 Well, for those of you that are new and this is usually when Kathy and I were alone and we would have some goofy times and we designated this last midnight hangout of the thongs midnight madness and so we've got some midnight madness coming your way as well I want to welcome look at everybody that we've got Kathy this is great we have got a very global panel today so thank you guys for being here thank you Darren and Vicky and David and Steven well you can't get rid of me so easily I've been doing these all day thank you for admitting that I think admitting something like that is the first step right the 12 step process so let's go ahead and get started with the very first thing we're going to give you guys is the word and what you need to do is you need to type this word in the chat case sensitive it is not so type it any way you want as long as it's spelled correctly and you can also type it in many many many times but it will only work once for you okay so how's everybody going out there the word is global and why why why did we pick global well one because we have a number of global people in our group tonight we've got Vicky and myself that are both part of the Globetrotters team and Darren who is was a big part of our 15 nations to our last last year and we're not seeing how many do we have 12 um pro 13 nations you know 13 nations all all our little island nations around Australia New Zealand he'll be creating projects for all of them so that's something to look forward to they keep in mind for those of you that do not know yet David's been launching or hinting I guess about launching the global project for wiki tree and it became official this month it's a really really big project but it's awesome so if you i'll drop a link in a few minutes but if you have a country that you're interested in then you can go and check it out and kind of manage the country and get people to help as a matter of fact Stephen you were supposed to I believe pick the country yeah we're still working on that yeah I wasn't going to bug you about it I saw there was you know already the existing country page but yeah you're still working things out yeah we're doing some we found out there are a lot of little projects floating around wiki tree that didn't necessarily get a lot of publicity and some of them are defunct but they're still floating around out there so we're kind of sorting through the status of those we don't want to take anything away from somebody that's working on a project and has it going but you know so we're kind of sorting out what's what's out there still and what we can transfer but we ultimately will have every country up on the site and I know you have some people in the chat that have already joined as well as Vicki and Darren so if you guys are in the chat and you have already picked a country working on it then share which country you're one of the things I also want to emphasize is I've had some question about this we are looking for leaders for for each of the countries but we're happy to take members that are not interested in necessarily leading so if there's a project that you want to work with or that you're not sure you want to take on the responsibility or you're not ready to be the leader of the project that's fine too just let us know and we'll sign you up as a member just like with any of our other projects I think that's fantastic now let's go ahead and go to Darren since we're talking about global and Darren why don't you share some stats and you have some kind of interesting stats that you're going to show us I believe a little different than normal so what stats are you going to show us no that's not working all right okay well we've got 35 teams that have done over 100 profiles so far okay so 35 out of 37 that's good then we've got 27 teams we've done over 1,000 profiles that's great okay then we'll jump up a little bit we've got 17 teams we've done more than 2,000 profiles and another big jump and up to team 10 so we've got 10 teams done over 3,000 profiles I mean it's another small jump out to team 5 which is north-west serious I've just done over 4,000 profiles say that one more time that last one I've got north-west with serious north-west serious yeah and that they've just done well I just pressed on the screen I'm looking at and I've done 4,015 profiles and fourth place we've got Germany Genies and yeah 4,700 and change and legacy years got 4,900 and change mighty oaks very jump there to 7,200 and change and then Appalachia Roots biscuits yeah biscuits almost at 16,000 1600 no no 16,000 sorry I'm gonna self-adjust here so almost 16,000 16,000 so yeah even the mussy dusties with their 70 and the smoking snakes with their 75 that all helps whatever whatever whatever you can put on helps it really does and I think part of it if you're looking at some of the teams with lower numbers is helping out wiki tree but it's also coming together as your own community on your own tree and some some of these teams also deal with some really challenging difficult profiles and those do not go quick so they're they're never going to have thousands and thousands up because they're working on the really tricky and the tough difficult ones and I love seeing everybody in the chat give a shout out to your team that's that's really fun for us to see as well it thanks siren that was pretty cool to see to hear the stats a little bit different than I'm used to that's pretty interesting so are you guys ready for the game I'm ready you're ready for the game okay let me explain it just a little bit first um so the audience also knows what's going on so it's the 10 questions and then one bonus question you get a point for each question that you can answer there's no right or wrong answers is for what you can answer and it's really based on your own personal experience with this particular weekend this particular thon so have fun with this if you want to share some of your answers feel free and you're going to hear all of our answers as we go live so the very first question did you have to do more than four merges during this thon and if you if you're raising your hand or you're shaking your hat or you're saying yes that's a point sister yeah we're not gonna do you know we're gonna do okay i'm lucky i'm i'm in pretty the next one did you increase your cc seven by more than 100 and not just you increase it did somebody could have helped you but did your cc seven go up by more than 100 and mine mine did not but it did go up it did it did it was painful to get there but it did i picked the wrong family to work on okay this one's kind of interesting and i'm going to ask you guys to kind of expand your answer on this one but did you break your personal record for additions and connections well that's i did not yet but it's still time there's still time david you did yep sleep steven i'm not gonna happen no it helps that it's only my second connect the thons work starts when this thing ends so that's okay what about you oh you're muted you're muted we'll give you a second we'll be back don't worry daren what about you no i'm not even close to have been in my record while i'm connected so i know i did 2000 profiles i don't think i said wow is steven how much time do we have left for everybody to we have eight hours so that was a question so you've got that and i see somebody working on their friends dna relatives that one's tough as well so kathy what about you nope nope and i'm lower than my best score that was when i loaded a dead come but you still have time right eight hours we still have we still have some time and i should also point out i don't know if i did this so right now we are looking at 90 643 profiles that we've done this weekend and the best was 95 575 so i think we're gonna be the best i think that's the easy easy thing to do okay here's the next question for you guys and for everybody watching as well did you chat in your team discord yes yep yes like five minutes ago i guess i will put also for for my team did you have time to do any profile adding profiles because you were chatting too much into your team that would be us okay here's the tough one and this is timed you have 10 seconds to get this answer and if you have a team less than five then just count everybody so can you name in 10 seconds or less five teammates you're all gonna hate me eric mixy i got florian that's all i can do right now this is good because they're saying too that a lot of people are saying that the discord kept them awake and they're naming their names i love this it um a shout out to john he just made a thousand profiles right before we came live i'll just copy i'll copy alexander's list there there's a list of people on my team there thank you alexander there you go okay urn if you do all 50 then let us know that'll be and the and i agree at this point in time do we even remember our our name and what time it is and what day it is that was kind of tough no i don't i've just been like it's a big accident helping people and i help helping tree nuts and i also help in kiwi tree so i just just help don't ruin the name and the the the thing about the questions the reason why i'm asking these questions as well is if you are in your team's discord and you have access chat that's how you get to know each other that's how you have a little bit more fun with this because these are should be fun these thoughts should be fun i have to have faces with names and the thing is i can't always apply a face with a profile name you know so i see the names and i go through the list you know when i'm when i'm doing the stats and stuff but there's still that disconnect right and you don't physically live where i am for a lot of the germany genie so that's it's something that i need to work on right chat more that's what i say go ahead chat you want my list what's your list denida isabel carolyn greg greg me bryan james there's no you forgot chris oh no well i will just warn darin to be prepared for this next question so did you thon with your pet yeah oh no snowflake left snowflake didn't follow the plan there we go there's snowflake did you thon with your pet and what kind of pet do you have this this is you know a uh rated g show so cuts yeah three cats no pet we see some pets we see yes four cats oh i get points for having three cuts yeah do they get bonus points i agree they're constantly there the mice left last year oh no the cat and the dog this is great there we go i have two cats and a cat and we're off and the chihuahua there we go oh wait i guess this would count a robot got i agree cats tend to uh you know they don't allow that they don't allow you to ignore them and four cats and we even have yeah you got your pet your i guess that would be your brand dog is that what you're saying that would be your brand dog so this is funny so thanks guys for playing along with that too okay next question this one you might have to think about and i'll warn you kathy and i asked this every midnight madness that we have we asked this one question every minute can you name the very first connection you did what was it steven uh it would be my father because that makes a connection between me and another person that didn't exist in the wiki right no what's the one that didn't exist the one i created and that name would be that would be connected to me the living person so what about you guys can you remember that very first one when it was i don't know if everybody was like me but when it was eight a.m eastern on friday i was there i was ready i had my computer off i had my phone already i thought you're talking about when i started yeah it is you started different than when i started your very first connection for this thon oh for the thon see i was thinking of 2020 when i started with you no we said these were all thon questions oh but i know exactly where i started because it's in my personal category oh i i wouldn't have a clue i would either go back to your contributions darin i can tell you i can tell you where the location i can tell you i could get close but i couldn't give you a name so this just shows how hard everybody's been working we've been working and adding profiles over and over again that it's hard to remember back and then we're zombies standing yes are you are you talking about the first profile we added the very beginning of this thon or the very connection we made of the very first connection which is an addition that you connected in this thon whatever day and some of you were not here maybe the start on friday somebody did saturday somebody had done today so keep that in mind as as well um okay so moving on i can narrow it down to the family right that's good that's actually good so give yourself a point if you have added 12 or more kids to just one set of parents oh yeah yeah wow i think one was 16 wow that's a lot of diapers i like this point and we've got like a 14 and i love this answer not yet but there's still time yeah there's still time so i love that as well okay so that those are the 10 questions if you want to add them up because this next one is a bonus question and i guarantee you everybody that you're looking at here will not get a point for this next bonus question so the bonus is is this your first thon on wiki tree and david you just barely missed it right this is your second well it's my third thon my second connectathon i did a source of the one goodness denise one with 12 children the other with 14 is this like my sixth one now oh there we go uh first thon congratulations welcome welcome so i think i did the first connectathon back back in the day all right yo gee my first was the source of thon back a decade ago no i don't know when it was i think it was the first source of thon that they did and we were talking about this the other night i actually did it on an iphone traveling never will do that again on your cell phone yes never and back then it was you know the iphone's were like this and not like the real nice ones that they have now so if this is your first thon welcome this is kind of the what we do we hang out if we talk a little bit about what's going on with the thon give some stats give some information and we have a good time with it well this is really cool too i've been working tree for 10 years so this is not my first radio i've done four connectathons now and two source of thons and did anybody and cleanathons we don't have those anymore by the way but i've done i think two cleanathons i did not do the scanathon anybody here did scanathon yeah i did scanathon and senko is uh we're gonna scan it if i didn't do that one either okay then that was the that was it for the games and does anybody have any questions in general we've got a great group of individuals here on the panel that could answer any questions we have global people we have people that work on different projects within wiki tree as well as some maybe tech information i know we've got some of the apps members in the audience as well so if you have any questions then feel free to ask us otherwise make sure that you type in global because we're going to do the drawing and if you don't know if you typed it in

staying till the end who else is i'm gonna try bicky i watch i watch every like us but i i have been sleeping in blocks of two hours between like us i have slept like eight hours in the the whole weekend we should have asked that question you know have you slept sleep is still important yeah i think the first time that i alish did the histograms and it's like you could see some people like they never slept at all as i have profiles and i think i might have been one of them i was waiting for him he usually calls me out for one of the uh thoughts i can't remember connect on a scanner and he enlightened me to how much i did not sleep with that graph that histogram so usually he likes to call me out on it okay so are you guys ready for the drawing everybody if you've typed in the word global let's go and let's see who's going to get a prize i know i need a musician on the show well darren congratulations you know and email anyone and you notice snowflakes there too so maybe the prize really is for snowflake if you don't know guys this is kind of one of the prizes you can win a mug or a t-shirt based on your team i think darren you've got yours right yeah darren's got yours

that's pretty cool as well and that's about it you guys have anything else yes i do go ahead and make sure you add the country to the location fields when so when you're adding make sure that you do that you generally you just put in united states including in i don't know but you guys i like to see it spelled out sometimes it's easier i don't put it i would rather than put us or usa than to spell it out because we can go in and clean that up but if you put a location that's in multiple countries we have no idea what country you're talking about and then i have one last request do us a favor go ahead smash that like button for us and keep having fun guys see you around the tree see you
