    Yesterday I Introduced the whole family to your show on our living room TV & what an epic moment, the was a room for discussion, questions about places shown, entertainment sides etc & also questions directed to me about the beginning of your journey, happily I was able to answer questions but also to show that I've been watching your shows during work time 😂😂😂😂😂😂 the best part is you explaining things right at the intro while you drive, you were able to get every one off their smartphones quickly, i think a lot of youtubers lose us through a lengthy musical intro!!
