- Point of Clarity: Guidelines state a maximum of 10 people or 50% capacity of the boat whichever is GREATER (The boat capacity was 90 people). Also, I did not see or treat patients until after following all guidelines for safe return.
Thank you for hearing me out. I made a mistake and I apologize. Do not let my lapse in judgment be used to hurt the science behind masks and the other COVID mitigation measures. Here are some links to accurate info from the CDC on the subject. (Update: I've tested negative x3 upon returning and followed all quarantine guidelines as to not put anyone at risk)

This whole apology is patronising to the extreme. Does he think we are stupid?
Suppose he thinks that
Are you blind inside .See his other videos and then you will understand. Don't listen to all people you itself go and see his videos, what are his intensions and then you won't have the same doubt..
@@halliegeary8701 He cited a source stating either 10 people maximum or 50% capacity. His photo have 15 people excluding the camera man and potential crew members. Way more than 10 maximum. His boat better be big enough for some 20+ people to be considered "50% capacity" which I actually doubt but cannot disprove. Regardless the logic behind the 50% capacity is obviously so people can socially distance and minimize crowds in an otherwise confined space. gathering 15 people for a photoshoot defeats the purpose of a 50% capacity rule.
You guys keep on hating, I don't know why. Just listen to yourselves, who do you guys think you are. You could have just ruined someone's mental state, so just go back to your trash 🗑

"I live alone so I'm not at high risk"
Aren't you a family physician my guy?
but he did say he was gonna follow proper quarantine protocols. what i think he meant is that during the self quarantine no one in his house would be infected
@@nobody-ft7vg exactly, he got millions of subscribers and views from those covid videos. smh
@@huzaifaabbasi5743 I mean setting a house on fire then putting the fire out doesn’t make everything fine again.

What about your patients
@@batpoisonz I mean, literally my point. But yeah.
Am I just broke or is it really easy to just not have a party during a pandemic because so far I've managed it.
easiest thing in the world
literally the easiest thing in the world. and i’m saying this as a person who’s not broke.
It's super easy, hardly an inconvenience.
@@chrikke nah don't worry i get what you mean. my friends aren't throwing any big parties but i can see how if you're entire friend group is going you could feel left out. one of my many issues with this guy in particular is the fact he's preached for months to NOT go out to party because he knows how much it can potentially affect front line workers and people and yet he tries to keep his so secret like posting the apology here instead of his main
Yep. I had no birthday party, and I didn't die...
Please post this to your main, you’re a real doctor with real influence and your main viewers deserve to know.
No, he's not. He's a sham and sellout
@@I_AM_3.6.9. calm down and go cry fbi
Ok FBI you know everything
Pretty sure he's too cowardly to own up like that by putting it on his main
@@evilm3274 Yeah apparently so :/
“The reason I’m saying this is because..” You got caught. That’s why you’re saying this.
Exactly.
There wouldnt be an apology if he wasnt "caught" no brainer.
He doesn't feel remorse or slightly guilty I'm quite sure of that. He's quite sneaky too by only uploading an apology vid on his least popular account of all. I went to his FB page where he uploaded new contents and most ppl still didn't have any idea about the incident.
This.
@@frrnkc5977 - meaning he feels bad he was caught, not because he fucked up...
"I live alone- I don't put anyone else at risk" bud youre a DOCTOR
the ignorance is sadly ✨real✨
Doctors who get tested regularly so there was no danger to fellow stoaff or patients
@@afriendlycadian9857 It takes time to get test results and it takes time for a positive test. My mom tested positive dad tested negative, my dad got re-tested that same day and two days later had positive test. That's no excuse.
But in the medical field he is wearing a mask and taking precautions to make sure he’s not transmitting the virus the anyone especially people he is trying to care for. If he had it and was a risk the hospital he works at I’m sure would take precautions to make sure COVID-19 wasn’t spread by him.
Yes. What if he spreads it to the PATIENTs at the hospital
I graduated in quarantine. I celebrated my 21st in quarantine. I started vet school in quarantine. You have no excuse, and this is hardly an apology.
I was born in quarantine had my 10th birthday in quarantine got married in quarantine and 5 kids in quarantine got my first job in quarantine the sadly died in quarantine
that was your choice, you didn't have to lol
Good on you. But what are you teaching veterans?
Um, judgmental much? Sorry other people have lives and you can't control them. It was a fine apology.
I spent 3 weeks alone in a hole in quarantine. It sucked
I wish he posted this on his main. This would have been a much better apology if he was willing to get hit by all the backlash.
If you were in his shoes you would do the same thing! Double standards!
@@maddiea.5196 how do you know that
@@maddiea.5196 There's like 7 billion people on this planet honey. No, not everybody would do the same. Some people are less pathetic than others :) And there's a LOT of youtubers with apology video's who didn't post it on their second channel, so that already proves you wrong.
Dude, was there really a purpose in saying that, lol. That was completely unnecessary and very irresponsible. We all mess up from time to time, and believe it or not, so do you.
@@maddiea.5196 you know I think most people would avoid party’s during a pandemic
It's like the old saying: I'm not mad... I'm just disappointed.
same but I guess everyone deserves a second chance but I'm still so desepointed. I don't know what to do :(
@@ItsMeMiana he was a doctor that chose to be selfish. He knew that it was wrong. I wont be following anymore because he thinks it was not a mistake to go to Miami but it was a mistake he got caught.
He followed guidelines, but didn't think about the impact. Dr. Mike didn't believe he did anything wrong at first. There wouldn't have been any impact if people didn't see it. Once he was told he was wrong, he then realized his mistakes. That's what we are here for. To support him even through his mistakes!
@@ItsMeMiana I agree with you 100%. I'm disappointed in Dr. Mike's decision, but we all make mistakes. He followed guideline, but didn't consider the true impact that would have on people. If he does it again, he has no excuse. But I believe he has more good than bad! We shouldn't look at his one mistake, but look at the many ways he's positively impacted our lives!
@@hannahlatham9208 I completely agree with you. The problem wasn’t the party, it was how it would look like to us.
“Attack me, don’t attack the science” - deletes comments criticising and attacking him on his main channel
It seems as if he's even putting science under the bus. 😂
OMG he is doing that! I thought I was just seeing things but you see it too. Wow.
Kinda like a narcissist behaves, isn't it? Sad. What is sadder is people listen to his cognitive dissonance.
LMAO true
@@kammy6340 So that’s why there are only nice comments! What a spineless, spoiled brat..
Doctor Mike how can anyone believe you are sincere in your apology when you A) Manipulate the CDC guidelines to your benefit (Water activity includes actually being the water ie. Swimming. Not being on a yacht with 20 other people) and B) hide this video from your hugely influential main channel? This tells me that your bottom line is more important than the safety of your audience. Thats very sad and disappointing coming from an ex-fan.
the yacht capacity was 90 with regulations it's 45. He listened to the regulations, gets tested and went into quarantine...
@@gijanine3701 he didn't go into quarantine, he went to work immediately, just got tested. We all know that the virus has an incubation period, hence the need to quarantine, which he didn't. His tests could have been positive a few days later. He meets freaking patients!
@@mirikira8632 Acting like you know better than a medical professional isn’t going to help your case. I trust the someone who went to medical school for several years can judge what is safe and what isn’t. Just because you read on some Facebook article that Covid has an incubation period if a general physician judges it’s ok to go back to work I trust that.
@@demonshade4120 I didn't act like I know better, I acted on what he said and what the CDC guidelines ( fhe ones he didn't respect) said.
actually "Tito Lounge" he didn't manipulate anything to his benefit. He probably just misinterpreted the (mind you) guidelines (not strict regulation). Which are NOT at all mandatory, but should be followed.
are we just gonna ignore the fact that his friend got him a private boat for his birthday, like i was thrilled when my friend bought me those giant 1 lb reese’s peanut butter cups, i really need to raise my expectations jeez.
lmao 😂 ikr my friends & i make a huge video for each other’s birthdays but like, that’s it 😭 still grateful to have those idiots though, love them so much
Did they buy it or rent it?? 🤔 either way, we need to raise the bar 😅
He lives in New York, what’s are we thinking
Wait...1 lb reese's?????
this is the perfect comment that I needed 🤣
Doc, you were meant to take the *HIPPOCRATIC Oath,* not the *Hypocritical* one.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

💀💀💀💀
He must have gotten confused. 😂😂
This comment made my day, sir.
Haha good one. Lol you’re awesome. Also very cool profile picture.
the fact that he acts like nothing is wrong on his main channel is truly heartbreaking…
I hope he does the right thing and post a new vid addressing this on his main channel... He's a doctor, he obviously knows this is not ok
It’s time to face it.
He won’t do anything else regarding his transgressions. Fake apology is good enough for him.
He cares only about views, popularity, having his ego fed and making money off of unsuspecting sheep.
He’s the typical youtuber.
@@purplesaori i really thought mike wasn't like that 🥺 breaks my heart to see he's just like all the other youtubers
@@yeah523 A lot of people thought the same thing, and got disappointed after finding out about his escapade and non remorseful apology issued after getting caught.

@@MiaSabathy ❤️❤️❤️
Props to you for burying this so well, I had to find out from D'angelo Wallace about this (thank you D'angelo 🙏). I think your subscribers on your main channel might have liked to know about this dude. And I've seen my fair share of youtuber apologies, yours is not good, by any means. You are a doctor, a role model for people, and you spread one message only to go against it and endanger others. And then you go and hide it. You were going to receive backlash on it, so why hide it?
Dr. Mike stated he was very cautious at first, which proves that he does care about the pandemic. He just wanted to go out and have fun, Dr. Mike even did alot of research. He was under alot of pressure because he wanted to use his birthday present.
Dr. Mike said that he needed to do better, he said to attack him instead of the science.
Another thing is that people are attacking him for not posting this on his main channel, first of all, put yourself in his shoes. Wouldn't you be to embarrassed and ashamed of yourself if you did something like this? All of you are attacking him for not posting this on his main channel but I'm pretty sure 90% of you would not have either. You all are holding him up to double standards just because he's a doctor, doctors are humans to. Dr. Mike said he was sorry, he said that he loved all of us. Yes, what he was wrong but cut him some slack. This was only a one time thing and everyone is attacking him, over ONE situation.
Edit : Dr. Mike isn't perfect, just like all of you aren't. We all have did stupid things, but when a famous doctor does something stupid it's all over the internet. I get why everyone is upset but having this much hate in the comment section could really bring someone down, he didn't disable the comment section so Is he really a coward? The only reason why you are all mad at him is because he is a famous doctor, if he was a regular person you all would have brushed it off. Double standards I tell you- Anyways, I just don't think that calling him names and being hateful towards him is going to really fix the problem or make anything better, the only thing you all are truly doing is making him depressed most likely. Dr. Mike was trying to explain himself, but in return he got backlash JUST because he's famous and because he's a doctor. Sometimes choices are mistakes, not every mistake has to be by accident guys..
@@user-su4eq6xt3b the thing is HE IS A DOCTOR AND IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD COVID IS and then he just goes in a fricking boat trip like(???). He should have posted this on his main channel if he really is sorry. I believe he isn’t sorry he did it but that he got caught. So many people had to skip celebrating their birthdays, holidays and being with family and friends just so people like him can go out and party. It doesn’t matter if he took all precautions and supposedly isn’t putting anyone at risk, he is still gathering people in a middle of a pandemic.
Bruh guys everyone kiks sometimes think about klinton and his aferras ... Just get over it ...
@@catarinarodrigues3584 again just like littel kitten said, double standards. A lot of people went out on a boat trip, road trip and even still travel in the middle of a pandemic but because he is a famous doctor everyone is attacking him.
Yes he is being hypocritical by telling everyone to stay at home while he went out on a boat trip, but that is ONE time, and he followed the safety precautions and was cautious about it. And i understand that a lot of people can't leave their homes or see their family members in this pandemic, myself included, and i know that it's hard. But staying inside for a whole year not seeing anybody and not talking to anybody can mess you up pretty bad, and i bet that in the last year you yourself have gone out with friends even if it was for a short time
@@pentolgajah1139 going outside with precautions is not the problem here, the problem is that in so many of his covid videos he says not to go out, to stay inside and quarantine as much as you can, and then he goes and pulls this. it makes it seem like he was saying those things to look good instead of out of actual concern for the public's health.
Don't be shy, post this on your main chanel if you want a real response
He doesn't want to ..because he is a lying coward
He won’t, he’s a coward and a liar
He shared it on his main channel, that’s how I found the video
He put the link to this on his community tab
This video has the same views as an average video on his main channel and it hasn’t been up long
This came across as incredibly insincere.
Basically to summarize "I'm sorry I got caught"
At least he didn’t pull out the fake crying technique
@@idontexist506 His image as a masculine doctor in a field filled with "nerds" then will be shattered. That's like literally his selling point "Im smart, buffy and entertaining, love me, never hate me,"
Yeah that's pretty much all youtubers who get caught doing whatever they feel like
@Amina Shah they dont understand his pain, thats why they are being rude
Wow I just found out about this today and can't even say how disappointed I am. And why isn't this on your main channel?? As others have said, it seems to diminish the sincerity of your apology.
Dude, was there really a purpose in saying that, lol. That was completely unnecessary and very irresponsible. Come on man, we all make mistakes, even you.
@@lillylowe4722 how is this comment unnecessary and irresponsible??
@@lillylowe4722 Ah yes, because CHOOSING to go against your own orders is a "mistake".
No, YOU were a mistake kid.
@@lillylowe4722 he is a doctor.
@@lillylowe4722 agreed.
Doctor Mike, frankly this "apology" is the nail in the coffin in losing my respect, but in an effort to match you with your logic id like to explain
>It took you 2 minutes of your 5 minute apology to actually apologize
>You spend those 2 minutes trying to justify your actions, which undermines your apology
>Your apology lasts 10 seconds (revisited for 20 seconds at the 4 min mark)
>You put in your video the rules as if to show us that you were following them. Again, you reinforce the idea you did nothing wrong, which you did by your own admission at 1:55
>One of the rules you list states a limit of 10 people on the boat, where the picture that was leaked has more then 10 people
>You posted to a side channel where only the people looking for it will fond the apology
>You focus a lot on assessing individual risks involved. Are you saying thats what everyone should do? Or are you implying you can do that assessment alone because... You're better then the average person?
>You imply your personal risk, but its not all about YOUR risk. You could become a carrier in that time, and spread the virus to others. Even if you are fine others could be affected by your actions.
>3:24 "while I may be following guidelines..." the point of this video was that you weren't following guidelines. You admitted as much at 1:55 when you said you "messed up"
>3:42 "[I'm apologizing to] you who have supported me on this channel." The subset of those from your main channel. When you do this what your action is saying is you want to be able to point to an apology, but limit the exposure of your mistake. Protecting your inage by hiding your apology does not bolster your sincerity
>4:28 "I'm going to continue to be transparent" but you are hising yoir apology. Thats not transparency. Obscuring your apology with false justifications at the beginning is not transparency.
If this apology was sincere Mike then I'm sorry but you are not effectively conveying it, and it makes it sound disingenuine. Your words speak a story but your actions have spoken louder, both through the actions you took in Miami and your actions through this apology.
Due to this, I cannot accept your apology. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and maybe after a while my opinion will calm, but for now, I can't continue to support you and your channel.
if thats your effort to match logic, your logic seems seriously flawed
@@elias6570 i dont think your comment made any sense either
Tldr;
He was following the CDC guidelines he didn't do anything wrong with assisting the event
The mistake that was made was allowing for the pic to be posted online which would spread the wrong message to his followers due to lack of context ala "well this doctor is having a blast without a mask, guess covid ain't shit after all"

Dude u were on a crowded boat partying hard after telling everyone to be safe stay home wear a mask. Thats the definition of a hypocrite.
Although he was wrong for doing that, I don’t think it’s good to kick a man when he’s down... he knows that what he did was wrong and there’s no need to hate on him for messing up.
@@notdav2926 He knew the consequences of his actions and still did it.
@@karma4033 just make sure YOU follow the rules.
I mean almost every UA-camr / Influencers / Tik tok personalities / actor / model etc etc have done way worse than that (big parties with 100+ people, travelling all around the country, hugging people, never wearing masks...) and haven’t received that much hate... even « regular » persons, I’m pretty sure most of them have been hanging out with friends and families since may... So it’s hypocritical of us to hate them if we did some stuff as well...
Guys everyone is human. The things he does will ultimately be reviewed by millions of people that watch him and see him as a role model but that doesn't mean he should have to experience millions of comments about him just trying to enjoy and live his life. Mike had researched about what was allowed and the risks that would be a possible consequence after such an event. I personally think that his actions arent as terrible as everyone is saying it is. I know I've seen lots of UA-camrs that have ignored lots of rules about the pandemic, havnt researched and don't take any precautions. We're all human. I know I havnt always kept up with all the strict rules in my area. I think him doing this one event was a small sacrifice for improving his mental health when he's on the front lines of researching this depressing topic for us so we don't necessarily have to. Everyone needs a little bit of fun release during this hard time. If we decide to deny this to everyone that may need it then there's going to be even more suicides than what there already has been. Continuing to kick Mike when he's down isn't necessary.

Guess what? He’s not perfect. He makes mistakes.
@@krystaloftheshores literally what i said
@@hollyborradaile2670 Okay let me rephrase that. Guess what? He’s not perfect. He makes mistakes. Yes he’s a doctor, but doctors are people, too. Just because he’s big on a platform doesn’t mean we have to hold him to the high expectation of keeping a perfect reputation. Everyone makes some major mistake at least ONCE in their life, whether it be harmful to them or others. Dr. Mike did, he completely regretted it, apologized, and is actively working to do better and avoid making the same mistake again in the future.
Are we really going to question how passionate and genuine of a guy he is just because he screwed up once? Yes, he could’ve been exposed to COVID, yes, he could’ve gotten other people sick, but you can’t tell me that you’ve done something potentially harmful to yourself or others that you deeply regret and wish it didn’t happen.
Let people learn from their mistakes, let them grow and do better without questioning whether or not they’re truly passionate and genuine about what they practice and preach.
So you all are expecting him to be a perfect man like seriously...
You’re literally a doctor. Do you not understand how irresponsible that is of you? You of all people should know how badly Covid-19 has affected people and taken away the lives of hundreds and thousands of peoples loved ones, and you STILL decided to go out. This was definitely not a mistake. Adding onto that, you posted an apology on your second channel in hopes of only a smaller portion of your fans seeing it.
That's because he doesn't care... He's not a Dr because the cares about people... I can see his ego all the way from England.
He is human first, not doctor. And idk if u know, but humans make mistakes, really stupid ones sometimes, so u do get to judge him like that

@Tone Loc it’s not harmless to young people, there’s still risk of death
@@williamlavender8431 I was wrong but it was my friends fault for arranging the boat and I weighed out the risks and I followed the guidelines (which is clearly a lie based on the photos) but sorry I did a bad thing doesn’t seem very genuine
I just found out about this story. And I'm kinda dissapointed to be honest!
A) Your friends know you almost the best I think (it works like that in general). If they know how important is this for you, they wouldn't make a party like that, because they respect your opinion. They wouldn't make a party which goes into the trash instantly, because you turn it down. They knew you would agree. Also, you were in the apartment. They called you or I don't know like "hey Mike, meet us here please". You went there and had a swimming suit in your pocket randomly just in case you need it? 🤔 So all of these things are so messy and unlogical for me.
B) Yes, you are young. But at the same time you are a grown up man, a doctor and a person who choosed to be in the spotlight by being famous through social media. Yes, people will see the mistakes you make and yes, they will use you (some people tend to use others even when they aren't famous at all). You are a grown up man, so I just literally can't see why is it worth it to have a party on a yacht with poorly dressed girls, while you knew it could cause a huge problem for you in the future. Is it really worth it? A grown up man should know about the "intelligent risk taking". You didn't made a mistake, you took a risk just to have fun for 1 day. And as a doctor you should perfectly know about all the risks you took. You have all the background informations about the virus, so I just couldn't even say that you weren't aware of all of those facts.
C) I just found it super morbid and unethical that you even saw people suffer because of the virus. Maybe you even saw someone die after a long suffer. You saw people getting depressed because of the carantine. But after seeing all of those things you still decided to have fun. While maybe some people hearing out your advices, they are staying at home, they are getting depressed, they are skipping important family events, while you, who gave the advice, having a party on a boat. You saw people suffer after catching this virus, because it's spreading faster than other viruses in general (but again, I don't need to tell you about how this virus works, because you know it), and you still took the risk. One of the people who was there might spread the virus to someone who has a worse immune system than you for example. Because you only said that you made the carantine, but what about the others?
And just to tell you my "case" as an example. 2 months ago I had huge pain and fever. Like I couldn't even move. I asked my doctor (I called him on phone) to ask for advice/medicine/any kind of help, but he refused. He said because of the virus he doesn't want me to go there with fever and he don't want to help me through phone. He said I need a negative covid test. In that time getting the results of the test took like 1,5 week. Next day my fever went down, I still had pain. Because of that the hospital refused to send me on testing. But the doctor still refused to treat me, because I had fever.
I'm still having problems, but since I wasn't treated on time, they just don't know what to do with me, how to treat me.
So yeah, it would be kinda nice to "end" this virus as fast as possible, because I don't think that I'm the only person who didn't get a proper treatment because of the virus.
Don't take it as a "mean comment". I will probably still watch you, because some things you do here (I mean, on your main channel) is truly important. Take it as a "mirror", think about it and be more careful.
well said
very well said.
Really? Cancel culture? That's what you have to offer? You can do better than that. Nobody is perfect, and he wasn't even in the wrong, let him live his life as he sees fit. He went about it in a super cautious way and was very responsible, and even APOLOGIZED for how his message may have been misinterpreted! This video isn't even necessary, he is right to be living his own life.
@@cargoshorts731 Think again, go to school, question your life decision and come back to me when you realize that a widely recognizable public medical figure exercising little concern for those around him during a world wide pandemic sets a really bad precedent.

Wait it says maximum “10 people on the boat” however in the photo there are 15 people (those who you can visibly see) God knows how many other people were there as well. Make it make sense Doctor.

I learned a long time ago that when you apologize you just say sorry. Adding excuses and buts just takes away from the actual apology. This past year I've met so many medical staff due to a severe illness... had I met you knowing you did this I would be hurt and lose all trust in you. You are a leader in our community, as am I. We have to uphold higher standards.
He might be a leader but you can't have double standards on one individual and not the other
L comment
So you don’t ever make mistakes?
I know this comment is from a year ago but Dude that’s a huge double standard and overreaction
Yeah that makes no sense… how would you be able to tell someone is sincere if they don’t explain?
“I’m young, I’m healthy”. Make sure you tell your elderly and vulnerable patients that you don’t care about them.
Good that you didn't hear the part the upon his return to New York he self-isolated and get tested, way to be ignorant
@@markth078 I don't trust anything he says, more than half that video was straight up lies. *Or are you dumb enough to think 15 hoes on a boat is less than 8 people*, like the guidelines he highlighted? Dude definitely went to Miami to get lit, not to visit his dad who lives in NY. I doubt the boats n hoes were even a surprise
@@markth078 it's better being ignorant than hypocrit
@@markth078 You know that he supposedly, upon arrival in Miami, have to self-isolate too right? Of course he didn't do that one and jist straigh going to his father's house and then partied, all within what? 7 days timeframe?
At best, he didn't self-isolate in Miami, spent some time with thots, and then went back to NY quarantining for 14 days.
He's a doctor. He left his post way too long as a doctor. There are doctors that haven't touch their family since the beginning of pandemic.
@@user-jz2bm4wz1g Innocent until proven guilty my dude. Like imagine if this was a court case and the judge just straight up says "I don't fucking trust anything he says so despite us being able to refute him he is guilty". You are attacking him for something you can't prove happened
My grandma died in early October and we made the difficult decision not to have a funeral even though it would have only been about 10 of us, and yet you -a DOCTOR- made the DECISION to attend a boat party. Great job. Can’t support.
My sincerest apologies for your loss
I’m sorry for your loss, my family went through the exact same situation with our grandma. It kills me that Dr Mike would do this.
Thank you both for the condolences, I appreciate it.
That’s so sad. Best wishes to you and your family.
I can't imagine your hurt and anger at this situation and the hurt when you had to take that decision, I hope you and your family have recovered from that tragic event :( Hope she rests in peace and 💖
wow this really wasnt trending even though it has over a million views, weird. first time hearing of this. crazy how many people do have such a hard stance on this, interesting. eh people make mistakes, just dont redo the same mistakes again and again.
Look. I can understand even you gave in to choosing having a party over your own advice. Covid is rough. But a mistake was made, so own up to it. Uploading to your 2nd channel and this half-hearted apology just shows that you are just trying to minimise and avoid this. "Be transparent and honest"? Upload it to your main channel and embrace your mistake then.
Very, very... disappointed. You were seriously the last person on Earth I would imagine doing this. Sincerely, a saddened fan.
I have a lot of respect for you, but posting this apology on a channel with approximately 1% the subscribers of your main channel is embarrassing. Post this on your main channel. Come on. This is a terrible look.
It already has a million views, I feel more than 1% of his subscribers will see it
Hey sorry to bother, just looks like you made a typo-“I HAD a lot of respect” 😜
Ciara L the attempt to hide the apology backfired then lol
I didn't even know he had a second channel🤔
@@halliegeary8701 no, I get you. There are a lot of doctors on social media now talking about what Dr Mike did. As much as I want to say he's human and we all make mistakes, this was a Big mistake and as a doctor seeing how difficult it has been to fight covid-19 I just don't understand how he thought it was ok to do what he did😏
The title should be:
"SORRY FOR GETTING CAUGHT"
YUP
what is he apologising? For what? I don't get it?
@@ryngkatbormarbaniang5444 me either
@@ryngkatbormarbaniang5444 @jane park didn't really answer the question.
Mike went on a mini boat with more than 15 of his friends. He did not social distance, and none of them were wearing mask on the trip.
sowwy I did an oopsie. It was totally worth it, but now forgwive me cause I'm awesome.
I'm honestly so disappointed in you. Because you of all people should know the risks that come with "going out". Even if you did check the guidelines, that doesn't change the fact that you are a hypocrite. It was a choice, Mike. You let us down by not following or staying true to your words. *YOU SAID YOU'LL BE HONEST BUT YOU POSTED THIS VIDEO ON AN UNKNOWN UA-cam CHANNEL. IF YOU DID FEEL GUILTY ABOUT THIS, YOU WOULD'VE ADDRESSED IT ON YOUR MAIN CHANNEL. But YOU DIDN'T, because you're afraid that you'll ruin your "Good handsome doctor image". Money and fame really does change people.*
As a random human being I have no idea why this is such a big deal yes he did something hypocritical but so has like… everyone in their life???
Because he’s a doctor with a lot of influence, and he’s going against what he says. Do you not think some people out there would think that since he, a doctor, did this that they could do it too? you seriously have no logic lmao
@@emperor8716 and if I’m being honest who remembers dr mike in the moment? You watch the video think “wow that’s interesting” or “wow that’s important” and you forget about it tomorrow. Like everything in UA-cam unless it’s brought up in an argument or in this case to yell at a human being about how horrible his mistake is

@@NONPOINT420 true man I aint never being that too blind and expects more from an influencer. I am not surprised anymore just really disappointed.
This was not a mistake. You are a physician, you’ve been making videos about coronavirus, you interviewed Dr. Fauci just a few months ago. This was a conscious, selfish choice.
The selfish part isn’t going on the boat, it’s participating in the scam so he can boost his image. If he was genuinely worried about the virus he wouldn’t have gone on the boat. He’s not worried.
@@CM-ig2do so if someone surprises you with a yacht that they rent for YOU you’re just going to be like “nah im good”
@@Perilloux No, but they could have at least wore a mask and from what I've heard some people on the boat were pornstars as well so he probably had so much fun.
@@Perilloux His friends should know better, they're friends with a doctor. He should know better and should have told them wayyy before plans were made "guys, if we're gonna do anything for my birthday, let it be small and intimate". I was in a hotel room w friends for my birthday (only 5 of us) but we were all safe, when we went out to pick up food (they don't deliver in that area), we wore masks and social distanced to our best ability, came back, washed our hands well, ate, and hung out. Nothing wrong w taking a trip rn as long as you're responsible about it and make sure everyone's on the same page.
@@Cattus_Maximus who heartedly agree with this.
I've loved you for ages and thought you were a great model. Turns out you're only sorry we found out and not because it's actually wrong.
he listened to the regulations, gets tested and went into quarantine...
@@gijanine3701 lol he didn’t tho. He just said stuff that was not true but sounded. He did this on purpose because he knew people would think he was following the guidelines. He knew what he was doing the whole time and I’m sure he doesn’t regret it one bit
@@monkey-choppa2751 correction: he did listen, got tested and went into quarantine.
@@monkey-choppa2751 shut up get a life
Shut up and he didnt even get covid go be rude to like morgz or something
People didn’t attend loved ones funerals because of what could happen. My father passed when I was 13 and this year and last I was unable to visit his grave on what would have been 6th and 7th anniversaries. I had to spend the 7th anniversary isolated away from my friends when I would have been out with them in an attempt to distract myself from the horrors of that day.
We have out our trust in science, medicine, and in you (and other clinicians), therefore to see you meandering down a lake in a boat surrounded by 10+ people without social distancing or proper measures, and apparently without the awareness of what your own actions might do if somebody was to get ill, or (what has happened), you were caught, is incredibly debilitating.
I have been a subscriber of your channel for years, and while this won’t make me stop watching, i do want to see if you have/will change your actions to honour or acknowledge those who are smart enough not to go gallivanting away with your mates. Some of us have had to make huge sacrifices, myself being one of them, and the least you could do is acknowledge that. It’s too late now of course, but I hope next time you will think clearer about what you are doing, who might see it, and thus how it might impact people.
so so SO disappointed that I only heard about this through D'Angelo's video. I was wondering why I hadn't seen this since I have notifications on for Dr. Mike, it was only until D'Angelo pointed out that it's "hidden" in a smaller channel. smh. so disappointed.
Same.
you and me both pal, I think even last year when I was telling my mom about Dr. Mike's videos she offhandedly mentioned something about a scandal and I brushed her off bc I'd have "heard about it on his channel". So much for accountability.
Me too, I had no idea. Casual fans like us had NO clue that this happened.
Just came from there too.
Guess the risk of catching and spreading covid is small compared to the risk of posting this dishonest apology to his main channel
When you were calculating your "individual risk," did you factor in that you're a doctor who sees patients?????
He’s calculating his risk so that no of his patients get infected
Yes he literally said that and that he was going to do the quarantine when he came back to new york
@@etheliaowo7533 The point is that he did not calculate his risks at all. He engaged in one of the most risky behaviors a person can do in this pandemic. He has warned others not to engage in risky behaviors that he himself ended up engaging in. THAT is why many people feel angry and disappointed about what he did.
@@kenziecandoit4634 Do you truly believe that he quarantined for 2 weeks in Florida before the party, and an additional 2 weeks in NY before returning to work? I used to have a high level of trust and respect for Dr. Mike, but considering his other lies/misrepresentations in his "apology" video, I have a hard time believing it.
@@arctic2921 One question... Do you have to quarantine before and after if you got tested negative before and after?
Don't throw stones in glass houses. He owned up to his mistake, guys. And not only that, he publicly apologized for it and he seems very genuine, so let's show some kindness and forgive. He did his research beforehand, it sounds like they got tested, and he quarantined after he got back to New York.
Should he have worn a mask? Sure! But really, he's a person like the rest of us.
I dare any of you to tell me you've never made a terrible mistake. And then tell me that if someone publicized this, how you'd feel about it.
Dr Mike is a sweetheart, and he shouldn't be made to feel bad when his friends and family were just trying to do something nice for him.
Dr Mike, you have my support! Thank you for everything you do, and, for what it's worth, we forgive you! Keep on keeping on, my friend!
It's impressive how you claim to be a responsible family doctor, but instead of identifying yourself with this role, you just consider yourself '''a young, healthy adult, who lives alone". You know how to make hypocrisy crystalise, don't cha?
And you've been perfect 24/7 and always apologized and made them perfect apologies? Yeah...ok. shut up. He's a great doctor and has done amazing work.
@@lunaballuna why are you try to excuse mike. He messed up and that’s it
@@lunaballuna He doesn't make money telling people differently. Dr. Mike tell people one thing to make money then he goes and does the complete opposite. Know the difference.
@@khaalmalki4039 oh, I certainly know the difference. I also know that everyone jumping on the "cancel" band wagon has zero right to toss the first stone. He is still an amazing doctor who does amazing work.
What a shalllow hypocrite. You've lectured people for months about what they can and cannot do, and based on some of your own videos, why would you think that being maskless and making physical contact with other people on a boat would be okay?
Come on, he is just human after all. Get the good and throw the bad is all I can say
@@dinaf.k5372 Um no...
@@evanli8813 I don't understand why people these days simply blame others when they are not perfect themselves
@@dinaf.k5372 Because you can still criticize people for doing bad things even though you’re not perfect. Like we don’t stop criticizing Hitler because we’ve made mistakes ourself.
@@evanli8813 Yes, but he is not Hitler. The thing is what he did was like a minor thing especially where I live. Of course that does not make it excusable and yes he's wrong... and he knew it even though he's a grown man... but everyone in the comments is literally bashing on him and It's not fair. I do understand why he did it since he's living alone and probably if he had a family of his own, he wouldn't do things like this in the first place.
The irony is if he wore a mask at that party people probably wouldn’t have recognized him
Yeah- with masks and sunglasses we all just look like bank robbers anyway. :)
Well it would be weird because no one else would be wearing one and if everyone was then it probably wouldn't be a "story"
And didn't even wear it correctly.
if you see this that means he hasn't disabled the comments yet
I'm shocked they're still here
Regarding the comments about him risking his patients:
1:28 - It seems to me that the fact he said that he was quarantining himself after the party and testing negative for COVID seems to be completely fine for the patients' safety.
“Breaking someone’s trust is like crumpling up a perfect piece of paper. You can smooth it over but it’s never going to be the same again.”
"when the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again" - Linkin Park
Agreed..I do not trust him..now!
Don't hold people to perfection, they'll never attain it.
Where/Who is that quote from?
@@johntaylor4787 Linkin Park, i don’t know when he wrote it though
The Risk Is a Spectrum mentality is the reason why cases are so high in the US.
"Not me" really explains a lot about our political state on a wide range of issues.
As an Australian it really worries me, we have some bad apples but we all generally take it really really seriously. Anti maskers in America are the bane of my existence lmao, please stay safe!!
It’s such a selfish mentality.
Dichotomous thinking is more harmful when the true risk is low... perhaps not low enough for YOU, but still low. You have to be able to distinguish your preferences from objective reality for a broad set of people. There's nothing wrong with having both.
I'm applying to medical school next year and have always used your videos as inspiration for what kind of doctor I wanted to be. I am really disappointed in you, in myself for believing that you were this perfect doctor to look up to, and in your UA-cam team for deciding that this apology was appropriate. You're a family doctor! Your decisions directly impact people's children, spouses, and siblings. You shouldn't be assessing your own risk level, you should be assessing the risk to your patients. I just want to remind you that the people you treat mean the absolute world to someone, and I wouldn't want my severely asthmatic sister to be in your hands after you attended a yacht party in Miami ffs. You've not only broken the doctor-patient trust, but you've also undermined the validity of your platform. I have not been more disappointed by a person I've looked up to, and I hope this weighs heavily on your conscience.
the yacht capacity was 90 with regulations it's 45. He listened to the regulations, gets tested and went into quarantine...
Also, holding someone to the standard of being perfect isn't fair or realistic
@@gijanine3701 I acknowledged it wasn't fair to hold him to that standard. That was my mistake. However, being a public medical figure and partying without proper coverings pre-vaccine is his mistake. I was only commenting because I don't believe he's taking proper accountability for his own actions. He posted this on a small secondary channel and his apology is filled with excuses. For someone who has rightfully condemned not following regulations for other celebrities, it's a shame that in his private life he chose to follow the same path.
@@libby9001 I see it more as explaining then excuses. But that could be me. Yes he had a moment of weakness when they threw a supriseparty for him, he's human after all. And seeing how he's on the frontline, thus more isolated from the people they know and care about, I can see anyone making this mistake if they were under that kind of pressure. I'm not adding "what if's" or "maybe's" because I simply don't have the knowledge to judge on that. And although I also don't understand putting this on his 2nd account, I also think the responses are in most cases way too harsh and that isn't fair either. Especially after all the good he has done and is still does. People shouldn't demonize others like they are.
I think this stuff happens when popularity goes straight to your head. It’s sort of discouraging to see a well educated doctor not being capable of making sound decisions in a situation where the wrong choice can impact everyone.
Part of me says there’s some interesting stuff here to investigate how popularity or fame affects judgement, but the bigger part can’t get over how gross this situation is
Since he's a celebrity doctor, this will have a really bad image for other doctors :(
Ikr, I was just thinking about that
Pay attention to the ones who are excusing his behavior too.
Not just other doctors but for what he represents in general... medicine, hospitals, science, etc. Not a very good timing to make such a mistake as well... considering a lot of people are already conspiring against the existence of the pandemic.
@@hvhened Is critical thinking and asking much needed questions considered "conspiring" these days? Jesus Christ, what has the world come to...
wtf is a celebrity doctor lmao
"And while I may be following rules and guidelines." YOU WERE NOT FOLLOWING RULES AND GUIDELINES! What bull! YOU ARE NOT CREDIBLE.
He highlighted the guidelines right there
He followed guidelines, but didn't think about the impact. Dr. Mike didn't believe he did anything wrong at first. There wouldn't have been any impact if people didn't see it. Once he was told he was wrong, he then realized his mistakes. That's what we are here for. To support him even through his mistakes!
That photo of him, maskless, surrounded by drunken people, showed he wasn't following guidelines. And there a video of him kneeling over a prone maskless woman, kneading
her neck. He's got something hanging off his face; it looks like a bikini bottom. Didn't look very effective as a mask. And he was surrounded by people in that instance, too.
He was partying and behaving irresponsibly. He's a hypocrite.
@@hannahlatham9208 He didn't follow guidelines. That photo of him partying maskless with a big group of partying people, also all maskless, showed he wasn't following guidelines.He was in a video, on his knees, cracking the neck of a prone maskless woman, with something hanging off his face that didn't look like it would be worth much as a mask. And in that video he was surrounded by partying people, too. I don't think he needed any "support." He's not trustworthy. He's a hypocrite.

I know I’m a year late but I really wish you would give this man some slack- he very very rarely screws up and you can tell he genuinely feels awful about this at the same time as feeling embarrassed about his actions (hence why he didn’t post on his main channel- he evidently wanted to keep this under wraps to avoid any further controversy and embarrassment from anyone who was unaware.)
I still look up to him as a professional, I still recognise his talent and genuine care. He looked up the relevant guidelines for the given activity and he is taken responsibility either way. He has been under a lot of pressure as a public doctor. He fucked up, sure. We all do. I hope that you all aren’t still holding this against him.

There's nothing wrong in this video. Why so much hate? He acknowledged his mistake, he acknowledged that he messed up, that he's a human who is bound to make mistakes. And most importantly, he said ' I can't promise that i'll never make mistakes in future, but what i do promise is that i'll learn from those mistakes'
Okay, for a moment, just forget everything about him. Suppose he's just a random guy and not an influencer, would you still care about him? Now right, then why you care now?
And i pity those conspiracy theorists using him as a scapegoat to undermine covid. I wish y'all could've been a little sensible and logical (and probably not unemployed), then how much better our lives would currently be
One thing I’m going to say is yes you are a doctor. But you are a human first. Everyone is. Yeah it was a pandemic and a lot of people did take it serious. A lot of people blew it off. Who gives a shit that someone wanted to have a party. Countless people kept about their business as if we weren’t in a pandemic. Don’t berate someone for being human. As he said in his video he followed all quarantine protocol when returning so what’s the problem with having some fun if you’re following all the steps you have to to get back to your job? People now a days just find something to bitch about. Dr. Mike I love you and your videos 100%. No need to apologize for being human. Stay you. Live it up and do anything any other HUMAN would do !
i'm so tired of having to stay home and seeing celebrities just go out and party whenever they want... we're going to be in quarantine forever at this rate

I genuinely don’t think people would be as pissed if you sacked up and put this on the main channel dude.
NOONE knows this channel exists in your audience. I only found it through comments. Which means I’m finding out you tried to slide this apology video under the radar instead of owning up to it.
It’s a bad look man.
Honestly. I was looking up one of his videos and a recommended result was apology and I thought it was gonna be a parody but nope.
honestly, I think he rather let the smaller amount of people who know about this situation than to inform his entire 6 million audience (or at least a few million and more attention from outside sources).... and this says a lot about his values...
Everyone alive had a birthday this year. I spent mine at home doing yard work because we’re in a pandemic.
But mine was in Jan before it got bad here, so I partied😂
nerdgirl Akanksha next birthday won’t be as fun tho
May baby here. I painted pottery and watched my new Star Wars DVD :)
Same but I didn't mind cuz I don't like going out. But my mom is an extrovert and loves going out. She's gonna spend her b-day at home cuz of the virus. Doctor Mike should've done the same 🙄
Mines was in march , I celebrated with my mom and brother. My other relatives weren't invited because we are in a pandemic.
Guys, I think the hate should stop. I came up to this video just now, and how people are calling him a "hypocrite". I am not here to take sides. He has made a mistake. I know. But he isn't the only one who attended parties and violated the guidelines. Honestly, I think that if anything, y'all should attack all, if you think what he did was wrong. I admit he was, but A LOT of other people did as well. I've seen many other times when people did things worse, and as long as everyone took minor precautions, that's all that matters. And most importantly, he apologized, so people should stop hating on him. He at least admitted that he made a mistake. He was tested negative and made sure that everyone was safe. Stop the hate and move on :)
It wasn’t a mistake.
I just want to say to everyone that no one is perfect certainly not me, not him, and not you either. Everyone will search for socialization at times of pandemic. Don’t be criticize him for one mistake he’s asked forgiveness for. Dr. Mike should you see this message know that you’re forgiven not only by me and others that stand firmly beside you but that He who is more important. Yes, you’re human like all the rest of us, but what matters most is that learn from our mistakes and you did just that. We care for you. May you have a blessed day.
Thank you for actually being sane! People are just looking for some reason to cancel him so they feel special, so this is always refreshing.

I’m sure everyone has made a poor choice at one point in their life or another, and facing backlash is scary, facing the disappointment you caused is heartbreaking. Dr. Mike, you are human. I am not going to fault you for that. I know I’ve made some mistakes in my past and I would rather be defined by how I tried to change rather than focusing on the mistake. You are not frozen in time. Again, you are forgiven.
You've admitted you were wrong.

@@julia.siqueira He posted the link to this pseudo apology on the community tab of his main channel, who even checks those out, not many, I imagine.
I watched my gran cry when she realised my cousins couldn’t come over for Christmas. I have not seen my boyfriend in months. I want to see the people I love more than anything in the world, I didn’t come home from university until I was tested twice and isolated. To here doctor, who preaches for everyone to take this virus seriously to keep everyone safe is partying on a boat cause they don’t think it will impact THEIR life? You have patients who don’t have the immunity they need to fight the virus. My parents are both front line workers and wouldn’t dream of it. As someone who looks up to you I am incredibly disappointed, especially since this video doesn’t feel like a genuine apology. What would have happened if you caught covid from one of your friends and they had a friend who had a shielding family member? Or if you went into work and spread it to your college’s and patients. That wasn’t a mistake to go on that boat, it was a choice. It takes one person to spread it to hundreds which you very well know and I expected better from you.
Edit: I just realised you didn’t even post it on your main channel, no wonder I’m not finding this out until now. If you are sincere about your apology, you wouldn’t hide the topic from your main audience
I agree. It wasn’t a mistake it was a choice
Yep, it was a choice - not a mistake.
This weasel is only sorry he got caught
@fiery but mostly peaceful Awwh, that is so sweet to know that you were with your grandfather! Unfortunately, my grandmother was in a long term facility and we could not enter, for at least 5 or 6 weeks before she passed. It is so sad.
@Tyler B #2 laughter at someone's family member passing? that is classy!
Did people really give him shit for that? Wow
I know this is old but it’s crazy he has to apologize. He’s still human, apologized when he didn’t have to and you people still belittle him. Y’all are lame. Leave him alone. :)
Doctor here. You knew exactly what you were doing. If you didn’t then I question your capacity to practice medicine.
Precisely. It was no mistake. It was purposeful, he knew exactly what he was doing
👏
look Mike, this is what a *real* doctor is like
Thank you. I’m so appalled by this.
Covid is fake. I know I'm a doctor
“I can’t promise that I won’t make another mistake again.”
So when’s the next boat party?
and where
Are we getting turned into zombies at that boat party cause I'm in
*Bachelor PARTY at LOGAN PAUL house*
@@SANDUSK471 ah i see
don’t worry New Years Eve is soon 😂😂
Guys, have a heart. He's apologizing here, not arguing. I doubt that every time you don't wear a mask, you get people calling you a liar and a fraud, plus, he admitted that he made a mistake.
Thanks for being sane! Very refreshing in a sea of narcissistic commenters saying "I forgive you, but you were wrong" or "I can never watch or trust him again"
This is 2 years old but I find it disgusting how almost everyone is blaming him. Did he screw up and got selfish? Yeah, he did. But guys, even though you consider him a superhero, he's still a human, he has made, makes and will make mistakes. He didn't owe this to anyone. He didn't owe an apology, he could have just ignored it. Why post it on his main channel? Just to get millions of people, most of which don't even truly like his content, to see his screw-up to have backlash? That's not right, that would be masochistic. Stop idolizing public figures and then hating and bashing them when they don't meet your high standards.
@@olivercharles2930 No he doesn't.
1. He doesn't *pretend* to be a doctor, he *is* a doctor.
2. He. Assessed. Risk.
3. He's a human being, so he is going to make mistakes, just cause he made a mistake doesn't mean he should go and jump out a window feeling like a piece of s*
@@olivercharles2930 He's also a man in his 30s who's filthy rich and has the luck to have friends. Give him a break
Dude you don't understand the situation,first of all he is a professional,has millions of followers,such a situation not only decreases faith in the overall healthcare system(not just talking about the US),it decreases a person's overall faith in doctors.
"Doctors do things what they say other not to do" is the first thing that any person would think after seeing thr pic.
This is just him being irresponsible,see i agree humans make mistakes but this is just too big of a mistake, if he was a normal influencer it wouldn't matter that much but he is a fricking doctor himself.
An actual Doctor Mike simp? 🤠
@Games_Bond we found his secret account
As a nursing student who’s birthday is going to pass alone, who really looked up to you. I’m really disappointed.
agreed. i hope u have a decent birthday, as best as it can possibly be during these tough times. sending lots of love your way!
Calm down 🙄
He’s human just like you are. Cut him some slack.
No one cares
Same here
laura lee’s apology is shaking
Omg, the Queen who started it all 💀✨
@@Eilhea 😂😭💀
A lot of people talking shit and comparing him to politicians, but at least he isn't deflecting and is accepting it. It was a mistake but we all make mistakes sometimes even on this level so just forgive don't forget and continue your life
When you're famous you are not allowed to make mistakes, since famous on social media these days means you're not human and you deserve the thrashing you get after making a mistake.
B- but he’s a.... doctor... tho
@@frostanimations9842 he still famous
This “apology” is garbage. It’s not on his main channel. I’d respect him if he made a 1 minute video just straight up saying he did what he did admitting his wrong doings.
Don't lie to yourself lol, I completely agree up to the point of him making a 1 min video being satisfactory to any of us. That would've been just as controversial.
@@FunkyBananaBear this is literally a 4 min video of him first saying he should be justified cause he check them apologized once and back to justifying his reason it’s ok. 💀 it’s understandable he maybe checked & etc but I don’t understand how he and many others preach about mask & staying home but do the opposite. he would have been better making a 2 min video apologizing and saying he won’t do it about on his MAIN CHANNEL.
“The people I’m saying sorry to right now are very specific people - my loyal viewers...”
*posts on a different channel that no one knows about*
And, he never ONCE said "I'm sorry."
Apparently 70,000 people know about it
@@jilltheprivateinvestigator3328 3:34
@@MrJoel834 “to the people i’m saying sorry too... is to my subscribers”. idk man, he gives all these reasons that he didn’t know until nowbut he’s a doctor which is in contradictory of his own job
@@leilanis6846 I’m not saying he did not make a mistake. But literally the video is titled “admitting when I’m wrong”. Have you ever made a mistake? Maybe forgot a mask while running a quick errand?
You're a good man Dr. Mike. Thank you for the information, education you generously give to all of us. Please give Bear a belly rub for me.
No he's not lol Don't fall for his bullshit
@@mr.mirabilis9021 cut the man some slack bro he's good at what he does at least he apologized and that's all that matters
He is doctor and he's right because all doctors are right
He is doctor and he's right because all doctors are right
if anyone in these comments got invited, they would've gone
You’ve disgraced your entire profession. You’ve disgraced every single one of your colleagues. You knew what you were doing was wrong and you did it anyways. I used to really like your videos and look up to you but not anymore. Fame really does corrupt people. This was a weak apology at best. Do better.
😂
What is your problem
I hope this is sarcasm
@@reacts17 He's right
@@reacts17 sadly i don’t think @jenna daniels is being sarcastic. i think she is serious. lol
For someone who calculated so many risks, you didn't seem to fully calculate the risk and following outcry of someone posting pics and exposing your azz 🤓
Oh, another “sorry I got caught” video .... ok
So I’m really stupid, so can someone explain what Mike did? I get that he went on a boat or smt, but in the video he explained that he hadn’t breached guidelines. Did he forget to wear a mask? Or are you just not allowed to use boats? I’m in Australia so I have no idea what the situation was like in USA
