    Absolute pleasure - Thanks for having me on Ali!!!! 😁
  • How can anyone dislike Arun’s voice?! His voice is so soothing
  • @bhavya3853
    The only question I have is, Who called Arun's voice is irritating?! His voice is so soothing!
  • @rudrabarot1510
    I cannot express my gratitude for this collab. The two of the most influential people of my life are together!!!! OMG!!!
  • @ajahemmanuel_
    The combo is legendary, I love the humility and authenticity that Mrwhosetheboss brought to the room. At long run hard work still pays off. I hope he hits 10million subscribers before the year runs out.
  • That comment about ditching outros that sound like outros and the increase that that can lead to in terms of end screen clicks was an absolute gem!
  • @VagaBongKol
    Arun is one of the most honest YouTube creator and absolutely humble. His voice is just awww 😍😍
  • @octaviews
    I still remember subscribing to him when he had 20k subscribers. He always been such a hard worker and true to himself.
  • @jumaguzman
    These 2 guys are more similar than they have ever thought!
  • @Ari_diwan
    I've never clicked on a video so fast
  • @hiteshs6211
    Awww Ali feels so proud whenever Arun talks about the stuff he has told in his videos
  • We love Aaron because we know his review of any mobile phone or any other tech is 110% genuine
  • @LaureninGermany
    Ali, what you said around min 25 is very important. The time you spend with people you care about is priceless. Life goes by in a heartbeat and sometimes people or animals who want your attention are not around anymore and you have to live with that regret. You‘re on the right track, I think. Not easy, well done.
  • @mustgame2233
    Huge respect for Mrwhosetheboss. I never thought you're so humble
  • @MarinaMcPeak
    I was thinking the other day that this would be an incredible collab. Awesome and insightful conversation overall; I love seeing the ideas you’ve discussed over the last couple of years compound and become more refined through the deep dive discussions. Arun was an awesome guest as well! He’s very open and honest about his process and journey as a creator. Thanks for sharing.
  • This is an amazing conversation. I sit here bricking myself about quitting my job to go full time and this has certainly given me confidence.
  • @WaliKhan_2k
    Apart from absolutely fantastic 1 hour 30 mins of my YouTube watch time... there are 2 funny takeaways: 1 - This video cannot be played at 1.5x as every time Ali is talking, you won't comprehend! 2 - Man! the looks at Ali's face when Arun told that he has only 2 team mates lol... Ali was like - What the hell is my 25 man army doing!
  • I love how internal Mrwhosetheboss is. I love how considered his nuance is in how he speaks and shares information, and how deliberate he is in conveying meaning. Whereas, Ali is so outwardly curious and information-driven. It's interesting that Mrwhosetheboss enjoys being the teacher and Ali is so much in love with being a student. Essentially, they are both so much in their thoughts about the how and the why, that they convey value regardless of their individual drive to improve. Knowledge is always the ongoing pursuit of it more than it is any fixed point of having attained it. Seemingly, value and meaning is a continuous journey. I'm glad they continue to give information, content and value with a layer of intentional meaning.
  • @mteshinobi614
    Instantly clicked on this when I saw it on instagram. Two of my most favourite youtubers making a video together is not something you get to see very often. Also know that a lot of people in the comment's section feel that way as well.
