 Hi, Julie. How are you? Good, how are you? Good. Is my audio not synced up with my lips again? No, you're synced. OK, because you were pausing, so I wasn't sure. Oh, no, I'm just sorry. Hi, everybody. Oh, OK. Hi, everybody who's here. I've said John Tyner is here, and Kathy Nava, and Robyn. Robyn is here. And so far, there's three more people out there who are not saying anything. They're being quiet. I'm going to be quiet. You can do all the talking. This will be a really short broadcast then. Oh, there's Kay. Hi, Kay. Kay is here. Glad she's here. Kay, the creator of the new Jedi challenge. It's not renewed. Look, he said that, and he scared away two people. Now there's only five people watching. Oh, my gosh. Oh, there were only six before. Charles, I just scared away one. The force was with me. Hi, Isabel. Hi, Charles. 26 degrees for me. That's awesome. John and I are 26 degrees apart. That's awesome. Almost. I'll be there for Christmas. See that. What are you bringing? Not you. John, we're practically cousins. I'm going to John's for Christmas. I know. I get it. I want to know what you're taking there. What's the green bean dish? My small dog. Every time. The green bean casserole. The green bean dish that everybody always brings. I'll bring that. Well, John, what do they think about that in Ireland? Because I don't know if they've ever had the. They may not have ever had it. The green bean casserole. I can bring that and funeral potatoes. I love funeral potatoes. We call them company potatoes here, but they are. Well, happy Friday, everybody. Happy Friday, tonight, and I'm just going to get this out of the way to start with. In two weeks, I can't ever find the center of my screen here. In two weeks, there's no Friday, date night. Because, why, A-1? Because Julie is traveling. And I'm not doing it by myself. No, that's not why. Why? Yes, that's it. That's it. That's convenient, but you're also traveling. I know. Yes, I will also be traveling. Probably not. Probably could have squeezed it in, but I'd prefer not to. Hi, Daniel. Nice to see you. Future guest star for the week. We'll be seeing you again. Yeah. And Patricia dropped in, too. Hi, Patricia and Thomas. That's awesome. Let's see. I'm watching, but going to start walking on the treadmill. Good for you, Patricia. I kind of wish I had one under my desk. I've got a, my desk is a standing desk, too. So it would be cool to put a treadmill under here, but I don't know that I would be very happy with it for very long. I'd like to sit down now. How do you do that when you have a treadmill desk? Hi. That's a good question. I don't know. Molly, do you know? Oh, we don't have a ton of stuff to do. Oh, does Molly want to come say hi? I was just asking if she knew what you want to come up here. Come on. Very cool. Hi, Molly. She can't hear us. Hi, Julie. She can't hear me. She can hear you. There she is. She did some genealogy. She did her first grooming since we got her. They did a good job. Aw. That's awesome. And there's Steven Tomasowitz. Let's turn a little mohawk. I love that. She has kind of a ground on look when you do that to her. Yeah. That's what I said, too. A movie from way back when. Yeah. Oh, Kathy's in a heat wave. That goes. 112. I'm glad I'm not there. I know. It actually got cool here last night. It's 73 here right now in Illinois. What? I don't know what's going on. That's crazy. Weird. We have a neighborhood gathering this evening, so it'll be nice to have a explore while we're all wandering around outside. That would be good. Yeah. So Friday date night, we should talk about stuff. We can talk about the 500 brick walls. We could do that. It's not to do with Friday date night, but we're doing what Friday date night could make. The challenge better. Couldn't it? Yeah. For sure. I mean, we're making the database better. We're making it easier to find duplicates. We're making it easier to correct mistakes. So everything we're doing is awesome for the challenge, too. It all connects together. Along with Kay's Jedi Challenge, Judcom Improvement Challenge, which we're calling the Jedi Challenge. May this be with you. Where are you going? Good stuff. Anyway, I'm glad they're here to chat with each other. They're talking about grandkids. I know. Glad we could give you guys a place to meet. A place to meet. Yeah. You don't have any grandkids to talk about. We just have dogs. John, I realize I'm echoing a little. I think I'm not sure. I have issues with my Wi-Fi sometimes. I don't know if it's coming in through Aon's mic or what. Let me set something here. I can hear it, too. Is that any better? Really annoying. Is that any better? I can just hear it. We'll hurry. We'll get out of here. I updated stats last week. And we have not yet crossed 25,000 dated profiles yet. But where this are. So I'm interested to see what it is. I'm interested to see if the Kinectathon has an effect on our undated profiles. Because honestly, if you guys went out there and wanted to work on those during the Kinectathon, you're going to be able to add a bunch of profiles to these. So do it. Do it. Do it. That'd be fun. I'm excited. I'm going to add a bunch of my husband's family during the Kinectathon, I think. Oh, that'll be fun. I can hear myself. It's driving me nuts. Tell us about the 500 brick walls, Aon. So we're doing this thing that you may or may not have heard of called the Wiki Tree Challenge. And since January, we've broken over 500 brick walls for genealogy guest stars. I'm still here. There's a G2G post about it. There is. I'm still here. Can you hear me? I can. But we are very excited because... See, you know what? I'm going to do... Now you're just talking a lot. I'm going to leave and come back. You stay here. I'll be right back. Oh, my gosh. Yes, tell them about the thing. I'll be right back. I just told them about the thing. Be right back. Tell them some more. Tell them about the challenge. Are you going to do it? Just leave. I'll be right back. I just got ditched on date night. It's crazy. Anyway, yeah, still 500 brick walls. We're excited. And we have Lewis Kessler coming up. And it's going to be really fun for his week. And there's Julie. Did it help? I don't know what the problem was that made you leave. I don't hear an echo anymore. Thanks, John. John's here for me. They're here for me, even though you left me on date night. I'm sorry. No. We're just, we're just problems, Steven. We're just, we're like a technical problem together. No, they said it's better. John did. Thomas did. Karen did. Oh, that's good. Yay. No echo. Okay. Do you guys want to look at stats or not? Oh, show them the stats. I'm very, Ben Molesworth a couple of weeks ago or a month ago said, you guys should go, you should do like a tell stories of some of the stuff that you found. And I'm like, yes, we should. But unfortunately, I haven't had time to do anything like that. So here, whoops. So what we need to do is have an alert for like the Wednesday before Friday date night so that we have some time to find stuff because like, I don't know about you, but I, it's Monday. And then the next thing I know, it's like 155 on Friday. And it's time. Yeah. And we're like, oh, I didn't find anything. Yeah. Well, I think, I think everybody knows that you and I have a lot going on every week. It just happened. So I would love it if somebody could contribute some ideas for things that you'd like to hear about on Friday date night updates. If you find a cool family that you've, you know, been working on, I know that I fall down the rabbit hole when I'm working on that stuff. So I'm sure everybody else does too. So bring it on. You can, you can let me know on discord. You can send me a private message. I would be happy to hear your stories. So that would be cool. Okay. So here stats. Can you see them? I'm zooming. I can't. Yeah. Okay. Look at that. Look, we are that close to 25,000 improvements. It is awesome. I can't believe that we've had that many. Yeah. So if you'll notice the green number here, it means that we probably opened up some private profiles. So they got released into the wild. That happens every once in a while. Then we look like we haven't done enough. But I bet they'll make it by next week. We did. We did enough. I think so. Because look at how much it jumped up from the week before. I know. I was just looking at how much it jumps each week. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, if you, I think it'll be great for the connect-a-thon. I think this would be it. And I'm not, of course, I love Friday night. And I would love for you guys to keep working on undated profiles. But I really do think it would be a great way to add to the connect-a-thon. I think you could probably find a lot of stuff to work on and make profiles from. Yeah. For sure. What else do we have? Yeah. Okay. Putting this away. I feel so boring today, you guys. I'm very sorry. It's just been one of those weeks. Got a lot going on. We're getting ready to leave. We're going to be traveling for three weeks with our RV. So, that's been taking some time. Oh, this time. It will. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. So, does anybody have any questions about any Friday date night stuff? Anything in general we can talk about? Swing that. I don't think we're going to go that far, Stephens. We're heading down a little further south. Get to go see our daughter. Our niece get married and get to visit with our daughter. So, that'll be fun. That'll be really fun. You'll get to see her daughter. I think so. And the buttons. You'll get to see the buttons in person. Yes. Yes, Charlie and his buttons. Some of you probably already heard me talk about our daughter's dog and her button and his buttons that he uses to tell her things. He really does tell her things. He wanted to go outside the other day. Did I tell you about this? So, he pushed outside now. And she goes. She said back to him. Outside later. So, then he pushed later now. So, he was talking back to her a little bit. He's a smart little guy. Yeah. All right, you guys. I'm sorry we don't have anything terribly exciting. Just kidding. I'm sorry we don't have anything terribly exciting. I'm sorry we don't have anything terribly exciting. Terribly exciting. To talk about today. We've had a lot going on. The challenge has been a big focus this week. We just had a lot of really good stuff happening with the challenge. I hope you guys got to attend the Wednesday Night Lifecast. If not, come to the next one on this coming Wednesday. We will have we have a Dutch genealogist named go ahead. No, you go ahead. I'm not going to say his name right. You say it. Born? Yeah. Probably. Except if you have a Dutch accent, it sounds way different. And then Louis Kessler will be joining us. That should be a fun one. Yeah. So, yeah, Louis Kessler, I don't know if you guys want to hear with him, but he is going to be a guest. He has been on Wiki Tree for a while now and he's been helping with the other challenge guests. So, now he gets to have his turn coming up this week. Or not this coming week, but the week. We've had a couple of our guest stars actually participate in helping in the challenge weeks, which is kind of awesome. Yeah, it's fun. Thomas, you should sign up and do this week, but I understand we have other obligations in life too, but we can't all just do genealogy all the time. All the time. Melanie McCombe? Yes. Now, is she in the United States or is she in England? She's in the States. Okay. I don't know why I thought she was perhaps in England or maybe somewhere. I don't know why I thought that. She works at the New England Genealogical and Historical Society. Now, I remember because she knows David Allen Lambert. Yep. Very nice. All right, guys. I think we're going to have to head out so you can go date. Have fun dating. We'll see you on discord and it would be great if you guys Oh, sorry, Stephen. You are the only one on Facebook visiting today, so everybody else is on YouTube. We have about 14 people here right now. So 13 besides you. So we won't be doing Friday date night again for four weeks, is that right? Right. In a month. We'll be back. I would do date math on the air, but I'm not going to do it. It's 28 days from today, so you guys figure that out. It'll be August 6th. Yes. Okay. All right. So you guys, subscribe to the WikiTree channel. We love it when people subscribe and if you could vote up, you don't have to vote up. Just don't down for it. Right. We love that you guys come and hang out with us. I wish we could all talk together. That would be a lot of fun, but it doesn't work out that way. Yes. All right. Have a great weekend and enjoy the connectathon and we'll see you in 28 days. Bye.
