Today is an AFK re-run of one of our favorite episodes -- t the spotlight shines on the legendary gamer, streamer, and philanthropist, DrLupo (Benjamin Lupo). We kick things off with an honest chat about DrLupo's Twitch ban and his and Ninja’s Fortnite reunion, then dive into Lupo’s transition from Twitch to YouTube Gaming, exploring the rewards and risks of this move, his evolving content creation approach, and the landscape of YouTube Shorts. DrLupo shares how his iconic partnership with Gillette came to be, offering insights into its origins and the importance of Gillette products for men. A trip down memory lane revisits Ninja Vegas, the event's development, and the current state of esports, and we wrap the episode by highlighting DrLupo's family life, including the incredible support of his wife and their journey into parenthood.
