Bumstead also disclosed, “Public speaking is the furthest thing from my forté, but this was a fun challenge to excel myself in ways that make me uncomfortable and a great chance to pass on some of the knowledge we have picked up over the years.” Bumstead has yet again proved himself to be open-minded and his willingness to experiment and learn by trial and error has made him the man he is now.

This wasn’t the first time Bumstead has interacted with his fans. Earlier, in an interesting Youtube video broadcasted in January 2023, Bumstead answered intriguing questions asked by fans.

Bumstead answered these questions as a guest on the 9th episode of the Youtube channel Raw Nutrition. Reacting to being called “Daddy,” he stated, “Online being called Daddy is one thing. It’s funny.” However, he stated that a grownup person addressing him as Daddy in face-to-face interaction, especially in front of his wife, was very odd to him.

He also gave a heartwarming response when asked whether he wished to have a mini Cbum. His reaction to this was, “Would love a Mini Cbum.” Further, he elaborated that being a father would give him a sense of fulfillment.
