  • So this is my third question and answer video. The last one was about a year ago, so it's

  • high time for another one. I asked on Twitter a couple days ago what questions you guys

  • have for me, and today I'm going to answer some of them here on camera.

  • [Intro]

  • The first one is from my buddy Super Saf, and he says, “Do you even lift, Bro?”

  • I actually do enjoy going to the gym. I go pretty much every single day. Since I'm self-employed

  • doing this whole YouTube thing, it's kind of like my only social interaction throughout

  • the day, and so it's kind of important. More than lifting though, I like running. I've

  • done two marathons, I've done quite a few Spartan races, I think like 8 or 9, and then

  • a ton of Ragnar races as well. It's kind of like a relay race where you have 12 people

  • and you run for like, a day and a half straight. But yeah, to answer your question, I think

  • the gym and exercising is a very important part of a well rounded life. And I try to

  • have a well rounded life in as many areas as possible.

  • The next question is from Candice Navarro and it says, “Is it true that Apple took

  • the headphone jack off because they ran out of screws over the years they've been screwing

  • people?” I think you and I would get along very well.

  • Speaking of Apple philosophies, we have Deke asking, “Will you ever start buying phones

  • without a headphone jack? Is it really a must have for you?” To answer that question I

  • would say that everything I have in my life is useful in one way or another. I pick the

  • most useful things for me. One example would be that I've carried a pocket knife with me

  • every day for like the last 10 years, give or take. It's this pocket knife right here,

  • and I choose that this one's the most useful for me because it has swappable razor blades.

  • So when one gets dull I can just swap it out really easily, pop it back in my knife and

  • it's good to go. And so for me personally, this knife is the most useful. It's cheap,

  • efficient and effective. And in my daily driver, like my vehicle, my truck, I have a tool box

  • in the back that is constantly prepared with a bunch of different tools that I could use

  • in any kind of situation. Now a cellphone is the exact same way. I want my cellphone

  • to be equipped with all the tools that I might need, even if I don't actually need to use

  • them that same day.

  • Like I personally own a ton of wireless Bluetooth headphones and I love them. Like running on

  • a treadmill with a cable attached to your ears is kind of dangerous. I've seen people

  • whack that cable and their cellphone goes flying across the room. I've even done that

  • a couple times. So wireless headphones are a must at the gym. But I have left my headphones

  • at home a couple times and I'm not going to buy a brand new $70-$100 pair of headphones

  • at the gym. I would much rather buy a $10 corded pair of headphones that I can leave

  • in my truck or leave in a car, leave in your backpack, just to have whenever you might

  • forget your expensive pair of headphones. A headphone jack is also useful when you're

  • driving around in someone's car and they have an AUX cable that you can just plug into your

  • phone to listen to music. Don't have a headphone jackcan't plug your phone in. Or if you're

  • an entrepreneur and you need need one of those Square readers to plug in to take credit cards

  • with your phoneyou need a headphone jack for that. Or if you're on a long flight, 10

  • or 15 hours, and your battery dies in your wireless headphones, it's nice to have a cable

  • to plug into your phone and use. So for me personally, right now, while there are still

  • phones out there with a headphone jack installed, like the LG V30 or the Samsung Galaxy Note,

  • or the Galaxy S8, I'm going to pick one of those phones because it's useful more often

  • than not. My daily driver is going to have a headphone jack because I like useful things.

  • Alright we have another question from Zach, good name by the way, “If it wasn't for

  • YouTube, what would you be doing?” I would say if it wasn't for YouTube right now, I

  • would probably still be fixing stuff and working on things. When I first started my YouTube

  • channel, I was actually working on jeeps. Like my first 50 or so videos was me doing

  • CV axle swaps. I did an engine swap in a Grande Cherokee. Working on big tangible objects.

  • I mean don't get me wrong, cell phones are great, but they're really small and I would

  • prefer to work on something bigger. So if it wasn't for YouTube, I would probably either

  • be doing construction somewhere or being an auto mechanic, but still focusing on the business

  • aspect of it and not just being a technician. I'd probably own my own little shop somewhere.

  • And also, I probably wouldn't be that big into social media, and my phone would probably

  • be 2 or 3 years old and broken several times over.

  • Not sure how to say this one...Kvaju says, “Do you put dbrand skin on your phones or

  • do they come preinstalled? Because they are pretty hard to install.” So actually my

  • job right before I started YouTube was working as a cell phone sales rep for one of the major

  • carriers here in the United States. And so I've put on over thousands and thousands of

  • screen protectors on customers phones. So putting on a dbrand skin is actually pretty

  • easy for me, and I've installed all the ones you've seen on my channel myself. But it does

  • take a little bit of practice and patience to get it right. One trick if you're installing

  • a screen protector and you get like a little piece of dust or something underneath, lift

  • it up, I know a razor blade is probably not the tool of choice for most everybody, but

  • lift it up with something sharp like a toothpick or a needle or something like that, and then

  • you can stick a piece of clear Scotch tape underneath and grab that dust speck, pull

  • it out and let the screen protector fold back down over the screen again. Little trick of

  • the trade.

  • Elliot Cardwell asks, “How frequently do you change your daily driver? And what's been

  • your most used phone ever?” Switching my daily driver...I hate switching my phone actually,

  • even though I have a lot of phones available to me (that have all been damaged slightly),

  • I don't switch my phone that often. I use my tested Galaxy S7 Edge for about a full

  • year before I switched to the Galaxy S8 Plus. And that's the phone that I'm using right

  • now- the Galaxy S8 Plus. I do have the Note, but I haven't switched to that. I don't feel

  • like there's that much of a benefit from me switching from this phone, which is about

  • the same size, all the way to the Note. I would like that second camera, having that

  • telephoto lens would be pretty cool. It's not worth the effort for me to switch over

  • to that phone for just that one small increment of improvement. So I'm going to stick with

  • the Galaxy S8 for a while. If I wasn't a YouTuber though, like I mentioned before, I would probably

  • keep my phone for 2 or 3 years before switching. But to answer your question, I switch about

  • once a year.

  • So there were actually a couple of these questions. DiamondGuy asks, “Do you have a car? If

  • yes, what type is it?” Let me show you. So I drive a 1998 Toyota Tacoma. This thing

  • has 242,000 miles on it. It's held together with a little bit of duct tape. Over here

  • on this light, I hit a fence a couple years ago, and this light I've never been able to

  • get back in the right spot, so I just have some tape holding it in place. I scratched

  • a little bit of the backside right there. Added the light bar a couple years ago. So

  • one of the bad things with Toyotas is that they never die. This thing has 242,000 miles

  • on it. I replaced the muffler actually a couple days ago because it was wearing a hole through

  • the center of my bed. So you can actually see down into the ground below my truck. There's

  • that toolbox I was talking about. There's actually a hole right there in the bed as

  • well. And this has working out really well for me for a really long time. I'll probably

  • get a new one here in the future, probably another Tacoma. I've had good luck with them

  • in the past, but this one's doing just fine.

  • The next question is from Runstairs and he says, “Why is your Tacoma so old and beat

  • up? I'm sure your YouTube money could buy you a new one.” I think she's beautiful.

  • What was your favorite video on your channel so far?” So I had to think about this one

  • for a second. I have over 500 videos on my channel and I've enjoyed every single one

  • of them, but if I had to pick my favorite videos, they would be my drone history series.

  • I only have 4 of them right now, but I would choose them because one, I get to travel,

  • two, I get to learn something which is kind of like the whole point of life, and three,

  • I get to show something from a a unique perspective that hasn't been seen before from an aerial

  • shot of a drone. I've done Hitler's anti-aircraft tower in Germany. I've done an illegal Stairway

  • to Heaven hike in Hawaii which is pretty intense as well. Done another castle in Germany. And

  • I've done the world's largest waterfall in Africa. I've done another one that doesn't

  • quite count. It's an underwater drone that did Cancun at the Underwater Museum. It's

  • a bunch of statues that are buried under water to help facilitate the plant and animal life

  • below the ocean. So it's not quite like an aerial drone review but it's still pretty

  • sweet. I'll link all 5 of those videos down in the video description of this video if

  • you want to check those out. They're my favorite.

  • Allen Porter says, “What is the most common rookie mistake people make when trying to

  • fix a phone?” I would say...so I get a lot of comments on my videos, a lot of people

  • who have been successful with their repairs and some who have not. And I would say the

  • consistent factor in those people who haven't been successful with their repair is that

  • they weren't gentle enough, they used too much force, or they put their screws back

  • in the wrong hole. So go slow, and be gentle, and make sure you put your screws back where

  • you found them. Remember that these phones are incredibly fragile and expensive. And

  • if it's your first time repairing a phone, it's a pretty difficult project. The good

  • thing though is that once you've repaired one phone, that same skill set applies to

  • all the phones, and it gets easier as you go along.

  • Dennis says, “What's the best tip you could give for someone just starting out with YouTube

  • videos (doing tech reviews or similar)?” I would say the biggest tip I could give is

  • to just get started. That seems to be the biggest hurdle with everyone I've talked to

  • and I've talked to hundreds of people. I think most people are surprised at how much work

  • it is after uploading one or two videos. But the biggest thing is just people not starting.

  • You don't need to wait for the perfect moment, that'll never arrive. And you don't need to

  • wait till you have an expensive camera or tools or setup. I think my first 100 or so

  • videos were all shot with my cell phone. And this was back 5 years ago when cell phones

  • weren't even shooting in 1080p. I think 720 was some of my first videos. That was the

  • maximum resolution that phones could shoot at. And cellphones nowadays are pretty incredible.

  • So it's important not to let your dreams just be dreams and actually do something about

  • them. I'll so a new set tour here in a couple weeks. I am in a new space, so my setup tour

  • from 2016 is incredibly outdated. I'll make sure to have that up before the end of the

  • year for sure.

  • And the last question is, “Do you have a website?” And yes I do actually. I have

  • a website that talks about some of the conferences that I've spoken at. It also has a little

  • bit more about me. And, I also sell some of these shirtsMoh is my Bro”. I can pretty

  • much guarantee that no one who doesn't watch this channel is going to know what this shirt

  • even means, so it's kind of fun to wear it around. I'll have these shirts and everything

  • else I've talked about in this video linked in the video description, and I'll be hanging

  • around in the comments section for about an hour after this video has been posted, so

  • if you have any more questions, let me know and I'll answer them down there for ya.

  • Once again, thank you so much for watching. I could not do whit channel without you. I

  • really do appreciate it every time you come back and watch something else that I've made.

  • Thanks a ton for watching and I'll see you around.

So this is my third question and answer video. The last one was about a year ago, so it's
