Babysitters Club
The Children are our Future — and somebody has to watch them so Gonz can get to the mic.
Babies need sitting.
Over the years we've celebrated a number of little baby Canarian Chicks being added to the Canary Cry family. None, however, have been as directly disruptive to the show as Gonz's beautiful babies. Like all good parents, the Shimura family has had to make hard tradeoffs to keep both the kids and the show alive.
Unfortunately, due to Gonz's residence in Commiefornia, this has presented a serious burden to the Shimura family budget. So we're reaching out to the Canary Cry family of producers to help carry the load. The cost of a sitter, multiplied by a recording schedule, is non-trivial — and the producers are the reason the show survives that math.
Previously the plan was that we'd only need 42 producers to join the Babysitters Club. Turns out that was foolishly optimistic — professional baby-sitters live in the same economy as the rest of us. So we were laughed out of the kingdom and had to refresh the model.
This is one of those rare opportunities where producers can know exactly what their support is being used for. It may be one of the most important parts of the show's budget. Join the Club — and as a thank-you, you start receiving Supply Drops and on-air recognition along with the satisfaction of knowing exactly where the dollars went.
