- Hey guys. How's it going?
So today we are going to be doing
a super simple just very chill laid back ask iJ episode.
So I asked you guys on Twitter for some questions
and the first question that I saw
is Eric wants to know what happened to my theme song.
It's still here. I guess we should probably queue it up.
(snaps)
The second question I'm going to answer because
it is what I called this video
and I'm sure many of you are wondering.
Thanks to Tim for asking this question.
When is the last time that I used windows?
What's my fascination with Apple?
It seems you can get a much more powerful PC for less.
You're right.
You can get a much more inexpensive,
more powerful computer.
But what your not getting is Mac OS.
I love the Mac operating system.
It's beautiful.
It works seamlessly for everything that I need to do.
I'm a designer.
I edit video.
I do a lot of graphics.
I do a lot of things with photography.
Apple is made for that.
This is not new information.
Granted, most of the things that I do use
you could also use on a PC.
The entire Adobe suite, but I edit in Final Cut Pro
so that would prove to be a little bit of an issue
because I can't edit in Final Cut Pro on a PC.
The look of Apple products, they are absolutely stunning.
To that point though,
Microsoft and many other computing companies
are stepping up their game because they have to.
We want things that look great but also work great.
As for your first question,
When was the last time I used windows?
Probably 45 minutes ago.
I have a PC, right there.
I just downloaded Diablo 3.
I used to be absolutely obsessed with Diablo 3
whenever it first came out
and I'm worried about what's going to happen
if I start playing again.
So I guess to answer your question
with what my fascination is with Apple,
I don't think it's a fascination necessarily.
They had also done things differently.
Apple changed the music industry single-handedly
with the iPod and the integration of iTunes.
For me, starting at a young age,
we always had Apple computers at our house,
so I didn't know anything else when I was younger.
That's what I used.
And when I went to school
and started using Windows computers
I was like, what, huh, huh?
There's a whole 'nother world out there
that I didn't even know about.
And not only Windows, the first time that I installed Linux
on one of my old, old Macs,
I was like, this is incredible.
Granted, I didn't really use Linux that much
but it was something that even at a young age,
it sort of opened my eyes to Open Source
and how many other things that are out there,
and not just Apple.
With all that being said, I'm not a Windows hater.
I actually have a very fun unboxing coming up.
Probably, hopefully, in the next week or so
when I get back into town.
I am so excited about it.
If you've been following me on Instagram or Twitter
you might have saw something on there
that will give you a hint as to what it is.
Ashton is saying, "Look at the way Justine looks
while cutting 40 pounds of chocolate."
Everyone should be terrified.
(laughs)
Jared wants to know what's the worst piece of tech
that I still use today.
It's probably a wired mouse.
This is not it.
Clearly it looks like I don't use it.
I just recently had my entire office ripped apart
'cause I had a leak in my roof,
so I still haven't fixed everything back up, but here it is.
This is my baby.
One of my favorites.
(helicopter noises)
Do you guys here that?
Are they coming to take me away?
(gasp)
I guess I'll take this opportunity to brush my hair.
They are like literally outside my house.
Let's carry on.
Who is my favorite racer in Mario Kart?
Definitely Toad.
What is happenin'?
Are you lookin' for somebody?
You're beautiful.
You're a beautiful dog.
This is actually great.
Colton says, What do you think of this giant Matty?
And that actually does look like him.
Look over here.
Hey.
No the other way.
Now look this way.
See?
So they can see you.
I really wish this helicopter would go away.
Oh sleepy dog.
This video is going really well, isn't it?
Macowso wants to know what I'm listening to
on Audible this month.
And this is, my dear friend, Lilly Singh.
It's her new book that just came out
How To Be A Bawse.
Clearly there's some sort of invasion
happening outside right now.
I did start actually reading it to the analog pages
and it is a beautiful book,
so if you do not have this book
you need to get it in one form or another.
Lilly is one of those people that is by far
the most hardest working YouTuber that I have ever met.
I don't think she sleeps.
I don't know how she does all the things that she does.
With her new book,
you'll be able to find out how to also be a boss.
If you wanna get Lilly's book or any other book
you can check out my link below
audible.com/ijustine
where you guys can get a 30 day free trial
and also a free book.
So this could be yours or you could get my book
if you haven't listened to it already.
Let me know what book you guys get.

I seriously just, Audible is one of those things
that I've actually starting listening to while I play Zelda.
So it actually makes me feel like
I'm being sort of productive,
because I'm learning some sort of information
while also playing a video game.
I think.
That's what I'm telling myself
and that's what I'm telling you
so you can tell yourself that.
George wants to know how I became friends with Ro.
So crazy enough, Ro actually made
a Black Ops cake years and years ago
and she tweeted it to me.
I was blown away with how amazing the cake was
and I was like, this girl is awesome!
So I followed her on Twitter,
Subscribed to her YouTube channel
and not only is she an incredible YouTuber,
but she's funny, and cute, and is just awesome.
Fan girl moment.
Hashtag girl love.
We've also done so many fun colabs together
that I made a playlist of it
so I'll put that link in the description also
and in annotation, so you guys can go check out
all of the videos that we've done.
Not only on my channel but on hers.
Colton wants to know if I'm playing Zelda still.
I am still playing but it's nice,
because since I beat the game, I'm just playing
like a casual normal level that feels healthy.
Whereas before I was playing so much that I felt worried.
I was worried about my health.
(laughs)
Gavin.
(laughs)
He wants to know about how I feel about the man in this gif.
And that man is Jim Carrey.
I love Jim Carrey.
I love him so much.
Like, I just, I'm speechless.
How much time time do I spend editing vs filming?
Well, for this video for example,
I thought it was going to be a super quick,
turn on the camera, start chatting,
but I have a feeling as I've started chatting
and how many times I've messed up and had to start over,
this is probably going to be a five
or six or seven hour edit,
depending how many times I get sidetracked,
so it can take a very long time.
But I actually really enjoy editing.
I love to edit.
I think it's so much fun to sort of piece together
and sort of tell a story out of whatever it is
that I just filmed.
Editing Vlogs are probably my favorite thing
even though I feel like those are not
the most viewed thing on my channel.
I hope that people enjoy them,
because they are one of my favorite things to do.
And I'm trying to find a creative way to make mundane things
that I do on a daily basis seem sort of interesting.
It's not easy, it's not easy at all.
But I like that challenge, and it's fun.
And I like doing silly and fun things
and filming it for you guys.
Ben wants to know what it's like to be on Chopped.
If you guys didn't know I was on Chopped.
You can watch rerun, it was on the Celebrity Tournament.
It was the Webstars Edition.
It was actually so much fun.
I had an incredible time.
Everyone on set was so awesome,
and it really fun to sort of be in this professional kitchen
with professional things.
Like everything was, they had everything.
They had ice cream makers.
The had deep fryers and I was there just like,
Oh God, where's the blender?
And I didn't even end up using the blender.
I had so much fun and would I do it again?
Yes, yes I would.
Definitely fearful what would have happened
on the second round because, I don't know.
I think I could've done it.
I thought I did a really good job on my appetizer.
Either way I'm sure you can find it On Demand or on Reruns
because you guys have been tweeting me every time it's on
and it seems to be on quite a lot.
Well that's it guys.
I will see you on my next video.
I'm sorry this is sort of just a random one.
I don't even know what the heck is going on.
I probably should've put like a little bit of makeup on
'cause I've got this screen over here,
that's what I'm looking at and I was like, "Wow."
I feel like I got a little sunburn today.
I went outside.
Can you believe it? I went outside.
God this is such an incredible, this monitor is beautiful.
I love it. It's so crisp.
Wow.
Anyway, I'll see you guys later.
(upbeat music)
