Now we're good. Does that mean we're live or that we're...

You're live now.

Gidey everybody. Welcome to the very final episode of Pints with Aquinas in this studio.

Studentville Edition.

Studentville Edition. Before I explain any further, I want to let people know that we are going to be building a brand new studio down in Florida.

And we have the plans for it. And if you want to help us do that financially, it's Paints with Aquinas.com slash studio. So please click that because we give you free things in return depending on how much you're able to give us and it would really help me out. Like episodes, for instance. Technically, these are free, aren't they? What's that? Like episodes. Yeah, episodes are free.

That's the least you can do it.

How's it going to look different?

Well, it's going to be a lot bigger.

So I've already got the space.

It's above like this hipster coffee shop and record place and like a new, I won't say

where, but in a place in a nice town, nice downtown place. And it's, um, it's going to be, it's going to be nice. Yeah. And it'll give a lot more depth. People when they walk in here are shocked at how small this is, this, this room. Sure. Yeah. So it'll be like four times the size of this room. So I think it'll look really nice. And we need to get new cameras. These cameras, people probably have noticed if they've watched the show for a while, they'll go in and out of focus. And someone pointed out to me, it's because these Nikons are really meant for photography more than they are video. Video, yeah. Anyway, so we're buying a hole. Jacob, hi. Hi, man. How you doing? So nice to have you. Thank you so much. I'm really honored. I mean, quite genuinely honored to have this chance to interview you. All right. As your final thing you do in the studio and almost thing you do in Zoomville. So this is this is special. Thank you. We should tell people too that we've just I've just got this is my tenth interview this week. Holy smokes. And so the reason we're we're so even though this is the final interview in the studio, you're going to people are going to be seeing like six or seven or so more interviews in the more in

this studio. Yeah, because it's been, we've done a ton just to kind of get ahead so that

we can build the studio and stuff like that. So I just want to get that out of the way before

everyone's like, wait a minute. Well, I want to ask you about your time here in Studentville, but I want to first ask you,

at what point did you know that Pines with Aquinas, the show, made it?

I'd say when I got 100,000 subscribers.

That was right when you moved here.

Yeah, it was about two weeks after I think I got here.

Wow, so when you moved here, you thought this could be what I do. I might have to find some other gig. I never, I mean, I never intended to find any other gig. But your question was like, when did I feel like, wow, this is really succeeded? I think when I got 100,000 subscribers. I remember thinking to myself, yeah, there are YouTube channels that have millions,

but if I can't sit back and just go, wow, this is something, then I'll never be able to do it. Yeah. You know, it's something you're always chasing, but never finding. So when I got 100,000 subscribers, I remember being like, wow, that's a real, that's a, that's a beautiful accomplishment. And that's what they sent you. You can take it off because I'm going to be literally unpacking these bookshelves.

So that doesn't have to go back up. So this actually, this showed up at my house, I think. Yeah, you were living there at the time, right? And I remember we broke open, gosh, what was it, a McCallon? Well, I can't remember. See, you were kind enough to let my wife and I and family stay at your house
