Oh, would you look at that? It's February. What a month. What a month! I can't believe we made it again to February. I mean, what can we really say about February? I mean, I guess off the top of my head, I'd say that February is, well, it's the second month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. I'd say probably the month has 28 days in common years or 29 in leap years, with the 29th day being called the leap day. It's the first of five months to have fewer than 31 days, the other four being April, June, September and November and the only one to have fewer than 30 days. But what do I

know? It's also my birthday month. It's my birthday on Friday, 5th of February. I'll be turning

and I'm really excited about that. You know, great to hit my 20s at last.

So yeah, a brand new month, a fresh start, we're still all indoors and that's absolutely fine.

is also subscribed or followed depending on their platform

because that is of course the best way to get brand new episodes of the show but hey why am i advertising

the show to you you're already here you're already bought into the whole nonsense and so let's reward

your faith and your loyalty with a little bit of youtube news and let's crack on with our first story

about someone by the name of

James Charles, James Charles, and this is a YouTuber apparently. That's strange. I try and

keep up with all the latest YouTubers. This guy has not crossed my radar, but it seems he's making

a bit of a splash for himself. Now, as you may know, because I've covered it quite extensively on YouTube and use,

the video show on Snapchat and YouTube, and on Quickbytes,

there's a YouTuber by the name of Tony Lopez, who seems to be a real rotter, at least
