Hello, is it funny sometimes receiving drawings/paintings of you from your fans? I’m sure you get a chuckle occasionally. Anyway, RUclips is getting a little ridiculous for sure. Hopefully you can manage to keep doing this for years to come..
Sorry to hear about the demonetization. my family and I will support anyway we can toward your channels . TRUTH , LOGIC and WISDOM cannot be bought with the 👁️ pyramid on the back of a piece of paper 💵 Thanks, RB 🤍☀️🕊️
Sorry to here about the demonetization. RUclipss reputation when it comes to this kind of stuff is getting worse by the year. I appreciate the fact that you won’t censor yourself when it comes to trivial things and aren’t afraid to talk about import things as well. Much love and keep up the great work John.
@@KiddKoalaz Hard to tell. RUclips has instituted new, arbitrary policies on January 3rd that are demonetizing full channels and certain videos from some channels (suppose automation is part of the problem here too). One of the first high profile victims, RTGame, made a video about it called "RUclips is Restricting My Content" and his story shows just how arbitrary and shady this all is. Have a look at it if you're interested, specially the part where he goes over his contact with youtube and trying to understand and getting a fair resolution to the issue but actually getting screwed harder just by getting into contact with them. The most insane part of this all is retroactive demonetization based on the new rules, it doesn't matter how old the video is. The official line seems to be to make it more 'suitable' (censored) for all audiences but it's mostly about making it as corporate and squeaky clean as possible for advertisers and keeping a bigger piece of that pie for themselves. RUclips will still put ads on the demonetized videos and profit from it without having to pay the creators that are unlucky enough to get sniped by this. You can also check Penguinz0's video "Huge RUclips Change Just Ruined Many Channels".
Just wanted to say hi, I'm just a boring lady making an egg sandwich listening to your show. I thought you might read my message one day... If I could just say one thing to you after all these years of listening to you, I'd like to say thanks. Sometimes I listen to your content when I am lonely and you are kind of like a friend to me. Sometimes I listen to you after a bad day and hearing your voice grounds me somehow. IDK why I am crying as I type this because I have to eat my sandwich! Love you always! Katrina
I'm glad to hear you recognize how many lives you've affected around the world. I myself and truly grateful for your content and look forward to the next 12 years. You're amazing my friend! 💜💜💜
Very well put Shannon. I feel his voice is like a balm for people who are so tired of the rude and vulgar language we hear too much today. I thank John for being here for us.
You're just so wonderful and you ARE special. You help the world through your wholesomeness, and your wholesomeness comes from your unassuming nature and integrity. You show people that they can be true to themselves in their own special way and the world needs that. We love you!
Gosh, Brah, you got me so emotional in the first part of this podcast!! 🥹 Your gratitude towards your viewers and listeners feels so sincere, humble and personal. You, Sir, are the perfect example of how it pays back to persevere and to stay your genuine self despite all the naysayers and the bullies that could have ruined this project for you a long time ago. And for that, you have my deepest and sincerest respect and admiration. You are indeed one heck of a inspiration to us all, from the young teenager who is unsure of who they are and of their place in the world, to us adults of all walks of life. I hope you’ll go on being our beloved Reviewbrah for years and years to come!! 🫶
So glad to hear about the possibility of more frequent vorw podcasts. I enjoy your videos, but really enjoy your radio show, and love love your podcast. Long form John is the best, plus you only get more interesting the older you get, unsurprisingly I guess, but you started so young that you definitely grew into it. Having that life experience and countless hours of random reading and research is necessary, you've been at a great level for a while now and it's only getting better.
You sir are an inspiration. Been going through some tough times at work, thinking about jumping ship after 15 years, but you gave me a new perspective to maintain the course. Things will get better.
21:46 I just wanna say man, I listen to your podcast everynight and it helps me sleep. I really appreciate what you do for us, your fans. Keep going strong Reviewbrah. You are a gem.
Really glad that you never gave up, mate. That's the way to be. I'm a 48 year old businessman, a hisband to a beautiful wife and father of four kids. Believe me, we face GREAT challenges, especially as an interracial family trying to leave Hong Kong. I find great value in what you have to offer. You really are excellent. Never give up and never give in.
Keep up the good work John I and I'm sure many other people look forward to these talk sessions. And your views about not just this country but worldwide you also have a good sense of humor in case you didn't know that.
I’m glad you didn’t “walk away” from it all. Your insight and attitude are calming in a world filled with stressors. However, I understand why you would feel this way. Thank you for sticking with it to the benefit of those of us who truly appreciate your effort and kindness.🥲
Thank you for all your hard work with the reviews and these segments! :) I've been listening to these segments while driving my truck at work. Perfect content for the road!
Wow, your voice on radio is so unique. This is, I think, my first time hearing you off of your main channel and on radio. Wished I could have heard you tonight
An amazing podcast! I always enjoy listening to your YT anniversary commentary and congratulations!. Understandably it was not easy to go through everything you had to deal with at such a young age. I am inspired by your content and I admire your dedication, persistence, consistency and strong will of character which are the source of your success! You are a person with good values, you stay true to yourself, a great sense of humor, just an overall unique personality... charming and charismatic, and that to me is special, these are all of the characteristics that make me want to listen to what you have to say. I love listening to your thoughts on the variety of topics and the tone and cadence of your voice is so soothing and helps me to relax. I'm so glad you decided to continue with YT and not throw in the towel. Your podcasts, radio shows and food reviews bring me much joy. Wishing you many more years creating content and doing what you enjoy doing in life! You are much loved! ❤
I just love the way you speak so elegant as if you were a 1950s gentleman...or sometimes even an early Edwardian gentleman which is even cooler! 😊 I'm not sure but your attire does play a part into it. You seem kind, intellectual and fun to be around with. Good content by the way! Besos from Mexico xx
If you think you may not matter hear this. My long distance friend and I were estranged several years ago due to stoopid petty political differences. I missed her so much. After I started watching your reviews I decided to e-mail her to tell her there was this hilarious guy on youtube doing fast food reviews and had she seen you. To my surprise she hadn't but decided to look. She is such a fast foodie lover. She wrote back saying she had the best time watching your episode. From then on she was on your channel like pineapple on pizza and we talked and laughed about your dry sense of humour. Since then we are in touch sharing anything that is not political! So you see, you made a difference in 2 people's lives and for that I will never be able to thank you enough.🍔🍕❤
12 years podcast- You are definitely a mentor for me. And as much as I love your podcasts and your reviews, most of us just want you to have peace & happiness. I would be sad if all of this went away, but I'm so grateful for all of the videos that you have done. And most of us would make a safety chain with our bodies to protect you from anybody. A big one, so you can have plenty of space. I hate that has happened to you. Even tiny channels get threats. I know a girl who has a pretty big channel, not nearly as big as this one, but pretty big, and I ask her how does she deal with the threats.. And she said she just ignores them. I'm like... how in the world!?!? And another girl I loved also had a pretty big channel, cooking and makeup et cetera, and out of the blue she just disappeared. She even deleted her insta. 😔 from hateful comments. I've only been in little earthquakes. But I was in the eye of hurricane Katrina while I was pregnant with my 17 year old. That was terrifying.
Have listened to this podcast twice so far and will probably listin once or twice more before sending you an email. I have several things to share which you and the listeners may be interested in. If not for whatever reason its not included in a future show, no matter. The action of putting pen to paper so to speak and write it down all be it via the electronic mail, is testament of you having a positive effect. You make a big difference to alot of peoples lives. I may not always agree with you on some things, but I respect your opinion and think free speech is becoming far more expensive than any consumables we may find in short supply. Keep doing what makes you happy, if you tube is demonetising or censoring there are alternative platforms to explore but I know the biggest audience is still here, so better the devil you know sometimes. Funny stuff about the masks you can't win sometimes😄😄😄
Of course there’s been a decline in fast food quality. Pizza Hut for a fact used to make their pan pizza dough in house, now it comes frozen. They used to serve it in a cast iron skillet! Pizza Inn, a chain almost dead now, used to use large, silver metal pizza ovens. Now they use conveyor belt style junk. Taco Bell had delicious crispy tacos with fresh lettuce and toppings, now it’s a soggy mess like from a dumpster. McDonalds Apple Pies were bubbly, crispy, deep fried and delicious, now they’re chewy leathery crap. I could go on and on. It’s all gone to hell.
Lol that is so funny that the listener from the Netherlands went to the aisle expecting the shelves to be empty of toilet paper but instead it was packed full. I remember the shelves were bare for quite a long time so I also ordered from from Amazon. The cool thing about that toilet paper was that there wasn't even a cardboard roll in the center, it was all just made of paper. Seems like a good way to conserve paper products compared to having the cardboard part in the center.
it's funny how the "causing shortage trying to prepare for shortage" thing is like a bank run for normal people. the run on svb (rich people pulling their money out like "i've got to get my money out before everyone else does. gosh i wouldn't have to do this if everyone else wasn't doing it") that's been in the news recently reminded me so much of the covid panic-buying.
It's not nostalgia because even 10 years ago (which has no nostalgia factor for me)..places were way better than now many times over. Not as good as 20 years or more ago, but still MUCH MUCH better than now.
Censorship is just a regular part of the age we live in. Heaven forbid you offend anyone. Keep talking about whatever you want to and thank you for combating this age of censorship we live in!

Yay, another podcast, I'm so excited!. I can't wait to listen and relax after my work shift!
Thank you John! Also the time stamps are appreciated. ❤

What was the reason for his demonetization? Just subbed to his channel right now.

So glad to hear about the possibility of more frequent vorw podcasts. I enjoy your videos, but really enjoy your radio show, and love love your podcast.

Much Love, many Blessings and max Gratitude ReviewBrah🤩💖✌️🌎🥰🤗
Congrats! Review Brruh
Steadily waiting for the new one to come out. Come on review brah!
Radio will never die, It can't, It is one way of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Funny stuff about the masks you can't win sometimes😄😄😄
I'm going to make a point to donate soon

Keep up the good fight, speak your mind don’t let the man keep you down. ❤
Happy birthday to me!!!
Happy birthday to u.
Happy birthday to u.
I'm laughing so much listening to reviewbrah describing that bat meal at the end 😂
No amount of garnish is going to improve a fur covered entree.
This is good content to hear your thoughts on things; consider doing more of this type of content
Lol I was watching the Walking Dead in bed alone about 2am and a small quake hit. Scared the crap out of me.
No idea but I love watching this when I'm going to sleep :)
He brings hope in humanity.
My ASMR is back!!
Waiting for it to upload to Spotify, before I listen.
I quit fast food because of the increase in price and the decrease in the quality of both the food and service.
I would love to hear hear this on AM radio
Lol that is so funny that the listener from the Netherlands went to the aisle expecting the shelves to be empty of toilet paper but instead it was packed full.

Good evening.
Hello there!
it's funny how the "causing shortage trying to prepare for shortage" thing is like a bank run for normal people. the run on svb (rich people pulling their money out like "i've got to get my money out before everyone else does. gosh i wouldn't have to do this if everyone else wasn't doing it") that's been in the news recently reminded me so much of the covid panic-buying.
Hey man - might i suggest you make the image in the background of this video a t-shirt design? it's really cool, I'd buy one. thanks.
John- we need a new podcast- you’re way behind my fiend!
It's not nostalgia because even 10 years ago (which has no nostalgia factor for me)..places were way better than now many times over. Not as good as 20 years or more ago, but still MUCH MUCH better than now.
