hey guys its me dnaiel

Testing, testing, testing finished.

Do you like my new haircut?

Looks pretty good. I'm getting

really good at cutting my hair. Look at

the back. It looks good.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, we've got 4— 8 hours.

Ready to clock in another 8-hour shift on

the tubes.

Did I cut it myself? Yeah, I've been

cutting my own hair since 2006.

I'm getting good at it.

It took me like 20 minutes. I just got

these big pair of scissors and I went

shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop shoop

shoop. Didn't even look at the back

because I don't have a dual mirror setup.

I don't need to look at the back to be

able to cut the back. I just grab it like

that, twist it a bit to grab— to collect

it all, and then snip it off. And then I

keep feeling until it feels like it's all

the same length. I could

probably cut my hair blind.

Blindfolded. Why are you 40? I'm not 40.

I'm 34 this month. How is that 40? It's

like saying someone who's 24 is 30.

How am I acting like a teenager anyway?

What have I done that makes you think that

I'm acting like a teenager?

Yeah, exactly. Nothing.

How's your day going? It's okay, but I'm a

bit sick, so if I'm kind of low energy,

that's why. I'm not sad or anything. It's

just got a sore throat. Head feels a bit

fuzzy. I don't know how I can be sick when

I never go out. Must have gotten it from

my girlfriend.

She must have brought something back. The

weird thing is she's not sick.

I don't go anywhere and I don't meet

anyone, so I thought I wouldn't get sick.

Maybe it was from Last

weekend we went to that smelly market

under the bridge. Probably got sick from

that poverty market.

Do I like black girls? Yeah, some black

girls are attractive, I guess, but not

those loud big ones. I like slim,

petite, feminine women. And unfortunately,

if you— if that's what you like, then

finding that within the black community is

a challenge. That's why

I aim for Japanese girls, because they fit

my preferences more. They fit my

preferences better. Oh,

thank Thanks, uh, Lohen Graham for

subbing on my Twitch.

Wow, 4 viewers on Twitch.

5 viewers on Twitch.

Do I want children? Not really.

I want freedom.

Did I get a haircut? Yep, cut it on

Wednesday, a few weeks before I leave for

Japan. So if I mess up and cut it too,

too short, there's some time for it to

regrow. That's my strategy.

But I think it looks pretty good.

I haven't had it this short since October,

I think, since I came to Thailand.

That person didn't even say why I'm acting

like a teenager,

did he? Where is he?

High and lows. But he's gone.

Is this clickbait? No, I'm gay.

This bot is spamming the poll again. I

don't know how to turn it off. That was a

poll I made when I was in Manchester.

Stream. Why does it seem like everyone's

doing subathon streams in Japan now?

I bet they saw Ice's subathon really do

really well and then they're like, oh,

I'm going to do that too.

Everyone's just streaming themselves

sleeping and doing nothing. I guess that's

what streaming is. You just sit there

Uh,

CloudBot polls,

close poll. Okay, it should

stop spamming now.

Do I plan to move to an area of Japan you

haven't previously lived in? No, I'm going

to move to Osaka again because I like

Osaka.

Everywhere in Japan is basically the same

after you've been there a lot of times.

There's not really much difference. I

don't like Tokyo because it's full of

those Like scammer people, you know, the

Nigerian scammers. I was reading into it

yesterday. Apparently in the 1990s, Japan

had some kind of agreement with

Nigeria to hand out a bunch of visas

to a couple thousand people. Don't know

why, but a couple thousand Nigerians

moved to Japan in the '90s, struggled to

find work, and then ended up doing stuff

like nightlife, bars, basically scamming

people. You see all those stories about

people getting taken to bars, having their

drinks spiked, waking up and then charged

$6,000? You should try wearing a pantsu

button and women's panties and white

socks. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I'll do that.

I'll get like a Joshi Corset outfit at Don

Quijote. I think in Japan I'll just go

wild, like get wigs, Japanese schoolgirl

uniform and just like jerk myself off.

The problem is I have to pixelate myself,

won't I? Do you think Japanese police

would really come after me because I'm

showing my willy? They don't even care

when someone gets beaten up on the street

or if someone's like paying for cereal.

It's like the Japanese police don't

care about anything. All this illegal

stuff's just happening in open sight

and they don't do anything.

Don't know, there must be so much

corruption. Stuff like, oh, I can't touch

these people because they're connected to

the Yakuza. So what,

when you join the police force in Japan,

you have to take training on how not to

disturb the Yakuza? And don't disturb

Nigerian people because then we'll be

called racist. They said that the Japanese

police don't want to arrest the Nigerian

scammer people because the Nigerian

embassy then starts accusing them of being

racist. And they don't want that

bad look. They don't want that bad PR. So

they just leave the Nigerian scammers

alone, which is just crazy. Because

everyone knows— I think most people know

by now about this Nigerian bar scam stuff.

Even Chris Broad made a video about it.

So it's not like it's a secret. The

Japanese police know it's going on, but

then they don't do anything to stop it.

So they're just happy to let foreigners

and tourists come to Tokyo and just get

scammed and have their drinks spiked.

It's so lame, isn't it?

They should shut all these places down.

It annoys me.

That's why I don't go. I don't like Tokyo.

It's just full of those kind of people. I

never see those people in Osaka. It's

always like Kabukicho, Roppongi.

Why did they invite them if they didn't

have jobs for them? I'm not sure. I think

they just did it to look good so they can

say, hey, we're not racist, we just gave a

load of visas to Nigerian people.

And now it's like biting them back 40

years later. That's why you see those

Nigerian guys always like 30 or 40 years

old, like middle-aged.

And now they can't do anything because

they can't like round them all up and kick

them out. That would look so bad.

It's just sad. Like, these countries are

ruining themselves because they don't want

They mostly work as bouncers in clubs.

Yeah, I don't know if it's like the entire

Nigerian community that are bad. Maybe

they're mostly good. Good people, but it's

like a small minority of the community

that makes them look really bad.

They always come up to you and they're

like, oh, do you want massage and titties?

I saw loads of them when I was watching

Ice's stream.

Nigerians work with the Yakuza. Yeah, I

read the Yakuza found out that Nigerians

are better at aggressive street sales than

Chinese or Korean people that they used to

employ. So they employed the Nigerians.

To do like street work. But then the

Nigerians were so good at it, they just

started working for themselves. You got

like massive Nigerian mob in Tokyo that

How— I mean, how dumb do you have to be to

just go with some random guy into a bar?

And drink drinks. You should dress up as a

Japanese policeman and wave your willy

around in a video. Pretty sure that's

illegal to dress up as a policeman.

Don't you mean a police them? It's 2023,

can't have gender words. Like Sam,

Sam Smith, that stupid singer.

Fish of them.

How dumb do you have to be to actually

follow one of these Nigerian people though

and get scammed? Apparently they just

march you to an ATM if you don't have

enough money, but what if you just ran?

What are they gonna do, run after you?

I'd probably be too scared.

I'd probably just march— get marched to

the ATM, just hand over all my money.

Damn, quiet day today on the tubes.

Is it because it's Friday? Is it Friday?

Yeah, it's Friday.

I guess the gay bait doesn't work anymore.

So about Japan, should I make

videos or should I just livestream when I

land and do like a just livestream my

whole life? So I feel like at this point

videos won't really work.

I could do like a short, short-form

content like I used to, but I

try and make it all dramatic and cinematic

like I used to, or just livestream.

Aren't you livestreaming with Suspenders?

No. Although that would be kind

of interesting. I wonder if Suspenders

would like me. Suspenders seems like a

very helpful and friendly guy for most of

the time.

TQ Sam said he connected you two.

Well, he just made an Instagram group chat

and then asked suspenders about Wi-Fi,

and then I said, hey suspenders, like your

streams, can you recommend me pocket

Wi-Fi? And then he just links a website.

Which I bought. I paid for one month of

pocket Wi-Fi from that website. I've seen

other people use it as well. Do you

remember that girl, that Korean girl who

used to make videos with TerryTV called

Bubbly? She used to be called Boyoung's

World. Does anyone— did anyone used

to watch TerryTV like 5 years ago when he

was pretty popular?

Do you remember he used to get like

500,000, 600,000 views? On nearly

everything. The guy fell off so much.

I don't know what happened. It was like

during COVID he got depressed, I think,

and moved back to America, and then he

didn't upload for ages. And then he kind

of came back with these murder mystery

videos, which didn't really pop off. Now

he's like disappeared again, but he

basically lost his entire fan base during

COVID But he used to, back in

the day, like 5 or 6 years ago when he was

big stuff, he used to make a lot of videos

with this Korean girl called Baryeong.

And I remember they made a video called—

well, she made a vid. She had a YouTube

channel as well, 187K subs, but then she

deleted everything. She only does Twitch

now. I saw she was in Japan yesterday and

I watched a bit.

But I remember I commented on her video

saying, you're just clickbaiting, you're

not actually his girlfriend. And then she

replied, said, I didn't say I was his

girlfriend. I put a space in between,

between the girl and the friend. I wonder

if she remembers me. I commented on

her Twitch stream. She doesn't— she didn't

realize it was me. I said, can you come to

Thailand? And she said, sure, if I pay for

it. She kind of looks like my girlfriend,

like a Korean version of my girlfriend.

But she's using that same pocket Wi-Fi

that I ordered. Seems good.

And all these people from 5 years ago, so

many just fell off.

Tikyo Sam is live now as well. What's he

I wonder what TerryTV is up to these days.

Maybe he just got a job. How do you just

quit YouTube like that? Unless you made

millions, which I don't think he did.

I reckon he probably

has like a couple hundred thousand in

savings after all these years,

but he didn't make enough to live off it

for the rest of his life. He must be doing

something else. You fell off too?

Well, it's called growing up. I guess when

you're young, you've got all like this

young energy, but then you get over 30

something, you approach your mid-30s, you

kind of calm down as a, as an adult.

And then vlogging and this kind of stuff,

you just naturally lose interest in it. I

find it kind of boring now. But when I was

like 28, 27, I was so excited

to vlog. I was like, oh my God, I'm a

vlogger. Look at me eating food.

I guess you, you get to a point in life

where you feel like, well, I'm nearly in

my mid-30s. I didn't become

mega successful like I was dreaming. You

start— I mean, I think reality starts to

set in and you feel like, well, I don't

have much time left. Chances of me

becoming mega successful are probably zero

by now.

But when you're young, you feel like

anything could happen. You don't know

what's going to happen when you're in your

early 20s. You've got your whole life

Now I feel like instead of trying to be

mega successful, my goal is just to

survive. It's just like to find some

kind of happiness with

what I have and try to have

more of a realistic approach. Yeah, I'm

not going to be the next PewDiePie, I

guess. Could have happened in a different

reality where I wasn't mentally retarded.

Do I have any friends yet?

Uh, I guess me and Pia are friends. We

played Sons of the Forest yesterday. It

was pretty fun. Anyone else play Sons of

the Forest? It's a pretty good game,

actually. And then some idiots

came onto our server, blew our house up,

so we had to quit and then reload it.

Imagine Minecraft but with really

realistic graphics. That's what Sons of

the Forest is like.

I made a server. So far it's just me and

Pia. Might play it later today.

I'm thinking of making a new server, but

this time make it really hard so you need

water and food to live. Currently it's

kind of on easy mode. I think it would be

more exciting if you had to eat and drink.

I never played the first Forest, so I

don't really know how different it is.

What do you normally talk about with Pia?

We don't really talk about anything

actually. We just play the game.

It's very relaxing. Just run around, chop

down some trees, build a house, collect

food, build some furniture. I like

Um,

my mind's gone blank.

What should I talk about? I got 7 hours.

I feel like there's nothing going on

anywhere.

Your arms look bigger. Oh, thanks. Been

working out.

Maybe I'll go to the gym tomorrow on the

weekend.

My workout routine, I do bicep curls and

then over the head with the dumbbells like

that and push-ups. That's it,

really.

Does your girlfriend still think you're a

graphic designer? I don't think she does

anymore. Sometimes she does ask,

are you really an artist? And then I say

sometimes. That was a really stupid lie to

make. Why did I tell her I do art?

Should have known that means I would have

had to do some art. I didn't do any.

Actually, I did one, you know, that horse

video. But I haven't done any in

front of her, so I don't know what she

thinks. I think she thinks that I do

investing for money, but I've lost like

£1,000 in the last few weeks,

so I don't know what to say if she asks

me. I think I'll just say I'm not doing

anything.

She must think it's weird that I don't do

anything for money.

I already showed her my old art I did

years ago. Now I just

say I lost interest in it and now I'm

interested in— She thinks I just sit

at home playing games. I think she's fine

with it. Since I'm paying for stuff.

I don't think women care if you work or

not if you've got money and you can pay

for everything. If you got no job and you

got no money, then yeah, they'll probably

get fed up with you.

Well, I can't tell her that I make videos

and I do streaming. No way.

Especially after the last stream where I

basically called her mum a B-I-T-C-H.

I went all out on her mum last stream. I

was— I don't know why last stream I was in

such a mood. Had some pretty good rants,

like the poor people thing.

Poor people, funny. I mean, I'm poor as

well, but I got standards.

Like, I'm clean, tidy.

Tell her you're broke without a job. I

mean, I do joke and I say I'm broke and I

can't afford this and that.

What if she puts a hidden cam? Yeah, if

she could see what I get up to alone, it

would be weird. I jerk off like twice a

day. Then I do my exercising and then I'm

making streams and stuff. She'll see me

just sitting here talking to myself and

then jerking off. I got so bored

yesterday. I tried watching a video about

the stock market. I got so bored. I just

ended up getting a massive boner. Does

anyone else just get really horny when

they're bored? I had to pause it and then

rub one out and then come back.

Pretty bored these days. Let's try and

find stuff to do, like cleaning,

cut my hair, do some working out,

fold my t-shirt.

Well, good news is she doesn't seem to be

coming to Japan anymore. For now.

She bought a load of stuff. She bought a

new bag, like a new handbag. I don't know

how much it was. Must have been at least a

couple thousand, but— and she bought a

bunch of English textbooks, which makes me

feel bad. Because she seems really serious

about learning English for me. Probably

she bought about 5 of these thick

textbooks. I don't know when she's going

to read it because she comes home from

work and goes to bed. Maybe on the

weekend.

Are you going to dump her? I don't know.

I don't want to. But I want to go back to

Japan. I miss Japan.

I want to do some stuff in Japan, not sit

around in boring Thailand. I feel like in

Japan I could do so many things, like get

a bike, ride around Osaka,

meet some Japanese people, do hanami.

Maybe meet some viewers in Japan.

It's just in Thailand, I feel like nothing

happens. Why would I want to go outside

biking in Thailand and get run over by an

army of mopeds? Get melted in the

36-degree humid heat? Thailand is just

horrible to go outside during the day.

The roads are just so full and ugly

looking. Rats everywhere.

It's just not a

pleasant city to walk around unless you

live right bang in the center,

which I don't.

Do I have any new video ideas? Absolutely

So I've completely given up on personal

videos because they just don't get views

anymore. Fully focused on reactionary

commentary videos, but there's just

nothing happening to react to. The Anime

Man video is doing well. It's, um, 3 out

of 10 on the ranking.

Bit of a slow burner, but the blue line is

ticking up higher than my usual videos

get.

I've had to rethink my strategy

for making videos a lot.

The PewDiePie video did so well, I can't

believe it. Jesus, 110,000.

My god. It was only 101,000 a

couple of days ago. How many views is— oh

wow, it's getting like 5,000 views a day.

I can't believe that's my most successful

video in like a year. It's made $250.

I feel happy and frustrated about it. So

it just makes me feel like, oh, what's the

point making anything original or genuine?

YouTube just rewards me for pumping out

shit. It's really demoralizing as,

as a creative person or someone who wants

to be creative. It's so demoralizing when

you just shit out the crappiest video ever

and it outperforms every single video

you've made in like a year.

I don't think I ever got like 100k views

on a personal video since 2017 or

2018. It's just demoralizing.

I don't want to make this stuff. I want

to make— I want to document my life and

talk about things I care about. I don't

give a crap about stupid PewDiePie's

stupid baby, but that's what I gotta do.

That's what I gotta do to pay the bills.

It sucks. Got my comment section

full of idiots saying, oh, I grew up in

America and I'm not white and I'm just

fine. They're so stupid. Do you honestly

think America and Japan's the same?

America is a multicultural country.

It's a melting pot of different

ethnicities. Japan was like a closed-off

country for most of its history until a

couple hundred years ago. They never

imported a huge number of slaves from

Africa. They had some Korean and Chinese

slaves, I guess. Japan is not, not

multicultural. So how can you even compare

the two? It's just so dumb, these people.

What is wrong with Americans these days?

It's like they're just getting dumber and

dumber.

It's just, I can't with Americans anymore.

The stereotype of like the dumb American,

you think, oh, maybe it's just a

stereotype, but I think it's actually

Being— having exposure to PewDiePie's fan

base, just, I think it made me die inside

a little. They're so stupid.

Oh my God. I had to turn the comments

off because I was just getting so

triggered at the stupidity.

Now they're coming on to my other videos

and saying, oh, but I grew up in America.

They just— they don't get it. They

completely missed every single point I was

making.

I guess, what do you expect from

PewDiePie's fanbase? They're probably all

stupid kids.

Oh, PewDiePie is a rich millionaire, I'm

sure his kid will be well looked after.

Yeah, because money already solves

everything in life, doesn't it? Not. Look

at Notch, look how miserable and lonely he

was. As a multibillionaire, people think,

oh, just because PewDiePie has got money,

he can fix everything.

I guess it'll be interesting if I could

talk to one of these people directly

instead of just comments, but I think

they're so dumb.

I think people who love Japan don't

understand Japan at all. Like,

literally every big white YouTuber has

complained about racism in Japan. Chris,

Connor, Ludwig. Even Ludwig complained

about how he wasn't welcomed into some bar

Play games with your viewers. I'd like to

play Sons of the Forest, but I feel like

if I start playing games, I'd lose half my

I end up replying to these comments and

then deleting it because I don't want to

see their response because it's just gonna

make me more angry.

My whole comment section is just people

raging at me.

It's just boring.

For some reason, the Elden Ring video is

popping up again in views. I think because

some DLC is coming out soon, so Elden Ring

is trending again. I should play that.

You got solid points. Yeah, I know. I

thought, you know, when I made the

PewDiePie video, I wasn't really trolling.

I was kind of being authentic.

And I thought my points made sense.

But then they started calling me a racist

for some reason. How am I a racist by

pointing out Japan's racism?

That's what frustrates me about YouTube.

It's like people never seem to get my

point and they completely twist things or

twist what I'm saying. Am I bad at saying

stuff? I might— maybe I'm just bad at

explaining things. In my mind it makes

sense, and when I say it, I think I've

worded it well enough. Maybe I'm just

really bad at it.

I don't think you can really disagree that

the fact is PewDiePie's kid will

have unique problems growing up in Japan

as a non-Asian person compared to if he

just grew up in a white country. Don't you

agree with that? How can you not agree

with it? It's not subjective. It's like a

literally objective fact that

a white person would have an easier time

growing up in a white country. How can you

disagree with that? Do you

think Japanese people on a daily basis

suffer from racism living in Japan?

Of course not, because they're surrounded

by Japanese people. The only people

who suffer from racism is when they're a

minority in a country where— totally get

you— where they are not the majority.

Oh, thanks, Blood the Bucket.

Very generous.

Didn't you used to say they love white

people in Japan?

Well, they do, mostly, but there's a lot

of Japanese people who don't like them and

tell them to leave when they try and go

into restaurants and bars.

That's gonna be PewDiePie's kid's future,

getting denied entry to bars because he

doesn't look Asian.

Oh well, we'll see. 10 years' time,

I wonder if PewDiePie will be uploading

posts and updates about his kid, or are

they just gonna disappear? I wonder

if PewDiePie will just disappear one day.

Probably in 10 or 20 years' time, Japan

will be much more international and

there'll be a much bigger international

community. There's already a pretty big

one, but I guess in the future it's just

going to get bigger,

which is why I'll be avoiding Tokyo even

more. No thanks. I don't want to live in

an international community.

Which is funny I say that because I go to

Japan and I have no interest in making

friends with Japanese people. I end up

just making friends with American people

or Europeans or Canadians. I like

Canadians. Canadians are always nice and

pleasant to be around. Americans are also

nice. It's just they can be kind of weird

and toxic. And they always want to debate

about racial things. I think I noticed

about Americans is the conversation always

goes towards like racial stuff.

Black people this and black people that.

Oh, thanks, Rosetta.

Can you say my name in an ASMR style,

please? What is your name?

Well, your YouTube name. How, whispering?

Rosetta Stoned. Thank you very much.

Do you think my mic's better now I put

this fluffy thing? I noticed my Ps were

very Harsh. And there's like

a wind sound when I said pee.

Good thing I brought this with me.

Say it in a sexy voice. I don't know how

to. Rosetta Stoned.

Is that good?

I really want to test my new IRL setup,

but I just can't be bothered to go

outside. IRL wannabe IRL streamer who

can't be bothered to go outside.

I think it would work. I don't see why it

won't work as long as I have 2

connections, one for the laptop, one for

It works really good when I test it

inside, and then if I lose connection from

the GoPro, it would still stream, just be

a black screen. If I can make a

code or somehow Have it automatically

switch to a be right back screen when the

stream goes down, if the stream goes down.

That's just too complicated. I don't have

that knowledge. Trying to find out how to

link my GoPro to Streamlabs took ages to

figure out.

Would I ever do ASMR? Aren't I doing it

now? What would it— what would I have to

do to make it officially ASMR?

What is the setup? It is the GoPro

streaming from the GoPro app on my phone

to an RTMP server which is on my laptop,

and then received on Streamlabs, and then

I press go live on Streamlabs on my

computer, and then I would go out with the

GoPro. So I don't know how I'd do

it because I would

have to press go live and then go out,

but I don't want to dox myself. So I would

have to hide the GoPro for like an hour.

The first hour would be, be nothing whilst

I get to a safe location.

I've got this remote control on my phone

so I could press go live remotely,

control my computer with my phone.

I think it'd be good because the GoPro

would be really small, which would be easy

to hold. It has good stability. I can

put it on my chest mount and it

doesn't have to be connected with the

cable, just like a charging cable.

But then I dropped into Cash Meow's

livestream for like 5 minutes just as he

was talking about the best phone for

livestreaming, and he said the Pixel 7 Pro

is the best because it doesn't lock you

out of stabilization when you stream,

which is something I'm having troubles

with. Whenever I stream with the Flip Z,

it is so shaky even though I swear I have

stabilization turned on. He said it's to

do with the chips, like the Snapdragon

chips that Samsung uses. I don't know why,

but they seem to turn off the

stabilization when you're trying to do a

live stream. But Google Pixel uses a

Tensor G2 chip made by Google.

So now I want to get that phone to test it

out.

It's only $700.

It's not too expensive for a

flagship phone. Can I use SRT?

Yeah, I heard SRT is way better. Uses 50%

less bandwidth, but I don't know how to do

it. I guess I have to set up an SRT

server. Maybe I'll try looking into it.

At least I've got a lot of burner phones

to make Tinder accounts on. I've got like

6 SIM cards as well. I guess I could make

a Tinder account using my Thailand SIM

cards in Japan. As long as I can get the

verification code. There are so many

Thailand SIM cards now. Thank you,

Daniel. I almost fainted because it was so

hot. Wow. Glad you liked it.

Maybe it's a little bit messed up to use

the SIM cards my girlfriend got me to make

a Tinder account in Japan. It's kind of

wrong, isn't it?

I don't know if I'll do Tinder.

Maybe. I just can't be bothered.

Dan isn't circumcised. Why does that

matter? When I'm erect and I roll

back the foreskin, it's basically the same

as being circumcised. And I wash it every

day, so it's clean.

I don't know why I'm so interested in IRL

streaming when I never IRL stream. Seems

kind of silly. I think in Japan things

would be different because I won't have to

hide my apartment and I won't have a

girlfriend. Japan— I also like Japan more

to walk around.

I have no motivation to go outside in

Thailand. I don't know what it is about

Thailand. It's just not pleasant.

Japan just has a nice vibe. Everything is

clean and orderly looking.

And the weather is much better apart from

summer. Spring's good in Japan. It's not

too cold, not too hot.

Oh, I feel so sick.

Well, when you're sick, you just have no

energy. Imagine I get sick before going to

Japan. What would happen? They would think

I've got COVID. Maybe this is COVID.

Do I need to do anything before going to

Japan? I've got all of the vaccine shots,

so I don't think I need to do a PCR test

because I've got the COVID NHS pass.

Do I need to make an account on some app

Imagine I get quarantined because I'm

sick.

Would I ever go to Mongolia? Nope. Never.

I would never go to Africa, Middle East,

Russia, China, South America, North

America. So basically I would never go

anywhere apart from Japan. I think

Thailand is my second favorite country

now. Definitely. South Korea used to be my

second favorite, but I never really liked

it. It was just like second best because

it's kind of like Japan. But for some

reason, South Korea, especially Seoul,

just makes me feel miserable. It's a very

robotic-looking, boring,

dull city, don't you think? Sure,

it's very futuristic and modern-looking,

but it's so lifeless

and dull. I watched Joey's vlog. He went

to South Korea, I think. A few days ago,

and he made a 72 hours in Korea vlog,

and it just reminded me of how much I hate

it. It's like Japan, but without

all the charm of Japan. It's like Japan's

older, boring brother without the

cityness.

And the whole city just looks kind of gray

and miserable looking. Everyone looks cold

and fed up. I just

don't like South Korea. Thailand is much

better. I think Bangkok has a better vibe.

It just feels more lively, like a lived-in

city instead of a city made by robots for

robots. Seoul looks like one of those

futuristic dystopian sci-fi planets like

Coruscant in Star Wars. They're very

boring looking buildings.

Plus, winter is freezing. I don't like the

food. The food just all tastes like chili

and gochujang and kimchi. Everything's

orange. Literally every single Korean dish

is orange because of that gochujang sauce.

They put that in everything. I hate

tteokbokki. It's just like a squidgy,

squidgy, stodgy carb,

little, little carb chewy thing.

There's no substance. It's just like, get

a load of rice, squish it into a roll,

and then dip it in gochujang sauce. It

tastes rubbish. I don't like— I don't

understand why people like tteokbokki.

It's like one massive lump of pasta

squished into a tube. What is

the point of it? It's got no meat in it,

it's got no nutrition, it's just like a

bunch of carbs.

People only like it because of the sauce,

but the sauce, you can just dip that on

anything. I don't like the sauce, it's so

damn spicy. Korean barbecue is okay, but I

mean, it's just meat grilled on a flame.

Obviously that would taste good.

Don't like bibimbap, it's just like a

bunch of vegetables, bean sprouts mixed

all up. Everything has the same flavor.

Kimchi, that kind of fishy, garlicky

paste. No, I don't like

Korean food. The fried chicken's good,

but again, that's just fried chicken.

Obviously it tastes good.

I wonder if white people living in Korea

experience getting denied entry to places

like in Japan. I feel like in Korea,

they're not going to freak out and get

scared of foreigners like in Japan.

After watching Aiza's subathon, I feel

kind of disappointed with Japanese people.

They're just weird, aren't they? They

freak out, they get scared. Oh,

foreigners speaking English. They're also

kind of racist, just telling him no, no,

no foreigners, Japanese only. I feel like

in Korea that wouldn't happen.

Koreans seem more open. They— Korean

people seem happier that foreigners are

coming to their country and showing an

interest in their culture. They seem more

welcoming on the surface. Korean people

seem scary because they're like tutting

and swearing all the time. They look

grumpy. But I think deep down they're more

welcoming and friendly, whereas in Japan

it's like the opposite. Japan— Japanese

people on surface level are like very

friendly looking, but it's all fake. And

deep down they're probably thinking, get

the hell away from me. I don't speak

English. I'm scared. The women literally

run away from Ice.

I can feel Ice's frustration. I would love

to see Ice in Korea. It'd be interesting

to compare the two. Maybe because

there's just not many big white YouTubers

in Korea, but I've never heard of— well,

there is that English man, but he makes

content for Korean people, not— I don't

know. He's called Yongguk Namjae. English

man. My ex used to like watching him.

That guy blew up. He's got like 10 million

Japan. It makes you realize Japanese

people are very two-faced and fake.

Korea is a westernized version of Japan.

But I wonder why. Because, hmm.

I guess it is different. America came to

Japan as conquerors and basically forced

them into submission to fall in line,

whereas Korea— America

went to Korea as friends to help them

fight the North Koreans. So it's not the

same. America didn't really bomb and

conquer South Korea into submission. So I

guess it's a different relationship.

Japan never really chose to have— I mean,

there was like the Matthew Perry thing

where they were forced to open up to

trade.

So it's like they grudgingly accepted that

they have to open up.

That they seem scared of foreigners.

They don't know how to interact with

foreigners because

they suck at English. I don't know why

they suck at English so much. It's like

they're scared of English, of talking in

English. They don't want to try or they

don't want to challenge

themselves. They just seem very

close-minded.

Would be interesting seeing ice in Korea.

I think he would have a very different

experience to Japan.

But Korea is just a miserable place. I

don't like it.

Maybe I watch too much K-drama. You notice

K-drama is always very miserable as well.

It's always like, oh, some poor woman

who's getting harassed at work and there's

like crazy stalker. And why does the bad

guy in K-drama always seem the same? He

wears like the Harry Potter glasses. He's

got the baseball cap, so he looks

mysterious. He's got the black t-shirt and

he's always kind of weird and incel-y. I

swear every K-drama has the same villain,

and then he stalks and harasses some poor

innocent woman. I'm so sick and tired of

Korean drama. My girlfriend likes it, she

puts it on, and the work in here is like

screaming Korean people.

They always just seem angry. Sad.

I don't like watching it because it makes

me feel— puts me in a bad mood.

I only like American drama. I don't like

British drama either.

I watched— we watched this movie on

Netflix. I don't know why everything we

watch seems to make me feel like she's on

to me. So this movie was about a Black

family moves into a house. There's a ghost

in the attic. They kind of become friends

with the ghost, and then the dad wants to

exploit the ghost to make YouTube videos

and become famous on YouTube. And I was

just kind of nervous thinking, this is

kind of like me. The dad gets obsessed

with going viral on YouTube so he can be

rich. But then the son wants to help the

ghost, help set him free. It's quite

a good movie. I liked it. And then this

other one we're watching called You. The

whole show is about this guy who is trying

to hide his identity from his girlfriend.

And I'm just watching it thinking, Oh

crap, this is like me. And then he stalks

the women's social media and he hides his

own identity and stuff.

Can hear someone.

All this secrecy is such a headache.

I just feel anxious all the time. If she

comes home, I better be damn quick hiding

this stuff. She already suspects I'm a

YouTuber because whenever we go out, I'm

always filming clips and stuff. And I'm

not just filming, I'm also doing like the

YouTuber thing where I talk to the camera.

Maybe if I was just filming like a clip,

normally that's the touristy thing to do.

But when someone's like narrating the

video, that's a very YouTuber thing to do.

I don't think normal people do that. So

I'm filming and I'm like, so we're in this

cave, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm

putting on— I'm doing like my thing. When

I'm filming my videos, trying to be funny

and stuff.

She's definitely suspicious that I'm a

YouTuber, especially when we went to

Vietnam. It's very vloggy the way I was

filming.

Why are you trying to hide you're a

YouTuber? Because last livestream I said

some mean things about her whole family.

I said her sister's a spoiled brat. Her

mum's a stupid idiot who doesn't

understand how to be a parent.

She'd be pretty upset with that. I mean,

her sister doesn't work and she just gets

handouts from the mum. The mum just spoils

her and gives her like $1,500 every month

for nothing and gives my girlfriend

nothing. I got kind of triggered.

I do not want my girlfriend finding out

What the mum's doing is completely

emotionally damaging,

and it's just promoting narcissistic and

lazy behavior on the sister.

I wish my mum sent me $1,000 every month.

People think my mum sends me money because

apparently people think we're rich. My mum

never sent me a penny. Okay, she'll give

me like £10 on Chinese New Year when

I was a kid, but not recently.

My dad never gave me money. The only time

my dad gave me money was when I ran out of

money and I was stuck in Taiwan and I

needed money to buy a plane ticket home.

But then I paid him back. All these

parents, how they're just giving their

kids money when they're like 30 years old.

Why can't I get some money? I don't get

anything. People think I'm rich because I

don't work and

I travel the world. What do you think I do

for money? I do YouTube, of course.

Oh, you only get 5K views. Yeah, I got 400

million views total in this month.

So obviously

I'm making some money.

What's your cover-up story to her for how

you spend your time? I just say, well,

she'll say, how was your day? What did you

do? And I'll just say nothing. I'll just

play it off. I'll just say, oh, I just

play games. Oh, I weightlifted, did

exercise, and I was planning my Japan

trip. I try not to mention Japan because I

don't want to trigger her, get her upset

I'm in contact with a Tinder employee.

Don't expect to get back on easily. What

do you mean? I've been back on Tinder,

but I get banned again after a few months.

Maybe there's some Japanese dating app I

could use instead.

How does she just let you live there and

do nothing while she works? Because I'm

paying for everything. I pay all the rent,

I pay most of the food.

Basically, it's my place. It's just in her

name because they would never rent to a

foreigner who has no visa.

They would give you some crazy price

trying to rip you off. We did go to

an apartment before where I tried to sign

up in my name. And you know how much they

charged me? Well, they tried to charge me

like $600 a month, which is more than

double what we're paying here.

Well, I can't do anything. I can't work

because I don't have a visa. How am I

going to get a job? She understands I

can't get a job because I don't have a

visa. Sometimes she does recommend things

I could do, like she said, oh, you like

gaming, you could do streaming. Already

Oh my Jesus Christ,

why is it so loud?

Yeah, I don't want my girlfriend finding

my YouTube channel because she, she would

get upset over so many things I say.

Like, you know, thinking about dumping her

and getting a Japanese girlfriend. You

think that's not gonna upset her? She'd be

so upset. She'd be broken to find out

that I'm even considering it.

She thinks that we're going to be together

forever. I think

most women only get into a relationship if

they see a long-term future.

I don't think past a week. I think I don't

really have long-term plans.

I just get myself into situations out of

luck or chance. I don't really plan

my future.

Now, any girl would be upset if they hear

what I'm talking about. There's just no

way. And this is the bulk of what I talk

about, like planning my future. Well,

trying to, trying to plan my future and

trying to think about what I want. What

kind of girls I want to bang. There's just

no way any girl would be happy with this.

But if I can't talk about it, what am I

going to talk about? This is

why Mila dumped me because she didn't like

what I talked about. I guess I could talk

about games, positive side of living in

Thailand, but it's so hard.

I need to fill 8 hours. With talking.

If you say I can't be negative, then

that's like cutting out 70% of my content.

What are you interested in other than

females? Yeah, video games, tech,

cameras, phones, stock market.

I try not to talk about the stock market

because I know you guys don't care about

it. Every time I start talking about it,

I lose like 40% of my viewers. So I've

had to train myself not to talk about it.

People just don't care.

I gotta be very careful what I talk about

when I stream because I noticed certain

topics makes my view count drop

drastically. Like when I start talking

about the evolution of whales, I think I

lost half my viewers.

So yeah, I got to know. I need to know

what you guys want me to talk about.

And that's usually girls complaining,

girlfriend stuff and money

stuff. I think you guys are interested in

money stuff, but not stock market stuff.

Like you want to hear about how broke I

am. How I'm planning to sustain

my lifestyle.

So living life on a budget, I think, is an

interesting topic.

I don't think you guys care about views.

I do talk about views a lot. What's

working, what's getting views, what's not

getting views.

I enjoy talking about the rise and fall of

YouTube channels and, you know, audience

psychology of audiences and mentality of

viewers. I like talking about that kind of

I think the idea of living cheap is

interesting because I'm

broke, so I have to be interested in it.

Otherwise I'm gonna blow all my money.

Got to take an interest in cheap living

now. Not making the big bucks anymore.

Damn, my hair looks good. Look at the

taper at the back. I didn't even look at

that to cut that. I just looked in the

mirror, twisted my head as far as I could

so I could see as much, and it just went
