ADVANCE REACTION POLL! (Thanksgiving Week Edition)

Spencer's Notes For This Week (it's a long one, strap in!):

-JUST GOT BACK: As I write this, it is currently 2:09 AM, Tracey & I have been home for about 3 hours now, and I'm tired as hell right now. Luckily I got lots of editing done before we left so y'all will have some content on all our channels come Monday (aka today). I'll give a short recap of our anniversary on my Music YT, IG, and TikTok sometime this week. 

-TECHNICAL PROBLEMS: You'll notice a lack of new choices this week because the last session, our old hard-drive decided to not mount to my laptop, so the handful of videos we did do we had to save to my laptop. Luckily we were able to buy a new hard-drive (well, y'all bought it for us, thank you!) and I was able to recover the files from the old hard-drive by bending the cord and holding it in just the right position with my left hand whist moving the files to the new hard-drive with my right hand. (Maybe now the Nobel Committee will recognize my contributions to humanity!) With that said, we'll be spending all day on Friday (day after our Thanksgiving) recording more vids. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about those requests y'all sent after last week's poll!

-THIS WEEK'S MOVIE: This week's movie will be TRAINSPOTTING only because right now we can't find PAUL anywhere to watch for free. If anybody can find us a link to watch it for free, get in our DMs on here!

-BLACKADDER & FATHER TED: While the general consensus was to skip Series 1 of Blackadder & move on to the specials, we've decided to come to a compromise and we'll just do Episode 1 of the 1st Blackadder Series just to get a taste of it before we move on to the specials. So S1E1 of Blackadder and S1E4 of Father Ted will be coming this week at their regularly scheduled times.

-WORLD CUP WATCH PARTY: As a reminder, our Watch Party for the 2022 USA vs England World Cup Match is a go for this Friday, November 25th. Our stream will start at 1:45 PM EST/6:45 PM UK aka 15 minutes before the match starts. Speaking of the World Cup...

-ARIAS AND THE NATION: Just wanna give a shout-out to Daniel's personal channel and how he is CRUSHING IT with his World Cup Journey. If you haven't already, go check out his videos where he breaks down everything you need to know (ok, actually HE needs to know) for the 2022 World Cup IN THIS PLAYLIST and subscribe to his channel. HE WENT VIRAL IN CROATIA IN THIS JOURNEY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! Speaking of personal channels...

-SPENCER JOYCE MUSIC LIVESTREAM: Since I don't have a gig this week, I'll be doing a livestream on my Music YouTube on Tuesday, November 22nd starting at 5 PM EST/10 PM UK. I'll be playing both released and unreleased original songs, a few covers, some cursed mashups, and be trying to learn some of the songs y'all sent me on a community tab I did on my Music YT a while back. The World Cup ain't on then, so y'all ain't got an excuse lol. And as far as an iRacing stream goes this week, that's still up in the air as it's Thanksgiving on Thursday, Tracey and I might be going out Wednesday night (Thanksgiving Eve is one of the biggest drinking nights in America FYI) and our Saturday plans are up in the air too. So stay tuned to my Motorsports YouTube, I'll throw something up on the community tab when I find out our deal.

-HOLIDAY VIDEOS?!: While we're getting your last minute requests in, we'll be coming up on the time to record some Winter Holiday-related reactions. If you've got some, get into our DM's about some Holiday Vids we missed last year. Also it doesn't just have to be Christmas, if you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus, Winter Solstice, etc Send 'Em our way!

-YT MOVIE UPDATE/APOLOGY: While we will continue to give Full Movie reactions here on Patreon for the month of December, we will be pausing the cut-up Movie Reviews on YouTube after Friday when the condensed version of Oasis: Supersonic goes up until we officially launch Embrace The Cinema in Q1 of 2023. Reasons for this is 1) They take an excruciating amount of time to edit, and with the holidays coming up I just wont have time to edit them, and 2) I'll finally admit it: I'm not that good at it and the whole "give two fingers to the haters" approach isn't gonna help us in the long run. I'll also admit that it wasn't really mature of me to react the way I did to people's dislike of how I edited those videos, it was childish and selfish and not a proper way to process my feeling like I had wasted so much time editing one movie reaction where I could've used that time to edit 5 regular ETS21 Reactions that I know will get views and be positively received. And if anybody who is reading this was hurt by what I said when those Movie reviews came out, I'm sorry and I hope you can forgive me. With all of that said...

-LOOKING FOR AN EDITOR: While we have found a couple of potential editors on Fiverr, we'd like to open the opportunity to put money into our own people's pockets before we reach out to a complete stranger. If you are up for the job, please email your resume, examples of your work, your rates, and your turn-around time to embracethesuck21@gmail.com SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! ANY OTHER EMAILS WILL GET YOU BLOCKED AND BANNED FROM THE PATREON! We're specifically looking for someone to edit our Movie Reactions, and it could lead to you editing our regular reactions as well as videos on our own personal channels.

That's all for this week, LOVE Y'ALL!!! Happy Thanksgiving Week!
