What a bunch of nerds.

Some people ask me “Aw can you put me in a cartoon?” All they have to do is come to my house and shit their pants or make a fool of themselves. I’ll put them in a cartoon no problem.

My assumption before meeting a lot of YouTube animators was that they were the silliest geese around. I was right.

“I feel like people confuse getting older with losing passion” Wow, Adam really hit the nail on the head.
@GodStarLuna 3 months ago

James seems like he’s the only odd one out, Adam is just doing something else happy to be there, and Rebecca is just explaining every thing she can. What a great trio.

These three (along with Jaiden) were my favorite YouTubers when I was 13. It’s cool seeing them all together!

I'm glad to see my assumption that youtube animators are human beings turned out to be true!

i love how james still didnt answer the question and just tried to seem like it was normal to just own a fursuit lol

I respect him for saying that bit about burn out with regular jobs vs burn out as a YouTuber. Thats a big thing people would get on the entitled youtubers about.

Adam is the definition of “Just chillin…”

I don't want them to die out. I love YouTube animators and their stories. Hopefully some will still make videos. Hopefully.

It’s good to see James and Adam in the same room again

Odd comment, but their casual voice tones are WAY different compared to their usual stage voices. It’s nice… on the ears, that is.

After hearing about all the problems adam and his family was having with insurance and the healthcare system, im beyond glad that the response from his fanbase was to stay patient
@killergoon2009 3 months ago

I love how Anthony just did a video about an animator ( haminations) Now an assumption's episode about animators and then next week he is doing one about an animator next week (Let me explain studios).

I love how all of them already knew each other a lot longer than this video, so it was all just agreeing with each other 🤣
