This was rather fun. I’d like to make a suggestion (and you can rest assured I have no idea what your camera setup is, etc.). I think if you were in a more… warm atmosphere I would feel like it was less contrived. I mean, it IS contrived because it seems like you plan it out beforehand to some extent, but maybe if there was a couch involved it might add to the overall vibe in a positive way? Just throwing that out there!

I enjoyed it none the less!!

Our next one will feel a bit less contrived, we promise ;)

I was hoping for MORE contrived.

You might be on to something there.

I offered the couch, but nooooo, “let’s sit under these interrogation lights and sweat our balls off”

The lighting by the couch was bad!

You are boys. I’m surprised you didn’t try to drown the spider by using your snyper-esque pee stream to pry him off the side of the bowl.

Just a thought…

That just seems wrong somehow… Insult to injury, and all that….

Given the spider’s resilience, I think Joel was safe to assume that it would only make him mad.

Thoroughly enjoyed this first episode. It’s a strange and wonderful thing, and I cracked up. A lot.

No more influenza talk, though. I’m neurotic enough as it is, without Ben’s random medical tmi. It won’t happen again…right? :(

We make no such guarantees!

I might just feature an unknown fatal illness each time.

WHO KNOWS?!

*Hmph* Thought I stopped that first comment from publishing, in which I misspelled “influenza”. I’d delete it, but it’s not an option.

Edited it for ya ;)

Can you please comment on every single video? My self-esteem just went through the roof.

You’re going to die during episode two.

DIE.

(in a good way.)

Thank you Sleeves!! :)

So… I watched episode 1 after I watched Episode 2 and will admit Iiked 2 better..which could be seen as a good thing..since it came later..anyway..

I’ve decided…. and this is slightly creepy/awkward…..but I promise I don’t mean it creepy and or awkward..but each of you remind me of someone in my “real life”..which may explain my newfound infatuation with your Vlogs…

anyways…..

Amy-you are adorable..keep it up…LOVE that you are a fellow Wine-o (no clue how you actually spell that)

Joel-you’re awesome…remind me of my best guy friend…

and Ben-you’re adorable…just sayin…..PS-what is it you are drinking?

Can’t wait for #3!!!

I like episode 2 better myself, so I certainly see it as a good thing :)

Thanks Drew!
