  • I Spent 24 Hours Alone in Millennium Park Chicago (And Here’s What Happened)

    I Spent 24 Hours Alone in Millennium Park Chicago (And Here’s What Happened)

    Hey friends — Josh here.

    This week, I decided to do something a little different: spend a full day solo exploring one of Chicago’s most iconic spots — Millennium Park.

    I grew up in Chicago, but honestly, I don’t visit The Bean (aka Cloud Gate) nearly as much as you’d think. So I grabbed my camera, some good vibes, and hit the park with no plan except to soak it all in.

    Why Millennium Park?

    Because it’s a Chicago staple. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Millennium Park hits different. From the epic views of downtown to the weird water-spitting faces (yeah, we’ll get to that), this place is packed with art, architecture, and low-key chaotic energy.

    But really, this video wasn’t about The Bean. It was about being alone, on purpose. It was about choosing to explore, to reflect, and to vibe with the city — even if nobody else is around.

    What I Did

    • Saw The Bean from 47 different angles 😂
    • Got emotionally confused by a public toilet 🚽
    • Touched things I maybe shouldn’t have
    • Dropped fun (and possibly false) Chicago facts
    • Strolled across the Peapod Bridge
    • Explored the gardens and weird art posts
    • Got real about hot dogs, pigeons, and overpriced nachos
    • Almost fell in love (with mini golf)
    • Closed it all out with a dramatic fountain finale (minus the water)

    Basically, I walked around like your favorite chaotic tour guide.

    Favorite Moments

    💡 The Bean Hits Different Yes, it’s shiny. Yes, it’s reflective. Yes, everyone’s taken a selfie with it. But there’s still something magical about how it mirrors the skyline. Also, it’s fun to pretend you’re squishing it from a distance.

    🌭 Portillo’s Hot Dogs = Chicago Energy Don’t tell anyone, but… I hate Chicago-style hot dogs. Ketchup-only gang. Sorry not sorry.

    🎭 Random Art Posts and Spitting Faces Chicago is weird. And I love that. The faces on the fountain? Creepy. People getting spit on? Iconic.

    🏙️ Bridge Walks and Garden Vibes Millennium Park is so much more than just The Bean. It’s a vibe. And walking solo through all of it made me feel a little more connected to my city.

    The Road to Fame: A Chaotic Experiment

    What does it really take to get famous? In this 8-part series, I set out to answer that question by trying everything possible—from launching fireworks to social experiments and even (accidentally) getting kidnapped. It’s been a wild ride, and now you can relive every crazy moment from start to finish.

    Episode Breakdown

    Episode 1: The Struggle is Real

    I start my journey frustrated and confused. With over 90 videos and not nearly enough subscribers, I ask my friend Alex for help. His advice? Try anything and everything to get attention. Let’s just say… things got out of hand quickly.

    Episode 2: The List of Fame

    Alex presents a 17-step plan to get famous, and I realize that some of his ideas are questionable at best. From dodging fireworks to bizarre publicity stunts, this is where the madness begins.

    Episode 3: Stand-Up Comedy Gone Wrong

    Thinking I could be a comedian, I test my best jokes on Alex. Turns out, I’m no Kevin Hart. The crowd (aka Alex) was NOT impressed. Back to the drawing board!

    Episode 4: Business Cards & Shameless Self-Promotion

    Since comedy wasn’t working, we printed business cards to promote my channel. We hit the streets, passing them out to strangers, stuffing them in mailboxes, and trying to force the world to notice me. Results? Mixed, to say the least.

    Episode 5: Fireworks, Chaos, and Regret

    Alex decided that almost setting me on fire was the next big idea. I barely survived this one. Do NOT try this at home.

    Episode 6: TikTok Fame & Firework Insanity

    Desperate for more attention, Alex insisted we launch more fireworks—this time for TikTok. Let’s just say it ended in running, screaming, and near disaster. Worth it? Debatable.

    Episode 7: Paying for Subscribers (And Getting Kidnapped?!)

    I got so desperate that I started paying people to subscribe to my channel. Things took a DARK turn when I was suddenly kidnapped. (Yes, for real.)

    Episode 8: The Aftermath & The Next Big Idea

    After escaping (don’t ask how), I realized that fame might not be worth dying for. But I wasn’t giving up yet. My next idea? A viral spicy wing challenge with Alex. Because, apparently, pain equals views.

    Final Thoughts: What Did I Learn?

    After all the madness, one thing is clear: getting famous is NOT easy. It takes strategy, luck, and a bit of insanity. While I may not be viral (yet), this series was proof that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it big.

    Would I do it all again? Probably. Stay tuned for the next wild experiment. Until then, stay positive, stay subscribed, and never stop chasing your dreams!

    How to Sleep in Your Tesla: My Experience

    Hey everyone! Ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in a Tesla? Well, I decided to put my car setup to the test and spend the night in my Tesla to see just how comfortable it really is. Spoiler alert: It’s actually not bad, but there’s definitely some room for improvement.

    The Setup: Making My Tesla a Home

    Since I live in my car full-time, I wanted to create a cozy sleeping setup. The first step was clearing out my backseat and getting rid of anything unnecessary. I had some gym clothes, Amazon packages, and random stuff that needed to go.

    Next, I set up my Tesla bed, which I haven’t used in a while. It took me a second to figure out how to unfold it properly, but once it was in place with a cover and extra layers, it actually looked pretty nice. Who needs an apartment when you’ve got a luxury car bed?

    Sleep Experience: Comfortable or a Struggle?

    I locked the doors, checked my battery (sitting at 168 miles), and got settled in. Since my car charges at about 5 miles per hour, I had to be mindful of how much energy I was using.

    Climate Control Tip: Instead of keeping the AC running all night, I experimented with turning it off and only using the heated seats to stay warm. That way, my back stayed toasty, but I wasn’t wasting too much power.

    I also built a DIY privacy cover for the windows to block out light. I had to get creative because one section wasn’t fully covered, but overall, it worked well.

    The Reality of Sleeping in a Tesla

    To be honest, this lifestyle isn’t for everyone. It might look weird to some people, but I don’t live a normal life—and that’s okay. Since committing to YouTube, I’ve embraced the idea that things won’t be “normal,” and honestly, sleeping in my car was surprisingly comfortable.

    Would I prefer a real bed? Sure. But there’s something satisfying about making this setup work.

    Final Thoughts: Would I Do This Again?

    I’d say this experiment was a success, but I might add some foam padding next time for extra comfort. Sleeping in the Tesla works, but setting up the bed every night can get annoying. If I can find a better system, I’d be all in.

    For now, I’m embracing the journey—whether it’s living out of my car, grinding on YouTube, or just figuring life out. If you’re thinking about car camping in a Tesla, I say go for it. Just be prepared for some trial and error.

    Stay positive, stay hydrated, and keep chasing your dreams!

    The Incredible Science of Edible Flowers (And My Valentine’s Day Basket Fail!)

    Hey everyone! This year, I decided to go all out and make my first-ever Valentine’s Day basket—but with a twist. I may or may not have a significant other… or maybe I did this all for myself. Either way, I put in the effort to make the best (and possibly weirdest) Valentine’s Day basket ever!

    My DIY Valentine’s Day Basket Attempt

    I started with all the essentials: candy, chocolates, Spider-Man decorations (because why not?), and of course, a heartfelt card. But as I put it all together, I quickly realized… I was eating way too much of my own candy. By the time I finished, my basket was looking a little empty. Oops.

    The Unexpected Addition: Edible Flowers (aka Texas Roadhouse Bread)

    I wanted to add flowers to my basket, but real flowers? Too expensive. So I thought, why not edible flowers? But instead of actual edible flowers, I went for something even better—Texas Roadhouse bread with cinnamon butter. I mean, who wouldn’t prefer buttery, golden-brown “flowers” over roses?

    At this point, I fully embraced my “Single on Valentine’s Day” energy. If you can’t spoil someone else, spoil yourself, right?

    Check out the full video to see my attempt at making a basket, my thoughts on edible flowers, and the ultimate realization that I am my own Valentine:

    The Lesson? Enjoy the Journey

    At the end of the day, this was more than just a basket—it was a reminder that life is about enjoying the process. The YouTube grind, the ups and downs, even the mid-20s crisis—it’s all part of the story. You can’t skip the journey because that’s what makes the ending worth it.

    So, if you’re single this Valentine’s Day, treat yourself. Get some Texas Roadhouse bread, enjoy the little things, and stay positive. Maybe next year, I’ll have someone to give a basket to… or maybe I’ll just do this all over again for myself!

    See you in the next one!
