CLASSIC CHEMTRAILS [Patreon Excl. Clip]

Hi guys, new doc will be dropping on the channel. Hopefully soon. Still working out some of the trickier parts of the edit.

This is a short clip of when I took a ferry trip to France alongside a conspiracy theorist/Far Right Influencer.

Hope you enjoy this sneak peak, as there's much more to come.

First Look at How to LIVE Forever - [Opening 5 mins]

The full 1h30min documentary will be uploaded to the YouTube Channel soon. Still have a few small changes and checks I need to do before release, but here's a sneak peak with a few clues as to why this has taken me so long.

The sound might not be perfectly mixed, but otherwise, this is what the doc is going to look like.

How to LIVE Forever is all about the longevity industry and Bryan Johnson - the industry's most infamous star. I've been working on this for the better part of...

This is an interview with Aron D'Souza - founder of the Enhanced Games - a proposed alternative to the Olympics. It'll be annual event instead of every four years, the athletes will be paid ,and they will juiced to gills with any performance-enhancing drugs they dare to inject.

The Toxic Business of 2023 [uncut]

There's a pretty good chance that YouTube is going to demand that I cut bits from this video  (boring backend inside-baseball moneitisation bollocks, won't go on about it) so I'm uploading the uncut version here for posterity.

A.I. Apocalypse Trailer

Hit a few delays with the Japan video. But in the meantime, you can expect a new, very 2023 video on the channel by the end of the month. 

Been having a lot of fun with it, and this just a short teaser.

An Ordinary Japanese Home

An extract from the Japan video I'm working on. Where I encounter and overcome the challenges of living in a Tokyo apartment. 

This is going to be a very different video than my usual output. It was an excuse to go to Japan - first and foremost. But also an attempt to teach myself some new trick and try to make some content out of more real life stuff.

It's been a learning experience - with a handful of failures. But I'm hoping this will be the shakey start of a new, exciting...

Touring a Nuclear Waste Facility [Patreon Exclusive Content]

Hi everyone,

Happy 2023 and thank you for supporting me - especially those who have been keeping the channel going for over a year now. In 2023, one of my (many) new year resolutions was to start regularly posting some patreon content. Another resolution was to travel more - and this short video is the culmination of these two things.

This is some quick footage of a longer project that will be on the main channel sometime later in the year. Its a video about nuclear power - about ...

Behind the Scenes Video and Second Channel!

This is a behind the scenes video I made while I am setting up my new studio/spare room. 

It is also the first video of a new channel - Ordinary Stuff, only viewable to patreons.

I am going to be making more content here - more freeform and fun, and for the time being - only you guys will be able to see it.

I'm only just starting to figure out exactly what i'm going to do with it. I've got a few ideas, and I'm excited share them all with you.

Thank you all and p...

Upload Tomorrow - Probably

I was going to be uploading today, but am in the process of contesting a demonitisation. It might have something to do with my guided tour of hell while dressed as Charles Manson, or just the general Hell-ish vibes. Hopefully will be resolved and uploaded tomorrow.

Upcoming Episode...And Greetings From Vlad

Hi everyone,

Just want to extend a thank you to all of you, for both your support and patience! 

But thought I would take the opportunity to say that the next ordinary thing will be delivered to your face in the next few days (hopefully Monday). And from that point on, I will hopefully have the time to produce episodes more frequently.

The next episode will be a History of the Office, or 'How the Office Crushed Your Soul'. 

In the meantime though, I thought I...
