@Roland, what's for dessert? Durian? 🤣
Hey Mike! Here are my questions for your Dec Q&A: 1. What are your thoughts about the supernatural and the occult? 2. Given the right conditions (contacts/logistics), would you consider doing a feature about ghosts/exorcism? 3. A number of your YouTube videos have millions of views, to what do you credit this massive interest that resulted to them becoming such hits?
That night, Melisma and Marilyn are having their dinner with Mike. MELISMA: “I don’t like your friend.” MARILYN: “Well, put him on one side and just eat the vegetables.”🐉
Do former cannibals count?
So I guess we won’t see a documentary with mike living with a tribe of cannibals then? Lol
This is dope info, Brandon. Thanks for passing it along!
Despite having "nothing," they had "everything."
There's nothing like a nice, warm bowl of it, though, Roland!
Hahahaha. Soup for everyone!
The Patreon app is so spotty, I don't know what's up with it. That's why I always recommend the mobile version of the website. But the fact that it's working sometimes on the app gives me hope! hahaha
I thought early dragons get to eat bullshit soup! Haha Oh wait, early dragons get to eat people?!
Early Dragons get what Melisma? Here is my question for December. 1) Have you figure out the formula on how to get more views and keep your audience highly engaged on your YouTube videos? Is there one? 🎄🐉
Thank you for being very candid and for including the "anemone" - I really thought it was funny! 😁 And you bet, I will still ask questions! 🤣 "They literally have nothing...to put into perspective 'how much nothing' they have..." - this really struck me as you were narrating about Bangladesh. I mean, how can anybody measure "nothing" ? Yet, inspite of not having anything, those people can still smile. Puts into perspective what most people, myself included, go through when faced with difficulties. I can't imagine having absolutely "nothing" and still manage to be "happy". That was intense!

Thanks so much for answering my questions, Mike! As far as your outro, what do you think of something like "Slay your fears" - a reference to both dragons and the guiding message behind your channel? On a somewhat related note, I did some research into dragon symbolism and found so many cool themes and tidbits that tie in perfectly to what your channel and this community are all about. For example I learned that in Feng Shui, two of the many things dragons represent are growth and development, and in Europe they symbolized the ability to overcome circumstances and see things clearly. And it is thought that dragon spirit animals guide people toward enlightenment and teach them how to find their voice, be heard, and be truly understood. Pretty cool, right? As soon as I came across that info I knew I had to share it with you and my fellow Dragons!
Mike, you can end your video with 1) Soar! Fearless Dragons 2) Fly far. Fearless Dragons! 3) Go far and beyond, Fearless Dragons! 4) Soar far and beyond, Dragons! This way you mention the channel’s name and the community name at the same time. Just suggestions. 😀
But i’m not famous, Melisma. Maybe just notorious. And I’ve taken a lot of bullshit in my life. So no. thank you. 😜 You can take my seat.
I know the question asked which 3 famous people you would invite to eat bullshit soup but I think you should invite Roland so he can share your misery haha!
So... the last few videos you posted on Patreon, I can watch on the app directly. For some weird reason, this mos Q&A has that error message again that says it doesn’t support Vimeo. ???
Thank you, Mikey for answering my questions But you owe me a couple of questions. You didn’t answer all. 🤨😁 I’ll wait next month. and thank you for the facepalm btw. Made my day😂
