The Sunbeam Toaster Rises Again!

Hi ho, Patroninos!

https://youtu.be/bLk1cjZ4ll0

This has been uploading since forever ago. Internet troubles today. Anyway, it's more or less a simple (but fun) update about the Sunbeam toaster and a repeate...

Sales Taxes? Maybe? Kinda?

Oh hi there!

Patreon has been telling us to tell you (so you can hear it from us first) about upcoming changes they're being forced to make. And the super great thing is - it might not even matter to you at all! In fact, it probably won't!

So here's the deal. Apparently some new count...

To Bloop or not to Bloop?

OK, well maybe I've been a little too conservative with my judgment. So I'll put it to you - should I re-edit the ending with the patented Smooth Jazz and Bloopers of Bloopiness or no?

If the answer is no, I'll edit together the outtakes as a Patreon exclusive. But if yes, then I'll re-uplo...

Pulse Oximeters - Now with 100% more Bloop!

Thanks for your input!

I just want to say thanks for adding your thoughts about doing a pulse oximeter video. It's definitely a go, in fact I'm well on my way to finishing the script. I've incorporated a lot of the advice that you all had given, and am starting the video with a disclaimer of sorts - basically saying th...

Requesting your input on a potential Pulse Oximeter video

Hi there!

So... I'm wondering if you think a video on pulse oximeters would be a good/tasteful idea. I'm not sure if this has come up before or not, but my mom's a nurse (not working clinically right now, so definitely not among those on the front lines) and she wanted to buy a pulse oximet...

I made an irresponsible purchase (and what the deal was with the Aging Wheels cameo)

Sooo.... yeah. I've been keeping a bit of a secret from y'all. And it's this. I bought a Nissan Figaro.

Now, I'm sure many of you may be asking, "why?" Well, I'll tell you.

Long ago, probably when I was in high school (and possibly before then) I was going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole...

There are about 40 (!) of you who are pretty new here thanks to what happened this morning. Well actually, it happened last night at about 8:45 PM but I went to bed early. And I'm very glad I did or I wouldn't have slept a wink!
