Forced Break WhatYouOu... - 8,519 views - 3 months ago
Perhaps a brief explanation would help answer your questions.

We usually put in anywhere from 6-10 hours of research, writing, filming, editing, and uploading for each show. You can see how that made it a little difficult back when we were doing daily episodes. Our audience never really took off despite our efforts. We've heard of people that managed to create internet shows and live off of t-shirt sales, but that just wasn't in the cards for us. Right now we don't have enough viewers to turn the show into a career.

So if you don't make money on the show - and believe me we don't - then what do you do for a living? you ask. We have a company that produces videos, websites, and print media. Most of our business clients are small to medium sized, and most of them are going under. With clients not able to pay us, we are having a hard time staying afloat. Finding new clients in this economy has been extremely challenging as well. We actually shut our office doors March 8th. (The end of the show video was filmed in advance and put off for as long as possible.)

It is not a question of not having enough to pay for the show, it is a question of not having enough to survive. Without the day job to pay for this job, we've found ourselves in a difficult situation. But who knows what the future will hold. We're still optimistic.

St Patrick's Day WhatYouOu... - 3,409 views - 3 months ago
Today is a short show about short people.
NOTE - St. Patrick was not Anglican. He was Roman Catholic. But he is accepted as a Saint in the Anglican church as well as Roman Catholic church. Anglican Saint was just more fun to say. Sorry if we created any confusion. Please don't fight with anyone over it.

Batteries WhatYouOu... - 4,302 views - 4 months ago
Silly consumer, just because you bought a device that uses batteries doesn't mean you bought a device that will use ALL of your battery.

2012 - We're all going to die WhatYouOu... - 18,740 views - 5 months ago
Don't be alarmed, but we're all going to die.

[update]
Wow. We haven't been to this page in a while and it looks like it has spiraled out of control. To all of the people callings us "doomsayers" please note the following exchange in the comments, which have pasted here for your reading pleasure.

Darkwhisp wrote us saying:
1.WYOTK do you believe this will happen and if so why say it with a smile?
2.If all the telecommunications go down can't we still send mail
3.Prior to 2 couldn't the internet be accessable if immideitly after it goes down they send a satilite out supposing the supervolcano/cannablists don't kill us
4.Will I die if i live in UK
5.And fainally we can grow crops with seeds easily supposing the soil isn't infertile after the volcano errupts
P.S I signned ur Pettiton to get u on tv :)

We wrote back saying:
1. darkwhisp, sure we believe it COULD happen. But if we believed it was GOING to happen - we'd be broadcasting from a bunker.
2. Not just telecom. All electrical devices could go.
3. Not only could you not send up a satellite. You couldn't build one, or pump gas, or have water at your house. Everything that used electricity would stop working.
4. 50/50
5. Sure you could plant crops, volcanic soil is really fertile. It's the lack of sunlight that will be a problem.

P.S. Thank you for signing, it just might be the thing that stops the asteroid.

Even though this show was researched and factual, it was tongue in cheek, poking fun at the hysteria around 2012.

Soapy Food WhatYouOu... - 2,703 views - 5 months ago
The Chuck That is Norris asks: "How is it that when you put soap next to food, it permeates the plastic that the food is wrapped in and makes it taste like soap?"

We have compared gambling and insurance before, but uninsured motorist coverage may cover more than you think.

Pyrette- I think the longest word in the English language is some chemical name for something. But I think people are arguing about whether it's an actual word or not. I want to find out how to pronounce that disease!!

Sarcasm, cleverness. What's not to love? Hope you can go mainstream. (And, to tell the truth, I'd love to show that video on grammar to a few of my peers... heheh...)
