Come to Southern California and you can do a live stream from Huntington Pier to Balboa Pier. That would be some fun content.

As a former YTer, I noticed that people don't really care about "production value" on a YT channel. As you know, content is king. As long as we can see clear video and crisp audio, the editing style doesn't matter. Just my 2 cents.

@@flicks28 That isn't why. It's the same reason people are content with mono bluetooth speakers and really didn't need or want the digital conversion (1080i OTA or 4/8K video). Like with art unless you can be taught how to appreciate things, it's just blah to you. Another reason is people are pressed for time, so getting to the point the quickest is best. Challenging for content creators. You can also see it in the DM's CB gets, today's generation is more interested in the answer than how we came to that conclusion.
Lucky for you, us motorheads love seeing cars no matter what part of the world they are in. The more areas you get to in order to expose the car culture the better!!
Regarding those travel videos from during the situation; yeah, there's definitely a lot of people who loved them. They gave people a vicarious experience while trapped at home. And for some, it was something to look forward to doing once we were all able to travel again.

I agree they were awesome, but who was trapped? I loved them because they were Thailand and I was going through the immigration process with my wife. I rode my. Motorcycle in Southern California more than pre Covid. When I rode along the coast, there were so many people out. Far more than pre Covid. This idea that people were trapped in their homes, especially in California was a political narrative that just wasn’t true. It might have been true for the first week or two, but that shit changed quickly. For sure there was ridiculous things like scenic turnouts on twisty roads being blocked, or piers being closed. Also they closed parking lots at the beach, but people got around all that bs. Remember, fake news isn’t only from one political perspective. I hate political bs, but I have no problem pushing back on it.

I also traveled for work about 70% as normal. I remember my first trip to Texas from California thinking it was gonna be a Covid free for all. Wrong! The restrictions and guidelines were by far more strictly followed. On a work trip, every meal is eaten out. In California, my wife cooked 90% of our meals which is awesome, I love Thai food, but in Texas… they were serious. No wonder my Texas friends were so facebook vocal against Covid. If they had come to California they really would have hated us.

Our favorite sushi joint had no sushi bar because of Covid so we would order to go and drive 2 blocks to the beach and watch the waves crash while eating our Thai made sushi. The only thing missing was sake and beer….lol.
A drama free life is 100% justification for NOT having a girlfriend! Great choice Chad! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

I am 50 years old, and this may sound a little insensitive, but I have learned that women in the sense of relationships are only good for having kids and raising a family. Aside from that, they offer no value whatsoever because the experiences that men and women have are completely different. I would rather chug a couple of beers with good male friends. I do have two female friends that I meet up with from time to time for good bedroom fun, but we understand that it’s only for fun and nothing serious.

@@joer8386 If you have these options. Because of the economic dynamics in SEA being a Western free agent works because there are plenty of attractive women to have casual dates with. Not that their demand for LTR"s has changed, you have a much bigger pool of women to choose from than back at home. You don't have to rush into something. I don't blame CB Media for not desiring to return to the US. People keep asking because they want to confirm their own bias that the US is still the best country to be in. Only for the Top 10% currently enjoys life in the United States. It's much easier to find happiness by reducing outlay rather than trying to make a million.
Ya the moving thing !! stay in Thailand. I just lost my wife to Cancer 1 month ago today and when i get my crap in order i will be moving there also. I need to get out of the Canada USA area...

Congrats and good luck to you in your endeavors Chad. Been here since the beginning and I'll keep stopping in from time to time.
Love your videos Chad, you definitely did so much to help people during “ The Situation “ I found your channel well before 30k subscribers and still love watching 💯🥃🥃🇦🇺
So cool you're doing what you want without getting rooted. Most people would like to be such a free spirit.
I found your channel during "the situation " and loved it from day one! I sometimes wonder how the coffee girl is doing from your early videos. Im here for whatever content you throw at us! I can't wait to see future content from all over.
Thanks for the update, looking forward to watching your adventures
Glad to see you are doing well! Looking forward to all that great content as usual!
Hardcore viewer here quality content is quality content keep it up 👍and yes I loved even the one take it was super fun thanks for the entertainment!
You are flipping amazing Chad, because of you you ignited my spark to Thailand car culture that I never knew existed, I thank you and I will be joining your PATREON, from day 1 your videos show how genuine you are not like some of these fake youtubers... big respect to you.....from STANGO
Big ups to Chad for all the situation coverage and content since late 2019,Cant wait to see what the next few years has to offer
Thanks for the "Flippin" update Chad!!) Been really enjoying these videos! 🚙
Great video! Thanks for honesty answering so many questions. I love all your content, keep it up! Safe travels!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride CB. I have been to so many of these places in my youth and I get to relive the memories through your journey.✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏
I really enjoyed Thailand during the situation. I had Bangkok almost to myself. I won't drive any significant distance here now. Every trip has a near death experience. Looking forward to your blogs coming.
Happy for you, that you are doing so well. Really appreciate the great content you have been producing, it's been a great source of entertainment for me. I always look forward to your next video!
Good for you😮 your joy and Enthusiasm is appreciated and contagious
being a fellow Chad I watch ALL the videos! Good luck brotha I'll be watching!! (and hitting that thumbs up!!!)
Nice update, Thank you for all your content
thx for the updates Chad enjoy your travels
Your motorbike vids were gold. It reminded me of a time when I lived in Chiang Mai and rode my motorbike all over the north. That time in my life was the best and will never be replicated, just as your experience can never be replicated. Oddly, the situation worked out in your favor. Covid actually made it possible to experience what Thailand was like many years ago. Happy you got to experience that brother! Good luck on your future endeavors. Ill be watching
You know i really think you deserve more subs you post some of the absolutely craziest cars and just suped up built things to race in general alot of unique things that other channels that dont show your videos are always 🔥🔥 wish you the best
Always great Chad. I’m so jealous. You’re doing great. Thanks for the content you’re always the first channel I look for starting Saturday morning
Your girlfriend is pregnant so you had to move back to the US. Best of luck sir. It was a good run.

Congrats bro, your energy is so inspiring best wishes in all your upcoming projects !
appreciate the transparency Chad. Love what you do.

Still here since you hit 5000k subs. Will be supporting you all the way regardless of your decision, can't wait til you hit that 1mill! All the best Chad
Well this explains why i didn't see the weekly upload yesterday morning Chad. Sounds like you're going to have quite a few interesting months coming up, looking forward to the content you'll be sharing with us.
All the best mate, good luck and keep posting some quality videos…big fan here
Yes, I am definitely one who joined for the motorbike tours back in the original days when you only had a few subscribers.
I love your comments on YT algorithm. I have an odd obsession with learning algorithms. Your videos are awesome, keep up the great work! ❤
Good Luck , Chad and Safe Travels !....Take Care...
I enjoy watching your videos and appreciate the effort you put into them. Wishing you all the best, whether you are in Thailand or any other country.
All the best to you, Chad. I'm looking forward to your new adventures. Btw, the 'spatula' mic is epic.👍🏽
The "situation" vids were the best you really made me feel like i was there, i was meant to be there with my family but i was stuck in Melbourne. You really helped my situation more than you know, Thank you
Well, sorry you had to come back Look forward to following in your adventures
Enjoy your life, brother! See you back in Thailand someday. 🤙
You're an awesome guy my friend. Change is inevitable. Embrace it.
Can’t wait to see you expand to different areas best of luck.
Great video. It is incredible that no matter where people are, we have car shows, car sports etc. Thanks for covering it.
The motorbike tours got me hooked on your channel, brother. They were THE best😊. Thank for the memories!
I'm not a car or motor guy, but your content during the situation opened my eyes to Thailand and for that I'm forever grateful for your channel. Cheers!
All of your videos are awesome! you are the content no matter what you do! you are living the life I wish I did!
You do you chad!
I’ve been a subscriber since 2020 and have watched about 99% of your videos. Still always looking forward to it. Anyway, I just got back from Phuket Bike Week and yes, the weather is brutal. I’ve got heat rash on me now but it was all worth it. Thai auto shows are on a different level. Cheers to you Chad and safe travels.
Much appreciation for the update…..May your adventures be blessed with happiness and safety. ….. Tom
Good update! I'm sure you thought about it, but just a motorbike video in any country would be good! I personal just enjoy your videos, humor. I've been watching for years now so it's good to see an update video. Vietnam trip would be so cool.
Congrats!!! You had a great run! Lived The life!
Living the dream Chad. Congratulations and good luck with your travels. My wife and I love your channel 👍
Your take on long term relationships is 1000% correct.
Chad I loved the situation motorbike tours. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us with your travels. Please keep the spatula mic for our annual FAQ videos.
Will keep supporting u chad
i love you car show videos because you show what is really important to us car guys "cool cars and cool girls" thank you and keep going.
Enjoyed your bike videos during the situation , all the very best .
You keep doing you Chad !!! Keep living the travel lifestyle we all admire and wish we could achieve…… and yeah less baggage is best for drama free living !!!
Love your channel man. Keep up the hard and good work. Following from South Africa. I have a brother working in Bangkok. Peace.
Nice!! Looking forward to new adventures!!!!

The situation is what made my enjoyment of Thailand travel. Able to travel around and no tourists to actually enjoy the places I love.
Hi CB Media, were excited for the b2b cebu vlog :D
Nice to see you Chad. Just do what you like to do and let us in every now and then 😂. I love your enthusiasm. It takes a special person to do what you do. I like Jomtien for partly the same reasons. It's close to Bangkok, salty winds and lots of sun is good for my allergy and Jomtien is quite calm and nice. I play a lot of pool when I'm there and the beer tastes as good as anywhere 😊.
great update chad
Keep doing your thing bro!!!💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯
I love the spatula microphone. Best of luck to you.
Following you since the "situation", (by the way thank you because it helping me to stay connect with the country that i love Thailand) from France and watching you video every time that you was posting it but since 4 to 5 months i didn't have (because of the algorithm) your video popping up, i really thought that you stopped your channel and went back to the US,i'm glad that you still doing your things ,i will catch up on the video that i missed!!
Totally agree with you about the heat. I always wondered how KZreadrs in Thailand and how they handle it. Plus the editing time. We met once shortly at Sue's Mexican. But you were eating, so let you be. Good luck man. 🙏
Good for you Chad
lol your setup mic is insane and yeh enjoy life as best as u can
When the spatula is out, its on , all the best my friend for your future endevours.
Good for you. Take care of yourself…No substitution for a healthy mind & body! Thank you for your content!
Absolutely, fan for life. Rock on bro.
I had some of my best memories and travel experiences during covid. I was in Thailand for most of it as well as Spain and the uk. Everything was chill and prices were dirt cheap. Now everything has been turned up to 11 😢
Really happy for you getting the sponsor. Also wondered how you managed to avoid getting hooked. Totally get it.
