Y’all. It’s my third week of this series, and I’m in all sorts of feelings. On one end, I feel like it’s a part of my life and brand – this is almost habitual. On the other hand, there are times when I don’t know if the things I watch are interesting enough for you. [Or am I watching enough things to begin with?] None the less, here’s my curated list for the week.
Hank Green and the Amazon Forest Fire
If you haven’t heard about the blaze that’s consuming the Amazon Rainforest, then where have you been? [Probably not on your phone, which is how I heard of the news – props to you for surviving screenless.] I would see reposts on Instagram stories in passing. I assumed there were regular wildfires in California or some place. I didn’t know it was the Amazon Rainforest until I watched this video. In summary, Hank’s video discusses that the cause of the fires is not geographic or meteorologic in nature [pun intended], but by human fault. I included the video so you can educate yourself.

If you were raised in the 2000s Disney Channel era, with shows like “Even Stevens,” “That’s So Raven,” and “Lizzie McGuire,” your nostalgic heart will burst for new and upcoming YouTuber, Christy Carlson Romano. Recognized for her role of Ren in “Even Stevens” and the voice of Kim Possible, she invites an actor to come and cook with her. She already has videos with Will (AKA Ron Stoppable), where they build the infamous “Naco,” and Drake Bell. (She is not biased towards Disney stars.) I’m still waiting for a reunion with Cadet Kelly (Hillary Duff) along with everyone else, but her videos are entertaining and flavorful.
I commented on one of her videos AND she responded!! So here I am doing my due diligence – subscribe to her.
Good Mythical Morning
Best friends Rhett and Link have been around forever. They just came back from summer break, and their first week of their show, Good Mythical Morning, has been great. I have watched their video every day this week as if it’s part of my routine, and I’m looking forward to more exciting content from them. Here’s my favorite video from this week:

Sona + FRIENDS Marathon
After reading the news about Robert de Niro suing his assistant for binge-watching 55 episodes of FRIENDS in 4 days, Conan O’Brian challenged his assistant, Sona, to binge-watch at least 55 episodes of FRIENDS in the same amount of time. Yes, I actually kept up with her progress. However, productivity was no longer a priority, so she did not get much administrative work done. It just comes to show you the downfalls of binge-watching: lawsuits and zero productivity.

Well that’s the new and current stuff I watched this week. I’m still binging the Gilmore Guys podcast [who also have a YouTube Channel – super FUNNY] and “That 70s Show.” Stay tuned to read what I end up watching next week. Sign up for emails, so you are notfied when the next post is up!
