00:00With YouTube, there's always a clock in the back of my head, you know, every time you post something

00:03Even if it's the one out of ten the best video I've ever posted everyone loves it the clock just resets

00:09Okay, what are you doing next? What are you doing next? What are you doing next?

00:12What are you doing next? You're only as good as the last thing you did and the last thing you did was six months ago

00:16You might as well have done nothing, you know back when you know you're trying to blow up

00:21You've got no money in your bank account. You're trying to like achieve this dream that you have and
