I just want to thank all of you guys from the bottom of my heart for watching this show for the past 150 weeks. We did the first episode as a side project and the fact that you guys liked it completely changed the direction of Donut and my life. The fact that making these videos is my job blows me away every time I think about it and that's all because of you. I can't express how much this show, this channel and all of you guys mean to me. Here's to a million more episodes. I love ya'll. -James

The fact that the R in "Raptor R" doesn't stand for Raptor upsets me. I want a Ford Raptor Raptor.

[MiloWildfire]

love the "Up to speed about James' Dad" reference...

...Or perhaps its foreshadowing?

[SAMPLETEXT]

"An episode of up to speed and that guy who keeps for an episode of up to speed on my dad"

He is listening...also no gas crisis reference this episode

[thickdog]

The most accurate measurement of time is how far away it is from when post Malone was born

[TheMilkman]

I lost it when he said it’s like doing an up to speed without the guy who asks for an up to speed on his dad😂😂
