 not done in quite some time at least not with my face or with my voice I've been streaming Valheim in fortnight almost constantly okay there I am on twitch yeah the twitch video is going let's see what's happening yep so is YouTube got it let's do a test on the on the chat here test test okay yep I'm gonna let those sit then and we're gonna wait for people to come in hi everybody is there anybody watching twitch tells me there's two people watching one of whom is me and there's one watching on YouTube which of course is me who else is here what are the case as you can see by the title video I'm gonna I'm gonna gripe about YouTube that's what I'm here for is everything working sound should be working good sound should be working good picture should be working good you've got OBS working I'm gonna be talking about YouTube anyone comes in wants to talk about anything else we can certainly do that in fact I'd like to talk about other things but anyway what is today today is the 23rd in the morning of the 21st that would have been Friday in the middle of the night really like 1 a.m. something like that I was just waking up and my phone buzzed saying that I had an email and it was an email from Google saying that my YouTube channel had been demonetized and I had only monetized my channel comparatively recently I started my I created my YouTube channel in 2007 believe it or not and I first started uploading videos on a regular basis I started doing the book reviews in 2011 I think up until that point I'd use it just to store a handful of videos that I found online so I could post them to other bulletin boards and it wasn't until 2010 2011 I started actually watching people on YouTube and I never monetized I never had enough subscribers I couldn't do it and then in 2017 when by that point I had hundreds and hundreds of videos hundreds of book reviews all sorts of things right at the beginning of 2017 the majority of my views had come from videos being suggested by YouTube and one day in January of 2017 that stopped it completely stopped so I was removed from some list YouTube was no longer recommending my videos no longer suggesting my videos to people so starting in 2017 my lady my videos were literally being blocked by YouTube blocked in the sense that YouTube was not allowing them to be suggested by the algorithm and then over the last year or so somebody came in and then left thanks bye over the last year or so my video my channel started getting views I posted I started posting clips of clips of movies and clips of unusual TV theme songs and compilations of other stuff you know vintage nostalgia stuff and then Olivia Newton John died and my I posted a video of her dancing with Gene Kelly and Xanadu and that exploded that absolutely exploded and I started getting big getting views like crazy and comments like crazy and started getting subscribers people watching my nostalgia stuff and in recent months I posted a six six hour compilation of Captain Kangaroo that's getting great views and then in December I got a payout from YouTube of a hundred dollars and I think I got a hundred dollars a couple years earlier but it took years and years to reach a hundred dollar payout limit and then at the end of last year I got a hundred dollar payout and since then I'd reached I'd reached I think thirty five or thirty six dollars worth of of advertisement viewing because of the Olivia Newton John thing and because of Captain Kangaroo because of all the nostalgia stuff I've been posting and yes I didn't start getting views on my channel and until I started posting material by other people nobody was ever interested in my original material not my book reviews nothing but I got up to like thirty five thirty six dollars worth of advertisements and if that continued I would have another payout and a hundred dollars and before the end of this year so like a hundred dollars a year that's nothing but then I get an email from YouTube in the middle of the night Friday morning says your channel has been demonetized here's what it says important notification channel no longer monetize your channel is no longer eligible for monetization so here's here's a screen cap of what the of what it says in my on my dashboard is what happened after reviewing your channel we found that it does not follow YouTube's monetization policies we found that your channel contains the following reuse content channel uses someone else's content without making changes that significant value so they didn't want to pay me they didn't want to pay me thirty five dollars I was starting to make money and they don't want to pay me they don't care about other people's material being used the stuff it's not getting copyright hits yeah here it is 3496 paid monthly if the total is at least a hundred dollars that's my payout threshold you reach 34% of your payment threshold so yeah if it continued at this rate by the end of the year I would have gotten a hundred dollars but YouTube what doesn't want to pay me Google doesn't want to pay me that's why they're doing this because they don't want to pay see here I've got 811 videos 2100 subscribers it took me it took me 15 years to reach 2100 subscribers 15 years 15 goddamn years to reach 2100 subscribers 811 videos 811 videos almost all of them are original material but in recent months I've been potent posting some nostalgia compilations started making started getting views started making money Google doesn't want to pay Google doesn't want to pay that's what it's about how many people do they do this to every day thousands of people thousands and thousands of people and that 30 that $35 is sitting in Google's bank account earning interest along with a couple of million probably more than a couple million probably 10 million deposits just like that from other people that that Google doesn't want to pay and they're earning interest on it meanwhile we don't get our pennies so new policy here at the thinkbolt compound is fuck YouTube this will be my last time streaming on YouTube I won't post any more videos to YouTube my old stuff can stay I'll continue to respond to comments if I get any I'm gonna sit here and talk and wait for people to come in I've been I've been babbling for 11 minutes it just now ticked over to 11 1102 1103 1104 so till somebody comes in and we talk about something else that's it that's my message YouTube has given me nothing for 15 years of creating creating original content for YouTube I've got nothing I have nothing I could never get subscribers I could never get views and then I started posting compilations of existing material nostalgia material started getting traffic started getting revenue and Google said nope we don't want to pay so who's here somebody's here somebody's watching me on twitch who the hell are you there's somebody here is that a bot there's a big list of viewers there's a long list of viewers here these have to be bots actually twitch says there's only one person watching and that would be me you know what I'm gonna close this window okay what do you all want to talk about you want to watch you want to watch a bad movie you want to do something else want to watch some cartoons I a friend of mine online mentioned kick.com kick KICK kick KICK.com as an alternative platform I'm not looking for another platform I'm done creating original material I'll continue to play video games and stuff but I wouldn't look at kick.com and it's functionally identical to twitch and there are twitch kids that are moving over there it looks and functions exactly like twitch so I created an account I started streaming while I was sleeping last night I started streaming cartoons from my vast collection of cartoons on my hard drive here I played cartoons for eight hours on kick.com and from what I can tell not one single viewer what is it about me and then this the stuff that I stream and people won't watch people aren't interested when I stream cartoons on the new tumblr live streaming I get viewers kick.com apparently I got nothing I watched a pretty good amount of the stream on my phone as I was falling asleep and it was working fine great picture great sound according to a restream I've still got I've still got viewers on twitch and YouTube when I know I don't yeah there's nobody watching once again I'm here to complain about YouTube demonetizing me when I wasn't even making any money because they don't want to pay out pennies greedmongers that they are and so I'll continue to do my I'll continue to stream my my game playing on kick and on sometimes on twitch and also on what is what is the name of that other that other service I'm on I can't think of the name of it my encoder settings restream is telling me to change my keyframe interval to two can I do that while I'm streaming keyframe interval don't have to change to yeah I'm not gonna try to do that one where is my keyframe interval yeah all right who's here anybody here I watched the the four episodes of Mrs. Davis I have mixed feelings about it it was worth seeing and I also watched Skinner Merink and what else did I watch I watched Quantamania Ant-Man and the Lost Quantamania and I liked it I heard nothing about bad things about it but I liked it there was some dumb stuff in there some stuff that they shouldn't have done some stuff I wish they hadn't done but I enjoyed it all the way through I was engaged it was more than two hours long it shouldn't have been and it didn't feel like it was that long so that meant I was I was entertained I'm just gonna keep babbling until somebody comes in and talks to me hi everybody that's all I can do I mean what else can I do I don't feel like playing a cartoon or a movie unless there's somebody in here watching it with me but anyway this is the last time I'll be streaming on YouTube cuz fuck YouTube that's what it comes down to you I changed my tumblr I still have a tumblr I'm still very active on tumblr I look I look at tumblr all the time I enjoy looking at stuff that other tumblr users are posting I've been using tumblr for 10 12 years gosh maybe longer I changed my tumblr over to classic cartoons and I'll post a link to a classic cartoon three or four times a day there's an amazing list of cartoons entertaining cartoons rare cartoons unusual cartoons animated stuff it's all animated stuff okay I've lost my one viewer on twitch if there was a viewer but yeah you can follow my tumblr just go to tumblr.com and search for think vault and I post cartoons constantly on there it's a friend of mine who is an old-school animation a fishing auto like me and earlier this month actually gosh it was like six weeks ago now it's longer ago when I'm thinking I told him you know what I'm gonna start texting you on your phone a link to a classic cartoon every day how would you like that he said I would love that and so I've been sending him stuff and I've been I've been sending him stuff he's never seen before and he's he's actually studied animation history in college he has a degree in film studies he's much more well studied in animation history than I am and I'm finding stuff that he's never seen or heard of and I'm proud of that if anybody else wants in on that that list I'll add you to that text list I think it's a great idea receiving receiving an entertaining cartoon on your phone every day and not by email not not not on a not on a bulletin board not on a not on a social media but right to your phone number I think that's a great idea but how many people are gonna give me their phone number that's that's the thing all right who's here is there anybody here all the years that I've been live streaming I just don't get people just don't watch me people just don't come into my they don't come into my my my streams and chat with me they even when people come in even when I see people show up in the thing they won't say hi to me and that actually it pisses me off when I'm getting no viewers and the one or two trickles of viewers that I get won't say hello I consider that rude I I said that to a more experienced and successful streamer hey Carol here's here's a nice person here's a nice polite person nice to see you Carol but I made that complaint in the chat of a streamer who had who's having hundreds of viewers watching her play Elden Ring and I think I think it's just common sense if you've got no viewers and someone comes in and doesn't say hello it's frustrating I find it very frustrating and I said that to her she said you need to change that attitude right now I'm like okay I don't feel that way I still consider it rude how are you Carol I'm I'm just in here by myself complaining about YouTube and telling the world who who are not watching that I won't be on YouTube anymore I'm not gonna go so far as to delete my channel or delete all my videos there's too much stuff there there's too much stuff but you notice I've added the I've added a no YouTube thing to my to my no republicans thing I'm that angry about it I'm that I'm that and disheartened about it shaking my head are you still here Carol did I chase you off our old friend slap silly watch me yesterday and early this morning while I was playing Valheim which I was streaming on Twitch for the first time in months and months Carol is trying not to worry about getting her front porch replaced the tree smashed in oh no was there a storm what part of the country are you in I know you're Mr. Fox guy I know you're you're related to Mr. Fox guy are you down there in Missouri where he is I've got the right person right that that's I'm not getting you mix it with somebody else am I St. Louis yeah yeah there must have been a storm down there Missouri gets the storms Missouri gets the tornadoes Texas gets more tornadoes than any other state but only because it's so big Missouri they're like concentrated Missouri is right in the middle of tornado alley I remember what about 15 years ago when Joplin got almost wiped off the face of the earth by one massive tornado that was Joplin wasn't it she says there was a tornado and it made a horrific noise when hit the house yeah I bet I've heard people compare the sound of a tornado to a freight train I heard I heard some woman I saw someone on TV insurance adjuster comes tomorrow and it was Joplin right because I was renting an apartment in Oklahoma just across the border from Joplin yeah there was a brief time when I was I rented an apartment in Oklahoma just across the border from Joplin I saw some this young woman on on TV once years ago her house was hit by a tornado and she she was complaining that you know people people always say that it sounds like a it sounds like a freight train coming but there wasn't any whistle there wasn't any clackety-clack I'm like oh please Carol says I lived in Joplin for years I'm pretty sure it was Oklahoma where was I certainly wasn't living in Missouri look at let me look at a map see if I can remember it was a little town I don't see no wait that's Arkansas yeah it was it was Miami Oklahoma up in Northeast Oklahoma they pronounce it Miami it's spelled Miami but they pronounce it Miami yeah I rented an apartment in Miami Oklahoma I totally forgot the name of the place it's right across the border from Baxter Springs Kansas and Neosho Missouri and Joplin Joplin is closer to the border than I remembered Carol says she knows it yeah tiny little town I had a and their their little downtown district they had a this really spectacular golden age cinema that they were restoring and this was like this was 15 years ago almost 20 years ago and it was one of those one of those old Hollywood style cinemas with the spectacular ceiling and all of the art deco statues and scroll work all over everything more like a an opera house I went I took the tour of it one day it was surprising how big it was and how spectacular it was when it's in the middle of nowhere Miami Oklahoma and every time I would drive up there I was living in Houston but I rented an apartment in Miami where I would stay sometimes and I would drive up there and at first I enjoyed the drive but then it got it got long and I would drive past I would drive past that area near there in Oklahoma where they had to evacuate the town because of because of what was it asbestos mining and I remember driving past this area where there was these huge mountains of gray some kind of gray mineral look like gravel that you could see over the tops of the trees I would drive past that every time and I didn't know what it was and I heard about it later it was a it was a township that had to be evacuated because that was asbestos or something like that and you could see it from the road and we're not talking about a freeway either there's no freeway it goes through goes through that part of Oklahoma I remember hearing about that and thinking good Lord I drove through there every time so anyway thank you for joining me I was here I came on here to complain about YouTube as you see by the title YouTube has given me nothing and they they've given me nothing over the years and they don't want to give me anything here's a here's a thing I I'm gonna repeat what I said at the beginning when nobody was watching I created my YouTube channel in 2007 which I think was the year after YouTube was created and at the time nobody was using it no they didn't kick me off but yeah I created it because I was I was on all sorts of bulletin boards all the time posting stuff before any of the social media were familiar with today was happening and there was always a need to store videos to to post links to and I created YouTube for that purpose and over the first couple of years I posted maybe two or three videos again just to store them videos that I downloaded from various places just to store them so I could link to them and after a few years I started watching people on YouTube you YouTube started getting popular there were youtubers that were getting popular around 2009 2010 I started watching youtubers and then I was like wait a minute I have a YouTube account so in 2011 I started doing book reviews and I started posting regularly and I never monetized my channel I never monetized it I never had enough viewers to justify it I never had enough subscribers you had to have a thousand subscribers to monetize and I never had a thousand subscribers but although I was getting no views and no subscribers to speak of the the views that I did get mostly came from suggested videos YouTube was always telling me that the majority of my views came from what they call suggestive suggested videos because their algorithm would you know when you watch a YouTube video when it's over it shows you a panel of videos that it thinks you will like and that's where most of my views were coming from that whole time even though it was very slow excuse me and over over the years I was creeping and creeping and creeping up towards a thousand subscribers and never getting quite there as subscribership was too slow and then in 2017 right at the beginning of 2017 in January of 2017 my my views from suggested videos stopped stopped completely stopped overnight it didn't trail off it didn't slowly trail off it stopped dead overnight YouTube removed me from whatever suggested lists they have from and I had hundreds and hundreds of videos at that point I had hundreds of hundreds of book reviews all original material and what views I was getting were from suggested videos and the suggest the video suggestions stopped dead overnight YouTube literally literally started blocking my videos from their algorithm I don't know why I guess they didn't consider me worth it since I didn't have enough subscribers to monetize I remember hearing from a photographer who did model shoots and who did shoots with with models with women he was an early YouTube an early YouTuber and he was very very early on was getting large numbers of views very large numbers of views and he said that YouTube had contacted him to suggest to him that he monetized his videos and he said no thank you and they deleted his channel when YouTube suggests to you that you do something they're telling you to do it and they straight-up deleted his channel even though he was getting ridiculous numbers of views yeah you're right Carol they should have to explain they never explained their algorithm but then I forget the details but there was some kind of YouTube announced some kind of deadline right about the same time that I stopped getting all the suggested videos YouTube they announced some kind of deadline where they were gonna raise the threshold for monetization from a thousand viewers to something else I think that's what they were gonna do and the deadline was coming up just in like a couple of months and I got on a list with some other smaller YouTubers where we would we would put ourselves on lists to get to get more subscribers to try to to try to meet the thousand viewer threshold the thousand subscriber threshold before before the change and I did it I made it somehow so I started monetizing after that and that was like 2017 I only I only monetized a few videos I don't think I monetized at all even though I could at some point but just a few years ago right around COVID when I was doing more and more stuff on online I said you know what I'm gonna monetize I'm gonna monetize everything I'm gonna monetize all my videos and over the last few years I've gotten up to here you see there I've got 2.14k subscribers and 811 videos 800 videos and almost all of it is original material and I had a niche too I was doing book reviews for classic science fiction which was something that nobody else was doing there's this one woman in the UK that she and I she and I did book review videos together and we talked every time we talk we always said that there's plenty of people doing book reviews on YouTube and there's plenty of people reviewing science fiction but everybody on YouTube is reviewing new books and we both agree that as far as she and I could tell we were the only people who were reviewing classic science fiction and yet I was getting no views I had a niche but I never got views ever she would post a video and get 300 views that day I would post a video nothing five views 10 views 20 views so it's me it's something about me like I'm live streaming right now Carol is here and that's it it's just Carol for some reason but yeah here you can see the screen cap here 2100 subscribers I finally climbed up to 2100 subscribers over the past year I started getting views I started posting nostalgia material collections of old TV theme songs and old movie clips and confylations of old material trying to do public domain stuff when I could and people started watching that stuff I started getting views the subscriber started subscriber list started going up and then he'll Olivia Newton John died and I posted a clip of her dancing with Jean Kelly in Xanadu and that exploded that video exploded I got thousands and thousands of views on that 200,000 views on that video at this point I've never gotten views like that lots of comments a pretty good number of new subscribers and people started because of that people started watching the other nostalgia stuff that I was posting the Captain Kangaroo stuff Carol says the rest of the world doesn't know you like our little community does you have so much interesting information well thank you that's that's nice to know um do you do you ever look at tumblr Carol I I still have a tumblr I've been using tumblr since it started back in like 2011 or 2010 or whatever and I still use it tumblr still exists and it's still very active I look at tumblr many times throughout the day I really love looking at the stuff that other people there post just to just last month I changed my tumblr to a classic cartoons list go to tumblr.com t-u-m-b-l-r.com that's tumblr without an e tumblr.com and search for think bolt she says sometimes she's while I was talking I want to look it up yeah subscribe to it I post I post a link to a classic cartoon two or three times a day sometimes four times and scroll through that list you'll see you'll see some cartoons that are old favorites cartoons that you've seen before stuff that's funny and you'll see stuff that you've never seen before you'll see really weird odd cartoons everything that I post oh you just followed great thank you everything that I post has some value to it either it's a classic that everyone's familiar with and I know people will think is funny or it'll be something that you've probably never seen before probably never heard of even if some of the post some of the stuff I post won't exactly be what you would call entertaining but it'll be something you've never seen before and you'll be like wow where'd that come from well good thank you anyway she says you really educated me on your bad Saturday morning show well good that's what it was for once we got to a hundred episodes that's a lot of episodes a hundred episodes good God as fun as that was to do I was tired I couldn't do it anymore and it was I was having a harder and harder time coming up with material and all those episodes are still there on the on the twitch channel the 50th Street studio twitch channel will stay there you can watch those anytime you can actually watch archived videos on on twitch if you didn't know that excuse me anyway but along with all of the all the new views I was getting because of the living in John thing and that's a that Captain Kangaroo I published a collection of Captain Kangaroo clips 15 minutes of Captain Kangaroo clips with bloopers I call it that got a lot of views so I put together a compilation of six hours of Captain Kangaroo from all the way back from when he first started up until the 80s and that got crazy numbers of views people loved that so and the irony is not lost on me that I didn't start getting views until I started posting other people's stuff I'm well aware that I was doing that like ivory said it's more fun to watch with our peeps anyway I was very well aware of the fact that I was posting pre-existing material other people's stuff stuff with nostalgia value that wasn't getting copyright strikes so so it was fine but then I get this email from YouTube here says important notification channel no longer monetizing your channel is no longer eligible for monetization so I look at I look at my control panel here and it says your channel no longer eligible to monetize what happened after reviewing your channel we found that it does not follow YouTube's monetization policies we found that your channel contains the following reused content channel uses someone else's content without making changes that add significant value so even though I have 800 videos on there and the overwhelming majority of my videos are original book reviews that I created YouTube has decided that my channel is not original enough to be monetized and here's why that's significant at the end of 2022 I reached the hundred dollar threshold for a payout and got a hundred dollars in December I got a hundred dollars and I think it was the first time I ever got money from YouTube and now since that last payout in December I had gotten up to almost 35 dollars worth of advertising revenue and Google saw that they were gonna have to pay me that later this year they would have to pay me another hundred another hundred dollars and they don't want to pay me that's what this is about they don't want to pay they didn't delete the channel they want the channel to stay there and continue to bring in advertising revenue for them but I'm not going to get paid so yeah so my stuff will stay on YouTube and when people watch it they will continue to see advertisements but it'll be all money that goes to Google and then to me so the hypocrisy here they will continue to earn money off of other people's material but I won't that's what this is about they don't want to pay me yeah bottom feeders that's a good way of putting it bottom feeders so and and think about this there there are so every once in a while you'll see statistics of the number of the number of hours of material that's posted to YouTube every day it's an insane number of hours of video that's posted every day it's like like a million hours or a billion hours crazy numbers just think about all all the tiny YouTubers on there there aren't getting enough views to reach the hundred dollar threshold for a payout or the people like me who are starting to reach the threshold and YouTube is cutting us off think of that $35 that I'm not going to get paid is sitting in Google's bank account earning interest and think about the millions of people who have similar amounts that aren't that they're not going to get paid and all that money is earning interest for Google you're talking about millions and millions of dollars in interest that they're earning off of other people's money and see it's not just it's not just revenue that they're going to be earning off of the off of my Captain Kangaroo videos it's what little whatever pennies that that I'm getting from my my 300 plus book reviews because there will be advertising revenue from those over the years even though it'll be pennies but you multiply my pennies by the million people that they've cut off just like me and you're talking about millions of dollars yeah there has to be some kind of class action some kind of class action lawsuit that would that would ask that would demand research into how much money Google is making off of interest for money that it's not paying out claiming that it can't pay out or won't pay out like all these kids doing reaction videos to movies and music but those there are some kids doing that stuff that are pretty entertaining I watched a guy last night the young guy looked like he was in his 20s he was listening to dark side of the moon for the first time and he looked like he was a rapper not like he was a rapper style and it's rare to see someone's mind literally explode to actually see it happen but he was he was stunned he was stun locked over what he was hearing and people who've never heard who've never listened to that album they have no idea what they're gonna hear once they start listening to it he was act he was legit listening to it he wasn't talking all the way through it and making jokes like like some kids do all the way through it he was he would be smiling and laughing and going oh wow what is that and and sometimes he would just be silent and and and he would be saying how are they doing that and it was great to see that and he's not getting any revenue off of that at all even though thousands of people have watched it because he's playing Pink Floyd music Pink Floyd is getting all that revenue and they should but with something like that there has to be something for the creator of the video to get there has to be something Carol there's a couple of youtubers I want you to look up I want you to look up I want you to look up a youtuber called Whinsery W H I M S O R Y Whinsery is tiny little blonde girl who is watching movies she started doing reactions to movies and she's brand new she's only just now started doing it but she's already got thousands of subscribers that's I don't know how people do it but she looked at the list of the Academy Awards or some some organizations list of greatest movies of all time and she realized she hadn't seen any of them so she started picking movies off the list and watching them and she has a lot to say a lot of really smart things to say about them she's paying better attention than I ever did the first time I watched some of these movies she's it's good to start with her because she's only just started she only has she has enough videos that you could catch up she just posted a new one today that's why I thought of her name right now she watched Gladiator I think the very first movie on her list was was Monty Python on the Holy Grail I think that was her very first pick and when I saw that when I saw that that was her first movie my first thought was oh well she she jumped off the deep end she has no idea watching Monty Python's Monty Python on the Holy Grail is really difficult to get into if you don't know Monty Python and she had no idea who they were she thought it was going to be about someone named Monty looking for the Holy Grail she had no idea she was about to see sketch comedy and I think you'll like her I think you'll like Winsory really smart little girl very unusual a little person I've never seen anyone quite like her and there's this there's this other one this redneck woman I use the word redneck because that's that's what she is she's like she's like Riva McIntyre and she leans into that too what is her name but the first time I saw her she watched 2001 Space Odyssey and when I started watching when I saw that I was thinking oh no this is going to be some young person who doesn't know how to watch this movie doesn't won't know how to watch Kubrick won't know how to watch science fiction and and she was smart as a whip all the way through this movie she was paying attention she was she was actually watching the movie 2001 Space Odyssey you have to watch it's not so much about listening because there's really not much as far as dialogue you have to watch what's happening and she was watching closely and she ended up really loving it and having a lot of really smart things to say about it what is her name what is her name yeah there's Winsory just posted gladiator Ashley Burton A S H L E I G H Burton B U R T O N look for Ashley Burton her most recent videos Total Recall which I'm not going to watch because I hate that movie but watch her watch Ashley Burton watch 2001 Space Odyssey and see how smart she was about it yeah she's country as hell um let's have the focus okay and she watched um a Marx Brothers movie Ashley watched a Marx Brothers movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago she watched a night at the opera and I was really wondering how she was going to respond to it if she would think it was funny because that humor is a Marx Brothers style of humor has gotten old I have to admit that it's gotten old um and I can see how some younger generations might not connect with it all but she did she did and see there were all the way through that movie all the way through night at the opera she was saying is that mustache painted on is that painted yeah it was a fake mustache and she was like is that guy gonna talk is he ever gonna talk but then when uh when Chico started playing the piano she was like oh this is great all right so I've been uh I've been talking for an hour here I'm gonna cut it off oh night at the opera is your favorite okay I'm not sure what my favorite is they all have their moments duck soup is the one with the mirror scene I like them the mirror scene when when when Chico and Harpo both dressed up like Groucho to try to trick to try to trick Groucho that's when you realize how much they all looked alike have the reason they looked different was really just because of their hair and their and their clothes when they all when when they both put on a mustache and glasses and put on the cigar they all look exactly the same you could tell they were brothers at that point um what was I gonna say also look for can you sleep on your stomach with those big buttons on your pajamas okay who said that did is that something Ashley said are you already watching a video because I remember that line oh was that Harpo was she talking about Harpo in his Pagliacci costume is that can you sleep on your stomach with those big buttons on your pajamas yeah um also look for Groucho to the opera singer oh Groucho said that to the opera singer okay there's one line from one of the one of the movies one of the movies where they're on a cruise ship and uh my favorite line in the whole movie Groucho talking to um Groucho talking to to uh the the lady the the lady what's her name the tall lady that's in all their movies um Margaret uh Margaret Dumont um the state room scene uh no night at the opera has the state room scene there's another one there's another movie where they're on a cruise ship and the whole movie takes place on the cruise ship night at the opera has a cruise ship scene but there's a scene where he's talking to Margaret Dumont they're sitting at a table and and they're talking about art and he says what is art what art is art and east is east and west is west and if you take and he says something if you take if you take carrots and boil them like radishes or something like that he says it takes much it tastes much more like prunes than rhubarb does and of course he says that all super fast and that was my favorite movie that was my favorite line in that whole movie and me and my parents went to see that movie and um i was waiting for that one line so i could laugh hysterically at that one line and just as that scene was coming up my mother leaned over to me and she pointed at someone else who was sitting a couple of rows in front of us off to the side and she said and she says what is that girl eating she hadn't spoke to me through the whole through the whole movie but just as the scene is starting she leans over to me says what is that girl eating and i look over and said what what are you talking about and then the line had come and gone and i missed it i was so mad my mother my mother managed to do things like that all the time to do and say things at exactly the wrong moment she always did that i was like what are you talking about i don't know what's easy and what are you talking about and then boom the scene was gone if you take carrots and stew them like applesauce it tastes much more like prunes than rhubarb does that was the line i think it was if you take carrots and stew them like applesauce it takes much more like prunes than rhubarb does which makes no sense but that's that's a gradual line i think i'm getting i think i'm remembering the line correctly anyway uh i'm done with youtube and i've shown you why and uh i have uh i have an account on kick.com

casted makes paper and casted what does that mean casted in metal there was a tweet from a couple years ago mic that i i've never stopped thinking about this woman said that she picked up her she picked up her little boy at uh at daycare and there's this other little girl there who was convinced that her that her boy had two moms and and she was like what do you mean what do you mean he has two moms i'm his mom and this girl said okay there's there's the pretty mom and then there's the other mom and then she explained in great detail she described in great detail both of these moms and this woman realized they're both me the pretty mom and the other one that tweet has been in my mind ever since she makes molds like the flowers and casts the paper pulp in those molds often she paints
