  Hello, welcome to another episode of the Christian Reef
• 0:04
  podcast. We have Mr. Dutch deals, back on
• 0:08
  the show. How you doing my friend?
• 0:11
  I am doing great good, their goats very good.
• 0:16
  Xhakum, Alan, ready to rock and roll.
• 0:17
  Okay, what is that? Exactly.
• 0:20
  It's literally just chocolate. Milk nice.
• 0:24
  But it's like, like Rich. So now, the little little
• 0:28
  cartons so you don't you don't get too much.
• 0:31
  Yeah, I know. Perfect amount.
• 0:34
  Do you know what, that reminds me?
• 0:36
  I mean, is partially related. But when I was living in North
• 0:39
  living, when I visited the Czech Republic, very briefly one time
• 0:43
  in New Year's, by the way, if you can, when things go back to
• 0:46
  normal, go to the Czech Republic, go to Prague, it's
• 0:49
  absolutely incredible. anyway, I was there and a friend of mine
• 0:53
  brought me to some sort of I don't know, like a coffee place.
• 0:58
  It was like a really fancy place, very beautiful
• 1:00
  architecture from like the 1800s or something.
• 1:03
  Very beautiful place and we were all just sitting there having
• 1:06
  coffee and stuff and, you know, just chilling and smoking, which
• 1:10
  was weird because, you know, it's still as far as I'm aware
• 1:14
  legal to smoke indoors there, whereas, you know, it wasn't and
• 1:18
  still isn't in the UK. But anyway, it was, it wasn't
• 1:21
  the UK like but it was ages ago. Yeah, that's what I mean.
• 1:24
  Like, it's thank you. Fucking with us and I wasn't it
• 1:27
  22. 2007 was when it got bad. That's how long ago did I - 7
• 1:32
  2007? Yes, yikes.
• 1:36
  Wait. So three years after I was born,
• 1:39
  it was still legal to smoke Jesus.
• 1:42
  You're young. Oh my God.
• 1:45
  God! You're making me feel old now,
• 1:46
  you would. And I was in.
• 1:49
  I was in high school when you were born.
• 1:54
  All right. Wait wait, wait to deflate my
• 1:56
  balloon and make me feel so old Jesus.
• 2:00
  Anyway, let me get to the story. Let me get to the story.
• 2:02
  I don't even know how I happen to think.
• 2:04
  I've come quite a long way, Sam. I'm 16.
• 2:08
  I've got like that. Yeah, over 100 subscribers and
• 2:11
  you've got no offense, but you don't know shit.
• 2:14
  When you're 16, because believe me, I thought I knew everything.
• 2:16
  When I was 16 and I still don't know everything. 27, you never
• 2:20
  know anything, you just know a slight bit.
• 2:23
  Needed before but trust me when you when you're a teenager you
• 2:25
  don't know shit who says, I know everything, I just know some
• 2:29
  stuff, some some, some some stuff, but trust me life and
• 2:36
  pedis compared to you, nothing. Really do I know.
• 2:39
  Dude that's why I'm saying. I know jack shit, even though
• 2:42
  I'm 27, I'm older I've lived life.
• 2:44
  Trust me, you never know it all, you know, like naught point one
• 2:50
  percent of what there is to know and that's always how it will
• 2:52
  be. You know?
• 2:53
  And that's the best thing to do is just keep your mind open.
• 2:56
  Keep learning. Keep, you know, all that jazz.
• 2:58
  But anyway, back to the story. Why I brought up in the first
• 3:02
  place was I was in this coffee place, we were having this hot
• 3:06
  chocolate and obviously hot chocolate is not really a big
• 3:09
  deal because, you know, everyone has hot chocolate.
• 3:11
  It's great. We love it.
• 3:12
  But in Europe and particularly the Czech Republic, they have
• 3:15
  this like liquidated liquid chocolate essentially so it's
• 3:19
  not really hot. Chocolate is just liquid
• 3:21
  chocolate and it's the Best thing ever like similar what
• 3:27
  this is because you can have it hot or cold.
• 3:30
  Like you can put it in the fridge or you can.
• 3:32
  I mean, I guess you could put it in the microwave but this like
• 3:35
  it's like in a cafe. You can ask for one am shocked
• 3:39
  on my land. That is basically this but the
• 3:41
  hot chocolate version of it. It's amazing.
• 3:44
  We cream. It's the best someone if you
• 3:47
  rather rather than those like Dinky Dinky little sachets used
• 3:50
  to get back in England. Yeah.
• 3:53
  I mean they they just treat us that how does how the hot
• 3:56
  chocolate is. What I've always thought that
• 3:58
  we've got this shit end of this product side of things.
• 4:02
  Yeah, no seriously. Like every time I go on holiday
• 4:04
  anyway, in Europe in America especially like I always look
• 4:07
  come back to England and go. It's not that we don't have
• 4:10
  anything. It's that we have a very limited
• 4:12
  Supply and the stuff that we are given isn't the best.
• 4:15
  It's like, yeah. You know, like if you look at
• 4:18
  like the American stuff that you can buy in stores here in
• 4:21
  England, as, you know, So right, but it doesn't even skim the
• 4:24
  surface of the good stuff that's available in America.
• 4:27
  We've got live. But if you want, if you want to
• 4:28
  make yourself feel better over here in Europe, we have nothing
• 4:32
  to do with Walkers will have layers.
• 4:35
  Yeah. But like layers of snow one
• 4:36
  penny. It's the same fucking crisps.
• 4:39
  We. And we also don't have anything
• 4:41
  Cadbury's. We don't have Crunchies.
• 4:43
  We don't know who dimed bars. We don't have big, massive, have
• 4:46
  rebars Do you mean daim bars? Then bars, I think we kind of
• 4:51
  have them bars but you have to wait a lot of those.
• 4:55
  I don't think that cadburys. To be honest Cadbury stop being
• 4:58
  Cadbury's when craft bought it. So I don't think it's really
• 5:00
  you're not missing anything there.
• 5:02
  I mean, the chocolate they make now is just abysmal.
• 5:05
  It's not what it was because it's not English around anymore.
• 5:08
  Like we have to either go to England to get them.
• 5:14
  We have to look very specifically Bowl Cadbury's,
• 5:19
  Creme eggs, when we yeah, none of those here.
• 5:24
  Either that's a shame that actually is a show of his very
• 5:27
  little When I was a kid, my migrate Nan who I was lucky
• 5:32
  enough to me, used to buy me cream eggs and I have this
• 5:36
  distinct memory of sitting on her like living room floor with
• 5:42
  cream eggs just being discussed in and licking out the cream
• 5:45
  like that like some sort of searching but it was amazing.
• 5:48
  I do it all over again, baby. There's amazing that you either.
• 5:51
  You either love them or hate them and sort of how can you
• 5:54
  hate them? What it's not Mom.
• 5:55
  I was amazed, don't like it. I don't know.
• 5:59
  Sacral that you're not British. I've yeah, it's good thing.
• 6:02
  Your and what rubbish? Yeah, I revoke your British
• 6:05
  pass, I revoke it. You're no longer British.
• 6:07
  You're gonna take it. I don't live there anymore.
• 6:10
  That's a good question. Do you think you'll ever come
• 6:12
  back? I think I'll visit but I don't
• 6:16
  think I'll stay longer than a couple of weeks at a time.
• 6:21
  I mean, you're a young guy. Do you think that your travel a
• 6:25
  lot? Because, I mean, I'm 27 now,
• 6:27
  right? Yes, I've lived abroad and I can
• 6:29
  tell you that. I want to be in England for a
• 6:33
  little bit just because I've been away from home for so long.
• 6:35
  But in my mind I'm constantly thinking I should go and leave
• 6:39
  this place for a couple of years.
• 6:41
  I should go live here. I should get Jin and I mean like
• 6:43
  because it's like you do it, do it while you're young much as
• 6:46
  much as a sort of bulk of their fun at my daddy is very wise
• 6:51
  because he told me that before you do anything to do with
• 6:55
  family, you need to travel, you need to see places.
• 6:58
  Yes. Because it has many places as
• 7:00
  possible. Double, I don't think I'll see
• 7:02
  the whole world but obviously means you just, yeah, I mean you
• 7:05
  can pretty much I can pretty much cross out the United
• 7:07
  States. Sorry.
• 7:08
  For any American viewers watching, why'd you say that?
• 7:14
  It's just, I don't, I'm not mad, I'm not really that big of a fan
• 7:17
  of the United States. Okay, tell tell, tell me more
• 7:21
  tell me this is good. This is good places.
• 7:23
  You can see like the Grand Canyon dude, balls places.
• 7:27
  Like that. Like, tourist attraction, be
• 7:29
  sure that Niagara Falls is Canada, is It's not a false kind
• 7:33
  of that. I'm pretty sure is.
• 7:34
  Yeah. Oh yeah, it is.
• 7:36
  But that's still North America. So after no, it's not kind of do
• 7:40
  is all thinking different continent and country.
• 7:42
  North America is Canada. And the United States of
• 7:45
  America. Did you learn nothing of your
• 7:48
  America's here. Canada is here.
• 7:51
  That's not how that works. Not America is a continent.
• 7:55
  Canada is known as North America and South America, South
• 7:59
  America. Yeah.
• 8:00
  Yeah. Shell that kind.
• 8:01
  Yeah. But dude, you're forgetting
• 8:02
  about what's above fucking North America.
• 8:04
  Alaska Canada. Are you dumb?
• 8:08
  All right, I'm going to give you a lesson.
• 8:10
  So, a key, North America. North America is a continent
• 8:13
  which contains the United States of America and Canada.
• 8:16
  Alaska is some sort of weird u.s. today, I'm going to well,
• 8:21
  the left them get prepared to say that you're right.
• 8:36
  My dad. Canada is a separate country,
• 8:47
  but it's in the same condom. If I wasn't disputing that it's
• 8:53
  not in the same vicinity, I'm saying that it's a No-No.
• 8:57
  What you said? What you said?
• 8:59
  What you said is that it's part of North America which is
• 9:02
  fucking bollocks. No.
• 9:03
  It is part of not Canada's part of North America.
• 9:06
  Is that bomb? North America?
• 9:07
  North America is a continent. You dunce countries are evolving
• 9:11
  is together, right? Solo, I'm looking at the map
• 9:15
  right now. You've got Alaska to the far
• 9:17
  left, so yeah. I'm going to take my dad's
• 9:22
  advice. I'm going to stop arguing
• 9:23
  because it's pointless because I'm right stop that.
• 9:27
  So I'll ask us to the far left. And you've got Alaska is the
• 9:30
  United States but it's for some reason up to the northwest of
• 9:35
  Canada. It's still the US. that's
• 9:43
  interesting to me and it's considered under the same and I
• 9:48
  get it because it's like connected like on physically on
• 9:51
  the same continent, but it's just like, That's interesting to
• 9:56
  me. I don't think you're do.
• 10:00
  You still think you're right? Or let me know, because the
• 10:04
  thing the thing to me is I don't really give a shit about being
• 10:06
  right or wrong. It to me, it's more like
• 10:09
  interesting how people classify things because I'm just
• 10:11
  surprised he didn't know. It really what I like.
• 10:14
  I know that it's connected to each other.
• 10:16
  Obviously I know it's one whole thing.
• 10:18
  I want saying, what I was disputing right, is that it's
• 10:22
  classified under like as part of America, like I thought, that's
• 10:27
  what we were having an argument about.
• 10:29
  So know what I was when I was six Because it's like a separate
• 10:33
  Province. Same with the last get is it is
• 10:36
  a bit weird how late it is. A bit weird hearing.
• 10:38
  That Canada is part of North America, but just need to
• 10:43
  remember that North America's the continent, which contains
• 10:47
  the US of a and think, I think why?
• 10:48
  I was disputing it is because okay, you've got South America,
• 10:52
  which if you look at the map, everything is all connected,
• 10:56
  right? It won't let me so connected,
• 10:59
  right? So like South America, like Ike.
• 11:04
  There's loads of seeing between sort of like Mexico and then I
• 11:10
  really Raziel ones and all of these areas, but you see like
• 11:14
  it's all kind of connected, but it's okay, that's considered
• 11:16
  self America, right? Anything below.
• 11:19
  North America. But you can see Mexico obviously
• 11:21
  borders with United States but then, I don't know, is Mexico
• 11:25
  considered part of North America, or is it considered
• 11:27
  South America? And I need to download a world
• 11:31
  map because I really can't see. And I need to zoom.
• 11:36
  But that even the can I put images in this Zoom thing?
• 11:40
  We could because you could bring up an image but I'd like to be
• 11:43
  but don't even know how download?
• 11:46
  Well, I've never, I've never tried, never tried to put to put
• 11:51
  that images in here before getting somewhere at least share
• 11:56
  screen. No.
• 11:59
  Not just bringing up a Twitter feed exit, full screen.
• 12:02
  Now you go. So now I can bring you here And
• 12:06
  then go to my documents that. Okay, well, man also, But anyway
• 12:17
  okay, there we go. I brought it up.
• 12:19
  So the United States of America oh, Mexico is messy part of the
• 12:25
  new. See what I'm just going to see
• 12:26
  what I'm saying now because it's like it's not all strictly
• 12:29
  speaking. The Mexico is part of North
• 12:34
  America as well. Yes it's just and then what
• 12:38
  Marla and Honduras and Jamaica Cuba there, there South America.
• 12:45
  So Mexico is basically the border.
• 12:48
  So yeah, yeah, I get that, I get that.
• 12:50
  Yeah, but it's like when you look at okay, yeah, Mexico
• 12:54
  Guatemala Honduras. And then it goes all the way
• 12:57
  feeding into Colombia Venezuela. And then like this bigger
• 13:00
  massive continent, which is pretty much fully South America
• 13:03
  that we sort of know and think of like Brazil or Argentina or
• 13:06
  the that, right? But basically my point is that
• 13:08
  it's all interconnected just but like that seems to be where the
• 13:13
  Divide is, right? In my mind, whenever I thought
• 13:16
  of North and South America, I've always thought of yet United
• 13:19
  States and then to a lesser extent, Mexico being like part
• 13:22
  of the north and in the South being Brazil, Argentina, Chile,
• 13:25
  and all of that, right? So then to hear O Canada is
• 13:29
  considered part of North America.
• 13:30
  I mean, it is on the same sort of continent, obviously, there's
• 13:33
  no gaps between it. Like, it's land connective.
• 13:37
  But it's like, still kind of blows my mind that it's
• 13:40
  considered part of it. I thought it was just, you know,
• 13:43
  that's the Canada part. Yeah.
• 13:45
  Yeah. No.
• 13:46
  But anyway, I digress with we also can't.
• 13:49
  I had Estonia was like Eastern Europe, it's well, it's not
• 13:55
  isn't because it's just a bit, just a little bit to the west of
• 13:58
  Russia. It's it kind of, isn't it?
• 14:02
  Isn't like they least kind of maybe they really take it badly.
• 14:05
  When you say Eastern Europe because it's like while it might
• 14:09
  be the east of Europe, they are like nothing like what you have
• 14:13
  in mind because when you think of Eastern Europe Poland Russia,
• 14:16
  right? But like I can tell you.
• 14:18
  Now, Estonian culture is just so different from that.
• 14:23
  It's closer to like Finnish culture and to a lesser extent,
• 14:27
  like Swedish culture and stuff like that.
• 14:29
  But like because of where they're situated there.
• 14:31
  Just grouped in with with all the rest of them because
• 14:34
  European countries to the south of Finland into the southeast.
• 14:38
  Yeah. So if you think it's Tony is
• 14:40
  here, right? Okay.
• 14:42
  Can I just saw for those for those listening on Spotify by
• 14:45
  The way and apple podcast what I'm trying to say is that,
• 14:48
  basically, if you can imagine in your mind, it's down here, is
• 14:50
  this small country here. And then to the right of it,
• 14:53
  you've got it borders with Russia and it's obviously huge.
• 14:57
  And then to the bottom, I believe it's Latvia.
• 15:01
  And then basically, it doesn't border with anything to the
• 15:05
  north, but it basically, there's a can see between Estonia multi
• 15:09
  between us tone infinim. Yeah, and it's a very short
• 15:12
  distance is about 30. You five minutes give or take by
• 15:17
  boat. So obviously the flight is even
• 15:19
  quicker. But yeah.
• 15:20
  So would you say that people can consider it as quote unquote
• 15:24
  Eastern Europe because it's connected to the east of Russia.
• 15:30
  Sorry it's that yeah that's the thing as you go, if you go there
• 15:33
  if you live there you realize the culture has nothing to do
• 15:36
  with Eastern Europe. That'll I mean, that's the thing
• 15:39
  is that there are elements of like, Russian culture, they
• 15:41
  obviously because of, you know, the history and the fact that
• 15:45
  there are are there was a rapper Russian population there and
• 15:47
  stuff, but the actual Estonian culture has very little if
• 15:51
  anything to do with Russian or European culture.
• 15:54
  The only thing that I could find that was even remotely close was
• 15:59
  Estonia, has region by region. They have, how do I do I put
• 16:05
  this late? Okay, like if there's an event
• 16:09
  in say, like, a rural town, like, I don't know, A civilian
• 16:16
  D, which is in the South or vulgar, which is in the South,
• 16:19
  they have like these events particularly around summertime,
• 16:22
  they have this event called st. John's day, which in, Estonian
• 16:27
  is pronounced yarny by. If it's like a three four-day
• 16:31
  event, and it's in the middle of that June, July or whatever.
• 16:35
  But like, often around these times or, like, weddings, things
• 16:40
  like that, people will dress up in these kind of I don't know
• 16:44
  how to put it like, It's I really don't know how to explain
• 16:51
  it. It's like traditional dress from
• 16:53
  like middle times or something. If you know what I mean, right?
• 16:58
  And in Russia, they have that as well.
• 17:00
  Okay, and there's bit of crossover there, particularly to
• 17:04
  the east of Estonia, where, you know, you've got more Russians
• 17:09
  living in the country and there's more like mixing and
• 17:11
  crossing over there. But basically that that dressing
• 17:15
  that way of dressing Um is probably the only thing that
• 17:19
  really links them to like Europe Eastern Europe in any shape or
• 17:24
  form and then otherwise you've got like some words here and
• 17:28
  there that seep their way into the language from Russian and to
• 17:32
  a lesser extent German. But otherwise the language is
• 17:36
  very it's considered I think finno-ugric which is like
• 17:40
  finished brand of languages from like if you Google this stuff it
• 17:44
  basically breaks off into that. Loads of different languages.
• 17:48
  In most prominently, there's one called livonian.
• 17:52
  Which does I don't think exists anymore but in the Middle Ages
• 17:55
  it was quite a prominent language and that area.
• 18:00
  Yeah. And the reason I know this is
• 18:02
  because they're just did a lot of reading on it as curious
• 18:04
  about it. But yeah, if you want to learn
• 18:06
  more I just say look it up online or ask an Estonian,
• 18:10
  they're very proud. They'll tell you kind of false
• 18:16
  so many Similar thing, but a lot of people from the more Northern
• 18:22
  provinces of the Netherlands when they come down south yes,
• 18:28
  don't really understand the soft, the softer Southern
• 18:32
  there's a Sim access if you will.
• 18:34
  So they assume that would jump. There's a similar thing.
• 18:39
  Okay, well that's not assumed in Estonia but there is this
• 18:42
  similar thing of how North and South have like different And
• 18:46
  dialects different words terms and stuff for things, which I
• 18:50
  suppose is that it's the same in any ways and it's the same in
• 18:52
  the UK. You have like Northern dialects,
• 18:54
  Southern dialect and stuff, but generally speaking for instance,
• 18:58
  the hard and stuff G. Yeah.
• 19:01
  So that's the key in the. Hey yeah, yeah.
• 19:05
  But I also noticed that other areas like the island.
• 19:08
  I spent some time on in Estonia called sorry Mr. And I think
• 19:13
  humor which is above it as well, they have like their own dialect
• 19:16
  as well. Ons, it can get kind of
• 19:18
  confusing sometimes but yeah, I don't know, it's interesting
• 19:23
  stuff but yeah. Oh my God, never never say to an
• 19:25
  Estonian like or Estonia as Eastern Europe because they'll
• 19:28
  be so pissed at you. That's like the worst offensive
• 19:31
  thing you could ever say yeah. I don't know, German, I let that
• 19:35
  pretty fucking quickly. Like it's, yeah, we're sorry.
• 19:39
  Won't I won't, I won't call you an Eastern European.
• 19:41
  If you don't call me a job, Who calls you a German we on about
• 19:47
  making a deal with him as well. Yeah.
• 19:49
  But where's that where's that come from was okay firstly.
• 19:52
  What's wrong with me in German and secondly?
• 19:55
  Why you saying? Don't call me German.
• 19:56
  What? Because I've just told you
• 19:59
  people from the northern provinces, they don't understand
• 20:02
  the soft G in the South, right? And I live in the south, okay?
• 20:07
  So they automatically assume that like weird German or
• 20:09
  something. So I said, don't call me a
• 20:12
  German and I won't say The stone is Eastern Europe but I wasn't
• 20:19
  really talking directly to you. I was talking to like the
• 20:21
  audience, making a joke man. Ha ha ha.
• 20:29
  Don't pull out the sarcastic. Laughter that for those
• 20:31
  listening at home that was a joke.
• 20:35
  Joke number one, it was a joke, chill insert laughter track here
• 20:44
  and now it's not a pod fight pod fight.
• 20:46
  Is that the bailiff? I was that a thing.
• 20:50
  I've never heard of that before a pod for now fighting.
• 20:52
  It's just a scuffle. You should, you should have
• 20:54
  said, yes, you should be said, yes, we're fighting.
• 20:56
  We're having our No, I'll have to ask Christy.
• 20:58
  Are we getting a divorce now something?
• 21:00
  Yes, yes. We're getting a divorce.
• 21:03
  I'm taking the kids. God dammit.
• 21:07
  Great care. Doc record hard part.
• 21:13
  I'll do not do the easy stuff. I'll tell you what.
• 21:15
  You keep you keep the kids and I'll own all the assets.
• 21:18
  How's that? Yeah.
• 21:22
  Well that's your, that's your problem lawyer.
• 21:35
  I'm so glad I moved away from England and you in general.
• 21:39
  Do you ever miss her dogs? I said.
• 21:43
  I missed the place kind of with the people.
• 21:47
  What in your particular area or in general?
• 21:51
  English people aren't renowned for the other, their attitude
• 21:55
  towards other people, so you say that.
• 21:57
  But I swear people up north there are nicely.
• 22:00
  Right? - people who live here are
• 22:02
  lovely, the serve the ratio of bad people did good people sort
• 22:06
  of skew. Hmm.
• 22:09
  It's clearly leading to more towards than I think it.
• 22:13
  I think that depends where you are to be honest.
• 22:15
  I mean I would say washing there's no walk in the park.
• 22:20
  S Washington isn't really a walk in the park where I used to love
• 22:24
  these little watching. It's sort of oh well there's a
• 22:26
  place in England could Washington.
• 22:27
  Well yeah the original Washington before d.c.
• 22:30
  Wow. Okay.
• 22:31
  Well I didn't know that. I know that a lot of we share a
• 22:36
  lot of names with us and Canada as well which is interesting.
• 22:40
  So there's like a London and a Birmingham and a new car.
• 22:42
  So on a Manchester in the states which is well that's why that's
• 22:46
  why the change the sign on Washington.
• 22:48
  I think from Listen to the original Washington.
• 22:51
  Yeah, the American one, got erected, interesting interest.
• 22:57
  Washington District of Columbia. Yep.
• 23:01
  But like yeah that's what I was saying was is it's sort of like
• 23:05
  in between Newcastle and Sunderland, kind of okay.
• 23:09
  Yeah it's not really it's not really between them and the side
• 23:12
  of them. Really.
• 23:13
  Yeah. But it's a very small town.
• 23:17
  Okay. But it has like 100,000 people
• 23:20
  live in the ocean. That's not too bad.
• 23:22
  Is this quite nice but that amount it's like enough is
• 23:25
  enough to say yeah you see, see people.
• 23:28
  But it's not too much that it's like overbearing.
• 23:35
  So what was actually said there is some blind used to be the
• 23:39
  largest town in the country until it was until it became a
• 23:43
  city. So it was the largest town until
• 23:46
  it was clusters the city on a history lesson right now.
• 23:52
  It's interesting story and geography.
• 23:54
  History 101. Ammo with Dutch deals and his
• 23:57
  dad. Oh my God.
• 24:01
  No, no Dutch deals and Dutch. Dad.
• 24:07
  Don't you know, them Dutch that. There you go.
• 24:09
  See. See, I'm a marketing genius.
• 24:15
  So much irony, given the fact that were English.
• 24:19
  Now you've got set up a separate YouTube channel for your dad and
• 24:22
  call it Dutch dad and just do like dead things.
• 24:25
  I don't think Dad watching YouTube channel, but that would
• 24:28
  be a good move, Guy steals. It would be like if I finally
• 24:32
  gained a following at some point and then he was Danica and then
• 24:35
  I was to give him a little bit of support.
• 24:39
  Like how many Subs know how many one haven't checked in?
• 24:44
  Well, I've just been sort of taking a break from YouTube to
• 24:47
  see figure out what I want to do.
• 24:50
  I think I'm going to not take a full on break but like, take a
• 24:54
  bit of a break in December. I'm trying to push to get up
• 24:58
  250. I'm so that if I know I don't
• 25:01
  I'm trying to push to get about 155 155, 50 episodes of the
• 25:09
  podcast out before the end of the year.
• 25:11
  And then I think I'm going to kind of in December.
• 25:13
  I'm going to I'll see because I want to kind of keep my foot on
• 25:17
  the gas, but I will. At some point, I think I'll need
• 25:23
  to take a break but I'm not sure when but I don't know.
• 25:25
  Like I kind of like this idea of uploading and then like
• 25:30
  scheduling it and then and so it appears that I'm uploading all
• 25:34
  the time but I'm actually like just resting.
• 25:36
  Like that's one of the reasons why I schedule so much.
• 25:40
  Do you think you can have a day off?
• 25:42
  But it looks like you're applauding because you already
• 25:44
  have a video over so I SLI yeah that's that's why I do part of
• 25:47
  the reason why I do the clips for the podcast, obviously the
• 25:49
  principal reason is to promote the podcast and to get people
• 25:52
  interested and stuff. But the latter reason is because
• 25:55
  of that because you know, you can't be constantly You working
• 25:59
  your ass off 24/7 and, you know, not just the the physical side
• 26:04
  of things. But also, yeah, the mental side
• 26:05
  of things you need a mental health break every now and
• 26:08
  again, because it's demanding, you can get too involved with
• 26:12
  the numbers game. You know, for instance, I don't
• 26:15
  know what it is about YouTube but like I seem to be in this
• 26:19
  circle of like up and down up and down up and down.
• 26:23
  So in the past we and just sort of very, very soluble.
• 26:28
  Yeah, like I lose one or two every now and again but it's
• 26:31
  mostly going up. Yeah, but that's that's what I
• 26:33
  have the one or two thing so it will stick on a number.
• 26:37
  So right now it's alternating between 505 and 507 seems to be
• 26:42
  going up and down up and down. So right now it's 50, 60
• 26:45
  probably be something else by tomorrow or tonight or whatever
• 26:49
  and it makes me wonder like, is it actually people just unsub in
• 26:54
  sobbing or is it just you two being wankers?
• 26:57
  Think it, I think, I don't. I think you should not really
• 27:00
  for a thing. You know, I don't I'm just want
• 27:02
  to know. I don't care particularly
• 27:05
  YouTubers known to be. Well, an ass really.
• 27:10
  So dull what nobody? Subscribe me, okay?
• 27:16
  In the sense that they can just unsub people whenever they feel
• 27:20
  like it without the consent of that person and also because
• 27:23
  like, you know, from for exact, here's a good example, right?
• 27:26
  Someone watch one of my videos the other day and they forgot
• 27:29
  that they were subscribed to me, right?
• 27:30
  Which is fine. And they said, oh wow, you know,
• 27:34
  this came up and I forgot I was subscribed and I love the video,
• 27:37
  right? If they would have deleted that
• 27:40
  person sub, that person wouldn't have seen me, you know, I mean,
• 27:44
  it's things like that. It's like I get what they're
• 27:48
  trying to do, they're trying to make it like, you know, not
• 27:51
  cluttered and representative and you know.
• 27:53
  But at the end of the day, everyone knows that, even if you
• 27:56
  are sub to a channel chances that you actually are watching
• 27:58
  that channel on a regular basis of slim, you know what I mean?
• 28:01
  Like, even the top YouTubers, they might have 10 mil Subs, but
• 28:04
  they've only got about, I say only but, you know,
• 28:06
  realistically, Two million per episode people watching.
• 28:13
  And that's not even guaranteed that that's all of their subs.
• 28:16
  That might just be, like, people unsub the checking it out.
• 28:19
  So it's interesting to me, but it seems, I've had a bit of a
• 28:23
  think about it, your honor, and I'm gonna go on record here.
• 28:27
  I think I'm going to change the way I do my Vlogs.
• 28:30
  Cool. I think I'm not just a top.
• 28:33
  Sorry, I don't think I'm gonna just record.
• 28:37
  Nothing like you know, the day off video I made.
• 28:42
  Hmm. Refresh my memory which one it's
• 28:46
  when I had a day off and I just recorded myself.
• 28:51
  Did you go somewhere? I remember you going somewhere
• 28:54
  went down. I went down to Mandy's gone.
• 28:57
  Okay. Um but that was that was
• 29:01
  literally a PointlessBlog. Why'd you say it's one of us
• 29:05
  because I am going to doing. Yeah, but there's no reason for
• 29:08
  anybody to watch it. Not necessarily well by interest
• 29:11
  people. Interested in your life.
• 29:14
  What me? Walking down the garden and then
• 29:16
  okay, I'm going to give you some advice.
• 29:18
  Okay? Wasn't finished, I know it's
• 29:20
  unsolicited. I know you didn't ask, but I'm
• 29:23
  just going to say Wonderland before you continue.
• 29:25
  I think this is important for you to hear, it's not pointless
• 29:29
  because if you have that attitude you'll never create any
• 29:31
  content that's about yourself. Like I remember a while ago, you
• 29:37
  know, Charles Jaco. He said to me that these Vlogs
• 29:41
  that you do, if nothing has even if you like you never.
• 29:44
  I'm successful whatever. Like blah blah blah.
• 29:46
  You know, this is like a time capsule of you right now.
• 29:49
  So in 10 years from now 20 years from now you can look back at
• 29:52
  this and kind of Marvel like how you grew how you were even
• 29:57
  something simple like a day out, where you're just with some
• 29:59
  family that can be like, really special and something worth kind
• 30:04
  of savoring and holding tight to, you know, I mean and more to
• 30:08
  the point as your audience grows and people become more
• 30:11
  interested in you and want to know more about your your life,
• 30:14
  they'll want more of that content, you know?
• 30:16
  But that's, that's something that I can say, bro, tweet or
• 30:20
  Instagram post. It's different though, it's not
• 30:23
  the same. As when you doing a video, it's
• 30:24
  more interactive people like think about when people are
• 30:27
  watching you it's like you feel like you know that person.
• 30:32
  You feel like you're friends with that person.
• 30:35
  If it's just a tweet it's not the same it's like three videos
• 30:40
  but I mean yeah but like a whack on you YouTubers thought Either
• 30:45
  either dollar or oh, I see, hang on, I see what you're saying.
• 30:49
  So this is like a instead of it being a full video, like an
• 30:54
  update kind of thing. Like, no, I'm just doing.
• 30:57
  Okay. Well then I would say something
• 30:58
  different to you. Then I would say, take my advice
• 31:01
  because I got this advice again from Charles Jaco to do regular
• 31:06
  updates on Instagram and do like little mini things.
• 31:09
  So it doesn't have to be, like, even proper videos that
• 31:11
  sometimes I'll just add to my story on IG and it's just me,
• 31:16
  like, fucking around in the van while we're volunteering
• 31:18
  somewhere in Manchester and it's just like not even Proper thing.
• 31:21
  Is this me like listening to some music on clue.
• 31:24
  Yeah, but I don't know people liken to that staff.
• 31:27
  People. Sometimes like it, they engage
• 31:29
  with that content. I mean, I suppose the whole
• 31:30
  point is, when you're putting content out there, you know,
• 31:35
  it's never pointless. I think that I just want, I just
• 31:37
  want to eradicate that mindset from your head right now.
• 31:43
  No, no, it's not. It's not pointless, just
• 31:45
  sometimes. There's no topic to the video.
• 31:50
  So I feel like the next blog I make will be one of the ones
• 31:56
  where I'm either going somewhere or doing something.
• 31:59
  Hmm that's worth recording like okay and it makes it difficult
• 32:05
  in the winter because it's so cold that you don't want to go
• 32:08
  outside. You don't want to do anything.
• 32:10
  Yeah. Whereas in the summer.
• 32:14
  I mean, I'm not sure if there's any like car meets around
• 32:19
  something where I live, but I feel like that would be a good
• 32:22
  video because my dad likes that kind of pretty.
• 32:24
  So you struggling to just find things to do.
• 32:27
  Yeah. Okay fair enough and I don't
• 32:30
  want to record nothing. I not not nothing but I think
• 32:35
  it's a good time then to just really get into some some
• 32:37
  different hobbies and try different things out because
• 32:40
  I've been doing the same thing as well, you know?
• 32:42
  Just trying different. What things, I think that I
• 32:44
  understand the struggle of not knowing what to put on YouTube.
• 32:48
  But, I mean, this is your experimental time.
• 32:51
  This is where you build in your channel.
• 32:53
  I mean, you mentioned, like, you might even set up a second
• 32:55
  Channel. I don't think that's a bad idea,
• 32:56
  you know, it's good. As part of the experimentation,
• 32:59
  I'm not going to not going to do that, whatever.
• 33:03
  Like the point, the point is more about trying different
• 33:07
  things. Seeing what you like, seeing
• 33:09
  what you're comfortable with, you know, you notice there's
• 33:11
  certain types of content on Channel that I do significantly
• 33:14
  less than others, like reaction videos as an example.
• 33:18
  Like I found a way to do it in an easier way now via streaming.
• 33:22
  So now I'm more inclined to do it, but before it was such a
• 33:25
  pain in the ass for very little reward, and I was thinking,
• 33:29
  like, it's not so much, it's not just about the views and
• 33:32
  interactions, you get, but like that, those things serve as
• 33:35
  motivation for things, that you're not as interested in.
• 33:38
  But if you're not fully interested in the first place,
• 33:41
  then should you really be doing? It's one of those weird
• 33:44
  questions, you know, I mean with YouTube but I say yeah, just try
• 33:49
  lots of different things. Man, you're in a completely
• 33:51
  different country where you have access to things that, you know,
• 33:53
  you didn't necessarily have access to in the UK.
• 33:56
  And you know what, it's not even just about YouTube, just in
• 34:00
  terms of your life experience, and having access to things that
• 34:05
  will give you cool experiences stories.
• 34:08
  You know, I can tell you now for relationships for friendships.
• 34:13
  Just getting to know people and stuff.
• 34:15
  It really helps. If you have stuff you can just
• 34:20
  refer to and and just dropping conversation.
• 34:23
  Not not as a flex, but as a kind of like I did this and then it's
• 34:27
  like an ice breaker. It's like, you know, especially
• 34:29
  if someone brings something up first and they say, oh yes, I
• 34:32
  lived abroad and did this and you can be like yeah.
• 34:34
  So did I and blah? Blah blah and you know it's like
• 34:38
  I think the more things you do in life and the more you kind of
• 34:41
  make out of life, the more that comes back to you Jane.
• 34:45
  I mean the more opportunities that are open to you and but
• 34:51
  more importantly, just the more you get out of life, you know,
• 34:53
  the zest of life, so to speak. I don't want to sound like I'm
• 34:56
  going on like some sort of broken record but like I think
• 35:00
  there is a lot to be said for just trying things in life and,
• 35:03
  you know, even if it's something that you think is going to be
• 35:06
  shit, or like, you think, our, why the hell would I do that?
• 35:09
  Maybe I'm not interested in that, but you'd be surprised,
• 35:11
  you know? So that's the end of my lecture
• 35:19
  lecture. It was I'd be a great Professor,
• 35:22
  man. I just ran below it.
• 35:24
  Everyone everyone would leave except for like two kids that
• 35:28
  for some reason when I listen because they don't want to get
• 35:32
  in trouble from their parents. So they pay attention just to
• 35:36
  say they did, I worry, you know, sometimes about this like me
• 35:39
  talking, this is why I limit how much I talk and I try and save.
• 35:42
  Vit, for when I'm gone. I was, I was just listening.
• 35:45
  I would just let it all sink in. I'm serious, man.
• 35:47
  You ever seen them the show? How I Met Your Mother TV show?
• 35:53
  I watch it mostly before I go to bed, like it's just, it's just
• 35:56
  sort of on Comedy Central. So yeah.
• 35:59
  Okay, what's a great show? I love it.
• 36:01
  I particularly love Barney and Robin and Ted Marshall Lily.
• 36:07
  Yeah. Ted Washington.
• 36:08
  Yeah. So, anyway, this character of
• 36:10
  Ted I really With, I really like him.
• 36:15
  He's a romantic. Yeah, the lecturer.
• 36:17
  Yeah, right. But not just that, like the fact
• 36:19
  that he's a romantic, a fact that he's passionate about know
• 36:21
  these things. Like, I can resonate with all of
• 36:24
  that, I can relate to it, because that's exactly me.
• 36:27
  But, at the same time, it's angle.
• 36:29
  Yeah, it's same for me. It's that kind of difficulty of
• 36:33
  finding the right person and stuff like that, but being
• 36:36
  passionate about nerdy things and wanting to find someone
• 36:39
  who's a similar mindset. But more importantly, the reason
• 36:41
  I bring it up, Is his fear of kind of particularly when he
• 36:46
  becomes a lecturer in the later Seasons University and he's
• 36:49
  teaching his profession of architecture and stuff, right?
• 36:52
  He's got a real fear and worry about, you know, talking to
• 36:57
  people about this because a lot of the time when he talks about
• 36:59
  the things that he's passionate about, people just zone out
• 37:01
  there not listening, they don't care, right?
• 37:04
  I really feel this sometimes as well.
• 37:05
  This is why I pick my moments. When I'm I'm going to talk to
• 37:09
  people. Like if it's a lot of the time,
• 37:12
  like, if you meet me in, Life. I'm quite a shy person.
• 37:15
  You know. I don't start conversations I
• 37:18
  wait for other people to do that.
• 37:22
  I don't often share. Stories or things about my life
• 37:27
  openly, unless I really feel comfortable with the person and
• 37:30
  more importantly that I think they're actually going to listen
• 37:33
  because I can't tell you how many times I've started a
• 37:35
  conversation or someone asked me a question.
• 37:39
  I start giving them an answer and then they stop listening or
• 37:42
  they just not don't care and it's like It's disrespectful,
• 37:46
  but it's disappointing, which is the bigger part of it, you know.
• 37:50
  And it makes me not want to speak as sad as that sounds.
• 37:53
  It's actually like, they think Like, if you started the
• 37:58
  conversation and they're not really interested, that's right
• 38:01
  there, I know. But if they literally ask you
• 38:04
  the question and then stopped listening when you were
• 38:06
  answering. Yeah, that's just disrespectful.
• 38:11
  And that's why I save it for like for here for online.
• 38:14
  So I find it funny when people say like oh yeah you seem so
• 38:18
  charismatic you seem so open and and confident or that and it's
• 38:23
  like no, no. I know how to tie know how to
• 38:26
  talk to People I know how to do all this stuff because you learn
• 38:28
  that over time, right? If your experiences and stuff
• 38:31
  and but you yeah I mean, I think a lot of the time with these
• 38:35
  sorts of things. Man, I don't know.
• 38:39
  People can be funny. Can't they?
• 38:40
  Sometimes people want to know everything about you and they
• 38:43
  really are engaged, but more to the point.
• 38:45
  A lot of the time people would to invest in themselves to care
• 38:49
  about what you're doing, which is why it's important, I think
• 38:51
  not to kick give a shit what people think because exactly
• 38:55
  chances are they are not talking about you and if they are then
• 38:58
  they've got fuck all going on in their life.
• 39:01
  If a good, a good piece of advice that I'm even trying.
• 39:08
  To follow myself. Do this, if you walk around
• 39:14
  caring about what people think of you, you'll never be
• 39:17
  comfortable being anywhere. So to me, well, if you're, if
• 39:23
  you're walking, let's say through the Centre of
• 39:27
  Manchester, okay? You're constantly thinking about
• 39:31
  what people are thinking about you.
• 39:33
  And if you think about how much people are looking at you even
• 39:37
  if they're not, it gets in your head.
• 39:40
  Yep. And it's awful, it's an awful
• 39:42
  feeling. So if you just try and try and
• 39:47
  bring yourself back to reality in the Fact that they're not
• 39:51
  actually looking at you. Hmm.
• 39:54
  I used to have that. I still have that problem.
• 39:56
  Actually. When I was a teenager, I didn't
• 39:58
  really bad. I used to think everyone was
• 40:01
  mocking me, everyone thought I was stupid ugly.
• 40:05
  All of this stuff is used to go around.
• 40:06
  Used to drive me nuts, to be honest, most of the time I only
• 40:09
  managed to kind of get rid of that sort of feeling, A couple
• 40:16
  of years ago, to be honest, even at University.
• 40:18
  I felt like that, you know, I think going to Estonia really
• 40:23
  helped shift My mindset. Meet my ex-girlfriend really
• 40:27
  helped as well, she beat a lot of just nonsense out of my head.
• 40:31
  So I was thinking most rate because yeah, it's fucked, man.
• 40:35
  You know, you grew up with in certain environment.
• 40:37
  It can really shape how you think and feel about yourself
• 40:41
  and as uselessly came from like that.
• 40:44
  I like didn't really get out much.
• 40:46
  Hmm. I live back in England but I
• 40:48
  don't really go out and do things.
• 40:51
  Hmm. Yeah, so happens.
• 40:54
  I didn't learn. Interact with people.
• 40:56
  Hmm, it was only until the sort of started lockdown when I get
• 41:03
  started to ease up. So you can meet people remain
• 41:06
  socially distance. That was sort of when I started
• 41:09
  going out on the bikes with my cousin, I am.
• 41:14
  I often when I meet someone new And this is another reason why I
• 41:19
  do the whole, let them start the conversation thing because a lot
• 41:23
  of the time, you can figure out how to talk to people based on,
• 41:27
  you know, I know it sounds really obvious, but had based on
• 41:30
  the, the, the sorts of things that they tend to focus on the
• 41:32
  questions, they asked the topics, they talked about, like,
• 41:35
  you sort of can figure out an Essence, an idea of that person,
• 41:40
  and you sort of know what to talk about, what to avoid, you
• 41:45
  know, so on and so forth. I always keep it platonic until
• 41:50
  I sort of know someone for a long time or I know them on a
• 41:55
  deep level. If I actually consider someone a
• 41:56
  friend then you know, there's no limits.
• 41:59
  We can talk about anything but that's the thing.
• 42:01
  I used to think that, like, friends were like, two a penny.
• 42:03
  But if anything friends to me friendship is a very important
• 42:08
  Deep thing. I think I don't consider a lot
• 42:10
  of people friends. I consider a lot people
• 42:11
  acquaintances, they might consider me a friend, but for
• 42:15
  me, a friendship is so much more than just like you.
• 42:18
  You know chatting and it's like trust its loyalty it's you know
• 42:24
  honesty. Yeah and I feel like a lot of
• 42:27
  these things aren't given people expect them but they don't often
• 42:32
  give them and when they're caught out, sometimes they don't
• 42:36
  understand why you're so upset. And it's like this is another
• 42:40
  reason why I kind of keep myself to myself.
• 42:41
  And I don't often open up to people because of this, you
• 42:47
  know, I've Had friendship groups in the past.
• 42:50
  I've had best friends in the past.
• 42:52
  They've, you know, let me down betrayed me, all of these
• 42:54
  things. It's not to say, like, I'm never
• 42:56
  going to trust anyone again or anything cause that's bollocks.
• 42:59
  I have people, I trust with my life, you know?
• 43:02
  But I think you do have to be very selective about these
• 43:05
  things and not just because of those things are just Lau line.
• 43:09
  But also, because you need to surround yourself with, like,
• 43:13
  positive people, people that like want you to succeed like
• 43:18
  don't Don't secretly. Want you to fail because there
• 43:20
  are people like that. They might say lovely shit to
• 43:22
  your face, but there are people out there that just, you know,
• 43:26
  they're trying to be friends with you because they want
• 43:28
  something or, you know, because it benefits them in some way or,
• 43:32
  you know, they want to try and fuck up your life, whatever the
• 43:36
  case may be, there's so many of those people out there in the
• 43:38
  world that you just have to steer away from It's tricky.
• 43:42
  Sometimes you don't always leeches and some of the cars,
• 43:46
  seven, saboteurs, Yeah, we still just dies.
• 43:49
  It's just - people in general as well like negativity.
• 43:53
  Is this the okay? You haven't worked that much,
• 43:56
  really. But have you ever had like a
• 43:57
  situation? Where did you get these often
• 44:00
  in? Workplaces I've noticed where
• 44:03
  you go into a new environment and there's that one person
• 44:06
  that's - that tries to kind of make everyone else feel bad.
• 44:10
  Like they try to kind of sell likewise in this shit here and
• 44:14
  all this person is horrible. I sucks here that money
• 44:17
  constantly say - thing, they never say anything positive.
• 44:20
  And if you earn in my, last school has won every class
• 44:24
  privilege, right? There's always that one person
• 44:26
  and night, it depends because, like, sometimes you get a
• 44:30
  general crowd of people, that just don't care.
• 44:32
  And we'll just like, cancel that person that I'm like, whatever.
• 44:34
  But then sometimes you get people that are more susceptible
• 44:37
  to the two things and they start to listen to people like that.
• 44:41
  And then suddenly you've got a sort of, a bad atmosphere being
• 44:44
  created wherever you are because of that one person.
• 44:48
  And it's like, I, I avoid those people in particular like the
• 44:51
  plague can't stand these people, like, seriously throw a shampoo.
• 44:58
  Yeah, I mean, some people change, some people change, I
• 45:01
  used to be a - like I never deliberately went around, making
• 45:06
  people feel bad. I was never that type of person,
• 45:08
  but I was cynical. Yes, I'd lost like all hope.
• 45:15
  So, 18, 19, 20, I was very If I felt, you know, I saw other
• 45:20
  people I knew doing really well, but I wasn't doing well.
• 45:22
  You know, I was angry at the world, I think and all of that
• 45:26
  changed in the, in the coming years.
• 45:29
  But like, I really had to beat a lot of that negativity and crap
• 45:33
  out of my head and it's not easy.
• 45:35
  You, you really do. Have to like Do some
• 45:40
  soul-searching so to speak and it's got to be.
• 45:46
  It's got to be difficult though. I mean, I've got a face that
• 45:52
  challenge as well with, so making sure that the negative
• 45:55
  stuff stays out. Hmm.
• 45:57
  So making sure that people don't get to me as easily.
• 46:04
  Yep. Or at least make them think they
• 46:06
  don't. Yeah, I make them think they
• 46:09
  don't get to meet and we'll stop.
• 46:11
  And then another get to me that's a solid Point actually.
• 46:15
  Yeah, self-preservation making sure people don't can't get to
• 46:19
  you. So to speak.
• 46:20
  Yeah I completely agree. I think yeah I mean it's
• 46:23
  difficult not to show emotion in life but I think you can do it
• 46:28
  is possible. You just have another wall.
• 46:32
  You never know who you can let the wall down.
• 46:34
  Yeah, but it did the problem. The problem is Right while we
• 46:37
  can build walls and shit, there's always something that
• 46:39
  trigger anyone even the strongest person.
• 46:42
  There's something you can say something, if you trigger it,
• 46:47
  it's not to say or break down their wall but it will weaken
• 46:52
  it. Yeah.
• 46:53
  Like it will make them judge or make them.
• 46:55
  Twitch is with the word I'm looking for.
• 46:57
  Yeah, but yeah, you're absolutely right.
• 47:01
  You got to build. But yeah it's important that you
• 47:05
  know, that you can let it down for somebody.
• 47:09
  You guys just keep your wall of your entire life.
• 47:12
  Hmm, that's what I need to learn.
• 47:14
  Yeah. It doesn't even have to be like
• 47:16
  a wall like a kind of an aggressive one because I think
• 47:20
  that's a problem. A lot of people assume that you
• 47:22
  have to build up a front and then you push people away which
• 47:26
  is not what you want to do. You want to invite people in,
• 47:28
  but you kind of need to kind of kind of keep people in arms.
• 47:31
  Length. And then as you say, yeah, if
• 47:33
  you meet like someone, you can trust to you want to be your
• 47:35
  friend, or lover or something like that, then you let them in
• 47:40
  and you remember that's the foundation of the relationship,
• 47:42
  isn't it? You trust them?
• 47:43
  You say okay, give them chances. Yeah, I'm gonna let down my God
• 47:47
  for you because I trust you because I love you because
• 47:49
  you're my friend, whatever. And then the problem is is
• 47:52
  sometimes there's people who will make it.
• 47:55
  Think you can let the world down, you've let it down and the
• 47:59
  floor by several whatever's inside.
• 48:01
  That's the thing. You, yeah, like, I've met so
• 48:04
  many people over the years that refuse to let their wall down
• 48:07
  because people have broken their hearts and stuff and it's like
• 48:10
  that's life, that's what happens.
• 48:13
  That's the whole point of risk of trusting is a risk.
• 48:19
  You never know. You never know what they're
• 48:21
  going to do it or not. Yeah, have to give it a truck
• 48:23
  that exactly, I couldn't agree more.
• 48:26
  See, Dutch deals is smart, kid smile.
• 48:29
  But I don't know why I said that.
• 48:31
  I don't know. I said that.
• 48:34
  Yeah, you are. You smarter than I was at 60's.
• 48:37
  Fucking clueless more on a 16 mate.
• 48:39
  So very, very proud to see that. You're and you want now.
• 48:43
  Cletus moron. Yeah, of course, but back 16 and
• 48:46
  I was 16, it was really bad, more thing, really, really bad.
• 48:52
  And let's change up. Let's talk about YouTube again
• 48:55
  because I wanted to ask you this, you've obviously seen how
• 48:58
  much I've been uploading like crazy and I've been receiving
• 49:02
  kind of mixed messages from people.
• 49:04
  Some people say yeah it's great uploading loads.
• 49:08
  It's a good thing, you know, keep self out there.
• 49:09
  Keep yourself active blah blah. All right.
• 49:11
  Grow Other people I've met and seen online say the opposite
• 49:16
  say, oh, it's actually detrimental.
• 49:17
  You should upload less. Where do you stand on that?
• 49:23
  I think of answer this question before you need to find that
• 49:26
  that I ask you but yeah I'm not sure if it was on a podcast that
• 49:31
  I could have told you this so many times.
• 49:35
  It's okay so much. I listened on record or
• 49:38
  something. Sure. in my eyes, if you're
• 49:44
  constantly pushing out content and can be really good because
• 49:50
  obviously the more you upload, the more you get your viewers
• 49:53
  out there but you also need to think Of the viewer and then
• 50:00
  it's just Christian. We've uploaded Christian, you
• 50:02
  bloody Christian we've uploaded. So it's it can bring in more
• 50:06
  people but it can also not. It can also alien it be like a
• 50:14
  small deterrent. Hmm.
• 50:17
  Because people that I I'll I enjoy it when a YouTube uploads
• 50:20
  like two times a week because I can watch it like maybe on a
• 50:23
  Monday and then watching on a Friday, And then we're from one
• 50:26
  day again but if it's like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 50:31
  You have to sit down and watch all of it and it sort of because
• 50:38
  YouTube YouTube is a Pastime nautical time.
• 50:42
  Yeah. Let's look at Point.
• 50:44
  The one thing is the worry. I have though.
• 50:46
  Here's will get it. Don't get it, don't get me
• 50:48
  wrong. It's like nothing.
• 50:49
  It's nothing against you. I mean if you want to upload all
• 50:52
  the time, you go ahead but I don't know where I stand on it.
• 50:59
  Right. Yeah.
• 51:00
  But it's sort of, it's sort of your prerogative to choose how
• 51:04
  much you want to upload and no one can tell you otherwise.
• 51:07
  But yeah, I mean, I'm honestly I have mixed feelings about it
• 51:11
  because I agree with you. I have thought about this.
• 51:15
  You know, I've tried doing struct schedules before I do
• 51:18
  sort of have a schedule, but, here's where I stand on it right
• 51:21
  now. At least, I kind of look at it.
• 51:23
  Like, I have the ideas now. I should just move them soon as
• 51:27
  I have the ideas, get them out there.
• 51:29
  Upload them. You know, they mean or write
• 51:31
  them down. I do dude.
• 51:33
  Look, oh no, I don't worry, it's nothing crazy.
• 51:39
  So here's like a little list of just like stuff that I haven't
• 51:43
  done just yet, right? Some of its questioned off
• 51:46
  because of custom uploaded it, I can see the quality of the, but
• 51:49
  I can't read what it says because it on my glasses,
• 51:51
  basically, it's a bunch of ideas for future episodes of story
• 51:54
  time. I've got edit and publish the
• 51:57
  chase. If you remember, still got do
• 51:59
  that just a bunch of different things.
• 52:02
  Different ideas than delivering, the point.
• 52:07
  The point is, it sits there for a rainy day.
• 52:11
  It's like, I will get around to it, but at the same time, this
• 52:15
  is the most ideas I've ever had ever.
• 52:18
  And I just go based on what I feel.
• 52:21
  So if I wake up one morning and I feel I want to upload a music
• 52:25
  video. I want to upload a like okay,
• 52:28
  for example, that story time that I just uploaded Bring Me
• 52:32
  The Horizon one, right, what happened was?
• 52:34
  I saw a video and it jogged my memory.
• 52:40
  So they were talking about this experience.
• 52:43
  They had getting pepper sprayed on stage and I was like, I
• 52:46
  remember this because I was there, I was at that gig when it
• 52:49
  happened, and it kind of blew my mind.
• 52:52
  I was like, oh wow, I remembered this whole and I remembered
• 52:55
  everything. Most that happened at the show
• 52:57
  because of that because you know how memories work, it jogs, one
• 52:59
  thing and then it starts pouring out.
• 53:02
  And so my mentality was I've got to get this out before.
• 53:05
  I forget these ideas, I gotta write this all down which I did
• 53:08
  and then I was like, I should just do this while it's fresh in
• 53:10
  my mind. So basically my point is I feel
• 53:15
  like it's good to act on the ideas while you have them
• 53:18
  because there might be a point where you have like sort of
• 53:20
  writer's block and you don't know what to put out there which
• 53:22
  is one of the reasons why I have a list of ideas.
• 53:25
  For like quote-unquote like a rainy day because there might be
• 53:29
  a point where I don't have ideas and where I'm kind of stuck or
• 53:33
  something and that's what I'm more concerned about you know,
• 53:37
  and I feel like some spikes like a month ago when you did your
• 53:42
  Muse. Cover that went all the way up
• 53:45
  to 2 point. 7 K say again that can be your endlessly cover from
• 53:53
  use and what are you looking on social blade?
• 53:56
  No, just a YouTube. I'm just I'm just having a
• 53:59
  browse through to see why your spiking and you had a spike
• 54:04
  about a month ago with the endlessly cover.
• 54:06
  That's your second most popular video.
• 54:08
  Yep. It's going to be the most
• 54:10
  popular soon. It's definitely going to surpass
• 54:12
  the Reddit video which was the main one for a long time.
• 54:16
  Yes, it seems that post in like things that are trending or
• 54:23
  relevant helps because it does. Yeah.
• 54:26
  That's the only of video on the UK sex button five months ago.
• 54:30
  There's also a pre-sale gonna be.
• 54:33
  You're gonna be, you're gonna be known as the sex pun guy, don't
• 54:37
  don't, that's not even funny. Literally, like with that, that
• 54:40
  was dumb. That was, if you watch that
• 54:41
  video, it's just seven minute Vlog.
• 54:44
  It's not even very good. That's what pisses me off about
• 54:47
  it. Like, at least with the music
• 54:48
  video, like, I actually sat down learn how to play the song did
• 54:53
  like 50 takes, did it put effort in, right that Vlog?
• 54:56
  I just sat down, I was like, oh, this is funny, huh?
• 54:59
  And then that got nearly what 1500 views, what the fuck.
• 55:04
  That's what I mean about YouTube.
• 55:05
  And it's so he almost doesn't matter how much effort you put
• 55:09
  in sometimes like, you said, you bust your ass for nothing other
• 55:12
  times. You don't put anywhere fit in
• 55:14
  and you just get millions of views.
• 55:17
  Makes no sense to me. But you know it is what it is.
• 55:21
  Just got to keep grinding, I suppose that's somehow have four
• 55:25
  thousand, five hundred ninety, six YouTube notifications, your
• 55:31
  ice. I'll get you a subscribe to a
• 55:33
  lot of people then. I'm probably at least a quarter
• 55:37
  of that. I looked just, I looked at how
• 55:47
  many videos are uploaded in total, so I think it's like 500.
• 55:52
  And I'm trying to, I'm trying to see.
• 55:54
  I overlooked over 500 looking on about and honestly, I can't say
• 56:02
  anything similar. I can see how many views you
• 56:04
  have em, if you got em, Social blade that's about
• 56:06
  representation. Okay, you know it's funny as
• 56:10
  well about social blade. Is it gives you projected
• 56:15
  Projections for what I like, how it thinks that your channel is
• 56:19
  likely to grow. And it said that it would take
• 56:21
  me, something like five years to reach 11,000 subscribers.
• 56:26
  I was like, fuck me. That's depressing.
• 56:29
  As I've done. Take that long.
• 56:32
  Yeah, that's that's my my estimated monthly earnings are
• 56:37
  between three cents and 44 cents, money money.
• 56:41
  Yeah, an estimated oh I get 55 Euros.
• 56:44
  That's good, he's crazy. How people grow, like I keep
• 56:47
  using this example, there's a guy I follow she couldn't check
• 56:50
  them out. If you're listening actually,
• 56:52
  he's called Adam Barrett. He's really awesome.
• 56:55
  Songwriter musician is in our community so you've probably
• 56:58
  seen him Dutch. But anyways, I interviewed him
• 57:01
  on like episode 25 26 of the Christian read podcast and back
• 57:06
  then bear in mind. This was like the middle of the
• 57:09
  year. He was all my God.
• 57:12
  He was on 16k Right. I know it's amazing and now he's
• 57:19
  on 21k. So in the space of light Three
• 57:23
  months or a bit more. He's, you know, risen by at
• 57:27
  least five k and he told me that he only started to get Traction
• 57:34
  in 2019. So like, he'd been doing doing
• 57:37
  YouTube for years by that point, but it took him ages to get any
• 57:40
  kind of notice. But suddenly now he's got this
• 57:43
  big following, and people are constantly, not just checking
• 57:47
  him out and watching his videos but sharing his content.
• 57:50
  I see people just randomly or Like on Twitter like retweeting
• 57:54
  his staff saying hey go check this guy out, he's an awesome.
• 57:57
  That's what you need, that kind of organic promotion where you
• 58:01
  don't even have to ask people like they're already doing it
• 58:03
  for you. That's one thing I've changed
• 58:06
  recently. As I've started asking people to
• 58:08
  subscribe and like, and share and all that stuff, but just to
• 58:12
  get the idea in people's heads, that, hey, I want to do this.
• 58:14
  Seriously, I want this to go somewhere, but ultimately, it's
• 58:19
  up to the people, whether they or not, they want to do that,
• 58:21
  you know, if they feel How to do so.
• 58:25
  Doing pretty good. Actually, it's all right we're
• 58:28
  doing. Alright we're doing like it's
• 58:30
  just said that I should reach. 485 subscribers in five years
• 58:34
  time. Yeah I mean we had five thousand
• 58:39
  six hundred and six video views in the last 30 days. 500 and how
• 58:43
  many five thousand six hundred and six in the last 130 days
• 58:50
  Five Points. That's so that's so that's all
• 58:53
  just the music video. It, hold on.
• 58:57
  So it's like 2,500 wish for the music video.
• 59:02
  So, everything else is us not bad.
• 59:06
  So, 2500 views from other videos.
• 59:08
  Combined, that's pretty good 20:27 subscribers for the last
• 59:13
  30 days. Mmm, Yeah.
• 59:15
  We've had a spike ever since I finally enough, when I started
• 59:19
  asking people to subscribe I don't know what it is, but since
• 59:22
  that point people have started, like, I also uploaded a video
• 59:26
  link actually saying, Please Subscribe and I replace that
• 59:30
  with because originally when you go to my channel, it would show
• 59:33
  the advertising the channel trailer.
• 59:37
  That's the thing I'm looking for.
• 59:38
  Yeah, but I replaced it with a blue subscribe video.
• 59:41
  And I literally just did, you know, I spoke about like reasons
• 59:44
  that people should subscribe button to make it his own videos
• 59:48
  that I think people seem to like that.
• 59:51
  They like the honesty. Maybe yeah, I have goals with
• 59:54
  it. It's not just hey I want to make
• 59:56
  money. It's like I want to do this
• 59:57
  because I love to be creative. It's fun, but yeah, you got rich
• 1:00:05
  bass. Should start speeding up
• 1:00:06
  actually because in two months time it should be 500 546 4
• 1:00:13
  months, 6 and 11. I would love to know what this
• 1:00:16
  is based on though, to be honest because it's I mean, at least in
• 1:00:20
  five years, you'll be a 12th 1809 with the two million seven
• 1:00:25
  hundred seventy 1562 views. I have a feeling 750 into, you
• 1:00:37
  know, what's interesting actually is in the past month or
• 1:00:39
  so, I've had a feeling that we might actually pull it off like
• 1:00:43
  become successful with this, which I never felt before.
• 1:00:45
  I always felt like our it's a long shot as a shot in the dark,
• 1:00:48
  it all. You never happen.
• 1:00:50
  Now, I'm like really positive like, hey, this going to happen,
• 1:00:54
  I can feel it. It's weird.
• 1:00:58
  I think it's more because I'm really enjoying the fan and so
• 1:01:02
  fans I don't have fans, but you know what I mean?
• 1:01:04
  Like people that follow the interaction, especially in like
• 1:01:07
  the Instagram Live's, the YouTube live streams that we've
• 1:01:12
  started doing as well. People seem to have a lot of fun
• 1:01:15
  there, which makes me think that, you know, we're spinning
• 1:01:20
  to grow some sort of a community, which is what I've
• 1:01:22
  always wanted. That's the most important thing.
• 1:01:26
  Yeah yeah yeah anyways well PewDiePie is estimated yearly
• 1:01:31
  earnings and nine million, nine million, 10 million, nine
• 1:01:36
  million euro Jesus. He's first in the games section.
• 1:01:42
  He's first in the his first in the u.s. 21st and video views
• 1:01:46
  forth in subscriber forth. Yeah.
• 1:01:49
  Because T Series is way about. Have you seen how many Subs
• 1:01:53
  they've got T Series? We check so cute, 100 and 107
• 1:01:58
  million. So T Series is on like 105,
• 1:02:02
  know, 50, 150 subscribers. I think they, they make all my
• 1:02:06
  362 million. Yeah, they earn so much money,
• 1:02:12
  like waging 56 million a year. Mmm, and 130, sorry, no 13.1 a
• 1:02:21
  month. That's what makes the whole
• 1:02:24
  PewDiePie diversity. See Is an interesting.
• 1:02:26
  I know it was sort of a joke but at the same time like PewDiePie
• 1:02:29
  is is a legit just content created like the rest of us,
• 1:02:31
  right? Whereas T Series is like this
• 1:02:33
  whole brand essentially company and this is not really the same
• 1:02:39
  thing but it's a bit like when you see you know The Tonight
• 1:02:43
  Show doing clips on YouTube like it's it's not a YouTube account,
• 1:02:50
  you know? I mean it's just they're making
• 1:02:52
  bank from their TV show. Which is fine.
• 1:02:56
  But it's like I don't know. It's been unfair to the rest of
• 1:03:01
  us. I think that the same time at
• 1:03:04
  the nose fair game really, isn't it?
• 1:03:06
  I mean, I watch the clip sometimes I think it's kind of
• 1:03:09
  cool to have the clips from those shows because it's, you
• 1:03:12
  know, not everyone could be bothered to watch the whole
• 1:03:14
  show. Yeah, fair enough.
• 1:03:17
  I mean, Yeah, I do really well. Well, that's my social blade.
• 1:03:28
  Social blade, Adventures function.
• 1:03:31
  I think I think if you so crazy. How so?
• 1:03:37
  How can Peter pie mix so much money?
• 1:03:39
  Does he does he know what to do with it?
• 1:03:44
  Well, you know, what's interesting what you do with
• 1:03:46
  your bank account is filled with millions and millions and
• 1:03:48
  millions of what's interesting about, I reckon he does a lot of
• 1:03:51
  Charity stuff because especially in the last couple of years he's
• 1:03:55
  really got into it stoicism stoicism stoicism something like
• 1:04:00
  that but basically he's under this belief.
• 1:04:03
  I don't know if it's under Buddhism or something but he got
• 1:04:06
  rid of like loads of his stuff like physical possessions.
• 1:04:12
  Because of his beliefs and he's trying to live a kind of a
• 1:04:16
  minimalist, kind of Life. How do you live a minimalist
• 1:04:20
  life with like billions in your bank account?
• 1:04:24
  Okay, well, first of all, he doesn't have billions.
• 1:04:26
  And secondly he has loads of young like 89 million a year
• 1:04:31
  round about. He probably puts a long just
• 1:04:33
  sticking that's the first the first of all dude.
• 1:04:35
  Okay, his one thing you got, think about tax.
• 1:04:40
  He gets taxed a lot. On that.
• 1:04:42
  That's a first thing, right? He won't get all 89 million Hill
• 1:04:46
  called we get like what I mean, if you think the UK tax rate is
• 1:04:51
  typically 40 50 percent for higher earners, who aren't half
• 1:04:55
  that 40 million, I think none of the other videos that bank
• 1:05:00
  account true, but you still have to pay tax of some description
• 1:05:06
  Jeremy. You can't completely avoid it
• 1:05:08
  anyway. Well, I mean loads of people got
• 1:05:11
  done for tax avoidance schemes in the UK and he's the UK
• 1:05:14
  residents. I doubt he wants to get done
• 1:05:16
  especially because the bad press, it would bring.
• 1:05:18
  So I think We can sort of safely say that he's paying a statuses,
• 1:05:21
  you know, especially if he considering he's so much in the
• 1:05:24
  public eye and his his whole thing is about having a good
• 1:05:30
  rep. You know, I mean, like having a
• 1:05:32
  bad rep in his position especially especially with what
• 1:05:35
  happens a few years ago. I mean, he got some you got some
• 1:05:38
  bad PR so he's trying to get. He's trying to wreck.
• 1:05:42
  It wasn't even that bad as well. Like he shouldn't have said it,
• 1:05:44
  don't get me wrong. But as far as like things that
• 1:05:46
  people are bad, like it's not that bad.
• 1:05:49
  Came out on the street. We just said he didn't even
• 1:05:51
  know. It was, it was that contest of
• 1:05:52
  gaming like I can remember when I used to play Call of Duty
• 1:05:56
  years ago. When I was a teenager, people
• 1:05:57
  used to say a lot worse in the lobby.
• 1:05:59
  That's budge. Oh, yeah.
• 1:06:00
  No, no one. No, you think that's bad, man.
• 1:06:03
  You should have heard some of the stuff that I know what it's
• 1:06:05
  like, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Search and Destroy lobbies at
• 1:06:09
  all, it was way worse because the husband in the original in
• 1:06:12
  the OG days it was way worse. Trust me, Evan Black Ops 2.
• 1:06:16
  If you played some Search and Destroy it was forced game.
• 1:06:18
  Chat. So you weren't allowed to be in
• 1:06:20
  a party so you have to you you got some crap, 20 minutes.
• 1:06:27
  Yeah, if you if you if you guys killed in the stupidest way
• 1:06:30
  possible, you're going to hear about it.
• 1:06:33
  That's why they removed it in Black Ops 3.
• 1:06:37
  I think it was the voice track in general just like no forced
• 1:06:42
  getting chunks. So why was it important as well?
• 1:06:45
  I don't start. So, I like everyone had to talk
• 1:06:46
  to everyone. Regardless of team was
• 1:06:48
  something. Yeah, because you're in a party
• 1:06:51
  with someone on the enemy team. Like, if your friend is on the
• 1:06:54
  enemy team, we can give away Physicians.
• 1:06:56
  I don't know. Okay, without alerting the team.
• 1:07:02
  You find behind the he's behind you.
• 1:07:06
  Hey Oh, no, he isn't. Oh, yes, he is.
• 1:07:13
  Oh no, he isn't. I always used to love just
• 1:07:16
  killing someone with the pocket knife.
• 1:07:19
  Just fling it, especially if it will get the, the final kill
• 1:07:22
  like the girl on the killcam that.
• 1:07:23
  Oh yeah, the throwing down here. It was used to piss everyone
• 1:07:27
  off. It's great play.
• 1:07:31
  I don't play that much. Call of Duty anymore.
• 1:07:32
  I mostly play Battlefield and playing Battlefield Hardline at
• 1:07:35
  the minute, which is sort of the cops and robbers.
• 1:07:38
  Version of block out the battlefield because the salt I
• 1:07:43
  guess want to do something different.
• 1:07:44
  Yeah that's important to do that.
• 1:07:46
  I feel like ecology is always kind of the same thing every
• 1:07:48
  year to my mean it's a bit like sure you can run around doesn't
• 1:07:52
  operate it with it with Ma and ser and are ke.
• 1:07:55
  Mmm, what what I find most satisfying this when you either
• 1:08:00
  use like a smaller weapon like a knife or a baseball bat, you
• 1:08:06
  take them down. Yeah.
• 1:08:08
  Cuz they don't expect that you come in with a baton and slam
• 1:08:11
  them on the floor. And it's a blunt weapon, you can
• 1:08:15
  interrogate them, but if it's like a knife, you always do the
• 1:08:18
  Blendtec down, but you can also have heavy melee weapons which
• 1:08:23
  take a while to swing, but you can swing like a sledgehammer.
• 1:08:27
  A shovel as an inquisition sword.
• 1:08:31
  Golden Golf Club at people. What's your weapon of choice?
• 1:08:35
  Shovel shovel. Going to shovel him to death
• 1:08:40
  because after I do that the great with it, say smart
• 1:08:45
  thinking that you didn't think I did.
• 1:08:48
  Yeah. Well the man to take his
• 1:08:54
  creative genius. Okay.
• 1:08:57
  So lots, we're going to break into this ball.
• 1:09:00
  When you steal the money, we're going to get out nice and clean.
• 1:09:03
  Here you go and 4 & 4, & 4 and as your special West a pink
• 1:09:09
  shotgun or now for the my light weapons.
• 1:09:14
  You've got baseball, bat, you've got a life, you've got a
• 1:09:18
  sledgehammer and you even at the golden god Club Sledgehammer is
• 1:09:22
  so impractical so it really isn't because yeah it's fucking
• 1:09:26
  ages to go. Where's the basement?
• 1:09:30
  Quit? Oh, nice and quick.
• 1:09:33
  Because they because like the best one, but the hold it with
• 1:09:35
  one hand to the just sort of wonder if this.
• 1:09:37
  Yeah. Where is the sledgehammer?
• 1:09:38
  You have to like swing it behind you.
• 1:09:40
  Put all your weight into abided by that time.
• 1:09:42
  Someone's already shot. You today are for sliced, your
• 1:09:44
  innards out. Yeah.
• 1:09:45
  But you can you can sort of work out the timing so that like if
• 1:09:49
  someone is at the top of the stairs, you know, you're walking
• 1:09:52
  up the stairs, you can start with swing.
• 1:09:54
  And by the time you get that the top bonds dumb The noise it, the
• 1:10:01
  noise, it makes. Oh, I'm going to send you a link
• 1:10:04
  to you. Need to see it's I'll check it
• 1:10:09
  out after the podcast. Nice one.
• 1:10:12
  Oh, hey, as a kind of like a final question.
• 1:10:17
  Since December is approaching, I think this will drop this.
• 1:10:20
  Episode will drop early December.
• 1:10:25
  What do you think about how YouTube works or that?
• 1:10:30
  I guess if it even applies to to us small YouTubers, who haven't,
• 1:10:35
  who can't monetize their content?
• 1:10:37
  Because, you know, they talk about, you know, the PM rate,
• 1:10:40
  being really high in December. Do you think there's any
• 1:10:43
  benefits to small creators right now for December?
• 1:10:47
  Honestly, I've got no idea. I think there are enough.
• 1:10:52
  YouTube is A lot of bollocks really they don't they don't
• 1:10:59
  they don't care about the little guys, that is true.
• 1:11:04
  They just want to give all of the money to the people who
• 1:11:08
  bring them money. You bring them all of the
• 1:11:11
  friggin monetization money in the advert and things like that.
• 1:11:14
  They just want to get that piece and leave the little guys with
• 1:11:18
  the scraps. Yeah, It's Tricky is probably
• 1:11:22
  the hardest time. It's ever been to to become a
• 1:11:25
  successful career. If you've got under a hundred,
• 1:11:30
  three hundred, five hundred thousand.
• 1:11:33
  You can forget about it, there's no help from YouTube.
• 1:11:35
  He sure, I mean, I don't know, I've seen a lot of people that
• 1:11:38
  doing pretty good views for with that.
• 1:11:40
  There is many songs. If you've got the monetization,
• 1:11:43
  and you're getting recommended a lot, then they'll sort of keep
• 1:11:47
  an eye on you, but they won't give you per se because even
• 1:11:50
  even mine, like, okay, I'm yeah I'd barely any of you use, I'm
• 1:11:53
  on 500 Subs by, I've noticed that Some of my videos, do get
• 1:11:57
  suggested at least. So it's there is something going
• 1:12:01
  on my view. My videos, don't go suggests
• 1:12:05
  that how they will? They were, I think it depends on
• 1:12:08
  a couple of things. It's also the tags you're using
• 1:12:10
  and stuff and to a lesser extent, the sub-camp, I don't
• 1:12:15
  think the sub count is as relevant.
• 1:12:17
  I think it's more to do with, with your tags and your
• 1:12:19
  hashtags. All that crap.
• 1:12:21
  Starts haven't checked my YouTube Studio on a while,
• 1:12:24
  actually. Second Q&A, video I did is on 8
• 1:12:28
  News. Hey, they go.
• 1:12:31
  And since watch calculation was coming out I made a Watchdogs
• 1:12:34
  video which has got only 37 years that's pretty good.
• 1:12:38
  But say your QA is get more views than mine do.
• 1:12:41
  So and what although In fairness minor like super long, however,
• 1:12:47
  prank the pranking, my dad video, guys, they'll go in up
• 1:12:50
  its on 124 views. Yeah, that makes sense because
• 1:12:54
  it's a very generic kind of Of title to have pranking my dad.
• 1:12:57
  And I mean people probably post videos like that all the time.
• 1:13:00
  So it's and my God, the the rise and fall of Brothers Band of
• 1:13:07
  video that I made Slowly gaining, but now it's 170 volts.
• 1:13:16
  Yeah, that happens. I've had a few videos that have
• 1:13:18
  had something like that. Where I uploaded them at first,
• 1:13:21
  there was Zero interest. And now they're like creeping up
• 1:13:24
  getting views here, and I'm certain that it's based purely
• 1:13:28
  on the tags, the title stuff like that, you know, nothing
• 1:13:31
  else. Now, if you use of dropped by
• 1:13:35
  61% of watch x, dropped by 55% You just haven't been uploading.
• 1:13:40
  That's fine. Again, one subscriber last 28
• 1:13:43
  days, so once nice, that's good epic.
• 1:13:48
  It's be being able to gain subscribers and Views when
• 1:13:51
  you're not uploading. That's impressive.
• 1:13:53
  You know, that's kind of what I hope for because if I have like
• 1:13:55
  times where I'm not uploading, I want my channel to still be
• 1:13:58
  performing for me, you know? I mean, that would be ideal.
• 1:14:02
  It's part of the reason why I upload so much is to build like
• 1:14:05
  a base of content, you know? I mean so, But anyways, I can
• 1:14:13
  see. I can see some of my recent
• 1:14:15
  subscribers and one of them is someone from school so that all
• 1:14:18
  mm. Yeah, I can't even see mine.
• 1:14:21
  I don't know what it is about mine but most of mine, I guess a
• 1:14:23
  private you just go on your dashboard will go along.
• 1:14:26
  Yeah. I've so I've seen but most of
• 1:14:28
  them don't make themselves like publicly visible.
• 1:14:32
  It's because they need to be an actual channel.
• 1:14:35
  So they need to have at least uploaded once to be A natural
• 1:14:39
  channel. So that otherwise this because
• 1:14:41
  like there's an account and there's a channel and account,
• 1:14:45
  it's just like a video that you would, it's just as yeah, I
• 1:14:48
  don't even watch his videos. So I've got a lot.
• 1:14:50
  I've got a lot of subscribers that don't upload basically, and
• 1:14:53
  just have account. Yeah, that's fine.
• 1:14:56
  Because Malik sir somehow has one subscriber actually?
• 1:14:59
  No. No, I'm going to go to subscribe
• 1:15:00
  to. Faster.
• 1:15:03
  Faster. There are YouTubers out there
• 1:15:05
  that have not uploaded a single video but have like hundreds of
• 1:15:08
  thousands of subscribers that's kind of a bit nuts.
• 1:15:11
  There's like a whole thing to it as well, that people want to
• 1:15:14
  know what really sort of puts me down.
• 1:15:17
  I'm gone. Is that, like people are wary on
• 1:15:20
  Instagram about following people because they want their
• 1:15:22
  followers to remain low, right? So they want that following to
• 1:15:25
  remain low, you know what with YouTube?
• 1:15:29
  It doesn't say how much. You're subscribed to people.
• 1:15:36
  Like it doesn't. If it is irrelevant though, what
• 1:15:38
  does it matter? Because they've got literally no
• 1:15:42
  reason not to subscribe. Would you mean because like on
• 1:15:47
  Instagram it tells you how many people you're following.
• 1:15:50
  And people normally want to keep the followers higher than the
• 1:15:54
  following. Yeah.
• 1:15:56
  Right. And with YouTube, there is no
• 1:15:58
  number because like no one cares about that.
• 1:16:03
  Yeah. It's like like, oh well, I mean,
• 1:16:08
  it's all over. It's going to do is put them in
• 1:16:11
  my subscription box, it doesn't in.
• 1:16:13
  Nobody can see how many people obviously Up to, so they have no
• 1:16:16
  reason not to subscribe to you, they just don't, I don't know
• 1:16:21
  YouTubers. I mean, I remember having a chat
• 1:16:24
  with trial by fire Aaron Wise about this, and he kind of made
• 1:16:30
  the point that, you know, gaining a subscription from
• 1:16:33
  someone is a lot tougher these days because it used to be that
• 1:16:36
  you just do it out of like habit.
• 1:16:38
  But these days, I mean, chances are, you're probably subscribe
• 1:16:41
  to a lot of channels that you and you watch.
• 1:16:45
  A fraction of them on a regular basis, right?
• 1:16:47
  So subscribing to someone and also like, turning on the
• 1:16:51
  notifications and stuff. It can be.
• 1:16:53
  I remember, I remember back when I didn't upload videos, I used
• 1:16:56
  to Rose. I saw a video on my subscription
• 1:16:59
  and my recommended and watch it. I kind of enjoy it, so like
• 1:17:03
  that. And I subscribe to them.
• 1:17:04
  That's it. I've been thinking.
• 1:17:07
  Should I start? Yeah.
• 1:17:08
  But it did it. I'm saying, is this like it
• 1:17:10
  gives you lots of notifications if you tend to are you can turn
• 1:17:12
  the notifications off and stuff but that's what I've done.
• 1:17:14
  I've done. Is no notification budges on
• 1:17:17
  YouTube. Otherwise the people thousand
• 1:17:22
  percent of the budget is. I'm not sure if you do this as
• 1:17:24
  well, this is this Torres. This is my home screen here.
• 1:17:29
  And as you can see these red badges on my notifications.
• 1:17:34
  Yeah. And they're only on apps, where
• 1:17:38
  the notifications are important, like, WhatsApp, Instagram,
• 1:17:43
  things like that. But for game, Games and Things
• 1:17:46
  That Just pump out loads of notifications from all the.
• 1:17:48
  I hate that so much like Gmail and games and YouTube, whether
• 1:17:53
  or not that important I just turn them off.
• 1:17:55
  Yeah, same II don't understand why they send you so many as
• 1:17:58
  well. Anyway, it's like I don't give a
• 1:17:59
  fuck. I got Pokemon go.
• 1:18:00
  Okay, such as doing this. Yeah, I got Pokemon go again
• 1:18:04
  recently and I had to turn off the sign the subscriptions for
• 1:18:07
  that and so the notifications for that you think Pokemon go
• 1:18:10
  was worth getting. Whose eye is mean, I have
• 1:18:14
  trouble trouble quite a bit. I mean, it's fine if you just
• 1:18:16
  want to kill a couple of minutes, but I don't I don't
• 1:18:20
  know, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna get it.
• 1:18:22
  I haven't had it back in 2016. When it first came out, I paid
• 1:18:27
  it for like, a couple of months. And then, again, me to the
• 1:18:30
  board, Because like, I understand why people want it
• 1:18:37
  because it just like you said, it kills loads of time really
• 1:18:40
  quickly. So I get bored of it quickly
• 1:18:44
  though. You know, I mean I remember when
• 1:18:50
  I first came out, it was around the time where my mom got
• 1:18:52
  married and I was the sort of wedding place.
• 1:18:56
  We stayed there for like a night.
• 1:18:58
  I think it was, and I mean, look, cousin was sat outside the
• 1:19:04
  front shortly before the recession started, and we were
• 1:19:09
  trying to get Pokemon go to work.
• 1:19:11
  We would make a neck, make it trying to make an account, and
• 1:19:14
  try to do, literally try and try, literally everything to
• 1:19:18
  make it work. They just would not budge with.
• 1:19:21
  So we uninstalled it reinstalled, it turned off the
• 1:19:25
  Wi-Fi, turn the Wi-Fi back on, turn the debtor of, turn it back
• 1:19:29
  on, and it was having none of it.
• 1:19:32
  Hmm. So eventually we just bought of
• 1:19:35
  both sort of looked at each other and just when you want to
• 1:19:38
  go get some drinks. Yeah, sure.
• 1:19:41
  She went over to our grandma, got some jttours or she calls a
• 1:19:44
  Jato Rockets. I'm a bit.
• 1:19:49
  That's, that's the that's the go-to drink.
• 1:19:50
  When you're in, you're too young to drink alcohol.
• 1:19:52
  Joe to oath. They even if you deliberately
• 1:19:55
  causing it, she calls a Jell-O Jell-O.
• 1:19:58
  They deliberately shape it. Like an alcoholic, drink as
• 1:20:01
  well. Just to rub it in even further.
• 1:20:02
  The not I don't think it's that I think it's just a well-known
• 1:20:06
  fact that everything tastes better out of the glass bowl
• 1:20:09
  crew could szostak bottles and man cans of food unless it's
• 1:20:14
  monster but glass bottles and the bomb the bomb, the bomb,
• 1:20:21
  man. It's blast glass, milk glass
• 1:20:25
  glass of milk and you know what? You normally getting the gospels
• 1:20:30
  and move, No, no. You're old enough to remember
• 1:20:32
  that? No, no, I was in the fucking 50s
• 1:20:37
  or some shit on it. That's my point.
• 1:20:39
  Yeah, I'm 27 not 48, mine. You forget, I was born in 93,
• 1:20:48
  mate, wasn't that? I mean, if you think about it,
• 1:20:52
  you're only like 11 years older than me.
• 1:20:58
  Doesn't fall 1980 in 2004. I would have been 10 or 11 years
• 1:21:05
  old. Yeah so you like 10 or 11 years
• 1:21:07
  old? Yeah, that much. that's why this
• 1:21:11
  crossover, I mean, because my eldest brother is 15.
• 1:21:17
  I think. So he's very similar in mindset
• 1:21:20
  to you well, though. Now, no actually you're very
• 1:21:23
  different as people. I would say.
• 1:21:26
  But the ability to be able to talk to him and talk to you is
• 1:21:30
  very different. I feel very like I have a lot in
• 1:21:32
  common with you and I can talk to you whereas, with him, it's
• 1:21:35
  like, he's on a different planet, honestly, but we get on.
• 1:21:38
  He's a smart kid. He's intelligent.
• 1:21:40
  He's interesting and all that, right?
• 1:21:42
  But there is a disconnect there, and that's why I feel like I'm
• 1:21:47
  an adult now because it's like, there's a cross off a cut-off
• 1:21:50
  point where if I talk to someone that's younger than a certain
• 1:21:54
  age it's like I just there's nothing to talk about.
• 1:21:56
  I just I don't know what, I don't know what you're talking
• 1:21:57
  about, I don't know how to relate to you.
• 1:21:59
  I feel like if I say certain things, it makes me sound
• 1:22:03
  ancient, which I hate. I mean, this is kind of weird
• 1:22:07
  because even though I'm 16, I enjoy all the things.
• 1:22:13
  Yeah. Like, like good old stuff.
• 1:22:16
  Mmm, it was the same when I was your age.
• 1:22:19
  My music taste is mostly stuff out of the 60s. 70s 80s.
• 1:22:24
  Hmm. So not that Martin shy, that's
• 1:22:28
  all that's all mixed on a computer.
• 1:22:30
  Like, actual actual music that was made with guitars pianos and
• 1:22:35
  keyboards. Yeah, ones not the medicine.
• 1:22:43
  Yeah. It's a bit like it.
• 1:22:44
  Making a song nowadays. Re just so 1, so 2.
• 1:22:51
  So 3 done. Yeah, so and it's bonus long.
• 1:23:00
  It's very now bottom. It took me 15 minutes done.
• 1:23:03
  All right, I call this album does not compute whoo-hoo, get
• 1:23:09
  it because it really was a says Nah.
• 1:23:17
  Anyway, yeah. No, I don't like that.
• 1:23:22
  You should do that video. They find that now even a little
• 1:23:26
  grin. I think.
• 1:23:27
  So, however, the banner because it's got black face in it, I as
• 1:23:34
  I'm saying with come not, come fly with me.
• 1:23:37
  Yeah, fly with me. Yeah, I don't know where I stand
• 1:23:41
  on that whole thing. I think I can see why people
• 1:23:43
  think it's offensive is invisible, but at the same time,
• 1:23:45
  I don't know if I would fully. I mean, I don't remember like
• 1:23:50
  when it came out. I don't remember people.
• 1:23:52
  Yeah, I can see the dog. It's beautiful.
• 1:23:58
  He's good girl sponsored by Stalin.
• 1:24:03
  Did you know there's a subreddit on Reddit for dogs?
• 1:24:07
  Just dogs. Flash dogs, dogs are dogs.
• 1:24:14
  I don't get it so much. I don't get it so much but I'm
• 1:24:18
  gonna have to ask La Bouche. All right.
• 1:24:23
  As we draw things to a close for today and got anything to share
• 1:24:27
  with our esteemed audience, No, maybe a joke. or inspiring
• 1:24:37
  saying, Something big that's coming out in December.
• 1:24:42
  What did the YouTube across the road?
• 1:24:45
  I don't know deals. Why did the YouTube across the
• 1:24:48
  road? He was trying to get
• 1:24:50
  monetization when you got hit by a car.
• 1:24:54
  You should have said monetized. I would have been funny.
• 1:24:59
  You was trying to get monetization but he shall get
• 1:25:02
  monetized. Now, on a serious note, you
• 1:25:10
  doing anything in December? Anything content wise, we can
• 1:25:13
  look out for Thank you. I was going to do a Christmas
• 1:25:19
  Vlog, but I don't know. Don't know.
• 1:25:22
  Okay. Well because because I really
• 1:25:26
  want to build Christmas because I know it's different.
• 1:25:30
  Mmm, most of my viewers are English so they don't know what
• 1:25:34
  the Dutch culture is when it comes to Christmas, but also a
• 1:25:39
  kind of just one and enjoy Christmas with my family.
• 1:25:43
  You could just, I don't know. You could do like a series of
• 1:25:46
  videos. He doesn't have to be at
• 1:25:49
  Christmas but just like showing Dutch culture in at Christmas
• 1:25:54
  time and then just release them over the pre-scheduled them over
• 1:25:56
  the period. While you're just enjoying, you
• 1:25:59
  know, time with your family. So recorder is that is Christmas
• 1:26:04

• 1:26:23
  them in England, but they are so Moorish.
• 1:26:26
  So addictive, and it's just a Christmasy thing as part of
• 1:26:30
  Christmas in Estonia. I'm sure in, you know, the
• 1:26:33
  Netherlands. They've got like Christmas Eve

  supporters on my YouTube channel, I will remove them as a
• 1:27:17

• 1:27:19
  Controversial even, even if I was one subscriber, even not,

• 1:28:32
  babysitting this point. Yeah, you look at it.
• 1:28:36
  You're not getting, you're not getting paid for this either
• 1:28:38

  You think if we've discovered anything for out the you know
• 1:28:51
  this whole conversation is that anyone can suddenly have a
• 1:28:55
  change of Fortunes by that guy that I mentioned to you.
• 1:28:57
  Adam Barrow, you know his YouTube fortunes just
• 1:29:00
  skyrocketed, you know, it can happen.
• 1:29:03
  It does happen. Sometimes it happens overnight,
• 1:29:06
  so it happens. But anyway, Chris to yes, what?
• 1:29:11
  And I think the second time you Okay.
• 1:29:15

• 1:29:24
  I loved it. Okay, it's just one thing before
• 1:29:26

• 1:29:28
  podcast. Do was put his hand up.
• 1:29:33
  Like, it's class like cani cani on sir.

• 1:30:00
  Oh, okay, so for those, not listening, so for those

• 1:30:08
  those listening. I got it right.
• 1:30:09
  The first time for those listening.
• 1:30:10
  He there's a function in Zoom where you can like click and it
• 1:30:14
  makes a little notification appear in the top right hand
• 1:30:16
  corner, which says raising hand. But it would actually just be
• 1:30:20
  easier to just actually put your hand up on camera.
• 1:30:23
  Like who's going to see that little tiny one.
• 1:30:25
  But what if it's like, what if what if like because I know in
• 1:30:30
  my online classes on Microsoft teams, I don't put my camera on
• 1:30:35

  So, okay, I'll just, I'll just sit like this.
