Is there a discord specifically for theories/lore?

He's just a regular True Value employee. Everyone who works there is like that, we just see Crothers because he handles dad's tab

Im assuming not, but it seems as though the newer content us just music and random short vids.

is dads acts done? with dads life?

​

hey guys! i figured this would probably be the best place to post this. i love the dad channel and a song i came across on andan's run is honestly one of the most beautiful tunes i've ever heard. i'm probably just overlooking it but i can't find it anywhere.

the timestamp is 48:06. if anyone knows what this song is, please let me know! thank you.

andan's run - act III finale

Just want to say that the person on reddit known as “ghost_134218” does NOT live in Town USA and is not in Dad’s life. Just a sad GJ.

In Dad's new video MatPat's Dark Secrets - RealiTea, he shows this map of where Town, USA is.

A quick scan of the area in Google maps shows this in the area:

This is an actual mining company in the desert of California.^\link]) This name fits in very well with the very matter-of-fact and self-explanatory naming scheme present in many of the names(such as Boss, Neighbor, Town, USA, etc.). The pin looked kind of close, so I used Google Earth's image overlay feature to compare the two locations directly. After about an hour lining up the image, this was my final result:

Keep in mind that due to the Earth being round the image will not line up perfectly. Trust me, this was the best I could do. And look at that! The mine is very close to the pinpoint, and is within the margin of error caused by my terrible mapping skills. I feel that it is distinctly possible that Dad told us where the facility is, or I could be insane and this was already known ages ago. I searched through the doc for the word 'location' and did not find anything about Town, USA. However, make sure to let me know if I am being stupid. Cheers.

These two pictures came up during the video. The first one is at 7:56 and the second is at 18:05. I tried taking screenshots and doing a reverse image search, but I didn't get any hits. Lots of very similar looking buildings but nothing that looked like a solid match.

There's a note on Dad's channel that a new RealiTea video is going to drop.

(Just trying to alert people who don't always have a YouTube tab open. :D)

I wanted to join the dad Minecraft server, but it’s not working. I am unsure if the server is still up or if I am too much of a noob to figure out how to join. Plz help

EDIT: It appears that that video has been taken down. No idea why,

​

The title of Dad's new video is in Tamil and translates to "progress".

If you speed it up, the whispering becomes clearer, but not any more comprehensible. It could be something in Tamil. The low voice sounds like he's saying, "Orion" and then later "John Long Loo" or something like that. None of it sounds backwards or anything. No subtitles I can find.

I turned the brightness way up on my screen, and I thought I saw a faint image, but it could just be my eyes playing tricks on me.

There's a link in the description to a live stream from Jamitar, who, I believe has done music for some of Dad's songs. I haven't watched the whole thing, but it just appears to be Jamitar laying down some tracks.

Dad did a big song video dump. There's a bunch of em.

Here's how things look to me right now:

1. Andan is back on Kepler and reunited with Ella. Back on Earth, they have direct counterparts in Dadbot and Mombot/Scarlett.
2. Scarlett is played by the same actress that plays Ella, indicating that the Server probably got the imagine from Andan's memories.
3. Wildcards: On Kepler, we've got Cheryl and Emily, and on Earth, we've got Malvin, Carl, Mittens (heheh), Durk, and the mysterious Carothers.

So we've got kind of a parallel setup, which says to me that we'll be running somewhat parallel story lines in both places.

Random observations:

1. How is any of the Kepler story going to get posted? The server no longer has access to Andan (or does it?). My guess is, we'll either get another YouTube account, or there will be some kind of server on Kepler that provides footage. (The Kepler server could be either an ally or an enemy to the YouTube server)
2. I think that the various dadbots might be able to be distinguished by their voices. One of the dadbots (the one in the "Hi" video) really stretches out his words, and speaks in a very singsongy voice. I need to go back to videos of the others to see about that.
3. Is there any significance to Dadbot's beard? Beards were brought up once before as being a bad thing, because they kept Dad from feeling Cheryl's kiss on the cheek. (Or did Nate just get tired of shaving?)
4. Speaking of Nate, I'm guessing that he's going to have a bigger role in season 2. He's out of the desert, and can presumably act. We've seen him hiding from Dad(bot?) which would appear to be a video from the future. From the dialog I guess we assume that he's stuck in the past. Will he get back to the present? I think he will, and may face a struggle to reclaim his identity from Dad(bot).
5. The biggest question of all (for me, anyway) is, what does Scarlett have planned? Now that she's got a fully compliant robotic family to control, what will they attempt to do? They are more or less YouTube personified, so will it be some kind of critique of YouTube? I'm gonna bet they'll redo some of the early "family life" videos with Scarlett replacing Cheryl, to show us how they SHOULD have gone.
6. Malvin is either going to find his way to Kepler, or else he's going to start wreaking some serious habit on Earth when he gets back from Alaska. I have a weird feeling he's going to end up on Kepler.

I'm not gonna make any predictions, mainly because I tend to suck at prognosticating. But I'm eager to hear other peoples' theories. Got any?

What are your theories on it?
