    Wierd how Karl's reason for the channel name, is exactly why I thought for months that Karl was a presenter for a organisation called Fact Fiend, and not the owner/creater/presenter/researcher for the channel.

    • @vannah12222
      @vannah12222 4 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      Lol same. Because in my mind it makes more sense to say (for example) "my TH-cam channel by me," not "my TH-cam channel with me," like in my mind you only need to say it's with someone if they don't own the channel, and are just a presenter. I Hope I'm making sense, I'm pretty sleep deprived right now.

    Your channel became one of my favorites because of how its like a typical hang out with friends in a sense that you talk about a topic drift off and then quickly return to the topic which has then spun off into other interesting topics which you return to in other videos. Also screw the punctuation and grammer checks

    Karl, You are an enigma. You are simultaneously proudly immature, but also achieve many feats of maturity that most elderly people never attain. The chief of which is rejecting money and recognise that you earn enough. Or at least I hope that's the situation, and you don't actually live in squalor, have no savings, no retirement plan, and will end up working on the tills at B&M bargains at 85.
