Little BONUS post: EPIC HOW TO

So, back in the day, I used to host/produce a little series called EPIC HOW TO. We covered a bunch of topics from HOW TO BE A HACKER to HOW TO FIGHT A SHARK... and WIN!

Anyways, I recently was gifted with the opportunity to do another episode...AND we got the original animator back... you may know him... ANDY MOGREN! 

Hopefully we can do more of these in the future. They're just fun. And ya learn a little something. Anyways, please give it a watch and I hope you enjoy!

EXCLUSIVE: Climate Change & Copernicus (VIDEO)

Honestly, most of my personality is built off various things I remember from some documentary I probably watched like six years ago. I'm a millennial. Deal with it. Some of my personality is remnants from books I've read, but let's be honest, books are just documentaries for people with too much time on their hands. And when it comes to time, ain't nobody got time for it, I always say.

And That's A Wow From Us, Dawg

Y'all, what the heck even? 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you guys for helping us make the Movie Movie Game Kickstarter a massive success immediately. It took literally eight minutes to reach our goal, and now we're in yet another beautifully Dazed and Confused moment that is a direct result of our incredible community. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The truth is, imho, ...

PRE-LAUNCH PAGE: Movie Movie Game Kickstarter Launches FRIDAY 11/13!!

Ah, this week is Friday the 13th. What a terrifying day to launch a Kickstarter for the smash hit game, Movie Movie Game! But why wait till Friday to start getting excited/terrified? That's, like, a really good point, Elliott. Thanks, Elliott. 

Pre-launch page has LAUNCHED! If you're on Kickstarter already, head on over to the pre-launch page below and click the green link to be notified when we officially go live on Friday (the THIRTEENTH)! The bees are dying, so ...

EXCLUSIVE: STEVE'S SOURCEFED AUDITION LIVESTREAM VOD

(let's make up for the podcast being late this week)

Hey Patrons! As you know, we teamed up with HEADCOUNT.ORG to help get people registered to vote and we met our SECOND GOAL!!!!  As promised, Steve released his SourceFed Audition on a livestream ANNNNNND Kevin showed some of his early work and I showcased a "lost/forgotten/privated" Barats and Bereta video. It really was a good time. 

We know not all of you could attend SO WE'RE POSTING IT EXCLUSIVELY RIGHT HERE RIGHT ...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Sex Cults, Bloodletting, & Other Funny Things

SURPRISE, Y'ALL!

Welcome to 2020, where the bar for high-budget documentary series has been raised to the point of no return. Can we ever go back to the time before Tiger King? No, and that's a new normal I can get behind. The Vow, from HBO, is about a cult BY stupid people, FOR stupid people, and I do not know how I'm not supposed to find it all very funny.

This video is the first in a series I'll be posting exc...

New Fundamentalists (if you're into that kinda thing)...

Hey, y'all! Hope you're having a great week! Gonna be recording a new Valleycast soon, but in the meantime, Peter Rollins and I are back with a new episode of The Fundamentalists. Finally! In this episode, we talk about sacrifice, and about what that means in today's world. It's a good (no-- GREAT) episode, especially since Pete and I haven't gotten to hang in a bit. I think you'll enjoy this episode (audio should be available on Spotify and iTunes shortly). 

Friendly reminder that...

Q and A Time: This Week’s Valleycast with Grace Helbig

Hey, guys! Elliott here. This week’s podcast is gonna be a bit different, since we got wrapped up filming other stuff. Spoiler: Joe’s killing it. But this week it’s gonna be just me and another YouTuber named “Grace.”

So for this Valleycast, drop ANY QUESTIONS YA GOT down below, for me, Grace, or even Joe and Steve and I’ll just answer for them rudely.

Want bad advice? Unproven life hacks? Baseless opinions? Let us know in the comments below! And also, let us know ho...

CATS THE RPG IS COMING!

Friends, patrons, Jellicle cats! I’ve been hinting at this for a while, and now it’s finally happening! Cats the RPG will premiere on The Valleyfolk channel starting Monday with the finale airing on Friday. So to be clear, FIVE EPISODES of the Cats RPG will be posted every day this week instead of Your Show, and the Friday sketch video. So you’ll get an entire week of this insane Dungeons and Dragons style Role Playing Game, featuring Valleyfolk pals and new faces! It’s going to be ve...

YOU GOT THIS! (and you got this week in review)

Hello. Hi. How are ya? Good day
Hope laughter and light have been coming your way
And you bask in small moments of joy and of play
'Cause YOU GOT THIS 

Sadness and anger and fear have their say
Listen and learn from their words, it's okay
We're all holding court with the black and the gray
But YOU GOT THIS

Everyone else seems so far and away
But together we stand in the now of today
Bound tighter and wiser after the fray
WE GOT THIS

WEEKLY RECAP BE BACK

Hey Patrons, I'm gonna attempt to do weekly recaps again. I post these on YouTube's community page in an attempt to usher our vids to those the Sub-box neglected and lied to, but I figure they contain enough information that perhaps they belong here to. Let me know if this is something you'd like me to continue here!  Thanks and here it is:

Hello friends. I hope, from the gooiest depths of my heart, that you and yours are finding health and safety and moments of laughter and light ...

STATE OF THE VALLEY ADDRESS

Hello, Citizens of the Valley!

Elliott here.

Boy, we picked a heck of a week to return full-force! After months of filming and preparation, we unleashed a torrent of content last week that was incredibly well-received. While our views are down, our hearts are full, and we literally owe it all to you, our patrons. So, on behalf of everyone here (figuratively, th...

NEW SKETCH! FEATURING ELYSE WILLEMS!

Oh man it's a weird one! I was HEAVILY influenced by one of my favorite sketch comedy groups STELLA, and if you know them you'll see the influence! I hope you all enjoy it and share it and give it lots of love in the comments! 

We want to make this kind of stuff regularly, but it takes lots of time and lots of work from Kevin and or Kait, so please be patient as we progress! And thank you for your continued support, without you we can't do this at all. <3

Hey everybody! NEW YEAR NEW EVERYTHING! We're hitting the ground running in 2020 and want to start doing these things again!

LOTS of fun stuff and changes coming up this year and we want you guys to be the first to know all about it!

The stream will start around 4pm(...

YOUR SHOW: It's ULTRA-MEGA PROMPT TIME

Folks, big changes are ahead. I can't say what some of them are, but ONE of them involves the wall behind us in the above picture, and some of the changes involve WAY MORE CONTENT IN 2020. 

ALSO! We have a tour coming up! Grab your tickets for San Fransisco, Denver, Salt Lake City, Tacoma, AND/OR Spokane right here:

Santa Steve Has Arrived!

Hello friends, it's your pal Steve here! Just wanted to share with you guys that the latest Santa Steve video is UP and ready for you viewing pleasure! Or displeasure! 

This one's a little different if you've watched it already, and I'm very proud of how it turned out. Kevin and I tag-teamed the edit, I cut the beginning and he cut the *SPOILERS* Santa on the Street stuff. It was rough for me trying to lock down an idea for this one, as it's like the 6th one I've done. I won't lie,...

UPDATE: YOUR SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT & TEEEEEEASE

Quick update for all of you that are yearning for some churnin' .... out of YOUR SHOWs. We were planning to go live today, but alas, our main man Mr. Plachy was infiltrated by a bit of a bug (give him love... send him gifs of old ladies dancing without any context that you know he's sick). As such, we're not rushing him or the product. And to further such the as suchiness of the situation, we're making the call to give sloppy birth to the episode tomorrow, so it's at it's 100% bestiness. HOWE...

The State of the Valley Address

Wow! WHAT A WEEK!

Hello, all, and I know we say this all the time but now it feels especially appropriate: thank you for being here! Thanks to those who’ve stuck with this Crazy Train as it veered almost completely off its tracks, and thanks to those who jumped off and then back on when you realized the conductors hadn’t actually lost their dang minds! “Vroom vroom, ...

Owning our mistakes

Thank you to those who are still with us, and nothing but love and understanding to those who are hurt by our screw-up.
