    Hi Azizah,
    Thank you for having Drew as a guest on your stream.
    You provided the pen community the opportunity to be with Drew. To thank him, acknowledge him with respect and dignity, give all of us the chance to simply tell him in real time that he is loved and cared for - in a fun, integrated manner that let us all be present. You opened a door that was shut and sealed by his former company.
    Decency and integrity are rare in our current times and you gave us a reminder that humanity still thrives when we reach out in community and compassion.
    With gratitude I wish you all good things,
    Carol

    W all need more Drew in our lives, I was depressed and then saw this today and now I have the inspiration to watch Ghostbusters. I think drew would be a good motivational coach for us ADHers. Love this live, good work both Drew and Azizah I am now feeling more positive about today. I was once fired from a job and I have never gotten over it, because I was unfairly fired from that job and no one has actually agreed that I was unfairly fired. It was Australia and it was Subway, I was fired because my boss was a born again christian and found out I was part of the LGBT+ community. I was sacked for not wearing my uniform correctly, when I was in full uniform, it was completely 'invented and made up'. I struggle daily with this.
    Ps, Drew we all love you, we will stand by you, I am on team Drew.
    Thanks,
    Chelsea

    Such a wonderful episode! We should see this Azizah & Drew duo more often. The positive goeroes of the pen community. So sad I missed the live (because it was the middle of the night in the Netherlands), but this video made my weekend. Thank you guys. Love you both!

    Love to see Drew. I know I'm not the only one who misses his energy!
    That said, I laughed out loud during the ADHD/coffee conv. Growing up, I thought having coffee before bed was so relaxing and figured my body was just built different. 20 years later, I am learning about ADHD and going...uh.... 😂

    I have to watch this video in spurts as I am loaded with errands today, I had to start it when I saw Drew being interviewed. (Also I am now a subscriber due to this video.). Just the other day, I felt nostalgia for the long and short videos that Drew did. Dang, Drew you are missed for your enthusiasm, energy, knowledge and zaniness. You helped re-ignite my passion for FPs and won me over with your joy of Corgis, mine being Westies. My fingers are crossed that you will land in the FP world again with a UA-cam channel incorporating your quips, your smile and your shirts. Thanks to both of you.

    OMG! It's Drew ! I turn on the computer with coffee cup in hand and There's Drew ! I missed you, man! Where else can you hear such gems of alliteration, such as referring a donut as "a soggy nugget of misery." or "the plop factor of Oreo cookies."? Or, my two favorites, "Gold comes from the earf" and a "Steam-powered Punching Glove."
    I have a Back-Lit, Science fiction, one-sheet movie poster I was going to send you for your frame. I would still like to send it to you if you want it.

    Hi Azizah, Thanks for asking Drew to come on, we all miss him SO much!!!!! Drew should never have any self doubt - he is so relateable because so many of us think we are a little bit like him, (ie have 1 /100th of his great attitude, awesome humour, fascination with all in life), or we really just aspire to it! I'm in my 60s and still aspiring. 😅 I used to have a YT channel and always ended by saying ' be kind to yourself' Its hard to do! Glad Drew is finding ways and allowing himself to go through all the emotions. Great live, if only Australia had a clock that suited any YT Live ever 😂

    I miss me some Drew Brown! “Immaculate cake”… mmmmm 🍰
    Way to adult in childlike ways! Good golly 👽 Halloween happy time.
    Drew didn’t just lose a job, he lost a lifelong friendship.. for me friendship breakups are the worst, because they’re often counterintuitive. I have deep respect for Drew’s willingness and ability to claim his value on this platform, and in the fountain pen community. Keep showing up!
    Aziza, much love to you. I’m impressed that you have turned the insanity and hatred into humor. Yes 🙌🏽 this is so inspiring 🩵💙🩵

    Thanks Azizah all the way from New Zealand for this awesome, wholesome video. It is amazing to see Drew smiling again. I was very concerned for his mental health. Having been through the same situation myself a year ago, and hitting absolute rock bottom. Thanks to crisis mental health services I made it through to the other side, and chose to work in a completely different field to remove myself from the hurt. I am glad Drew is still engaging with our community, and I hear rumours of a new job within the fp world - I cannot wait for the news release in this. Drew is so engaging and open to new influences, ADHD flag...
    Looks like Drew had fun in Tokyo, a real culture shock I am sure.
    As a fellow ADHD person, caffeine at night can actually help settle my racing mind and make me calmer ready for sleep.
    I have seen Drew's son's Halloween costume video on Insta, great work. Loved the changeable attachments, they look fab.
    Really nice video Azizah, I hope to see more.
    May all your inks make a rainbow in your dreams 🌈

    I recently saw an alternate quote for "blood is thicker than water", and it's "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”
    I think it's a great quote for people who have to separate themselves from toxic family members.
    Also, I loved this conversation! There was a wonderful balance between silliness and philosophy.

    Thank you for this open and honest talk, Azizah and Drew! It's like a psychological trip in some really good friends' comoany! Boundaries are hard, but worth setting them. I loved what Azizah said about family installing those buttons, and about the plate.
    Also good to see Drew again! Sorry for what happened to you, Drew, hope you'll find something better!

Drew, I hope I get to see you at pen shows again. You know how to bring joy to people, I want you to not stop experiencing it yourself. Good to see Azizah's energy here. So good to see both of you. And... boundaries are awesome! Best thing I've ever seen written in a bathroom: Stop setting yourself on fire to keep others warm.

I only ever saw their videos when Drew was in the thumbnail, he is such a joy to watch! Now I dearly dearly hope that he will return to youtube again on his own!
