@@exocolt15while I think him turning it into that was smart for the location turning them into the exact opposite thing everyone at the bar wants was stupid cause they are just gonna immediately switch back
thats because they didn't take the actual good advice jon gave, which i dont blame them for because of how he treated them and how he tore down everything they worked for and destroyed all of their passion Also, even if it was a corporate area, who would go to a bar that reminds them of their soul crushing job (thats rhetorical obviously, no one would want that)
@@exocolt15 oh wow and who wants to go to a bar that reminds them of their job? Oh no one? Yeah Jon Taffer is a fucking moron who gets lucky witht he themes god i actually hate this show now
It's funny how Andy mentions Taffer being like, an actual calm person outside of the camera. I recall seeing one of the earliest episodes of Bar Rescue and Taffer just never screamed. He was so low energy, then I think the producers or someone saw Gordon Ramsay yell at people and how everyone loved it lmao
I think at one point, Gordon also wasn't a loud and mean person on camera. He started off on British Television where he was more calm, but when he moved on to American Television, to maintain viewers of his shows he had to get more loud and boisterous, revolving his shows around heavy competition and drama. Hence, how his persona is today. You can still see his calmer and kinder demeaner in the kid cooking shows he does/did.
@@BlurryNova In both instances of Master Chef, Ramsay is a lot calmer because one has kids, and the other has people who do cooking as a hobby or a passion, and want to take the next step. On Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen, it's a bit more personal for Ramsay because owning his own restaurants himself, he expects everyone to maintain some high standards, hence why he is often seen yelling. If you want to see what Hell's Kitchen is actually like, watch Hell's Kitchen Served Raw, which is basically raw footage with no edits, no dramatic stings, nothing. Just pure, unadulterated Ramsay. His demeanor is very different in the raw footage.
@ShelltoonTV1 ah, that makes sense. I didn't realize he had that many shows. I only knew of the Kitchen Nightmares and the one with the kids. I can see why he'd be more loud and strict for the show with people trying to get into the food industry now. I assumed the angry loud man persona was just for T.V
Blame Simon Cowell, as soon as TV producers realized that 'experts' being mean or yelling made good TV that was it. In TV land its all about the ✨️ drama ✨️
@@ShelltoonTV1You are missing the point. He still worked with adults in the industry in the british version, the american version of the same premise is where he started acting like a lunatic.
I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but I wanted to say: Chloe passed last year in August. She was a bit of a local legend in the scene in Austin, an actress, performer, and roller derby star under “Sacrilicious.” She was in the movie Whip It! Didn’t know her personally but as a young member of the alt scene in Austin I wanted her to be remembered this way too.
@@GoodTimeForARollgenuine question, what does you knowing about her passing when it's clear commenter wanted her memory to live on, disturb in your life? Like what is the issue here?
@@ggundercover3681genuine question as well, if the comment was "my grandmother died and she liked bar rescue" would it have the same relevance to the video?
I grew up playing in punk and Hardcore bands. We had to play at alot of places like this. Everyone hated it. And The owners were always amazed that Punks had standards. Sometimes it'd be big stuff like the PA or lighting systems not working. Sometimes it was weird stuff like none of the toilets working in the men's room. One time I played at a place in Massachusetts where the owner was doing dog fights in the basement during our set. The only upsides to shitty bars and clubs was: I was 15-17 years old and I got maaaaad free booze and cigarettes from these owners. Owners like this just wanna party but don't realize that if you party all the time, there's never any time to clean up
Just for the record... bars have something called pour spouts. We use those when opening a bottle to make it more efficient to pour a drink faster, than opening and closing a lid each time. So yes, liquor bottles are open. The pour spouts should be topped at night and sealed, though.
yeah i used to have to cover the pour spouts with cone cups when not in use after wiping them down but considering roaches can squeeze themselves into the smallest openings i’m not surprised that roaches got themselves into the bottles 🤢
@@ashegrey3042 Booze isn't going to cause Roaches. It will cause Fruit-Flies. Roaches is either you being fucking disgusting somewhere else, likely in the kitchen, the other businesses attached to yours having issues or some structural damage to the building. Perhaps a rotting Roof or Wall or Subfloor somewhere. If your bar is clean and tidy and decently lit, you'd be able to spot these problems. This one wasn't really any of this.
Isn’t Taffer the guy who said they should starve unemployed people so they’re more willing to work? “A hungry dog is an obedient dog.” I think the guy is just that angry and wild irl.
I'm a college student, and when I walk into a bar, there better be cockroaches and cat piss EVERYWHERE, or I'm leaving. That's just what the kids are into nowadays. /j
Feel like he heard some college kid say like "I don't want some sanitized corporate bar" or some shit like that and took that to mean they want the bar to literally be filthy
Crazy how that bar would have probably gone on to be successful if the owner wasn't a money hungry piece of crap who failed to pay his employees. At least we got Ted and Andy here to make us laugh at that guys downfall.
There's something about retired engineers becoming restauranteurs that never goes well. Worst place I've ever worked was owned by an ex-Intel engineer, worst boss I've ever had.
trust me man. They did not place a roach in that bottle. that very realistically can and does happen. Also: having been a bartender in the state of Texas, the legal minimum wage for service employees is $2.17/hour, which almost always goes directly to taxes. I've received .75 cent paychecks before that I throw out because they aren't worth my time to cash. It's seriously fucked up but this place is ABSOLUTELY not the only bar in Austin that treats their employees like this. Shit that's not the only bar on the block that does that.
@@goldensloth7 Part of the problem is that the legal minimum is that low due to the expectation of tips. If we didn't base it off of tips, service people may still not have a great wage, but it would be harder for terrible owners to take advantage of them by paying pennies and withholding tips.
@@aliceiscalling as someone from Europe it’s crazy for it to be depending on tips… here it’s obligatory for bosses to actually _pay_ them, tip is always ment to be something extra on top of your ordinary income
I woke up at 12 AM in a hotel when I was 10 years old and saw this episode and it traumatized me. I had no idea what I was watching. I thought it was real. Years later I see this and my trauma is resolved thank you.
ngl i LOVE shit like this, my city has a large fetish and local drag community so I feel lucky to get horror shows all the time (and even be invited to strip at them hehehe) some of the practical props do be hella nasty tho.
Bugs get into bottles all the time at bars. Bottles often have a pour spout screwed onto them, and if the bottles are not capped every night, bugs will go into them. Not saying that they are above staging bugs in bottles but it sure does happen.
Imma make a pirate themed bar with the entire goal to be awful. Like fake roaches in the bottles and just laying around the place. Maybe a pet rat somewhere to be seen but not actually near the customers or food. The goal is to cause as much confusion and anger to any inspectors as possible. Pouring out bugs from bottles and realizing they're just props.
NGL, you ever need an investor for this creation from hell I'm totally willing. Had a pirate themed bar in my town and it was the talk of the town, it really peaked during the Era of pirates of the Caribbean. Sadly it closed down during covid and the owners have said that they won't be re-opening due to "complications with inspections". I went a few times during its hay day and I never saw anything repulsive, well other then the first of april. Bastards had fake ice with plastic Flys in them, funniest shit!
I like how this guys version of “Fighting demons and lions everyday” is just him getting yelled at for not paying his employees anything and also getting yelled at for never cleaning the bar and having thousands of roaches everywhere lmao 😂 Yea man sounds like a rough life. Also I feel like you might have brought this on yourself and simply paying the employees and hiring someone to clean occasionally might help alleviate the issue here 🤷🏼♂️
The pouring spout used on bars (that bottle has a spout not a cap) are not closed since those are meant to help with production speed, so if you don't put the cap that comes with those spouts at the end of the night then bugs, especially small ones like baby roaches, ants and fly maggots, can sneak inside after they are attracted by the sugar content in booze (most alcoholic beverage has sugar in it, kind of hard to get ethanol without it). Hell, john even lampshades the 'production put the bugs in the bottle' bit when another owner tried that shit by pointing out just how timing consuming it would be to get them inside manually; capturing the bugs, slowly pushing them in, and of course letting the bugs decompose in the booze. So yeah, they could be staging it, there is always the possibility of it but as someone who has access to a fully equipped and stocked bar, i have seen this happen so i doubt they have reason to do it, it's not like bar rescue picks at random which bars they save.
Dude, maggots don't suddenly drop down upon things. Eggs have to be laid first then after some time they hatch. Fly maggots should never be given time to hatch ANYWHERE around food or drink. If they are you have a disgusting area.
@@novaangle2183 agreed but that is a given, eggs need to hatch so the maggots can crawl into the bottle looking for food. Unless i said that maggots eggs got dropped into booze as if the flies were making sweet, sweet love to those pouts, i don't understand why you bring that up
The best and most crazy thing I've ever heard Taffer say is, when a bar owner was about to leave because he was screaming at him, "IF YOU WALK OUT OF THAT DOOR, YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!"
Andy… PLEASE cover the episode ‘antisocial media’. My family knew the bar owner in that episode and boy was he arrogant like… he was so aggressive on social media while simultaneously sliding into the DMs of lonely moms to try to advertise his business (We know this cuz he did it to like three of my neighbors). It’s honestly an amazing watch ngl
There are so many wild episodes of Bar rescue. Ive seen one where a horse walks in a bar, a raccoon falls through the ceiling, family fights, the list goes on 😭😭
Isn’t that pretty good considering he’s only going to bars on the brink of failure already, and I can’t imagine the success rate of bars in general is that high.
@@icantthinkofagoodname.3983Yeah the stat is super misleading without context. Restaurants on KN fail within the first year 50% of the time and fail within the next five years 80% of the time. Taffer might be a *bit* nuts, but he gets undeniable results, especially compared to KN.
This place was called headhunters when I lived in Austin between 2013 and 2016. It very much catered to the underground EDM scene and a lot of us were underage and didn’t care that it was seedy and dirty, cause it meant nothing was really being scrutinized and we could get away with being there 😂
@@ndaynan I feel like that's a good chunk of Bar Rescue, like the pirate bar that had what little business it did *because* it was a pirate bar and he just made it a soulless corporate shell of its former self
the fucking roach gently swirling in the bottle made me laugh so hard for some reason, i can't get it out of my head dfghdgj great video! loved seeing ted on the channel, you two are super funny together :)
Also, leave your dad alone about not knowing area codes. Actually, 212 is the smallest area code I think in the country or in the state? I don’t know, but either way being within it is pretty coveted because it’s a fancy area of Manhattan or some shit? Am a NYC native but not in it so there you go.
Bar Rescue came to a bar down the block from my house and did an episode on it, afaik they’re still open and operating under the changes John made so thats pretty cool. One time a guy vomited outside the bar in the winter and they didnt clean it up for like a year
the human mind is truly fascinating, I never would have thought id be so obsessed with a youtube series about a deranged cocaine enjoyer reacting to bar rescue
As someone with an intense phobia of roaches, I had to just listen to this episode rather than watch it. This bar sounds like actual hell to me thank you for showing us this Andy
I love how Ted says "fine, but im pissed" after someone says anything he sightly disagrees with. The sassy man apocolypse is real and it is Ted Nivison.
Hey, honestly, for John Taffer kink bar to steampunk bar is a surprisingly good pivot. Like usually he's like "I see your passion is this weird theme and so I've designed you a bar that is not only not that theme but actually has no theme at all" but the venn diagram of steampunk aficionados and kinksters is like a stack of pancakes.
I can’t believe this guy did not pay his employees, that’s just so unbelievably strange how confident he was in running a business where no one could viably ever work for him, and then get offended when they ask to
So I was a working drummer in Austin during the 90's. I know that bar. I have played it. It has changed I see. Oh and they're still performing the show we started back then too. Cheers!!
has anyone told Andy yet about the episode where Jon straight up visits The Hub in the recon van to watch a public-fetish video that was filmed IN THE BAR. That one's a goody.
The cleanliness issues are obviously a problem, but his objections to the outfits is just priggish and it is absolutely hilarious how he's never heard of Heavy Metal or fetish before.
A someone that worked in over a dozen restaurants and food establishments, the bars on Bar Rescue are NOT the dirtiest places I've seen. All of this filth is believable.
Well, John is a super right-wing ultra conservative. So, I would guess he is actually that angry in real life too. 😂 Actually, I think he just did an interview with Fox this year, bragging about being a shit employer and complaining that no one wants to work, and he sounded the same. Not as screamy... but definitely same level of anger.
I think the bugs are getting in the bottles bc the bartenders aren’t switching out the spouts they use to pour with for the original tops. Meaning the they’re open all night
Every day Andy gets closer and closer to my favorite YT family tree. Praying for that Kurtis Connor collab next, or Danny, or Drew - oh oh, Andy and Eddy would just be **chef kiss**
Literally just finished rewatching some of Ted's old videos but didn't have my glasses on when I clicked on this so I didn't see him in the thumbnail so Imagine My Shock and Delight when he was revealed as the guest lol
7:59 Hi, dunno if this will ever be seen but I work in a kitchen with an ant problem, it just becomes tiring to just try to fix symptoms of the problem rather than having management hire an exterminator. Doesn't matter if you removed the roaches from the drinks if they just get back in there and they don't get rid of the roach problem, yknow
I've been watching Andy since very early Mud Consumer and seeing him collab with Ted Nivison, arguably one of the biggest names in commentary, is fucking awesome. Like Ted, Eddy, Drew, Danny, Chad Chad, Jarvis, Jordan, Kurtis, and Jakey are the BIG big commentary names as far as I know. And Ted doesn't do a lot of collabs on other people's channels.
glad i scrolled the comments and found someone mention the retention quote the end bit of the vid is my favourite (besides andy callin the dude a roach and 'hot frog angle') and it really was such excellent ice sounds 10/10 clinks
To be fair, Austin's whole MOTTO is "keep austin weird". One of the biggest seasonal things there is watching BAT MIGRATIONS. Austinites are fucking odd.
“How do cockroaches even get in the bottles” Have you seen bugs? They can do this neat little trick called “climbing almost anything”. So if they smell something flavorful, like alcohol or mixes, they’ll just…. climb in….. it’s neat And not if it doesn’t have a cap, a lot of times bottles will be capped with pour spouts, giving plenty of access to bugs
IMO this is the best video either Ted or you have ever worked on. Your chemistry was perfect, guys. And you're both awesome at this. But like, together, you're Gojita.
this guy is like "i fight lions, i fight demons" and the lions and demons in question are just labor laws and also OSHA

@@novaangle2183 agreed but that is a given, eggs need to hatch so the maggots can crawl into the bottle looking for food. Unless i said that maggots eggs got dropped into booze as if the flies were making sweet, sweet love to those pouts, i don't understand why you bring that up
It's kinda weird seeing the bar retain a personality after the renovations
The best and most crazy thing I've ever heard Taffer say is, when a bar owner was about to leave because he was screaming at him, "IF YOU WALK OUT OF THAT DOOR, YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!"
As Andy said in the first episode "you think Jon taffer doesn't know people, get real"
Bar rescue is in the background of all of my nightmares.
Andy… PLEASE cover the episode ‘antisocial media’. My family knew the bar owner in that episode and boy was he arrogant like… he was so aggressive on social media while simultaneously sliding into the DMs of lonely moms to try to advertise his business (We know this cuz he did it to like three of my neighbors). It’s honestly an amazing watch ngl
There are so many wild episodes of Bar rescue. Ive seen one where a horse walks in a bar, a raccoon falls through the ceiling, family fights, the list goes on 😭😭
Please tell me the name of the raccoon episode, I need to watch it now
@lizard3755 Haha it's a funny one for sure. Season 3 Episode 30 "Critters and quitters" 😭
Fun fact:
Bar Rescue only has a 48% success rate.
Honestly that’s way higher than I would have guessed
Isn’t that pretty good considering he’s only going to bars on the brink of failure already, and I can’t imagine the success rate of bars in general is that high.
I could be wrong but didn’t kitchen nightmares only have like less than 40% success rate?
@@icantthinkofagoodname.3983Yeah the stat is super misleading without context. Restaurants on KN fail within the first year 50% of the time and fail within the next five years 80% of the time. Taffer might be a *bit* nuts, but he gets undeniable results, especially compared to KN.
This guy doesn’t need a bar anymore tbh. It’d be pretty fucking funny if all he did was call the health inspector and leave. What a power move
This place was called headhunters when I lived in Austin between 2013 and 2016. It very much catered to the underground EDM scene and a lot of us were underage and didn’t care that it was seedy and dirty, cause it meant nothing was really being scrutinized and we could get away with being there 😂
"The first step in getting this bar up to snuff is... the.. bare minimum... W2's"
These two guys are the same guy but baked differently
The physical embodiment of what happens when you put almond milk instead of 2% milk in a cookie recipe
I love this episode's contention that the residents of Austin TX would be turned off by a weird alternative bar
Half this episode is John shitting on a subculture he doesn't understand
If there is one thing that the people of Austin will not stand for, it is weirdness.
UTUBETROLLPOLICE IS BETTER,
@@toomanybrews7123as they say in their famous slogan “KEEP AUSTIN FROM BEING WEIRD!”
@@ndaynan I feel like that's a good chunk of Bar Rescue, like the pirate bar that had what little business it did *because* it was a pirate bar and he just made it a soulless corporate shell of its former self
I like the chaos expressed in this collab. Makes my ADHD brain super pleased.
the fucking roach gently swirling in the bottle made me laugh so hard for some reason, i can't get it out of my head dfghdgj great video! loved seeing ted on the channel, you two are super funny together :)
its reminiscent of the spinning cockroach meme
Can't wait for Ted's next big video "Visiting every bar from Bar Rescue"
this was a great time meeting your dad andy
That’s actually his dad?
@@PrinceJ39yes.
UTUBETROLLPOLICE IS BETTER,
Also, leave your dad alone about not knowing area codes. Actually, 212 is the smallest area code I think in the country or in the state? I don’t know, but either way being within it is pretty coveted because it’s a fancy area of Manhattan or some shit? Am a NYC native but not in it so there you go.
Bar Rescue came to a bar down the block from my house and did an episode on it, afaik they’re still open and operating under the changes John made so thats pretty cool. One time a guy vomited outside the bar in the winter and they didnt clean it up for like a year
I think it’s safe to say Tapher is every kind of -ist, especially IRL.
Evolutionist…creationist…Manist…TIMEIST!!!
MARXIST
How?

the owner is like ''I'm fighting demons" and the demons are not paying to his employees
the roach in a bottle is in fact possible, you would be surprised how often they get left open
the human mind is truly fascinating, I never would have thought id be so obsessed with a youtube series about a deranged cocaine enjoyer reacting to bar rescue
As someone with an intense phobia of roaches, I had to just listen to this episode rather than watch it. This bar sounds like actual hell to me thank you for showing us this Andy
sameee and i was eating i was just sitting here w my eyes closed looking like an idiot😂
Been refreshing RUclips furiously for weeks waiting for a Bar Rescue update. Thank you Andy thank you Ted
I used to work at Fred Meyer. When Kroger bought out Safeway and Albertsons, they didn’t pay our store along with a few others. So we sued them
I love how Ted says "fine, but im pissed" after someone says anything he sightly disagrees with. The sassy man apocolypse is real and it is Ted Nivison.
the way andy and ted riffed off each other in this vid had me actually crying laughing - subbed to both now
is he gonna make you go to every bar in the US?
Ah ah ah, and Canada
We're liver haters
It's so nice of you to help out small creators like Television. Hopefully this helps him get a few subs!!
"Three dashes of orange bitters..."

Hey, honestly, for John Taffer kink bar to steampunk bar is a surprisingly good pivot. Like usually he's like "I see your passion is this weird theme and so I've designed you a bar that is not only not that theme but actually has no theme at all" but the venn diagram of steampunk aficionados and kinksters is like a stack of pancakes.
I can’t believe this guy did not pay his employees, that’s just so unbelievably strange how confident he was in running a business where no one could viably ever work for him, and then get offended when they ask to
So I was a working drummer in Austin during the 90's. I know that bar. I have played it. It has changed I see. Oh and they're still performing the show we started back then too. Cheers!!
actually i live in austin & we loooooove bars with mold & roaches tbh like if i go to a bar & its clean??? i'm out of there. bring on da bugs!
“Keep Austin roach infested,” that’s what I always say. Real austinites know that if your shoes don’t stick to the floor it’s just not a good bar
has anyone told Andy yet about the episode where Jon straight up visits The Hub in the recon van to watch a public-fetish video that was filmed IN THE BAR. That one's a goody.
Oh I need him to see that
The cleanliness issues are obviously a problem, but his objections to the outfits is just priggish and it is absolutely hilarious how he's never heard of Heavy Metal or fetish before.
A someone that worked in over a dozen restaurants and food establishments, the bars on Bar Rescue are NOT the dirtiest places I've seen. All of this filth is believable.
bar rescue when a bar caters to an audience that isn’t him: 😡🤬🤬😡🤬😡
i love calling john taffer just "bar rescue". his name is yakuza type beat
Fancy Bar Consulting sounds like a business on Spongebob.
Andy and Ted have better teamwork capabilities than the whole bar
I can't get over the experts being introduced like dlc characters 😂😂
so lovely of your older brother to join you in this video
My biggest flex is that now I have a matching hoodie with Ted Nivison
Well, John is a super right-wing ultra conservative. So, I would guess he is actually that angry in real life too. 😂
Actually, I think he just did an interview with Fox this year, bragging about being a shit employer and complaining that no one wants to work, and he sounded the same. Not as screamy... but definitely same level of anger.
Yea he said “a starving dog is an obedient dog” in reference to people out of work due to the pandemic
I've always referred to him as Jon "The Snapper Turtle" Taffer. I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees him as reptilian.
i went through a phase (like a week ago) where i watched this series every day and im so glad there’s more episodes because it gets so repetitive
I think the bugs are getting in the bottles bc the bartenders aren’t switching out the spouts they use to pour with for the original tops. Meaning the they’re open all night
Ted and Andy look like cousins that are the protagonist of like a holiday film
andy’s uploads got me kicking all my legs like a dying roach 😮💨
Every day Andy gets closer and closer to my favorite YT family tree. Praying for that Kurtis Connor collab next, or Danny, or Drew - oh oh, Andy and Eddy would just be **chef kiss**
Rumor is Ted broke Andy’s knees after recording this video
Literally just finished rewatching some of Ted's old videos but didn't have my glasses on when I clicked on this so I didn't see him in the thumbnail so Imagine My Shock and Delight when he was revealed as the guest lol
He's following you. There's no escaping.
The collaboration we didn't deserve but knew we needed
As a member of the body mod community, love a good suspension act
7:59 Hi, dunno if this will ever be seen but I work in a kitchen with an ant problem, it just becomes tiring to just try to fix symptoms of the problem rather than having management hire an exterminator. Doesn't matter if you removed the roaches from the drinks if they just get back in there and they don't get rid of the roach problem, yknow
I need more Andy and Ted collabs 😂 I was giggling like crazy
I've been watching Andy since very early Mud Consumer and seeing him collab with Ted Nivison, arguably one of the biggest names in commentary, is fucking awesome. Like Ted, Eddy, Drew, Danny, Chad Chad, Jarvis, Jordan, Kurtis, and Jakey are the BIG big commentary names as far as I know. And Ted doesn't do a lot of collabs on other people's channels.
What gets me is that the bars that he goes into are full of people and seem really busy
8:58 “i’m about to fuckin break ya knees because I almost drank a fauckin roach 🤌”
This show has made me go to my county health department website, look at my city, and the places I frequent…SO MANY CRITICAL VIOLATIONS 😫🙃
“I’m gonna ruin your retention” 😂
The ice sounds were so soothing though!
glad i scrolled the comments and found someone mention the retention quote the end bit of the vid is my favourite (besides andy callin the dude a roach and 'hot frog angle') and it really was such excellent ice sounds 10/10 clinks
my favorite bit is wasting Graham's time
When I tell you I squealed in joy when ted came on screen I knew this video is going to be so funny
To be fair, Austin's whole MOTTO is "keep austin weird". One of the biggest seasonal things there is watching BAT MIGRATIONS. Austinites are fucking odd.
No wait go.back to the ice clanking cup sounds that was making my head happy 😭😭
When Ted makes the drink 😱
That’s the show! I want so much more of that
“How do cockroaches even get in the bottles”
Have you seen bugs? They can do this neat little trick called “climbing almost anything”. So if they smell something flavorful, like alcohol or mixes, they’ll just…. climb in….. it’s neat
And not if it doesn’t have a cap, a lot of times bottles will be capped with pour spouts, giving plenty of access to bugs
For some reason I loved this show as a kid and this was my favorite episode 💀
I can't get over how uncanny the resemblance between Steve and Willem Dafoe is
we need another collab with this guy! he’s hilarious!!
IMO this is the best video either Ted or you have ever worked on. Your chemistry was perfect, guys. And you're both awesome at this. But like, together, you're Gojita.
This collab is sheer perfection
Glad I can watch an Andy King video! Ever since his guest broke my knees I’ve been in bed unable to walk
