Hi, I'm Dustin. Most of you know me as Flag Guy. The dude who does this For the past 7 months I've mostly stayed away from making flag short videos due to my health. But I'm coming back and I need your help. #1: Comment on this post. Let the algorithm know that you're still here. #2: If you see a video that you want me to respond to, do this Since I started this back in October 2023, your comments and tags have essentially been my bat signal, and I wanna keep it that way. I'm also gonna be covering new topics and doing new idiotic bits. So if you see my username and get confused, don't scroll away. It's me I promise lol Thank you folks for still being here. Now put me to work
