Speaker A
the bottom of your Crazy's in pink. Yes. Um, so with the app and what you're going to get, the app on all of our merch and everything is going to be on there, so you'll be able to see that. So we have an
Speaker A
duct-tape challenge and um and unfortunately they got two strikes if they would have gotten one more strike their channel would have been shot a shutdown and we really wouldn't have a choice in that situation and Yvonne SEOs Aurora
Speaker A
exclusive section on there, and that the app kind of looks like this. I don't know if you guys can see. There we go. And so there are sections under here, and one of those sections is exclusive, and once you
Speaker A
fighting in the background they're not always perfect but unfortunately because of strikes on YouTube and because of the regulations obviously I'm a parent first and foremost so I do turn around and handle the situation but I've had to
Speaker A
become a member, let me just get into that. You're going to be seeing, oh, it's kind of too, it's too white of the screen. Oh, there it goes. Okay, so here's kind of the sections under the exclusive. My
Speaker A
able to show all of that I'm gonna be able to show how a parent what I do and there's no strikes and the other thing too sorry I don't know what to say about that but we're trying to make it as fast
Speaker A
camera doesn't want us to focus on it. Let me take off this lighting. Girl, fuss, come on, Marcus. Kinda, it's kind of on this screen. Sorry, it's not the best picture, but on it, we'll be doing a video will kind of show
Speaker A
exclusive to put this I would love to talk about it I would love to talk about what happened and because YouTube we don't know exactly who watches or it's kind of more public and the kids haven't wanted to put stuff out there that they
Speaker A
a little bit more about it, but without you will get exclusive content from crazy middles and crazy pieces. One of the things that the kids are so excited about is they each get their own channel. They each get their own section, and they
Speaker A
answer is completely yes we are planning to change anything in regards to what we've been putting out we are trying to do daily sorry we haven't posted a lot recently we've been working on this app of the journey
Speaker A
can put whatever videos they want to put on there, and they can direct it how they want to. They just, they, we have total control of their own channels, so the kids love that. I, and one of the other
Speaker A
uploads and previous videos it is free to download the YouTube section is free the merch section all of that is free the only thing that it costs is the exclusive part and and we're doing that in a few different ways and a few
Speaker A
things you'll get on there is our calendar, and it's an exclusive calendar. We are going to be traveling a lot this year, so in the calendar, it will say where we're traveling to and kind of what we're doing. Um, and if we're coming
Speaker A
share that exclusive with you guys so we're super excited about that now we're gonna get on to questions so let's answer some of your questions live okay Brian Bennett how old is your oldest child and what is the app called so our oldest child is
Speaker A
to your city, please feel free to write us, and we would love to meet a lot of you. We would love to get to know a lot of you, so that'll be on there. And then when new videos go up on the app, you'll
Speaker A
we do want to do a lot of lives on it at least once a week but the kids are going to be constantly down low or uploading their videos to it but you will get push notifications on when they upload a
Speaker A
be able to go under the calendar and see all that. So hey, lots Thompson, I see you on there. You'll okay. Why we created an app, and this is one of the things, the big things we wanted to talk about. So in
Speaker A
support the LGBTQ community so we actually have answered this in some of our comments and some of our things we do absolutely support the community you and if any of our kids that ended up being a part of that community we would
Speaker A
YouTube, we love YouTube. We love everything about YouTube, but it has kind of been a little bit harder for family channels, and as you guys, some of you that follow crazy middles might have seen, over the summer, they got two
Speaker A
and support the community Rachel T do you have to pay to watch the kids videos yes those are under the exclusive section um Sofia Boreas isn't we're talking she is not talking yet she isn't speech therapy yeah she
Speaker A
strikes, and the two strikes that they got was actually from a year and a half ago. Like the video was a year and a half old, and YouTube changed some of their terms and conditions. It was for a
Speaker A
you should be yeah and like everyone song you think we hear a certain word but then we don't hear it for a long time after that so it's kind of it's kind of a difficult thing and we're not sure you know we're
Speaker A
duct-tape challenge, and, um, and unfortunately, they got two strikes. If they would have gotten one more strike, their channel would have been shut down, and we really wouldn't have a choice in that situation. And Yvonne SEOs Aurora
Speaker A
speaking and saying a ton of things and just and the whole time she knows she just didn't wanna talk I think one day it's gonna be like that but so have you Gabrielle Garcia asks have you guys got
Speaker A
to speak, we will answer that in just a minute. Um, so with that, they could have gotten shut down. There's been a lot of times where I'm filming a vlog, and we're going through things, and the kids start
Speaker A
waiting to hear back from them we had to email a couple different people and a couple so we're just waiting to hear back if they don't end up sponsoring us we're still actually gonna do it because we do want to know some of our kids
Speaker A
fighting in the background. They're not always perfect, but unfortunately, because of strikes on YouTube and because of the regulations, obviously, I'm a parent first and foremost, so I do turn around and handle the situation, but I've had to
Speaker A
can see me upon how old is Halle I am 14 gonna be 15 in March all right what's another and Emily what's your opinion about environment about the situation climate change in all of that you know what we I know everyone can do their
Speaker A
delete a lot of our footage because of that because they don't want to get strikes on YouTube, and I haven't been able to show how I parent or how I handle situations like that. And so I'm super excited on the app. I'm going to be
Speaker A
videos of how many plastic bags we got at Walmart we do get a lot of class we are in the process of working on getting reusable bags so that we don't longer pollute the environment or put into the environment because that's
Speaker A
able to show all of that. I'm going to be able to show how a parent, what I do, and there's no strikes. And the other thing too, sorry, I don't know what to say about that, but we're trying to make it as fast
Speaker A
twice we've been up us kids have except for you yeah and I went in but me I've only gone to Chicago and Ohio those are double only two out of states that I've been to but I want to go to like Hawaii
Speaker A
as possible so we can move on to your questions. But a lot of the kids have, oh, you just thank you. Happened in school, and then you're like, if I had somewhere a little more private, a little more
Speaker A
goals as a family as we love going on family vacations and we are going to VidCon this year so we're super excited not to hopefully a good review later I don't think we're doing a booth they're sponsoring I don't know yet we'll see ha
Speaker A
exclusive to put this, I would love to talk about it. I would love to talk about what happened, and because YouTube, we don't know exactly who watches, or it's kind of more public, and the kids haven't wanted to put stuff out there that they
Speaker A
children and adopting my own children um surrogacy was one of the best experiences I've had and showing or giving somebody you know a baby that they're not able to have on their own and just helping them create a family
Speaker A
normally would love to share with all of you. So all of that will be all mixed so that we can put anything, anything, anything goes on this. So we've gotten the question a couple of times, are we still going to be doing YouTube? But the
Speaker A
the situation I would do another surrogacy so mom guess who's on are you Emily H are you a part of ladder these things we are we our Mormon I guess they call Latter day Saints now and yes which is amazing and
Speaker A
answer is completely yes. We are not planning to change anything in regards to what we've been putting out. We are trying to do daily. Sorry we haven't posted a lot recently. We've been working on this app of the journey,
Speaker A
to the park and we just did a bunch of like active sports there and when I came home it was like so we have he is supposed to do physical therapy until February or March and then we're gonna
Speaker A
but we are still going to be doing YouTube. And the best part about the app is there is a YouTube section in the app, so you can go there to see the crazy middles or the crazy pieces recent
Speaker A
it is not we were trying to have it up today it is not quite ready we shall be and I are very picky on the merch and I didn't want just t-shirts with logos and we actually designed all of the designs
Speaker A
uploads and previous videos. It is free to download. The YouTube section is free. The merch section, all of that is free. The only thing that it costs is the exclusive part, and we're doing that in a few different ways and a few
Speaker A
should be up very soon we favorite animals um favorite animal I love dogs I love Pomeranians and it's specific I wouldn't if I found a Pomeranian that I really love to look your favorite animal mine is my favorite animal animal is a
Speaker A
different things is because we want to kind of, what's the right word for, we want to make it exclusive, and we want to have just this little bit of a smaller circle where the kids feel comfortable to share those things and
Speaker A
ship merch internationally the answer is yes we do our website is set up to calculate the cost of shipping to your location it is international we have done our best to find the best rates possible yeah yeah on in sometimes we
Speaker A
share that exclusive with you guys. So we're super excited about that. Now we're going to get on to questions, so let's answer some of your questions live. Okay, Brian Bennett, how old is your oldest child, and what is the app called? So our oldest child is
Speaker A
Nick LLC where's everyone else so they are just out about in the house they're not playing around in the office so next time we do it we'll do it in the living room better lighting obviously you know better the more room I should say not
Speaker A
Jamie, and she is 25. And then the app is called Keep It Crazy. Well, Daniel Mater, what is the app video schedule? So there really isn't a video schedule. We're leaving it up to the kids on what they want to download.
Speaker A
ain't family I do love that I don't agree to some of the things they do talk to them I think they're amazing people so I'm all that's another one oh is that just heart well no there is a
Speaker A
We do want to do a lot of lives on it at least once a week, but the kids are going to be constantly downloading or uploading their videos to it. But you will get push notifications on when they upload a
Speaker A
teenagers were harder and that teenagers would act out and they could be more violent or different things with it um however my experience going through foster care the teenagers were so much easier and they could communicate they could tell
Speaker A
video. Um, Meghan, what time is it where you are? I searched. It is 3:16 p.m. on Sunday. Yes, your honor. I think so much. It stroller. So trying to get it through the questions. Don't you? What was Milly? Hope do you
Speaker A
because they couldn't communicate that didn't know what was going on and not only that but you didn't understand her sticking selfies over here but you didn't understand what they were necessarily going through or what their schedule was or did the get nap times
Speaker A
support the LGBTQ community? So we actually have answered this in some of our comments and some of our things. We do absolutely support the community. You and if any of our kids tha
Speaker A
you consider doing a video about LDS and what it means to you very interested from the UK we can look into that actually I would love to do a video on that because they think there are a lot
Speaker A
of misconceptions with the LDS community um and I think that there's a lot of judgmental people and I would say that even in the in the LDS community that have taken doctrine or have taken different things to kind of an extreme
Speaker A
and I'm really big on not judging other and just kind of loving everybody so so DT asks you guys watch the Fosters from three four I did you actually I love the Fosters that I know that there's a
Speaker A
spin-off and I haven't quite got time to watch it but I want and planning or watching it I felt like I could really relate to the Fosters to a certain degree I think sometimes it got a little exaggerated in some situations but I
Speaker A
definitely felt like we could relate to them so oh our chat is not going down let me well I was moving it around that's it I was trying to save questions Cassie McCoy does Hallie have an Instagram she does not have an Instagram
