“Language is not necessary to bonding people together.” Love that. ❤
Those sumo wrestlers were so pure. Just radiated kindness
Might have to get that as a tattoo!
Legitimately brought a tear to my eye
Steffan is such a beautiful soul ❤
i work with a guy that is from sonora mexico. he speaks a little bit of english but it is probably the equivalent to a 4 year olds speech at best. i still get along better with him than anyone else at work and we have conversation just as much as anyone else. we just have to use a translator🤣 it all comes down to the fact that me and him are hard workers and want to chase our dreams in our lives. we share a like mindedness that allows it to not matter if we speak other languages.
The fact that the Sumo's wanted to remain friends with Steffan shows just how good and genuine of a guy he is. One question changed multiple people's lives.
Just FYI, Sumo wrestlers are actually called "Rikishi" generally. Sumo is the sport.
@@Shindenize You are right. In the documentary they referred to them repeatedly as "Sumos" too. The opening clip see them saying in the car we must call them Rikishi. I might be wrong, but sounds like Thomas Brag (France) is making the mistake most often. Or maybe I mean Staffan Taylor (Sweden), either way both are non-native speakers. Having lived over 20 years in France, I can tell you it's difficult living in a different country.

Bullsht they want his butter bro ,he might be Kool an all but sumo is ghey dudes if u couldn't tell.
The best part of this whole episode is when they use their phone to communicate and realize they are all extremely friendly. It's like a giant family of brothers.
The google translate app is the GOAT for rule.
Japan cult, a swimsuit beach fest inc bit under 18= "jpn men evil, cult that need to be removed". Nak d men fest/ sumo that inc teen boy= 'jpn culture'
If you are invited into a Sumostable, you are a guest and treated with special honnor. This is a violent an abusive world for a lot of people who are not not in the first two devisions and sure not a "giant family of brothers" But i still have respect for the proud cultur and the mental strenght of this atlethes.
@@herrmannelig9033 This, they are not a big friendly family. Sumo is strict, there is a strict hierarchical way of doing things that is not shown in the video. The newer you are, the lower you are on the totem pole. You do all the chores, cook the food, do the shopping, cleaning, etc. AND have to do all the training on top of that. The higher rank you are, you get to take it easy and focus on your skills. So the good get better and the bad must strive harder to survive.
They're friendly to guests, not to each other lol
did NOT come into this thinking it was going to be as wholesome as it was but i simply cannot stop smiling THEY WERE ALL SO CUTE I'LL CRY
This is an awesome ancient form of fighting, and mad respect to these guys who dedicate their life to it and are just absolutely ferocious. I haven't watched much Sumo wrestling so I still haven't adjusted to constantly seeing gigantic celluloid - covered butt cheeks jiggling around all over the place. Crack city USA! I think I know what some of these guys had for lunch yesterday and could construct a 3-dimensional model of the contours of their ass, pimples included. OK, I'm done. Butts are funny, what can I say. Butt - I'm sure after watching it more I won't be so distracted by the big white butts and the 12 inch butt cracks to go halfway up their backs. Because the fighting itself is super impressive and cool to watch, and heck I'd love to try it sometime (and then it'll be my gigantic white butt flapping around with some weird fabric shoved into my crack). I used to do jui-jitsu and have done other martial arts and this one just seems incredible. The only thing is - I worry about how long these guys will live with the diets they eat. I hope I'm wrong and they all live super long and healthy lives :)
Especially the college kid who moved moved countries at 15, presumably all by himself 🥹 A lot of the best rikishi are Mongolian, I wonder why.
Seriously guys, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. You consistently allow me to have a sneak peek at things I have always wanted to experience personally. Legends.
Don’t let these videos be your end point. Make them your starting point. Still go out and seek those experiences you desire! Anything is within your reach if you want it to be.
They should do a video on winning a trophy to give you a sneak peak at mot bottling
Yid army
Should also make a video on how to not cheat in the prem
lmaoooo
How different this video could've turned out by just one single question not being asked. I love the boldness to just do it. Steffan is an amazing guy for sure
What is the question?

They need a new camera man. It just gives me headaches. The camera man shouldn't want to be a star and constantly flim himself and keep on shaking the camera.
I love how the Sumos were going so easy on them like they are children 😂 It was very kind.
I laugh when the translator said they were going to kindly wrestle with them!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Given the massive size/strength difference, they'd actually *have* to be gentle, else they'd be likely to accidentally break bones or worse.
I mean, even if they're not serious a stiff shove would send Staffan and/or Thomas flying out the ring.
As a Japanese, I believe that many of us have not had the opportunity to experience Sumo House like you have. I truly appreciate that you created such an engaging video featuring our national sport.

As an American Id like to personally thank Japan for blessing the world with Ichiro Oda and his godly storytelling.
@@buyingin6859 Lol! We’re thinking those people are really Japanese.
@@iLoveLucy420 nice profile picture
#1 College student at 22 years old, training full time to be the best wrestler. Left Mongolia at the age of 15. Fluent in 3 languages. Smart. Talented. Hard working. Passionate. Respectful. I hope to see more of him and his journey. He's the definition of this channel. Yes theory needs to sponsor him and attend his big tournament. We're rooting for you! ❤
Do you know the name of that guy? Would love to watch his fights in the tournaments
His name might be チョイジルスレン, who came to Japan from Mongolia at the age of 15, and current champ of National Collegiate Sumo Championship. People from all over the world come to Japan to become sumo wrestlers because they can get rich. In particular, many strong sumo wrestlers have been born from Mongolia. Also there are famous sumo wrestlers from Russia, Georgia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Hungary, Tonga, Samoa, Egypt, and so on.
I never thought that a documentary about sumo wrestlers would leave me with such a warm feeling. What kind, loving people they are;
True I agree!
They left out the part where you get beaten up everyday
Same feeling here.
I was nervous first if anyone might make mistakes that may offend them then all the sudden started to feel comfortable and so happy at the end!
People often comment insult japan cult if it female revealing costum, yet justify if it even exposed teen boy semi nkd at sumo
As a Japanese, I'm glad you guys showed respect for Japan's traditional national sport. Very nice video. thank you! ありがとう!!
Japan is the greatest country in the world!
This man probably got to experience one of the rarest opportunities ever presented. So much respect to the dojo that allowed him not only to do this but with how much they were able to teach him in such a respectful manner.
I found myself smiling through out the whole video, those men really were just a spark of joy in the world. I hope that young man from Mongolia achieves his dreams
That young guy from Mongolia is the hottest prospect in Sumo. Many have him tipped to reach Yokozuna one day.
@@D0NKY Thats some Anime Main Character shit right there
@@D0NKY so are we watching a soon to be legendary rikishi in the making? thats a great news then! wish all the best for him!
@@ekay4495 Fun fact, major sumo tournaments are actually dominated by wrestlers from Mongolia. There are only a handful of Japanese wrestlers in the top ranks
@@D0NKYdo you know his name? Would love to support him
Steffan staying all by himself and surprisingly fitting with the group of sumo wrestlers was the best part. They just felt conformable around him, shared a lot, and named him "The Good Man" That was amazing.
Why everytime japan cult / other sport have revealing adult female custom we all whine like "japan cult that need to be banned, jpn men evil", yet if it sumo / men nkd fest were men even teen boy almost nak d photos by female tourist suddenly 'it cult'.
Why ppl rage over adult female custom at handball but justify nak d teen boy at sumo?
Idk what u talking about and i don't care
Why everybody mock japan cult when there's swimsuit fest that inc under 18, but praise japan cult when semi nak d teen sumo boy potrait by female tourist?
@@Brahim0801 Don't come to me bitch ng "how we must protect under 18 girl from being exposed in swimsuit", "castrate men pe do" then turnback and defend female& gae pe do to potrait almost nak d teen sumo boy, it hypocrite, yet if we call it out use 'o whataboutism again tactic' asian mentality, hypocrit anti pe do ppl
I love how much fun their translator was having throughout this. He looked so delighted agreeing to fighting for them and again when announcing that they’d be fighting on the the sumos.
The guy that used google translate to tell you the days lunch was such a sweet moment to see. I really hope they all can achieve their dreams, they're such sweet men.
Steffan is amazing, he's so uncomfortable at times but he keeps on seeking discomfort. Loved this episode guys, these fighters are so fascinating, like they've devoted so much of their lives into this! Thank you for showing us 'behind the scenes' of sumo wresting. :)
And it all started when they met him on a street, insane
A Viking 💪🏻
Amazing? The selfish fool made the video about him. He should be as quite as a church mouse no one wants to listen to him. It’s the sumo wrestlers we want to learn about. Couldn’t give a crap about the annoying Stefan
まるで欧米で見下され白人にいじめられてるアジア人のように居心地が悪そうだった
honestly i dont like him
I’m so happy Steffan asked to stay because you really truly get to see how nice and caring they all are. Even for someone that just met less than 24 hrs ago. This video was really heartwarming.
The word "masurao（益荒男）" means a strong, courageous, and honorable man. You got a good name, Steffan!
The fact that Stefan is very humble and very curious, it's prefect. One of the best episodes.

Steffan has really earned his position in Yes Theory through the boldness of his actions. I really enjoyed the level of respect and tradition deeply prevalent in Japanese tradition, the gentleness of these absolute warriors and the hospitality shown to you guys. Also the food looks really really good. Might need to move to Japan.

@@arigato__gyro Title or link please? Thanks
This was the biggest thing. Stafan was totally ignorant, but never once was he the slightest bit disrespectful. My hat is off to him.
Having worked and lived in Japan for a few years, it wasn’t surprising to me at all that the Sumos welcomed Staffan with open arms. Everywhere I went in Japan, Japanese people were proud of their culture and eager to share it with others. I have countless priceless memories of being welcomed in and encouraged to learn and try by kind strangers. Thank you Japan. You are amazing ❤
Steffan is such a great addition to the team. He brought such a heart warming perspective to this video. Keep being you dude!
This is probably my favourite video of Steffan 😃
I still wonder just what the odds of them meeting Steffan in Sweden that first time was. Everything happens for a reason I guess! A great addition to the team for sure.
He definitely had a quality that the boys had at the start that made this channel into what it is today. He would definitely thrive in an Abandoned In... challenge.
I am Japanese and it was wonderful to see this video, not only you guys chose the culture of my country, but the way you guys recorded it. The strength and dedication, and humility of the wrestlers, and the intensity of training was well captured. Hats off to you guys joining the training! Long live 益荒男 （ますらお, Masurao ）, the bold sumo wrestler…
Congrats to YOU and YOUR BEAUTIFUL CULTURE for keeping sports and sportmanship like this alive!
One of the best nights I ever had was "talking to" two Japanese guys that were visiting my home country Australia. I spoke no Japanese, they spoke no English. At the end of the night we we're rolling around in laughter!
4:09 Staffan's the most awkward that it's cute and the fact that he's the one who wanted to stay is really seeking discomfort...but the longer he stayed, spending time getting to know the wrestlers, building a connection with them, the smallest thing like wanting to sit next to his new friend.... I'd say he also brought some kind of comfort to them and vice versa. Nice one Staffan!
This was phenomenal
Thanks guys 🙏
Just got out of the deep end🌊
@@trailyo Water was cold today
I can’t believe that half of the team wanted to stay in touch after that with Steffan. I am a big fan of Japanese culture and the hospitality that people have there!
How do you know they wanted to stay in touch? Did i miss a part of the video? Because i was curious about this, these guys are amazing people who cared for him as if he was part of the family there at the house/training facility. I think it would be super interesting if they do stay in touch and when they go to compete for being #1, they tell him so he can go watch and etc
@@plaguedoctor1560 27:08
You guys got incredibly lucky to be able to stay at the heya and to meet Onosho. Onosho was the man in the white mawashi you fought 3 rounds with. He is in the top division which contains on the best of all rikishi in japan
this looks like an absolutely AMAZING experience. after getting terminally ill i have come to the realization that i have not lived my life anywhere near to the fullest,watching this make's me want to step further out of my comfort zone and do as much as i can in this world before its completely too late. insane how this video here has inspired me.
Please do not give up. At the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, there was a woman who was hospitalized with terminal cancer. She desperately clung to her hospital bed to avoid being swept away by the tsunami. Many people died, but she survived and worked hard for those who died. Then the cancer cells disappeared. It has been in the news several times, but it seems that he is now working well in the cafeteria. I pray from Japan that a miracle will happen to you too. I'm using a translation app, so I'm sorry if the sentences are strange.
@@user-lv9pr9or2h Very kind words.
the sentences are amazing @@user-lv9pr9or2h and this story too.
is there a video about this woman? この女性に関するビデオはありますか?@@user-lv9pr9or2h
I wish you to live a long and better life despite your illness.
It's great to see Onosho (the last guy that they sparred with) having some fun, having had to pull out during the last basho (tournament)! His tachiai (the initial charge rikishi do during a match) is always something to behold, the man is like a truck. Like you guys said, people REALLY underestimate just how athletic these guys are. Hopefully some of the people watching this will get a bit of interest in Grand Sumo. :) Thanks for this lovely piece! If anyone wants to dip their toes in a bit more, Chris Sumo is another amazing channel for sumo journalism. His pieces on Hakuho, probably the greatest rikishi of all time, are fantastic (Yokozuna for 14 years, 63 consecutive win-streak, 16 perfect tournaments (meaning no one beat him during the 15 days)).
OMG! YAASS! I am so glad I was right. I clocked that it looked like Onosho and it was wonderful to see him after his last injury!
If anyone is looking for good sumo channels to watch - I highly recommend Jason's All Sumo Channel.
@@troyyrob I had to double check myself! So used to recognizing them by their mawashi colour and fighting style, haha. Plus they're all so stoic, recognizing any rikishi smiling other than Ura or Tobi is difficult! I really wish they'd let the rikishi show a bit more personality during basho's.
I knew I recognized Onosho! So they stayed at the Onomatsu stable.
@@troyyrob Jason is a top bloke! And let's not forget the NHK's mortal enemy, Natto, despite him doing more for sumo worldwide then they ever will. Though Hiro and the Sumo Prime Time team have been doing good work as well.
As an American who lived in Japan for over 4 years, this is easily my favorite Yes Theory video of all time. What an amazing experience this must've been.
It was such a great video
What a Beautiful group of people, so heartwarming to see them all gathered around like one big family. The amount of strength each one of them contains is insane and inspiring!
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. I'm smiling from ear to ear. Thanks Steffan; also my level of respect for sumo wrestlers is through the roof. Amazing dedication and honor.
I agree I smiled ear to ear through whole thing
I was happy to see holly, you guys really have to go on another adventure with her!
I was thinking the same thing I was like my girl is back!!
They probably filmed both videos at the same time
@@ZiyadAzouny probably, they really should see if she'd like to join them more often. She seems really cool and helps liven it up!

@@dakalla I think it might be Onokatsu, who just debuted at the current tournament.
Honestly, Steffan had the best attitude and the kind of humbleness needed to get along with those dudes. Sumo is literally their entire life and he showed the kind of respect that allowed them to relax and be themselves. It must have been a nice change of pace for them as well.
I really needed a heart warming story today. I'm grateful this world has kind young men like your team.

are you referring to Ilie Pana s detergent?
I love examples of how friendship can overcome the barrier of language. What a great experience for Steffan.
What a beautiful video, such kindness and respect you guys showed to such an ancient tradition. Loved how they welcomed Steffan into their world
this was so cool to watch and i really enjoyed it, being a sumo wrestler takes so much commitment and it looks tough but the camaraderie seems so touching, what a strong community!
I could not stop smiling this whole video, Steffan is a bad ass! This has been my favorite episode EVER and Ive been watching you for years!
You look so good dancing
@@sveannnnnnn7578 Calm down simp
For those of you who don’t know, the last guy Thomas fought (Onosho) is actually one of the top rikishi in all of Japan. It’s quite amazing to see the more human side of these amazing athletes, and to see Thomas basically fighting the “Messi” of Sumo. As always, great job to the whole team, amazing storytelling and a great journey into this wonderful aspect of Japanese culture. 👍🏻
Onosho is good but Messi is an insane comparison lol. Not even close.
I am fully aware lol, but could not think of any other comparison. Just trying to showcase my amazing lack of football knowledge!! In any case, it clearly was a great experience for the whole Yes Theory team.
@@congra5580 Yeah, Messi is heavily overpaid just like most players. Just remember that soccer and most other sports are now only there for the money. Only good thing in the last years was Saudi Arabia throwing money at sports and showing everyone what a big meme it actually has become.
@@multa7053 I mean the reason he is getting paid so much, is because he is worth that much. if clubs could get away with paying him less they would, but he brings in the profits. So I wouldn't say he is necessarily overpaid. Still a morally valid question to ask. Is anybody supposed to be paid that much, when there are people dying because they don't have anything?
guys in one of the top 2 divisions wear white during training so keep an eye out for that when watching these kinds of videos. It's why the others applauded at him holding out so well, he basically fought the star of that dojo. Onosho in particular has risen very high in the top division.
日本人ですがこんなドキュメンタリーは初めて見たので驚きです。異文化の全く違う環境に飛び込んでいった勇気を尊敬します。Thank you for being respectful for our culture.
Doing stuff like this is a dream come true. Thanks for sharing the story! Experiencing stuff you’d never be able to normally be exposed to really opens up the world and teaches a better understanding.
What an awesome peak into a once closed world. I was blown away by their actual strength that was only surpassed by their kindness and down-to-earth-ness. Plus, I’m really glad you guys “found” Steffan. He def is the ultimate dreamer. I’m sure his stay in the sumo stable blew his mind. Great video!!!
Steffan has been a great addition to the team. He adds another layer of personality to Yes Theory in my opinion.
I just love watching people break down barriers. Really hits me in the feels.
This was a FANTASTIC episode! Thank you for giving us this intimate view of this amazing sport, and the even MORE amazing men who dedicate their lives to Sumo. Just amazing!
Staffan has a child-like wonder that instantly feels genuine ➡️ which leads to achieving closeness with others ➡️ therefore forming a connection. How beautiful! 💛
Its so easy to judge from outside but they were so welcoming. no judgements just pure acceptance. Even with the language barrier. Such a beautiful thing
the kindness and comradery shown between all of you is so genuine and sweet. makes me want to visit one day! thanks for the awesome content!
So many kind people in Japan. Even I'm back already few years ago, they still warm my heart.
I had that same experience as you folks back in the 90’s when Akebono, musashimaru, takanohana, and wakanohana was Yokozuna . We were invited because one of my friends new the cook . The stable we visited , their number one sumo wrestler was Daizen . People in Japan said what we experienced, most Japanese will never experience. You need to be invited or very wealthy. It was such and honor and something I will never forget. I’m glad you folks experienced it as well . ❤❤❤
Was it daizen takahiro?
@@SophiaGailecruz-pr8oo Yes
Yet another great quality and insightful episode from the Yes Theory gang. Well done Staffan on going the extra mile. Also great to see Holly again. She is such a great fit for your group, it would be great to have her involved in more episodes.
This video really makes me see just how precious Steffan is. The vibes were so sweet, and it's just what I need today for my birthday. ♡
Fabulous! I smiled during the whole video. Beautiful coverage!
Dude..... Yes Theory is so freaking cool. This is seriously so damn amazing. Bravo fellas
I really love how polite they were letting Thomas push em out , Japanese people are very polite
This is so refreshing and heartwarming. Love these guys
i think this is the best content i've seen on youtube ever made (going to a real place in the world and showing it, not just someone just speaking.) Thank you so much for your TRADE, LIFE AND WORK! and PASSION!
I’m a 66 year old woman who is thoroughly enjoyed watching this program. Thank you so much for having the guts to do stuff like this and for being able to share this keep it up guys.
Was astounded by how flexible they are. Congratulations to all the gentlemen willing to make the commitment.
This is my favorite video on the internet. I love everything about this extraordinary visit. I've never seen sumo in person and the sound of it during practice was beyond intense.
Amazing that they created a bond! It went from very shy in the beginning to a brotherhood at the end.
This is one of the dopest things I have ever seen. The fact that they allowed you guys to come in, film, and experience every aspect of it just goes to show how respectful you all are of traditions like this. I love these kinds of videos that give the average person a look into a lifestyle the have never or will never experience. Thank you for the INCREDIBLE content, keep it up!!!
I had a terrible day, thinking about quitting my job, and this video put a huge smile on my face. Thanks guys I needed it!
did you quit?
What a beautiful episode guys! Great work! They were all so kind
Beautiful Video I think the pandemic and the economic crisis have taught people how important multiple streams of income are, unfortunately having a job does not automatically mean financial security, I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance in these difficult times
I agree with you 100%. Did you know that the unemployment rate increased significantly between 2021-2022. People became unemployed. We should not depend solely on wages and salary.
The delayed impact of the global interest rate spikes, steady erosion of consumer savings and post-COVID pent-up demand, and deeply troubling global geopolitical context will result in market declines and re-emergence of market volatility
If inflation slowed down but if it reverses as interest rates rise higher, I believe the sectors that have driven this rally should be vulnerable to sharp pullbacks.
I agree. High-yield dividend stocks come immediately to mind as they offer steady passive income streams at inflation-beating levels, for a certain return should these crazy markets turn south.
On the contrary those high yields don’t penultimately mean the equivalent amount in dollars will be disbursed, I will advice seeking counsel from a local broker, I myself work with a fiduciary in New York although I am in South Dakota.
Thank you for sharing the experience. This single episode created more value than my monthly Netflix subscription.
Hey buddy, thanks for the Super Like! We strive to bring these stories to life in the best way possible, and knowing that you believe it's adding more monthly value than your Netflix subscription is such a compliment!

This is the first and surely not the last video of yours I have watched. I found this interesting, heart warming and quite informative. Mark me down as a huge fan thanks for doing and sharing this!!
what a beautiful video - my heart ist full, thank you - especially to Steffan!
This is quite possibly the best and most amazing thing I have seen on youtube. I am in awe of how much you experienced and what the stable as a whole was willing to share with you all. Amazing cultural experience.
As a half Japanese dual citizen of Japan and America it brings me so much joy to see Yes Theory be so incredibly respectful in representing the richness of Japanese culture and the Japanese ethos of honor, excellence, tradition, and hospitality. Keep up the amazing work. Love from the Japanese.
Really fantastic. Thank you to the wrestlers for letting the cameras in and letting us see the dedication and training regime it takes to be a Sumo wrestler. Really enjoyed this.
I think this might be my favorite experience you all have ever shared. Steffan embodies every bit of Good Man
It's been such a long time since I last felt this much moved by a YES THEORY's video. Don't get me wrong. You guys are as awesome as ever, but this episode, so raw and authentic, is a killer. Keep seeking discomfort and spreading positivity all over the place. Loveeee!
agreed
Steffan was a really great addition to the team, I think. It's so wholesome how the sumo house adopted him and basically made him family for the night. Also really rooting for all of the sumo wrestlers and especially the young Mongolian student. Hope his dream comes true someday.
Thank you so much for showing us such wonderful kind individuals and sharing their world…💕💐
Beautiful video. Thank you for giving this wonderful sport the love and care it deserves.
Being someone who has recently become physically disabled.. I have always wanted to explore the world as you all have. I am able to live though you guys and it brings a lot of joy. Thank you so much for amazing videos and your perspective of culture, environment, and people in the world around us. I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the extraordinary work.
I wish for all the best for you!
I appreciate the courage that you guys have, going out and doing these things, even if you dont feel comfortable doing it.
This was so amazing to watch after I have seen the Netflix show “sanctuary” about sumo. You guys tell the story well, fun and respectful. Definitely subscribing!
I stumbled across this video and after enjoying it, I will surely stay here always.❤ You guys are so awesome. I loved the sumo wrestlers before, but, now I have deep respect for the sumo brothers 🙏🏻. They are exactly like a heartwarming yet disciplined family. With every minute passing in the video, I smiled even more than before. What a great experience it was. Thank you.
the sleepover was phenomenal. Their respect, generosity put me to tears. Love the sumos.
The attitude you guys bring makes all your videos are genuinely “feel good” content. I find myself cheesin’ thru the whole experience. I loved seeing Sumo in this way. So much respect!
steffan im so excited for you i was on the edge of my seat watching your fights this is the power of discomfort a day to never forget
One of the best video about japanese culture I ve ever seen. They showed their ability to show hospitality even in a usually closed and sacred world as Sumo. So much kindness and respect here !
Stefan is such an asset to your mission. I felt like his overnight stay was really what made this a special inside look.
They were just the sweetest to the point that I was in tears. You all touch my heart revealing the most precious people in this world, time after time. Love y'all, so much for doing so.
Excellent episode! The commitment, discipline, and dedication of the rikishi are awe inspiring. respect!
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much!
I caught one or two of your videos over the past couple years, always thought it was a great idea. Something about this video opened my eyes to the beauty of what you do. This channel has such a deep message about one's self and not hiding behind fears. Thanks for sharing.
I needed this episode. I love how you never fail to bring the positivity in the world to the surface. Thank you yes theory
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen on KZhead. Thank you very much!
