My Last Day of Live Streaming
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed
To all of you, I’m sorry if you had to hear the fight Ponzi and I had on the live stream earlier. After all of this time, she gave me an ultimatum. She can’t take the whole live stream thing anymore. I have to choose… my wife, or all of you. As much as I love you all, I had to choose her. I won’t be live streaming anymore, and I’m unsure if this will be my last YouTube video or not.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the live stream over the past year. Thanks especially to the ops who kept the chat room going at all hours of the day and night, and made it such a fun place to hang out. I guess you guys can keep it open if you want, but I will no longer be there myself. It’s been an amazing time, hasn’t it? We’ve learned a lot, and made many new friends along the way. When I look back over the past year, I will remember all of the fun we had late at night most of all. I’m sorry I have to put Kat out of her job working on my videos. I’m sure she’ll scrape something up quickly. She’s a smart cookie, and maybe someone else who doesn’t have a wife to contend with will snap her up to do videos for them.
For the last time… E ya later.

I am going to miss seeing your videos, chris. You have helped me so much over the past year, I have really enjoyed watching your videos. You make me laugh, you make me smile and you feed my mind with tons of really useful information.
I guess now I know why people tell me to stop getting involved with women.. they’re a pain :P But I guess you had to choose and I’m sure you did the right thing.
I really hope you come back sometime in the future.. I’ll still be checking your website and youtube for more videos every week.. just in case.
It has been fun. - while it lasted.
Good luck, Chris. You’ll be missed by many people.
Always been a big fan and wish you the best,

It’s a sad day. I was just getting used to it. On the other hand, it’s very understandable and I guess it’s amazing that she was able to live with it this long. It’s hard to be the only one entertaining hundreds of people at a time and be responsible for that 24/7. Perhaps we’ll have live streams on a scheduled basis?

I respect both Chris and Ponzi for this. It is a shame but it must be terrible for the whole word to watch you 24/7. At least with celebrities, they are only watched up to their front door. Here, we get to go through the front door.
I would like to be able to see Chris stream from time to time, not 24/7. You could also run a service whereby voiced users can also stream. Slots could simply be booked in advance or taken when free.
Whatever the outcome, I would like to thank Chris for all of his videos and the stream. I would also like to thank Ponzi for putting up with ‘us’ for so long.
Ee ya later!

I mabey understand live streaming, but you can’t stop making youtube videos. Or if you do stop making videos you should at least record audio.
mabey even find a service that lest you stream audio.
Without videos, or at least audio you will disappear.

Thank God!
Boy am I ever glad this is the end of it.
I couldn’t stand the streams and videos you put up.
Some time ago I started (sometimes) telling Mailwasher to ‘Delete’ your emails so I wouldn’t even have to d/l them when I was busy or didn’t want to be cr@pped at aurally or visually. I especially couldn’t stand the dueling videos I sometimes got. Y’know, one video in an article and live stream on the right pane that won’t stop.
I’d click on several articles (in the emails), and then I’d find you in more than one video in each of several tabs.
Now maybe you’ll …*we’ll* get some real content.
Now I’m waiting for you to stop putting up your disembodied head.
BTW, I think you’d really benefit from a public speaking course — try your local junior college.
That comment earlier, about the ‘real content’. Go for it. Put some up. You used to do a good job…

Ok so it was a april fools joke, like i thought at first when i saw that was done on april 1. But I did not realize that he would make a joke like that, so I started to take it lidiraly (I have no idea how you spell that word)
I am sure that some of you might of possibly got worried, I though the upside down camera on the last day was enough.
Anyways i am sure chris got at-least 2 or 3 emails telling him not to stop.
this was my first april fools with the pirillo’s, now i just hope chris will have a better one next year.
