Scooby, please delete this video. You're a hero of mine, but this is a bad look for you and a bad coda to the greatest UA-cam Fitness Channel career of all time. I couldn't even make it through to the end. Please.
Yeah but Scoob, people with retarded opinions are also going to have retarded uninsightful questions that will transcend logic and critical thinking. As a 90's kid from the golden age of trolling I must share with you that people on the internet are not a barometer for your own drive and achievement. You have much better sources of ingroup interaction amongst your workshoppers and real life. It is unwise to give this the time and feelings it so clearly does not deserve. I hope the good in your heart does not prevent you from answering your own philosophical question "There are infact stupid people with stupid questions that are not worth engaging with" This is why people fail and where they end up at the bottom is a byproduct of society. Plenty of virtuous individuals like yourself have broken themselves on lost causes in the attempt to show the world is a just place which it isn't. Not all misery is merely a lack of opportunity or care.
If I look HALF this good when I'm 60... Jeez! I'd be happy. More importantly, if I'm in HALF this kinda shape when I'm 60, I'll be happy. I started working out when I was 31, and Scooby was the reason. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and discovered (through research) that the best thing to do is work out. It helped, and I felt like a new man! I'm 42 now, and have slowed down drastically, but I still stick with it, for the most part. Perhaps I should be following Scooby again, as much as I did back then, and it would probably inspire me to push myself more. Thanks for the years of inspiration over the years, Scooby! For all the work you've put into it all these years.

Dave Palomba while that may or may not be true, he’s responded more than appropriately in retiring since the trolls are starting to get under his skin (which after so long who wouldn’t be eventually affect by such overwhelming negativity?) So I find it to be a very mature and reasonable decision to retire when one becomes old and grumpy. Also entitled? Hardly. He’s clearly a self made men who doesn’t take short cuts.

My idol Arnold the greatest bodybuilding of all times is 74, And I got to be an idiot to spect that he looks the way he did when he was 25, or 45, . I admired you because of what you teach, not because the way you looks like today! Thanks for your videos!
You could literally have the best physique on earth and you would get trolled by the keyboard warriors! As for not looking as good as you did 16 years ago when you was in your early 40's. I just had to roll my eyes...
Scooby, I hope your brief video was cathartic, your points were well made. I've never writen to you before but just wanted to say that your videos are inspirational. What you have shared about your life goes way beyond just skin and muscle. Thank you.
Because of all the content being posted on the website I didn’t even have to ask “how do I workout at home now that gyms are closed?” The content was already there from being posted several years ago.
You are the most sensible body builder I've ever come across. You're very knowledgeable, very resourceful, and very patient. Thanks for being with us through all these years.
You were the first one to start FREE fitness videos in youtube. Back then, scammers were all around. You have set the bar very high, inspired me and millions of people to be in better shape. Thank you scooby!
We love you scooby been watching you since 2011 what ever your decisions are I’ll always remember all the FREE help you gave us, especially the frozen bananas that was a great diet tip. Best wishes
Genuinely Scoob, you have helped me so much in life and have been a fantastic teacher. I've never thought you were grumpy (I just thought that was sarcastic humour). You're a solid human being full of great advice from health to finances. Thank you for all of it, love you bud!
scooby, youve always been the best. straightforward, you tell it straight like i do, eat less calories, work out more. use good form, forget about other people, just compete with yourself. dont injure yourself. its weird to think you are 60 now
Yo making fun of fitness questions is a great model for yt in 2020 and your self awareness lends itself to some unique criticism that is comedic gold. There is a younger generation that loves this sort of thing if u could tap into it it could be fun
Don't listen to this people. I learned a lot from you and I'm very grateful. You are much older than me, you have more knowledge, you are more wiser than me. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, experience...

Don't flatter yourself, Scooby. You're not that grumpy. I haven't met too many grumpy old men that go out of their way for YEARS to help others in all the ways you have. It's ridiculously obvious that contributing to the well-being of others is a major driver for you. In my opinion, you're an exemplary human being, and you getting sick of rude and lazy people on the internet (I mean, seriously?) is not going to change that. So, shut it.
I've learned and grown watching your videos through all my 20s and i am 36 now and because of your common sense philosophy, knowledge i've grown to become a better human being. Fitness is great for your health but it is also wonderful for the mind.. Thank you scooby
I would regard Scooby in the same reverence as Richard Simmons or Jack LeLanne. Perhaps higher, because he never charged people a dime to give them the tools to better themselves.
Your awesome Scooby! People have given you good reason to get grumpy. Some people must always have something to say or criticize. You rock man! Loving the Hat! 👍🏿👍🏿
Scooby you are awesome, I started watching you probably over 10 years ago. Inadvertently tuned out for years but you just popped up in my feed. It’s great to see you still at it, and looking awesome and being chill, we could all only hope to age like you! Enjoy your retirement !
Smart Scooby, this video make me look for your old videos again. Really you have changed! I have not realized myself. Thanks again for all those great videos.
Ha! Love this! I’ve learned so much from you - especially laughter😂 I about lost it you explaining why you’re not traveling right now😀 Have a great day!
All I can say is best of luck in your continued fitness journey scooby. I am 53 now and have been doing this fitness gig since my late teens and what I have learned is you have to change things fitness wise to adapt as you get older. Loved your videos as I had a lot in common with them especially with regards to working out at home which was my preferred way to train and not at a gym. All the best, Max
Scooby, I really appreciate how you've decided to make several workout related videos during this time of quarantine instead of keeping to your plan of posting traveling videos. Your videos always provide both ideas for how to work out at home and inspiration as well. Although I very much appreciate that you always take the time to read comments, I am really sorry that so many idiots clutter the comment sections on youtube.
You inspired me to get into fitness Scooby. Amongst a sea of chash grabbing scam artists that prey on people's insecurities; you put time and effort into selflessly helping people that you didn't even know free of charge. That shows a true compassion which we should all try to follow. You've had a completely positive impact on my life, and im greatful for everything you've done for me. Enjoy you're retirement, i will remember you foundly and take your advice to heart
I remember 9 years ago when you made a video about turning 50 and still considering it the prime of your life. Oh How much I like that video. Now I wish you make videos talking about turning 60 and how fascinating this could be not because you are rich and you travel a lot but because you exercise and you eat right and you have scientific vision.
This is the first video since I haven't watched your video for years. I was like... who would comment such a thing on a scooby video? Kids these days need to learn some manners lol. You are the OG of youtube fitness. Even though I haven't watched you in years, but I am still a subscriber cause you are one of my earliest people that I learned fitness from and you are legit!
I been following u since I was in high school and ur videos where always straight to the point and now i’m 29 and u inspire me to always strive to be better and thank u scoob for sticking around still 🤘👊💯
Long time no see Scooby I'll never forget you dude.. You were the person that taught me the importance of hydration! All the best to you my man! Haven't seen you for years and you still look the same!
You are my favourite Scooby. From day 1, I've enjoyed your videos more than Atlean X, Six pack shortcut, Vshreded and you name it. Simple because you are a funny guy, who makes great informative trainingvideos that are down to earth. Keep on pillowecreaming and say hello to your helpers🦄
Nice video! I like how honest you are in your videos! I had watched your pull ups and push ups beginner videos some 6/7 years ago. I could never do pull ups properly before then. So essentially you taught me how to do my first pull up! (and then I did do 8 more 😊) I also loved your video on the topic "if it tastes good, then spit it out" among many other videos. Now that you are retiring from making fitness videos, I just want to thank you for having made fitness videos, and for impacting lives all over the world with your content. ❤️
I still can't believe people say that you look like shit when you have a chest that, in my 26 years of living, is the only one that compels me to want to rub it vigorously.
Scooby. I'm 64-years-old and, per your advice, I bought red, black, and purple WODFitters Stretch Resistance Bands, push-up bars, pull-up bars, etc. Due to your help, I am working out more, getting back in shape, and eating better by using your recipes. Thanks Scooby1961, keep up the good work!
@@scooby1961 Thanks Scooby. Next thing will be for me to build a TRX. Later this summer my wife and I will be moving to Costa Rica to serve as missionaries. The portability of the bands and homemade TRX will allow me to take my gym with me and set it up once we get settled. You Rock Scooby!
You look great!!! Don’t listen to the negativity of the people!! Some people will always dislike you for whatever reason! You are an inspiration and a great teacher!! I watch your videos all the time for great workout tips and just to get some laughs at time!!
Scooby i love you, you have inspired and educated me for many years and i will always be grateful to you for all your hard work, effort and passion. Thank you
Uncle Scooby, thank you for being honest, love your videos, I appreciate all the knowledge you've given us, you're the mature male with wisdom I never had in my life
I'm very sorry for my question yesterday (about subtitling) and you're right I should just have googled it. Anyway, thank you for giving good straightforward answers and for continuing to make great videos
You've handled the YT comment s-show so well, and for so long. The tech behind the comments is like an experimental drug given to creators and community both, and it's broken and horrible. It encourages stupidity. From the creator end it also disincentivizes video creation, which makes no sense at all. Plus, with some simple tweaks it could be made so much less toxic. Sigh. Someday I think people will ask, "HOW did you withstand such a barrage of crap for so long?" It will be ridiculous in hindsight.
Dont leave Scooby, I have been watching your videos since I was 18, I am now 36. Your whole outlook to physical fitness is freeing to both mind and muscle. I keep your teachings close at all times to take my fitness goals in strides and forget the machismo ego lifting away from me as possible, from your humble fan from Vancouver B.C., 2020 covid-19 isolating and still making progress getting stronger .
Scooby, I’ve been a fan of yours since 2012, and I can’t believe I need to correct you 8 years later. In your video, you say “there’s no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid answers.” I think the saying goes, “there’s no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people.” Hope you, Scott, and Milo are staying safe!
At our age we've earned the right to be grumpy if we do wish to be! Thank you for your hard work! I'm disabled and I train with the resistance bands that I credit you with for getting me started with. Your work and great advice is greatly appreciated by those of us that need it! Again! Thank you sir! I'm battling osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and awaiting surgery and I am getting stronger and I believe in what I'm doing working at training than doing nothing at all! You deserve the right to enjoy your retirement!
Scooby, you get the beacon of reality award for this rant. And to that person's comment,,, most people can only hope to have the physique that you do at your age. You are the healthiest "grumpy old man:" most people will ever see.
Please Scooby do not forget that there lots of people out there who are grateful to you for all the excellent videos you have done over there years. Personally I find your observations about life and financing and politics especially interesting.
Scooby, don't argue with an idiot they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.. You have given your time and insights, 99 percent of the population won't have your physique at 30 let alone 60. As the comments below show, you have far more people grateful for your time than those in the other camp. I wrote this a long time ago and keep reminding myself of it: Life is like a ladder and you can do one of three things: 1. Be the type of person who climbs the ladder 2. Be the type of person who climbs the ladder and tries to pull people up with them as a team. 3. Be the type of person who tries to pull people back down the ladder because you resent they have the will to climb or climb further than you. (misery loves company) Number three is to remind myself that the only way to get past them is to climb above them... you do that by ignoring them and focusing on the climb. Sometimes you have to be category one (if you can't take care of yourself you won't be in a position to help others), sometimes you can afford to be in category 2 and you should always try to help those already trying to climb. You have spent your time in category 2, no one can criticise you for being in category 1, look after yourself Scooby you have earned it.
I understand your position. And thought I'm going to miss your informative videos, I hope your new project will be successful. By the way, your videos helped me a lot to improve my pull up game.
Nobody looks great forever that's just a fact of life, but scooby still has an impressive physique. 99.99% of everyone else his age does not even look close to that. Also these duds and trolls on the internet aren't even worth the energy responding to. Thank you for all the information, tools, tips, and motivation you've given over the years. You're literally the only person that did it for free!
Hello Scooby, Ten years ago I found myself at 238 pounds. I didn’t considered how I looked. Work and the internet became my life. When I followed your fitness program my weight dropped to 168 pounds. I started to travel. I have been to almost every State. I finally got to visit Europe, and began to think of deeper thoughts. Found out the life is more than the box. Currently I am at 178 pounds because of matters which are obvious. I will take upon myself to do better and try something new. The industry I occupied was hit the hardest by these unfolding events. I hope to return soon because looking down on this nation brings me a joy I never knew I could hold. Thank you so much !
About people being too lazy to google an answer, i think people are just getting too lazy to think across the board. I have people at work, both younger and 5-10 years older then me, that simply break down and wait to be spoon fed instructions whenever there any small issue or any hiccup. They simply refuse to think, just panic and wait. So i don't think it's a "generation" thing as much as a "society" thing. A easy and safe world creates simple and weak people.
I wonder if every generation thinks this about the next or if its something new. I am with you, I look at all these people who need "influencers" fill their empty minds and tell them what to think. People who take initiative and are problem solvers seem as rare as Kryptonite these days.
@@scooby1961 When we were younger we didn't have selfies, videos and social media to immortalize everything we did and thought, so i'm sure we're looking back at our youth through biased glasses. But still, i'm not saying it's just the 'young generation" but society as a whole is straying away from critical thinking. Across the western world general education is going down constantly since the end of the cold war. Just look how many times countries lowered the bar for standardized tests or just switched the focus of the classroom to just prepare for the tests. Somehow everyone needs an education turned into "no child left behind". As far as i know Finland is the only country that seems to tackle this issue at general education level, and it recently started to teach critical thinking in schools. i.e. don't believe everything you read/hear, look up answers for yourself, use multiple sources etc.
Thanks for the good thing you've done to us mr. Scooby, for giving us entertainment and knowledge about many things. Like you, I have scoliosis too but I got inspired by you and now I know what should I do's and don'ts. Dont mind toxic people. Enjoy retirement!
I don't think I've actually heard you swear and I've been around since those early days of YT haha. I loved your answer and think it's applicable to nearly every thread on the internet. Good Job Man, this is why I've always supported you :)
Scooby you look amazing, since you started youtube and now also! Don’t mind these illiterate haters, your true fans appreciate you exactly for who you are. Love the quarantine videos, we’re all stuck at home!!
Scooby you look amazing. If I was 60 and I looked like you I would be very happy. Much better than being a juice head and losing all your mass once you go off cycle

I am 53 now and have been doing this fitness gig since my late teens and what I have learned is you have to change things fitness wise to adapt as you get older.
Loved your videos as I had a lot in common with them especially with regards to working out at home which was my preferred way to train and not at a gym.
All the best,
Max
Thanks! Glad you found a way early on to make fitness a part of your healthy lifestyle too!!! :)
You are not grumpy old man, you are our dear and awesome teacher Scooby! Thank you for all the awesome advice and content you provided!
Wow, thank you
Scooby, I really appreciate how you've decided to make several workout related videos during this time of quarantine instead of keeping to your plan of posting traveling videos. Your videos always provide both ideas for how to work out at home and inspiration as well. Although I very much appreciate that you always take the time to read comments, I am really sorry that so many idiots clutter the comment sections on youtube.
Its not by choice! I would travel if I could get on a jet and go anywhere!
@@scooby1961 Yes, I heard you say in your video that you'd be on a plane if you could. And that's why I appreciate these videos a lot.
You inspired me to get into fitness Scooby. Amongst a sea of chash grabbing scam artists that prey on people's insecurities; you put time and effort into selflessly helping people that you didn't even know free of charge. That shows a true compassion which we should all try to follow.
You've had a completely positive impact on my life, and im greatful for everything you've done for me.
Enjoy you're retirement, i will remember you foundly and take your advice to heart
Thanks!
Thank you for provided all kinds of free content and entertainment.
I remember 9 years ago when you made a video about turning 50 and still considering it the prime of your life. Oh How much I like that video.
Now I wish you make videos talking about turning 60 and how fascinating this could be not because you are rich and you travel a lot but because you exercise and you eat right and you have scientific vision.
This is the first video since I haven't watched your video for years. I was like... who would comment such a thing on a scooby video? Kids these days need to learn some manners lol. You are the OG of youtube fitness. Even though I haven't watched you in years, but I am still a subscriber cause you are one of my earliest people that I learned fitness from and you are legit!
I been following u since I was in high school and ur videos where always straight to the point and now i’m 29 and u inspire me to always strive to be better and thank u scoob for sticking around still 🤘👊💯
you are quite welcome!
Long time no see Scooby
I'll never forget you dude.. You were the person that taught me the importance of hydration!
All the best to you my man! Haven't seen you for years and you still look the same!
:) +19% strength!
Scooby so smart, he can make you look like an ass in the most polite way 😂
Scooby looks badass for 60. Hope to look that good at 60.
You are my favourite Scooby. From day 1, I've enjoyed your videos more than Atlean X, Six pack shortcut, Vshreded and you name it. Simple because you are a funny guy, who makes great informative trainingvideos that are down to earth. Keep on pillowecreaming and say hello to your helpers🦄
Wow, thank you!
Nice video! I like how honest you are in your videos! I had watched your pull ups and push ups beginner videos some 6/7 years ago. I could never do pull ups properly before then. So essentially you taught me how to do my first pull up! (and then I did do 8 more 😊) I also loved your video on the topic "if it tastes good, then spit it out" among many other videos. Now that you are retiring from making fitness videos, I just want to thank you for having made fitness videos, and for impacting lives all over the world with your content. ❤️
This made my day :)
@@scooby1961 And you taking the time to reply made my day as well! ☺️
I still can't believe people say that you look like shit when you have a chest that, in my 26 years of living, is the only one that compels me to want to rub it vigorously.
Thanks!
You're a good man Scooby thanks for everything throughout the years ,I remember my first video I watched of yours it was the one about water ☺️
you're a treasure to us scoob, stay safe!
Scooby. I'm 64-years-old and, per your advice, I bought red, black, and purple WODFitters Stretch Resistance Bands, push-up bars, pull-up bars, etc. Due to your help, I am working out more, getting back in shape, and eating better by using your recipes. Thanks Scooby1961, keep up the good work!
That is awesome!!! Way to go!
@@scooby1961 Thanks Scooby. Next thing will be for me to build a TRX. Later this summer my wife and I will be moving to Costa Rica to serve as missionaries. The portability of the bands and homemade TRX will allow me to take my gym with me and set it up once we get settled. You Rock Scooby!
You look great!!! Don’t listen to the negativity of the people!! Some people will always dislike you for whatever reason! You are an inspiration and a great teacher!! I watch your videos all the time for great workout tips and just to get some laughs at time!!
Thank you so much!!
You’re a legend sir, thank you for all your years of incredible content. Respect 🙌🏻💪🏼
Scooby i love you, you have inspired and educated me for many years and i will always be grateful to you for all your hard work, effort and passion. Thank you
I appreciate that
@@scooby1961 If you ever visit Ireland let me know! I'd love the chance to meet you
Uncle Scooby, thank you for being honest, love your videos, I appreciate all the knowledge you've given us, you're the mature male with wisdom I never had in my life
If you're grumpy, I'm just pure salt scooby
I'm very sorry for my question yesterday (about subtitling) and you're right I should just have googled it. Anyway, thank you for giving good straightforward answers and for continuing to make great videos
No worries! Its just that I dont have time to oversee this and there are too many people who would troll and put inappropriate subtitles.
You've handled the YT comment s-show so well, and for so long. The tech behind the comments is like an experimental drug given to creators and community both, and it's broken and horrible. It encourages stupidity. From the creator end it also disincentivizes video creation, which makes no sense at all. Plus, with some simple tweaks it could be made so much less toxic. Sigh. Someday I think people will ask, "HOW did you withstand such a barrage of crap for so long?" It will be ridiculous in hindsight.
Agreed. Being able to make comments should be an earned right.
Dont leave Scooby, I have been watching your videos since I was 18, I am now 36. Your whole outlook to physical fitness is freeing
to both mind and muscle. I keep your teachings close at all times to take my fitness goals in strides and forget the machismo ego lifting
away from me as possible, from your humble fan from Vancouver B.C., 2020 covid-19 isolating and still making progress getting stronger .

I would give you a hug if I could for that comment Scooby. Don't stop being who you are man. I love the honesty. And the world needs more of it.
Scooby, I’ve been a fan of yours since 2012, and I can’t believe I need to correct you 8 years later.
In your video, you say “there’s no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid answers.”
I think the saying goes, “there’s no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people.”
Hope you, Scott, and Milo are staying safe!
LOL!!!
At our age we've earned the right to be grumpy if we do wish to be! Thank you for your hard work! I'm disabled and I train with the resistance bands that I credit you with for getting me started with. Your work and great advice is greatly appreciated by those of us that need it! Again! Thank you sir! I'm battling osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and awaiting surgery and I am getting stronger and I believe in what I'm doing working at training than doing nothing at all! You deserve the right to enjoy your retirement!
Scooby you grumpy, crotchety, whiny old man . Just kidding, dont change a thing. You are an inspiration! We appreciate your dedication and hard work.
I appreciate that
Scooby, you get the beacon of reality award for this rant. And to that person's comment,,, most people can only hope to have the physique that you do at your age. You are the healthiest "grumpy old man:" most people will ever see.
Please Scooby do not forget that there lots of people out there who are grateful to you for all the excellent videos you have done over there years. Personally I find your observations about life and financing and politics especially interesting.
Thanks!
I hope I look as good as you by the time I hit my 60s, hell...even my 40s!
Scooby, don't argue with an idiot they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.. You have given your time and insights, 99 percent of the population won't have your physique at 30 let alone 60.
As the comments below show, you have far more people grateful for your time than those in the other camp.
I wrote this a long time ago and keep reminding myself of it:
Life is like a ladder and you can do one of three things:
1. Be the type of person who climbs the ladder
2. Be the type of person who climbs the ladder and tries to pull people up with them as a team.
3. Be the type of person who tries to pull people back down the ladder because you resent they have the will to climb or climb further than you. (misery loves company)
Number three is to remind myself that the only way to get past them is to climb above them... you do that by ignoring them and focusing on the climb. Sometimes you have to be category one (if you can't take care of yourself you won't be in a position to help others), sometimes you can afford to be in category 2 and you should always try to help those already trying to climb.
You have spent your time in category 2, no one can criticise you for being in category 1, look after yourself Scooby you have earned it.
Thanks!
I understand your position. And thought I'm going to miss your informative videos, I hope your new project will be successful.
By the way, your videos helped me a lot to improve my pull up game.
Thank you!
Nobody looks great forever that's just a fact of life, but scooby still has an impressive physique. 99.99% of everyone else his age does not even look close to that. Also these duds and trolls on the internet aren't even worth the energy responding to. Thank you for all the information, tools, tips, and motivation you've given over the years. You're literally the only person that did it for free!
I love you Scooby!
You are the best fitness/life teacher for me!:-)
The new hat goes well with bringing the harsh truths.
Hello Scooby,
Ten years ago I found myself at 238 pounds. I didn’t considered how I looked. Work and the internet became my life. When I followed your fitness program my weight dropped to 168 pounds. I started to travel. I have been to almost every State. I finally got to visit Europe, and began to think of deeper thoughts. Found out the life is more than the box. Currently I am at 178 pounds because of matters which are obvious.
I will take upon myself to do better and try something new. The industry I occupied was hit the hardest by these unfolding events. I hope to return soon because looking down on this nation brings me a joy I never knew I could hold.
Thank you so much !
Well said Scooby .
About people being too lazy to google an answer, i think people are just getting too lazy to think across the board. I have people at work, both younger and 5-10 years older then me, that simply break down and wait to be spoon fed instructions whenever there any small issue or any hiccup. They simply refuse to think, just panic and wait.
So i don't think it's a "generation" thing as much as a "society" thing. A easy and safe world creates simple and weak people.
I wonder if every generation thinks this about the next or if its something new. I am with you, I look at all these people who need "influencers" fill their empty minds and tell them what to think. People who take initiative and are problem solvers seem as rare as Kryptonite these days.
@@scooby1961 When we were younger we didn't have selfies, videos and social media to immortalize everything we did and thought, so i'm sure we're looking back at our youth through biased glasses.
But still, i'm not saying it's just the 'young generation" but society as a whole is straying away from critical thinking.
Across the western world general education is going down constantly since the end of the cold war. Just look how many times countries lowered the bar for standardized tests or just switched the focus of the classroom to just prepare for the tests. Somehow everyone needs an education turned into "no child left behind".
As far as i know Finland is the only country that seems to tackle this issue at general education level, and it recently started to teach critical thinking in schools. i.e. don't believe everything you read/hear, look up answers for yourself, use multiple sources etc.
Thanks for the good thing you've done to us mr. Scooby, for giving us entertainment and knowledge about many things. Like you, I have scoliosis too but I got inspired by you and now I know what should I do's and don'ts. Dont mind toxic people. Enjoy retirement!
Scooby is a legend
I don't think I've actually heard you swear and I've been around since those early days of YT haha. I loved your answer and think it's applicable to nearly every thread on the internet. Good Job Man, this is why I've always supported you :)
Scooby bro your 60 no you dont look like some 20 year old body builders but for 60 you look incredible
Scooby, you shouldnt even bother with these trolls. You look better at 60 than they ever will. And they know it.
Scooby you look amazing, since you started youtube and now also! Don’t mind these illiterate haters, your true fans appreciate you exactly for who you are. Love the quarantine videos, we’re all stuck at home!!
Scooby you look amazing. If I was 60 and I looked like you I would be very happy. Much better than being a juice head and losing all your mass once you go off cycle
... and the depression that comes when you see a god-tier physique shrinking every day right before your eyes.
