  • Jeff, you have the board.

  • Ummm...

  • I'll take Random James Trivia for $400, Alex.

  • This was James's first career choice before his Youtube channel kicked off

  • Oh! I know this one.

  • What is a male prostitute?

  • Ok, that bit's done now.

  • Male prostitute was never a career goal.

  • Well, I mean, it's not COMPLETELY off the table.

  • You never know how YouTube will turn out.

  • If you didn't know this Odd1sOut trivia, I wanted to be a math teacher when I grew up.

  • My dream job was actually a cartoonist, but since me,

  • (and my parents),

  • didn't think I'd be able to make any money drawing pictures, I chose a math teacher as my

  • "I'll settle for this job".

  • I mean, I like math, so I wouldn't have hated being a math teacher.

  • And I'm also probably good at teaching children.

  • (I haven't checked though, but how hard can it be?)

  • "Listen kids, I have 2.7 MILLION subs on YouTube, so if you want a shout-out, you'll have to do the homework."

  • And I thought that a teaching job would give me enough free time to doodle cartoons, so being a math teacher would've been perfect!

  • But OH BOY! That did not turn out how I expected.

  • If, for some reason, my channel died and I stopped making YouTube videos,

  • I would probably go back to school and finish my Math Education major.

  • And then I'd be teaching in class and then one of my students would find out that I used to do YouTube,

  • and then they'd say, "Mr. James, are you TheOdd1sOut?"

  • "TheOdd1sOut? I haven't heard that name in years..."

  • "You shouldn't smoke in front of children, Mr. James."

  • I just want to point this out. In my peeing video, I drew my 1st grade teacher like this.

  • And in my Harry the Moth video, I drew my kindergarten teacher like this.

  • Do you have an explanation on why they're drawn so similar?

  • Yeah, I was lazy.

  • Teachers play such an important role for children, and if I'm being honest, I don't think they get paid enough to take their job seriously.

  • A good teacher can make you excited to learn the material and actually teach you,

  • while a bad teacher can not only waste your time and not teach you anything, but also CRUSH YOUR DREAMS.

  • I took choir in 9th grade, (everyone had to take it, okay? It was a prep school. I'm not weird.)

  • and one time while we were singing a song, the teacher said,

  • "STOP. Who's flat?"

  • Then she pointed at a boy and told him,

  • "You, sing."

  • And he sang for a bit.

  • Then she pointed at another boy,

  • "You, SING."

  • Then she went through a couple more and then she pointed to me and said,

  • "You... SING."

  • And I sung.

  • *James becomes a goat*

  • "STOP. James, during the next song, don't sing."

  • Either she had really good hearing, or I was just that terrible at singing.

  • Now, I REALLY hated choir.

  • So if given the choice to sing or not sing, I would choose not every time.

  • But what if I actually wanted to be a singer,

  • and when I sang just then, I was trying my hardest?

  • That would've been SOUL crushing!

  • I would've given up on music right then and there.

  • Thankfully, my art teacher was a lot more laid back.

  • She definitely had favorite students, and I wasn't one of them.

  • But she never told anyone NOT to draw.

  • One time, I showed my art teacher my newest comic, which at the time was this one,

  • And without telling her that I was the one who made it, I asked, "What do you think of this art style?"

  • and she said, "Oh, I hate it. But it's fine if you like it. In my classroom we try to go for realism,

  • but people with that art style could still have successful careers."

  • She said she hated it.

  • Teachers just need to be more supportive with students and teach them in creative ways.

  • That's why I think so many people hate math.

  • You just haven't had a teacher that made you want to learn.

  • You'd pay attention and study for the tests if I was your math teacher, wouldn't you?

  • Don't get me wrong, teaching isn't an easy job, and even the best teacher can't make everyone in their class excited to learn.

  • I mean, I probably could.

  • But there's definitely a difference between a good and bad teacher.

  • I had this french teacher in 9th grade, and she made me really hate French.

  • And, by association, the entire country of France.

  • She spoke English on the first day of class, and then only spoke French for the rest of the year.

  • We were in French 1, by the way.

  • I didn't understand anything that was going on.

  • I would just tune her out.

  • I'd be doodling on a piece of paper and then people would get out their textbooks and start flipping through it and I'd think,

  • "Oh, we're doing this now?"

  • I didn't learn anything in that class.

  • Honestly, I barely know any French.

  • This is all the French words that I know:

  • I can count to 10:

  • Ooo,Doo,Twa,

  • Cart,Sank,Seis,Sept,

  • Weet,Nerf...

  • ...Okay, I can only count to 9.

  • And, I know that "Eiffel Tower" is "tour Eiffel",

  • "quack" is "coin", (charlatan according to Google Translate)

  • and "door" is "portal". (porte according to Google Translate)

  • My twin sister, who was in the same class and had the same living conditions as me, turned out a lot different.

  • She learned a lot of French and continued to take classes after 9th grade.

  • So maybe this whole knowledge thing has a lot to do with the student, and not the teacher...

  • ...NAH, it's the Teacher's fault!

  • Did anyone else, when you were little, think that your teacher lived at the school?

  • Because I remember one time my kindergarten teacher came to school in her pajamas and told us that she lived at the school,

  • and that made perfect sense!

  • "Yeah, this is your home. This is the only place I ever see you, therefore, you live here."

  • Man, I wish I could work in my pajamas.

  • When I went to community college, I had a math teacher who was this old grandpa, and on the first day he told us that he never missed a class in 20 years.

  • But then the very next day, he didn't show up.

  • Now, in college, teachers not showing up to class is pretty normal.

  • Or at least it was in the colleges I went to.

  • It happened more times than it did in high school, that's for sure.

  • That's something to look forward to, seniors.

  • Every time it does happen, there's always that one kid who will say,

  • "You know there's a rule that if the teacher doesn't show up within the first fifteen minutes of class, then you can leave."

  • I don't know if that rule is true, but I'm not going to look it up,

  • 'cause I like that rule,

  • and I want it to be true.

  • ...And I don't even go to college anymore, so why does it matter?

  • So teachers not showing up; that's not too abnormal.

  • But since this old guy told us he never missed a day of class in 20 years,

  • we thought he died.

  • But NOPE, he just missed a day.

  • He showed up the third day. I don't know what his excuse was because after I saw him I thought,

  • "Oh good, he's alive."

  • And then I stopped paying attention, because community college SUCKS.

  • I'd say that my favorite teacher would be my 11th grade AP US History teacher.

  • I liked him because it was obvious that he liked the material, and he would teach it in a way that was fun and interesting.

  • He was also a more laid back and generally a funny person.

  • He's the teacher that I want to be.

  • He gave me a compliment once that has always stuck with me.

  • He was telling the class about the AP test, which is this super important open-ended essay test that we took at the end of the year,

  • and if we did well on it, the grade would count for college credit.

  • So, like, a week before the test our teacher was preparing us and he said,

  • "Guys, don't try and be funny on the AP test. The graders don't have a sense of humor.

  • "Except James. James can be funny on the test."

  • AWW!

  • That compliment made me SO happy and confident.

  • I don't know how serious my teacher was when he said that, and he probably doesn't even remember saying it, but I really appreciated it.

  • I ended up getting a 3 on the test, which is only partial credit in select colleges,

  • ...so maybe I'm not funny?

  • That was 11th grade.

  • In 12th, I took all AP classes, but I didn't take any of the AP tests.

  • I was too apathetic.

  • But I turned out FINE.

  • Uhh, actually, no.

  • My favorite teacher is my 9th grade English teacher who emailed me and said he watches my videos.

  • Hi, Mr. Batman.

  • Sorry I plagiarized the Berlin Wall essay.

  • I really wanted to talk about my 9th grade poetry teacher.

  • Yes, I took choir, French, and poetry all in 9th grade!

  • It was preparatory school.

  • That teacher was definitely something.

  • But this video's getting too long, so I'll have to make a part 2.

  • Well, that's gonna do it for this video.

  • It's me, "James", and definitely NOT his friend, TimTom, recording the end-screen because James, that's me, would NEVER be that LAZY.

  • Make sure to go check out the merch store! There's two new plushies to check out.

  • There's, like, this weird orange cat thing, and a minimum-wage employee who looks like he's just haVING A BLAST.

  • Also, make sure to check out my FRIEND, TimTom's channel ------> youtube.com/TimTom

  • He's working on something that's BETTER THAN ANY VIDEO I'VE EVER MADE,

  • AND YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBE TO HIM.

  • Remember to put on your seat belt.

  • NAILED IT!

Jeff, you have the board.
