    Joe and Hana in the back seat... Ya know the shenanigans are brewing! Lol!
    I often forget Taiwan is my dream country because of this! They are as into Milk as I am!!! Hahaha! Oh damn! That is an amazing "thing" over there! Joe actually inspired me to travel next year or maybe '26, and not just think I wasn't "able" to go. His channel is a diamond in the rough! Fur eels!
    Yer driver at ASUS was SO jacked to be able to haul all that stuff for ya! That is SO epic! Those 'Yota extra-super-mini vans are sweet rigs! Like a giant Kei car!
    Joe's channel is RAD! His subscribers are as cool as they come! Content is amazing too! Super positive vibes, and super gold advice and tips/tricks in literally every video. Better yerself, and check it out!
    And I'm not nit-picking, but the Lego community will hound ya for pluralizing the brand name! It's just LEGO. No "s" at the end apparently!
    It's neat to see ya kickin it with Kyle and his new better half, as well as Luke and Jake! Very cool to see ya'll just chillin and being human beings! Lol!
    Holy... Joe wrecked the show trip! Nice work as usual dude! And thank you ASUS for hookin our homie up with the goods to stay as ridiculously productive as he already is! Not having to deal with travel woes, and aches/pains post trip is a godsend!
    And he food, oh my! It all looked pretty stellar!
    Thanks for takin us along for the ride, both on the show side, and the behind the scenes! It is hugely appreciated you guys!

      @ffnbbq Před 3 hodinami

      ​@@V1N_574In Paul's similar video last year, several people here hung out with GN Steve. But this year, they're all with the LMG crew. I noticed Ian Cutress/techtechpotato (who really went hard criticising GN Steve for the LTT video) at the restaurant with them.
      I think we can guess where at least some of the tech youtubers have quietly aligned.

    • @ffnbbq
      @ffnbbq Před 2 hodinami

      ​@@V1N_574 Yeah, it looks like they all avoided GN Steve. While it's possible Paul didn't have any footage of Steve/Steve was too busy chasing after Asus, notably at that restaurant with Paul and the rest was Ian Cutress/techtechpotato, who was *very* critical of GN's video on LTT, to the point of bizarrely analysing how Steve smiled when he talked as a sign of Steve having less than ethical motives.
      It's parasocially to speculate, but I think we can guess that tech YT people decided to distance themselves from GN.
