day 3 in Manchester - cooking Some PORK BELLY

Hello, welcome to Manchester.

Just need to fix my hair because I didn't

have a shower.

Why is it so zoomed in?

That's better.

Okay, see if Twitch streams

well. I changed the stream settings to

720p since

the Wi-Fi is pretty good here.

How's the quality?

Wow, I'm so hungry recently from all this

walking, but it's

been a bit difficult exercising without

dumbbells. So I went back to my push-up

routine, trying to do 100 push-ups every

day. I've done 60 today. I did about 120

yesterday. I could go down to

the gym downstairs, but what

if there's people there?

And I usually like working out in front of

the mirror so I can see my muscles

bulging. I can't do that down there.

There's no mirror. They have weights. I

saw the gym. They've got treadmills and

stuff, but I want to exercise in my home

alone. So I thought about

buying a dumbbell. I'm not sure where I

could buy one, but then I'd have to carry

the dumbbell around with me. It's kind of

stupid. Trying to carry around a 10 kg

dumbbell. 10 kg is pretty uncomfortable

to walk around with.

Oh, my body is still aching. It's my 3rd

day in Manchester. My legs are killing me.

Yesterday didn't really help because

yesterday I met a viewer and then we

walked around all over the place.

Oh, my legs. I don't know why my legs are

so unfit here. It hurts here now on

my thighs. I thought my legs were in good

shape because I was playing football every

day in the garden. I don't

know why just walking makes this part hurt

I guess my legs are pretty weak.

I need more muscle, so I

guess it's good it hurts. It means it's

building more muscle.

Was the viewer a woman? Yeah, she's a

21-year-old woman,

but she asked not to be filmed. So I

respected her wishes.

And then I'm meeting another viewer

hopefully next week. And then another

viewer also messaged me saying she's near

Manchester. See, I told you moving, just

moving location open opportunities to

women. It's just funny, when I was at home

no one messaged me, and then all I had to

do was change my location, then all of a

sudden, so, hey Daniel, I'm in Manchester

too. Do you want to meet up? Works every

Yeah, it's weird.

It's not like Harrietsham is that far

away, but when I'm just sitting around at

home I guess it gives off this impression

that I'm just not doing anything.

Yeah, if I went to America, I'd definitely

get loads of people messaging me, but I

don't really want to go to America.

Uh, we just walked around the city center.

She showed me around, and then we went to

Chinese supermarket, and I got some pork

belly. Well, I got pork belly at Aldi,

but I got kimchi and Korean stuff at

Wing Yip. They had a massive Wing Yip.

Wing Yip is like a big Asian supermarket.

I spent £16, but I'm

so tired after yesterday. We walked for

hours and hours. I got

tofu. I'm gonna make— I don't know what

to make actually. I was gonna make kimchi

stew, but I don't know, maybe I'll do like

a stir-fry. So I got fried tofu,

We got British,

British pork belly. Look at that fat.

Can we expect more cooking with Daniel?

Yeah, I'm gonna do it live and then I'm

gonna edit the live down to like a cooking

segment. That's gonna be my new plan. I'm

just— oh, I got beer as well. My new plan

is I'm gonna Twitch stream my cooking and

then download the stream, edit the stream

down to like 8 to 10 minutes, put that

onto Chef Daniel How to Make Korean blah

blah blah whatever, and then just edit

that down even more down to like 2 minutes

for the main channel. So it's

like triple dipping. It's like using the

same footage 3 times in 3 different ways.

What do you think about that for

efficiency? Has anything

exciting happened in Manchester so far?

Not really.

No sex yet. Oh, I got this ripoff. Look at

this. Look how they're ripping off the Big

Mac. The box looks like a Big Mac

box, and even the text and the, the

branding looks like Big Mac, but it says

Big Stack. And look, it's even like a Big

Mac. It's got the bread in the middle.

How do they not get sued by McDonald's?

This would be funny for a Chef Daniel

video. Title could be Ripoff McDonald's.

Is it any good? I think it was only about

a pound.

Yeah, that's funny. What else did I get?

Oh, I got miso soup, 3 sachets.

Mellow Yellow. Gonna make a Korean meal

today.

Too much work editing? Well, I don't have

much to do every day anyway. I got Yakult

because Dr. K, he said if you have an

irritable personality, try yogurt.

Yakult is basically yogurt, and he said

eat yogurt because it has friendly

bacteria for

your gut. So maybe I want to see if that

makes me less irritable. Basically, I want

to become less annoyed at everything. I

think life would be more enjoyable if I

wasn't annoyed all the time. There was

a big rainstorm earlier. It was pretty

epic. I filmed some footage.

This view is so nice to see the sky. Look

at the clouds forming.

What else do

I need to do? Oh yeah, I was gonna buy

Those washing capsules for the washing

machine. I forgot. Need to do laundry.

Need to do laundry at one point, at some

point.

And I'm still not sure about the

apartment.

I don't think the rent is— I mean, I don't

think bills are included in the rent. So

it says ¥800 a month. There's probably

going to be rent and stuff and then

internet stuff on top, which would be like

an extra £100. So it'll be like £900 a

month plus deposit. So I'm gonna have to

pay £2,000 even if I could rent it

upfront. And then I don't even know if I'd

want to stay here for like a year, which

is probably how long the contract is. So

if I don't stay for a year, that means I

won't get the deposit back.

That means if I only stayed, let's say, 3

months, it would be like £1,000

plus the deposit. I don't really know if

I'd be saving that much compared to just

booking a hotel. You would save money.

It's kind of like a stock, like the longer

you're in it, the more you save.

The longer you're in the apartment, the

more you save over the long term. So if it

was £900 rent and then I got bored after 3

months and then I don't get the deposit

back, that's like

£1,200 a month. Uh, still way

cheaper than booking this kind of hotel

That's if they rent to me. I saw some

apartment advertisements,

they said you have to make 20K a year and

you need full-time job to apply, or you

can pay upfront 6 months rent in advance

or have a guarantor. So it seems like they

might be flexible, depends on the, the

real estate agent. Maybe they can be

flexible if I say, what if I paid you 6

months' rent all at once? Then they might

not really worry about stuff like, oh, he

doesn't have a proper job. And then that's

also kind of nice, being able to just pay

all the rent up front, because then you

don't have to worry every month about

thinking, oh, I have to make XXX money to

pay rent this month because I've already

I think I'd rather pay upfront really than

having to worry about paying each month.

That's just a bit frustrating.

Depends what I want to do.

This other girl I want to meet, she has

her own place, so if I like her, maybe I

could live with her for free.

I think I'll meet the Manchester girl

first and then see if we click.

And then decide if I want to try

and live with her or try and get my own

place, or if I still even

want to stay in Manchester. I don't know,

even if we don't click, I probably

would still stay in Manchester because I

don't know where else to go.

It'd be kind of stupid to go back home,

wouldn't it?

If I live with the girl, don't have to pay

half the rent. I wouldn't mind paying all

the rent. Her rent is just insanely cheap.

Her rent's like 500 a month.

I'd be happy to pay all her rent if

I get to stay there too.

Maybe on Monday. I think on Monday I'm

gonna phone the estate agent and then ask

them about this place. Just to find out.

Because I quite like this place. I

wouldn't mind actually living here if it

was only $800 or $900 a month. That'd be

so easy to pay for. It's like my channel

at the moment is not doing well,

but it still makes about

$800 a month. All I have to do is like

pump out a few extra videos and do more

streaming. Try and do more trending

topics, and I could easily just from my

dead channel pay for the rent in this

place. And this place is really nice. I

really like it.

I love the view. I love the quietness. I

love the furniture.

Yeah, I really like this apartment. It's

great. I think it's probably the best

apartment I lived in.

Japanese apartment number 2 me and Chihiro

got was probably better, but I was only

there for like 2 weeks before my dad died.

Yesterday was a bit noisy though, bloody

football fans going mental.

Because England won some game against

a country and everyone was just going

nuts. Football fans

are so noisy. And I guess Manchester is

not the best place to be if you're not

into football. Manchester is like the

football center of football

fans in the whole country. They're so

loud. I don't get it. So all the other

sports People just watch the sport and

they're like, oh yes, we won, great. But

when football fans, they just love

shouting for some reason and singing that

football's coming home all the time.

It's like they're more into singing than

actual— the actual sport. Football fan,

being a football fan is more about being

loud and singing and chanting. Than

actually being into the game. It seems

like it's

a bit annoying, but I think we'll be fine

once this whole football period is over.

Just go to karaoke if you want to sing.

It was weird. We went to the center of

Manchester and then there would be just

packs of guys walking about just

shouting, like football chant shouting.

It's, it's just so weird.

It just seems so pointless and

unnecessary.

I wonder if other countries do this or if

it's just English people.

Maybe it's the same in London as well. It

probably is. I've just never been in a

city in England. During peak football

period.

Anyway, what was I going to do? Oh yeah,

cooking.

Do do do do do do do do do. I want

to do more Bitcoin crypto videos because

they do really well. They do better than

my regular content, and they also pay much

better.

What keywords can I use? I think

all I need is Bitcoin because the top

search results. Were 30% Bitcoin and then

10% Bitcoin crypto crash.

I tried using the Google Trends keyword

comparison thing. I typed in Bitcoin,

Ethereum, and then Bitcoin was way higher

than anything else.

If Bitcoin goes up really high, I'll do a

why I regret selling all my Bitcoin. I

think that could do not bad.

Not really that happy about my new video's

results. I only got an eight out of ten.

Look, moving out my parents' house. My

Bitcoin video got 3 out of 10.

I think people just don't really care

about my personal life anymore. They don't

care about it as much as they used to. So

if I made a video like that 2 years ago,

then I'd get like 40k views and they'd all

be excited. Oh, Daniel's in a new place.

I really lost a lot of my audience.

Should have streamed on YouTube. I don't

really want to spam too many streams. I

already did a stream on YouTube 2 days

ago. I want to give them some time to

catch up before I upload more streams.

Otherwise it's just like too spammy. I

don't want to spam out like 5 livestreams

that are 6 hours long every day.

So yeah, I don't really know what to do

for like Manchester content. I probably

won't make any Manchester content.

What can I do? I know the only thing

that's gonna work would be something like

meeting the Manchester girl, my thoughts

on the Manchester girl, why I moved, why I

really moved to Manchester. This is

the same old nonsense, isn't it? Show us

around Manchester. That's not gonna get

views. No one cares. I could do like

Manchester city tour video and it'll get

5K views. I'd get more views clipping

my toenails in my bathroom.

I just don't have that kind of audience.

I'm not gonna go to like a museum and then

vlog it. That's just not what I'm

comfortable with.

I'm no Bold and Bankrupt, unfortunately.

If you, you want to see it, just Google

it. Go on Google Street Maps, you get a

better tour than what I could provide you

with. My film work just sucks because I

get really nervous about people looking at

me. I didn't even film

anything yesterday because I felt like I

couldn't be bothered. It's just roads and

buildings and people. It's nothing

interesting.

It's not like Japan where people are

obsessed with, oh, I really care about

what Japan looks like. I don't think

people care what Manchester looks like.

Yeah, what if I do Google Trends? I type

in Manchester and I type in Tokyo. Let's

Tokyo compared to Manchester.

Wait,

what? Why is the red line Manchester? Why

is the blue line Tokyo? Okay, that did not

match up with anything I just said.

How is it way more interest— oh, I've put

a search in United Kingdom, that's why.

Worldwide. What? Still Manchester

has more search results. Why?

Blue line is Tokyo.

Okay, try Japan versus Manchester.

Okay, that doesn't make any sense. Why is

Manchester going up and down like this?

Because the football team. Hmm,

that's true. What about living in

Manchester?

Okay, now the thing crashed.

Okay, that's more like it. See, red line

is Manchester. It's just dead. That's

Tokyo, Japan. Okay, what if I put

moving to Manchester?

Or what if I put Manchester City?

Oh, that's a football club as well, isn't

it?

Ah, the stupid website.

Yeah, there's way more interest in Japan.

Look at the interest in Japan compared to

Manchester.

I just don't think it's— I don't think

there's any point trying to make content

about Manchester. It's just no one,

no one would care. But anyway,

I didn't come to Manchester to make

Manchester content. I came here to run

away from my nagging mum and to get

cereal.

Okay, how do I make this?

Hmm. Oh, Monday is Independence Day.

Means stock market's not open. Got another

day of boredom. Hate these long holidays.

People don't care about Manchester. They

care about what you do there. Yeah, I

guess so. But they only care about girls,

don't they?

I could say I got a job in Manchester.

No, I've already done the fake job stuff

too much.

They only care if I meet a new girl and

then I move in with her and then she

appears. That's the only thing they care

about. So I'm just gonna try

and find something else to talk about,

like Bitcoin or crypto. I got 21K views

talking about crypto, so it seems like

that's the way to go.

Buy a house? I don't— if I had the money

to buy a house, I wouldn't be worrying

about YouTube. Can't afford it.

I don't want to buy a house.

Hmm,

no, I don't want to buy a house. It's

stupid. Because then I'm stuck with a

house and then I've got no money left.

You know what I kept thinking? You see all

these businesses complaining about how

their businesses are failing because of

lockdowns. For example, you get some

bakery owner or no, some kind of

restaurant owner, and then they're saying,

we didn't make any money this year because

of lockdowns. That's kind of risky, isn't

it, if you have a business that's

in one industry, because then something

like the lockdown happens that really

affects your industry, and then your

income is just wrecked. It's like you have

no diversity. You've put all your money

and time into your business, into one

industry. At least when you have stocks

and a diversified portfolio, you can put

20% in airlines and 20% in crypto and

20% in oil, you can

spread it out. But if you spend all your

money to open a shop and then something

like lockdowns happen, even all those

travel agencies getting wrecked as well,

can't afford rent, can't pay staff because

travel's all shut down now. That'll be so

scary investing your life savings to open

and run a business, and then something

like COVID can come along and just destroy

your business, and then you'd have to take

out bank loans, or you might have to shut

it down. That's why I'd never open a

shop or some kind of physical business.

That just seems so risky.

It's like putting all your money into

Macy's stock.

Yeah, I guess it's not a very common

event. Didn't you

and Chira once open a laundromat? Did we?

That was like one of my ideas. I was

saying, oh, I wish I could get vending

machines that collect money and then coin

laundry. That would have been cool. A lot

of Japanese business people do that.

They'll buy a parking lot and then they'll

install the parking stuff, and then they

just get passive income from people

parking their cars there.

That's a pretty cool idea. Get a couple

vending machines, coin laundry,

self-automated parking lots. I wonder

how much it costs to just get like a

parking lot where 10 cars can park.

Can you make video on things you hate in

Manchester? Don't really hate anything

yet.

Smells like weed everywhere as well, a bit

like Netherlands. I didn't expect there to

be so much weed. I thought weed was

illegal in England, but we went around

these like shady— not shady, but like

grungy streets where the hip

cafes are, and it all smells like weed

There's a lot of students in Manchester.

Yeah, we went to Chinatown. There are a

lot of Chinese girls walking about. It's

funny, they all,

they all kind of gather and live in

Chinatown. Why come? What's the

point of coming to England from China and

then you just live in Chinatown. Why don't

you just stay in China then? Doesn't make

any sense. Come all the way to a different

country just so you can live in an area

that's like a cheap imitation of your own

country. Chinatown wasn't impressive. It

was just like 2 blocks on a street and a

couple Chinese restaurants and a Japanese

restaurant. It's not like the London

one, and they've got the big Chinese Gate

Wasn't really impressed.

Did you creep on the Chinese girls? The

Chinese girls are pretty cute. Short,

slim, long black hair, my favorite.

Voilà.

I wonder if they have English Town. I know

they have that Dutch Town in Japan. It was

on Chris Broad's video. It was to

celebrate this special connection with

Netherlands when the Dutch were the only

ones allowed to trade with Japan hundreds

of years ago. They made like this fake

European town in some place in Japan.

I remember my Korean girlfriend went there

back in 2010 and they didn't invite me.

She just went with her friend and then

while she was gone there, I started having

an affair with that other Korean girl. It

was so bad. Remember 2010, the guest

house? I went to Osaka to meet a Japanese

girl that I met on Japan Cupid. And I

ended up having an affair with that

35-year-old Korean woman. And then when

she went on like a vacation, I ended up

having an affair with a 20-year-old Korean

girl. That was really fun though.

I had a huge crush on her. We would like

walk around in the evening and chase each

other and play wrestle. And then we went

up to the rooftop on the guest house and

we kissed.

Ah, I should have tried to escalate

things, but nothing happened.

The Korean girlfriend's probably nearly 50

now. She was 15 years old, so she must be

48. Damn,

damn boy, 50 years old.

I'm nearly the age she was when she met

me. So she was 35 when I

met her. I'm 32 now. Oh no, I'm getting

old. I can't believe

I'm in my 30s. I can't believe how quickly

life is going by. One minute you're 16

playing World of Warcraft, and then you're

20 studying Japanese, and then you're 25

and you don't know what you do. Know what

to do with your life. And then you're 30

and you still don't know what to do. Soon

I'll be 40 and I'll be like, I can't

believe I used to be 32. And then I'll be

dead. Great.

Okay, so how do I cook this? I don't have

any cooking oil,

but I think the fat from the pork belly

That should render.

Stupid tripod keeps moving.

This fried tofu is so good.

I think you could just eat it like this

because it's already fried.

Okay, I'm getting hungry. It's already 7.

It's been an hour and I didn't even start.

No, it's been 35 minutes. Uh, I got

enoki, which is that weird Japanese

mushroom. Oh look, they cut the dirt off

at the bottom. I hate it when you buy it

in Japan, you have to cut the dirt off

yourself.

Okay, to make perfect kimchi pork

belly stew, first of all,

get the British pork belly.

Wow, look at all that pork. That would

give me some protein, wouldn't it?

Then get your scissors.

Wait, should I cut them first? Yeah, I

think I should.

That's a better angle. Okay, get your

scissors.

I can't find a cooking board, so I need to

use these.

This last bit's a bit tricky.

It's hurting

my finger. There must be a cooking board

somewhere. Let me look.

Now my hand's covered in pork fat.

That's just instructions.

Why don't they give a cooking— I mean, a

cutting board?

Well, I guess I have to do it this way.

Oh shit, I didn't notice I was getting

donations.

I get $1. You should set

the donation goal to something funny. I

didn't realize Streamlabs was even on

because the logo is so grayed out. Yeah,

I, I removed the donation goal cuz I'm not

going to London, and then I don't know

what to change it to. Sorry, I didn't

realize I got a dono.

I think I scared everyone with the alert

noise.

Sorry.

What am I doing for Independence Day?

What should I do? Happy Independence

Day livestream.

You only won because the French helped

you. I saw it in that movie with

Mel Gibson.

Best movie ever, The Patriot.

I learn all my history from Hollywood

Oh,

I'm scratching my finger.

So where can I get a dumbbell?

I think maybe JD Sports or Sports Direct

might sell them, but I need 10 kgs, not 1

or 5 kg.

I wouldn't mind going to a Korean barbecue

restaurant. I like the Korean barbecue

restaurants because you have something to

fiddle with. I find it really awkward when

you go to a restaurant. You've got nothing

to do whilst you're waiting for the food,

and when the food comes, you're just

eating. Korean barbecue is great because

you can kind of break the awkwardness with

doing the cooking on the table. You've got

something to do.

Maybe this is too much pork. I could cook

it all at once and then have it tomorrow.

Hmm, I think that's enough.

I'll save the rest for next time.

So we need to cook this first, don't we?

Because, um,

the mushrooms won't take long to cook.

Put your pork on the fryer.

How do I turn this light on?

Hmm, put some

water, but then it would be all boiled.

Where's spatula?

Doesn't it seem like a bad idea to have a

metal spatula? Won't it scratch the pan?

The spatula is a bit thick for my

appendage.

Took me ages to figure out how to turn

this on.

Yesterday. I forgot how to do it. Oh,

there we go.

It's heating up.

And then if I got my own apartment that

was unfurnished, I'd have to buy

everything. I'd have to buy cooking stuff,

pans, vacuum cleaner. I'd have

to buy so much stuff. And then I'd just

have to leave it here. I'm not gonna carry

all that stuff with me, would I? Imagine I

rented an unfurnished, unfurnished

apartment. There's so many things you

have to buy just for daily living. All of

this— knives, kettle,

vacuum, a bin.

And then you have to set up internet and

then manage everything. It's so much

easier just to book a hotel. That's why

It's sticking to the pan.

I thought

the fat would melt.

Heat's too high.

Okay, I will turn it down to 6.

Oh, I should have oven roasted it so it'd

This is like my ritual, isn't it? Pork

belly. Every time I go to a new apartment,

I cook pork belly. Same as Rotterdam.

It's the best part of pork.

This would be a nightmare to clean. Uh, I

guess I'll soak it. Boil the kettle,

soak it in water.

Oh no, it's going brown.

Why is the fat not melting like I expected

This is not going to plan, and then this

is going very dark.

Add water, but then it'll be your soup.

Talking.

That's gonna be like boiled.

Hmm, maybe I'll just make like a soup

then. Whatever.

Add the mushroom.

Should I wash it? Maybe.

This reminds me when I was in Korea.

Now we need some kimchi.

Oh, smells good.

Why'd they put this packet

No, I don't want all of it. Oh, fine.

Beautiful.

For. Should I turn the heat up?

Doesn't seem like it's very hot.

It's kimchi stew, famous Korean

food.

What do you think? Looking good?

Oh, I should have used this.

They've got this big pot thing.

Pork still

raw.

Is the rice cooking? I don't have any

rice. Can't be bothered.

Add more water. Are you sure?

It's got quite a lot of water already.

Wow, it's reminding me when I was in

Korea. Okay,

I'll put a bit more water.

That's eye

view.

I think the kimchi alone should give it

enough seasoning and salt. You don't need

to add anything else really.

Looks gross? Well, you just insulted all

of Korea. They will be very, very

offended. Look, I untangled

my mic wire. It took ages.

Add fuel. That's disgusting. What if I

coated the remaining pork in the fuel

powder and then cooked it in the oven?

It'll be crispy, crispy and delicious.

Need a bowl. Everything's square in this

place. Look,

all of the plates are square, the bowls

are square, even the cups are square.

Do I need a bowl or plates? The bowl's

pretty small.

Oh, I forgot my miso soup.

Mustn't forget miso.

Look at

that miso paste.

Oh, I should have put the tofu in the

miso. So stupid.

Is the Manchester girl Asian? I don't

think so. I think she's white,

but she kind of has Asian bone structure.

Oh no, fucking no. I hate

it when the next apartment door closes,

my door shakes, so it feels like my

door's being opened. Makes me jump

every time because

every— it's just really quiet all day and

then all of a sudden you go poof and the

whole place shakes. I can't hear the

footsteps so I don't know that someone's

Why do I sound depressed? I sound the

same as I always sound, don't I?

I'm not really depressed, I'm just a bit

frustrated, I guess, with my YouTube

channel,

like I always am.

I feel a bit bored as well, so I can't do

any stock trading.

I don't know,

I just don't really feel very excited

I should have just got sausages, hot dog

sausages. That'd be way easier.

The thing is, living alone and living

with— living at home, it's not really that

different because I don't really

talk to my family anyway. It just feels

like I was living alone at home anyway.

The only difference was sometimes my mum

made dinner and then she did the laundry,

but it's not hard to do laundry. You just

put it into the washing machine. Look.

You just put it in there and then you turn

it on and then you let it wash and then

you hang it up. It's not difficult.

People always say like, oh, does he do his

own? He doesn't even do his own laundry.

Oh, I can't, I'm so stupid, I don't know

how to do my own laundry, need my mummy to

do it. I don't need anyone

to do anything for me. I know how to look

after myself.

I feel like people seem to think that I

can't look after myself, like I need help,

I need my mom, or I need Chihiro. Why do

they think that?

I think, I think I am pretty capable. I'm

pretty good at looking after myself. I

know how to get food. And get myself a

place to live.

But I just— my whole life I felt like

people don't think I can look

after myself. It's just annoying.

Haha,

got you.

Ban. Goodbye,

fuckface.

I think it's

too thick.

I wonder if

it's ready yet.

No, I just banned that guy who keeps

insulting me

in the

chat.

Now there's these big fat lumps of fat on

the pork that are just like boiled and not

rendered. I was supposed to render

down the fat, but then it started burning

on the pan. Stupid nonstick pan.

I'm just worried the pork might be pink

and then I'll get food poisoning.

I might have to take out some of the pork.

Because some of the chunks are just pure

I should have roasted it, made it crispy.

Would I say the iPad Pro is a good buy?

Yeah, it's really good. It's great,

but it's basically just like a big phone.

It's not really much of a step up from

a phone. If you need desktop capabilities,

then you're still gonna struggle.

Lucky for me, I don't need it apart from

games. The only thing I miss is having PC

gaming access. That's the only reason

I'd get a laptop, because I just play

Chivalry. But now I don't have any games

to play. I don't know what to do.

Okay, I think it's done.

I don't

really know what game to make— I mean, to

play. Chris Broad made a video about

Osaka. Really? He came to Osaka and he

didn't even hit me up. What a slimy

rotter.

No, he didn't. His last one was the

abandoned island. I get really tired of

the whole Natsuki, Chris, and Joey

dynamic. It's always the same, like

Natsuki says some weird thing in English

and then Chris just repeats what he says

and then Joey repeats what he says and

then they chuckle. They just parrot what

they say, it's silly. Natsuki will be

like, volcano dancing, and then Chris will

be like, volcano dancing, hmm.

Yeah, you didn't have to repeat what he

said. I heard it. So that's a form of

humor. The comedy is just parroting back

what Natsuki says, and it just seems like

2 Western guys babysitting this autistic

Japanese man. This is weird. He seems

really autistic when he speaks in English,

but then he seems like a normal Japanese

person when he speaks in Japanese. So

they're babysitting this massive baby

baby. I got this really weird feeling from

it.

I get he's— I, I get the thing. He's like

the comedic character, comedy sidekick.

They just bring him along cuz he says

random funny stuff in English.

He doesn't really add anything to the

content though. You know, he's not like

that other Japanese guy, that Ryo Taro—

Rotoro. At least he would give like

insightful information about Japan and add

value to the video. Natsuki just doesn't

really do anything. He's just there for

you to laugh at him, I guess. He's like

the Mr. Bean of the trio.

And then Joey just seems like a weird

addition as well. He doesn't really do

anything either. He just seems like he's

tagging along.

I don't know, it's just I find the group

dynamic a bit strange. Like, it's really

forced, right? It's obviously just done

for the content.

When Chris was with that Connor guy, it

was a bit better because they were like

bouncing off each other. They had similar

kind of humor.

And then they went into that cave, and

then there's that massive centipede. That

was disgusting. That was the only

interesting part of the video. I have

never seen a a massive huge rat-sized

centipede like that before. Apparently

it's called the Japanese house centipede.

It was huge, like a huge spider with 50

Some of the shots look like they have a

cameraman. Yeah, it's that Norm guy. He

has a channel called Tokyo Lens. He's like

a big camera geek.

Okay, first meal.

Voilà, kimchi stew.

This plate weighs a ton. I could just use

this as a dumbbell.

Delicious. I think I preferred Chris's

videos. Before he started collabing with

all these other YouTubers and before he

did all these silly random challenges.

Too much fluff now in his videos.

And how come he never collabs with smaller

J-vloggers? He always collabs with

these huge million-sub channels.

Got to protect his

brand. Look at this perfect

Japanese and Korean meal.

Miso soup.

Can you imagine Chris Broad collabing with

Nobita? I feel like that would never

Nobita's topics are too dark. I don't

know, some, some of Chris's topics are

dark, like the Fukushima stuff.

And then sometimes he mentions the atomic

That other guy's blowing up too, that Dark

Side of Japan channel. He got over a

million views for his Japanese girl

outsider love hotel thing.

Yeah, a lot of these new newcomers Blowing

up, overtaking me. Bloody Asagi's life.

Got 110K subs too now.

I think I gained 500 subs this month.

Be nice if I can get to 110K.

I'm 1,200 subs away from 110K.

Try this pork.

Oh, I hate when the plate wobbles like

Doesn't it look delicious?

Would I stream snipe Ice Poseidon again?

No. He looks really depressed now. His

girl, his He broke up with his girlfriend

as well, and then he lost like $10,000 in

his last livestream gambling. Why does he

do those gambling livestreams? He loses

like $5,000, $10,000 every time.

Tastes okay. It's not great. It just

tastes like kimchi and boiled pork.

I should have got sausage meat.

Why aren't I eating Huel? I had Huel for

You're lucky I'm not— I don't film my face

when I'm eating. I just squirted beer out.

I put too much beer in my mouth.

And I bit into that tofu and it just like

oozed out kimchi juice. I would be the

most disgusting mukbanger.

It's hard to eat this because I

need to bring this over to my mouth, but

then it drips and I can't bring the plate

And the tofu is really hard to eat because

it soaked up all the water like a sponge.

I think that's just a block of fat.

Oh, my spoon fell in the bowl.

This bowl sucks. Why is it so square?

Ow, it's hot.

At least the beer tastes good.

Do you

think my meal looks good?

How much did the meal cost? Um, I spent

but I

haven't I only used half of it.

This place is so noisy.

It kind

It just tastes like kimchi, mushrooms,

and pork.

I might just get Uber Eats next time.

It just tastes like the things I put into

it. I don't get it.

Would you eat my cooking?

Imagine if I was your dad and I was doing

your cooking.

Oh, that mushroom tastes weird.

Tastes like what my cum smells like. You

know when you cum and you wipe it out with

tissues and then you let it dry overnight?

Tastes like that. What the hell?

Ah,

this is not the best meal

I ever had.

Humanity is a disgusting species.

Calm down, Indian woman.

Oh,

this does

not taste good. The pork tastes like

rubber. It's so chewy.

I think you need thinly sliced pork like

they have in Japan, not big chunks

of pork. Oh, the fat taste is horrible.

It just tastes like fat, pork fat.

Oh, I'm gonna be sick.

Don't waste food,

just chug it down.

I need calories to repair my muscles.

I can make

2 videos from this. How to make perfect

Korean kimchi stew, and then followed by

Korean kimchi mukbang.

Delicious.

Excuse me.

I should get

a spoon.

How would you make perfect kimchi? You're

not even Korean.

I had a Korean girlfriend, I'll have you

know. I learned everything from her.

Boiled pork is not nice. Thank God I

didn't cook all the pork. I'm gonna roast—

oven roast the pork next time.

It's pork belly, but I boiled it.

This was not the delicious meal I

envisioned.

Oh, there's still

more of it in the pan.

I don't want it. I don't

want it.

I hate cooking.

I used to really like cooking for some

reason. I used to be really into it.

I even wanted to work in a kitchen back in

2014. I was

trying to find kitchen jobs in Japan.

They all rejected me. Remember I went to

that in 2000 and—

wait, I think there was a time when I went

to Japan and I was trying to find a job

without a visa, and I actually went to a

few interviews and I pretended to be on

the working holiday visa.

I feel like I forgot this. I think I only

went to 1 or 2 interviews,

but the plan didn't work because they

wanted proof of the visa, so I just

ghosted them.

But I went to that one Japanese restaurant

to try and get a job, and he was really

rude to me. He was like, why would I— why

should I employ you? When you don't have

any cooking skills, and then I need

someone to train you up.

And I said, "But the advertisement said no

experience required." He said, "No, that

was for the hall staff." And I said, "Can

I apply for the hall staff job then?" He

said, "No." He just said, "No." He

said, "ダメだよ," which is like a really rude

way. It's not really rude,

but you know, it's not very nice. It's

And then he kept mocking my Japanese level

because on my CV I put level 2, and he was

like, so level 2 is not that great, is it?

Better than yours. Bet you can't even get

level 1, idiot.

Because they have a really stupid way of

of asking if you can cook. So in English

you would just say, do you have any

cooking experience? But in Japanese, to

translate it literally, they ask you if

you can use a knife. They'll say, can— do

you know how to use a knife? So obviously

I would say yes because I know how to use

a knife, but at the time I didn't realize

they're asking you if you know how to

cook. So when

I phoned them up and they asked me if I

know how to use a knife, I always said

yes. So they probably thought I knew how—

I knew I had cooking experience.

And then I went to the interview and I

said, no, I've never worked doing cooking

before. And then the

old guy was like, You need to know how to

cook to work here.

But even if I knew how to cook,

I would still have to learn the menu,

wouldn't I? I would have to learn how to

make the menu. So Does

it really matter that I can

make this fabulous Korean dish?

I should have just bought Spam. I feel

like the pork belly ruined the whole thing

because everything else is fine. The

kimchi is fine, mushrooms are fine.

Yeah, that was one of my dreams when I was

younger. Oh, it's a cum taste

sauce. The cum tasting mushroom tastes

weird.

Oh, that mushroom is horrible.

My dream used to be I wanted to do

something related to cooking.

I think I gave up on that dream around

2016.

2016, I started getting into the idea of

making YouTube videos.

But that's the problem. People don't want

to train new staff. They just

want someone who already has experience.

You need experience to get a job, and then

you need a job to get experience.

What experience do I have? I worked at

Lawson's for 3 months. I worked at a

petrol station for 9 months.

And I was a famous YouTuber for 4 years,

and then my channel died.

Luckily, I found my next true calling in

life, which is to be a pro stock trader.

And people saying stuff like, oh, you

didn't make any money, you just lost it.

Yeah, that's true, but I'm new to it.

Obviously I'm not gonna be really, really

good at it. God, who the fuck is that

person slamming the fucking door? Idiot.

Just stay in one place. Why is he going in

and out, in and out?

Do you know that woman called Humbled

Trader? She said she's been

doing day trading for 6 years, and then in

the first year she just lost thousands of

dollars. And she said that's the price you

have to pay to get experience. And it's

true, you can't expect to just start

trading stocks and think, oh, I'm gonna

ace every trade and I'm gonna make profit

every month. Maybe if you're lucky you

would, but most beginners,

they end up losing money. But that's how

you learn.

You learn from your mistakes. And then

now, 6 years later, she makes like—

she makes like $50K a month sometimes.

She'll have days where she loses $5K,

$10K, but then she'll have weeks where she

makes $15K or $20K.

I quite like her, she's good,

but she only does day trading. She

probably has an investment account, but

she mainly focuses on day trading, which

I'm not really into.

I feel like day trading is too much like

gambling, but I guess if you know how to

read charts and you can do technical

analysis, then you can swing the odds into

your favor where you can get consistent

profits. You need— as long as you get more

wins than losses, then you're winning. So

you get 5 good trades, you get 3 bad

trades, you're still in profit.

So yeah, I'm still down £7,000,

but I don't think it's the end of the

world. I think after enough

time my stocks will go back up.

Problem is when you start investing at the

peak, it's like a halfpipe, like
