Mr. Macaroni further expressed his gratitude to Hilda for inspiring him to do more and shared the greatest lesson he learned from her achievement.
In his signature comedic style, he announced his upcoming record attempt called “Freak-A-Thon,” where he plans to spend the longest time chasing “freakies.”
