We’re spending time with our families the next few days, but we wanted to send this note to say how thankful we are for you. This is our Happy Thanksgiving Letter, if you will!

✨ As you’ve heard us say, we’re trying to carve out a better place to exist on the internet; somewhere celebratory and joyful, a small escape from a world that feels a bit heavier than it should. We’re not ignoring reality; we just choose to offer something different: positivity, great music, laughter, nostalgia, optimism, and friendship.

🫶 And this is where you matter so much. We couldn’t create this borderline euphoria without you. Thank you for everything you bring: the song requests, stories, call-ins, comments, and fun facts. We see how you lift each other up, and we’re going to keep building bridges that connect this community.

☀️ Some of you have said the show brightens your day or helps ease anxiety, and we want you to know you brighten ours, too. Frequently. In fact, on some weeks, you’re the only thing standing between us and eating an entire package of Oreos in reflective silence. So truly, thank you.

🙏 We’re grateful to spend each week with you. We’re thankful to know you. You truly make the world a better place. It’s not just JT and Cooley — it’s all of us. We’re in this together, and we’re just getting started.

💬 If you wouldn't mind, comment down below what you're thankful for - it will be a whole vibe!

I am thankful there are people in the world like you guys, who understand the importance of coming together instead of creating division. I’m also thankful for my family, my cats, Jeopardy, and PBS. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!🦃

I am thankful for this corner of the internet. Truly. The laughs, the ability to share music, hear new music, talk about music, make friends while doing it?! I am just thankful for the hope and joy and comfort I find here. It’s gotten me through a tough period in life.

So thankful for my family most importantly, but also thankful that despite all the negativity out there, there are still people like you and those in this community that can come together without even really knowing each other and create something so positive and supportive 🫶🏻

🥹 This has been a safe space ,fun and a place where you can be yourself without judgement. and im so grateful i have found it the TTES it feels like a family not a group chat its like we belong in one chaotic house. and thats great it soothes that part of me that wants to just do what you guys said eat cookies. aside from being thankful for my family im thankful to the twerk ethic show and to you JT and Cooley for creating this family because thats what it is. 🥰 Happy Thanksgiving guys

Gear up for me being a softie - I am gonna have a hard time putting into words how thankful I am that I found TTES. 🥲 I discovered you guys during a rough time, and you delivered on your promise of music, positivity, laughter, etc. But THEN I came over here to Patreon and discovered the community, that has turned into lifelong friendships with people all over the world. What a year of being a Twerkaholic! Shout out to you guys for building such a happy little corner of the internet.

Thankful for you guys and people like you who offer a small moment of brightness amongst… *waves in general* Also thankful for my kitties, my friends, and having a job I actually love. Happy Thanksgiving, guys!

....but also, what's wrong with eating a whole pack of Oreos? 😂

I will respond more succinctly after giving myself time to percolate what’s in my brain. ❤️🤟🫶

I am thankful for this small corner of the internet you have created that promotes happiness, inclusion, education and love. And for the amazing friends I have made all because JT and Cooley decided they would put themselves out there and make an epic show! TTES ALWAYS 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I'm thankful for my family: my husband & best friend and our crazy little girl and all the family that help us out. I'm thankful to be alive in a time where the internet exists and we can still make it ours. Without the internet, I would lose contact with all the friends who've moved away or live on the other side of the country. I'm thankful for TTES for making content that I didn't know I needed in my life but am grateful to have. I'm new to the community but have watched so many videos with live chats that I feel like I know everyone. I came here for JT and Cooley, their knowledge of music, to learn to appreciate music differently, to hear new music, and now for the people. I can't wait to join more lives and get to you know all more. Sending ❤️ from Baton Rouge, LA

I am thankful for content creators who make safe and happy communities of (mostly) like hearted people. And thankful for the musicians, artists, and others that create such amazing things that we get to enjoy, cherish (or not), and celebrate. I am thankful for the two of you, who have created such a real, lovely, and unique place on the internet. I am thankful that when The internet is scary. The world is heavy. Sh- hits the fan. Difficulties arise. I know that I will always be able to find Cooley & JT Twerkin, 9-5. & for that I am especially grateful.

Ron

I'm thankful for TTES and Twerk Nation of course! My dog walks are always much improved by your posts. And my family and puppies; my job and home and all the little luxuries we have. I'm thankful for music and laughter and being able to disconnect from everything for a few days. Oh and I am SOOOO thankful that I don't have to do any of the cooking tomorrow 😂 🦃 🥧 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Granny Jen

Oh gosh, so much to be thankful for! 🙏 My grandson, Teddy. 🧸 His chubby cheeks are scrumptious! 🙏 A loving family and a safe, warm home. 🙏 God's divine intervention during the 2010 X-Factor show, which led Simon (or Nicole Scherzinger 🤔) to bring together five cheeky, sorta good teenage solo singers to form a boy band who will go on to capture my heart🩷 🙏 JT, Cooley, and Anderson from Georgia, USA 🙏 My new, amazingly kind and hilarious Twerk Ethic friends. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

Larna Dawn

We dont celebrate thanksgiving in the UK and I've never really thought about it but I feel like why not be thankful for things. I'm thankful and grateful for my family and friends and also for all the communities I'm involved in, like this one, with such lovely people. 🙃🩷

Monyka

I am beyond thankful for every last one of you. JT and Cooley, you bring absolutely nothing but joy and love to all of us. You make sure you include everyone, you go out of your way to make sure everyone feels welcome and loved. You both found me right before my lowest and I am so so thankful for that. This community has done nothing but change my life. I have life long best friends who help me through the hurt, celebrate in the joy, and everything in between. TTES has truthfully changed my life for the better.. Because I knew you, I have been changed for good 🩷💚

LuuuuuM

What a lovely message! Thank you for that 🫶 I'm so thankful for having found your YouTube channel earlier this year, that lead me to join this incredible community powered by great music. I'm thankful for JT & Cooley, for being the nicest guys, for creating TTES and for allowing this community to grow... It all started with you! I'm thankful for the Twerk Nation endlessly. Y'all brighten my days! Music is my fuel -- I'm sure y'all can relate too -- and having found a safe place where we can share, discuss and learn more about music has brought me so much joy, I can't even start to describe it! So thank you, thank you, thank you! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! 💜✨️

This feels like an appropriate moment to be a little vulnerable. Long post - you've been warned.😜 A few years ago, due to some stuff that went down personally, social media sites became a place of anxiety and stress, not healthy for my mental state so I made the decision to cold turkey (pun intended) cut the cord to most if not all interaction with any social media sites. I would occasionally scroll through twitter to see what was happening, mostly national sports, local sports, weather, traffic, some musicians, etc... And it's been that way for years. Family and friends would share links to facebook posts or Instagram reels and I would simply say I'm no longer on the socials and happily move along. YouTube rabbit holes were a safe space because I didn't have an account and there was no interaction with others. The reason for that original break still exists. I still avoid facebook like the plague, gives me extreme anxiety to even think about going there. But last year a YT rabbit hole led me to TTES, JT, and Cooley. I joined Patreon in June. Then, a few weeks ago, when The Twerk Ethic Show community was asked for our origin stories, I gladly shared mine and along with a lot of other people we found the show because it's entertaining and stayed for the community and comradery that was/is being fomented here. It's truly amazing and I've not found anything else like it. There are many, many other shows or content creators who react to videos and music. None that I've watched bring the fun, encouragement, and good vibes JT and Cooley bring EVERY. DAMN. TIME. I don't get the sense those other shows really try to deep down KNOW their followers. And in my limited, narrow research, that's what they seem to be - "followers". Not community members, friends, close friends, fellow humans crazy about music, fun, lightness, and love. I could very well be wrong, those are simply my observations. These days, while life and the world aren't perfect, it never is - I'm more open to interacting with others. Thanks to many here I'm more engaged on IG. I may not post my own content very often, but I truly love following the TTESverse, being able to reach out to people I've never met in person about newly found music or really about nothing at all and know, KNOW, there's no judgement or baggage. I am thankful every day that I can open Patreon or IG and find kindred spirits. In fact, the very first time I was brave enough to engage it was to say I FOUND MY PEOPLE! ❤️ I know that was an emotional dump but I felt it necessary to vulnerably express my gratitude on the eve of this US Thanksgiving holiday. I'm not crying, you're crying. Whew. Love to you all, I have been changed, for good ~ Lauri
