[2025-02-15] update on my new life - new job and debt [jGtOxt17NNU]

Testing.

Testing.

Bit tricky, this.

Um, I've got wires everywhere.

Okay, trying to get comfy.

This is my new stream setup.

Um, yeah, okay, I think this Could work.

I just gotta hold the microphone like this

the whole time. Yeah, I got my new sofa,

which means I don't need my gaming chair

anymore. So I was thinking, what if I get

rid of the gaming chair? Because why would

I sit on the gaming chair when I've got a

whole sofa? £500 sofa,

definitely better than £180

gaming chair.

I think I might try returning it to

Amazon. This pillow's in

the way.

I just had leftover Chinese food and chips

and a beer. I feel stuffed.

So yeah, I had a nice Valentine's Day.

Sunny came over and she brought Japanese

rice, ribeye steaks,

and some cabbage. And we had

like Japanese steaks and rice and I made

my cabbage dish.

Do I ever get tired of returning

everything? Yeah, it's annoying because at

the time you think, Oh, I need this thing.

And then you get it and then you use it

for a bit and then you don't need it

anymore. And then you're like, actually,

I don't need it. So I got that foot warmer

thing. I don't use it anymore.

But at the time my feet were freezing,

so it made sense to get a foot warmer.

But now my feet aren't freezing anymore

because I got this curtain thingy for the

doorway and it really keeps the heat

inside of the room. So now the room is

nice and warm. So the

problem before was even with the heating

blasting, the heat would all go out of the

door. But now I've got this curtain, it

goes across the doorway, it traps all the

heat in so well. So I don't

even need the heating on full blast and it

stays warm in here. So I don't really feel

cold anymore, which means I don't really

need the foot warmer. And I brought all my

stuff from upstairs. Remember before it

was upstairs in the tiny room? Yeah, I

brought it all back downstairs because

it's not freezing in here anymore. And

yeah, it's nicer in the living room. It's

also way less echoey. Can you hear?

There's not really an echo anymore now

I've got all this furniture. It was weird

because when I first moved in here, it was

like echo, echo, echo. And now it's

nice and sound insulated.

Got a nice rug with a soft underlay.

Your feet were in there? Well, don't you

think Amazon cares? You can return

anything on Amazon whether you've opened

it or not opened it.

Now no view? I'm not really that bothered

about it. I wasn't even looking at the

view anyway. So what would be nice is if I

can find a way to set up my mic stand so I

don't have to hold it like this the whole

time. Bit annoying.

Yeah, I went for like a job interview

today and it went pretty well and they

said I can start on Monday. The problem is

I've got a delivery company coming over to

pick up my tatami mat, but I won't be here

on Monday now, so hopefully I can just

leave it outside and they'll take it.

So yeah, it's another delivery job, so

driving. I'm not gonna say which one it is

this time, otherwise the stupid freaks

are gonna try and report me. I don't know

why I have to have these stupid freaks

following me, reporting me to everyone for

everything. But yeah, I've got to keep

things secret now. If I don't want to lose

it. Learned my lesson from the

Amazon Flex thing. I didn't think I'd get

banned like that.

Really annoying. Amazon Flex would have

been great here. Oh well.

Big gaps on your CV. They don't care about

that. No one cares about your CV as long

as, as long as you can do the job and

you're available. That's all they care

about. They're like, okay, when can you

start? What days can you do? I don't care

if you were in Japan and Thailand for 5

years in 2000 and who knows what. No one

gives a damn. It's a low-skilled job.

Where they're desperate for new people,

as if they give a damn about that stuff.

That kind of stuff only matters if you're

like trying to apply for a high-end job in

a big company, or even if it's a small

company, like a company where they

actually care about who they employ.

And they're looking for someone who wants

to take the job seriously. But yeah, a job

like this, they don't care about that kind

of stuff. Basically, you just show up and

they're like, great, when can you start?

Here's some training. See you on Monday.

Don't know why you guys kept— I don't know

why you guys kept saying, oh, oh,

your internet history and footprint,

you're never going to be able to get a job

again. Shut the fuck up. Sucker. What do

you know about the world? You know

nothing. I think the whole world is like,

oh, trying to apply for high-end corporate

jobs. You know, there's like millions of

jobs where they don't give a crap about

that stuff. I'm so sick and tired of

you guys thinking you know everything when

you know nothing. For years

I had to put up with comments like, oh,

your YouTube career is going to make it

impossible for you to ever get a job

again, Daniel. Shut up. You're talking

a lot of rubbish.

You really think like some silly YouTube

videos— you really think employers are

going to care about some silly YouTube

videos you made like 8 years ago?

Get real.

I don't know what world you live in.

For years I had to put up with that

nonsense.

Fuck, these pillows— it's just too many

pillows. They're getting in the way of my

elbows. I think this is nice like that.

The sofa matches my jumper color and I got

orange KitKat. Can life get any better?

Amazon Flex. They don't care about the

YouTube videos. They cared because they

saw me violating the terms of service,

which was my mum delivering for me. Do you

think they care about like, oh, sex doll

video from 2018?

You know what I'm curious about? I'm

curious if it was the video that got me in

trouble. So what if I just never If I had

never shown the videos but I said verbally

on stream, yeah, me and my mum do it

together, would they have banned me? Or is

it just because I showed my mum delivering

for me? Because I feel like you can get

away a lot with just saying stuff, but

when you show it, that's when you get in

Pedo stuff? There's no pedo stuff apart

from the nonsense idiots are trying to

make up. If there's actually any pedo

stuff, the police would be knocking on the

If you got so much proof, then where's the

police? That means you got no proof. That

means It's

a load of rubbish.

Didn't they come from Manchester

stream? What? Don't know what you're

talking about. Yeah, the police came

over the horse,

but they didn't do anything. They just

said, uh, just here to have a chat with

you. We got a report. About your stream

content. You're not in any trouble.

We're just here to chat. And that was it.

And then they were like, okay, now we've

had the chat. Um, seems like you're a nice

guy. Have a nice day. That was it.

This is the last orange KitKat. Yeah, I

feel pretty good. I feel like up

until now, everything that didn't work out

didn't work out for a reason. And now it's

placed me in a position where I have a

good feeling about this job. I feel like

it's going to be good local area.

Don't have to commute too far.

The work shouldn't be hard.

People were very friendly.

Yeah, I went in for a training session

today, basically just stood around for

about 20 minutes whilst he explained, and

then he said, see you on Monday. Oh, by

the way, you're going to get paid for

today's training. I said, oh, thanks. I

wasn't even expecting to get paid. So I

got paid today. To basically just do

Oh, that tea is so good after chocolate.

You know when you eat a lot of chocolate

and then it all gets kind of stuck in your

throat and you get all phlegmy, like thick

phlegmy chocolate phlegm?

It's so nice to wash it down with some

How many hours a week? Well, I said

part-time, but they seem like they really

want full-time. It's just I'm worried if I

do full-time, I'll get burned out and I'll

get stressed. But really,

I should do full-time. It's just I'm

worried I'm going to bite off more than I

chew— I can chew, and then I'll regret

asking for full-time. But I'm also worried

if I just say part-time, they'll be like,

oh, we found another guy who said he'll do

full-time. So Sorry, Daniel.

So maybe I should grab the full-time and

just do it because Uber Eats is just not

working out. I thought I could rely on

Uber Eats, but no,

Uber Eats sucks here. People here just— I

don't know, either they're too old or they

don't eat McDonald's. It's just not good.

I don't know why Uber Eats is just really

dead. In this area.

I think for Uber Eats to be booming, you

need a lot of young people with disposable

income who can just blow like £15 on

lunch McDonald's.

Devon is quiet. Yeah, but in the city

Plymouth, it's got a population of 260,000

people. That's nearly more than double of

Maidstone. And they also have a greater

economical output than Maidstone. They

generate like £5 billion towards the

economy, whereas Maidstone only generates

like £3 billion. So Plymouth is bigger,

has more people, and has more money. So I

don't understand why— maybe they're just

more health conscious because you see a

lot of people around here jogging and a

lot of cyclists. So many cyclists.

Maybe they're just more health conscious

here and they don't eat McDonald's. I

don't know.

Barely got any Uber Eats offers pop up

when I was waiting outside McDonald's.

So I can't really give too many details

about my new job because I don't want to

lose it. Got freaks and weirdos

trying to make me lose everything. If they

could do it, they would make me lose

everything. Their goal is

to make me lose everything. They just want

me to get banned and disqualified and

kicked off every single thing they can

report me to. It's just absolutely

sickening behavior. I don't know what is

wrong with these people. They're

absolutely mental.

You thought they'd be like, oh good, Dan,

you've got a job. Now he can learn. But

no, they get me fired from my job. That's

Internet trolls, huh? I'm not the

only one though. Recently I found this

channel, quite small. He blew up recently.

He made a video called 30 Years Old

Working in a Dead-End Job at 7-Eleven.

Got like 3 million views. He was having

fun vlogging, goofing off. And then the

viewers or the trolls reported him to the

7-Eleven and he got fired because he

filmed himself drinking non-alcoholic beer

at work. So it happens. If you get an

audience, no matter what size, there's

bound to be a couple in there who are

going to try and get you in trouble and

you give them the ammunition because

you weren't careful. And that's just what

Us humans, we're a sick species. We just

love— we love sabotaging

each other for our own pleasure. It's just

sad, isn't it? That's why you got to

protect yourself. You got to protect your

family and loved ones because we're a sick

species. We're not all like, oh, I'm here

to help you. We've got sick people out

there who would take pleasure in bringing

you down if you gave them the ability to

do so.

It is really sad that we have to live in

that kind of world, but that's just what

it's like, I guess. I should have known.

No, it's not just me. I mean, that guy who

works at 7-Eleven seems like a really nice

guy without any weirdness, and he's still

got trolls. Getting him fired from his

job. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about,

the 7-Eleven guy. But he's lucky because

his channel is blown up now, so he's gonna

get like hundreds of thousands of views

every video because he's just gone viral

and they all love him and they think he's

such a great guy. Did you see how many

Super Thanks he was getting? He was

getting like hundreds of dollars. I kept

scrolling down, I kept seeing $99, $50.

All this support. Crazy. I've never seen

so many Super Thanks in a comment section

before.

He's like you before the toxicity. Yeah.

Do you think he's going to go crazy?

Get all angry? Yeah, I was like that in

the beginning. Everyone was really

supportive and then I went— I got kind of

crazy, didn't I?

I feel like he's probably tempted to go on

a world tour to make content now he's got

this big audience. If he's smart,

he will start saving every penny he makes

off YouTube and put it towards buying a

house, not blowing it like I did.

Problem is you feel like, oh, this is

going to last forever. I'm going to be

famous forever.

Tell us about how your Valentine's Day

went. Did Sunny leave today? P.S. Love

you, TB. Yeah, she left today because,

well, I had to go for my job thing, and

then she also has to babysit today.

So we left quite early in the morning.

Yeah, I had a nice Valentine's Day. It was

really nice to have some proper food after

all that pasta. God, those ribeyes were so

good. I enjoyed the rice so much I ordered

myself a 5 kg bag of rice. I'm going

to go from— I'm going from pasta to rice

now. Going to start making some Japanese

meals like Nubbies.

I'm going to make lots of nubbit.

The problem is it's hard to get the

ingredients. We don't have daikon here

unless you go to an Asian supermarket and

we don't have— we got tofu, but it's not

really the same kind of tofu.

I think we got the mushrooms, but we need

the meat, like the thin slices of meat.

We don't really have that. The only thin

slices of meat we have would be bacon and

ham, but you're not going to put that in a

soup, are you? We have steaks

and chops which are quite thick,

so I don't know what to do about the meat.

Maybe I can get a chop and then slice it

really thinly. The bed.

Oh my God, the bed was so noisy. I gotta

do something about the bed. It was fine

when it's just me, but when it's 2 of us

together in the bed, it's like, eee, eee,

eee, eee, all the time. Every time we

move, the little planks of wood under the

mattress would creak. Oh God, it's

horrible. Who made that bed? Horrible bed.

I mean, it looks nice, but they put these

wooden slats under the mattress. And every

time you move, they all bend and creak.

So noisy. I'm thinking I take those

out and I stuff all

of the cardboard and foam that I have

where those slats go and then put the

mattress on top of it. I really got to fix

the bed before she comes over again

because the noise was a bit annoying.

Oh, I've got to tighten up some screws.

Maybe that's the reason. I did tighten up

the screws as much as I could.

Yeah. And then, so we had the steaks.

They were really good. And she brought

cabbage and I made that Japanese cabbage

dish where you put oil and salt and garlic

on it. But we didn't have sesame oil, so I

just used cooking oil. But it was okay.

It still tasted kind of like it. I ordered

some sesame oil and then next day we

got Chinese food, which was really good.

And I had some today, leftovers and some

beer.

And we watched Handmaid's Tale. Tale. At

first I didn't like it, but I'm starting

to get into it now. I'm intrigued. I quite

enjoy the world, the world building.

It's just a bit slow, but I do think it

would get interesting. So yeah, that's

been fun to watch. It was really nice. I

brought the, the IKEA table, which is over

here, dragged it over to the sofa there,

and then we sat in the corner with the

monitor. It's really comfy.

The sofa's not bad. It was a bit hard at

first, but it is softening up. I noticed

it's much softer now. It was just really

hard the first day. It was like boom.

Now it's getting much softer. It is

nice to have a sofa. Did the debt numbers

evolve? I think they're kind

of out of date. The Amazon credit card is

a bit more than that.

I sent back the futon. They're coming on

Monday to pick up the tatami mat, but I'm

going to go to work on Monday, so I'm not

sure how they're going to pick it up.

I bought more stuff today. I bought—

I bought chopsticks, I bought rice, I

bought honshu to make some Japanese nabe,

I bought toilet cleaner and a toilet brush

because I'm sick and tired of putting my

hand into the poo water. Because sometimes

I, I do a number 2 and it gets stuck

inside the toilet and I gotta wipe it.

Sick and tired of putting my hand into the

poo water, so I bought a brush. And what

else? Let me check.

Yeah, I'm gonna leave it outside.

Hopefully he'll just take it.

Yeah, I got miso soup bowl. I bought miso

soup paste, sellotape, sesame oil,

toilet brush. Yeah, I'm starting to get

Japanese food craving. Like, I miss— I

miss the rice and I miss just having some

meat with it and some miso soup. You know,

simple Japanese poverty meal. I'm really

bored of pasta. So I'm going to start

cooking some rice and make some cabbage.

Yeah, I'm sick and tired of pasta. I've

been eating it every day for a month now.

Going to have lots of nabbis. Carrots.

Just get some carrots. What else?

Carrot, potato. No, I don't want to double

carb. Maybe carrots. I'll find some kind

of meat cut that'll go good in a soup.

Mushrooms, maybe some leeks.

And then I'll just boil it in the pot and

then have it with rice. Sounds good.

Diced beef. That's more like a stew meat,

isn't it? I need Japanese nabe meat,

which is usually— it's like the thin slice

and it curls up when it boils.

Definitely need carrots. Daikon would be

nice, but we don't really have that here.

I think there's an Asian supermarket in

Plymouth, but I don't really want to go

all the way there.

How are the shifts?

Uh, what do you mean? They got part-time

and full-time. They said come in the

morning, do your shifts, then you can go

home.

Or you can get seeds, daikon seeds, and

then grow your own. Maybe I'll start a

little Japanese vegetable garden in my

garden. That'd be fun.

Yeah, it was nice.

We played this game called Ghostwire,

and then me and Sunny were having a

nostalgia trip because it was really—

well, it's basically in Tokyo and it looks

really realistic and well-designed and

detailed. We were just walking around the

streets of Shibuya. The gameplay was

a bit boring, to be honest. You just like

spam the mouse button and he shoots colors

out of his fingers at these ghosts. But

the theme and the atmosphere was really

cool. I felt like you're right back

in Japan again. What did I get her for

Valentine's? I got her a card and a box of

chocolates, but it was a nice

card with like a pop-up tree with 2 people

standing under the tree.

You literally have a glass house outside.

Do you mean the conservatory? Yeah,

it's basically like a greenhouse, isn't

it? Do you think I'd get in trouble if I

just cover the floor in dirt and grow

things in it? Or I could just get

containers For the dirt to go in.

Yeah, it's literally a greenhouse, isn't

it? I wonder if I can grow plants in a

conservatory because they would

need the roots to spread, wouldn't they?

But it would take like 3 months to grow.

I don't think I can be bothered. I don't

want daikon that badly. Yeah, I got her

gift. I got her chocolates.

How many hours per day is the job?

Part-time or full-time? I asked for

part-time,

but might try— I don't know. I'm scared if

I do full-time, I get burnt out. I reckon

part-time plus YouTube should be enough.

I mean, Amazon Flex was part-time because

I was only allowed to do about 25 hours a

month— a week, and you couldn't do any

more than that. And doing Amazon Flex

part-time, I was making like £400 a week.

So part-time is nothing to be scoffed at.

Part-time, you can make like £18K,

£19K a year. Obviously full-time, you're

going to make $30K plus,

probably not $30K, probably more like

$25K. The funny thing is part-time

is not half of full-time. The way I

think of it is part-time is 50% of

full-time, but it's not actually. It's

more like 70% of full-time.

I just feel like if I did full-time,

I'd be out all day and then I'd probably

come home 6 or 7 and

I'd just be too tired to want to do

YouTube. All I would be able to do is like

a lazy stream.

But if I do part-time,

I just do a couple hours a day and I come

home, do some YouTube, make some food.

Yeah, if I, if I did full-time, I would

literally not even have to care about

YouTube anymore. But I would rather— I

mean, what would you rather do? Full-time

on one job or split it between 2

different jobs? Because YouTube's easy.

I mean, it's not easy to get views, but

doing it is physically easy because you

just sit here and then you talk into a

microphone. So I'd rather do a

mixture of YouTube plus part-time job than

just give up on YouTube and focus

full-time on a job that I probably won't

even like doing.

So I'd rather do part-time plus YouTube

than full-time and barely any YouTube.

YouTube is annoying in the way that no

matter how hard you work, if you're not

going to get views, you're not going to

get views. You have no control over

whether you're going to get views or not.

You might pump out 100 videos and they'll

flop, and then you make this one video and

it does really well. It's such a gamble.

Basically, I want to do YouTube full-time,

but I can't because it doesn't make enough

money, so I'm gonna have to put— I'm gonna

have to do YouTube alongside a part-time

job,

unfortunately.

The thing is, I just don't know what to do

for content. It's really hard coming

up with content.

Travel content doesn't work. Vlogging

myself at work got me banned at work and

it didn't even get any views anyway. None

of the Amazon Flex videos got any views.

They just got the normal views I usually

Would I earn more money if I gave up on

YouTube and did full-time?

Hmm, I don't know.

I don't think so. I think I make more

money if I keep doing YouTube plus

part-time work.

But I need content for YouTube. If I just

sit in my room, I don't have anything to

talk about. But I can't talk about my job

because I want to protect it this time.

My gum hurts. I had these mini chocolate

eggs and you know how they have this hard

shell on the outside? I bit it

and it stabbed me in the gum. It was so

annoying. It's like it got stuck in

my top tooth and as I clamped down,

the bit stuck in the top tooth came down

like a dagger into my gum.

So irritating. Why do they make

jagged sharp food? You know, like crisps.

Sometimes you're eating crisps and a shard

of crisp breaks off and just stabs you in

the gum. It's so annoying.

Now it's all swollen and it increases the

chances of biting again, so I have to be

really careful when I clamp down.

They really should make the gum out of

really thick skin, but it's such delicate

thin skin and it takes ages to heal. It

takes like 2 weeks for it to form an ulcer

and then go all white. It's so silly.

139 viewers, only 1 like. Really?

Come on guys, give me a like. Actually,

I've got 17 likes according to my

dashboard. I always

see YouTubers begging the viewers to like

the stream so it gets sent out to

everyone. Does that really work? I don't

think it makes a difference.

I think you have to press the refresh

button on your internet browser.

Otherwise, it will stay as it was.

Get Bonjela. That doesn't work because the

saliva in your mouth just washes it away.

And it kind of tastes good, so you want to

eat it and you start salivating.

Bonjela.

So what do you think of my new stream

setup? I actually literally don't need the

gaming chair anymore. I could unscrew it.

Look, I can unscrew

the gaming chair and And then send— put it

back in some box, or I just make a

makeshift box. I don't know where to send

it though, because when I did the refund

thing, it just said Amazon has accepted

your refund. Print off return label.

But the return label is just a barcode

without an address on it. Cut this and

place inside return package. Yeah, but

where do I send it to? I don't understand

What do you mean you cannot disassemble

chairs? I just get a screwdriver and I

unscrew it and take it apart the way I put

it together. Yeah, I don't know what to do

now. I've got this really nice sofa and

I got an expensive gaming chair. I thought

I was just gonna sit on the gaming chair

all the time like I do at home. At my

mum's house, because at my mum's house I

never use the sofa apart from having

dinner, and I'm always in my bedroom on my

gaming chair. But now I've got a sofa

all to myself, and it would be nice to

have a little cat to sit with.

Barcode has the info for the address.

So what do I do? Take it to the post

office and they scan the barcode?

Yeah, if I get rid of the gaming chair,

then I don't need the desk.

What's the point of having a desk? Maybe

I'll just keep it because maybe at some

point I'll want the desk to sit at

to use the computer. Yes, I am kind of

busy right now, so I can't watch the full

stream unfortunately. I just want to know

where you will be going from here.

Congratulations on the house, by the way.

Oh, thanks. What's your plan? Do you still

work? Considering training or education

for career? Thanks. Yeah, I've been

considering getting trained in Category

C1 driving so I can drive

a 7.5-tonne vehicle. What do you think?

A lot of jobs out there for 7.5-tonne

vehicles pay pretty well. Pay like £20 to

£25 an hour.

Could become a truck driver, or I could

just do like 3.5-ton vehicle, which is

basically a van, which I can drive. I can

drive a 3.5-ton vehicle on my current

license. So I could do like Morrison's

supermarket delivery.

But yeah, I probably need more driving

experience with my current car. I could

probably do like another year or two just

doing car deliveries and then maybe think

about, hmm, I could try getting a new

license like Category C1.

I feel like driving could be my thing.

Pays good. Don't need to talk to people.

You don't really need experience.

I mean, some of the jobs say you need a

year of 7.5-ton driving experience. The

problem is 7.5-ton trucks— I mean, not

7.5-ton trucks, I mean 3.5-ton vans— they

usually deliver pretty big items like

sofas and fridges. That would mean I would

have to lift it and I'd probably need an

assistant. I would probably start off as

the assistant. I don't really want to work

with people, but yeah, if I'm driving a

truck, it means they're going to be

sending— I mean, delivering heavy objects,

and then I'm going to have to lift them.

So when I got this sofa, 2 men delivered

it, and they weren't big men. I was

actually taller than both of them. One

black guy and one white guy. They didn't

look ripped or anything. I could easily

have done the job.

So yeah, I thought maybe when

I have a bit more delivery experience,

maybe I could think about going up to a

van and then maybe a truck at

some point.

Yeah, I wouldn't go straight to the truck.

I would definitely go from car to van,

then to truck, and then, I don't know,

HGV, 18-ton,

18-wheeler truck. Maybe in the future,

maybe Dave Gibson was right. Post, the

Royal Mail have a lot of jobs. 7.5-ton

truck. You just go to a distribution

center, you pick up all the mail. You

don't have to deliver it house to house in

the 7.5-ton truck. You just take it from

distribution center to the local center,

and then a little postman will come and

pick up the individual house-to-house

letters.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that. I don't know,

could just get some more experience

delivering in my car first.

Van driver. I could get a van now,

actually. So yeah, I'm looking forward to

Monday. I'm hoping it's going to be much

better than last time.

Imagine if someone told 20-year-old Daniel

he'd end up driving trucks for a living.

Yeah, I know. I had this thought earlier

today. I was thinking because I was

looking up where— I was looking up where

to go on Monday on the map and I found it

and I was looking at it thinking, Jesus,

this Google Maps picture, street map view

was taken in 2007.

2007.

Imagine going back in time, telling little

weeb, weeb 18-year-old Daniel who's

obsessed with Japan and Japanese girls,

and learn Japanese. Imagine going to him

and being like, oh, hello Daniel, just to

let you know, in how

many years, like 20, 18 years' time,

you're going to be a truck driver in the

middle of nowhere, Devon. You're not going

to be living in Japan. You're not going to

have Japanese wives. You're not going to

be like a massive famous YouTuber.

Going to be a truck driver in the middle

of But fuck nowhere, Devon. I'd be like,

get lost. Book my ticket to Japan to meet

my Japanese girlfriend. You know nothing.

It's crazy how life just suddenly changes.

Well, it doesn't suddenly change. It

slowly changes, but it feels sudden

for some reason.

It is really strange how I just went from

obsessing over living in Japan, having a

Japanese wife and all that. And now I'm a

driver in the English countryside with my

own house. It's kind of weird.

And sometimes I do feel like, why did I

give up on my dream? Why did it become

like this? It's because I had a taste of

my dream and I didn't like it. Maybe

I think at some point in life you just

give up on what you really, really,

really, really want or what you think you

wanted. And you just take what's given

to you and you're like, oh, it's not that

bad. I guess it could be worse. And then

you kind of like do these mental

gymnastics to justify in your mind Why

what you're doing is the way it's supposed

to be.

Sometimes I watch that Trash Taste podcast

and I think I was one

of them at some point. Up-and-coming

YouTuber, lots of views, living in Japan.

That was the life I was leading.

Now it's all gone because

you wanted to be a swinger. Well, it's not

fair. How come you got weirdos like that

Japanese man who's got 5 wives?

How did he get 5 wives and then some of us

can't even get any girls?

And he's not even good looking. He's like

fat and weird looking.

Money? I don't know. I guess he's got

money if he can support 5 wives who all

have his children.

I guess it's money.

Yeah, there's loads of driving jobs.

There's— you go onto job websites and just

type in driver, and there's so many. Van

drivers, supermarket home delivery

drivers, 7.5-tonne driver, you know,

like UPS. They got those big— they're not

trucks, they're like really big vans where

you step into it. It's got like a step.

And then you got the big boys, the big HGV

drivers. There's so

many driving jobs.

I wouldn't mind giving a postman job a

try. Seems okay.

Bus driver. Yeah. Then there's also those

kind of driving jobs where you're not

delivering goods, you're literally

delivering people, taking people from A to

B. No, I don't want to do that. That would

be— that would defeat the purpose of

driving for a living because then you have

to interact with people. Train driver.

You don't really interact with people.

You just sit in the little driving bit and

you press the button.

Yeah, I've never tried taxi driving. I

would not want to do that. Way too— the

proximity to the customer is way too

close. They could be weird or stink.

And then if you get qualified, you can

then do driving jobs, like various niche

driving jobs, like at the airport. You

could drive those runway vehicles carrying

the luggage. That looks pretty easy. I

could do that.

Luggage driver.

I bet being a pilot, like a big passenger

plane pilot, is easy. You just press the

button to go and you press the button to

stop. You got a little thing to make it go

Most of it's done by the computer, isn't

And they got an airport nearby, Exeter

Airport.

Yeah. So I'm not, I'm not fully against

the idea of getting some training, but

it's not going to be like how you guys

keep whinging about at me. You guys are

like, oh, Daniel, you need to get back to

college, get an education so you can get a

real job. Again, you're talking rubbish.

Getting a college degree or like an

academic training course to get a better

job is not the only way. You know, you can

get— there's lots of other ways

to increase the amount of money you make,

like licenses,

forklift driving, picking up some skill.

You don't have to go to school and like

sit in a classroom and then take an exam

After studying for years,

there's, there's other things you can do.

Yeah, technically it's the same because

you pay some money, you take a course,

you got to do an exam, practical course,

and then you get the license and then you

could drive a 7.5-ton truck.

So yeah, maybe I'd be open to that idea.

Maybe forklift driver. I don't know, get

some kind of license that would unlock a

new level of jobs that I could apply for.

Graphic designer. No, I don't want to do

anything on a computer. I hate computers.

I hate software. I hate mechanical

things, electrical things. I hate circuit

boards. I'm more of a practical,

hands-on person. I'm really not

a computer guy. I don't know why people

think I am because I look nerdy. I guess

they think I'm like all tech savvy.

Really? I'm not, though. I hate computers.

I just like playing games and browsing the

Something with drawing. My drawings are

just not that good. I'm not a genius or

talented, and I don't

have loads of ideas.

Trying to make it as an artist would be

extremely difficult.

I always had these ideas of like a

scene, usually a cozy scene

with a fireplace and a cute girl, and

she's like snuggled up and outside there's

the elements, rain coming down. And I

always had that kind of idea in my mind,

and I wanted to create a really cool

digital painting, and it would just

never come out how I'm picturing it in my

mind. And I get frustrated

and I just gave up.

You know, you're picturing how you want it

to look in your mind and you just— it

won't come out onto the paper.

It's so annoying.

And then you go on DeviantArt and there's

so much good stuff on there and you think,

God, I could never get that good.

Did I really rent a house to see Sunny

once a week? No, not just

that. That was one of the reasons.

There are multiple other reasons why I'm

doing what I'm doing, but you guys just

don't see it because you see everything in

absolutes, black and white.

Binary. You don't see in between the

lines. That's why you're all like, why is

Daniel doing all this just so he can see

Sunny once a week? Daniel's so stupid.

You don't understand. You don't understand

because you don't listen. Even when I try

and explain to it, you still don't get it

because you don't listen.

That's the problem with you guys. You

think you know everything about everything

when you actually don't know anything

because you don't listen.

This is way, way more than just to

be able to see something. Obviously,

that's like a major component of it, but

it's not the only component.

I feel like there was an upset yesterday

he isn't telling us about. I just get—

sometimes I just get tired of being

constantly criticized and being called

stupid over the dumbest things. And you

guys think I'm stupid because you don't

understand the full picture.

What are the other reasons? Number 1, to

get away from my mum because we just don't

get along. That's a massive reason.

Number 2, to have independence as an adult

and to have autonomy and independence in

my own living place. And to stand up on my

own two feet and to prove to myself that I

It's all those things because it doesn't

feel good Feeling

like, oh, I need to live with my mum,

otherwise I can't survive in this world.

It makes you feel depressed, doesn't it?

It doesn't make you feel like you're

winning at life or you're doing a good job

or you're fulfilled. It's just

a sad existence. Yes, we listen and you

are making a big mistake. The tragedy of

your channel is that we can understand

where you are coming from, but the

execution is just wrong, unfortunately.

Yeah, the execution wasn't perfect,

but in an ever-moving and ever-changing

world of changing dynamics, you can't pick

and choose when you execute the plan.

Sometimes the plan executes itself and you

just have to go along with the flow. You

can't have everything lined up perfectly.

It's like when the Allies landed on the

beaches of Normandy. Could the weather

have been better? Yes. Could the Navy have

bombarded the beach defenses better? Yes.

You guys think in black and white. Also,

Daniel, you guys all think this way

because you don't listen. Not accounting

for the fact that each of his viewers is

an individual and has a different opinion.

Yeah, whatever. Yeah, sometimes the

timing, the right timing to do things is

now. Not next month, not next year. You

got to do it now. You got to pull the

trigger, even if the circumstances aren't

the best they could be. Yeah, it would be

nice if I had a bit more savings. Yeah,

it'd be nicer if it was not freaking

freezing cold winter to do this in and I

wasn't freezing my nuts off.

But it all just happened as it did.

But it's fine. I've finished buying my

furniture. I got my place.

I'm only in a couple thousand pounds of

debt. I got my new job coming up soon.

I'm gonna work hard and pay it all off.

And then you guys will see.

You act like £5,000 in credit card debt is

the end of the world.

I reckon, hmm, doing part-time work, I

could probably make about

maybe £250 a week.

£300 a week.

That'll give me £1,200 plus some YouTubes

plus some PayPals. I could make £2,100,

£2,200. And then if I get more confident

with the job, I might ask if I can do

full-time, and then I'll just be making so

I might get some water. I'm foaming.

Now it's put my drink.

You will be fine as long as you can stick

to your new job no matter what. And that's

the problem with you. As soon as you meet

a few challenges, you give up and eff

everything up. This time we are talking

thousands, Daniel. Make no mistake and

work your ass off. Yeah, that is

a problem. I do get fed up. And if it's

really hard, I'm like,

oh no, I don't want to do this, I hate it,

it sucks.

But I think this time is different.

So this delivery job is, uh,

it's going to be all small tiny towns

and villages. Rural. It's not going to be

towns or cities. It should be easy.

And they said I'll

basically just be doing the same locations

every day, so I'm going to get used to it

real quick.

I reckon part-time, it should be easy. He

said, do you do part-time? Maybe in the

beginning it would take you like 4 hours,

but you stick to it, you'll be able to get

it down to like 3 hours, 2 hours, and then

you can go home. So imagine I do part-time

work and it's just taking me 2 hours a

day. That'd be great.

Yeah, so I got a good feeling about it,

and also the location where I start is

really close, so it's like a 10-minute

drive away. Then I have to do an hour

drive. What am I going to buy with my

first paycheck? Well,

nothing. I've got to pay off credit cards.

Is part-time enough for your cost of

living? Yeah, in addition to YouTube,

it'll be plenty.

On its own? No, it wouldn't be enough.

But I have a secret weapon. My YouTube

channel allows me to

get away with only working part-time.

Things I want to buy. Rice cooker would be

nice, but I'm going to start practicing

cooking rice in a pot. I've done it

before, it's not too hard. It just

involves a few extra steps. So what you do

is you put the rice in, put the water,

you bring it to the boil, and then you

turn the heat low as it goes so

it simmers, and you put a lid on it, but

you leave a little gap so the steam can

And then you just let it simmer for like

15 minutes. I've done it before,

it shouldn't be too hard.

But I would like a rice cooker, they're

just a bit expensive. I also, I need to

get a washing machine. I can't

keep asking Sunny to do it for me. It's

just that they cost hundreds of pounds and

a man's gotta come in here to install it.

Unless I do it myself.

So yeah, I need a washing machine.

I want more kitchen stuff like knives. I

don't even have a kitchen knife yet.

Microwave could be nice. Washing machine.

Air fryer.

What else do I want?

I don't know. I've kind of decorated my

room in the style of The Handmaiden show

with the red curtains. Look at this. I've

got the red curtains there, I've got the

red curtains there, And I got my red

gaming chair.

It's looking pretty cozy. Got my sofa,

got my fireplace.

What else?

Hmm. What do you mean it's a mess?

There's nothing here to be messy. It's

just a table and chair.

Yeah, I really like the red curtains,

pictures up on the wall. Yeah, I could do

that because there's already some nails in

the wall from the previous tenants.

I don't know what kind of art I want.

Maybe like Japanese mountains.

At some point, I'm gonna have to wash my,

my bathrobe because that's gonna start

getting smelly. And also my bedsheets,

I'm gonna need to wash those. So I'd need

a second set of— Have you educated

yourself about your autism? I think it's

such a crucial point, understanding your

limits and learning about how autistic

people function. I don't think it really

matters, to be honest, because it won't

change anything. What's it

going to change? It's like you can study

the sun and understand why the sun and how

the sun does what it does. It doesn't

matter. The sun's still going to keep

So you can have 2 people, one who doesn't

know what the sun is at all and one who

completely understands power of nuclear

but at the end of the day, the sun's still

Also, I'm worried because, uh, my fluffy

rug is gonna start to get a bit dirty,

and I'm not sure how to clean that.

Oh wow, my electric blanket's been on.

It's nice and warm. I didn't even know it

was on, to be honest.

Oh yeah. It's really

hot. Why is it so hot?

Oh yeah, that's nice.

Oh yeah,

electric blanket.

I can't believe it stopped echoing in here

as well. Just some furniture. The sofa

really helped with the echo.

Carpet cleaner.

I think the washing— even if you get a

washing machine, it wouldn't be big enough

to put a massive rug like this into it.

You would have to take it out into the

garden and give it a good beating.

Yeah, I don't really know how to clean the

rug. Especially if

sauces or liquids get spilled onto it.

I'd have to scrub it.

The vomiting is worrisome. I think it's

just because I ate a lot of Chinese food

and I had a beer to wash it down, and I'm

getting acid reflux. Don't put

the laptop on the electric blanket.

Why not? I'm a bit worried because the

fans are under the laptop, and if I put it

on fabric, it blocks up the fans.

Bit silly, isn't it? Why do they put the

fans under there? They should put them, I

don't know,

on the side maybe.

I saw on the Tesco website they sell a

whole box of, of livers for only £1.

And if you wanted to get, I don't know,

chicken breasts or legs, it would be like
