I would love to see a “I spent a day with Anthony Padilla”? Basically you sitting down, interviewing yourself and telling us what you have learnt from this series and all of the different people
@@Nicole-tv7hy Same. Just like skateboarding hit the mainstream, broken clothes did and now apparently also (seemingly) dirty clothes? I really wonder if it is indeed branded clothing
Fingerboarding has helped me through a dark time. I used to be a 100% die hard skateboarder, it was my life, I lived and breathed skating. I had been skating for about 22ish years and I was hit with a bunch of shit all at once, I got this severe deadly lung infection and came within a day of actually dying. Because of the sickness I lost around 70lbs including my muscle mass that I had developed from skateboarding for so long. Once I was out of the hospital and starting to get healthy again I started skating again, pushing around, trying to build my muscles back up. That didn't last long cause about 3 or 4 days into that I completely blew my right knee out. Mcl, pcl, and acl, destroyed. Now I couldn't even walk. It was one of those "career ending" injuries. Well while rehabilitating from that, my other knee blew out... how ironic lol Anyways, I can't skate anymore, like physically can't do it, and it was the saddest thing I've ever experienced. I found fingerboarding, and it has filled some of that empty hole that losing skateboarding, the love of my life caused. I never would've thought something could help like this, but it has.
P Rod had some of those career ending injury but he pushed through. I believe acl, and mcl was some of his major injuries. Anyway.... Glad you found fingerboarding mate.
I love how Anthony treats his guests with respect, even if the subject matter might seem "silly" or weird to outsiders. I have to admit, even I was like "seriously?" when I read the announcement last week-- but seeing it in action and hearing these people talk about it, I get it now. And honestly, it's a harmless passion. If they're having fun, who cares? Life's hard enough without judging someone over something like fingerboarding.
@@MicahangeloYT have you seen his video with non binary people? They kinda talk about it on that video I believe if you want to learn. & there’s tons of trans you tubers out there who document their experiences for education purposes. :)
@@MicahangeloYT thank you for being willing to learn & understand instead of just being hateful. I think a lot of people are rude about things they don’t understand because they feel “dumb” & nobody likes to feel uneducated. That’s what’s amazing about the internet though you can learn probably anything you want on here I think it’s so cool.
Man, mikes smile when he talks about picking up the hobby as a kid and starting his website, is just so infectious. You can honestly tell that all three of them are so excited to talk about the sport. This video was super fun overall.
Seeing people just unapologetically enjoy something they’re passionate about, something that just brings them pure joy no matter what anyone says, will always be so inspiring to me.
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear iri
I would be interested to see 'I spent a day with therapists' including one from your sponsor, but also maybe an NHS therapist and a private American one for comparison. Would be super interesting!
I really got into finger-boarding around 2013. It’s a great community and a great way for skateboarders to continue to “skate” when the weather is bad or during injuries.
Ha same! I'm an amature but I enjoy making backgrounds for figures & dolls. Maybe that would be a good group of people to focus on, tiny world's? I also enjoy people who create & photograph tiny world's, wether it's Lego or that guy who created scenes from those little railway figures with everyday household items, I can't remember his name unfornutly.
My favorite part is the creativity of building absolutly everything from scratch. I love carving out my own boards and the process of painting them and making obstacles and parks and trying out different materials and learning new things from others in the community
I might not understand this as an interest but I'm happy for these folks! They look like they're having fun and that they really like what they're doing.
This is great to see, I’m 31 and got back into fingerboarding at the first of the year. It’s seriously become one of my biggest stress relievers. Glad to see it getting some more mainstream traction.
Dude, I watched Anthony since Smosh started back in the 2000’s and now I find him again creating amazing content among all the trash that people post nowadays. He is really one of UA-cam’s GOAT’s.
It is so awesome to see you people took this to another level. When I was younger I exzactly started out the same; directly hooked to fingeboarding, doing it with a friend, and taking it with me everywhere! I even taped ramps to my bedside, so if I couldn't sleep I would fingerboard from in my cosy bed. I actually stopped doing it trough the years, just because other things took my life over. You really took me back to some beautiful times in my life, and I am going to get a fingerboard again ASAP! big love
I genuinely didn’t know their was an “community” for finger boarding. And that one could be a “pro”. I’m especially surprised by it still being a thing- I would believe it if it was a thing 10+ years ago. Nothing wrong! I welcome it, i’m just surprised 🙈
Hey Anthony. I was wondering if a video like “I spent a day with Muslims” and/or “I spent a day with Hindus” would be a good idea. They're both often very misunderstood, and I think it'd be very educative! You're amazing, hope you have a great day!
absolutely loved this video, longtime fingerboarder since i was a child. i'm in my early twenties now, and although i don't fingerboard as often as i used to, or don't really attend the events anymore (wanna change that soon), i still ALWAYS have a fingerboard lingering around. right now its a flatface g15 splitply with black blackriver trucks and g4 BRR edition wheels. thank you for this anthony, loved the OG smosh videos and your new content
I've been fingerboarding for 10 years and skateboarding for for 15 years. Its a great scene, and really rewarding! Landing a trick on a fingerboard has the same sense of accomplishment i have landing a trick on a skateboard! I've met great people from all over and all walks of life,just cause I have 34 millimeter sheets of wood under my fingers
I agree! Play is so so important. When I was little I wanted to be a trapeze lady. Now as an adult I’ve been using yoga trapeze and aerial silks to reunite with my childhood dreams. It’s so fun, I get lost for hours in ‘play’
Please make a video with penspinners! I am a penspinner, and it's so interesting! The history and the culture is insane! I can also advice a person to talk to - Alex Sukhov (channel Pen Stock)
Am I the only one who gets a blurred part of the video from 5:34 to 5:45 and from 6:06 to 6:08, as well? And then again from 10:03 to 10:13... Everything else works well, so I have no idea what the hell is going on.
My assumption is they filmed the making process, but later decided they didn't want to show it? But then idk why they wouldn't just not put that cut of blurred footage in
What they described as their feelings while they fingerboards, I can relate while doing my Rubik’s cube Really helps my anxiety too, people should value these more 💕
The hispanic dude seems like a really chill person that would be a great friend. You should keep doing interviews with pros at hobbies like these, maybe do an episode with pro cubers? You should definitely interview @Jperm
no fucking way yo, i aint watched smosh in like 8 years but ive been fingerboarding and skating like 8 years. Super cool to see anthony looking at the sport seriously.
Back in High School everybody had those and it's insane how clumsy and not being able to do proper tricks everyone was. It's really not easy and looks so awesome when you see ppl who are skilled.
Man Tech Decks really become a serious sport while I was thinking they were left in the early 2000s, only springing back up in meme culture. These people are very talented lmao
I love how happy this little sport makes them. It genuinely calms them down and can bring them comfort during hard times. I feel inspired to have my own fun, playful, hobby. A lot of things in my life stress me out, including some of my hobbies, and I want to try to be more like these people. They're just having fun with life.
Go for it! No matter what your small fun hobby is people will try to demean it, say it’s a waste of time and you’re just an adult who can’t grow up. Don’t listen to them they’re just stuck in this idea that being an adult can’t be anything else but work, sex, drugs and cynicism.
This is incredible! I had no idea this was a thing. These guys are so so skilled. My husband just told me that these eventually got banned at his school, but they found a way to make their own finger skateboards out of layers of paper, sand paper and other materials to create the wheels etc. Love the creativity!
You could have spent a day with pro artists, musicians, dancers, athletes, gamers even! That’s why this channel has such a special place in my heart❤️ keep doing the thing dude!
I used to fingerboard but I’d like to state that being with mike has to be an honor he’s literally a legend in the community like literal pioneer I just wish the community wasn’t how it is
whats funny is that skateboarding and action sports were all seen as stupid, nonsense, a waste of time. But theses type of artistic sports are, well artistic, and are respected by enough people. legitimacy is determined by the people, we can make anything we want legitimate, and I appreciate the legitimacy of all board sports. It really brings more love and light to these arts.
My favorite part about fingerboarding is the artistic expression it has similar to skateboarding, but easier! You can construct a skatepark out of real wood, metal and concrete for a highly detailed miniature train like experience, or just a bunch of random household objects and office supplies to get that 6th grade nostalgia going. Fingerboards are so much smaller and easier to make that doing fun graphics, colored wood plys, and funky shapes it’s a wonderland of creativity.
Hey anthony, i just wanna tell you about a very niche group of people: speedcubers. We are people who try and solve the rubiks cube as fast as possible (official world record is 3.47 seconds). It may be a fun group to look into interviewing :)
@Zataya Jenkins @Petalmist @Roozyj Hi guys!! Thank you so SO much for the reminder!! 💚💚 I did a lot of stuff today, school, getting vaccinated with the russian vaccine, homework, cleaning, then I got the side effects but now I'm better, so I watched the video and It's a really good one!! I love when Anthony tries people's hobbies/professions to learn how it feels being in their shoes, it's something that really shows how open minded and empathetic he is and also proof how much passion and hardwork people put in their things. Also he got really good people to interview, I think I learnt very healthy lessons out of it. Allowing yourself to play and do stuff you like without thinking if it is a "grown up" thing is something that can bring so much joy!! I experience this drawing, watching cartoons and playing videogames, it's really good for the mind just to disconnect and do something fun. Like I said, this is a really good video and I think a lot of people need to learn to be free and do things cause they like it, not because how much money or things you can make with it. And lastly I think I understand the amazing world of fingerboarding just a little bit more ;)
Fingerboarding is super frustating and hard in the beginning because you never practise the fine and precise motions with your fingers. A lot of people give up trying to Ollie after a minute. Once you get kickflips down everything becomes a lot easier and more enjoyable.
I know you’ll never see this but it’s 4am and I haven’t been able to fall asleep for several days now. Been reminiscing about all the Smosh vids you made and how big of a part they were in my childhood. Just wanted to say thanks for giving me those memories. Hopefully my insomnia fix’s itself.
I would love to see an I spent a day with pro yoyo players episode, like fingerboarding it is a pretty niche community and I do believe it'd be cool to have it on the site, you can interview absolute legends like Gentry Stein, Rei Iwakura, Steve Brown(who invented freehand style), Jensen Kimmitt An Connoly, and many others, There's several styles of play, different companies different shapes, and like fingerboarding it's a tool of expression and it feels awesome to learn. I think if you explore the world of yoyo you'll find some love for it is really cool.
I was friends with a couple who were rocket scientists, sadly after the husband passed away the wife moved to be closer to her daughter, so we aren't in touch as much. They were lovely, kind, funny people, they were a lot weirder than I expected, I had a stereotype of nerdy science people in mind, not reality. I think it would be a great group of people to focus on.
I'm not into fingerboarding now, but I was when I was a kid, and one thing I remember well is that Mike was the shit, he had a youtube channel and a small company that made decks, it truly motivated me to grab a board and start doing tricks. Its incredible to see how far him and the community have come
Still have my wooden fingerboard next to me from when I was 14. Lots of fun was had with this thing. Usually it was used for fidgeting when waiting in videogame lobbys or watching videos.
I NEVER knew this was a real thing. I do remember these back in the days when I was young but I never knew this was still a thing and a PRO Fingerboarders exist. That's awesome! Good for you!
Those two questions at the beginning remind me of those science safety tests in school that are like: One of your classmates broke a beaker. What should you do? A - Call for a teacher B - Eat the glass
I really appreciate the amount of acceptance from not only Anthony but the comment section. I’ve been fingerboarding for a long time. Started with tech decks and have moved onto pro fingerboards within the last couple years. It’s definitely a hobby that a lot of people turn their nose up at and it’s super refreshing to just see acceptance and understanding. Thank you
I wish they interviewed weak fingers! He was an og back in the early fingerboard scene on UA-cam. Great video though I love fingerboarding and I’m so glad it’s getting positive exposure
I love this soooo much! I’ve always fingerboarded but never did take it seriously until quarantine. I finally bought a pro set up. Stoked to see where the sport is going🤙🏽
Anthony, since you're talking about "play" as adults, you should consider talking to LARPers! That's basically a whole hobby and community based on immersion and play
I know this video Is a year old but watching content like this makes me happy I've stayed subbed for all these years. I remember watching you from Smosh when I was In middle and highschool and now that you're all grown up and so am I, It's so cool to see how you're growing as a person with your own channel and Including so much diversity and education about different people and perspectives on your channel. Love your videos man, keep up the amazing work! 🙌🏾💯

Holy shit. This is the best comment

Yes please. Love this
YES PLEASE
Would love that too
But i want that to happen on 6 million milestone
This was amazing!!! I had so much fun, thanks again for having me on the show :)
it was an honor to have you on, legend!
You are awesome mike
I used to fingerboard. You’re a legend!
@@AnthonyPadilla I think I forgot my coconut water there! Dude, awesome job on the intro too with the sound effects THPS style, loved that!
I’m so glad to see you in this video.
I really appreciate that Anthony filmed this episode after spilling a whole cup of coffee on his shirt. Such dedication.
nothing was going to stop me. not even third degree burns on 90% of my torso.
Vitiligo people would be a cool "spend a day with"
@@AnthonyPadilla that’s exactly what I thought I went did he spill coffee?
@@kiwifruitbird7 I thought it was the style of the shirt lol
@@Nicole-tv7hy Same. Just like skateboarding hit the mainstream, broken clothes did and now apparently also (seemingly) dirty clothes? I really wonder if it is indeed branded clothing
Mike Schneider is an actual legend in their community, not just for skill/talent but mainly for his contribution to the craft
He's an og still pushing the limits of fingerboarding
yes, shoutout him he’s a true pioneer
def a rare niche linkup. love 2 see it.

I'm understanding with a ton of stuff. The only thing I have a hard time understanding is trans people and I hope Anthony get them on here.

@@valkyriesommers420 That's true but also you could get false information as well, it's a double edge sword
@@MicahangeloYT yeah you’re right, I think that’s the most annoying. I hate trying to educate myself & then not knowing if the info is true or false.
me: “is this really real?? i could do that in my sleep.”
*5 minutes later: my index finger has a broken fucking ankle.*

dude ever since i was a little kid i loved making tiny environments, making the parks for these skaters would be so fun
I know. I wish i could afford some decent tools and supplies. I want to build something like this so bad.

He must’ve been showing Mike schniders crafting process which Mike does not like to be shown. Must’ve been blurred in late development
Maybe it's for member's only?
They’re just enjoying themselves… all these people look genuinely happy
I love how you give the two options in the beginning in a sincere tone but are really just roasting the haters in advance.
Me at 1:45 🕺 Aww yisss

fingerboarding is our lifestyle
bro like anthony and mike schneider, two of my childhood heroes
“and emotionally stunted adults”
i- i can’t 😂😭💀

I’m confused what are you trying to say he’s BS? And is it rly worth the time and energy to say that anyway
You mad he makes more money then you ever will
Fony Fawk got more subscribers than u
at least fony fawk touches grass
Is this a joke? I don't know what you are trying to get at here.
This kinda makes me wanna pick it back up again, haven’t finger boarded in years. Still have all my blackriver ramps and shit, just no boards.
Definitely bro. I’m 23 and it’s a great passtime when I’m in the house doing chores and bored at work
I need to get a New fingerboard!! This is great
no fucking way yo, i aint watched smosh in like 8 years but ive been fingerboarding and skating like 8 years. Super cool to see anthony looking at the sport seriously.
and he got mike schneider!

Man Tech Decks really become a serious sport while I was thinking they were left in the early 2000s, only springing back up in meme culture. These people are very talented lmao
I wouldn't say it's a serious sport, I guess it's along the same lines as Yo-yoing, juggling or unicycling.
@Ernie Uchiha i think its more like how many people call bandages “band-aids”
If you’re gonna continue with skill toys in this series, I highly suggest Yoyos. I bet Gentry Stein would be down.
@Ernie Uchiha I didn’t say they were the same, they just fall under the skill toy category just like fingerboards.
And rubik’s cube. I mean speedcubing.
@Ernie Uchiha they seem kinda similar to me
Yesssss!
what about kendamas? that would be very interesting to see
I love how kickflips are just as visually satisfying with fingerboards as they are with skateboards
I love how happy this little sport makes them. It genuinely calms them down and can bring them comfort during hard times. I feel inspired to have my own fun, playful, hobby. A lot of things in my life stress me out, including some of my hobbies, and I want to try to be more like these people. They're just having fun with life.
Go for it! No matter what your small fun hobby is people will try to demean it, say it’s a waste of time and you’re just an adult who can’t grow up. Don’t listen to them they’re just stuck in this idea that being an adult can’t be anything else but work, sex, drugs and cynicism.
This is incredible! I had no idea this was a thing. These guys are so so skilled. My husband just told me that these eventually got banned at his school, but they found a way to make their own finger skateboards out of layers of paper, sand paper and other materials to create the wheels etc. Love the creativity!
Someone is gonna break that kickflip record in like 2 days with something crazy like 45+ I just know it.
You could have spent a day with pro artists, musicians, dancers, athletes, gamers even!
That’s why this channel has such a special place in my heart❤️ keep doing the thing dude!
I used to fingerboard but I’d like to state that being with mike has to be an honor he’s literally a legend in the community like literal pioneer I just wish the community wasn’t how it is
Watching them all do their tricks in the beginning brought me so much joy
This is the coolest and uncoolest job I’ve ever seen
You should do “spending a day with maladaptive daydreamers”
FRRR
!!!!
Yes!!!! I would love to hear other people's experiences
agreed
I’m just waiting for “spending the day with serial killers” at this point
Lol just an interview with Edmund kemper or Gary ridgeway
theres a large gap between interviewing people with hobbies to interviewing a menace to society
@@ayyyayay they aren’t menaces they are murderers
whats funny is that skateboarding and action sports were all seen as stupid, nonsense, a waste of time. But theses type of artistic sports are, well artistic, and are respected by enough people. legitimacy is determined by the people, we can make anything we want legitimate, and I appreciate the legitimacy of all board sports. It really brings more love and light to these arts.
My favorite part about fingerboarding is the artistic expression it has similar to skateboarding, but easier! You can construct a skatepark out of real wood, metal and concrete for a highly detailed miniature train like experience, or just a bunch of random household objects and office supplies to get that 6th grade nostalgia going. Fingerboards are so much smaller and easier to make that doing fun graphics, colored wood plys, and funky shapes it’s a wonderland of creativity.
Hey anthony, i just wanna tell you about a very niche group of people: speedcubers. We are people who try and solve the rubiks cube as fast as possible (official world record is 3.47 seconds). It may be a fun group to look into interviewing :)
I have school now but I WILL WATCH THIS LATER, seems very interesting, thank you Anthony for always making very interesting and diverse content
Reminder for you to watch this :)
Another reminder for you to watch this :)
Have you watched yet? :)
@Zataya Jenkins @Petalmist @Roozyj
Hi guys!! Thank you so SO much for the reminder!! 💚💚
I did a lot of stuff today, school, getting vaccinated with the russian vaccine, homework, cleaning, then I got the side effects but now I'm better, so I watched the video and It's a really good one!!
I love when Anthony tries people's hobbies/professions to learn how it feels being in their shoes, it's something that really shows how open minded and empathetic he is and also proof how much passion and hardwork people put in their things.
Also he got really good people to interview, I think I learnt very healthy lessons out of it. Allowing yourself to play and do stuff you like without thinking if it is a "grown up" thing is something that can bring so much joy!! I experience this drawing, watching cartoons and playing videogames, it's really good for the mind just to disconnect and do something fun.
Like I said, this is a really good video and I think a lot of people need to learn to be free and do things cause they like it, not because how much money or things you can make with it. And lastly I think I understand the amazing world of fingerboarding just a little bit more ;)
Still remember those og finger board tech decks days ❤️❤️😘😘
The noise annoyed my parent so much…haha memories.
Fingerboarding is super frustating and hard in the beginning because you never practise the fine and precise motions with your fingers. A lot of people give up trying to Ollie after a minute. Once you get kickflips down everything becomes a lot easier and more enjoyable.
I am mad at UA-cam for not recomending me this.
Love that Mike is pretty much the fingerboarding Tony Hawk lmao
I know you’ll never see this but it’s 4am and I haven’t been able to fall asleep for several days now. Been reminiscing about all the Smosh vids you made and how big of a part they were in my childhood. Just wanted to say thanks for giving me those memories. Hopefully my insomnia fix’s itself.
I've been suffering with insomnia too the past few days. Hope you doing better, its hell
i thought this was a joke but this is so cute idk i love these people i didn't know this was a thing
I agree with Nurse...it is very calming, relaxing and you just focus on fingerboarding. Nothing else matter! Relaxes my brain.
I would love to see an I spent a day with pro yoyo players episode, like fingerboarding it is a pretty niche community and I do believe it'd be cool to have it on the site, you can interview absolute legends like Gentry Stein, Rei Iwakura, Steve Brown(who invented freehand style), Jensen Kimmitt An Connoly, and many others, There's several styles of play, different companies different shapes, and like fingerboarding it's a tool of expression and it feels awesome to learn. I think if you explore the world of yoyo you'll find some love for it is really cool.
NO WAY I'VE NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D MADE ONE OF THESE
You should have an interview with literal rocket scientists or someone from NASA, if you haven't already. Could be fun
I second this 👌🏻
I imagine it'd be a little hard to get in touch with them
I was friends with a couple who were rocket scientists, sadly after the husband passed away the wife moved to be closer to her daughter, so we aren't in touch as much. They were lovely, kind, funny people, they were a lot weirder than I expected, I had a stereotype of nerdy science people in mind, not reality. I think it would be a great group of people to focus on.
@@an3stn196 Why? They are just regular people.
I Spend A Day With My Best Friend, and it's just Anthony and Ian having a conversation at a diner/bar catching up lol
Woah, this was an amazing video ! Stoked to see more light shine on fingerboarding !
I'm not into fingerboarding now, but I was when I was a kid, and one thing I remember well is that Mike was the shit, he had a youtube channel and a small company that made decks, it truly motivated me to grab a board and start doing tricks. Its incredible to see how far him and the community have come
Still have my wooden fingerboard next to me from when I was 14. Lots of fun was had with this thing. Usually it was used for fidgeting when waiting in videogame lobbys or watching videos.
Hi
Give me back my soul, checkmark
Goodbye
The way I was kickin my little legs off the side of my bed while Nash was attempting the record!! Was not expecting that today hahaha
I NEVER knew this was a real thing. I do remember these back in the days when I was young but I never knew this was still a thing and a PRO Fingerboarders exist. That's awesome! Good for you!
“I spent a day with small content creators” would be an interesting one! Questions such as what made you start, what pushes you to carry on etc etc
You are amazing Anthony !!!
I love your work,
Have a good day :)
Pakyu
Those two questions at the beginning remind me of those science safety tests in school that are like:
One of your classmates broke a beaker. What should you do?
A - Call for a teacher
B - Eat the glass
This is one of my favorite videos in the interview series for sure! It was so colorful and entertaining! These people are soooo cool. 😎
4:28 Mike looks so stoked for him it's super wholesome
I really appreciate the amount of acceptance from not only Anthony but the comment section. I’ve been fingerboarding for a long time. Started with tech decks and have moved onto pro fingerboards within the last couple years. It’s definitely a hobby that a lot of people turn their nose up at and it’s super refreshing to just see acceptance and understanding. Thank you
Amen
you're enjoying yourself, don't let some miserable git on the internet tell you you're having fun wrong. Fingerboarding is cool!
I really thought this would be not of interest to me but your interview style made me watch till the end. Thanks again Anthony!
We need an EMT/paramedic one. They’re not appreciated enough
*At this point this guy literally spent a day with everyone!*
I lover fingerboarding its so goofy but looks so cool at the same time
Used to watch both smosh and mike when I was a kid, crazy to see both worlds collide more than a decade later
YOO finally fingerboarders getting the attention they deserve
Fr fr
Lol not everyone can do things with their fingers lol
You should do I spent a day with freerunners
Bruh these people are so talented they literally have more skill in two of their fingers than I do in my whole body
ya, with that kinda attitude lol
Yo!! One of the smoosh boys!! What a trip down memory lane...
I wish they interviewed weak fingers! He was an og back in the early fingerboard scene on UA-cam. Great video though I love fingerboarding and I’m so glad it’s getting positive exposure
I love this soooo much! I’ve always fingerboarded but never did take it seriously until quarantine. I finally bought a pro set up. Stoked to see where the sport is going🤙🏽
Anthony, since you're talking about "play" as adults, you should consider talking to LARPers! That's basically a whole hobby and community based on immersion and play
I’d love to see a behind the scenes of these videos
I know this video Is a year old but watching content like this makes me happy I've stayed subbed for all these years. I remember watching you from Smosh when I was In middle and highschool and now that you're all grown up and so am I, It's so cool to see how you're growing as a person with your own channel and Including so much diversity and education about different people and perspectives on your channel. Love your videos man, keep up the amazing work! 🙌🏾💯
Holy shit I suggested this such long time ago and now he finally did it. Nice to see it man.
