With a pink camera in her left hand and a cup of Starbucks in his right, Chad Rader and his wife, Gabrielle, go to work every month with a million people watching.
'What's up peeps. It's Gabe,' the Fishers mom announces to their YouTube viewers every week before running errands with the camera rolling.
Gabrielle Flowers Rader - who goes by Gabe Flowers - and her husband, Chad, are rising online personalities who film their everyday lives in and around Central Indiana.
At home, the grocery store, in their cars, at the mall - the family's YouTube footage is raw, funny and real.
'Don't be alarmed,' Flowers, 32, said in a September vlog. 'My hair probably looks like a 'hotmess.com.' But I'm in the process of doing something to it.'
Her YouTube journey started with online hair tutorials and beauty tip videos. Flowers grew a small audience, but her online channel 'sky rocketed' when Rader, also 32, joined the picture.
Four years later, 'keeping it real' and taping their lives is a full-time job for the couple.
Companies as large as NatureBox, Zulily and Hulu Plus are signing up to advertise on ' GabeBabeTV' - a video diary Flowers launched in 2012.
Rader, a former production manager for McGraw-Hill, and Flowers, a former travel coordinator, waitress and administrative assistant, have no plans to return to the corporate world anytime soon. YouTube endorsements, Flowers explained, generate enough money for the couple.
'It's become a part of us now,' Flowers said as the couple's young son, Chad Jr., reached for the camera they use to film their family adventures.
An estimated 1.4 million YouTube viewers are logging onto watch their show every month. About 18.6 million viewers have tuned into 'GabeBabeTV' worldwide.
Tuesday through Saturday they vlog nonstop. On Mondays, they try to take a break from filming.
Their loyal fans crave videos from Gabe and Babe. Chad, the doting dad, aspiring rapper (a new running joke on the vlog) and hopeless romantic handles the business end of their brand while Gabe interacts with viewers.
'People want to see real reality,' Flowers said. 'Not that stuff you see on TV.'
'Let's make out'
It's not unusual for a celebrity to have a catchphrase.
For years fashion consultant Tim Gunn encouraged aspiring fashion designers to 'make it work.' Supermodel Trya Banks has coined the phrase 'Smize' (smiling with your eyes) and then there's Donald Trump.
'You're fired!' The billionaire's catch phrase became as popular as the television series 'The Apprentice.'
So, what's the phrase for Gabe and Babe?
'Let's make out.' Fans can thank Rader for that, Flowers said. He repeats those three words frequently on the vlog, but it's not a signal for the couple to kiss.
'For anyone who watches us, they know that it means it's always OK to show love,' Rader said. 'It's about connecting.'
Fans encouraged the couple to print the phrase on a t-shirt. So they did. Hundreds of viewers have purchased the 'Let's make out' shirt online.
Let's meet the family
While Flowers and Rader are the stars of GabeBabeTV, they aren't the show's only characters.
Flower's grandmother, Priscilla A. Paris, better known as 'Nana' is a rising YouTube personality in own her right.

Family and friends shown on the vlog crave her macaroni and cheese during the holiday season.
They also get a kick out of Nana's attempts to use technology. In a January vlog titled 'Nana's Text Message,' Flowers and Rader find themselves laughing uncontrollably while Paris uses the keypad on her cellphone.
'I just use my first finger and that's fine,' Paris said with a chuckle. 'The letters are too small.'
Paris isn't the only one providing viewers with comic relief on 'GabeBabeTV'.
Flowers's mother, Ronnella L. Means, makes regular appearances. Their recent mother-daughter trip to Las Vegas captured the attention of 35,000 viewers.
Adventures with their friends Kelli Evans, Deanna Gardour, Anthony Arnold and his wife, Alicia, have gone viral. They keep the couple laughing during their time together in the city.
'They don't feel famous, but they are definitely somebody ' Alicia Arnold said of the couple being recognized by fans nationwide.
Even on the trip to Las Vegas, Flowers and her mother were spotted by a viewer 1,800 miles from home.
Let's talk about love
They may not say much on the vlog, but three characters have tugged on the heartstrings of viewers.
The couple's pint-size dog, Oscar, their son Chad, Jr. and Flower's younger sister Grachelle 'Gracee' Gibson, who has Down syndrome, bring out the couple's softer side, their friends and family said in a recent interview.
More than 240,000 YouTube have viewed the video of the labor and delivery story of Chad Jr.
Since then, the 22-month-old has developed his own fan base. Even before he was born, viewers mailed baby clothes to the couple.
'It's all love,' Rader said.
Let's look into the future
So, what's next for Flowers and Rader? The couple plans to announce their newest project by the end of year.
They're also thinking about purchasing a home in Indiana. Both grew up in the Hoosier state and are graduates of North Central High School in Indianapolis.
Talk of the couple wanting another baby has surfaced, but for now they are enjoying their life with Chad Jr., Oscar and the rest the crew.
'GabeBabeTV' earned recognition from YouTube when the family reached 100,000 subscribers. An award came in the mail along with a congratulatory letter.
'Thank you to every single person who watches and subscribes,' Flowers told their viewers on Oct. 2. 'We couldn't have done it without you guys.'
