I cant believe Nathan robbed Julia and Jacob's new place just after they fully decorated! Hopefully he'll realise the error of his ways and drop the ransom for their decor!
I hope someday, when Nathan moves, Julia sneaks in right before he does a final walkthrough and tapes a single picture of the gnome on the empty apartment's wall.
It’s crazy how impressive Julia’s Blender skills have gotten to the point where she’s modeled this backdrop that looks like a new apartment just to fool us
I find it so funny that Julia is SO good at Observation Duty, a game where you must remember such small details, and yet cannot for the life of her co-workers draw a character from memory.
@@SecretSleepoverSociety thank you SO much for your hard work!! i can watch stuff without captions, but having them greatly helps me process words and it always makes me excited if they're available... looking forward to actually have captions on the vods if that becomes a thing, thats gonna be so lovely
@@SecretSleepoverSociety I appreciate it very much! I can watch things without captions but like others are saying, it’s much easier to process information with them enabled :)
My nephew is 2 and he's super sweet, but they start learning words and suddenly have a lot of opinions because they're like "Oh I get to tell people what I think now"
my nephew just turned two as well!!! he came down for a visit, I absolutely could not understand a thing he said aside from "water", " tv" and "please", but we fully vibed together by building lil tunnels all over the living room floor, in perfect synergy yet another common autism w for me :)
My brother found it so important that when he finally could express himself, the first thing he did was he told my grandma that she was a bad driver 😂. He pretended to crash a toy car and said ' drive like Mimi'.
re: manners we have because of tradition and should get rid of. No elbows on the table, iirc, exists because sailors would get used to having to hold their tables on ship still while eating during rough water, and would continue to do so on land. Then, because sailors were often rowdy and such, people began to see the elbows on a table as rude and it's so pointless
Just wanted to leave this comment. I was here when Drawfee started, Secret Sleepover started, when the cats arrived, when they got married, when they got their new apartment, when they became co-presidents of America bringing in a new era of peace, love, and acceptance for everyone. Wait, forget that last one, I'm from the future. You're not supposed to know that yet. Love you Jacob and Julia, congrats on the new place!!!!

You both sound relaxed and happy - so glad you’re in a bigger space and can separate work from home life a little more. I didn’t realize how big a deal that was until I moved to a place where different rooms can have different functions. Kitties look happy too! May you all have much peace and contentment in your new place.
I love the conversation about manners and how the ones based on tradition make no sense. I've always said that tradition is peer pressure from the dead.
British person here (for those interested in the riveting toilet conversation lmao): “Loo” is regional, “Toilet” is generally what we call a… toilet (like a public toilet or at home) and “Bathroom” is a toilet with a bath in it. No one says “water closet”, WC is only on maps or toilet signs on like trains and public places (if not a gendered/non-gendered symbol)
As a plumber I use the term “water closet” a lot, but never to refer to a room. Rather, we use water closet to refer to the toilet itself. All plumbing regulations in the building code (at least where I’m from) use the word water closet to refer to toilets, and all blueprints that includes the locations of plumbing fixtures use “WC” to indicate where a toilet is located. The rooms themselves are called bathrooms (with a bath/shower) and powder rooms (without a bath/shower). Sorry for the long comment, but this is genuinely an interesting convo to me lol
In case this gets to Jacob&Julia: water closet is derived from "wash-down closet", as in tiny room for using the flushing toilet. You wash the pee and poo down with water as opposed to doing the business down a hole with either a bucket or a sewer below it.
It is also referred to as a closet because when the flush toilets were first introduced most houses didn't have space for them in the bathing room and so they retrofitted literal closets to put in the toilet (and some times a sink).
i’m captain of a team that’s basically just competitive trivia and every time julia mentions his dark materials i recommit it to memory so i don’t miss a question on it in honor of my dear monster mom
the definition of romance is "a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love" or "a quality or feeling of mystery, excitement, and remoteness from everyday life" so jacob is actually correct in saying that romance is fleeting
Jacob would go batshit insane if he had to drive in Vancouver. It's got the same "Fuck everyone else around me, only I matter" that his description of New York has, but with literally zero awareness of your surroundings or common sense. It's like that scene from Mulan where the grandma closes her eyes and walks into traffic because she's blessed by the lucky cricket, except everyone's in a car and the cricket is the rare one person paying attention.
That's exactly how I felt when my family went to Rome this past spring. One of our tourguides (shoutout to my gal Chiara!) told us that the way to drive in Rome is to be "aggressive but kind", as in, you have to push your way through to get where you want to go, but if you see someone trying to do the same, let them in :)
Before the 16th century, when flushing toilets more or less as we know them today appeared, (though it didn't immediately fall out of fashion afterwards) "toilet" didn't mean, you know, the porcelain throne itself, but rather a general washing/freshening up room (think of "toiletries"), while the place where you went to do your business was a type of "closet". Before closets became either a small room, or a piece of furniture (or a mix, as in walk-in closets) dedicated to clothes, it was a term that referred to any small, private room, with no specific use attached to the term. The "water closet" then was a small, private room, where the flushing toilet was, and it was called that instead of simply something like, iunno, "filth closet" (great name for a band, btw), was because it differentiated it from "earth closets", which used the far older, more traditional system of shitting straight down a hole into the earth. Nowadays, since those went out of style (or became "out-houses"), leaving the water system as the standard, and the word "closet" became relegated to clothes-storage, the term "water closet" may seem meaningless, but it was a very specific, important distinction to make. Also, like a lot of things, the name has survived as a fancy, almost euphemistical way to refer to the private room where you go to piss and shit. It just sounds nicer, especially if you have to ask where it is to a stranger.
Before anyone asks, I know this because I also have wondered what "water closet" meant before, not because I'm some kind of toilet historian. If I were I'd explain that rudimentary forms of toilets flushed via a flow of water go back to the neolithic and the distinction we're making here is of fixtures connected to some kind of sewage system flushed through the use of a water reservoir and gravity, and which may or may not make use of a P pipe in order to create a hydraulic seal-- I MEAN I'M NOT A TOILET HISTORIAN SHUT UP LEAVE ME ALONE
As someone from New Jersey who is now going to college on Long Island, I completely agree about driving between the city and Long Island cause I do it every weekend now. It's fucking insane. Everyone tailgates, no matter which lane. So many people treat it like it's GTA and bob and weave through traffic at 110 mph. Even if you're going 80/90, someone in a lifted truck WILL flash their high beams behind you. Zipper merging doesn't exist, it's everyone for themselves. It's terrifying. New Jersey drivers aren't the best but they aren't nearly as batshit crazy as New Yorkers.
as someone from Massachusetts who used to drive through NJ/NY every now and then, I have never understood how Massachusetts got the bad wrap for bonkers driving, because WOW!!! New York is a trip. Good luck and stay safe out there!
The Left Hand of Darkness is so good!!!! I'm trying to make 2023 the year of Ursula K. Le Guin for me, I've read TLHoD and The Dispossessed so far and rereading the Earthsea series is on my list as well as some of her shorter novels and stories. Also so cool that Jacob likes the Locked Tomb books, that's one of my favourite series ever!! Without knowing Julia personally I do feel like she'd dig those books as well, both in an aesthetic sense and because they're so twisty and layered and stuff, they remind me of both Drawtectives and His Dark Materials in some ways. Good taste in books!!
full subtitles?? damnn (maybe I just didn’t notice before) I already watched the vod on twitch because my autistic brain needed to know what to expect from the new place. I really love these vods, use them to fall asleep to, just nice stories during lowkey gameplay
I forgot about the not eating before everyone gets their food rule during covid so when i started going to family dinner events again I'd just start immediately devouring my food and then suddenly remember that i was in a formal enough setting and i should be waiting lol. Just put my cutlery back down mid mouthful
Speaking of bad drivers, when my family was moving to our new home, our minivan was fully pushed off the freeway in the middle of the desert by a giant u-haul and now theyre sueing us even though it was entirely their fault 🙃
the random question about "water closet" made me look it up, it's called that because it's a small private room (a den, if you will) with a waste-pipe that flushes water. it's almost disappointingly literal. the more you know! also this reminds me of a story my aunt once told me, her name starts with a W and her elementary school had a WC sign shaped as a heart, and people would tease her for the toilet door having her and another classmate's initials in a heart lol. we're norwegian so kids especially wouldn't immediately know that WC is english, and it did also blow my mind when my aunt told me what WC stood for back then editing to add about "restroom" as well, a restroom used to literally be a room for rest in a workplace, and it was only later that they added toilets to the package. restroom became synonymous with toilet because people used it as a euphemism, just like powder room! like, essentially instead of saying "i gotta pee" people would be saying "i gotta have a rest ;)" by calling it a restroom, u feel? i found all this on etymonline, by the way! etymology is neat
You've Got Mail is a modern take on the movie The Shop Around the Corner from 1940 which is itself an adaption of a (slightly) older play which is one reason why it feels dated. But also 90's romcoms generally didn't age well.
Omg YES! Someone else noticed the crazy CO drivers!!! We just moved back to Seattle, but while we lived in CO everyone who lived there thought we were crazy for thinking drivers are just mindless in CO 😂 like several times I’ve experienced people stop at a red light, look both ways, and then just go! I have also been honked at for stopping at a stop sign. I used to fear for my safety on my daily commute
idea. install a camera on the ceiling with a really wide lense that they an switch to at a moment's notice in case they want to show a top-down perspective
British person and a bit of a history nerd. You have to understand that the term Water Closet comes from a time when indoor plumbing wasn’t a thing. The upper class could afford to have small rooms in their homes where they “made water” (an incredibly old, posh, overly polite way of saying they need to piss), then some poor bastard would have the unpleasant job of cleaning it out and disposing of it. So no there wouldn’t have been running water in the kitchen or anywhere in the property. No one says it any more, and the signs on toilet doors have either the people symbols or the word toilet on them. But the map symbol WC kinda stuck around because it was a symbol we all recognised. Like how the symbol for call is still a landline phone despite landlines being almost obsolete.
I also read the locked tomb series because of Jacob, and oh god. They are amazing, I spend 3/4 of the second book completely confused and I loved every second of it
Hey! I work in a hospital lab! Your piss goes into a fridge that is temperature monitored 3 different ways and after 7 days we get to take our racks and racks of piss and one by one dump them into the designated piss sink. It's um... fragrant... they're kept for 7 days just in case the doctor / provider wants us to run additional testing, that way the patient doesn't have to give us more piss
Colorado girl here who just very recently moved to Connecticut: I had written a whole comment about how much worse drivers were on the East coast than colorado, but nice to know its literally just isolated to CT and CT alone. I drive 4 hours a day on these roads and every second feels like my life is on the line.
I’ve actually heard the women shouldn’t move their legs thing several times, including once as advice TO swing your leg when around a man you’re interested in because it will attract attention and make them think about you sexually. I think I was fourteen at the time when an adult woman coworker gave me that advice. So I can see where Julia’s ex’s mom decided bouncing knees were “unladylike” or whatever. So is having financial independence according to some people. I’ll be unladylike and thrive, thanks very much.
Julia and Jacob’s Clara stories are the absolute best. They’re so sweet and it’s always so obvious how invested in and excited about this wonderful, strange child and all the little things she does, they are. Like, I feel the same way about the stories my teacher friend tells me about one of her kids who’s hyperfixation is Catholic Mass. These kids are just so weird and good and I love hearing about their antics from the adults that care for them, idk.
Visited family in Dallas, Texas recently. Saw someone fully open their door to throw trash into the street. While moving. In front of a sign reminding people to not do that.
There's a pretty good Leo Vader video called "How much would a PS5 cost in In Time time?" where he tries to figure out the exchange rate. Highly recommended.
I can't believe I had to find out the exciting news that Jacob & Julia live in the Hudson Valley now! My chances of having an encounter with them were I can tell them that they are cool and funny before leaving them to enjoy the rest of their day have now increased 😎
The intro series of stories (yard sale, eggs, farmers market little toddler, etc) were such fun, I live in the middle of nowhere so farmer's markets and town yard sales are a majority of our activities lol
I love how the sceleton listened to Julia before the anomaly found apeared they were already going back to their spot ... whose a good sceleton? You are!
thank you for the subtitles Khaz! idk if this is the first ep they're on but its the first one I've noticed so just wanted to say an overall thank you!
The Hudson Valley is such a nice area; I've lived here since 2004. I also moved upstate from NYC and I'm happy to hear you're both enjoying the calmer vibes up here.
14:20 I just wanna say that when I worked in a hospital lab we made constant jokes that we poured all the positive drug test urine into a giant vat and called it the jungle juice. If we were having a bad shift someone would be like, "anyone wanna start doing shots of the secret lab jungle juice?"
