Who could forget Dusk?

I am unreasonably annoyed that the logo and the text are not lined up.

At All In 2024 he was featured in the 16 man tag showcase on the pre-show, which seemed to exist more as an opportunity for Private Party and Top Flight to show off their moves. Now he's defending the International Title (a belt fought over at All In 2024 by Ospreay and MJF), and is considered a shoe-in for a world title reign in the near future. He barely seems like the same wrestler from two years ago.

Travis recently returned to playing Stardew Valley on stream, presumably because the original Stardew streams were by far his most popular videos (although, as you can see from the chart, there was a precipitous and almost immediate drop off).

Well now he's back! And TravNation™️ has...barely noticed. Like, he's getting worse numbers for these streams than he got when he was playing TImberborn, a game I've never heard of.

These are just shocking numbers, especially since (as we learned recently in u/Duhad8's quite frankly stunning Interrobang recaps) Travis claimed that if fan interest in a McElroy Bros collaboration rated a 10, then fan interest in his solo projects was an 8. Meanwhile, Griffin is reading a spreadsheet line by line and getting 5x the viewers (which is a fraction of what he used to get on the Trial By Fieri streams).

Notes:

Episode 4 was the infamous episode where Justin joined the chat and told Travis his hat made him look like a sex offender. It was by far the funniest thing the McElroys have done in years.

Episode 10, which saw a significant uptick in views, was a MaxFunDrive episode, and was the one where he loaded a shit ton of crazy mods into the game and...I guess people liked that? I tried reading the recap by u/SwarmSwampSwim, but by that point our poor recapper's spirit had been irretrievably broken. I hope you're well, wherever you are.

Awhile back our little girl Lucy Goose started spending a lot of time laying on the footrest I keep under my desk. It seemed like she might be trying to hide, which can sometimes be a sign of illness or injury. So we took her to the vet for a checkup. Vet's diagnosis: "I think she might just like the smell of your feet."

Weirdly, this screen only seems to appear on videos Travis does with one or both brothers. His most recent solo Stardew video doesn't have it.
