    Will telling everyone to sub to Ciarán was genuinely the best shout he’s ever made, top tier stuff on this channel

    • @SeanShimamoto
      @SeanShimamoto 4 года назад +12

      Yup! I’ve seen some wankers saying that Ciarán only has 300K subs because of Will...but I beg to differ.
      Ciarán joined Will’s team almost a year ago, and since then, Ciarán’s skills at editing, his magnetic personality, his honesty and bluntness, his intelligence, and his brilliant sense of humour all contributed to building a brotherly rapport with Will...a rapport that was so clear and evident to the rest of us, so when Will DID do his shout out...about 165K (started 2020 at 25K to 190K) of us had already subscribed to Ciarán over the last year...and it was a no-brainer for the next 135K (from 190K to 325K). 😁

      I think people would be surprised at the rent amounts here in Honolulu...and whilst they’re a tad lower, 8% lower, than in London...the overall cost of living here is quite a bit higher...groceries are the biggest difference. In most expensive cities around the world, people have the option to venture outside of those cities for more affordable options...but everything in Hawai’i is expensive since it needs to be shipped here. Hehe. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy seeing some comparisons. Since I’m just used to paying these prices, I’ve never thought of them as being “expensive”...but after watching a lot of UK content over the past couple of years, and hearing London citizens talking about how expensive groceries and food are...it was really fascinating seeing how much they’ve been paying.
      www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+States&city1=Honolulu%2C+HI&country2=United+Kingdom&city2=London
      I really want to visit the UK one day...but not so much London. I’d love to go to Wales, Scotland, NewCastle, etc. and see the actual United Kingdom. Everyday, growing up as a child, I saw the Union Jack 🇬🇧 on the wall in our classrooms...but a slightly different version. Back in the early 1800s, the Hawaiian monarchy used to go to London and would study at University...and because of this friendship, the Hawaii State Flag is the only American State Flag which bears the flag of a foreign country. I hadn’t even noticed another remnant until I moved away from Hawaii to the mainland...the other 49 states say “trash” or “garbage”...so everyone would give me a strange look whenever I’d ask them, “where’s the rubbish bin?” Apparently we also say “...yeah?” at the end of our sentences as well, again, something that many of my compatriots have pointed out to me. Oh, and don’t get me started on the weird looks my compatriots give me when I greet a lady with a friendly embrace and a kiss on the cheek! They think that’s so bizarre...but that’s how most of us were raised in Hawai’i. In general, we’re a lot more physical than our compatriots...when blokes greet each other here, it’s usually a handshake with a quick hug.
      Anyway, sorry for the novel. I hope u and ur ohana are staying safe and healthy during this pandemic. Much love and aloha from Honolulu! 😁❤️🤙🏽🌈☀️ (just symbols of Hawai’i)
