“I hate getting tackled,” he said.

“I would just run all over the field.”

For a family YouTuber, the question could be complicated, as work and family time likely overlap.

Austin is also not shy about letting his friends be featured on the ACE family channel as well.

Austin has been known to speak positively of his friends.

Austin said, “That’s my guy.”

Me and him are boys.

I told him that’s the way to go.”

“Austin is so afraid of heights.

Until the day he proposed to his then girlfriend, Catherine, that is.

Catherine should have known something extra special was coming based on just how afraid of heights Austin really is.

I can’t even go on roller coasters, but for her, I’ll do anything.”

“The best feeling in the world,” he said after landing.

But, of course, the best feeling came later when Catherine and Austin were engaged.

Austin McBroom says that maybe they should.

In a deleted tweet reported byInsider,Austin replied to criticism over missing a regularly scheduled posting time.

“Some of y’all are ungrateful for free content,” he wrote.

“Some of y’all should be charged every time you watch someone’s video.

Idk why y’all think [it’s] just so easy to make videos everyday or every other day.

If it was so easy everyone including yourself would be doing it.”

Is Austin McBroom always villainized on social media?

In the now-deleted moment of the video, Austin is seen to be visibly frustrated, as is Catherine.

“It was a rough morning … We were frustrated with each other,” she said.

But Catherine and Austin both explained this was a normal part of a marriage, and sometimes they fight.

“Everyday,” he answered.

Clearly, being a parent in today’s world is not something Austin takes lightly.

“She was watching our videos in the hospital,” Austin recalled in the interview.
