Bradshaw's Blog

Looks like MysteryGuitarMan is finally making an honest woman out of his fiancee Sarah Evershed and about to marry her. Actually, by the time you read this they will be married. If you missed MGM's latest video (see below) he explains that he won't be uploading a new video next tuesday as usual because he and Sarah (Mr and Mrs Penna) will be making sweet music together on their honeymoon. The video was uploaded the day before they tied the knot and you can see that they are mad for each other and everyone should wish them the best. The second video shows him actually proposing to Sarah, done in solid MysterGuitarMan fashion and the third one was shot by Olga Kay and shows a lot of the reception and features a bunch of wellknown youtubers. MysteryGuitarMan (Joe Penna) proposed to Sarah in Sept 2010 Love the ending to that video. MGM: "Who's the cutest little girl in the world?" Sarah: "ME!!" It doesn't matter what he uploads, bu...

Me: "I think I'll check to see what new videos have been posted on Youtube. Cool! A new CTFxC video!" And about ten minutes into it, it gets a little weird as Charles starts talking about this blog he found that shows the Top 100 from August 2007 and there on the screen is - this blog! I'm like "Hey! That's my blog! That's Bradshaw's Blog!" The vlog starts out with Charles discovering their credit card number had been stolen (bummer) but they got that mess straightened out fairly quickly. Then Charles points out that Alli is all bandaged up with various aches and bumps and bruises (she still looks good though). After a little sojourn into the toy store to get some props for the CTFxC Movie Club (check Alli's channel for that), where Charles was in his glory as usual, they go outside where he shows Alli beside the sign saying "No Stopping Anytime". All I could think about was the video below by ExplosmEntertainment . ...

Alli, Charles & Shay on their way to Lollapalooza Charles Trippy and Alli Speed get to go to some pretty wild places and events and luckily they upload them to their CTFxC Youtube channel for all of us to share. In this video they, along with Shay Carl, Casey (Shay's brother), Lisa Nova, BrettTheIntern, and KassemG are going to Lollapalooza 2011 and their video below shows a ton of great behind the scenes stuff. Oh yeah, and Nice Peter is in the mix somewhere too. The bands that played today (August 6th) were: J. Roddy Walston and the Business, Fitz and The Tantrums, Mayer Hawthorne and The Country, Big Audio Dynamite, Local Natives, Deftones, My Morning Jacket, Grouplove, Walk the Moon, Black Lips, Death From Above 1979, Ween, Beats Antique and Coldplay doing an encore after their great show Friday (the one Alli and Charles were at). Alli & Charles listening to In My Place by Coldplay Lot's of great bands, Charles talks with Sonny Moore from Skrillex ...

Even though VidCon is over, Shay Carl and Charles Trippy are still hard at work making videos. This one is just a behind the scenes type of thing with a guest appearance by Rocktard who will not part with his gum (and gum wrapper). It's always cute seeing Shay with the kids and you can tell they are his world. It looks like Charles will be playing a cop. I was wondering about the cop shirt when they came on. He is supposed to be Princesstard's step-dad and he does look the part (well, except for the earrings lol). VidCon just finished and these guys are already back at it pumping out the vids.

Here's a little of the VidCon experience through the lens of Charles Trippy's CTFxC as he and Alli take in the fun in L.A. It's always cool seeing all the various Youtubers floating around in the background in these gatherings. I spotted Philip DeFranco leading that game of Ninja and of course Shay Carl getting his beard handed to him in the basketball game with Charles and iJustine yawning as they were preparing to go on stage. I liked how Shay's various tardlets wandered into the room first thing in the morning. During the trip through the kitchen I noticed IJ was filming in this video as well as the Shaytards' video so I'll keep an eye out for that one. It was funny when Charles was pointing out where last year's VidCon took place and there was a party "down there" and the "Chubby Bunny Challenge" (see: The Chubby Bunny Challenge: Enter At Own Risk from last year). If you didn't get a chance to go to Los Angeles you can s...

In case you don't know, a little gathering of online folks has been taking place in L.A. known as "Vidcon" and here Shay Carl and the Shaytards are vlogging about the shindig. Shay and the family are going to be on stage (hopefully Shay won't throw Rocktard out into the audience like last year) and if you watch the video you will likely see all sorts of the top Youtubers. First there's KassemG, Michael Buckley from his "What The Buck Show", iJustine, Tobuscus, MysteryGuitarMan, CTFxC (Charles Trippy and Alli Speed) and many others passing by the camera. Now don't you wish you had bought a ticket? It unfortunately sold out in early May. If you're thinking ahead to Vidcon 2012 it is still a long way away and the location and other stuff has not been worked out, but you better plan on buying your ticket as soon as they become available.

CTFxC 's Charles Trippy and Alli Speed are in L.A. covorting with Wheezy Waiter on the roof of a building with a huge pool. It just does not get better than that. Later, they go to a favorite spot for locals and out-of-towners called Roscoe's for chicken and waffles and are joined by the folks from Prank vs. Prank.

It's Valentine's Day and Charles and Alli have a special guest. Yes, Mr Conan O'Brien actually says CTFxC FTW" (although he did make a slight error). How did Charles and Alli get Conan filmed? Well, TeraBrite (aka Sabrina & DJ), who did the closing music for the CTFxC videos, were on Conan's TV show because of a contest And here's the whole video when TeraBrite ambushed Conan: If you want to see the great video they shot that won them the chance to be on O'Brien's show, take a look: Conan's VD Explosion Contest Entry . You'll probably like it simply for the awesome burp. How did CTFxC do in that epic "Just Dance 2" dance off? Well, I'm glad you asked. You will find out at the start of the video. If you have no idea what this "dance off" contest was, it was between Charles and Alli, Wheezy Waiter and Philip DeFranco. See this Bradshaw's Blog post to see all of them busting moves respectively.

It looks like it is Game ON for Charles Trippy and Alli ( CTFxC ) as they are now in an epic dance off with Wheezy Waiter and Philip DeFranco . They have been challenged by the good folks at Ubisoft who brought us Just Dance 2 and here they are bustin' moves left, right and center: Have to admit, I am glad Charles declined wearing the little green shorty shorts. Alli looks SO much better in them. Gotta give Charles props for his mad dancing skills. I don't think I've ever seen him dance in any of his videos (actually Alli mentions she doesn't think she has ever seen him dance before either). But now on to Wheezy. He of course enlists the aid of one of his multitude of Wheezy clones. I think Wheezy may have the moves of Bristol Palin. And here's Philip DeFranco's entry which features the scrumptious Tricia Helfer, formerly of Battlestar Gallactica and now a part of so many other things such as the video below. I was so busy watching Tricia shaking he...

Poor Charles lol. Once again he is swamped with CTFxC hoodies that are all spread around his and Alli's living room getting ready to be shipped out. Can you think of how to help the poor guy out and remove the clutter? He mentioned that he felt it was almost like being on the show "Hoarders". I think it may be time for them to consider moving the hoodie operation out of their living quarters. Charles did like that some of the folks who ordered their sweatshirts and hoodies posted pictures showing some of Zoe and Marley's dog hair that came as an added bonus. Maybe he could add a special pre-packaged Marley hairball, almost like one of those chase cards that you find in sports cards. Just a thought. Have to admit I lolled at the animation by cybertoons at the start. Very realistic in Alli's "I kill you" expression lol. Also. liked the look Alli was sporting on her way to class with the hair pulled back, sunglasses and black top. Just sayin' she ...

It looks like Charles Trippy's Movember beard is coming in pretty good in this CTFxC and he is making some headway as far as getting his office cleaned up. Still lots of stuff all over the floor including viewer mail which he and Alli will open in another video. I think the best part of that video had to be Charles in the wig and glasses and then showing the picture of his Dad all permed out. Of course, the scene with Alli eating the eyeballs and gizzrds or what every it was she was eating. I think I for one will pass on the Zombie food. But the book How To Talk Like A Zombie looked fun. Next we get to see all the stuff people have been sending in to them. It is always cool stuff that CTFxCers send them and this is no exception. A lot of work went into the art work. Charles always seems to say that he doesn't want his viewers spending a lot of money on the items they send them, but it is always funny seeing how Zoe and Marley react to the toys and dog treats that are ma...

Candy for breakfast? Charles, Charles, Charles... If you're a diehard CTFxC fan, you know about Alli's medical problems, but there's a link below if you want more info. What do you think? Should Charles go to Tennessee and leave Alli? It's easy to say no, stay Charles, but she is insisting he go and film his trip. I did like Alli's little makeup tutorial with Marley just before they went to the doctor's office. Alli in the car was histerical lol. "Are you guys PC gamers? There's this game called... oh do you know this song?" Those mini-huskies of his friend Scott were amazing. "Let's see Shay Carl do that with Malachi!" when he was holding the dog above his head. And here's yesterday's CTFxC vlog: It looks like Charles Trippy is almost ready for his trip to Tennessee that he mentioned last week - he and some other youtubers are heading to Tennessee and planning on doing some snowboarding, but he hasn't said ...

I was wondering about those stomach pains that Alli Speed had been talking about in previous CTFxC videos - I was thinking along the lines of maybe a stomach ulcer due to the stress of being in her final year at school, but watch the video for more information about her condition. It was good to see her released from the ER after the long wait to find out the results. Ovarian cysts are fairly common, though they can obviously be painful as you saw in today's video. Have to give Charles a thumbs up for sticking by his woman all day while she waited. I'm guessing she will have some minor surgery to get the cyst removed, but that will take some time to get it all arranged. I'm thinking all will be well, but you should continue sending good vibes and messages to her. Alli's Twitter account is @AlliSpeed if you aren't following her yet. After getting her home, Charles decided to brave the crowds and try to pick up a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops at a local store....

Charles Trippy starts today's CTFxC vlog with a stern warning not to fall for any phishing scams which is good advice - there's lots of people out there trying to scam you, so what you should do is send all your banking information to me at... yes, I'm kidding, but if you are approached online for your info, MAKE SURE IT'S LEGIT! And yes, that first shot of Alli when she wearing Charles' glasses made her look like a hot librarian lol. Something about a girl with big beautiful eyes who wears glasses... And loved the chinese firedrill at 2:45 where Alli and her dad ran around the car at the stoplight and then jumped back into their seats in the car. I haven't done that in years. If you saw that, would you do it? I am so going to do that when I get a chance. And that indoor golf simulator does look awesome like Charles says when they stop by to see his sister Melissa . That great painting that Charles points out is obviously from the movie Caddyshack (a ...

It looks like Alli's gonna get her head shaved - no, not shaved, just styled. Actually she does bare some resemblance to actress Zooey Deschanel with those bangs. It's also Alli's mom's birthday, so wish her a happy birthday - I don't have her Twitter account, so I can't point you in that direction lol. The also are trying to find Marley a new dog coat or "Fugu Jacket" as Charles calls it. You can also find a bunch of other dog jackets on Amazon and elsewhere. Later we see Team CTFxC playing beer pong against Alli's brother but it looks like papa Trippy is the secret weapon lol. What do you think about Charles' idea for a new t-shirt with the Dracula picture and the words " Real Vampires Don't Sparkle! "? I think it's a great idea. Also, right at the end, Charles asked what your opinion was on Justin Bieber - he seems to think that Bieber hasn't shown much appreciation for what YouTube has done for his career....

The tabulations are done, and the results are in. According to Rhett&Link 's website, the winners are: Team Beard! Congrats to Wheezy Waiter and his team of beardlovers who dethroned last year's champs, Shay Carl and the Shaytards Rebellionites. It turned out to be super-close. According to Rhett&Link, the number of Supernotes submitted by Team Beard was 18 less than Shay's team, although Wheezy's bunch won by a fair margin. Below are the full results: Rank Team 1 WheezyWaiter (Team Beard) 2 ShayCarl (ShayTard Rebellionites) 3 Shane Dawson (Team Shane) 4 LiveLavaLive (Project LavaNote) 5 MysteryGuitarMan (Team MGM) 6 Meekakitty (Team Stache) 7 VlogBrothers (Team Nerd) ) 8 iJustine (Team iJ) 9 RhettandLink (Team Mythical Beast) 10 Smosh (Team Smosh) 11 Charles & Alli (Team CTFxC) 12 DeStorm (Team DeStorm) 13 David Choi (Team D-Choi) 14 Brittani Louise Taylor (Team BLT) 15 WhatTheBuck?! (Team Buck) So ends the 2010 Supernote Contest - a big congrats ...

Charles is preparing to head over to Cape Canaveral to watch the latest Space Shuttle Discovery launch (likely on Friday November 5th at around 3pm) and poor Alli is wracked with tummy troubles. If you want, you can check Nasa's launch schedule . Charles also let us know that all the Internet Killed Television Theme Songs were downloadable from their website, so if you want those, just travel over to internetkilledtv.com. Alli is out and she runs into a girl that they met at the Weezer concert back in late January. If you haven't seen that video, you can watch it here: Charles and Alli go see Weezer . It's funny because while Alli is filming the girl, another girl spots the camera from behind her and freezes lol. Random stuff in these CTFxC videos that catch your attention. Charles was taking Zoe and Marley out for a walk but it started raining, so he put Marley in her little yellow rain slicker lol. He also uploaded a video to his iPhone channel on YouTube. You can...

That'll show Charles Trippy why you can't stay up for days on end! The opening shots were of Charles doing a faceplant in front of the camera. It was almost like a CTFxC 24-hour web cam and we just tuned in when Trippy was passed out. And it was good of him to give Alli a mulligan so early in the contest. If you don't know what the contest is, Alli has to go through the entire month of November without swearing and Charles has to go through the month sitting back and let his facial hair grow. If Charles goes through the month without shaving and if Alli swears (again, that is, lol), he can get a Google TV. If Alli can make it through the month without swearing, she will be able to get a new pair of jeans - probably an expensive pair I'm guessing. The reason why Charles was so sleep-deprived these last few days was because of the Rally in Washington they went to with his sister Melissa (there are posts on here about that). I think the best shot was where he was as...

Well, we got an explanation from Charles about why there was no CTFxC meetup like they had hoped at the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally Charles, Alli & Melissa were attending in Washington DC - there was a massive Internet blackout. No cell phones, no texting, no Internet - BIG fail on the part of the InterWebs, so although Charles Trippy had planned on telling everyone where he and the girls were, they couldn't, but it still looks like it was an awesome time. Loved all the signs and costumes they spotted in the crowd. And one dude found them and gave his YouTube channel - arandomkindofthing (go give Shane a shout out from CTFxC!). Of course there was also that total DB who interrupted them to make a snide comment about liberals and their skin. Alli TOTALLY called it right with that guy. And did you see the guy wearing the Rorschach mask? I half expected him to say " Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. " lol. Still the shots after dark were...

Looks like Charles Trippy will be heading over to Cape Canaveral later for the latest space launch, but first, Alli and Charles' sister Melissa go to Washington DC during the big Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally on October 30th. There was some talk of a mini- CTFxC gathering, but it looks like it was lost in the hoopla of the Stewart-Colbert party. Have to agree with uber-gay Michael with his assessment of Melissa being gorgous - she's always smiling too which is another of her attractive features. Hey, if you aren't subscribed to Melissa yet, her Youtube channel is mel and she now has over 53K subs! As far as Alli and Melissa's DC trip, it is always interesting to see all those monuments and buildings. I've never been there (yet), but I have always wanted to see Washington, the White House, Congress and the Smithsonion. Don't know why, but the Lincoln Memorial has always intrigued me - with a humongous Abraham Lincoln sitting in a chair staring down at...
