Thank you for being TRANSPARENT with us. Made me understand you better, and why you go so hard for your family. You have no idea how much your story and testimony motivated me. Keep going peaks, you’ve helped me get through a lot these past couple months since I’ve started watching you, and Shayla. This summer I’m trying to come down to the DMV and try some restaurants down there! Hopefully I’ll run into you guys! God bless, and keep going!

He’s really helping me through my hard times 😢 and I’m a younger 21 year old girly girly who loves watching girls my age on here that make the type of yt content I aspire to make.. but peaks is always my first thought to come to his videos cause he genuinely makes me laugh and entertains me through my hardships. Even me and my bf share laughs with his videos all the time.

Its real stand up dudes like you who are the REAL role models. Big up each and every time homie.

Mid video here Peaks. Your childhood experience is def central and personal to you. 58 year old Army Vet here. Love your sharing with us and not saying that you're ashamed of what happened but I can appreciate that you held it close to your heart and decided to share it. All of your past can do one or two things for you, make you an aware and better person or totally the opposite. I wasnt in foster care but my mom was abandoned by my father with 13 kids and she made it happen for us on the daily. I myself tried to defend my mom from my dads violence when I was probably about 8ish that I can remember. Heck, I didnt drink until I was about 20 in the military and afterwards didnt smoke until I was 32 after leaving my wife and going to a bar with "friends". Everything you've been thru as a child and thru teen is shaping you to the person who you are now. Kind of off topic but I lived thru bell bottoms (well my older bros and sis) and skinny jeans and the like, but my point is what comes around goes around and you will hear stories from younger peeps and you will be like DAMN I been thru that and you may offer them your knowledge and experience.... Watch and see. You're a better person and will continue to grow because of your past. ❤🇺🇸👍🏽 Oh, back to the video 😂 Ok, watched till the end. P.S. Peaks... You really dont have to explain everything that happened in detail because thats not what your channel is about. We def appreciate you sharing. Its awesome that you're an open book but if peeps wanna get that deep with you, they can sub to your Patreon and pay extra for the counseling. We love you for your content so keep keeping on and keep doing what you do! I'm not speaking for your thousands of subs but we just watching to see whats good and whats not and if you will take that drink with or without the straw 😂😂😂 Keep entertaining us bro 💪🏽
