[2021-12-26] Christmas 2021 in manchester [YkfUvRrEWiU]

Testing. I think it's working.

Look what I got, brand new

MacBook. Okay, so we

got to make the room Christmassy.

Ah, this stupid tripod.

Hmm, okay, so we got the Christmas tree

and I got some presents from

my mum and sister. And from myself.

And I've got some tinsel, so we got some

things to do, I guess.

Got myself an early present. Got a MacBook

Air, M1 chip,

SSD hard drive. 2 USB-C slots.

Very nice.

So I got the iPad, gaming laptop, and a

MacBook.

I've got too many laptops now,

but I need it for my job as a new— newly

professional games developer. I need a

MacBook if I want to be a games developer.

Obviously.

Oops.

Wow, look at my Christmas tree.

I got a black Christmas tree. Actually, I

don't even have to take it out the box.

Just use this picture like that. I should

just got a picture of a Christmas tree.

That would have been easier.

You know, they should just sell like a

cardboard cutout of a Christmas tree,

sell it for like £5. I bet people would

buy it. I would have bought it. I didn't

really want to get a whole Christmas tree,

I just wanted a small one, like a little

bonsai one, but they didn't have anywhere.

I looked everywhere and this was the

smallest one I could find and it's 6 foot

tall.

Nearly as tall as my dad.

I've never seen a black one though. It

just looks like a bin bag. It's like it's

been made out of bin bags.

How am I going to get rid of this when I

It's got a stand.

Okay, this is

gonna be harder than I thought it would

It's too late to set up a Christmas tree.

No, it's Christmas today.

Today is the day. Actually, just this

bit alone would be good enough. I don't

need the whole tree. I might

as well set it all up, I guess. How am I

going to get rid of this? I thought I

could cut it into pieces, but it's like

made out of metal. Yeah, it's made out of

metal. Oh, there's lights

tangled inside of it too.

Why didn't I do this last week?

Um, well, I was gonna make a Christmas

tree out of cardboard, but then I thought

it would look pretty cool if I had a real

Christmas tree. Not a real one, but like a

Actually starting to regret getting this

because then I have to get rid of it.

Maybe I should get the stand first.

Oh my God, I didn't think this would be so

I should have set this up before I started

the stream, really.

What are these for?

It's the first Christmas stream ever.

Yeah, it is actually. I've never done a

stream on Christmas Day before because

I've never been like a sad loser all on

his own before. First time for everything.

2017, I spent Christmas in Japan with

Chihiro before we got married. 2018,

spent Christmas at home with Chihiro with

my family. 2019, came back to

England with Chihiro for Christmas. And

2020, I was at Mida's house, and then

Boxing Day she dumped me. So this is the

first year ever that I've been completely

alone. I guess it's

not that weird, it's just another day.

And there's stupid kids upstairs running

up and down. All day long, I can just

hear like that. What are

their parents doing? Why don't the parents

discipline the children? If I had kids and

they're running around all day, I'd be

like, stop running around, sit down,

you're making noise.

So parents don't care. That there

might be someone living below and can hear

every footstep.

The worst thing about kids is when they

have parents like that.

Why are they just running up and down?

Stop running.

People have no consideration.

Ow, fuck, my finger

got caught in the middle.

That looks pretty good.

Boom,

boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Okay, it's a bit cozy here.

Oh, it's not too hot.

And the top piece goes

here.

Wow, look!

Ah, there's no time. Christmas is almost

What you think?

Oh no.

I'll plug in the lights.

Oh, it's on.

Why is only half of it on?

Oh, I didn't plug it in.

I should turn it off first.

Wow,

it's amazing. Oh wow, that looks pretty

Do you like it?

That looks pretty good.

I never donated to anyone on YouTube

before. You're welcome. Oh wow, thanks.

Who donated? Who's shouting?

Oh, thanks, Lug Slug. I'm also alone,

no family around. Welcome to the club.

I think the kids are leaving. Thank God.

Where'd they come from?

I'm guessing like some relatives brought

their kids to come and visit someone they

know here. Maybe they're going home.

God, they're so loud.

Jesus, uh,

give me a second until they go. I hate the

way the elevator takes such a long time to

come. People stand there waiting for ages.

Uh, thanks, Hammy Mac. My thoughts on the

transgender community.

Are they still here? Jesus Christ.

I don't really have any thoughts on them,

really. Oh,

thank God they're gone.

Paper walls. It's not really the walls

that's a problem, it's the elevator being

right outside my door and then people

talking non-stop. Can people not talk for

like 2 seconds? Okay, so there's my

Christmas tree. Should I have the lights

on or off? I mean, in the room.

Jokes aside, hope you're not feeling down

today. I don't know how I feel.

I went shopping yesterday to buy the tree

and to buy a few bits and All the

Christmas market stuff has been taken down

and people— there were quite a lot of

people still shopping yesterday. There's

like a jovial mood in the atmosphere and

it is weird because it feels like my brain

is prepping me up for something nice to

happen. It's like I'm expecting something

nice to happen even though I know

nothing's gonna happen because things just

don't really happen, do they? I mean,

I've been sitting here in Manchester for 6

months trying to make stuff happen And

even doesn't matter how hard I try, it's

like nothing changes to the point where I

just thought, I'm giving up, just stay

at home playing games all day then.

So then I came home and then there's like

this anticlimactic feeling of, well, what

now? It's like there's this jovial

atmosphere everywhere. And everyone looks

like they're having a nice time, and

that's great and everything. But then I

come home here, and then I've got nothing

planned. People keep asking me like,

"What's your plan for? What's your plans

for Christmas? What's your plans for New

Year?" I don't have any plans. Just sit

here all day doing nothing because

no one wants to spend it with me.

Look at all the new costumes I got. I got

this Japanese sailor costume, which is

very sexy. Put it on my OnlyFans.

And I got this maid cafe— maid cafe

French dress thing. Where is it? I don't

think I'm gonna wear it today. Maybe next

stream. And I got this Santa

dress. I don't know if I'll wear it,

depends if I'm in the mood. Oh no, that's

not the Santa dress, that was the last

dress. Oh, and I got this tiara.

I hate the word tiara because it reminds

me of that woman called Chiara who scammed

me in Rotterdam. That's my underwear.

Where's my black— no, where's the

Christmas one?

Looks like Mina's hair, doesn't it? I'll

put the wig on top of the Christmas tree.

Does he make money from his OnlyFans?

Well, yeah. What do you mean, do I even

make money? I've got like 100 people

signed up to my OnlyFans for

$10 each, and then they also buy my

premium content. Do you think it's a fire

hazard if I put this wig on top of the

lights. Put someone's decapitated scalp on

top of it.

You dressing up as a Japanese waifu?

Yeah. You didn't read my $5 Super Chat.

Oops. Wait, let me scroll back up.

He didn't even read my Super Chat. I, I

didn't see it. Wait, I'm scrolling.

Um, oh, I saw it. I saw it. Merry

Christmas, Daniel. Why don't you start a

TikTok? You can do live streams there. I

think you'd be really successful.

Thanks. I did start a TikTok and I was

uploading stuff, then I found out Mida had

a TikTok and I was scared I'd accidentally

find it and then like look at her TikToks

and then get all depressed missing her.

So as soon as I found out Mina had a

TikTok, I quickly deleted the app. I, I

didn't delete the account, I just deleted

the app because TikTok algorithm is

freakishly accurate.

It knows what you like. It was weird, it

started recommending me more and more

girls that look like Mina just because I

was probably spending longer, more time

looking at those girls' TikToks. And then

the algorithm must have known that and

thought, well, Daniel looks like he's

spending more time on girls that look like

this, let's show him more girls that look

like this. And they just started showing

me more of like these hippie-looking girls

with brown hair and like that, that kind

of hippie-looking outfits that Mida wears

a lot. And I was scared they're eventually

gonna realize that that's what I like and

they're going to show me meaner TikTok as

well. Oh, thanks, Slug Slug.

Someone's scalp wig on the tree. Yeah,

in honor of my ex dumping me on Boxing

Day, I shall put her scalp on my Christmas

tree. Ooh,

spooky. I should have print out a picture

of her face, put it there.

Well, at least I got you guys. Mayla tried

to make me abandon you guys.

She kept telling me to give up on YouTube.

She kept saying, let it go.

Never, never let go of my YouTube.

Ah, hold on, I need to fix this.

The annoying thing about wigs is that

it gets messier and messier and tangled

up, and it's really hard to keep tidy.

And then if you try and brush it, bits of

the hair starts falling out. Okay, that

looks nice. That looks like her eyes,

maybe. Cyborg Christmas tree

Mina. It looks

like her eyes.

Hide this one.

Wow, that looks creepy.

It looks like an anime demon. Yeah, anime

demon from Christmas.

Okay.

Oh, I should put the outfit onto it.

Where's my outfit?

Oh my God, where's this stupid strap?

There it is.

How's that? Do you think it's

dangerous putting clothing on these

lights? I think it's

Oh, I should make a branch come out so it

looks like her arms. Oh, thanks,

Hammy. Would you accept being cheated on

in order to stay in a relationship with a

girl you really liked? Uh,

I don't know, because it's like, do I want

to put up with the humiliation and the

anger of a girl cheating on me, or do I

want to become an incel and not get any

sex?

I think I would just suck it up and,

and take the humiliation for the sex

because, um,

I guess it depends which one you want

more. Do you want your self-respect or do

you want the sex? And I don't really care

about my self-respect anymore.

But then I wouldn't want to know about it.

If she wanted to cheat, then I'd be like,

okay, if you really want to cheat, I can't

stop you, but then can you at least keep

it discreet? Like, don't text him

on his— on your phone right in front of

me.

Every time a girl takes out her phone in

front of me, I always look away. I never

like looking at people's phones when

they're with me. I get jealous. I see them

chatting to other people. I'm like, why

are you chatting to other people when I'm

right here?

I find that really annoying. Does anyone

else find it really annoying when you're

hanging out with someone and then they're

like chatting to someone else? I never do

that. I never take out my phone and start

chatting to someone in front of someone

else. I think I've got pretty good manners

when it comes to the phone,

phone etiquette. I think I'm pretty good.

I don't like start. I just don't see the

point. I'm supposed to be spending time

with this person. Why would I be chatting

someone else? I find that really annoying.

Yeah, I find it disrespectful.

Okay,

the branches don't really stick out far

enough to make arms. I think that's good

enough. I'm just scared it's going to fall

over because the stand. I was supposed to

screw those metal nuts into the stand.

Make it stable, but I didn't do that.

Okay, that's my Christmas tree. I got a

Christmas card as well from my sister and

mum. I don't think I'll read it out.

That's a bit weird.

Oh, I've got so many things to do today.

We've got to make this bloody turkey as

well. And then we gotta open the presents.

Oh my God, I feel stressed out already.

Read out the card. Oh, fine.

It says my mum sent me a card as well,

which is weird. I don't know why 2 cards

came. I guess my mum sent a separate

one by herself and then my sister sent

one, but then my mum also wrote in the one

my sister sent. Maybe I shouldn't show it.

It's not really embarrassing, it just

says, dear Daniel, because you don't like

books and prefer to travel light— finally

someone knows what I don't like. Imagine

getting me a book for Christmas.

Actually, my sister did get me a book.

No, wait, my sister got me a book for my

birthday. I think it was about Steve Jobs.

It was ages ago. I read— I

don't think I read all of it. I kind of

skimmed through it.

Um, you probably have already bought the

things that you need. Here are some small

things I'm sure you don't want but could

be useful. For example, if you packed

your wallet somewhere and then couldn't

find it. Did she get me a wallet?

Maybe it's like a little buzzing thing

that tells you where your wallet is.

They're like hints, like, um, for what the

presents might be. If you went to Scotland

and then were very cold, maybe the gloves.

Why do I show personal stuff on the

internet? Because you told me to. You just

said show the card and now you ask me why

I'm showing the card. Fine, I won't show

Jesus. Okay, now the Christmas tree is

ready.

Oh, that looks nice.

Um,

how tall am I? I am 5 foot 9. I got these.

You put them in your shoe and it makes you

1 inch taller, so I can

get to about 5 foot 10 if

I put these in. But then it's kind of hard

to walk. I nearly twisted my ankle walking

because it's like having heels on. My, my

foot just went like sideways. I don't know

how girls do it when they wear those high

heels. How do they not injure themselves

and get a twisted ankle? And if it

rains and it's slippery outside, that's so

But they do make me a bit taller, which is

I thought you were 6 foot 2. No, 1 inch

isn't going to make much difference. It

actually does. I felt so much taller with

them in. I was towering above all these

other people in the train. I felt huge

wearing those little insert things.

Why is Daniel in Manchester not with his

family for Christmas? Because I'm on

special business where I have to be

here for my special company work. Can you

imagine that?

Do I think 6'4 is tall? Yeah, 6'4 is huge.

That's like 190— that's nearly 200

centimeters. That'll be almost a

whole head and a half taller than me.

Okay, so I think I'm gonna prepare the

turkey first, and then whilst it's

cooking, then we can open the presents.

Oh no, I got a present that is gonna help

with cooking, so maybe I should open that

first. Trying to

think. Oh, I also got another present I

need to open now, so I'll open my one

maybe.

Yeah, okay,

whatever.

Where's my knife?

Did I get anything from my family? Yeah,

they sent me these.

It better be the new iPhone.

I'll read out the other card. It says,

um, dear Daniel, I miss you so much.

I really love you and I regret breaking up

with you. I hope we can get back together.

From Mila. Oh my God. She sent

me a Christmas card declaring her love for

me, and she says everything that went

wrong, it was all her fault, and she's

really sorry, and I didn't do anything

wrong, and she regrets not

being with me anymore.

Well, too late now. I've moved on. Sorry,

this ship has sailed. I gave you many

chances.

Oh look, another card! It says, dear

Daniel, I really miss you and I still love

you, from Chihiro.

What a lucky day!

Look what I got for myself for Christmas.

I got this Cleaver.

Look at that professional

cleaver from Kitchen Craft.

World of flavors.

All my exes want me back because

I've been a good boy.

Wow, that's really sharp.

Jesus. Is it really sharp,

or is it just because it's heavy? I always

wanted a cleaver. No one ever got me a

I always kind of thought, is a cleaver

better than a knife because it doesn't

have the pointed tip? But then when I

think about it, I never use the pointed

tip apart from doing stuff like this.

When you're cooking, do you ever stab

things? I don't.

You know what would solve all those knife

crimes in London? Why don't they just stop

selling knives that have a pointed tip? I

really don't understand why they make

knives like this. The only point having a

pointed tip is to stab stuff, and the main

way people are dying from knife attacks is

from stabbing, isn't it? So why don't they

just get rid of it? Imagine the only

knives that were for sale were these.

It's like the Chinese gang wars in GTA,

running around with cleavers. I mean, you

could still hack someone, but you're more

likely to survive a hacking than a

stabbing. If you get stabbed in a vital

organ, you're finished. Or you get a vital

artery slashed. This isn't really going to

reach a vital artery unless you really

hatch it down.

If I was Prime Minister, I would ban

pointy knives. I reckon you'd

see the knife crime fatalities plummet

like a bucket in the ocean.

People are going to start protesting, oh,

we need the pointy tip on the knife, it's

so important.

Genius. You can hack someone

someone's hand. Yeah, but you're more

likely to survive a hacking than a

stabbing, I think, because in self-defense

you would instinctively raise your arm.

You might just get like a hatchet in the

arm, you'd bleed a bit, but it's not going

to penetrate you deeply.

And my second gift is a Swicket.

Oh, a USB-C cable! I always wanted one of

these. Wow, thanks so much.

Now I can livestream without running out

of battery anywhere in the apartment.

Wow, wow, USB-C cable! My favorite

gift.

Okay, so that's— oh, where's my Christmas

hat? I did buy a Christmas

hat. Where is it?

I thought it'd be in that box. Maybe it is

in the box.

It's not in the box.

This is the Christmas dress.

Let me check my Amazon orders because I

definitely ordered a Christmas Santa hat.

Oh, my Christmas is going to be ruined if

they didn't send it. Please do a book

signing tour. I don't have a book.

I should write a book. People might buy

it.

Where's my Christmas hat? Oh no,

it looks like I didn't buy it. What?

I swear I added it to basket and I pressed

order.

That's so weird.

Now my Christmas won't look Christmassy

That's so strange. Maybe they ran out of

stock and they didn't send it to me.

Oh, make a hat? How?

Wow, this is nice present. Premium steel.

It's quite sharp.

That'll be good for cooking. I don't

know if I want to do the whole dressing up

as a girl thing this stream. I kind of

lost interest in it now. I was really

enjoying it the last stream, and I kind of

got a bit carried away and bought a load

of outfits. Now I'm not really interested

in it anymore. Oh, thanks, Jade. You still

get to spend Christmas with who you love

most. You Yes, my favorite person in the

whole world, myself.

I might try it on, I guess. Why not?

It's a

bit small.

What's your plan for Boxing Day?

Get dumped again. One-year anniversary

getting dumped. God, this is so tight.

I don't know why I got this. It's way too

small for me. What? It doesn't

even cover my crotch.

Is this for children or something? This is

way too small.

And I've got an apron.

Get your cooking outfit on.

It's really hard to tie this from behind.

It's like my apron.

Um, okay, so how should I do this? I want

the Christmas tree to be in the shot, and

I want the— I want myself and the turkey

to be in the shot. How do I do this?

I was hoping to have a Christmas hat, but

I don't have— oh, maybe there's one in

the, in the Christmas crackers. I got this

box of Christmas crackers.

I'll pull, pull one, see if it's got a

party hat in it.

Oh, it does. Blue. I don't want blue.

Also, it's got a ruler.

Look, it's 8 centimeters, almost as big

as my— what are you gonna do with this

ruler? You can measure up to 3

inches. Stupid thing. I want a

Purple. What's this one?

A little calendar.

So useful.

Yellow. It won't give me a pink one.

Okay, I've got some jokes.

Which of Santa's reindeer has bad manners?

Rudolph.

What carol is heard in the desert?

O camel, ye faithful.

Rubbish, rubbish, isn't it?

I don't think yellow is nice. What about

purple?

My head's too big.

Wow,

that looks great.

I think I won't wear it.

That ruined my hair.

Yeah, no Christmas hats.

Okay, so I think this angle— that angle's

quite good. Okay, I'll get the turkey,

show you what one I got.

And got some seasoning,

some thyme,

sage,

garlic powder. Sea salt.

It's a medium turkey crown,

costs £14. I can't believe this thing

costs £14. You can get a chicken around

the same size for £5.

I could put it here, couldn't I?

My Christmas card there.

Turkeys are a rip-off. Yeah, they're just

like chicken. There's not really much

difference, is there?

I'm not sure how to do this.

Maybe like this.

Maybe like this.

What's this?

Strangulation.

Ooh,

Christmassy.

I think I'll do it like this. Yeah, this

is easier.

Oh wow, look how sharp it is.

I accidentally cut it. I didn't think the

cleaver was so sharp.

It smells a bit weird. Oh,

oh, what's that?

Ah.

It's all slimy.

Oh, I don't want to touch it. Oh,

I want

to do

that thing, you know, when they make

crispy duck, Chinese crispy duck, don't

they separate the skin from the meat? I

don't know why that makes it crispy.

Ah,

why does it look weird, like, uh,

strawberry shape?

My fingers are covered in slime.

Oh, thank you, Sniffas Slimy Chicken.

It's a turkey. Turn it upside down. I

accidentally cooked my, my chicken upside

down last time, but then it made the

breast kind of moist and it wasn't dried

out. Maybe that's a good idea. How are you

gonna eat all that? It's gonna take me

like a week to eat all of it.

Um, if I had a little table, that'd be

nice. This one's a bit too high.

Where's my kitchen table? It's up there,

but it's too high up.

What seasoning? I've got sage, garlic

powder, thyme, because I can't be bothered

chopping the thyme again, and I got sage

and salt. That's good enough, isn't it?

I need— oh, I can put it on here.

That's pretty good. That looks good.

Yeah, nice angle. Okay,

so first we spray on the oil so seasoning

sticks. This is my special recipe

that I am just making up on the spot.

This will make it crispier.

Oh, oh, it's like a big

hollow space and you press the skin and

it moves. Look.

What's that? Is that its

anus?

Okay, now I think I'll start with time.

Hope you took the gizzard bag out.

What? What gizzard bag?

I don't think there's a gizzard bag.

I don't like it, it's scary. What's in

there? Doesn't look like there's anything

in there. Can you see?

What's that? Oh,

that's its spine.

I need to wash my hands again.

Okay, now should

be a neck. There's no neck either. I don't

think there's a gizzard bag or anything in

there. Okay, put the time on.

Is that enough thyme?

Oh, it smells nice. It smells like those

Walkers roast chicken flavor crisps.

Should I put sage as well?

Sage, perfect with pork. I don't

think I need sage and thyme.

Okay, next I'll put garlic granules.

Doesn't matter what you put on the skin.

It does, because then it makes the skin

all delicious and seasoned. You eat the

skin with the meat. Who only

eats the meat without the skin? Every time

you cut a piece of meat off, it's going to

have like a bit of the skin on it.

Garlic.

And then I need salt.

Well, it's pretty easy. It took like 2

minutes to prep this.

I hate it when your hand's wet, you can't

grind the salt grinder.

Put rosemary. I wanted to get rosemary,

but I forgot.

Shouldn't he wash the chicken? No, it's a

turkey. You don't need to wash meat before

you cook it. It's gonna cook in

an oven at 200 degrees for over an hour.

What kind of bacteria do you think is

gonna survive that? If there's

any bacteria that's gonna survive 200

degrees in an oven for over an hour, then

I don't think just washing is gonna get

rid of it in the first place.

Okay, now I need veg. Vegetables.

I got your favorite Brussels sprouts

and parsnips.

Uh, Brussels sprouts,

parsley.

I might need a chopping board.

Whoa, did you see that?

I don't even need a chopping board.

I think I need my chopping board.

The power you get from a cleaver.

Is pretty nice.

Watch this.

Oh, I missed.

That feels so good.

Brussels take less than 25 to cook.

Chicken is like 2 hours. Are you sure?

You're saying I have to cook the chicken

and then add the stuff afterwards? What

kind of cooking is that?

Whoa. I don't want to put

things in separately. It's supposed to be

easy. That's why I got an oven.

But last time when I made the chicken, I

put the parsnips in together and they all

cooked at the same time. No,

it'll cook at the same time. It'll be

fine. And if the vegetables do start

burning, I can take them out and then put

the chicken— I mean, the turkey— back in.

I know what I'm doing.

Do you think my neighbors can

hear me?

I think that's enough parsnips.

There's hair

all over it. I didn't clean the floor

recently and there's just like balls of

dust rolling around. Remember in the

Rotterdam stream, people were saying

there's a ghost rat? It was just a big

ball of dust and hair because I wasn't

cleaning the floor. Wow, that looks pretty

good, don't you think?

And then I put more oil because we need to

season the vegetables.

Okay,

it's raining salt,

and then maybe some sage.

Sprinkling vegetables onto vegetables.

And that is how you make Christmas dinner.

Look at that. Let me

take a picture.

Why are my trousers falling down?

Nice. Wait, I can't really use this

picture, so if I show it to girls to try

and impress them with my cooking skills,

they'll say Why, why do you cook in front

of a mirror? I have to make it look a bit

less weird. Maybe let's just

take it up here.

My shadow keeps blocking the light.

It just doesn't look very good.

Look, it's like a big mountain of

meat. It doesn't even look like a turkey.

Where are the legs? It doesn't look

anything like a turkey.

Hmm.

Ah, whatever. That'll do.

Oh my God, that's heavy.

Okay, that will go in for,

um, 1 hour maybe.

Ah, look at this mess.

Oh, I hate that

noise.

And I got this bottle

of wine. I got the finest

Pinot Grigio from California.

That's not very European.

Crisp and full of citrus and peach fibers.

Goes well with chicken, seafood, spicy

pasta, and pizza. I have to call it

Barefoot. I don't really want to be

reminded that wine is made— well, it's

probably not made like that now, but it

was traditionally made by people stamping

in it with their bare feet. Don't really

want to be reminded of that.

A hint of foot fungus. Do you think

there's fungus in it?

I don't know.

I got a glass as well.

A singular wine glass from Wilkinson,

60p.

Very fancy.

Oh wow, thanks, Jay. Did get wasted.

I was thinking about it. I'm just scared

what happened because last time I drank a

lot, I started crying, had a mental

breakdown. Place your bets.

Who will I start crying about? This time,

this is the best mukbang setup on all of

YouTube.

You should have seen me when I was at that

girl's house drinking the vodka. I got so

drunk, I was lying on the ground and I was

just— I started sniffing. And then she

came over to me and she said, Daniel, are

you crying? And I said I feel so bad about

Mina. I forgot what I said.

It feels like that was ages ago now.

Better than Ben Dean.

Do you remember my Ben Dean feud when

I kept saying I was better than him? Him,

and then people thought I was being

serious.

At least they don't make the bottles with

a cork anymore. I hate it when they made

the lid a cork and then you needed to like

pull out the cork. Put the wig on.

I need to get my rocks off. No,

my family, my watching. I'll put the wig

here. It's the spirit of

Christmas meter.

Let me give that— give it a smell.

Mmm, the finest grapes

from the vineyards of California.

I didn't know this was American. It seems

kind of cheap, doesn't it? American wine.

You're supposed to get French wine or

Spanish, maybe.

Maybe it's not a good idea to drink now

because I haven't eaten food yet.

Tastes like juice.

It's okay,

I guess. It's not very winey.

Okay, I'll open another cracker.

Didn't crack.

I got dice! Wow,

it's made— it's not even a real dice,

it's made out of cardboard. That's a

cardboard dice. Oh my God, they're so

cheap they couldn't even put like a

5-penny made-in-China plastic dice.

4. Oh, 3.

If I get a 6, it means I win.

6! Oh, look at that!

I win.

Not really a big fan of this wine.

I feel like Prosecco would be a bit

better.

Okay, we can open one of my presents.

I'll open this one.

This is not a very good setup.

Why not red wine? I thought white wine

would be better with turkey.

I thought red wine is for beef.

And what else? Pork?

I don't really know.

Get sake. I don't like sake.

Sake. Sake is like the most difficult to

pronounce Japanese word in English.

You just end up saying sake or sake, and

then you try and pronounce it in Japanese

and you just sound like a twat. Sake or

sake. Sake. It sounds like you're saying

suck it the whole time. It's not a nice

word to have to say ever unless you're

speaking Japanese, not English.

Okay, my first present.

What's this? Alcohol?

Oh wow, it's whiskey!

Scotch whiskey! Oh wow,

Amal Sassi sent me 250 AEDs.

What's that? Wow, that's so

kind. I am blessed and

honored. I never heard of AED though.

Australian— Austrian European

dollars. Authentic Ethiopian

dollars. Dubai money. Someone messaged me

saying that I should come to Dubai and

then we could like do cool stuff.

I never really thought about Dubai before.

It does look quite interesting as a

country, very extravagant buildings

and stuff, and they all do jet skiing and

water diving. I don't know, it seems like

the people in Dubai, they, they drive

Ferraris and then do skydiving every day.

Wow, I got this nice gift. I didn't know

that, um, people would know that I liked

whiskey because there was a time when—

remember when I was in Japan, I kept

streaming and I was drinking whiskey all

the time? Do you know why I was doing

that? Because bloody PewDiePie kept going

on about whiskey, and I watched PewDiePie

a lot. And then if PewDiePie's doing it,

I don't know why I haven't bought a knife

to start flicking around yet. But it's

around the same time PewDiePie was really

into whiskey, and I think it kind of got

into my self-conscious.

Who got me whiskey? I'm guessing it's my

sister's idea.

MacLeod's single malt Scotch whiskey.

How come she knows that I'm gonna go to

Scotland? Did I tell her? I think I did

tell her. That I'm gonna go to Scotland.

I wish I had another glass.

PewDiePie is sober now. Yeah, he doesn't

drink anymore, does he?

He doesn't do his vape either. I don't

want to ruin the box.

Remember I used to buy the Suntory whiskey

in the flask, the whiskey flask in Japan?

I used to sit there sipping it on my

8-hour live streams.

40% alcohol. Jesus. Oh,

it's 3 different types of whiskey.

It's got Speyside Wait,

it says on the back Speyside single

malt. I don't know what malt means. Islay

single malt, Highland single malt,

product of Scotland.

How do I open it?

What is whiskey made out of? Isn't it made

out of barley? Some kind of grain.

Mix it with the wine. Why didn't I go

home for Christmas? Because, because I

paid for this place for 6 months, and then

if I go home, I'll— I won't feel like

coming back, to be honest. I, I think if I

did go home, I just would stay home. I

wouldn't bother coming all way back, cuz

why would I bother to come all the way

back to Manchester?

I'm leaving this place at the end of

January anyway, so it seems silly to go

all the way back down to Kent, come all

the way back here, and I'd probably stay

at home for like a few days at least for

Christmas. I wouldn't just go for

Christmas and leave the next day. So then

I have to come back here anyway and then

pack all my stuff and then get ready to

move out. Go to my next place.

I'll probably end up going home around

March, maybe,

cuz I really want to go to Scotland. I've

never been there and it looks nice. I

looked at Google Maps. And the, the city

of Edinburgh looks pretty nice,

and I want to take that sleeper train.

Am I videoing my journey to my new place?

I'm not going to get a new place, I don't

think. I'm just gonna get a hotel in

Scotland and then stay a few weeks.

Be a tourist, and then I'll probably

come go back home to Kent until,

until Japan. Actually, I want to go to

Greece still. Might still go to

Greece. That's still on my mind. And then

hopefully Japan will open soon, and then I

can finally get back to Japan.

Open this.

You care about the city, don't you? Just

want cereal. Well, yeah, in an ideal world

I would arrive and then cereal will be

available, but I've kind of given up on

that since coming to Manchester.

Unfortunately That's

not what happens.

Edinburgh Castle looks nice.

Oh, that sounds bad. Where are my

scissors?

I think my sleeper train video could go

viral. 1 million views. Chris Broad

did a sleeper train video and he got 4

million views, and it's just him and

Natsuki. Sitting in there on the bed

eating snacks. I can do that. I'll get 4

million views, my channel will come back

to life, then I'll be famous again, and

then we can travel the world.

Springboarded off my Caledonian Scottish

train video.

Oh, let's see what this smells like.

Oh wow, the smell reminds me of Japan so

much. So I never really drank

whiskey apart from that one time in Japan

in 2019,

and now every time I smell whiskey, it

just reminds me of Japan so much.

It's so weird. The way that having—

experiencing a taste or smell for the

first time reminds you of that place that

you smelt it for the first time in. That

was such a badly constructed sentence.

Oh wow, it just reminds me when I was

married. I'm just like getting déjà vu

from all the fighting with Chihiro.

Those 8-hour livestreams I used to do,

moaning for the whole stream, and then

she'd come home and beat me. She came home

and she'd hit me and shout at me. She'd be

really angry because I probably said

something during the whole 8 hours that

upset her, and some stupid hater probably

clipped it and was DMing it to her. So I

couldn't get away with saying anything,

even if it was just like 1 second in the

whole 8-hour stream. She would find out

about it.

I was getting to a point where I had

anxiety when she'd come home. I'd be, oh

no, I'd be like, oh no, is she angry

again?

So I had Japanese whiskey. This is

Scottish whiskey. I don't know if it's

going to taste any different.

This is 40% alcohol. You could probably

set this on fire and it'll just burn.

Oh Jesus,

that's so strong.

I can barely sip this.

It's gonna take me like a month to drink

one little bottle. That's so

strong. Maybe I should mix it

with Coca-Cola or something.

I can chug that. Yeah, right,

40%. I should be careful getting

drunk already.

The turkey's probably

done. I really don't think so.

It looks the same as when I put it in.

Okay, so I don't know how long it's gonna

take me to drink all this. We're gonna

have to mix it with something because it's

pretty strong.

I like the box. The box is very well

presented. 100 years ago,

clansman Ian MacLeod embarked on

a journey of discovery. A journey of

discovery? He just got drunk, didn't he?

Journey of discovery that would take him

over the sea from his native Isle of Skye,

up the hills and down through the glens of

Scotland. It was his quest to explore the

rich variety of tastes and aromas to be

found in the whiskies from different

regions.

It sounds like he just goes from place to

place getting drunk.

Islay single malt Scotch whisky is robust,

seaweedy, and intensely peaty.

The flavor is immense, which notes— with

notes of oak, peat smoke, and sea salt.

Speyside whisky ranks among the finest of

all whiskies. It has recognizable

character, butterscotch, and rich oak on

the palate. It reveals its true

complexity, leaving a dry and floral

finish. This one

The typical characteristics of the region:

elegance, complexity, with a subtle dry

smokiness. What one did I have?

Speyside.

Dry and floral finish. It will taste the

same to me, really. I can't tell the

The Anime Man hates Daniel. What are you

talking about? He would never hate a

fellow YouTuber.

Can you imagine me being on Trash Taste?

I can't even imagine what it'd be like. I

think I'd just be really shy and not

really say much. I'd just be— I'd be

sitting there and not saying anything

whilst there will laughing and joking

about stuff, and then I would never

interject into the conversation unless

they asked me directly something. I'd be

sitting there like a weirdo, and then I'd

come back from it and then do my own

stream and say, it was so rubbish, they

never even talked to me, they just ignored

me, it was so humiliating.

It would be so difficult saying— it would

be so difficult getting a word in because

they're so talkative and loud. I really

struggle just like interrupting people and

speaking over people. You know, you have

to kind of like fight to get your word in

in that kind of situation. You can't just

sit there waiting for your opportunity to

speak. You just got to like talk over them

and cut in. I always struggled with that.

What did Adam say to his wife on the day

before Christmas? Is Christmas—

it's Christmas Eve. So lame.

Check my turkey.

That's gonna take forever. I don't even

know how long it's been in there. I forgot

to start the timer. Does anyone know which

one do I like the best of the 3? Well,

from Trash Taste, I like Connor.

Connor always has like the wittiest,

funniest comments, and his voice and his

accent helps a lot to make it funnier.

He could say exactly the same thing the

other 2 say, but just because he has like

that really posh sounding English accent,

it makes it sound funnier for some reason.

Like, Colossal Is Crazy had that effect.

Sometimes he really sounds like Colossal

Is Crazy. I'd love to see Colossal and

Connor talk to

each other. Gantz is annoying. Yeah, he is

a bit. I hate the way he laughs. He laughs

like a 10-year-old. The way he laughs is

just really annoying.

23 minutes since you started the turkey.

Okay, so another hour maybe.

30 minutes per kg. I forgot

how many kgs I've got.

We can open another present, maybe.

Why not?

Is YouTube still your hobby, or is it more

like a job now?

I feel like it's still like a job. I mean,

it's still like a hobby that is also a

It's a bit of both.

The problem

is I can't really grow the channel much by

doing it as a hobby because the kind of

content I want to make is just not very

palatable. It's just not really
