chris, i loved the insight you provided to us in the beginnings of the video. as an almost nineteen year old going into college next year, life is terrifying. being an adult is terrifying. hearing you talk through a bunch of these things and these fears really helped me. it’s great to hear someone who’s been through that phase of life say everything’s gonna work out and just keep doing what you’re doing. keep up the great work man, thank you.
I love seeing Shan content, she's always such a vibe. Totally inspiring me to properly display my antique bits and my childhood relics in the same place! It's like a little Museum of Shan, she should draft up little museum labels for everything.
as a 22 year old, who JUST last night had the realization that I had truly made it out of the darkest part of my life, you’re beyond correct. did I ever have a plan? hell no. I just went through the steps of life and played everything by ear. it’s officially been a year since I’ve been in any sort of mental health crisis, and I’ve never looked back. 🖤
watching this at the age of 23 and i just really needed to hear that... (2:49) been feeling so lost nd worthless bc everyone else around me who is same age as me, seems to have everything sorted and i just don't...
I also have an oddities collection! My favorite item is one of my wet specimens that is a sphynx kitten.. I named it Pickle for obvious reasons! Her collection is so cool!
Shan is literally one of the most interesting people to listen to!! thank you for showing this Chris, makes me feel my oddities shelf is not that weird lol 💖
Also love the heart to heart advice in this stream. As someone in the later half of their 20s, it's definitely true that you should fill yourself with experiences and fun weekends while you can
i’m definitely someone who used to react immediately and i have very big feelings so i would have a really shitty reaction, but therapy and mood stabilizers have helped me finally be able to step back and assess how i’m feeling and let myself feel what i’m feeling before reacting in an unhealthy way. so the advice you gave i think is really good advice. cause reacting with your feelings can lead to being a dick on accident
15:42 Man those furbies were the best. My parents made me get a black one because I was a boy but I genuinely like the color for the white and bright coloured ones more. It's great to see other people kept them after all these years. 😁My parents and siblings had to save up for a long time to get me one, I came from a very poor family so I treasure it along with my fat original PS1. 😊
"if you're 22 and watching, you'll figure it out" thank you chris, i really needed to hear this. i'm 22 and have no idea what i want to do with my life and i'm so worried about it
Thank you for this stream, your advice really hit and I appreciate it and you! You're my favourite/comfort streamer and thank you for always saying hi to me in chat it means alot!
I was the one who asked to see Shan’s oddities 😅 her collection is s i c k 👏🏼 i plan on going to another Oddities expo in November so if I see any cool lookin bones I’ll def be sending something for Shan in the P.O!!
5:12 i tell my 15 year old son this all the time... not everybody is gonna mesh well with eachother some people just rub others the wrong way or those people are going thru their own shit and they are hateful and bitter for reasons that have nothing to do with you just be ok with not being liked by everybody its so fuckin normal and when ur an adult u dont care bc u learn quickly that u can not realistically make everybody happy just move on and find ur own people its really not a big deal seriously the drama these young people put themselves thru its tought to watch bc its completly unnecessary and life moves on u can always change things in ur life that u dont like with patience understanding and effort 💜💜
I highly recommend you check out The Rogue Alchemist, who operates out of MN. She works a lot with skulls and bones. Her work is fantastic! Also, we both know Chris was wearing those boots during the West Hunt stream. Sheeeesh!
While I’m not _personally_ into bones, teeth, _racoon dongs_ (LOL), etc., (I do love that for Shan though!!!) I *AM* freaking *OBSESSED* with miniatures!! (And shrink-a-dinks/shrinky dinks/whatever their official name is!) And I’m *hella* jelly of Shans dope AF, fucking *adorable* miniatures collection!! Get. It. Sis!!! 💜 (AHHH!! Those wee, clay snails are soooo cute! I *love* your tiniest items, Shan!! ☺️) EDIT: I have some ADORABLE super miniature UV resin molds (My favorite being these wee gummy bear molds! They’re SO fucking cute and, when colored correctly they look like legit, insanely tiny gummy bears!) and, while I’m currently out of UV resin, I’m gonna order some off of Amazon _right now_ and when it comes, I’m gonna whip up a bunch of adorable, miniature resin “pieces” (LOL!) to send to Shan as I would be absolutely HONORED to have items that *_I_* made in her collection! 😁)
There's an author that Shan might like, her name is Jenny Lawson. She has a book called "let's pretend this never happened - a mostly true memoir" she's extremely into taxidermy because her dad was a taxidermist. She buys taxidermied animals and dresses them up, gives them props, etc. She's the only author to ever make me cry laughing from a book lol she has a few others, but I highly recommend starting with the memoir to get her backstory and shit (the cover is a drawing of an actual taxidermy mouse she has)
Shan is the best, I love her collections, I’ve followed her main and animal accts forever! I’m just dying to know the James Earl Jones story now!!! Lol
I work at a pet store and sometimes the snakes/tarantulas shed would that be ok to send? Also I love that Shan had rats I have two and they’re the best
Since the advent only has 24 days, it’ll end on my birthday! Also, now I wish I kept the teeth I had removed a couple years ago, they were healthy I just had over crowding, coulda sent them to Shan lmao
literally sitting here eating granola when the 22yr old advice thing came outta nowhere and now im crying into my bowl HUH,,, my 22nd bday is tomorrow i-
Dude you need to put a bulb in that open light socket. Even a burnt out one is better than none, especially when the fan is running!! It is not safe to leave light bulb sockets empty. They pose an electrocution risk and a fire hazard. Not to mention make a room look like a crackden.

1. I think you're really awesome and I am proud to call you a friend
2. Shan has the coolest collection omg

@@ChrisMelbergerGaming you heard me...

Proud of you, and wishing you the best!
Easily one of my favorites streams. I know it was super shitty having your PC crash over & over - but this stream was 12 out 10.
i need a Shan and Tell stream where she just shows us her silly little trinkets and minis and things i loved this
watching this at the age of 23 and i just really needed to hear that... (2:49) been feeling so lost nd worthless bc everyone else around me who is same age as me, seems to have everything sorted and i just don't...
Hey me to! Were in this together
I love how passionate Shan is about her oddities! It’s all so well curated too, I just have drawers of shit but this is all displayed so well!!
shan is just the cutest i love her! also sorry about your PC chris i hope you were able to figure it out!
its okay. we wouldnt have had this stream if it didnt!
I also have an oddities collection! My favorite item is one of my wet specimens that is a sphynx kitten.. I named it Pickle for obvious reasons! Her collection is so cool!
oooooo!
Thank you for my new comfort video
Chris: some other weird shit
Shan: this is my childhood stuff
Chris: some childhood stuff…
God I love the curiosities cabinet. Shan is such an adorable weirdo! I would say I want to be her when I grow up but I think I'm older than her.
Shan is literally one of the most interesting people to listen to!! thank you for showing this Chris, makes me feel my oddities shelf is not that weird lol 💖
This makes me want to put all the shit around my house in glass display cases. I love how sentimental she is about all that stuff! So cute
Also love the heart to heart advice in this stream. As someone in the later half of their 20s, it's definitely true that you should fill yourself with experiences and fun weekends while you can
If you take nothing else from this video let it be that “Shan takes weird shit”. 😂 Love it all and both of you!
i’m definitely someone who used to react immediately and i have very big feelings so i would have a really shitty reaction, but therapy and mood stabilizers have helped me finally be able to step back and assess how i’m feeling and let myself feel what i’m feeling before reacting in an unhealthy way. so the advice you gave i think is really good advice. cause reacting with your feelings can lead to being a dick on accident
i work at an antiques and oddities shop!!! this made my heart so happy
yoooo dope!!
Awhhh I love seeing people talk about their passions it’s so cute 🥹🥹 congrats on getting married too! Love you guys!

The fact she's literally your wife now ahh, still can't believe it. Y'all are too cute smh...
I love all of the insight and advice given in the sit down at the beginning. Soooooo much good information and suggestions!
I was the one who asked to see Shan’s oddities 😅 her collection is s i c k 👏🏼 i plan on going to another Oddities expo in November so if I see any cool lookin bones I’ll def be sending something for Shan in the P.O!!
I’m still on the ads before the video has even started and I’m pumped for the fun, upcoming Shan content! Y’all are swell!! 💜
also those AG mini's. I had a Samantha, Kristen and the Elizabeth doll.
i love this and her so much
5:12 i tell my 15 year old son this all the time... not everybody is gonna mesh well with eachother some people just rub others the wrong way or those people are going thru their own shit and they are hateful and bitter for reasons that have nothing to do with you just be ok with not being liked by everybody its so fuckin normal and when ur an adult u dont care bc u learn quickly that u can not realistically make everybody happy just move on and find ur own people its really not a big deal seriously the drama these young people put themselves thru its tought to watch bc its completly unnecessary and life moves on u can always change things in ur life that u dont like with patience understanding and effort 💜💜
When Shan said AG Mini Room, I DIED. Omg, the nostalgia is HITTING!!
I’m obsessed with these oddities! Sorry about your PC Chris
this solidified my love for shan
I highly recommend you check out The Rogue Alchemist, who operates out of MN. She works a lot with skulls and bones. Her work is fantastic!
Also, we both know Chris was wearing those boots during the West Hunt stream. Sheeeesh!
Everything about this was adorable.

I remember the AG mini rooms! My cousins had them and I was so jealous
Love, love, love! Those cabinets and her stuff are amazing.
I love miniatures too!!!
I adore shans collection omg thank you both for sharing this with us 💖
Loved the cozy vibes in this one. More night time talks with Chris?
Y’all have probably been to Salem MA but you should try to go during the arts fest it’s usually in the summer around july. Shan would go ham
Omg those snails are sooo smol!!
I NEED more info on shan living with james earl jones, that is so dope
I love being validated to also having cool weird shit all over my room.
There's an author that Shan might like, her name is Jenny Lawson. She has a book called "let's pretend this never happened - a mostly true memoir" she's extremely into taxidermy because her dad was a taxidermist.

the pride i feel knowing one of my teeth are in that cabinet from shan doing a swap with me 🥺
Shan is the best, I love her collections, I’ve followed her main and animal accts forever! I’m just dying to know the James Earl Jones story now!!! Lol
loved this so so much !!

Dude you need to put a bulb in that open light socket. Even a burnt out one is better than none, especially when the fan is running!! It is not safe to leave light bulb sockets empty. They pose an electrocution risk and a fire hazard. Not to mention make a room look like a crackden.
good comms! I took those out months ago when playing Switch Sports because I didn't wanna bash the bulbs and forgot to put them back in.
Bro I have so much cool shit I need to send y’all!
