Both: Three, two, one, Happy 10 year YouTube anniversary!
Martina: That sounded smoother in my mind, but when we said it, it just went out forever.
Simon: So, on May 30th 2008 is the day that we landed in Korea
Simon: To start living overseas as teachers and it's also the very first video that we've ever shot
Annyeonghaseyo!
Martina: We're here in Korea and we're enjoying our first meal even though it's like 9 o'clock at night in Canada
Simon: What I have here is a kimchi soup and
Simon: And... it's spicy as hell but it's some of the most delicious kimchi soup I've ever had
Martina: The very first video we ever filmed we had just gotten off the plane and then we went for soondubu jjigae
Martina: Oh my god, you know what's funny is, I recently tried to imitate that video and I can't even fake that bad of an accent.
Martina: I'm like "an-nyeong-has-eyo!"
an-nyeong-has-eyo!
Martina: But, even now, I'm saying like "...haseyo!"
Martina: Like I've got the...
[playing around with saying the word in different intonations]
an-nyeong-has-eyo!
Martina: Oh my god. I have no idea that that video would go up online and be viewed
Martina: By anyone outside of like Mom, Dad, Nicole and like your family. That's it
Simon: So in our 10 years living overseas and in our 10 years of creating videos of YouTube, we've seen a lot change
Simon: We've grown a lot and a lot of different things have happened
Simon: so we want to spend this video rambling for a very long time about
Simon: many of the different things that we've learned from these 10 years of YouTube because our
Simon: Perspective is going to be very different from other people that might be a lot newer to the platform whenever we think about YouTube and the state
Simon: That it's in right now. We think about like the whole 10 years and let me tell you back in the days
Simon: It was grim, boy. There was no YouTube app. There was no notification bell,
Simon: There were no playlists there were no annotations
Martina: The comments couldn't be like you couldn't block or hide or
Martina: like all the things you can do now the listing of ordering from like newest to..
Martina: I mean, there's just so many things
Martina: You know what strikes me though as the thing that I recall the most
Simon: What was the biggest thing that changed on YouTube?
Martina: Oh, I think the biggest thing was for two years for two
Martina: years
Martina:There was no ability for us to make a single penny. That's right
Simon: Adsense was not available in Asia for two years and we were making videos. So we were just making videos
Because we enjoyed making videos. It was fun
We didn't go into YouTube to think that we're gonna make a career out of this.
We just had a quirky little hobby
We were doing this to connect with our families
and we were doing this also to connect with a lot of the community of people that were moving to Korea as
Teachers a lot of our first videos are about like how to use your washing machine
How to make lesson plans
How to, like, throw out your recycling
So, you might remember a couple of videos ago, we showed you our brand new super cool cellphones
Hi guys, I'm a T-money card
So, this acts as a re-loadable card for the subway, or the bus
And people have told us that it also works for a few taxis
So, this box is going to be right here, and right here
So back then it wasn't like a business idea was just for fun
What I was gonna say was not only was it not a business idea
It wasn't like a "hmm maybe in the future we could make money" because it wasn't even like an inkling of possibility.
So like nowadays, I think a lot of people that will join YouTube will go "this could be a career"
Like, "maybe if I try hard enough or I work hard enough this could be a career"
and then as things start getting rolling for them
it's kind of like starting a part-time job and then maybe one day ad-pocalypse happens and then you're like
Furious because what you've been paid has suddenly changed but for us we're like, "is it better than getting paid nothing for two years?"
For real, anyone that's complaining about demonetization. You haven't gone two years with zero dollars
So yes
Demonetization is an issue for a lot of people but for us we will always remember those
Hungry, hungry 2 years that we had. Nothing will feel as bad as that time
Simon & Martina: Fun fact!
Did you know that we used to make our own music from scratch because there were no YouTube library
Yup
Currently we pay for academic sound which is why our music library has changed a lot because we're actually paying for like incredible artists
Yes, the music's a lot better quality than what we used to make on our own. So we started using GarageBand Martina had a little keyboard, as she would
doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo
baaa- baaa- baaa- baa daa baa daa
Here are my favorite hit songs
[Light base tune]
[Beatbox-y rhythm]
This week's Music Monday is the godly edition with JYJ's "Ayyy Girl"

[groovy playful electro-synth]
Welcome to this week's kpop chart update
So this ties
into the question that we asked for our sponsors in the community tab happy hauser wound up asking have there ever been times even
Now we felt that continuing a career on YouTube could possibly no longer be a viable option
For the future of the company and for us the answer is every damn day
Every day I keep on expecting
YouTube to just like shut down not because of I'm noticing any trends in YouTube that make me think that way but I just
Remember there not being anything like this before
So if things go back to the default of 0 ad dollars and zero possibility, really. Yeah, it figures
Yeah, we kind of feel like we had a good run
Yeah
you know never thought never thought we'd go this way so we could so I think that's why that whole
Stressful side that's happening with newer creators
like I think that that stress that they have is because um
It was kind of locked in the mode that
YouTube will succeed and YouTube will always be there, but because we entered in before there was YouTube possibility
Then it started happening if we were like, whoa, this is pretty cool
Woah! Holy smokes!
We've always been like strap on the helmet. We're gonna enjoy this bumpy ride
And that mentality sticks with us to the stage a lot of our opinions of YouTube are going to be tainted by that so
They might not be fully applicable to you or to other youtubers
But maybe this could offer a different perspective as opposed to what you might be hearing online
Tuesday, we are moving out of Bucheon into our new apartment, in Seoul.
We just have so many places here that take care of us for so long
Simon: Are you crying already?
Simon: Ducky!
We have our *Korean* shop, and the *Korean* place.
and the Japanese restaurant, and the
And we have to say bye to all of them
I know we're not even leaving Korea, but still...
Don't be afraid to change
But it's scary
It feels scary to change.
Because for those of you that have been watching us for a long time
You've seen very many changes with us including like how we physically look like back when we started
I was like a dorky looking pudgy little teacher with glasses and a little
like crappy hair and then like I had a red mohawk and I shade the side of my head and then I became like a
Twig and I was super skinny. I like a 180-pounds and then after the red mohawk, I went to the struggle bun
do you remember me holding on to like my hair and then I
Accepted my baldness and I shaved my head and now I have a big beard
I've changed so much fun fact back when I had a red Mohawk, male demographic was only 7%
So small, but since I started growing my beard the male demographic went up to 40 percent
I think we know what that means. Hey, boys. You like my beard. Yes, you do. Oh you meant
Hey men, don't unsubscribe. Like this!
and when we say don't be afraid to change
we're not just talking about like physical appearance because obviously
Everyone's gonna change in like a 10 year span right when we're talking about don't be afraid to change your contents
Yeah, when we first started doing YouTube videos
We were really focused on the X hat community and then we started to get into music reviews
Right we started to do kpop reviews and that was actually for our students. Yeah
A lot of people don't know that
Yeah
It was really hard to connect with our Korean students because at first they were really excited that you were there that you're like an English speaker
Uh-huh
But then that fun wears off after like three weeks when they realize that you have to actually teach them something so we got into
Kpop for our students and then we started making these reviews and then we show our students these videos like Acts
at the end of class and it was in English and when we were doing these k-pop videos who did it for a while until
Afterwards when we learn more about the kpop industry how dark was how people are being treated terribly
We just kind of started falling out of love with it and it was a big move for us to say
Hey, I'm not passionate about this topic anymore
I don't want to do it and we stopped and there was like people that were pretty upset about it
But that didn't mean the end of our channel
We kept growing we kept trying to change we kept on trying new things and it's so scary
I know if you have a
formula that you've got down pat you think this is what my audience likes but sometimes if you don't feel it in your heart you
Can't keep pushing yourself to do it. It's like people feel like well, it's working
So I guess I'll just do that and you know exactly what I mean
When I say this, you definitely see if there are some youtubers that you watch that
You know that you see that the love has died from their eyes
and they're just churning out their videos because they think that's what their audience wants and
then when people stop watching them when their numbers start dropping or their
Subscribers start dropping. Here's the next thing they start blaming the algorithm for it people get bored of content
It's natural like we've had favorite TV shows that we like like we used to love 30 rock
I watched like three or four seasons of it and afterwards I'm like, yeah, I get it
It doesn't it's not really that new for me more on Brooklyn nine-nine
Yeah, and then after was like man, I've had enough of Brooklyn nine-nine. That's not the algorithm
Sometimes you just need to change and so you have to accept that you're not maybe everyone's cup of tea and so for us
When we started doing kpop we enjoyed it
We loved it and then it started to get really dark and it started to drag us down right we got bored
And we change and it was scary. Scary. People told us like 'Oh, everyone's gonna leave your Channel, right?' 'Okay
well if they do, they do' because I don't want to be making videos that I don't wanna do it
Right and then two and a half years ago we decided
Hey, let's stop making Korean videos all together and move to a new country. Let me tell you that's terrifying as well
We had a coffee shop. We had a studio we had staff
we got rid of all that so we could come and try something new and a lot of people have noticed in the coments that
We look a lot happier. Yeah, there's a joy in her eyes again. There's a spark you have to be true to yourself and not
Just make videos for a machine
Be yourself, be yourself
My snow globe collection. I dont want to be myself
No one no one's seen it? Fun Fact: Even though we're often talked about for reviewing kpop
We also introduced less or no Korean indie music from February 2012 up until when we left for Japan
During the Korean indie playlist and then later on during Martinez mixtapes
honestly
It's always disappointed us that Korea only pushed kpop while ignoring the super talented Korean musicians and artists that they have right under their noses
If you're sick of kpop but you still love good music
I really urge you to check out our past Korean Indie playlists to discover some new musicians
And we have a very, very special edition for you. Because it is
I think the biggest weakness that we've had in our 10 years of YouTube
Even to this name we struggle with it is how we handle negative comments. I feel like we're such a strong couple
Otherwise, we're so driven and we work hard but negative comments are just so tough to handle
We are a lot better at it now than when we first were because I remember like when we first started getting negative
comments
we actually wanted to
Just delete our YouTube channel and move back to Canada and live in the woods away from society
Because I thought that everybody in Korea had seen our videos and had little prison shives and they were gonna stab us in the streets
Yeah, we did not handle the criticism well at all. Oh my gosh when Shinhwa made a come back. Oh my god
We just simply said Shinhwa even though we immensely respect them for doing all that they did back in the past are more relevant back
In the past not so much right now in the era of kpop boy bands Shinhwa is more of a man band
And so when this song came out on the kpop charts, it only got sixteen hundred votes
Which is good but compared to in Lhasa and EXO. They got around nine and ten thousand votes
You see what I'm saying here. So I think that the noonas are totally digging the song but younger people
I'm not really all too sure. Now, please correct me if I'm wrong here
It's just that
Shinhwa didn't crash our site and take down our server the way SHINee did let us know what you think in the comments
so if you haven't seen it yet check out Shinhwa's Venus coming up next
I mean, the death threats rolled in
I was like, "we can't leave our house"
No, we were still living in Bucheon. Yeah, I was like we can't leave our house
We were looking out of our Window like, "does anybody know where we live? Are they looking at us?"
Are there any like..." it was weird like, we were not comfortable with the negativity at all
And I think that something that really woke me up and kind of like shook me out of this
Perspective was actually my friend Jackie
Yep and I was ranting to Jackie about how scared I wasn't help said I was and I mentioned the word tumblr and she was like
What's a tumblr and I was like, I'm sorry. What what do you mean? What's the time?
What's a tumblr and so I realized right?
there's a divide between
The real world that everyone functions in and the internet world and sometimes you need to take a step back and go
This is not your life
not a
Representation of the whole it's not a representation of people who care for you or your friends or your audience members that like you this
is a representation of something on the internet that's like
It's a program that you can close. I can close Twitter. I can log off of time I could walk away
I could go have a meal somewhere to talk to my friends. I could go play some baseball
yeah, they're like
it just feels like hard it felt for us because we were just like
Starting and we were growing and like our careers depend on this
It makes us afraid that we're gonna be able to keep on going and we're not that way anymore
Yeah, we stepped back from that kind of a fear. Yeah
The very first time that we actually went to a Google office and we met YouTube employees was back in Google Korea
And I remember when we stepped in there. I felt like I was invited to the Oprah show
Yeah, I felt like this is it I've made the big time
This is back when we had only like 20 thousand subscribers
And the first thing that we were discussing with our partner manager at the time was how do we handle online trolls?
Yeah, it was literally the first thing like I don't know what to do this person to say negative things about us
We wrote back to people and we used to be really rude. Sure. I mean, I regret that so much. Nah. Yeah
ruh-roh root of our
University Souls, you know tear people down for their commentary
I know and it was me and we were really firing back and then they were like just ignore him
What do you mean, huh? It means a signaler them after talking to a partner manager
We realized if you're only taking care of the weeds in your garden
Like if there's this giant thorny, you know dandelion growing up and you're watering it and you're taking care of it
It's gonna grow and it's gonna take over all your beautiful flowers and all the great things. So we really said, okay
Well, why are we focusing on these negative things in our garden, right?
why don't we focus on the amazing commenters that are leaving positive comments a big step in this is
accepting that people are going to have negative opinions of you and you can't change that and you
just have to be okay with yeah the effort that you try to put
Into changing somebody's mind often time goes on her teaching them a lesson oftentimes won't change your minds at all
They'll probably even see the Commodore even respond to it
Not probably like most that like we've read along cause they don't even look at it now
You can't let that affect you and after 10 years
We're not perfect yet
But I feel like we're in a lot better place than we were when we first started and let me tell you up
Stepping away from talking about kpop has made things a lot easier because they nobody mad about a cheese sandwich
But people sure are mad when you talk about their favorite singers
Sure. Sure
Sure
Fun fact our McDonald's delivery video was our first viral video. Yep. I wish there was some
Magical way I could have McDonald's just pure doorstep
And I remember we went to sleep uh-huh after posting up that video yeah woke up and there were so many views it was like
50,000 views on the video overnight like what?
what has happened here?
and we saw the comments and everyone was like 'this is not true'
American this is alive and no one knew even though in the video
We were like delivery in the Korea! people were like 'this
is a lot' and it was the first time for us to ever experience a really negative comment, right?
It was our first experience with troll. Yeah, and we were so shocked. Yeah, we were gonna remove it
I know this is terrible these people they say all these now were used to it
So whenever we wake up in the morning and I checked the comments. Yeah, if I see three angry comments in the row
I'm like, we're probably on the track. I look like yep. There we are
You're so ugly kill yourself you can tell now just by the comments if you're on the trending page
Speaking of being true to yourself. Here's another one for people that are looking to make a career online
Hey don't say yes to every single brand deal that comes your way. A lot of them aren't necessarily good for you
They're not good for your content and they're not good for your audience
we have said no to
many more than we've said yes to I think one of the things that people are afraid of is when you first get approached with
A brandy like for the first time ever there's a few times you think this is amazing, right?
If I don't say yes, then nothing will ever come my way again. Sure
but if
Someone is coming your way or if there is a deal coming your way
Odds are you're gonna have more it sounds like it's a fluke like we're gonna give you this money and then no other brands ever
gonna put exactly I I want to be able to look back on my career whether it was as a teacher or as a
Youtuber I want to be able to know that like everything I've said yes to that
I'm like, yeah, I'm glad I did that right?
I don't want to look back and have regret or
Or feel like I was selling something to you guys that I didn't believe in myself
Exactly whenever we do a sponsorship is usually for something that we believe our audience is gonna like
It's something that we believe will be useful to you
And it's also something that we think we can make a fun video on
Yeah, if it doesn't meet that criteria, we don't want to work with them
So there's a lot of brands that we've worked with before and when they give us a contract or when they discussed firms with us
It is very rare that we ever just okay to it. We'll say things like
well, we don't really do this approach. Like can we do it this way?
I prefer to do it that way and we've had a lot of people be like, especially now that u2 is become more popular
but we've had people say things to us like oh, well we work with
You and they don't make these requests and then we go. Okay, then I guess it's not gonna work
And then they're like wait. Wait. What do you mean? What do you mean? No, I'll give you a real quick example
Yeah, if you knew how many plastic surgery clinics messaged us in Korea Korea. I mean we could have 100% retired
I'm aware of my facial flaws. Yes, you know not have made that extreme. Don't worry
You've told us exactly how I blue you are
We know every single week our bodies just as well as you got it still don't want plastic surgery
It's not for me
And I don't blame that's a message that I want to share with other people that plastic surgery is your thing fine
That's not my thing. That's not something that I want to endorse for other people
So we turned it down multiple and many many times
we were really excited to be able to work with brands that were able to accept us for who we are and we were really
Happy to reject brands that don't want us to be ourselves and I hope that the videos that you see that are sponsored you enjoy
That it doesn't get in the way of you enjoying the video
Yeah and we always make very very sure to disclose every single brand deal that we have just in case you feel that we're being
Dishonest which we never will be I at least want to give you that extra bit of information so you can make the decision on
your own
Small tip that you should probably consider
That's a very important one if you ever get approached by a company read your contract
Make sure you read who owns the video rights. Make sure you read how the payment is going to be done
Make sure you read what their requirements are and don't be afraid to make amendments. Just read your contract
I can't believe how many people we've spoken with that
Don't read the contract and get trapped in really bad situations. And what I will say is that contracts are made to be confusing
Yep, when we first started reading contracts,
I was like, I don't know what this means when they're like the worst therefore now referred to as hit their two
Client's incredibly long run-on sentences, it can take us weeks
It can take us months and can take us a long time to read to these contracts, but that way yeah
We never have to get in trouble or have problems with something that we don't like if they are
Really complicated and you can't read it. You need to hire lawyer here and there are levels of lawyers
There are ones that are like made for people that can't afford lawyers
like us!.. and I know that some people will say like well, I don't want the money to high lawyer
Okay, but you won't have the money to anything after you sign your life away on this contract
Yeah, there is no rush have patience
Balance.. Zuko you must have balaaAaAncEee
Speaking of terrible contracts here's a very important one do not join an
MCN an MCN is a multi-channel network
You might have heard of some of them before which I'm afraid to name right now because they seem I try to see
But they are these like different networks that like own a bunch of content from different creators
Like they'll approach and be like hey, do you want to join our network? We'll give you higher CPM
so will give you brand deals every single youtuber that we've spoken with small and even
Profoundly bigger than us have had terrible
experiences with MCM I think the appeal with an MCN is that um
When you first start making YouTube videos you kind of feel like you don't know how to handle all the working parts
Right and a lot of people when they first join on YouTube and start doing that
It can feel overwhelming
Sure
and then MCN will come along and say hey you're growing fast or you're growing well and like
We want to help you get bigger. We want to help you do more. Its a lie. It's also
MCN will promise you like attention and they're gonna promise you helpful
We know so many people like I said profoundly bigger than us yet that have been very much neglected by their MCN
yeah that the MC ends take a big portion of their ad revenue and give back very little our approach was if we wanted a
Manager, we just decided let's separate some of our own revenue and hire our own manager that could take care of things
Exclusively for us and if you want to go that route
I highly recommend that the position that we're in in Japan is a different one
We're not with an MC and we're with an agency. So the agency doesn't control our videos
They don't have a say in what we must say or do in our videos. They don't control our ad revenue
That's ours if we do want to work with another company if you want to work with another Prefecture
Then they will help work that out because we can't speak enough Japanese in order to speak with open government
Yeah, maybe there's a story of somebody you heard that's doing well. We've been in this for 10 years. We've heard many many many words
It's time for food adventure program for awesome people the meat soup edition On February 29
2012 we debuted our very first food adventure program for awesome people make it called the fat fap
And the reason that started was because I broke my ankle rescuing orphaned kittens from a building that was on fire
You broke your ankle dancing. I wrote Michel dancing on a club
They see me rollin they hatin *da da da da* cuz I'm white and nerdy
Wah wah
Jump dance the best kind of dance jumping in the air and this drunk person who's like rah
and then I landed on their foot so they broke my ankle, but it led a
fodd adventure
Program for awesome people. It's thefat fap. And now we go race you there last one. There's a rotten egg
When we usually come here it just us when it comes to foreigners or like older generation never seen another for and if you're a
person those that we've invited
Yeah
And I think it's because though it can be kind of scary and usually a lot of the menus are in completely creative and its full in korean
Yeah, and the soups aren't something that necessarily look like easy to understand. Yeah, look at the picture
It just looks like a bowl of mess and you have no idea what its gonna be all of delicious
hot mess some of this mess is
Have changed so much over time as well like you start with a formula and now we're doing fat that's on a very different way
With different camera angles and different approaches and we're trying high in fat BAPS and low in fat
Speaking of YouTube it's not a faceless corporation. It is made up of people
I do think that
One of the biggest misconceptions that's kind of floating around on the internet after any change happens ya know
Is that people visualize YouTube as like this big rich person or like five rich people City?
madmen, like just tending their fingers and they're like
Logarithm of your wallet are they few YouTube as very evil, but from our experience
That's not true. We've met over this past decade many people working on YouTube and they are without a doubt
Yeah
Some of the smartest most interesting most capable people we have ever met in our entire lives not to mention
Extremely hard-working and you know if there's a new feature that comes out on YouTube
there will be teams of people that are trying to develop it and they're not trying to develop it because they want us all to
Suffer as creators right there
They think that oh, like I think this will be really good or like I hope this new feature works out
Yeah And a lot of the time they will contact
Different youtubers like it happens with us as well and we say 'we really want ur feedback on this. We're thinking of changing this
What do you guys mthink' and we're capable of living our totally honest opinion, right? You'll say to them
Oh this is pretty real. we like this or we'll say we
Absolutely hate this right or we'll say this is really buggy or this is what our audience told us like when we started doing sponsors
With you guys sponsorship program, You guys told us things that were problems like it wasn't available in some countries, right?
Where the panel wasn't working or the community tab was like not working for a while and we speak with you too
Tell them hey, this is what needs to be fixed this of what needs to be changed
Here's how it could be made better. There are lots of people working on YouTube to try to make this a better thing
We don't see it as evil as some people make it out to be there's eNOS who we will always consider our YouTube longer
There's David there's bum Hugh
There's Jason
there's Jess and there's a long list of people that if we keep on naming the Oscar music will probably tell us to get off the
Stage but these are all really great. Really nice people
The reason we say that is because these people were people who believed in us
Well, they were there they saw us as people were more like U B U like I like what you're doing
I like what you're creating
We just had a really warm relationship with people and I think that everyone has forgotten that YouTube is made up of both creators
Which are people. And people working for YouTube which are people and recently there
Was that really terrible shooting in San Bruno?
and and it was the first time that I think in a long time the internet kind of remembered that YouTube was made up of
real human beings
Yeah working at a headquarter and not just like evil people set out to destroy a particular channels
YouTube has become this huge platform. So it's being run by tons and tons and tons of teams all around the world
This isn't to say that YouTube is perfect and we're gonna give them a pass for everything
YouTube can definitely improve and we see trying to improve but I'm not gonna believe that they're terrible
You just can't convince me. No. Simon&Martina fun fact!
Ok, so welcome to our first episode of TL DR Thursday's where we answer all your questions in video format our very first TL DR
Which means too long didn't read and those are the ones where we do like informational programs
I don't like this one
First one we ever put out was May 19
2011 and a lot of people don't know this but there's Simon and Martina, which is our main channel
Yeah, and then there's Simon and Martina
Bonus bonus in which we have like some bloopers from our videos
We do some like live streams there also, and before we used to do arty on your segments
Eventually, we put it up on our main channel
We actually uploaded 62 videos to Simon and Martina bonus on since 2011
And we went on to do a lot of like really really deep topics not including mistakes
We made in Korea being a foreigner in Korea
modesty Korean versus North American beauty standards bullying in South Korea crime and safety
Sexism teen pregnancy and we tackled a lot
So for those of you looking to like dig into more information about Korea head on over to Simon&Martina bonus
we're gonna end up this video by answering pazi's question again from the riba a lot of support on the communities have
And she says where do you think your channel is headed in the next 5 10 maybe 20 years an answer is we don't know
We we're terrible at predicting things
We thought we'd be in Korea for one year and the Japan for one year and we were really wrong on both
Ends, we're not good at predicting. What we want to do is to let inspiration take us wherever it is
the reason why we're so interested in food videos here in Japan is because there's a whole new level of
Detail and passion that we're noticing in chefs. That's
Inspiring us to ask more questions and when we lose an inspiration and we start looking somewhere else
we're gonna keep following that for as long as we possibly can and I really hope that you could come along with us for the
journey
You guys have been looking forward to more of those like TLDR segments where we answer more questions about the country were living in sure
And I'm sure we're gonna do that in the future
But as you saw it was 2011 when we started that in Korea, so it was 3 years before we started doing that
So we still need to get to know Japan as well before we start digging into other stuff exactly
We can't really predict what we're gonna talk about yet
We're gonna do I just hope that it's something that still gives you guys a smile
I want to make sure our videos make you guys happy
Yeah, and I want you to be able to know that if you watch one of our videos say alright
This is gonna help me build
My ladder. This is gonna help me like keep going or have a great week
and that's basically the only perspective that I have all of these we're just gonna keep on making videos because we like them and I
Hope that you're gonna watch them
but even if you don't we'll keep making them in our 50s and 60s when we're
Puttering about in our gardens in our rocking chairs. Like we enjoy what we're doing. This is fun
It's hey, Martina is gonna read you a passage from her favorite book
