Inspiring how his magnum opus is torn from his hands by a thief, and he's still able to begin the crafting of an idea that can somehow potentially be even better. With the money he already has saved and what he gets for selling the giant press, he's already like halfway to affording the helicopter. Godspeed Trent.

[@curbsideaudio]

There is something about your hometown that adds to the tone of your collaborations. I can't pinpoint it exactly, but it's akin to a sense of calm. There's a really strong sense of familiarity and gentleness to all of your Massachusetts work. It's a compliment to the more frenetic energy of your LA collaborations. I guess what I'm trying to say is that although you've both grown so much in the last year or more, you haven't lost what drew me in so many years ago. Love you guys.

Joel's mom is such a great sport! And amazing acting. Her delivery on "Crush a Corvette" was... she really nailed the awkward, defensive, uncomfortable, being on camera until she noticed Joel, but was still wanting to help by giving advice to her son's friend that... anyway, she was/is so supportive. I love this.

For me, it wasn't a crazy good MrBeast video, it felt like a ton of scrapped MrBeast video ideas thrown together.

The "alliteration" part with Joel's mom's reaction was my favorite part. I also love the T-Rex part and when you're sad in your bed listening to Joel enjoy the MrBeast video. Those were my extra-LOL moments, but the whole thing was hilarious!

3:17 felt that deep in my soul, made me laugh for like three full minutes Trent. This is genius. Way better than a hydraulic press crushing a Lambo (although yeah, that sounds rad). It's good that we reflect on the power these KZbinrs wield, and question whether it's moving humanity forward. Do you think, in your version, there would've been a breakdown of what's happening to the Lambo and why? Because that's really what I want to know. Like laser cutting / engraving / 3d printing / restoration videos usually have an explanation of what you're seeing, but crush / explode videos are usually like "haha thing go squish". It seems like a really one-note joke. That's why I watch a lot of Slo Mo Guys, bc I love watching the whole process and learning how it happened. Anyways. This is way better. But I'd watch, like, a documentary of this character's progress towards making a video with the same basic concept, with his own particular spin on it. In which case an ultimate "haha thing go squish" would be brilliant. I haven't even finished the video, I just really had to let you know that the timing and expression at 3:17 was positively divine. edit: 6:35 when you let your boyfriend bring his other boyfriend over and you're just watching stuff on your phone while they're.. uh.. you know, he's crushing that Lambo, heh edit 2: Trent omg you could write the BEST action movie - you could STAR in it, it would be AMAZING, like an amateur modern Chuck Norris
