You are such a blossoming character Chris, seriously! Your interviews are fantastic and so multifarious but the #Lifehacks with J & Y are my favourites! So much wisdom and humour.

These life hack videos make me so happy, thank you Chris and lads!

Thanks for the Happy birthday advice❤️

You guys make an unstoppable team. Thanks for life hacks - appreciate them!

Really enjoyed this episode and got a good couple of things to do or see out of it. Thanks a lot.

Hahahaaa, @ChrisWilliamson every time you said OK GOOGLE, my mini was responding and confused!😂

Always great to see the gang back together 🚀

I am looking forward to you three, back in one room, chatting. 3 faces on a screen has been useful but it cant beat real interaction.

Mortal Kombat is such a key cornerstone of being an early 90s baby. I remember the song coming on at school discos and me and my other 6-year old male classmates spurring into action and having an impromtu battle royale on the dancefloor - with the violence escalating to the point that the DJ would have to fade the song out early into some cheesy bubblegum pop.

Love these tips and lifehacks videos

now we talking! 💪

Does the Amsterdam airport not have a VIP lounge?

bro, listened for a while, first time watching. I thought my man Yusef was gonna look difffffffferent haha. Love these eps lads

Keep the hacks coming x

Yay! My favorite 🤗

I rewatched love island season 1 today, poor Lauren lol

Personally the notetaking app i love is Workflowy. It ranges from just being a straight up list to the crazy people writing books with it. Doesn't have the polish of crapple notes connectivity but mehh not a use case i care about.
