40 Years in ??? Minutes (Part 2 of ?)

[@Regigigas777]

Tim is the type of guy I just wanna sit down and have a nice lunch with and talk about our lives.

[@KmSiDevastate]

I'm really enjoying listening to your story, I like that you don't hold back, you're honest, and you're just a regular Joe talking about his life. I'm really surprised by how quickly you're able to think about old stories to tell, I don't think I could come up with all those stories from my past, haha.

[@andrewjer3527]

Wow Tim's memory is insane! Love just listening to Tim talk for close to an hour about his life.

[@MechaKoops]

I wonder if it comes with age; I'm 19 and I can't remember my childhood to the extent and concision that Tim can.

[@MAXAMILLIONMAN]

tim this is truly something special

[@Tripp426]

I really had no idea how someone's life story could be so interesting to the point where I'm hooked. Definitely looking forward to part 3 and 4...however many parts it takes I'm going to watch them all.

[@PixelmugYT]

Sorry for the long comment, but these two vlogs (so far) have captured the essence of why I've been loving your KZbin presence for seven years now. I just made this channel and NCS/this are the first things I'm making sure are subbed. You're so genuine Tim, and your audience totally understands that compared to other people who do the same thing you do. I started out on NCS but your vlogs are what I really love, just listening to you describe your experiences and finding things I can relate to in them. You provide a unique viewing experience that nobody else on KZbin really does, and I'll always be grateful for those weird, modern moments where it's just me and my monitor late at night, watching your videos. You don't try to impress, you don't put on an overt act, you're just you and that's something that is REALLY valuable on this site, especially today. I am looking forward to more parts of this, more vlogs and LPs in general, and I wish you the best. Thank you for the years of entertainment, really. I wish there was something we could do as viewers that reciprocates that feeling.

[@SpookyBeatsMemphis]

I once had a dream where I was in a go-kart race with Tim.

[@stffaluffagus6128]

These vlogs are so insightful and I love hearing your stories! Thanks for uploading!

[@nights2747]

I don't know why I'm so intrigued by your life but it's really charming to hear you talk about it and there's humor sprinkled all throughout. You're a great story teller and I'm really glad you made these videos. Also 33:18 lmao. those old home movies were awesome to see. Hearing you talk about the girls you liked makes me think about that thing people talk about like if only we knew how close we were to something maybe we would have pushed harder for it. like maybe that girl did want to see you again. you just never know. anyways thanks a lot for the story I can't wait for the next 'volume'.

[@nights2747]

But I mean you shouldn't regret not pushing the envelope because that was your choice at the time and it's ok. everyone in their life has wondered what if. I think you, as you are now is the best form of Timothy Bishop. I don't know that for fact, but it seems that way. you seem happy and content with how things shook out. you may have never been nintendocaprisun for all we know, and never had all your loving fans who really appreciate you. i mean hell, even my life would be different if I never found your videos. arin mentioned it in an episode of grumps a while back. sometimes success is just learning to be ok with where you are, even if it isn't how you thought it might be. just being happy with your world. finding things that make the daily grind worth it and make you smile. that is true success

[@BlakeBlackstone]

There is so much information in these videos that I don't really know what to respond to. So here is a generic one. Nostalgic stuff and it's not even my life. You are pretty good at projecting nostalgia. This reminds me of your older Jealousguy Vlogs. I love it. Not too big of a convention guy myself.

[@taxidoll3]

Yay part 2! I just love the way you see things and tell your stories. Much love, Tim!

[@BreakingNCS]

+zyzzyva Thanks!

[@dh_marcus]

Tim you are my favorite person. And I hate people. You are just so awesome!

[@CaptainLardNar]

I've been rewatching these because they relax me so much. It surprises me how much you remember! I just wish you put these videos in a playlist along with your tape recordings for easy watching.

[@spybloom]

I don't know what it is, but something about these videos is really fun to listen to. I love hearing about stuff related to things in the Fox Valley, too. I've lived there pretty much my while life so I can totally picture stuff you talk about like the downtown mall with the Burger King (now closed, sadly). I'm bummed I'll probably never get meet you now that you're in Ohio, but as long as you're making videos I'll be pretty happy. Can't wait for the third (Fourth? Fifth?) part

[@neo5338]

Tim whoever that Girl is, you have your own separate lives.... And so it wouldn't be weird to just message her one day... It's always nice Hearing from old friends and people you've worked with years ago. I myself have been in that situation and I'm happy to say I'm glad I did 🙂. You rock on Mr. Bishop

[@iceerokking]

Like my friend who goes to Wheaton college, Even though we've separated she still loves hearing from me.

[@Sillyspiral]

I'm so excited for the next part! I love when you tell stories, so hearing an overview of your whole life is really interesting to me!

[@liveFOLK]

I'm loving all these stories Tim. Take as many parts as you need!

[@rockoutloud2006]

I love how I don't even have to have the video on the screen to listen to these! Can't wait for the next one!

[@xazrose4338]

I had a bad day today and Tim you made my Day. Thank you

[@BreakingNCS]

+Xaz Rose The pleasure's all mine!

[@rayjams3165]

It's so great to just listen to your life stories, Tim. I'm loving these vlogs, and it's awesome to see that there'll be more parts! I definitely can't wait for the next one.

[@Silentsenior09]

+Ray Jams Anticipation builds as we wait for the next part.

[@noahmyers5782]

I love these videos, please tell as many stories and details as possible

[@Metalmagic6]

I think it would be awesome if you had a podcast.

[@iceerokking]

It would be called Burning. deodorant with ToiletTellah

[@Metalmagic6]

+Ice Kin Pyris Blitzkrice (Pyro the Medic) 1st episode recorded in the bathroom.

[@Knokalakooh]

its a cool yet crazy feeling seeing you back in 1999, because I may or may not have been born then cause I was born that year. It makes me wonder what my new born self was doing at the time of that recording.

[@lmcd301]

I'm actually kind of glad this is getting split into three or more parts. They're just really great. Anyway, I never really thought about this before, but moving to another part of the United States is the distance equivalent of moving to another country over here, and I can't imagine leaving everybody behind and moving to another country. Seriously, Ireland is so small that I could move to the exact opposite end of the country and it wouldn't even take eight hours for me to get back where I live now.

[@Silentsenior09]

+L McD I never thought of it like that, but I reckon that's a pretty accurate comparison. o:

[@lmcd301]

***** Yeah, the US is pretty massive. It's about the size of Europe.

[@Freyja-Love]

after watching the entire thing, I feel like I am getting to know you Tim. thank you for sharing. I adore you quite a bit. :)

[@peanutbuttercracker1]

In that 1999 tape you showed, you sounded and (from what I could tell from your silhouette) looked pretty similar to this one KZbinr I used to watch called UltraJMan.This series is so amazing and insightful, and it's really made me think about think like whether or not my opinions about myself will change in the next 5, 10, 15 years. Stuff like that. I kinda wanna make my own series like this. I'm only 17 but I certainly would have a lot to talk about.

[@ThePoltergust5000]

Aw man I was gonna try to record an LP today but now I gotta watch this, man! :D

[@vDomMusic]

+ThePoltergust5000 Me too haha!

[@iceerokking]

Me three and I just got up from resting after Tomfawkes's charity stream

[@Just_Mason01]

This is a really good story its fun to kinda just grab a snack and listen

[@ThePoltergust5000]

22:26 FIIII-IIIISH?! FIIIIIIIISH!

[@laurenburgett5826]

Tim please make a playlist of all your favorite/meaningful songs on Spotify or KZbin! I would love to listen to all the songs you talk about in one place.

[@LordCowboyCat]

Did you really pee at 49:53 - 50:06? ahhahaha man you crack me up every time. Great Video!

[@Silentsenior09]

+Anthony Stickney I missed this detail. That's 2 videos of "40 Years in ???..." he's done that on camera. XD

[@ContemptCostanza]

Was looking forward to this Tim!

[@Nsaf_UKR]

geeze thanks you so much, i was asking you on the stream yesterday if you would upload and it happened 🌝😍

[@proh0p71]

These stories are so relatable

[@colossaldonut5190]

OMG YOUNGER TIM SOUNDS SO ADORABLE

[@martinmalec5755]

Where's part 3?! I'm going crazy here!! I might do something crazy, i swear!!

[@darlordvader]

16:10-16:20 Just spit out my drink. Thanks Tim.

[@darlordvader]

You broke up with your girlfriend, moved out, are on the cusp of a great career move, and you're still watchinf this video. You also did a spit take of red stripe beer rewatching this part.

[@Silentsenior09]

Some of those Super Mario 64 parts toward the end of your LP of it, when you were mentioning Pick n Save make a little more sense now. The great disdain you felt for working for that place has a bit more context to the history you had there.

[@Saxcat20]

She's always a women to me is a fantastic Billy Joel song Tim. Love it, teach it every year to my general music kids.

[@SpookySkellyGurl]

I also only got my first job because I had connections (my brother used to work there, and ironically now works there again), and I worked there for a couple years and had a lot of anxiety about whether I could ever get another job on my own if I ever had to. But last September, I actually got offered a better job while I was at my previous job, and I'm much happier knowing that I got that job on my own, especially since I didn't even have to go looking; I was so good they came to me. Also it's full time instead of part time and the pay is a lot better, but the emotional aspect is important too.

[@kimber885]

Been waiting for this video! Can't wait to watch it!

[@colossaldonut5190]

Whenever I hear Rain I always think of the Rain and Candle green text story from 4chan about an incestual love relationship, good memories, but man, how do you remember this stuff!? Only childhood memory I can think of is hugging my 3rd grade teacher when I realised I had her again, and I'm only 16 in 11th grade!

[@myohel0]

Huh, Raine like in Final Fantasy 8? Also, I don't remember hearing about the Raine stories. Definitely sounds like it got really rough in the end, especially with you finding about the lie about the cancer. When you were talking about getting a computer, I realized that around that time, it wasn't all too common for people to have computers in their homes. And speaking of things I don't remember hearing about, I also don't remember hearing about the temporary jobs. The insurance job reminds me of the premise of The Stanley Parable before you control the character. The Kelly story. Reminds me of something that happened last year: I met a girl at a party held at my old place. We talked the entire night. We seemed to have a lot in common, and she seemed to really understand me (or maybe she's just showing off how she studied psychology in college, I dunno). After she had left at like 3 in the morning, my roommate said it'd be *awesome* if we dated. And indeed, that's what I thought too. As someone who had never been in a relationship, and as someone who knew way too many people in relationships, I thought this was my chance to be "normal." After all, we really connected. Top it off with how we and some friends met up for food the next morning/afternoon, and we were sitting together. We exchanged numbers. And for a period of time, we texted each other, but she got too busy with life, as did I. And, well... we met up once, but she made it clear she wasn't interested in a relationship (she said it like "I'm not interested in a relationship because I'm busy," without me asking, just me talking about relationships in general). So, nothing happened. And... we stopped talking. I wonder how she's doing. Well, we stopped talking out of the blue for 10 months now, so that'll be awkward.

[@Dorgengoa2080]

Man we are so alike.. Not in the life we've had but in just.. Personality etc. That thing you said about feeling ''Normal'' I understand that on a deep level.. Because i went through something Similar. Had this friend who i had a Crush on, And whenever i was with her or talked with her, I actually Felt normal. Like a normal human being. Like be able to just be A normal human, Talk about embarrassing stuff, Show hunger and pain, Or smile and laugh. And just feel Relaxed in General. Because i suffer from Social Anxiety, and i have ADHD and Asperger Syndrome. But when i was with her.. I just forgot everything.. I was just a normal Human. Wish i could feel that way again. And then The whole thing about not being able to say anyone's name. I get that, I really do. I can say someones name to another person, But i really dislike saying.. Well, for example.. I don't like Saying ''Hey Mike'' to my brother Michael. I just say ''Hey!'' Or something else like that to get their attention. The whole looking in peoples eyes too..

[@NitroJr96]

A wise man once said, "If you're farting in your cubicle, you're not gonna keep your job, I'll tell you that."

[@highdragon1975]

only tim could get fired for going IN THE BATHROOM

[@Ultralink1001]

The first time I really heard Jumper was at work. I only heard the guitar solo at the end and it was really hard trying to find a song by epic guitar solo. It's a great song. I'm jealous I wish could play guitar.

[@jahweddle7609]

Where for art thou part 3?

[@TheIkranRider]

I believe the release date for Ocarina of Time was November 12th 1998. But yeah the chat room relationships sounded boring...

[@Frodod7]

Just keep on talking i love it :D

[@coyle102]

Hey Tim what was web tv? Like a browser?

[@Anno_AD]

21:17 man, Tim, old you sounded a bit like Chuggaa there

[@jonah9927]

can't wait until part 3!

[@dom6907]

You've won... Fish!

[@kono84]

I can tell you that sitting around a lot makes one parp more. ._. Holding in those toots was pretty much a daily chore for me when I was in school. (My gender was a big factor in my past choice of holding it in rather than letting it rrrrrip.) I'm alright now, thank goodness it was not a more serious issue, in my case at least. :D P.S.I learned the word 'parp' from Tomodachi Life, I think it's cute. :D P.P.S. Sorry if I said something weird, English is not my first language. :T

[@Silentsenior09]

+Konoko I understood ya clear as day, so no worries about English not being your first language. ^^"

[@Regigigas777]

I still talk to a girl I fell in love with in high school on occasion. I never did take any action to start a relationship with her. It really sucks because she eventually told me she used to have a crush on me. So what I'm tellin' everybody here is that you should take chances, take opportunities. They don't come around too often.

[@slumpcat6352]

16:10 0_0

[@Deeptunester]

+Slump Cat Was anticipating this moment in the video when I saw this comment. Was not disappointed.

[@SwordofKings]

love the long vlogs

[@saramations]

49:18 what about chrono trigger? I thought that was the first game you bought with at your first job and you had to wait two weeks to get your second paycheck?

[@BreakingNCS]

+saramations Ahh shoot, I forgot about that part! I should add that to my "notes" (if you can call it that) for next part.

[@namelesssmokemonster]

They have won....fish!!!

[@Yan_Alkovic]

OK, this is gonna sound really crazy, but... I saw this video in my subscription box late at night, went to sleep and then woke up because of Tim's voice talking at the 37-minute mark of the video! The strangest thing is, the video was playing on my phone, and my phone was under my stomach for some reason!

[@Yan_Alkovic]

It's Always the Butler No it was _under_ my stomach, not in it!

[@Silentsenior09]

+Yan Alkovic Sounds like either your phone slid out of your pocket and slid underneath your stomach (assuming you weren't sleeping nude or you were sleeping with pocketed bottoms) or you were doing something with the phone sleepily and somehow your hand holding the phone went near your stomach, and your tossing and turning caused the phone to relocate itself underneath your stomach.

[@Yan_Alkovic]

***** The amazing thing is, it was neither! I left my phone on the table next to my bed to charge, and I'm 100% certain of what I did right before going to bed. The only logical explanation then is that I was in a form of sleepwalk where I tried to watch a video while I was asleep, which is quite unsettling. The fact that my subconscious doesn't realise the fact that one can't watch a video with their eyes closed is certainly worrisome. Also, why do you have pockets in your pyjamas?

[@Silentsenior09]

Yan Alkovic Some pajamas have pockets on them, and some do not. Not sure why some pajamas have pockets, nor am I sure why some pajamas don't. Never gave it much thought. ^^"

[@Yan_Alkovic]

***** Alright, I just ain't never of no such thing, so I was like why don't I ask you 'bout that.

[@SuperCrippledGamer]

Man, that home video of Tim was cringing. Now before you accuse of being rude, Tim would probably agree with me. =P

[@Silentsenior09]

+Crippled Gamer I was chuckling at the whole game show host voice he was doing. X-P

[@thehylianloach9473]

19:00 I feel like you're leaving out the part where you found out that girl was actually a man. That was a hard pause before "an assortment of other things" lol

[@BreakingNCS]

+The Hylian Loach Haha, she could have been for all I know! Well actually maybe not, since we did talk on the phone once.

[@BananaMana69]

Man listening to this it sounded like a lot of girls in your life liked you, but you never took a chance to ask for a number, or contact them, or you did to late.

[@foxwolf92]

does tim have a patreon?

[@fendas123]

18:18 Wait so you technically have been in a relationship?! 19:08 Ohhhh, I forgot about that twist.

[@BollyBibby]

It's a strange feeling, liking a song before it becomes a single. Bad Blood by Taylor Swift was one of them, but after the song blew up I realized how angry and negative it was so I haven't really enjoyed it since then.

[@stculp5209]

Talk about your years at commerce high school

[@Pierreandandre]

Tim, can you do us a favor and please render your videos to a higher bitrate? Because these are way too compressed and is bad quality. I suggest 14,000 kbps.

[@PeteTheChopp]

Is there anyone more enjoyable to listen to than NCS?
