it's entirely possible. I had a childhood best friend and we were exactly like this. we were ALWAYS giggling around each other. constantly. we used to get in trouble all the time for laughing haha which sounds stupid but for as much as we laughed, I can see how it probably got on the grown ups nerves. we're still friends to this day but live on opposite sides of the country and such.

@@S7ARBOY In my childhood my cousin and I always laughed together just by breathing, I couldn't stop laughing and she laughed at me just by looking at me and I laughed so much at her own laugh that I felt like I was going to die everytime and several times my vision went dark bc just couldn't breathe.

So sad to see such a wonderful friendship come to an abrupt end via Joel's sabotage. Trent had *just* told you that if you ended the video this way he would no longer be your friend! I hope you two can find common ground again someday and maybe begin to build a bridge back to how things were before *the betrayal*.

[@DanDaBug]

This might actually be the most wholesome video on KZbin. There's something so perfect and powerful about two humans, each one genuinely and earnestly trying to make the other laugh, that is like the purest essence of comedy. The act of capturing it on film well is itself an artistic achievement that so many try and fail to reach, yet is so perfectly recorded here. I am being sincere, it's really an amazing thing. Then again, I am extremely high right now.

[@DrRiq]

I agree. It's a really beautiful video.

[@FieryFighter]

On another note the headphones Joel is wearing are awesome. I've had them for 2 years.

[@Joel-Haver]

They’re great headphones!!

[@trizgo_]

had mine for close to 6 years, and practically every station ive worked at keeps a stack of a dozen of em, stellar choice

[@SteeleGolem]

I have the earbuds Trent is wearing. They're alright.

[@SebHaarfagre]

I had the same ones too! Closed music industry headphones with a proper wire and jack is a whole other level of sound, if you got a good sound card. Mine had the wire broken, unfortunately, from excessive outdoor use during winter. This is a while back and used a converter into small phone jack when those were common. Had some Grado headphones too, same problem... winter + bending/usage is a b*tch to wires...
