 I've been again here again. There he goes. Yeah, he's moving. Yeah, he's moving. He's not a stuffed dog. He's actually alive. Well, I will come up with another nap. He likes to sleep. Yeah, but again, it's like, whoa, what do you want? I'll forget it. I'm going back to sleep. Yeah, it's like, don't bother me. Speaking of being bothered, I'm being watched from the outside of our door right here. I'll be right back. Talk amongst yourselves. So what has everybody been up to? I wish I could say I was up to some really positive stuff. Oh, yeah. All right, let me preface this by saying, when I was little, my brother and I were taken care of by an Armenian couple. And I looked up the guy's parents and they came from a town that does not exist anymore. Now, the reason why it doesn't exist anymore is going to shock you. Apparently, the town in Armenia was flooded by dam breaking, but it wasn't broken by conventional means, I don't think, because when the dam was broken, it was during the Armenian genocide. So put two and two together here, guys. Yeah. Yeah, that's terrible. That is. Yeah, we were sharing sad stories before we came on the air here. Yeah, I found a great, great uncle record for him that I didn't know had it existed, but he passed away when he was just two months old. But the cause of death on his record was one I'd never seen before. He died in 1887, and it was the cause of death was disobedient stomach. Has anybody ever seen that before? That's not my story. Disobedient stomach? My guess is he couldn't keep food down. I mean, that was my guess. Yeah. Yeah, I actually got burned apparently. Some kind of a birth defect, maybe, or something like that. And my sad story was this family who had three children. One died when he was an infant. The next son died when he was 17 because he got caught out on a ship who was working on a ship and it capsized in a hurricane. He and his shipmates were rescued, and he died a few hours later from starvation. And then the third child, she was 16 when she married this man. And then she died seven months later. He married three more times and ultimately died of alcohol poisoning. So that was just a very sad situation all around. So it was a very uplifting day. Yes. I think we're going to have to go to the bar afterwards and drink our sorrows away. So you put your sad stories in the chat and let us know what sad stories you have. Yes, please. So we all go to the bar. That was Carol. That was in 1887 he passed away. He was the second child. So the couple had just gotten married. They had one son who did live for quite a long time. He was born in 1885. So this guy, Linton Overland, was born in 1887, September, and then passed away in November that year. And then my great-great-grandfather called well. His brother was born in 1888. He lived to be a good, a good time. Yeah. It's so sad when you see these families that just lose one child after another. Which is hard for me. There might be another one because I saw there was a record for a different year, a year that I don't have another brother. And it just says Overland in the registry. It doesn't say I give a first name. So I'm a little worried about what that means. Yeah. Well, let's move on to something a little more positive. Would you like to share stats with us? Yeah. I would love to share some stats. And while you're doing that, what's that, Chris? Well, before we bust up the jack Daniels and drink our sorrows away. That's right, yeah. Well, while Greg is doing the stats, because I think we're all trying to make this fairly short this time, I'm going to put our secret word up. So go ahead and get started, Greg, and I'll put our secret word up for you guys. There we go. OK, so at the start at the top of the clock, we were at 42,000. And so I'm going to do something a little differently. I'm going to switch to just the pure user. So it's ranking all the users from top to bottom. And I'm just going to go every 50. I'm going to start at the very, very bottom. Let's scroll down. So there's 607 of us participating. That's a huge number. That is very impressive. Yeah. So some are just getting started and have one profile. And you know, every single profile counts. So that's great. Great. So thank you for doing that. And it's always funny to me is when you see a captain right at the very bottom of the team. The captain is the bottom of the team. And here, Melanie does a lot of work. She's obviously very busy. But she's got one profile in, so she starts. And then here's Betsy Cole. She has two profiles. But Betsy has been doing so much great work with the newt. And there's two net, so much, so they had to split the newt team into newt A and newt B. So I think she's doing a lot of mentoring and a lot of helping out. She definitely is. I've been through. Yeah. She's what? She's teaching, too. I think she has some students today. Yeah, she and I chatted a little bit earlier. She's very, very busy today. Busy, busy. Aowyn's on the great Guardians. I swear that sounds like some kind of secret ops team. Oh, yeah, look, and there's Aowyn. She has two as well. Yes, but she's also obviously being very busy this weekend, too. I'm amazed that Azure isn't down at one or two, because she does so much in behind the scenes. Yes. That's cool. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, anyways, there's a whole pile who have one. So I don't know why or how these are actually ranked. But the one who was ranked 600th is Angela Johnson from the Nordic Noir team. And then if we jump up 50 to get to 550, I'm going to do this so it's easier for me to make sure. Then we have Jen Lawrence from the Southern Super Sweepers with two squared for profiles done and then jumping up another 50 to 500. I hope I'm sorry I'm going to give some of you motion sickness while I do this, but I'm fine. I'm fine. Look away. So until I tell you, I'm at the next range. So I'm trying to figure this glasses out. You know what's kind of cool, right? We talked about those who had one, and then those who had two profiles. Then the last one had four profiles. Now we're doubling it. So we have eight profiles for the person who's in the 500th position. How cool is that? Cool. Erda from the Toddlin tortoises. OK, I'm scrolling again. So close your eyes so you don't get motion sick. And there we are at 450. You open your eyes again. Oh, not quite 2 times 18 because that would be 16. But we're at 13. Nice prime number there. Again for the Toddlin tortoises, Carolyn Hark from the Toddlin tortoises is at position 450. Scrolling again to get to 400. Let's go up and find it in 400 position from the Kiwi crew. We have SF Raquel with 18 profiles created so far. And then scrolling to get to 350. There we go. From Team Italy, James Smith. Hey, James, how are you doing? James was going to join us in the chat today. Is he in their chat? Anyways. I haven't seen him yet. Haven't seen him yet. Well, congratulations, James. James has done 24. That's three times eight or six times four. It's got lots of factors. It's a lovely number. Great number of profiles for James Smith, part of Team Corrado and the Corrado Project. Excellent. And a big fan of the X Friends app. Moving on to position number 300, which is being held by Kirby M. Drake. Kirby from the Western Red Cedars. And she has 32 profiles. Two to the power of five. Excellent. Very nice. So that follows in our doubling schema, 248, 16, 32. Very nice. In position 250, I think we're going to start going up a little faster soon. In position 250 at 43, just one more than the answer to the life of the universe and everything, is Rob Reed from the Splendid Spruces. So he knows even more than the life of the universe and everything. And plus his name is sorry, Literation. Yes, Rob Reed. Look at that. I wonder what his middle name could be. Roger Reed? Roger Rabbit Reed. No, it's Rob. It's gotta be an R. Sorry, Rob. What's Howard O. Reed? Yes. Actually, Rob, the way it's spelled with two Bs, that's the last name of a bunch of great greets that I've been working on in my adding siblings. He's number three. I've seen that last week. Yeah, yeah. And every, you know how when you add a new profile, it always gives you the list of people to check. It fills it full of Robertsons and Robsons, but no, it's just ROBB. So almost never are there conflicts for ones that already existed. Yeah, I don't get those. Then at position 200, we have with 56 profiles created, Lucy Lavelle from the Legacy Airs. Nice, nice work there, Lucy. Then at position 150, we have, oh, I'll overshot that one. 72 profiles created for Christine C. Miller, again from the Western Red Cedars. And then that was 150, right? So now we're looking at position 100. And position 100, whoop, there we go. From the Grave Guardians, one of the new brand new teams, Catherine K. Penner from the graph has exactly, look at this, she is in position 100 and she has done 100 profiles. Wow. Wow. That are the chances. That is so amazing. That is so amazing, look at that. And in fact, look, I mean, all these ones are numbers that are going down, like the position number is going down and these ones are going, like it's just, it's so cool. And then that is a really neat, really, very cool. And it's so neat that it crossed over right at 100 for Catherine. Congratulations Catherine. That is cool. That's one of the coolest coincidence is so far. We should take a screenshot of that. And then in position 50 is 188. So 100 plus the number of keys on a piano. And that is by, from Team French Fries, Irwin R. Manley has done that. So look at that, very impressive. Let's just skip up by 10s to get to the top. Position 40 with 217 profiles is Amanda L. Allardis. She's a treatment. That's good. And position 30, we have what 281 profiles, all Smith from the Mighty Oaks. Position 20 with 355. We have Anon Sharkey and the Mighty Oaks again. Position 10. Five hundred, five hundred and sixty four profiles for Kaio Legarero Silva and the Smokin' Snakes. And then on the top, we have, oh, look at his neck and neck. Wow, 1,105 in second position for Padula Plant. 1,119 for Jack Graham. Appalachian. Wow. And we have Danita in third place. Nice, she rolled that. Hey, she needs to make a video. She's throwing it out there. Yeah. Yeah, Danita needs to make, Danita seriously needs to make a video about how she does this. She really does, but I have no idea. Well, she explained in a GGG post once. Yeah, but she needs to make a video for it. A video. But she does a lot of prep to get it ready and stuff. And she... Does she? Yeah, she does. And anyways, there you have those are your stats. Cool, thank you. You're welcome. Good job everybody. We have a little chatting going on while you were doing that. Oh yeah. Should I share? Sure, go ahead. Or sad stories, kind of. Oh, sad stories, oh okay. Just a couple of the stories. I'm gonna go with the drag. Sharon, Sharon Haynes says she found a family where the father and two of his sons died within a few days of each other from Weald's disease, which I'm not familiar with. And then one of the daughters was in critical condition and that was in 1935. So they must not have had, I have to look that one up. I've never heard that before. It sounds awful. Yeah. I'll look it up real quick. And Melanie wanted to mention that she's been having terrible disconnect, terrible connection issues and has to keep rebooting her router. Oh no. That's why there's one profile under her. Melanie, I'm sorry, Melanie. I know, that's gotta be frustrating. Oh no. And then we can't rush you, Greg. We just can't rush you with the stats. Never since then. I always drag it out, though, and I'm sorry. No, I think everybody enjoys it. Oh good. Lisa Gervais? Yeah. Go ahead. I shouldn't have Google Weald's disease. Okay. No. It's okay. Well, it's not that bad. I mean, it is. This is a different fashion. Manifestations include fever. We don't feel you're joining this. Hemorrhage and respiratory distress. I mean, it's bad. That sounds awful. It sounds contagious. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty horrible. Yeah. Let's see. Lisa Gervais had, her mother had a half sister who died from inannition or starvation. It was probably a gastroenteritis situation, similar to what you saw. I think so, yeah. And then Shonda was asking if anybody's come across any weird names. She had a, let's see if I can get this right, Boonee Alpha, Leggerau, Worthington. Her second cousin twice removed. B-U-N-I-E-A-F-A. Boonee, for short, or Boonee. I don't, yeah. Me too. That was definitely noteworthy. Hey, Cap, Cal, can you send me a story and a DM or something that sounds interesting in a really, really bad way. I got a near exciter. Okay, here's one that, here's a name that Chris found. Yes. Vinorius. Victor Vinorius. Victor Vinorius. From Russia. That's different. Oh, that makes sense. I figured he was a broad-pavender from Vladivostok. You win. You win. And probably a violinist as well. Yes. That's funny. We had a couple other funny names. We had an olive who was a man. We had a Claire Laverne who was a man. We had a man named Zion, which apparently is often a woman's name. We have some people who probably need to take a nap, like Yoka has tried to marry someone's, who is mother-in-law. Ooh. That's unlikely pairing, I would say. Yeah. Went to bed after she tried to add a child as his own wife. That's good, Shonda. Yeah. So we all need to go to bed. Yeah. That's funny. That's a good sign. What is enigba? Engyba. Engyba. I don't know, Chris, is that a typo? Not Chris, very old, it's this one. Is that a name that you came across? That could be. Enjaina? I don't know. I don't know. Engyba? Enbiba? It's a name. Oh. It could be a name. Yeah, it's... Yeah, I've never seen that one before. Oh, I like Bill's. He's only 9,926, away from 10,000 profiles. Well, Bill's, you're so close, Bill, you can do it. You can do it. That's funny. Well, we've only been going for 19 minutes, but we probably wrapped this up and let people get going, couldn't we? All right, so let's see where we're at with the giveaway here. We've got 47 entries. I'm gonna give you guys 10 more seconds. No, we'll do until we get to 1945 on the clock here. So we've got about 15 seconds to enter the word challenge. That's great. 10 seconds. Well, let's get more entries and we know you're out there watching. Come on, guys, any second now. One second. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Hey, Sharon, my... Oh, wait, wait. She's gonna press the button. Okay, I gotta push the button. Okay, here we go. There we go. Okay. Come on, Kathy. Come on, Kathy, now. Let's... Woo-hoo, Catherine Archer. Congratulations, Catherine Archer. You win money. Congratulations, Catherine. Let's see what team she's on. Oh. Oops. I can't type that's enough. We have two Catherine's. Yes. I don't know if she's Catherine Morse or Catherine Penner. Oh, right. Archer. I don't know. Which Catherine are you? Yes, which Catherine. She'll tell us. Two thousand responses. Okay, yay, congratulations. All right, well, I'll add you to the list, Catherine. And if you want to, you can send A-1 an email, let her know you won. And that's kind of just our little safety catch there, but I'll make a note of your name and your own team roses. There she is, yep. Catherine. All right, perfect. Well, and we'd also like to ask for you guys to like the video, thumbs it up, subscribe to the Winkie Tree channel. And we are also having a little sale at the store. You can get 10% off in free shipping. And there's the link for that. If you guys feel like getting some swag while you're having fun with the connected phone. So. That's very cool. Fun times, everybody loves a new coffee cup, right? Mm-hmm, exactly. I do. I have a thing for coffee cups. Far too many of them in my cup. Yeah, that's right. I'm like you, Greg, though I like the TARDIS size. Oh, yes, it needs to be the big size. You're gonna do it and might as well make it count. Exactly. Yep. All right, you guys, well, I think we'll wrap it up and let you guys get back to your profile creations and hopefully you won't find too many sad stories in the next few hours. Yes, yes, hopefully. So we'll catch you later. I gotta help, wait, see, I'm still not as adept at this as you guys are, I gotta go over here and find the music to play us out. Okay. All right, everybody, we'll see you in a few hours. Bye. See ya.
