Solid logic from wade if thieves want something inside your car a locked door wont stop them if nothing valuable in your car then car wont get damaged

I can’t believe he’s still so small with how high quality his videos are.

Ethan thank you for giving me and my girlfriend quality content to watch while she goes through pregnancy. We love your videos and how funny they are while still being family friendly and I’m glad I have a YouTuber I can show my son too.

Look at our man. Getting sponsors<br><br>But I do wonder what he actually does outside of youtube. With everything he does and the time he has to spend, I'd wager he's pretty wealthy. Just curious.

Hostels: bring lock (I use mine at work now), travel sheet, and ear plugs. At least they’re wooden berths and not ikea metal beds (yes, south beach has those). Also it’s a one-gender room, not a mixed. Plenty of hostel-positive and friendly YouTubers out there who are more well-travelled and who are comfortable going out and about to new places.<br><br>Ethan, branch out and spread your wings. Go around and see some new things. Young people are sheltered these days.<br><br>I am wondering if he would ever stay at the Bowery in NYC. Bro would freak out.
