DVD/TV Screenings: "Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas" (2017)

Hey guys, Whatsoever Critic here, and I review just about anything.

Today, we're doing a DVD/TV Screenings of the recent Sesame Street Christmas special: Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas.
I say DVD/TV because we actually caught this on PBS. You know, we get notifications from the show's Twitter, and we were told that the special would premiere on PBS. Though, when we did a Google search on the special, we found out that the special was already on DVD.
So LarryBoy Fanatic and I talked about it, and we decided to catch it on TV, on its premiere November 22, which we later found out that the special would air on Thanksgiving, and the day after. So, this was our initial reaction to Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas.

Title Card:
LBF: Oooh, so festive!

(opening song)
LBF: Did you see Bert's hat?
WC: Yeah, why?
LBF: It's so pointy, and it looks so funny. I NEED to get me one of those!

(The Count tells us that there are "3 happy children," while walking by with a bunch of gifts)
WC: Heh, hi Count.

(Elmo's dad tells Elmo a bedtime story of how Sesame Street was different from today)
WC: Yeah, Sesame Street looked different, because of the CG magic, wiping away the present set with an old-timey one.
LBF: And why does the dad have these pauses and stuttering as he's telling the story?
WC: So that they can pad this out to an hour long...?

(People are rude to Grover)
WC: So that's why Sesame Street was bad a long time ago? Because people were being just rude idiots?
LBF: Sounds like today's world, instead of the past.
WC: Well, their clothes are authentic, but still... they take liberties.

(Elmo interrupts the story; and the show itself makes this obvious by having everyone turn to the camera)
LBF: Oh, God. Elmo just turned into the YouTube comments section!

(Elmo meets "Smudge")
WC: I could've sworn they did a slow-mo when they first showed this girl.

(Elmo meets Bella)
LBF: I'm guessing that the point is to put Christmas back in Sesame Street? That's why there's that talking clock, or whatever Holly is?

(Grover sings a song with a guitar)
WC: Wow. Nice segway into a song.

(The characters discussing how to get Christmas back)
LBF: So they're trying to get Christmas back?
WC: Yeah, I guess.
LBF: But why did it leave in the first place?
WC: Meanwhile, the "Smudge" girl is like: How the hell am I any part of this?
LBF: Yeah, it's like she meets Elmo, and then Elmo becomes a friend-magnet. It's funny how that works.
WC: But hang on. This is a Christmas special; we don't want to ruin this atmosphere.

(Elmo interrupts the story again...)
LBF: Wow. This is still a thing...
WC: Yeah, imagine if all movies did that... Like someone would constantly come on and question what's going on in the plot.
LBF: Like, with something like any of the LarryBoy videos...
WC: Or the movies that Hollywood craps out nowadays... No. (mimicks Elmo's dad) Just let me tell the damn story, son!

(The characters go to a door and sing Christmas carols)
WC: That would be funny if they slammed the door in their faces...
LBF: Dude...
WC: What... That would be the funniest thing yet!

(Audra McDonald sings with the characters)
LBF: Wait, is that that opera singer from that Beauty and the Beast remake?
WC: Wow. She's in this special? I didn't know that.

(The cop gets after "Smudge")
LBF: Did she just call that cop her dad?
WC: Now we know where she gets her bad attitude from!
LBF: Yeah, but why are they like this? Why are they not happy all the time?

(Oscar the Grouch brags about crankiness to his cohorts)
WC: He's not even the bad guy in this, and yet this thing treats him like he is.
LBF: Why did they give him this scene?
WC: Probably to emphasize--
LBF: Hang out. (pause) Just making sure no one's in the hallway, listening to Oscar talk. Man, imagine if someone walked in and heard any of this.
WC: I guess you're right about why this scene even exists... Oh, Elmo, show us the way to Christmas!

(The girl reconciles with Elmo)
LBF: So the girl's name, this whole time, was Becky?
WC: Is she now? GOOD TO KNOW! Not.

(Song about passing on kindness)
LBF: This feels like the "Pass it On" video that went viral years ago.
WC: You mean that "Life Vest" video, where they would sing "One Day" over and over, while showing people doing random kind stuff to people?
LBF: Yeah. That one.

(The cop returns the Christmas tree)
LBF: Well, the cop is happy. I guess...
WC: They forgot to show the arc of change.

(Big Bird says "Look! Up in the sky!")
LBF: It's Superman!!!
(both WC and LBF laugh)

(All 5 lights on Holly light up; and the Count announces the number with his signature laugh)
LBF: Aaaagh!
WC: Uh, hi...
LBF: Well, wait a minute! He was in the present, and now he's in the past?
WC: I guess he is a gazillon years old, as they say in his bio.

(Santa realizes that he forgotten Sesame Street)
LBF: (mimicking the elf) Why do we have to go back? They thought you were Superman!

(Cookie Monster gives Santa cookies)
LBF: So Cookie Monster is the reason why people leave cookies out for Santa?
WC: Uh... (pause)

(End credits)
WC: Look at that. Matt Vogel directed this special.
LBF: Hang on. I figured it out! The Count appeared only a couple of times in this special, because he was behind this thing the whole time!
(both WC and LBF laugh)

Discussion:
WC: Compared to their latest Halloween special with the characters visiting the Count's castle...
LBF: You mean the CG castle?
WC: Yeah, that castle... At least this special put more effort into the sets.
LBF: Well, they got away with using green-screen background, but you're right. More effort was put into this.

WC: Now, as far as story, it's hard to nitpick this one.
LBF: Well, I had a couple of questions.
WC: Okay.
LBF: Why were the father and daughter cranky? In fact, why was Sesame Street cranky to begin with?
WC: Oh, right. They never really mention that... But to be fair, how they got that way... That could've been a lot of reasons. Like they forgot how to be nice to people, or they were going through some kind of depression, like the Great Depression. The take-away here is that we need to be kinder to people, especially around the holidays.
LBF: Well, not just the holidays.
WC: Right.

LBF: You know what I think, Whatsoever Critic?
WC: Yeah?
LBF: We can do reviews on the videos that we've done so far on "DVD Screenings."
WC: That would be great, LarryBoy Fanatic. But first things first: production. You got to get your League of Incredible Vegetables review out.
LBF: I know.
WC: But sure. We'll do something Sesame Street-related eventually.

WC: So finally, would you recommend this special?
LBF: I don't see why not. In fact, I would put this on my go-to movies to watch around the holidays. It's harmless.
WC: I think so too. This special has all the whim-whar, and could get silly every once in a while, but hey. It's Sesame Street.

DVD SCREENINGS: "Trick or Treat on Sesame Street" (2017)

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic, and I review just about anything.

As LarryBoy Fanatic teased in her video on Season 2 of VeggieTales in the City, we'll be viewing Sesame Street's newest DVD special: Trick or Treat on Sesame Street.
We never thought that we would see this less than a couple of months from Halloween, but the release date WAS August 29, 2017. What we did was bought this on the release date, and we planned on viewing this DVD a week ago, but with mail service taking long because of Hurricane Harvey, the DVD had finally showed up at our doorstep this past weekend.

And plus, we've being busy studying for exams... anyway...

So here we are, viewing this early Halloween special, courtesy of Sesame Street.

(DVD menu)
WC: Not much to say here.
LBF: Well, not much to say OR see here. Just like with Count on Elmo, the main menu to this thing is the same as the cover.

(Start of DVD)
LBF: Okay... Did we just enter a YouTube video?
WC: Uh, no. This is the DVD.
LBF: Wow. What a good way to start this, folks.
WC: Do you mean that with sarcasm?
LBF: (nodding)

(Title card)
LBF: Heeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre we go.
WC: CG animation, as advertised. The trailer did NOT lie to us about that.

(The Count's introduction)
WC: (mimicking the Count) "I greet you in my CG castle!"
LBF: (laughing)

(The Count, Elmo, and Abby count Halloween decorations)
WC: See those 7 ghosts?
LBF: Yeah?
WC: That's the number of people who said yes to this DVD.
LBF: That's probably only 1% of the workforce.
WC: And what about the black cats on the doorway?
LBF: Oh geez! 6 days of bad luck after watching this!
WC: I HOPE NOT!
LBF: (laughing)

(Halloween segment on Sesame Street)
LBF: This is pretty neat. We get a song.
WC: Well, it goes well with this Halloween DVD.
WC: I'm gonna take a wild guess that Big Bird is barely in this.
LBF: I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. He was barely in Count on Elmo.

(Elmo shows off his Galaxy Stan costume)
LBF: Man, where's LarryBoy when you need him?
WC: What do you mean?
LBF: I mean, if I was in this Halloween special, I would've dressed up as LarryBoy. Man, I could make a better-looking costume.
WC: I don't know. Then again, you're right. This segment needs some kind of action. This feels like filler.

(In the Count's library)
LBF: Dude! The house tour continues! Dang!
WC: I gotta say that the Count has such a good-looking library... but then again, it's CG background. So that's a letdown.
LBF: I'm just waiting for something to happen...
WC: Well, I'm just waiting for Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame to say "Send this vermin to the counting room!"
LBF: That's probably what they did to the counting organ. Remember that?
WC: Oh yeah. That segment was great.

(Counting pumpkins)
LBF: I'm gonna guess that the third pumpkin on the right is not like these other ones.
WC: Yes.

(The talking pumpkin makes off with Elmo's hat)
LBF: Are you kidding me?!
WC: Man...
LBF: They're ripping off Barney Live in New York City!
WC: I know--wait. What?!
LBF: Well, that was the first thing that popped into my head when seeing this!

(Abby: "Did anyone see a pumpkin?")
LBF: Just like in the trailer.
WC: Like this is their trailer phrase and pose.
LBF: That's a given.

(The Count just stands there, while our main characters chase the pumpkin)
WC: You know, you could help them, Count. We're in your house!

(The bats make Elmo and Abby play their pattern game)
LBF: You know that meme with the woman that says "Ain't nobody got time for that"?
WC: Yeah.
LBF: They need that.
WC: Or just tear down the tapestry and there you go.
LBF: But still, I would insert that meme in here.

(Elmo and Abby finally catch the pumpkin, and the pumpkin is sorry because he didn't have a costume)
LBF: This is EXACTLY like in Barney Live in New York City. A weird character comes around and takes something, and the heroes have to chase him the majority of the video. Same plot, same conclusion of not being hard on the weird character.
(Abby gives the pumpkin a costume)
WC: I would've turned him into pumpkin pie.

(Dress Up Segment)
WC: This is just more filler to pad this out into a legitimate direct-to-DVD special.
LBF: But in this segment, you can tell that the people in this production had fun with this. You can tell that by the puppetry.
WC: Point taken.

(Number Stomp song)
LBF: Wow.
WC: This is just the Number Stomp song, Halloween edition.
WC: Yeah, 13 as in Friday the 13th.
LBF: Also, they had to make the floor CG as well.
WC: Yeah, so it just looks awkward. Like when showing their feet.
LBF: It looks awkward.
WC: He's wearing these old-timey shoes in front of the CG floor, which makes this more awkward.

(The "Batty Bat" Song)
WC: Really? They reused footage of the original "Batty Bat" song with Jerry Nelson?
LBF: I don't know. It looks like it.
WC: Some of this, I can go to YouTube and watch, like the opening song.
LBF: Yeah, just to pad this out to an hour or so.
WC: I actually thought that Matt Vogel would do a rendition of this song, but no, they have this rehash of the original. I mean, don't get me wrong. I heard Matt Vogel sing this song a couple of times in the live Sesame Street performances at Sesame Place; and he does a really good job as the rendition. That would've at least been something new that this DVD could offer.

(Ending scene)
LBF: Yeah, dress up as bats.
WC: The sad part about this is that the trailer made us believe that they would wear these costumes.
LBF: But only for the last scene, which I think THIS is, I assume.

(The characters talk about how much fun they had)
LBF: (mimicking the characters) Wow! This was fun!
WC: No, it wasn't.
LBF: I wouldn't call this 100% fun.
WC: Right, if your DVD was more fun, y'all would've had the Count more involved in this. He was like in 10% of this whole thing. That's not good.
LBF: Yeah, it's his castle, so this special should've been his!
WC: He's just a babysitter.

(End credits)
LBF: Wow, that was it.
WC: Yep.
WC: Only one person was in charge of the CG animation of the Count's castle.
LBF: Wow. I hope they paid that person well.

Discussion:
LBF: We gave up 10, 11 bucks for this?
WC: Yep. And we had to wait over a week for it; we were supposed to get two-day shipping on it, but it was late.
LBF: Like it was trying to warn us about the actual quality of this DVD.
WC: Actually, the trailer on Sesame Street's YouTube channel was our first warning.
LBF: Speaking of the trailer, you could tell that the number of down-votes came pretty close to catching up to the up-votes. It's like some people want to forgive Sesame Street of the quality, but the fanbase is like: No, but look at it!
WC: One person in the comments talked about the CG backgrounds, and I gotta agree with them.
LBF: Look at it this way, this whole thing seemed rushed out: from the trailer to the actual DVD, you can tell that they rushed this out, because Halloween is when? In October? This came out in late August, which is two months prior to Halloween.
WC: After all these years of having a liking for the Count, I was hoping that they would do something great for him, besides what they TRIED TO DO with Count on Elmo, or the Count Tribute. But you're right; this was rushed out. Why? Because of Halloween coming, or they wanted to just produce another DVD.
LBF: But I'll give it this: at least they tried, even though some of this felt like a carbon-copy of Barney Live in New York City.
WC: You know what they should do?
LBF: What?
WC: They need to give the Count some kind of spin-off show?
LBF: Hmm...
WC: I mean, look at it this way: he teaches numbers, he teaches math... AND he's a vampire. That's a good concept for a spin-off show: kids can learn math and other stuff, still following the curriculum of what the Sesame Street creators wanted to do in the first place. This could work.
LBF: That would be cool. But... since he's a vampire, maybe he's a seasonal character, if he gets his own show. Or maybe... maybe have the show on Netflix or somewhere like VeggieTales in the House and City.
WC: So... going back to this DVD. Verdict?
LBF: I don't know what to make of it.
WC: Me neither.

DVD Screenings: "Sesame Street: Count on Elmo"

Hey guys! Whatsoever Critic here.

LarryBoy Fanatic and I have been working on a bunch of projects lately; and we decided to add a new segment called "DVD Screenings," which is a segment where we sit and watch a DVD, while taking notes on it; and then we have a discussion at the end of the viewing. Think of this as a cross between Nostalgia Critic's "First Viewing" videos and The Cinema Snob's "Midnight Screenings" videos. We've always wanted to do something like this; we'll especially do this with the LarryBoy episodes of Veggietales in the House and Veggietales in the City in the future.
"DVD Screenings" will be featured on the Whatsoever Critic blog, and LarryBoy Fanatic will notify everyone in future videos when the next "DVD Screenings" will be on site. However, after I put up a "DVD Screenings" segment, we'll turn the DVD viewing into either a LarryBoy Fanatic video or a Whatsoever Critic video, depending on the movie.
Today, we viewed the Sesame Street DVD Count on Elmo, which people may know as "the Count Tribute" to Jerry Nelson who passed away back in 2012. The DVD in question came out in 2015. However, the difference between the DVD and what actually aired on PBS is that supposedly, the DVD has a plot, which is supposed to explain how Count von Count was chosen to get a prestigious award.
Mind you, all this was new to LarryBoy Fanatic. She never really got into liking the Count from Sesame Street until she got into it this past February for reasons unknown. (Well, to be fair, she DID SAY in the LarryBoy and the Bad Apple review that she liked other things besides LarryBoy.)
So this was how our night went down. We'll jot down some notes and our reactions to some of the scenes, and then we'll have our discussion:

(looking at DVD menu)
LarryBoy Fanatic: Really? That's their main menu?
Whatsoever Critic: It's the same as the box cover. Look! Same pose. Same background.

(title card)
LBF and WC: Wow.
WC: I'd say that the font here is more marketable than what was on the box. You managed to put more effort here than y'all did on the box.

(seeing the characters for the first time)
LBF: Establishing characters.

(Grover talks about the email about a counting contest)
WC: Is this email legitimate?
LBF: And why would Grover of all people get this email?

(the Count von Count montage)
LBF: That's cool. A little montage.

(cape transition back to the story)
LBF and WC: Whoa!
LBF: Awkward transition!

(the characters planning to submit a video to the contest)
WC: So obviously, they want to enter the Count into the counting contest, BUT what still bugs me is we don't know who sent that email, and we don't know if it's legit or not.
LBF: Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

(Number skits)
LBF: Okay.
WC: What is it?
LBF: I want to get back to the story. I just want to see if the Count gets into the contest. That's my main concern. I mean, any kid would be like "Yeah, sure. Thanks for showing us a number. Where's Elmo? Where's Count? Can we get back to THEM now?"

(the Count counting chickens)
WC: Heh heh. Hi, Matt Vogel.
LBF: Why do you say that?
WC: 'Cuz that's Matt Vogel playing the Count.
LBF: Oh.
WC: Do you notice the difference?
LBF: Now that you pointed that out, yeah.

WC: Yeah, you got that right, box cover. He does count chickens.
LBF: What? Where does it say that?
WC: Here's the box.

(LBF looks at box cover)
LBF: Well, this box doesn't do this DVD justice. There are no screenshots other than to just point out specifics, but even those don't have much significance.
WC: You're right. I can't even fathom. Whoever designed the box cover... this was Prototype 1. How about a more detailed design? NO! Sell the DVD anyway. If I was in that meeting where we got to choose the design for the box cover, I would've demanded more effort put into it.
LBF: Yeah, like back-to-the-drawing-board.

(the creepy fish segment of the number 8)
LBF: I have no words.
WC: Why was this a thing?
LBF: For the number 8, y'all should've played the clip of Count von Count singing about the number 8. I mean, sure, two seconds of it was in the clip show at the beginning of this thing, but at least it's WAY BETTER than what we're seeing here! I mean, come on!

LBF: So far the plot is simple. Try to get someone into a contest without them knowing.
WC: But when are they gonna succeed? So far, it's just hijinks.

(counting flying socks)
LBF: Wow.
WC: I don't know if the contest will allow special effects in the video.
LBF: I don't know. What were the guidelines to the contest again?
WC: Well, they have until the end of the day to submit their entry...
LBF: And?
WC: And that's pretty much it.
LBF: But what about the things that would disqualify them?

(the characters realize that the phone was recording)
WC: Well, it doesn't really matter. They finally got their video.

(the Count announces that he's leaving)
LBF: Why does he have to go?!
WC: A counting emergency.
LBF: Yeah, but screw it! You won an award! That's more important than counting pizzas out of town.
WC: Okay. If someone was dying and you needed to go see them, then THAT'S an emergency. But you're right. Counting pizzas can definitely wait.
LBF: By the way, did you see his bag with the bat prints? That's awesome! I need to get one of those!

(Prize committee insists on seeing the Count)
WC: I would punch these prize committee people in the face for being such snobs.
LBF: Don't get me wrong. They have to give the prize to the right person, but even with awards such as the Oscars, the Grammys, the Emmys... sometimes people are allowed to accept other people's awards on their behalf, if they're presenting it!
WC: They should leave the award with the community. Let Sesame Street accept the award.
LBF: There are so many ways around this! This is actual screenwriting that we're listening to!
WC: What's keeping the Count from getting his butt over here?
LBF: His plane got delayed.
WC: Oh. That old story. WHY?!
LBF: That's it. That's what it is. They're trying to pad this out. How long is this thing?
(WC looks at box cover)
WC: I'm trying to calculate all this, because this box says 2 hours. But we put this on 40 minutes ago. So I'm thinking this is supposed to be 50 minutes long, not including the bonus features.

(Prize committee points out that Elmo isn't the Count, because he didn't do the signature laugh WITH the thunder and lightning)
WC: SCREW... Y'ALL!!!
LBF: Unbelievable!
WC: Y'all have never met the Count. Y'all never spoke to him. Y'all only have the video that was submitted into the contest. Talk about trendies! These are the worst ones!
LBF: Yeah, and how would they know about the thunder and lightning that comes after the Count laughs? Anyone could've easily pointed out that that was pure coincidence. Just be like "What thunder and lightning? That happened out of nowhere. I don't know what you're talking about." It's like AGAIN... there are so many ways around this!

(The Count appears, coming from above)
LBF: Too late. Show's over.
(both girls laugh)
WC: Wow. That was amazing.
LBF: You know, I can think of some jokes to go along with what we just saw.
WC: Really?
LBF: (giggling) Yeah.

(the "Count on Elmo" song)
LBF: I feel like something's still missing here.
WC: What's that?
LBF: I'll tell you when this is over.

(End credits- The Number Stomp song)
WC: And that's the end of it.
LBF: Come on! I don't wanna see the credits. I wanna see them dance!

DISCUSSION
WC: This still would've been a tribute to Jerry Nelson, but this DVD felt like it wanted to separate itself from that.
LBF: Yeah, and to see this DVD do that, it's unreal. And that's what I wanted to bring up.
WC: Yeah, sure. Go ahead.
LBF: The part that WASN'T in the DVD was when the Count sent the text that he didn't care about the award, that he only cared about his friends. That's what this DVD left out, but it was in the PBS version, because they were remembering Jerry Nelson.
WC: That's sad.
LBF: Yeah, and that would've helped show how great a person the Count is. Because he's humble, and he's a really good friend.
WC: But instead of showing that part, you're pretty much saying that all of this--what Elmo and his friends did for the Count--was in vain. Because all of this felt like a scam. The prize committee were shady. They didn't give them the award. And all they got from Sesame Street was a video of the Count. For all we know, this was a scheme to try and exploit the Count. All they wanted to see was if whether or not vampires were real!
LBF: Wow. Are you a conspiracy theorist all of a sudden?
WC: No, but it's just a theory. I'm upset that they didn't give the Count the recognition that he deserved. The whole contest was bogus.
LBF: I'm wondering who else entered the contest.
WC: There was a Chinese calculator from Belgium.
LBF: Yeah, but does that even qualify as a contestant?
WC: Well, like I said, the guidelines showed us a deadline, which was at the end of the day.
LBF: Nothing about who or WHAT was eligible?
WC: Nope. The guidelines just suck.
LBF: For what this was, I can't be too mad at this special, because it tried to do something for the Count, even though he was in so little of this, and the story was meh.
WC: I can't tell you how mad I was at some of this, especially since this was supposed to be a tribute to one of the greatest puppeteers that ever lived. I grew up with Sesame Street. I grew up with Jerry Nelson playing the Count. And to see them do a PBS special on him and his character, and then release a DVD a few years later... and NOT really make that distinction...
LBF: Well, say what you want about this DVD, but can we both agree to not put this in a box?
WC: What do you mean?
LBF: Like not say that it's good, and not say that it's bad.
WC: You mean like it's on the fence?
LBF: Yeah.
WC: I guess.

Final note:
That was how it went down. I wasn't too crazy about it, but LarryBoy Fanatic is sympathetic towards it, and that's fine. We may do a crossover review on this DVD. Soon, but NOT near Halloween time unfortunately, because LarryBoy Fanatic is still trying to finish her review on The League of Incredible Vegetables, even though that's been pushed back for over a year now, and she just wants to get it done.
So next time, we'll do a "DVD Screening" of Sesame Street: Trick or Treat on Sesame Street. We're so excited to view that DVD, because it just came out. A week ago, we saw the trailer to it on YouTube, and... we had mixed reviews. Because CGI backgrounds and being in front of a green screen... I don't know. Don't let first impressions get to you. Maybe something good will come out of this. So, we'll be doing a "DVD Screening" of that, and also on Elmo Says Boo!, because LarryBoy Fanatic was interested in that one too.

This was Whatsoever Critic, and I review just about anything.

Top 10 Facts about Greta von Gruesome- LarryBoy Fanatic

---EPISODE 38---
Today we explore the character of Greta von Gruesome from the LarryBoy Cartoon Adventure series. Seeing that the Rumor Weed won the Twitter Poll: LarryBoy Villain, I'd thought I do a video on whoever got the LEAST votes, which was Greta. But don't worry. Awful Alvin will most likely get the next video. STAY TUNED!!!

I apologize for the size of the screen. I couldn't embed the video via Youtube, because some parts of Youtube weren't cooperating. When that gets fixed, I'll try to embed the video properly again soon.

LarryBoy Fanatic CHANNEL UPDATE- Re-numbering Episodes

Hey guys! This is Whatsoever Critic.

We recently went through some of our videos, and I had to delete some videos. But don't worry: the deleted videos weren't reviews or anything, just stuff that didn't get a lot of views like the LarryBoy Fanatic at the Movies series that we tried to do. 

So LarryBoy Fanatic had the fun task of re-numbering the episodes of her web series. However, she didn't want to do the same here on the blog, because she's busy with making more videos. So, I'll number the episodes here on this blog post, so that there's no confusion. Plus, we'll probably mention it in the next video (maybe):
