Opening Up About Connor Murphy and His 40 Day Fast

Follow me on Instagram @patricklyons - I've made a post there every day for over 500 days, and I make Instagram stories every day, too! Go check them out before they expire :)

This video was filmed as a response to the reactions I got from some people on my latest video with Connor. For context, I visited Connor Murphy during his 40-day fast in Austin, TX and talked with him about how the fast is going, what his plans are for after the fast, and I broke down the science behind the insane amount of weight he had lost up to that point (~33lbs in 30 days). I strongly urge against fasting for this duration and generally do not recommend any fasts longer than 24 hours, especially not without supervision and not without supplementation of vitamins. Watch the full video for full details.

i’ve come to the conclusion that you’re batman, and connor is goin to go through the captain america super soldier transformation at the end of his fast

[jackwheeler]

honestly the part of the speech talking about addressing haters was super inspiring for me. thank you for opening up about that (and for being a great friend to connor)

[batmanwayne]

once again, for a video like this, i will renounce my title of Batman to you. you’re a hero

[captainhook]

you’re a good friend my man, no need to worry about the haters. we’ve got you 🙌🏼

[Leanne_w]

I can tell you genuinely care about him. I don’t understand why people feel the need to leave you hate. Must of then wouldn’t say hateful things to someone’s face. So why do they feel it’s ok to just post begins a screen.
I don’t agree with what he’s doing, but I’m glad that he seems to be in a happy place and I’m glad it’s all going to be over soon.

[ThisIsVladG]

Thanks for sharing these message bro. Really important to contextualize what Connor is doing, and cool to see you transparently open up about how you feel about these topics.

[Zivrulez]

To be completely honest It was the first thing that crossed my mind when watching the previous video. I'm not a hater, it just seemed that way.
That being said this video has positively changed my mind about you and the situation. respect

[NormanAmerica]

It’s a good feeling for you be able to address what most of us have been concerned about in person to Connor. You definitely are doing right in conveying a positive message to Connor and all of us🤙🏻

[callmedaddy]

Well done on conveying this message. Sorry to hear you get affected by negative comments but it's good that you are making it a positive by bringing it to peoples attention that they should try to focus on the positive because there'll always be negative

[andrewgotnext]

You can tell u sincerely care about everyone and even the haters thats what makes u different keep grinding and embrace the hate

[jlsg]

Just the fact that you go to his place and try to state to your fans is “do not fast in any way shape or form” in front of him DURING his fast, and IN his place is outright disrespectful. Your knowledge isn’t even remotely accurate to top it off. You’re not friends with him in any way, and you were just trying to push your agenda while recording your video. There was no objectivity in it.

You're such a good friend keep it up dear Patrik!👍😊

[markdhananjaya]

Hello Patrick, came to this channel from Connor, from the very first time you were in his YouTube videos (at Texas uni or something, can't even remember. Time flies🤷‍♂️😂). Been watching your videos since then. I've always enjoyed the collabs between you and Connor, and I know you have always had good intentions when it comes to entertaining and sharing knowledge. I do appreciate you filming these videos on Connor's 40 day fast and sharing your knowledge about it and actually visiting him in person (now that's true friendship man).
Anyone who says you have bad intentions and that your friendship with Connor isn't genuine, obviously do not know what they are talking about. So do not worry about negative comments. Your audience that knows you, know you for who you are and appreciates you. Anyways, keep up the good work Patrick. Hoping to see more Batman Pranks in libraries soon once the pandemic is over😁.❤

Just finished watching the whole video, I like how you explain things very clearly, I have been watching your vids, so I kind of understood your relationship with Connor, but this cleared it more for me, keep up the good content 😃👍

[markcharming]

I’ve made this conclusion!!! Connor Murphy wants to be an actor. Some actors have put there body through the craziest of situations. If he is able to pull this off. It just shows his mind strengths. Connor is able to do more than he thinks. With that mindset, He can be bigger, and better than ever before.

[Ehsidorah]

I came from the live chat and thanks for the insight. I don't think that you should elaborate on the reactions of others including mine. Even after Connor exposed his entire apartment to prove he doesn't have food people still claim he has food. So elaborating on the reactions will only make it seem to others that it's fabricated. You're not talking to normal or rational people. They have called the police on Connor so, yeah you keep supporting your friend. That's really what subscribers should be doing initially.
✌️-out!

[megumiiii]

Connor Murphy just getting ready for Ramadan Lmao. His mental breakdown was a bit over the top but he seems lile a really decent dude. Wishing him the best

[asura]

We know you're a good guy, at least your subscribers.
But understandable that people looking at it from the outside could misinterpret it

[markcharming]

Don’t worry pat. One day Connor will be more shredded again
