Hi I love all of your changes so much ❤️
EvanAndKatelyn This was a cool project keep training her I have hope she will use it a lot😁
WHAT MASK IS KATELYN USING? THE STRAPS ON MY M2 ARE LIKE EVANS AND DONT FIT MY GIRLFRIEND SHE NEEDS SOMETHING LIKE YOURS! OR DID YOU SEW THAT STRAP SETUP?
I love u
Ken you make a cat play ground in side
Her little meow when they gave her the “ham” MY HEART 🥺
What!! this ball are of a cat???
(20:04) it's so wholesome!!!
It's like ponyo
Joob just sitting on Katelyn's lap at the beginning and just little tongue _blep_ , absolutely precious!!
Bleps are obviously superior to all other pet tongue positions and nobody can change that.
@@alexkitty149 ok but its still very cute
@@malgorzataszydlowska61 Yes. This is why it is the best thing ever.
Why was “HEAYYYYYYMMMMMMM!” And then joobie meowing in happiness so cute and wholesome 😖
Can I have a time stamp pls
@@homestuckaddict 20:02 and 20:55
Vacay life is garbage
so freaking wholesome
My cat responded to me squeaking/screaming hyammm
Evan and Katelyn: Joob, you want some turkey?
Joob: *sees nothing, hears nothing*
Evan and Katelyn: Joob, you want some HEEEEEAAAAAAMMMMMM?
Joob: *excited squeaking*
YEASSSSS, HEAMMMMMMM
😂,HEEAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM
Ham! Ham!
HEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAMMMMM
HAMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Not gonna lie, the “one sleep later” shirt transition really blew my mind.
😄❤️
They tricked me
@@EvanAndKatelyn It was a good way to show da merch
Time stamp pls
Me too
Anyone agree that these two are the epitome of chaotic good? Because that’s the vibes I’m getting from them. On a more feline note, hearing Joob purr was gorgeous. A beautiful floofy black cat (my favourite, I love black cats) with the cutest purrs.
Oh I am so happy! I have wanted to see the “ham call” ever since you mentioned it on a stream or podcast a few months ago. I know last week I said that the toast coaster video was one of the best, but this just blows it out of the water. Wholesome, funny, adorable. Especially the ads. The way you did the intro and the ad spot was just incredible and made me so happy! I can’t wait to show my father this video!
haha the ham call is the most effective Supurrvisor tactic! She never refuses ham! So glad you liked the video 😊❤️
Thats the cutest thing that I've seen in a long time 😱😍
Are you saying that... Ur father will hear about this. #harrypotter
@@dalig8428 IS THAT A THREAT?!
@@EvanAndKatelyn joobie lovvveeesssss
HAAMMMM!
Supurrvisor: **will only use it as long as you feed me ham**
Also, that means this is a HAMster wheel. «groan»
OMG YOU'RE RIGHT
Hahaha this comment literally made me laugh out loud 😂
hahahahhahahahahhahahahahaha
So true. Well played, sir!
HAH!
The way joobie chirps when you say ham lol. She's so cute
"This is a giant thing, if she doesn't use this, what are we going to do with it?"
The correct answer obviously is, "Put Evan inside it and spin him." 😅
weeeEEEEEeEEEeeeeEEeeee!
Or Katelyn
Ember Art - Abstract Painting i said make it into a cool table that can lightup on the inside with glass/resin covering the lights
I thought coffee table
@@pawpaw7363 it would be a little easier for Katelyn to use
19:59 HER RESPONSE TO THE HAM CALL IM SOBBING
By Emily, wish you could take a look my Leonnie Cat's video too 🐾 :-)
Can we just appreciate how they spend so much time and effort on this to make their cat happy?
The "ham call" is the cutest thing I've ever heard!! Jubie so cute!!! 💖
the ham call is 100% effective!
@@EvanAndKatelyn Is the ham call from Ponyo, or is it unrelatedly very similar?
20:00
The little sounds she made after the call made me absolutely melt!
"We want white aluminum flashing. But it's only white on one side. So were going to do two layers."
*proceeds to cover the inside with carpet*
Lol..... yep.
But the double flashing is stronger.
Well a little bit of the inside is shown
the white was for the outside, it was inside just because of how the thing was rolled up
@@zzellama watch the video again. They even said they were going to use two pieces because it was only white on one side.
Gail Adie ? i know that’s what i was agreeing with
Absolutely loving the fact that these two practice the PEAK level of safety in their videos!! THANK YOU, GUYS. It's a very very important practice and I'm glad you guys are being good role models by demonstrating that.
I think my favorite part about this video is how cat-like Evan and Katelyn are. Like the whole video is them hearing an odd sound and then curious/scared investigating of it, which is amazing
We need this as a series “Serving Supervisor ” I don’t particularly like cats but I love how much you shower your cat with love.
HailMe no matter how much you don’t like cats joob will be an exception
Hahaha yes, the ongoing quest to impress our cat!
You don't like cats?!?!? D:
Ricecakes Animations oh no No I Love cats my family and I have an ongoing family tree of cats we’ve had since 15 years even though most of us are allergic including me, the stray street cats come into our backyard and now we just adopt cats we just amalgamated very cat in a 5 mile radius into one family
Ricecakes Animations no. Cats are cute I just don’t ever want one as a pet. I’m a dog person. I prefer companion animals.
19:52 this is the cutest most wholesome thing ive seen all day.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM!"
This caught me off guard, I just kept rewinding that part because it was so cute. 😂 Joob is having the time of her life!
Havocarius 20:02 for you
i loved that part so much
*tiny ham squeaking noises*
me: *dies*
Diane Dunn yep! Lol I’ll probably rewatch the ham squeaks 🥰
her ham squeaks give us life
Yes just yes
20:00
I rewatched it like 50 times
I love the cute meow it’s like she’s saying ham
*she is saying ham. You can not deny it.*
Evan and katelyn are the equivalent of, “we have it at home” but in the best way possible
Alex Jamison “can we get a scratching post?”
“We have one at home”
Scratching post at home: *catcus*
"Can we get a hamster wheel for our cat?"
"We have it at home."
Cat hamster wheel at home: this.
Alex Jamison why?
Someone in a stream said they made the “haaaaym” call their ringtone, and I figured out how to do it also!
Hahaha omg that is awesome
How. Tell me. Now
Lol that’s AWESOME
???what?I'm confused
This is only my second video
The wheel and the ham complement each other perfectly. You could say it's the gym and yum
"If she doesn't use this what are we gonna do with it?!"
Sell it.
They can make a table from it
Idk meeeeeeh maybe uuuhhhhhh idk 😐
@@balvo9018 They *could,* but selling it would be the better option. The wheel looks pretty well made, so it would definitely prove its use for another owner whose cat/small dog would benefit from it.
Besides, Joob seems to be adapting to the wheel pretty quickly, so I don't think it's gonna be either one of those options anytime soon.
I would convert it into a chair
I’d buy it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I dunno why but to me they sound like parents gushing over their baby's first steps
xD
In a way that is what’s happening 😂
Great isn't it?
Oh my god my cat is not the only one that sticks her tongue out and just chills like that. And wants love when I’m working
Actually, a lot of cats do that! It's called a "Blep"
When cats stick out their tongue un knowingly
This was like trying to get a Tupperware lid to fit on a container when it’s just not quite the right size 😂
haha yes exactly!
Ryan Fremeau
Relatable 😂
"Burping" Tupperware. It is a thing.
When Evan asked: "what is my purpose?" , all I could think about was "You pass butter."
You beat me to it
Pass?
Saameee 😂😂
I love this whole video. Not just the clever making of a great big thing, but the obvious affection between all three of you. I've watched your other cat-making videos, but notice you've not made a cat-wall or climbing tree and knowing how much my cats love to climb, and to sit on high places to watch the world go by, I'm surprised the Supurrvisor hasn't instructed you to build something like this for her. Could it be a future project?
“Did you forget what your purpose is?” = me every time I enter a room
Melissa K
Yes. Especially at school
Haha that's a real thing that people have studied, called the "doorway effect"! Quote from some random article I found: "Psychologists believe that passing through a doorway and entering a different room creates a ‘mental block’ in the brain, which means that walking through open doors resets the memory to make room for the creation of a new episode. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect."
@@EvanAndKatelyn information I didn't want, but needed.
I have ADHD. This is basically my life. Sometimes have to go back to where I started to regain the thought and retry going into the other room several times before it stays.
@@EvanAndKatelyn A new episode? That makes it sounds more like the Netflix effect. ("What episode was I on again, did I finish the season yet?")
Turkey: *Exists*
Katelyn: Ham, take it or leave it
Honestly, I’m just imagining Joob just hanging on the top of it then spinning non stop 😂
"Flimsy + Flimsy + Flimsy = Good"
~Evan, 2020
Yes 🤣 Engineering FTW! - Evan 2020
THE PERFECT T-SHIRT CAPTION HAS BEEN FOUND
those joob squeaks cleared my skin, filed my taxes, raised my grades, and cured my depression
squeaks for all!
For some reason saying this in that voice got me laughing:
20:22 Joobie loves ham! ⁱᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵗᵘʳᵏᵉʸ Joobie thinks it's ham!
Them: we don’t know if our cat will actually want or use this
Also them: is oblivious to the sign that their cat clearly wrote out for them saying “hoomans make dis” smh
Lily Mai oh boi somebody’s gonna got woodshed
Use three, I LOVE YOU PICTURE THINGY
@User Three r/wooooosh. It was meant to be a joke
@@alis_stairs2270 r/wooooooooosh uhh they were saying that someone isn't gonna get the joke not that they didn't understand it
@Sneha N. I know I was just making a joke about how people will r/wooooosh anything
Instead of the "Woooooow" sound you use, please change it out for "haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam" sometimes. Also, it was fun to see the Supervisor so animated. Hamnimated?
bahahaha! that would be hilarious (and very confusing to most people which makes it even more hilarious!)
0:01 I have that exact same cat pillow.
Katelyn: we say it is ham but it really is turkey
Joob: my life is a lie
shhh don't tell her!
Adam savage on tested did a video where he helped improve someone’s commercial made one.
Skate style wheels would make a big difference in terms of sound and spin resistance.
that was way back though.
could also experiment with cruiser skate wheels for stability
Had a wheel break on our One Fast Cat. Replaced that side's wheels with skate wheels on all thread. Not near as good as Adam's fix, but it does sound quieter.
Now to try the sticky carpet squares. One of our cats, who doesn't use the wheel, has been clawing up the old foam pads.
I couldn’t agree more! The skate board wheels have much better bearings which would drop the rolling resistance substantially.
Would also lower the sound level as well.
I spend almost the whole video wondering if they'd seen Adams improvements and hoping they'd do something similar for their design. Then I saw the cheap castor wheels...
Katelyn: well need a cat sized hamster ball
Evan: coming soon
Katelyn: no
The Epoxy: You have to work fast before I start curing!!
Also Epoxy: but you have to wait for hours until I am ready >:)
Hi anabella, wish you would visit my Leonnie Cat's videos too :-)
I hate you,Epoxy!
0:46 Leaving this here for myself in the event I need a quick Joob fix of that adorable face. You guys did great! :D
that little blep!
I love the chemistry between these two. Evelyn is so much like a nerdy kid, it's wonderful to watch. The two of them could have their kids entertainment show. Being a big kid myself, I might just watch it! 😄
Katelyn: if she doesn't like it, what will we do with it?
Me: donate it to a local animal shelter?
Me: what do you want?
My cat: w a n t
Me: yes, but what?
My cat: W A N T
🐱: want!
*WANT*
EvanAndKatelyn I can’t believe that you are teaching your cat turkey is ham enexeptable
I know this video is 4 years old, but this is the only channel where I never fast forward through the sponsor ads and I’m happy to see how consistently good they’ve been for years 😂
20:03 I literally *DIED* of cuteness The most adorable call ever !
Ik right adorable
No body:
Absolutely no body:
My heart when they say ham: 20:04
*or for picture reference, a melting heart popsicle or happy cat*
Also the ham call is the single cutest thing ever!
Also, also, also... I LOVE Evan and how cheerful his face is immediately after Jobe responds to ham.
Evan and Katelyn, my name is Jamil and I'm from Brasília - Brazil. I researched a lot for a model of Cat Wheel, and yours was the best and simplest of them. I was thinking of doing something similar, but seeing a tested model is much better. I loved you both and I had a lot of fun with the video. Congratulations on the video and the joy shown.
I have to admit, as interested as I am in the content I anxiously anticipate the cat dialog the most. Absolute genius! I love it so much!
Evan: *gets very smoll piece of tape*
Katelyn: you need more than that
Evan: nonono this is good
tape 10 seconds later: *falls off*
Smol tape: 👁💧👄💧👁
Technically, this is infinitely more expensive for me to make because I don’t have a workshop with power tools. It looks really cool and your cat is so cute.
I saw the Instagram comment of a giant hamster wheel. Now that I'm looking at the title I regret thinking, yeah no way that's true. But it is... 😶 I did not see this coming. Now I want a cat.
hehehe, don't worry I think most logical humans would not build a giant hamster wheel
@@EvanAndKatelyn no only weird people would think that's not right but normal cat people think everyone should do it
@@pawpaw7363 Or think that if they are NOT capable of making it, that they should hire people like Evan and Katelyn to do it for them! 😸😻
So I just realized why I watch this show, I’m not really learning anything new, but I’m utterly addicted to these two acting goofy through all the episodes, I love it and am amazed because I could never do this. You guys are great
P.S. can’t believe you built that huge thing based on the potential whims of a cat, that’s insane lol, and awesome
Seeing you two love a little kitty this much is the sweetest thing. You both are so joyful and positive. ❤️
20:04 AAAAA MY HEART OMG SO PURE
❤️😸❤️
Friend: Are you a cat or dog person
Me when I’m a functional member of society:
Edit:
20:00 is so cute I can die happy
we love Joob's reaction to the ham call!
Cat: *Epic silence of WANT*
Minutes later
Cat: *no*
Me: *sees that evan and katelyn posted a video*
also me: *FURIOUSLY CLICKS*
OOOOO A DIY THING
Yes, this is a diy channel
Joob: bored
Even and Katelyn: HEEEEAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM
Joob: ham! ham!
For whatever reason, there's a Google translate option on your comment that translates 'Joob' into 'drinks' 🤣
@@Shreya_Springs TRUE LMAO
@@Shreya_Springs on mine it just takes a way one M on HEEEEAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM
@@Shreya_Springs mine translates’joob’ into ‘job’ 😂
When Katelyn asked "What are you saying about my cut?"
Evan should have responded with "I like your cut G."
4:50
"we'll clean it up" is the same as film students saying "ill just fix it in post"
It's a testament to what effect good blend of editing and music has, because immediately at 12:15, I knew something was wrong even before Evan started talking. Or is that because I watch you guys too much? Haha either ways, GOOD JOB. Can't wait to see more Joob running on her hamster wheel.
Haha, thank you!
I love how you do like everything for your cat it’s like living the dream
This needs to be a shirt “if it does not work put resin on it” or something like that
“Want”
"Hai Nerds"
"waaaaaannnt"
Y’all are adorable. I’d love to make this for my Jensen. But I’ll probably end up paying way too much for one. We’re old here. I love that you guys love what you’re doing. That you do it together. And that you love sweet Joob. Awesomeness y’all.
No one:
No one, ever:
Joob: *W A N T*
No one ever?
Phil Nolan That is the question
Whenever you both say “haaaam!” It reminds me of Ponyo 😂
Haha that's where we got it from! Love us some Hayao Miyazaki & Studio Ghibli
EvanAndKatelyn ghibli is the best! So glad it’s on Netflix
Don't forget to take the battery out before you interact with the router, and try to use the wrench that came with it because the adjustable will wear it out quicker.
Great build thanks for the vid! :D
Evan: What is my purpose?
Me: That man is the smartest thing I've seen all day
😂❤️
Me seeing the picture: Wood structure entirely static and the running band on a lot of ball bearings?
E&K: A wheel on wheels!
Me: Oh, that makes sense, actually!
Evan: apologizes for his painful pun
Katelyn: proceeds to make puns that pierce my soul
me: halp
Don’t use casters, use longboard wheels. They have better bearings and some tend to be made of a softer material.
Some Reds bearings!
love the project! but i would switch out the wheels for some with good bearing i.e. skateboard or rolleblades.
The rubber wheels and sealed bearings would make it roll smoother and make it a bit quieter. Just an idea though
Keep up the awesome content and thanks for the entertainment!
Parents squealing over a their toddler's first steps? NAH! cat parents squealing over their little void using a cat furniture is where the serotonin is really at!
0:46 marks the exact moment I died of cuteness
I've never clicked on this so fast in my life. I will stop doing ANYTHING to watch a video for the supervisor (':
Her Royal Catness appreciates your loyalty 😺👑
What an EPIC profile picture
Kitten and what an EPIC name to fit the theme 😎
Joob is so cute with her little ham squeaks 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Joob: *adorable ham squeaks*
My heart: *Melts* Awwwwwwww 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
We call chicken “cheeekón” for my dogs so they don’t bother us when we’re talking about chicken for us humans lol
Try other languages. For example, in Spanish it's "pollo", which isn't remotely close to chicken.
The ' one sleep later ' shirt is SO MAGICAL ( like resin)
Evan and Katelyn: Catio
Me:OK why not
E and K: Catcus
Me: Wow
E and K: Cat-hamster wheel
Me: This is what I need in my life!!!
I’ve been binge watching their videos for two days straight my boyfriend keeps denying me of the cute cat crafts 😭
That is a tragedy beyond compare, everyone needs excessive cat stuff
It’s ya girl Deij DIVORCE!!!(jk😹)
That is why I showed my boyfriend the catcus build first. His cat loves to scratch things, so I know he would be interested in it. Now when I send him other stuff hes not fully against it.
Lol😂😂
Aww, I hope he'll give in one day
Awww, dat tongue!
As an aside, an oversized dovetailed rail running along the Centreline of the base with a rail on the wheel that locks in. You could just use strips of polished lead flashing as a bearing surface where the dovetail meets the rail. Sorta like a rollercoaster, where the wheels lock under.
I don’t think that I’ve ever been this early for a video ever, love your cat she’s precious
This is my favorite E&K video EVER!
“I’m a star, I’m on top, somebody bring me some HHHHAAAAAAAMMMM!” -Joob
haha thank you!
katelyn: “Joobie looooves.. ham!”
Joobie: “ham! ham!”
evan: *dies of cuteness*
The music around the 15 minute mark reminds me so much of Overcooked, and it definitely matched the stress that both create.
Katelyn: *skritchy skritchy*
Joob: *mleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem*
Katelyn:*stops skritching to work*
Joob: *mle...huh* skritch me
10000000000000/10 best supurrvisor
That's pretty much how it goes
Yes. My cat, when he’s cuddling with me, he does a mlem. :3
Make a feeder on a stand that suspends the treat just high enough that the cat has to shift its weight on the wheel to access the treat, causing the wheel to turn. Then when you walk away, the cat can no longer anticipate that you will just give them the treat. The cat will then do what it takes to get the treat by its own agency.
I just love the image of them, standing behind the wheel. ^^
And wow, the finished wheel looks beautyfull! Especialy with the supervisor inside ♥️
Thank you!
Maybe skateboard wheels using bearings would be smoother.
Given the cost of these wheels though a fantastic job. 👍
Garf Stiglz Adam savage rebuilt one of these and that is what he did because they are wheels with roller bearings. He also added side wheels to keep it centered. The bearing wheels squeak less also.
0:46 Omg little derpy Joob too cute to handle 😍😱
This made me smile like crazy especially when you guys were so proud of her for taking a few steps on it 😻😻
😸❤️❤️❤️❤️
Supurrvisor: *W A N T*
English teachers: now this represents the state of the economy in the 1900s
I can’t get over the ham call and reaction it’s so cute
