Hey! Since my video about reading more books by RAW DOGGING THE LIBRARY, I have continued reading & enjoying that book I said I liked (no spoilers). 

The video: https://youtu.be/oL53a4QdK2A

But I also finally got a physical copy of what is apparently the best modern translation of The Count of Monte Cristo. HOLY CRAP! I didn't realize how much of a thick boi it is! Look how small it makes my head look!

P.S. My next video about testing sleep products comes out Friday, but can be watched RIGHT NOW if you're a Patron on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/early-release-i-157461952

Be on the lookout for a video in which I try bonkers (and not bonkers) sleep products in the next couple weeks.

I’VE GOT A BIG PLAN FOR 2026!

It’s called OBVAM - One Big Video A Month

I’ve assigned a big video to each month of the year. By “big video” I mean videos that might take more time, planning, research, interviews, travel, a big challenge to experience, etc.

So please, figure out how to punish me if I fail at this.

EXCEPT FOR JANUARY! Because the first video comes out the first week of February. Chyna and I are currently doing a No Spend Month.

In other news, I’ve been doing stuff over on the second channel, youtube.com/wheezynews. Videos about how to make your life not not good. I’ve already done 4 this YEAR!

In other other news, I finally made a new t-shirt! (see picture below) It’s for all you aspiring SPACE BABIES out there and can be acquired here: store.dftba.com/products/wheezy-waiter-space-baby

The Tuesbetter Newsletter is still going strong. wheezywaiter.substack.com/

I’m also concocting new plans for Patreon so be on the look out. Actually step outside onto your porch or balcony or what have you and just be on the lookout, 24/7. That’s all I ask.

Okay, looking forward to your comments about possible punishments for failure.

Hey, it’s time for a Tuesbetter Newsletter to make your Tuesday better and your Newsday letter!

How to make your day better: 

Do what I’m doing now-- listen to Built to Spill while eating a breakfast sandwich and drinking a latte in a fancy dancy coffee shop after taking your daughter to school.

Not a great way to save money, though. For money tips, see my latest video attached to this post. But you'd better grab a tissue because you’ll be dripping with SAVINGS!

I’m currently working on a video about my thoughts on 5 years of doing workouts. That’s right, I made this video 5 YEARS AGO!!! wheezywaiter.substack.com/publish/post/180507941

I plan to go through what I thought in this video and early fitness videos and reflect on my thoughts now. For one thing, back then, I thought my goal was going to be getting ripped. Pretty quickly, I abandoned that goal, not really because I couldn’t do it but because I didn’t want to.

CLONE: Pffffft yeah right Craaaaaaaaag

ME: NO FOR REAL, STUPID CLONE! MY FEELINGS ON EXERCISE THESE DAYS HAVE MORE TO DO WITH ONGOING HEALTH MAINTENANCE THAN APPEARANCE!

CLONE: How does this appear!?

*Clone moons me* (don't worry, it's censored)

ME: OH MY GOD! I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THAT!

okay okay.

Anyway, I’d love your thoughts on fitness in general and anything you’d like to know.

In other news, I’ve been posting a bunch of stuff throughout the Wheezyverse lately.

Some 2nd Channel Wheezynews videos:

Like this MOVIED episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTD1z...
a hodgepodge of a bunch of silly things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbOXQ...
And this one about the new show Pluribus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HE8n...

And I brought WHEEZYGAMER back from the dead! I’m playing Silksong! https://youtu.be/YKfyxCnRrEU

And of course my movie is still on Tubi. tubitv.com/movies/100049506/no-packers-no-life

So that's all for now. It's a lot. I know. You better get to work.
