talking about my plans for next year [REr35t7S-x8]

Testing,

testing, testing,

testing.

Hello, welcome back to new stream.

I want to talk about my new Japan plan.

I'm very excited. I think this

new plan I have is easier and more

affordable than the house plan and the car

plan, and I can do it straight away

without any licenses.

Oh, hi Blood Bucket. I need to ask you a

question. If I get

an electric bicycle, can I store it at

your house when I leave? And then you can

use it if you want to use it.

Because my new plan— okay, here's my new

plan. I'm going to buy an

electric bicycle.

Isn't it a great plan? Why didn't I do

this before? Either I

sell it when I'm done with it, or I can

store it at your place for when I come

back again. I think the electric

bike would be great. It would allow me to

travel anywhere, basically,

for free. It's just kind of expensive for

the upfront cost, but I think it'll be

fine. I think I'd spend like ¥150,000.

I can get a 7-gear,

70-kilometer range electric bike,

and then I can ride all across Japan.

I think my budget would be maybe around

$1,000 for an electric bike.

It needs to have a removable battery so I

can take it up to the hotel room and

charge it, and it needs to have gears.

I can't have like a mama chaddi with no

gears. Really need gears so

I can do hill climbing and then go into

high gear when I'm going downhill.

I'm just trying to figure out how

I'm going to film the content.

I think I have a good idea what to do.

I should have done this last time, it

would have been much more interesting.

Nice monitor Thanks. It only cost £100.

Can you believe it? You really don't need

to buy an expensive monitor. It looks

great. It was the cheapest monitor in the

shop. It's slightly curved, as you can

see. I still got the— what's

it called— plastic on it. Don't know what

to do with it when I leave. Maybe my

girlfriend's sister. My girlfriend said we

could leave the fish tank at her sister's

place. So I'm thinking

we just get a bottle and I transfer the

fish and shrimp into the bottle. How am I

gonna catch all the shrimp? Because

they're too big to, to get sucked up into

the siphon. So I'm gonna have to get a

little net and fish them all out and then

put them into a container, put some water

in it, and then I don't know what we're

gonna do. It's gonna be tough moving.

Moving out. My 2 big things

are the monitor and the fish tank.

Don't know what to do with the monitor. I

guess give it to my girlfriend's sister,

or maybe her cousin will take it.

I guess the good thing about having lots

of family is you can just give them stuff

when you don't need it.

So today we need to discuss our plans for

the bike trip across Japan. This time

we're going to go across Japan, not round

and round in a circle like in Osaka. I

just went round and round in a circle,

which felt meaningless. This time we're

going to start off at Kyushu and then I'm

going to ride east up to Osaka.

Now I do want to stream it, it's just I

don't think the internet is going to be

good enough in between cities in the

countryside of Japan. I don't know if

they've got good internet because in the

UK it was rubbish. Good morning,

gorgeous. Oh, thanks, Frog Effa,

for the Super Chat. Good morning to you

too. Is it gonna be IRL stream? I want to

do IRL stream, but I don't know if I can.

I saw Connor CDawgVA do it and he was

able to stream it, but he was using like 4

SIM cards, LiveU. I could use my LiveU,

but then I gotta pay like $400 for the

bonding service, which I don't really want

to do. And I don't even know if it's going

to be a big difference. I'll get— I heard

Docomo has the strongest network in the

countryside, so I'm thinking I get a

Docomo SIM and a SoftBank SIM for the city

and then bond those 2 on my phone.

But there's a lot of tunnels, like going

into the mountains, there's a lot of

tunnels and there's some undersea tunnels

from Kitakyushu into— what's it

called? A little island

above Kitakyushu. There's a pedestrian

tunnel. Obviously the connection won't

work there, so there's going to be a lot

Japan's going to cut down live streams

because of bad YouTubers. Well, they can't

stop me from live streaming in the middle

of nowhere mountains, can they? I'm not

gonna be like a nuisance streamer going

into shops and yelling.

I'm just a guy on a bike.

Now, because of all the mountains, it's

gonna be hard for the signal to get to

where I am, I think. I'll give it a try,

but I don't really feel like it's gonna

work. So what's probably gonna happen is

I'll just not stream the biking, and then

when I get to the hotel, I'll stream in

the hotel because I'll be tired. We need

to charge the battery bike, the bike's

battery, and then we'll just eat food,

stream in the hotel for like 5, 6 hours,

and I go to bed. And then I wake up the

next day, 10 or 11 a.m.,

probably won't do a stream in the morning

because I need to get ready and then head

out for another 5-hour bike ride.

I think I can cover If I do 25

kilometers per hour, I can cover— well,

the battery depends on what bike I get.

Some bikes only have a 70-kilometer range,

some have a 100-kilometer range. So if I

get the 100-kilometer range, if I do about

4 hours of biking, I could do 100

kilometers in about 4 hours. Should be

pretty easy. So do 100 kilometers a day.

It should take me about— I

don't know, it was saying 650 kilometers

to Osaka from Fukuoka, but I've now added

Shikoku to my travel plan, so it's going

to take an extra few days. I want to go to

Shikoku. I saw there's a bridge from

Okayama down into Shikoku, and I think I

could ride my bike over it. It's a pretty

cool looking bridge, big suspension

bridge. So I ride into Shikoku, probably

do like a circuit around Shikoku,

and then take the other bridge from

Tokushima into Kobe and then into

Osaka.

I think the car would be more boring

because you're like stuck in a box. You

got to really focus on driving. You can't

really appreciate the scenery because it's

whizzing by so quickly. I think the

bicycle will be way more enjoyable.

And then I'll book hotels along the way.

It should be like $30 to $40 if I

can find a business hotel. So I've

currently calculated the costs at $35

a night for hotels. Say we do 20 days,

that's $700. It's pretty

expensive.

Okay, $700, and then $1,000 for the bike,

and then $100 for the IRL streaming

server, $70 for SIM card,

2 SIM cards, $140.

And then food, probably like $400.

So I reckon around $2,100 would

be how much it's going to cost for the

Can stop, check the view, keep going.

Yeah, but the problem with the car is it's

not like a bike where you can just stop

wherever you want. The car— you can't

really just stop in the middle of the road

if there's people behind you.

I had one terrible lesson when I was

driving where he was saying, pull up

somewhere safe on the left, and there was

a car behind us, and I think I just

randomly stopped and he was like, no,

Daniel, you can't do that. And then the

car behind us just overtook and they

looked pretty annoyed.

We can also just stay a few nights in one

city, one area, and bike around there for

a bit before moving on. So I think the

bike would give us a lot of freedom.

Wait, I got a Microsoft Paint thing.

I thought I'd plan out, plan out the

journey. I'll show you the route.

The other problem is I can't go on the

highways. So if Google Maps tries to take

me on the highway, I tried doing

directions and it kept saying no route

available for 2-wheelers. So you gotta

click on car to find a route, and then

they keep taking you on highways. So click

on the button avoid highways, but then it

still looks like it's taking you onto

highways.

£1,000 for a bike is a lot. Yeah, well,

that's the price for an electric bike.

The mum— I mean, the bike my mum bought me

was about £1,000, which is like nearly

¥200,000,

and that was a good bike. So I want to get

something maybe not as expensive. So I'll

draw the route. We start off,

we're going to land in Fukuoka.

Fukuoka Airport, and then I'll book a few

nights in Fukuoka to look for the bike.

Probably go around a few shops, probably

Bic Camera will have the biggest

selection, or maybe some kind of bicycle

shop, and then I'll just go in there,

have a look at it, try and buy it on the

spot. I'm scared the bank's gonna block my

card for such a big purchase because

that's happened before. I tried buying a

gaming— a gaming laptop. I tried buying

a gaming laptop with Chihiro and the

stupid bank blocked my card. I had to go

on the phone to phone the bank.

Learn to ride a motorbike. Motorbike's

noisy. I like the peace and quiet

of a bike. And you gotta wear a helmet

and I don't wanna wear a helmet because

it'll mess up my fabulous hair.

So hold on, I've got

to check if my stream is still green so

far. Okay, so we go and land

in Fukuoka, spend maybe 2 nights to

buy the bike, buy the Sims, get settled,

get rested, maybe have a look around

Fukuoka City. For a day,

and then we bike to Kitsukushu. Do do

do do. Kitsukushu is about.

I think it's. Wait, how many kilometers?

I don't know if I can get to Kitsukushu in

one day. Doesn't look that far. I think it

was like forty miles. Yeah. Yeah, I should

be able to do that in a day. It's like

sixty kilometers. I've ridden to Maidstone

and back before from my home in UK, and it

was about nine miles. There, and it took

about 40 minutes. So roughly 10 miles

would be about 50 minutes, I reckon. So

it's easy. 2 hours, 20 miles. 4 hours, 40

miles.

Yeah, I'm going to vlog the whole thing

because I want to make a video from

beginning to end, like a high-quality

video, not stream-quality video.

So the plan is I stream whilst filming

the vlog as I go along, but I think

the stream is gonna cut out a lot, so I'll

test it out to see how it goes. But I feel

like as soon as I leave the city, like in

between this area, I think it's gonna have

not good connection because it's very

mountainous. I was on Google Maps Street

View and And I was just randomly dropping

the guy on Street View, and the scenery

looks so good, just mountains and

countryside, it looks great. But I don't

have a good feeling about the connection

strength.

Okay, so then we stop at Kyushu for a

night, and then we gotta take this bridge.

There's a bridge pedestrian tunnel. I

don't think I can ride in there, you

probably gotta get off and push the bike.

Probably take like 15 minutes, and then we

have to— I don't think I can get all the

way to Yamaguchi in a day. That's pretty

far. That's like 80 miles or kilometers.

So I'll probably have to stop in between,

like there. I don't know what's in

between. It's probably some random town.

And we get to Yamaguchi, the next big city

is Fukuyama. No, Hiroshima. It's not,

it's not listed on the image,

but I think— I mean, Hiroshima is there,

so the next one would be Hiroshima.

Should be able to get there in a day.

Hiroshima. I can't fit that in. Hiroshima

and then Fukuyama. Wait,

can I get into Shikoku from Fukuyama?

There's a bridge here over a bunch of

islands, so I

guess I go to Fukuyama next.

Does anyone know, can I take that bridge

down into Matsuyama?

Oh, thanks King, very generous.

Take a ferry? Yeah, I could take the bike

onto the ferry.

Road trip? No, more like bike trip. This

is gonna be so cool. March is gonna be

great weather, it's not gonna be too cold.

It's not going to be really hot and

sticky. The problem is March is Hanami

period, which is when a lot of Japanese

people go traveling for Hanami. So I'm

scared the hotels are going to be really

expensive and booked up.

But it's either we do it in March or I go

home in the UK and I come back in July

when it's really hot and sticky and humid,

which is not going to be great. It will be

windy. Are you sure? Rainy season in

Japan, it says June, June to July. So I

don't want to go in rainy season.

So if I can cross the bridge over the

islands, there's all these little islands,

like a little island archipelago. I think

there's bridges connecting through them,

so I could be able to— should be able to

bike over the bridges. And then get to

Matsuyama. And then I want to go— I looked

at these roads that cut through the island

and they're really narrow and mountainous.

They look kind of scary. They're really

high up on the mountains. You see this

area on Shikoku, the middle bit is just— I

mean, the entire island is just mountain

ridges. So I'm

a bit scared to cut through the middle.

You ride the bike on the side of a road on

the bridge. Yeah, I think so. It should be

fine. Don't make more livestreams where

you're just riding a bike again. Hmm. I

know people are not interested in it, but

last time I biked in Japan, the streams

made so much money, like $1,800.

So even though the views weren't great,

and the watch time was terrible, and they

made like $5 to $10 each on ads.

Oh, thanks, King. Um,

those bike streams made the most money

I've made in ages, even though clearly

people weren't interested. Because usually

when I do these talking streams in my

room, people say, oh, it's boring,

Daniel's just sitting in his room talking

non-stop. I get about 2,000 watch time

hours, 1,500 to 2,000 watch time hours

doing these. But when I was doing the

biking stream, I was only getting about

200 to 300 watch time hours.

So people weren't watching them for very

long.

So I think we cut through the middle of

Shikoku, or we could go around the edge

and do the sea view. But that'll take a

lot of time. And then we stop at Kochi,

and then I'll probably ride around this

sea, um, sea line edge,

whatever it's called, to— I think this

bit's Tokushima, and then I should be able

to take the bridge up to Kobe.

Or I could go up here. Ah, then I miss the

Sento Bridge in Okayama.

I really want to see this bridge.

Maybe,

maybe I skip Tokushima and go up to Kagawa

to do the Sento Bridge and then go up to

Okayama. And then I can also see Himeji

and then Kobe and then final

destination, Osaka. And then

when we get to Osaka, I guess I just rest

up and then think about— I don't know,

maybe I go to Lake Biwa and push

on to Tokyo. I'm not sure if I get bored.

I might not bother going to Tokyo. I might

go down to like Wakayama. Around like

that. It depends how bored I am

and if it actually makes good money or

not, or if I still really

want to do it for fun. Right now I'm not

really doing it for money, I'm just doing

it because it seems like it would be fun.

So that is the current route, I think.

And I reckon there's about 60

to 100 kilometers distance in between each

of these circles.

The bike range is probably like 50

kilometers. I probably won't be able to

make it, so I would have to do a stop in

between each city, like a stop here, a

stop there, a stop here, a Probably

a stop there and then a stop there, stop

here.

We'll have to see how it goes. The battery

will die and then I gotta look for a

hotel. I gotta find a hotel before the

battery dies. What if I can get 2

batteries? Oh my god, what if they sell

like a spare extra battery?

That would be great.

What if it rains? Yeah, that'll be a big

problem. I don't think it'll rain,

but if it does— because I was there back

in March this year and it didn't rain for

one day— so if it does rain, I'll probably

just have to book the hotel for more

nights and just sit around in the hotel,

do some bike training. I don't think it's

gonna be very strenuous because I've done

e-biking back home in the UK. I did like 3

hours all the way to Maidstone,

rode around the countryside a bit down to

Sutton Valence, back up to Maidstone and

back home, and that was like 30 miles

nearly, and I swear when I got home I

didn't feel tired at all. As soon as it

gets hard, the battery motor kicks in and

then it does all the work for you.

When you're going downhill, there's no

battery, you're just using gravity and

your legs, and then you can just soar down

downhill. Flat hill— I mean, flat roads

are easy. When there's slight inclines,

the battery kicks in So I reckon I won't

even be tired.

This could take a month if it takes me a

long time and I do a lot of stops in

between major cities. It could take a

month doing this, but I think it'd be

really cool because we would see so much

of Japan, not just like stuck in one city.

We'll see all this countryside,

and I've looked on Google Maps Street View

and it all looks amazing. The scenery

looks amazing. All the mountains, the

bridges, the little islands. It looks so

good.

Why doesn't Thailand look like that?

Thailand doesn't look anywhere near as

good. Why does Japan just look good? I

What is there to see in the countryside?

The mountains and the

mountains and roads.

Maybe I'll find some cool stuff like

abandoned ramen shop.

You can buy extra batteries. Yeah, if I

could buy an extra— well, it'll be heavy,

won't it? Consider the weight

of my backpack as well.

I think my backpack is gonna be about 3

If I'm gonna IRL stream it, I need to

bring my battery banks too.

So I think I go in March, like the

first week of March. My girlfriend's

kind of upset that I'm going to Japan.

She thought I was going to go home to the

UK. Nope.

I think it makes more sense to go to Japan

first and then back to the

UK.

Get a rack attached to the back of your

bike. What, to put the backpack in?

Yeah, I could do. I'll show you some bikes

that I'm looking at. Where's the bikes?

Oh my God, there's a 300,000

huge electric bike.

How can I show you?

I'm scared if I show something on my

It's just big camera, it's not gonna

reveal anything, is it?

MS Edge.

Wait, let me make it really small first,

just for safety.

MS Edge. Oh yeah, that's fine.

So I'm looking at this website, Big

Camera.

How big is your monitor? It's 27 inches.

I nearly got 32 inches. Thank God I didn't

because the 27-inch barely fits on my desk

with the fish tank on it as well. It's

huge. 32-inch would be way too big.

So they've got this monstrosity. Look at

this. Oh my god. But I think

this needs a license because it's one of

those twist-and-go— I think it's a

twist-and-go electric moped kind of

classification.

For twist-and-go, I think you do need a

This is like $2,500, I think.

Way too expensive. Look at this

thing, that's insane.

So the range,

90 km on one charge.

How fast does it go?

Says it takes 6 hours to charge up.

Maybe if I was rich I could get something

I could order it online and then pick it

up instead of going to the shop and buying

it and then getting my card blocked.

What's that? Hensoku nashi.

What does that mean? Well, it has no

gears. I think that means it's got no

gears. Hensoku Danzu change

speed system. I think it

means gears.

Single shift. How does it work if

it's got no gears?

What is the specs of your PC? I don't have

a PC. I have this gaming device, ROG Ally.

It's got a Z1 Extreme chip,

which is like a Ryzen 7 7840U with

integrated graphics. It works really well.

I can't believe it. Do all my streaming

and gaming on it. Don't need like Intel i7

RTX whatever. Okay, so here are

the bikes. I'd be looking at something

like maybe

like this one, ¥120,000,

or maybe this one.

What is the most expensive bike they have?

Oh my God,

¥600,000! How much is that in US dollars?

6— oops. Hey, okay Google,

¥600,000 in US dollars.

¥60,000 equals $421.99.

I said I said ¥600,000. Why are you doing

¥600,000 in

US dollars.

¥600,000 equals $4,218.

$4,000. We gotta look

at this. What's so special?

22 gears. Damn.

Look at that.

What's the range?

It's only got— no, that's the height.

Um, where's the range? Oh, here.

107 km on eco mode.

Why is the range the same no matter what

the price of the bike is?

So why is it so expensive? What makes—

because it's got 22 gears.

You were saying you can't stay in Japan

permanently without relying on a woman?

Get business visa. How do I get that? You

know I'm broke, so anything that's going

to need money I can't do.

For a business visa, you need to register

as a business and have like an office and

employ at least one member of staff, I

think. And then you got to prove that you

make a certain amount of money every year.

It's not easy.

I don't know what makes this bike worth

$4,000.

Can't be bothered reading all this.

Where's Google Translate?

Oh, thank God, thank God for Google

Translate. I can't be bothered to read

Japanese sometimes.

Enjoy off-roading freely in the mountains.

Multi-speed double suspension.

Yeah, I wouldn't spend ¥4,000. What a

ripoff. My budget for the bike, I would

say ¥150,000, which is like $1,000.

What's the cheapest one?

¥120,000.

Look at this one.

Maybe 7-speed

transmission,

¥120,000. This one's

got a little handle on the battery, which

means you can take the battery off.

So you can see a little handle, looks like

a cheese grater.

I don't like these tires. I need thicker

tires. I reckon some of the roads are

gonna be kind of bumpy. This is like a

city bike.

Yeah, why is it so damn expensive? It's

just a bicycle with a battery strapped

I don't want like a— like a woman's

bicycle with a basket on it for going

shopping. More of a mountain bike design

would be better.

Check if my stream is monetized.

Oh, yellow. God's sake,

we lasted 30 minutes.

Yesterday's stream was demonetized for a

whole day before it went green, which

means I lost out on all the ads. I made

about $2 from ads.

I don't know why this is happening. Look,

it keeps going yellow when I stream, and

then sometimes after I end the stream,

it'll go green after a few hours, and then

some days it won't, and then I gotta wait

a whole day and a half until it gets

manually reviewed. You know, I'm losing so

much money. I should be making $20 to $30

on ads, but I only make like $20,

sometimes only $15, and then sometimes

only $2 if it doesn't go green quickly.

This didn't used to happen. It's really

annoying. Don't know what

to do about it.

It's making me lose so much money.

If I stream on the second channel, this

doesn't happen, but then less people come

over to the second channel to watch.

How much of your trip will you be using

the motor? Probably just downhill and a

bit on the flat roads.

So if it's very mountainous, which it

probably will be because Japan is very

mountainous, I'd be using the battery

going up but then no battery going down.

Okay, back to bikes.

I don't know why YouTube is punishing me.

I mean, you look at my streams, they're

all monetized apart from,

I think the iPhone 15 got reviewed and

stayed confirmed not suitable. And then a

couple, a couple months ago got

demonetized too. But 95% of my streams

after manual review, they get greened.

So I don't know why. It's like I'm being

shadow banned during my stream.

Very irritating.

Okay, so maybe They

all look the same. What about this one?

Didn't I just look at this one?

This one has nice tires. No, wait, this is

one I just looked at.

Oh, I can sort by range. Over 81

kilometers.

Damn, they're expensive though.

¥170,000.

My thinking is I spend more on a bike that

can go further And that would reduce the

amount of hotels I would have to stop at,

which would be cheaper than buying a

cheaper bike and spending more time in

This one looks— where's the battery? Oh,

the battery's in there. It means you can't

take it out. No, that's no good.

So I can't bring the bike up into the

hotel room. Look, the battery stored in

the frame. It's rubbish.

Wait, all these bikes have batteries in

the frame.

What?

That's weird.

I'm pretty sure you can't take it out of

the frame if it's built into the frame.

I guess the long-range bikes, the

batteries have to be bigger and

there's nowhere to put it.

Okay.

Oh, why is it— why

is it not showing the filter thing?

Oh, look at these ones. Tiny little

wheels.

These would be terrible.

Renting a bike? I did Google renting a

bike and there were some websites. I mean,

I could rent it and it would be cheaper.

But then don't I have to ride back to the

place I rented it from?

Also, I need to make sure the hotel will

let me store a bike somewhere.

Imagine my bike gets stolen.

It still has the range filter on it, I

think. How do I get rid of it?

Ah, Japanese website is hard to navigate.

How do I get rid of the filter? It's only

showing me the high long-range bikes.

Oh, I see. That's why.

What about this one?

Wow, 43% price drop.

Milo, it looks like a cheese grater.

That battery looks so small, look at it.

What's the range? 70 on e— Long mode,

automatic mode 54,

power mode 45.

What? Long mode says 70.

Could get a used one. Where do I get a

used one? I guess from a bike shop. I have

to look around bike shops as well as big

camera. 4 hours

to charge the battery, 7 gears,

¥140,000.

How much is that? Okay Google,

¥140,000 in US dollars.

140,000 Japanese yen equals $984.22.

$1,000. I don't know if they use Facebook

Marketplace in Japan, do they?

Because if I want to sell it in Japan,

then I need a Zairu card.

Oh, it's green now. What?

I just don't get it.

Hmm,

so that's like £700. It's not Super

expensive.

Maybe I can get— no, these ones don't have

a detachable battery.

Neither do these. These ones have a weird

lump battery on the middle bar.

Yeah, I guess something like that. Maybe

like this one.

Auto mode. Oh, what? 200 kilometer

range? No way.

How does it have such a long range on eco

mode? 200 kilometers. I can get to Osaka

in 3 days.

I don't believe that. All the other bikes

said 70 kilometers on eco mode. How does

it have 200 kilometers?

Can I buy an extra battery? What's that?

Discontinued. Does the bike charge when

you move pedals? I don't know,

maybe it has to be a more expensive bike

with more advanced technology to

200 kilometers? Damn, that's good.

It takes 4 hours to charge.

Reviews look good.

Hmm.

91 kilometers.

Yeah, anyway, I'll go to the shop and have

a look around, probably see if I can find

something better. What, solar panels?

Would they really charge the bike by much?

Imagine I just go nonstop because the

solar battery is charging it— the solar

Yeah. So that's my plan. Go to Fukuoka,

land, check in to the hotel,

then look around the shopping areas for

electric bike, buy the bike,

film a little video showing you the bike.

Because I've also got to try and vlog

this. So it'd be like, oh, I'm leaving

Thailand, arriving in Fukuoka, check in,

show the room for like 30 seconds, show

the city for like 30 seconds,

go into the bike shop, film the bikes for

like 20 seconds, buy the bike, and then

give you like a bike tour for a minute. I

don't want any segment to be too long.

People get bored. I think each segment

should be like 30 seconds to 40 seconds.

Yeah, I could buy it secondhand on the

marketplace. I wonder if they sell them in

Thailand.

Electric bicycle.

Ah,

there's a few.

8,500 baht.

Oh, what if I get a tent and we go to a

camping ground? And then I can't charge

the bike. That's the problem.

I thought we could get a tent and camp

somewhere. But then I don't know how to

charge the bike or

my stuff. Stop wasting your money. It's

not wasting, it's called having an

interesting experience when you're young.

This is something I want to do.

I don't know why I never tried doing it

before. I only just had the idea.

Definitely not inspired

by anyone else, completely came up with it

by myself.

You're not young anymore. Yeah, I am.

30 is still young. When you're 40 or 50,

then you'll be thinking, wow, I wish I was

30-something again. So young. I'm at the

prime of my life.

Yeah, I'll probably have to dip into my

savings to fund this. I probably won't

make enough money to cover the whole cost.

I wish I was famous enough to be able to

just get YouTube to pay for all of it. I

could probably just At best, I can hope

that the content is going to pay for like

50% or 60%.

That's how

I have to think of things now. Instead of

thinking, oh, YouTube's going to pay for

all of it, I have to think, oh, I'll get a

20% discount thanks to YouTube.

I'm not moving to Japan. I'm just going

there for a few months. To do a bike trip

and then I don't know what else. March

will be about the bike trip and then

after I finish the bike trip, it'll be

less about the bike trip. I'll still bike

around and stuff, it's just I won't make

the content about the bike anymore because

I know people won't really find it

I'll try to livestream the journey, but I

think the internet's not going to be very

strong in the mountains and the tunnels

and over the bridges. It'll just be

disconnecting the whole time.

And then after the bike trip, I don't know

what else we could do. To sit in a hotel

room streaming and moaning, I guess.

Are you breaking up with your girlfriend?

Don't think so.

She said she'll go to America, save up

some money, and then come and see me.

Maybe in the UK. And then

we can come back to Thailand together.

For a few months.

I wouldn't want to do this with my

girlfriend. She gets tired so quickly.

We'd walk like 20 minutes and she gets

tired. There's no way she would be able to

bike across Japan. Plus, I'd be

worried she'd fall over. I remember last

time I went biking with a girl. She

literally broke her arm. Imagine she falls

over and like breaks her leg. The whole

trip would be screwed. She'd be in a

hospital and then we got to pay. I don't

know, go bankrupt paying the hospital

bills if we don't get insurance. Maybe I

should get insurance. I don't usually get

travel insurance.

I think going on a bike trip with a girl

is such A danger. Women just—

I don't know, they fall over and drop

stuff all the time.

They don't have great hand-to-eye

coordination.

She's going to America to make money.

So here's my idea for, for the content.

I'm thinking we stream it 24/7 on the

second channel because the second channel

doesn't keep getting demonetized,

and I don't think the stream is going to

be great anyway because of connection

problems. So I'll just like

try to have a 24/7 stream running on the

second channel whilst I try and vlog it

for main channel videos and then

maybe main channel hotel stream.

But I've got to like market the streams

and videos in like emo,

I'm all alone, girlfriend left me kind of

way. Otherwise people won't click it. If I

put bike trip across Japan, no one's going

So I've got to market the content as like

I don't know, sad lonely loser in Japan.

Market to who? Market to my viewers.

Who else? Muck it to my sponsors

who are my viewers.

So I'd probably just like book into the—

check into the hotel and then do a 6-hour

stream in the hotel on the main channel

and then try and do the biking stream bits

on the second channel. I don't know, the

whole thing's going to be a mess.

Are you gonna watch anyway? I don't know,

the way I title things has a massive

impact. Like, the last stream I did had

140 viewers. Today's stream has 77.

Why? I have no idea. Is it

because the title? Today's title is not

really sad and emo. When I do a sad and

emo title, I get more viewers.

The last title was what?

I Need to Talk About Something.

Maybe because it was Sunday. I have no

idea.

Would you go to the US with Tiger?

No, I don't want to go there. It looks

boring. I'd rather spend my money doing

something I want to do, like going to

Japan, getting a bike.

Don't know if titles matter that much.

Yeah, the clickbait power has definitely

worn off, but I still think it works a

little bit. The quitting YouTube

stuff doesn't work anymore after doing it

20 times.

I saw this guy, 19-year-old American. He

sailed across the Pacific Ocean in a

little boat.

That's insane. Imagine you fall off the

boat. There's no way you could swim back

to the boat because the boat's just gonna

keep going. You'd be dead. The boat would

just keep going off without you. Or what

if he was using wind, so he wasn't using

an engine, so the wind was blowing him?

Yeah, from Hawaii to French Polynesia,

like very blonde albino looking white guy.

That is insane. All alone in a little

boat.

I would never do that. So scary. No,

it's so scary. I wouldn't be able to do

that. And then you can't really sleep

because you gotta be awake to make sure.

Imagine you just sleep for like 10 hours

and your boat is sailing towards,

I don't know, a cliff. And then you wake

up and you're like right in front of the

cliff about to crash into it. And then you

get eaten by a shark. A cliff

in the middle of the ocean. I don't know,

something like a boat that you sail into

because you're sleeping. So you can barely

sleep because you got to be awake all the

time to make sure you're on course and

Also, it looks really boring because

you're just sitting in a boat for days and

days, and he's got all this technology

like auto steering mechanism,

auto compass, radios, engines,

lighting. Imagine back in the 1800s, you

just got the wind and gas lanterns,

and you gotta use the stars to navigate.

We have it easy now.

Okay, so what

kind of content are we even gonna do?

It can't just be all cycling, that'll be

boring. It's gotta be broken up. I gotta

find something along the way to do. Try

and find something interesting. I don't

know what to do.

Would it be expensive to rent a caravan?

Maybe, because I gotta rent the car too.

Go to bars. What, nightlife degen kind

of streaming? No, I don't do that. I'm not

a degen streamer.

The problem is, I know people are going to

find this boring. But I'm going

to find it interesting.

So what can I do?

I definitely feel like 24/7 streams on

second channel, vlog, daily vlog

content for main channel.

On average, I make about $40 per

stream. So if I did that every day,

that's like $1,200.

And then on average, I make like $15 a

video. If I do that every day, $450 plus

$1,200, could make like $1,600 daily

streaming and vlogging.

The problem with the last trip was I daily

streamed, but I really didn't put out any

videos apart from 2.

The videos with my girlfriend in Japan,

although they got 8K views, they only made

like $20 each because

the watch time is low, because my viewers

don't watch me. They don't watch the

travel videos for very long. They'll watch

like a couple minutes, but they'll watch a

video of me just sitting here ranting on

and on for like 20 minutes, and then we'll

get really good watch time.

So I need to rant and complain about

stuff. What can I complain about?

You've lost more viewers by then. Yeah,

my viewership has gone down loads since

last Japan trip. Last Japan trip, I was

still getting like 10K views. Now I'm

getting about 3 to 4K.

Because nothing's happening to talk about.

The biggest thing to happen was the tax

thing, and the

tax thing The

camping trip completely flopped. Those are

the kind of numbers I'd look at, be

looking at for a Japan trip, really. Like

2K.

The making pie arc.

The most views I had recently was about my

channel dying, 7K, 7.7K,

and then the Ice Poseidon videos,

11K. I wish people just watched me to

travel, not for dramatic life events.

Yeah, I guess I could like, I could bait

the whole idea of me and my girlfriend

breaking up or her cheating or finding an

American guy. I don't think she would like

that though. I know

if I market it as a bike trip, no one will

Hmm, when am I going back to Japan? I'm

thinking early March, so I gotta book

the tickets soon. I just gotta make sure

this is actually what we're doing and

she's not gonna like change her mind or

something. Is she actually going to

America or not? Is this just like a big

test?

Better not be some stupid woman test

again. Like, to test how I react.

How sad am I?

Daniel doesn't do positivity. I think I

do, it's just it doesn't get views. I have

to be negative and emo to get any

attention around here. Otherwise no one

cares. You know, my bike trip back to my

childhood home in the UK got 8K views now.

I mean, it's not bad, is it?

The bike malfunctions. That would be

pretty funny. That would be some drama,

wouldn't it? Oh my God, my bike broke down

on the road. I got a ride from hot

Japanese woman hitchhiking through

the Japanese mountains with hot Japanese

woman because my bike broke down. Now that

would be content.

Gotta bring my GoPro. Probably film or do

the vlogs like that on my little GoPro.

This thing has lasted a while, look at

that. How many years?

5 years now using this. This would

be great to film on because it's small and

easy to hold. You can just flip it around

Yeah, I have lots of ideas. They're just

not ideas that my viewers are going to

care about. That's the sad thing. I want

to do a camping bike trip and then like an

endurance marathon bike trip.

And I really want to do an electric bike

trip and

bring tools to fix it. There's probably

gonna be bike shops along the way. Maybe a

puncture repair kit could be useful.

It will be fine. I'll just push it to a

bike shop if it breaks.

Make a house in— build your house in

Japan. Maybe next time.

I mean, I could look for IKEAs along the

way because I'll be in the countryside.

I've never really been in the countryside

in Japan. Oh yeah, I went to Nagano

Prefecture. That was pretty much the

Bike trip in Thailand? No thanks.

Probably get attacked by a pack of stray

dogs. And the weather is

so hot here, there's no way you could do a

bike trip. And the traffic is crazy.

And the Thailand countryside is not that

amazing.

Khao Yai was nice, I guess.

Problem is my girlfriend can't do anything

physical. She needs to be sitting in a

so I can happily bike for like 8 hours

straight, but there's no way she could.

We went to Vietnam and we just walked for

like 5 hours and she literally nearly

started to cry because she was so tired

and we had to keep stopping so she could

rest. I could easily walk for like 8 hours

straight and just walk through the pain.

I don't know, she's like really weak when

it comes to walking. Walking and stuff.

She gets tired quickly.

I'm not strong, but I think I've got

stamina. Like, I can go for hours just

biking or walking.

So this is definitely a solo trip idea.

What is Iya Valley in Japan?

Yeah, I think it'd be fun. We land in

Fukuoka, we get the supplies, get the

bike, figure out my setup,

set up the stream. I feel like as soon as

I leave Fukuoka City for Kitakyushu, the

stream is going to disconnect constantly.

I'll get a SIM card anyway because I'll

need one to navigate and stuff.

I'm getting fat. I think a good long bike

trip would get me into shape. My stomach's

getting fat and my face is getting fat.

I had such a good dinner last night. Big

bowl of— it's like Thai noodles with soft

braised beef. Fell apart in your mouth.

And these crispy deep-fried spring roll

things. So good.

You're going to be on your bike getting

hit by cars. I think the roads are going

to be pretty empty. I looked on Google

Street Maps and the roads are not that

busy. The, the reason why is because all

the cars go onto the highways when they're

going between cities. Japanese people will

just ride on the motorway, so all the back

roads are kind of quiet and

peaceful, I reckon.

Used to hate Thai food. This is not really

Thai food though, it's just Chinese food,

isn't it? I mean, noodles with beef.

It's pretty much Chinese food. Deep fried

spring rolls is Chinese food. This is not

what I would consider Thai food. And then

she brought home this disgusting bag of

fruit. It was like,

I don't know, it was like raisins and

grapes mushed into a soft

candy and it tastes nice. But then

you start chewing into it and then it gets

really spicy. And then I spat it out. It

was horrible. I thought it was going to be

like hard, chewy raisin fruit

candy, and then it just got really spicy

all of a sudden as I chewed into it.

Yeah, it was weird. I thought it was going

to be sweet and fruity, and then it was

all spicy. They put chilies in it. Why

they got to put chili on everything?

They put chili on the spaghetti as well.

And in the KFC, they inject orange chili

sauce into the chicken.

It's horrible. I get— I get a tissue and

I wipe off the orange stuff.

I hate chili. Just makes my mouth hurt,

and it's so powerful it overrides all the

other flavor.

I like meaty, savory food.

I'm hungry too now.

Oh wow, thanks Frog Effa.

Are you shooting blanks? Yeah, probably,

if there's no baby.
