There's a BTS docu about how they do the shows during Covid. They have Aidy and Kate talking together and they're besties in real life. It's awesome.

But I have to hand it to them. These videos make people Happy. So even though those Douchebags are rich, selfish, and greedy, they do a lot of good for the world.
