As a Chinese American, I need this huge dm screen to shield myself from my parents disappointment that I’m not a dentist.

Coffee and Wyrmlyfe. Good morning y'all!
Chinese take out: 8 dollars.
Tip: 2 dollars.
Getting home to find out they forgot part of your order…
Riceless.
Nice
Tip on takeout 🤔
@@Tclans It is a joke, but I actually do tip on take out. Not 20% but always something. Especially pizza since it goes straight to the prep and cooks.
Doug saying the C word while trying to talk about swearing less is the 2023 version of Ian walking by with a beer while Bobby gets criticized for club music and drinking montages
And that's why we love Wyrmlife. Never change!
This product was the definition of “You can copy my homework but change the answers so it looks different” to a T.
Look, if I saw this DM screen at a convention next to yours, and it was several hundred bucks cheaper... I would certainly consider it. The finishing touches Jason talks about are nice, but they're also the reason why it's cheaper. And from the other side of the table, it looks pretty much as nice as yours. I say this as someone who has a Wyrmwood DM screen.
China won the bronze medal in gymnastics at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, but were stripped of the medal after it was revealed that the gymnast Dong Fangxiao was under the minimum age of 16.
And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those medalling kids.
why is that a rule in the first place? Does the Olympics think that is child abuse? Are young people just naturally better then older people at gymnastics?
@@boringstuff1542 a heavy workout is not recommended for kids (would be hard to become a professional athlete without out that). so my guess is they don't want to promote it for this reason. Also if they allowed kids then there would be people abusing their kids for the chance of them getting to that level.
Non offensive, Dad style joke that incorporates Scooby Doo...... you have your winner right here lol.
best one
I was sooo excited to open up my new Wyrmwood DM screen. Turns out, I ordered the 'Wong' one.
I am an IP attorney, and it was refreshing to hear Jason get everything absolutely right!
Also, I can't speak for the UA-cam algorithm, but I don’t watch Wyrmlife around my kids because of the swearing and drugs even though I think they otherwise would really enjoy it.
I'm not an IP attorney but I was nodding my head while Jason explained it thinking, "This is my understanding why Taco Johns abandoned the trademark for 'Taco Tuesday' when Taco Bell sued. Taco Johns never defended the trademark when mom and pop Mexican restaurants used the phrase, so when Taco Bell demonstrated that it was willing to fight to use it, Taco Johns' attorneys quickly realized it was going to be a losing battle."
Drugs??
I need the throwback, bring Quinn to check out the GM Screen.
I love this idea!!
yes that would be awesome
They wouldnt want to work with WW after getting starched by Quinn lol.
@wyrmwood
I don't play DnD or any other board game for that matter... I've never been big on woodworking... I also haven't missed a single episode of Wyrmlyfe since mid season 1. Something about this just scratch an itch :D
A Chinese boss is hiring a new employee. He has his secretary bring him the stack of applications. When she does, he starts pulling out random ones and throwing them in the garbage. She asks him why and he says "I don't want to hire anyone who is unlucky."
Maybe he ends up being the unlucky one because he took off the best candidates that would have taken his business to the next level.
@@boringstuff1542 Maybe he was wearing black that day.
Dougies rant at the end suggests that there are no Aussies on UA-cam based on their friendly greeting.
oath
I asked ChatGPT to write me a tasteful Chinese joke, and this is what it came up with.
Certainly, here's a light-hearted and tasteful Chinese joke:
Why don't Chinese chefs ever get lost?
Because they always Wok in the right direction!
I'll give you a thumbs up for effort, but I must express my disapproval of the joke. Or I am stupid. Or both ^^
I think it's actually the unmonetized videos because of the music. Try monetizing it, playing by the rules, and see what happens
Doug thinks rules are made to be broken
@@jonduncan8010 not wrong. But it doesn't need to be child friendly, just advertiser friendly. UA-cam aren't going to go out of their way to push content that can't make them money, it's just common sense.
I think you are 100% correct. It isn't in YTs best interests to push unmonitized videos be they won't get their cut.
I remember several years ago I'd mentioned to my wife I wanted a Wrymwood dice tray but at the time we had a much tighter budget. She ends up getting me an Etsy knockoff for X-Mas which was super nice and thoughtful, and significantly cheaper. Cut to 2 months later when the weather/humidity changed and the tray warped so badly it basically destroyed itself. Wrymwood is more expensive because it's a quality product designed to last. You get what you pay for, simple as that.
Im NOT a gamer, in any form or fashion, but I absolutely LOVE watching you guys! As a crafter and someone trying to create my own business, I appreciate seeing how you have grown, and handle issues. The personalities are just a bonus!
Been a minute since the product reviews from back in the day, shame that table they used to do all the leadership meetings as has been kaput for years; nostalgic feel.
Edit: not a joke per se, but the idea that a company from a country that's infamous for stealing designs and copying them, badly, would have the balls to then contact you as though they weren't doing what they're doing, and then try to false flatter you into selling them the rights or whatever, at a price they'll probably do everything in their power to lowball you on, is a joke of the highest proportion.
I've missed these reviews man! I love seeing all the crazy knock offs out there.
Tesla is ranked at the top with issues/problems/quality for a vehicle, yet near the top of customer loyalty. The Kool-Aid is real.
Tesla suffers from the Jeep effect
Well said. And the benefits of Tesla ownership Doug listed are also why so many people are so annoyed by Tesla owners.
When I was looking for a new car 5 years ago all I wanted were two things good tech and electric. All the big brands had tiny screens with some store bought android interface and maybe one model that was electric that could go 100 miles. I love not having gauges, having one giant screen and being electric, now with gas at almost $6 a gallon saving me a $100 every fill up. Tesla has also been working on improving their build quality, while I would love to see more competitors in the electric vehicle market the big brands also have far to go but both Tesla and the big brands are trying to fix their weak points which in the end is good for the customers.
The Tesla highest-of-tech and cool factor is very real, not Kool-Aid. (It was actually grape Flavor Aid, by the way, but almost nobody knows that.)
I’m one of the European Backer of your Modular gaming table and I’m very very happy and proud of my purchase, but I received It in June 2023. This DM screen is available also in Amazon Europe and cost 599€, not cheap at all, but from my point of view, and I think of many other D&D addicted gamers, this chinese item is quite interesting for 3 basic reasons: 1) quality is not bad at all, surely not at your level, but better than expected, seen you video
2) It is ready to ship and available in 2/3 weeks
3) It is a one item ready-to-use solution with no needs of adding something else. I would like to purchase one of your DM screen, but for European market, this is quite a long way to the top…and taxes and duty do not help your journey! So please Wyrmwood think to a “all in a box” solution that could have a simple expense calculation and that it is ready to ship for you once the order is received! Thank you
Morning Wyrmlings!
How Long is a Chinese Name
No really it is!
Good morning
Unofficial Brief: I think the reason all the dimensions are oversized on the Chinese model is because they took a screencap with an American man for scale, but that man was Jason.
Official Brief: I'd send in a deck of gold leaf Bicycle cards. They'd be ugly, but at least then you'd have something to feed JV for sexy video shots.
Unrequested Third Thing: big fan of the channel, and even if we're only 100k strong, it's been a staple of my week since season 1. Keep up the great work!
Coffee and Daily Wyrmlife ep, great start to the morning!
Oooo I love this! I missed these!
I don't watch your content constantly, so when I do come back to watch I typically binge all the episodes I missed.
Not a gamer, but I’ve read the Dragon Lance books and love sci-fi. I’m also a hobby woodworker and I LOVE geeking out over your builds. More Crazy Ed and Bennet! They make awesome stuff!
Good Morning! As a Rhode Islander it's great to see a local business flourishing!
I’d tell you a Chinese joke but it’s wong.
I watch you guys like a series. It's hard to begin from s14 e59 of a series. Think about creating one more format without series structure. For example "how it was created" or "Mad Ed adventure" so new folk could watch it without feeling like they are missing something.
Agreed. You need stand alone episodes that are a great access point, are fully monetizeable so UA-cam has a monetary reason to push it to other users, provide a taste of what the rest of the channel is about, and that have a bit of a tease on some larger project they’ll want to subscribe to see more of
They could do more studio quality competitor unboxings/reviews instead of the informal ones they've done.
It would be interesting to watch them pick apart the craftsmanship and honestly review other products.
LOL! Excellent work! This was an interesting business conversation.
Happy Tuesday Wyrmlings!
Yes! I absolutely love these types of episodes.
Thank you for this fun video
Amazing at how people copy
Do you call it a compliment?
I debated at one point in grad school on taking the CAD plans you guys had on your website years ago and really taking my time to make a tabletop tray and use our CNC to make the dice vault out of scrap. I decided against sending something in and made a tray using different joinery methods on the corners for an advanced carpentry course.
Bobby is right. There is an INFINITE number of people who can be interested in this content daily. Shit, I'm from france and i enjoy it.
Keep
It
Coming
Thanks :D
I always wondered...wasn't the dice tower something Gerard Boom / shifting lands came up with a looooooong time ago? With the descending steps for the dice to roll down.
I love that the illuminati gag had a chance to come back with this throwback.
Commenting here to help with the algo! Love the content!
You should do a woodworking miniseries for beginner woodworkers. Maybe 5 - 10 episodes going over the most basic woodworking principles, wood species, safety, and process. Maybe do a project video where you explain each step. Something realistic that would be educational and you tube will push that to the sky
Yeah, a build along :D And the people of the interwebs all end up with the same, cool thing when done. I'd like Crazy Ed, please!
if you go back and watch the "mathew Mercer DM screen" video Jason builds it and its decently in-depth imo
@@ChrisBigBad yes this! And then if we could all build the same thing and submit photos have wyrmlife episode where they show them
I sent in a LED resin dice tower and never got feedback. Would be nice to hear from you.
What to send for evaluation? If I had the shop space to make it, I had designed a electronic dice back in the '80s I'd build it and send it for eval.
Why did the Chinese woodworker always have a smile on his face?
Because he found the key to making every problem just plane simple!
Banging song - took me right back to my teen years in the 80s.
So what is the hold up leading to all the inventory on hand waiting to ship to customers? It sounded like many of the orders were waiting on one or two things to finally ship. Is it a production issue or a rogue supplier?
Did we ever hear who the winners were for the german jokes and the Crazy Ed compliments?
DM and Player Dice Tray/vault I designed holds multiple dice, figures, 35mm dice, leather rolling area. made for gem stone dice.
A retired musician spent much of his life touring the world, during which he fell in love with Chinese cuisine. Upon retirement, he decided to open a restaurant, specializing in tradition Chinese dishes, but also other sandwiches from around the world: Arepa, banh mi, gyro, croque monsieur, etc. When it came time to name his restaurant, there was really only one option: Wok & Roll!
We just got our table. I keep talking to it, much like Bob from Bob’s Burgers talks to his turkeys. It’s beautiful.
I purchased the Critical Role Cherry Dice Vault, and the product's tactile feel, smell, and overall look is the best luxury container I own for my dice. I love it and will become a treasured family heirloom. I can't say, based on what has been shown, that I'd get the same feelings from the Chinese manufacturer's products.
I would send in my personal crafting projects to get evaluated!
I always enjoyed seeing you review terrible competition, and all agree on how bad it is.
Id like to know what the price difference between that and the wyrmwood version of it is.
I buy wyrmwood for the calendars.
Mr August! Doug is working it!
I would totally send you my game journals to review. Also, Kung Pow Chicken.
There's a gaming table kickstarter going on (or just finished?) Might be interesting to look at that. They're not going the luxury furniture route.
Contract manufacturing within wyrmwood specs would be a way forward especially for markets you're having issues with.
You guys are going about this all Wong. You should send a fortune cookie along with the GM screen to the winner.
About the viewer numbers: if the algorithm isn't working for you but you have an audience, then ask your audience to spread the word. Passionate Wyrmlings (all of you reading this) should definitely talk about this channel when you get a chance. Even if everyone suggested viewing one episode (pick the explosive table one) then that number would definitely go up by 1k.
Spicy channel? You guys have mellowed out in your old age.
I'd never send it in because it was a gift for my wife, but for my first real attempt at hand carving I made a fountain pen for my wife. Purely decorative, nonfunctional, 100% maple and finished with gold wire accents. It was fun!
Was that a Group X Cereal Bawks reference at the beginning? 😂
Best show on UA-cam
What would I send in for review? My idea for the best MGT accessory for TTRPGs.
Wyrmwood and top of the morning coffee colab? Wyrmwood coffee mugs?
How long is Bobby's residency at the Las Vegas Sphere? (Asking for a friend)
dam sounds like we gettin an official wyrmwood PH account for all the spicy woodworking XD
I'd love to see Wyrmwood expand onto other platforms like LMG's Floatplane. I'm sure a lot of people, including myself, would pay a subscription to get things like extended cut videos. I would love an episode that includes 30 minutes of Doug tangents that got cut from the UA-cam version.
I recently got my Wyrmwood GM Screen and believe it or not, one acryl plate was missing a magnet... Contacted customer support and they offered to replace the whole panel. I declined as shipping to EU is expensive and that would bei more expensive that the panel itself. Also, the product ist working even with a magnet missing so I felt fine sparing Wyrmwood the shipping costs. Felt very appreciated though.
Subscribers don't matter as much anymore. The algorithm knows the people who like your videos and feeds it to them.
I think it would be a cool review to buy dice boxes and vaults from like 10 smaller etsy creators to promote their art, and then have the wyrmlings pick one to feature for a collab.
Please god have random people review this next to yours!
You'll get so many views and it'd be so fun to see. And great commercial for how much better you are!
PLS❤
A man had fallen off his ladder, landing on his side. Despite this, when the scans came back onless his patella was broken. The mans chinese doctor told him this, to which the man asked "Knee? How?", and the doctor said "oh, Ni hao"
Gotta say i hope they keep this video format for times to come.
What did the Chinese company respond when informed about international “copyright” laws?
“Yes, we copy, allright?”
Why do commercial building owners love to lease their space to Chinese restaurants?
Because they are “lo mein” tenants
Q: What has 2 wings and a halo? A: A Chinese telephone, Wing-wing, halo
What kind of music did they play at the Elvis-themed Chinese restaurant?
Wok and roll
Could their screens be bigger due to A4 paper size vs the standard American Letter size? I’m not from the US but guessing that could be the reason.
Good morning, Wyrmlings.
i actually like that the screens are bigger. could always use more real estate as a DM
I watch it every day, I immediately stop my whole life and watch it.
Damn the algorithm!!! Just allow Doug to be spicy!
Bobby, there's at best 8 birrion potential subscribers. Definitery not infinite.
How do you say virgin in Chinese?
Tuyong. (too young).
I would send in my Lego minifig human scale accessories. Like the Castle Sword n Shield with Wyrmwood logo.
To Jason's point, I think he is right. Those small touches do make their product better. I think the average person who is unaware of woodworking wouldn't know WHY it is better, but they would be able to say one is better than the other. The issue is you don't usually get the chance to make a comparison, and the other product isn't inherently bad so people will buy the other product and be perfectly fine and happy.
I would send in the worst woodworking you’ve ever seen. Maybe my old cub scouts race car.😂
Can we say that Wyrmwood is the Apple of Wood working in terms of ecosystem and high-end look and feel
The best Chinese joke is not even a joke it's just a history story. An assassin came to kill the Emperor. He managed to actually catch him alone. The Emperor ran to the other side of a pillar. The assassin chased the Emperor and they both kept running around this one pillar for hours. Eventually the assassin either got too tired or just realized how silly the whole thing was and went home.

Guys this what I mean by Copyright, Trademark and IP your products, because it puts other companies in a bind when they want to make the same product. I would work for Wyrmwood as part of the Australian branch
what do you call a chinese man in space??........umm...an astronaut, love the vlogs keep it up guys!
"Yes. :3" In our house, we call that 'a look of mayhem' in his eye'.
Sending a shipping container full of Wyrmwood products to China should be easy, you have several of them already loaded up in Pennsylvania!
I bought a Wyrmwood screen because its a quality product made by skilled craftspeople who deserve to be paid. I made the decision to spend my money on something that deserved a permanent place in my home and could be handed down as a keepsake. I had an issue with one panel not matching the others and it was immediately corrected with zero questions or push back. Frankly, they were under no obligation to do so. That right there affirmed my trust in the brand - I am a repeat customer and will continue to be one because of that.
I don't care if a knockoff exists, is vastly cheaper and is readily available in a booth right next to Wyrmwood's booth - I'm not touching that trash.
Fun fact, the magnifying glass was invented by the Chinese. The inventor's name you ask?....Tzu Minh.
Don’t worry about marking your videos as not safe for children if you DID mark it for them your video would only play on UA-cam Kids mainly due to changes in how that works because of trolls. It would actually lower your performance. Genuinely, if you guys want a BOOM of growth I’d focus on UA-cam shorts specifically doing atleast 5 a day
Long time viewer & fan. Always open to talk more!
ChatGPT helped write this
Sure, here's a lighthearted Chinese joke:
Why did the Chinese chef get an award?
Because he had the wok-king ability to stir up some amazing dishes!
How long does it take to brew Chinese tea?
Oolong time
Yall could post to the orange and black lol
I see Jason's huffing that copium again
We need to give this GM screen to the government so we can finish building the wall, good lord that is huge. I would send a budget EDH treefolk typal/tribal decklist in trade.
What does the Easter Bunny order at a Chinese restaurant?
Hop suey!
