this guy is an entertainer through and through

they have a pipe burst, his house is literally flooding, his wife is urging him to stop the stream to go find a hotel somewhere, and he doesn't want to leave the stream too early

now he's talking about taking the electric piano to whatever hotel they go to and stream from there

bernie, man

I love pianodad and I'm glad he enjoys playing so much but I feel like his family is kinda using him. I don't think his wife is as sweet as she seems as she cut him off while he was talking multiple times purposely. She also dictates the hours that hes playing. On the first night he blew up at the end of the stream his wife said he was playing all day the next day and he was quite surprised. I don't know what to think. I'm going to remain skeptical.

He's been doing this his whole life, it's just a new medium. This isn't like he just did this for fun and they suddenly realized "holy shit we could exploit this for money."

For example here he was on Reddit 2 years ago.

Article from last February about him.

Yes which is why I think it was the intention from the start OR maybe I'm just not happy with how he seems to be treated by his wife like having no say in hours and being cutoff while talking purposely.

He seems to enjoy playing and having her around so I don't really see the issue.

Just because he enjoys it doesn't mean he isn't being used and yes but it's still not correct morally. She didn't ask it as a question, she was like 'you're playing all day tomorrow'. Also being cutoff while talking can really stink especially when done purposely many times.

Why don't you worry about your own marriage and life? Seriously, some people are just that comfortable with each other after years of marriage. He might not even mind. Why is anyone worrying about the marriage of a guy that plays improv piano songs by request online via webchat? Enjoy the damn music.

This is a horrible mindset. Outright ignoring the potential problems of others is very bad.

Why do you have such a problem with me being concerned about the well being of a person?

Why do think you understand the dynamics of their relationship? And why do you think is right for someone to judge a couple based on an opinion formed after watching them for 15 minutes on Twitch?

Because you're creating a fantasy world outside of no information but a static shot of a man playing the piano.

Because it isnt your business

you dont even know them.
Lol I'm not trying to start mass speculation or make people not like what he has going on. I know I'm probably over thinking it but it doesn't hurt to take notice. And about it not being my business, if what I was thinking were true then you'd all be on the family hating train.

Also I watched for hours on end.

That's like the quintessential old couple, dude. The only thing abnormal about this stream is the man's piano skills.
