  • Alright.

  • So, it's been about 5 months since my last Q and 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 I got a lot of actually is: What's my daily driver?

  • I'm still using the Galaxy S8 Plus.

  • I don't think the Galaxy S9 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 S8 is working just fine for

  • me.

  • Alright so first question is: When are you going to do some mods for your Tacoma?

  • Um 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 reserve that channel for smaller things.

  • I don't want it to turn into a full scale production for this channel, but I put a roof

  • rack on my truck, and at the end of this week I will be getting a lift for my truck.

  • I'm going to jack it up about 3 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, it's just ZacksJerryRig...same as all my social

  • medias.

  • And then I will also be putting a light bar on my truck inbetween 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 is still running great.

  • I've put about 6,000 miles on it and I've had it for about 3 months.

  • Still love it.

  • Next question: 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 aren't 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've 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 8 years old I had a coping saw, it's a little handheld saw that my grandpa

  • gave me, Grandpa Jerry.

  • And I was actually...it's the scare you can see on my thumb in the majority of my videos.

  • I was making flying pencil people out of wood.

  • I had a little artwork that I drew on the piece of wood and I was using the coping saw

  • to cut around it, and the saw was so sharp I 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.

  • But yeah, if you've ever wondered why I have that scar in some of my videos, it's because

  • 8 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, that you have to start at night and then finish the huge slab during the day.

  • And so I drove back home after like 24 hours of no sleep and working hard, and I ended

  • up crashing my truck and totaling it.

  • So this is a 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 things in my vehicles since then, but nothing as serious

  • as that one.

  • Have you ever thought about opening a PO Box?

  • Yes actually.

  • I do have a PO Box.

  • I've put it in some of the descriptions of my videos.

  • I will 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

  • do you consider it as something important?

  • Something importantyes, and no.

  • I did graduate college with a bachelors in business, so I do have that, you know, higher

  • degree, but I've never actually used it.

  • I always knew that I was going to work for myself after I was done with school.

  • I've always had that entrepreneurial mindset even as a little kid.

  • But I was never the biggest fan of school in general, where you had to sit down and

  • look at the teacher and learn a bunch of fluff stuff in order to get to the more important

  • materials.

  • And it was super irksome 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, the 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 learned 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.

  • So if you have a plan and it's successful, then maybe school is not 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 is 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.

  • But 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 and are 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 cellphone 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 cellphone is to keep it alive as long as possible and

  • prolong that lifespan before you have to buy something else.

  • Which is kind of why I'm still using the Galaxy S8 and not directly switching to the Galaxy

  • S9 because I just don't need it right now.

  • Are you a full time YouTuber?

  • Yes.

  • I've had my channel for about 6 years now, and for the last 3 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 surprisingly there are a lot of questions about this too: 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 social interaction, and so I go there pretty much every day.

  • I got a lot of questions on what I do at the gym.

  • I usually start off with cardio and try to burn anywhere from 300-600 calories doing

  • cardio, and then the rest of the week I space out different weight lifting activities with

  • free weights and benching and stuff like that.

  • I don't feel like I can 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 looked this up and the last 30 days...

  • I'll put this right here...about 30% of my audience is from the United States, 12% is

  • from India, 6% from the UK, 3% from Germany, and 3% from Canada.

  • You can kind of see it cycling down along the bottom there.

  • The other 48% is from the rest of the country, so it's a pretty world wide audience.

  • Most of those are from the ages of 18-35 and they are male.

  • For example, if you look at the last video I put out, “This is a Dronewhere 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 un poco.

  • Aprendi mi espaniol in Guatemala.

  • I learned my Spanish in Guatemala.

  • I lived in Guatemala for 2 years when I was 19 years old serving a mission for my church.

  • Have you ever seen those two guys walking around in a white shirt and tie?

  • I was one of those Mormon missionaries.

  • But after the 2 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 as pretty much growing

  • up, you know, besides the 2 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 to the

  • people of Northern Ireland.

  • But after that we came back, that was about 2 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, cellphone 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.

Alright.
