Now, you might think that since I'm making a part 2 of this, I must get recognized a whole lot

like I'm some sort of celebrity or something...

...I'm awkward, and I don't want to speak for everyone, but chances are, you're awkward, too.

So when I do get recognized, we're both being awkward. Together.

Once you get to MY level of YouTube fame, whenever I go out in public, I always have a thought in the back of my mind:

"I wonder if any of these people have seen me pour sprinkles over my shirtless body?"

I especially get worried when I see my target demographic in public...

Will stare at me for an uncomfortable amount of time.

And I'm just trying my best NOT to make eye contact.

You know, I don't really have any defining physical characteristics that make me stand out.

As of right now, little boys have to look at me and think:

"Is that tall, white, dirty blond hair, early 20 year old beta male that one youtuber I like?

It's funny I call myself "TheOdd1sOut", when I'm part of like.. no minorities.

I mean I might get nervous around little boys..

But when I DO get recognized it's the highlight of my day.

So one time I went to Walmart and I was buying a bunch of whoopee cushions for my April Fool's video,

and as I was walking down the aisle I saw this little boy at the

other end walking towards me and his face just lit up and I thought, "Oh this

kid knows this is happening, ladies and gentlemen here we go!"

"Are you James?" "whoo?" and I walked off I'm just kidding I mean I did say "whoo" but I

didn't walk away, I was just, I was just messing with the kid it's probably

really weird for that kid to see a YouTuber in Walmart buying nothing but

whoopie cushions, so that was fun. This other time I was buying supplies for my

3,000,000 sprinkle video and I ended up going to three different stores, "Hey do

you guys have an inflatable pool?" "Yeah what size do you need?" "Um, enough to fit

three million sprinkles..." "What are you using it for?" "I need it for a thing."

So after I finished my important business errands I felt a little hungry so I

decided to buy some pre-made food. I work hard DANG IT! I deserve it and I decided

to go eat at Zupas. Zupas is a pretty good restaurant, they have sandwiches and

soup and they give you a chocolate-covered strawberry with every

order. I'm telling you this because I want them to

sponsor me. I went up to the counter and there was this employee that said, "Hey

man what's up?" And this is going to be a bit of a tangent but I just want to say

that I absolutely LOOOVE that kind of employee. It's SOOO much better than those

fake fast-food employees, do you know the ones I'm talking about? Like every time I

pull up into a chick-fil-a drive-through there will be an employee that will say

"It's always a great day at chick-fil-a! My name is Mackenzie. How may I serve you?"

And I just want to say "Mackenzie, Mackenzie, Mackenzie, Mackenzie. I came

here yesterday and Bryan said the exact same thing. I know your manager told you

to say that. Look, neither of us want to be here okay?

No one says 'It'S a gReaT dAy At CHicK-Fil-A', okay, that's so dumb. So stop

lying to me and give me the usual. Like I would much rather have a fast-food

employee just say *punches wall* "What you want?!?" Okay maybe not that rude but you get the

point. So now there's a random guy who works at

Zupas who doesn't even know I put him in a YouTube video but I like his work

ethic. Treat me like a person and not like a customer. Anyway, tangent

over. I ordered some soup and a sandwich. Cool. I go up to the cash register, my

soup is ready, but my sandwich wasn't. The girl said "Did you get anything else or

just soup?" I said "No I got a sandwich too." I paid for the food but the sandwich

still wasn't ready. I checked my phone, looked at Twitter. By now the sandwich

was done. The girl took the sandwich and the soup and a chocolate-covered

strawberry and put it in a plastic box doggy bag thing. I was super hungry.

I thought the transaction was done, so I grabbed a box and start sliding it

towards me. Then she took out a plastic bag and said

"Oh, do you want in a bag?" and I thought "Yeah. I do." So I slid the food back over,

for that. "Oh hey, I mean, mean WHOOOooOoOoOoO?

She said, "Did you come here because of my email?"

*James whispering* "You've sent an email?"

So that was pretty fun all. The other employees were like, "Wait, this

There's a high chance that this woman is watching this video

right now and I looked up her email and her name is Scarlett, isn't that a nice

can you tell your coworker I like his work ethic?

Also, can you hook me up with free Zubaz? I never really understood how

people could get nervous talking to me. I'm just some 21 year old who likes M&Ms

and drawing cartoons for the Internet. I've always thought of myself as a

pretty normal guy. At least I never understood that sort of nervousness

I recently got into this game called Mario Maker (good game) which

is a game where you can make your own Mario levels and share

players that were one: good at the game and two: weren't screaming every 10

which is actually a lot harder to find and you might think. But, I went

searching and I found these three let's players who mostly play Mario Maker and,

they're "all right" at the game. I mean they're only a little better than me. (jealous much?)

If one of my videos gets delayed, you could probably thank these three because

I'm watching their videos instead of working.

weird, but every morning after I wake up at 12,

I watch one of their videos so I start my day off with my Mario Maker Boys. (MMB)

Anyway, one of the let's players, "carlsagan42"
