Hollie really liked the weather!

Yesterday was awesome! We live in Southern California, so rain and lightning is extremely rare. Everyone in the office was watching the lightning saying, "Whoa! Double lightning all the way across the sky!" We all laughed, but a few hours later... there was an actual double rainbow outside! The outer rainbow faded pretty fast, but you could still see it.

If you look closely, you can see the outer rainbow just above the first tiny light post on the left.

We only have one car right now, so Hollie came to pick me up. She was standing outside the car looking at the sky. We took a few pictures and jumped in the car to go home. Once we left the church parking lot, she started to sound like she was going to cry. I busted out my iPhone and started recording. I didn't expect her to go to the extent that she did! I have 16 minutes of nothing but Hollie crying tears of joy while talking about the weather!


I pretty much stayed quite the whole ride home and let her do all the talking. My favorite part is when she talks about understanding the Double Rainbow Guy (Hungrybear9562). In the unedited version, she says it like 7 times :D

Of course some people are going to think this is staged and that's fine. Hollie has a history of crying like this after movies, so it's not too far off to say that she would act this way on a day like that. I'm not much of a nature guy, but it was a really crazy sky. We're also not trying to top or even come close to the official Double Rainbow video. We have our own thing going on YouTube and we're happy where we are. This was just too good to keep to myself :D

A few weeks ago, we were interviewed by the German network, RTL. It was really fun and they even took us to lunch afterwards! By far the best interview we've had. They finally posted the story online and I was surprised to discover that I know absolutely nothing about the German language. Nonetheless, the voice of the narrator and the music in the background made us smile.
Thanks to two amazing YouTubers, we were able to get it translated for subtitles within an hour. That's crazy! I still have some work to do with adding the subtitles, but I'll get to it!!! So here it is! If you're like us and have no idea what they're saying, just make something up :)

So what's new with you?

I'll be the first to admit that though it would be my dream to blog consistently, it is most certainly not my thing. When I'm inspired, I have no time to write. When I have time, I'm completely uninspired and have nothing to say. The good news is that I'm feeling up to the challenge of writing something that I hope is worth reading! So here's a CryingWife update!

We were recently contacted by a reporter named Hans. He's with the German network RTL and wants to do a story on us! We're really excited because we're hoping they'll replace our voices with German translators :D Our last "at home" interview was with ET. That didn't go over so well because the reporter was kind of... let's just say that they twisted everything we said even though we specifically asked them not to. We're not too worried about Hans and his crew because they sound really nice and our fans from other countries seem to understand our marriage dynamic more than the folks here at home. We'll see!

On top of that, I recently got word that the people over at "The Smoking Gun Presents" on TruTV want to use a few of our clips on their show. That sounds like a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what celebrities roast us! When it comes to a comedy show, we have no problem being the butts of the jokes :D

So where are the new videos? I can't promise anything, but we will try to make more in the near future. If these were fake, we'd be popping them out like Octomom on a Wednesday. However, they're not fake and not every reaction is as funny as the videos that we've been posting. We actually don't watch very many movies together because I'm more into thrillers and complex movies like Momento. She's more into Disney and family comedies. So finding a chunk of time to actually watch a movie that we can agree on and have it be the kind that she'll cry after and that she actually does cry... it's complicated :) Just know that we haven't given up on the crying wife videos. We just can't commit as much time to it as we'd like to.

So that's our update! Hopefully the Germany piece and our appearance on TruTV will encourage us to make a video very soon!

One of my favorites

A few months ago, Hollie and I were watching the Office when Pam and Jim got married. She cried through the whole wedding scene! Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera on me :( I knew that this needed to go on the site, so about a week ago I offered to rewatch that episode. It's a two parter, so she made us watch both. Needless to say, her reaction was gold! She was so happy for Pam and Jim as if they were real (she knows they're not). Here's a little factoid: The footage that you see is actually from us watching the wedding scene twice! Not just once, but twice!

The blog is a mess!

We were hosting our blog on SquareSpace, but I decided to move back to blogger because it's free and our blog doesn't need to be amazing. I moved it over, but I'm not going to have time to work on the design for awhile. So for now, enjoy this very basic blog layout! Woo Hoo!

On another note, a new video is coming very soon. This on is my all time favorite. Words can't describe Hollie's reaction to Pam and Jim's wedding on The Office. Hysterical. Look for it later this week!

Anniversary!

Hey Everybody!


   I finally convinced Hollie to get a twitter account!  It's also our anniversary today!  I thought it would be awesome if I could get a many people as I could to follow her and leave a "Happy Anniversary!" message on her twitter.  She isn't addicted to twitter yet, so she probably wont check it until later tonight.  So, if you want to make her day, shoot her a tweet!  Her twitter is @HollieAdora!  


 


Thanks everybody!  She told me that she was probably only going to have 2-3 followers.  I can't wait to surprise her!

P.S.  Special thanks to everyone who already tweeted her!  You guys are awesome!

The Dog Ate My Subtitles :-|

One of the key elements of the crying wife videos is Hollie's unintelligible ramblings.  I'll ask her a simple question like, "Are you happy for the dad?" and she'll go off an a speech that Sharon Osborne would have trouble interpreting!  If you listen carefully, you might be able to register a few bits and pieces, but anything more than a fragment of a sentence would be rare.  


With such hard-to-understand commentary, it would be natural to have subtitles.  That would all fine and dandy, but in most of the videos, I have no idea what she's saying either!  In fact, I called in the expert, Hollie herself, and she had no idea what she was saying!  I hate to say it, but whatever's going on in her crazy mind is going to remain a mystery :)
