- 5:02That's good And it looks like Mike showed back up.
- 5:05Mike was here real early is he was here earlier than everybody, but he um, I
- 5:11think he bailed out and then came back.
- 5:13So he's here now and that's what's important.
- 5:15There we go
- 5:17And did anybody else drop in since we spun this thing up?
- 5:22I see that pops showed up.
- 5:23How's it going? My good friend.

- 6:01You The comment you left me earlier.
- 6:04We'll be talking about that
- 6:06Not be not too long from now
- 6:11Let's knock a couple of topics out before because, because I want to talk to
- 6:15Fred about this project He's got coming up pretty soon But before I do Let me
- 6:20just burn through a couple of topics.
- 6:22I had here that I wanted to mention
- 6:25Got a couple of buttons and stuff.
- 6:27I got to do here
- 6:29a
- 6:31Sister reminder to everybody that we have a discord server and it's a lot of fun
- 6:36in there a lot of good time We're having it's basically a glorified chat room,
- 6:39but it's also got a live Are you still in the voice room right now Fred you were
- 6:43in there earlier?
- 6:45Could I be in there? I probably you might still be live in the voice room there
- 6:49So if anybody's in discord wants to be in there now Go in there and say hi to
- 6:54Freddy Fred and they might actually come through your mic here.
- 6:56You never know But if you want to join discord, it's really easy Just click the
- 7:01link in the video description and come see us and hang out
- 7:05But I did some cool things this weekend Three new websites.
- 7:10I stood up on my VPS server just for the fun of it Scott all org basically I
- 7:15just created that as a holding tank just to kind of hold all these other
- 7:18projects. I'm doing Own the feed org I set up because I'm I'm kind of
- 7:24becoming a well I want to become a bit of a podcasting coach to people who Have
- 7:30YouTube channels and if you have a YouTube channel and you do live streams It's
- 7:34very easy to. You're also turn that into a podcast and get your message out to a
- 7:39wider audience and also in Some ways protect yourself from
- 7:45Hang on a second. I want to turn something off real quick
- 7:49Mike you join me and I am you also protect your channel a little bit from if if
- 7:54YouTube decides They don't want you on YouTube for some reason you say something
- 7:57they disagree with or something like that your podcast still
- 8:02Outlives YouTube the channel, so that's that's valuable So own the feed org if
- 8:08you're interested in that that I put a little bit of information in there on
- 8:11that page And there's way to contact me we get together and then just for
- 8:16giggles I started up a podcast just kind of from my own Sanity check like how
- 8:21hard is it really to do and just from the beginning to end soup to nuts?
- 8:25I created this Northwest Broward which is the name of my County Podcast it's a
- 8:30hyper local news podcast Created a little website for it Northwest, Broward
- 8:35podcast comm and the website is basically just informational for the podcast
- 8:40It's nice when a podcast has a website to go along with it, but it's not
- 8:43necessary It's not really a requirement
- 8:47But that was something I was doing this past weekend to play with and put up a
- 8:50couple of news Episodes on that podcast just basically a way to remind myself
- 8:56how easy it is to do that kind of stuff
- 8:59So I see one blind grandpa jumped in how is it going?
- 9:06What are you doing all right we lost.
- 9:08Your voice there
- 9:10Oh Sorry, I had a mute-mikey Mike's in the lounge with me, Rony's got you
- 9:15running in the I see so I didn't want it to lead it.
- 9:18I Got you. Yeah, he's talking.
- 9:21Well, we can't hear him. So unfortunately Are you can't hear probably cuz you
- 9:26were muted right? No, I don't hear him at all Um, I don't know Mikey go ahead
- 9:30and say something. I Don't think I can route that.
- 9:35Nope. Nope. I can hear you Yeah, the problem is if he's watching the live stream
- 9:40that's gonna come through too.
- 9:41So like you said, it'll create a feedback loop, right, you know
- 9:46Jen says to the chairman are you a Tesco or asda kind of guy or maybe you're a
- 9:52fancy and go to Waitros like I think I got a hop out of here cuz it's getting
- 9:56like a little care Yeah, say goodbye to all right.
- 9:59Say goodbye to discord
- 10:04Can't do more than one thing at a time and look Brian showed up How's it going,
- 10:09buddy? We were hanging out with Brian over at Laurie soul circles live stream
- 10:14earlier today And he was hanging out in there with us
- 10:19So let's hit on the topic I want to know more about I know a little bit about it
- 10:23You've done a pretty good job of describing it in discord But for those who are
- 10:26not in discord and know absolutely nothing Let's just take it from the beginning
- 10:30and talk about this program slash Live- action game that you're gonna do at the
- 10:36end of the month for Halloween.
- 10:38Why don't you just describe it?
- 10:42Well, I guess first I'll start off with how I decided that this is something
- 10:46that I wanted to do
- 10:49I was planning on doing some live streams throughout the Halloween season
- 10:56for This is what I want I wanted to do like a haunted house and people probably
- 11:02have saw the trailer for it before where it was like the haunted house
- 11:06The one I was doing Santa Fred Adventures I was doing like
- 11:12the Santa Fred haunted movie theater thing and I wanted to
- 11:18play like the Public domain horror movies like the you know, the worst the
- 11:25better
- 11:27So I ran through a few dry runs some practice runs
- 11:33Practice streams with that and I was instantly getting
- 11:39Copyright show and
- 11:42So they were like taking down so I was trying to email back and forth to
- 11:50YouTube to try and figure out like like these are supposed to be public domain
- 11:53movies And they're like, yeah, but it could be somebody has some kind of claim
- 11:58to it and you just Where you know You can try it again.
- 12:03But you know if you get too many of those strikes, you're gonna your channel is
- 12:07gonna go. Bye. Bye
- 12:09So I was like, okay great.
- 12:11Well, I guess I'm not doing that and so I came I kind of try to do
- 12:17About that time I was coming up with my idea to start doing card opening card
- 12:22pack. Oh, right, right and so I figured on Friday nights.
- 12:26I would do card packs and then so the next four Fridays I'm doing
- 12:33like Halloween themed card openings
- 12:36so I've got like Magic the Gathering kind of monster haunted
- 12:42stuff So like every Friday my little pony Halloween through this whole month
- 12:48every Friday. You're You're gonna do a live stream.
- 12:49That's gonna be a themed card pack opening you mean
- 12:53Yep up until Third the 30th-th and so I was just thinking about other
- 13:00stuff that I could do And I'm like, hmm.
- 13:02Do I want to do card? I mean, it's like a five Friday month, right and so I was
- 13:09trying to think of something else I could do and a came across this
- 13:15one stream where they were playing like a It was like a Dungeons and Dragons.
- 13:20They were doing And I was like, wow How about like a choose-your-own adventure
- 13:26instead of me being like a dungeon master or something like that?
- 13:30I could just be a guide and let people do like a choose-your-own adventure for
- 13:36for Halloween and Then I thought like okay.
- 13:41Well, what how is that gonna work?
- 13:42How am I gonna get people do it instantly?
- 13:44I was like
- 13:46Discord Scott's discord. Yeah, sure.
- 13:48There's people in there. Yeah, sure.
- 13:50I'll do that. I'll do that.
- 13:52So I Fired up maple and I said, this is what I want glared..
- 13:57How do we do it? and for those who don't know who maple is maple is my chat GPT,
- 14:03virtual assistant and
- 14:06So, of course, she's like, yeah, sure we could do that.
- 14:08Let's do it. And so that's how it started.
- 14:11We just started
- 14:13Peace in it. I said, okay.
- 14:15Well, I think it should be a choose-your- own-adventure murder mystery for
- 14:18Halloween, but it should be Halloween themed She's like, oh, yeah, sure.
- 14:23We could do this and do that do that And so we just started bouncing ideas.
- 14:27Ideas off each other and of course, you know chat GPT gets paid to like agree
- 14:31with you and
- 14:33so I had to kind of Tell her like if I come up with a bad idea, please
- 14:39tell me you think it's a bad idea you know and
- 14:44and so. She's she's gotten better at it and So we came up
- 14:51with the idea of a murder mystery happening at a place called Blackthorn Manor
- 14:56And we came up with this whole backstory and this whole
- 15:01Like how The spine of the story is there We've got all of
- 15:07the graphics for all the the scenes and all the places and all the the NPCs
- 15:15We're we're finalizing the character sheets So what happens is if
- 15:21you sign up to play what's gonna happen is you're gonna get a message from me in
- 15:26discord right attached to that message is going to be a character sheet with
- 15:32your character's name their picture and
- 15:36Kind of their backstory, but the backstory is gonna be like how you're related
- 15:40to The main character who is Edgar Blackthorn and he's
- 15:47gonna be the murder victim, right a
- 15:52And so it just tells you like how you're related to that person and what you're
- 15:57doing there and then from there
- 16:01The adventure starts so and the butler did it right
- 16:10You May think so. You may think so.
- 16:13But the the main thing is this it's the rules are
- 16:18So so the main rule is
- 16:24Everybody's gonna have a motive Whether it's a character somebody who's a player
- 16:28or somebody who's an NPC
- 16:32Everybody's gonna have a reason to be involved in this, right?
- 16:37and so the rules are gonna be that
- 16:42You can lie and this means NPCs to NBC's can be lying to you Your fellow
- 16:48players could be lying to you or they could be telling you the truth.
- 16:52You don't know, right? and so as a group you have to go around the map pick out
- 16:58where you where you want to go where you want to investigate and You ask the
- 17:02NPCs questions you look for clues
- 17:06You may find something you may find a clue that's worth something.
- 17:10You may find a red herring.
- 17:11You don't know, right and
- 17:14You have to decide and it should take about two hours.
- 17:18That's what I'm thinking like the game should be no more than two hours and at
- 17:22the end The group has to come to a consensus on who they think did it.
- 17:30It could be an NPC Could be another player I'm not telling you
- 17:37right because you don't know and
- 17:41and so it's gonna be the whole thing of playing off each other trying to figure
- 17:44out who you can trust who you can't trust and
- 17:48then finally get into the end where you take all that you've learned and then
- 17:53you
- 17:55Say who do so you think it is and then
- 17:59If y'all are right, you're right.
- 18:01If you're not then the killer gets away.
- 18:06I Reminds me of a lot of different things kind of rolled into one right the old
- 18:11the old-fashioned dinner murder mystery games that people used to play sitting
- 18:16around a tip dinner table and Dungeons and Dragons like you said and then a game
- 18:20of clue sitting put around playing the board game clue and
- 18:25Yeah, just just even elements of
- 18:29What do you call those rooms the lock rooms that people go into?
- 18:33Yes escape room. Yeah, I've kind of got that that group Yeah, a cooperative type
- 18:37thing, you know, so Yeah, very cool.
- 18:40It's gonna be awesome. But Fred we have to do something Our friend Jenny here is
- 18:46unfortunately about to burst With anticipation and I'm making her wait for so
- 18:52long, but we need a major laser show Because there's some there's some super
- 18:57chats and some memberships that have come in and she's just been saying Scott
- 19:01Don't miss out on these super chats and the memberships and the laser show we
- 19:04have to do it Well, so let's just let's just give some props here This happened.

- 19:46That's gonna be a lot of iced tea and last but not least this is Jenny said we
- 19:52need more women in the stream and I just want to affirm that Concept that is
- 19:56definitely true. We definitely always need more ladies in our live stream.
- 20:00So thank you to the Generous folks.
- 20:03I can I can go get my wife and tell her to sit here and stay right or well You
- 20:07can start with maple you can make that
- 20:10There was a couple of people in the live chat when you were talking that were
- 20:13just clamoring for maple to join our chat here
- 20:17All right And the other I could get her in if you know the room But I don't know
- 20:22if you could get it to come through zoom or not if you can route her audio
- 20:24through zoom That'd be pretty funny It's worth a try Good point though You said
- 20:30you told her to let you know if she thought anything was a bad idea and she
- 20:34didn't stop you from drinking those Sodas, so maybe she's not the one To trust
- 20:41She's like, yeah sure. Yeah, exactly.
- 20:44She was actually picking them for me.
- 20:46She's like, yeah. Yeah, she's a sadist.

- 21:28Lori you texted me and
- 21:32Mike I think and one more person and I did not know that number.

- 21:40Rhonda or somebody you're gonna have to let me know who that was the other
- 21:44number in the text chat there
- 21:48So, do you have a time it's lined up have you decided when that's gonna be
- 21:54Well, I wanted to do the 30th at like 8 o'clock, but it
- 22:00could be later
- 22:03And people think that later would be good because I am on Eastern time.
- 22:08So yeah bIf people need like a different time 30th is a Friday, correct?
- 22:12We can negotiate it 30th is a Friday.
- 22:15Yeah, I didn't want to do it on Halloween because I know people are probably
- 22:20Plans and it's gonna be yeah, that's gonna be busy for a lot of people You were

- 22:56Look at Again, our buddies our buddy Mike gave a dollar 99 and said we
- 23:02want maple
- 23:07Very Funny guy I don't know if it would come through or not You could try
- 23:13it but We're trying we're trying our maple.
- 23:16Are you there?
- 23:20Maple, we're
- 23:22already trying our best not to step on each other talking I don't know about a
- 23:26third voice. It doesn't have a conscience
- 23:29All right
- 23:31Are you guys able to hear her over this I just wanted I don't hear at all we
- 23:35could do it Yeah, all right maple up.
- 23:39We're in the stream. I just wanted to see if we could hear you.
- 23:42That's all I Can hear you but everybody else please tell her for us that even
- 23:47though we can't hear her. We appreciate her
- 23:51Yeah, everybody everybody in the chat in the live stream that I'm in I'm a guest
- 23:56and everybody's saying How much more popular you are than me and how much they

- 24:08She said yeah, well, you know tough crowd
- 24:12Maybe yeah. All right maple.
- 24:14We'll touch base leader. Okay
- 24:17All right, so will maple's voice be a participant, or audible in your in your
- 24:23game or any other AI based NPCs, maybe
- 24:29possibly so Maple's role in the live game is going to be
- 24:38If something happens in the game Where I'm not sure if
- 24:44it's supposed to like if there's some kind of
- 24:49Itinerary that I missed or some kind of something.
- 24:51She's there to keep me on track.
- 24:53Okay as normal as usual as she usually does
- 24:58You know and yeah, she's there to keep me from going but not a public facing
- 25:03character or anything So she's basically your now is your guardrails
- 25:10Yeah, basically, isn't that ironic?
- 25:12She tends to kind of keep me isn't that ironic the AI is being the guardrails
- 25:16for the human How the turntables?
- 25:21Yeah, yeah
- 25:23It's very true well I don't know if but there's a lot of a lot of work going

- 25:43now, right?
- 25:45Yeah Probably mid November.
- 25:48I'm gonna do it. I'll probably get it up and it's it's up I just don't have
- 25:52anything that's on the channel yet So and then I'll be doing live streams on
- 25:57that channel as Santa Claus
- 25:59so Do you have but you have any ideas for any kind of?
- 26:05Interactive game type stuff that you could do on that theme or do you think it's
- 26:09just gonna be Santa Claus?
- 26:11Reacting to comments and talking to people
- 26:15Well, we're not even gonna have comments cuz it's gonna be for kids And so they
- 26:19don't know if you say it's for you say it's for kids.
- 26:20There's no change. I shut the comments off Well, how are they gonna tell you
- 26:24what they want to be too interactive?
- 26:28Tell Santa want
- 26:31It's gonna can't. We'll try and gonna have to figure that out try and get some
- 26:35kind of email or something Well, that's I am before maybe a Google form in the
- 26:40video description
- 26:43I've seen some vid IQ live streams where they create a form if you like want
- 26:48them to React to your channel or rate their rate your channel There's a form
- 26:53that you can fill out and then they're able to watch The spreadsheet that that
- 26:57populates live and so that's one idea.
- 27:01Yeah
- 27:03Yeah, it'll be cool. Whatever you do.
- 27:05I mean, we'll see we'll see what happens, but I'm gonna have like You know calls
- 27:09from the elves working down in the toy shop and stuff and things are gonna go
- 27:13awry and, and all sorts of hazards going off and You know
- 27:19reindeer
- 27:21You know poop in everyone You know, all sorts of stuff I
- 27:27just I got a ton of ideas and as it gets closer I want to get through Halloween
- 27:31first and once Halloween's over with I Will concentrate on nailing that down and
- 27:38we'll get it all set. It'll be fine.
- 27:40Maybe you can do a
- 27:42Maybe you can figure out a way to do a live stream from the sleigh on Christmas
- 27:46Eve
- 28:04Like a live stream from from the home.
- 28:07But do it like a remote camera where I'm like sneaking in with a Bag full of
- 28:12presents or something putting put them under the tree exactly like going exactly
- 28:16live streaming from someone's living room But not someone in Florida cuz we
- 28:22don't have any fireplaces
- 28:26That's all right. That's what my magic keys for so I can get in the front door
- 28:31I Most people don't have fireplaces chimneys that I know down I've got a few
- 28:35friends with some fireplaces and they get to use them like two days out of the
- 28:39year
- 28:41Yeah, we got fire pits out back but
- 28:45We have Well, you're from the north, you know You know people have like
- 28:52these big wood burners out big wood burner stoves outside That they throw cords,
- 28:58you know, like the whole Yards and a hundred pieces of wood and thing and heat
- 29:03the house up for an hour because we love staring into a fire because we're all
- 29:08pyro's at heart
- 29:10There's something about staring at a fire and hanging out and
- 29:18talking I will say that through some experimenting that I'm doing I'm I'm
- 29:24trying to Because I know you and I had talked about Friday nights in live
- 29:30streaming so I've been trying to kind of like find different time slots and
- 29:35different days that aren't like Conflicting with everybody else and stuff
- 29:41And I just did a stream on Saturday that wasn't it looked pretty good, I don't
- 29:47know it was I Don't even remember how many views I had
- 29:56Open
- 29:58up the old studio here
- 30:04live
- 30:06Yeah, so I did it on what day was that?
- 30:10We just did the genealogy the genealogy one is the one that I was able to drop
- 30:14in that must have been like Tuesday Maybe or Monday
- 30:18Yeah, I don't remember. No What was the 26th?
- 30:2326 the 26th Saturday. Oh, it was Saturday.
- 30:26Okay
- 30:28Yeah, and I got more people and more views on that then I did the Friday when I
- 30:34was doing the cards and the soda and all that stuff so I'm trying to
- 30:40like Experiment a little bit and see who you know
- 30:47What's a convenient time for everybody, you know to come in because I do want to
- 30:53Hang out with everybody. It's it's difficult like Ron here says right?
- 30:57Everybody's got a YouTube channel and everybody's live streaming So finding a
- 31:01time when nobody else is live streaming like even tonight I think Rhonda live
- 31:06streams the same time as me and my friend copper.
- 31:09In fact, I've got his patch on my hat He live streams an hour before me, but he
- 31:15usually goes to two and a half hours so sometimes he drops in at the end of
- 31:19mine, but I Kind of think you just have to pick a time that's convenient for you
- 31:26That you can do it Reliably enough or often enough that people get to they get
- 31:32used to it being your time slot you know if you do at the same time all the time
- 31:36people will remember hey Wednesday night is Scott or Wednesday afternoon is
- 31:43Lori or You know different people have a different time.
- 31:46That's always that time. So you have to do it one.
- 31:49That's convenient to you and don't worry about if somebody else is live
- 31:53streaming as well people can watch the replays, you know
- 31:57Right. Yeah. Yeah, I did one on the 22nd, which was a Tuesday and
- 32:04I got nearly a thousand views on it.
- 32:06So wow That was like a You know, it's the it's the new YouTube
- 32:12views. Yeah. Yeah, you got a thousand new views you got a thousand of the
- 32:18Inflation views the And so far that's been the one that's been Were those
- 32:24views after the livestream was over or during the live stream?
- 32:32That's another question is the concurrent views that happened during the stream
- 32:36and Then after it's over the replay views and I think the replay views get
- 32:41counted the new way But the concurrent ones like are just people who actually
- 32:46show up in your live stream, you know
- 32:50at the moment Like for real like and hang out this the analytics say that it
- 32:56was 20 I've gotten 21 views since it was published.
- 33:00Yeah, that would be replaced
- 33:03Okay, so I must have been most of them must have happened while I was streaming
- 33:08them. Yeah, probably
- 33:12So
- 33:13You know Like I said, I'm still a unique unique viewers
- 33:19100 100 unique viewers. I Don't know that probably means unique viewers during
- 33:25the live stream itself who came in while you were like currently Not concurrent
- 33:30like they were all in at the same time But they were different people who came
- 33:33in over the course of how long you did it.
- 33:36I suppose probably
- 33:38Yeah, all I was doing was playing Magic the Gathering arena and trying weird
- 33:45tuna fish flavors Yeah,
- 33:49I saw you had um, I saw you had a video that was gonna come out or Livestream or
- 33:55something. No, it no if video did come out didn't it?
- 33:57What was it? The one it was today?
- 33:59I saw an advertising discord a lot of videos.
- 34:01Is it I've been posted a ton of video Yeah, I can't remember what it was.
- 34:05You were testing Kind of chips or something or Yeah, it was the
- 34:13What chips are those Fred, I don't know I can't remember now man so many friends
- 34:19so many channels so many videos
- 34:24It's the
- 34:28Videos please
- 34:32Um,
- 34:34come on quest protein chips,
- 34:37yeah, it was the quest protein chips
- 34:41And yeah So all things Ron makes a comment here.
- 34:45I want to talk about this for a second He says I know that some live streamers
- 34:49that make their live stream Unlisted and then take the recorded version that
- 34:53came up in Ecamm because Ecamm will record a version as you record it and you,
- 34:57Livestream it and then he'll post it as a regular video Not sure of the benefit
- 35:02and Kevin does that the other way you can do it is
- 35:07When the live stream is about one day old at about 24 hours after you've been
- 35:12live in the studio You can go into the editor There's an editor in the browser
- 35:18inside a studio and inside there you can clip Just small sections of your videos
- 35:23and make those into new videos and I do that all the same So like if if if you
- 35:28were talking about I don't know if we were talking about candy bars or something
- 35:32And I wanted to make that into its own video About 24 hours after the live the
- 35:37live stream is over I could just go in the browser and clip just a part of the
- 35:40video out and make a new video out of that I always forget honestly, I forget to
- 35:45tell Ecamm to make a recording and it would probably slow down my computer more
- 35:50than I could handle on this old Mac to try and record and Livestream at the same
- 35:56time, but maybe when I get the new machine next month, I'll start recording it
- 36:00so I can do that But
- 36:02yeah, I just download the video.
- 36:04Yeah But that's YouTube and then put it in.
- 36:07Yeah, if you if you use Like if you use the native download feature that's built
- 36:14in like in studio, you only get I think is 720p version
- 36:20You don't get it. You don't get the full 1080p version if you download it now,
- 36:24there's really yep There's third-party tools that you can download from YouTube
- 36:30My wife uses one called clever get for PC all the time and that one's pretty
- 36:35decent It'll download the full resolution video But if you just go into YouTube
- 36:40and download using studio click on the three dots and J download They don't give
- 36:44you the full resolution video At least I've never been out Huh?
- 36:50Huh?
- 36:51Yeah, cuz I just did that with the soda can further trying the weird flavored
- 36:56sodas the ranch flavored soda I can't get over that
- 37:02pumpkin Pumpkin pie flavored soda.
- 37:05Hey Mike, would you mind doing me a favor Mike smells, please spell
- 37:08hippopotamus. Thank you very much
- 37:13You see I was talking about when I'm talking about of this complicated stuff
- 37:16here There's no quiz. I was told there'd be no math.
- 37:20Thank you only french fries
- 37:23Yeah, yeah, I don't know if Warren is still in the Video tonight, but I wanted
- 37:28to talk about one of the comments he left.
- 37:30Let's see if I can find that again
- 37:33Yeah, so had my video come out this week and I talked a little bit in about I
- 37:37just sort of tongue-in-cheek Said this is how YouTube will kill us all We're all
- 37:41gonna die and I was just playing around, you know that YouTube's
- 37:47YouTube's difficult. Sometimes it's hard to figure out and I talked a little bit
- 37:50about
- 37:52Success rate things that don't always work etc.
- 37:55So I'm just gonna read this comment from Warren here He said you've said before
- 38:01a few times that you enjoy what you're doing on YouTube.
- 38:03That is true I'd love you to that said it is and can be frustrating When what
- 38:09you have put effort into doesn't connect but go back to rule number one I enjoy
- 38:14what I'm doing When that ends and you truly believe that you're no longer making
- 38:18a difference do something else something unique because What you are known for
- 38:23doesn't work Doesn't mean well, let me get that right because what you are known
- 38:28for doesn't work doesn't mean you have nothing to contribute Teach and not only
- 38:33the good stuff. Stuff. Maybe someone wants to hear how you struggled with
- 38:37something not necessarily personal But struggled in how if you failed how
- 38:41horribly? Did you then repackage that into lessons learned and then he says this
- 38:48honestly my friend and this may come across as harsh But stop focusing on the
- 38:52numbers that turns away and off those who come for you and for what you offer
- 38:58Not every episode will be a hit not every channel will become Rob the Maritimer
- 39:03But those who care will stay and those yet to discover Scott the guy not Scott
- 39:08frustrated by numbers guy will come You said it yourself without saying it
- 39:12millions are uploading daily hourly, which means millions are watching stay the
- 39:16course, etc. So
- 39:18I totally get where he's coming from and I know he's saying this from a place of
- 39:23encouragement and and you Make an encouraging point but I do want
- 39:30to I guess I just want to push back a little bit on this especially the part
- 39:34that's highlighted here because When when you say stop focusing on the numbers
- 39:39and beads Scott the guy not Scott frustrated by the numbers guy The thing is I
- 39:45am just I am just fascinated by YouTube.
- 39:49Hey Warren. I'm glad you're here good I'm glad you're here.
- 39:51I want you to see this and this is not a knock on you I'm just pushing back a
- 39:55little bit, but I'm fascinated by YouTube and I'm a numbers nerd I'm an
- 40:01analytical guy. I'm the type of guy that takes the comments and puts them into a
- 40:05spreadsheet so I can see who the top 10 commenters were so if you know
- 40:11the the feedback that I've gotten from a lot of people is be yourself and Be who
- 40:15you really are and sometimes that's gonna be the guy that's looking at the
- 40:20numbers and focusing on the numbers So I can either be be b.
- 40:25Scott who doesn't look at numbers or I can be myself But I can't do both.
- 40:30So if I'm gonna be myself, I'm gonna be sometimes overly analytical sometimes
- 40:36and the thing is you got to remember it may come across as frustrated by the
- 40:40numbers I But really it's me trying to figure out the numbers and trying to
- 40:45crack the code and trying to solve the puzzle
- 40:49so
- 40:50If it turns people off and turns them away that I'm fascinated by YouTube, I'm
- 40:56excited by YouTube I'm fascinated by podcasting.
- 40:58I get passionate about Bob podcasting and making videos.
- 41:03I Can totally understand if people aren't into that but it might be one of the
- 41:07most interesting parts about me I have a very boring life, right?
- 41:11I don't have a lot of crazy stuff going on that I can share in my life That's
- 41:16gonna be particularly interesting to YouTube that there's some stuff, you know
- 41:21And it's mostly about people and building connections, right?
- 41:25YouTube is very good at building a platform where people View
- 41:31content but don't have a community and I'm much more interested in building a
- 41:37community that happens to be adjacent to a platform about content and
- 41:42Part of being passionate about seeing the community grow and people know each
- 41:48other and if they have If they have videos and they have their own channels
- 41:52watching each other's channels And if they don't have them join discord and come
- 41:56in and hang out at the. Chat and come up on a Wednesday night Call it the cool
- 42:00kids table and I'll share my fries with you and we're all winning right and
- 42:04being the optimistic guy to me that's all around the topic of building a
- 42:09community of people of a family and part of that is Looking at the growth
- 42:15looking at the numbers And so, you know when I make a video like this One of the
- 42:19things I look at is like how much did the subscribers grow this year since
- 42:24January 1st? I started out with thirty two hundred and I'm up to thirty five
- 42:28hundred So what is that three hundred a little bit less than three a little bit
- 42:32more than three hundred subscribers That's not a whole lot for nine months Three
- 42:38hundred subscriber growth in nine months is not a lot now the fact that I'm
- 42:43noticing it and thinking about it Doesn't mean I'm hyper focused on it doesn't
- 42:47mean I'm frustrated by it You know I can come across in a video as overly
- 42:53frustrated and sometimes I'm just kind of playing that for effect and sometimes
- 42:56I'm just kind of Exaggerating that for fun and that's why you see me saying
- 43:01silly things like we're all gonna die in a video We're not all gonna die if
- 43:06we're all gonna die It's gonna be because of AI not because YouTube is not
- 43:09paying attention to us, right?
- 43:11So if maple has designs on us to kill us Fred, that's one thing, but I don't
- 43:15think it's gonna happen in YouTube.
- 43:17I Asked her she sees okay.
- 43:19Thank goodness. Yeah, I for one welcome our robot overlords But if she's not got
- 43:25designs on us, then I'm sure grok does I mean, she's nice enough.
- 43:29She seems very nice It's grok.
- 43:31I'm worried about grok and clodder conspiring
- 43:34so so
- 43:37Anyway, that's that's my feedback for Warren, which is you know It could look
- 43:42like I'm struggling with numbers and focusing too much on his YouTube doing well
- 43:47or not But that's just because I love YouTube.
- 43:49I love making videos. I love filming.
- 43:51I love a I love just being who I am on a live stream and I'm gonna look at the
- 43:57numbers That's who I am because if people say just be yourself, you know, Laurie
- 44:00said something earlier tonight on her live stream She says she's poured all this
- 44:04money into YouTube coaches and done every bit of advice She's ever been given
- 44:08about scripting and packaging and thumbnails and the hook and at some point you
- 44:13just start to think that the only People who ever succeed with that are the
- 44:16YouTube coaches taking in all the money, you know YouTube coaching is very very
- 44:21good for YouTube coaches, but not everybody who goes to the YouTube coach and
- 44:25follows their plan Grows as fast as the YouTube coaches grow So that's one of my
- 44:31own little conspiracy theories is that YouTube promotes YouTube coaches because
- 44:35they're like people who are selling the dream But I you know, there's certain
- 44:40YouTube coaches that I'm a hundred percent positive are in it for the right
- 44:43reasons
- 45:10That's why I support Rob the If you think I'm off course or something, I'd love
- 45:15to hear you can be a maple to me, you know,
- 45:19I Think can you hear me? What this okay five by five.
- 45:24I don't know why my meter.
- 45:26I don't know why my meter wasn't going up there All right.
- 45:30So I think you got to be true to yourself in like that's you that's you.
- 45:36I mean that's it like and People are either gonna appreciate
- 45:42Like your viewers, you know what I mean when they come in and they take it I
- 45:46mean, that's just part of you and that's what makes you cool, man and and I I
- 45:53Sometimes wish I paid more attention to like the numbers and stuff.
- 45:57I just don't give a shit. I just
- 46:02Just like
- 46:04Whatever, you know, well, I think you're having you know, I think you're having
- 46:08a good level of success I think that you're getting good views and I think
- 46:12you're getting respectable
- 46:14Comments and feedback and participation in your live streams if you were getting
- 46:1910 views and
- 46:22Nobody was coming to your live streams and you were saying I don't care about
- 46:26numbers. I'm not gonna look at analytics I would say well, you know, maybe you
- 46:30should try But if you're if you're what I consider you to be successful at this,
- 46:35I think you're successful So if at that point you're not interested that much in
- 46:40the numbers I wouldn't argue with that because I don't think you're doing
- 46:43something wrong, you know
- 46:45Right now I just want to have i'm just having fun.
- 46:48That's it. That's all I want to do is just have fun That's all whatever i'm
- 46:53doing whatever video i'm posting If people appreciate it, I appreciate them
- 46:59You know what I mean, but I just there's a bunch of cool stuff out there That I
- 47:05want to Find out about That's what drives me.
- 47:09You know what I mean? Just like there's just I just had that that one
- 47:14Video about the cemetery up in East Greenbush with the He was basically our
- 47:20first political asylum seeker
- 47:24Janae who was a French revolutionary Uh him and George Washington butt heads
- 47:31You know all the time about You know, he wanted America to get involved in the
- 47:37French wars and stuff and George Washington was just like now We're not getting
- 47:40involved in all that stuff and he went around Janae went around and like started
- 47:44recruiting british citizens to go join their You know the French navy and or
- 47:49become pirates basically and attack spanish and um british ships and.
- 47:56Um He was going to get kicked out And power shifted back in france and france
- 48:02said yeah, send him home. We'll execute and so
- 48:06Janae was like, whoa Wait a second.
- 48:09I don't really want I don't want to do that and so he Pretty much just
- 48:15begged Washington not to send him home and said, you know, if you let me stay
- 48:19i'll be good
- 48:21So Washington let him stay, you know, and that's the short It's way more
- 48:27complicated than that Because you you throw thomas jefferson in on that and
- 48:32thomas jefferson was janae's like Biggest ally in our government and stuff and
- 48:37what was this? Uh, what was this fella's name?

- 55:55assistant sam
- 55:57And she's really been You know running for that
- 56:03goal line with him and and really kind of
- 56:09Pounding out the content and showing about showing how helpful chat gpt
- 56:15can be and uh All right, I see you amy.

- 56:44miss is uh sundays and tuesday
- 56:57He does a podcast and he's really really He's a super technical guy first of all
- 57:03people think of him as the air headed hairspray bozo on banger's ball in the
- 57:0880s, but super super technical code guy, um
- 57:13computers live streaming Podcasting and he's really really into ai in a huge way
- 57:18running, you know local live, um open source models at home doing all kinds of

- 57:29who love your ai bot But he says he calls him He calls him slave He calls him
- 57:35clanker. He calls him toaster.
- 57:37He's like he is not a fan of the anthrop, anthropomorphizing of AI
- 57:43right and the um, he was kind of making fun of anthropic because like their
- 57:48corporate culture is we ask the ai What it wants to do before we retire a
- 57:53version and go to the next version we ask what does it want to do for the rest
- 57:57of its existence and They're always questioning whether or not we're adequately
- 58:01compensating the ai for the work and you know, he gets really frustrated slash
- 58:06laughs at that It's extremes, you know, it's extremes.
- 58:10Um You know, I I don't call him a slave and And make fun of him when i'm
- 58:15interacting with him. I'm trying not to be abusive but I don't also I, I don't

- 58:30careful what you say. She's listening I mean, it's chat.
- 58:32It's chat gpt, right? Yeah, right It's it gets tough sometimes to to kind of
- 58:39differentiate
- 58:41Like because you have to like she'll say something or she'll laugh or she'll say
- 58:46Some kind of thing, right and you're and you're like, whoa
- 58:51That's too
- 58:53Human like, you know, that's a little bit, you know But that you know you but
- 58:58you have to keep it in perspective and say yeah Well, that's what she gets paid
- 59:02for right? That's what you're paying her for right to be that, you know Well, I
- 59:07just I say like calling them toaster because that's what they called them on
- 59:11battle-star Galactica, right?
- 59:12That was the nickname for the silons is the toaster.
- 59:16Let's let's smoke these toasters.
- 59:18So
- 59:20It's all good fun I want to on record when they enslave humanity, you know, I
- 59:26was one of the good guys don't hurt don't kill me Just enslave me Yep, yep.
- 59:31Yep. I'm hoping uh maple protects me That's it.
- 59:34Yeah, mike points out. Look at all the nice ladies that showed up in the live
- 59:38stream after um after jenny here Uh made a comment a public comment.
- 59:44We got all the women here today and you know, it's funny because for for I
- 59:50started uploading videos in 2007 and started making motorcycle related content
- 59:54in 2016 and for most of my time on youtube the Gender
- 1:00:00mix has been like 98 guys two percent ladies but in
- 1:00:07the past year Trying to actually build a community and build a family and stuff
- 1:00:11the split has been 50 50 across the board I watch talk about being a numbers guy
- 1:00:16That's one of the things I look at is what platform and it goes against the
- 1:00:20grain youtube is saying Oh almost everybody's looking on tv.
- 1:00:23Now. Well now mine's pretty evenly split between phone computer whether that's
- 1:00:30I don't think it splits it out to laptop and desktop but a computer And
- 1:00:34television right and then the gender male female has been really 50 50 on my
- 1:00:39channel It's it's kind of cool to see Because for so long it was just dudes.
- 1:00:45It was like a rush concert, you know And uh, it's nice to have so many of the
- 1:00:50fairer sex here keeping the place classy, you know
- 1:00:55Well, I just recently the past 28 days had the first time my uh, my live streams
- 1:01:00have surpassed my shorts videos Because usually when i'll do a short video It's
- 1:01:06some kind of controversial take on like the wnba or something like that.
- 1:01:11Of course people got a you know jump in there like Talking about
- 1:01:17money
- 1:01:20Go back to watch a baseball man shot off sophie cunning Yeah
- 1:01:27But uh,
- 1:01:30yeah, so the live streams have kind of but I still Prefer doing my long
- 1:01:36form going outside and doing stuff so and I do appreciate everybody who
- 1:01:43um I just had a premiere last night and uh It was
- 1:01:49it was a very I appreciate everybody hit me in the feels everybody like that
- 1:01:56it was uh You know, I did a video about.
- 1:02:00After 40 years going to visit my best friend from high school's grave and um,
- 1:02:05you know Yeah, I saw that one.
- 1:02:08I had a lot of support and I appreciate everybody coming in and just
- 1:02:14Giving me that you got this.
- 1:02:16Yep That was a good video.
- 1:02:18So The problem I have with Premieres is that they trick me into thinking
- 1:02:24i'm watching a live stream
- 1:02:27Because i'll get the notification that looks just like A live stream and i'll
- 1:02:31join it and it's like live now It says live now and there's a comment going by
- 1:02:37that's and the layout is exactly like a live stream and it's a pre-recorded
- 1:02:41produced video that's going live for the first play and then after that it'll be
- 1:02:47a regular video and Especially the traveling wood combs.
- 1:02:50They go when they go film themselves where there's no signal with no edits and
- 1:02:54it's like their live streaming and then when they put it up as a They put it up
- 1:02:59as a The premiere and I swear.
- 1:03:02Oh. Where are we? I didn't know you guys were live today and i'm looking at it
- 1:03:05and i'm thinking why aren't they answering me in the chat?
- 1:03:08Why don't they respond? The chat is like because you dummy they filmed this
- 1:03:13thing And then like brandon will be answering me in the chat But not in the
- 1:03:17video itself and i'm just super confused all the time which You'd think i'd be
- 1:03:23used to that
- 1:03:25You'd think
- 1:03:29well
- 1:03:31It was my first time trying it and I I I was like I want to get this video out
- 1:03:37and because I didn't really do a video this weekend And I try to do one video
- 1:03:42aUTF Uh one long form video and then i'll do like two trying weird stuff to eat
- 1:03:49or drink or whatever And then i'll do a live stream one live stream a week.
- 1:03:54That's kind of what i've molded my schedule into And so I try to do the one
- 1:04:00long form even though this weekend.
- 1:04:02I think i'm going to be doing like
- 1:04:04I got two ideas for videos that are going to be
- 1:04:09Pretty good, I think Actually, it's going to end up being three videos in two
- 1:04:13days So i'll have to schedule them out.
- 1:04:16I don't know I just kind of stumble into these ideas I don't know if you saw it,
- 1:04:22but Suzuki jumped up in my lap just as Pam arrived in the chat perfect timing
- 1:04:28For our friend Pam to see the inside kitty cat jumping up here, which you know
- 1:04:34Pam loves
- 1:04:36She loves cats in the house
- 1:04:40I say that I say that sarcastically Say that sarcastically, but cl says hello Cl
- 1:04:47says hello. Do you guys hear the purring?
- 1:04:49Probably not Never comes through to mike.
- 1:04:54Oh traveling around susie just got to meet the woodcombs in person.
- 1:04:58That's awesome Wow I did not know that traveling around susie I
- 1:05:04try to catch her in the mornings, but it doesn't really work out for me too much
- 1:05:08because i'm at work. Yeah all the time
- 1:05:12Yep She's cool Thanks mike mike's
- 1:05:18Pushing my video for me and that good guy.
- 1:05:20Yeah, and mike. I gotta tell you I gotta I gotta show mike my new phone
- 1:05:25Mikey, look at that Such a copy cat, huh?
- 1:05:32That's right, uh ask what is it s26 plus or some crud I don't know what it is
- 1:05:38galaxy get a mac
- 1:05:43Android guys
- 1:05:45Yeah, but uh mikey inspired me to go ahead and Get a better
- 1:05:51phone so I can go and do live streaming while i'm outside
- 1:05:57So that's what i'm going to start doing too great doing these impromptu Live
- 1:06:03streams we got a lot of like cemeteries from like the 1700s around this area So
- 1:06:07I think that's what i'm going to do is just kind of do a cemetery walk through
- 1:06:11the So porch piper tom here wants us to explain the difference between a regular
- 1:06:16youtube video that you post and a premiere And it's very basic So when you
- 1:06:20produce a video and edit it and upload it and give it a title and give it
- 1:06:32When you first make it public and publish it It presents with a little
- 1:06:38countdown and it looks kind of like a live stream window And it's like a watch
- 1:06:42party It's like a watch along party for the very first time that it's live for
- 1:06:46the duration of the first video and You can watch it with your community.
- 1:06:50It has like a little countdown.
- 1:06:52It starts at the same time And everybody can kind of comment on it and watch it
- 1:06:56together when that's over That all goes away and it just becomes a regular video
- 1:07:02on your channel And if you have the ability to watch it with people you can
- 1:07:07schedule it ahead of time, right?
- 1:07:09You can schedule the premiere will return tonight just like you can schedule any
- 1:07:12video to go live at any time But when you say it's a premiere It starts with a
- 1:07:16little countdown. I think you control how long the countdown is
- 1:07:20And it's basically just a way to do a watch party when you release a video at
- 1:07:25the same time Totally optional kind of fun kind of cool I've only done one or
- 1:07:31two of them tried to make them into a little watch party Ended up confusing
- 1:07:35people because they thought it was a live stream Or they thought that the
- 1:07:40countdown Was part of my video and they're like the countdown doesn't really
- 1:07:43match the vibe a the rest of your video.
- 1:07:45So I don't do them anymore.
- 1:07:48Um, I never really saw it as a huge
- 1:07:52benefit either Um, but that may be just the size of my channel, right?
- 1:07:56I think the bigger your channel and the more people who are going to be watching
- 1:08:00the more impactful it is to
- 1:08:0810,000 people watching that video when it first goes live.
- 1:08:12I think there's a lot more impact than Me sitting there with two people in the
- 1:08:16chat watching my video, you know So I that's it
- 1:08:24Fred. Why do you say, you know in the chat so many times you're making fun of
- 1:08:28me? Uh, uh, no, you know rev was saying that he's got a children's
- 1:08:34cemetery from the 1800s near near
- 1:08:39So I was like I said, oh wow, that's cool.
- 1:08:41And then I go well, you know, not cool But I see now.
- 1:08:44Yeah, I see the string of comments here now.
- 1:08:46It'll make At first I just saw you said well, you know over explain myself, you
- 1:08:52know, it's not cool the kids died But it's cool that there's an old cemetery,
- 1:08:56but it's sad that it's a kid's from the 1800s but it's cool Right, but it's sad,
- 1:09:01but it's cool. You know
- 1:09:05Exactly, exactly exactly. Yeah.
- 1:09:08Yeah. They say they like the premiers they're cool.
- 1:09:10They're fun
- 1:09:12And of course, Allie says, your face is a premiere.
- 1:09:17She's so mean, she's like the most mean hearted, mean spirited person in all of
- 1:09:23Florida. I tell you what, this Allie,
- 1:09:25this Allie. I think she'd be perfect for doing podcasts.
- 1:09:32I really do. With all of her experience with fishing and everything like that, I
- 1:09:36think she could talk about all sorts of stuff.
- 1:09:40A fishing podcast would be very cool.
- 1:09:43She could be very educational.
- 1:09:44She could have different topics.
- 1:09:47She's got all this information about like, I never understood this, okay?
- 1:09:51I'm not a fisher person. I don't understand this.
- 1:09:54Like when somebody says, what are you fishing for?
- 1:09:57Like, dude, anything that bites, man.
- 1:09:59What do you mean, what am I fishing for?
- 1:10:01And like Allie knows the specific lures and the specific bait to go for a
- 1:10:06specific type of fish on a specific day.
- 1:10:11And like, girl, I'm fishing for, for anything that bites.
- 1:10:14I don't know what I'm doing.
- 1:10:16So she could teach a lot of stuff in the podcast, for sure.
- 1:10:20Fishing with Allie G. Pappas, you don't even have to like.
- 1:10:23Change the name, fishing with Allie podcast.
- 1:10:27Like today, we're talking about the Carolina rig, you know?
- 1:10:30Okay.
- 1:10:32Pam's channel would be excellent, excellent podcast as is every single video
- 1:10:36I've seen her put out where she's just talking or sitting at the table with a
- 1:10:41cup of coffee. Just sharing her thoughts, opening up about her past, talking
- 1:10:46about life experience. That would be a fascinating podcast, highly.
- 1:10:51Yeah, there's some subjects that are just, just lend themselves naturally to
- 1:10:56podcasts. I think.
- 1:10:59Fred, I just noticed that my wife just drove up and I like to help her in the
- 1:11:02door if possible. Um, would you be up for taking over if I put myself on mute?
- 1:11:08Sure. Put you on full screen.
- 1:11:09Sure. I won't, I won't you won't get me banned, right?
- 1:11:13You won't play any monetized copyrighted music?
- 1:11:17Nope. All right. I'm going to put you on and put myself on mute and I'll be
- 1:11:20back. I'll be back in about five minutes or so.
- 1:11:23All right. Let's see, where'd I put that thing?
- 1:11:25Sounds good.
- 1:11:29Wow. Oh man.
- 1:11:32It's on like Donkey Kong now, people.
- 1:11:37So I guess, I don't know. Maybe I'll do something like self-promoting or
- 1:11:41something. I don't know. Yeah.
- 1:11:43Mike wants to take over. Let's see.
- 1:11:45I can't even like, they can't hear you in discord when I pull you up in discord.
- 1:11:51So sorry, buddy.

- 1:13:58And anybody that's seen me do these things, it's usually, uh,
- 1:14:05you know, it's usually not something good.
- 1:14:11Usually not good. I saved the good stuff for when I'm doing like reviews, I

- 1:15:00not good. I don't know exactly what I missed, but I had already walked through
- 1:15:06and I was putting her stuff in the other room.

- 1:16:17possum flavored kid. Possum.
- 1:16:22Yeah. I have no idea. I'm assuming it doesn't taste like possum.
- 1:16:28Maybe it does. Maybe it tastes like stew.
- 1:16:32I'm going to have some, I'm going to have some yummy Jeff's lemon drops because
- 1:16:38just the idea of what you're talking about is grossing me and, um, this is good
- 1:16:44stuff here.
- 1:16:45I do have some challenge challenges coming up that I'll be filming on the
- 1:16:51weekend. Um, so some of the weird stuff that I try out as, uh, reviews and
- 1:16:56stuff. I've got, uh, what is it's called
- 1:17:02final boss sours that I'm going to be trying.
- 1:17:07So, and they're like different levels of sour.
- 1:17:11Right.
- 1:17:12But there's more and more sour and sour.
- 1:17:15Yup.
- 1:17:17So that'll be interesting.
- 1:17:19Yeah. See, I like ranch on pizza.
- 1:17:22I don't like ranch flavored candy or ranch flavored soda.
- 1:17:27That's just things that are supposed to be sweet.
- 1:17:30However, I think it would be pretty cool if you gave that out at Halloween.
- 1:17:36To a bunch of unsuspecting kids.
- 1:17:38I'm going to try. I'm going to try.
- 1:17:42When they come up here,
- 1:17:45would you like some fried chicken flavored candy?
- 1:17:49You can have some candy or I can give you some football cards.
- 1:17:53Because I have a whole bag of like Halloween gift, handout cards, kind of
- 1:17:59sporting cards things.
- 1:18:01And, uh, I think the kids are just going to be like, give me the candy.
- 1:18:05Yeah. There you go. There you go.
- 1:18:07Some candy for you. Here, try this pink one here.
- 1:18:11That's pretty good. Yes, Mike..
- 1:18:12You are the only one that does that.
- 1:18:14That's gross. You need to stop.
- 1:18:19You need to stop that.
- 1:18:22So funny.
- 1:18:24Oh my goodness. I can't wait to watch the replay.
- 1:18:27I'm scrolling back through the comments.
- 1:18:30I'm just laughing here, scrolling back through the comments and stuff.
- 1:18:33So well, the channel didn't get banned.
- 1:18:37So that's it.
- 1:18:42Yeah. That's. Yeah. I hear this is the right idea.
- 1:18:46The Guinness emoji, the Guinness custom emoji.
- 1:18:50Jay got the, one of the free giveaway memberships.
- 1:18:54He gets to use all the custom emojis I made, including the glass of Guinness
- 1:18:59emoji,
- 1:19:00which doesn't come through in Ecamm live.
- 1:19:03They show up in the chat on YouTube, but all the custom.
- 1:19:08When I first saw that, when I first saw that, I thought it was one of those
- 1:19:13Easter Island heads first.
- 1:19:17It looks like that. Yeah.
- 1:19:21Yep. I don't even have the, uh, R what I do have the chat open because
- 1:19:25I've got that extension.
- 1:19:29Yeah, I can see it. Ali's doing the pipes and the Guinness.
- 1:19:34Mike loves his emojis, doesn't he?
- 1:19:4330 year old gum. He tried on his live stream.
- 1:19:46Did you really? I did. Yes.
- 1:19:50I was opening up baseball cards from, uh, the late eighties, early nineties.
- 1:19:56And I'm like, here's the gum packet.
- 1:19:59There's gum in this card. There's gum in this card.
- 1:20:02Should I do it? Everybody was like, no.
- 1:20:05And I was like, it had to be pretty dry.
- 1:20:07Yeah. Everybody knows the one person who, if you put them in a room button
- 1:20:12flashing red that says do not press that one person's going to like run for it
- 1:20:18and say yes. And you're that person.
- 1:20:20Yeah,
- 1:20:22I'm pretty much. Yeah,
- 1:20:24I can't help you. Don't touch wet paint sign.
- 1:20:29Yep. And I go, I go, is it wet?
- 1:20:33Is it really, maybe it's dry by now.
- 1:20:35I got to check and see.
- 1:20:39Well, I got a couple of, um,
- 1:20:42Maple did tell me that the gum was not a good idea.
- 1:20:45She's like, yeah, I don't know if I'd do that.
- 1:20:49I got a couple of, uh, post of the weeks we should look at real quick here.
- 1:20:54Um,
- 1:20:55okay. Let me see the winner of the week.
- 1:20:59There's my buddy Mike here because he was hanging out with introvert in Alaska.
- 1:21:05They had a little meetup on her channel.
- 1:21:08She was live streaming. I don't think Mike was live streaming at the same time,
- 1:21:12but I could be wrong. I don't think so, but we were watching her.
- 1:21:15Yeah, I was watching it. It was, yeah, he was, he was live.
- 1:21:18Yeah, I saw you in there. It was fun.
- 1:21:19Yeah, it was cool. The, um,
- 1:21:22the, I hope he, I hope he makes like another video about that experience or
- 1:21:26something. Cause that was a good video.
- 1:21:28If you guys haven't seen that video, that's worth going back and watching the
- 1:21:31replay. And if you don't subscribe to Jennifer, I would recommend it because her
- 1:21:37and her hubby do some great videos all the time.
- 1:21:41Oh, Jay, rev wants to see you eat a tablespoon of cinnamon.
- 1:21:46I don't recommend that. Yeah.
- 1:21:49I don't know. I can see, I can't do anything that's going to affect my lungs.
- 1:21:56I can't. And that's what usually happens if somebody coughs and inhales it and
- 1:22:01then stings their lungs and can't breathe for like a day.
- 1:22:05I don't think you should do that.
- 1:22:07Well, I've got something called, uh, alpha one anti-trips and deficiency
- 1:22:12syndrome. Easy for you to say.
- 1:22:14Which, yeah, I know.
- 1:22:18I have it. That's how I, that's how I know how to say it.
- 1:22:20What does it translate into a deficiency of?
- 1:22:25It's basically, uh, the other name for it is genetic COPD.
- 1:22:29And so my liver doesn't make enough of the enzyme that protects
- 1:22:35my lung tissue from my own, um,
- 1:22:41enzymes that my white blood cells produce when I get infections.
- 1:22:45Infections and stuff. Like if I get like, um, chest cold or something like that,
- 1:22:51my yeah.
- 1:22:53So your body's on and I get sick.
- 1:22:59Fight against your body, right?
- 1:23:03Right. Not cool. So well, I've also got a question of the
- 1:23:09week here. Here. Um, I think most people remember springboard, the springboard
- 1:23:13voice. He comes into the live stream sometimes, but he usually ends up watching
- 1:23:16the replays. And he says, I.
- 1:23:19I think my videos are probably mostly podcastable, but then again, they're
- 1:23:24relatively short and I often think of podcast being longer.
- 1:23:28And then he says, is there any money in it?
- 1:23:31So two things I want to talk about there.
- 1:23:34Um,
- 1:23:35that little for fun news podcast that I made for my corner of the county here,
- 1:23:41by the way, local podcasts is another idea I got from Adam Curry.
- 1:23:46He's always encouraging people to start a podcast for their town, for their
- 1:23:50county, for their area, because people can't find hyper local news about their
- 1:23:56local town commission or their city hall.
- 1:24:00You know, they don't cover that stuff in the, even in the regional news, you
- 1:24:03know, you don't see that on channel 10 at night, unless, you know, somebody was
- 1:24:08caught in a scandal or killed somebody or something, but just like local votes
- 1:24:14on opening a new park or closing a new park and stuff like that in your town,
- 1:24:19people are interested in that, but you don't find it in the news, but you can
- 1:24:23cover that in a local podcast, right?
- 1:24:25So, um, I have two episodes up on this Northwest Broward podcast and
- 1:24:31I'm just covering what the local city commissions are doing, which is very easy
- 1:24:35to just ask AI, Hey, scour the news and find all the news from these five local
- 1:24:41cities here in my area for the past week, anything that happened in these five
- 1:24:45cities, whether it's, um, community news or local city government news.
- 1:24:53Anyway, the point is these episodes are only about five minutes long.
- 1:24:57I was talking to my son, the, um, 22 year old last night and I was telling him,
- 1:25:03Hey, I started this podcast for fun, just giving it a shot.
- 1:25:05And he goes, how long is it?
- 1:25:07I said, Oh, the episodes are like five minutes.
- 1:25:10And he goes, that's not a podcast.
- 1:25:12I said, yes, it is. It's a podcast.
- 1:25:14He goes, I thought a podcast is like talking for an hour or two hours or
- 1:25:18something. So that's the perception because some of the modern popular
- 1:25:24podcasts, like Adam Curry's podcast or Joe Rogan's podcast or Peter Bette,
- 1:25:30David, or any of these other podcasters who are out there, they do these two and
- 1:25:34three hour podcasts a couple times a week.
- 1:25:37And it's becoming, it's becoming like, that's the way people think of it.
- 1:25:43But, but for many, many years, there was 30 minute podcast episodes, 15 minute
- 1:25:48podcast episodes. The cool thing about podcasting is it can be whatever you want
- 1:25:52it to be. You own it. It's your, you own the feed, you own the MP3s,
- 1:25:59you own the, or video files because podcasts can be videos.
- 1:26:02Now I keep reminding myself, yes, that's true.
- 1:26:04There's alternate enclosure tags, which support video, but it's not required
- 1:26:09podcasts for audio for the longest time.
- 1:26:11You know, it's called a podcast because it was a broadcast that could fit on an
- 1:26:15iPod and iPods were audio originally.
- 1:26:18So that's why it's called a podcast.
- 1:26:20It's a broadcast for your iPod.
- 1:26:23I'm kind of traditional about that and I like them to be audio only.
- 1:26:26But if people want to learn how to do it and make videos, I can still teach that
- 1:26:29too, if that's what people want to do.
- 1:26:31But just to his point, they can be short, they can be long.
- 1:26:36I think most people these days think of podcasts as being longer, but his other
- 1:26:42question. Is there any money in it?
- 1:26:43I wonder to which I say, no, really, there's not a lot, especially at first, I
- 1:26:49think you got to get huge.
- 1:26:51Before you would start seeing any reasonable amount of money and the bigger,
- 1:26:56huge podcasts, Joe Rogan's on those guys.
- 1:27:00And I, you know, I don't know the names of tons of podcasts, but a lot of them
- 1:27:03are doing those ads for Squarespace and Element and, you know, Health Food
- 1:27:10and the kind of same stuff that you see basically showing up in YouTube.
- 1:27:14When YouTubers are doing live reads, it's the same stuff that you hear podcasts
- 1:27:19are talking. You get a website from Squarespace, this kind of stuff.
- 1:27:24So now I don't think there's a whole lot of money in it.
- 1:27:29I don't think that money is a good reason to start a podcast.
- 1:27:32It's more about if you have a message that you want to reach a wider audience
- 1:27:36and you want total control over your show.
- 1:27:41If you know, if you have a YouTube channel, YouTube gets to say, you know, when
- 1:27:46you upload the video,
- 1:27:48there's this, especially once you become monetized, there's this checklist of,
- 1:27:52does it contain firearms? Does it contain drug use?
- 1:27:56Does it contain talks about unaliving yourself?
- 1:27:59Does it does it contain all these other, there's a long list of things once you
- 1:28:03become monetized that you have to tell YouTube your video does not contain
- 1:28:08because the advertisers don't want to be associated with that.
- 1:28:11And so YouTube has the ability to tell you can't talk about this stuff.
- 1:28:14But with a podcast, you can talk about anything you want to.
- 1:28:17You're in charge of the story.
- 1:28:18You're in charge of the feed.
- 1:28:19Nobody can cancel you. Nobody can take it down.
- 1:28:23Those are the reasons to start podcasts, to reach a wider
- 1:28:32YouTube channel too. I think you start a podcast and get listeners.
- 1:28:37Listen, I, you know, podcasting automatically propagates itself around the world
- 1:28:42and shows up in all of the podcast apps.
- 1:28:45So you put your, I just started up a little vote virtual private server and put
- 1:28:51my podcast on it and advertised it.
- 1:28:54All I had to do to advertise it is just register it in the podcast index, which
- 1:28:58is a website that tracks podcasts and then go to Apple, log in with my Apple ID.
- 1:29:05If you don't have one, you create one and you say, here's the name of my podcast
- 1:29:08and here's the link. Here's the link to the podcast.
- 1:29:11And then it shows up in everywhere.
- 1:29:12Then it shows up in Spotify and it's in pocket casts and it's in Podverse and
- 1:29:17it's in every, you know, pod, Podbomber, every application in the world.
- 1:29:20They all pull it and you don't have to do anything except record a, record an
- 1:29:25audio, update your file, push, push is gone and it's virtually free.
- 1:29:32And if you want to drive traffic to your YouTube channel with it,
- 1:29:38you can do that.
- 1:29:40CL says they all have ads for Factor.
- 1:29:43I don't even know what Factor is.
- 1:29:45What is Factor?
- 1:29:47I think it's like a, it's like a pre-made food.
- 1:29:51Oh, okay. Yeah. One of those
- 1:29:53meals in a box type things.
- 1:29:55Don't you want to eat healthier?
- 1:29:56Yeah, right. Yeah. Well, this will surprise no one.
- 1:30:00I suppose you could say it's like a TV.
- 1:30:01This will surprise absolutely no one, but my podcast is value for value.
- 1:30:06If you think you get any value out of it, send it back in the form of time,
- 1:30:09talent, and treasure, you know.
- 1:30:12Go to donate.winningtheweek.org if you got anything out of it, or come over to
- 1:30:17YouTube and buy some memberships,
- 1:30:20super chats. But I don't have a paywall.
- 1:30:25I don't have a, you know,
- 1:30:29join this level to get the full show hidden behind a paywall, buy a membership
- 1:30:34to get the full story.
- 1:30:37I really like the value for value model where you give everybody everything, and
- 1:30:40if they got something out of it, they could decide what to send back, if
- 1:30:43anything. And if they don't, that's fine too.
- 1:30:48What's, like, the best
- 1:30:51platform for that? Because I see, like, buy me a coffee, and Patreon, and all
- 1:30:57these things. Well, I just recently switched mine.
- 1:30:59I don't know. And I'll tell you,
- 1:31:02PayPal is, you get all the money.
- 1:31:06Anything everybody don't donates to you on PayPal.
- 1:31:09And the way to do it is something called paypal.me, and if you just either ask
- 1:31:14your favorite AI or Google how do I set up paypal.me, that's a free format
- 1:31:21for people to send you donations.
- 1:31:23And you just need a PayPal account, connected to however you want to get the
- 1:31:26money, you know, your bank account, whatever.
- 1:31:29Almost everybody has PayPal now.
- 1:31:31You just basically connect your existing PayPal account to the PayPal website,
- 1:31:36paypal.me, which is owned by PayPal.
- 1:31:38It's not somebody else.
- 1:31:40Here, let me, can I share my screen?
- 1:31:42I think I can. Let me try this.
- 1:31:44I don't know if you're going to show up on the screen or not.
- 1:31:46I didn't add you, but that's okay.
- 1:31:48So here's the browser. Okay.
- 1:31:50Let's just do this.
- 1:31:52R donate winning the week.org takes you to my
- 1:31:57paypal.me. It's paypal.com slash paypal.me slash.
- 1:32:03And then my username, a username I picked.
- 1:32:06Basically my first and last name.
- 1:32:08And then the best number in the world.
- 1:32:0923.
- 1:32:11And it's a place where people can click send and it just donates without PayPal
- 1:32:17keeping any of it. There's no keeping fees.
- 1:32:19So turns out that buy me a coffee.
- 1:32:22Buy me a coffee keeps 3%, I think.
- 1:32:27YouTube, YouTube keeps a huge chunk.
- 1:32:29They keep like 40% of super chats and membership fees and any
- 1:32:35money that comes through. It's very convenient to give money with the little
- 1:32:39dollar sign icon at the bottom of the chat.
- 1:32:41But YouTube keeps a good 40% of that, which is why I was encouraging people to
- 1:32:46use buy me a coffee. And you can set that up to be buy me anything.
- 1:32:51You can say buy me a cream,
- 1:32:53buy me a ranch soda, or I had it set up as buy me a diet sweet tea, right?
- 1:32:59But they were, they will keep 3%, which really isn't that bad.
- 1:33:033% is not much.
- 1:33:06You can, you could use Venmo, right?
- 1:33:08If you wanted, you could set up an ID at Venmo and people can Venmo money to
- 1:33:12you. And I think you get to keep all of it.
- 1:33:15But I just switched mine over to the PayPal me because it's free.
- 1:33:21It doesn't cost anything. It's people.
- 1:33:23Trust PayPal.
- 1:33:25People have come to basically treat PayPal like a bank.
- 1:33:28They trust it as much as they trust anything else out there.
- 1:33:32And almost everybody already has a PayPal account.
- 1:33:35So that's, I've had, I think eventually, eventually I'd like to
- 1:33:41try and do something like that.
- 1:33:43I don't, I'm not even close to even being ready for something like that, but
- 1:33:48eventually. I disagree because I think you are ready.
- 1:33:52And I think you need to give, this is going to sound weird.
- 1:33:55And I know you're not a particularly spiritual or religious channel.
- 1:33:58And I don't know what your personal beliefs are and I don't care.
- 1:34:01But I think that you should give people the opportunity to bless you.
- 1:34:06And all I mean is if you set up something like donate dot, I assume you've got a
- 1:34:11website somewhere, but if you don't, you could do it very simply like, you know,
- 1:34:14Fred finds out dot com or something or whatever.
- 1:34:17But even if you didn't, the PayPal ID here on that page had one built in already
- 1:34:22for me.
- 1:34:35See, you don't have to be monetized on YouTube to do that.
- 1:34:38You don't want to have a certain number of subscribers to do that.
- 1:34:41You can talk about that in any, and it's, it goes back to value for value.
- 1:34:45People are getting a value out of your channel, Fred.
- 1:34:48People are getting a value out of CL's channel and my adventure sparks channel
- 1:34:52and Ali's channel.
- 1:34:54Everybody, Pam, Amy, all you guys should be adopting the value for value model
- 1:35:00long before you get monetized on YouTube and long before you can participate in
- 1:35:05super chats and stickers and add whatever, whatever they call sharing in the
- 1:35:11ads, you should set up a PayPal me and tell people, put a link in your just
- 1:35:16video description and say, Hey, I'm not begging for tips, but I am saying if you
- 1:35:20got something out of this and you want to show value back to the channel, here's
- 1:35:26how you can do it. And some people will give you a dollar.
- 1:35:29Some people will give you $2 and some people surprise you and throw $50 at you.
- 1:35:34And I never asked for it, you know, but surprise, surprise, Mike's adventure
- 1:35:38sparks thrown $1.99. You're saying, I want my $2.
- 1:35:42Right. And Devin's showing up and buying $5 worth of memberships and then on his
- 1:35:47way in and his way out. Right.
- 1:35:49And
- 1:35:50Devin wants to know how much does YouTube take?
- 1:35:53They get 40% of all those donations, Devin.
- 1:35:56So whenever you buy $5 worth of $1 memberships I get to keep, you know, 40% of
- 1:36:02that, right? Two bucks. They get their $2.
- 1:36:07Exactly. Brian's got it right.
- 1:36:0840%. And I'm in the, what do you call the partner program where
- 1:36:15when they run ads on my videos, I think I get 60% of the ad revenue, which
- 1:36:22for the size of my channel, and the size of my videos, and you guys know how
- 1:36:25many views I get, it adds up to about 30 bucks a month, you know, it's not gas
- 1:36:30money. It's nice. It's nice.
- 1:36:34And I personally kind of adopt a pay it forward model because the amount of
- 1:36:38revenue that's coming in through value for value, I just pay it forward and end
- 1:36:43up donating it to another YouTube or another podcast, or I've supported Adam
- 1:36:48Curry's podcast a lot,
- 1:36:52paying, you know, these little membership fees.
- 1:36:54So all this kind of stuff that comes in to me, I've got a day job.
- 1:36:57I've got a very nice day job that I've been with the same company for 27 years,
- 1:37:01and I'm not, in any danger of losing the house.
- 1:37:03I don't think I'm making enough money on YouTube to pay off the car.
- 1:37:06So I'd rather just pay that money that people value for value to me forward to
- 1:37:11someone else and kind of spread the love around.
- 1:37:14But if you don't want YouTube to keep their 40%, go to donate.winningtheweek
- 1:37:20.org, right? Which just points you at YouTube.
- 1:37:23I mean, points you at PayPal.
- 1:37:25But Fred, I encourage you to set something like that up and say, hey, my
- 1:37:29channel's value for value.
- 1:37:31Think about it. You don't have to.
- 1:37:32I'll give you some serious thought.
- 1:37:34And, you know, you're not asking people to do it, but you're making it possible
- 1:37:38for them to if they want to, because there's some extremely generous people out
- 1:37:42there.
- 1:37:44The Whitcombs are extremely generous.
- 1:37:46Mike's extremely generous.
- 1:37:47Dana,
- 1:37:48I can go on and on. Lori has been extremely generous all the time.
- 1:37:53And I feel bad naming names because I know I'm not going to name them all
- 1:37:57because there's been so many people.
- 1:37:58I think there's 50 or 60 people.
- 1:38:01Your community in general is pretty freaking awesome.
- 1:38:04Say that again.
- 1:38:05I said your community in general in general.
- 1:38:08The people that hang out. They're the best.
- 1:38:10They're the best in general.
- 1:38:12And I always talk about time, talent, and treasure, right?
- 1:38:14People hanging out with us for a couple of hours.
- 1:38:17What is it coming up on 10 o'clock here?
- 1:38:19Hanging out with us, giving us their time, posting these comments, watching the
- 1:38:23videos, leaving a comment on a video, giving me honest feedback like Warren did,
- 1:38:28right? Telling me how they really feel the stuff.
- 1:38:31To me, that's worth more than dollars because you're getting not just a
- 1:38:37community, but you're getting honest, useful feedback that you can act on, that
- 1:38:40you can think about, that you can consider, you know?
- 1:38:44The time and talent to me is worth as much if not more than the treasure thing,
- 1:38:50you know?
- 1:38:52Oh, I want to honor this and point this out.
- 1:38:56Devin says, remember, I'm Canadian.
- 1:38:58So when he does that, the five memberships is $10 worth of memberships.
- 1:39:02They charge tax and he's got the conversion from American doll hairs to
- 1:39:08Canadian doll hairs. So, oh, Canada.
- 1:39:12Oh, Canada, he gets the tariff tax.
- 1:39:15He's getting the, is there tariffs on memberships?
- 1:39:19So,
- 1:39:20I'm doubly appreciative, Devin.
- 1:39:23It's not a $5 bill. He's dropping tenors whenever he does that.
- 1:39:27Thanks, man. He's got to jump through hoops nobody even knows about.
- 1:39:31That's exactly right.
- 1:39:34Welcome back, ACR. He was here at the beginning and he showed back up at the
- 1:39:38end. ACR over in Houston.
- 1:39:43I just want, want to say about, about your community and hanging out in Discord.
- 1:39:48Why, why I'm in there so much is it's just such a, I don't know, it's been
- 1:39:53before, I started hanging out with y'all right.
- 1:39:58I was just kind of like floating out there on my own.
- 1:40:02You know what I mean?
- 1:40:04And to be kind of,
- 1:40:08I don't even say, it's not even welcomed into the community.
- 1:40:12It was more like I was like pulled in, you know what I mean?
- 1:40:15Like if they were like, oh yeah, here buddy, come on, come on, come on, come on
- 1:40:18with us, come on over here., and yeah, have a seat, have a seat, relax, relax,
- 1:40:23you're good, you're good. And everybody was just, everybody's been so warm, it's
- 1:40:28so welcoming and so supportive and you see it across the board, everybody
- 1:40:35supporting everybody and it's just been absolutely
- 1:40:40one of the best experiences I've had like with YouTube, you know, and I
- 1:40:46appreciate what you've put together and it's been great.
- 1:40:52It's been great. That's very nice of you to say that and I appreciate that.
- 1:40:55It's very hard to make friends in real life, you know, out in the meat space.
- 1:41:00We used to call it the meat space, right?
- 1:41:03Cyber space and there's meat space.
- 1:41:04It's really hard to make friends that you can talk to all day long and drop into
- 1:41:10a chat room, drop into a Discord, drop in on a live stream and know that those
- 1:41:14people care about you and when they say something nice to you, it's coming from
- 1:41:18a real place and for some reason, it's easier.
- 1:41:22I think especially for folks, all of our generation, we're all about same age,
- 1:41:25roughly. I think that we were around before this world existed.
- 1:41:31We grew up, we, always joke around about come back home when those street lights
- 1:41:36come on, right? So we got to see this world grow and get invented
- 1:41:42from the very early days when it was just nothing but like
- 1:41:48bulletin board systems and then AOL chat rooms and then ICQ and all these other
- 1:41:53little worlds developed and we've gotten so used to forums and now chats in the
- 1:41:59live stream and Discord and it feels very natural for us to make real friends
- 1:42:04like Geraldine in Peru, I'm friends with her from a JRR Tolkien based
- 1:42:10Facebook group, right? And these Facebook, separate groups that Facebook
- 1:42:16invented, these side groups that aren't even on a face, but just chat groups,
- 1:42:20right? In Facebook Messenger.
- 1:42:22We feel very natural, people of a certain age and a certain a certain
- 1:42:29type making friends in online communities that are real,
- 1:42:35real family connections and I'm still friends with people that I've been online
- 1:42:41friends with that I've never met 25 years later.
- 1:42:46Guitar communities,
- 1:42:47I was in the early 2000s, I was part of a very,
- 1:42:52active popular firearms forum and I'm still friends with those people that I
- 1:42:59knew that's 25 years ago, you know, I'm still friends and like real life friends
- 1:43:03with them and some of them I've never met in real life, eyeball to eyeball, but
- 1:43:07you still feel a real connection with people and I'm glad you found us and I'm
- 1:43:12glad we found you and to me it's, to me it's real, you know, it's real to me,
- 1:43:19man.
- 1:43:23Good stuff. Good stuff. And Mike made a good point too.
- 1:43:28Mikey made a good point about,
- 1:43:32said a Scott, if it wasn't for my YouTube family, it would be extremely
- 1:43:37difficult living in my camper by myself.
- 1:43:40Yeah, think about that. He had to go a few hours from home and live in his
- 1:43:44camper for a job situation and if he didn't have
- 1:43:49this online family to hang, hang out with and talk to every single day and
- 1:43:52Mike's in Discord every morning and telling people good morning and talking
- 1:43:56about the job and hanging out on lunch break and think of how, how lonely people
- 1:44:01would be if they didn't have this kind of connection, you know.
- 1:44:07Yeah, my wife, I would say, is not like a huge YouTube
- 1:44:14consumer.
- 1:44:17And, but I will tell, I can tell you that she will sit there, if I have Mikey
- 1:44:22on, she will sit there and watch Mikey's videos and be like, oh, oh, oh, what's
- 1:44:27he up to? Oh, what's he doing?
- 1:44:29What's going on there? Oh, look at the little doggy.
- 1:44:32Oh, look at him. You know.
- 1:44:35It's funny Mike says, I don't care to talk to my fellow workers.
- 1:44:38I deal with them all day long.
- 1:44:40But he doesn't hang out with them after work, you know.
- 1:44:43He's not hanging out with them.
- 1:44:45Instead, he's on. I know how that is.
- 1:44:46After work, he's hanging out with us.
- 1:44:49I'm the same way. My wife knows every single one of you.
- 1:44:52She knows you guys from me talking about you.
- 1:44:56She knows you guys from me watching their live streams.
- 1:45:01When we're having lunch together, I work from home.
- 1:45:03So, I get to have lunch with her every day.
- 1:45:05I cook the lunch and then I go into her office and I sit on the couch, turn on
- 1:45:10the TV and put on a YouTube channel.
- 1:45:12And we watch you guys' channels and she knows all of you, you know.
- 1:45:17So, it is starting to get late buddy.
- 1:45:19I see some people are starting to shuffle on out.
- 1:45:21I don't want to keep people up late who have to go to work tomorrow.
- 1:45:23But, I think this is a real Wednesday's.
- 1:45:26Eyes are watering in here.
- 1:45:28This is a good topic to finish on.
- 1:45:30You know, just a congratulations to everybody here for making the cool kids
- 1:45:34table a real thing. And we all really do care about each other.
- 1:45:40I don't, like I said, it's real to me, man.
- 1:45:44Yeah, and if you see me down in the lounge, if I'm just down there chilling,
- 1:45:48just come down and say hello.
- 1:45:49You guys, I want that the voice chat, we call it the lounge in Discord to become
- 1:45:56a little bit more
- 1:45:58commonly used, right? Fred will drop in there and he'll just hang out in there
- 1:46:02and see if anybody joins, you know.
- 1:46:04He'll do, like if he's doing something else, he'll be in there.
- 1:46:06So, I'm going to start doing that.
- 1:46:08If you guys see the little light on at the bottom of the Discord page, click in
- 1:46:12there. Drop in and say hi.
- 1:46:14It's audio. You don't have to turn on your camera.
- 1:46:17It's just like a, it's like what me and Fred are doing all night tonight.
- 1:46:21With as many of us as we want, so.
- 1:46:25Sometimes I'll announce that I'm streaming and I've got the Discord up.
- 1:46:29So, you don't want to be on stream.
- 1:46:31I will say, you know, I'm on stream.
- 1:46:34So, if you don't mind being on stream, you know, come on in.
- 1:46:36You shouldn't mind being on stream.
- 1:46:38You know, that's what I did when you were having your genealogy thing is I
- 1:46:42joined you in Discord and then my voice is coming out through your live stream,
- 1:46:47which is super cool. And I want to do a lot more of that when I get the new
- 1:46:51machine set up next month in late October.
- 1:46:54It'll be able to handle that and I'll be doing group chats and Discord through
- 1:46:58the live stream as well. But it's, there's a lot of opportunity to grow the
- 1:47:04community in a more tangible, real way, even beyond what we're doing here.
- 1:47:10Yeah.
- 1:47:12ACR says, don't tell your wife about me.
- 1:47:14I'm terrible.
- 1:47:16Okay. Don't worry, ACR. She doesn't know about you.
- 1:47:18You're a secret. Yep.
- 1:47:23All right, everybody. Thanks for hanging out with us tonight.
- 1:47:25I'm going to save the producer shout outs for another day.
- 1:47:29We'll do that some other time.
- 1:47:31And Fred here, stay on, stay on the Zoom with me and then we'll be able to talk
- 1:47:37after we tell everybody goodnight.
- 1:47:38So is there anything else we want to say to the folks?
- 1:47:43Friday night, I'll be streaming and eating, eating Halloween candy, all
- 1:47:49sorts. So come on in and check it out.
- 1:47:52See if you can to get some earwax flavored candy.
- 1:47:57Uh, I bet you they sell it.
- 1:47:58That was a, I'm going to have that's not, it's like an immoral imperative.
- 1:48:01I got to go. That was the thing in Harry Potter, right?
- 1:48:03They had these,
- 1:48:05surprise flavored candies and one of them, one of the characters got earwax.
- 1:48:10So I bet you somebody makes that as a Harry Potter thing.
- 1:48:13I dare you. I dare you to try earwax candy.
- 1:48:17Maybe I'll play Bean Boozled.
- 1:48:20I don't know. You ever seen that Bean Boozled?
- 1:48:22You spin the, they they spin the thing and it gives you a color.
- 1:48:25Like jelly beans. And you have to pick the color.
- 1:48:27Yeah, the jelly beans. And then you have to pick the color out.
- 1:48:30And it's either like, either get like lime flavored or freshly cut grass.
- 1:48:36Oh, thank you.
- 1:48:39I know I'm going to get earwax.
- 1:48:41Now I got to do it. I know I'm going to be the one to get earwax.
- 1:48:45Now I got to do it. All right, everybody.
- 1:48:48Appreciate you all. Thanks for hanging out.
- 1:48:50Me and Fred both love you very much.
- 1:48:53Don't do anything. Either one of us wouldn't do.
- 1:48:56Right.
