Personal life
Lynch has a stutter, a condition he developed after a softball accident that hit him in the throat, damaging his vocal cords and knocking him down, resulting in traumatic brain injury. He is married.
On January 20, 2022, Lynch's service dog, Stella, who was commonly with him in his Youtube videos, died from health issues.
