A Deeper Q&A 

Palpable warmth, intellect, friendship--our boys have it all and are encouraging to those of us out here who may (at least for now) not have all those things in our life. Raised a smile and I'm happy to see you two so happy!!

My 2 daddies are back

So an observation from this vid. I may be off with this, but to me you two are really beginning to stand out in the crowd of couples on RU-vid. And that's refreshing! What I mean is this. You both are very "real" everyday guys, mature, intelligent, driven, family oriented. You both are not trying to be anything other than yourselves. I think the questions submitted to you for this Q&A show that a good chunk of subscribers see this and are enjoying getting to know you as real people. You are respected and liked for your honesty and real "dudeness". LOL dudeness is so not a word. Thoroughly enjoy your vids, you guys rock!

The great thing about you two is your honesty, the effortless sharing, listening to one another, not talking just because you love to hear your own voices. You savor your partner for what he thinks. It’s so much more than physical, and OMG the physical is overwhelming. What’s hottest is that your minds and spirits connect. Nate: If you’re interested in seeing movies based on Lovecraft, The Haunted Palace and Die Monster Die are my picks. Carpenter’s Mountains of Madness isn’t at all faithful to its source. Outside those, can’t think of any other crack at filming Lovecraft that’s half so Lovecraftian. Though the Gordon/Yunza films are major fun! Carson: Check out Huxley’s Ape and Essence, my personal favorite, about Los Angeles after a nuclear war. Also, if you’ve the energy, read his last novel, Island, with its man-made utopia in the tropics. Did you know Huxley was a Hollywood screen writer, who spent his last years as a Buddhist in Los Angeles and who, when he learned he’d been diagnosed with incurable cancer, committed suicide by taking an overdose of LSD?

*Carson & Nate your videos always make me SMILE!* #THANKYOU for always being authentic! (Also, I believe RU-vid should never be a third job, simply post whenever you want!) The *real fans* will always wait for content. 🌹❤️😍

Oh ! Living for Carson's t-shirt !

Damn you guys are amazing, your videos are so real, please don't change too much. Your guys happiness is infectious! Flushable toilets win again! ... and not dieing.

Thanks Guys for this V-Log. Good responses. Enjoyed the tips on books to read.

You guys are back!!!! I love you guys so much....great to see you guys back.

I have just recently started watching LGBTQ videos as part of my finally accepting that I am gay. I have been in therapy for anxiety and it turns out it was due in large part to my own homophobia towards myself. I read The Velvet Rage (twice) because of this video and it changed my life. I have finally started coming out in my mid 60’s. I now realize if I would have been honest with myself like Carson did, I could have had a happier life, but it’s never too late. Thank you for your inspiration. Also, Carson, You and I have the same taste in books, I have read everything on your list before I saw the video (except the George R R Martin, not big into fantasy...). Hope you get this and thanks again.

Yay!!! You guys are back! Carson looks much younger with the weight loss. You 2 are so gorgeous

Oh my at last a new video from you guys... huge fan of yours all the way from Philippines

Oh sweet Jesus, you're back, Thank God. I'm at work so I'm gonna have to sneak some Carson & Nate XOXO

welcome back gentlemen! glad to see you're well. I shall look forward to watching this later :) all the best!

I am so excited Nate busted out Dune! One of my favorite book series and movies of all time. So awesome you're a fan as well. Great vid guys!

Thank you for tell us about The Velvet Rage! I find it really difficult reading a book but just had to get it after I saw you talking about. I got the audio book and halfway through it now. Absolutely no words about how spot on this is. A blueprint of all gay men's lives and minds. Answers so many questions. Why so fabulous? Why so successful? Why some of us struggle finding real love. The different relationships we have with people in our lives and how it effects us. Even the essence of shame and rage in our souls. And also the deeper understanding of the other gay men in this world. My eyes feel opened. My soul awake. Nothing better in life that some emotional DYI. A must read for every gay man in this world of any age. Thank you again!

Hey Carson & Nate good to have you back, missed you :-) great vid, really good, well thought out answers to some tricky questions have a great rest of the week love to you both xxx btw...Omg, Carson, your arms!!!!

Glad to see you guys back and sharing a bit of both of your lifes 😊

Just your Instagram accounts alone were enough to motivate me to give up caffeine, nicotine, fast food and sugar. I've been free of all of that shit for a month, and I'm finally working toward my fitness goals. Just seeing two happy, successful people is really inspiring. Keep up the awesome channel!

You guys are such inspirations for me! Thank you so much

I'm so glad y'all got my note!! Thanks for the shout-out! :)

Good to see you guys. Another great video. Love from UK x

Both of you are so adorable. Keep doing what you're doing and being yourselves look forward to seeing more of your videos

Good to see you are well. Missed your vids.

Finally you're back!

Dudes finelly !!!!!!!!!! I miss you guys

GUYS, GUYS, GUYS. I- like, I can’t even express the ways you make me happy. Thank you.

Good Omens is in my top 10 books of all time, I've read it and re-read it nearly every year since it came out. Great choices guys! Carson, you should try listen to the BBC Radio 4 version of Good Omens, it's brilliant.

I only recently discovered your channel, and I love it ! Also, LOVING that Poke-T. Too cute !

hey, guys missed you, but this video made up for it, and it was nice to delve a bit deeper into who you are and what you're into. xx

Also guys, for a future questions and answers , I would like to ask where do you see yourselves in 20 years? I will look forward to your answers in the future. Thanks for sharing your lives with all of us!

I've been binge watching you guys for a couple of days now and have 21 episodes to go before I'm caught up to today, March 14, 2018. I find you guys inspiring and wish you the best. Thank you

WOW! You guys are awesome and your videos are so real, it's almost like you are sitting in my living room and talk to me. Please don't change. I've checked out other couples on RU-vid and they don't compare to you guys.

Welcome back!!! Love the video. Love you guys!!!!

Welcome back guys !!!! Hello from Hollywood , Ca

Never apologize for a video being long - lol! You two are so handsome and loving!

Carson & Nate use are so genuine your maturity is everthing such beauty love you guys xo from New Zealand

Been missing you boys! So glad for the new video! # DEEP You're soooooo not fat Carson! Um, hello! 😱Love you guys! ❤️

I am with my husband of 2 years and together for 21 years. I agree with never going to bed mad, it never ever solves anything and can make it worst. I like that you recommend book, can you recommend gay films that you like, my favorite is "Shelter". Let me know if you have ever seen it? Also, doing little things for each other is sweet and goes a long way. Be happy , be kind and be honest. Good luck and keep up the great work.

Love such authentic and well thought off QnA. ♥♥♥♥

Carson you look incredible! It's great you both seem so comfortable in this video compared to your earlier stuff. Also Carson your teeth look so whiteeeeee

I remember Brave New World in high school. Best book they ever forced us to read.

I'M STILL IN AWE OVER CARSON'S 60LB. WEIGHT LOSS. YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE MY FRIEND. PEACE TO BOTH OF YOU FOREVER!!!

Thanks for answering my question, Carson & Nate. Also, I have read the Velvet Rage by Alan Downs... it was a great read and I would recommend it as well!

Thank y'all for sharing...

Great to see you guys!! The Q & A was a great one. So many parallels going on. I think you both are adorable and really enjoy getting a little glimpse of your lives occasionally. Congratulations on finding each other. Tomorrow is our 30th Anniversary and I can safely say maybe only once did we ever go to bed mad at one another. Much better that way. Thanks again.

Yessss! Dune, Brave New World and Terry Pratchett!! You both got great taste!! Nate, get into Stormlight Archive! You'll thank me later!

Missed ya! Congrats Nate on getting started in your new position!!! Thx for the honest, thoughtful answers, guys. Have a great time vacationing, but remember the sunscreen this time!!! (Nate!) You can't use the excuses of no handsome guy to rub it all over you or remind you! ;)

Thank you for sharing ! You are absolutely adorable !

Yaasss you're finally back!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

😍😍 @ Nate's giggle throughout the whole video

I absolutely dig you guys!! Although I did not like a brave new world at all. Lol awesome QNA!!

I absolutely love you guys...your happiness give me hope every time I look at your vids...love you guys!!!

I was about to say, Carson you look like you've leaned out a lot!!!! Men in general are VERY VISUAL!!! both straight and gay.

YAY you guys are back!!!

Wowzers! Carson is looking very lean. You both look great. Missed you n much love guys!

Hey Guys, as always awesome video and Q & A was great. I think that the two of you are wonderful and truly believe in all that you both do.I admire you both for that and willing to share and show your life with all of us is beyond words can say. ..Take care of yourselves and will forward to seeing your next video. ...

The articulation in this video is incredible. Best thing I have ever seen in relation to gay relationships. Well done guys!

That books sounds really interesting. Gonna look it up. Thanks!

Y'all actually make my day. Honestly just... Bless 😂😂😂

Missed you guys, greetings from the U.K.

You guys are just to cute thats why i keep hope up my other half is somewhere

GOD bless boys , great video , i liked CARSON t -shirt.

I so love you guys. Ya'll are the best.

You guys look great! The gym and diet are paying off.

You might like the book "Master and Margarita". And also maybe "Foucault's Pendulum".

omg I've had velvet rage for 2 years and just read it this week and now I hear everybody talking about it. Reading it is like breaking out of the matrix.

you guys do need to be more careful when reading text. Texts do show emotions. when the question came up about what is your one go to thing to do to each other when you guys are sad. I thought Nate was actually responding to his go to thing to make carson happy. lmao Love the video!! :)

Welcome back!!

Keep up the good work, guys! Y'all are aces!

Great to hear from you great guys. Don't forget to 'slather' on the sunscreen; on your beach vacations, if you don't, it can come back to haunt you later in life. As usual, always wise counsel and good cheerful spirit in your repartee Many thanks.

Hello Carson and Nate, great Q & A.

I have been sick this week and vegging on youtube catching up on your channel. Great inspiration. Eventhough your relationship is still in its infancy stage you both will go along way together. As a gay man in a 29 yr relationship that is stale and uncertain about its future you have more going for you in your relationship in year 1 than i ever had. You are on the right track for certain. Set goals and work on them together and most of all communicate. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.

Just watched a couple of you vids and like you guys a lot. So I had to subscribe. Look forward to watching more.

You guys are my goals ! ❤️

Looking great guys, love the vid!

thanks for the video guys

Love, love, love Good Omens - got turned onto it by my old college roommate and had to buy a copy - got it signed by Neil Gaiman at a comicon and I think he was touched that I had him signing a book and not a graphic novel or comic

Loved the book recs. Keep doing that, please!

Agreed, I feel the same about films. Things that are real, or do happen don't entertain me, though I like history and period pieces. But Sci-Fi and Fantasy ftw!

Great questions and answers! Yes, if you want to adopt some day, I believe marriage is required. Just saw you went to Busch Gardens. Watching that video next. Love you guys!

You guys are and seem so happy, love it

HP Lovecraft and Dune, so much nerd love.

So happy to see the new video!! Thanks for making them they make me smile every time and give me hope that i might end up in a relationship like yours one day :) P.s. I love that shirt

Congrats u guys!!!! This Q&A reminded me to take the Hogwarts House Quiz. I know very little about Harry Potter and I haven't a clue the significance of the Gryffindor House. Love you guys, looking forward to your book.

Interesting books, among those you mentioned I'm quite curious to read Chatch 22. I know that I should not, books are always such a personal choise, but I would advise you to read some books that, depending on what you have shown, you may like. Carson, I recommend you read Kurt Vonnegut, maybe Slaughterhouse-Five or the less well-known, but equally interesting, Player Piano, or, in general, everything by him. Nate, on the other hand, I would suggest to you Cancer Ward by Solzenicyn: it is a novel about a group of patients in a Russian hospital in the middle of the Fifthies and the story of an impossible and tender love between a doctor and a patient of her. Solzenicyn describes with incredible subtlety the relationships established within a heterogeneous group of people, among people who suffers and who cares for.

Dune is a great book, especially relevant now for water crisis concerns in California.

I admire your relationship there is so much love and care in it. Plus you are both so freaking handsome. I love Good Omens. It is so darkly funny, with a nice Twist in the Story. Thanks for wanting to help People.

Love the photo at the end and thank you for the book recommendation really want to read that one about gay guys in a straight man's world

Carson, Nate, you guys are very cute together. gives me hope. Also Carson, love the haircut and the close trimmed beard, I really think it makes you look very handsome.

Carson where did you get that shirt and why have I not seen it in stores lol.

Nate read the Demon King. I loved it and could not put it down.

Since you are into Star Wars...do you guys plan on visiting Atlanta for DragonCon?

Oh and I'm writing a book. If it gets published it would be awesome if you guys read it. It's sci-fi fantasy

I am glad that you guys are doing great. Fights are normal! My partner are in our sixties and we still fight , that is if I can get to my walker! LOL Just kidding. But glad to see you happy, This from Texas!!

Love you guys awesome videos!

You look amazing !

Thank you for the Q&A! I've read Brave New World, 1984, Catch 22, Animal Farm, etc. But on a less serious note please read Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt! I almost choke to death laughing! Thank you again!

Yeah , Wicked I could not get though that either.... I passed it by too Nate... totally understand !!!

I think couples like you and others are true role models for the younger gay generation. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming and be happy. Life is too short for wasting a second on being upset. Get over yourselves and LIVE!
