I like this man! At first I thought the speech was a little familiar but then I realised that just like the original speech, I agree with these words even more

“the young people who rejected there parents advice not to go into AV… jobs that offer little pay, and less sleep… You didn’t do it for me, you did it because you like to play with expensive equipment with lots of buttons,”
Love it
