I am currently changing the code for the submitted Beat Saber songs for today's live chat (in under an hour from the posting of this message). Thank you to Greil for figuring out the fixes and working with me to fix the code!
Excited to see you all in the live chat today while we watch Elizabeth slash blocks to your song requests!

Hello dear Patrons,
We need your help. Last month, we launched our podcast. Unfortunately many of our plans to push the launch to success were curtailed by a different kind of pushing - I gave birth to Mycroft 2 days before. We’re now trying to reinvigorate the podcast so that it will be featured more prominently and gain some traction.
If you haven’t already and would like to help, you can subscribe, rate, and review the podcast at these links:

Hello everyone, Kirk here,
We won't be having a live chat today, decided at the last minute. Elizabeth's parents are in town (arrived last night) and between that and the baby, we're just not set up to host a live chat. Apologies for the last minute notice!
Elizabeth will try to log in for Among Us during the normal time if she can (and if he's sleeping). Will let you all know on Discord.
Have a fantastic weekend all!

Kirk

Hello all, Kirk here.
Late again! Below are the winners of last months' poll on Discord for the top requested reactions for Elizabeth. We'll let this poll run on Discord until the end of Next Week, when I post June's poll.
We will be returning to filming videos next month, so March, April and May's winners will be filmed then.
As always, please review ALL songs at their hyperlinks before voting on the song you want reviewed.
Thank you all!

Things are going rather smoothly now with schedules and the like, and so I plan on hosting another live chat this evening for a Baby update and AMA (Ask Me Anything)!
I can't wait to see all your beautiful faces, and share with you everything that's been going on. See you soon!

Hello lovelies!
We've missed our regular Wednesday night chats and want to send you all a quick update.
The evening timing has been particularly difficult to manage with Mycroft, as that tends to be his fussiest time. 7:00PM also is when Elizabeth is supposed to be sleeping (Kirk and Elizabeth are splitting night shifts), so that's been tough as well. Despite all that - we're working to get on a schedule when we can regularly be back to you.
We'll do all we can to be b...

Hello dear Patrons!
While some of you knew the name a little early after our live chat, today we're officially introducing Mycroft to the world. :-)
He was born on May 23, 2022, and weighed 9 lbs 2 oz. Not only is he a heavy boy - he's also quite tall, measuring 20.5 inches at birth.
He has his Dad's smirk and his Mom's strong lungs. He's also very healthy and eating and sleeping fairly well!
I hope you will all join us in giving Mycroft a warm and loving w...

We're late. We're late. For a very important date! (should I read Alice in Wonderland to the wee one?)
We did not post an April poll to Patreon for you all to vote, and May's poll numbers are in. So we're going to do back-to-back polls to get things on the whiteboard for when Elizabeth returns to filming in July.
Please take a look at the playlist and watch each video before voting!

Hello all, Kirk here.
We're going to host our first live chat after the birth of our little one this Friday at our usual time, then maybe some Among Us afterwards.
And yes. This will be an AMA about the topic you all have been wondering about, and desperately have been asking me in private messages all last week: Kirk, what is your favorite Tool song?
Maybe I'll answer that.
See you all then!

Exclusive Invitation! I’m so excited for you all to be the first to know… The Charismatic Voice Podcast is launching at the end of this month! I’m inviting you, my amazing Patreon community to participate in that launch by listening to the first couple episodes early and leaving ratings and reviews.
This podcast revisits my Tea Time Interview format, with exclusive bonus commentary from me about the making of each episode. It also launches with a never-before-heard interview
Hi all!
We're still on for live chat today, but we'll need to make it just 30 minutes due to an unexpected car appointment. Kirk and I will have to leave right at 1:30PM.
Extra fun stuff: we have a fun baby-themed game planned for y'all. We'll be able to breeze through it in 30 minutes, so show up ready to play and have fun!
See you all soon.

Hello all! We’re cancelling live chat tonight because Elizabeth’s having a rough time with nausea and fatigue. Hopefully this means the wee one will arrive soon.
As a bonus, here’s a picture of the super soft baby blanket Elizabeth’s mom made. :-)
Hello all!
Back in March, we had Dave help put together a travel playlist for Kirk and myself as we took a trip back to California for Kirk's brain surgery. On our drive back, it was wonderful to dig into some of your choices for feelgood songs that would bring some happiness and soothing to Kirk during his recovery.
To those that missed the playlist, you can listen to it here: 2022-05-08 23:40:55 +0000 UTC View Post
