Summer has arrived and everyone is excited things are opening up. Carlos has spent enough money during the quarantine to start his own gym!  Tom finally gets his hot tub!  Yes, you read that right!... it makes sense since he's in a world of copyright claims, disputes, ownership conflicts with his new movie channel  The Midnight Screening.

As if that's not enough to deal with, Tom decides to launch a new podcast called The Pro Channel Manager Podcast, aimed at pro YouTubers and professional channel managers looking to level up their skills. Covering topics such as keyword research,  rights management, channel audits, interviews, and much more. 

Lots going on in YouTube land as YouTube continues to clean house, demonetizing and canceling YouTubers. YouTube has temporarily suspended ads on all three of Shane Dawson channels. Liza Koshy & David Dobrik have apologized for making racially insensitive jokes in past videos. Jenna Marbles announced she's quitting Youtube… whew, where's that hot tub?
