Send us a textEp 189 - We’ve had other YouTube creators reacting to us since we posted our very first official vlog/YouTube video on May 25, 2016 titled “Is it okay to be Obsessed with Guys?” I think it’s time for the two of us to react to that video ourselves. We’re going to be releasing two new YouTube videos every month where we react to our earliest / most controversial YouTube videos.
