 I love making update videos because it's a great way to remind people how much I screw up in this channel and what a massive disappointment I often am. Let's talk about some stuff going on right now. I think it was only a few weeks ago. I announced I was gonna do a podcast. I was gonna make the show more streamlined so I could get them out the door quicker and do a bunch of stuff that I haven't done. I started to do it, but then some family issues came up, those things that you dread you never have to deal with but know at some point on the horizon they will hit like a ton of bricks and then you're gonna have to face them head on. Well that's what happened over here. My wife to get personal, I don't like to get personal often. I like to keep my family and home life separate from YouTube but it's kind of affecting things now and I feel like I owe it to patreons and YouTube join members and people that have supported me whether it's on Twitch or just watching all the videos over the years, I feel like I have to like at least say a little bit about what's going on. For those of you that don't know don't follow along on the community tab aren't on my Discord at Adam Does Movies, haven't seen me on Twitch at Adam Does Movies. I've said just like once or twice on some of those platforms that my wife Lindsey has Crohn's disease which is a terrible disease that it doesn't have a cure, it has a patch job basically. There's a way to put your Crohn's in remission so that you don't have flare ups, your skin doesn't get rashes, you don't get sick. It is a really awful disease to live with. She had a flare up a couple months ago on top of some other stuff going on with her legs or feet. She got this horrible rash that is not going away. We've been to a bunch of doctors, we've had a bunch of opinions, people still don't seem to know what's going on. Three weeks ago she got very sick. I found her on the floor not moving. I called the ambulance, we rushed to the ER, she was fainting over and over again and there was genuinely a point where I had to go home and get my kids where I thought this is the last time I'm gonna see my wife. It was one of the scariest things I've had to deal with. Yeah, I lost my dad when I was 16 and I said years after that, there's no way to hit me again. There's no way to hurt me as bad as I've already been hit because I lost a best friend. What could be worse? And then it dawned on me a couple weeks ago when I was driving back from the ER. Okay, yeah, it turns out you can get hit worse or at least of equal value. So that was that. I didn't post some videos obviously for a while outside of a couple that I had lined up and I did make it known that I was having some trouble with everything going on at home. But family comes first here. Even if I joke once in a while in videos like, oh, marriage sucks or kids are baggage. I love my wife like no other. I love my children more than anything in the world. They are always the number one priority. So if someone's ill, if we have an emergency, if I need to take months off, which I have done before years ago on the show when I had kids, I will do it. No questions asked. So after three miserable days at the hospital, we get home with really no answers. She fainted several times. Her blood pressure is insanely high and it appears that her Crohn's medication is not working anymore. After five years, it's done. We have to come up with solutions for it. We are still lining up doctors. We're still getting people to see and figure out exactly what to do next. In the meantime, just three days ago, I had to call the ambulance again. She was passing out. I don't know what to do, you know? So back at the hospital, more fluids, more tests. It's honestly been a nightmare. It really has. And the show, obviously, the channel suffers for that, which again, it's not my job. It's a hobby that I've built up into a second career, one that I really love doing. That's why I'm doing this video. I just want you to know that the goals that I had set up, they're not gonna get hit, at least not right away. My goal right now is to keep my wife healthy, to keep my kids happy, safe. And this stuff is all extra. I am working nonstop, though, with my full-time job, with this side hobby, and with doing the stuff around the house, making sure the kids are getting to school, their homework's getting done, that Lindsay is safe and has everything she needs. And then we do the show. I just wanted to get that out there. I just want you to know that I joke around all the time. This is supposed to be a fun, carefree place. I leave politics out. I leave religion out. I leave all that stuff. It's just movies here. That's always been the goal. Occasionally I slip up and say something I regret and people are like, well, you said you were gonna talk about this. And that's fair. But this is a passion for me. So I felt I needed to say something. Also, during the disaster that has been this month, February's been garbage. I'll say that right now. I did manage to add some tears to YouTube. So I have Patreon at patreon.com slash adamdosmovies and there's different tiers you can join at. Well, on YouTube there was only one tier. It was the 499. I think it was just Adam Does Movies tier. I found out you could actually add tears to them. I don't know when they added that probably months ago or years ago, but at the time I set it up they didn't have that. So I was trying to mirror them to the Patreon account. So I was adding silver, gold, mithril. In the process of doing that, I ended up removing everyone I had that was a member on the YouTube join. So now I have like two. I deleted all of them. Because I was updating the memberships, I must have deleted the original one and there's no way to get it back as far as I know. So everyone that was supporting me there is gone. So if you would please, if you were previously supporting the channel and you feel like you still want to become a join member again, there is a 399, which I didn't even offer before it was 499. There's a 399 silver, I think, and then there's a 999 gold, and then the $30 mithril membership which gives you an exclusive movie review every month. So you pick out a movie for me, I have to watch it and review it, give you a shout out in the video. It is an awesome value when I can get to those videos, but that is like my big goal, watching a bunch of movies and doing reviews for Patreons because right now you can do it on Patreon as well. Now I added a new tier that's on Patreon and on YouTube. This is the big one. I don't actually expect to get anyone to do it, but it's $100. It's the unobtainium tier, and it's essentially, it works the same as the mithril where you get to pick out a show, but you also get to pick out a show format. If you've been watching this channel for a long time, I've done like 40 different types of shows. Might be exaggerating a little, but there's been a lot. I had Adam Rantz movies, which I still do from time to time. I had Movie Feuds, which was the bread and butter here for many years. That was the big one. Poster breakdowns, trailer trash, the cringe, nerds and players. There was a bunch of different shows. Car side reviews, a lot of them, a lot of shows. I don't do really any of them anymore because YouTube was really hurting me since I did so many different things. It was confusing the audience. Now it's just Adam does movies and then there's the Rant side, there's the review side, the reaction side. It's all under the same umbrella. However, I'm offering this unobtainium so that if you want to see those back in their glory, you get to pick one out. Say for instance, you want to see me do a cringe episode of the DCU or you want to see a Movie Feuds of Black Adam versus I don't know, Man of Steel. Those are options on the table. Anything, anything's on the table really. That's just another way to support the channel. But like I said, I screwed up, I destroyed all the YouTube joined members. And I would love if you came back. Please come back. Those are ways to support Patreon, YouTube, Twitch. I play, I try to play twice a week. That's been rough obviously because of what's been going on. But I will get back to it eventually as things get better here. I am trying to really focus on once a week film schedule, which means I would film four or five videos and those would just go out throughout the week. That has been the big goal and that I think is still manageable. So that's where we're at. That's how things are. I wanted to just get that all out there, let you know we're all fine, we're all safe, we're all healthy, but we got to figure things out. Again, I appreciate all the support. I appreciate all the viewership. Let's keep this channel rocking. I still want to hit that 100,000 goal this year. It has to be doable. We just need like one or two really great videos to take off like lightning and we can make it happen. Thanks again. And hopefully I'll see you very soon. Bye.
