Morning.
It is a weekend at the Kumaar's.
Today, we don't have any crazy Vlog ideas to do.
We just want to take the time to share some family updates with you guys.
Some health updates.
Things that we think it's important for you guys to know.
Because you've been along with us through this journey.
So it's only appropriate that we have some family time with you all too.
But first...
We gotta feed these little guys.
Zae Zae specifically requested bagels.
Did you like the bagels, Zae Zae?
Yeah!
How many thumbs up?
One thumbs up.
And one thumbs to the side. Okay, okay, okay.
Ky Ky, how's the bagels?
What rating system is that?
Two thumbs to the... Two thumbs...
What does that mean?
That bad?
Judging on how much you ate, I think it's okay.
If you guys been following our videos, you've probably seen earlier this year...
I actually tore my ACL on my right knee.
I've been going through a lot of physical therapy and...
Lately, good news is I started running again.
Which is super fun and exciting.
I did the alter G which is like the anti-gravity treadmill.
And now I'm back on the street running.
It's not perfect yet. I can only jog and I need to rest like every one two days.
But it's getting there, so that's exciting.
My goal is that I can play...
That I could play football again in January.
That's the goal.
So I got two more months.
Hey, Zae Zae.
So you've been going to school now for how long?
2 months.
For two months? Yeah.
How are you liking school?
Do you love it? Yeah!
What's the fun part about school that you like?
Playing.
You like playing? Yeah!
Do you learn a lot too? Yeah!
What do you learn?
About the letters.
Yeah, so Zae Zae every week, he has a new letter that they have to...
You have to bring something to school and you have to talk about it.
And then you've learned all the different things. But... it has to start with the letter.
It has to start with the letter, yeah.
He's been really cool. He comes home, he talks about his letters.
Sometimes he has to bring something from home that's off that letter...
And stand in front of class and talk about it.
He's been loving it and that's awesome.
He has friends in school.
They had picture-day yesterday which he had so much fun with.
Yeah, I told him you're in front of the camera all the time.
Show the other kids how is that. Picture? Show them. Yeah?
Where is Ky Ky? Why is he crying?
Baby daiyuns, what's going on?
Are you okay?
I don't let him climb on that ladder. That's why he's sad.
Do you want to climb on that ladder?
Yeah.
Baby daiyuns, you can't climb on that one.
Okay, come. Under supervision. Come.
Okay, listen here.
You only can do this if mommy and daddy is here, okay?
Okay. Okay, come.
All right, you're so high. You're taller than me.
Whoa!
Was it a fun thing you're teaching him to jump off ladders?
Well, I told him only when Daddy and Mommy is here, okay?
Hey, Rachel.
Don't forget to bring the water and...
Oh my gosh! Okay, so the battery completely died on me.
I have a replacement battery. I mean a spare battery.
But it only has 12% battery left and we're about to head out.
Fortunately, I got this bad boy right here.
Which I have to take with me and charge on the road.
Can you carry it, Zae Zae?
Yeah! Good job.
Okay. Can you bring it to the car?
Okay, thank you.
What's that?
Do we need to put it in the trunk?
No, we put it in the front because we need to charge our batteries.
So the thing that Logesh grabbed is the EcoFlow River 2.
This is a power bank that we can take with us on the go to charge all of our stuff.
And it doesn't take overnight to charge up this battery pack.
It only takes one hour, and it lasts us the entire day.
It also has 800 watts of power.
We don't have to fight over who gets to charge what.
We can charge everything.
It's super powerful.
I can't even emphasize how lightweight this is.
I can hold it with one hand.
And you guys saw Zaden carried it.
It is 30% lighter than the EcoFlow River.
And with the solar panel at home that we got from EcoFlow,
We can also charge this.
So I don't even have to use our regular electricity
And it doesn't even cost any money to charge all our equipment.
Yeah, and with the solar panels, it only takes three hours to charge this.
And we save money.
Three hours, huh? Just three hours.
Isn't it so great? Amazing!
We live in a really sunny area, so get lots of sun. Use that sun for solar power.
I love that even when I'm outside playing with the boys...
I can plug my phone in and charge it using the EcoFlow River too.
If you want to grab one of these...
EcoFlow is running their biggest promo of the year for Black Friday.
Some of their products are up to 50% off.
We're gonna go ahead and leave all the links in the description box down below...
For you to check out and find your best choices and your best offers.
You better get on this soon because this is only until November 28th.
Let's go eat.
So hungry.
Hey, you're opening it for Ky Ky? Yeah!
You got it?
Good job.
Okay. Come on, Ky Ky. Let's go.
I think the middle one. Yeah? Is that all right? Yeah?
Zae Zae, what did you say? What did they have?
What do they have?
Mac and cheese.
What else?
Burger grilled cheese salmon. Uh-huh.
I don't know what this is.
That is chicken fingers.
What is that? That's like chicken tenders.
Mac and cheese, right?
Kids burger like a burger?
Cheese sandwich.
Burger, momma.
But we can't order burger because we just had it yesterday.
And extra slices of apple slices.
I don't know what the last one.
The last one is something you cannot have because it has a lot of sugar in it.
It's just a dessert.
You want to sit on momma's lap? Yeah.
You want to sit on Dadda's lap? Come. No, no, no. Momma's lap.
Okay, so there's one thing I want to like open up...
Be transparent and be like kind of vulnerable with you guys about.
It has been like in the back of my mind. Like a dream of mine.
To wan to someday act in a movie.
I think that would be super cool.
I feel like throughout this YouTube journey,
It has brought me to a place where I can start taking next steps.
So the last few weeks I actually registered for acting classes.
It's been going really well.
I'm in my week five now.
I just didn't want to tell anybody. I just feel like I don't know, it's kind of embarrassing.
I could feel and I may not be good at this and I can never act ever and that's okay.
But I want to try.
I want to see if this can take me somewhere.
And at the very least, it's at least going to help me with YouTube, right?
I can create of my movies and my persona here, so that's been happening. It's exciting.
Yeah, I don't know where that's going to take me.
I'm excited to see, and I've honestly been thinking about joining him for acting classes.
And realized like I do want to act.
But at the same time, I actually just want to be a better presenter in general.
I want to be able to put myself out there more, so I'm actually going to be starting this week.
I'm starting this week, improv classes.
Because as you can see, life throws lots of things at you.
Like I was saying, with improv classes I want to be able to respond in the moment of things.
Life is unpredictable.
We vlog all the time and I want to be able to just put the best version of myself out there.
So another thing that you guys may or may not know is that this YouTube's not our full-time job.
We both have jobs outside of YouTube.
And for the past three months I actually got a new job.
And I've been commuting into work every single day.
I'm gone early in the morning. I get home before dinner.
Monday through Friday.
I really feel like that's been pretty exhausting, to be honest.
I don't feel like I ever really get enough time with Logesh, with the boys.
But it is a really fulfilling job.
So it's kind of balancing all of that.
Being out of the home, being here, so if I come across more tired...
Just more worn out, just kind of that season of life of just busyness...
Of between work and balancing YouTube on top of all of that.
Live being happening right now.
Why is Liverpool like this, this season? I just don't understand.
What's wrong with them?
They like beat Man City. They're like so good.
But then in other games they like lose to...
Yeah, I don't even want to say. It's just like what kind of season they have? I have no idea.
Yup, Liverpool lost again today.
I don't know what's going on with them this season. Kind of feels like my life actually.
Don't say that.
But yeah, we have a couple more updates to share with you guys.
Kind of scary almost.
The last two weeks I actually been struggling with a sickness which we don't know what it is.
Every single day, I've been having episodes of feeling very light-headed.
It's not the lightheaded like a vertigo.
You know, vertigo you feel like you're spinning and you want to like fall.
Like everything's spinning. Like you're gonna fall down.
But lightheaded more like when I'm sitting and working halfway...
All of a sudden, I just feel lightheaded and I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
It happened for like a week and a half. I was like you know what, I gotta go see the doctor.
Then, I went to see the doctor.
He felt it was like scary or serious, concerning enough that he ran an ECG.
Everything was okay.
Then, we did blood work.
Like three different sets of blood work.
All of it, the results came well.
So it's inconclusive at this point.
The only other thing is my mom told me on the phone the other day like...
"Hey, tell them about your sinus".
You know, I have sinus problems since I was a kid.
I still have it.
So that could potentially be the reason I have allergies.
I take allergy pills every now and then.
I don't know but...
I mean it's kind of scary not knowing what it is.
I wish I kind of knew, so I can take action to try to remedy to make myself feel better.
That's kind of where we're at. I have an appointment with ENT next.
Hopefully, they kind of discover what's going on.
But with that also you know with like my knee injury and...
My lately sickness of whatever it is.
They've given me a lot of time to process through things.
And think about like the Kumaar Family brand, you know.
What are we actually trying to do here?
Our mission's always been the same.
We want to create good content for you guys.
Content to unite the world, bring people together, share differences about different cultures...
Highlight about our background to where we're from.
You know, that's really what it is.
Bring joy and inspire someone out there, and that has never changed.
And we want to continuously make better and better content.
With that said, we got to think of like, "What's next?", you know.
We wanna continue to grow.
We want to iterate.
We want to evolve into like the next chapter and...
Throughout the entire time, we've never like thought of like selling anything.
We had opportunities to partner with so many brands on like...
"Hey, let's partner together, so we can sell something", and we've never done that.
We've done sponsorships. Brand sponsorships, you know.
Those are like brand promotions.
We've never like partnered directly to sell someone's products.
All the money that we've been making through brand sponsorships and AdSense revenue...
All going to grow the business to make more videos, you know.
We have a manager.
We have a video editor, someone do subtitles.
Money's all going there.
That's amazing. That's fun.
We want to start thinking, "Well, what's next?" and...
One thing has been constantly popping in our minds is...
We want to create something that we can bring value to you.
We don't want to just like, "Oh, let's take the next awesome thing and sell to you guys".
You know, like there's no point.
There's something that can actually bring value to you.
That's what we want to do.
So we've been talking about potentially creating a clothing line of some sort.
We don't know what the concept, what the idea is.
We're still in that situation of our last several months, actually.
Thinking about and drawing out plans and ideating and...
Traveling and getting inspired in different things.
We do not know.
We don't even know if it's a good idea or not.
But if we do something like that and if we move on with a clothing line...
We want to make sure that it's something that can bring value to you.
It's not just another thing that we want to sell and make money.
The way I'm going with this is that...
With all this life update you know, let us know. We want to hear from you too.
You know, we don't want... You are all family. This is family time.
We want to like talk to you guys about what's been going on.
We want to hear from you.
Let us know down in the comment below.
Clothing line, is that a good idea? Is that a bad idea?
Is that something that we should look to emulate?
We don't know.
Tell us.
Or maybe even like if it's a completely different idea...
Like, "Kumaar Family, you guys should be doing this".
We would love if you did this.
If you started an online course...
Or if you wrote a book.
Or if you created kids toys. I don't know.
If there's something that we can bring of value to you
Tell us. We want to know.
With that said, thank you to you.
We can't emphasize how thankful we are to you.
We try our best to respond to comments and...
Show our appreciation to you guys in the best way possible.
You are all family.
