all right so it's been about five months since my last Q&A and I figured it was high time for another one so I asked over on Twitter what questions you guys had for me and here are a couple of them a question that I got a lot of actually is what's my daily driver I'm still using the galaxy s 8 plus I don't think the galaxy s 9 was enough of a change to warrant a full switch of my device but I'm a hardware guy not a software guy and the galaxy sa it's working just fine for me alright the first question is when are you gonna do some mods for your Tacoma this might be a surprise to some of you but I do have a second channel which I've done a couple small mods on I mostly reserved that channel for like just smaller things I don't want to turn into like a full-scale production for this channel but I've put a roof rack on my truck at the end of this week I will be getting a lift for my truck I'm gonna jack it up about three inches and put some bigger tires on it that I'll put on this main channel I'll link my second channel down in the description just Zacks jerry-rigged same as all my social medias and then I will also be putting a light bar on my truck in between the roof racks but I'm not sure if I'm going to stick that on the main channel or the second channel but the Tacoma still is running great I've put about 6,000 miles on it and I've had it for about three months still love it next question is where do the phones go after you test them I actually have a stack of phones over there in the corner I actually keep all of the phones that I do tests on just in case I need to reference them in other videos so I don't give them away but at the end of their lifespan you know after they're not relevant anymore after a couple years I do harvest the parts and use them for other broken phones or I sell them or recycle them nothing ever gets wasted and nothing ever gets thrown out here on my channel speaking of breaking things have you ever broken something like a leg or an arm so I've never actually broken a bone I have sprained my ankle a couple times jumping off of buildings but no broken bones I have had stitches a lot though which brings us to our next question what's your worst injury from trying to fix things when I was about eight years old I had a coping saws like a little handheld saw that my grandpa gave me grandpa Jerry and I was actually it's the scar you can see on my thumb and the majority of my videos I was making flying pencil people out of wood I just had little artwork that I drew on the piece of wood I was using the coping saw to cut around it and the saw was so sharp cut right through my finger it was deep enough that I needed stitches but not deep enough that I was worried about losing my thumb or anything yeah if you've ever wondered why I had that scar and some my videos it was cuz eight year old me had some projects he was working on next tweet was have you ever crashed a car and the answer to that is yes back in high school I was working construction and I pulled an all-nighter with a concrete pour you know they have to start at night and then finished a huge slab during the day and so I drove back home after like you know 24 hours of no sleep and working hard and I ended up crashing my truck and totaling it and so this is the picture of that and the hair you see in the picture is real and the damage to the truck is also real I've had a few minor dents and dings in my vehicle since then but nothing as serious as that one have you ever thought about opening APO box yes actually I do have a peel box I've put it in some of the descriptions of my videos we'll put that also right here if you want to send me stuff for review or just send me stuff in general you can always do that I will also have it linked in the About section of my channel so if you're watching this video a couple years from now make sure it's up to date I like this question do you have an engineering degree or any higher education degree and you consider it as something important something important yes and known I did graduate college with a bachelor's in business so I do have that you know higher degree but I've never actually used it I always knew that I was gonna work for myself after I was done with school I've always had that kind of entrepreneurial mindset even that's like a little kid but I was never the biggest fan of like school in general where you had to like sit down and you know look at the teacher and like learn a bunch of fluff stuff in order to get to the more important materials and it was super hurt some when they would pull up a YouTube video that I could find for free on the internet myself and they would play it in class that I was paying thousands of dollars for that was frustrating so I feel like a motivated person can learn the exact same thing for free online and they don't necessarily need to go to college to get that piece of paper that degree but that piece of paper is incredibly important if you're going to be hired for a job in the future so that companies know you actually put in the effort and learn something people always point out that Oh Steve Jobs dropped out of school or Bill Gates dropped out of school and yeah that's true they didn't graduate from college but at the same time they already had something in place making them money before they dropped out you know so if you have a plan and it's successful then maybe schools not you know the most important thing but until you have something in place that is working stay in school graduate and get that degree as a good back-up plan plus being in school around people in the same degree as you as like the best way to network and you can use those connections throughout your entire life networking is almost more important than the actual knowledge you have yeah I did graduate and school is good for the most part another question why are newer phones getting harder and harder to repair and to answer this I would have to say aesthetics for one I mean first and foremost people want to buy phones that look good and hard to repair phones you know that hide the screws or using premium materials those look good and people want to buy them but also very close to that first point a repairable phone lasts longer and therefore companies like Apple or Samsung make less money if people can easily fix them and personally I'm hoping that by running the largest cell phone repair channel on the internet that I'm helping you the viewer the customer save money and keep money in their own pocket because the best way to recycle a cell phone is to keep it alive as long as possible prolong that lifespan before you have to buy something else which is kind of why I'm still using the Galaxy S 8 and not directly switching with the Galaxy S 9 cuz I just don't need it right now are you a full-time youtuber yes I have had my channel for about six years now and for the last three of those I've been full time YouTube I still have side projects here and there that I do but YouTube is my main venture and surprising there there's a lot of questions about this - how much time per week do you put in at the gym so since YouTube is my full-time job and I work for myself the gym is one of the only places where I get you know social interaction and so I go there pretty much every day I had a lot of questions on what I do at the gym usually start off with cardio try to burn you know anywhere from 300 to 600 calories doing cardio and then the rest of the week I space out different weightlifting activities with free weights and benching and stuff like that I don't feel like I can like legitimately start my day until I've already been to the gym it's become a habit at this point and I really enjoy it so it's fun what percentage of my audience is from different parts of the world so I actually this up in the last 30 days I'll put this right here about 30% of my audiences from the United States 12% is from India 6% from the UK 3% from Germany and 3% from Canada you can kind of see a cycling down along the bottom there the other 48% is from the rest of the country so it's a pretty worldwide audience most of those are from the ages of 18 to 35 and they are male for example if you look at the last video I put out this is a drone where I reviewed that egg drone 1% of the viewers of that video were female which brings us to our next question do you have a girlfriend and no I do not I have to work on getting those female metrics up past 1% can you speak Spanish si hombre hablo and poco epidemia Spaniel in Guatemala I learned my Spanish in Guatemala I lived in Guatemala for two years when I was 19 years old serving a mission for my church have you ever seen those you know two guys walking around in a white shirt and tie I was one of those Mormon missionaries but after the two-year mission is up you go home and live your life like a normal person just as a normal member of the church again it was definitely a cool experience and while I was there I learned Spanish next question did you always live in Utah and how did you meet what's inside so I did all of my high school years here in Utah so I count that is pretty much growing up you know besides the two years in Guatemala and I actually so what's inside lives here in Utah as well but we actually met in Ireland at a video conference called the power of video talking about YouTube and stuff too you know the people of Northern Ireland but you know after that we came back I was about two years ago and we've been friends ever since YouTube is kind of a very unique career choice and so it's nice having someone who does the same thing that you can kind of connect with plus we both like taking stuff apart so it's a win-win situation if you have any questions that I didn't get around to answering or I haven't answered in my other q and A's go ahead and leave them down in the comments I'll be there for a couple hours after this video is posted answering those questions hit that subscribe button if you haven't already I got a bunch more truck videos cell phone repair videos and durability tests coming up in the near future come follow me on Twitter so you can be part of the next question and answer and I'll see you on Instagram thanks a ton for watching and I will see you around
