Transcript

00:00:00.000 So I was just complaining about the day in your life videos that are plaguing TikTok and everyone does one.
00:00:09.640 No matter if their life is interesting or not, in almost every case, they're not.
00:00:14.160 And I guess that's what led me to Canada to send me a bunch of other day in the life TikTok videos,
00:00:19.480 which we will now watch and suffer through together.
00:00:25.400 Let's just go through these from the top.
00:00:27.520 A day in my life, being clairvoyant and seeing ghosts.
00:00:31.880 I work nights, so I wake up late at 11 a.m.
00:00:34.360 My partner brings me coffee in bed and I catch up on social media and reply to comments and emails.
00:00:39.320 Then I get ready for the day.
00:00:41.140 Moving into a house built in the 1920s, I wasn't surprised that there were lingering spirits here,
00:00:45.460 but honestly, it's just like having very elusive roommates.
00:00:48.300 Oh, the door's shut.
00:00:50.680 At 1 p.m., I film and edit my content for the day.
00:00:54.540 Then it's physical therapy time, baby.
00:00:56.580 Stop it for a second. Stop it for a second.
00:00:57.800 Pause it for a second.
00:00:59.680 Oh, the door. You see the door shut in the background?
00:01:02.280 There's no other way it could happen than a ghost.
00:01:04.060 How?
00:01:04.740 What other force could shut a door?
00:01:06.960 Never mind the fact that you could see a person moving in the background to shut the door.
00:01:10.200 You know something about ghosts is that they always do things that, like, anyone could do.
00:01:15.800 You know, they never do.
00:01:18.080 They're ghosts.
00:01:18.840 They have supernatural abilities.
00:01:20.020 They should be able to do things on camera that could never be duplicated by anyone,
00:01:28.180 at least without the access to Hollywood-level special effects.
00:01:31.200 Ghosts could do that if they existed, and yet they never do.
00:01:37.520 Ever.
00:01:38.220 Interesting.
00:01:38.520 All the ghosts ever do is just, like, shut a door or drop a spoon.
00:01:44.440 So God is, let me try to, I'm trying to understand this.
00:01:48.720 God is allowing spirits, the undead, or not undead, they're dead,
00:01:54.320 allowing the souls of the dead to remain lingering around on Earth
00:01:58.760 so that they can shut doors and drop spoons.
00:02:04.000 What's the game plan exactly?
00:02:05.840 The funny thing is that these people, I can almost guarantee it,
00:02:08.520 this LGBT member of the clairvoyant community,
00:02:12.800 I'm going to guess is not a, would not describe herself as a religious person,
00:02:18.020 certainly not a Christian.
00:02:18.720 She'd probably say, I'm spiritual but not religious.
00:02:21.520 So what is your actual, what's your actual view of the supernatural realm?
00:02:26.380 What are, do you believe that God exists and that there's an afterlife?
00:02:31.660 I mean, I guess she probably wouldn't even go that far.
00:02:33.300 So how is it, there's no God, there's no afterlife,
00:02:35.920 and yet when we die, we still have our, like, this vapor that we shed
00:02:40.680 and that lingers around?
00:02:42.160 How does that work?
00:02:44.360 Ghosts only work if there is a God and there's an afterlife,
00:02:47.940 which there is, of course.
00:02:49.500 But if there's a God and an afterlife, then the ghosts don't make any sense
00:02:52.060 because what are they doing hanging out here?
00:02:54.240 They'd be going to their afterlife destination.
00:02:56.380 Okay, continue.
00:02:58.880 And since we're already out and about, we go thrifting.
00:03:01.520 Honestly, I just try not to buy anything haunted or tacky
00:03:04.280 as I look for pieces to build my own collections.
00:03:07.080 When we get home, I cook dinner and we watch a show
00:03:09.180 and tell the ghost pacing in the den to chill out.
00:03:12.200 No!
00:03:13.480 And then I unwind, scrolling through TikTok, checking notifications,
00:03:16.860 replying to comments, and since I read everything, it takes a while.
00:03:21.100 Finally, at 2 a.m., I turn off all of the house lights and head to bed.
00:03:24.640 Okay, good.
00:03:27.980 That's what a clairvoyant does.
00:03:29.960 And I guess this is how she makes a living.
00:03:31.480 I don't know.
00:03:32.660 I'm glad these people exist because if you're dumb enough to be scammed by somebody like this,
00:03:38.340 to give them your money, then you deserve to be separated from your money.
00:03:41.140 So in a way, I almost am thankful for them.
00:03:43.700 I think they're maybe providing a valuable service to the world in that way.
00:03:49.460 Okay, the next one is a day in the life of someone who works at Selfie World,
00:03:54.140 which is a thing I've just learned existed and wish I hadn't learned it.
00:03:58.300 Let's watch.
00:03:58.840 All right.
00:04:13.200 Okay, stop.
00:04:13.860 Just stop.
00:04:16.260 What?
00:04:16.780 I still don't know what Selfie World is.
00:04:20.000 I guess I can understand from context.
00:04:23.020 So there's Selfie World at a mall, and people pay money to go take a selfie.
00:04:33.920 You're paying them money for the privilege of taking a selfie on your own phone.
00:04:38.840 You have the entire world where you could go anywhere and take any selfie that you want.
00:04:43.520 You're going to pay them money so you could take a selfie.
00:04:46.420 So they're not even impressive backgrounds.
00:04:48.980 Here, pay us money.
00:04:49.820 Pay us $57.99 so you could take a selfie in a room with a red wall.
00:04:55.820 You can't find a red wall like this anywhere, folks.
00:04:58.000 Yet again, people who deserve to get scammed and separated from their money.
00:05:01.500 You've heard me talk about how important it is to have a VPN to protect your online privacy.
00:05:05.900 But choosing a VPN you trust is equally as important.
00:05:08.740 I like to do research on my sponsors, and I only recommend brands to my listeners that I believe in
00:05:13.360 and that I use to actually stop people from monitoring your online activity.
00:05:16.600 That's why you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:05:19.520 Think about all the times you've used Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, hotel, even a friend's house.
00:05:23.660 Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit can be logged by the admin of that network.
00:05:27.360 That's still true even when you're in incognito mode, even in that case.
00:05:30.480 ExpressVPN then is a solution.
00:05:32.100 It's an app that encrypts all of your network data
00:05:34.080 and reroutes it through a network of secure servers
00:05:36.360 so that your private online activity stays private.
00:05:39.180 ExpressVPN works on all of your devices, and it's super easy to use.
00:05:42.200 The app has one button.
00:05:43.440 You tap it, you connect, and your browsing activity is secure.
00:05:46.040 It's that simple.
00:05:47.100 Stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.
00:05:49.440 Protect yourself at expressvpn.com slash WalshYT.
00:05:53.640 Use my link at expressvpn.com slash WalshYT.
00:05:56.920 To get three extra months free.
00:05:58.160 That's expressvpn, E-X-P-R-E-S-S, vpn.com slash WalshYT.
00:06:04.080 This is a day in the life of a...
00:06:08.360 Wow.
00:06:09.360 You have really put together a collection of the most annoying people on earth.
00:06:16.040 Okay.
00:06:16.700 This is a day in the life of a van lifer.
00:06:18.860 This is a day in my life as a van lifer with a cat.
00:06:21.660 The first thing I'll do when I wake up is I'll put on my slippers because it's cold.
00:06:25.320 Next, I'll give Gigi his breakfast, and then I'll eat my breakfast.
00:06:28.160 First, I had a yummy dragon fruit, and then I headed inside of my girlfriend's house
00:06:32.940 so that I could make some soup since it was so cold this morning.
00:06:36.040 And, of course, a little bit of tea to start my day.
00:06:39.300 I always immediately open all the curtains to get as much natural light in as possible.
00:06:43.860 This will help me warm up the van a little bit on these cold winter days.
00:06:46.680 Oh, and since yesterday was laundry day, today I'll need to put all of the clean laundry
00:06:53.040 back in my bins and under my bed.
00:06:57.380 After finishing up my laundry, I noticed that the floors were a little bit dusty,
00:07:00.600 so I decided to give them a sweep.
00:07:04.560 After sweeping, I decided to disinfect them as well.
00:07:07.840 Next, I'll check out my homework or watch a fun video.
00:07:10.140 Then we'll take Gigi on a daily outing so that we can all get a little bit of exercise
00:07:14.740 and be home in time for a yummy dinner.
00:07:18.840 Okay.
00:07:19.820 There's so many, it's like, we have ways of rebranding things,
00:07:23.580 and so instead of people saying, I live in a trailer or Double Y,
00:07:27.120 they say, I have a tiny home.
00:07:29.440 No, you live in a trailer, and that's fine, by the way.
00:07:31.560 You can live in a trailer, but that's what you live in.
00:07:34.520 This is not van life.
00:07:35.700 This is homelessness.
00:07:37.540 This is a day in the life of me as a homeless bum.
00:07:40.140 That's what it is.
00:07:41.460 If you're even actually homeless, like, this is cheating.
00:07:44.040 So the van is in someone's driveway,
00:07:46.860 and she can go in there and make fancy soups and do whatever she needs.
00:07:50.720 That's not van life.
00:07:51.800 The van, that's not van.
00:07:53.760 Whatever van life is supposed to be, that's not it.
00:07:57.000 You know what really annoys me about this is that
00:07:59.920 I don't like how some of these things have been appropriated
00:08:03.100 and turned into, like, trendy TikTok things.
00:08:05.840 If you actually want to authentically live in a van
00:08:10.700 down by the river
00:08:11.880 and you're, let's say, you're traveling across the country,
00:08:14.840 you're driving around, you're being self-sufficient,
00:08:17.920 you're finding ways to survive.
00:08:19.600 I don't know how you would, what you'd do for food or anything like that.
00:08:22.980 I mean, it's almost certain that this girl is being subsidized by her parents
00:08:27.560 or somebody, and so none of this counts and none of it is real.
00:08:30.320 But if it's real and you actually want to be self-sufficient
00:08:33.520 and you want to drop off the grid and live on your own and do all that,
00:08:38.120 I got tons of respect for that.
00:08:39.800 As long as you're not being a burden or a parasite
00:08:41.460 and you're actually taking care of yourself
00:08:43.600 and you say, this is the life I want to live,
00:08:45.700 I can respect, it's not the life I'd want to live.
00:08:47.720 I can respect that.
00:08:48.920 But it's not even, it's not real, though.
00:08:50.920 That's the problem.
00:08:51.800 Here's one I probably can't respect.
00:08:53.160 A day in the life of a stay-at-home husband.
00:08:56.560 Sorry, tough guys.
00:08:57.660 It's a day in the life of a stay-at-home husband.
00:09:00.100 Time to check your misogyny at the door and buckle up.
00:09:02.780 First thing I do is I make my wife some coffee after making the bed.
00:09:06.200 Then I do my wife's laundry.
00:09:07.560 When juggling your husbandly duties,
00:09:09.220 it's essential to separate the Lulus from the dryer.
00:09:11.860 Next, I feed the dog because who else is going to do it?
00:09:14.220 I serve my dominance over all I have left.
00:09:16.000 Then I make my wife some breakfast.
00:09:17.720 She likes her eggs air fried with a rice cake and peanut butter.
00:09:20.920 Then I feed the plants before I feed myself,
00:09:22.960 and I tidy up the house.
00:09:24.380 Once the house was clean, my wife took me out on the town,
00:09:26.660 followed to end the patriarchy.
00:09:27.780 I'm going to throw up.
00:09:29.320 I'm going to throw up.
00:09:30.560 This guy exists to annoy me.
00:09:32.220 That's my theory.
00:09:33.720 It's not even a stay-at-home dad, okay?
00:09:36.140 It's not a stay-at-home dad.
00:09:37.180 Stay-at-home husband.
00:09:38.840 There's no kids to take care of, even.
00:09:43.020 I got to tell you something.
00:09:43.940 I don't care how progressive people pretend to be.
00:09:46.300 I don't care how progressive a woman pretends to be.
00:09:50.020 No woman wants that or respects it.
00:09:53.660 You disgust me.
00:09:54.800 Now, they might find some benefits in it for a time
00:09:57.900 because you're staying at home, doing your husbandly duties.
00:10:01.740 At a certain point, she's going to realize,
00:10:03.080 I don't actually want a manservant.
00:10:04.760 I want a husband, okay?
00:10:07.700 I want someone who's going to provide and be a man.
00:10:11.440 That's what I want.
00:10:11.960 That's what every woman wants.
00:10:14.300 Okay, you're a stay-at-home husband.
00:10:15.480 You don't do anything.
00:10:17.640 I got to respect that.
00:10:20.480 And marriage can't survive without respect.
00:10:22.220 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:10:23.460 All right, this will be the last one.
00:10:24.540 Actually, there's two more, but I can only stomach one more.
00:10:26.280 This is a day in the life of a pilot, which...
00:10:29.680 Now, this one sounds interesting.
00:10:30.780 Okay, finally, someone with an interesting job.
00:10:33.240 Hi, everyone.
00:10:33.920 Here's another day.
00:10:34.620 Pause it for a second.
00:10:36.000 Now, this is actually a sabotage from my own team.
00:10:41.460 There's nothing I can say here that will not get me into trouble.
00:10:45.020 There's so much that I want to say that I can't say,
00:10:48.400 but I will say anyway, which is that I would be terrified.
00:10:52.700 I'm not saying it's the right response.
00:10:54.200 I'm telling you, I'm being emotionally vulnerable.
00:10:56.720 I would be terrified if that was the pilot
00:10:59.060 because here's why.
00:11:01.940 I've been very clear about this.
00:11:03.260 Every pilot on a commercial aircraft
00:11:06.840 should be a man with a mustache,
00:11:10.540 and a man should be between the ages of 45 and 65.
00:11:14.600 That's every pilot.
00:11:16.400 I don't care about race or anything like that.
00:11:18.080 I'm very open outside of that.
00:11:20.880 Like, they should all look something like
00:11:22.640 the pilot that landed the plane in the Hudson.
00:11:25.380 So, I'm discriminatory in that way.
00:11:30.460 But, um, okay.
00:11:33.460 Go ahead and play it.
00:11:34.040 I woke up, made myself a coffee,
00:11:36.500 and then I started to steam my work uniform.
00:11:39.940 And right about here, I actually got a call from Crew Support
00:11:42.240 to go fly that day.
00:11:43.800 It was a local, which meant that I'll be home the same night,
00:11:46.840 which was nice because I didn't really need to pack much.
00:11:49.460 Just brought a light suitcase just in case I got stuck anywhere.
00:11:52.800 And then I started to get ready.
00:11:54.480 I had three hours to report to duty,
00:11:56.820 which gave me plenty of time.
00:11:58.600 I was able to make myself a nice little lunch,
00:12:00.760 and I also stopped by Trader Joe's to grab myself a salad for the flight.
00:12:04.560 The salad is really good, by the way.
00:12:06.460 Made it to the airport, took a shuttle to my gate,
00:12:08.860 and once I got there, I started to do all of my pre-flight duties
00:12:12.060 to make sure that the aircraft was safe to fly.
00:12:14.740 And then I started getting set up to go to Omaha, Nebraska.
00:12:18.640 I was excited because it was my first time flying over there.
00:12:21.700 We did that flight, landed.
00:12:23.400 Here we are now in Omaha.
00:12:25.120 Had about 45 minutes, so it was a quick turn
00:12:27.980 before we needed to head back to Los Angeles.
00:12:31.100 This was our route for that night.
00:12:33.180 It was a little over two and a half hours long each way.
00:12:37.160 It was a nice flight, though.
00:12:38.380 Landed, did my fun walk around, and that was it.
00:12:41.920 All right.
00:12:43.640 Look, I'm sure she's very...
00:12:46.560 She hasn't crashed a plane yet.
00:12:48.000 I mean, I'm sure she's a very talented pilot.
00:12:53.680 Oh, man.
00:12:55.020 Okay.
00:12:56.140 All right.
00:12:56.620 We'll just leave it there with that.
00:12:58.740 Before we...
00:12:59.320 Before I get myself into even more trouble.
00:13:02.140 And that's it.
00:13:03.140 Those are the days in the lives of all these people.
00:13:06.320 I'm glad we could spend some time with them
00:13:08.480 and learn about their experiences.
00:13:11.040 I feel like a better person for it.
