I'm at a crossroads, folks. As a streamer and content creator, I've been exploring various options to take my online presence to the next level. One option that's been on my mind is switching from Twitch to YouTube for live streaming. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Why would you want to do that?" Well, let me tell you, it's not just about the numbers or the views. It's about creating a community, building relationships with my audience, and providing content that resonates with them.

As I've been weighing my options, I have to admit that it's been a time-consuming process. I mean, think about it - when you're considering making a major change like this, you want to make sure it's worth the investment of your time and effort. And let me tell you, I've had my fair share of doubts and uncertainties. But at the same time, I'm excited about the prospect of exploring new platforms and finding ways to connect with my audience in different ways.

One thing that's been on my mind is how I can make this transition work for me. I've been thinking about it a lot, and I've come up with some ideas. For one, I'm considering streaming only on YouTube three days a week - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And then, I'll be taking a break from streaming until Katie's Banana's Strong, which is supposed to happen in January of 2021. Of course, that's just a tentative plan, and I may need to adjust it along the way.

But here's the thing - I want to make sure my audience knows what's going on. I don't want them to feel like they're left in the dark or that I'm just making these changes without any warning. So, I'll be giving them plenty of notice about this transition. And who knows, maybe it'll even be a good opportunity for me to engage with my audience and build some excitement around this new chapter.

Speaking of which, I have to say that I've been enjoying my time on Twitch lately. The community is always so supportive, and I love the energy and camaraderie that comes with streaming live. But at the same time, I have to admit that YouTube has its own unique charms. And let's be real - there are some benefits to having a platform like YouTube behind me.

Take, for example, the quality of my streams. From what I can tell, YouTube streams look better than my Twitch streams do. And I'm not just talking about aesthetics - I'm talking about the overall viewing experience. Of course, that's something I'll need to tweak and optimize to make sure it looks great on both platforms.

But even with all these changes on the horizon, I want to reassure you that I'm committed to my Patreon supporters. I always do a tradition of vlogging when I stream on Twitch, and I'd like to continue doing that on YouTube as well. It's become a way for me to connect with my audience and share behind-the-scenes moments from my streams.

Of course, it hasn't been easy lately. I've had some doubts creeping in, and I was up late last night watching VODs on YouTube. I have to admit that I was a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed it - but also a bit disappointed. You see, as a streamer, you always want your streams to look the best they can. And let's be real - Twitch streams just seem more polished and put-together than YouTube streams do.

But despite these doubts, I'm feeling pretty good about this whole situation. I mean, it's not like I've made up my mind or anything - but at least I have a plan in place. And who knows? Maybe this transition will be the fresh start I need to take my channel to the next level.

By the way, you guys were really supportive last night on Twitch - it was amazing! I met so many new people and had some great conversations with my regulars. And even though we're not always going to agree on everything, that's what makes this community so special. So thank you all for being part of this journey - I'm honored to have such a wonderful group of viewers.

Oh, and by the way - I did skip dinner with the family last night, which was probably not the best idea. But hey, at least I got some work done, right? And speaking of work, I've been trying to stay consistent with my workout routine lately. It's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it.

You know, sometimes I feel like the real challenge is not just about physical fitness - it's about mental toughness too. But hey, that's a whole different conversation for another time. For now, let's just say that I'm committed to my health and wellness goals. And if you're out there following along with me on this journey, thank you for your support and encouragement.

As I wrap up this article, I want to leave you with some thoughts on the future of streaming and content creation. It's an exciting time, folks - we have so many new platforms and technologies at our disposal. And let me tell you, it's going to be a wild ride. So buckle up, and let's see where this journey takes us!

i'm successful i'm getting a lot of revenue streams going i just feel good i feel really really good and i have some big plans for the fall in regards to my work i'm just going to start this because recently i've had some people say david you you inspired me with your talk last week i think i think of something on my twitch chat when i talked about getting paid 100 just because someone used my dream host like to sign up for websites and i'll say it again imagine if you can actually do that 10 times a month 100 times 10 is a thousand so i mean that's some amazing passive income now i don't make that much with dream homes i make like 100 to 200 every month or two because i don't push it enough but i plan to change that in the near future i inspire myself like i really really do inspire myself and i hope i inspire you guys as well i mean seriously like if you're not using your time wisely i urge you to start using your time wisely starting now you know what good point good point wait

for anyone looking to package things themselves a little little tip for you you don't need this much tape i'm just saying that because in the end you're going to be wasting tape and then you're going to be buying it sooner than you should have to um like one or two strips of tape on each side is more than enough but then again i'm always packaging things so these are the things i noticed but yeah this is this is definitely overkill very very overkill gemini it's okay it's okay jesus way too much work for tape way way too much work all right here we go let's see what's inside gemini liquidation

this is to make it more even day 24 baby ring fit adventure talk about consistency great to see you hanging in there that's the spirit keep it up thanks tip is that your name sorry i know i know we're not that close guys let's go baby let's go i'm going to exercise for about 45 minutes or an hour i have one running course to get through which means lots of jogging lots of squatting and then a long boss fight and then i'm gonna head out the sheets i said come here i have doc playing in the background so i have something to entertain me because the game gets a little repetitive honestly so tonight i'm going to go live on twitch right as i always do but the doc has inspired me and now this isn't going to be another mixer situation where i do mixer half the week twitch half the week now i have been wondering for the longest time and just ask my twitch viewers because this comes up maybe like once every two or three weeks how many viewers can i pull in on youtube versus twitch i mean obviously i have a much much larger audience on youtube and i'm not looking to make any money off youtube yet like if it even turns into anything we'll see i don't know i don't know but that's the thing i'm streaming on twitch tonight tomorrow night i think i'm going to give youtube live youtube gaming i think that's what they call it youtube gaming a try yes i'm gonna actually give youtube gaming a fair try tomorrow night but only once not gonna stream live again on monday or wednesday or next friday i'm gonna do it once for the month of august just to see what kinds of numbers i can bring in and if it proves to be better than expected then yeah i'll consider making a switch to youtube maybe in january i don't know or maybe october i don't know like i i love twitch i love twitch but like 99 of my twitch audience comes from youtube and if i could keep everyone on one site you know that site being youtube that's beneficial for everyone beneficial for you beneficial for me it's easier to share my streams plus they have the whole join program which could tie in nicely with my other content i don't know i'm just i'm just thinking out loud like i love twitch but i can't seem to grow past the average view counts of between 28 and like 34 or 35 i can't get past that average now of course i've had more max viewers than that i've had like 50 or 60 people i've actually had i think what was it a thousand people in one night because of the host from hitchhiker ride or maybe it was less than a thousand either way it was insane i know that actually i think it was above thousand i'm just thinking out loud you know i'm just singing out loud i'm so curious like there's so much potential out there and guys honestly there's only one way to find out it's to try it never hurts to try so tomorrow night i think i am going to give youtube gaming a shot and guys don't forget i actually used to stream live on youtube gaming all the time back in my old old house on my xbox one i mean it wasn't the best streams and i'll link one of the streams right below check out that quality come on actually you know what i'll roll a clip deploying c4 nice i got him with the trap oh david you've come a long way dude you've come a long way so yeah i think i'll give it a shot tomorrow night okay back to the workout let's go i forgot the ring cons in here gemini i love that mug thank you again you're awesome was that zero no dark leaf i got a gift what is that a viewer of mine i've never seen it before it means he leaves that's pretty cool thank you if you happen to be watching this video by the way it's warm in here my god do not work out in a warm room it is not enjoyable come on let's crank that ac i don't know why it's set to 77 or 76 before i'm sure it's some kind of auto eco-friendly thing that i got to turn off all right let's go baby girl girl yeah yeah i won't quit my day job guys hey that's this all right so i posted okay first of all i'm a target you know i have to learn to focus on one topic at a time i've always been like that my mind is always going fast you know like i'm always thinking about like three or four things at the same time no joke that's just how my mind works anyway i'm a target okay that's done debbie completed a 45 mile drive i think they're at driftwood because it's it's like 100 miles from here anyway um happy friday everyone this is my post on youtube happy friday everyone if i were to do a gaming show tomorrow night on youtube would you watch my twitch streams are not going anywhere anytime soon but i'm always open to the idea of trying something different i actually used to stream on youtube all the time via the franco gaming as i just told you guys so i'm curious to see how my numbers compare to what i pull on twitch thoughts two comments so far first one's from jacob ashton yes i would bob s said yes simplicity i appreciate it all right i'll probably shoot tomorrow night so that should be fun i'm sure i'm going to get some people saying david you're just following the trend because dr disrespect no no no no no i've been thinking about doing this for weeks i've been so curious dr disrespect motivated me to finally do it because i figured if i miss one night this weekend on twitch it's not going to hurt me plus i had a really good monday i had a really really good monday in terms of financial support on twitch you guys are insane let's just say i made over 200 in one night it's it's not about the money but when you're a full-time content creator obviously every dollar counts because i don't have you know like a fixed income like a normal job uh provides so it's really really cool that you guys are willing to support me um so greatly on twitch i mean especially considering i'm not even partnered like i'm just a lowly twitcherville you know papa can i have a quarter no it's not like that but i mean i i am just an affiliate that guy looked when i yelled that i forgot my sunroof is open and he's probably like what the hell is this guy's problem so um yeah i guess i'm streaming on youtube tomorrow night and of course i will let you guys know how it goes do you think i'll get over 50 viewers max what if i get a hundred like if i get a hundred that'll be an eye opener that will be a huge eye opener because you have to think i mean i'll say it again guys 99 of my twitch audience is from youtube and if someone's watching my vlog and they just happen to say i'm live on the same platform that being youtube that's an easy easy conversion i think i don't know mixer didn't work out because it was a much smaller platform and i don't blame a lot of people for not even going over mixer i mean i thought it was a good platform i did i mean in my opinion they had some good features that twitch never implemented like the um hype zone which is when mixer hosts you in certain categories but twitch is so big that i don't know if hype zones could be a thing because i feel like it's too big you know what i mean it's it's a less focused platform it's so so diverse all right guys i'll be back the life of a content creator always thinking and by the way that's the that's the beauty of my job i actually have the freedom the flexibility i have the flexibility to do whatever i want just try it it doesn't hurt i love my music guess where i am you could probably tell if you pay attention to the branding and colors and all that stuff shirts i love it here but man do i miss my usual oh spicy chicken sandwich which honestly isn't that bad for me app samplers bacon cheesy tater bombs i always forget the name but they're so good the mozzarella stick all the potato skins oh my god the chicken tenders the jalapeno poppers and the mac and cheese bites like all of the appetizers here are so good i don't know how you do it sheets how do you do it how are your appetizers so good like okay for instance runners advertisers are pretty pretty damn good as well but like the whole appetizers menu it sheets i think is just stellar and i rarely use the word stellar guys i want the target i got a lot i was there for like 20 minutes came out with one box of cereal time well spent special k fruit and yogurt one of my favorites the reason i was there for so long for only one item was because i was looking at toasters you know um my toaster is great oh the lights just went on what a beautiful thing i love these sheets my toaster is great it was a hand-me-down for my parents because they got something better but it was like it was like one of those automatic ones that slowly brings up the toast it's so cool and it slowly brings it down as well and like clamps it in a special way but stupid me tried to heat up a waffle a while ago a very old waffle and it literally crumbled inside the toaster so now every time i try to toast like something like bread or touch a strudel it starts smoking it literally starts smoking and my house smells like it's burning down so one of these days i have to take a thing of air compressor whatever turn it upside down and clean it all out i just haven't felt like it so yeah i was looking at toasters but i might still buy one on amazon target didn't have the best selection so i don't know we'll see all right guys i am going to get my salad it is 7 by 54. way i paid my taxes today always feels good right responsibility there you go again going from topic to topic i'll see you guys at home i'm gonna try not to order anything bad for me just a salad alright david nothing more right thank god i made a room tonight let's just say there's some special drivers out there hi z how are you doing no gold key no cat drama tonight all right that mean cat was back last night while zero wasn't here and the cat would have seriously lunged at me if i didn't have enough space between the cat and myself here you go you're tired but me being me well i think i'm a nice dude so i gave him food nice cats mean cats velociraptors whatever like if you're in my backyard you're gonna get fed right so come on over only if you're an animal all right only if you're an animal guys i'm so excited so so excited oh yes baby dude they have such a good salad spicy rant i mean spicy chicken salad that is oh it is so good it is so good yes this year this year this time they did not hold on let me let me try something i don't know dude i i gotta turn like look at this are you there we go anyway last week no last time i got this two weeks ago they forgot my croutons yeah i have i have that product showcase mode off i think i gotta turn it back on again although i believe turning it back on will slightly disable the blur in the background maybe question mark exclamation point another question mark i don't know but i know this guys it's time to eat it's already 8 20. like today got away from me big time so by the time i'm done shameless i'm pretty much going to get my shower go live on twitch and i guess i'll see you guys tomorrow dude that's my shirt kristen texted me she is on her way with bailey and it is hey google hey google what time is it it's 6 49 a.m 6 49 in the morning boom guys tonight's stream oh my god you guys are incredible first of all i warned everybody with you know the fact that i'll be live on youtube tonight which i'm very very excited about it's essentially the same chat room just on youtube so example tonight i ended the stream with 20 to 23 people watching not to be fair it is 6 30 in the morning so most people most normal people are in bed sleeping by now but um earlier tonight i probably had like 40 or 45 people watching which is good i mean i haven't checked the numbers yet but i'll let you guys know in a second but second of all i just want to say like despite saying i'll be on youtube tomorrow and all that stuff i still received an insane amount of support on twitch from the bits to maybe some follows i don't know um and subs like subs tonight were insane also i even had someone join me via twitch's recommended section which is very interesting because you'd think getting discovered on a platform as saturated as twitch is extremely difficult and it usually is but the fact that the recommended feature worked to begin with like that's that's pretty huge that's pretty huge and i hope twitch continues to do that and the guy that was watching even said that i see i seem like a chill dude so that's pretty cool i'm just waiting for my email to come in with the stats hopefully it's going to come in because i want you guys to know how much i made tonight it's not about the money but again because i'm a self-employed content the self-employed content creator every amount helps whether it's on patreon or youtube ad revenue ebay especially twitch lately it helps you know and i'm grateful for that okay it's not loading right now it sometimes takes a little while but as soon as it comes in i'll let you guys know now he's enjoying his food all right numbers are in guys insane absolutely insane that is so crazy so i peeked at 42 viewers which is average for me 197 unique chatters i think i can actually get maybe 300 or 400 unique chatters on youtube we'll say 60 followers that's actually pretty good for me i don't i don't get a lot of followers 3 000 bits 69 subs totaling to 375 absolutely incredible guys thank you thank you thank you thank you tonight was a very very good night and i just want you guys to know that i am eternally grateful for everything you do for me not only that it was just a good night in general for gaming fall guys i got my second win which is great um apex we gotta win in ranked like our first apex ranked game in probably months together and we gotta win like it was an insane win pure chaos for like 10 minutes straight but we played it smart you know and finally we did quite rel relish you you guys like relish in your uh hot dogs i was gonna play cheeseburgers no not relish is okay i'm more of a ketchup and mustard kind of guy you know guys focus valerant ranked was great as well okay as soon as kristen gets here with bailey i'm just gonna go upstairs and go to bed so at this point i'll just

second win going for my third one tonight yes i got it yeah that was smooth i love it two wins two wins i love my gaming and you guys seem to be enjoying it as well thank you so much again for everything tonight just amazing night a really really amazing night i'm still hosting crash did this dude ever go to bed i hosted him in like eight in the like seven seven thirty in the morning this dude is crazy you know what let's just crack six all right fast forward a little bit it's now 7 20 p.m christian and steve have successfully picked up bailly so i didn't vlog them we were just hanging out for a little bit what's up z just wanted to bring you outside so you could hear this hear it good for them throwing a party i love it loud music the louder the better right z got to live it up i just did my workout that's why i look kind of crappy today i did like 120 122 calories not bad not bad considering i don't really have time today because i woke up so freaking late but i'm dedicated i'm so freaking committed guys i need to get this 30 day challenge done yo i want to hang out with them you guys want to go over there two better stuck with me what's up z how you doing brother man now i'm gonna go upstairs guys and get ready for youtube he's fine he's fine watching shroud in the background it's kind of like my new thing to watch streams in the background while working out because again the game is fun but it's the same thing over and over again for the most part i don't know where maui went he's been hiding since um what's your name bailly was here hey siri turn on the gaming room lights okay love it i love automation all right so i'm going to have dinner soon oh god it's just sucking on my desk don't do that yeah so i'm going to make dinner soon but before i do that i want to get this stream set up for tonight so i'm not like running late last minute that would suck it's basically gonna be the same overlay i think i mentioned this last night god the background looks so good this camera is amazing guys it really is amazing it's not perfect but damn it it is the best camera i've had for vlogging yet so uh yeah i'm going to do a source duplicate in obs just change a few things so it goes to youtube and not twitch i've never i mean i haven't shared on youtube in years so i'm curious to see how it's changed i'm so curious about my viewer account too what do you think i'm gonna pull in i honestly don't know it's really really hard to say i love this wallpaper do what you love guys is the truth do what you love you only live once okay i think i have everything it's more complicated than it seems basically i had to i'm not going to tell you guys again it's boring to talk about so this is my youtube scene and that's my twitch scene very very similar basically taking away cheers taking away my my subscribers and all that stuff youtube gaming is actually quite boring compared to twitch and i'm hoping youtube adds some things but for now that's fine that's fine i couldn't put subscribers in because player.me for whatever reason will not connect to youtube it says it's temporarily disabled and that's frustrating but that's okay honestly it's not a huge deal this is a one night thing um but i'm excited and i was telling my chat last night guys if patreon ever goes away then i can always fall back on youtube's membership thing which i think is really cool think about it so if i create a membership program on youtube basically you could join for five dollars as you would on patreon so this would mean that you get all the vlogs currently accessible by patrons only in addition to the perks of my live streams so imagine if i could integrate everything on youtube but at the same time i don't know what my future on youtube is going to be because i'm not that into youtube as i used to be i'm just so much more focused on other platforms so i'm just saying like if something happens like god forbid if something ever happens to patreon at least i can fall back on youtube and like have everything integrated in one platform that's a huge deal vlogs and my live streams all under one roof that could be huge that could be so convenient especially for you guys so i don't know it's something i'll consider but i think i'm ready to go overlay is set up i have my stream key set up for youtube i'll be streaming at 6 000 bitrate well it's between three and six thousand so on youtube it's gonna be variable but obs i have said to six thousand so hopefully i'll get um a steady six up so we'll see all right it's eight o'clock i've had nothing to eat all day long nothing to eat all right we're good there yeah i've had two coffees a bunch of water and that's it literally nothing else so yeah eight o'clock i'll see you in a couple hours or maybe even a few hours i'm gonna go downstairs chill have some dinner contemplate why cameras still can't get a quicker white balance in 2020 and i'm going to watch what's it called hacksaw ridge which just happens to be on prime video i wanted to watch unsane but um can't find it on plex so hacksaw ridge it is so shout out to my dude one hand for recommending tonight's movie and tonight's dinner there it is i'm going to add some shrimp cocktail or shrimp with cocktail sauce which i believe is right here well there it is guys there it is it doesn't seem like a big dinner because it's not and i'm gonna have some green beans are corn i think green beans tonight yeah caribbean sound good easy dinner and honestly i'll probably have a bowl of cereal afterwards because it's not very filling of course i'm not going to eat all these shrimp that's a lot of shrimp i think i'd be thawed out quick following instructions place frozen shrimp into a strainer and rinse with cold water cold running water for approximately five to seven minutes while rinsing lightly rotate shrimp to ensure even thawing let drain before serving and i think at some point i want to make some kind of shrimp scampi meal with um pasta i think that could be good y'all i think that could be good hey what a chill weekend i have nothing going on especially with mom and dad on driftwood guys come on so um dinner's cancelled i was pretty excited about the shrimp it's fine i i put in the fridge for tomorrow it's thawed out it's it's in the foil it's fine i was in my house thinking i was like i haven't really heard from my parents all day you know besides checking in with bailey and whatever and then it hit me crap i was supposed to check on the cats today they're fine cats can live a couple days or a few days without checking in on them but i completely forgot to go to their house and skip the litter boxes and feed the fish and all that stuff now granted i was gonna go around six or seven o'clock it's currently 8 16 so not a big deal but i completely forgot i rarely forget stuff like this wow so i don't even feel like doing the whole shrimp thing i'm just gonna go to rudders get something decent for myself you know easy dinner you know easy dinners whatever judge me if you will in the comments i don't care they get people they ask you now and then david don't you cook yes i actually cook quite quite freaking like just ask my patrons oh man that's okay easy dinner you know easy dinner probably get some um grilled chicken wraps or even a grilled chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce is that good at rudders probably is because their their grilled chicken quesadilla is amazing i don't know why their key city is so good but damn is it good so yeah let's go check in with the cats get an easy dinner go back home watch hacksaw ridge then go live on youtube on i'm okay everything is grand hey what's up keys hey timber hey fire you guys are so cute hey autumn shane what's here where is he i can't believe i forgot that someone like me hi shane it's so dark i can barely see you there you are all right let's go upstairs and scoop your pee and poo poo hey fire mommy daddy's going back tomorrow don't worry all right all right the heck is that what is this oh that's too um aero i think that's a sensor or something clearly the cat's got a hold of it was that you autumn nah you would never i feel like i'm being followed oh this is what i'm working with oh my god you guys go a lot oh they were so cool it's such a cool key hi i'm home i'm home got my sandwich guys i'm pretty happy to try this i can't recall if i ever tried it oh wow they actually cut it in half sweet this sandwich was less than five dollars too oh it's pretty good a little messy on the presentation but just only because it's slid there you go all right i'll let you guys know how it is if you're curious i don't know probably doesn't affect you i will say though their fried chicken sandwiches are really really good not as good as sheets though i think it sheets wins in the chicken sandwich department but grilled chicken should be good even wawa has a really good grill chicken sandwich all right so change of plans i have a splitting headache i think it's because i haven't eaten all day that tends to happen um so i'm not in the mood to watch a movie so instead i'm gonna watch the season 10 finale of shameless i just feel like that makes more sense and plus um it's shorter than a movie so i might need to rest my head afterwards before i stream because streaming with a headache is not fun definitely not fun gotta miss getting appetizers eventually i'm gonna start treating myself to fry naps but for now i'm just trying to lay low you know chicken sandwich it's not exactly gonna fill me up but it's better than nothing you know you know what i forgot it's insane i'm watching tonight not hacksaw ridge this is on prime video i'm kind of tempted to commit and watch it it's 99 minutes long so it'll take me kind of close to 11. you know what i'll watch it who cares because in theory eating's gonna fix my head you know fix my head please chicken work with me here this weekend's all over the place and i'm okay with it wow come here guys come here come here i just want to take a second to thank you so much for a very successful youtube stream it is 6 18 in the morning guys i i wonder if youtube sends you an email with stats i don't know if they do it might just be in my creator studio or whatever youtube calls it but i i glanced at viewers now and then i'm pretty sure i peaked at like 103 viewers that's a good problem to have i received so much support tonight i mean i even have some super chats which is basically when someone donates money and their text is highlighted in like this really bright color that way i'm guaranteed to not miss it and thank you guys i mean together i probably got like what twenty dollars or whatever but again i wasn't in it for the money tonight at all like i just wanted to test the platform ah you guys really opened my eyes like youtube might be my platform moving forward for streaming but not for a while i mean i made it very clear tonight twitch is not going anywhere anytime soon like i i built a very loyal and supportive following on twitch and i just want you guys to know that i appreciate that i do i mean twitch is incredible it has been downright amazing but if i can receive that same kind of support on twitch plus more on youtube think about it like my my numbers could double or even triple and if we're speaking in terms of revenue it that that might even double i mean it's not all about the money but again i'm a content creator so obviously i'd look at this from my business perspective and it's it's time consuming as well so i wanted to be worth it over time quite literally time so we'll see you guys i mean i i said over and over again if i do switch to youtube for live streaming like monday wednesday friday and saturday then i probably wouldn't do it until katie's banana small strong then i then i probably wouldn't do it until january of 2021 basically i would give everybody a huge heads up and i would still go throughout 2020 on twitch so what do you guys think i mean even at six freaking o'clock in the morning i had a very active chat room i met a lot of you guys that i never even met before like it was a really supportive stream i mean twitch is always supportive but like youtube tonight we'll see i've i've got some thinking to do i mean it's not like i'd be like all right see you guys twitch is done i would give you plenty plenty of notice so all right this is a really good problem to think about you know a good problem it's not even a problem it's an opportunity anyway guys i'm done thank you so much i mean i'm done friend right now obviously i'll talk to you later today uh but yeah i need sleep i gotta import you and i'll see you after the hand what's up z oh you sleeping you sleeping there dude relax you're good you're good who dat bumble i don't even use bumble guys it is 7 34 on sunday oh man today definitely got away from me so i'm gonna do a quick sign off i just want to thank you guys again um i just want to make it clear i will be on youtube every saturday from now on i mean as far as i can tell because i know i said what was it friday when i was going to sheets or i was at target somewhere that i would only stream once for the month of august that's not true no that was before i saw the numbers on youtube it's just it's like all i've been thinking about today so yeah i mean like i said i'm in a rush but it's definitely a good opportunity to think about is yours rubbing up against my back i see come here what zero come on dude be a lap kitty be a lap kitty no good boy you're such a cookie look at him guys you're such a good cat what are you looking at the camera or the trees i don't know also i skipped dinner with the family which is fine i'll see you tomorrow on tuesday we have dinner together monday and tuesday every week so patreon stay tuned for that i will be sure to vlog that i always do you know i always do a tradition what's up dude he's so cool but yeah i just got a late start today didn't go to bed until like eight o'clock in the morning i just couldn't fall asleep i got sucked into youtube i was watching my vod on youtube you know after the fact to see how the quality looked i will say twitch streams look better from my perspective so i think i might have to tweak some settings i don't know but overall man it was a really really fun weekend guys between the amazing supports on twitch and the amazing support on youtube i love you guys i do and i was really pleasantly surprised to see that i had like no haters yesterday in the chat i honestly thought i would but then again at the same time because the streams are on the same platform as these videos i literally have like hundreds of people banned on my channel which is a good thing because there's a lot of toxicity out there so i think that's why my channel was so clean last night what's up dude you're a good boy he's like david feed me i guess i'm done thank you very much i gotta import these clips now edit these clips and then do my workouts yes i'm a little late to the workout game today but i am consistent i have not missed a single day for the past what 25 26 days so guys i'm almost there this is the final week where i should meet the 30 day challenge and i think i am gonna go past 30 days because i haven't beat the game yet the game is longer than i thought it would be and i don't want to be done my challenge because you know by then it's not a challenge it's a more of a routine more of a i just want to beat the game kind of thing um anyway that's going to take me past that 30 day period so guys thank you so much for watching um i hope you enjoy your week i hope you enjoy your weekend depending on when you're watching this please stay safe wear that mask worry about your health worry about others health and i'll talk to you later peace you\n"
