Mr. JJ McCullough is a good friend of mine who I met around a year ago now. He primarily makes videos on countries, cultures, and Canada! Not exactly the same niche as me, but we are both creators nonetheless!
He was nice enough to offer to have me and tour his vancouver apartment for this series! And I think this has been a great addition.
Whose Vancouver apartment should we tour next? 🤔

JJ’s apartment is nothing like I expected… and yet also exactly like I expected? Not sure how that’s possible but it suits him perfectly.

@esprit15d 2 жыл бұрын

One of his friends did a tiktok video of his apartment a few months ago. That's when I first found out about the ball 🤣

@JJSogaard 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I expected a bigger apartment, but this makes perfect sense somehow...

@Weissenschenkel Жыл бұрын

I'd say "it surprises you because it fits his personality very well." The only thing that surprised me is how silent and echo-free the studio is. i was thinking it was just a repurposed bedroom as a recording studio with foam everywhere, inside a regular apartment.

@mmurray1983 2 жыл бұрын

The fact that JJ’s been sitting on an exercise ball this whole time explains so much of the bouncing around in his delivery. Also, the 13 star flag is hung backwards. The union is always in the upper left.

The more I watch and know about JJ, the more I realize how much more we have in common; value wise, especially, more than I ever thought before. Not sure what it was, but my respect for JJ has only grown by great amounts in the last few years and seeing this side is quite subtly revealing of that.

@ganapatikamesh 2 жыл бұрын

One of my grandparents when I was a kid defended my “messy” room (which basically looks a lot like his apartment in that it wasn’t messy per se, it just had a lot of books, collectibles, and photos/posters/flags/etc on the wall) to my parents by telling them that it’s a smart person thing. Not sure if that’s true and my parents still get on to me for the way I decorate/arrange my house even now, but it’s nice to know a really smart guy like JJ basically decorates the same way! Oh and from watching this video as someone who also doesn’t enjoy cooking and eats out a lot, watching this gave me an idea of how to relieve my lack of book storage space! Thanks to you for making and sharing this and thanks to JJ for graciously opening his home to be shared! I love his channel and it’s great to see the behind the scenes of where he films a lot of his videos.

@Zizumia 2 жыл бұрын

I'm a big license plate guy and when I saw his plates I gravitated towards them. The Colorado "Pioneer" plate is interesting because it used to be that you had to prove through records that your family was in Colorado during its founding or homesteaded in Colorado before it was a state. This hasn't been a thing for a while but I remember reading a news article several years ago where a guy spent hundreds of dollars digging up records about his family to get one of those "Pioneer" plates only to find out at the DMV that the plates are open to everyone who asks for one now haha

@andypritchard9644 2 жыл бұрын

I honestly thought he lived in a 1 bedroom and always assumed he recorded in his living room. It was a bit of a shock to see the bunk behind his studio setup. Considering it's Vancouver it's not a huge shock that he lives in a studio and it's that expensive. When converted to USD the amount he pays is about 140 dollars more than what I pay for my 2 bedroom, it's a huge difference living there and living where I do in suburban Kentucky.

@Bacopa68 2 жыл бұрын

Compared to comparable places in Houston, he's living cheap. Massively cheap.

@patrickmurphy3179 2 жыл бұрын

Insane! I'm just right across the bridge from Kentucky and my duplex is less than half of what JJ pays a month and it's more than twice the size. Not in the best of shape and it's old but it's cheap. Also it's a ten-minute walk to a very affluent area.

@andypritchard9644 2 жыл бұрын

@@Bacopa68 Ehh, it's probably on par. I found a really upscale apartment complex in Houston with 1 bedrooms available for 1200 dollars. That appeared to be the going rate for a couple other I saw. He's paying 175-200 less for a studio so it's more or less even, not "massively cheap"

More space would always be welcome, but eh, I could still make it work.
