    When Abu said that after being with Neil, he feels evolved and "just so much better in myself", I said, Yes!! because that is how I felt after meeting him at a con. Though it was brief, I walked away feeling like i had just chatted with an old friend bc you immediately feel at ease with him bc of the beautiful, authentic energy he has. 🙂💚

      @surgentstudios next time don't be racists and don't hire racist sweet baby inc fornyour game. Even if i doubt there'll be a next time. Try with a white protagonist, it could work

    Thank you so much, I needed this. I am a writer and lately, I have been struggling with a bad writer's block and imposter syndrome. Your attitude towards storytelling and taking care of oneself is very healthy. In the future, I shall watch this video whenever i don't feel I am good enough.

    I LOVE chats like this, something even a really good interviewer couldn't pull off because they simply cant relate in the same way. You asked questions we wanted to know the answers to as well as ones I wouldnt have even considered! Also love the chemistry between you two, obviously enjoy each others company and are on the same wavelength. LOVELOVELOVE!

    Hey, just writing to let you know this chat was wonderful to listen to. Neil is such an inspiring soul and a wonderful talker and I appreciate you guys letting his mischievous self on the show. Also should let you know that I found out about this through someone reuploading the "you english?" story on tiktok.

    George Bernard Shaw is the writer Neil was quoting! The entire quote is *so* beautiful, and it's, in my opinion, one of the best philosophies for life.
    I also underestimated the power of naps until I had my daughter. Naps are glorious. 😂
