all right youtube let's do this let's
[23]
talk about it you've got some questions
[24]
for me i've got some answering to do
[26]
let's talk about the elf in the room the
[28]
question that you've all been asking me
[29]
every single day and that is am i still
[31]
working for james on the strad man
[33]
channel did i get fired was there some
[35]
drama did i resign what what happened uh
[38]
to answer your question no i no longer
[40]
work for james on the strad man channel
[42]
now are we still friends of course we're
[43]
still friends was there drama no of
[45]
course there was no drama so i've been
[47]
actually helping james for almost three
[48]
years filming videos now two years
[50]
before you guys ever saw me as the
[51]
cameraman i've been helping him with
[52]
logistics filming random stuff and
[55]
moving cars and just kind of trying to
[56]
be involved as much as i could as a
[58]
friend and so in october james asked me
[60]
to work for him full time where i kind
[61]
of did the same thing where i just
[62]
helped him with everything we also added
[65]
editing and a few other things onto that
[66]
so it's one of those things that i
[68]
thoroughly enjoyed working with james
[70]
because it was basically just like
[71]
hanging out with your buddy uh now to
[73]
get paid to do that to drive super cars
[74]
a bunch of fun it is super cool and so
[77]
you guys might be asking me why would i
[78]
make the decision to no longer work with
[80]
james when there's so many cool aspects
[81]
and so many cool perks to it
[83]
the answer is i have stuff in my life in
[86]
my personal life that takes precedence
[88]
over being able to spend so much time
[89]
with james i realized that all the
[91]
editing and all the time spent and all
[92]
the sleepless nights trying to get
[93]
projects done uh because it was so fun
[95]
to do it i realized i was sacrificing
[97]
other areas of my life that i realize
[99]
are more important so james thank you so
[101]
much for everything you've done i've had
[102]
the funnest year of my life we've had so
[103]
many cool people we've gone on so many
[104]
cool adventures but it's one of those
[106]
things that i i now have to focus on on
[108]
myself because over the last few months
[111]
uh you guys might even know this i've
[112]
been married for six years i have a
[113]
five-year-old kid named hudson he's the
[115]
best thing that ever happened to me but
[116]
my wife and i decided to call it quits
[118]
and so it's been
[119]
a few months since we've actually been
[120]
divorced and it's just one of those
[122]
things that's uh i haven't talked about
[124]
it with a lot of people it's awkward
[125]
people think it's a failure people look
[127]
at divorce as uh
[129]
as a negative it's a bad thing that you
[130]
guys did something wrong and something
[131]
happened
[132]
for us that's just not the case for us
[134]
the way our relationship started i'm
[136]
proud that we got six years it's one of
[138]
those things that i look at as a fresh
[139]
start and so does she we're able to move
[141]
on and kind of experience life kind of
[143]
with with a
[144]
new lens and so for me i'm excited for
[147]
the future i don't know what that means
[148]
i just know that i want to be a good dad
[150]
i want to be the best dad i can be i
[151]
want to be the best father i can be the
[153]
best person i can be and so i realized
[154]
that i need to kind of step back and put
[157]
more effort into my own life and into my
[159]
own projects i get so much fulfillment
[161]
out of these videos now i know i don't
[163]
plan on my youtube channel ever being
[164]
big enough to wear pays for stuff but i
[166]
think it's super fun that i can come out
[168]
and make videos and if you guys want to
[169]
keep watching them i appreciate it at
[171]
the same time i don't want to promise
[172]
you anything but i do want to tell you
[174]
that i'm going to give it a good shot
[175]
now that i've got some free time on my
[176]
hands and so i do have some videos
[178]
coming up i've got some stuff coming up
[179]
with a car some some some parts coming
[180]
in we're wrapping the car the wrap gets
[182]
here tomorrow and so i'm super excited
[184]
for that um and if you guys are
[186]
interested in watching that great but
[187]
thank you again for watching this video
[188]
i'm sorry that there's no more drama to
[190]
it it's just that simple some stuff that
[192]
i got to focus on in my own
[196]
life are you
[199]
leaning on
[201]
when the cold winds blow strong
[204]
with all that's going on
[211]
