  Speaker 3: in friendly shots Random Research Trambolin's with Robin.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: What's up, everybody, Welcome into some Random Research Ramblings with Rob.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Today we're gonna be talking a little bit about milestones,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: since we recently hit a few, and it never ceases
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to amaze me the actual size and breadth and reach
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that this show has had over the years. Now, as
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: many of you know, I started doing this podcast in
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, and yeah, stick with me here because we're
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: going to go back and listen to a little bit
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of the very first episode of the Lone gum And
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Podcast and just see how cringeworthy it was. It's been
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: years and years and years since I actually went back
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and listened, and I know, all I remember is it's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: about Bull Frasier. I think maybe it is, Maybe it isn't.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's all a blur, just a lot
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of years and a lot of topics and a lot
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of episodes. But recently we hit our four hundredth episode
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of the Lone gum And Podcast, which is a huge
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: milestone and We've also reached twenty five hundred subscribers on YouTube.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's been a very long, drawn out grind and it
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: was done organically. That means no cheating, no paid for
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: bought bot subscribers, no paid for bought bought interactions and likes,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: organically slow burn, long grind, ethically, morally truthful, hard earned,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: well deserved subscribers to the channel. There's many channels out
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: there that will pay for subscribers and likes from these
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Chinese bot farms that you see with like, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: a thousand cell phones all set up, and you know
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: this poor bastard in a chair, he's yeah, none of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that here. No, it is what it is. I'm truthful
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and transparent, and today I'm going to show you just
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: how truthful and transparent we are here at the Lone
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Gum And podcast. And I'm not doing this to toot
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: my own horn by any means. I'm just a regular skafuzza,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: just like you, a boy with a dream at one time,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and the genesis of the podcast was born out of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the need to just be able to discuss the topic,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: even if you're not right here with me physically. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: felt like this was a medium to where I could
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: get things off my chest. Think out loud if you
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: will tell you what makes or doesn't make sense to me,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you know, when we're talking about this whole assassination thing.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Because nobody in my immediate proximity at that time in
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: my life and well still now frankly, has any interest
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in the subject whatsoever. So for me, this was an outlet, okay,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and it served a very good purpose because without being
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: able to empty my brain of everything swirling around in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: there for all of those years, taking in all of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: this content, books, magazines, documentary movies, radio shows, conference material, websites, forums,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you name it, I needed an outlet and this was it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The Lone Gunman Podcast was born. For those of you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: who don't know the genesis of the show, the name
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: was meant to be ironic people, Okay, as are many
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of the titles of the episodes. Sometimes they may not
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: make sense, sometimes they may not be relevant to the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: topic at all. But to me, it's funny and that's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: all that matters. And if you get the joke, you
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: get the joke. But the Lone Gunman Podcast, right, because
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I was a conspiracy theorist, okay, and I was doing
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it by myself at the time. I thought it a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: fitting name for the show. And like I said, you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: if I would have come up with a really great
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: catching name a long time ago, like Solving JFK or
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, this podcast maybe would have
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: been a lot huger than it was. Some people to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: see the name and think it's a lone nut show. Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. Just listen sometime
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you might be surprised. So yeah, four hundredth episode, twenty
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: five hundred subscribers, huge, huge, We hit a big milestone,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: probably earlier this year, but we'll get there, I promise.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And to get this, hold on, I gotta watch this again.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Hold on, hey, Rob and Joe. Congressman Lunda here. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: just want to personally reach out, as the chairwoman of
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: the Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets and who
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: has been launching and conducting the investigations into the declassified
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: files on President John F. Kennedy's assassination, I wanted to
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: personally congratulate you guys on the release of your four
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: hundredth episode. It is incredibly important work that you guys
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: are doing, especially in discussing this on the Lone Gunman Podcast.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: So you have my complete respect and admiration for everything
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: that you're doing. Thank you so much, and I look
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: forward to seeing you chuys soon.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's what I'm talking about. Props props, and I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: don't do this for props, but to understand that your
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: hard work over the years has been acknowledged by those
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: who can make a difference in this community is very
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: rewarding personally. And I don't look for accolades or adoration
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: for my peers. I care very little about what they
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: may think of me or the show. I believe the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: show stands on its own merits, research wise, entertainment value
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: subject matter. You know, you may not like me or
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: my delivery, but again, I'm not some seventy year old, stuffy, uptight,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: politically correct, sport coat wearing lawyer slash professor. Okay, that
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: spent the first thirty five.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Years my life in university getting educated properly, learning how
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: to speak and convey and communicate properly.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: If you understand what I'm saying here, you know, just
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: because you have those letters behind your name, and just
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: because at some point you were able to cross over
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: at times into the mainstream does not make your work
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: any more important than anybody else's ego in this JFK
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: research community is a problem for many of the folks
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: who will look down their nose at you and think
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that because because you're not like them, then your views
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: aren't important, your views shouldn't be heard. Well, I got
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: some news for you, folks. The message is being heard.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Just know that it is. While what we do here
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: on YouTube is but a small but important part of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the lone gum And podcast, it is not the only
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: part of the lone gum And podcast. Now, I'm want
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: to show you something here just so you know that
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not full of shit. Okay when I say this,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: So let me share my screen here with you guys
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and show you exactly what I'm talking about here. Okay,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: why is this so big? There we go? Now, this
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: is from spreaker dot com that is the host site
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: for all of my podcast productions, Loose Moose Productions. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: as you can see, numbers don't lie. These are analytic numbers, folks.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And as you can see right up here at the top,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: total downloads one million, three hundred and seventy five thousand
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and eighty six up to this very day, hour and second,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: one thousand and forty four likes, two hundred and eight
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: followers just on spreaker. All right, now, how this works
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: is I upload an audio file for the audio version only,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: not video, just audio, just for your ear holes where
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you can listen, you know, to any you know with
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: any podcast player that you like, whether it be Apple Podcasts, Spotify,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Speaker has their own thing. Uh, what's the one that
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I use? Let me look here real quick. Podcast addict
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: is what I use to download and listen to podcasts.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: But any podcatcher, any any big thing like you know,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, things like that. One and seventy five
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: thousand and downloads total. All right, And as you can
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: see here, this is just for the past thirty days,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: fifteen thousand, three hundred and forty eight for the last month,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: not too shabby. Down here you can see how many
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: listens per day. This is per day. It's pretty staggering
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: to realize that four hundred and seventy eight people downloaded
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: and listened in one day. Six hundred and twenty two
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: listened on this day, seven hundred on this day, four
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven On June second, five hundred and
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: eighty one on June third, four twenty three, And you
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: can see the graph, the big spike here eight hundred
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and sixteen goes down four hundred and eighteen the next day,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: back up to seven sixty five, the next day, back down.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: It's like a roller coaster, right. All the big spikes
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: are new episodes, so of course that's going to be
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the biggest listens. And then as the week progresses, you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the numbers fall off a little bit, but then they
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: go back up. Then they fall off a little bit,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: then they go back up, and then they fall off,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: go back up. And you understand now, to be perfectly
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: honest with you, Loose Moose Productions is not just for
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: the Lone Gum And podcast. It's all encompassing, all right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: What I mean by that is it not only UH
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: publishes the Lone Gum And podcast, it also puts out
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: a channel called jfk Assassination from the Vault, which is
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: my second most popular listen to thing. And what I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: put up there are audio from documentaries, audio of me
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: or Joe on other people's shows, UH just anything interesting,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: interviews with people, radio show excerpts, audio files from Nara
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: things like that, but it's all crazy cool stuff quick
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: hits that I do with Doug. I have my own channel,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: he has his own channel. We both put it out
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: on our own channels, but mine garnered nine hundred and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: forty seven listens in the past month. I also do
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a podcast called The Heist, which I started back in
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen and I just restarted doing it a couple
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: months ago. So if you're into that kind of thing,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: it goes through stories of the most daring and unbelievable
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: heists in history, and so far the past month, two
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: hundred and ninety four downloads. The other podcast that I
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: do is called Stranger Thing, which I just started doing
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: again a couple months ago. This was born out of
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: an idea that I had many years ago called the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Strange Mysteries podcast, and something that I never got around
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to doing, and something that I am doing now that
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I have the time to do it, and the means
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and the opportunity and the motive and all of that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: But it is a very slow take off for that
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: one because it is all brand spank and new. I
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: did put out an episode of The Heights back in
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, just one episode, and I stopped and I've
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: so it had a little bit of a foothold. That's
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: why there's more listens. It's been out there for a
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: long time, but Stranger Things is something totally new. And
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you may have seen me sporting a Stranger Things hat.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: This is why. And this podcast does all kinds, you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: tells the stories of all of weird, strange and true
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: stories from time travel to the Forest fin treasure Hunt,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the lyle Stemic mystery, mysteries of Antarctica, Joan of Arc,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: just all kinds of crazy, cool stories from deep history
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: up until the current day. I think my first episode
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: was on the Jesus Bloodline, this kind of Da Vinci
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Code esque type of thing. There was a documentary that
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: was put out there was determined to be a hoax
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: and it was very, very wild stuff. But again that's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: at eighteen downloads in the past month, which again not
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: setting the world on fire. But you know what, you
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: got to start out somewhere. And you know, I'm doing
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: this organically. I'm not paying for promotions. I'm not running
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: ad campaigns for any of this stuff. As you can
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: see here on the left, I could do that if
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I wanted to, Right, I could run an ad campaign
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: or do a promotion for a podcast or an episode,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to pay for that. No, I'm
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: going to build this all organically, just like I did
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: with the Lone Gunman podcast. Now, if I go down
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: here and I click just on the Lone Gunman podcast,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: it will show you right here at the top, just
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: for the Lone Gunman. Ever since its inception, nine hundred
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and seventy five hundred and nine hundred and seventy thousand,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: five hundred and two downloads. Okay, almost eleven thousand in
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the past month. Not too shabby, says I have four
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty listenable episodes that I've put out now
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: on this channel. I also kick out the random research
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: ramblings with Rob and the book reviews, and some of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: my episodes have been lost for whatever reason, for whatever
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: reason at some point in time, because in the early days,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I had to pay for more storage, Like there was
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a free plan up to a point, and then in
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: order for them to save and keep hosting and and
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: all of that, you had to pay. And you know,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the same thing happened to Doug with some of his
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: old Dallas Action episodes. The same thing happened to me
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: with some of my old longuming podcast episodes, so you
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: know it is what it is. But as you can see,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: and this is just I'll click right here, it says
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: total total amount of listens accrued through Spreaker and any
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: other external sources such as Apple podcasts or Spotify. So
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: what it does is at tracks analytics. So say if
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: if you normally listen to the lungum And podcast on
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Apple podcasts, right and you subscribe, there those numbers, those
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: listens that every download gets kicked back through Spreaker and
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: recognized as a download, So it doesn't matter where you
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: listen in the in the auditory podcast world, it will
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: automatically come back here and register as a download to this.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: And with these analytics, I can show you here the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: sources of where most people listen. And again most people
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: listen on Apple podcasts. It is the big dog right
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: for listeners listen on Apple podcasts, twenty five percent on Spotify,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: four percent on iHeartRadio, and so on and so forth.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: What you're seeing up here in the graph is just
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: what I have checked. But all of the statistics are
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: over here, like going down to Amazon Music, if you
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: if you if you tell Alexa, hey play the lone
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: gum and podcast you can. That's where two percent of
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: my listeners come from. Again where I listen podcast addict here.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: One percent of the people listen to my show on there,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: and about that listen to that on spreaker on the websites.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: But it can go down. You know, all of these
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: places you can listen to the show, which is pretty cool.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: It also will tell me here where people listen from.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: So of course, the top country is the United States
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: seventy three percent, the United Kingdom at ten percent, almost eleven,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Canada surprisingly h three percent, almost four Australia coming in

• 25:12
  Speaker 2: listen by phone ninety percent in fact, listened on their phone,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: four percent on their desktop on their excuse me tablet,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: less than one percent on a TV or smart smart speaker.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: The big dog operating systems sixty eight percent, Apple, then Android,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: then Windows people. Some people listen on Roku somehow, I
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: don't know, but it's pretty crazy how this can all
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: break down. Pretty fascinating stuff. So let's go from here.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Let's go from here over to YouTube. Because all of
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: those analytics from spreaker are only for the auditory. That
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: means in your ear holes only, not visual, has nothing
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to do with YouTube. Those are just for the auditory numbers. Now,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: if you take and combine that with the YouTube listens
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: and subscribers since twenty fourteen. Whenever we started this, I
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: think I started uploading stuff to YouTube in twenty seventeen.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I think. I mean I had the channel before that,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: but I think I started uploading everything in twenty seventeen.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: I think. But let me show you our numbers on YouTube,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: because they're organic, as in not bought and paid for
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: with COFFUSERI so let me share my screen here here
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: we go. Now these are the Loan Guman podcast channel analytics.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: As you can see right now, we have two point
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: five thousand subscribers milestone folks. Now this is lifetime analytics,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: which I can look at here and last break it
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: down by the days, the year, the month, whatever. I
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: just happen on lifetime. And that's since the beginning. And
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: as you can see right here, on August fourth, twenty seventeen,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: we started uploading to YouTube. Where I started uploading to YouTube,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and again very steady organic channel growth over a period
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: of years, years, years years. Now here's where things start
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: to get interesting. In twenty twenty three, this is when
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: we decided to take the show live and do it
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: on YouTube. So before that I was just uploading non
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: video auditory podcasts to YouTube just as another way for
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: people to listen, But those downloads and views do not, again,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I repeat, do not run back to Spreaker to be
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: included in the listens and downloads, because it's a totally
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: separate deal. YouTube does not rely on my RSS feed
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: to supply it. With my podcast. I have to personally
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: upload things here so it doesn't get reported back to
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: my host site, Spreaker. So all of these analytics here
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: are totally separate, and you can add them to all
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: the spreaker statistics. Because these are totally separate. It's a
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: totally separate genre, a totally separate way to listen, and
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: it has nothing at all to do with my host
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: site Spreaker, and those analytics. These are all standalone on
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: YouTube again organic, you can see organic until there's a bump.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I believe the first time we went live was right
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: around this date here, November twenty fourth, twenty twenty three,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: and our channel jumped, okay, it jumped by views on
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: all that, and peaked somewhere around April of twenty twenty four,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: and then I guess the novelty wore off apparently, and
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: we sunk drastically back down into the two thousands, went
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: back up into the three thousands, sunk back down into
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: the two thousands, rolls back up a little bit, back down, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: And this is to this day. Now we're back down
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: in the two thousands, which is no bueno. But it's real, Okay,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: it's real. These are real people, not bots, not Chinese
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: like farms and subscriber farm. These are organically real. And
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: if you look down here, audience watch by behavior new viewers.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: For June twenty twenty six, most of our fifty three
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: percent of our views came from new viewers, nineteen point
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: eight percent from casual viewers that means people who've watched
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: my channel at least up to five months over the
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: past year, and then twenty six percent is regular viewers
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: popular with different audiences. Now this is lifetime, okay. But
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: what it tells you here is that the data for
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: views is not available before March seventeenth, twenty twenty five. Okay,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: But since March thirty first, twenty twenty five. These are
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the numbers for certain videos that are very popular on
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the channel. So the Roger Craig Interview has had two
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: point eight thousand views in the past a little over
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: a year episode two eighty two, Roscoe White alleged to Sassin.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: So if we click on this, it will tell you
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: the real number. Now, why it's not pulling it in
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: from here, I don't know. But uh, if we click
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: on this, it will tell you that since its inception,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: it's actually gotten four point five thousand views from when
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: we uploaded it one point three thousand hours of watch time.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: This video has garnered US sixteen subscribers after they watched it,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: and so far, since the time we uploaded it, it
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: has made us a whopping five dollars and fifty five cents. Okay,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: this tells you how rich we don't get here on YouTube.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: This is a video that has It's actually one of
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: our first lives. It's I think it's episode two eighty two.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Joe came on episode two eighty one or two seventy
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: one or something like that, but anyway, is one of
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: the first one with Joe. And again, all the money
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: we've made from this since its inception, which was looks
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: like the beginning of April whatever year this was, it's
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: been out for eight hundred and twenty two days, but
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: so far it's made a whopping five dollars and fifty
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: five cents in eight hundred and twenty two days and
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: YouTube takes thirty percent of that. Okay, so yeah, you
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: can kind of see how this works as far as views,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: to retention, to monetization videos, growing your audience, the Oswald
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Puzzle with Larry Hancock. But the again, these are all
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: low returns new viewers who returned, like, we've gotten the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: most of this, but it's still a relatively low number.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: How to become a better JKA researcher did well, but
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: still relatively low number. And there is none with the
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: green up arrows, which is fine. This statistic here tells
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: us when our viewers are on YouTube for the last
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: twenty eight days, and the lighter the color, the more
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: of our viewers are online. So you can see in
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the evenings a lot of my viewers are online in
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the evenings from about five pm to about nine pm.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: It's that way most of the evenings. Friday night, of
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: course they're on here watching us Saturday evening and even
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: early in the morning, but throughout the day it's a
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: modern modicum. Around six am, five am, four am, most
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: people are not watching and sleeping. Most people watch. It
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: tells you on their phones, their TVs, their computers, their tablets.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: It kind of breaks it down, kind of like speaker does.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: This is an interesting one subscriber bill notifications. Subscribers who
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: turned on all notifications for your channel. Only fourteen percent
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: of our twenty five hundred subscribers have the bill turned on. Now,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: it says typical on YouTube as anywhere from ten to
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: thirty percent, and we are at fourteen point seven percent,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: so that's a little higher than typical, but not as
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: high as I would like to see. And then down
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: here are subscribers who turned on all notifications for your
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: channel and enabled YouTube notifications even significantly lower six point
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: seven percent of my subscribers twenty five hundred, Only six
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: percent of them we'll get a notification from their phone
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: or device when we have something new coming. That's pretty low.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: But again it says it's typical on YouTube as typical
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: is five to twenty percent, So we're on the very
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: low end of typical watch time for subscribers. Now, this
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: is an analytic that I'm relatively proud of because it's
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: not necessarily the case for a lot of these channels.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Almost sixty percent of our watch time comes from our
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: subscribers who are subscribed to the channel and the casual
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: people who come over and watch some things but never
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: give us that subscribe that they just can't hit that
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: subscribe button for some fucking reason. Forty one percent of people.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Now, if we come over here to the right.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: It also has geographies again, United States a big dog,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia zero point two percent, which
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: is crazy to me because I have a lot of
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Australians that come out and show up for our lives.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: And again, you can break it down. You can break
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: it down now, let's see here. So all in all,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: for the lifetime of this channel, there's been half a
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: million views on all the content. Average view duration twenty
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: seven to twenty one. I wish more people listen longer,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: but whatever. Two hundred and forty one thousand watch hours.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: That means two hundred and forty one thousand hours people
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: have watched my content. That is a friggin lot, folks.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: That's almost unfathomably a lot. I can't I just can't
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: wrap my head around that. That's a big number. Age
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: and gender. This is surprising to me. Only nine percent
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: of my audience is female, which is very uh, I
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: guess you would say unrealistically proportioned to the amount of
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: live viewers and channel members, because we have a lot
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: of females that show up and participate in our lives.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Ninety percent or male. So pointing, well, yeah, there is
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: no there is no in betweens. Apparently that's good. Now,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: this is a surprising stat So less than one percent
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: of our channel viewers are under thirty four years old.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: That's nothing. So the new generation is not watching our shit.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: They don't care, They just don't ten percent, roughly eleven
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: percent of our audience is aged thirty five to forty four.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: The young bucks, as we say, twenty five or twenty
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: five percent, and this is my age range here, forty
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: five to fifty four. Tune in thirty six percent or
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: some of the oldsters right fifty five to sixty four.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: And then this is surprising, twenty five percent of my
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: listeners our sixty five years are older. That's crazy, that
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: is crazy, Gray Craig. So, as you can see, if
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: you were to combine five hundred and fifty some thousand
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: views on YouTube with nine hundred and seventy thousand listens
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: on Spreaker. We're probably up and damn close to a
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: million and a half downloads all together since the inception
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: of the show, which I'd venture to say ain't too
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: fucking bad for a low life, non harved educated lawyer
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: doctor from the backwoods of Virginia who just happens to
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: be interested in the case and has a fantastic, beautiful
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: analytical mind when it comes to trying to parse out
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: the information. That is my special skill, and I don't
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: always get it right, but I at least make it
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: fucking interesting. So with that being said, milestones, folks, I
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: love hitting them, among other things. So together, let's hit
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: some more. If you're not subscribed, hit the subscribe button.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Make sure that you are commenting if you enjoy the content.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Whether you agree or disagree doesn't really matter. If you
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: like us you hate us, let us know. Comment. Hype
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: the videos after they're up. Use your hype points. Apparently,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: whatever videos you watch on YouTube, you will accumulate hype
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: points to be able to hype videos. Hype our videos.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: It helps us be seen and helps the channel grow.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Feel free to share our episodes if you're in Facebook
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: groups or if you're on x anywhere like that, feel
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: free to share our episodes with people, whether it be
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: here on YouTube or auditory whatever. We'd appreciate it. That's
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: how you can help the channel grow. So I can't
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: wait to hit the next milestone, which I'm going to
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: put at three thousand subscribers here on YouTube. That's five
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: hundred more. Can we make it in a year? I
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: think we can with some hard work and dedications, So
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: hopefully next year, by July first, we got three thousand
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: subscribers because we do it organically and I'm not gonna
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: go out here and buy them. We're gonna keep grinding.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: We're gonna keep doing the hard work, putting the work
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: in getting her hands dirty, reading books, plunging through the documents,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and all of that jazz. We're gonna get there, honestly.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: So that's an achievable goal. Five hundred more subscribers in
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: a year. You know, I would love to have Congresswoman
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Luna on the show at some point in the future.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: She seems to be open to it and that would
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: be great too. That's a milestone, a milestone. So with
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: that being said, folks, this has been more random research
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: ramblings with Rob I'm so glad you stop by and
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: listen to me ramble Until next time, folks, it's your
• 44:07

  Speaker 1: Random Research Ramblings with Robin dig it through the details.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: That's his job. Don't tell us days and no reports.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: He breaks hit down in friendly shorts. Random Research Trambolin's
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: with Robin
