Answering the question asked by Jacobs, Tyson shared about his start on the MrBeast channel. He shared that Donaldson was two years younger than him in school and was actually friends with MrBeast’s brother, CJ. But they later became very close friends and the reason behind that was due to the interests the duo shared.

Talking about his school days, Tyson shared that many people were not interested in YouTube back then. During lunch hour, he and MrBeast were in a small group of six people who mainly discussed about YouTube.
