I just subscribed to your channel. I was not that much into sports but my husband watched you and Michael on ESPN. One day I came into the room I liked what your were talking about. I started to watch. We were upset ESPN cancelled your. It was not right. I am glad I found you. Looking forward to your next video.

Love this! I relate so much to it as a Nigerian growing up in church. The most judgmental set of people 😭😭also most of my Nigerian church experience was seeing how Nigerians try to out dress each other every Sunday
