00:00Hey guys, it's Shannon. And Paul.
00:04Oh, are we supposed to do it like we're opening for PS Toy Reviews?
00:08I'm just kind of thinking that, yeah.
00:10Today we're opening up a giant Squishmallow. Not really.
00:13Not really. He's already opening.
00:15Hey guys, it's Shannon. And Paul.
00:17I'm not quite there yet with all my energy. So did you want to go ahead then?
00:20Yeah, I'm going to go ahead. I'll do most of the talking for this video because Shannon is still recovering.
00:25Just so you guys know, this video is for both channels, PS Toy Reviews and Paul and Shannon's Collector Corner.
00:31This video will be the exact same on both channels.
00:34So if you've seen it on one channel, you don't need to watch it on the other.
00:36Unless you want to.
00:38This is actually like a face reveal for us on Paul and Shannon's Collector Corner.
00:42Is it really?
00:43Yeah.
00:43Oh no. That's not a very good face reveal. I didn't fix that.
00:47Yeah, so neither of us have fixed up for the day.
00:50This is coming out of a month of illness.
00:54Yeah. Also, one other announcement. If you got an ad on this video, we did not place it there.
00:59No, we didn't. We put this as non-monetized, but YouTube has the right to monetize it if they choose
01:07to.
01:07To add stuff. So anyway.
01:08They keep all the money.
01:09Yeah. So we just wanted to do this video real quick as an announcement. Jack may hop up in the
01:15frame here in just a second.
01:16Well, you probably see lots of Jack on me because the cats have been taking good care of me.
01:20Yeah. So yeah. So like Shannon said, for the past month, we have been sick. Luckily, we did not get
01:26sick at the same time.
01:28Thankfully.
01:28In fact, it's kind of funny. I ended up getting COVID. I had a moderate to a slightly severe case
01:36of it. Shannon and Drew took very good care of me. It lasted for basically almost exactly two weeks.
01:45On the day that I got a little bit better, and we'll talk about that in just a second.
01:50Shannon went down.
01:51Shannon went down. So when I say I got better, I actually was able to film again.
01:57Now, while I was sick, Shannon was able to film and put up videos on both channels, which you saw
02:02that didn't have me in them.
02:06It was a Friday morning. I came downstairs. I filmed three or four videos with Shannon.
02:11Shannon went to her computer, looked at a couple of emails, and said, you know, I'm going to go upstairs
02:14and take a nap, which is highly unusual for Shannon.
02:17Yeah. I don't take naps.
02:17And this is kind of the first we've seen of Shannon out of the bedroom since then.
02:22I slept for about 12 days straight.
02:25Yeah. So it's funny. So this is exactly two weeks later for Shannon.
02:29Well, in three hours, it'll be exactly two weeks later.
02:33So I guess we did do a very good job starting the video, though.
02:36But we were starting the video to let you know why we have been gone.
02:39Yes.
02:40Off YouTube for the last little bit, and just to kind of update you on going forward.
02:45Sure.
02:46What's going to be going on. So we have been off YouTube, obviously, because we both got COVID.
02:50Yay. Wouldn't recommend it. Not for the faint of heart.
02:54Yes.
02:54Yeah.
02:56Avoid that at all costs.
02:57Yeah.
02:58No bueno.
02:59True.
03:00True that.
03:01So you may see a couple of videos over the next couple days that have both Shannon and I in
03:08them.
03:09Saying, Paul's back.
03:10Yay.
03:10Yeah, Paul's back and everything.
03:11Those videos were actually filmed the day that Shannon got sick.
03:15Yep.
03:15So she never put those up.
03:17That's another thing, just to kind of let you know what's been going on.
03:21So I think we've said it in the past, we kind of have a division of labor.
03:25I do a lot of the setup for videos and a lot of the front end of videos and planning.
03:31Shopping.
03:31Shopping.
03:32The acquiring of the goods.
03:34Yeah.
03:34Shannon does all the technical aspects of the channel.
03:37So she handles the editing and the uploading and everything else, you know, that gets the videos actually up on
03:44YouTube.
03:44And so you guys can view them.
03:45And I couldn't work.
03:46And Shannon was not able to do that.
03:48I don't know how to do that offhand.
03:51I've done it in the past very minimally.
03:54But Shannon was not in any condition for me to ask her to, for her to explain and walk me
03:59through it.
04:00So I could find out again.
04:02And honestly, I was still recovering from being sick as well.
04:06So just taking care of Shannon, you know, used up a lot of the day.
04:11I think so.
04:12So anyway, so going forward.
04:13It's surprising how much work it is to take care of somebody that sleeps all day.
04:17Yeah, it is.
04:18You have to keep waking them up and making sure they're drinking and eating something and taking medicine.
04:22Paul did a great job.
04:24Yeah.
04:24He's a wonderful character.
04:25Yeah.
04:25Shannon did a great job, too.
04:26So anyway.
04:28We're here.
04:28And we're mostly healthy.
04:29We're back.
04:29We're mostly healthy.
04:30We are planning on getting back into a filming routine.
04:33You should start seeing new content going up on both channels.
04:37You're going to see a little bit of old content.
04:38Hold on.
04:39Just from the videos from a couple weeks ago.
04:41Yeah.
04:41But new content will be going up on both channels soon.
04:46And just to let you know, if we do miss a day from our schedule, that's just mostly going
04:51to be due to not a lot of energy on both of our parts.
04:54So anyway, we want to end up closing by saying thank everybody for all the nice comments that
05:01we've gotten on both channels, the prayers, the thoughts, the wishes.
05:04A lot of you have contacted us in different ways to inquire about things.
05:10And just to let you know you've been thinking about us and praying for us.
05:13And we really do appreciate that.
05:14That means the world to us.
05:16We could not do what we do without you guys.
05:19And thank you again.
05:21And health.
05:22Yeah.
05:22And health.
05:23That's right.
05:24Health is important.
05:25It is important.
05:26So anyway, was there anything else, Shannon?
05:30Um, I don't think so.
05:31If you get sick, get yourself a big Squishmallow.
05:34Do you see this one?
05:34I just had to show up.
05:36I wasn't even into Squishmallows.
05:39And then I was at Dave and Buster's, this is like a couple months ago now, with one of
05:44my sons.
05:45And I won this giant thing from Dave and Buster's.
05:48It's wonderful.
05:49So get yourself a big old Squishmallow.
05:51They're oddly satisfying.
05:52Not sponsored by Squishmallow.
05:54Yeah.
05:54But it is oddly satisfying.
05:56Yep.
05:57All right.
05:57Well, thank you guys so much for watching.
05:59We hope everybody out there is doing well.
06:01And, um, and we'll see you guys soon in new videos.
