[@clayfan3]

that’s wonderful!! what’s your native language?

Right!! I was just thinking that!! I learned English in 2012 and I'm sure him and Ingrid taught me English better than 6 years of school 😅

[@SureEnough]

@@clayfan3 Russian

[@stealyowaifu69]

Fr, i need to thank so many yters for teaching me English as a kid.

[@UnBesoDeCristal]

Honestly watching youtubers and interacting with their fanbase helped me become much more fluent as a teen than 10 years of school, so i relate and I believe there were quite a few of us! Dan and Phil had a whole fanbase in Latin America.

[@fil0sofia]

I'm no KZbin expert but I actually don't think that everyone has to have a niche. I have personally enjoyed Joey's content no matter if he's filming a dog give birth or vlogging in Japan. And just look at Pewdiepie! He's still one of the biggest youtubers in the world and his content has been all over the place for years lol. Him doing whatever content he feels like doing is what makes him fun to watch tbh. If the creator is having fun creating, the right audience will love the content. ❤

[@ellespoonies]

I agree! I’ve always watched a wide variety of content, from beauty to gaming to true crime, and I don’t think that’s necessarily wrong. I think the algorithm often pigeon holes people into having a niche, but if you really think about it it’s a natural human tendency to have multiple interests or even just be curious about more than just the things we’re routinely interested in. We wouldn’t know what interests us without curiosity!

[@fil0sofia]

@@ellespoonies Yes, exactly! And people grow up and change too. Especially with someone like Joey (or Anthony for that matter) who started doing this when they were young, they're not gonna be the same people or have the exact same interests now that they're 30+. Naturally! And their audiences grow up too.

[@ayushirambhia3284]

People really don't have any better things to do rather then hating people who they don't "approve" of

[@BerthaDarling]

Joey is potentially THE nicest guy on KZbin, deserves all the love you could possibly give!

[@mirofeya]

Agree. It's sad how he dates only mean jerks, i guess the opposites attracts is the thing.

[@misslucyn]

Hi Bertha :)

[@sup.im.angelina]

No

[@ObbyTheBird]

I can't even imagine laying SO much of my life out for the world to see like Joey and Anthony have done. These interviews have really opened my eyes to how difficult being a KZbinr is. Especially ones that have been in the game so long. Huge, huge kudos to them and may they both have continued success!

[@jaybehkay2438]

KZbin Red/KZbin Originals really fumbled the bag, especially in their shut down process. Cancelling a successful, long running show like escape the night and the whole mess that Dan Howell went through…. They could have been so good. But just mismanaged.

Joey was my world growing up! from upper elementary through eighth grade he kept me confident, and was a reminder daily that I was enough! Seeing his smile and laugh today immediately brings me back to how much he’s meant to me, I think about how he’s doing today often , and seeing him smile and talk about his life makes me so happy! 🎉❤ Thank you so much for this opportunity to connect with my childhood again! 🥰❤️

[@buttershy_]

i will admit i never watched joey very much but i read his book cover to cover a few years ago and it was a fascinating insight into not only himself as a person, but also early youtube and how it grew into such a massive thing and how everything worked. will always have respect for this man

[@raijean2]

These videos need to be at least 45 minutes to an hour. I always want more from every conversation!!

[@filmzen281]

Aren't they usually?

[@raijean2]

@@filmzen281 there’s a few longer ones but majority of his videos are 20-30 minutes if you look at his page

[@megmoo96]

yeah that’s my only complaint, sometimes i wish these videos were longer!! specifically when they have multiple guests on and they all have lots of stories!

[@jilliantex]

this is too wholesome I used to watch Joey so much in middle school/early highschool the nostalgia

[@tt-qf7bl]

I grew up with him 😭😭

[@RickTyploosion]

I was working at a gas station in 2019. Apparently it was a guy who was the friend of the father of Joey graceffa. It was kind of cool to know someone inspiring like him came out of a town only 10 minutes down the road from me. Also if anyone’s curious apparently he’s a great dude. Didn’t meet him but small world.

[@EsperTortuga]

this episode hits the nostalgia button hard! great to see joey doing escape the night still! i remember the first one coming out and being so excited

[@navyaaghariya]

the impact that Joey has had on my life is insane, i read his book In Real Life, learning about his childhood, reading his trilogy, i was 12 when i used to watch him, so glad to have grown up watching both Anthony and Joey.

[@lucaswalsh7092]

The iconic duo we've all been waiting for!!

The duo we had in 2013 but didn’t know it

[@UserEighteen]

So glad you brought up the NC driveway debacle. I remember feeling Joeys pain when it happened. Funny how looking back, and with all the youtuber cancellations since, it looks so innocent and laughable.

[@gabslovestay]

as someone who was a Joey fan during that music video release, YOU BROUGHT ME BACKK OMG I LOVED THAT SO MUCH.

[@-Rage]

My favourite joey videos are his animal fostering and rescues on his second channel watching him with dogs gives me so much happiness as you can see the joy it in his face

[@Byyyyuh]

I love this back and forth interview in this videooo. Like the circle back to these 2 who started KZbin in such a different era is amazing

[@mariamageras9393]

I love that they both had super straight hair to really curly 😂😂😂😂

[@StuckStoned]

I love seeing Joey out here doing more interviews and podcasts, I love his videos but the raw conversations are so good

[@greenbeantm1096]

I miss 2014 era KZbin when it was such a community. I never watched smosh during that time but I was still fully aware of who Ian and Anthony were and that they had a movie coming out just from KZbins I did watch talking about it. I even downloaded their app when it came out just because of the community feeling and wanting to support it

[@ihadastrokereadingthis]

joey’s laugh is so precious, hes so sweet!!

[@Emjinnie]

FINALLY HE’S INTERVIEWING JOEY!!!! 💕💕💕

I haven't watched Joey in so long. It was refreshing to see him again. I was a little disappointed you didn't ask him about his books but I'm sure there were reasons for that.
