A lot of people with charisma come from the same cloth. It's often the jock confident type, and i don't mean that as an insult. This is a dude with charisma from a less common cloth. Most people that like the internet Rabbit holes and are super existential are not often charismatic. There are athletic jocks who look good and have zero charisma. Uncommon personality with good charisma equals captivating content.

Interesting probably. I don’t think Izzy ever tried to act laid back tho. Kinda the opposite he likes to act tough or like he’ll take people to war. Which he can… as a contender.

The contrast between Ariel, nina drama and sean strickland fans is night& day. I watched nina drama's degenerate interview with him and looked at all of the comments. Nothing but sean strickland NPCs calling Peyton zesty. Ariel's fans seem to appreciate PT and his uniqueness. Furthermore. This interview was great. Ariel asks all the right questions you should ask someone when you want to get to know an up and coming prospect. I'm probably going to Subscribe to ariel again just because of this interview.

12:51 "The only reason I said Merab is dumb, is because I saw a video of him dive head first into, like, three inches of water." 🤔 The irony of calling him dumb, when you're the guy thinking it was just really shallow water, and didn't realize that it was because it was frozen ice, and not shallow water. 😂

[@Digitalcowboy24]

So he dove into frozen ice ? Sounds dumber

[@closinginonclosure]

@@Digitalcowboy24 He was jumping in for an ice bath and didn't realize how solid it was frozen. I'm not saying he wasn't ignorant to not check it before diving in. I just think it's funny that Peyton called him dumb, meanwhile, he didn't even understand what was actually happening. Merab was literally at an icy lake. For Peyton to think that it was just shallow water and not realize it was ice, is pretty dumb.
