Bureaucracy in America is not much better. In my last apartment it took a month to get them to install cable and internet. I spent hours on the phone with customer service at Spectrum to try to get someone come out to install cable and internet. Finally, one day they show up and they show up with not one but three service vans. I was like, really? I just need cable installed, that's all - LOL / mdr.

Personally, I hope you never sell out Damon, even though I want you to make your dreams come true. I hope you'll keep travelling Europe (or living in Paris/Berlin or whenever if travelling isn't possible atm), and I hope you stick to this format. It's unlike anything else, it's romantic, it has vision and taste. It would leave you much prouder of your work than presenting a stick show. This has your atonomy stamped all over it and the quality is through the roof. And it enables your current romantic lifestyle. You'll be really proud of this work looking back
@KyraThePenguinVlogs 2 жыл бұрын
Lastly, you write/produce/direct your own comedy material in artistically video format, you don't just 'report on your travel', so this is a piece of value that goes way beyond travel shows. Super proud of you Damon, I wasn't a regular Shut up and Go viewer but imo this is even better
