Well it looks like the weather was a lot cooler today - and they may get some interesting storm(s) tomorrow.

I was a bit disappointed with the 3 second clips of their show, but the meteor impact crater shots made up for it heh. Speaking of bands though, I thought this was a WTK only tour? I didn't realize so many bands were all booked up with them.

 

[Ken]

That meteor impact was pretty interesting ... you can just imagine the destruction that brought to the surrounding area when it hit. It doesn't look like much, but I bet it took out a huge area.

Speaking of bands though, I thought this was a WTK only tour?

Yeah, Charles never talks about the other bands unless it's Warped Tour. They sure made it sound like it was only them touring, but as you can see lots of other bands are doing the same circuit at the same time.

 

[Ethan]

I'm just surprised they would go so far for such a small crowd. That's not a dis at all on them, but it looks like they are playing for a local bar sometimes. It could be just the camera work they are doing - maybe the crowd is a lot bigger than it appears on camera.

That was a cool vlog though today. Charles going back to the place where he proposed to Allie.

Also the Rocky and National Anthem ring tones were hilarious haha.

 

[Ken]

Yeah, some of the places they play at are really small, but today's was a pretty decent crowd. I wish he'd talk about the other bands that they are touring with. You can hear/see Charles was sitting and waiting for their turn on the stage today.

Also, I thought they were going to be on the road for 3 weeks? Charles mentioned they only have 3 shows left before they go home.

 

[Ethan]

I don't remember him saying that. I thought Allie said in today's vlog that Charles is almost half way done with that part of the tour. Either way time has been flying by for sure.

Also what's up with Charles lol. Lets see if I got this right. He has an ear infection and paid $500 to see a doctor. He doesn't like what he has to say, so he goes to another doctor (a specialist) and pays at least another $500 to be told the same thing heh. He should have saved himself $950+ and just got some over the counter stuff to try first, don't you think?

 

[Ken]

He should have saved himself $950+ and just got some over the counter stuff to try first, don't you think?

People in the comments section were screaming at him to see the Pharmacist directly - free advice and they can offer you meds directly. I guess he doesn't read them if he feels things are going well.

As for today's vlog, it looks like he saw yet another doctor and finally got prescribed some meds. Hopefully they work for him. I still can't figure out who the girl was in the vlog? She was with them the entire game - and afterwards as well.

 

[Ethan]

I think she was one of those contest winners where they can hang out with the band for a day. At least that's the impression I got from her behavior when she was with them.

So they are just about to wrap up their tour and not one vlog with Valentina. I thought they said they were going to do a ton of stuff together?

Also I feel bad for Allie stressing over this mysterious thing that's going on with her dog. I'm thinking Diesel attacked either Marley or Zoey. Remember a couple weeks back when suddenly she took her dog home and had a very vague reason why. And now today after this happened neither Marley or Zoey were in the vlog at all? I'm pretty dam sure Charles sister came and picked them up. This is a far more serious problem than she's letting on.

 

[Ken]

So they are just about to wrap up their tour and not one vlog with Valentina. I thought they said they were going to do a ton of stuff together?

Yeah, it doesn't appear that's happening anymore. I bet that issue with Diesel attacking either Marley or Zoey again canceled all those plans.

I noticed that Allie was MIA in today's vlog. I'm really interested to see if Charles dogs make an appearance in the next vlog or not. Something big is going on ... she unconvincingly downplayed the whole situation and now I'm really curious about all the details.

 

[Ethan]

Well the dogs made a brief appearance in today's vlog. They just showed Zoey for a sec, and Marley from the back on a walk. I'm sure the next vlog or so will be titled "We need to talk" or something along those lines.

 

[Ken]

We never saw Zoey or Marley at all in today's vlog. I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but people were all over them for yesterday's "click bait" title. I believe Allie deflected the attention off Charles and told everyone she did the title.

Guys ... like it or not, it's click bait when you title the video "IT'S OFFICALLY OVER" and use this as a thumbnail :

Why did you choose a concerned / serious Charles face as the image? You knew for a fact people were going to be immediately concerned and rush over to find out what's going on. Not everyone watches your vlog everyday, so you can't assume they should know what the title really means.

Allie here. I titled the vlog. He clearly states that the tour "is officially over". Please guys stop getting upset over a title and just watch the vlog then you won't need to get upset.

That's why people are getting upset. I'm upset because I really want you guys to do well .. and hate seeing you take one step forward, and when things are going well, you take 2 steps back when you do this.

 

[Ethan]

Yeah that's the frustration I have been dealing with watching their vlogs as well. I don't think they realize the damage it does - it's hard to enjoy a vlog if you feel you've been deceived.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the world record based on his channel having a vlog everyday? If he forgot about it and Allie posted a little video, wouldn't that still count? Why would Charles have to be stressed over it then?

 

[Ken]

It's hard to enjoy a vlog if you feel you've been deceived.

I think that's the main problem why his channel isn't growing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the world record based on his channel having a vlog everyday?

I don't even think Charles knows the answer to that question. I think he just doesn't want to take any chances. That world record must be putting so much stress on him .. I would hate to think what would happen if he accidentally lost it.

As for today's vlog, it was nice to see he made it back safely. His luggage on the other hand is lost somewhere in the world!

 

[Ethan]

Sadly I think it would take him losing the world record for his channel to grow. Being forced to put up a vlog (literally anything) every day hurts content creation. Not a slam or dis on him, it would happen to anyone trying to do this. Just like today's video - his one takers are usually really good, but he gets distracted so easily I lost focus on what he was even talking about 2 mins in. But he got the video out, and the record is safe.

 

[Ken]

Charles just can't catch a break .. he was not invited to VidCon this year. He admitted this in today's vlog, but his tweet yesterday told a different story.

We wont be traveling to @VidCon this year, we only have time to get to one of the 2 events due to tour this summer. I chose @PlaylistLive, I feel they are still in tune witj the YouTube community & havent lost sight of this.

His tweet implied he had a choice, but he really didn't have one. It's weird.

Also ... have you noticed that Charles is still not driving a car? He filmed himself in the drivers seat in today's vlog, but he was parked in his driveway. There was no footage of the car actually moving anywhere. I wish he'd be honest and let the viewers know what's going on ...

 

[Ethan]

Lets be honest, no one is really surprised about the whole VidCon thing. Of course it sucks and it hurts be he had to have seen this coming. Imo, he should drop the daily vlogging and save his channel. Sure the world record is nice, but it's not brining people to his community. Unless of course this is just a super personal thing for him then he has to reap the side effects of it like he has the last few years.

 

[Ken]

I'll have to agree, the daily vlogging is doing more harm than good at this point. There just isn't enough "interesting stuff" happening every day to keep things fresh and entertaining. I'm not saying they are not interesting or entertaining - this problem would happen to anyone who tried to do what Charles and Allie are doing now. I can't imagine it's healthy for their relationship either.

As for today's vlog, those were really nice earrings Charles got for Allie. They would have had a better day if it wasn't for that damn school shooting.

 

[Ethan]

Yeah that really hit close to home for them.

I wonder why Charles left Allie pushing the Golf Cart? I'm sure she could have walked the 2 dogs home heh. I mean I know he came back and all, but that just felt odd.

 

[Ken]

I wonder why Charles left Allie pushing the Golf Cart?

Not sure .. you'd figure it would have been safer to send Allie home with the dogs - then leave her by herself with the golf cart.

Anyways, today's vlog was a fun one! Charles was showing some of he first videos he posted. He sure hasn't changed that much, you as can see a lot of similarities. Also, they revisited when Allie was first introduced to the vlogs (no longer squiggles).

Just a heads up - I've noticed a couple days ago that they do visit this website from time to time to see what is written about them. A couple of vlogs ago they confirmed it for me.

 

[Ethan]

That doesn't surprise me too much.

They finally got out and did something cool today. They went to the Renaissance fair and I have to admit I didn't realize people got so into character there heh.

I won't spoil it except for saying that Mel kicked Charles butt and Allie got beat by her sister heh.

 

[Ken]

Now that's how you do a one-take Sunday! I wonder why they are downsizing the storage unit? They had a lot of neat stuff though, some of it has some pretty good monetary value. It'll be interesting to see what their reasoning were tomorrow.
