Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yes, and you have like a blog on YouTube and
we're trying to get her to one thousand followers. Do
you know that she doesn't get paid for YouTube videos
unless they have a thousand subscribers.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
And yeah, there's technical things.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
We're how far away?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Very close. We're about a little over one hundred subscribers away.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Okay, so you are nine hundred. Yes, we need a thousand. Yes,
we can do this.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Say, right, thank you look at that.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, yeah, Adventures in Weberland. And we'll try to get
you to I think you're at eight eighty right now.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, it's something like that. There's technical things that need
to happen before YouTube actually pays you and there's a
certain amount of watch hours you need on each video
in a whole year and two years and all of
that which we have. We have the watch time. We
just need the subscribers.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
And Kristen has two kids and a family. She needs
the money. Well, so please subscribe. Wow, support the family.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Not that much money.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
YouTube doesn't pay that much right now. You're getting zero.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Though, ye feed the family.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Let me tell you something though. YouTube is making money
off of my videos because they're slabbing on commercials and
they're getting paid for it because people are watching our
videos so much. They're like, oh, this is showing up
in people's algorithm. We'll get the money.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
