    As a Broadway fan/someone who works in the industry, Jonathan Groff is THE BEST! It has been a pleasure to see such a wonderfully talented nice guy get the recognition he deserves.

    A condo is like an apartment that you own. They're usually much nicer than apartments. It's like, a house that's inside of a high rise building in a city rather than a standalone building.

      @@AStoryWorthTelling I know you are always looking for more content for your channel and that you sometimes react to music. Have you heard of Superfruit? They are the two gay men in the a cappella group Pentatonix. They started their own side channel and call themselves Superfruit. Their channel has vlogs, challenges and music videos that I think you would enjoy. They have some songs partnered with Todrick Hall as well. They have a HUGE following and I think if you reacted to some of their content it would bring you new subscribers. They have a very loyal fan base. Just a suggestion ☺️.

    Woo! I’m excited that you guys are loving this show! It’s funny that Alex said he can relate to the characters because if I remember correctly, when the show originally came out, the gay community wasn’t super welcoming to it. I think because they didn’t like the portrayal, but not 100% sure though.

    I just recently saw this show for the first time when someone else was reacting to it, and though at times I had to push myself to watch it because it made me a bit uncomfortable, I was always glad I had watched it, and found I liked it more as the show went on. It does remind me a lot of the American version of Queer As Folk. I can’t honestly say that I relate to the characters or feel very represented by them, because my life has been fairly atypical of most gay men, I think. But I see how it could very much be relatable to a lot of gay men.

High quality people are hard to find and the good ones always worth the effort.

    Just had to answer your question here (not sure if anyone told you), but an "Apartment" is when you rent a unit in a building, so you have a landlord and you normally sign a One Year lease, and you pay monthly (here in Canada, a two-bedrooms apartment can go from $800 to 1.6k a month, depending on the area); whilst a "Condo" even though it is also a unit in a building, the difference is that you own it, so you bought it for let's say 300k + extra fees for the Condo Association or whatnot. Don't know which one you'd call a flat in the UK, but thought i'd let you know hahah

    You don't have condos in the UK? It is a flat but you buy it to own as part of the larger building and have to pay a fee like a rent to manage the common areas and costs. They're typically considered a poor substitute for housing ownership compared to single-family homes.
