I am humbled and honored that Nicky asked me to be in this video. What a great surprise. Truly my greatest satisfaction and joy as a boss to many young people has been their successes. Thanks Nicky and I love you.

The story is moving as all hell but what I loved the most is how awesome and inspiring it is to see two men, old friends, happily and unabashedly say they love each other.

Just wanted to say this channel has got a lot better since Rainn's video last year when he asked what the viewers wanted to see. I had stopped watching most of the videos you guys produced at that point because things like sosonja and new age creators didn't appeal to me. The channel has improved so much over the last few months so thanks and keep up the good work.
