Ohtani bobblehead night, Rodeo Drive and a Newport Beach detour for the NZedders
Sam, Nadine and family finally made it to Dodger Stadium, and the comments filled with Angelenos welcoming them to California.

New Zealand Family see the LA Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani for the first time!
Two uploads, both busy. The family from Taupo spent part of their quick California trip at Dodger Stadium, and "New Zealand Family see the LA Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani for the first time!" became their most watched new video, with about 50,000 views on its first day.
It is a packed trip. Besides the ballgame, viewers mention a stop at Newport Beach, a stroll down Rodeo Drive and Nadine at the wheel of a Mustang. The game they landed was Ohtani bobblehead night, which several locals point out was a lucky draw. Others talk about the family taking their hats off for the national anthem, and about running into subscribers in person, including a viewer who says they met at the Newport Dunes. One longtime fan remembers the Dodgers playing at the Coliseum before Dodger Stadium was built. Another, from Otane in Hawke's Bay, notes that the town is pronounced just like the ballplayer.
The other upload went back to the channel's roots: Sam and Nadine reacting to a list of things only Americans think are normal. It stayed close behind the ballpark trip all week. A September reaction to the Fat Electrician's rant about air conditioning is still drawing a steady crowd too, and it has now passed 240,000 views.
Altogether the channel is running a little above its usual daily pace, while the subscriber count held steady. Among reaction channels of similar size it sits right in the middle. Rachel Louise and El Michelle are having the big weeks there, and Galaxy Geeks is quieter than usual.
