What the Heck is Happening?!
🕑 Added 2021-09-20 16:01:17 +0000 UTCAll right gang, some of you have started to noticed we've been missing in action. From the public side of things, releases kept coming but emails, DMs, and extras like the podcast have disappeared.
The short story is the contemporary plague finally wandered through the studio and dealt an uneven hand of damage to various members of the team. Most unfortunately, it smashed down mid-filming of the next set of episodes.
We're doing what we can to re-orient, however, it's likely we're going to miss at least one release and this has devastated the last months of attempting to fix the calendar. We're being constrained by a health recovery schedule now, which isn't very predictable.
We apologize for the delay and hope you can remain patient with this setback. We'll update everyone as soon as standard production has begun again.
Also be aware, our inboxes are overflowing and poorly monitored at the the moment. We appreciate any well wishes or criticisms but our response time is going to sadly be slow!
Thank you all,
Othais

Hey Othias and Mae, Every podcast I listen to only a few letters, and have burning questions and comments to send in but am not finding an address to do so. If you are guessing that I am not a tech savvy ‘Boomer’ you guessed correctly, but before you lambast me you have us to thank for the greatest classic rock the world has known and all that cool stuff from the 70s and 80s! 🦊

Have you not read about all the folks who got fully vaccinated and STILL got Covid? Hell some of those vaccines are only 60% effective at best.
Ian F
Glad to hear y'all are recovering. An associate through one of my car clubs got it and 4 days after going to the hospital he passed away. It's an unpredictable little bugger ...
Robert Farrow
First, I hope you get better quickly. Second, I assume you are not sick with chicken pox, rubella, smallpox, whooping cough, tetanus, flu, shingles, or any of the 30 or so diseases that we have a vaccine for. Oh, wait! I hear we've had a vaccine against COVID 19 for over 8 months. WTF were you thinking? The vaccine also helps protect people who have had COVID19 from getting it again. So, slap your forehead and when you are all better, get vaccinated!
Gary Edwards
Hope you guys are on the road to recovery
Brian Foster
wishing you a speedy recovery.
Andy Oshea

"COVID enjoyer" I like that term for the club of those who recover from it. Might have to steal it
Jim Smitty
Get well first. We can all wait.
Christian Comeau
Health first, all the best for recovery.
David Burnham
Get well. Schedule be damned.
'General' Dipper
Speaking personally, I fully support you taking time off to get well. I'd also say as a long COVID enjoyer, make sure you eat right and get rest even if it's not too bad at the time.
Adam Williams
wow hope everyone gets better
Casca__Longinus

Not surprised you're all suffering the f/x; y'all have been burning the candle at both ends for *ages* trying to keep up to a brutal schedule. Zinc, vitamin C (not at the same time!), rest & sunshine. We'll all be here when y'all start feeling better.
Monte Harrison
Don't worry about responding. Y'all just get healthy and we will see you when you do. Love y'all!

I've bwwn through this stuff on a heavy level. Really take your time to recover. Taking longer to get well sooner sounds strange, but thats how this one works. We won't die from one missed episode, neither will we leave yall's work is to important to us
Courier
The history will still be there when y'all are better. Praying for ya. That stuff is no fun.
Matteo Manino

I would rather you guys all get better than make yourselves worse sticking to a schedule. Take care and get well soon.

The plague, and constantly having wet bullshit falling from the sky is a winning combination.

Would boosting the patreon Monthly donation make y'all feel alittle better?
General Jack Ripper
Some Chinese bats were flying around my post office last week. Just tell them, "Taiwan will be a sovereign nation," and they'll hiss at you and go away.
Matthew Jackson
Hope y'all get better soon.

Benjamin de Groot
Sorry to read that y'all got struck with it. Wishing you all a swift and full recovery and please, for the love of Gun Jesus (or whatever else you might hold sacred) look after your health first: you have sacrificed enough of it already to keep this show running and this virus is a nasty one with a long tail. Everything else can be recovered or re-oriented once y'all are able again. I've been waiting for months to have an actual comfy chair: I'm sure I can handle a couple weeks for Primer. Be safe and look after each other over there. My thoughts are with you.
Andrey Gardner
Thank you for the update. I will be mentally filling any production problems under "natural disaster; could not be helped." I hope YT does not punish you for any missed releases.
David Axel Hansen
Get well! Glad everyone is recovering. I'll be here when you get things rolling.
Alan Munro
That’s terrible news, I hope everyone is able to recover soon. I am regularly humbled by everything you have sacrificed to produce this incredible show. I can’t speak for anyone else but I would be more than happy for you to miss a couple of uploads or replace the usual primer episodes with shorter or simpler videos, especially at a time like this.
Cam W
I'm hoping and praying for a full recovery for everyone affected. Take all the time you need.
Earl
I hope and wish for everyone to have a quick recovery. And thanks for the heads up about the plague. For the next 2 weeks I'll wear my mask while watching your videos. Can't be too careful! 8-)
andrew ray
You need to take care of your health first. We will be okay with delayed episodes. I know you have fought hard to ensure you hit the schedule that was set in place so I'm sure this stresses you out.
Thank you for the update. Best wishes to you and yours for a speedy recovery. Health and safety are the primary concern. Everything else is a distant second. We'll be here when you're back on your feet.
James Janssen
Stay healthy and stay safe. We will wait for you guys. The quality product you guys bring is worth any wait.
Simon Tan
Get well or get vacced.
Michael Bond

Matthew Hunter
I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone here when I say ya'lls health is our biggest concern! Hope you feel better soon!
Brendan Sullivan
Very sorry to hear you folks got hit with the bug. Hope everone recovers soon and completely. Having all of you healthy and safe is worth much more than having to wait for your videos.
Sebastian Hiller
Get well soon, guys! Although you mentioned criticism I don‘t think this is the right place for it. However, I wished it wasn‘t necessary to worry about you right now. I hope you‘ll get through this quickly!
Kenneth Chan
Yikes, get well guys and gals.

On the bright side, now that everyone got it, you don't have to worry about getting it
Ian
Hope everyone is feeling better soon, no worry on the vids!
Erdanya
Oh damn, hope you guys get well soon!
Michael Stringer
😢It seems you can never catch a break - every time you get the schedule sorted something like this happens. (I'm convinced it's agents of the Youtube Algorithm plotting against you!) You guys focus on recovering and gathering your strength before trying to catch up again. It can take a _long_ time to fully recover even after the initial symptoms have receded. Stay safe and a speedy recovery to all. We'll still be here when you're ready to return.
Lynn Phillips
Team, most of us know what it's like to deal with this plague so please focus on taking care yourselves. Take the recommended supplements and get plenty of rest! We'll be here when you get back.
Robert
Take a break and get well! All the best to everyone! If possible, maybe have a 10 second video so the non-patreon subs know what is going on?
Persons Familiar with the Matter
Get well soon guys.
Jordan Wagner
Get well soon! We will be just fine and will be excited when the next release happens, but take the time you need to recover.
Mark D Booth
Forget the release schedule you guys get better first and then get back to it, I dont know anyone who will be upset that you can't film while dealing with covid. You and Mae and all the other behind the scenes have done such a great job for years.
Sean Morrison
No worries and no apologies needed!
Dr. B
You guys get better, the videos can wait!
Ry_Trapp0
No apology needed - take a break & recover from this. The content may bring us all here, but the people are what keep us here!
