When I finally have free time from classes, work, and doing homework, these are my top 5 go to YouTubers to watch!

Tana Mongeau and Brooke Schofield – The Cancelled Podcast

I have been watching Tana Mongeau since around 8th grade in middle school. I love her so much even though she gets into sandals. She created Cancelled originally because she always gets canceled, so she made it into a podcast where she talks about messy and crazy life stories and pop culture. Her cohost, Brooke Schofeild, used to be known as “Mindy” in one of Tana’s story times since Brooke hooked up with a Tana also hooked up with. Here’s the video if you want the tea: https://youtu.be/w7f_wyZovcU?si=yep26uJU_XJSSMyk. Together they are the best duo and the most entertaining lives ever!

A simple Tana and Brooke episode that isn’t too crazy!

Trisha Paytas – Just Trish Podcast

Say what you want about Trisha, but watching her now, she has matured and is in a much better mental state than when people know her from. She has her cohost, Oscar Gracey, who is known in the entertainment and media world for his interviews and being a journalist. Together they are another iconic duo and balance each other out. They talk about pop culture and the entertainment world more than their own personal life stories. They put their opinions and own stories together. They have a segment called “hot topics” where they give their opinion on things that may be a hot take.

This episode with my fav, Brooke, that I loved and healed me!

Jc Caylen – LIVE WITH JC CAYLEN/JcCaylenVODS

I have watched Jc Caylen since as early as I could remember watching YouTube. He was in a YouTube group O2L and that ended in 2015. He created a collab channel with Kain Lawley who was also in O2L and their channel is KNJ. Jc is now a Twitch streamer since before Covid started, but gained a lot of subscribers once Covid happened since he consistently streams. Since he streams on Twitch, he and a few of his friends who also stream created a collab channel named Camboys. Jc records his streams and uploads them to YouTube for his followers who can’t tune in live to his channel hence the channel names. LIVE WITH JC CAYLEN are his longer stream clips rather than JcCaylenVODS which are his stream clips cut down into a YouTube video style vlog.

The funniest three going through a haunted house!

Jake Webber – Jake Webber Live

Jake Webber is another YouTuber I’ve watched for years. However, this year I got into his videos more since he does what Jc does, puts his stream clips cut down into a YouTube video style vlog. On this channel he tries new food items from fast food places and restaurants. Jake is also in the Camboys and streams on Twitch. Aside from his Jake Webber Live channel I love to watch his main channel because he makes entertaining videos. Not sure what to categorize Jake’s videos as, you just have to watch and see…

Some holiday drinks inspo from Jake Webber!

Tyler Oliveria

Tyler makes educational videos on topics such as homelessness, drugs, and much more. I love watching his videos because they open my mind more to how some parts of the world is living. Overall, very different from my usual videos I watch, but I still enjoy watching.

A recent Tyler video I watched and enjoyed!
