So it was announced about a month ago that I'm going to be acting in my first movie.

And this is a huge plot twist, okay?

Pun intended.

It's a massive plot twist in my life.

To all of you, because you've all known me for my entire career as a YouTuber and podcaster

who's themselves.

That's what I built my career on. But it's also a plot
