think he said something like it was more

convenient for the dogs to take the

private jet.

Don't they have like an animal hold in

every plane? And then he could have just

gone first class. But I guess if you're a

multi-millionaire, why not splash out?

How much does it cost to fly a private jet

to Japan? I have no idea how much

it would cost. First-class tickets in a

normal plane are like 7,000 to 10,000.

So I would say a private jet would be like

$25,000 to $30,000.

Can you imagine spending $30,000 just to

fly to Japan? That's my entire net worth

just to get on a plane.

It's crazy, but I guess he made $30K

in a day.

You know what else I find pretty hilarious

is when, when YouTubers who are really

popular and huge start complaining about

how stuff's expensive, like complaining

about how they don't want to waste

$60 on a game when they make like $10K a

month. I was watching this livestream.

It was Chris Broad and Connor. It was like

a 6-hour livestream. They did an IRL

Twitch stream. And they were walking

around Tokyo. What were they talking

about? They were talking about money and

things being expensive. And Chris was

whining because he lost like $100 on a

laugh you lose challenge.

And it just seems like they're pretending

to be poor, like, oh, they're just one of

us. They're all so broke and they're all

so peasants when they're making like $40K

a month easy. And then Connor starts

talking about his brothers, what jobs they

do. And he said one of his brothers is an

air traffic controller who makes like $75K

a year. And then Chris is like, oh,

that's pretty good money. Chris, you make

that in like 2 months. You don't think

that's good money? Come on.

2 to 11K per hour.

What,

really? So it takes like 14 hours.

I don't know what kind— what kind of

airline does it take? Because if it's— if

it's an airline that's been banned by

Russia, then they can't fly over Russia.

But if it's a private jet, maybe they can

just fly over Russia, then it'll be 12

hours. If it's 10 to 5K per hour,

then that's like 50K. I can't believe they

can justify spending that much.

It's the reason why I don't get a pet,

because I know I'm just gonna get bored

and then I want to fly somewhere.

Otherwise, I'd want to get a cat. If I was

like crippled and I got,

I got some kind of disease where my legs

were cut off and I couldn't travel ever

again, I'd probably just get a cat because

if I know I'm going to be stuck here for

the rest of my life, then might as well

get a cat. But since I don't know where

I'm going to be next month, I don't know

which country I'm going to end up in.

It's not a very good idea.

Is the quality of the stream good?

Bald and Bankrupt did a video in Syria. I

thought he got arrested in Russia. Wasn't

he arrested for snooping around some kind

of, some kind of rocket installation?

Is he released yet?

I quite like that livestream Connor did on

Twitch.

It was Connor, Chris, and that American

guy Pete. I watched 5 hours out of the 6

hours so far. I can't believe I've nearly

watched the whole thing, but it's fun.

They just go around different bars and

they chat to Japanese people, but it's

interesting they go into bars and

restaurants and stuff and they don't get a

single caller. If, if that was Ice

Poseidon, the phone would be ringing all

the time, and then the owners would be

coming out going, there's someone on the

phone for you. But then these other

people like Connor and Chris who have

wholesome audiences, they never get

harassed or prank called or anything like

that.

I guess it really just really Depends on

the kind of audience you've built. Also,

maybe because it's Japan, I don't remember

if I actually— I don't think Ice got, uh,

what's the word, prank called when he went

into restaurants in Japan. It's because

these prank callers who want to cause

trouble, they probably don't speak

Japanese. And if you phone like a random

bar or restaurant in Japan, you just

suddenly start speaking English, they're

They'll just hang up on you. They'll be

like, oh, I don't speak English. And

they'll put the phone down. They won't

even try to understand what you're saying.

They won't understand.

So unless you speak fluent Japanese and

then you make it sound really convincing

that you want to talk to the streamer

that's in the restaurant, I don't

think that kind of prank calling would

work if you're in Japan as a streamer.

But when you're in America, the ice got

kicked out of restaurants all the time

because people would phone up. How's the

e-bike going? I haven't used it since I

got it because I only used it once to go

to the girl's house. But I don't go to the

girl's house very often. We've been

seeing each other for about 2 months now

and I've only met her twice. We meet like

once a month because she has— she has

issues that maybe I shouldn't go into

right now. It's not safe.

Which is why I was kind of against the

idea of my mum buying the e-bike, because

I don't think I'm going to use it. If I

stop seeing this girl, then there's no

reason for me to need an e-bike anymore.

What am I going to use it for? And then

I'm probably going to be in Asia or Japan

for the rest of this year. I won't even be

here. If Japan reopens, I'm going straight

to Japan. Watching that Chris and Connor

livestream just really made me miss Japan,

going to bars and getting drunk and then

livestreaming and all that Japan stuff. I

really missed it. I missed it more than I

realized, I think.

Would I ever talk to a girl on call

without planning on meeting her soon?

What? Talk to a girl on call without—

Well, yeah, I guess so. If I thought she

was interested in me.

Medical issues or work-related. So she has

like a problem with her leg. I think

that's all I'll say.

Um, so about Japan, they're saying that

there's a high probability they're going

to reopen in Japan, but just for like a

guided tour, which sucks. I'm not going to

do that. It's basically the same as those

North— it's the same as those North Korean

tour guides where you're not allowed to

stray off and do whatever you want to.

You've got to arrive at the airport, meet

with your stupid tour guide, and then just

follow them around. And you're not allowed

to just go off on your own,

and you can only come as a group, and it's

probably gonna only be for about 2 weeks.

You're not gonna be able to stay there for

months. That just sucks. So who wants to

do that? Like a stupid guided tour where

you're not allowed to do what you want and

you gotta follow a tour guide and you're

not allowed to stay for very long. That's

the best solution?

That's the, the best answer to people

wanting to come visit Japan? To do like a

stupid North Korean tour guide? It's

pathetic. When are people going to start

making more of a fuss about this? Put more

pre— they need to have more pressure being

put on them to reopen.

But I think they're going to see how this

guided tour thing goes, and if it's okay

and there's like not a big surge in cases,

and they might reopen fully in the coming

months. But it's just so dumb how cautious

they're being. It doesn't make any sense.

Why would a group of tourists coming in

for just a few weeks be any less of a risk

than like one guy coming in for several

months? You're gonna test them, aren't

you, for COVID? Just test them, and if the

tests come back negative, then what's the

problem? Japan makes no sense at

all. They have like the dumbest logic in

the world. They pixelate genitals in porn,

they keep using the fax machine, They got

these stupid little stamps for your

signatures instead of just using a pen.

They are the dumbest country in the whole

world. I swear nothing they do makes

any logical sense. It's why they got shit

economy that's fading. It's why they got a

declining birth rate and aging population.

It's why the yen has just gone down the

toilet. Because they're just stupid.

They're dumb. They're so full of old

people running the country that think it's

still the 1990s.

They're like the dumbest clever country in

the world. It's just so weird how their

brains think.

I get so annoyed.

The rest of the world reopened. It's just

Japan and China not reopening.

The rest of the world is like back to

normal traveling and stuff.

It's so typical, isn't it? The one country

that I love going to, the one country that

I really want to go to, is like the one

country that I can't go to. Apart from

China, but I wouldn't want to go China.

Australia is closed. Oh, is it?

I don't know. Still 2 years. I can't

believe it's been 2 years and this stupid

COVID thing is still going on. When's it

gonna end? For God's sake, I'm getting so

fed up. I feel like it was 10 years ago

when I got back from Korea. And I was

wearing that face mask and I cut it open

using scissors and I got the Galaxy Fold

and I was meeting Mila and all that stuff

happened. That feels like it was so long

ago. It's only been 2 years.

It feels like it's never gonna end.

So I'm thinking go to Malaysia and

either stay in Malaysia or just hop over

to Korea and then stay in Korea for a few

months until— and then wait until Japan

reopens.

If Japan's still not reopened by end of

this year, oh, I don't know what to do.

Go back home, I guess, after Korea.

Around that time it'd be Christmas, won't

it? I don't know if I want to come back

for Christmas because last Christmas

everyone got COVID. My mum, my sister, my

sister's boyfriend, they all got COVID.

And I was kind of thankful that I

stayed in Manchester dressing up as a

woman. Mila might be in Korea.

Yeah, that would be funny.

Maybe we'll meet up. Maybe I'll go try and

track her down. I know where she would be.

She'd be in stupid Hongdae or that—

what's that other tourist place? Itaewon,

where all the students get drunk and have

outdoor parties in the park playing music.

That's so her scene, all smoking and

drinking and playing Instruments.

Not my scene.

Tracking down my ex-girlfriend.

Tracking down my ex-wife.

Have I talked to Mina at all? No, I

blocked her when we broke up.

So one of the reasons why I cried at that

goth girl's house over Mina is because I

was pretty— I said some pretty harsh

things when we broke up that I'm not proud

of. I got pretty angry that she dumped me,

so I sent like loads of really mean

messages to Mina because I was just really

angry and emotional. And then I got back

to the apartment in Rotterdam and then I

blocked her and then I started

livestreaming. But then I unblocked her

after the livestream, but she never

messaged me. And I don't know if she

messaged me on KakaoTalk because I know I

uninstalled the app and then I never

reinstalled it. So who knows if she

messaged. Imagine I reinstall KakaoTalk

and there's like a load of messages from

Mina saying, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

Come back, Daniel. That would just be

so my luck, wouldn't it? But KakaoTalk

automatically deletes your account if you

don't log in for over a year. So I think

it's deleted now.

How can you claim to like her but despise

the things she likes? Because I can

like someone but then still hate

everything they like.

Don't you know talking about her will only

work against you? Because I don't really

care anymore. Oh my God, someone's

outside. Who the fuck's that?

Wait, did I get Amazon? Why is there a

van? Who got Amazon? Did I

get Amazon today? I'm pretty sure I didn't

order anything.

Oh look, my socks are matching today.

I don't really care anymore because I've

kept my mouth shut for over a year and I

tried to be good for over a year. And what

has it resulted in? No one trying to get

back together with me. No girls trying to

be with me. So it was like it was complete

waste of time trying to change.

Oh my God, I can see there's reflection.

I can see his reflection in the door.

That means he can see me too.

I saw his reflection in the glass.

Stupid fly. I saw

his reflection in the glass so clearly.

Do you think he saw me?

Yeah, it's Amazon, but I didn't order

anything, did I?

No, I didn't.

It's probably my mum buying something.

Oh, that scared the shit out of me. I

looked at that door and then his

reflection was clear as day.

Is he gone?

I'm scared.

And people, people think I don't have

social anxiety. Remember people used to

accuse me of lying about having social

anxiety? It's gotten so much worse since

then. I can't even open the door now to

delivery. It reminds me when me and

Chihiro got that sofa and then I streamed

it and I was like freaking out because

they tried to deliver it to the wrong

person and then they drove off without

giving us the sofa. That was so annoying.

People kept saying, just go out and get

it. But they were, they had instructions

to deliver it to the house next to us. So

if I just came out and said, oh yeah,

that's my delivery. I've got no proof,

I've got no receipt, but just trust me,

bro. It's for us.

You know what Japanese people are like.

They'll be like, oh, I'm sorry, this isn't

for you, this is for this guy's house.

As if I could explain that in Japanese. I

don't know how to say stuff in Japanese

sometimes. Like, I'm expecting a sofa.

How would they even know what's in the

box? Would they know it's a sofa? How

would they know it's a sofa? Maybe it was

in like a box, or maybe it wasn't.

I don't know. Sometimes having to explain

specific situations in Japanese is very

difficult. So I want to say I'm expecting

a sofa delivery.

Sofa, sofa no hai

tatsu? Isn't hai tatsu delivery? Sofa no

hai tatsu o matteruんですけど. Maybe I say

something like that. Ah, I hate fucking

Japanese language, not people.

It's like

the easiest things in English seem so

difficult sometimes. I think he's gone.

Imagine he was there and he just saw me

peek around the corner.

My mum is buying stuff.

My mum learned how to use Amazon. She

keeps calling it Amadon. I don't know why

she can't pronounce the Z in Amazon.

What was I saying?

Is that what you said? No, I didn't say

anything. I just waited until they left.

I hate it when I meet people and I tell

them that I learned Japanese and then they

start trying to speak to me in Japanese,

or they'll ask me, how do you say this?

How do you say that? How do you say,

um, I like eating skewered beef on a sunny

Sunday evening? I don't know.

Jesus Christ, how would you say skewered

roasted sun-pickled beef in Japanese?

And then I'll say I don't know, and then

I'll be like, oh, but you said you could

speak Japanese.

I remember the hardest thing was when I

was working at my dad's company.

Wait a minute, fridge is gonna explode.

Why does it do that? Interrupting my

monologue.

I think I'll go upstairs. Stupid fridge.

I can't even get peace and quiet. What was

I saying? Yeah, the hardest thing was when

I was at my dad's office working and then

they all knew I was learning Japanese

because my dad would tell them all. So

they would start asking me stuff like,

oh, Daniel, how do you say goodbye in

Japanese?

But the thing is, in Japan they don't say

goodbye at the end of a workday. They

don't start going, oh, bye-bye, or

sayonara. I need to dox my Instagram.

What was I saying? Yeah, at the end of a

workday they would say o疲れ, but in English

o疲れ means like thanks for your hard work.

It doesn't mean goodbye, but it's used as

a goodbye. Oh wait,

I'm out of breath. Do you like

my new banjo? Tuned it up nice.

I learned a few songs if you would like to

listen. It's also really loud,

the band. Look, when I shout, it also

triggers it.

Buh! Buh! Can you hear that? It's like

going brown.

Buh!

So I got 2 banjos.

I got my banjo-laylee, which I

bought by mistake because I didn't think

it would sound like a ukulele. I thought a

banjo-lele would sound like a banjo, but

just like a smaller banjo. But it just

sounds like a ukulele.

I hurt my fingers. I bruised the bone of

my fingers now from practicing too much.

Hurts. I need to get like some kind of

thumb finger thing. Where's my wide-angle

lens?

Oh,

it was here before.

Maybe this one will

You need a pick. Yeah, they use these

fingerpicks. So they have

a pick on each finger, but it looks really

cumbersome. Is that the same,

or is it wider? Yeah, it is wider.
