This one is hard to put in a genre. It is technically a documentary I think. But the more accurate category would be "Lifestyle Youtube content made in the 1980s." It is an anthropological slice of life and personality that is now easier to do in the modern era. RIP to FGS who was a pioneer even if he was a bit narcissistic.

So I'm at home right now hosting a German feast. I think I will put this on the TV later. It sounds fun :)

Oh yeah, I remember this one. Miss me a good family video. I bought a very faded Cubivore on Gamecube from there, sold it for $40 CIB now it's almost $700.

1 of the Family Videos in town was getting rid of their VHS section so me & Todd the human went to check it out. I think it was 10 or 12 movies for $1. I picked this 1 up on a whim & for a while it became a movie I’d show to people when they came over. Fred G Sullivan made a movie that nobody cared about. He wanted to make another movie, but that’s hard when you have other obligations & nobody cares about your art. So he made a movie about how hard it is to make a movie when you have other obligations & nobody cares about your art. This year is the 14th year that I’ve been working on The Travis Wayne Hurt Christmas Special. Almost everyone who comes through here today has contributed to this project at some point. I don’t wanna speak for everyone but I feel like a lot of us have the same compulsion that Fred G Sullivan had. We have to make something & due to circumstance these things will inevitably be about the people we are making our things with. And if the thing you’re working on isn’t working out you can always throw in a russian speaking bear as a deus ex machina. I still have the VHS I got at Family Video, but today we’re gonna watch the version I downloaded from FGS’s kid’s vimeo account.
