Another awesome episode LAB. It still amazes me that other channels get significantly more views/comments/interactions while using other creators content. @LabPadre provides 90% or more of the content featured in the weekly wrap-up and 100% in the mid-week photo gallery. All the while staying away from sponsorships and ads that plague almost all other channels. I certainly appreciate those of you who value and support what we are doing but lets spread the word on how unique and special is. Next update:

Great job!! I always enjoy your videos!
