[@Gutslinger]

I'm glad I got to enjoy at least 2½ years of you on there, and was watching live when the announcement was made. You are arguably my most favorite, not only for the comedic relief you provided, but because we view a lot of things similarly. You were one of the main pillars of that show. And I hate saying that in the past tense.. Love you, Az. But I'm happy that we still have BBC. It's more laid back and less chaotic, like me. And it involves comics (I was excited that I just got my first set of real comics this week. Found at a local rural flea market. I got 2 Batman, roughly 4 Spiderman, roughly 5 Superman, 3 Excalibur, 3-4 X-Men, 1 Green Arrow, 2-3 Avengers, 1 Conan the Barbarian [1976], and 2 others from the late 1970's. Most of these comics are from 1990-95. I wanted Batman comics, but they only had two: Batman in Detective Comics Issue 616 (1990) and Batman Year One Shadow of the Bat Issue 3 (1995). They look awesome, and I wish I had a full storyline of all of these comics, instead of just getting only parts. But I don't want to pay shipping for buying individual issues to fill in the gaps.

@@lostsock9852 If it were a simple sleep schedule issue, and not something more complex and personal, would you imagine that someone would step down from a popular show for a sleeping issue?

[@michaelreyes9283]

He does say IRL reasons. It must be something else other than sleep but needs the time to deal with it

[@Thagrynor]

@zeroneutral Sleep schedule can also impact his weight loss journey. It can impact his entire weekend as far as getting to the gym and handling real life business and errands and obligations. Running on very little sleep can also impact mental health, which can impact motivation and drive. Given that he had his backside and was clearly not happy about it, wanting to make significant changes to address that is not surprising and quite admirable to have that kind of willpower to give up something you enjoy for something that is maybe not enjoyable but is important. Az is saying that he has real life stuff that he needs to fix his sleep schedule for. That is an entirely plausible and valid reason. It isn't like he is saying he is doing it because he wants to run a marathon next week and climb Mt Everest the week after and needs to start some training.

Hail AZ!!!!!! you are rare part of YT, a person of integrity, knowledgeable, i have watched you from a long time in the shadows, i trust your future is bright, I'll continue to watch your content!!

[@namelessbeast4868]

RIP Az. You will be dearly missed. Glad to see that British representation will continue on FNT!

[@cstuewe]

Anybody who's watched FNT to the end in the last 6 months to a year had to know this day was coming eventually. Sad to see you go from there, but glad to hear you'll still be around on other shows.

Whys tbat

[@egadzitsme]

@@themightycrixus1131 Time zone difference. Az touches on it in this vid around 3:30.

[@adzmo5422]

Az has been working really hard at improving his lifestyle - late, late nights just make it so much harder. The body says "low energy: hungry" when really it's sleep that's needed.

[@SaturnDreamingofMercury]

Yeah, this was a bit of a problem. It's an awkward scheduling situation insofar as it came to kicking back at the end of the work day on Friday afternoons, and then hopping on to YT to begin winding down only to find FNT's live stream was already well underway (and I am not even on Pacific or Mountain time). FNT, per its very name, needs to be allowed to flourish as a stream that actually airs in real-time on Friday nights.

Holy shit dude I really thought yall had fallen out for a second. Was gonna be really sad if my favorite group of entertainers started coming apart like that 😅

[@christopherpulliam8873]

You will be missed AZ! FNF is not the same without you! You have the sickest most contagious laughter! Rock on!!!

[@michaels1109]

Az you are very big to FNT it will go on but never the same! I need to hear your smart butt answers reminds me of my jokes! Really you were one of the biggest plus for me to watch! And you will be missed alot! And can the ghost of Az pop in from time to time please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mansiondave23]

You are a much more gracious person than people, including yourself, give you credit for Az. You are a much bigger part of the ingredients list than you are willing to admit but those who know you know it to be true. Best wishes on your ventures and look forward to seeing you back in the mix!!

[@GeeMannn]

I usually save episodes for later so this came out of nowhere for me 😭😭😭 I didn't think I would get spoiled on an FNT. Thanks Az. See you on the next RealBBC!!!

[@danemiller4852]

You know you're getting old when you cant stay up till 5am every friday anymore...

[@barvelo26]

Thank you AZ for your time you've spent on FNT, your critical thinking and rants have helped me through this CLOWN WORLD! Thanks for speaking on behalf of the same people!

[@elucidator1277]

Love you, AZ, you crazy devil. You will be missed on FNT, but I know this isn't the end of your story. Stay awesome!!!! Rock 'n Roll.

[@ufgator812]

I was just sitting here in my garage getting snockered, as I do. You have given me a reason, if I needed one. I will catch you on all of your other endeavors. Hail Az

[@ljvwright]

As a fellow Brit Az, I want to thank you , as it was through you I found FNT. I used to watch your videos which lead to everyone else so much appreciation. You will always be my favourite, but the show must continue 👊. Thanks brother ✌️

[@shadf7902]

I think I found Gary first, and that led me to az and the rest.

[@fidian2]

Thank you Az for your time at FNT! You will be missed!

[@Bealz709]

Me: I wonder why Az left. Meme: BECAUSE YOU'RE BORING!

[@stevelucky7579]

I’m gonna miss ya Az. Glad to see ya start pulling your life together before ya duck out. 🍺 Cheers my friend.

[@UPTAUT]

I'm actually a little upset. Thank you for your service

[@realistic_delinquent]

I’m actually really rather upset. I can’t imagine FNT feeling the same. Hoping RBBC picks up the slack somewhat, as I only watch it live very rarely.

[@stilldisorder]

And so the AZ lore expands. You and the FNT crew have helped me through some really tough times. Thank you for that. Onwards and upwards.

[@ShenMerrick]

Damn, you are legitimately my favorite host on FNT...or I suppose I should say "were". Will miss seeing you on the show, but will continue to view your other content. Completely understand your reason for stepping back. Much love.

[@Scientist_Salarian]

We’ll miss you, AZ! But I’m glad Real BBC will continue as is. You and Gary are fantastic together in whatever format.

[@Factory_Edge]

When you stopped doing the "homework" it was obvious that you didn't belong anymore. You were only tangentially interesting because of FNT, now you will fade to the black.
