‡Something we did forget to bring up was when HTME won an emmy for best in lifestyle series, which is a pretty major accomplishment on their part that we somehow completely failed to bring up. Congratulations HTME. https://www.facebook.com/htmeverything/posts/2147448185480208:0

‡We did have a minor mishap at the beginning with Andy’s audio cutting out when he was explaining what his channel is about and we edited around it as best as we could.
