4M Subscriber Q&A - #1040

I hit 4 million Subscribers on YouTube!!

To celebrate, I asked for questions from YouTube, X, and Instagram, so here’s another 90ish minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible.

Expect to learn what’s new with my new haircut, how much longer until the new studio is built, if or when an Andrew Tate episode will be released, the most recurring thoughts I have when I feel sad and or disappointed sometimes, and why I think this occurs, the most favourite thing about myself, and much more…
