What are you doing, Mary?
(Mary) getting this baby to calm back down again so I can choppy chop her nails
We are... (Mary) *shushes*
hanging out in the bed today
because its
its...its
its just nice to have a nice
relax
every now and then
but we wanted to take some time to uh
thank you guys for all your support
thank you very much, and let you guys, you know, know
know some stuff thats going... whats happening with this.. whats the plan, channels and stuff.
like
tell you how we feel.
(Mary) Yeah
yeah
so I guess first off,
uhhhh
a special thank you to all the
the patreon people
thank you very much, you've made uh
you've made things a lot
a lot better and easier for us, uh
we got all the names of the patreon peoples, the top tiers down in the description, you can go look at it
and go scroll through it
um
the reason why its been such a great help
is
um
if you guy's have been following us on YouTube for a long time, you know that
YouTube is not
its not what it use to be, its kinda
you know, its kind of a scary, stressful, super stressful place for me
*clears throat* um
and then
with.. with Revelmode falling through, the network thing
thats...like another
another thing gone. Gameplay...
videos aren't doing very well
uhhh
like we're playing Outlast
and we'd maybe get 20,000 views a video and
now, I can go out in the yard and like
talk about how I feel and get like
triple...
the views, so it's just like... it's
uh
not really too sure what
everyone wants to see, cause
we we've been doing a lot of baby vlogs, and people have been really enjoying them
a lot of people have been watching them, but then, of course there's still people that are like
"Eh, where's the gameplay?" and it...
its just, uh
its kind of a weird time
so
with.. with all those stressful things with YouTube,
Patreon has definitely helped that like uh
all the money for patreon's been
been going towards this baby. Babies are very expensive um
*clears throat*
you can check out the patreon, down below
We'd appreciate it, you can uh
you uh can give us, if you're using adblock,
if you don't watch ads on our videos and you feel guilty about it
you can go, you can pledge a dollar, y'know.
(Mary) and be guilt free! (Ken) Yeah.
For... for every person that pledges
one dollar, you are worth more than...
uhhh... what was the number? A thousand or ten thousand views.
Just from one dollar.
So...
thank you guys very much.
It.. it really is awesome... its uh
Our current--we passed the goal of
uh, we got a certain set amount
set aside of the Patreon thats going to Layla
and uhh
like savings and college funds, and then there's another tier that's
helping with travel to Australia, so she can go see her, our family over there because
its pretty expensive to go to Australia
um
and then there's also probably a lot of people that are like, "Well, Ken, you're doing fine
you got YouTube and you got Twitch..."
and
that's... that's true...
like we're... I can take care of me and Mary perfectly fine
but for the long run, like uhm
you know, when I'm 60 years old trying to retire,
currently...
the way things are going
I'm not going to be able to retire and at the same time I don't think I'm going to be able to actually
do this *laughs*
in, I don't know, 10-15 years
so there's like that also... that worry also
uhmmm
but its.. its
right now everything's good. You... you guys seem to
really be really enjoying the baby
and
I'm thankful
Maybe Mary still wants to have more kids, I don't know (Mary) *laughs*
*clears throat*
uhm
do the whole big family vlog thing. I still wanna do games
uh, but it... not a lot of games have come out. I think the last good game
for YouTube, that came out
was like Kindergarten
and it was fun
and I haven't seen much... Emily is Away Too came out, and that was ok but
you know, its just kinda
I dunno...
It's a, it's easier to do the vlogs, for sure
uh, but at the same time like
we're
the.. the baby, the baby hype has kinda worn off for the internet and we're still
we're just here doing our thing
(Mary) I'm really thankful
that I'm able to actually have
Ken here with me
everyday. I think thats the main thing for me, for
Twitch and YouTube and Patreon, it actually means that we get to be
we get to be together, we get to be a family that
that spends the majority of our days together
like yes, he does go out and do
Twitch, in the evenings for a couple of hours, but
most of the time,
I have my man right here and that's thanks to you guys
Yeah!
(Mary) A lot of people just say, "Well if you're worried just go out and get a real job, or..."
or a lot of people have been saying "Just go and make the um..."
"Leave the gameplay videos and don't do the family vlogs."
but even just, to make a gameplay video it means that he needs to be
away from his family
and
(Mary) I don't know. I'm.. I'm thankful with how well the vlogs are doing, cause it means that we get to
spend our time together as a family, and its... thats really valuable to me.
(Mary) It is a real job too *she laughs* it's a lot of work.
It feels like a real job... I'm just stressing
but.... *Mary laughs*
(Mary) I...I feel like I've been putting a lot of work into the Patreon, and I'm really happy that I'm able to um
speak one on one with people who really care
it's like yeah, I still talk to people on Twitter and
all that kind of stuff... but
(Mary) knowing like, hey, this is one person who really
really, really, truely cares.
Yeah and speaking of which, oh baby its ok (Mary) We can have a conversation.
but uh, like our top tier in the Patreon, or like our top two tiers, we follow them back on Twitter
and everyone has actually been pretty...
(Ken)...pretty nice, yeah. (Mary) They're all really nice people!
no... nobody's been too weird, I mean
whenever the month
changes over and the Patreon actually pays out,
like the money's collected, there was a lot of people that got kinda weird, but...
overall the majority of people were really cool
and they was just like 'Yeah! Thanks!'
and so now we gotta
we gotta get on that
so you Patreon people that are watching, we got, me and Mary have still gotta do like the
(Mary) Make your one on one videos
the thank you videos and we, uh, we still gotta go through and make sure we're following everybody.
uhhhm
now that we know who's actually sticking around and uh
oh that poor baby... *baby fusses*
but yeah we started doing some like some dungeons and dragons that was a lot of fun
we can add that to the Patreon so that's something more, like... like added in
more gameplay kinda stuff for other people
(Mary) yeah people have our character sheets
(Mary) and all that kind of information
So if you're like, you're supporting the Patreon and you're like...
"Eh the baby stuffs cool, but I would like to see some other stuff too," then
it just adds
I'd like to add more value to it, as much as we can, you know?
but yeah, thank you guys very much, we really appreciate it, and uh
I mean, I don't know, other than like being
like without the Patreon and Twitch,
I would be, stressing myself to death
over YouTube, just the current state it is, so thank you guys very much for watching the streams
thank you guys very much for supporting the Patreon
you should go check it out!
and give us, give us a dollar, please
*both laugh*
and uh yeah, just really wanted to say thank you guys, all you silent viewers out there, thank you especially
cause you guys make up most of everything that happens for us and you're just silently..
silent and happy
*big sigh* Thank you guys, we'll see you guys next time, and until then
stay toasty my friends!
byeeeeeee! Bye baby! bababababa!
