The Thirteeniverse channel we're familiar with first began on [[YouTube]] on August 10, 2014, originally being a test upload account belonging to Maestro Keegan (originally under the username xomdjl_), later repurposed as this channel. The channel would remain dormant for a few years, with activity officially staring on January 26, 2021, with the upload of Drew Pickles Goes To the Netherlands, which was the first entry in their series of Speakonia videos titled "The Drew Pickles Show". Also on the channel at the time was a Vyond-made series titled "Jumbah", which Ky, Keegan and Samuel all worked on together. This webseries is about the psychotic misadventures of Jumbah (the blue "Boohbah"), and his gay ass boyfriend 13 (sourced from Zimmer Twins). There was also an earlier incarnation of Thirteeniverse during when the concept of Jumbah was fresh, but following an identity crisis from Ky as well as her trying to apply for a job at the time, she closed down the channel. After Gary garnished success in the friend group with his Drew Pickles videos, Keegan gave up one of his many test channels and made it into a Google Business channel with multiple managers, which would eventually become the 2nd incarnation of Thirteeniverse. What followed was a string of extremely high quality Barney Bunch videos, which quickly caught the attention of [[IronYoshi1212 Productions|IronYoshi1212]] and many other members of the Speakonia Community, for their breakneck pacing, sharp editing, and for evolving the Goes To format further than it has ever gone before. The crew would also create a new member of the [[The Pubic Family|Pubic Family]], the Pube Salmon, who was characterized as being more pathetic than the [[Pube Muppet]], but following some drama around Keegan (whom Pube Salmon was partially based off of), the character would quietly be phased out. On November 12, Thirteeniverse uploaded their first [[Blood-style videos|Blood-style video]], Riff is a friend!, branching out into more video styles. Despite this newfound fame and success, tragedy would strike the channel.

On January 27, 2022, Gary21115 (also known as WaRnEr), the member responsible for crafting The Drew Pickles Show, died in a murder-suicide. News of the tragic event hit the Speakonia Community [[Discord]] server, and the community mourned his loss. Following Gary21115's passing, updates to the Thirteeniverse channel would slow down significantly. Then, on March 26, Ky, the head of the channel, would release an update video regarding the current state of the channel, as well as where The Drew Pickles Show will go following the tragic events of Gary21115's passing. The series would now be helmed by Earthsam, one of the channel's admins, and on April 13, the channel hosted a stream in memory of Gary21115, along with their first new Speakonia video in over 4 months, a Blood-style video titled 4KIDS DIARREHA ORGY FOXBOX XXX RECTAL RAMPAGE. Unfortunately, on April 20, the Thirteeniverse channel would be terminated from YouTube, forcing the creators to seek refuge on alternative sites where the community had been stationed, including [[VidLii]] and [[Tracle]]. The VidLii channel only has one upload, while the Tracle channel had most of the episodes of The Drew Pickles Show and other miscellaneous Speakonia videos (though a few were noticeably missing). All of the members would end up joining the Speakonia Community Discord server, though Ky would end up leaving in July.

For quite some time, the fate of The Drew Pickles Show was uncertain until another group, the United Film & Media Group (which had a few Thirteeniverse members in it), decided to start running it in December 2022. Not too long after the first episode premiered, Keegan made peace with a few select members of the Speakonia Community and debunked most of the drama and allegations surrounding him while owing up to the stuff that was true, also after proving that Ky did in fact forgive him and give him permission to be a showrunner post-Gary's passing. Most previous episodes of this show were done using VEGAS Pro 13, but these episodes are being done using both DaVinci Resolve Studio 18 and VEGAS Pro 20 now. Keegan has managed to mimic some of Gary's editing style aspects pretty spot-on, making things better. The "Season 2" episodes are usually simultaneously posted on YouTube, Tracle (until the mass-ban of Barney Bunch content went into effect in early 2023) and VidLii.

In early 2023, Keegan would announce that the Thirteeniverse channel would be revived, with many of the original members coming back with assistance from ZeroStar. It was revealed that the channel would return to YouTube as well as set up on Odysee and Rumble, which some members of the community have decided to set up after the Tracle ban. Keegan is planning on moving all the Drew Pickles Show episodes over from his personal channel to that channel. The Thirteeniverse staff would work very closely with the United Film & Media Group. However, in Arpil, Ky announced that she would be retiring from the channel, and as such, Keegan decided to retire the current Thirteeniverse channel as a whole, turning it into an archive. Any future uploads to The Drew Pickles Show would go up on Keegan's channel.

Maestro Keegan was one of the founders of the Thirteeniverse channel, and was part of it until mid 2021, where he would be kicked from the team after allegations of him treating Ky poorly came to light. He would eventually reconcile with her and the rest of the crew, and be let back on the channel in 2023, where he now currently runs The Drew Pickles Show following Gary21115's passing.

*'''KyChan2K'''

KyChan2K (also known as Ky, credited in Jumbah and all other Thirteeniverse projects as "Neon Krome") was the main admin for the channel. She would announce her retirement from the channel in 2023 to pursue other creative endeavors.
