| 0:06.5 | Not like everyone else, but I do respond to every single comment, and I will until I can't anymore. |
| 0:11.7 | I think the guy he had last week talked about 80,000 subs, he had to quit. |
| 0:15.9 | I respond to every single comment because I do want to understand what people are struggling with. |
| 0:21.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome to this week's episode of the YouTube Creators Hub podcast, Dusty |
| 0:26.2 | here. As always, we have a wonderful guest for you today. I want to encourage you to do a few |
