Something interesting about the whole "taxation without representation" thing is that at the time, the dominant definition of "representation" in the British Parliament was that of "virtual representation," which essentially held that every member of Parliament was representing every citizen of the British Empire all at once. The North American colonists developed their own definition of representation, direct representation, which is the one that we're all familiar with today. Instead of each chosen representative representing ALL citizens, they would only be representing a given region, whether that be a town, a county, a general area, a defined district, etc. When the colonials made the complaint to Parliament that they were being taxed without any representation, Parliament disagreed because they thought they WERE representing the colonies. This difference in definition of representation is one of the main things that pushed the rift wider between the British government and the North American colonies.

My 5th and 6th great grandfathers fought in the American revolution. My 5th great grandfather was taken as a prisoner of war up in Quebec City and was almost traded back in a prisoner exchange. He ended up giving up his spot for another solider to go back home. He ended up passing as a prisoner, but I could not be prouder of his sacrifice to that man he let go. The man that was freed gave a good enough description that his wife found out of his passing.

Now this is a throwback!

As a bostonian, "the shot heard round the world ", was a metaphor that america would no longer accept britains rule of a king. We had rights that he could no longer take away from us. If you go to Lexington Massachusetts you can still see a musket ball hole in the door of a pub when the shooting started. The battle of Lexington and Cncord is the first first place Britain tried to militarily force us to their will. It's a gorgeous part of Massachusetts where they reenact the battle, red coats and militia. Its where you learn how the story unfolded. Texas is cool, but the birth of a nation began here

Paul Revere never said, "The British are coming." What he actually said was "The regulars are coming" because saying the British are coming would be foolish because the rebels still thought of themselves as British subjects at that time.

Taxation without representation. That's the main reason the Colonists rebelled. We had fewer rights than other British citizens and taxes kept increasing. Parliament and the King ignored our problems and just taxed us more whenever we petitioned them for anything at all. If we had been treated like British citizens and had representation in Parliament, we would still be a part of the UK today.

Since you had to move this. Thought you'd find it interesting that back on December 16,2023. It was the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. There was a reenactment. Countries from all over sent loose leaf tea in trunks. Including tea from The East India Company. Just so we could throw it into the harbor again. 😂 Give that adorable Archie a smooch on his little cheeks for all of us!! ❤😊

Mad King George would never co-sign anything the colonists wanted, no matter how long they begged for it.

Fun fact, yes the americans militia was poorly trained however what led to thier wins against british. Included they used their terrain advantage, hit and run tactics which was very successfull in the woods. Also they got training from native americans who kept knowledge of their long history of superior close and mid combat abilities

The Declaration of Independence is the best depiction of the situation.

Americans still like tea we just have so many other options.

Beesley's rule they can't stop this train we will help y'all get through this

It would have happened eventually. The tension had been building up for years. In fact, an entire generation had grown up with the tension by the time we got to Lexington and Concord.

I always heard, Paul Reveres' famous warning during his Midnight Ride of April 18,1775 was, "The Redcoats are coming" which I think sounds far cooler than the Regulars! 🤣

The Americans were seasoned in Indian Warfare, they were also good shots because they hunted game. They had rifled barrel muskets.

Boston massacre: John Adams the 2nd president defended the British soldiers at trial. Knowing they deserved a fair trial and that it wasn't a fair situation.

Most of the Native Americans died not from fighting against Europeans or the fledgling USA, but from disease. People originating in Europe had gradually built up some level of immunity to various diseases, but the Native Americans had never been exposed to those diseases and what might make a European slightly ill was often fatal to a Native American.

Think of the Revolutionary War this way, this is Britain’s civil war. We weren’t Americans yet. Our Founding Fathers, British! I am 50% English. My ancestors came over from England in the late 1700’s. And I drink couple cups of hot tea every morning. I do not like coffee. Just tea!

Glad you got a backup channel.

An ancestor on my Mother’s Father’s side was one of the signers of the US Constitution. 😊

One thing Britain did better than anyone else was creating the most "Independence Days" around the world. Thanks! 😝

What amazes me about you guys not learning about the American revolution is that it started a chain of revolutions that started in France and then all through South America. Basically what happened here changed the world.

Yes, we (US) stopped drinking tea after this. If you drank tea at this time, people thought you were on the side of the British. So that is how coffee became our beverage!

Part of the reason for the early success of the colonial forces was one major difference in tactics. They military strategy for the time was to line up in ranks and advance while putting out what was called volley fire. The colonial forces would hold back and pick individual targets to shoot. This created more life threatening injuries to the British than the volley fire would cause. Then the colonists really started fighting dirty by using hunters who had a high skill for killing shots to target the British officers. This was considered to be almost a war crime but really caused chaos on the battlefield when the leaders of the troops were getting killed.

Let's be honest, at its core, EVERYTHING done in History "is about how much MONEY they could get"! (In ONE form or another)

It wasn't all that bad in the South until the British decided to PO the Ulster Scotts on the Western frontier. They had grown up fighting Native Americans, and their fathers grew up fighting the Irish. They climbed up the trees and shot all the fancy uniforms on the horses...the comments written by British officers at the time are pretty hilarious. Quoted from other sources... British Commander-in-Chief Sir Henry Clinton lamented the Battle of Kings Mountain was "the first link in a chain of evils that followed each other in regular succession until they at last ended in the total loss of America." Translation...The Over Mountain Men whopped us good.

EDIT: Having tead that videos are being moved from the main channel to this contingency channel, I now have to say that I hope things get sorted out with the main channel and that this is seems like a prudent action to take.

Would love to see you watch part 2.

We have plenty of hot tea as well, I drink Irish Breakfast in the cold weather.

Just so you know, originally the colonists used the British red ensign as a flag, as the war started it was decided they needed to put some distinguishing characteristics on the colonial flag, so they sewed white stripes onto it, causing the white stripes to contrast with the red of the ensign, making red and white stripes. it was still hoped that the colonists could reconcile with England so the Union Jack was retained, they used a flag called the grande union flag which turned out to be almost identical to the East India company flag, with a union jack in the canton and red and white stripes. but I don’t think it was planned that way. Later on, once the colonists realized that reconciliation would be unlikely to impossible they replaced the Union Jack with a blue field of stars to represent a new constellation among the nations. so it’s probably just a coincidence that the US flag and the Malaysian flag look so similar.

For all you non-Massachusetts folk, Concord rhymes with conquered.

It's wonderful to see you 😊❤

Part 2 please…

Glad to see an upload by the Beesleys! Even if it is an old video! I hope things are progressing to where KZfaq favors you, and gets rid of the strikes that are wrongfully added. (Only if Fluctus would've politely asked you to get rid of, or stop reacting to his videos.)

King George 3 was crazy at the time. This had a lot to do with it.

Understand that at this time it was illegal for America to buy any goods from anyone else other then a British monopoly. These monopolies had charters from the Crown awarding them areas of exclusive trade, for instance the East India Trading Company controlled all trade from India and China. This was brought to the UK, where it was taxed and then shipped to the Americas (with a goodly mark up) where it was taxed again (with a goodly mark up). No American ship could go, for instance, to France or Spain to buy anything.

the mini series John Adams was really great

1. I'm an Anglophile, I'm afraid, & I drink a fair amount of hot tea. No sugar or cream. I'll have a cup of coffee (also no cream or sugar = black) maybe once or twice a year. 2. This history lesson is told so fast, it would be amazing if you learned anything. 3. The British was still standing & fireing their guns. The Americans learned to fight the way the Indians did. Hide behind trees, rocks, hills, buildings, then fire their guns. Also, jump out and ambush the "Red Coats". 4. Americans didn't want to be taxed without having representatives in Parliament. That's why they rebelled.

Taxation without representation the great tea party.

People forget that Maine was part of Massachusetts until it was spun off as it's own state in the Missouri Compromise. Today only Michigan is the only mainland state that is in two parts.

From Concord Hymn by Ralph Waldo Emerson By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world.

Have you all started a new channel we can all follow in case this one gets taken down? You all need to post the name if so. It will be hard for us to find once you can’t get on here and tell us!

It kinda mentions it, but taxes weren't really the cause. It was changing the social contact between parliament and the colonies. Levying taxes like colonists were British citizens, meant they wanted to be citizens then and the response was, "we'll just hang all the traitors then you can do as you're told" kinda rubbed the wrong way. If they gave colonists a seat in parliament we'd still be british.

The tea thing is real. Due to the boycotts on British goods drinking tea was unpatriotic. Colonists switched to herbal teas that didn't come from the British (dandelions, ginseng, mints and other native plants), which are still fairly popular. And eventually coffee took over.

You're right, actually. The hatred of the British led to coffee being embraced rather than tea in the US. And it remains to this day that coffee is king in America, and tea barely used in comparison.

A few other issues regarding the beginning of the " *Seven Years War* "/ " *French and Indian War* " (*1754-1763* ) = Great Britain v. France (with both countries supporting their allied Native American tribes) [Quick history ="Watch Last of the Mohicans" (1992) the characters are fictious but the setting and the history ... British army, Colonials, Native American tribes/rivalries, a slaughter, Fort William-Henry, Fort Ticonderoga, Ft. Edward , Fort Orange (now Albany, NY) etc. are accurate] *and the* *American Revolutionary War* ( *1775--1783* ) = Great Britain v. 13 Colonies (later aided by France, Spain, with financial aid from the Netherlands (who were still ticked-off against the British who won "New Amsterdam"/New York city and the larger area -- north to what is now Albany, New York i.e. the Hudson river valley = "New Netherlands" from them!) *1.) Most Native Americans died of diseases* (the same diseases the Europeans were suffering) *that the N.A. had no natural immunity!* There is no proof that they were ever given blankets contaminated with Smallpox (Although some British military leaders discussed doing so ... But nobody, not even the soldiers wanted to handle/transport those blankets = Dumb idea) *2.) Americans wanted to settle in the area where they were forbidden to settle ... Because ... As more and more people arrived from* . *the British Isles --England, Wales Scotland, Ireland* (because of Land Clearances in UK and the very early stages of the Industrial revolution in the UK) *land along the 13 colonies' sea coasts and the* " *safe* " (from N.A. - Native American raids) *inland areas* . *was becoming very expensive and unaffordable for most!* . *Furthermore, many, if not most of those dispossessed farmers from the British Isles arrived as indentured servants.* ( *That means* . *that someone paid for their passage to the Americas.* ) These men's and women's indenture was auctioned-off when they arrived in the Americas. This process was very much like the process for enslaved people from Africa, with pre-auction inspections and biding on the indentured servants' passage fees. In return these people had to work "x" (usually 3-7) number of years for their "master". After that point they were given their freedom. *The only place these people could obtain land was on the Frontier.* *3.) Cash/coins were in very short supply in the 13 American colonies* (that produced no manufactured goods -- Industrial revolution had not begun in the Americas .... It was just beginning in England) Most of those outside of the big cities (and even in the few American cities, among the lower socio-economic classes) used the barter system. *Americans were hard pressed to pay* *the imposed taxes* ( *required in coin* , not barter) for tea, paper (including legal documents --Stamp Act) *Fabric (imported from UK) was also taxed.* Regarding clothing, many Americans made do with animal hides, Linsey-Woolsey (i.e. hand woven fabric of linen/wool) or locally made linen or wool cloth made on hand looms. *To European visitors who ventured outside* . *of the upper-class society of the colonies, the Colonials looked rather ragged!* (contrary to Hollywood depictions) British soldiers (clothed and paid cash by the empire) often mocked the Colonial's poverty and lack of manufactured goods. (Also with songs like: "Yankee Doodle Dandy" *Some of the Colonials living on the Frontier dressed like the N.A.'s* . *Most in the 13 colonies had enough food; only because most lived on farms and they grew it themselves!* However, those who worked in low-paying jobs (in cities) really were poor (Many of these were Irish-Catholic immigrants who worked on the docks of Colonial sea ports (Boston, Massachusetts; NYC, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Charleston, South Carolina; Savanah, Georgia) *4.) British citizens living in Britain were highly taxed!* (as were the citizens of France). *In UK, the Hanoverians were not popular kings!* *If Britain had not had the* " *safety valves* " *of Canada and the USA, Australia* (and other colonies) *for their* " *excess population* " *Britain may have faced a revolution much like the French Revolution of (1787 -- 1799)* [Perhaps even, although I doubt it; a reign of terror as in France1793-1794? I think that Britain was in better shape, overall than France.] The French Consulate (1799--1804) managed to gain control of the country then there was a brief French Republic (1804--1808) Napoleon consolidated power in France from 1804 but the First French Empire is dated 1808--1814, 1815.]

The rebellion was more about control, and not really taxes. The entire colonies had been self governed since their inception, and this attitude still persists today. Most of the rest of the world says how can I do that, and Americans say I can or why not! Great reaction! One more comment, technology was mentioned in this video, but the Brits lacked rifles. They used muskets, which had a very short range and were very inaccurate, which is why they had to line up and shoot in mass. But the Americans had an invention made by some Germans, which was brought over to America in the first half of the 18th century (the 1700's). While the American army did not use rifles in the most part, a group called the Sharpshooters did. This weapon gave the Americans with that weapon a clear advantage and could shoot very accurately (500 yards). They aimed at the British officers often.

The sequel will have a happy ending. :) Keep going Beesleys

Columbus insisted to his death that he had reached Asia, even though his contemporaries were reasonably certain fairly quickly that this was no part of Asia they had ever heard of and (more likely) it was an entirely new land. That detail aside, the video is pretty solid. edit: "The REGULARS are coming", meaning soldiers/military (everyone was British, saying "The BRITISH are coming" is a popularized later rendition, but one in error). And...it wasn't so much that we owed taxes, but that they were imposed haphazardly and without any representation in Parliament; in addition to being nonsensical and punitive, the approach was very top-heavy quasi-authoritarian. All in all these got people going, and the rest is history.

the British troops at the Boston Massacre were found not guilty and were represented by John Adams

Keep something in mind, if they ban your other channel, this one will eventually be deleted too. One of the 'rules' of having a channel copyright strike-d out is that any other associated channels will also be deleted. They have your IP address and the video signatures of your old videos. Just be careful about what they'll see as 'thumbing your nose' at them.

Hot tea without whiskey and honey is just leaf water...

I've visited Fort Ticonderoga. It was originally French. Then the British captured it during the Seven Years war. The Colonials captured it then the British took it back then the Colonials took it again. Not surprising. It's not an imposing fort. The most impressive thing I saw was The large ovens the French built for baking bread. The French had their priorities!

It's good to see both of you back, you are one of my favorite channels hang in there, KZfaq can be a bully sometiimes and it takes bravery to keep on going.

Comment for the algorithm hopefully your situation gets turned back around

The 1st thing you need to understand is this war was more of a civil war than our civil war since we were all British at that time. It literally tore families apart while the civil war had clear regional loyalties. The 2nd thing that really set it off wasn't the nit-picking so much as it was their (British Parliament) utter refusal to allow the colonists to expand into the Ohio Valley even though they owned it after the French-Indian War.

Until 1775 it was a British civil war. That's when the American "war for independence" began, set off by the actual "shot heard round the world". I watched p1 and I think the guy said the "shot" set off the Boston tea party, but I'm not sure lol. It would be nice though if Brits were taught about this in school so we could get their insight, as written by Britain.

brits one of our original enemies we remember

You seemed to have missed the part that it wasn't just about being taxed. It wasn't "no taxation" it was "no taxation without representation" the colonies had zero voice in the parliament. So they had no say in what's happening with all the money from the taxes they are being made to pay. If the colonies had a voice in parliament things could very well have been very different. The same concept was basically a driving factor behind the secession that lead to the civil war. The southern states didn't feel they had equal say as the northern ones. Even with the northern manufacturing and textile Interests being dependant on the products and raw materials grown and produced in the south. They felt they deserved more of a voice, just as the colonies did.

They always kinda get the proximate cause of the Boston Tea Party wrong. Yes, there was a lot of unrest over the Stamp Act and other taxes without representation, but what really caused the BTP was a tax cut. To explain - a lot of businessmen in the colonies made a lot of money by smuggling in tea - largely from Holland - and avoiding the taxes on the tea so they undercut the price of the tea coming from Britain. The British East Indian Company was owed a lot of debt by the British government for financing its wars, so the government not only gave the company a monopoly on tea imports to the colonies, but also gave them a special exemption from paying the taxes on tea. This allowed them to undercut the price of all the American businessmen who were smuggling in the tea and basically put them out of business and ruined their profits. They couldn't compete legally or illegally. So they started unrest among their countrymen and formented the riot.

And you have to remember that George Washington and all the others had British accents.

Living for y’all releasing this in the 2nd 😂 You guys should react to Hamilton the musical. It’s on Disney+ and gives a really good history lesson on the Revolutionary War but in a fun and consumable way. It’s SO good and so well written! Lin Manuel-Miranda wrote the songs/script and originated the role of Alexander Hamilton in the show. The Disney+ version has the original Broadway cast! I don’t know anyone who has watched it and been like “it’s just meh”. You’ll need subtitles bc they rap parts of it and Daveed Diggs set the record for most words per second in a Broadway production (6.3 words PER SECOND).

I personally don't think it would have happened too differently if no one shot first at Lexington. It would have happened somewhere else, the tensions were far too high and there weren't any signs of changes to help them back down.

I’m an American! But my family history is English, Scottish, and Irish! I love the so called “Old World “ because that is my family history! My ancestors fought against the British to gain independence! Today we’re just companions! I love my Canadian, British, Australian, and New Zealand compatriots!!!!

I enjoy those videos, which reminds me to recommend the movie The Patriot 🇺🇸 , which is exactly about The Revolutionary War.

It’s crazy how history plays out and all the “what ifs”. France saved our ass against Britain and then the British and US saved France’s ass in WW2.

My Second cousin 8x’s removed, on my mothers side, Richard Henry Lee, made the Motion to Declare Independence. Benedict Arnold is a Second Cousin 9 times removed on my Dad’s side.

Hi Legends!! Upstate NY here.. I loved watching this!! Fort Ticonderoga is just up the road from me!👍 ❤️from Glens Falls NY, aka Hometown USA & Lake George New York’s Adirondack Region 😎✌️

James and Millie, speaking for myself and the majority of us Americans, we love you Brits! 🇺🇸🇬🇧

When I was in the UK and visited homes of my friends that I stayed with it was always cup of tea. Don't you guys have coffee machines?

The American saying being a Benedict Arnold is a disgrace

Millie,make sure transfer your engagement,earlyArchie,and videos you did with the moms just in case.

It wasn't quite like handing you a gun and telling you that you were a soldier now. The Americans at that point in time were very well fed due to all the wild game, which they would go out and hunt for. The point being that they already had the guns and knew how to use them.

love you guys

Yeah, go do part 2. Lets finish the lesson.

Seeing your facial reactions while watching this was just as entertaining as the info of the video! I was probably making the same faces as well, so no mockery there. Love the vids from you two and will be watching any channel you do!

People forget that the founding fathers have had their portraits made when they were old. Most of them were in their 20s. Young, rich, brilliant, and full of piss and vinegar.

My family was here through it all.

When King George rebuked the olive branch ("remove the taxes and let's be friends?" part) its said that Ben Franklin stated "Now we must hang together, or we'll all hang separately."

And that's why we have the 2nd amendment.

I'm an American and I'd like to see part two. Especially what Americans are going through riggt now. I think we need to be reminded of how we had to stand up for ourselves 200+ tears ago and how we might have to do it again very soon. Americans will only be pushed so much by a tyrannical government before we push back!!

I will be looking for you over here. Been a long time since we have been over here, eh?

Here for the rewatch

I remember this!

This was the first successful revolution in modern day, and I believe the first successful revolution of it's type that history tends to forget started a revolution of revolutions worldwide. France probably most know but latin American wars of independence another. So the U.S. has been influencing world politics since before it was"born" so to speak. I'm with you, ma'am. I'm not a hot drink girl unless it's freezing out and I need to warm up.but I really have to be in the mood.

This looks familiar

What reactors never catch is the American flag .. still has the Union Jack

Hi

4:00 speaking of "stamp acts", back in, I think it was the earlier 20th century, their was a MJ tax act. Now get this (this is just from memory though), you needed an ounce of MJ to get the tax stamp to make that Oz legal in a taxable way. But to even have possession and GET the MJ....you needed the stamp, that you can only get from the Oz......which you needed the stamp to get. 🤔🤔🤔🤔...😐. Needless to say, it was totally challenged in court and gotten rid of because it was designed specifically to be a catch 22. So they just started criminalizing MJ outright. "And why did all this even start?" you may ask. From what I understand, The Reconstruction Era was winding down, and a lot of labor had been brought in from Mexico. But now that they weren't needed for the same amount of work anymore, they wanted the laborers gone, and famed it more or less as protecting their cities/towns and women from roving bands of high Mexicans. It was easier back then for the authorities to choose to overlook white Americans that had MJ and target the Mexicans as pretext to deportation. That's pretty f-ed up isn't it? But I guess in a way it backfired on the hemp industry, when hemp started being treated the same as MJ, even though it's not. 🥴 Lumber won the war on weed. lol

Just think about this… a few years ago, you didn’t know. Now you’ve just come back and have Archie; you have seen it, gone to a gun range, had BBQ in Texas, done the California and Florida thing. Walmart and Target, what else too? Happy Independence Day!

I suggest the "School House Rock" series. It aired on the tv channel ABC as a part of their Saturday Morning cartoons in the 1970s. School House Rock covered subjects like English grammar, Mathematics, and US history. These subjects were taught by songs set to a folk music vibe. FYI: In my high school civics class, our teacher required everyone to memorize and recite the Preamble to the US Constitution. The recitation replaced a written test. Civics was the final class of the day for me. The classes before us all passed their recitations. Three students in my class recited the Preamble. Then one kid began his recitation and forgot part of it. So what does he do? He starts singing it, to our horror. There was a collective groan, because he blew it. Our teacher was in shock and asked if this was something we learned in when we were younger. So we all began singing the Preamble, we all passed. lol

The shot came from the American side and touched it off. It was inevitable that day since the Brits were going to continue further on and something else would have touched it off with the same results, in my opinion.

People love to point out that the Founding Fathers owned slaves. But what they weren't taught, have forgotten, or have chosen to forget is that slavery had existed for generations before them and that many of the Founding Fathers had actually INHERITED their slaves and had sought ways to free them, but due to the laws at the time, they were not allowed to release their slaves, nor could slaves own property, even if it was willed to them by those who owned them and, in many cases, the Founding Fathers were forced to keep their slaves, but treated them as employees who lived with them, on the same land, until the laws could be changed to allow for the slaves to be Emancipated, which as we know, did not happen until the middle of the Civil War. In the Constitution, the "three-fifths of a man" clause was put in the section regarding the census in order to give the North (the Free States) the ability to gain more Congressional seats in the House of Representatives to overcome the number of people (including slaves) that were counted in the census in the South (the Slave States). This population shift did not occur until the 1860s, when the country finally decided that the only way to decide whether slavery would stay or go was for the South to secede and fight for the rights of the states to choose whether or not to own slaves. They lost, and the former slaves were finally given their freedom, but many people refused to treat black people as equal until well after the 1960s. Some STILL treat blacks as inferior, but the numbers of people in those groups are far less than today's media, and schools choose to teach by pointing to instances of white people mistreating blacks in individual cases as proof that ALL white people hate ALL black people inherently, but ignoring the statistics that most crimes committed AGAINST black people are committed BY OTHER black people, NOT by white people.

When Americans bring up the Boston Tea Party this is what they are referencing when they threw the tea into the harbor.

Despite the American content, this channel has a lot of Canadian viewers. The oversight of The Beesleys to acknowledge and recognize Canada on this day, especially in light of the fact Canada was a British colony, and is still part of the Monarchy and commonwealth, is disrespectful. I would like to wish every Canadian a very happy Canada Day. It is Canada's equivalent to America's 4th of July. I wish every Canadian a glorious day. Happy Birthday Canada!!! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

I won't keep spamming everywhere but just in case - I used a script to download the whole channel, all videos, etc. can send it your way if needed.

Without tea they would have to drink wine and beer all day. Only safe beverages. Saved humanity. Cheers.

I wouldn't consider the Briitish at the time taxing the colonies, the colonist in fqct considered themselves british, now how they were taxed thats a different story. But like my favorite American youtuber says, "you cant blame the british, they spent lots of money protecting the colonies during the 7 year war" but like i said it was moreso how they were taxed not that they were taxed that was the problem for the Colomists. Also keep in mind the lead up to the napoleonic wars are happening at the same time so the colonies were the side show in the grand scheme at the time.

Americans learn the American Revolution. Why? Because its the only war fought on American soil. Same as you know where what king fought what part of England.

Back when you shared one set of earphones. I am hoping you guys get your channel back.
