[2024-12-30] my plans for 2025 [EzcMy54Dg3k]

Testing.

Testing.

Testing.

Testing.

I'm still sick.

I feel a bit better, but I

feel— I still feel really weak and

tired.

The cough's a bit better.

I'd say give it another 5

days. Probably 5 days, I'll be back

95% better.

It's been hard to speak. I feel like I've

got no energy in my voice.

It takes such a long time.

Usually it takes like 2 weeks to

feel better and then about a month until

you feel completely 100% better.

It's amazing you want to stream.

Well, to be honest, I don't really want to

stream, but there's only 2 days left

in the year. I thought I'd squeeze in 2

more streams so that on January I

get more money. Just think about

January.

Not doing it for now, doing it for next

month.

I wish I could just go to bed, to be

honest.

I haven't driven my car in nearly 2 weeks

now. Do you think the battery's gonna be

The main goal is, um, getting fluid

out my lungs.

That's like my only goal now. Don't let

the fluid build up.

It's weird because I went from being so

busy every day and not having enough time

to do everything, and now I just don't do

anything all day apart

from play Path of Exile.

I'm waiting for my money to come from the

stock market so I can pay off the credit

card.

I withdrew it this morning. I still don't

have the money.

£2,300. I'm £50

short.

I got another email from Amazon just

saying the same thing, but from someone

else. They just said, we have reviewed

your appeal, but letting someone deliver

on your behalf is a violation of the

rules. I don't remember reading any

rules that said that. Or they didn't make

How does the sponsor get the gold and orbs

to sell them? They probably just got

some Chinese person playing the game with

a bunch of bots and they just grind it all

day long.

Maybe that could be my new job, grinding

gold. Get paid $2 an hour.

I'd probably do it. It's better than

nothing. It's not like I'm going to go and

do Uber Eats in this state.

Yeah, I saw Asmongold's video about the $3

million WoW mafia where

they make loads of money just grinding on

bots in WoW. They make like $2,000 a

Suggest your mom open an account, you

deliver it secretly. No, I don't want to

do it anymore. I was already looking for

excuses to not do it. Before I got

banned. Like, I'll just sell stocks.

I'm gonna take a break. It's probably

gonna be snowing. I was already

looking for excuses not to do it anymore.

I really didn't want to do it anymore, to

be honest. Even if he gave my account

back, I don't want to do it. I hated it.

I still remember that stupid grumpy old

woman who was like, sick and tired of you

delivery drivers parking, using my

driveway as a parking spot.

Well, maybe if you idiots put house signs

outside of your stupid houses, then we

wouldn't accidentally drive into your

driveway. Got 2 houses right next to each

other with silly names like the Water Oat

Mill, the Waterway Cottage,

and then you don't know which one's which

because there's no sign on the outside

saying what the houses are. There's no

numbers. How am I supposed to know which

house is which? Idiots.

I wish I said that. Stupid woman.

Should have said, well, maybe if you put

some signs up, then I'd know which house

I'm supposed to be delivering to. Idiot.

Countryside people got no brains.

If it keeps happening, then maybe there's

a problem with your stupid property. It's

not like we want to park on your stupid

driveway.

What are my plans for 2025?

Hmm,

that is the question.

Number one.

Get money.

That's one plan. What else?

Hmm,

I just got weird flashback of when I was

doing that drawing on MS Paint and then

Mila slaps me in the face.

That drawing was good, do you remember

that? I used only the straight line tool

and How'd you do it?

How'd you do straight line?

Um, oh, oh yeah, it's this thing.

Yeah, I remember drawing a really nice

picture and it was like a house or

And then you can use the water bucket— I

mean, the paint bucket thing. Where is it?

Oh, they've changed MSS— MS Paint. I used

to know exactly how to use it, and now

they've changed it all, and it's weird.

I don't know where the paint bucket is.

Why does my mum keep messaging me when I

go live? It's so annoying.

Game development. I hate

video games, they're so boring. All you do

is kill this, kill that, get this stupid

currency so you can get this stupid fake

thing.

The Amazon Flex video is old. The last

one I posted is old. I'm still banned.

What do I do to unwind? I just doom scroll

YouTube Shorts. I just get into bed and

I just watch Shorts. I'm like, next,

next, next,

next. Oh, did you

see the South Korean plane crash? That's

insane. It's crazy that they

would have survived that because the crash

landing wasn't too bad, but then the thing

just went straight into a concrete wall.

Classic Korea.

Classic stupidity

of South Korea. Why are they so dumb? Why

would you put a concrete wall at the end

of a runway? Korea must be the

dumbest smart country that have ever

existed. They're so stupid.

Why are all these things happening in

Korea? Like the ferry thing, the Halloween

trampling thing, and now this.

It all basically points at one problem.

It's just that they're stupid. They're

good at— they're very good at passing

exams and studying for an exam, but

they've got like zero thinking out the box

ability and just blindly follow authority.

They don't even question like, oh, maybe

we should put concrete wall at the end of

the runway.

Maybe we shouldn't stay in our rooms when

the boat is obviously sinking. Maybe we

shouldn't all just pile down this narrow

street when there's thousands of us.

They're like the complete sheep

of people. They're so sheepy.

They just follow each other. Off the

cliff. They've got no critical thinking

ability. They're so dumb. I hope you

didn't tell Dave Gibson I'm still railing

Cami.

Oh, shut up, Mum. No, they're not.

She says all the family members are

watching. Your channel. Have you

considered selling Stray Dog to Chinese

man? Rubbish. My mum's paranoid that

our entire family have got

nothing better to do than sit there

watching me livestream so they can find

out all of her embarrassing secrets. No

one cares. Trust me.

People only care about their own stupid,

boring lives. Oh, wow. Thanks,

Donkey Kong. Very generous.

I don't think there's any country more

sheepy than Korea.

She's mad about the Kevin thing. I already

told the Kevin story like 10 years ago.

It's not news. People already know about

it. It just resurfaced because he showed

up at the house that other stream.

Well, if you don't want to be on the

stream, don't show up at the house.

Simple, really.

Not really happy with him showing up

anyway. After what he did.

Who asked him to come here and sit in

front of my camera for like 20 minutes?

Ain't no friend of mine.

What am I grateful for this year?

Um.

I don't

know yet.

So grateful. Who is that?

Is that Cesium?

Cesium's dad.

What is that?

Gypsy came home in his white van. You

should tell Cami not to have her peers

showing up at the house and lurking around

after he disrespected your father like

that. It's not your fault. Did she ever

apologize to you and Sabrina for that?

Then I— I come in.

There's no

affair that

happened recently.

It's crazy how I can sit

here and literally do nothing, but someone

comes to the house and then somehow I'm in

trouble for something I didn't even do.

It's actually insane.

I didn't even do anything.

I just said, oh, that's Kevin from 20,000

and blah blah blah when that thing

happened. Can't believe you're still

around.

As if I'm supposed to be happy about that.

It's like people don't think I have

opinions and feelings about things, like

I'm this empty robot that just sits here

without any emotions.

And then the shocked Pikachu face when I

get upset over something.

Wow. It's almost as if I'm a human being

and certain things upset me. Who'd have

thought it?

Just because I'm quiet in real life

doesn't mean I have— don't have opinions.

I have very strong opinions about—

Wasn't your mom also mad about the

horrible things you said about her? Lol.

Did your viewers send it to her or

something? How did she even know what you

said? I can't imagine she watches your

channel. No, she does.

I've heard her have my stream on playing.

I hear my voice.

Is that the only plan?

Um,

why is it teaching me how to use the

eraser? It thinks I'm stupid.

Okay, what are my plans?

Hmm.

That debt counter never moves. Well,

it'll be going to zero if I get my damn

money from my portfolio, which I requested

this morning. Market's getting wrecked

today. Good thing I sold. I sold

yesterday, I think. No, last Friday I

sold. Oh, I got it! I got the money!

£2,276.

I'm short £77.

I guess I've got to go into overdraft.

I'm gonna pay off the credit card

completely.

Oh yes, move money from

my main account.

Amount, two three five

two. Wait, make sure it's exactly how much

2352.12. Useless!

You are so reckless to sit in your room in

my house and speak ill of me. You are not

my son. You deserve nothing. I need to

remove you from the will. I'm grateful

underscore underscore underscore

underscore of underscore underscore

underscore underscore. Yeah, but it's my

country, isn't it?

Okay, paying off the credit card in full.

I will go into overdraft of £70.

Wow, I've paid off the credit card.

Now I've just got to wait for that to

pend. Shall we do

the honors? It only took over a year

and four months grinding on Amazon Flex.

Dun dun dun dun. Zero.

Yeah, I am seventy-seven. £75 overdraft

on my main account now. Um, where can

I plug that hole? How can I plug it?

I've got some money in my PayPal now. I

could sell a tiny bit of Bitcoin,

couldn't I?

I just want to know what it feels like to

not have credit card debt anymore.

Okay, so I've got £5,000 in

my stocks. I've got

£520 in my

I'm gonna get paid £800

January for YouTube.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

You would be debt-free if you sell stocks

and put everything towards mum debt.

Yeah, if I sell everything, I'd have an

extra 5K. Plus crypto, I would only owe

her another $2,200.

But then I'd have nothing to my name.

No, I'm not selling the rest of my stocks

now. The market's crashing. Now's not the

time to sell. I sold ASML at

715. It's now at 698, so that was good.

And I sold £1,000 worth of Barrick Gold

around 1570. That's at 1540.

Oh, SPY down to 586.

I should feel financially stronger now I

don't have credit card debt.

Destroy the credit card. Even if I burn it

or melt it, I can still use it because

it's online. I would have to close the

account, and I think it could be useful.

In— if you're in like an extreme emergency

and you just don't have any money,

at least then you've got like a— do you

think the crypto cycle will play out the

same way as previous ones in 2025? Price

action recently has been pretty lame. It

all looks so fast on the charts looking

back on it, but it's slow off now.

Hmm, I don't know. I still think Ethereum—

people are saying Ethereum will start

going up after Bitcoin cools off,

but it seems like the big move is over for

now. You probably have to be patient

for a month, maybe.

When did I last talk to Sunny?

I think it was like 2 days ago.

Friday. Oh shit, that's like

4 days ago. Friday,

Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

Do you think that's 4 days or 2 days?

Saturday, Sunday, today.

Maybe I should shoot a message off today.

I just don't really know what to say. I

just keep saying, how's your sickness?

Are you okay now?

Yeah, last time she got mad because she

said, how can you say you don't have— you

don't know what to say, but then you talk

for hours and hours on livestream?

Because I'm literally just saying the same

thing over and over again, like I have— my

stocks are going down and I have to pay

$1,000 to my credit card. That's all I'm

saying over and over again. It's not like

we're having deep conversations on this

stupid stream. Or then I'll start ranting

about platypus eggs.

Hey, Sunny, did you know the platypus is

one of only one mammal that can lay eggs?

This is because it is a monotreme, an

ancient type of mammal.

Should I just send that? There's things

I talk about on stream I wouldn't talk to

about anyone just because they're weird,

random topics that are—

they have no relevance to anything.

Apparently they're called monotremes

because they only have one hole, and the

one hole does everything— peeing, pooing,

and reproducing, and laying eggs like

a chicken.

It sounds to me like you don't have a

relationship if you can't talk about

things that interest you.

Uh, if we were together in person, I might

bring it up,

but it just seems kind of forced to like

bring it up on text. It's like writing a

letter. When people wrote letters

to each other, there's things they

wouldn't mention in the letter. But they

would mention it in real life.

I just don't know. I mean, the main things

I want to talk about today, probably that

South Korean plane crash,

my credit card being completely paid off.

And I

don't know, to be honest, I don't really

have many topics. I can't believe 180

people died. Did you see the

footage when the plane goes nose headfirst

into the brick wall, the concrete wall,

and then the thing just goes like that?

It just flattens and then explodes. Can

you imagine the people on that? Jeez,

that must look crazy. Everyone got

squished.

I really wonder why they put a concrete

wall there. They could have just put a

chain-link wall or a wooden fence or

Typical Koreans,

never challenging authority.

That's what you get when you're a

sheep. And then you got all the parents

and the family camping out at the airport.

What's the point? Your kid's probably

dead. I mean, your kid is dead. There's no

probably about it. They all died. What are

you doing camping at the airport? Just go

home so they can cry and scream

about it on TV, I guess.

These things only happen in Korea. Name

one other country that had hundreds dying

in a Halloween stampede and then hundreds

die in a ferry.

2 people survived. How did they survive?

Were they at the back of the plane or were

they really fat?

At least you're not dead like the plane

accident. Yeah, well I wouldn't have died.

I would have been one of the 2 survivors

because I'm not an idiot. I would have hid

behind some fat person and used them as a

meat shield. I would have the brains.

Everyone would be ducking down and

bracing. I'd be running to the back of the

Oh yeah, there was that plane crash on the

airport in, in Japan, wasn't there?

There was a plane sitting on the runway

and then it got run over. Buy a bigger

These plane things always seem to happen

in the beginning of the new year or near

the end of the current year. Never fly

near the end or the beginning of years.

Do you remember the beginning of 2024?

All these disasters started happening in

Japan and then everyone was like, why is

Japan having all the bad luck?

First it was that earthquake, and then

there was some plane crash.

Yeah, then that Azerbaijan plane got shot

down by Russia.

Unlucky. That's just how

it goes.

Oh, weren't they flying back from Bangkok

as well? That's crazy. Oh, it was at

Bangkok.

I wonder if Heathrow Airport has a

concrete wall at the end of the runway.

I will never fly anywhere that has an

airport with a concrete wall now.

Does Daniel Uber Eats only?

Yeah, before I got sick, I switched to

Uber Eats. I was making about £70 a day

working for about 5 or 6 hours.

Oh wow, thanks Matthew Stone.

What's your favorite position? Mine is

standing doggy. I predict yours is Mish

with legs up. I like Squatting frog

style missionary. There's not

only one way to do missionary, you know.

There's at least probably 6 ways of doing

missionary depending

on how you place your legs.

You can also be on your knees.

Really? I don't know how there's other

positions outside of missionary and doggy.

Those are basically the only two. Yeah,

you got the ones where the girl's on top,

but I never do that. I don't like it. I

don't like not being in control.

I've never liked it when the girl was on

top. It's just weird.

Seems like a depressing existence doing

Uber Eats. Uh, if the traffic's not too

bad, you get a nice flow going, it can be

quite relaxing.

Just go in there, pick up the McDonald's,

go back to the car, follow the route.

If you picked a good route, you'll just

have to take it to some housing area and

not like a built-up area or

like an industrial area. I always check

the map, zoom in on where the location is.

Before I accept the job.

So I don't want to go all the way and then

I'm spending like half an hour trying to

figure out parking and how to get there

and stuff like that. I just want a nice

quiet road. I pull up, get out,

knock on the door, get back in the car,

go back to the McDonald's.

But I really feel I'm not very motivated

to do it now. I've paid off the

credit card, so I'm not like in this

desperate rush for money. Maybe when

I'm feeling better and I'm bored, I might

just head out and do a couple hours.

2 crew members rescued were expected to

survive. I feel like they're going to

seaside themselves Because then they'll

feel guilty or something. It seems—

I mean, it would seem better if the 2

survivors were not the past— I mean, not

the plane crew, because then they would

get blamed, wouldn't they?

It's crazy how you could survive that.

The thing just exploded.

Have I been to Spain? I've been to the

Mallorca Islands when I was a kid. Does

that count?

Do you think they're going to quit their

jobs as being a plane crew, or are they

just going to get another job? In a

different plane.

When will I come back to Germany?

I don't know, if Sunny wants to go, we

I don't know how likely it is we're gonna

do this ski trip.

I do want to do it, it just seems like one

of those things that I find difficult

to picture actually happening.

2K for a ski trip.

Yeah, she said, what about next, next year

if we don't have the money?

Um,

I guess if I did a lot of Uber Eats, I

could get $2K before February.

I wouldn't say it's difficult.

Unless I get sick again. Getting sick is

like the biggest thing that destroys your

plans because you can't predict it

happening, and then when it happens,

you're knocked out from working for like 2

or 3 weeks.

And it seems to happen at least once a

year now.

It's really hard to predict how much

you're going to make.

This is the second time I've gotten sick

within 2 months. It's really

annoying. I can't do anything.

That's why

when you're fitting good.

You should just work as much as you can.

Yeah, at least I can stream, I guess.

That's one thing I can still do. I just

can't do it very well. I feel like I'm

more entertaining when I'm not sick,

got more energy and stuff like that.

I have more fun talking when it's easier

to talk. And right now it doesn't really

feel like it's easy to talk.

Dark already. It's only 4 PM.

I'm finding it bad. A bit nervous about

the new neighbors. I'm not sure when

they're coming. I just hope they're quiet.

If they're noisy, I'm gonna be so annoyed.

I just know, knowing my luck, they're

probably gonna be the noisiest Nigerians

you've ever heard.

I just hope they're quiet people and they

just stay inside and they shut up. They

don't get in my way when I'm trying to

drive out.

Why couldn't it just been like a nice

quiet family or couple? I just

have this feeling— I've got a bad feeling

about it.

I don't care if they're bad people. All I

care about is if they're quiet or not. I

just don't want to know that they exist.

Why couldn't they be white? The people

opposite are white and they're the worst

neighbors ever. There's like a gang of

white kids driving a quad bikes

up and down the road the other day.

Up the road in one of the biggest houses

on this street is an Indian family.

They're great. You never hear anything out

Really quiet.

I think being noisy should just be

illegal. 10% off the value of Lord Manor.

Well, that's, uh, lower inheritance tax.

That's just a good thing, isn't it?

What are your plans? Hmm,

I don't know. Let me think.

Hey, good to see you again. Haven't been

here since you have been back from Japan.

Hope all is well. Oh wow, thanks,

Elsia. Long time no see.

I remember you from the walking streams.

Yeah, it's been a while since Japan

happened. That was kind of a crazy time.

I want to rebuild

my stock portfolio back up to $10K. Oh my

God.

Noticed you got a job. Uh, I kind of

got banned though. Amazon Flex, they

banned me for bringing my mum. I can't

believe that's the reason I got banned.

I thought if I was gonna get banned, it

would be for something terrible, like I

really suck at the job, or I keep

delivering parcels to the wrong places,

or my car catches

on fire with everything inside of it and I

lose Amazon hundreds of pounds worth of

stock. But nope, the reason why I get

banned is simply because my mum carried

some parcels for me,

even though I did everything pretty good.

That was the one reason they used

to get rid of me.

I didn't stream it, I vlogged it.

If I didn't vlog it, they wouldn't have

found out. I wonder if

If I had just said, I get my mum to

deliver it for me, would that have got me

banned? Or would it not have counted if I

didn't show the actual thing?

I wonder how seriously they take just like

a clip of me saying something.

Oh wow, thanks, Onkad.

Yeah, well, if they've decided to keep me

banned, there's not much I can do about

it. I can't really think of any excuse

about why my mum was delivering. I said

that was just my mum, she wasn't

delivering on my behalf, she was just

giving me a hand. But they say it's

against the rules.

It's like some weird legal thing. Like if

something happens, they'll be legally

liable and they could be sued.

So to cover themselves, they just make it—

they're very strict about

how you're not allowed to do it. They

don't really care about anything apart

from protecting themselves against getting

sued. Like, maybe a customer could

complain and sue Amazon.

How come you make similar mistakes? I

don't think I've made a mistake. I don't

think I've done this exact mistake ever

Only the person under the contract is

insured.

Well, for driving, I don't

remember seeing any insurance apart from

the driving insurance.

Uh, what's that?

It's not fair, all these other people film

themselves at work. I've seen loads of POV

videos on YouTube where they just do like

a work day and they film it. I didn't

really think it was a problem. I mean, it

is a problem if you're doing things that

are against the rules. That you don't know

about, and then you film it and put it on

the internet.

The problem is I didn't know that what I

was doing was against the rules. I had no

idea. Yeah, I don't think

anyone has ever taken their mum to work.

That is like a weird thing I was doing.

Oh, thanks, Elsia.

Planning to go on the road again next year

to vlog? The Japan trip really showed the

potential of your channel, especially with

your style of vlog.

Um, me and Sunny have been discussing a

ski trip in February that I could vlog.

And maybe a trip to London when she comes

in a few weeks. I don't know if

we'd still do it though. I feel like she's

gonna say, we don't have to do it. She

says that a lot.

What does that mean? Like, do you not want

to do it? Or are you just saying we don't

have to do it, but really you want to do

it?

I find that we don't have to do it thing a

bit confusing. Like, I know we don't have

to do it, and if I didn't want to do it,

I would probably say I don't want to do

I think it's like a British thing.

I'd rather take her to the Taste of Bengal

down the road instead of going all the way

to London for yakiniku.

I don't know if yakiniku's worth going all

the way to London for and booking a hotel.

Yakiniku is nice and everything.

I'm not sure.

What's wrong with London?

I don't know, it's just every time I've

been, it's not been very good.

It doesn't hit you as like this big city.

It's not the same as like going to Tokyo

or Bangkok.

It doesn't have that big city feel.

But I would like to have yakiniku.

Oh wow, thanks Matthew Stone. Daniel,

I know I take the mick, but I do wish you

all the best for 2025. Also, can you

explain more about your frog position when

doing missionary? You just do the frog

legs, you know, the way they squat. You

should consider visiting Singapore. It's

expensive, but one of the best cities in

Asia, especially if you are single. No,

I'm not single now. I'm with Sunny.

I've been to Singapore before,

but it was just for one day. It was back

in like 2011. I think it

was 2012. I went with my family to

Vietnam, Malaysia, and we spent one day in

Singapore.

I met that Malaysian girl.

We went for sushi, and then after that,

we never spoke again. I think we

were both disappointed when we met up.

'Cause we had been chatting for years

before that, and then we met up and it was

just like over.

Finished.

Her face was massive. It was like a

pancake.

No, not from the guest house. I'm talking

about 2011 or 2012.

They do this thing where they, they grow

their hair long and it comes down the side

of their faces, so it gives off this

illusion that they have slim faces. But

then when they lift the hair up, it's like

a completely different person under there.

It is so weird. The same

thing happened with that Taiwanese girl.

I thought, oh, she looks quite nice in the

pictures, and then I go and meet her and

she's got her hair up and her cheekbones

are massive.

The most squarest face I've ever seen.

Did I pay my credit card debt?

Yep. Just got the money from my stock

account. I just sent it over to the credit

card. It'll probably take a day or two to

process. Until it will say zero.

Members credit card.

Oh, it's going to be so good. But now it

says available credit £7,150.

I could buy a new car.

Yeah, it's kind of nice. Paid off the

credit card. So that basically means I

paid off my Japan trip.

I think £2,500 of the credit card debt was

created in Japan from all the Apple Hotels

and bullet trains. And then

the rest of it was the car deposit,

£4,000. So basically what it means is

I paid off the car deposit and the Japan

trip, or half of the Japan trip.

That was what the credit card debt

represented.

Yeah, and I would go, go travel and spend

the credit card £7,000 again.

God, it took me— it took me over a year

to pay off that credit card.

The credit card debt was only £7,000. It

took me over a year to finally get rid of

it. If I blow the whole thing

again, it'll take me another whole year

paying it back.

It's such an annoying feeling.

I think I got the credit card in the

beginning of this year when I was still in

Thailand.

Oh well, just try and be careful now.

No more bullet trains and ryokans.

Fancy 8-course ryokan dinners? No thanks.

That was probably the worst dinner I've

ever had as well.

It was not worth it. I think it was, it

was about £290 for one night at the

ryokan, which only includes breakfast,

Japanese breakfast. By the way, the

breakfast sucked. It was literally just a

mountain of eggs, Japanese eggs,

like Japanese fried eggs, with a bit of

miso soup and some rice and a bit of

salmon. And like those random little

pickled vegetables they give for

breakfast. Worst breakfast ever. Got sick

of the stupid eggs. I don't

like Japanese tamagoyaki.

It's so weird tasting. It tastes sweet and

fishy. And then the dinner

was an extra which cost— I think it was

£88 per person. For that dinner.

It's the most expensive dinner I've ever

paid for. And there were 8 courses.

The first course was like pea soup. It

just— it was just green soup, salty and

tastes like peas. And then the other ones

were— one of them was like 2 pieces

of sushi. I think it was tuna. One was

deep-fried Some

kind of white meat. What was it?

I don't know, just like deep-fried fish

that tastes of nothing.

And one dish was just salad. It was like a

bit of carrot and a bit of broccoli and

some lettuce with some pumpkin sauce

in like a swoosh shape on the plate,

and it was just like eating a bunch of raw

vegetables that's been lightly seasoned.

And then one of them was just a bowl

of rice with bits of chicken in it with

miso soup. That was the last, the last

dish in case you were still hungry. One of

them was wagyu. You get about 4 pieces of

wagyu. It really

wasn't worth it. I thought, okay, maybe

the quantity isn't going to be the best,

but the quality is going to be amazing.

It just— I'd rather have a McDonald's.

I've had more pleasurable eating

experiences when I just got a German döner

kebab At least

that actually tastes good.

I guess you go for the experience. Taste

the local Japanese ingredients.

Not worth it. Why does it seem like the

more money you spend, the worse you get?

You just buy a cheap cheeseburger from

McDonald's, you'd probably have better

food. You think the more money you spend,

the better the thing is, but it's just not

from my experience.

Some of the best things I've got in life

are probably the cheapest, like my £20

Amazon furry bedsheets.

Have been great. Also my little

£6 laser pen. This thing, I've had more

fun out of this thing than I ever did out

of something like a Steam Deck.

Look at this thing. Ooh.

My credit card interest rate was 0%. I

didn't pay any interest. I've actually

still got 3 months left on the

introductory offer, but I just want to get

it over and done with, get rid of it.

When I watched earlier, your credit card

debt was still $2,000. I sold off some

That looks so weird. It looks like

someone's standing in the corridor.

I sold off some stocks, £2,300 worth,

and I just got the money and I just

transferred it into the credit card

One thing that I've taken from Japan and

incorporated into my own eating life after

leaving Japan— I do like a bowl of miso

soup. That's the one thing I give Japan

credit for. It is nice to have a bowl of

miso soup sometimes.

It does really cleanse the palate and it

really warms you up.

There's only one thing I've taken away

from Japan and added to my own life.

Do like some miso. It's got a very unique

flavor.

Am I saving up

for a new PC? Hmm, I don't think

so. I think I want to get another few

years of use out of my laptop before I get

a new computer.

I don't really want to buy anything, and

it feels great. I'm happy with my phones,

happy with my computer, happy with my car.

The mobile phone industry really shot

themselves in the foot by making their

phones waterproof and dustproof. So many

people broke their phones because of water

damage, and now people just don't break

their phones because of water damage.

That's why people are buying less phones

now. I've used this iPhone 12 mini for 5

years nearly, and it's covered in cracks

and everything, but it still works.

See if I can last 10 years using the same

phone. Maybe I won't

get a new iPhone until the iPhone 20. Or

maybe I just won't get the latest. You

don't have to get the latest one. You can

just get an iPhone 15. They're pretty

cheap now, and it only came out last year.

Or even an iPhone 14. Basically,

just never get the latest model. Or if

you really want the latest model, just

wait until next year until it's not the

latest anymore. 'Cause you always

end up paying a premium to have the latest

model, but it's

still the same phone a year later.

I'll probably get the Switch 2 if it comes

out next year just so I can review it.

Gotta buy stuff if it's trending and then

send it back.

Daniel bought the Galaxy phone a while

back. What, the Fold 6? A couple months

ago. Yeah, that phone would have not been

good for flex because it

would have been too heavy to stay in the

phone holder in the car.

It would have kept falling out.

And it would have just been too big and

bulky to carry with one hand whilst I'm

holding the parcels.

There was one point I had nearly 5 phones.

I had that LG G5 and then I had that— I

had the flip phone, remember the Samsung

Flip? And I had that cheap Android phone I

was using to get back on Tinder. That was

in 2022. I bought this £50 Android phone.

It was rubbish. It was so slow. Camera was

terrible.

I've got 2 phones now. I've got this

phone, Samsung S10 Plus, and my iPhone 12

Mini.

Yeah, the LG G5 was good. It had a

changeable battery, so you could open the

battery compartment and replace the

battery. So I had 2— I had 3 batteries.

So if my battery ran out, I'd just swap

out the batteries. And also it was the

first phone ever to have a wide-angle

lens. I can't believe it took Samsung and

iPhone such a long time before they

started putting wide angles into their

cameras. LG was the first phone where

you could have a wide-angle lens. I kept

saying I wish iPhone put a wide angle. I

remember getting the iPhone X and it still

didn't have a wide angle.

It does feel a bit boring when there's

nothing to buy though.

Hmm, if I could buy anything,

iPhone 16 does look kind of nice.

Look at the white version.

I'd get white iPhone 16 Plus.

What did I get for Christmas? I got a

Venus flytrap in a digital pot

for plants,

and I got some socks and a sponge and

some chocolate. I got this Box

of chocolates, and then I can put stuff

in the box when it's empty.

So amazing,

just what I wanted.

Oh.

What did I get my mom? I got her £80

luxury Christmas hamper,

but I don't think she actually ate

anything out of it.

I actually don't know where it went.

Maybe Dave Gibson's called it home.

I didn't know what else to get her. If I

buy her something practical, she gets mad.

At least she can eat it if I get her food.

She doesn't do anything.

Like, she— she

cooks, I guess. So it's hard to buy

her anything hobby-related. I don't even

think I would say she has any hobbies.

Yeah, maybe you could say gardening is a

Oh, I don't have to think about it until a

whole year, until next Christmas.

There is birthdays.

Why do there have to be so many days where

you gotta buy people stuff?

They just want us to buy stuff so they

make money. Father's Day, Mother's Day,

Valentine's Day. Oh my

God. It's never-ending.

And then you feel like you're a bad person

if you don't get a gift on one of these

days, because the marketing is so

good. It's now ingrained in our society

that you have to get a gift on these days,

otherwise you're a bad son, daughter,

boyfriend, girlfriend,

brother, sister, you're a bad person.

Everyone's like scared of being called

selfish or not a good person, so they all

go out and buy a little gift.

Is it streaming?

Oh yeah, my web page just shut itself down

for some reason.

We care about partying and being around

each other. Yeah, that's what I hoped

Christmas would be like.

Just to enjoy each other's company.

But I felt sick, so I couldn't really

enjoy anything.

And also, there was no room. Everyone went

and sat on the sofa for the last part of

Christmas Day. There's only room for 4

people on the sofa. So I ended up just

sitting behind everyone else at the table

on my own, and then I just felt like, why

am I just sitting here at the table on my

own? It's just so pointless with

everyone's backs turned to me. I just gave

up and went back upstairs and went to

sleep thinking,

so this is how Christmas ends. Kind of

sad.

That's how it is. They think I'm all—

everyone thinks I'm weird because I'm in

my room and don't go down and socialize,

but then when I do It's either everyone's

all about to leave or I just get ignored,

so what's the fucking point?

What's the market doing?

It's going back up.

Bitcoin, $92K.

Oh my God, BNGO is up 20%.

What? It's going to the moon.

People still watching this stock. I can't

believe it.

Highlights of Daniel's channel this year.

Hmm, I think

meeting Sunny was probably the most

interesting thing.

People couldn't believe that a girl

was actually going to show up, or they

thought I was going to get tricked, or

ghosted or catfished.

And then hanging out with Blood Bucket was

interesting as well.

Yeah, so there were some sad things like

The Tai arc coming to an end

was like an end of an era. It had to come

to an end though, it was so boring.

Got the car, got a job. I did quite a lot

of things this year, I think. 3 different

countries: Thailand, Japan, back to

the UK.

Oh yeah, met— no, Ice Poseidon was last

year, wasn't it? That was 2023.

When I was still into the whole life in

Thailand.

Yeah, this year's Japan trip was pretty

wild. Felt like quite a lot of things

happened. And the bar hopping stuff,

the bar hopping miniseries was quite

unexpected. Yeah, I thought it was quite

fun at first and then it just got a bit

repetitive and boring.

It was mainly Fun meeting other foreigners

in the bars. Meeting Japanese people was a

bit boring.

Go all the way to Japan to go meet

foreigners. It's kind of weird.

What was the beginning of this year like?

Christmas finished.

And then I kept obsessing over MacBooks

and laptops, didn't I?

Oh, I did that trip to Kanchanaburi to see

the death rail. I think that was one of

the last trips.

Yeah, the Christmas buffet.

I really wanted to have turkey. The food

was pretty good in that restaurant.

It's so silly. I forgot

what happened. Like, I, I bought the

MacBook on the internet and I went to pick

it up, but then I realized actually I like

the other gray color. So I refunded

the first one, not knowing that if I

refund it, I still have to pay the

currency conversion fee. So I paid like

£46 to buy it and refund it and not even

open it. And then I bought the other one,

which was different type of gray, and I

had to pay the £46 currency fee again.

So I paid £80 currency fees for

2 MacBooks and just kept one MacBook.

And then I got upset because it only had

8GB of RAM and I nearly got the 16GB RAM

version, and then I just ended up going

back to Windows.

Can you imagine if I kept the MacBook? I

wouldn't have been able to play any games—

Path of Exile, Elden Ring.

I've gotten so many views. Uh, what else?

Helldivers 2 got me so many views. If I

kept the MacBook, I just would have missed

out on all of this. I just don't know how

people exist with a MacBook and no Windows

computers. How'd you do it?

You wouldn't be able to play any of the

latest games. You can only play some

5-year-old game that had been recently

ported to Apple.

No Rainbow Six.

Yeah, and I got mad because Faster's plans

to go to America. Whilst I still

had 2 months left on my Thai visa, which I

ended up wasting.

People don't buy a MacBook for gaming.

Yeah, but how do you not do any gaming?

I just can't exist without doing at least

a bit of gaming.

I guess you could have a MacBook and then

just get a PlayStation for gaming.

I did do a bit of gaming on it. I played

Warhammer Total War 2, and it just made

me want a Windows laptop again so I could

play other games.

If you just sit around watching YouTube,

I guess MacBook's pretty good. You might

as well just get an iPad.

I wonder if 2025 is going to be as varied

as this year has been. I kind

of hope it's not. This year's been so

tiring, going to all these different

countries, trying to set up a life in

Japan just for 3 months.

I don't know.
