 Right my friends? That's better. How are we doing? How are we doing? Welcome back to my bedroom, welcome back to New Zealand, welcome back to another video and all of those good things. First and foremost I want to say that this channel is indeed currently dying a slow and painful death and I'm okay with that. But does that have to be the case? Can I somehow, someway reinvigorate this channel and begin growing it organically? I don't know but what I do know is that this type of video, this type of personal content is just not hitting the mark anymore. It's simply not. For those of you who do tune in to each and every one of my videos or majority of them, especially this type of like just one on one video, I want to say you guys you know you're absolutely amazing. You are the reason why I continue to create content. I got a comment the other day saying YouTube just isn't the same without you Jacob and I thought fuck if that is a genuine comment it's things like that. It's hearing just little things like that that that's the reason why I do this. It's the reason why I continue to update this channel and update you guys on what I'm up to and you know because some of you just like I have with other YouTube creators in the past some of you have an interest in what I'm doing so I want to say first and foremost you know thank you, thank you to those who have stuck with me. What have I been doing whilst here in New Zealand? Well pretty much the same as what I mentioned last time just getting my way through editing the top 100 series. I've currently got down to number 50 so we're halfway through but it's taken a lot longer than what I thought. My staying power, my you know my ability to concentrate on a task was taken like during the period of making the videos so it's diminished but it's not gone altogether. So I've made my way down to 50. I've uploaded those videos on this channel for members. There's been a few members come back in which is awesome you know for as little as two dollars a month you can have full access to that entire list of videos. I put my heart and soul into those videos man I really did and I do it every year. I do that every year I put everything I've got into those videos and it's a project that I really enjoy but it's a project that I feel as if you know especially due to the fact that YouTube have well the NFL have claimed content have claimed copyright on all of those videos which is fair enough. I don't think it's fair enough to be honest I feel like a reaction video to the level that I do them to the level that I've done these 100 videos just recently deserve fair use of using that copyrighted material. I believe that the battle that I'd have to go through on each and every single one of those videos to get that over the line is one that I don't have the capacity for and I just can't be fucked with so yeah I've just resigned myself to the fact that at least this year those 100 videos will be just for the audience and it's just you know my thanks to you for continuing to stick around and support this channel and what I've been up to. So that's pretty much been the majority of my day is just you know jumping on the computer in the morning getting through a few videos and basically just chilling out and to be honest I'm sick of it I am I want to get back to Alice Springs I want to get back to my kids I want to get back to work every day you know a day being 32 you know a day that I am not working to either earn money or working towards my other goals in life is a day wasted man and a day that I'm not around my kids is a day is a certainly a day wasted and the last couple of times the last couple of years that I've come back to New Zealand I haven't really felt that I haven't but I think it's just to do with age and maturity I am feeling that I'm feeling a big time so I will most likely be in New Zealand for about another week and then I'll make my way back to Alice Springs and and insert myself back into into life over there um I'll be taking back with me a hell of a lot less than what I brought over here so I want my life to be completely you know just focused on what the important things are and due to you know this channel dying a slow and painful death which is what I said at the start I need I need I need to switch things up you know and the thing is if I was ever going to get someone from the outside to come in and consult consult with me around my channel and around making it successful again which is something I've considered you know I don't know everything and what I'm doing isn't working so if that was to happen I know exactly what they do they'd look at my analytics they'd say right over the last 365 days which videos or which which niches of content are the most successful and I know what they are it's rugby it's American football and it's gynecomastia as well as fitness and bodybuilding which is where the base of my channel was was begun but yeah so if I want to if I want to go back to Alice Springs and continue to create content content that I can be passionate about and content that you guys actually may have an interest in it's not going to be these just random videos you know talking about me in my life it's not it's not interesting it's not interesting man and I get that I get that I think I was kind of clouded in thinking that just because people enjoy my reaction videos that they're going to be interested in my personal life and it's just not fucking case because I didn't come into this with a professional sports background or I wasn't famous or I wasn't it respected for anything I just a normal guy right I'm just trying to I was a normal guy that just really wanted to be successful on YouTube and I think I I definitely managed a fair amount of success but for me to continue having success I need to go back to those niches and and that's what I'm planning on doing so stay tuned stay tuned for that whether it's going to be around rugby American football gynecomastia or health and fitness those are the four topics I'm going to focus on I'm going to you know focus on I'm going to try and take the take the limelight off of myself take it off myself and put it on topics that I can actually discuss with a little bit of knowledge no I'm not an expert and I never will be but I can actually you know help people that's that's what this channel was about originally and and I want to continue it that way so yeah here we are two weeks in Alice Springs I'm about to go and meet my cousin for the first time in like five years so that'll be good kind of nervous to be honest even though they are family which is weird shouldn't be feeling like that but I am and that'll be my son Saturday and then tomorrow we've got UFC 292 and then Monday I've got a big plan a big plan I don't know if I'll let you know what that is on this channel but if you head over to my other channel it's okay to talk that is where I will discuss my big plan for the future so yeah I think that's about it I'll be here for another week and then I'll be quite happy and content with my trip and ready to go and insert myself back into the fray of Alice Springs so looking forward to that really appreciate you guys support on the last few videos it's just a bit of fun every now and then I'll get a bit of motivation to make content and you know I always hope that they're going to be the one that hits and brings in a whole heap of new viewers and I try and make them as you know I try and put some effort into the thumbnails and that and that type of thing but nothing's working really unfortunately nothing at the moment so these top 100 videos for anyone who isn't a member will begin dropping on the channel soon for the you know general audience and I hope you guys enjoy those that'll be an opportunity for me to sit back and just hopefully enjoy you guys enjoying them you know what I mean that'll be 50 50 days of releasing two videos per day and I hope you guys enjoy that's all I can say so that's just a little update from me Saturday the 19th of August missing my kids and I can't wait to see them thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one
