[2025-02-16] my debt is getting out of control [RUwiPL7imes]

Testing.

Testing.

Do you like my new stream setup?

I think it looks pretty good.

Yeah, I think this is better than the sofa

setup.

Yeah, I like it down here.

That also means I don't have to keep

carrying the monitor up and down.

If Sunny comes over, I don't have to keep

bringing it back up and down.

I'll just keep it in this room.

So I've just been having a lazy day today

because I'm going to work tomorrow,

Monday,

first shift.

See how it goes.

Hopefully it's easy because I really need

to start making some money.

You prefer the little room upstairs?

Hmm, it was cozier.

And it was easier to heat.

I do feel like I'm using more electricity

by keeping the radiator on to keep this

room warm.

I've used like 10 kilowatts in 2 days,

so that's like 5 kilowatts per day.

But it's fine because when I start

working, I won't even be at home.

So I've been blasting the heating just to

stay comfy today and yesterday.

Um, but the goal is I'll start working,

I'll be outside most of the day,

so I'm just going to enjoy it now.

Yeah, I guess I'm going to keep the chair

and the desk.

So yesterday when I said, oh, I wish I

didn't get the chair and desk, well, that

changed quickly, didn't it?

Look, I still got some wine left.

The funny thing about wine is it doesn't

go flat.

It's been open for days and it's

still— it's still fizzy.

Weird.

Usually if it's like a fizzy drink and you

don't put the lid back on, it It goes flat

pretty quickly.

Oh wow, thanks, Captain— Captain Gadget.

Wine becomes flat?

This is not flat and it's been open for

days.

I just left it open.

I thought I was gonna just pour the rest

of it down the sink because there's barely

anything left.

But actually there's like half a cup

there, so I might drink it.

Yeah.

So today I've been feeling kind of weird.

Kind of like,

I don't know, do you ever get that feeling

when you set up a new life in a new place

and at first it's exciting and then it

becomes very nerve-wracking because you're

not sure if you can get the place You

don't know if it's going to work out or

not, but then you get the place and then

everything falls into place and everything

is fine.

And now you're just sitting there

wondering,

hmm,

hmm.

Hmm,

but there's not much you can do because

you've already kind of committed to it,

and now I'm feeling like,

hmm.

How much money do I need to make to start

rebuilding my finances is really the

question.

Oh no, I think I'm getting a bit drunk.

I should get some food soon.

So I'm just feeling like

How long until I can pay off the debts and

start rebuilding my financial

fortress?

Could take a long while, like 6 to 12

months, even working part-time.

Maybe I'm just going to have to ask for

full-time work tomorrow.

Because really I need to be saving about

£500 to £600 a month after paying

expenses,

and then times that by 6 or 12 before I

can start.

£600 times 12

is only like £3,000, isn't it?

No, it's 7,200.

That'll be quite nice, but still, it's

like not even half of what I need.

I got some of the debts down by getting a

refund on Amazon.

I've got another refund coming.

It's £148 for the tatami mat.

I reckon because my job doesn't start

until like 10-ish, I'm hoping the delivery

man comes here to pick up the tatami mat

before I leave for my job.

Otherwise I'm gonna have to leave it

outside.

Hopefully he picks it up and I get the

refund, and then I can get rid of another

£148 off the Amazon credit card.

My mum freaked me out this morning.

She sends me and Sunny a message.

What's wrong?

Did you two break up again?

And I'm like, no, why are you saying that?

Did Sunny say something to you?

And then my mum, I don't know what she's

saying because I don't know, it's like she

can't express what she's trying to say

properly.

So I'm really confused.

And then she comes back an hour later and

then she says, oh, sorry, I got confused.

I saw your old stream.

I thought you guys broke up again.

So that was a little bit scary.

You wake up in the morning, your mum's

messaging you, oh my God, Daniel, what

happened?

And I'm like, uh, nothing.

Why?

So my mum thought the old stream of us

breaking up was a new stream and then

thought we were broken up again.

So that's a bit annoying.

So yeah,

I think if I sell my gold stocks by the

end of March, it should be worth about

£5,000.

I get rid of all the credit debts, IKEA

loan should all be gone, and then I'll

just have the Amazon, mum debt, and car

debt.

So that should feel a bit, a bit better.

I got some stuff today.

I got my Japanese rice, I got my new

chopsticks, I got my toilet duck, my

toilet brush, and miso.

I got my miso paste, I got my honshu and

my sesame oil.

The smell of honshu really brings back

memories of A cold apartment in Japan,

feeling sad and lonely.

It really invokes those feelings.

So yeah, I reckon in about a month,

a month's time,

would be a good time to start selling my

gold stock because I see a head and

pattern— I mean, an inverse head and

shoulders pattern forming.

But it could take a month to play out or

more.

And then I would probably sell off half my

gold to pay the credit card debt.

And then I wouldn't really worry about the

Amazon credit card debt because it's

interest-free until July.

So I'll just do minimum payments

and see if gold keeps going up whilst I

try and make money and then focus on,

yeah, just trying to build up money so I

could pay off the Amazon credit card

in July when I have to.

It really sucks having so much debt

because it just feels like

It feels like you're a bird and you could

fly anywhere, and then your wings got

clipped, and now you've got a chain around

your ankle as well.

That's what having all the debt feels

like.

I've always felt like a free bird, and now

I feel like a penguin.

Would I recommend trying natto?

No, that stuff's horrible.

I tried really hard to like it because

it's like something Japanese people really

love, and if you can love it too, you pass

the ultimate weeb test.

But it's so horrible.

It's slimy and cold, and the taste is

like— first, first it's a bit sweet and

you go, hmm, and you start chewing it and

then it becomes really bitter.

And then it's just like a load of bitter

mush in your mouth, and then you swallow

it.

It's like, oh,

and it's like swallowing a lump of snot.

And then you get little stringy bits all

over the place, gets on your nose.

Ah, it's horrible.

And the beans are like really small.

It's like baked beans, but the beans are

really small.

Horrible food.

I don't know why Japanese people love it.

It's basically just rotted soybeans.

That's why they go stringy and bitter,

because it's literally fermented.

Horrible.

Yeah, I know it's good for you.

It's one of the world's top superfoods.

It's got loads of probiotic bacteria and

vitamins and stuff, but the taste is

horrible.

Did not like it, but I do like miso soup.

I'm gonna cook a Japanese dinner today

live on my YouTube.

We're gonna cook the rice, and then I've

got pancetta and eggs that are nearly

gonna go off.

We're just gonna make big omelette.

It's gonna be good.

Eggs, pancetta, Japanese rice, and miso

soup.

And I've got sesame oil to make my

cabbage.

I've got to make the cabbage today because

it's going a bit brown.

Sounds delicious.

Oh, I could cut up some of the cabbage and

use it in the omelette, but I'd rather

make the sesame cabbage.

Maybe in about an hour I'll start making

it.

Sounds pretty good actually.

It's like bacon and eggs with rice and

miso soup.

Hopefully I can make the rice in the pot.

I think I know how to do it.

Today's been so boring.

I don't know what to do.

There's no stocks.

I'm not getting any emails because all the

companies are Taking the day off.

I've just been sitting here thinking, oh

my God, what am I supposed to do?

I guess I should have gone out and done an

Uber Eats, but I just feel like if I'm

going to start work tomorrow, then what's

the point going out to Uber Eats and

making like £15?

And the other problem is my electric thing

still hasn't switched over to the EV

tariff, so I'm going to be paying 24p per

kilowatt instead of 7p.

I mean, it's better than public chargers,

but still, if I'm going to charge up my

car, it's going to cost like £6 or £7.

And if I'm gonna do that every day,

not great.

It's gonna cost me like £120 on the

electric bill

instead of £30.

So hopefully on Monday something happens,

but I'm gonna have to contact the energy

company, I guess.

It just says switching to EV tariff, and

it said that for about 5 days now.

Don't know why it's taking so long.

Do I miss the Thai condo?

I swear you asked that yesterday.

Uh,

I miss certain aspects of it, like it was

never cold.

You could have a shower and not be

freezing like that.

You can just walk around with a shirt on

and not have to worry about being cold.

That was nice.

And I guess the view was pretty nice from

the balcony.

Being cold makes everything difficult and

slower to do.

Well, actually, it makes it faster because

you're like rushing to have a shower,

rushing to get dressed again.

So I guess it speeds you up, but then you

just feel like, oh, I don't want to do it

because it's going to be cold.

Today I turned on the heater and I rubbed

my towel against it to warm up the towel,

put the heating on in the little room, ran

in there quickly.

I don't miss all the little cockroaches

though.

I don't miss having to haul a massive

trolley full of bottled water up to the

apartment because you can't drink the tap

water.

That was not fun.

Sometimes had to do 2 trips, push the

trolley down, push it back up.

Your viewership here is dropping off a

bit.

Yeah, well, the whole drama about breaking

up and moving into a new place is starting

to wear off now, isn't it?

Just like Thailand.

First of all, I got loads of views, and

then I settled into the condo, and then

life got boring,

and then all the streams were just me

sitting in the corner

talking about stocks or beef pie or

Chihiro.

The pattern repeats.

So instead of now being in Thailand,

reminiscing about Japan, I'm now in the UK

reminiscing about Thailand.

What even is the point anymore?

Take you for a walk around the area

because it's just fields and trees and

there's no internet.

There's literally no phone signal here

and it's freezing cold.

I'm not really here to be a tourist.

I'm here to work and live

and have a nice life.

How do I work without phone signal?

Because I got internet.

What do you mean?

First thing I did was I ordered internet

and then I plugged it in and set it up.

I got a Wi-Fi box, but there's no phone

signal here.

So let's do some calculating.

Let's say I get full-time work.

I make,

I

make £350 a week.

I mean, I was making £400 a week on Amazon

Flex and that was part-time work.

So I feel like I should be making more

than that.

So let's say £450 a week.

That's £1,800 a month.

I add some YouTube, like $800 a month

YouTube.

Maybe I can make $2,600 a month.

And then minus my expenses of $1,850, I've

got $750 left over.

After a year, I would have $9,000 saved up

plus my stocks, $4,400.

I've got £13,000 now minus all my debts,

credit card minus, Amazon minus,

IKEA loan minus.

So I've got £8,300 left and then minus my

mum's debt, I've got minus £400.

So, oh my God, even working full time for

a whole year,

I would still be minus £400.

After paying all the debt off.

That's insane.

You think I can work a whole year

full-time?

I was doing part-time on Amazon Flex for

only 4 months and I was having a

breakdown.

I don't know if I can do it.

Yeah.

I'm just hoping I get used to it and it

becomes really easy and I can stick to it

for a year.

Plus I gotta pay tax next January.

That's gonna be like 2,000-ish.

Oh my God, I don't know how I'm gonna do

this.

Longest I worked for was about 9 months at

the petrol station, and then I had to

quit.

I couldn't stand it anymore.

Do you drive the van?

No, I can't do that.

They've got to deliver like 200+ parcels.

I was going to have a breakdown just

delivering 60.

8.

I thought I was going to cry.

I was like sitting there in the car, pitch

black, and I was like, I can't find this

fucking address.

I don't know where to put the parcel.

Imagine doing over 200.

Well, the mum debt is low priority.

The high priority is the credit cards, and

then after that, I'm not really in a

massive rush to pay off my mum.

I'll give her like a couple hundred every

month to whittle it down.

The main thing I really want to do is just

get rid of the damn credit card debt.

And then I want to start rebuilding my

stocks, really,

but I'm going to have to sell off my

stocks.

That's my dream.

My dream is to become an investor slash

YouTuber.

And I think I'm starting to get good at

it.

The problem is you need thousands to make

hundreds,

so you need to be able to invest thousands

in order to just make a couple hundred,

unless you do dangerous stuff like

leveraging or CFDs.

Or day trading, but I'm not doing day

trading because you can lose money just as

easily as you make money.

I'm not doing that again.

The stress of getting it wrong and then

just losing like

£50, £80 for the day felt horrible.

Yeah, I definitely agree it's better to

sell the stocks, get rid of the credit

card debt, than keep the stocks and pay

interest.

I'm not that stupid.

I have until April before interest starts

kicking in, and that should be around the

time when I'm thinking of selling a couple

thousand of Barrick Gold But it does look

like it's forming an inverse head and

shoulders, which means it's going to go

down probably next week before it goes up

again.

So that's not going to be fun,

but I reckon it eventually gets back up to

$21 per share,

which is where I would take profit for a

little bit.

You look stressed.

I'm not stressed, I'm just a bit down.

Oh yeah, I got news, guys.

I just remembered

I got banned on Path of Exile 2.

I tried— I was gonna make some Path of

Exile 2 videos today.

I go to log in, it says this account has

been locked.

So they finally got me.

I was wondering if they were gonna ban me.

You're not allowed to advertise websites

that sell gold, which is what I've been

doing on my gaming channel.

So

I don't know if that was my fault because

I guess I should have blurred out my

username, but maybe they could have found

me anyway because it says my username in

the chat.

Because sometimes your character does like

these— it does verbal catchphrases like, I

got you now, reloading, and it will say

your character name in front of the text.

So maybe I should have blurred out the

chat, But when you open the inventory, I

think it also shows your name.

I couldn't be bothered.

I didn't think they would actually— I

didn't think viewers would report me and

then the game company would actually track

down my character and then ban me.

I feel a bit relieved because I was so

sick and tired of playing that stupid

game.

So I don't even know if the Chinese

company is going to pay me again this

month.

I'll wait until next week.

Because they should contact me like last

time.

So if they are going to pay me again, what

I'm going to do is I'm just going to take

old footage that I've recorded of the game

and just put new voiceovers over it and

just be like, I won't do builds anymore,

I'll just do like

reviews about why the game sucks or my

thoughts on it or how it could be

improved, stuff like that, or tips.

I'll do like top 10 tips and tricks.

I just won't do builds anymore.

But I'll keep pumping them, them out if

the Chinese company is going to pay me

still.

I'm just going to use my old footage and

then delete the old videos and then just

re-upload them but with new voiceover, so

it's basically a new video.

Bit of a shock, I wasn't expecting to get

banned, but I

guess they got me.

Getting banned on everything.

But at least I don't have to play that

stupid game anymore.

You won't be able to survive a year

without spending any money.

Well, obviously in my £18.50 per month

expenses calculation, that includes food,

but yeah, I haven't included money

for— I don't know what else I'm gonna buy.

I guess I need a washing machine at some

point.

That's £200.

I need the drying rack for drying the

laundry, so that's another thing.

And then also you have to buy other things

that run out, like toilet paper, coffee,

soap, shampoo.

I gotta buy shampoo soon.

Oh wow, thanks, Matthew Stone.

Mate, quit investment stuff and just sell

vids of you giving David Gibson a really

powerful bumming and/or showing hole for

PPL into that thing.

Yeah, I might have to at some point.

I bought 8 bottles of Toilet Duck because

my poo keeps getting stuck on the toilet.

And, um,

yeah, I might need to buy more towels

because mine are getting all wet, and then

when I wash those, I need fresh ones in

rotation.

Yeah, it is really hard.

Having a home is basically just a massive

money pit.

Stupid human beings need so many things

just to exist and not be dirty and

disgusting.

Whereas a cat can literally just walk

around in the wild and lick itself and

it's fine.

So unfair.

Cat doesn't need toothpaste, a toothbrush,

toilet paper, clothing, towels.

They just live and their body just takes

care of itself.

Why are us humans— we need all this

rubbish.

We need clothing because we got no fur.

What happened to our fur?

All the other animals got fur.

It's not fair.

Why are we naked?

What's the point of losing our fur so we

can be freezing?

It made sense in Africa because it's hot.

Why couldn't we, like, re-evolve fur for

us who live in cold countries?

Yeah, the only fur we got is here.

Wow, this is so useful.

On the top of my stupid head.

And why can't I just lick myself clean

like a cat does?

But I'll be all smelly.

Gotta buy all this rubbish like, oh, soap,

oh, toothpaste.

Yeah, it's hard to

do calculations pricing in that you're not

going to spend anything, I guess, because

I mean, I guess I'm going to spend stuff

apart from, you know, bills, rent, and

basic food.

On top of that, there's always unexpected—

I mean, I'm going to have to go to the

garage and get my car tire fixed, aren't

I?

At some point.

But, you know, I do feel confident I can

get rid of the credit card debts by April.

What do you think?

So once I got rid of the credit card

debts, the main goal is not to get back

into credit card debt

because that's the risk.

I could pay it off all now and then I'll

just use it again because I have to.

Otherwise, the only other choice is I use

my overdraft.

It's very hard to put out a forward

projection.

Were termites really eating Faster's

house?

Yeah, they got inside of the walls and

they were eating the furniture and the

woodwork.

Moving out was the worst decision you

made.

Hmm, I don't know.

Depends what my goal is.

If the goal was purely to pay off debt,

then maybe you could make that argument.

Doesn't it feel good to have your own

space now?

Yeah, I guess so.

I had my own space at my mum's house.

It's just

she kept trying to fight with me,

which is what drove me crazy,

because she'll just make no sense at all

and then get angry and then expect you to

bow down to her ill logic.

And she's the type who won't back down.

She always thinks she's right.

She just doesn't listen.

She's really stubborn.

It's like when I was trying to explain to

her the car insurance and then she just

kept talking over me and didn't listen to

what I was saying, even though I was

right.

She— because I, I changed her car

insurance policy to include me Dave Gibson

and my mum.

But to do that, it required you canceling

the previous policy, and then you create

the new policy.

And the new policy was like £800.

And she kept saying, no, that's only for

you.

And I said, no, it's for all of us.

And then she kept saying, oh my God, you

don't know cars, Daniel.

The woman on the phone literally just said

it's for all of us.

She just won't listen.

And then maybe a year later she'll accept

I was right, but she won't say it.

You can't have

I don't know, can you, can you have

multiple policies on the same car?

Because they wouldn't— because what I was

thinking was they would just create a new

policy for me on my mum's car and not

touch the existing one.

But they were like, oh no, we can't do

that.

We have to cancel the existing one and

create a new one.

That's what they said.

And then I drove my mum's car 2 times and

then never used it again.

Because I passed my driving exam and then

I went to Thailand, didn't I?

Oh, whatever.

Who cares?

I think it costs— I don't know, because

I'm a new driver, it would have made the

new policy

more expensive.

But because I'm not the main driver, I'm

just like an additional driver.

It's not as expensive as if I was the main

driver who owned the car.

But it was still quite expensive because

I'm a new driver.

We did the insurance thing for Sunny,

imagining if she owned my car, and the

insurance came out to like £600 a year.

For me, I pay like £1,400 a year.

Oh, did you see Ice?

He was ranting and trashing Kimberly on

stream because they had a fight or

something.

Well, well, well, look who isn't too

different to thyself.

Guess I'm not the only one who rants about

his girlfriend on stream.

I was a bit surprised because usually Ice

is quite good at controlling his emotions

about ranting about people.

So it was a bit unusual.

He was saying something like he said a

woman had nice tits in Japan on his

stream, and then Kimberly found out and

then had a go at him, and then he got mad

about it.

Doesn't that sound like someone else

complimenting someone's big bottom and

then a certain wife getting mad?

And then he was saying, I'm working so

hard streaming in Japan, and then she's

just sitting in my house doing nothing.

So I should be able to talk about big tits

whenever I want.

I wonder what her nose job looks like.

Apparently she got a nose job and they

were saying it didn't look great.

I feel like nose jobs have a high chance

of not looking good.

A lot of botched nose jobs out there.

Sometimes you're just walking around

outside and someone's got massive bum or

massive boobs and you're like, whoa, those

are massive.

You're just kind of stating something out

loud.

Doesn't have to mean that you like it.

Maybe the boobs are just ridiculously

massive,

cuz I wouldn't find that attractive.

It just look weird.

I keep trying to check my stocks and then

realizing, oh, it's Sunday.

Sunny will be 30 soon.

What, in 5 years?

Yeah, then I'll be 41, won't I?

You guys still gonna be here when I'm 40?

Market closed Monday too?

Oh my God, what now?

Some stupid other person died?

So how many damn people does America have

that died and have their stupid deaths

celebrated?

Like Martin Luther King.

President's Day again?

I thought they already had a President's

Day.

They got so many stupid days.

No wonder your country's all bankrupt and

in debt.

You don't work every week some day.

Jimmy Carter Day.

And then

Ronald Reagan Day and then Washington Day

and then Lincoln Day.

God, stupid American market.

And then Thanksgiving, market's down for

like 4 days.

So annoying.

Why do they shut the market on a stupid

holiday?

Yeah, when Kim— Jimmy Carter died, They

did like a respectful Memorial Day, so

they shut the markets.

I didn't even know who he was until he

died.

So silly.

I want to know what's happened to my gold.

I don't care if someone died.

Boo effing hoo.

Apparently a gold mine in Mali collapsed

and 48 people died.

It wasn't my mine, I think it was like an

illegal mine.

That's what you get for not doing it

properly.

They probably just dug a tunnel

and then it collapsed on them.

Don't think it was a Barrick gold mine.

Oh well, it doesn't matter because I'll be

busy working, doing my first shift.

I think I'm just gonna have to be like,

actually

Would like to do full-time.

Please, please can I have some work?

I need money.

I'm in so much debt.

Got nothing to check on my phone, but I

keep impulsively picking it up and

checking stuff even though nothing happens

on my phone.

400 parcel drop.

I think I would cry.

It took me all day just to do 70 parcels.

It took me like 8 or 9 hours.

Left the depot half 11, finished at half 7

PM.

Yeah, that's 8 hours it took to do 70

parcels.

I was so slow.

And I had an 80% failure rate for the, uh,

the timing.

Best delivery driver ever.

Basically everything was delivered late.

It's so funny, all of this could have been

avoided if I just paid my tax properly

back in 2018, '19, and '20.

None of you guys warned me, did you?

Have I ever sought medication?

What kind of medication would help?

I did pay taxes, I just didn't pay enough.

I didn't report my OnlyFans earnings.

I only reported the YouTube earnings.

I thought OnlyFans earnings was like my

secret money.

I didn't think they'd tax me on that.

Are you gonna tax me just for showing my

bumhole?

It's weird.

I thought you only got to pay tax if it's

like a proper job.

How's OnlyFans a proper job?

So even if you go around picking up

pennies off the street, you've got to

report that as income as well.

Any way you make money is taxable.

It's so silly.

And then the roads are still covered in

potholes,

and you still gotta pay for tolls over

bridges.

And I still don't know how to dispose of

my garbage.

I've got a massive bag of garbage now.

I think I'm just gonna take it to the dump

again.

I gotta go anyway because I've got so much

cardboard.

Although I might try stuffing the

cardboard under my bed to stop the

creaking.

But I've got plastic too.

I gotta take all the plastic.

Explain to them YouTube is not a real job.

Yeah, they'd be like, please explain why

you didn't properly report your earnings.

And I'll be like, I didn't report my

earnings because according to my viewers,

YouTube is not a real job, so I didn't

know I had to pay taxes

if it's not a real job.

I only made 12,400 in Thailand last year,

so they can't get me for taxes for that.

I initiated my plan of I'm just gonna make

less money so I don't have to pay any tax,

but I can't do that now.

It's not gonna work here.

Sorry.

Yeah, I was really happy with my plan of

just making barely any money and they

don't have to tax— they can't tax me.

But now I can't do that plan anymore.

I'm a bit—

can't stick it to the man.

I'm gonna accidentally end up making like

£20K this tax year and only be able to

write off probably a couple thousand.

So I probably got to pay tax on 5K, which

would be about 1,500-ish.

Your uncontrollable spending.

I need stuff.

How am I going to survive without a bag of

rice, a bowl,

food?

Toilet duck?

What, you think I'm just gonna let my

toilet become disgusting festering pool of

bacteria and poo?

I need basic hygiene products.

I don't want to get the poo water all over

my hands anymore.

I bought an 8-pack.

That was the smallest they did.

And, uh, what else I get?

Okay, I did waste money getting the foot

warmer.

£30.

I don't use that anymore.

And, um, I

don't know, I feel like everything else I

need— don't need the heater, bed, rugs,

and foot— what?

I need the heater.

How am I gonna warm up?

It's freezing just relying on the heaters

here.

And, uh, I need rugs.

The floor is freezing and it kept echoing.

Echo.

See, it doesn't echo anymore.

When I first moved in here, it was like,

oh.

Now I've got the rugs and the sofa and the

curtains, it really absorbs all the sound.

And I need the— yeah, okay, I didn't need

the foot warmer, but I didn't know that.

These are basic human rights to not be

freezing and to be clean.

I did reduce the car debt because I had to

pay £194 yesterday for my car payment.

So only another 37 months, 37 payments to

go, plus the balloon payment.

I feel like I won't even have the money

for the balloon payment.

Pay the balloon payment using the credit

card,

or I have to give back my car that I've

already put £12,000 into.

Tell that to the homeless.

Well, maybe they just got a job, then they

wouldn't be homeless.

Why don't they just get their mum to send

them some money?

What happened to cooking videos and weird

stories?

Well, I'm going to do cooking live in a

minute.

I basically just do it all live now

because there's literally no point doing a

video because it just won't get more views

than the stream gets.

So why would I bother making a video when

it does worse than the stream?

I just do it all on stream, do my weird

stories, do my life updates.

I can't be bothered to make a video, edit

it.

Yeah, I just thought we'd do an hour of

chatting and then I'll switch to my phone

and I'll show you how to make authentic

Japanese poverty food.

Using only eggs, pancetta, miso soup, and

raw cabbage.

Oh my god, the raw cabbage is so good.

Oh, you put garlic powder, salt, sesame

oil, and you rub it into the raw cabbage

and it tastes like meat, but it's got the

crispiness and crunchiness of cabbage.

So good.

I swear my favorite food to have in Japan

is the little bowl of oily cabbage they

give you when you go to yakiniku.

I actually like it more than the meat

because you eat the meat and you start

getting a bit sick of it because you're so

full, but you never get sick of the

cabbage.

Oh no.

Oh yeah.

I thought I had to cut the cabbage and I

didn't have the kitchen knife Sunny

brought over, but I already pre-cut it.

I thought I was gonna have to use my

scissors to cut the cabbage.

Yeah, I'd love to make some tonkotsu— I

mean tonkatsu with the Japanese rice.

I haven't had rice in ages since Sunny

came over.

Just been having pasta.

I missed how good rice is.

Cabbage farts are the worst.

Yeah, that is the problem.

After I had the cabbage, oh, my stomach

was churning with gas.

My stomach was in pain from all the gas

because the raw cabbage is basically

fermenting in your gut and producing all

this gas.

Edit your long streams into small videos.

I used to do that myself,

and okay, yeah, I could squeeze out an

extra $10 or $15 per clip, but it just— it

felt wrong.

Like, I felt like if it was really worth

clipping from the stream, instead of

clipping it from the stream and editing

it, it would be faster and better quality

if I just made a video

of the same topic and try and make it

funnier.

The thing is, I just— I don't feel like I

have any rants during the streams that are

so good they deserve to become a video.

Did those weird TTS donors get your stream

demonetized?

No, it's fine.

I think the Indian voice— they can't

understand the Indian voice, so

the algorithm doesn't pick it up.

Hmm.

What else?

It really just feels like the entire world

has frozen over the weekend, and then

Monday morning comes and suddenly new

stuff happens.

All of the interesting news topics also

start coming out on Monday.

Need to get the IKEA loan up some.

No,

the problem with IKEA is

some of their stuff is good.

Like the mattresses and maybe the shelves

and the little tables are good.

My little coffee table was only £20, but

then some of the other stuff like sofas

are really expensive and not very good.

You've got to spend over £1,000 to get a

decent sofa at IKEA.

And if you get the cheap ones, they're

just so hard.

So there's not really anything else I want

from IKEA.

I got the bed, I got the mattress, I got

the little table.

Sofa, definitely much better to get on a

different website like DFS or Online Sofa

Shop,

even Argos maybe.

I feel like IKEA overcharges for certain

items.

I mean, I could get a washing machine from

IKEA on the IKEA loan, but the IKEA

washing machines are much more expensive

than the Amazon washing machines.

So I don't know,

should I get an IKEA washing machine?

Will I take the stuff home to Harwich when

my lease ends?

I would either renew my lease and carry on

living here, or I would get a better

place.

The only scenario where I see myself going

back home would be if me and Sunny

actually broke up.

Then I'd be like, oh, screw it, I'm going

home, back to Asia.

Just, I don't know, I don't think I see

myself staying

if me and Sunny broke up because yeah, it

is very expensive to stay here and

maybe I would be bored here.

I'm not sure if I was alone.

If I was alone, I'd be bit bored, to be

honest.

So I'd probably just ditch everything

because I don't think my mum—

it would cost hundreds of pounds to get a

van to take all the stuff.

It would probably cost like £500.

My sofa, my bed, it's got to be a massive

truck that can fit everything.

3-man team.

There's just certain things that are

easily replaceable and would be too big to

bother bringing back home.

I could fit a lot in the car, like the

bin,

Cushions, pillows, blankets.

I would have to line my car with blankets

anyway to put my monitor and electronics

into it.

Yeah, I got so much stuff now.

I am an owner of stuff.

I own furniture.

Are you jealous?

Give the sofa to my mum.

Where's she gonna put it?

I guess she could put it in the summer

cabin because the summer cabin doesn't

have a sofa.

Actually, it does, but it's like a really

ugly one.

Oh, I could give my mum the stuff and she

can write it off how much I owe her.

So it's like £2,000 worth of stuff, which

is take that off how much I owe her, and

then I'll give it to her, and she can put

it in the summer cabin.

Easy.

So yeah, it's not a waste.

She doesn't want it, but I'm sure she

would love to upgrade the garden cabin.

My mum's not worried.

She's making bank off the summer cabin

tenant.

Tenant, not tent.

She should just erect like 20 tents in the

garden and rent them out.

£200 per week.

Or I just give her my car and I'll be

like, okay, I'll give you my car if you

erase my debt.

And then she could either use the car or

sell the car.

Bada bing, bada bong, as they say in

Harrietsham.

So yeah, I'm not really worried about my

mum's debt because

there's many things I could do to erase

it.

If— this is if I was gonna go back home.

We're just talking about ifs.

Damn, I didn't realize I like wine so

much.

It's like juice, but it gives you this,

um, fuzzy warm feeling in the back of your

throat.

It's also good for you.

It's got antioxidants and it's made out of

grapes.

No, I'm not— it's not when I'm not going

back, it's an if.

He's getting hammered.

Uh, no, I had a sandwich.

It's gonna soak it all up.

I'm gonna make the finest Japanese meal.

Even Chibiro will be proud.

God, even my emails are dead.

I got nothing.

Does no one work on Sunday?

No wonder this country's falling apart.

How much do I make off these streams?

Um, on a good stream I make about $80 to

$100.

On a bad stream I'll just make like $30 or

$40.

It depends if that crazy guy who spams the

TTS is here or not.

Bankrolled by one person.

Well, it's usually like 2 or 3 people who

do that $1 spam stuff.

Basically, I'm only doing the stream for

those guys.

I could only have 10 viewers.
