THANK YOU FOR 30,000 SUBSCRIBERS EVERYONE!! ♥♥♥ If someone would have told 13 year old me that I'd be setting up fake Hot Ones sets and eating spicy wings with a good friend for KZbin I wouldn't have believed them.

[@animefreak134XD]

As someone who enjoys the hot ones show, I really got a lot of kicks out of how closely you followed their formula. The reverb, and sauces shot especially made me giggle

[@makariespe]

Thank you for noticing :')

[@lauraladyll]

Honestly appreciated the fact that you weren’t over dramatic. I always wonder how spicy these sauces really are and which ones really hit you.

[@makariespe]

The bomb is supppppper painful. But the rest are okay thank god :')

[@lauraladyll]

@@makariespe Snaps to you for conquering da bomb 🔥

[@emily_byars]

You talking about your dad's heart attack made me cry. My mom went through cancer in 2015, and i know how hard it is seeing a parent struggle like that. It really changes your perspective ❤

[@makariespe]

Thank you for sharing Emily ❤ And I'm sorry to hear about what you and your mom had to go through. I couldn't agree with you more.

[@Cakeontheroof]

I love the playfulness with which you make videos, there's definitely an aspect of "let's just see what happens" and it keeps the stakes light and seems to allow you a lot of room to grow and try new things.

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks! I really appreciate it :')

[@grey7331]

In the name of all the German viewers you did great with the hot wings! 🥰🙋🏽‍♀️ And the story of your dad really hit home for me, we so often think we have all the time in the world, and now i feel like your videos with your dad in it (which i love!) are even more special ❤️ You‘re one of the reasons i did not delete KZbin from my phone a view weeks ago, after finally getting rid of Instagram and TikTok - I guess KZbin will stay just a little longer 🥰🙌🏼

[@makariespe]

Jeez thank you for this really kind comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to write it ❤️❤️❤️ I hope to keep making videos that make KZbin worth it to you!!

[@lucychen7474]

It was nice hearing that you're not always positive and happy and you also get sad and struggle :) as a fellow 26 year old, thank you for living your dream!

[@makariespe]

I gotchu Lucy 🙌❤

[@rivermorse1712]

Your friend did a great job hosting, y’all have great chemistry! Very creative idea for a Q&A and well executed:)

[@makariespe]

He did didn't he?! And thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@LizBit3]

I literally followed you BECAUSE you are so positive while doing something physically grueling and that is a skill in itself. Can't wait to see where you go from here and hope to see more in-depth Q & A's

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks Liz!! I really appreciate it :) And I actually have one more Q&A coming out tomorrow morning that is less.. intense 😂

[@LizBit3]

@@makariespe Absolutely loved it!! Can't wait to see more of your videos

[@liseamaliec8774]

As a Norwegian who have binged your videos it makes sense you have Norwegian family, you just have that friluftsliv vibe

[@knittymonstah4978]

Thank you for answering the positivity question. And also for saying that part of it is editing. Puts it into perspective. We can't all be happy and positive all the time, but still have a positive impact on the world 😊

[@makariespe]

" We can't all be happy and positive all the time, but still have a positive impact on the world "

[@hollyh.828]

This video was so well done!!! Congratulations on 30,000 subscribers too! The lesson you took away from watching your dad’s ordeal is one I also gained when I was 26 (fighting and surviving stage four cancer). It made me slow WAY down and the appreciation I gained for simplicity in life and the importance of time with who you love has continued to serve me so well. It’s a valuable lesson to learn at a younger age! Also, I really appreciated your honesty about motivation. I’ve wasted a lot of time thinking something was wrong with me because I just “can’t get motivated” so hearing someone be real about it instead of saying hokey bs is quite refreshing!

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks Holly! I really appreciate it! :) And oh my goodness - I'm so glad to hear you're okay now. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. I really appreciate it

[@hollyh.828]

Thank you! 😊💜

[@martinrocca4297]

I've always considered creating a KZbin channel in France, where i live, and this video might be the little push i needed. Nice work, keep it up ! (And thanks to KZbin for showing me your content a few weeks ago !)

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks Martin! I appreciate it! :) And good luck with the youtube channel!!

[@MeghFitzpatrick]

Mad respect to you for sticking to the hot wings. Holy smokes, I would not be able to. This was so great getting to know you a bit better!

[@makariespe]

Thanks Megh 😂

[@kenfreeman8888]

Good interview. I'm glad your dad is in your videos, and I'm glad you put your videos online. I've found that communicating creativity helps me pull through difficulties too.

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks Ken!

[@Alexdb123]

Respect for recreating the Hot Ones set, vibe, editing etc - very impressive!

[@makariespe]

Thanks Alex! I appreciate it :)

[@eidnamusic]

Omg this was so cute to watch, I loved it!!! You talking about Canadians being funny was adorable. I think you’re absolutely hilarious too 🤗 I love hot ones as well so I might be a liiiiiittle bit biased.

[@MrKrekkie]

Your video editing is great, right up there with the pro's. Some YT channels are more focussed towards one subject, but yours is not. That's the fun of it. You are like a reporter of trends and niches and finding out as a test person what's it about. Great stuff!

[@tubina8912]

Most Canadians seem to be very polite and nice people, I love that. Politeness is so important. Fun video and also, how do you stay so pale and pretty when suffering from hot sauce? I would've been red and awkward. 😂

[@Saidaa_m]

This video was so well done! I love the show and this was AMAZING

[@kristen_mason]

One camera per 10,000 subscribers!!! This is awesome & your meteoric growth is so deserved! Just goes to show when you're consistent & do the hard thing that it can pay off :) Really loved your little nugget of wisdom about just doing the thing even when you don't want to- I think that people miss out on lots of cool things by brushing off the opportunities that could lead to those doors as something they don't want to do & this was a great reminder that it doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to be done! Congrats on 30k!

[@makariespe]

😆 I love it. Thanks Kristen! And thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment! I appreciate you being around since the beginning :')

[@a-raee]

two videos in one week, you're spoiling us 🥰 congrats on 30,000!! you more than deserve it!!! excited to be apart of that number ❤

[@makariespe]

Another one coming out tomorrow 😏 A thank you!! I really appreciate it!! :)

[@a-raee]

​@@makariespe i will be waiting for it as always 😊

[@inappropro69]

Hi from Norway! 🇳🇴 keep up the good work! I appreciate your inspiring videos 🙂

[@useradriannairda]

There is something genuine and original about Makari that I can relate too. Keep up the videos!

[@Travis21K]

Love that you take the time to respond to your comments! Came for the content stayed for the personality. Love the videos, just subscribed, keep up the awesome work!

[@littletrini1193]

The reverb effect when you were choking on the hot sauces killed me. 😂

[@debbiemah6746]

No kidding! Could feel those moments for sure!!

[@makariespe]

I'm glad!! Shoutout to the hotones editing team for coming up with it 😂

[@kayla110812]

This made me so happy. You make me so happy! Congrats on 30k (and quickly growing)... you are so cool Makari! "It's not that bad actually... OH NOOOOO"

[@makariespe]

😂 😆 Thanks Kayla

[@ktkthakre]

I've seen almost every episode of Hot Ones... and then saw your video... the set, the camera angles, the music, the edit... I didn't even think twice that I wasn't watching the real Hot Ones... this was very well done... Thanks!!

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks! I really appreciate it :)

[@jsjoyner85]

Really enjoy your videos and so glad you've far exceeded your own expectations in subscribers, well deserved and hoping your channel continues to grow!

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks! I really appreciate it :)

[@BradleyBarkerIII]

You’re fun to watch. I just found your videos this week and it’s just easy to enjoy. “Oh no, oh no, oh no!” 😂

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks! :)

[@debbiemah6746]

What a great interview, full of insights, energy and humour! Great duo!

[@shannonkennedy9769]

Just came across your channel recently and think you’re such a breath of fresh air!! There’s something so nostalgic and uplifting about your videos :) You’ve inspired me to consider finally taking the leap and creating my own channel someday, like I’ve always wanted to. Looking forward to watching your channel grow!! All the best!! 💘

[@makariespe]

Hey thanks Shannon! I really appreciate it! And good luck with your channel!! :)

A fun video I would love to see for you is on color analysis. Maybe you deep dive on what it is and then go get a professional color analysis. That would be fun! Love your content

Congrats on 30K subs. Amazing milestone, next 50K and then 100K. Woooooo. Loved this episode. Looking forward to seeing more milestone videos

[@makariespe]

Thank you!! I really appreciate the kind words 🥰

[@Poppy-333]

Ahhhh, I almost didn’t watch this bc I think watching other people suffer through the heat is uncomfortable 🫣 but I’m glad I did. It was nice to hear more of your story. Congrats on 30k (and growing)!! 🎉 I also like that you said persnickety because I had a teacher scold me once for using it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ She said it wasn’t a real word. Well, now I can go back and show her this video. 😂😂 Not really - that was like 30 years ago!

[@makariespe]

😂 Thanks Poppy - I appreciate you pushing through for me! And the heck!? I think you should still go back and tell them you're right..... 😂 Joookes.... kinda

[@debbiemah6746]

It’s a great word!!❤

[@RobbFord]

Very cool in a hot wings kinda way. Definitely going for wings and beer soon!! Cannot have hot wings without beer!! Great job Makari!!

NO WAY?!?!? I feel so excited knowing theres a whole world or Measle out there for you!! I didn't know anyone else had read it 😂 How great is Iggy though??? And basil tromlebone 😈

[@makariespe]

Hey Juliane! Thank you for your kind words! You should check out beacon hill park and the beacon hill petting zoo :) It's a big beautiful park with peacocks roaming around and then of course the petting zoo has goats which is always fun :) Let me know if you have any questions about the island!!

[@Juliane.Miranda]

@@makariespe I will take notes of it. We’re currently living in Winnipeg, our 5 province in Canada. In July we are planning to drive from Winnipeg to Victoria and visit many places as possible and choose another place to live with my family. I would love to see more videos outside. Thank you Juliane

Man I get jealous if I watch you I hope you take that as a compliment and I'm conflicted I absolutely know how much effort goes into you making the videos. I respect you for that but I'm also jealous I want to be able to do that but at the same time I know that I'm risk aversive I don't like risks too much so I'm planning on getting my diploma and honors,Masters first and actually getting a stable income first. then trying KZbin. I absolutely loved your exercise video like cardio for 30 days because I love fitness like health gym all that so I hope you do more fitness related content and really really love your videos continue making them.

[@johnedmondson7911]
