[0:01]good morning Fire Nation how are you

[0:03]this

[0:04]morning I am totally kidding that was a

[0:07]silly joke on my part I swear to God I'm

[0:09]not trying to make that a

[0:11]thing unless I am I don't think I am I

[0:15]think I'm kidding

[0:17]honestly oh I still love it though I I

[0:22]can't promise I won't do it again I

[0:24]can't promise

[0:26]that so I have a few things to talk

[0:29]about this morning I made a list to try

[0:32]to stay on topic but I am I've upped my

[0:34]editing skills so I can kind of work

[0:36]around that too so U if I sound a bit

[0:40]sniffly this morning I hope I

[0:43]don't I

[0:46]have learned that I am definitely

[0:48]allergic to my cats or something anyways

[0:53]uh I started taking zertek a couple days

[0:55]ago and that made such a big difference

[0:57]but I had left that out in my camper and

[1:00]I didn't go to my camper at all

[1:02]yesterday I was in the house all

[1:04]day so it's just it's worn off you know

[1:07]but that stuff really made a difference

[1:09]I'm going to take it every day now I

[1:11]think I'm probably allergic to my cats

[1:14]um that's another thing you I

[1:17]guess I don't know if it that's an age

[1:19]thing but it's something so anyway I

[1:23]went out to my RV to get it and I just I

[1:26]checked the temperature out there it's

[1:28]31 outside

[1:30]it's 36 in there so you know and I I

[1:34]don't think I said it's Monday morning

[1:36]it's it's 6:00 in the morning right now

[1:38]so you know probably the coldest it gets

[1:41]pretty much and it's 5° warmer

[1:46]so I mean I'm I'm just hoping my

[1:48]insulation helping a little bit I don't

[1:50]think we can really glean much from that

[1:52]though honestly and there's still a lot

[1:54]more to do so I I just I'm really hoping

[1:58]you know for a positive outcome

[2:02]there so in my first video about

[2:05]insulating I called it my first edited

[2:08]video when I started it I don't think I

[2:10]should have done that because all I

[2:12]really did was just compile a couple of

[2:16]videos you know and then package them as

[2:18]one real simple right but yesterday I

[2:22]posted my first video that was truly

[2:24]edited and I was quite proud of

[2:27]it

[2:28]I I I wanted to just tell a a story an

[2:33]honest one true

[2:35]story um that was inspiring mostly I

[2:38]just wanted to inspire you

[2:41]guys um I I and I you know did some

[2:45]editing like I cut out some of the

[2:47]rambling that I can do like I was like

[2:49]okay that little story there that's

[2:51]super not important I can cut that um I

[2:55]had some other ideas too I'm going to

[2:56]play around with this stuff and

[3:00]I put some things on the screen you know

[3:02]like I was I'm I'm proud of it I I'm I'm

[3:06]honestly proud of it like it just shows

[3:09]my skills improving you know

[3:11]and

[3:13]I I really enjoy it like I was saying in

[3:16]a different video it's like a new hobby

[3:18]for me

[3:20]and I don't want to say that this would

[3:23]ever become a career cuz I just I find

[3:25]that hard

[3:26]to I just find that hard to even the ad

[3:30]them like I just don't think I could

[3:31]ever

[3:33]be big enough big enough on here to ever

[3:38]like call it a career right but I mean

[3:42]who knows what will happen and I I'm I'm

[3:46]discovering that I'm open to it which

[3:49]is I I really don't even know what to

[3:51]say to that but um I I discovered I was

[3:57]a little bit bummed about how it

[3:59]performed Med and I just I want to talk

[4:01]about that for a minute just

[4:03]to kind of explore this a little bit

[4:05]with you I I don't know that I'm going

[4:07]to do it well because I'm still kind of

[4:09]processing it myself like I didn't know

[4:12]that I would care that much uh like it

[4:16]didn't perform great right but why would

[4:18]it which it performed as well as all my

[4:20]videos do and I should be super happy

[4:23]about that cuz it's been amazing you

[4:25]know the response I've received has been

[4:28]amazing iess guess just because it was

[4:31]you know I really put some some heart

[4:33]into it with the with the editing and

[4:35]all of that that I was hoping I guess I

[4:39]was just hoping it would do better you

[4:41]know at this time it's got 50 views and

[4:43]six likes and those six likes are me and

[4:46]my friends and family right

[4:48]so um and that shouldn't really bother

[4:51]me because when I watch YouTube I don't

[4:54]like a lot of comments either it's just

[4:56]I'm just watching YouTube you know and

[4:59]you know pretty much everyone in their

[5:00]videos tells you please like And

[5:01]subscribe and all that I don't want to

[5:03]do that I just because every time when

[5:06]I'm watching YouTube and I see that I'm

[5:07]just like if I want to do that I will I

[5:10]don't need

[5:11]reminding you know so I did put

[5:14]something up on the screen I'm good with

[5:17]that you know just it's there's no audio

[5:19]to it just a little thing and and I

[5:21]thought it was kind of cute and you know

[5:24]that's different but I

[5:26]just for

[5:28]me

[5:30]I

[5:31]just I know how I use YouTube and I

[5:34]guess you know how you just as a human

[5:36]like we just kind

[5:38]of we make assumptions about others

[5:40]being like us so I assume that when

[5:43]you're watching Youtube and you see

[5:45]someone say that you're like okay that's

[5:47]just it just I guess I think it's a

[5:49]little silly I don't know what to say

[5:51]about it not criticizing anyone I think

[5:54]I just

[5:55]I I don't want to get anyone mad at

[5:58]me um

[6:02]but what I discovered was that it's not

[6:06]about the likes for me it's

[6:09]about it's about it's about validation

[6:13]that's what it's

[6:14]about um I want to know that people

[6:16]watched it and liked it right I guess

[6:19]that's why there's a like

[6:21]button but you know a comment works just

[6:24]as well or you know just and I didn't

[6:28]realize I was looking for that I didn't

[6:31]I really didn't and so I was a little

[6:33]surprised by

[6:34]it um I think it's very important to get

[6:38]validation from within this is why I

[6:40]don't date in fact because whenever I

[6:42]did

[6:43]date I was always seeking the other

[6:46]person's validation and I just kind of

[6:48]became a different person and I didn't

[6:50]like that about

[6:52]myself and so I always I kind of had

[6:54]this Mantra that if you didn't love

[6:57]yourself fully before you got into a

[7:00]relationship you shouldn't be in one and

[7:02]that's kind of been My

[7:05]Philosophy pretty much my whole life and

[7:08]that's why I'm alone I guess I don't

[7:11]know if I'm right about that or not it's

[7:13]that's just how I've always

[7:15]felt and I kind of feel the same way

[7:19]about YouTube like if

[7:22]I just the act of creating should be

[7:25]enough right it it should be and

[7:28]somehow somehow I'm trying to find a way

[7:31]to get there because I think that's

[7:33]important that's how you that's how you

[7:35]maintain your authenticity in my opinion

[7:38]that's how you ensure that what you're

[7:41]putting out there is

[7:42]truly truly you and it's your message

[7:47]and you're

[7:50]just you're not playing to the crowd

[7:53]you're not trying to do the you know

[7:56]YouTube algorithm thing or whatever like

[7:59]I mean I guess that's how I would put it

[8:05]um at the same time I would discovered I

[8:08]actually care about my Channel's

[8:09]performance and that kind of surprised

[8:13]me I I think that I really enjoy this

[8:17]and I just want to entertain you guys

[8:20]and inform you and learn from you and

[8:26]just have this journey with you like

[8:29]like legitimately like truly that's how

[8:32]I feel and I'm

[8:34]just guess I'm kind of surprised by it I

[8:37]cuz you know I couldn't have imagined

[8:39]this 3 weeks ago you know

[8:41]just there's no way just 3 weeks ago I

[8:45]mean crazy right I'm going to move

[8:48]on

[8:51]um so this is kind of related I guess

[8:55]but I just I keep looking back at my

[8:57]very first video and I'm just surprised

[9:00]how far I've come like that video I

[9:02]posted yesterday was all about how chat

[9:06]GPT helped

[9:08]me to basically get from there to where

[9:11]I am today and the transformation is

[9:13]just astonishing to me it's

[9:16]just I'm just I'm really Blown Away by

[9:18]it and I

[9:21]just I'm grateful I guess I guess that's

[9:24]all I'll really say about

[9:26]that so as I said my jeep's going into

[9:28]the shop today for 3 days I'm going to

[9:30]go drop it off I'll take an Uber home

[9:32]that'll be a new experience I've never

[9:34]done that

[9:35]before

[9:37]um and so for the next 3 days I'll be

[9:39]without a vehicle and I just wrote down

[9:45]a couple of things and they're pretty

[9:47]obvious I guess I'm going to finish up

[9:49]insulating what I can in there but I

[9:52]also got a camera system I decided to go

[9:54]with something other than the ring

[9:56]cameras wasn't really planning to do

[9:58]this but show them to

[10:00]you all right the reason for showing

[10:03]them to you is just to show you how

[10:04]complicated these things are going to be

[10:06]I have install these

[10:08]myself um I as Brandon's going to help

[10:12]but just me it comes with its own um you

[10:17]know display dash display so I'm real

[10:20]happy about that it's you know real nice

[10:22]size and it's got four cameras that come

[10:25]with it so and these ones you know they

[10:29]mount to the

[10:30]RV um and they're not going to go

[10:32]anywhere and I don't have to worry about

[10:34]about that you know like I did with the

[10:36]ring

[10:37]cameras um I haven't

[10:40]actually and I think

[10:42]these um cameras well this whole setup I

[10:46]think multiple companies are selling

[10:48]this and just calling it their own just

[10:50]from what I you know it looks like

[10:52]basically it's kind of generic I guess

[10:55]I'm hoping for the

[10:57]best reviews were good you know um but

[11:01]so basically there's two different kinds

[11:03]of

[11:05]cameras yeah I think this is the this is

[11:08]the version of front and

[11:11]back and then it's got side cameras and

[11:14]it you know I plan to put them both on

[11:15]the sides there was a different setup I

[11:18]could have gotten and kind of think

[11:19]maybe I should have this one was a

[11:22]better deal though and that's why I did

[11:23]it you know I really am trying to save

[11:25]money here at some point I'm going to

[11:27]make a video just kind

[11:30]outlining all the cost and breaking them

[11:32]down into categories all that

[11:34]just the cost of getting started on this

[11:38]journey um and this is the side cameras

[11:41]there's two of each of

[11:44]these supposedly they look really nice

[11:47]um you know in the day or at

[11:50]night

[11:52]so they're it's a wired

[11:54]setup

[11:56]I I um I well a couple of things so I

[12:01]feel like it was best to go with the

[12:03]wired set up because then cuz I want to

[12:05]use them while I'm driving right I just

[12:07]I want to know what my surroundings are

[12:10]and this way I can be assured of that

[12:12]there won't be any connection issues or

[12:14]anything like that so A whole lot of

[12:18]wiring um I'm not going to be able

[12:23]to um how do I save this the best way

[12:27]basically I'm going to wire it on the

[12:29]outside instead of the inside I'm not

[12:30]going to be drawing a bunch of holes and

[12:32]stuff like that way beyond my skill set

[12:34]right and I just I think that I talked

[12:38]with chat GPT about how to do

[12:42]that and I feel like I can I can do it

[12:46]in a way that that looks good and

[12:49]protects them from the elements and all

[12:50]that kind of thing so that's what I'm

[12:53]going to do

[12:54][Music]

[12:56]um well as soon as I can I guess like

[12:58]this week I's just say this week and

[13:01]once it's working I'll definitely share

[13:04]that with you I'm excited about it

[13:06]definitely better than going with the

[13:08]ring devices I I didn't realize they

[13:11]have those I think it was a Facebook

[13:13]comment that made me um look them up and

[13:16]there's just a bunch that you could you

[13:18]could get from

[13:20]there so that's my little list for this

[13:23]morning uh I'm excited about getting my

[13:27]my Jeep into the shop where where they

[13:29]will do all the stuff

[13:31]and you know I

[13:35]just pushing

[13:37]ahead and it's basically it it's

[13:42]early oh I'm kind of rambling I'm sorry

[13:45]guys I hope that you have a good Monday

[13:48]and I'm going to end with these I think

[13:51]more often than not thank you for

[13:55]listening

Summary

The speaker records a Monday morning video at 6 AM, discussing allergies to cats and taking Zyrtec medication. He checks temperature readings between his RV (36°F) and outside (31°F), noting minimal insulation benefits so far.

He reflects on his first truly edited video posted the previous day, expressing pride in his improving editing skills but disappointment with its performance (50 views, 6 likes from friends/family). This leads to self-examination about seeking validation through YouTube metrics versus finding satisfaction in the creative process itself.

The speaker draws parallels between his YouTube validation-seeking and past dating experiences, where he would lose authenticity by seeking others' approval. He maintains a philosophy that one should be complete before entering relationships, which has kept him single.

He discusses upcoming plans while his Jeep is in the shop for three days: finishing RV insulation and installing a new camera security system. He shows the wired camera setup with four cameras and a display monitor, explaining his decision to mount them externally rather than drilling holes through the RV walls.

The speaker mentions consulting ChatGPT for installation guidance and plans to document costs in a future video. He expresses gratitude for his rapid progress over three weeks of YouTube content creation.
