So this is my third question and answer video. The last one was about a year ago, so it's

high time for another one. I asked on Twitter a couple days ago what questions you guys

have for me, and today I'm going to answer some of them here on camera.

The first one is from my buddy Super Saf, and he says, “Do you even lift, Bro?”

I actually do enjoy going to the gym. I go pretty much every single day. Since I'm self-employed

doing this whole YouTube thing, it's kind of like my only social interaction throughout

the day, and so it's kind of important. More than lifting though, I like running. I've

done two marathons, I've done quite a few Spartan races, I think like 8 or 9, and then

a ton of Ragnar races as well. It's kind of like a relay race where you have 12 people

and you run for like, a day and a half straight. But yeah, to answer your question, I think

the gym and exercising is a very important part of a well rounded life. And I try to

have a well rounded life in as many areas as possible.

The next question is from Candice Navarro and it says, “Is it true that Apple took

the headphone jack off because they ran out of screws over the years they've been screwing

people?” I think you and I would get along very well.

Speaking of Apple philosophies, we have Deke asking, “Will you ever start buying phones

without a headphone jack? Is it really a must have for you?” To answer that question I

would say that everything I have in my life is useful in one way or another. I pick the

most useful things for me. One example would be that I've carried a pocket knife with me

every day for like the last 10 years, give or take. It's this pocket knife right here,

and I choose that this one's the most useful for me because it has swappable razor blades.

So when one gets dull I can just swap it out really easily, pop it back in my knife and

it's good to go. And so for me personally, this knife is the most useful. It's cheap,

efficient and effective. And in my daily driver, like my vehicle, my truck, I have a tool box

in the back that is constantly prepared with a bunch of different tools that I could use

in any kind of situation. Now a cellphone is the exact same way. I want my cellphone

to be equipped with all the tools that I might need, even if I don't actually need to use

Like I personally own a ton of wireless Bluetooth headphones and I love them. Like running on

a treadmill with a cable attached to your ears is kind of dangerous. I've seen people

whack that cable and their cellphone goes flying across the room. I've even done that

a couple times. So wireless headphones are a must at the gym. But I have left my headphones

at home a couple times and I'm not going to buy a brand new $70-$100 pair of headphones

at the gym. I would much rather buy a $10 corded pair of headphones that I can leave

in my truck or leave in a car, leave in your backpack, just to have whenever you might

forget your expensive pair of headphones. A headphone jack is also useful when you're

driving around in someone's car and they have an AUX cable that you can just plug into your

phone to listen to music. Don't have a headphone jack – can't plug your phone in. Or if you're

an entrepreneur and you need need one of those Square readers to plug in to take credit cards

with your phone – you need a headphone jack for that. Or if you're on a long flight, 10

or 15 hours, and your battery dies in your wireless headphones, it's nice to have a cable

to plug into your phone and use. So for me personally, right now, while there are still

phones out there with a headphone jack installed, like the LG V30 or the Samsung Galaxy Note,

or the Galaxy S8, I'm going to pick one of those phones because it's useful more often

than not. My daily driver is going to have a headphone jack because I like useful things.

Alright we have another question from Zach, good name by the way, “If it wasn't for

YouTube, what would you be doing?” I would say if it wasn't for YouTube right now, I

would probably still be fixing stuff and working on things. When I first started my YouTube

channel, I was actually working on jeeps. Like my first 50 or so videos was me doing

CV axle swaps. I did an engine swap in a Grande Cherokee. Working on big tangible objects.

I mean don't get me wrong, cell phones are great, but they're really small and I would

prefer to work on something bigger. So if it wasn't for YouTube, I would probably either

be doing construction somewhere or being an auto mechanic, but still focusing on the business

aspect of it and not just being a technician. I'd probably own my own little shop somewhere.

And also, I probably wouldn't be that big into social media, and my phone would probably

be 2 or 3 years old and broken several times over.

Not sure how to say this one...Kvaju says, “Do you put dbrand skin on your phones or

do they come preinstalled? Because they are pretty hard to install.” So actually my

job right before I started YouTube was working as a cell phone sales rep for one of the major

carriers here in the United States. And so I've put on over thousands and thousands of

screen protectors on customers phones. So putting on a dbrand skin is actually pretty

easy for me, and I've installed all the ones you've seen on my channel myself. But it does

take a little bit of practice and patience to get it right. One trick if you're installing

a screen protector and you get like a little piece of dust or something underneath, lift

it up, I know a razor blade is probably not the tool of choice for most everybody, but

lift it up with something sharp like a toothpick or a needle or something like that, and then

you can stick a piece of clear Scotch tape underneath and grab that dust speck, pull

it out and let the screen protector fold back down over the screen again. Little trick of

Elliot Cardwell asks, “How frequently do you change your daily driver? And what's been

your most used phone ever?” Switching my daily driver...I hate switching my phone actually,

even though I have a lot of phones available to me (that have all been damaged slightly),

I don't switch my phone that often. I use my tested Galaxy S7 Edge for about a full

year before I switched to the Galaxy S8 Plus. And that's the phone that I'm using right

now- the Galaxy S8 Plus. I do have the Note, but I haven't switched to that. I don't feel

like there's that much of a benefit from me switching from this phone, which is about

the same size, all the way to the Note. I would like that second camera, having that

telephoto lens would be pretty cool. It's not worth the effort for me to switch over

to that phone for just that one small increment of improvement. So I'm going to stick with

the Galaxy S8 for a while. If I wasn't a YouTuber though, like I mentioned before, I would probably

keep my phone for 2 or 3 years before switching. But to answer your question, I switch about

So there were actually a couple of these questions. DiamondGuy asks, “Do you have a car? If

yes, what type is it?” Let me show you. So I drive a 1998 Toyota Tacoma. This thing

has 242,000 miles on it. It's held together with a little bit of duct tape. Over here

on this light, I hit a fence a couple years ago, and this light I've never been able to

get back in the right spot, so I just have some tape holding it in place. I scratched

a little bit of the backside right there. Added the light bar a couple years ago. So

one of the bad things with Toyotas is that they never die. This thing has 242,000 miles

on it. I replaced the muffler actually a couple days ago because it was wearing a hole through

the center of my bed. So you can actually see down into the ground below my truck. There's

that toolbox I was talking about. There's actually a hole right there in the bed as

well. And this has working out really well for me for a really long time. I'll probably

get a new one here in the future, probably another Tacoma. I've had good luck with them

in the past, but this one's doing just fine.

The next question is from Runstairs and he says, “Why is your Tacoma so old and beat

up? I'm sure your YouTube money could buy you a new one.” I think she's beautiful.

“What was your favorite video on your channel so far?” So I had to think about this one

for a second. I have over 500 videos on my channel and I've enjoyed every single one
