I have to smile everytime you mention me as part of your amazing channels origin story. Look how far you've come in just over two years. What you've built and what you have achieved is just outstanding!
You’re a paid RUclipsr - you’re your own businessman & entrepreneur. You are no longer a fucking work drone. You are not unemployed for 2 years. You hustled, improved and got good at it. This is your dream. This is your life. 😊
Awesome! I have met few of the RUclips creators that I follow in the Knife and Knife Sharpening communities, as well as the InfoSec community and Lockpicking community. Very awesome to meet people in person!
Kyle, thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve. You come across as a reasonable human, with a a good sense of humility. I am proud to be a fan since the early days. You put it all out there, and we love it. If you're ever in the NW, and need to borrow a guitar, HMU!
I've been watching your channel here and there for awhile now. This video is the one that got my subscribe. Absolutely fantastic story and results! I've often thought to myself "IF I put in as much effort for my channel as I do for my employer... Where would I be?" I worked 7 days a week for 2 years for this company and kicked ass, sacrificed work-life balance, always away from home staying in hotels or not getting home until late. How did they reward me? Demotion. Thankful to have a job, but what is the point of working for an employer that values politics over hard work, results and profits? Congrats to you and your journey! Incredibly inspiring for me and where I'm at!
I'm on the same bus about really wanting start to do the RUclips thing. I got a decent camera and great gear and the means to record my self, but I'm always afraid to fail and let my family down as a provider. so I continue to work jobs I don't like. I hope one day I can really just give it all my attention and go for it.
Your “awkwardness and relatability” is one of the main things I like about your channel Kyle! And I feel like I get an honest review of whatever you are playing that day. I bought one of your JCA 50h heads that I have really enjoyed, but I would have never purchased that head if it had not been for your demo. Keep on with the belligeration!!
Kyle, this is super encouraging for me right now pal. I've been trying to grow my channel and get my music out there, and I TOTALLY get what you're saying about not wanting to be on camera and feeling awkward. You've really inspired me to stay with it man. God bless you brother, and best of success to you.
You deserve it (and even more success). You are a great guy, honest, true to yourself and very relatable. Your channel is one of the best to get a real feel of how all this gear really sound like in simple setups and it is a very reliable source of information.. Thank YOU for bringing us all this great content.
Your videos are a godsend! It's rare I get to hear demos from someone who has so many of the same influences and plays in a similar style. Continue all the great work!!! 🤘
I feel like I'm walking in your footsteps and have taken a very similar path. I am determined to make the YT thing a full time "job" at some point. I feel that consistency is one of the keys to gaining traction with the algos, but its also a lot about having an engaging personality, which you certainly do. Keep rocking dude.
I’ve only been familiar with your channel for a couple months now Kyle but I really enjoy your channel and content. I’ve played guitar for over 35 years but was never a real gearhead for some reason. I’m older now, a dad, and I’ve finally gotten back into playing my guitar again after several years of not playing much. It makes me happy to reconnect with something I have always loved doing since I was 14 years old and I’m taking it all in now. I’m even trying to get to know gear for the first time and it’s been pretty overwhelming. Your channel has certainly proved helpful to me in learning a lot more about amps and sounds in general. So thank you Kyle for doing what you do I wish I could do something like that too someday. I’ll keep watching and learning bud.
Honestly man, if I’m ever looking to see what an amp really sounds like and get a feel for it’s full character. I ALWAYS see if you’ve done a demo first. You genuinely have one of the best channels for high gain guitar. It’s like sending a friend to try it for you, except that friend records it though a simple SM57 setup and gives you the raw audio. Plus records a video too. Haha. Invaluable man.
Played in a rad band with Ben before he was "uncle Ben" lol. Stand up dude and one of the sickest players out there. Also your channel is one of my favorites because you are just genuine and authentic. Keep it up dude.
Was it ARC by any chance? God damn I loved that band from the Harmony Central/Rig Talk days and never knew it was Ben. If it was that band then you guys were absolutely amazing and I wish you'd have released more material, it was so far ahead of its time
Wish you all the success my friend. Been watching you since almost the beginning. Love that you actually show us the unprocessed sound of the gear, which almost no one else does. Keep it up dude!
Kyle, you deserve everything that has come your way. It's pretty easy to see how much you care about what ya do. And, that translates to your audience having fun and at the same time receiving a wealth of knowledge about the gear you demo. I, personally, get a kick out of all your quirkiness, that is how I feel even more connected. You don't pretend to be somebody you are not. Continued success my friend.
I've known Ben Eller since the Harmony Central Amp Forum days! Dude is absolutely theee most helpful and sincerely delightful people ever! Good on you man! I love your content and your "awkwardness" is simply endearing as heck! Keep up the awesome work brodeo!
This so inspiring brother! I work a full time job, do full time online university, as well as try to make time for video content and my own music. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by everything and lose all of my drive and motivation to put out content, but videos like this give me that inspiration back! Best wishes to you bro and keep on keeping on, we love the content!
Really good to hear the other YT channels I watch support you with input and friendship....it reinforces the feeling I support "good people" ....keep working through your anxieties Kyle , stay humble , be just as generous to others in the community
Great video man. I especially like the smiles at the end. I love your honesty, and realness. I love all of your content. No bullshit, just straight ahead, info, and coolness. Great job man. Congratulations on continued success!!!!
Continue to grow, but do ALL you can to not change. For me it's your genuine honesty, being able to get on camera and admit your fear, actually takes tremendous courage. NOT transforming into some type of know it all douchebag or allowing any level of fakeness that we could all see through has been your saving grace. In my opinion. All I can say is Grow dont change. I hope that makes sense. Never become to comfortable. Love ya man. Michael Santucci. P.S. Getting an ltd viper 400 , black cherry for $235 is unheard of for me. Trust me I can negotiate. But below $350 I call a good deal, Below $300 I call a great deal. Even though it was beat up , $235 is a steal .. A little jealous, just being honest.
Congratulations on your success, well done brother. I wouldn't say you've been unemployed for two years because you're basically your own boss, I'd say you're more of an entrepreneur. I know this platform is an existing structure, but you've definitely taken risks and put in the work necessary to create something that has allowed you to thrive within this structure. That's definitely an accomplishment you should be proud of, you dug your heels in and made this happen. I enjoy the content and having the opportunity to check out all of the equipment you feature on your channel. You've earned this success, I hope things continue to go well for you in the future.
Yours is one of my favorite channels, and I love the efficient way you present yourself and the equipment you show for us! I have moat of the equipment I want, so far, but your channel shows me what I don't gave, whether it's for me or not, and what I can do and sounds like. My favorite thing other than the way you efficiently show what the equipment can do, is the gear I haven't heard yet or heard of yet. I got my Lichtlaerm Gehenna Distortion mostly on your review, and it was everything I saw in your video and more. Thanks!
Faq Yeah! Bring back Faq'in Fridays. Not that I ever asked many questions, but i liked watching them, you do good work. I would be lying if i didn't say I am jealous. I would love to be able to leave my job and do something like this and still make enough money to live, and be able to buy gear. I give you a lot of credit for jumping in headfirst. I think I stumbled upon you not to long after you started making vids, and right away i thought " huh this guys pretty good, relatable, seems sincere, very self deprecating", which i find funny, and the videos looked great. You do a good job of demonstrating products. I leave the video feeling like i actually have a good idea about that piece of gear now. Again I give you credit, what you did takes nerves, balls, and much more self confidence than I think you give yourself credit for.
Great community. Glad to see a band of brothers in action. All the folks you mentioned are very talented and humble. That’s why I watch all of you. Even Glenn. Kidding lol. Love that guy. Good on you for taking a leap of faith.
I'm glad a GAB-bro has made the leap and is seeing success on YT as many there talked about it yet you went and did it. It's good to see as pretty much every guitar forum ai have been a member of has produced the best guitar youtubers, from the Petrucciforum, Rig-talk and yourself I remember from GAB before I temporarily lost my mind thanks to being terminally online on Facebook during my existential crisis. All in all, congrats on "living the dream" as someone else had to so be grateful you are one of the lucky ones who gets to join in the fun.
I have only found your channel on the last month, but I'm here to stay. Love your attitude of just playing and having fun. Don't be conscious of your playing, it's great! The fact you love the art of the riff is a thing that helps you be unique from the other channels that feel the need to display lead chops in every video. 99.9% of us just sit and jam for the chug and groove, so you're more relatable this way🤟👊
Holy crap you are in logistics too Kyle!? I've been a Logistics manager but mostly an Analyst. I thoroughly enjoy kicking 3PLs to the curb once I expose the crazy markups on their reseller contracts to shippers! Tons of cost savings to be had when you beat them at their own game! The industry is booming now, but the higher level jobs are really cut throat and hard to get into. All the crappy sales and brokerage commission based positions only last so long then they kick YOU to the curb! Keep up the content Kyle. I too am awkward on camera. I got to get over that and post more of myself in front of the camera instead of behind. Cheers bud!
3PLs saved us a TON of money when I was doing the thing, but I was definitely in an 'ol boy industry, and I think a lot of our relationships relied on my company basically never pushing for better rates until my coworker and I took over
@@belligerentamateur exactly. I don't think many people realize how they make their revenue. Once that is exposed, then the real fun starts. I've seen 3PLs making hundreds of thousands of dollars simply by having their name on the BOL. The good ol boys didnt like when i shut off their gravy train of money. My company and I renegotiated with the carriers directly and wow the $$$ we saved in the first 2 years. Shippers need to step up and be more informed on how 3PLs make their money and apply it to their own business. 3PLs are there for the same reason the carriers are, to make money. Too much talent there and not enough at the shippers.
I think I found you on one of your Friday live streams. But I probably just subscribed last month. Really good easy to digest real world videos. Thank you. And thank you people.
Bro it was dope meeting you this past weekend. Wish I had a chance to chat more. But hey there will be more chances! Dude it’s such a cool community. I felt the same thing! Always so supportive.
I've been following you early on being a fellow Pennsylvanian. Your channel is definitely a go to when I want honest opinions about gear for hard rock-metal. There's a sea of options out there for those of us who still hook up a tube amp and like to crank up and people like you help us make informed decisions on gear without having to actually play it all. Keep up the great work!
I wanted too say! I'm very happy for you that you doing so good with this channel and enjoying what you do! I'm praying for you have many blessing on sharing those amps and guitars and good guitar playing that we all like! Rock on Man.
I'm glad you had a great experience at Sweetwater meeting your colleagues and that you're doing something you love. I've worked in video production for many years, and I really enjoy the quality of your content. I find your videos very informative, and I appreciate the service you provide. Keep up the great work, brother.
You're a good man, Kyle! I admire your humility. Don't trip on your anti-social hang-ups. What you've just experience is helping you grow. You still got this.
A wise man once said don't worry about being humble. Successful people aren't humble people. They can be grateful. Sure. When people say humble brag I laugh. Those same people that say that, aren't very humble. Believe me. They are out for themselves and nothing is wrong with that. You do you. We get you. We would be here if you are or aren't humble. It's about being authentic. You don't have to be humble to be authentic.
Been with you since you went full time RUclips. You helped me out so much with getting the most out of my Orange Super Crush head. I can't thank you enough. Your doing a great job.
Wow I remember when you first started & there weren’t many people who were subscribed. Remember when you would do the audio manually on the fly as you went along? You’ve done an awesome job! I hope it’ll become a bigger channel. Keep up the good work! 🤘🤘
You're doing great man, and can't tell you how much I relate to you on so many levels. Keep on truckin' and thank YOU for doing this and hooking us up with rocking ass content! Cheers brother! 🤘🏻🔥🍻
Kyle you're doing great I'm not a metal person but I find your videos informative and entertaining. Not everybody finds a job they enjoy so you keep doing what you're doing you're great bud😊
I binge watched all your FAQn Friday's a while ago and was pretty bummed when I ran out, I'd love for you to bring them back. Oh, and sorry, but I have to say it 😅 John Browne is in Monuments, not Architects. You deserve it bro you give us an honest review of gear, which a lot of people give us processed demos, which is making us believe these amps sound way better than they really do. Appreciate you, homie.
Keep kicking ass and I will keep watching. 🤘😎🤘 I would love to see you blending amp tones or series like that. Not too many people dive too deep into that. I think you are the man for the job. Keep up the great work!
Dude! You and your videos are awesome! And not to be a creep, but I stopped into Sweetwater on Friday (6/23/2023) since I was in town for a gig. I saw you, Ben, Pete Thorne, Henning, among others! It was like mini-NAMM and I joked that RUclips must be closed since all the content creators are at Sweetwater! Congratulations and keep it up! \m/
It's me the Taco fart overdrive guy.Kyle I am so behind you bro.I am many years older than you but one thing I might suggest is kinda following the footsteps of Max and The Bald shredder.I have a well paying job and can afford expensive equipment. Maybe you could help out the kids that can't afford high end stuff. You have a big influence on RUclips...You can tell me to piss off and I would be fine with it.This was a great clip to watch my friend.👍
You have the best content absolutely love this channel you always seem to answer all my questions without me asking you have inspired me to do more and be a better guitar player I've even started my own tik tok to do this thank you for all you time and hard work keep it up bro
Your awesome Kyle, such a genuine guy, and hilarious! I watch you on the regular now ever since I found you in my research for the perfect budget beginner guitar (still hunting I think, I have a project guitar I'm trying to find a neck for as well) Your Donner DMT 100 video had me rolling man. I have, of course, been researching amps as well and you have taught me so much on them now, thank you for your content! Is there a way I could send you a picture of my ghetto poor man rig, just because it's funny and works and you make me laugh all the time I want the chance too! Keep thrashing bro!
Ya gear fest is awesome, I loved going when I did. Such a good time. I’m glad ur taking it to the next level man. I like u wanted to do this same thing for years but had no idea how to start. So it’s awesome to see a local guy do it. Even tho I don’t think we’ve met in person, Jason is a good friend of mine, so in turn I fee like I’ve known ya for a while lol!!! But keep it up man! Props to u!
Thank you for doing what you do, you are amazing and awesome, no joke! I would really love to see more Crate amps reviewed, I have a Crate GFX-1200H and I love that amp!
You had a more fulfilling life outside of a regular employment I must say and, you met a lot of people you can vibe with. You managed to turn this RUclips thing of yours around and I suggest you keep going regardless of what happens.
Yeah, I mean guitar videos are cool but I LITERALLY DO AMPS. Good meeting you in person, finally. Glad you got fired, bro 🤘
Hey agufish , I'm a subscriber to your channel . I enjoy watching everything you put out . 👍😉
It was a pleasure, but let's avoid Pizza at all costs when we meet again
I have to smile everytime you mention me as part of your amazing channels origin story. Look how far you've come in just over two years. What you've built and what you have achieved is just outstanding!
I'd 100% support bringing back FAQ'n Fridays
You’re a paid RUclipsr - you’re your own businessman & entrepreneur.
You are no longer a fucking work drone.
You are not unemployed for 2 years.
You hustled, improved and got good at it.
This is your dream. This is your life. 😊
Your channel is one of the best because it’s not running thru all these IRs and stuff the real tone comes through the I phone itself
Awesome! I have met few of the RUclips creators that I follow in the Knife and Knife Sharpening communities, as well as the InfoSec community and Lockpicking community. Very awesome to meet people in person!
Kyle, thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve. You come across as a reasonable human, with a a good sense of humility. I am proud to be a fan since the early days. You put it all out there, and we love it. If you're ever in the NW, and need to borrow a guitar, HMU!
I’ve been playing almost 40 years dude and your my number #1 amp RUclips guy. Keep up the kick ass content, thanks from Australia 🇦🇺

I have coffee with you (almost) every morning... Keep it up, brother... Im here for it. 🤘
Thanks for sharing. Subbed.
Awesome man!! Great video. Love your channel…you deserve it all dude!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I feel that consistency is one of the keys to gaining traction with the algos, but its also a lot about having an engaging personality, which you certainly do. Keep rocking dude.
Got a new sub 🤟✌️
@@DurkheadIt will sound like a subwoofer in a crappy box. Depending on the sub, most require a much bigger box than most guitar cabinets
I’ve only been familiar with your channel for a couple months now Kyle but I really enjoy your channel and content. I’ve played guitar for over 35 years but was never a real gearhead for some reason.

You as well man! Keep killing it, you're doing great things!

Really good to hear the other YT channels I watch support you with input and friendship....it reinforces the feeling I support

Great video man. I especially like the smiles at the end. I love your honesty, and realness. I love all of your content. No bullshit, just straight ahead, info, and coolness. Great job man. Congratulations on continued success!!!!
Go Kyle go! wasn't expecting the ending part tho:))
Continue to grow, but do ALL you can to not change. For me it's your genuine honesty, being able to get on camera and admit your fear, actually takes tremendous courage. NOT transforming into some type of know it all douchebag or allowing any level of fakeness that we could all see through has been your saving grace. In my opinion. All I can say is Grow dont change.

Faq Yeah! Bring back Faq'in Fridays. Not that I ever asked many questions, but i liked watching them, you do good work.
I would be lying if i didn't say I am jealous.
I would love to be able to leave my job and do something like this and still make enough money to live, and be able to buy gear. I give you a lot of credit for jumping in headfirst. I think I stumbled upon you not to long after you started making vids, and right away i thought " huh this guys pretty good, relatable, seems sincere, very self deprecating", which i find funny, and the videos looked great.
You do a good job of demonstrating products. I leave the video feeling like i actually have a good idea about that piece of gear now.
Again I give you credit, what you did takes nerves, balls, and much more self confidence than I think you give yourself credit for.
Great community. Glad to see a band of brothers in action. All the folks you mentioned are very talented and humble. That’s why I watch all of you. Even Glenn. Kidding lol. Love that guy. Good on you for taking a leap of faith.
congratulations mate, love the channel.. you have carved out a nice little niche that no one else is doing quite the same way..🤘🤘🇦🇺
Buddy, you bust your ass as a content creator. You make wicked content and deserve all the success you have and that's coming in the future. 😁
Good stuff Thrash….time flies and you had a hand in that for me. Haha
Kyle , your a good guy ... I can relate to you . I enjoy watching you play all those boutique amps. Your honest , keep pumping out those videos . 😉
You’re the man k, big love as always
I'm glad a GAB-bro has made the leap and is seeing success on YT as many there talked about it yet you went and did it.
It's good to see as pretty much every guitar forum ai have been a member of has produced the best guitar youtubers, from the Petrucciforum, Rig-talk and yourself I remember from GAB before I temporarily lost my mind thanks to being terminally online on Facebook during my existential crisis.

You got out of the 5-6k subscriber hell that a lot of channels get stuck in.
Got my bachelors of process technology a month before pandemic lockdown. Still unemployed despite trainings, cv, you name it. Still trying.

3PLs saved us a TON of money when I was doing the thing, but I was definitely in an 'ol boy industry, and I think a lot of our relationships relied on my company basically never pushing for better rates until my coworker and I took over

Just subscribed based on Fluff’s words in the 5150 video! Totally relatable! Keep doing you!
Amazing story Keep up the great work
I've been following you early on being a fellow Pennsylvanian. Your channel is definitely a go to when I want honest opinions about gear for hard rock-metal. There's a sea of options out there for those of us who still hook up a tube amp and like to crank up and people like you help us make informed decisions on gear without having to actually play it all. Keep up the great work!
I wanted too say! I'm very happy for you that you doing so good with this channel and enjoying what you do! I'm praying for you have many blessing on sharing those amps and guitars and good guitar playing that we all like! Rock on Man.
Love your channel man, I hope to see your continued success!
It's getting harder and harder to find unbiased content. i get that here. keep it up.
Life is peaks and valleys! Tough times never last but tough people do. Keep rocking! 👍
I'm glad you had a great experience at Sweetwater meeting your colleagues and that you're doing something you love. I've worked in video production for many years, and I really enjoy the quality of your content. I find your videos very informative, and I appreciate the service you provide. Keep up the great work, brother.
Go, KB! Bring back FAQ'n Fridays!
Kyle, thank you for explaining how you became a full time youtuber. You are a YT community professional now. Keep it up!
You're a good man, Kyle! I admire your humility. Don't trip on your anti-social hang-ups. What you've just experience is helping you grow. You still got this.
Kyle, you do great work! Don't doubt yourself. Totally enjoy your content. Horns up! 🤘🤘
Thanks for all the great high gain toanz, Kyle. I've definitely found a lot of value in what you do with the amps.
you have my support bro
I envy you man! Dream job for sure playing around with all that great gear!
I follow your channel because you are the closes guitar demo guy that gets close to the melodichardcore, pop and skate punk music I listen to.
u have our support man, keep doing cool videos
A wise man once said don't worry about being humble. Successful people aren't humble people. They can be grateful. Sure. When people say humble brag I laugh. Those same people that say that, aren't very humble. Believe me. They are out for themselves and nothing is wrong with that. You do you. We get you. We would be here if you are or aren't humble. It's about being authentic. You don't have to be humble to be authentic.
Very good hangs my dude! You'll never be an inconvenience on my family
Whatever you say, DonDon FukFuk
Congratulations bro! You deserve it!
Been with you since you went full time RUclips. You helped me out so much with getting the most out of my Orange Super Crush head. I can't thank you enough. Your doing a great job.
Love that
I'm happy for your success. Thanks for sharing this side of you with the guitar community.
Wow I remember when you first started & there weren’t many people who were subscribed. Remember when you would do the audio manually on the fly as you went along? You’ve done an awesome job! I hope it’ll become a bigger channel. Keep up the good work! 🤘🤘
You're doing great man, and can't tell you how much I relate to you on so many levels. Keep on truckin' and thank YOU for doing this and hooking us up with rocking ass content! Cheers brother! 🤘🏻🔥🍻
You add a lot to the community, bro. I appreciate you!
Well good buddy . This Ben out in an hour and you got over 1k views 🎉🎉
Keep going, man. We appreciate and enjoy what you do. Cheers!
Kyle you're doing great I'm not a metal person but I find your videos informative and entertaining. Not everybody finds a job they enjoy so you keep doing what you're doing you're great bud😊
I binge watched all your FAQn Friday's a while ago and was pretty bummed when I ran out, I'd love for you to bring them back. Oh, and sorry, but I have to say it 😅 John Browne is in Monuments, not Architects. You deserve it bro you give us an honest review of gear, which a lot of people give us processed demos, which is making us believe these amps sound way better than they really do. Appreciate you, homie.
Keep kicking ass and I will keep watching. 🤘😎🤘 I would love to see you blending amp tones or series like that. Not too many people dive too deep into that. I think you are the man for the job. Keep up the great work!
So glad to hear that it's working out for you. An amazing achievement. 👍👍🤘🤘
I'm very stoked to hear you've found where you want to be. I hope to find that someday ❤️
Dude! You and your videos are awesome! And not to be a creep, but I stopped into Sweetwater on Friday (6/23/2023) since I was in town for a gig. I saw you, Ben, Pete Thorne, Henning, among others! It was like mini-NAMM and I joked that RUclips must be closed since all the content creators are at Sweetwater! Congratulations and keep it up! \m/
It's me the Taco fart overdrive guy.Kyle I am so behind you bro.I am many years older than you but one thing I might suggest is kinda following the footsteps of Max and The Bald shredder.I have a well paying job and can afford expensive equipment. Maybe you could help out the kids that can't afford high end stuff. You have a big influence on RUclips...You can tell me to piss off and I would be fine with it.This was a great clip to watch my friend.👍
Hey I didn't say stop rating High end equipment but lean over and help the kids out.
You have the best content absolutely love this channel you always seem to answer all my questions without me asking you have inspired me to do more and be a better guitar player I've even started my own tik tok to do this thank you for all you time and hard work keep it up bro
Your awesome Kyle, such a genuine guy, and hilarious! I watch you on the regular now ever since I found you in my research for the perfect budget beginner guitar (still hunting I think, I have a project guitar I'm trying to find a neck for as well) Your Donner DMT 100 video had me rolling man. I have, of course, been researching amps as well and you have taught me so much on them now, thank you for your content! Is there a way I could send you a picture of my ghetto poor man rig, just because it's funny and works and you make me laugh all the time I want the chance too! Keep thrashing bro!
Ya gear fest is awesome, I loved going when I did. Such a good time. I’m glad ur taking it to the next level man. I like u wanted to do this same thing for years but had no idea how to start. So it’s awesome to see a local guy do it. Even tho I don’t think we’ve met in person, Jason is a good friend of mine, so in turn I fee like I’ve known ya for a while lol!!! But keep it up man! Props to u!
Excellent video! Happy for your success 🤘
I've just subscribed to your channel.... humble support from France 🙂
All of this is awesome! And so are you! Love your content man!
Thank you for doing what you do, you are amazing and awesome, no joke! I would really love to see more Crate amps reviewed, I have a Crate GFX-1200H and I love that amp!
My favourite guitar RUclips channel. Keep it up dude.
You had a more fulfilling life outside of a regular employment I must say and, you met a lot of people you can vibe with. You managed to turn this RUclips thing of yours around and I suggest you keep going regardless of what happens.
Right on Kyle. Keep doing what you do bro.......
Really dig your channel, never disappoints. Keep 'em coming!!
Congrats Kyle! Keep up the great work! // Magnus, Gothenburg Sweden
You got a new subscriber here. Love your channel. Keep it up. Thanks for what you do…
