come back next friday for *I spent a day with WWE SUPERSTARS*

[daneboe]

Thank you so much for having me on the show. It was SO fun! Anthony and Brandon, you’re the best ❤️❤️❤️

[callnight]

One thing i'd love see is former big youtubers. Jenna Marbles, Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart, etc.

[dipperrecords]

Pumped to see Brandon back, that man carries literally anything he's in.

[Cecona]

Neighborhood watch, while super short, is iconic for that one scene of “what’s worse than a predator?” “A child”

[bajablastbisexuall]

I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon back in 2020 (before the pandemonium) at playlist live. It was like 2 am in the lobby and he had just gotten food or something but he and the person he was with stopped and talked with me for like an hour. Truthfully the sweetest human alive

[jadebraun]

These three have such shiny and beautiful hair

[Supaawesomeification]

I swear every time I see Anthony’s “Inhale” tattoo, I remember to take a deep breath and it feels nice 😂

[Axel_Bono]

It would be so insane if you were able to convince Jenna Marble, to come on your channel to get interviewed by you.

[envymordecai]

I JUST binged all of Helluva Boss! ❤❤
His VA was fantastic and it was such an enjoyment to watch because there is so much love poured into it.
I often wonder how many of Blitzø’s lines are improved 😂

[potato_that_tickles_his_pickle]

It's fun to see that Dane has found themself in their identity, I wish them all the best in their transition journey

[RowdyFossils]

Actually makes me emotional thinking about Anthony's progression as a creator. I used to watch smosh and enjoyed seeing those two making fun skits and whatnot. Now seeing Anthony creating the stuff he does now, idk it just makes me proud of him.

[Vellysian]

I love how Brandon carries the conversation and gives Dane Boe an opening for quite a few conversations. It seems very kindhearted to me :)

[JellyRollAnimations]

I love seeing these faces so much. It’s like a trip down memory lane

[BroxTheHusky]

Dane is really just gonna sit there looking happy and fully themselves? Hell yes!

[datboi_gee]

"All these skinny withered legends down in my basement."

[flmno]

i literally just binged the last like 8 months of Brandon's videos after not watching him in a while, this is perfectly timed

[ryah]

I remember in 4th grade at our scholastic book fair everyone was really into the little erasers that were available at the checkout. One of the erasers was an orange with a face and I thought my little brother would like it. We played with it everyday, and eventually found the Annoying Orange channel. We would sit in front of the family computer and watch the episodes. We are about to graduate now, and I cannot believe it has been so long. I grew up with Annoying Orange, thank you Dane. <3

[akiraeatsguitarpicks]

Seeing Dane’s whole face instead of just their disembodied mouth and eyes on an orange is surreal!

[iamactuallyjesus]

Brandon Rodger’s being IRRELEVANT?? never in my life would I think I’d see that
