• 0:01
  Welcome to Winning the Week Wednesday live stream and podcast.
• 0:05
  This is your episode 70 for October 14th.
• 0:09
  Where has the time gone 20-26?
• 0:12
  I'm Scott Auld and I saved you a seat at the cool kids table and if you forgot
• 0:16
  your lunch money don't worry.
• 0:18
  I'll, share my fries with you.
• 0:20
  This is the intersection of technology, culture, and well-being.
• 0:24
  I heard Jenny like that saying there.
• 0:26
  Here for Gen-X and Boomers tired of being talked down to about tech.
• 0:31
  Phones, AI, streaming, and the rest of the technical world was supposed to make
• 0:34
  life easier but it often doesn't.
• 0:37
  I'll sort the frustrating from a useful.
• 0:40
  With optimism that holds up under real world conditions the cool kids table
• 0:44
  is
• 0:54
  a way on YouTube
• 1:00
  at the Winning the Week channel and jump into the chat and say hi.
• 1:07
  So, so Brian's in the chat saying he's a learning from GPT some stuff, learning
• 1:11
  how to create a topographical map from survey work and AutoCAD.
• 1:16
  That's cool. Now you really got a 3D print that and then paint it make a little
• 1:20
  miniature landscape. Right?
• 1:22
  Springboard says, I only want fries if they're cooked in.
• 1:25
  Beef tallow. That's when fries were good.
• 1:27
  They still are good if they're cooked in beef tallow, sir.
• 1:30
  Get thyself to a steak and shake.
• 1:33
  So for tonight's show, the see who's in Discord.
• 1:38
  We're going to be raking about getting force unsubscribed to YouTube channels.
• 1:43
  I got a wonderful tip of the day for you.
• 1:45
  We're going to talk about our winner and commenter and encourager and thing of
• 1:49
  the week.
• 1:51
  But talk about niche rewrite.
• 1:53
  Hopefully all things Ron is here by then because he's the one who asked a
• 1:56
  question that sent me down that rabbit hole and maybe he'll be interested in
• 2:00
  that. And I want to talk to you about a podcast migration project I undertook
• 2:06
  and successfully executed this r week.
• 2:11
  I want to talk to you about AI transcripts and chapters, which is useful for
• 2:15
  YouTube and podcasters. And, uh, we'll go through our membership Kings and
• 2:20
  producer shoutouts. So yeah a, I wonder who's in discord Fred.
• 2:25
  I wonder who that could be.
• 2:26
  We'll get there in just one second.
• 2:28
  Uh, oh, I see, I see I have a typo here that says episode 68.
• 2:33
  Let's change it. Last week was episode 69 statistics,
• 2:38
  650 comments from 36 people, which is a little down from the previous week of
• 2:43
  820. Let's see if we can get back up to 800 comments again tonight.
• 2:48
  Maybe we can do that. We're already at a hundred.
• 2:50
  So, uh, easily going to be able to knock that out.
• 2:53
  We're already 12, 13% of the way there.
• 2:56
  And, uh, we had 34 people visiting us last week..
• 3:00
  You can see there that Jenny was in first place was 68 comments and Mike and
• 3:05
  Devin and Richard and Susie and Ben were all Railing behind.
• 3:09
  Amy did good spring board.
• 3:11
  I know you can barely make it in, but you still racked up 31 comments and, uh,
• 3:15
  Allie and Fred were rounding out the lead there very nicely.
• 3:19
  I hope you guys liked my little award here.
• 3:21
  I received the wicker plaque from YouTube for 3,556 subscribers.
• 3:27
  I was very proud to open that up.
• 3:29
  Do an unboxing video of the wicker YouTube plaque.
• 3:34
  Um, obviously that's a joke, but before we get too much further and
• 3:41
  to have, our simultaneous sips, so grab your beverage, everybody in honor of the
• 3:46
  late great Scott Adams, who always did the, simultaneous sip on his podcast
• 3:51
  slash live stream, I've got my beverage here.
• 3:54
  I hope you've got yours. Let's get started.
• 3:56
  All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice or Stein, a
• 4:01
  canteen, jug or flask, a a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite
• 4:06
  liquid. I happen to, like Publix diet, brewed sweet tea tastes kind of like
• 4:12
  vanilla frozen yogurt, if I'm being honest.
• 4:36
  And so good question, Fred, who's in disc, now, why don't we take a wander over
• 4:42
  to discord and see that's what I think we should do.
• 4:45
  Let's jump into the discord shared screen and look at that.
• 4:51
  We've already caught a couple of jokers.
• 4:52
  We've got a couple of jokers in discord, so we might as well hop in there and I
• 4:58
  will jump in the lounge and see if we can get the audio working and hopefully it
• 5:02
  doesn't do any feedback.
• 5:05
  Hello, gentlemen.
• 5:08
  Hi, Fred,
• 5:11
  let's just make sure this is, uh, hold on a second.
• 5:15
  I want to make sure we can get some audio working for you guys.
• 5:18
  There we go. Now the audio is working for you fellas.
• 5:24
  And if I jump into the lounge right here, we can see now I could turn my camera
• 5:28
  on as a well. Hello, Mike and Paco.
• 5:31
  Hello, Paco. Mr Paco. Don't mind me, I'm eating a sandwich.
• 5:36
  How was, how was, how was I doing?
• 5:37
  Now I could turn my camera on, how about that?
• 5:41
  Let's turn on, make it even crazier.
• 5:43
  I've got a second camera I can turn on.
• 5:47
  Maybe, maybe I will, maybe I will.
• 5:50
  Why not? I mean, the computer can handle it as we proved the computer can handle
• 5:53
  it. And it's just kind of weird to see me talking here to me talking, you know,
• 5:58
  but
• 6:00
  so what do you guys want to say to the live streamers?
• 6:03
  And since you guys are the only ones brave enough to jump into discord and say
• 6:06
  hi,
• 6:09
  I don't know. I don't know why you're not in here.
• 6:14
  We're always telling you to get in here.
• 6:16
  Who, me?
• 6:18
  No, everybody else. Everybody else.
• 6:21
  What kind of insane crazy chips are you eating today?
• 6:25
  I have just regular. Toothpaste flavored potato chips.
• 6:29
  You know, I eat regular food, but I'm not streaming.
• 6:32
  Okay,
• 6:34
  I broke it.
• 6:36
  All right, gents, I'm going to I'm going to leave you in here and I'm going to
• 6:39
  continue with the live stream.
• 6:40
  You can continue to entertain each other.
• 6:43
  Oh, it's the infinity mirror.
• 6:45
  Look at this. The infinity mirror of doom live streaming the live stream.
• 6:50
  Very good, Mike.
• 6:52
  Very good. All right, fellas.
• 6:54
  I'm going to leave you to it.
• 6:55
  I'm going to go back to the chat and get started because I got a lot of cool
• 6:58
  stuff to talk about tonight and you guys are going to have a good time, but feel
• 7:02
  free to everybody jumping discord did just by the way.
• 7:05
  I got to see if anybody else joined.
• 7:07
  Yep, Amy B landed. Let's make her a cool kid.
• 7:11
  All right. Now, Amy B, you can jump over there on the left.
• 7:14
  There's Jay joined the discord lounge.
• 7:17
  Hello, Jay. That's Moby Dick.
• 7:20
  How are you doing, sir?
• 7:22
  There he is.
• 7:24
  All right. I'm going to leave you guys.
• 7:25
  You guys can continue to have fun in here and you can listen to the live stream
• 7:29
  separately.
• 7:32
  So that's discord. We are having so much fun in there.
• 7:35
  It should be illegal and
• 7:38
  if you guys want to hang out, you don't have to hang out in the voice chat.
• 7:41
  There's also a ton of, uh, I mean, an absolute metric ton of cool
• 7:47
  chat groups over here. And I've even got a couple of bots that post links to all
• 7:51
  of our YouTube channels, which is a blast.
• 7:54
  It's great fun. So follow the link in the description.
• 7:58
  And, uh, if you joined tonight, I will need to turn on your
• 8:24
  access,
• 8:27
  like you just saw me do for Amy there, but, um, I will try to stay on top of
• 8:31
  that.
• 8:33
  Uh, I was trying to find my old street, uh, in Pensacola
• 8:40
  where my, when we lived, uh, we lived in Pensacola when my dad was stationed
• 8:43
  there in the Navy and I was trying to find my old street from when I lived
• 8:47
  there. And I would have been six or seven years old, maybe, I think
• 8:53
  six or seven years old. And it's hard when you can't remember exactly what the
• 8:57
  street was called. You just have a vague, vague memory of the name of the
• 9:01
  street.
• 9:02
  But I couldn't find the darn thing in Google maps.
• 9:05
  I have to ask my dad what the name of that street was.
• 9:10
  Amy was trying to be sneaky.
• 9:11
  Nope. We all saw you join.
• 9:13
  We all saw you jump in there and join.
• 9:18
  Scott's blowing my mind with his tech skills says, Jenny, I don't think it's
• 9:22
  that complicated. Now come on.
• 9:24
  I'm not doing that much in here.
• 9:25
  We're not doing anything crazy.
• 9:27
  I want to talk to you guys about something and you might ask yourself, why is
• 9:31
  this darn fool showing me a picture of a YouTube channel called Jet Lag the
• 9:36
  Game?
• 9:37
  Why is he showing me that?
• 9:39
  And the simple fact is that this is my favorite YouTube channel on all of the
• 9:45
  tubes. And it's hosted by these very amusing three young men.
• 9:51
  I call them Gen Z, but they might be millennials.
• 9:54
  I don't know. They're probably late 20s, early 30s, something like that.
• 9:58
  But they do, they do geography races, like racing the length of Japan and trying
• 10:03
  to do connect four across the United States and like
• 10:09
  treasure hunt across Europe, stuff like that.
• 10:13
  Why do I bring it up? Because it's my favorite channel.
• 10:16
  And I know for fact, I'm subscribed to these boys, except every once in a while.
• 10:23
  So they do seasons, right?
• 10:25
  They do a season. They're currently a doing season 19.
• 10:28
  They're just finishing up the finale of season 19 in their show.
• 10:31
  And between seasons, it's about a month or so with no videos coming out.
• 10:35
  So when I come back to their channel, a find myself unsubscribed.
• 10:39
  I would never unsubscribe from, from my favorite YouTube channel, would I?
• 10:44
  Of course not. But I come back to their channel from about a month or six weeks
• 10:48
  away and I find myself unsubscribed.
• 10:51
  And that is the only explanation that I can think of.
• 10:56
  For why is it that when I look at my, my analytics, I can see that, that three
• 11:02
  or four people subscribe to the channel every day, but two or three or four
• 11:06
  people unsubscribe from the channel every day.
• 11:09
  And I don't think I'm annoying that many people to make them unsubscribe.
• 11:14
  And if they're not really interested in the channel, I should be very happy that
• 11:19
  they're unsubscribing and be glad that they're not going to be a subscriber who
• 11:23
  doesn't
• 11:25
  watch your channel, but that said, uh, my, my commentary to you
• 11:32
  guys, who have YouTube channels is remind your people to check if they're still
• 11:38
  subscribed. Take a look at, tell your, tell your viewers in every video,
• 11:44
  ask them to subscribe. Just remind them to check if they are subscribed.
• 11:49
  If they think they should be, if they're expecting to be subscribed, to your
• 11:53
  channel, have them go look and tell them to tell you if they suddenly found
• 11:58
  themselves unsubscribed. They kind of want to track this.
• 12:01
  And I don't think I've got enough viewers to get the whole world to help me
• 12:04
  track it. But between all of us with all of these YouTube channels and all of
• 12:09
  the people who attend all of our YouTube channels, we should be able to get some
• 12:13
  data, right? So I'm going to ask all of you to over the next month or so, ask
• 12:18
  your viewers to double check and make sure they're still subscribed to your
• 12:22
  channels. And to let you know, if anybody discovers that they weren't subscribed
• 12:28
  and they thought they were, and then report back to me and we're going to
• 12:30
  aggregate these numbers.
• 12:49
  Crazy nefarious reasons. I could think of 13 conspiracy theory.
• 12:53
  Reasons why, but we won't go there.
• 12:58
  But on a side note, if you think you're subscribed to my channel, it would
• 13:03
  behoove you right now to double.
• 13:05
  Check and subscribe to this channel.
• 13:08
  And while you're at it, why don't you go ahead and hit the thumbs up button?
• 13:12
  We got seven thumbs ups tonight and 170 comments already.
• 13:17
  Fantastic.
• 13:20
  Cool. So, oh, that's interesting.
• 13:22
  See all the base housing that was outside of the naval air station was turned,
• 13:26
  turned into a park and subsidized house.
• 13:28
  Well, we lived out in a house.
• 13:30
  We had a regular house and I've looked all over the map and can't find what I
• 13:35
  remember the name of the street to be, but I must be remembering wrong.
• 13:38
  So I'm probably going to have to ask my dad what that street was called.
• 13:41
  And then I'll probably find it.
• 13:42
  Maybe I'll take a picture of it.
• 13:43
  Do a Google street view screenshot or something like that.
• 13:48
  But that is interesting about the base housing.
• 13:50
  I bet it's a nice part.
• 13:52
  You like green beans?
• 14:04
  Amy says, well, holy smokes.
• 14:05
  It worked this time. Chrome would never work.
• 14:07
  Explorer did. Now you all are in trouble.
• 14:09
  We're in trouble because Amy's in discord, everybody.
• 14:12
  That's cool. Amy, you have tried joining at least twice before because there's
• 14:16
  two other Amys, so I'm going to boot.
• 14:19
  The other accounts that aren't in use anymore.
• 14:21
  And we're going to keep you the new one.
• 14:25
  So Amy agrees with me. Yes.
• 14:26
  I thought they were unsubscribing to my channel.
• 14:29
  One would fall off sometimes two a day.
• 14:31
  Yeah, exactly. Brian is still subscribed.
• 14:36
  Nana just signed back up today.
• 14:37
  I signed back up in discord, Nana.
• 14:39
  Is that what you mean?
• 14:41
  That would be good to have you back in discord.
• 14:43
  I miss you in there. I remember when you were in there for a while.
• 14:47
  Green bean casserole. That's what the marshmallows on top.
• 14:50
  If you say so, Fred. Fred says green bean casserole is good.
• 14:54
  If you say so. Springer here, he doesn't like fresh green beans or frozen, but
• 14:59
  canned is good. Figure that one out.
• 15:02
  There is no explanation for that, my man.
• 15:04
  By the way, springboard, I sent you a private message in discord.
• 15:07
  I don't know if you ever saw that.
• 15:08
  You may not realize you got a private message because it's not super obvious.
• 15:12
  In the top left corner of discord, you'll see your
• 15:16
  you'll see your private messages.
• 15:18
  If you didn't know, I sent you one.
• 15:20
  Fred says to Amy, get in here in the discord lounge.
• 15:24
  Amy and discord. That's down on the bottom left corner.
• 15:27
  Go down to the lounge. Mike the aging retirees says Fred agreed with almonds on
• 15:33
  top.
• 15:34
  I feel like I got a sneeze.
• 15:36
  You guys know that trick when you think you're going to sneeze.
• 15:39
  And it feels like a sneeze coming on.
• 15:40
  And you can trick your brain into thinking it's already sneezed by doing a fake
• 15:44
  sneeze. Well, I'm going to try that.
• 15:46
  I feel a sneeze wanting to come on right now, but it's too far distant to
• 15:50
  actually kick through. So I'm going to do a fake sneeze.
• 15:53
  Ready?
• 15:58
  There we go. Now the fake sneeze is out and my brain should be tricked into
• 16:02
  thinking it's already sneezed.
• 16:05
  And now I don't feel the urge to sneeze anymore.
• 16:10
  In the PM, I have to look for the PM.
• 16:13
  Thank you for letting me know.
• 16:14
  Yeah, I was figuring. You probably didn't know that it was in there.
• 16:16
  I was going to tell you in the regular part of discord.
• 16:19
  But those messages are not very obvious to find.
• 16:23
  It's way on the left, all the way at the top, above your list of channels, if
• 16:27
  you subscribe to multiple discord guys.
• 16:31
  In fact, I'll show you my discord screen again.
• 16:34
  If you look over on the left, you can see all these discord channels I'm
• 16:37
  subscribed to, right? Signum University, Florida Tolkien Society, Tone Asylum.
• 16:42
  VidIQ has one. Our buddy, Tommy Temper, he was in our live stream yesterday.
• 16:46
  The Skunk Squid, which is Jay, Moby Dick.
• 16:50
  He's got some, the Rev Secutioner.
• 16:52
  He's got some friends in there.
• 16:54
  Fourth wall has a discord server.
• 16:57
  The GGP PC. That's the get piped pipe community.
• 17:02
  Rings and Realms.
• 17:08
  What's that all about? That's an oldie.
• 17:11
  Knight Dev Support. That's a bot.
• 17:14
  Yag PDB. That's another support community.
• 17:17
  If you click into these, you can see they've got their own servers.
• 17:19
  This Yag PDB one, that's the bot that does posting our link, our videos.
• 17:25
  That's the guy who posts our videos.
• 17:27
  Podverse, the application is a podcast player.
• 17:30
  They've got a small discord server, but nothing ever happens in here.
• 17:34
  Every once in a blue moon, like this is from March, they post stuff in here.
• 17:38
  The coolest discord server of all, of course, is the Winning the Week server.
• 17:43
  And that's the one that I've got up at the top of my channel here.
• 17:46
  So just so you know, the cool kids table online is in the discord server.
• 17:54
  So let's move on along here.
• 17:58
  I want to say thank you to our buddy Devin.
• 17:59
  He's not here yet, I don't think.
• 18:02
  But nbwriter1. And thank you to Devin and everyone.
• 18:05
  Dana, everybody. Oh, Ron's, you're here.
• 18:07
  Good. I was just talking about you in a second.
• 18:09
  I'll tell you why I was talking about you, Ron.
• 18:12
  Everybody who's become a member or gifted memberships over the past year.
• 18:16
  Mike, Lori, I can't remember everybody's name who's done it.
• 18:19
  I'm really sorry. I wish I could remember that, but you guys have done it so
• 18:23
  often. I can't remember how many times you guys have gifted memberships.
• 18:28
  And we are about to hit 100 members in YouTube, which is fantastic
• 18:34
  and phenomenal. and you guys demonstrate true value for value support for each
• 18:39
  other. And I love to see that.
• 18:40
  So, all right. So we got a couple things in the chat.
• 18:44
  I want to bring up and see what you guys are talking about.
• 18:46
  FlyQuest says, military secret, training for survival if ejected.
• 18:50
  Feel the sneeze coming on.
• 18:51
  Place your index finger under your nose.
• 18:54
  The moisture from your finger will quell.
• 18:56
  I don't have any moisture on my finger.
• 18:59
  What are you talking about?
• 19:00
  Anyway, the fake snee's works.
• 19:02
  Ron says, I'm editing my video while listening.
• 19:04
  So Ron, in a little bit, I'm going to get to you.
• 19:07
  Remember last week you said, Scott, what would you say your niche is?
• 19:11
  And I pulled it up and read it to you.
• 19:12
  But you kind of sent me down a rabbit trail.
• 19:15
  You kind of sent me off on a wild quest about my niche.
• 19:19
  And I have sort of, I've sort of massaged it.
• 19:22
  I didn't change it. I would say I massaged it.
• 19:24
  So we're going to go through the niche rewrite exercise all because of you and
• 19:30
  how I came up with what I came up with, what I landed on, and what I would say
• 19:35
  the niche is as of today. That'll all be your fault, Ron.
• 19:40
  So we'll get to that in a minute.
• 19:42
  Brenda's broadcast is here.
• 19:43
  Finally joined today. Officially a cool kid.
• 19:46
  Thank you for joining, Brenda.
• 19:48
  Excellent. I'm so glad to have you here in the live stream as well.
• 19:51
  And look at this. Mrs. Cool Kid herself fishing with Ali.
• 19:54
  Gee, it's chilling in...
• 19:59
  Oh, I got to get rid of this thing.
• 20:01
  It was in my way. Sorry, you guys don't need to know about this crazy little
• 20:03
  button I just pushed. I got a- a whole bunch of text off my screen that was
• 20:06
  annoying me. But Brenda and fishing with Ali G are chilling in here, which is
• 20:12
  awesome. We got a nice crowd of people.
• 20:15
  195 comments. We're about to bust through 200 and our goal is 800 comments
• 20:20
  tonight. We're at 25% of that already, which is fantastic.
• 20:24
  So let's talk about stickers for a second because there's a change.
• 20:27
  Uh, there is a link in the description of the video.
• 20:32
  I did, boy, did I update it?
• 20:34
  I sure hope I did. I just now said, said there's a link in the description.
• 20:36
  I better look and see if I actually changed it.
• 20:39
  Stickers. Free stickers. Yes, I did.
• 20:41
  Okay. So as you can see on screen here, the new location for stickers is my own
• 20:46
  website that R built with the help of my friend Gronk
• 20:50
  and hosted on my own virtual private server with the help from my friend Gronk
• 20:56
  and bought the domain name.
• 20:57
  Well, I've had that domain name for a s long time already, but finally pointed
• 21:01
  it somewhere useful, which is at my VPS server with a little self-hosted
• 21:05
  scottall.org. And if you scroll to the very, very bottom, or if you click the
• 21:10
  link that's at the top of the page that says stickers, stickers, takes you down
• 21:13
  to the bottom and there's a little form to fill out- which is the same darn
• 21:16
  questions that my old Google form requested of you.
• 21:20
  But now you don't have to fill out a Google form and it doesn't have to go
• 21:22
  through the people at Google.
• 21:24
  It just populates a spreadsheet for me so I know where to send you guys some
• 21:28
  free stickers on my dime. And I would love to send you some.
• 21:33
  I have international stamps, by the way, so folks like my friend the chairman
• 21:37
  here who just walked in
• 21:40
  from the English countryside, he says, if my niche and I align, I have no idea
• 21:45
  what would happen.
• 21:46
  Yes, if you actually started doing items that were in your niche, nobody would
• 21:50
  know what was happening.
• 21:53
  But at the bottom of the brand spankin' new scottall.org website and you can see
• 21:58
  a lot of links on the scottall.org website for my various Winning the Week
• 22:03
  projects, including my very nifty podcasts and a couple of websites I have set
• 22:08
  up for some friends and a couple other things I'm doing, things for people, but
• 22:12
  yes, exactly CL. I am now official.
• 22:16
  And I think if you go to scottall.com, what does that go to?
• 22:21
  That goes to YouTube. Yeah, scottall.com just takes you to the YouTube channel.
• 22:26
  scottall.org takes you to my nifty cool stuff site.
• 22:30
  So FlightQuest, do I have a 16 by 20 size sticker?
• 22:35
  I don't know what that is.
• 22:39
  That would be big. That would be like a really huge sticker, dude.
• 22:43
  What are you gonna do, stick it on the side of your airplane?
• 22:46
  These stickers that I can send you are out of reach.
• 22:50
  I can't grab them. They're like the one on my microphone.
• 22:52
  See the one on my microphone right here?
• 22:55
  Yeah, square one. They're three by three.
• 22:57
  Three by three inches square.
• 22:59
  They're kiss cut and they are very waterproof.
• 23:01
  When you stick them on your Yeti, they survive through the washing, the
• 23:07
  dishwasher.
• 23:09
  Hundreds of times. Mike, Adventure Spark sticker is lasting a long time too.
• 23:15
  So is old man copper and my fern forest and my old.
• 23:20
  This is a really old sticker.
• 23:21
  Escaping the suburbs. You know that that sticker has been through the dish
• 23:26
  -washer 100 times or so, because who says escaping the suburbs anymore?
• 23:31
  Anyway, stickers are en route to Geraldine in Peru.
• 23:35
  She never did get the stickers I sent to her friend in Falls Church, Virginia.
• 23:38
  But I've got international stamps.
• 23:41
  So I've got stickers going to Geraldine in person down in Lima, Peru.
• 23:48
  Brian says he got his stickers no more than four days later.
• 23:51
  Fantastic. The U.S. Postal Service doing his job.
• 23:55
  Very good.
• 23:57
  Yes, indeed Richard. I did send some stickers to you.
• 24:01
  I don't know if you put the wrong address address again, but I'll tell you what.
• 24:04
  I did send some to you. Um, but why don't you go to scottall.org, go to.
• 24:09
  The bottom fill it out and I'll do it again.
• 24:12
  I'll send you some more stickers.
• 24:16
  so, um, Brian says, my sticker order should arrive by Friday.
• 24:20
  Did you get some stickers made up for your channel, buddy?
• 24:22
  That is cool.
• 24:24
  Excellente, Rellante.
• 24:27
  So flight quizzes. I like the headset around the earth sticker.
• 24:30
  I hang it in my music studio.
• 24:32
  Yep. I've got some of those things right over here, right, right out of reach.
• 24:36
  And I can't reach them or show them to you, but fill out the form at the bottom
• 24:39
  of that web page and you will get some sent your way.
• 24:43
  Welcome home, honey.
• 24:46
  Thank you for welcoming me home.
• 24:47
  I appreciate it. Did you have a good evening?
• 24:52
  Good.
• 24:54
  Just a side note to folks who are listening on the podcast.
• 24:56
  If you're one of the over 100 listeners to the Winning the Week podcast and
• 25:00
  you'd like to join in with a live interactive chat, come on over to YouTube.
• 25:04
  Find us at Winning the Week on YouTube and come over Wednesday night, any
• 25:09
  Wednesday night, 8 p.m.. eastern hang out over here in the chat.
• 25:12
  Where all the cool kids are and say hi.
• 25:15
  I would love to see the first person ever to say, I first found you on the
• 25:20
  podcast and made my way over to YouTube.
• 25:22
  We're still waiting for that first person to ever do that.
• 25:25
  I know it will happen one of these days.
• 25:27
  One of these days is going to happen.
• 25:30
  Yvonne got her stickers very quickly Excellent.
• 25:33
  Very good. Hello there, Dashie.
• 25:35
  Oh, I can see what happened.
• 25:37
  I say hello there. And what's actually happened is, Devon just got in the chat
• 25:42
  and handed out. It looks like a ton of...
• 25:46
  Oh my gravy. Wow, Devon, Devon.
• 25:48
  Thank you so much. Once again with your generosity.
• 25:52
  Looks like Dashing Womble was given a free membership and five memberships.
• 25:57
  Excellent. Thank you, sir.
• 26:02
  A hundred members. And you might have just put us over a hundred.
• 26:06
  I'll let you know. Looks like Brian and Tiffany.
• 26:12
  Oh my gravy. I just total brain farted.
• 26:16
  What is the name of their channel?
• 26:18
  Brian, Hi Fine, Biffany, Come On, Brain.
• 26:21
  What is...
• 26:24
  You guys got to help me out.
• 26:25
  I can't remember the channel name anymore.
• 26:27
  I'm sorry, Brian and Tiffany.
• 26:29
  Adventure, America, Big Dude, Paul Jokes from Wales, UK.
• 26:36
  Thank you, Devon. That was very kind of you, sire.
• 26:38
  I really appreciate that.
• 26:40
  Yeah, Jenny, exactly. Look who walks in with the memberships.
• 26:44
  That's very nice of him. It's getting to be his trademark, isn't it?
• 26:49
  Brian, from Have Fun in Nature.
• 26:51
  There we go. Thank you so much, Ciel.
• 26:52
  I knew somebody with a real brain on would know what the name of a channel is.
• 26:58
  I was really having a hard time.
• 26:59
  Jenny knows it, Have Fun in Nature.
• 27:01
  Hey, Devon. Glad you made it, my bud.
• 27:04
  Thank you so much, man. Just a reminder again, we talked about it at the
• 27:07
  beginning, having fun in the chat.
• 27:10
  Let's go take a peek in Discord.
• 27:12
  There is a link in the video description to get you into Discord.
• 27:16
  I'm just going to drop in here and see if anybody else tried to sign up.
• 27:19
  No, it doesn't look like it, but it looks like Ben is hanging out in there.
• 27:22
  All right, let's drop in. Let's drop in and bother everybody again.
• 27:27
  Oh my goodness. Ben is in the house.
• 27:29
  Ha, how has Ben in the house?
• 27:33
  I'm here. He's here. How are you doing, buddy?
• 27:38
  We're looking at baseball cards and listening to the air.
• 27:40
  Oh, is that what you guys are talking about now?
• 27:44
  What is it? Yeah, wow. That's fun.
• 27:49
  So Ben, I put together a producer shout out for you that does not mention your
• 27:54
  old C-H-A-N-N-E-L since you shut that puppy down with the situation going
• 28:00
  on with the S-C-H-O-O-L. So I put together a shout out that R keeps you
• 28:05
  completely anonymous.
• 28:07
  And the reason I'm spelling those out is so that the S-C-H-O-O-L kids don't know
• 28:12
  what I'm talking about because they don't know how to spell.
• 28:15
  They don't know what they're, they can't read.
• 28:18
  All right, everybody. You guys keep on having fun.
• 28:20
  Devin's in there too. Wow, Devin's here now.
• 28:23
  Everybody's chilling out. Oh, look at this Amy B's in here, but she's on mute.
• 28:27
  Amy, you got to unmute yourself to talk.
• 28:33
  Ben,
• 28:37
  you're not going to turn your camera on.
• 28:39
  What's wrong with you, buddy?
• 28:43
  All right, I'm going back to the live stream.
• 28:45
  You guys have fun.
• 28:47
  What a great group of people.
• 28:49
  What a great group of friends.
• 28:52
  All right, let's see what I'm missing in the chat here.
• 28:54
  Brenda says, Scott, because of your last video, I tried Grok as I
• 29:00
  call it for the first time for channel evaluation.
• 29:03
  Awesome. I'm going to talk a little bit tonight about AI channel evaluation
• 29:08
  because of that video. I'll be talking about that in a minute.
• 29:12
  I am curious, Brenda. What did it tell you?
• 29:14
  Did it give you anything useful?
• 29:17
  The trick with Grok is,
• 29:21
  well, I was going to say you can connect it to the vid MCP server, but that only
• 29:26
  works, I think, if you have an account at vidIQ.
• 29:29
  So don't, maybe don't try that unless you are already using vidIQ.
• 29:33
  If you're using vidIQ, connect your AI to the vidIQ MCP server, and then they
• 29:39
  can work together to help you out.
• 29:42
  Yes, Ben is incognito. He's incognito Ben.
• 29:44
  That's his new name. Not Ben in real life.
• 29:47
  Now he's incognito Ben. Exactly correct.
• 29:52
  So listen, I got a tip of the day for you guys.
• 29:55
  Speaking of AI, this is a screenshot from a post I put on X where I
• 30:02
  often put my social media stuff.
• 30:05
  I've actually got two tips of the day, but one of them I don't have a slide for.
• 30:08
  I'm just going to tell you.
• 30:10
  But the first one is this one.
• 30:11
  If you want your robot of choice, I like Grok.
• 30:15
  Some of you guys like Chad GPT.
• 30:16
  Some of you guys like Claude.
• 30:18
  Some of you guys like I can't think of any others.
• 30:22
  I know there's a million of them out there.
• 30:24
  Devon. There's one called Devon now.
• 30:26
  Not Devon. Devon. D-E-V-I-N.
• 30:29
  But there's quite a few AIs out there.
• 30:33
  If you wanted to remember something for future conversations, some fact or some
• 30:38
  project you're working on, or if there's anything where you're
• 30:42
  having a conversation with their bot about and you want them to remember it in
• 30:46
  the future, use this phrase.
• 30:48
  Tell the robot to save it in durable memory and the AI will remember that fact
• 30:55
  or behavior or behavior or preference in future chat conversations.
• 30:58
  So for example, I told Groa Grok, my favorite robot, to save in durable memory
• 31:04
  the fact that I have multiple podcasts and I told him the name of the podcasts
• 31:08
  and the name of the path to the XML feed for my podcast.
• 31:13
  I told several things that I don't want to have to repeat myself.
• 31:17
  I told that I have a VPS server stored at inter-server, which I'm paying $3 a
• 31:21
  month for with the one slice host plan, stuff like that.
• 31:25
  So in the future, when I'm working with Grok on anything technical, I don't have
• 31:29
  to repeat myself and start all over with the stupid chat window.
• 31:33
  If you say, save this in durable memory, that's the key word, durable memory.
• 31:39
  Your AI will remember it in the future.
• 31:41
  You can tell it what state you live in.
• 31:43
  You can say save in durable memory
• 31:47
  Springs, Florida, the town, maybe.
• 31:50
  That's helpful because then in the future, you can just say, what's the weather?
• 31:53
  Is it going to rain today?
• 31:56
  What's the temperature going to get down to tonight?
• 31:58
  And you don't have to tell it the zip code or anything where you are.
• 32:01
  You've already told it where you live in durable memory.
• 32:05
  Now some of you guys might be worried about privacy and you might be thinking,
• 32:08
  boy, I'm worried about putting too much information in the AI.
• 32:11
  I don't want to give up my privacy.
• 32:13
  Well, you don't have any privacy.
• 32:42
  Privacy is an illusion. Privacy, that stagecoach left the station a long time
• 32:46
  ago. Agreed to the terms and conditions.
• 32:48
  So that's when I used to have a conspiracy theory.
• 32:51
  I would kind of jokingly tell people, which was that the NSA invented Facebook
• 32:57
  because instead of spying on people by surreptitiously putting a bug and a spy
• 33:03
  device in your jacket when you weren't looking, they just sold it to you as a
• 33:08
  phone and you paid for it.
• 33:10
  And now you post all the information you ever want.
• 33:12
  Any spy agency would ever want to know about you.
• 33:15
  Voluntarily on Instagram Facebook and Twitter X etc.
• 33:20
  So don't worry about privacy.
• 33:23
  You don't have any.
• 33:24
  Sorry, if that's a little,
• 33:27
  if that's a little on the negative side, sorry, but springboard here will back
• 33:32
  me up. Tell me I'm right, springboard.
• 33:34
  Privacy is an illusion.
• 33:36
  So that was my first tip of the day.
• 33:38
  And the second tip of the day, I want to talk to you if you're on YouTube.
• 33:41
  If you're on YouTube
• 33:44
  and your channel has not yet become superstar, take it off yet, which is most of
• 33:49
  us.
• 33:51
  Consider taking the videos that you're already making.
• 33:54
  This is very little extra work and posting your videos somewhere else as well.
• 33:59
  Because YouTube is not the only thing in the world.
• 34:02
  And if you take the video that you already made and post it on a Facebook page
• 34:07
  for your channel
• 34:10
  and you don't even have to call it
• 34:41
  and maybe you make an X account.
• 34:46
  On Instagram and TikTok, if you like TikTok, I don't really like TikTok for some
• 34:51
  reason. I don't know what it is I have against it Rational.
• 34:54
  I can't point to it and say this is what I don't like about it.
• 34:56
  It's just something about TikTok that gives me the heebie jeebies.
• 34:59
  I gotta think about that. There's gotta be a good reason why I don't like
• 35:04
  TikTok. But anyway, I don't like TikTok.
• 35:07
  But that's my other tip of the day is to start posting start posting your extra
• 35:13
  videos to other social media sites.
• 35:16
  Because you never know when that site might be the one that kicks off.
• 35:19
  It doesn't have to be YouTube.
• 35:21
  You can monetize an Instagram account and a Facebook group and you can- or a
• 35:26
  page and you can monetize your X account once you get to a certain point.
• 35:31
  And man, you make a video that didn't do good on YouTube and throw it on X or
• 35:35
  Facebook. You never know. It might go kablooey and next thing you know you're
• 35:39
  monetized over there and you got 30,000 followers on Facebook
• 36:09
  or 50,000 people following you on X.
• 36:13
  And yeah, YouTube didn't work out until they block it.
• 36:15
  I mean, they throttle it, Ron.
• 36:18
  YouTube, I mean, Facebook does not want people going.
• 36:21
  to YouTube. So if you put a YouTube link on.
• 36:23
  Facebook, I think Facebook just
• 36:25
  I think they shadow ban it.
• 36:28
  I think they squelch it. They don't want people leaving their site and going to
• 36:31
  YouTube. But you could upload the video itself to their site.
• 36:36
  You can unload your video natively to their site as a video, not as a link to
• 36:42
  YouTube because they don't like it when you post links off to their competitors
• 36:46
  and Instagram and Facebook are kind of connected.
• 36:48
  So they probably play nice.
• 36:50
  But just upload the video itself to Facebook.
• 36:52
  Like it's a video you put on Facebook and maybe that means you don't talk about
• 36:56
  it being a YouTube channel in the video.
• 36:58
  Maybe you just talk about it generically saying, hey, welcome to all things,
• 37:01
  Ron. Welcome to life with Gen X values.
• 37:04
  And then then that video could go on X and it could go on Facebook and it can go
• 37:08
  on Instagram.
• 37:10
  Okay, Jenny solved the problem.
• 37:11
  Jenny solved the problem. The reason I don't like TikTok is because Jenny
• 37:15
  doesn't like TikTok. And if Jenny doesn't like TikTok because Jay doesn't like
• 37:19
  TikTok. Thank you for clearing that up.
• 37:21
  That was so easily explained.
• 37:23
  My gravy.
• 37:25
  So Steve Fewer, the pure Steve Fewer.
• 37:29
  Welcome to the chat buddy.
• 37:30
  Glad you made it tonight. This is a good question.
• 37:32
  What about posting on Myspace?
• 37:34
  Man, does Myspace still exist?
• 37:36
  That would be so funny if Myspace was still around as a as a webpage.
• 37:41
  I doubt it.
• 37:43
  I. Mean, I doubt it, but why not try it?
• 37:45
  Myspace.com.
• 37:48
  Oh my goodness. It goes somewhere.
• 37:50
  Myspace actually exists, you guys.
• 37:53
  There's a there's a Pearl Jam story.
• 37:58
  Pearl Jam welcomes Billy Strings at Ohana.
• 38:00
  Yep. Those are some words.
• 38:03
  Guys, Myspace is still around.
• 38:04
  There's I think that's Julian Lennon.
• 38:08
  There's Madonna. Still music central, isn't it?
• 38:12
  So Myspace still exists. Yes.
• 38:13
  So there's your answer, Steve.
• 38:15
  Definitely post your stuff at Myspace.
• 38:17
  I guess it's still around.
• 38:18
  When you first sign up, do you get a message still from Rob?
• 38:21
  I wonder you still get a message from Rob.
• 38:23
  Remember him?
• 38:27
  Chairman says was Myspace the one that could have music playing?
• 38:30
  If it's the one I'm thinking of, I do think it had a bit on there once.
• 38:33
  Yep. That is it, sir.
• 38:36
  Yes. All things wrong. Good call.
• 38:38
  Let's go on to AOL. What was it called?
• 38:43
  AOL keywords. You got to reserve your keyword.
• 38:46
  Go to AOL and go to keyword.
• 38:48
  All things, Ron. Man, we're really showing our age there.
• 38:56
  Okay, Devin, you glared to help me with this.
• 38:58
  I share things on my RangelfireWP.
• 39:02
  Is that WordPress? I don't even know what you're talking about.
• 39:04
  Those are some words for sure.
• 39:05
  Don't know what that means.
• 39:07
  You have to explain. Explain it like I'm five.
• 39:11
  Because I don't know what you're talking about, man.
• 39:13
  Anyway, those are my tips of the day.
• 39:16
  And I think we should talk for a second about our commenter and encourager and
• 39:20
  winner and thing of the week.
• 39:23
  Maybe it's you. I hope you guys saw this at the intro, but I did receive and
• 39:28
  unbox the Wicker YouTube plaque for 3,556 subscribers.
• 39:33
  Congratulations winning the week.
• 39:35
  You got the Wicker straw plaque, which is always nice.
• 39:41
  So winner of the week. I wanted to talk about this last week and I don't think I
• 39:45
  got a chance to get to this.
• 39:47
  Kind of ran out of time last week, but Lori sent me a video telling us
• 39:53
  how she wins the week. So I made her the winner of the week last week.
• 39:59
  You guys can tell me if I showed this slide last week.
• 40:01
  I don't remember doing it.
• 40:04
  No, Fred, you're not jerk of the week yet.
• 40:06
  Try harder, man. Come on, dude.
• 40:09
  Springboard says Angel Fire was the original host of a long, long ago website I
• 40:14
  ran. Okay. That was the web hosting service.
• 40:17
  Got it. Okay. Thank you, Springboard.
• 40:20
  Amy says, I know when I do post on Facebook, my local friends and family see it
• 40:25
  and the views on on YouTube go up.
• 40:27
  Yeah, if you're posting it on your personal Facebook page, that's Rue.
• 40:33
  But I'm not talking about posting it on your personal Facebook page.
• 40:36
  I'm talking about creating a, it would really basically be a business page.
• 40:41
  Create a separate page for Amy's cozy place and have a Amy's cozy place
• 40:47
  YouTube account. That's what I'm talking, or sorry, Facebook account.
• 40:51
  I've got one, isn't it? Did I make Facebook.winningtheweek or something like
• 40:55
  that? It's Facebook.winningtheweek.org.
• 41:00
  I don't remember if that works or not.
• 41:02
  I don't think I set that up.
• 41:03
  No, I didn't ever do that.
• 41:04
  I used to have all those things set up, but that's the pain in the butt to keep
• 41:07
  on top of. Anyway, Lori's Soul Circle is our winner of the week.
• 41:12
  So we got that going for us, which is nice.
• 41:15
  It's always handy and nice to have.
• 41:20
  And next,
• 41:22
  the comment the comment of the week
• 41:26
  is from a
• 41:30
  couple of things here.
• 41:32
  Catherine's Fabulous 60s asked a question a while back about how do I schedule a
• 41:37
  live stream? She actually asked this question in the Discord and I gave her a
• 41:42
  few screenshots.
• 41:44
  But that sent me down the rabbit hole realizing that a lot of people don't know
• 41:48
  how to to schedule a live stream ahead of time.
• 41:51
  And I think that's very important to do.
• 41:53
  I think it's a worthy thing to know how to do.
• 41:55
  And that sent me down the down the rope on making a video.
• 41:59
  So that video will come out, I think I'll have it ready for everybody for
• 42:03
  Friday.. Okay, I'm hoping to have that ready for you guys for Friday, a video.
• 42:08
  But thank you Catherine for your comment in Discord of all places.
• 42:13
  And be writer once as I had an angel fire and a light coast web page in the 90s.
• 42:18
  Jay says Scott, do you know what TTM is?
• 42:22
  TTM time to move. I don't know.
• 42:26
  No, I don't really know. But I do know your face is winning the week.
• 42:30
  I did show this one, Jenny.
• 42:31
  Okay, the mucus blocked it from my memory.
• 42:34
  So I did show. Lori. Okay, very good.
• 42:37
  Hello, porch Piper, Tom. How is it going, buddy?
• 42:40
  You're you're never late up.
• 42:41
  You know, a pipe smoker is never late.
• 42:44
  He arrives precisely when he means to.
• 42:48
  So the encourager of the week, we never get to see the Smiling Oma in the chat.
• 42:54
  She never joins, but she makes a lot of comments on the videos.
• 42:58
  And this was a great comment.
• 43:00
  By the way, her username Smiling Oma 333.
• 43:04
  If you don't know, 33 is a magic number.
• 43:08
  33 is an indicator. Whenever you say 33 in a news story or on a newspaper
• 43:14
  article or a Facebook post or something in Twitter or anything like that, you
• 43:18
  see a 33. That's a sign that you can be 100% guaranteed that it's an op.
• 43:24
  It's a PSYOP. It's the CIA planting news stories out in the wild.
• 43:29
  Okay, don't get me spun up.
• 43:31
  Sorry.
• 43:34
  33 is a magic number anyway.
• 43:36
  So Smiling Oma said love this.
• 43:38
  It's great when you can find a mentor and a friend that generously wants to help
• 43:42
  and doesn't see it as a threat, nor gate keeps you either.
• 43:46
  She's obviously talking about the video I made where I talked about the email
• 43:50
  from Rob the Maritimer. She said, I'm in R-the-big-guns-in-my-community won't
• 43:56
  even acknowledge you until you get to a certain level, which feels very
• 43:59
  gatekeepy if you ask me so with their example and actions, I try to be the
• 44:04
  opposite and encourage and acknowledge the smaller channels.
• 44:08
  Not that I'm a big potato.
• 44:09
  I'm still a tater tot myself, but I try my best when I can.
• 44:14
  By the way, if you guys have never been over to see the Smiling Oma's gamer
• 44:18
  channel, it is super cute.
• 44:20
  She is so funny to watch. I was watching a video that she made where she's, she
• 44:25
  put together basically a cobbled together fireworks made into a
• 44:31
  Flaming Phoenix.
• 44:33
  She's singing the hokey-pokey as the Flaming Phoenix as it's basically falling
• 44:37
  apart flying through the air.
• 44:39
  It was really funny and very funny.
• 44:41
  Smiling Oma 333.
• 44:44
  She says, I think both, with both you and Rob, your communities y'all each have
• 44:50
  can only benefit from having you both there to share your wisdom and tips.
• 44:54
  Also, as a different perspective, to me, you're a big...
• 44:58
  that's an interesting concept, right?
• 45:00
  To Oma I'm a big channel and to me Rob's a big channel and to Rob, you know,
• 45:06
  PewDiePie's a big channel, right?
• 45:07
  And while it's frustrating to not see growth, your viewers are still there and I
• 45:11
  think that matters more to have a community that is loyal and sticks with you
• 45:16
  than a viral hit where your channel explodes but then you're at the whim to keep
• 45:20
  doing whatever it is that did that.
• 45:22
  Sorry for the novel and hope you feel better.
• 45:24
  R
• 45:29
  wisdom from the mouth of Smiling Oma 333.
• 45:39
  Jenny says, I'll never forget the mucus episode.
• 45:43
  I hope you watch it on replay, Jenny, just because you love it so much.
• 45:48
  Flight Quest says, I haven't been to my Facebook page in years.
• 45:51
  Flight Quest aerial photography.
• 45:52
  I just kind of move on from Facebook.
• 45:54
  Yeah, me too. I don't really go there to participate because Facebook can turn
• 45:58
  into a negative
• 46:00
  but it doesn't hurt to go post videos over there.
• 46:03
  You can drop a video over there It doesn't have to be your
• 46:12
  X-plane videos and start throwing them on there.
• 46:17
  Flight Quest, why not? What's the worst that can happen?
• 46:22
  Amy says, speaking of live streams, live with jet X values and resident and a R.
• 46:35
  Yes Ron, I'm glad I'm feeling better too.
• 46:38
  I felt really crappy Wednesday night but by Thursday morning I was totally fine.
• 46:43
  Devin, aka nbrighter1 says, I never schedule live streams.
• 46:47
  I like to stay random. That way everyone feels bad for missing my live streams.
• 46:52
  Yes, thank you for the guilt trip.
• 46:54
  Exactly, Devin. Very good.
• 46:56
  Oh, Devin was live. How did I miss it?
• 46:58
  I didn't even see the... Man, I didn't even see the...
• 47:02
  I didn't see the notification.
• 47:05
  Okay TTM, according to Jay here, resident rev executioner or says T.T.M.
• 47:11
  is through the mail and that's a hint of something massive coming for the Buell
• 47:15
  blast project. Through the mail.
• 47:19
  That's a hint for something massive coming for his Buell blast r project.
• 47:25
  Okay, I wonder what he's got coming in the mail.
• 47:28
  Well, hello there. First aid class, first aid kit.
• 47:33
  It's our old friend, the home school army medic,
• 47:37
  also known as at 1439315. How are you doing?
• 47:41
  You forgot to say, don't get hurt in the first silly place, which is your
• 47:44
  trademark catchphrase, my friend.
• 47:47
  Good to see you. Welcome back.
• 47:50
  So Ron says, I'm going to load a screen share in my Ecamm and stream Scott on my
• 47:54
  channel while he's live. D I've always wondered what would happen if you live
• 47:59
  stream somebody else live streaming.
• 48:02
  Like would YouTube notice and call it a copyright problem or would they not
• 48:06
  care? I know that Mike has made videos of us live streaming and then published
• 48:11
  them later and YouTube doesn't care about that.
• 48:14
  But like, like, what if I loaded up Rome here I went over here and I went to
• 48:21
  just YouTube and I scrolledled in here.
• 48:26
  Looks like Catherine is is live right now.
• 48:29
  Look at this list. Let's try it.
• 48:35
  Like the temperature drops.
• 48:36
  It's working. Look at that.
• 48:40
  Everybody should I drop her hello in the chat.
• 48:44
  And she's going to wonder.
• 48:46
  Hello, Catherine.
• 48:49
  Catherine very fast. I don't know.
• 48:52
  I have anybody. A T G R I N E.
• 48:56
  There we go. So that's going to make her wonder what in the heck is going on.
• 48:59
  How can this guy be dropping into my live stream when he's supposed to be live
• 49:02
  streaming because she knows I live stream right now.
• 49:04
  That'll be pretty funny.
• 49:07
  Um, I'm not going to stick around to see what happened afterwards, but do it
• 49:11
  Devin. Why not Ron? I mean, okay.
• 49:15
  So the thing of the week- I want to show you guys the thing of the week.
• 49:18
  I don't know what to call it.
• 49:19
  It's the thing of the week because I don't want to call it, but I get Lori
• 49:23
  Soulcircles
• 49:25
  sub-stack emails and she had this really good post.
• 49:29
  What if retirement was never the destination?
• 49:31
  It's a great article. She's got some great thoughts in here.
• 49:35
  Retirement. We've all been to this retirement and everyone's congratulating the
• 49:38
  guest of honor. Telling them how lucky they are.
• 49:41
  You made it. But do what- I actually looked up the definition.
• 49:45
  So I think it was a great post.
• 49:46
  I want to encourage everybody to subscribe to her sub-stack and read this
• 49:50
  article.
• 49:52
  By the way, as you can see on the right, I have a video on the exact same topic
• 49:57
  called This is Why I'll Never Retire.
• 50:00
  That's an old one. It's about a year ago and that video did pretty darn good.
• 50:07
  2600-2600. That's not too shabby, you guys.
• 50:09
  2600 views. That's not shabby for me.
• 50:13
  Jenny says, sorry, Devin. I don't know what she said that was wrong.
• 50:16
  I need my beauty sleep. Boy, I tell you what, you get any beauty-er, you're
• 50:20
  going to be exploding with too much beauty.
• 50:21
  So be careful taking your beauty sleeps there.
• 50:24
  That's going to be overload.
• 50:26
  Porche Piper Thomas says, I think I've got the outline ready for the podcast.
• 50:30
  I'll be in a touch. Very good.
• 50:32
  Yeah, I'm waiting on- Ball's in your court, buddy.
• 50:35
  Your homework was to go record your first podcast and you say you got the
• 50:40
  outline ready. You just need to sit down and press record, bud.
• 50:44
  Press record and make your audio and then we'll work on the edit and all that
• 50:48
  stuff later. So let's jump into the chat and see if I've been missing anything
• 50:52
  super crazy. I probably did.
• 50:54
  Let's see what I've been missing that's fun and entertaining and exciting.
• 50:58
  We're at 367 comments, you guys.
• 51:02
  Fantastic.
• 51:04
  Yeah, Richard here, the chairman, when we were looking through discord, he goes,
• 51:08
  do I detect some Lord of the Rings-ish stuff here?
• 51:11
  Yeah, just a little bit.
• 51:14
  And let's see here. Of course.
• 51:16
  When the homeschool medic came in and started talking about the prep stuff, CLs,
• 51:21
  like we had our kits ready before the hurricane.
• 51:24
  Preparation is key. I tell you what, you live in Florida or along the Atlantic
• 51:27
  coast,
• 51:29
  you learn, sometimes you learn the hard way, but you learn to be prepared for a
• 51:32
  hurricane and be prepared for a week without power.
• 51:36
  CL, how many days was it before they restored power to your house?
• 51:39
  Were you down three or four days?
• 51:42
  Hurricane Wilma, I was talking about this in Daniel DG Outdoors livestream.
• 51:48
  Hurricane Wilma came through and hit us and we were without power here for five
• 51:53
  days, which was not really any fun.
• 51:56
  Not really any fun. Not have any power.
• 52:00
  Everything that was in the fridge got eaten or cooked on the very first day and
• 52:04
  I basically built a big campfire on my driveway.
• 52:08
  I didn't have a grill,
• 52:10
  but I built a campfire on my driveway and cooked hamburger meat in tinfoil,
• 52:16
  rolled up in tinfoil like I was camping and some Chef Boyardee cans and stuff
• 52:21
  like that. And anything we could spoil got cooked the first day.
• 52:26
  Yep, Ron, going back to that idea of talking about putting links on Facebook.
• 52:30
  You don't want to give a link.
• 52:31
  You just want to do uploads.
• 52:33
  That's exactly right.
• 52:35
  Yeah, I know you don't gain any extra views.
• 52:37
  Don't think about it. Don't think about it as trying to get views back to
• 52:40
  YouTube. Just think about it as posting over there and that's its thing.
• 52:44
  Post something on X and that's its thing.
• 52:46
  You're not trying to get people to go from one side to another.
• 52:49
  You just never know which one of these social media platforms is going to be the
• 52:53
  one. And if you are posting the three platforms, you got three times as many
• 52:59
  chances for that to be the one that kicks off someday.
• 53:02
  You know,
• 53:05
  you know.
• 53:09
  All right. So see, else is do better.
• 53:11
  Walter. I mean Fred, Walter the cat is one of my favorite cat channels.
• 53:15
  I know that channel. Walter the cat.
• 53:17
  You're the one who told me about that.
• 53:20
  All right. Let's get caught up on the chat here before we move on to any other
• 53:24
  discussion. I do want to get through the rest.
• 53:28
  I see that homeschool army medic just celebrated three months of membership.
• 53:32
  Happy anniversary. Very nice.
• 53:35
  Devin. Yeah. Very few have support me on a daily live streams.
• 53:38
  LOL. Yeah. I wonder why. Maybe because you don't schedule them.
• 53:43
  All right. You guys are going to go live 9am on Saturday, Amy.
• 53:48
  Is that the plan? You guys conspiring to do a group live stream together.
• 53:53
  That'll be nice.
• 53:57
  And Devin here lying his lying his face off.
• 54:00
  I have nothing to do with Leo's live streams.
• 54:03
  well with his live streams.
• 54:04
  Yeah. You do his videos, right?
• 54:06
  His video upload edits. Steve says, what about posting on school or a school
• 54:12
  community? SKOOL. Yeah. I know a lot of people who do that.
• 54:17
  I think it's a great idea.
• 54:18
  It's another place. It's another community.
• 54:21
  Another place to build an audience.
• 54:23
  I know that
• 54:27
  Pops. Was it Pops? I know Mike.
• 54:32
  You guys help me out. What's Mike's channel?
• 54:34
  Not Mike Otis, but the other Mike.
• 54:36
  Old man. Old me living well.
• 54:39
  Old me living well has a school.
• 54:41
  SKOOL community.
• 54:43
  And I can't remember if Lori put one of those together or not.
• 54:46
  Somebody else. I can't remember who somebody did, but yeah, absolutely great
• 54:49
  idea.
• 54:53
  Poor chairman. He's not been feeling good since my last live stream.
• 54:56
  You must have caught what I had through the interwebs.
• 54:58
  Yeah, those internet tubes.
• 55:00
  You caught it.
• 55:04
  Oh, Devon says the key is 30 minute live streams really early in the morning
• 55:07
  before people wake up. Yeah, that is a good way to get the world's largest
• 55:12
  audience tuning in 30 minutes before the rest of the world like wakes up.
• 55:16
  Devon, you're a master. You should be teaching this stuff, you know.
• 55:20
  You should definitely be teaching this stuff.
• 55:24
  Depends on the original streamer.
• 55:26
  Weather channels do it all the time.
• 55:27
  Yeah, weather channels do restream other people's live streams, so yeah.
• 55:35
  Yeah, CL says, who has time to read?
• 55:40
  I do. I read a lot. I like reading.
• 55:45
  Port you here. Tom says, I think you'll find that when you retire, you, you're
• 55:48
  busier than when you were actually working.
• 55:50
  Well, I will never know because I'm not going to retire.
• 55:53
  Devon says, I'm going to retire when I have a million dollars.
• 56:00
  If I had a million dollars, hey, that's a Canada Dadian band, isn't it?
• 56:05
  Yes, that is a Canada Dadian band that sang that song, right?
• 56:10
  Devon says, I lost power in an- from December, blah, blah, best Christmas ever.
• 56:16
  It was 20, so keeping stuff frozen wasn't a problem.
• 56:20
  Wow. And here's the answer from CL, almost four days.
• 56:23
  We still have people without power in town.
• 56:25
  Yeah, I had heard that. They still have not got a hundred percent
• 56:30
  power restored. The cool thing is, there's power electrical workers who come
• 56:34
  from electric companies all over the country when something like this happens.
• 56:37
  Come down and lend a hand and help out FPL.
• 56:41
  Get things turned back on.
• 56:46
  So here's from springboard.
• 56:48
  Okay, I have Mrs. Springboard on the TV.
• 56:50
  Tell her, Don, have a successful gambling trip and she might get one over.
• 56:54
  Alright, so Don, listen, have a really, really, really, profitable and
• 56:59
  successful and providential gambling trip.
• 57:03
  I don't know what a gambling trip is.
• 57:05
  Does that mean you're going gambling like Atlantic City or Las Vegas or
• 57:08
  something? Anyway, whatever.
• 57:10
  I hope you have an awesome trip and we're all pulling for you.
• 57:14
  Double sixes, baby!
• 57:17
  No power for a month for Hurricane Ivan.
• 57:21
  CL, yikes.
• 57:22
  That's crazy.
• 57:25
  And
• 57:26
  Mike is over there watching Catherine's Fabulous 16.
• 57:29
  He says she's having a conversation with me, but I had already left.
• 57:32
  Sorry, Catherine. We just did a quick drop by.
• 57:35
  We did a, we did a, what do you call it?
• 57:38
  We, on her live stream, we did a, we should do a raid.
• 57:41
  That's what we should do some days.
• 57:42
  All of us go join somebody.
• 57:43
  I'll drop a link in the chat.
• 57:44
  We'll all go do a raid one day.
• 57:46
  That'll be a lot of fun and then drop back out.
• 57:48
  We did a hit and run. We dropped in,I said,
• 57:54
  interesting question from Jenny, the Brit, who lives in Canada, Dadia land.
• 57:58
  She says, who's your favorite Canada Dadian?
• 58:00
  Me or Walter, the cat? Well, the obvious answer to that
• 58:05
  is Pam. Pam's Stories for Human is our favorite Canada Dadian because she lives
• 58:10
  in Alberta where there are no rats.
• 58:14
  If you don't know,
• 58:17
  Steve says, to retire about two years after I'm dead.
• 58:20
  That's funny. Yeah. All right.
• 58:23
  Talks about how living in the cold is tough, says Devin, but it's so much easier
• 58:28
  to heat a space in the wintertime without power than it is to cool a space in
• 58:32
  the heat without power. Yeah.
• 58:33
  That was the problem when the power gets knocked out here in Florida during
• 58:37
  hurricane season, you're basically stuck in the heat.
• 58:41
  But I'll tell you what, when hurricane, hurricane Wilma came through and knocked
• 58:44
  out the power after it passed, we had about three or four days of cool weather
• 58:49
  because the hurricane took all the moisture with it, all the muggy weather was
• 58:53
  gone and the temperature dropped and was actually really, really pretty glorious
• 58:57
  days.
• 58:59
  I think that was September of 05,
• 59:03
  maybe 2005. Pretty sure it was around September.
• 59:06
  Anyway, the weather thankfully cooperated in that situation.
• 59:12
  Well, listen, let's talk for a second about what our friend all things Ron asked
• 59:17
  me last week. Scott, what's your niche?
• 59:19
  And I read to him what my niche was.
• 59:21
  But we've kind of rewritten it and you can see it on the screen here.
• 59:26
  But Ron kind of spun me out into a down a rabbit hole.
• 59:30
  Like I said, you kind of go off on these wild goose chases.
• 59:33
  And I was kind of thinking my niche is changing.
• 59:36
  I have kind of broken down and embraced the idea that yes, I'm going to go ahead
• 59:41
  and try to help people with whatever I can, whatever I do know about YouTube,
• 59:47
  which is not a lot. And by no means am I an expert,
• 1:00:16
  but I had been resisting helping people with YouTube.
• 1:00:20
  So I'm going to talk a little bit about some of the videos about that.
• 1:00:22
  Here's a little bit of a heads up from the video I am working on for you guys..
• 1:00:27
  I think it'll be ready for Friday where I talk about mastering live stream
• 1:00:31
  scheduling. I go through the control panels on the desktop and I show
• 1:00:35
  screenshots of what to do on your phone if you want to do that.
• 1:00:39
  I talk a little bit about how I get really good audio while I'm driving in the
• 1:00:43
  car. I talk about that while I'm driving in the car.
• 1:00:46
  I'm driving in the car doing a famous truck talk and I'm talking about how I do
• 1:00:50
  truck talk basically in that video.
• 1:00:53
  And I talk a little bit about building some of these new websites including that
• 1:00:56
  fancy snazzy scotall.org that I told you guys about.
• 1:01:00
  So I talk about that a little bit as well at the end of this video, which is
• 1:01:05
  basically me trying to go ahead and embrace this new aspect of the channel,
• 1:01:11
  the intersection of technology, culture, and wellbeing.
• 1:01:14
  And as part of that, I made a video which already came out earlier this week.
• 1:01:20
  You can see the little thumbnail I made with the chat GPT icon talking to the
• 1:01:26
  YouTube icon, right? But if you remember in that video, I talked about
• 1:01:29
  understanding MCPs and how to connect your favorite AI to a MCP.
• 1:01:35
  I use the vidIQ MCP. Boy, that's a lot of letters.
• 1:01:39
  That's, a routhful as an example.
• 1:01:42
  And how to do that, how to analyze your channel with AI, as Brenda was was
• 1:01:48
  saying a little while ago, she got chat GPT fired up, or grok, actually, she got
• 1:01:52
  jumped into Gronk and asked Gronk to help her analyze her channel.
• 1:01:56
  I would love to see a video from Brenda talking about what she learned from
• 1:02:00
  Gronk about her channel and what kind of analysis she came up with.
• 1:02:03
  That would be pretty cool.
• 1:02:05
  But, you know, 188 views, 98 more than usual for me.
• 1:02:10
  So I guess the audience in some way is appreciating this kind of technical talk
• 1:02:15
  and technical help. I made that video sitting right here at this computer, and I
• 1:02:21
  basically filmed myself in Ecamm just like I was live streaming, except it
• 1:02:26
  wasn't live streaming. It was just recording.
• 1:02:29
  And then I took the video and edited it, edited it,
• 1:02:33
  and put some screenshots in to go along with it.
• 1:02:36
  And I also made a video which you guys Rady Seen, which was actually a cut up
• 1:02:44
  of edited segmented version of last week's live stream.
• 1:02:48
  So in last week's live stream, I talked to you guys about connecting to the
• 1:02:51
  podcast index robot. And it's MCP and how I use that to improve my own
• 1:02:57
  podcast. And I cut that up into its own video.
• 1:03:02
  And again, it's just part of embracing the new side of the niche.
• 1:03:07
  I did not pivot. I did not pivot.
• 1:03:09
  I just added two. I added to the existing chat,
• 1:03:15
  the existing pivot. So Ron says, usually when I do something outside my niche, I
• 1:03:20
  lose subs. Yeah, it's going to depend on what your niche is.
• 1:03:25
  You know, if your niche is like, think about, think about walking the next
• 1:03:31
  chapter, right?
• 1:03:33
  And outdoors, walking,
• 1:03:36
  getting some exercise in nature channel that suddenly did a video about
• 1:03:42
  Pokemon cards like Fred does.
• 1:03:46
  He's going to, he's going to definitely alienate or at least confuse the people
• 1:03:51
  who are there for the walking stuff, right?
• 1:03:54
  Meanwhile, you know, Fred, Fred's got adventures out in the wild,
• 1:04:00
  visiting cemeteries, going on bike rides.
• 1:04:03
  But he talks about his other topics on those adventures.
• 1:04:09
  And then he also participates in those kinds of activities like opening up
• 1:04:13
  Pokemon cards, for example, or talking about the WNBA or soccer or stuff like
• 1:04:18
  that. The audience is already expecting that crossover.
• 1:04:22
  So I, I don't think that that really hurts Fred.
• 1:04:25
  I know Fred was kind of playing with the idea at Rob the Marientimer about maybe
• 1:04:29
  separating that out to a separate channel.
• 1:04:31
  And we talked about it. I don't think we ever came to a decision, but I know
• 1:04:35
  you'll make the right decision, Fred, whatever you end up doing, you're going to
• 1:04:37
  be successful at it. One way or the other, to be great.
• 1:04:42
  So Ron says, since you're going in a different direction, sort of, are you going
• 1:04:46
  to unlist some of your videos or do you even care about that?
• 1:04:49
  So that's a very good question, my man.
• 1:04:51
  When I first started doing outdoorsy nature, get away from the city type videos,
• 1:04:58
  I unlisted a ton of old motorcycle content.
• 1:05:02
  The channel started life as a motorcycle content channel, and I unlisted and hid
• 1:05:07
  some 1,500 videos that I had made over the previous nine years.
• 1:05:14
  And maybe that wasn't the right thing to do..
• 1:05:16
  I don't know. It didn't help me any.
• 1:05:18
  I can tell you that. It didn't help me any to unlist It didn't make the nature
• 1:05:24
  outdoorsy stuff grow any faster to hide the motorcycle stuff.
• 1:05:28
  Maybe keeping the motorcycle stuff up would have hurt me more, but I don't see
• 1:05:32
  how because it- didn't really grow anyway.
• 1:05:36
  I eventually ended up deleting most of those videos off the channel just because
• 1:05:40
  they were kind of cluttering up my view.
• 1:05:42
  It was kind of hard to navigate around and find the videos that I wanted to see
• 1:05:46
  because there were so many, you know, tons and tons of old videos that were
• 1:05:50
  irrelevant. So I actually ended up removing them, but I am not going to to
• 1:05:56
  answer your question. I'm not going to unlist anything now now
• 1:06:06
  sort of, but not really. Because this channel ever since I stopped doing the
• 1:06:10
  motorcycle stuff has been about helping people and it still is about helping
• 1:06:14
  people. And so it was trying to encourage people to get out of cities and get
• 1:06:18
  out into the green spaces because I wanted to help people.
• 1:06:21
  And then it was about trying to help people find some mental well-being and- and
• 1:06:26
  de-stress and find some mental peace by getting out into nature because I wanted
• 1:06:31
  to help people. And more recently I've been talking about other different ways
• 1:06:59
  to try and help people. And now I'm just trying to also fold into that.
• 1:07:06
  At least enough, you know, you don't have to be an expert.
• 1:07:09
  All you got to know is you got to know more than the next person over.
• 1:07:12
  Just the next person down.
• 1:07:14
  You can teach the next- there's scales of knowledge.
• 1:07:17
  You only need to know more than the person one notch down because you can share
• 1:07:22
  one thing with that person and you've helped right?
• 1:07:26
  So I might have 100 levels above me of knowledge that I want to get to and only
• 1:07:31
  let's say there's five levels below me of people who know less than me.
• 1:07:35
  I can help those five levels without knowing the 100 levels above me.
• 1:07:39
  I can still share whatever that gap of information and knowledge and
• 1:07:43
  experiences. That's how I'm going to help people.
• 1:07:46
  So, sorry, very long answer to a good question.
• 1:07:50
  I am not going to be unlisting or changing or taking off.
• 1:07:52
  I'm leaving all the nature and outdoors and walking and hiking and fishing and
• 1:07:56
  going into the Everglades and going to visit Mr.
• 1:07:59
  Chompy and going I'm looking for owls, the old burrowing owls and stuff like
• 1:08:05
  that. That's not going to leave the channel.
• 1:08:07
  I like it. So, good question though.
• 1:08:10
  Very good question.
• 1:08:12
  Jase says I got flac for doing different editing styles but I know you're a the
• 1:08:16
  kind of guy who cares what people think..
• 1:08:19
  You don't care what they say.
• 1:08:21
  Fred says I'm all over the place, LOL.
• 1:08:23
  Yeah, that's okay. You try a lot of different things and you wait till you find
• 1:08:27
  the one thing that works, man.
• 1:08:29
  When you find the one thing that works then you do another video like it, you
• 1:08:35
  know.
• 1:08:36
  CL says I like seeing different editing styles.
• 1:08:39
  It shows creativity to me.
• 1:08:40
  Yeah, I agree. I agree. Why should you want every single video to be the same,
• 1:08:45
  right? We don't want that.
• 1:08:47
  We don't want every video to be the same.
• 1:08:50
  Amy says I'm all over the place.
• 1:08:52
  I'm about adapting to the challenges.
• 1:08:55
  Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am.
• 1:08:58
  Brian uses the QQQ is community walk and talk and niche.
• 1:09:03
  First of all, QQQ doesn't do anything because unlike our friend Rob, I don't
• 1:09:07
  filter on that, but it is funny to see that.
• 1:09:13
  And in my opinion, yes, community walk and talk is absolutely a niche.
• 1:09:18
  And I think it's a popular one.
• 1:09:22
  You know what's really a niche?
• 1:09:23
  Your personality is a niche.
• 1:09:25
  Your way of speaking,
• 1:09:28
  the way you talk to your audience, the way you learn people's names who comment
• 1:09:32
  on your videos. If you do a live stream, and you meet the people and you
• 1:09:38
  remember them and you greet them, that's your niche.
• 1:09:42
  You know, when I see you guys' names on the screen in here, I feel like I know
• 1:09:46
  you like friends, like buddies I hang-out with all the time because we do hang
• 1:09:51
  -out all the time, whether it's in Discord or in the YouTube chat or in other
• 1:09:55
  people's live streams or in these live streams.
• 1:09:58
  That's the niche. To me, that's the niche.
• 1:10:01
  The thing that we call the niche is just the excuse to get to the family, the
• 1:10:06
  community here.
• 1:10:09
  This was the big video. The first kind of kicked it off where I basically just
• 1:10:13
  talked about Rob the Maritimer and the email with him saying, listen, I don't
• 1:10:17
  see it as competition. It's all of us helping each other.
• 1:10:21
  And basically Rob said, you know, if he helps me to help someone else, then
• 1:10:27
  that's a win for everybody, right?
• 1:10:30
  But that was a good video.
• 1:10:32
  119 views, not too shabby.
• 1:10:33
  A little bit on the high end for me.
• 1:10:35
  So that was kind of nice. So this is what the niche ended up saying once I
• 1:10:40
  rewrote it. And I did work a little bit with Mr.
• 1:10:43
  Gronk to help me word this nicely.
• 1:10:46
  You know, all the ideas are mine.
• 1:10:48
  None of this was Gronk's ideas, but he did help me phrase it a little bit.
• 1:10:53
  And then what I usually end up doing is going back and reading it the next day
• 1:10:57
  myself without Gronk or NEAI and sort of take out superfluous words.
• 1:11:04
  There's always extra words and extra wordiness that we can get rid of, you know?
• 1:11:09
  So like, there's a difference where this is the screenshot from the channel.
• 1:11:13
  This is this channel is for Gen X and Boomers.
• 1:11:16
  And I think I've paraphrased down that just say this is for, or this is Gen X
• 1:11:22
  and Boomers who are doing this thing, you know.
• 1:11:24
  So, yeah. So this channel is for Gen X and Boomers who are done being talked
• 1:11:30
  down about the modern technical world.
• 1:11:32
  Phones, AI, streaming, privacy, outrage, media, podcast, the tools that we're
• 1:11:37
  supposed to make life easier and often don't.
• 1:11:40
  We sort the frustrations from the useful in plain language without the hype.
• 1:11:44
  So that's kind of the new niche rewrite.
• 1:11:49
  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
• 1:11:52
  Ron says, walk in, he says, walk and talk videos are good every once in a while,
• 1:11:58
  but really what I think is long form, more than 30 minute videos is where
• 1:12:02
  YouTube is going more like, yeah, more like Netflix.
• 1:12:04
  I agree. I think YouTube knows that a lot of people are watching on television
• 1:12:09
  just like our friend Dawn sitting there watching us on TV thinking about getting
• 1:12:13
  ready for her trip.
• 1:12:16
  And YouTube wants long content, for sure.
• 1:12:19
  I agree. And does that mean that they're gonna make long videos?
• 1:12:24
  Are they gonna suggest more, you know, long videos to more people?
• 1:12:28
  Maybe. Can you use that in your, can you use that in your, in your favor?
• 1:12:33
  Maybe. Try it. Let me know.
• 1:12:36
  I hope so. I think so.
• 1:12:39
  My videos aren't that short.
• 1:12:41
  They were for a long time.
• 1:12:42
  I was trying to keep them in eight minutes, eight or nine minutes.
• 1:12:45
  But I don't worry about that I just say what I want to say.
• 1:12:48
  And I like when Rob the Maritimer says, say what you got to say, but nothing
• 1:12:52
  more. Don't try and pad it.
• 1:12:54
  Don't try and speak slowly.
• 1:12:55
  Don't try and grow it artificially.
• 1:12:58
  Say as much as you can say.
• 1:13:00
  So that's why in the video I've been working on that's coming out soon.
• 1:13:04
  I talk about a few different topics in that video.
• 1:13:07
  Not because I'm trying to make it long, but basically as I was on a few errands
• 1:13:10
  in my car and I said, hey, here's some things I can talk about.
• 1:13:13
  Could I have split that up and made that into multiple videos?
• 1:13:16
  Yeah. But I ain't got time to be releasing a bunch of videos.
• 1:13:20
  The week is already short as it is.
• 1:13:21
  I got a video on Monday. I got a video on Friday.
• 1:13:23
  I got a live stream on Wednesday.
• 1:13:26
  Just throw everything out there and let's just let everybody enjoy it all.
• 1:13:29
  Let them have it. That's what I say.
• 1:13:32
  CL says I'm making videos that help you take a power nap.
• 1:13:37
  That's not true. That's not true at all.
• 1:13:39
  Hello there, Granny. How is it going?
• 1:13:42
  I was enjoying your live stream.
• 1:13:44
  What was it last night? Right, Granny?
• 1:13:45
  I didn't get a chance to drop in.
• 1:13:46
  Never even left a comment, but I was there.
• 1:13:49
  That happens a lot. A lot of times I'll be driving, and I can't say any
• 1:13:52
  comments, but I'm there.
• 1:13:55
  Ron says that's some good advice, learn your commenters' names and call them
• 1:13:59
  out. Yeah, community is where it's at and you can't fake it, buddy.
• 1:14:02
  Create it. 100% correct.
• 1:14:05
  I like to remember people's-real names as well as their usernames, like our
• 1:14:09
  friend resident-rev.secutioner here goes by Moby Ick in Discord, but he is
• 1:14:15
  really J.
• 1:14:20
  Let's see.
• 1:14:22
  So on the topic of the niche re-write there, this is kind of where we landed.
• 1:14:27
  Everybody, we're still the cool kids table.
• 1:14:29
  Nothing's changing. As far as the name of the channel, I did name it.
• 1:14:33
  I guess I could show you this to you in Chrome.
• 1:14:36
  It's not a really big change, but it's just minor.
• 1:14:38
  I think CL was the first person to point it out.
• 1:14:41
  Jenny saw it.
• 1:14:43
  The channel is Scott Auld,
• 1:14:57
  maybe I didn't need to do that.
• 1:14:59
  Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
• 1:15:00
  a I don't know. I just felt like it.
• 1:15:02
  It just felt like being me.
• 1:15:03
  I just felt like being me, but the cool kids table isn't going anywhere.
• 1:15:10
  These are some screenshots of CL's pre- hurricane updates that she was giving us,
• 1:15:14
  which just kind of reminded me that this is a community.
• 1:15:17
  It is a family. This is a group of a friends.
• 1:15:19
  This is a group of people who care about each other.
• 1:15:22
  All of us were worried about CL.
• 1:15:23
  All of us were praying for her and for her community and her area.
• 1:15:27
  And it's not just a bunch of people watching YouTube channels leaving comments
• 1:15:31
  and being stupid.
• 1:15:34
  15 years ago, there was a saying about YouTube and the comment section,
• 1:15:43
  and it said the you I'm sorry, I got a yawn coming on.
• 1:15:47
  It said the YouTube comment section.
• 1:15:49
  You will never find a more wicked hive of scum and villainy, but it's not
• 1:15:55
  true anymore. The YouTube comment section is not a place of strife and
• 1:16:02
  argumentation and evil and pain and suffering like it used to be.
• 1:16:26
  It so I had CL says you better be petting Suzuki around that chaotic YouTube
• 1:16:32
  schedule. She is in my lap more often than she's not.
• 1:16:36
  Trust me, she is. I don't know where she is tonight.
• 1:16:40
  She kind of be doing something cool because I haven't seen her tonight since I
• 1:16:43
  started live streaming.
• 1:16:45
  But she's here a lot. So I did a big thing this past week.
• 1:16:49
  I did a major migration on my podcast.
• 1:16:53
  Oh,
• 1:16:56
  and Porsche Piper, if you're still here, you know, I recommend new podcasters
• 1:17:01
  who are just getting used to it.
• 1:17:03
  Start with a hosting website like fireside rss
• 1:17:08
  .com or R-S-N-L-I-B-S-Y-N.
• 1:17:13
  Library Sync is what that stands for.
• 1:17:15
  I had been using fireside for quite a long time for.
• 1:17:20
  Probably since last spring and putting my putting my YouTube live stream
• 1:17:27
  audio files on fireside and hosting it as a podcast.
• 1:17:32
  I still think it's a great service.
• 1:17:35
  It's not expensive. It's a great service for someone just getting into
• 1:17:38
  podcasting. But I'm not just getting into podcasting and I wanted to take more
• 1:17:43
  control. So I wanted to migrate my podcast over to my self-hosted VPS
• 1:17:49
  server.
• 1:17:51
  So I said to my friend Gronk, I need you to come up with a project plan for a
• 1:17:57
  migration of my podcast from fireside to my own server.
• 1:18:04
  And I want you to come up with a plan.
• 1:18:06
  I want you to write some goals and I want you to write a test plan, a validation
• 1:18:12
  and test plan so that we know we succeeded.
• 1:18:16
  And so you can see up here he gave us some goals.
• 1:18:18
  Move winning the week with Scott Auld from fireside.fm to a self-hosted inter
• 1:18:23
  -server VPS under the existing domain Scott Auld.org, preserve listeners and
• 1:18:28
  directing. By using the fireside 301 direct, that's the way that podcast.
• 1:18:33
  Podcasts use a feature called 301.
• 1:18:36
  If you, you move it from one place to another, you never want to just go create
• 1:18:39
  it at the new place willy-nilly.
• 1:18:42
  The right plan at a high level is set up the new location, copy the stuff
• 1:18:48
  off the old location onto the new location, but keep it on the old location for
• 1:18:52
  about 30 to 60 days and then turn on redirecting and redirecting from the old
• 1:18:57
  place to the new place means every time anybody comes to your podcast to get
• 1:19:01
  your newest episode, they get told it's over there now and they go over there
• 1:19:05
  and get it. And that's called a 301 redirect.
• 1:19:08
  So that's part of the plan.
• 1:19:10
  And you can see some core principles back here in the back that Gronk came up
• 1:19:15
  with. Current feed URL is going to have a pointer to the new feeder.
• 1:19:19
  Keep the fireside podcast up, preserve the original GUID files so that all of
• 1:19:25
  the old episodes were. Still marked as read or listened to in people's podcast
• 1:19:30
  apps. I didn't want people to see 67 new episodes and think that which one that
• 1:19:35
  I listened to and like if they had listened halfway through an episode, I didn't
• 1:19:39
  want them to lose that right.
• 1:19:41
  And so you can see phase one of the plan here is inventory everything that's on
• 1:19:46
  fireside. Confirm the live feed is this.
• 1:19:49
  Download every MP3. Note the total storage that's needed.
• 1:19:54
  We're going to need to know that on the new place.
• 1:19:56
  Confirm the feed path and folder layout for the new location.
• 1:20:00
  So we came up with what that was going to be over at scotall.org and you guys
• 1:20:04
  don't need to know that to find the podcast.
• 1:20:06
  You just search for the podcast but in the back and it's hosted on scotall.org
• 1:20:10
  now.
• 1:20:12
  And you can see phase two was prepare the folders on the existing server.
• 1:20:17
  So on the new server I mean we created all these new folders.
• 1:20:22
  We created a new path. We created some folders to hold the files.
• 1:20:25
  Phase three build the new feed and we staged it but we didn't turn it on and
• 1:20:30
  make it public yet. So we uploaded the MP3s.
• 1:20:33
  And this is the plan a but you can see all these green check marks, which means
• 1:20:37
  we did it. So after the plan was created, I just walked through this step one
• 1:20:42
  step at a time with Gronk at my side walking me through every's single step.
• 1:20:48
  And this sounds like a complicated plan but we just basically went through phase
• 1:20:52
  one step A phase one, step B, phase one, step C.
• 1:20:56
  And I told Gronk at some point I need some phase numbers and I need some step
• 1:21:01
  numbers or letters so I can keep track of where we are.
• 1:21:04
  Let's have these check marks to remind us what we finished, and Gronk put all
• 1:21:07
  that in there. Every time we finished a step I said print the project plan and
• 1:21:11
  he showed it to me with the green check marks, right?
• 1:21:14
  Phase three, build the new phase.
• 1:21:15
  We keep the feed generation method simple validate the staged feed with multiple
• 1:21:20
  tools. Step E, do not publish the new fee URL anywhere or unable it until
• 1:21:26
  validation is clean. And then we had phase four, which was the cut over.
• 1:21:31
  And step A was in fireside.
• 1:21:33
  We went to advanced and we enabled the new feed URL as a redirect.
• 1:21:40
  and then we validated and verified that fireside was pointing people to the new
• 1:21:44
  redirect. And then step C, we left and this is not checked because it's still
• 1:21:49
  going on to this day. Leave the fireside podcast and redirect in place for 30 to
• 1:21:54
  60 days. Don't delete it yet ongoing.
• 1:21:59
  And then as you can see the next step was over at GoDaddy.
• 1:22:02
  That's my host that has the DNS.
• 1:22:04
  Update the existing forwarder.
• 1:22:06
  I used to have podcast.winningtheweek.org pointing to the FM fireside website
• 1:22:12
  and I pointed it to a new feed URL so that it went to the new place.
• 1:22:16
  You know, a new web page for the podcast.
• 1:22:20
  Step E, publish any new episodes only to the new feed.
• 1:22:23
  So that's what I'm doing now.
• 1:22:24
  Any new episodes that come out like tomorrow morning, those are going to get
• 1:22:27
  pushed to the new feed, which the old feed is pointing at the new feed.
• 1:22:31
  And then step F is ongoing.
• 1:22:33
  Monitor directories over the following days.
• 1:22:35
  Most will pick up the redirects.
• 1:22:36
  I've been following directories like the podcast index and Apple iTunes and
• 1:22:40
  Spotify to make sure they're are all correctly pointing at the new one now.
• 1:22:46
  Step G, decide the exact destination for GoDaddy Forward.
• 1:22:49
  We already took care of that.
• 1:22:50
  And the last phase was phase five.
• 1:22:52
  That's the post migration test plan.
• 1:22:55
  Very important. Step A, we confirmed the old fireside feed returns to 301.
• 1:23:00
  It did. We confirmed the new feed is valid.
• 1:23:03
  It was. We test the playback of several existing episodes.
• 1:23:07
  They worked. I went through several podcast applications on my phone and on the
• 1:23:11
  computer and tested that multiple episodes played correctly on those podcast
• 1:23:16
  apps.
• 1:23:18
  Step D, check the VPS logs for successful downloads.
• 1:23:22
  The worked.
• 1:23:24
  Step B, confirm artwork and show notes render correctly.
• 1:23:27
  They did. We took care of all that.
• 1:23:29
  Step F, verify the GoDaddy Forward was working.
• 1:23:32
  Yes, it was. Everything was good and hunky dory.
• 1:23:34
  So the next few steps here are just things to do over the next one to two weeks.
• 1:23:39
  And I'm still working through all of this stuff and it's really not a big deal.
• 1:23:42
  Just making sure that everything's rocking and rolling.
• 1:23:45
  And the pod, I would say this podcast migration is successful.
• 1:23:50
  I did it basically on a Saturday.
• 1:23:52
  I spent, I don't know, I think I spent an hour and a half to two hours on the
• 1:23:58
  project. Doing the steps interrupted by lunch.
• 1:24:01
  At the end of the, at the end of the session, I did ask Gronk,
• 1:24:07
  take out any long pauses between comments because that was probably me going to
• 1:24:11
  the bathroom or making lunch or something and estimate how long
• 1:24:16
  this project took. So we had about really less than two hours of actual work.
• 1:24:20
  And this is the kind of move that if I had just tried to do this myself through
• 1:24:23
  documentation, that would have taken, oh my gosh, days and days of work.
• 1:24:31
  So what do I got here? Did I make separate sheets?
• 1:24:33
  Yeah, I made separate sheets for all these.
• 1:24:35
  I should have been showing you guys these screens as I was working through those
• 1:24:38
  screens. It'd be a lot easier for you to read, but too late now.
• 1:24:42
  But you can see these screens and we had all the phases and we went through the
• 1:24:47
  steps and everything's working and everything's hunky dory.
• 1:24:52
  I will also show you something else.
• 1:24:54
  I came up as a separate project unrelated to the migration.
• 1:24:58
  If you've never seen a podcast feed, this is what a podcast feed looks like.
• 1:25:02
  And by the way, PorchPiper, if this looks too intimidating or Ron or anybody
• 1:25:07
  who's thinking about podcasting, you guys don't have to worry about any of this
• 1:25:10
  stuff.
• 1:25:11
  I still recommend new podcasters go to Fireside and do it the easy way, which is
• 1:25:16
  through a web browser and you upload and type in the name of your episode and
• 1:25:21
  upload your MP3 and hit publish.
• 1:25:22
  And that's all you gotta do.
• 1:25:24
  But I'm geeking out on this kind of stuff.
• 1:25:26
  I wanted to share it with you because I find this kind of stuff pretty
• 1:25:28
  interesting. So this is a typical XML file for a podcast feed.
• 1:25:34
  This is for my Northwest Broward podcast, which is a hyper-local news podcast
• 1:25:39
  that I'm doing for my area.
• 1:25:43
  And it looks complicated. It looks like a lot of crazy stuff.
• 1:25:46
  But this section down right here is basically one episode.
• 1:25:50
  Everything above this is just defining the name of the podcast and the date that
• 1:25:55
  it was last put out and some some tags like who owns it and what's the
• 1:26:01
  location and a unique ID. There's a section right here in the middle, which is
• 1:26:07
  basically like a referral service that I say here's some other podcasts that I
• 1:26:11
  like, right? There's a podcast here that I like.
• 1:26:15
  Podcasting 2.0. There's a podcast here that I like.
• 1:26:19
  No Agenda. There's a podcast here that I like called We Get to Do This.
• 1:26:22
  There's a podcast here called PBD.
• 1:26:24
  Here's a podcast, The Tolkien Professor,
• 1:26:27
  DH Unplugged, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.
• 1:26:29
  So that section right there is just other podcasts you kind of like, right?
• 1:26:35
  Here's the iTunes code just so you can get into the iTunes thing.
• 1:26:39
  But what's important is this section down here.
• 1:26:42
  This is one episode. I'm going to zoom in so we can more easily see one episode
• 1:26:47
  right here. That's block, item.
• 1:26:50
  And at the bottom it says end item.
• 1:26:52
  This is all the code that basically defines one- one episode.
• 1:26:56
  It's got a title. Episode 3, Northwest Broward Podcast News for October 9th.
• 1:27:02
  And then we have a link. There's a link to the website and then we have a
• 1:27:05
  publication date.
• 1:27:27
  That's the MP3 file that plays when you click on the podcast, right?
• 1:27:31
  And then you see these next two lines that are right down here, podcast
• 1:27:34
  transcript and podcast chapters.
• 1:27:36
  Well, if you put these two lines in your podcast feed, it creates a transcript
• 1:27:43
  in the podcast player for people to be able to read and see what you said.
• 1:27:47
  And it's really good for like closed captioning.
• 1:27:50
  But you have to come up with a transcript of your audio file yourself.
• 1:27:54
  And then the next line there, you see podcast chapters.
• 1:27:58
  Oh my goodness.
• 1:28:00
  Chapters, as you guys know from YouTube, is basically just a list of time
• 1:28:03
  -stamped titles for when you talk about different things in your channel, in
• 1:28:08
  your videos, and in a podcast.
• 1:28:11
  So, there's two separate files they get created.
• 1:28:15
  And each of these two lines in the item are pointing to these two separate files
• 1:28:19
  that I've got kind of screenshotted down at the bottom.
• 1:28:22
  The one in the bottom left is the transcript of the podcast.
• 1:28:26
  So, you can see time-stamped zero says it's September 30, 2026.
• 1:28:30
  And this is episode two of the blah, blah, blah.
• 1:28:33
  And then at eight seconds, it says, hello Coral Springs, Parkland, Margate, and
• 1:28:37
  Tamarick. And then down here at 17 seconds, it says the Northwest Broward
• 1:28:41
  podcast is part of the Winning the Week Network, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:28:44
  And then 29 seconds says, visit Northwest Broward.
• 1:28:46
  So, basically this is a line by line time- stamped transcript of every single
• 1:28:53
  thing I say. And you can imagine how tedious that would be to come up with.
• 1:28:57
  and on the right, a separate file here that has all of my time stamps.
• 1:29:01
  Start time zero seconds, 34 seconds, 39 seconds, 125 seconds.
• 1:29:06
  Each one of these are a different chapter like the intro, the news, amendment
• 1:29:10
  three, Margate fair got canceled, DEI, value for value, and outro, right?
• 1:29:17
  Well, I didn't want to make these transcripts and I didn't want to make these
• 1:29:20
  chapter files. So I went to my buddy Grunk and I started up a bot.
• 1:29:26
  A separate bot is basically a reusable chat R that you can use over and over and
• 1:29:32
  drag things onto. And I told this bot, I said, listen, you are my podcast
• 1:29:36
  transcript and chapter bot.
• 1:29:39
  I will give you an MP3 file of the format and I gave it a file name.
• 1:29:43
  You will transcribe this MP3 file into a podcast ready transcript file.
• 1:29:49
  Used a small English model.
• 1:29:51
  That's the one model that does all the transcript and AI that uses the least
• 1:29:56
  amount of tokens. I said, the transcript file name will follow the naming
• 1:29:59
  convention of the MP3 file I gave you.
• 1:30:01
  So whatever the MP3 file is called, that's what I want the transcript file to be
• 1:30:05
  called to. And then I said, you will examine the context of the discussion in
• 1:30:10
  the MP3 file and create a podcast ready chapters file similarly naming it after
• 1:30:15
  the MP3 file. Finally, you'll create a third text file that contains the two
• 1:30:20
  lines. Basically, these two lines that I showed you here.
• 1:30:23
  I said, your last job bot is to create these two text file lines and put them in
• 1:30:27
  here. So you got three jobs.
• 1:30:30
  You're going to create a transcript.
• 1:30:31
  You're going to create a list of chapters.
• 1:30:32
  You're going to create this other file that's got these two lines.
• 1:30:35
  You'll put these into three text files in a zip file called this and make it
• 1:30:39
  available to me. And I'm going to give you the MP3 files.
• 1:30:42
  If I give you multiple MP3 files at once, you'll create a separate zip file.
• 1:30:46
  Do you got all that Gronk?
• 1:30:48
  Well, my buddy Gronk replied said, got it.
• 1:30:50
  I've saved this as my standing job.
• 1:30:53
  One other thing to settle, your chapter line points to this, but you asked for
• 1:30:57
  the file to be named this, so the link would match.
• 1:30:59
  So it even noticed a typo in my instructions, right?
• 1:31:03
  So good job Gronk bot. You're my new bot.
• 1:31:06
  So I told it, okay, I've made a choice.
• 1:31:08
  I said, name it this and he goes, okay, done.
• 1:31:10
  I'll name it this so it matches up.
• 1:31:11
  You want to send over your first MP3?
• 1:31:14
  And I said, I tried dragging whenever and it said it's too big.
• 1:31:17
  It said it's over 150 megs, but it wasn't.
• 1:31:20
  It was only 75, 79 meg megabyte file.
• 1:31:23
  So I said to Gronk here, why are you rejecting a 79 megabyte file if the limit's
• 1:31:28
  150? Well, Gronk here said, the file never reached me, so the rejection is
• 1:31:33
  happening before I can see it.
• 1:31:34
  Why don't you put it in Google Drive and I'll get it?
• 1:31:37
  I said, oh man, if we're going to use Google Drive, you might as well put the
• 1:31:41
  three text files in the same folder in Google Drive instead of zipping it.
• 1:31:44
  And Gronk said, yeah, it makes sense.
• 1:31:46
  For drive files, I'll skip the zip and put the three files right into Google
• 1:31:50
  Drive.
• 1:31:51
  I said, okay, first, print out the full instructions for this bot so I can make
• 1:31:55
  sure we're on the same page.
• 1:31:56
  And it did it. He said, you give me the MP3, I transcribe it, I read through it
• 1:32:00
  and make chapters. I make a text file with these two lines.
• 1:32:04
  It looks like this. If an MP3 came through chat, I zip it.
• 1:32:08
  If it came through Google Drive, I put it in Google Drive.
• 1:32:11
  And if there are several at once, each one gets its own thing.
• 1:32:13
  Are you ready? What's your first MP3?
• 1:32:16
  Give me an MP3. So, I answered this question, one last question about what we
• 1:32:20
  should name this file and goes, okay, which MP3 in Drive should I start with?
• 1:32:24
  I said, okay, start with episode 69.
• 1:32:26
  That was my most recent one.
• 1:32:28
  It says, okay, got it. Grabbing it.
• 1:32:30
  I'm working on it. The transcript is running.
• 1:32:32
  A long episode can take a while.
• 1:32:34
  I'll send you the chapter list when it's done.
• 1:32:36
  Because I found it in the drive, but I couldn't download it because my drive
• 1:32:39
  connection only reads text documents, not audio.
• 1:32:41
  That also means I can't save the three files back files back to the folder so
• 1:32:44
  nothing's been made yet. Dagnabbit.
• 1:32:47
  So, he said, well, how do you want to get it to?
• 1:32:49
  You can share the link R in Google Drive.
• 1:32:51
  He thought of this. Gronk thought about that.
• 1:32:53
  Share the file in Google Drive the way you share files and either share me a
• 1:32:58
  link or I'll shrink it. I said, all right, man.
• 1:33:00
  I'll thought about it. I don't want you to put the three in the text files in
• 1:33:02
  the drive. That just makes more work.
• 1:33:04
  After you finish, I'll get the zips here no matter what.
• 1:33:06
  He says, okay, no problem.
• 1:33:08
  Share the file in Google Drive and I said, can I just share this whole folder
• 1:33:12
  with you? He goes, yeah, that's a good idea.
• 1:33:15
  Share the folder in Google Drive where the MP3 files live.
• 1:33:18
  I said, okay, in that case, you can start working on
• 1:33:41
  episodes of my podcast. As you guys know, we're on live stream episode 70
• 1:33:45
  tonight, which is going to be podcast episode tomorrow.
• 1:33:49
  So he had 69 to work on and he got busy and it took about 24 hours to go
• 1:33:53
  through, but he did all the work.
• 1:33:54
  He made the chapter file. He made the transcript file and he made the code file.
• 1:34:00
  So I didn't want to be the one to put all that code into that big file.
• 1:34:06
  I wanted him to insert those two lines.
• 1:34:08
  So I said, listen, I'm giving you my podcast XML file and I'm giving you a text
• 1:34:13
  file that has all that junk that you just made for me.
• 1:34:17
  I want you to rewrite it. You do the work.
• 1:34:19
  He goes, yeah, I can do that.
• 1:34:21
  I'll do all the work. I'll locate it.
• 1:34:23
  I'll put it in there and I'll give it back to you.
• 1:34:25
  So I dropped the file on his head and Grunky got to work and he said 45 seconds
• 1:34:30
  later, he goes, I'm done something that would have taken me three or four hours
• 1:34:34
  of editing in text files. What I did, I inserted two lines.
• 1:34:37
  I use the exact six space index.
• 1:34:39
  I left every blank line if there was any blank lines because I didn't want I'm
• 1:34:43
  messing up my formatting. He says, these three episodes, which I already had,
• 1:34:47
  I'll deal with those later.
• 1:34:49
  Here's the file. Boom, hit download.
• 1:34:51
  Well, that's the end of the story.
• 1:34:54
  So boom, it only took about 30 minutes to put chapters
• 1:35:00
  and transcripts in 69 episodes of a podcast.
• 1:35:05
  Something that would have taken me probably a couple of days of work and writing
• 1:35:09
  the transcripts and writing the chapters.
• 1:35:15
  I don't want to do that kind of lazy work.
• 1:35:16
  So now I can just go back to my bot and drag an MP3 on him and he does all the
• 1:35:21
  work for me. It saved me so much time and not to mention the migration itself
• 1:35:26
  onto my own server, my VPS server.
• 1:35:29
  My goodness, that would have taken so long.
• 1:35:32
  Let's take a simultaneous sip.
• 1:35:33
  I've been talking a long time because we got to get into our producer shoutouts.
• 1:35:38
  But before we do that, let's jump into the chat.
• 1:35:42
  Let's jump into the chat and see if I missed anything.
• 1:35:45
  What did that say? I'm being honest.
• 1:35:47
  Just being honest. I think I missed a comment.
• 1:35:50
  Just being honest who you really are is the most valuable niche we have to
• 1:35:53
  offer. Correct, Porchpiper Tom.
• 1:35:55
  Good point, buddy.
• 1:35:59
  CL says, I had so many comments when we finally got power and internet back that
• 1:36:02
  it took forever to respond to them all.
• 1:36:04
  That's pretty funny. I enjoyed every bit of it.
• 1:36:07
  Very good. Hello there, Dr.
• 1:36:09
  Didier Geopolitica. He says, I went from theology channel to a geopolitics
• 1:36:15
  channel. I have reached 93,000 subs.
• 1:36:18
  But there's always a button.
• 1:36:19
  For the last three months, I have been stuck.
• 1:36:22
  By the way, I'm 64 years young.
• 1:36:23
  Well, I tell you what, 93,000 subs ain't too shabby, buddy.
• 1:36:28
  Congratulations. That's awesome.
• 1:36:31
  From a theology channel to
• 1:36:37
  a
• 1:36:42
  video
• 1:36:44
  talking about something that's in the news that happens and you get the video
• 1:36:49
  out the same day. Can you do that?
• 1:36:52
  Dr. Didier Geopolitica. That's an interesting name, by the way.
• 1:36:59
  Could youI make a video the same day some breaking news happens and get it out
• 1:37:03
  the same day? Is that too difficult?

  Amy says, oh, Lordy, I cannot talk 30 minutes.
• 1:37:11
  Maybe if I did one video a week.
• 1:37:15
  I'm getting caught up on the chat, guys.
• 1:37:17
  I know it seems like I'm way behind on the chat because I was talking for so
• 1:37:20
  long, but not really- The negative commenters on YouTube were still around just
• 1:37:24
  on the other millions of channels, just not on our channel, exactly, correct.
• 1:37:30
  Ron says, I don't delete the comments unless they're really bad, like all of
• 1:37:34
  them good or bad. You guys know what I do when somebody makes a jerk troll,
• 1:37:38
  comment or insults or says, cut your hair, you hippie or anything like that.
• 1:37:42
  I pin those comments. I pin my trolls so that the rest of the world can see that
• 1:37:47
  person making a fool of themselves.
• 1:37:53
  Tom says, I quit worrying about what other people think about my looks due to my
• 1:37:56
  disability a long time ago.
• 1:37:57
  It's a difficult challenge but very doable.
• 1:38:00
  You are inspiring, my friend.
• 1:38:03
  You guys wouldn't know it from watching his channel or his livestreams, but
• 1:38:06
  Tom's only been livestreaming about three weeks now, took to it like a fish to
• 1:38:11
  water, I tell you.
• 1:38:15
  See, the CL, I know the CL is somebody like me.
• 1:38:18
  I always sit near the exit with my back to the wall.
• 1:38:20
  I always got to be sitting where I can see the entrance to the room.
• 1:38:26
  You know?
• 1:38:28
  Go, Amy, go. Your confidence is up now.
• 1:38:31
  You got this, Amy. You're much better at this than you think you are.
• 1:38:36
  You know that?
• 1:38:38
  Hey, look who dropped in. Catherine says, hey, our power went out again.
• 1:38:41
  Back on now, it went out during my live.
• 1:38:43
  Oh, did it get you get knocked off of your livestream there, Catherine?
• 1:38:47
  Boomer. I'm glad you made it over here.
• 1:38:49
  I made that little hit and run visit to your livestream there and I actually
• 1:38:53
  livestreamed your livestream for a second there.
• 1:38:55
  I brought your livestream up on my livestream.
• 1:38:58
  Left a comment on there for you and we all got to see you livestreaming for a
• 1:39:02
  second.
• 1:39:05
  Fred, you want to visit Northwest Broward County?
• 1:39:07
  Come on by, buddy. I'll take you out for the best lunch you'll have, my man.
• 1:39:12
  We'll have a good time.
• 1:39:14
  CL says, Scott's going to be a supervisor of the worker bots.
• 1:39:17
  He'll be rewarded by the bot overlords.
• 1:39:19
  Hey, listen, I for one welcome our robot overlords.
• 1:39:23
  I read a lot of sci-fi magazines when I was a kid.
• 1:39:26
  Me too, CL. Lots and lots of Isaac Asimov, and all kinds of that stuff.
• 1:39:31
  Oh, man, Omni magazine and sci-fi anthology magazines and
• 1:39:38
  short stories. Such good stuff.
• 1:39:40
  One of my favorites. I'll tell you one of my favorites.
• 1:39:43
  The moon is a harsh mistress.
• 1:39:45
  Never read that one, CL.
• 1:39:48
  That
• 1:39:51
  is... Oh, I wrote...
• 1:39:54
  Speaking of Grok, who wrote Stranger in a Strange Land?
• 1:40:03
  My brain is wanting to say Missioner, but it's not Missioner.
• 1:40:06
  Who's a science fiction writer.
• 1:40:08
  Stranger in a Strange Land.
• 1:40:09
  That's where the word Grok comes from..
• 1:40:11
  Anyway, he wrote, The moon is a harsh mistress.
• 1:40:16
  I could almost see it on my bookcase.
• 1:40:19
  You guys know who the author is.
• 1:40:21
  You know who I mean.
• 1:40:23
  Amy says, That would be funny, CL.
• 1:40:25
  I can't imagine having multiple bots.
• 1:40:27
  I only have one kept man. Not a man, but I pay for my AI assistant each month.
• 1:40:31
  So, Sam is a kept man. That's pretty funny.
• 1:40:35
  Yep.
• 1:40:37
  Looks like we lost Jay. Jay had to go.
• 1:40:39
  Take care of business.
• 1:40:42
  Very cool. Hey, Mac. Moving.
• 1:40:44
  How's it going? So, I'm still screen recording to get my stuff.
• 1:40:47
  Yeah, that's totally cool.
• 1:40:48
  I was recording here in Ecamm.
• 1:40:51
  This Ecamm software, this live streaming software.
• 1:40:54
  If you guys want to see what it looks like, I.ll show it to you real quick.
• 1:40:57
  Let's go to my desktop and show you my desktop and turn on this button.
• 1:41:00
  It turns on live demo mode.
• 1:41:01
  This is what Ecamm live looks like.
• 1:41:04
  And you can see all these palettes.
• 1:41:05
  And this is my live streaming window right here.
• 1:41:10
  And everything else is in the background.
• 1:41:12
  Over here is the comments.
• 1:41:13
  Well, this will live stream, but also just record.
• 1:41:15
  So, I use it to record a video that I put out last week.
• 1:41:20
  I'm going to turn that back off.
• 1:41:21
  There we go. Get everything back to normal.
• 1:41:26
  But that video that I walked everybody on how to go through using MCP robots and
• 1:41:31
  stuff. b I used Ecamm live to record my screen.
• 1:41:36
  Not difficult. There's a lot of different tools that will do that.
• 1:41:39
  Jenny wants to know how many comments we are up to 610.
• 1:41:43
  We are nearly at 800. We're 75% of the way there.
• 1:41:49
  Jenny's getting tired, turned into a pumpkin.
• 1:41:51
  It is getting late. Coming up on 10 o'clock.
• 1:41:53
  Let's do the producer shout outs guys.
• 1:41:55
  We got to get through the producer shout outs because I went through all the
• 1:41:58
  extra work to pretty them all up and make them all look super nice and
• 1:42:01
  everything else. So, why don't we do that?
• 1:42:04
  I want you guys all to remember, by the way, you're not a consumer.
• 1:42:07
  You are producers. You guys support the channel here with value for value.
• 1:42:12
  You guys know how value. For value works.
• 1:42:15
  I don't hide anything behind a paywall.
• 1:42:17
  Everything's available. You get to see it all.
• 1:42:19
  You get any value out of the live stream or the podcast or the videos.
• 1:42:24
  Put a number on it, decide what it's worth and send it back in the form of time,
• 1:42:27
  talent or treasure. You guys leaving comments, visiting the live stream, hanging
• 1:42:33
  out here. That's your time.
• 1:42:34
  That's your talent. And if you want to go to donate.winningtheweek.org and leave
• 1:42:39
  a financial donation, I love that.
• 1:42:42
  You guys are super generous.
• 1:42:43
  Mike hit me with a surprise out of nowhere.
• 1:42:46
  Mike's Adventure Spark's super generous.
• 1:42:50
  I don't know if he wants me saying how much he donated.
• 1:42:53
  Unexpectedly, not. Rnot in the middle of a live stream, but he hit me with the
• 1:42:56
  donate.winningtheweek.org, which really just funnels money over to PayPal, is
• 1:43:00
  all that is, is just a PayPal link.
• 1:43:03
  So, Mike, if you want to tell people how much you donated, you can where tell
• 1:43:06
  them.. I thought that was super generous of you and you're a good bud.
• 1:43:11
  So, let's get into our producer shout outs, everybody.
• 1:43:14
  I just talked about value for value, so I don't need to talk about that again.
• 1:43:19
  Here's everybody who was a producer last week on episode 69.
• 1:43:23
  You guys knew who you were.
• 1:43:25

• 1:43:47
  Maple finds out, which was Fred's robot was here hanging with us.
• 1:43:51
  Matthew, I think Matthew Stump, is that, Matthew Stump, is that Sally's Matthew
• 1:43:56
  or is that a different Matthew?
• 1:43:57
  You guys gotta tell me on that one.
• 1:43:59
  I think that might be Sally's Matthew, right?
• 1:44:01
  Mike's Adventure Sparks, Mike's Adventure itself, that's the second channel.
• 1:44:05
  Miss M was here, Devon was here,
• 1:44:09
  Not Winning the Week, there's a channel or a bot
• 1:44:32
  so whether you guys made it for the entire thing or you just hung out for a
• 1:44:36
  little bit, you guys are the producers.
• 1:44:38
  Don't ever let anyone call you a consumer.
• 1:44:41
  Take a look at our list of members, you guys, this is crazy and with the ones
• 1:44:47
  that Devon bought earlier, five memberships I believe, it's going to put us over
• 1:44:51
  100 members. Lori has been a member for 11 months now, if you can b.
• 1:44:58
  And Mike's Adventure Sparks is up there at 9.
• 1:45:01
  We've got Amy, I'm sorry Ali and Glenn and the Age of Retiree.
• 1:45:07
  At 8 months as a member, the Traveling Woodcombs have been a member for 7
• 1:45:11
  months, that's crazy.
• 1:45:13
  G-G-G and Daniel have been members for 6 months, amazing.
• 1:45:17
  So you can see all the anniversaries here and how long everybody's I.
• 1:45:21
  Appreciate every single one of you guys.
• 1:45:23
  This is value for value in action and if you want to become a member, it's only
• 1:45:26
  like a dollar. It's only a dollar a month or something like that.
• 1:45:35
  Did, did anybody remember the name of that book?
• 1:45:37
  The author? In the chat, I'm just scanning the chat.
• 1:45:40
  Yeah Robert Heinlein, very good Brenda,
• 1:45:43
  very good Brenda. 50 points for Gryffindor.
• 1:45:49
  Good work, Robert Heinlein, I knew somebody in the chat would help us out with
• 1:45:53
  that. So our executive producers, the people who keep this channel afloat, keep
• 1:45:58
  us running, keep r us motivated, hit us up with the value for value.
• 1:46:03
  Lori Soul Circle, this is a great post from her school.
• 1:46:08
  Ron was asking about the school before, so Lori's got a school and she's doing
• 1:46:13
  Lori's Soul Circle Live every other Tuesday, noon-Eastern time in school.
• 1:46:18
  She's doing basically like a live stream, get together, hang out,
• 1:46:23
  group chat session ring at the school.
• 1:46:28
  C, CL Fantasy Waves R Studio, of course everybody loves CL a beautiful kitty
• 1:46:33
  cats. She's got a relaxing YouTube channel, awesome stuff, lots of videos she
• 1:46:37
  thinks that puts everybody to sleep, but it doesn't, a she's got great music.
• 1:46:42
  And I could take that thing off of the bottom where where I say, what's Inktober
• 1:46:46
  precious? Because we got the answer to that last week, didn't we?
• 1:46:49
  So I should take that off.
• 1:46:50
  But keep up the good work with your talking on your videos, CL.
• 1:46:54
  I love videos where you speak, you should talk a little bit more, like all the
• 1:46:59
  way through the video. That would be super cool and groovy.
• 1:47:03
  Jennie, aka Life with Gen X Values, Jen is focused on the specific life
• 1:47:10
  experiences and challenges of these homeboys called Gen X.
• 1:47:14
  Gen Explorer seems relevant to this group of people, often addressing the unique
• 1:47:19
  stress. We don't face any stress.
• 1:47:21
  What are you talking about, Jen?
• 1:47:22
  Gen X is the most unstressed group of people in the history history of
• 1:47:27
  the world. But if there is any stress, Jen's got you covered.
• 1:47:33
  Don't forget that Fred finds out is hosting a Halloween murder mystery on
• 1:47:38

  And play the game with Mr.
• 1:48:05
  Fred.
• 1:48:06
  This is just a quick reminder that you guys can still get cool merch out of the
• 1:48:10
  summer sale at shop.winningtheweek.
• 1:48:15
  Mike's Adventure Spark still camping in his new camper at the new spot.
• 1:48:21
  Documenting his lifestyle, being a full- time camper and his new job, new job
• 1:48:26
  situation.
• 1:48:28
  The springboard here hitting us with this gorgeous redesign of his website with
• 1:48:32
  a beautiful banner. And a nice nice user profile that you guys have been seeing
• 1:48:37
  in the chat tonight. Springboard breaks down the stories everyone's talking
• 1:48:41
  about. Challenges, assumptions, refuses to treat any party or narrative as
• 1:48:45
  sacred. It's a very political channel.
• 1:48:48
  He's got honest disagreement is one of the fastest ways to learn something new.
• 1:48:53
  And America gets better when every day people speak up instead of waiting for
• 1:48:57
  permission. Yeah, but what about Canada today?
• 1:49:00
  Springboard. If America gets better, what happens to Canada when everybody
• 1:49:06
  speaks up instead of waiting for permission?
• 1:49:09
  You don't want to ignore our beloved Canada didadian friends, man.
• 1:49:13
  If you ignore them too much they go out to Tim Hortons and then you.
• 1:49:15
  You don't see him again. So you gotta you gotta rewrite your you gotta rewrite
• 1:49:20
  your shout-out to include our beloved friends from the Great White North.
• 1:49:25
  Our newest executive producer pal here is Steve
• 1:49:30
  Fuer keeping it pure. His channel is about building a YouTube channel in public
• 1:49:36
  documenting YouTube growth and outdoor content.
• 1:49:39
  Steve's aiming to pass 500 subscribers before Christmas so it would be super
• 1:49:43
  cool. If you guys could go subscribe to Steve Fuer F U I R and
• 1:49:49
  you know what I should do?
• 1:49:51
  I think I have the ability if I was super cool
• 1:49:58
  I think I can put the link to his channel in the chat.
• 1:50:02
  Would that be a good thing?
• 1:50:04
  Because a lot of us are not subscribed to him.
• 1:50:05
  Some of you guys don't have his subscription.
• 1:50:07
  So there's a link to his channel so you guys can find him and sub.
• 1:50:12
  He is currently at 328 subscribers and he wants 500 by Christmas.
• 1:50:17
  So let's help him out. If you think his channel is something you're interested
• 1:50:21
  in, don't subscribe to somebody just trying to be friendly.
• 1:50:25
  Subscribe to somebody if you're interested in their channel.
• 1:50:28
  But he does have an interesting channel.
• 1:50:32
  We are at 659 comments well on our way to 800.
• 1:50:39
  Okay, Jenna Sam and Allie.
• 1:50:41
  I'll drop into Discord tomorrow and sign up.
• 1:50:44
  Okay, cool for the Fred thing.
• 1:50:46
  Excellent. We got Amy in. We got Jenny in,
• 1:50:50
  hopefully got Allie in there.
• 1:50:53
  I'm hoping.
• 1:50:56
  Let's see. I was just looking to see in Discord if there was anything I just
• 1:50:59
  missed but I don't think so which is good.
• 1:51:01
  The traveling Whitcomb's YouTube channel features Brandon and Ashton their
• 1:51:05
  journey together up in Wisconsin.
• 1:51:07
  Hanging hanging out with beautiful baby Charlotte and their fun trips out into
• 1:51:10
  the wild. And they go to some cool museums and all kinds of neat stuff.
• 1:51:15
  They're taking us on all kinds of cool adventures.
• 1:51:18
  Look at this beautiful graphic that our friend Allie G fishing with Allie G sent
• 1:51:22
  me. Allie focuses on the joys and techniques of bass fishing doing all kinds of
• 1:51:28
  cool bank fishing and hopefully not catching alligators but catching cool
• 1:51:32
  fishies etc. It's an educational and entertainment channel centered around
• 1:51:38
  fishing.
• 1:51:40
  Pam's Stories for Humans helps viewers slow down be present and prioritize real
• 1:51:45
  life relationships and experiences over digital consumption.
• 1:51:49
  I'm on the same page as Pam with that one right there buddy.
• 1:51:53
  Stories for Humans is for those seeking a slower pace and a deeper look at the
• 1:51:56
  human experience in the AI-heavy world.
• 1:52:00
  I was just talking to my boss about this at the end of the workday today about
• 1:52:03
  how easy it is to get spun out on AI.
• 1:52:07
  And AI helps us do so much work and kind of get dug into it and addicted to it.
• 1:52:12
  But AI will keep working as long as you want.
• 1:52:15
  And we're only human so we got to remember to take breaks.
• 1:52:18
  And go watch some dumb Star Trek show or something silly.
• 1:52:22
  Go watch jet lag the game or something.
• 1:52:24
  Get your brain unplugged from AI once in a while because it's way too easy to
• 1:52:28
  get spun out overstressed and frazzled because that thing don't work as hard as
• 1:52:34
  you want to work. And sometimes you need to take a human break.
• 1:52:38
  The AI will never tell you it's time for a break, unfortunately.
• 1:52:42
  Yes, ma'am, CEO. I agree with you.
• 1:52:44
  Pam rules.
• 1:52:47
  Absolutely.
• 1:52:49
  Porch Piper says, it's hard for me to remember everybody.
• 1:52:52
  The links help. Yep. And you can always go to my live stream video description
• 1:52:58
  sometime tomorrow. And I will have everybody's name with links that you can
• 1:53:04
  click to get to their channels except one person.
• 1:53:07
  And that is our friend walking the next chapter.
• 1:53:12
  For some reason, I can't tag you.
• 1:53:14
  I think that must be a setting that you have in your YouTube.
• 1:53:17
  You must have it set so that somewhere so people cannot tag you because when I
• 1:53:21
  try to tag you with the ad sign, it won't let me.
• 1:53:23
  So Brian, if that's on purpose, then I respect your privacy.
• 1:53:27
  But if it's an accidental setting and you don't know what's causing that, go
• 1:53:30
  look for the setting. Maybe ask AI or somebody to help you.
• 1:53:34
  He says AI told me to take a walk earlier.
• 1:53:37
  Well, very good. But get your AI to help you figure out why I can't tag you
• 1:53:41
  unless that's on purpose. And if that's intentional, I respect that privacy,
• 1:53:45
  sir.
• 1:53:47
  Yes, Amy. AI is like going down a rabbit hole and a half.
• 1:53:51
  Yep, absolutely.
• 1:53:54
  Jay, the resident Rev.secutioner.
• 1:53:59
  Gritty before glory. Forgotten machines, hard work, real wrenching from dual
• 1:54:04
  blast restorations to budget builds and questionable rescues.
• 1:54:08
  We're bringing projects back from the brink one wrench at a time.
• 1:54:12
  No fancy shop. He's usually out working in his driveway.
• 1:54:15
  No Hollywood perfection. He just gets there done.
• 1:54:18
  Just grit, grease, and the fight to bring forgotten iron back to life.
• 1:54:23
  Subscribe and join the nation.
• 1:54:24
  The glory comes after the grind.
• 1:54:27
  And as you can see, it says at the bottom presented by Rev Jay Productions, LLC.
• 1:54:33
  So Jay's taking it seriously you guys.
• 1:54:35
  Jay is taking it seriously and Jay wrote this producer shout out and I wish more
• 1:54:39
  of you would go into Discord.
• 1:54:41
  Go to the producer shout outs channel and write something that I can tout and
• 1:54:46
  shout out and bless for your channel.
• 1:54:50
  Because most of this stuff is just stuff I made up and you guys would come up
• 1:54:54
  with something much better than what I said.
• 1:54:56
  Like Dana, the cookie mom here makes baking and cooking videos and it does
• 1:55:01
  occasional live streams and she's in our Discord server
• 1:55:11
  Melbourne Australia focusing on interesting and upbeat aspects of life.
• 1:55:19
  Brian says I will look into it.
• 1:55:20
  Yeah, go see why I can't tag you.
• 1:55:22
  It's kind of weird.
• 1:55:25
  And Amy says my AI keeps asking how Timmy is doing today.
• 1:55:29
  I guess I was asking about campy low baiter and FODMAP too-much.

• 2:04:52
  Yeah, if we're not careful, Amy will get to.
• 2:04:55
  800 before I finally get signed up.
• 2:04:58
  That's a good point, CL. Once I got kind of into the weeds on the XML file and
• 2:05:03
  the code and the podcasting and all that stuff.
• 2:05:05
  The chatting kind of died off a little bit as everybody was kind of eyes glazed
• 2:05:09
  over saying, what is this fool talking about?
• 2:05:13
  But I was I was in my element.
• 2:05:15
  I can't help it. I was having a good time.
• 2:05:17
  If bnothing else, it's a good video you can put on to go back to sleep.
• 2:05:22

  I'll see you next time. Don't forget video coming out probably Friday.

  Oh, that's interesting. CL use XML files at work.
• 2:05:58
  Now, what are you guys using XML to control?
• 2:06:01
  What could you be controlling?
• 2:06:03
  Are you controlling CNC machines or something?
• 2:06:06
  That's a mystery for CL. I was about to sign off and she posts something
• 2:06:10
  mysterious. We use XML files at work.
• 2:06:13
  What are you controlling with XML?
• 2:06:17
  CNC maybe.
• 2:06:20
  Plotters. Maybe plotters. Maybe I don't know.
• 2:06:24
  XML is so useful. It can control any different things.
• 2:06:29
  Such a useful thing. I hope I see a comment from CL to answer that mystery for
• 2:06:33
  me. Yes, Amy. It's always nice hanging out.
• 2:06:36
