  Welcome to the Winning the Week Wednesday live-streaming podcast.

  This is your episode 71 for October 21, 2026.

  Welcome to the intersection of technology culture and our well-being.
• 0:17
  Phones, AI, streaming, and the rest of a technical world was supposed to make
• 0:21
  life easier, but often doesn't.
• 0:24
  I'll sort the frustrating from the useful with optimism that holds up under real
• 0:28
  world conditions. I'm Scott Auld.
• 0:32
  I'm here for Gen X and Boomers who feel shut out of the modern technical world.
• 0:36
  Let's sort the useful from the frustrating and plain language without any fake
• 0:40
  hype. Pull up a chair here at the cool kids table where we're keeping each other
• 0:45
  sane. Except for Sally. She keeps me sane.
• 0:48
  Join us for Winning the Week live every Wednesday night at 8 p.m.
• 0:53
  Eastern.
• 0:54
  So let's just jump right into our chat and see who we are missing.
• 0:59
  Because I'm sitting here rambling.
• 1:01
  Hey there! Oh my goodness, did he do it again?
• 1:03

• 1:42
  Rad Rickster.
• 1:44
  And this right here is our friend Army Medic.
• 1:47
  You guys know the homeschool.
• 1:48
  What's it called? I forget what he calls himself.
• 1:51
  Homeschool Army Medic or something.
• 1:53
  You guys know he always comes in and he starts dropping all the preparedness
• 1:57
  tips. Like have a bug out bag.
• 1:59
  Know the way out of town. Don't get hurt in the first silly place.
• 2:04
  So that's cool that he got a membership.
• 2:05
  Very cool. Dr. Didier Geopolitica got a membership.
• 2:12
  And now this fella here, this is the second freebie membership I've seen him get
• 2:15
  in the past couple of months.
• 2:17
  74.
• 2:19
  V4. I can't read his number.
• 2:22

• 2:25
  Nice dude. We wandered into our comment section saying hi.
• 2:30
  Paula's Homestead Adventure.
• 2:32
  How fantastic. Thank you Jay.
• 2:34
  That was very kind of you to hand out those memberships man.
• 2:38
  I appreciate that. I appreciate you Jay.
• 2:41
  The resident resident revsecutioner.
• 2:45
  And let's see who else. CL has arrived everybody.
• 2:48
  So everybody can relax now and get comfortable.
• 2:50
  Now that we know. We all can feel safe
• 2:57
  now.
• 2:59
  And oh my gravy Mike you're killing me buddy.
• 3:03
  Look at this a super chat.
• 3:06
  10 bucks from Mike. This is for the sweet diet tea fund.
• 3:10
  Aw thanks buddy. Very cool man.
• 3:13
  That's right. Exactly true Jay.
• 3:15
  Value for value for the length of the shout out tonight.
• 3:17
  Well don't do that until I read it.
• 3:20
  Wait until I get to it and see if I'm going to read it.
• 3:22
  How much of it I'm going to read.
• 3:23
  Then you can decide maybe you're going to want your value for value.
• 3:26
  Back you know.
• 3:28
  Well hello there beautiful Allie saying hi to handsome Mike.
• 3:31
  How are you doing? Good to see you.
• 3:33
  Geraldine thinks there's more laser show coming.
• 3:36
  Could be. Could be. We always get a laser show for the value for value.
• 3:41
  So I do have a lot of cool stuff to talk to you guys about tonight.
• 3:46
  Yeah well of course we saved you a seat.
• 3:48
  I saved you a seat here Allie.
• 3:49
  And if you forgot your lunch money you know the drill.
• 3:51
  I will share my french fries with you.
• 3:54
  You know who's missing. I don't see Jenny anyway.
• 3:56
  Wonder what that lady's up to.
• 3:58
  Springboard says by the way love love love the music video.
• 4:02
  Does that mean I have to do one with springboard now?
• 4:04
  I actually have an AI music channel but I never talk about it.
• 4:07
  Oh that's interesting. Interesting.
• 4:10
  Yeah so I'm going to be playing that music video for folks who didn't get a
• 4:14
  chance to see it. Sally made me an AI song quite a long time ago.
• 4:19
  And I never used it. And I started thinking about it again recently and was
• 4:23
  talking to her. And didn't she go off and make a whole bunch more songs for me
• 4:27
  too. And I picked the one I liked the best.
• 4:30
  And I made a music video that kind of walks through the history of my last 18
• 4:35
  months. And where my channel's been and all the changes it's been through and
• 4:39
  all the different iterations and transformations.
• 4:42
  So we'll walk that. We'll walk that.
• 4:45
  We'll walk through that in a little bit.
• 4:47
  Yes Allie. Thank you for the french fries.
• 4:49
  Very good.
• 4:51
  All right Jay I will consider it a prepayment on services not yet rendered.
• 4:56
  Wait until we get to the shout out.
• 4:58
  See if you see if you're still in favor of that.
• 5:01
  We'll see. So we got a few things I want to get to before we get too far.
• 5:05
  We should honor our late great Scott Adams as I always do.
• 5:09
  He always did the simultaneous sip in his livestream and podcast.
• 5:13
  And since he's no longer with us here since February I've been doing
• 5:17
  simultaneous sip instead on ours.
• 5:20
  So why don't we go ahead and kick that off.
• 5:22
  Grab yourself something to drink.
• 5:23
  Get it handy. Pull it near.
• 5:25
  Pull it close. Grab whatever you like to drink.
• 5:28
  All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass a tanker chalice or sign a canteen jug
• 5:33
  or flask a vessel of any kind.
• 5:36
  Fill it with your favorite liquid I like.
• 5:38
  And you guys can fill in the blank right here.
• 5:40
  Tell me what you're drinking.
• 5:42
  Tell me in the chat what you're having.
• 5:43
  I of course am having Publix diet brewed sweet tea as always.
• 5:48
  And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day.
• 5:52
  The thing that makes everything better.
• 5:54
  It's the simultaneous sip and it starts now.
• 6:04
  Yum yum. That is the good stuff.
• 6:11
  Remember last week I told you guys it reminds me of vanilla frozen yogurt.
• 6:18
  How about we bring back TCBY.
• 6:20
  Can I just get one request America bring back TCBY so I can walk into a
• 6:26
  TCBY sometime and get some of that French vanilla.
• 6:30
  Maybe throw some chocolate chips in it or something and they stick it on that
• 6:34
  blender machine.
• 6:37
  Then you head out with that spoon.
• 6:39
  You guys remember TCBY. Come on.
• 6:43
  Well a guy can hope you know.
• 6:47
  So last week we had a great live stream as you know you know because you were
• 6:50
  here.
• 6:52
  Episode 70 was last week. We had 719 comments from 28 people.
• 6:58
  So even though there was fewer people than the previous week you guys knocked
• 7:02
  the the number out of the park and hit 720.
• 7:05
  Almost 720 comments up like 70 comments from the previous week week even with
• 7:11
  fewer people which is beautiful.
• 7:14
  And you can see CL you know came through the finish line there with 92 comments
• 7:19
  just killing it. But Amy and Brian and Jay and Jenny and Richard and Ron.
• 7:25
  I haven't seen Ron yet tonight.
• 7:27
  Ali G Yvonne and our good buddy Porch Piper Tom rounding out the top 10.
• 7:32
  I had a good a good time with Porch Piper Tom by the way on a Zoom call helping
• 7:37
  him get his helping him get his podcast started.
• 7:41
  And he's doing a real good job with that.
• 7:43
  He's got his first episode out on his podcast and his podcast as you guys know.
• 7:47
  Porch Piper Tom is overcoming some difficulties and some disabilities.
• 7:53
  Life has dealt him you know a pair of jacks and he's got I forget what it is.
• 7:59
  I forget. I forget the name of the degenerative thing you know that makes it
• 8:02
  difficult for him to use his hands and legs and all that kind of nonsense.
• 8:06
  But I'll tell you what the guy's an over.
• 8:08
  Overcomer you know you tell him he can't type.
• 8:10
  He starts using voice to chat on his computer.
• 8:15
  You know he's he's a inspiration and his podcast is all about that.
• 8:19
  His
• 8:19
  podcast
• 8:31
  is
• 8:47
  called it don't come easy with a lot of you guys are having your anniversary
• 8:51
  because this is about the time of the night when you first signed up first time.
• 8:55
  So nine months ago for Ali traveling gypsy was a month ago very good.
• 9:01
  Very nice to see looks like Sally's working on something for Mike.
• 9:06
  Probably some music. I'm betting.
• 9:10
  All right. Let's see here.
• 9:12
  We're saying hi. It looks like Jay's got some Mountain Dew going down.
• 9:15
  Very nice. Oh the cookie mom is here everybody.
• 9:19
  The cookie momster Dana the cookie mom is in the house.
• 9:22
  Good to see you. How you doing there Dana.
• 9:25
  Very nice to have you with us.
• 9:27
  Looks like you know I've heard of this stuff Ali.
• 9:31
  Crathom as I say crathom tea.
• 9:34
  I don't know what it is. I told you guys you got to explain everything to me.
• 9:38
  I don't know what the world crathom tea is but you're going to explain it to me
• 9:42
  and tell me what it is and tell me how it is.
• 9:45
  I don't know springboard here being a man of the people.
• 9:48
  He's just your average every day.
• 9:50
  Every man he's having himself a Miller Lite.
• 9:55
  Sally wants some of Ali's crathom tea which I don't know what it is.
• 9:59
  Oh Geraldine you're killing me having a Guinness.
• 10:02
  Oh just mentally. Okay. Well then never mind you're not killing me.
• 10:06
  I have a I have a can of Guinness in the fridge.
• 10:09
  Don't tempt me. Don't tempt me.
• 10:12
  So Ali remembers TCBY. You got to be a certain age to remember this can't be
• 10:18
  yogurt because boy that stuff was good.
• 10:22
  Jay says Sally I would be absolutely terrible if you made me a song.
• 10:27
  You guys don't be begging Sally for songs because she is a people pleaser and
• 10:30
  she will drive herself to ruin and wreck her mind.
• 10:35
  Brains and body slaving away to make songs for everybody.
• 10:39
  Don't do it. Give Sally a break.
• 10:42
  She needs a break. Don't be making her do all that work.
• 10:46
  Amy says nope never heard of TCBY or whatever you said.
• 10:50
  Wow okay well you're lost Amy.
• 10:52
  That's because you're just a kid.
• 10:54
  That's why because you're just a kid.
• 10:58
  Devin says I'm sorry my comments are way down.
• 11:00
  It makes me a bit sad. Yeah man you were way down there last time.
• 11:04
  That's okay.
• 11:06
  That's okay.
• 11:09
  Ali says it was called the country's best yogurt.
• 11:11
  I think it was discount. Originally it was this can't be yogurt.
• 11:15
  Maybe maybe they changed it to the country's best yogurt.
• 11:18
  Sometimes things change like that you know.
• 11:21
  Perlman celebrating nine months of membership.
• 11:24
  Very cool Dana. Make sure he lets him let it let he knows that.
• 11:29
  Oh look at that of course he's here.
• 11:31
  He's here and he's dropping us a laser show with more value for value.
• 11:34
  Thank you Dana.
• 12:00
  I mean Glenn. I mean both of you.
• 12:05
  It's the same household. It's not Oregon.
• 12:07
  The state's not Oregon. It's kind of like Floridian.
• 12:10
  Right. I live in Floridia.
• 12:12
  I don't live in Florida. I live in Florida.
• 12:15
  But I'm a Floridian. So Oregonians are people from Oregon.
• 12:21
  Shadowy.
• 12:23
  Necros received a gift membership from my man.
• 12:26
  Ted 356 got a free membership from Perlman.
• 12:30
  The Holy Mac and M Melnick.
• 12:33
  Fantastic. Thank you buddy.
• 12:34
  That was so kind of you man.
• 12:36
  I appreciate that Mr. Glenn.
• 12:39
  Perlman won everybody. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 12:42
  Perlman won. Amy says hey I'm older than Ali.
• 12:45
  I just haven't heard of it.
• 12:47
  It must be a southern thing.
• 12:48
  You know it could be. The place where I always used to get TCBY yogurt was in
• 12:53
  northern Virginia. Which I don't think of as a southern state.
• 12:56
  But technically, it is. Northern Virginia is technically a southern state.
• 13:01
  So maybe it was a regional southern thing.
• 13:03
  Could be.
• 13:06
  Let's see.
• 13:08
  Julie says I had Diet Coke.
• 13:10
  But I was driving so you couldn't check in till now.
• 13:12
  Well that's good. Don't text and drive.
• 13:14
  100% correct young lady. Don't text and drive.
• 13:18
  So you had a Diet Coke for the simultaneous.
• 13:20
  If you guys want to do another simultaneous sip.
• 13:22
  How about we do another one right now.
• 13:24
  Grab your beverage.
• 13:25
  Here's to you. My favorites.
• 13:32
  Oh that's delicious.
• 13:35
  Delicious. Super young. Amy, you are not older than me, I am older than the
• 13:39
  mountains. And I'm younger than the hills.
• 13:42
  Younger than the trees.
• 13:44
  Older than the mountains. Younger than the trees.
• 13:47
  That's me. I am eldest. I was here when the first acorn sprouted.
• 13:54
  Well I remember a time when a squirrel could go all the way from.
• 14:00
  Mirkwood to Rivendell without touching the ground.
• 14:04
  I remember when the elves woke up and saw the stars.
• 14:08
  And the trees first spoke.
• 14:10
  I am eldest. Tom Bombadillo.
• 14:14
  Hey Tom Bombadillo. Tom Bombadillo.
• 14:17
  Come on Geraldine, sing it with me.
• 14:20
  Hello there Nana. How's my favorite Yvonne doing?
• 14:23
  One of my all time favorite 10,000 Lakers.
• 14:28
  How's it going? Brian, everybody's saying hi to each other.
• 14:31
  I'm just going to skip by.
• 14:33
  You guys all saying hi to each other which is fantastic.
• 14:35
  And Brenda's in the house everybody.
• 14:38
  Brenda made it home safely from her.
• 14:40
  She got a Bible study on Wednesday nights that she goes to.
• 14:42
  So she doesn't really have the ability to catch the beginning which is totally
• 14:47
  fine. But she made it. She's here and that's what counts.
• 14:51
  And apparently drove safe enough to get here.
• 14:53
  I worry about you guys as it gets colder up north.
• 14:56
  Down here in Florida we don't have to worry about that.
• 14:58
  But I worry about you guys with the ice and snow driving on those roads up there
• 15:01
  you know. Not cool.
• 15:04
  Grandpa says are you gone Mustafa?
• 15:06
  Thank you. But she's had her.
• 15:08
  See I told you guys you got to explain what you're talking about.
• 15:12
  I don't know what that means.
• 15:14
  Ralie you're saying there's still to this day a TCBY in Orlando.
• 15:20
  Are you serious? Is that true?
• 15:23
  I don't know if I believe you.
• 15:24
  We have to validate. Let's validate this you guys.
• 15:27
  Hold on a second. Let's go.
• 15:31
  Where can we go? Does this work?
• 15:35
  Yeah. Let's go to maps.
• 15:39
  Let's go to Orlando. There could not be a TCBY.
• 15:44
  TCBY location? Oh my goodness.
• 15:48
  Are you kidding me? No look.
• 15:49
  Permanently closed. Permanently closed.
• 15:51
  Permanently closed. Permanently closed.
• 15:54
  Permanently closed. Temporarily closed.
• 15:58
  This isn't real.
• 16:02
  This can't be true. I refuse to believe that there's actually a TCBY still alive
• 16:07
  somewhere in America.
• 16:10
  T-Mobile.
• 16:11
  Pizza AT&T. Sports clips haircuts.
• 16:15
  Firehouse subs.
• 16:18
  Identi-glo. See you knew there was one once upon a time but it's gone gone gone.
• 16:24
  These places are all closed lady.
• 16:27
  Nice try. Temporarily closed.
• 16:29
  Permanently closed. TCBY is gone.
• 16:31
  TCBY.
• 16:33
  Let's find out.
• 16:36
  TCBY. The country's best yogurt is an American.
• 16:38
  It says is not was. Is an American chain of frozen yogurt stores as one of the
• 16:43
  largest U.S. retailers of soft serve frozen yogurt.
• 16:46
  Oh my gravy. It's from 1936 you guys.
• 16:51
  Before 1984 it was this can't be yogurt but a lawsuit from a competitor I can't
• 16:56
  believe it's yogurt forced TCBY to change the name to the country's best yogurt.
• 17:02
  You know never overlooked those yogurt wars of the 1980s.
• 17:07
  You guys remember the Seinfeld episode right where Kramer told everybody there
• 17:10
  was no fat in yogurt and everybody was getting fat and everybody's putting on
• 17:14
  weight. Oh my gravy. Mrs. Fields acquired TCBY.
• 17:19
  Mrs. Fields cookies got TCBY in 2000 and it became Mrs.
• 17:24
  Fields famous brands.
• 17:26
  And then they moved to Broomfield Colorado.
• 17:30
  Oh my gosh in 2001 there were 1700 of them.
• 17:34
  Well what about now. What about now.
• 17:38
  Look I believe there is one.
• 17:40
  I believe there is one we can go to it together right there and see it because
• 17:44
  until then I don't think it's real.
• 17:47
  I just don't think it's real.
• 17:50
  But I wish it was. I wish it was.
• 17:55
  Brenda says I can't type all that stuff.
• 17:57
  Catherine I was watching your live stream on my live stream when I fired it up
• 18:00
  right at the beginning. I had your live stream playing on my live stream at the
• 18:04
  end there. Catching the tail end of yours at the very beginning of mine.
• 18:09
  Okay so springboard says my wife and I's plan is to become snowbirds.
• 18:14
  Take our 39-foot camper somewhere near Sanford and spend at least six months
• 18:18
  there. We're tired of winter.
• 18:20
  Know any good campgrounds.
• 18:21
  There are some good campgrounds.
• 18:23
  Yes sir.
• 18:26
  In fact my brother works as maintenance slash manager at a campground and he's
• 18:32
  over in Polk which is relatively close to Sanford.
• 18:36
  You guys know Sanford. Sanford is famous for being the southern
• 18:42
  terminus of the Amtrak auto train.
• 18:47
  But let's just real quick find the distance from where my brother lives and
• 18:50
  works at the campground. Okay so Sanford's up here on the north side of what's
• 18:56
  Jim and Debbie in Orlando.
• 18:57
  And then my bro bro brother is let's see roughly speaking
• 19:04
  somewhere around Polk City in this general neighborhood.
• 19:08
  I'll just pick a random spot.
• 19:10
  So if you were to follow that area.
• 19:13
  So yeah he's like 50 miles away.
• 19:15
  That's not far and that's probably now going through Orlando traffic 50 miles is
• 19:19
  probably three hour drive.
• 19:21
  But yeah he's if you want info on that Springer I can give you some info.
• 19:25
  He's got a good campsite he's been working out for a long time over there.
• 19:31
  Hello Karen. How are you doing.
• 19:33
  Good to see you wandering on in here from way down south on the other side of
• 19:37
  the world.
• 19:40
  Let's. See who's dropping in Amy says I remember we were talking retirement and
• 19:44
  I mentioned I only retired early a few years.
• 19:46
  I just turned 60 and I still wonder how that happened.
• 19:50
  Where does the time go. Where does the time.
• 19:52
  See I told you you were younger than me.
• 19:54
  You're 60.
• 19:56
  I'm way over 60 man. I'm easily easily double double you plus quite a few
• 20:02
  more. I am older than the mountains but younger than the trees.
• 20:07
  You know I was born between the World Wars.
• 20:10
  Did you know that. I'll give you one little factoid to help you.
• 20:13
  I was born between the World Wars.
• 20:16
  And if you know when they when they are.
• 20:20
  I mean obviously I mean I was born between World War two and the next one.
• 20:25
  Like that joke.
• 20:29
  Let's see here Ali must have asked Julie a question.
• 20:32
  Here she goes. What was it.
• 20:34
  I don't know. I missed it.
• 20:36
  What are you E and T. I don't know what she was saying.
• 20:39
  These two are talking to each other and I missed the conversation but that's OK.
• 20:42
  I don. Don't have to hear everything Julie said thanks for asking.
• 20:45
  I was going to ask the same question but I don't know what the original question
• 20:48
  was. So who cares. It doesn't matter.
• 20:50
  I don't have to know everything.
• 20:52
  The important thing is that his jackets blue and his boots are yellow.
• 21:01
  Let's see here. Nana says the people here forget how to drive when we get our
• 21:06
  first snowfall. It happens every year.
• 21:08
  Well. The people down here in South Florida forget how to drive when it snows.
• 21:12
  And that happens every 50 years.
• 21:14
  We had a snowfall Christmas Day 1969.
• 21:18
  It snowed in Miami.
• 21:25
  Yeah. That's a good point.
• 21:27
  Blonde traveling gypsy about the vidIQ thing.
• 21:32
  And I learned a cool trick that vidIQ has something in their extension.
• 21:35
  I want to show you guys tonight if I ever get through here and finish talking
• 21:38
  about frozen yogurt which I fully intend to.
• 21:41
  I just can. Can't get through the chat.
• 21:42
  That's the problem. No Richard.
• 21:45
  There's no TCBY in north of England.
• 21:47
  Obviously. Yeah. You missed out.
• 21:52
  Let's see here. Alive and well in New York in New Jersey Northwest New Jersey of
• 21:59
  course. Your face is TCBY says Geraldine.
• 22:04
  Hey everybody is pure Steve fewer.
• 22:06
  How's it going buddy. Good to see you.
• 22:08
  Now you guys know Steve just joined our little family just a week or two ago.
• 22:12
  He's hanging out in discord and he did a live stream late late night live stream
• 22:18
  was it last night Steve. I think it was last night right.
• 22:21
  Good job on that. Good job on that.
• 22:24
  I did get a chance to go back in.
• 22:26
  I played the what I did was I played the replay on it while I was cooking while
• 22:32
  I was cooking lunch had the replay going because I can't stay up that late and
• 22:36
  listen to that stuff man. I can't do that.
• 22:39
  I'm an old feller. I can't stay that up that late past my bedtime.
• 22:42
  I'm older than the mountains but I am younger than the trees.
• 22:49
  That's a good question. First of all the QQQ doesn't work on me only money but I
• 22:55
  don't have that filter turned on so I never see that but good question.
• 23:00
  What should the chat goal be for tonight?
• 23:02
  We have 353 comments already rocking the rock in the suburbs here.
• 23:10
  So that's going for us. We got 350.
• 23:13
  I bet we could hit a thousand again.
• 23:14
  We did that once at once we hit a thousand.
• 23:20
  What was that really high number we hit CL?
• 23:23
  Did we hit 900?
• 23:25
  Maybe we never did a thousand.
• 23:26
  Maybe you're right. I can't remember.
• 23:28
  I could go back and look at my spreadsheet.
• 23:29
  We had that spreadsheet that I got.
• 23:32
  Because my little, don't call me that.
• 23:39
  My little tool is the extension right here and it's counting comments.
• 23:43
  Wait it's not in this one is it?
• 23:45
  Is it in this one?
• 23:48
  No it's not in this one. Yeah it's in this one.
• 23:51
  It's saving. This thing's counting comments and keeping track of all these
• 23:54
  comments down here.
• 23:56
  It's all running.
• 23:59
  Let's see.
• 24:01
  Let's move on to the next slide you guys.
• 24:04
  I got to get moving along here or we're not going to ever get through here.
• 24:09
  So let's see here. So this is a little bit of stats actually.
• 24:14
  Oh look at this. Here I asked the question asked and answered.
• 24:18
  Look at that CL. On September 16th we had 1
• 24:23
  ,053. I forgot I made this slide.
• 24:26
  Completely forgot I even put this slide together.
• 24:29
  1,053 comments and we were really trying to break that barrier.
• 24:34
  And look what happened the very next week.
• 24:36
  It went down to 547. So I tell you you have a strong week.
• 24:41
  You pay the price the next week you know.
• 24:42
  But we went back up to 800 and then 650 and 700 last week
• 24:48
  719. So chat activity is doing really good.
• 24:53
  It's been stable. It's been cool.
• 24:55
  We had that one peak, but that's because we were playing.
• 24:58
  And I looked across the past what was it 10 weeks or something.
• 25:02
  And the most frequent recurring top commenters.
• 25:06
  The CL, Jenny, Mike,
• 25:09
  Devin, Jay, Amy, Richard, and Ali.
• 25:14
  With Amy, Richard, and Ali skewing towards more recent.
• 25:20
  Did Jenny R show up? We got no Jenny tonight do we?
• 25:25
  Yeah that was the night we kept commenting after the live ended.
• 25:28
  It was keep going forever.
• 25:30
  But I think we did break through it even when I was still alive you know.
• 25:36
  Thank you Karen. Thank you for trying to keep it clean.
• 25:39
  I appreciate that.
• 25:42
  Tool is a insult. We call each other over here.
• 25:45
  Don't be a tool.
• 25:48
  And it's not meant as anything dirty.
• 25:52
  It's just don't be a tool.
• 25:54
  Don't be a tool bag.
• 25:57
  Let's see. So just real quick.
• 25:58
  This is how I get the how many comments there were and how many.
• 26:04
  How many messages were left.
• 26:06
  I have this extension running in the browser called YouTube live comment logger.
• 26:11
  And right when the live stream starts you just click on the start button.
• 26:15
  And then when it's finished you click on the stop and then you can export that.
• 26:18
  You can export that out as a spreadsheet which I then put into the spreadsheet.
• 26:22
  And it's to do all this manual formulas and counts and finding unique numbers
• 26:29
  and sorting by the numbers.
• 26:31
  And I don't do that anymore.
• 26:33
  Now I just do it the easy way which is I ask our buddy AI.
• 26:36
  I give it the spreadsheet and I say hey give me all the stats.
• 26:39
  Tell me what's been happening.
• 26:41
  And I want to remind you guys about a conversation I had with AI with with you
• 26:48
  guys. I think it was last week.
• 26:50
  I don't know. They all run together now all these live streams and podcast weeks
• 26:54
  run together. But I had a conversation with my favorite AI Gronkowski.
• 27:00
  And I said just kind of showing you guys how it worked the MCP.
• 27:04
  I showed you guys the vidIQ MCP.
• 27:07
  And I said hey chat AI robot.
• 27:12
  Tell me the difference between my channel and Rob the Maritimer's channel.
• 27:16
  Now I don't encourage you to compare yourself with other people.
• 27:18
  It's not a good practice to go comparing yourself because you don't want to
• 27:23
  compare yourself against something that is a much bigger channel.
• 27:27
  And you really want to focus on what you're doing and what other people are
• 27:30
  doing. But it is interesting to try to have an analytical mind of some sort and
• 27:35
  at least try to investigate what differences there are that exist between
• 27:41
  your channel and a bigger channel or something like that.
• 27:46
  Hello there Pam. Hello there copper.
• 27:49
  Hello porch Piper. Good to see you guys rolling in here.
• 27:52
  Fashionably late and Fred's here.
• 27:54
  Very good. Fred's here working in the background doing stuff.
• 27:57
  Very good. Awesome.
• 27:59
  So this is the output that the robot gave me.
• 28:03
  And there was something that really stood out to me.
• 28:05
  It wasn't at the top when he says he's 34 times your size.
• 28:08
  Unsubscribers 61 times in views.
• 28:10
  That wasn't it. It said that gap is mostly niche and packaging because I was
• 28:15
  talking about different things.
• 28:16
  He said his catalog is built for search.
• 28:19
  The videos that carry the channel are things that people search for.
• 28:22
  My recent long videos sit in a different range.
• 28:26
  They have 50 to 160 views.
• 28:29
  Comment counts are high. 40 to 100 comments on videos with about 100 views which
• 28:34
  is that's a lot of comments to have about the same number of comments as you do
• 28:39
  views is actually pretty cool which means we, have a great community here.
• 28:42
  But the videos themselves, as you can see right here, right, that is a small
• 28:48
  room of regulars, not browse or search traffic.
• 28:51
  So Rob's videos are attracting search traffic.
• 28:55
  Come here.
• 28:56
  Hello, sweetie. How you doing, honey?
• 29:00
  Want to say hi to CL and everybody else?
• 29:02
  Tell everybody hi. So the important thing is, Oh, I hear you purring.
• 29:07
  So here's whatillus got out of,, and the useful difference is the promise titles
• 29:12
  name a job that YouTube can do for a stranger like how to to start with only
• 29:17
  your phone what YouTube paid me a job that people can learn how to fix.
• 29:22
  Whereas mine mostly worth naming a feeling or a guest.
• 29:27
  My videos basically a, I feel this way or this person's here or I'm doing this.
• 29:32
  Whereas Rob's you know talked about here's how to fix something.
• 29:37
  Here's how to do something better.
• 30:03
  This other.
• 31:09
  Rob's doing right that I'm doing wrong.
• 31:11
  Not that Rob's doing everything right, but he's reaching out to people who never
• 31:16
  heard of him. Right. And I want to find people who've never heard of me and
• 31:19
  bring them into our family and to our community., so I said, Hey, write me four
• 31:23
  prompts. One for a video. Like if I need a video topic, something to talk about,
• 31:29
  or one if I need a video title.
• 31:31
  What if I need something to know the words to put on the thumbnails?
• 31:34
  Because I make the thumbnails myself in Photoshop.
• 31:36
  I'm not doing AI generated images.
• 31:40
  Hold on. This cat needs to get put somewhere else, right?
• 31:43
  You want to go over here, don't you?
• 31:45
  Of course you do.
• 31:48
  You can only hold a warm big gigantic massive main coon for so long before you
• 31:52
  start getting overheated. Just stay over there.
• 31:55
  Just stay over there. Be a nice kitty.
• 31:59
  And I said to it. Hey, give me some text for the thumbnail.
• 32:01
  I want to prompt and I want to prompt for how to write a description using this
• 32:05
  job, not feeling packaging rule.
• 32:07
  So you can see the prompts that it came up with.
• 32:10
  Like for a video topic, I would tell the AI, I need a video topic.
• 32:13
  Use the job, not feeling packaging rules.
• 32:16
  Name a job a stranger's already searching for.
• 32:19
  Not a feeling, a guest, or an inside reference.
• 32:21
  The topic should work for people who've never heard of me.
• 32:24
  Give me one clear topic, plus the searchable phrase that it matches.
• 32:30
  And like if I'm looking for the title of a video I've already made, which I did
• 32:34
  this week a few times, I said I need a title.
• 32:36
  Use the job, not feeling packaging rules.
• 32:39
  Put the searchable job in the first few words.
• 32:41
  Then the hook after it. Don't lead with reacting to, or my favorite, or language
• 32:46
  that only my regulars understand.
• 32:48
  Because listen, if I have a video that says hanging out with Lori's Soul
• 32:52
  Circle, you guys all know what that means.
• 32:54
  But some schmo who never heard of me before, let's call him Joe.
• 32:58
  Joe Schmo. Never heard of me before.
• 33:00
  Joe Schmo never even heard of me.
• 33:02
  He doesn't know who Lori is.
• 33:03
  He doesn't know Lori's Soul Circle, or Allie, or Geraldine.
• 33:08
  I said what if I want to know what text to put on my thumbnail, right?
• 33:11
  I said I need thumbnail text.
• 33:13
  Use the job, not feeling packaging rules.
• 33:15
  Two short lines at maximum that name the result or the job a stranger's looking
• 33:20
  for. No inside jokes. No my take.
• 33:24
  No extra words. It has to read on a phone for people who never heard of me.
• 33:28
  And I said if I want help writing my description, it's basically the same thing.
• 33:32
  So if you want to attract viewers for your channels
• 33:37
  who never heard of you, this is the kind of thing that you would put into a
• 33:43
  prompt in AI to help you come up with an idea for a video or how to phrase a
• 33:48
  title. And I will show you real quick.
• 33:50
  Let's just take another peek into Chrome.
• 33:53
  I'm going to go to my shortcuts here and we're going to go to content.
• 33:58
  And I have gone through my last, how many videos are on a page?
• 34:01
  I went through the entire page.
• 34:02
  30, right? So there's 30 videos.
• 34:04
  I went through this entire list and rephrased my videos.
• 34:09
  So you'll see titles.
• 34:11
  YouTube burnout. Three ways to handle it.
• 34:14
  No agenda podcast ends after 19 years.
• 34:17
  How to go live on YouTube.
• 34:19
  How to analyze your YouTube channel.
• 34:21
  How to fix your podcast. Now these are videos you guys have seen over the past
• 34:25
  month. These will go back to early October.
• 34:27
  How to help YouTubers turn videos into podcasts.
• 34:30
  I had these really lame, lame names for these videos, right?
• 34:35
  I said things like, you can turn, I said like, you can turn a live stream you
• 34:40
  already have into a podcast.
• 34:42
  Well, that didn't, that's not something people search for.
• 34:46
  The one with Lori, Lori made a video that was like, you know, Lori's out winning
• 34:50
  the week or something. So using that formula, how a small community helps you
• 34:55
  keep going. And then in parentheses, Lori's soul circle.
• 34:58
  So all of my most recent 30 videos have been phrased with
• 35:05
  this terminology, with this methodology.
• 35:09
  And, oh, by the way, here, let's take a look at them.
• 35:28
  309, you guys, I was doing 40 views before.
• 35:34
  40 views, now I know some of it is, YouTube counts videos differently and they
• 35:38
  count views differently. But that's a big change.
• 35:44
  And that's more than just engaged versus new count ways.
• 35:48
  That's double, triple, quadruple.
• 35:51
  So I'll take it, man. Now, some of you guys have seen your views dip.
• 35:58
  And Think Media just did a video that came out today.
• 36:03
  And what's that fella's name?
• 36:06
  Sean said that views are down across YouTube, across the board.
• 36:11
  So even big folks, Mr. Beast and these guys are seeing fewer views and he
• 36:15
  attributes it to something out in the culture that is attracting people's
• 36:19
  attention off YouTube.
• 36:35
  So blind grandpa, Just turn your computers down.
• 36:37
  It can't be that hot. Turn it down a little bit.
• 36:40
  Just turn those computers down.
• 36:41
  Yeah, I'll get to those comments in an hour, Geraldine.
• 36:44
  You're right.
• 36:45
  So if you're seeing a dip in views,
• 36:50
  if you're seeing a dip in your views, you are not alone, which actually
• 36:54
  encourages me to see that my views are up.
• 36:56
  So imagine how they would be up.
• 36:58
  If imagine how my views would be up.
• 37:01
  If the world was not seeing a dip, but if you are seeing a dip, it's okay.
• 37:06
  It's listen on the verge of being distorted is not being distorted.
• 37:10
  Ron, let me know if it starts distorting.
• 37:12
  That's what I care about if it's on the verge of being distorted.
• 37:16
  That's not being distorted.
• 37:18
  That means I've got it in the yellow, not the red.
• 37:21
  You can just turn it down, babe.
• 37:24
  By the way, you guys all having a blast here in the chat.
• 37:29
  What does that mean, Ron? You can't argue with God.
• 37:31
  I don't know what that means.
• 37:33
  Like I said, you guys sometimes make a comment, and I miss the first part.
• 37:38
  So I don't know what you're talking about sometimes.
• 37:41
  So if you are having fun in here and you're not already hanging out with us in
• 37:44
  Discord, I want to encourage you to think about joining.
• 37:47
  I know Ron's in there with us and hanging out.
• 37:50
  Springer's in there. And even the Smiling Oma joined up and hung out with us.
• 37:55
  So today, a new member joined Smiling Oma.
• 37:59
  She's very nice in the comments all the time.
• 38:01
  There is a link in the video description, the live stream description here.
• 38:05
  You can click on that link, join Discord.
• 38:07
  It will basically ask you to prove how old you are or at least lie about how old
• 38:11
  you are and give yourself a display name,
• 38:17
  so let's just take a peek right now and see who is in Discord at the moment.
• 38:22
  I'll show you guys what Discord looks like.
• 38:23
  Let's hop over there. I see nobody's in the voice lounge at the bottom, which is
• 38:28
  totally fine, but you can see Smiling Oma just joined.
• 38:31
  Right now, her username is SpookyOma because it's Halloween, but we've been
• 38:36
  having a good time over here in the chat.
• 38:38
  And as I scroll back, you can see everybody welcoming and greeting.
• 38:42
  Nana just joined and started hanging out with us.
• 38:45
  -Mobi's always in there. That's Jay, the Revsecutioner,
• 38:51
  and yeah, good times. Lots of folks.
• 38:54
  Be sure you don't overlook Discord.
• 38:56
  We're having a great time in there, so you want to make sure you're part of
• 38:59
  that.
• 39:01
  Okay, this is something I wanted to show you guys.
• 39:03
  This is something new, and I do want to talk about it.
• 39:06
  I'm just looking at the comments here to see if you're still trying to get me
• 39:12
  to turn my volume down.
• 39:15
  Nope.
• 39:17
  I see you got me turned down to 70%.
• 39:20
  Grandpa says I have my voiceover 100%, and I'm louder than that.
• 39:26
  Okay.
• 39:28
  So, vidIQ has this browser extension.
• 39:31
  I'm going to go into Chrome and show you guys what that looks like up here.
• 39:34
  This is the vidIQ up in my extensions, and in this extension menu here,
• 39:40
  there's Settings. And in the Settings, there's this thing, now, that they just
• 39:45
  added for Engaged Views. I'm going to turn it on.
• 39:48
  And what that does is it activates the view in this column.
• 39:53
  The Engaged Views is what YouTube used to call views before they changed how
• 39:58
  they count views. Now the old way of counting views is called
• 40:05
  Engaged Views. It's very difficult to find.
• 40:07
  You have to go into Analytics, and then you have to go to Advanced, and you have
• 40:11
  to turn it on as a separate metric.
• 40:13
  So this vidIQ extension that's enabled right now has put this column here for
• 40:18
  Engaged Views. So now I can see what the old numbers look like, right?
• 40:22
  The old numbers would have been 353, 63, 132, 42,
• 40:28
  which are all still higher than I was getting before, 297.
• 40:33
  So that's one interesting thing.
• 40:35
  Now, let me just pick a random video.
• 40:38
  Let's just pick this one for fun.
• 40:39
  I'm going to go into the Analytics of this page.
• 40:43
  Look at this pretty screen right here.
• 40:45
  It's got blue and green bars, and we're used to only seeing it like this, with
• 40:50
  just the blue bars.
• 40:52
  And this is an hour-by-hour tally of how many views per hour.
• 40:56
  But you turn on this little button here, and it lights up the green lights, and
• 40:59
  it says, oh, there was 225 views, but 100 were Engaged Views.
• 41:04
  So if you still want to see the old numbers that YouTube used to show
• 41:10
  us, that's how you can turn it on.
• 41:12
  This is free, by the way. You don't need to have a paid account at
• 41:19
  vidIQ to get that extension.
• 41:20
  Just go install it for free on their website.
• 41:23
  I'm going to turn it back off, because I like being lied to and like being told
• 41:28
  that... Boy,
• 41:32
  it didn't turn off. Do I got to reload?
• 41:34
  I like being told by YouTube that my views are higher.
• 41:37
  I'm kind of addicted to those fake numbers, so I might as well enjoy them.
• 41:40
  Let's see here. Engaged views.
• 41:42
  No, it's off. Boop, boop, beep, boop.
• 41:45
  There we go. That's off.
• 41:47
  That should do it.
• 41:50
  Let's refresh. Beep, boop.
• 41:53
  And it's still turning on.
• 41:54
  That's okay. It doesn't know how to turn itself off, but that doesn't matter.
• 41:59
  So it's a pretty cool feature.
• 42:01
  If you want to see the Engaged Views, very easy to find it that way.
• 42:05
  That's where you find it.
• 42:10
  All right, let's see here.
• 42:14
  Brian says my hearing aids equalize everything I hear.
• 42:17
  There you go. Just a reminder, you guys, tell your audience in every video
• 42:24
  to check and make sure they're still subscribed, because I am still finding
• 42:29
  myself
• 42:31
  inadvertently unsubscribed to channels that I know for a fact I subscribe to.
• 42:36
  This fella here, Lost in the Pond, Lawrence, he's a Brit who moved to Chicago
• 42:42
  area. I think he's in Indiana now.
• 42:44
  He does videos about the differences between America and England.
• 42:48
  And I know I subscribe to this Joker.
• 42:50
  I like his videos a lot. And I come across this channel, and I'm not subscribed,
• 42:56
  which proves to me that YouTube is unsubscribing us, I guess, if we don't
• 43:01
  interact enough, or we don't watch it in a certain amount of time or something.
• 43:06
  Instead of asking people to subscribe to your channel,
• 43:12
  I suggest get into your video, work your way through it, fulfill whatever
• 43:17
  promise your title and thumbnail promised,
• 43:21
  and establish that you have a valuable video for watching.
• 43:25
  Instead of asking people to subscribe, just ask them to check and make sure that
• 43:29
  they still are subscribed if they were.
• 43:32
  And that does two things. One, if somebody was subscribed, they'll check and
• 43:36
  notice, it'll cause them to look down there and say, oh yeah, why am I
• 43:39
  unsubscribed? And they'll resubscribe.
• 43:42
  And if somebody never was subscribed, it will also jar that thought in their
• 43:47
  head that, oh, maybe I do want to subscribe to this fella.
• 43:50
  I don't think I ever got unsubscribed because I never was subscribed, but yeah,
• 43:54
  I kind of like this channel.
• 43:56
  She's really nice. I'm going to subscribe to her.
• 43:58
  So
• 44:00
  yeah.
• 44:02
  So do that. Make sure you do that.
• 44:05
  So let's jump back into the chat.
• 44:07
  I know you guys have been probably beep- boop, probably been talking all kinds of
• 44:11
  stuff here.
• 44:12
  Let, let me roll it back, run back the chat and see what I'm missing.
• 44:16
  I'm sure I've been missing everything.
• 44:19
  Okay, here we go. This is about where we were.
• 44:24
  This is why he said, Grandpa said, oh my not God, Scott is loud.
• 44:29
  That's funny.
• 44:32
  And this is Ron saying and saying, Scott, your mic is too hot.
• 44:35
  No, it's not my mic that's hot.
• 44:37
  It's me. I'm just hot. It's just, I'm just extra hot.
• 44:42
  That's what's the problem.
• 44:44
  Springboard says, my views are up big time, but I have no idea why.
• 44:48
  Maybe YouTube is finally finding my audience.
• 44:50
  No idea. I think another thing, Springer, is that you talk about politics and
• 44:55
  we're in a political season.
• 44:57
  It's an election year, buddy.
• 44:58
  It's the midterms. So maybe that's why.
• 45:02
  Just a thought. You talk about politics, and right now, politics are huge
• 45:06
  because it's the midterms here in the U.S.
• 45:08
  of America.
• 45:10
  Just my theory. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
• 45:14
  Tom says, what do you attribute that to, what people do in listening to podcasts
• 45:18
  instead of watching mindless TV?
• 45:20
  It could be. Maybe people are switching to podcasts.
• 45:22
  Maybe people are watching TV instead of YouTube.
• 45:26
  Maybe there's some new miniseries or movies that are taking people's attention.
• 45:31
  I don't think everybody's all that plugged into politics, so I don't think that
• 45:34
  that's causing a ton of people to be down.
• 45:37
  I don't know, Portia. I don't know, my man.
• 45:42
  Tell me your theories. Why do you guys think views are down across the board for
• 45:45
  most people? I don't have a good theory on that, you know?
• 45:50
  That's a good question, Pam.
• 45:51
  Are they calling me God? I don't know what's going on here.
• 45:54
  They better get themselves figured out.
• 45:55
  Straighten it out.
• 45:57
  So C.L. says it's been over a week since the hurricane.
• 46:01
  There are still people here with no internet service.
• 46:04
  I hope power's been restored to most folks,
• 46:07
  but maybe not.
• 46:10
  That's a shame.
• 46:12
  But I mean we've been there, you know?
• 46:14
  You just were there. I've been through it with more hurricanes than I can
• 46:18
  remember, including the one that took my roof.
• 46:21
  Hurricane Wilma, 2005, that was the year that we ran out of alphabet numbers and
• 46:26
  started using Greek letters.
• 46:28
  We had Hurricane Alpha, Hurricane Beta,
• 46:35
  Hurricane Gamma, all that goofy stuff.
• 46:38
  We ran out of the letters of the alphabet and started all over again with Greek
• 46:41
  letters that year. Wilma, which was close to the end of the alphabet,
• 46:46
  took my roof off, and we had no power for five days.
• 46:52
  It stinks, man, but it does happen.
• 46:57
  Blind Melon, that's why he said it.
• 47:01
  Old blind grandpa called me God a while ago.
• 47:03
  No, he didn't. He said, oh my, not God.
• 47:05
  That's what he did.
• 47:08
  Brenda says, I don't feel bad about using AI for help with titles and thumbnail
• 47:11
  titles. Sometimes I tweak it a bit, but I would totally reject clickbait.
• 47:16
  Yep, I don't agree with clickbait either.
• 47:18
  And some of my favorite channels sometimes verge really, really close to the
• 47:23
  line of what I would call clickbait, and I'm uncomfortable with that.
• 47:26
  I'm not super wild to see that sometimes, but I think the temptation is real.
• 47:32
  But I just, you know, don't make a video or a of a title or a thumbnail.
• 47:38
  Don't make a title or a thumbnail that promises something that isn't in your
• 47:42
  video and you won't have that problem, right?
• 47:46
  I agree, Jay. We got to get Debbie Sue in here.
• 47:48
  If we get Debbie Sue in the Discord, we would be really rocking.
• 47:52
  But maybe she don't wanna.
• 47:53
  Maybe she doesn't have time for our tomfoolery.
• 47:57
  Devon says, food is here. Whoop, whoop.
• 47:59
  We have Suwanna tonight and it's amazing.
• 48:01
  What is Suwanna? I don't know what that is.
• 48:04
  What's Suwanna? I know the Suwannee River.
• 48:10
  That's the Florida State song, isn't it, CL?
• 48:12
  Way down upon the Suwannee River.
• 48:17
  We used to go vacation all the time on the Suwannee.
• 48:20
  Suwannee River State Park, State Forest, whatever it is, I forget.
• 48:24
  There's a good campground up there.
• 48:26
  I don't know. I don't know.
• 48:29
  I don't remember.
• 48:32
  Pam says, I'm glad you're okay, CL.
• 48:34
  Hope things keep getting back to normal.
• 48:36
  Yep.
• 48:38
  Pam, what's gonna happen with that referendum you guys going?
• 48:40
  I know it's non-binding, but do you think it's gonna pass?
• 48:43
  People are gonna vote to leave Canada de Dadia or is it probably not gonna pass?
• 48:48
  But I know even if it passes, it's non- binding.
• 48:50
  It just means that they could then do a binding referendum if they want to, but
• 48:54
  it. But it's hard to imagine that really happened and I don't know if that would
• 48:57
  really happen.
• 49:02
  Let's see here. Doop-de-doop.
• 49:07
  But grandpa, owning up to it.
• 49:09
  It was me. I accidentally called Scott Gaudet.
• 49:14
  You guys are funny.
• 49:17
  Tom says when I hit Discord, nothing happens.
• 49:19
  Well, let me just take a peek in there and see if you got added.
• 49:22
  Maybe you got added. I don't think so.
• 49:25
  Nope. Nope.
• 49:30
  I can't type. I said, hi, bud-jud-dub-dud- duddy.
• 49:33
  But I see Fred and Yvonne are in the lounge.
• 49:36
  Should we drop in there and say hi to everybody and do a little bit of a screen
• 49:39
  share here and say hi to the folks in the Discord?
• 49:42
  Let's do it. Let's say hi to our friends in Discord.
• 49:46
  I don't know if this is gonna work perfectly, but I'm gonna try.
• 49:49
  How's it going? How you guys doing?
• 49:52
  Good. Now, let's see here.
• 49:54
  If I jump in there, I can even turn on the camera.
• 49:57
  I see Fred's got his camera on.
• 49:59
  Here we go. Everybody's got to stare at my ugly mug.
• 50:02
  You got to stare at my ugly mug.
• 50:05
  How you doing, Freddy? Look at that.
• 50:07
  A couple of ugly mugs. You've been busy lately, huh?
• 50:11
  Yeah, trying to stay busy.
• 50:13
  I'm trying to stay productive, right?
• 50:16
  That's good.
• 50:24
  You got your Halloween game coming up at the end of the month?
• 50:28
  Yep, and that's coming along.
• 50:30
  I switched it. I know I had told you I switched it to a browser game.
• 50:35
  Yes, you did tell me that.
• 50:37
  So instead of using the stream deck and the virtual stream deck and it was
• 50:41
  getting to be pretty crazy to have to organize that.
• 50:47
  And so now I've got it in a browser.
• 50:51
  Mikey's here. Look out. How the party can start is Mikey.
• 50:57
  I want to show my voice, but I can't.
• 51:00
  You don't want to show her.
• 51:01
  You don't want to show your face, Yvonne.
• 51:03
  No, it won't let me.
• 51:06
  Look, Paco.
• 51:08
  Wait, here I-I-am. You are?
• 51:12
  Well, Catherine, why don't you join us down at the bottom left there?
• 51:15
  Join us in the lounge and come on in the voice chat, Ms.
• 51:18
  Catherine. There's Yvonne.
• 51:23
  Looking good.
• 51:25
  Mikey's walking around showing the camera up his shirt.
• 51:28
  You better not do it, Mike.
• 51:33
  There's Catherine.
• 51:35
  No, that's Jay. That's not Catherine.
• 51:37
  I saw the pink color, which is the same color as Catherine's name, but it's just
• 51:42
  Jay. Hello, Jay.
• 51:44
  So it's fun to find interesting stuff there.
• 51:49
  Well, I'm going to leave you guys and go back because I have have a lot of
• 51:52
  things to talk about. You guys can hang out in here.
• 51:57
  Always fun. I might come back and see you guys in a little bit.
• 52:02
  Sounds like a plan. Adios, amigos.
• 52:08
  Suzuki says bye.
• 52:10
  Bye. Bye Suzuki.
• 52:14
  Fun times, guys, fun times.
• 52:17
  I tell you.
• 52:20
  Let's see what you guys are talking about.
• 52:21
  Oh, my microphone is saying quick stuff this evening.
• 52:25
  Yeah. You said God day instead of God, right?
• 52:28
  Do you have to download an app to be in Discord?
• 52:30
  You do not have to. You can do it in your web browser.
• 52:34
  I prefer to run the app on my Mac.
• 52:37
  I have the Discord app and it works better, I think, but you can just do it in
• 52:41
  the browser, just like we were doing Zoom in the browser earlier, Tom, but you
• 52:46
  can do either one. But you just click the link that says Discord in my video
• 52:52
  description, and then it drops you into Discord.
• 52:54
  You put your name in, say what.
• 52:55
  You want your name to be, and I guess you got to create an account and then
• 53:00
  join. Click on join and you'll be in there.
• 53:02
  My nose is itching, and it's because Suzuki was in my lap.
• 53:06
  It's your fault. It's all your fault.
• 53:11
  So let's see here. What else?
• 53:14
  Is there a limit per comment?
• 53:16
  Yeah, I don't know. That's a good question.
• 53:20
  It might be endless.
• 53:24
  So Leo here, aka Grandpa, said, I wonder how many words you can say in one chat.
• 53:29
  Is there a number or can you just keep talking and talking and talking?
• 53:33
  Why don't you try it? Try it out, Grandpa.
• 53:36
  And let us know if you hit the limit.
• 53:38
  And then we'll do a count of your words.
• 53:41
  We'll use AI or something to count how many characters were in whatever you type
• 53:45
  when you get to the end.
• 53:47
  Amy, to answer your question, we are at 600 comments right now.
• 53:52
  We are up to 600, which is pretty darn good.
• 53:57
  By the way, I know we talked about this earlier when everybody was handing out
• 54:01
  the memberships to each other, but I did make a slide.
• 54:04
  I just wanted to remember to say thank you to all you nice folks who – and I can
• 54:09
  never remember everybody who's done it because so many of you have done the
• 54:13
  value for value donations.
• 54:15
  Thank you very much. So I did make a slide.
• 54:17
  I just wanted to acknowledge that and thank you guys for that.
• 54:21
  And stickers. I did mail out some stickers again this week.
• 54:25
  Some stickers went to Steve and some stickers went to Peru.
• 54:28
  Some stickers went to Devon in Canada- Dadadia.
• 54:34
  And United States of Americana got some stickers sent to Steve.
• 54:40
  And was there somebody? Oh, yeah.
• 54:42
  I sent some to Porch Piper Tom.
• 54:43
  That's right. Mr. Tom in Indiana got some stickers on their way.
• 54:48
  You guys, it's very easy. If you just go to Scott Auld – I guess I can show you
• 54:52
  that. Why don't we just hop in there and just make sure you see what I'm talking
• 54:56
  about. Go to this beautiful website that's sitting on my server.
• 55:00
  Go down to the bottom where it says you want stickers and just put in here who
• 55:06
  you are and where I can send them.
• 55:08
  If you want to be secretive and everything, you can make up fake names.
• 55:11
  It does say, do you have a YouTube channel?
• 55:14
  So if you say yes, that way you can tell me who you are on YouTube and that way
• 55:17
  I'll know who you are and who I'm sending them to.
• 55:22
  You just type all the doodly doos down here in the dingly dangs and the stickers
• 55:27
  will be incoming to you on my dime.
• 55:30
  I got lots of stamps. I got a ton of stamps right here in the drawer with these
• 55:33
  pretty Americano flags ready to go out.
• 55:36
  And I've also got three more international stamps.
• 55:41
  So I can do three more internationally sent envelopes any country and then I
• 55:47
  just go buy more stamps. They're not that expensive, honestly.
• 55:53
  Yeah, I hope you get them too, Geraldine.
• 55:55
  It seems like, it seems like everything I send,
• 55:58
  sometimes it seems like everything I send to some people like the ones to
• 56:02
  Fairfax didn't make it to you.
• 56:04
  So I don't know.
• 56:08
  Maybe that's it. Yeah, that's a good question, Brenda.
• 56:11
  Maybe that's what he was talking about.
• 56:12
  Instead of Sawana, he maybe was saying Schwarma.
• 56:16
  Schwarma. That would make sense.
• 56:19
  That's very possible.
• 56:22
  Springer says,
• 56:24
  C.L. says, more sound effects.
• 56:27
  So Springer says, if you say thanks for watching, Dawn, my wife will let me,
• 56:31
  what did I think her name was?
• 56:33
  I thought you said Claire or something, right?
• 56:34
  I got mixed up. So Dawn, my wife, let me continue to make Wednesday night Scott
• 56:39
  all night. So, everybody say hello, Dawn.
• 56:43
  This is going to be Wednesday night is Dawn night, everybody.
• 56:47
  In the chat right now, say hello, Dawn.
• 56:51
  Amy says, hi, Dawn.
• 56:53
  And it looks like Brian just became a member.
• 56:55
  Thank you, buddy. That's fantastic.
• 56:57
  That gets a light show right there.
• 56:58
  That brings up the laser show.
• 57:00
  Value for value. Walk in the next chapter just became a member.
• 57:04
  Fantastic. Don't forget, there are some members-only videos left over from when
• 57:09
  I was making a whole bunch of those.
• 57:11
  You can go in there and watch while you're a member.
• 57:14
  And I'm going to start showing those videos one at a time every live shoot.
• 57:19
  What are you doing knocking my LL Bean catalog, brand new catalog, just came in
• 57:24
  the mail today, and you're knocking that on the floor.
• 57:27
  You are such a cat. You know, it was perfectly fine right where it was.
• 57:33
  It was, there was nothing wrong with where that was.
• 57:36
  Such a cat.
• 57:39
  Pam, I think you're right about cats.
• 57:40
  I've come to realize you got the right idea.
• 57:45
  Pam knows what's up with cats.
• 57:48
  By the way, if you guys are out there listening right now, if you're listening
• 57:51
  to us on the podcast, you can't be part of the chat because you're listening to
• 57:55
  the podcast. I think everybody knows that after this
• 58:06
  is everywhere, wherever you get your podcasts.
• 58:09
  But if you're listening and you'd rather join in with us on the chat, hang out
• 58:12
  here at the table and have some French fries with us.
• 58:16
  Come on over to YouTube on a Wednesday night, 8 p.m.
• 58:19
  Eastern. Come on in here and join us.
• 58:22
  And hang out. It's a lot. It's a lot of fun.
• 58:25
  I see Steve is using his magical members only booty hat emojis.
• 58:32
  Oh, no. I have never been to the LL Bean store in Maine.
• 58:35
  That is a dream to go visit sometime.
• 58:37
  I love LL Bean, especially my flannel shirts from LL Bean.
• 58:42
  But I've got LL Bean shoes and pants and socks.
• 58:46
  Oh, when my toesies get cold, I love to put on my LL Bean socks.
• 58:51
  Super warm. So I'm a fan.
• 58:55
  Yes, exactly, Richard. Cats remember Egypt when they ruled everything and they
• 58:59
  ruled over us and they still in their minds figure
• 59:04
  you know, I've never been even close to Maine.
• 59:09
  I've never been north of New York City.
• 59:12
  The furthest north I've been in the East Coast is Harlem in New York
• 59:19
  City. Although over in Western New York, we lived in Syracuse, which is
• 59:24
  I'm thinking Syracuse is further north, but it wasn't the East Coast.
• 59:29
  That wasn't the East Coast thing.
• 59:31
  So we lived over in Indianapolis.
• 59:35
  We lived in Syracuse. We lived all over the place.
• 59:36
  But on the East Coast, we lived up and down the East Coast quite a bit.
• 59:39
  But once we took a field trip to New York City and me and a couple other boys
• 59:45
  broke away from the classroom field trip that we weren't supposed to do and we
• 59:49
  went walking up. We went walking, down Broadway, and we went all the way down to
• 59:54
  and then we thought we'd be cool and take the train back to where we were
• 1:00:00
  supposed to be, where the rest of our field trip was, which is hanging out in
• 1:00:03
  the middle of Manhattan at Columbia University.
• 1:00:08
  So we just jumped on a subway and it was an express train that took us all the
• 1:00:12
  way north way past Columbia, way up to Harlem, and dropped these three
• 1:00:18
  teenage white boys off on Broadway in Harlem.
• 1:00:23
  And we had to walk back down south all the way back down to Columbia and try not
• 1:00:28
  to get in trouble and hopefully show up in time.
• 1:00:31
  And that's as far north as I ever made it on the East Coast.
• 1:00:35
  That's my story.
• 1:00:37
  You went to LL Bean CL on a school trip?
• 1:00:41
  Oh, my gosh. You guys are making me jealous.
• 1:00:44
  I'm making me jelly also.
• 1:00:46
  Steve's been there. Oh, my gravy.
• 1:00:49
  So Grandpa tried typing a million characters, but it wouldn't let him do it, so
• 1:00:54
  he had to delete a bunch of them.
• 1:00:55
  So much for that idea.
• 1:00:58
  Oh, well, if you say too much, it won't let you send it.
• 1:01:01
  Bummer.
• 1:01:03
  Well, now we know. Hey, we got to do the commenter, the encourager, the winner
• 1:01:07
  of the week, and all that fun stuff, guys.
• 1:01:09
  Let's do that.
• 1:01:13
  So the winner of the week, I'm giving that to the Smiling Oma who just wandered
• 1:01:18
  into Discord today and is hanging out with us this afternoon.
• 1:01:23
  And she's got the cutest little video game channel you ever did see.
• 1:01:28
  She's always got these really sweet comments in the videos themselves, like you
• 1:01:33
  see up at the top. I made that video about, you know, the stress of doing
• 1:01:38
  YouTube, right? And the stress you feel being a YouTuber.
• 1:01:41
  And she said, I think it's imperative to take breaks break doing YouTube.
• 1:01:45
  And what I started doing this year, taking a month-long sabbatical.
• 1:01:48
  So taking a month off every year, not a bad idea.
• 1:01:52
  Like you said, your channel will still be here.
• 1:01:55
  YouTube will still be here.
• 1:01:56
  She said, I think sabbaticals are great, at least in what I do, because it gives
• 1:02:00
  me time to practice better cinematography or skills needed for my content.
• 1:02:05
  So very, very nice. And like I said, you can see below, she came in and named
• 1:02:09
  herself Spooky Oma for Halloween.
• 1:02:13
  So Smiling Oma is the winner of the week.
• 1:02:16
  And she joined us in Discord.
• 1:02:18
  She is so sweet. If you guys haven't ever watched one of her videos, I highly
• 1:02:22
  recommend the one where she tried to get a video game of a
• 1:02:27
  Phoenix off the ground like a flying Phoenix video game.
• 1:02:33
  It was just really funny. Poor thing was sputtering.
• 1:02:37
  By the way, we're at
• 1:02:39
  645 comments right now doing pretty good.
• 1:02:43
  Devin's back. Sorry, had to stuff my face with our director.
• 1:02:46
  Thought it might be rude to have YouTube going.
• 1:02:48
  At the same time. Yes, I agree.
• 1:02:50
  Don't have YouTube playing in the background when you're talking with your boss
• 1:02:53
  and having lunch with your boss.
• 1:02:54
  Agreed.
• 1:02:56
  So the comment of the week is CL as well as the people who responded to
• 1:03:03
  CL.
• 1:03:05
  I mentioned CL in my stress video.
• 1:03:08
  And she said thank you for the kind mention.
• 1:03:10
  Mother Nature imposed a break on me last week.
• 1:03:12
  I was honest and I posted updates.
• 1:03:14
  Even with no videos, I wasn't stressed because all my YouTube friends are the
• 1:03:19
  kindest and most supportive people I know in the world.
• 1:03:22
  And the Cardinals have been at my feet are off and on today.
• 1:03:25
  As you guys know, I love my Cardinals out back.
• 1:03:29
  And then you can see Ali G came in and Mike with the follow up comments.
• 1:03:34
  So I'm going to give all three of you guys comment her of the week.
• 1:03:37
  And by the way, the screenshot you see at the other vidIQ extension
• 1:03:44
  special, that thing just shows up at the top of your community comment pages if
• 1:03:48
  you have it turned on. And it tells me that the
• 1:03:53
  sentiment of our community is overwhelmingly positive.
• 1:03:58
  65% of our comments, it tags as positive.
• 1:04:02
  29% are neutral, which just means you're talking about whatever you're talking
• 1:04:06
  about without being positive or negative.
• 1:04:07
  Only two comments. There was only two negative comments in the
• 1:04:14
  entire basically, I don't know how far back this goes.
• 1:04:18
  I don't know how long ago it was considering all this stuff.
• 1:04:22
  One criticism, one video request, four jokes,
• 1:04:26
  17 praise, 18 personal stories.
• 1:04:30
  So vidIQ is right. We got the coolest community in the world.
• 1:04:34
  We got the nicest group of folks.
• 1:04:39
  No, Devon, I don't think, not since you left we didn't get any more free
• 1:04:43
  memberships, not since you left.
• 1:04:46
  And the encourager of the week, he's probably sleeping right now.
• 1:04:51
  But that would be the encourager of the week is Peter Urbanowski over in
• 1:04:56
  Britain. So even though Richard, the chairman, stays up late and hangs out with
• 1:05:00
  us, Peter is probably, hopefully, sleeping away tonight here.
• 1:05:07
  That's a good point,
• 1:05:09
  grandpa Leo. If you want to get a lot of of comments in, you have to make them
• 1:05:13
  short. If you write really, really long comments,
• 1:05:16
  then if you write really long comments, there's going to be less comments.
• 1:05:20
  So I agree with that. I agree with you, Leo.
• 1:05:23
  So Peter's comment, you know, said let's see.
• 1:05:27
  People see the video, the content, they don't see what goes on behind the
• 1:05:31
  scenes, life away from YouTube, things that go into producing, scripting,
• 1:05:34
  recording, and editing a video.
• 1:05:36
  An eight-minute video can sometimes take weeks to put together.
• 1:05:40
  Boy, I hope not. Longer on occasions, building and maintaining a healthy
• 1:05:44
  community, and this is the part that really got me happy with what he said,
• 1:05:49
  building and maintaining a healthy community is a crucial part of being a
• 1:05:52
  YouTuber of any size. So, and Mike here, as you can see, agreed with him.
• 1:05:56
  So there you go, Peter, encourager of the week, absolutely 100% positive.
• 1:06:03
  And, you know, tonight's live stream and the video, that I made most recently
• 1:06:09
  here, those were just talking about YouTube burnout.
• 1:06:13
  You know, I did that after a conversation.
• 1:06:17
  I think it was Friday. I believe it was Friday.
• 1:06:21
  Boy, the days all kind of blur together, but somebody was really, really
• 1:06:25
  stressed out and emotional and I was talking to her and just, you know, I get
• 1:06:31
  it. I understand the, the, the health stuff, the financial stuff.
• 1:06:35
  It's all piling up and you're trying to juggle a channel and you're trying to,
• 1:06:40
  you know, trying to do live streams on a frequent basis and you're trying to
• 1:06:44
  keep videos coming out and trying to think of topics to talk about.
• 1:06:47
  It's a lot. It's a lot. And it starts to pile up and eventually the emotions
• 1:06:52
  just kind of break through the dams.
• 1:06:55
  We saw that with Catherine.
• 1:06:56
  Didn't see that in her live stream tonight.
• 1:06:58
  We got some emotion out of her and I really am proud of you, Catherine, for
• 1:07:03
  displaying that and being brave and showing who you really are like that.
• 1:07:08
  But, you know, I tried to talk about three ways to fix and try
• 1:07:16
  that. That goes with trying to do YouTube, trying to put your life on display,
• 1:07:20
  trying to be a public person while going through all this other stuff, too.
• 1:07:25
  And so hopefully those videos, you know, hopefully those videos helped you.
• 1:07:29
  You can see that
• 1:07:32
  springboard here said in this race, I'm the turtle against the hair.
• 1:07:36
  Eventually I'm blowing past that bad bunny.
• 1:07:38
  In the meantime, it's one video at a time with no stress put on myself to
• 1:07:43
  maintain a schedule other than the one that works for me.
• 1:07:47
  So you hear that, You'd be proud of your buddy's springboard here.
• 1:07:50
  Your man is a good guy right here.
• 1:07:52
  And that's some wisdom talking there.
• 1:07:54
  Don't put stress on yourself to maintain a schedule other than what you know you
• 1:07:58
  can do. I love that.
• 1:08:03
  Geraldine says I have spell check in three languages.
• 1:08:06
  Oh, my gravy. That's crazy.
• 1:08:12
  And I think that Brian says her laughing in the middle of that was great.
• 1:08:16
  I'm not positive, but I think you might be talking about Oma.
• 1:08:19
  I'm not sure what you were talking about.
• 1:08:21
  Her laughing in the middle of that.
• 1:08:22
  But be specific and tell me which one that one was about Brian.
• 1:08:26
  I'm not sure.
• 1:08:29
  Chairman says I have enough trouble trying to spell one language.
• 1:08:34
  Exactly.
• 1:08:35
  Amy here says I was there burnt out and frustrated.
• 1:08:38
  Oh, man. I dang near quit over it.
• 1:08:41
  Hard to believe that was almost two months ago.
• 1:08:43
  I think perhaps a little bit longer, but not sure.
• 1:08:46
  I am so glad I did not quit.
• 1:08:48
  I'm loving the journey now and having so much fun.
• 1:08:51
  Best of all, I found some awesome friends.
• 1:08:53
  You sure did did. And I'm glad you didn't quit too, Amy.
• 1:08:56
  Listen, this stress that gets to us on this YouTube thing, we got to shuffle it
• 1:09:02
  off. And remember, we're just people.
• 1:09:05
  We're just humans. We can only do.
• 1:09:07
  So much. If you got a lot going on in your life, take a break from YouTube.
• 1:09:11
  You don't have to put your whole life on TV for everybody else.
• 1:09:15
  You know, you don't have to.
• 1:09:21
  Grandpa says, I have a choice either chat or listen to Scott and I've got him
• 1:09:26
  muted. So he's not listening to the live stream.
• 1:09:28
  So he doesn't hear me talking about him right now, which maybe that's a good
• 1:09:31
  thing. I don't know.
• 1:09:35
  So, yeah, Amy, I I'm glad you didn't quit.
• 1:09:37
  Very good.
• 1:09:39
  Brian says I was beginning to burn out a bit towards the end of the challenge I
• 1:09:42
  did. But I'm looking at recent numbers of almost tripled numbers across the
• 1:09:47
  board. Although I'm still small, I'm thinking about another challenge for
• 1:09:51
  December. What's wrong with me?
• 1:09:53
  So Brian, have you got an idea of what that challenge might be yet?
• 1:09:56
  Have you decided you're going to do that?
• 1:09:58
  I don't know.
• 1:09:59
  And Leo Leo, the one blind grandpa says, thank you, Scott.
• 1:10:03
  Great video. You got to know we appreciate you.
• 1:10:05
  Thank you for doing what you're doing.
• 1:10:07
  Fred, of course, Discord good.
• 1:10:11
  And Mike, he says, I love Discord.
• 1:10:12
  Can't thanks Scott enough.
• 1:10:13
  I've been in other Discord.
• 1:10:14
  Not the same, not the same feeling to me.
• 1:10:17
  You're all family. So I agree with Steve here.
• 1:10:20
  We have a great community.
• 1:10:22
  We have a great group of people.
• 1:10:23
  You guys are the best. Take a look at some of these thumbnails I found just
• 1:10:28
  today. Right.
• 1:10:30
  This lady reinventing me at 60.
• 1:10:33
  She's signing off and quitting YouTube.
• 1:10:35
  She's done.
• 1:10:37
  Brian G. Johnson made a couple of videos and you can see from the topics he's
• 1:10:40
  talking about. People are discouraged.
• 1:10:44
  Imperfect on purpose, which is Renee, the crow bro.
• 1:10:49
  Why she was wrong about YouTube.
• 1:10:51
  She's got some revelations and some understanding about community and about the
• 1:10:56
  way that building a community works.
• 1:11:00
  As I said, Think Media up there.
• 1:11:04
  in the top right corner. He's got bad news about YouTube.
• 1:11:07
  That's his video about YouTube views being down.
• 1:11:10
  But I want to bring your attention to this lady in the bottom right here, Dr.
• 1:11:14
  Angela Myers. She made a video how to recognize the polymath, which is people
• 1:11:18
  who are interested in multiple things and kind of feed on the good feeling of
• 1:11:24
  learning something new all the time.
• 1:11:26
  Look at this bar graph. Okay.
• 1:11:28
  This bar graph or line graph of her video performance for 45 days.
• 1:11:33
  She had nothing, zero views.
• 1:11:36
  And if you hover over it, it tells you she really had like, I don't know, 20
• 1:11:40
  views, 50 views or or something for 45 days.
• 1:11:43
  And then all of a sudden the video just kicked off.
• 1:11:47
  You know, it's unexplainable.
• 1:11:48
  And who can understand why YouTube does what YouTube does, but she's got a
• 1:11:52
  million freaking views, guys.
• 1:11:55
  But for the first 45 days, she probably thought that video was a failure.
• 1:11:59
  How to recognize a polymath.
• 1:12:02
  And she probably thought she failed at making that video.
• 1:12:04
  And then one day, you never know when it's going to be your day.
• 1:12:07
  You never know when it's going to be one, you know, one of your videos that's
• 1:12:11
  sitting there in a old in the bucket.
• 1:12:14
  You know, I have a feeling.
• 1:12:17
  I have a feeling that there's a good chance that if one of your videos kicked
• 1:12:21
  off and went crazy and started getting thousands and thousands of views, you
• 1:12:26
  might not even notice it right away.
• 1:12:29
  Have you ever thought about that?
• 1:12:30
  Maybe you wouldn't even notice right away if one of your videos kicked off.
• 1:12:33
  If a video that you made two months ago, she did that 45 days ago.
• 1:12:38
  If your video you made two months ago went off and went crazy, you would
• 1:12:42
  probably only know it if you were watching your comments because I'm not looking
• 1:12:45
  at the performance of a two month old video.
• 1:12:47
  They don't even show up on my page when I look at stuff.
• 1:12:49
  You know, that's right C.L.
• 1:12:51
  You aver know when something will take flight.
• 1:12:53
  You don't know it. Grandpa says, I don't go to YouTube analytics anymore.
• 1:12:58
  Okay, that's fine. I do.
• 1:13:01
  I kind of enjoy data. I think data is beautiful, but I totally understand.
• 1:13:09
  C.L says Brian had Iris on maybe three times.
• 1:13:18
  Who's Iris? Is that reinventing me at 60 or somebody?
• 1:13:24
  Who's Iris?
• 1:13:27
  Oh, Iris is a cute little gray and white kitty.
• 1:13:30
  Oh, is that Brian G's kitty cat is Iris?
• 1:13:32
  I've seen his kitty cat before.
• 1:13:34
  I know who you're talking about.
• 1:13:35
  Yep, that's a nice kitty. Jumps up on his desk sometimes when he's talking.
• 1:13:41
  C.L says data is better than bacon.
• 1:13:44
  Now, let's hold on a second here.
• 1:13:46
  Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
• 1:13:48
  That's that's a crazy talk right there.
• 1:13:51
  Steve says Ohio Valley in prepping recently had a video get up to 54
• 1:13:57
  ,000 views. He has about 1,500 subscribers.
• 1:14:00
  Wow.
• 1:14:01
  That's cool.
• 1:14:03
  Steve Fuer tells us that. You know, the C-10 truck nerd that I like that always
• 1:14:10
  talks about pickup trucks.
• 1:14:11
  His videos usually have two or three thousand videos.
• 1:14:15
  And he did a video just talking about his garage and his so-called shop.
• 1:14:21
  His dude that thing went 50,000 views.
• 1:14:24
  And he's just a regular old small channel.
• 1:14:27
  I mean, don't get me wrong.
• 1:14:28
  I'd love to get a couple thousand views.
• 1:14:30
  But he's got a topic that's related to a specific object that people search for.
• 1:14:36
  His 6972.
• 1:14:39
  67 to 72 pickup truck range C-10 like in the picture behind me.
• 1:14:44
  Right there.
• 1:14:46
  So he he's got a more searchability channel.
• 1:14:49
  But boy, that garage and shop video poo 50 grand, 50 thousand.
• 1:14:54
  So that's pretty cool.
• 1:14:57
  Devin says people who want to get a big channels but no one wants people want to
• 1:15:01
  get big channels but no one wants to invest 80 or 100 hours per week in their
• 1:15:06
  channel. If that's your goal, start treating it like a job.
• 1:15:09
  That is what I did 18 months as I decided I'm going to treat it like a second
• 1:15:14
  job.
• 1:15:18
  That a second job deserves which is why I'm always in the analytics and I'm
• 1:15:22
  always in the comments and I'm always responding to comments and I'm always
• 1:15:26
  talking to AI, trying to improve things
• 1:15:28
  and
• 1:15:53
  let's let's call it a tie.
• 1:15:55
  We can say data data is as good as bacon.
• 1:15:59
  But man bacon is good. You guys know that.
• 1:16:02
  You know that. You know that.
• 1:16:08
  Let's see. I'm just looking at your comments here.
• 1:16:14
  What are you talking about Ali?
• 1:16:15
  I never had one before. It's not fun putting on a hot compress.
• 1:16:18
  What did you do? Did you get hurt?
• 1:16:20
  I must have missed it. I must have missed it.
• 1:16:25
  Oh, you got a sty. You didn't want to cook tonight.
• 1:16:28
  You got a sty. Bummer. Not cool.
• 1:16:33
  I was going to show you. You guys a little bit about this.
• 1:16:37
  I showed you on my website when I showed you that website that I built.
• 1:16:43
  Let's take a peek at that again.
• 1:16:46
  Down at the bottom of it, it's got all these projects that I've been working on
• 1:16:49
  all the time. All these little cards for these projects.
• 1:17:14
  But down here I've got a contact form.
• 1:17:19
  If you need anything, send a note.
• 1:17:20
  A place to put an
• 1:17:22
  email address, whatever, and the name of their channel.
• 1:17:25
  And this allows me to build a list of the audience outside of YouTube.
• 1:17:29
  If we ever need to reach out to you guys, like let's say if YouTube canceled my
• 1:17:32
  channel somehow, I could still keep you guys in touch and maybe we can get it
• 1:17:36
  together in Discord or something.
• 1:17:38
  I'm just wondering if that might be something I could build a form on my website
• 1:17:43
  instead and wondering if it's possible for someone to enter details in a form
• 1:17:48
  which can then be passed on somewhere that I collect instead of sending them to
• 1:17:52
  a Google form. Would it be best for the website form to populate the Google form
• 1:17:56
  and then the data goes to where it always went?
• 1:17:59
  Or would it be better to collect the data somewhere else now?
• 1:18:02
  This is me talking to AI. And I said, just looking for ideas, I'm not looking to
• 1:18:06
  implement that today. Well the AI came back and said, look, I'm going to write a
• 1:18:10
  script for you. Here's the script, came up with this code and said, basically,
• 1:18:14
  put this on your website wherever you want it and it's going to create the
• 1:18:18
  sticker form.. So you can see I've got a little section here blocked out which a
• 1:18:22
  kind of shows you the magic secret sauce that it came up with to send the code
• 1:18:28
  to my email. I'm going to hide that because we're in a livestream.
• 1:18:31
  But other than that, you can see what it did was that code that I just showed
• 1:18:35
  you generated this form for the stickers.
• 1:18:38
  And the nice thing is it still goes to the Google spreadsheet that the form was
• 1:18:43
  previously populating.
• 1:18:46
  So that's a really nice feature that it is still going to the same
• 1:18:53
  place I originally had all my data going.
• 1:18:56
  And it just created this pretty little form and said, okay, this is all you need
• 1:18:59
  to do. Take this chunk of code, throw it on your website.
• 1:19:02
  Upload it and you're done.
• 1:19:04
  So that's called vibe coding when you create code by just telling AI, I want
• 1:19:08
  this, that and the other. Just say this plain old basics, you know, specific
• 1:19:14
  English language or whatever language it works in any language and say, I want
• 1:19:19
  this, make this, and it creates the code.
• 1:19:21
  That's vibe coding coding, right?
• 1:19:23
  So I vibe coded this contact form in like a half hour and it built that pretty
• 1:19:29
  thing for me, you know? So very nice.
• 1:19:33
  It is getting late. It's 930 already.
• 1:19:35
  We should jump into our producers shout outs.
• 1:19:37
  I know everybody is dying to hear.
• 1:19:42
  I mean, read Jay's extremely lengthy,
• 1:19:45
  extremely lengthy shout out.
• 1:19:49
  So we will get that. But I just want to, before we jump into it, remember you're
• 1:19:52
  a consumer, not a producer.
• 1:19:54
  You guys are consumers.
• 1:19:58
  You're not a consumer. You are a producer.
• 1:20:02
  My mouth is getting tangly.
• 1:20:04
  I think I need some sweet tea
• 1:20:08
  and you guys are supporting the channel with value for value.
• 1:20:12
  And that entitles you to a shout out from me for whatever you want to say.
• 1:20:16
  A family business, your own YouTube channel, your favorite charity, new project.
• 1:20:20
  It's your call. Just let me know in discord or email, what would you like your
• 1:20:25
  shout out to be? And I will throw that at you.
• 1:20:28
  But first, before I do that, as promised, I'm going to play this cool video that
• 1:20:34
  I made that shows the evolution of my channel from when I first transformed it
• 1:20:40
  from a motorcycle channel into a nature outdoors, get out of the city's channel
• 1:20:45
  and then went through a pretty cool transformation,
• 1:20:49
  several different iterations to where we are now.
• 1:20:53
  Sally put together, Sally put together the
• 1:20:58
  music. I made the video. Let's watch that together, guys.
• 1:21:02
  I know some of you got a chance to see it, but I want to share this video with
• 1:21:05
  you and let me know in the comments as we watch it together.
• 1:21:09
  What you think?
• 1:21:48
  Some are healing, some are thriving, some just made it through the day.
• 1:21:52
  No judgment at this table.
• 1:21:54
  You're all right. You can stay off.
• 1:22:05
  It's almost pouring some wine.
• 1:22:07
  Somebody's still figuring, figuring it out.
• 1:22:09
  And that's just fine. We ain't here to impress.
• 1:22:12
  We just show up as we are.
• 1:22:14
  Pull up close, join the combo.
• 1:22:16
  You don't have to go.
• 1:22:25
  Just bring yourself as you are.
• 1:22:28
  Go ahead.
• 1:25:06
  It's pretty nice.
• 1:25:08
  You guys are making me tear up with your comments there.
• 1:25:10
  I'll tell you what.
• 1:25:12
  Yvonne, that's not that many motorcycles.
• 1:25:15
  By the way, that's only three motorcycles and two of them belong to my boy.
• 1:25:20
  Only one of them is mine. So,
• 1:25:23
  yeah, Brian.. mean,
• 1:25:27
  grandpa Leo, you cannot be coming down with anything, but you got a sore throat.
• 1:25:31
  That's because you're trying to talk so loud over my voice.
• 1:25:33
  That's why you got a sore throat.
• 1:25:36
  Not allowed, man. But maybe it's time for a cough drop or something.
• 1:25:41
  Might be time. Might be time.
• 1:25:44
  So let's jump back into our shout outs, guys.
• 1:25:47
  It's time to get these shout outs rocking.
• 1:25:51
  Just a reminder, it's value for value here.
• 1:25:53
  I think everybody here knows that.
• 1:25:54
  I probably don't need to remind you that.
• 1:25:57
  I agree, Devin. Never too many motorcycles exactly.
• 1:26:00
  And three is not too many.
• 1:26:02
  I only got one in there and it's for sale.
• 1:26:05
  So don't forget, if you get value from the channel, send back some value in
• 1:26:09
  whatever form it has worked to you.
• 1:26:11
  Your time, your talent, or your treasure.
• 1:26:13
  That includes subscribing, sharing this episode with somebody.
• 1:26:17
  You can go to donate.winningtheweek.org if you want to and return it monetarily.
• 1:26:22
  But I'm just as happy to see you guys hanging out in the live chat and hanging
• 1:26:25
  out in the comments and joining Discord and that's value for value.
• 1:26:29
  That is giving back your time, which honestly, if you think about it, time is
• 1:26:33
  much more valuable than money.
• 1:26:36
  If you could only keep one.
• 1:26:39
  Would you rather have time or would you rather have money?
• 1:26:41
  I think we'd all rather have a little bit more time.
• 1:26:46
  That's why we trade our time for money when you go to work, isn't it?
• 1:26:51
  So just a reminder, episode 70, you guys, knocked it out of part, 28 different
• 1:26:57
  people. You can see the whole list here from Amy and CL and Brian and Brenda and
• 1:27:02
  Mac movement. Jenny was here.
• 1:27:04
  Boy, what happened to Jenny tonight?
• 1:27:06
  I hope everything's okay. Fred,
• 1:27:10
  Tom, Richard, Yvonne, Allie, Devin, Mike, Ron,
• 1:27:16
  Jay, Catherine, Steve, Didier, Geopolitical.
• 1:27:20
  I don't think we know that fella in person.
• 1:27:23
  Leo, Granny was here, Springboard was here, Flight Quest, Army Medic was here,
• 1:27:29
  Mike again on a second account was here.
• 1:27:32
  Our friend ACR, which is Andrew over in Texas and Dana.
• 1:27:36
  So whether you stay for the whole stream last week or you just drop in for a
• 1:27:39
  little bit, you guys are extreme value to me and I appreciate every single one
• 1:27:44
  of you.
• 1:27:46
  So here's who has been a member on this channel.
• 1:27:49
  As you guys know, Lori was the first member who ever joined 11 months ago.
• 1:27:55
  And Perlman, Allie and Mike's Adventure Sparks nine months ago became members
• 1:28:01
  and the traveling wood comes and Otis eight months ago and then you
• 1:28:07
  can see the rest of the folks here six months, five months, four months, three
• 1:28:11
  months, two months all the way through.
• 1:28:13
  We have got
• 1:28:17
  ninety five. I forget. Ninety five I think is the number.
• 1:28:21
  Maybe it's 93. I forget exactly.
• 1:28:23
  Members, which is amazing.
• 1:28:26
  And you can see at the bottom right there, Mr.
• 1:28:28
  Steve became a member three days ago and somebody became a member tonight.
• 1:28:33
  But that's after I made this chart.
• 1:28:35
  So which one of you guys became a member earlier today?
• 1:28:37
  I can't remember. Not to mention all the we had like fifteen or twenty new
• 1:28:42
  members added because of all the free ones you handed out.
• 1:28:45
  So I'm going to have to make a much, much tighter, a much tighter eye
• 1:28:51
  chart. If I keep doing this membership list here, guys, because you've been
• 1:28:55
  doing it. Yeah, that's it, Brian.
• 1:28:57
  I'm celebrating. thirty minutes as a member.
• 1:28:59
  We should put Brian down there for thirty minutes on the chart.
• 1:29:02
  That would be funny.
• 1:29:07
  Unfortunately, more people get hurt after the hurricane passes.
• 1:29:11
  People playing in
• 1:29:13
  puddles and getting shocked by down power lines and stuff like that.
• 1:29:17
  Very dangerous.
• 1:29:20
  Yeah, I don't know, Brian.
• 1:29:21
  I don't know where Army Medic went.
• 1:29:22
  He's not here tonight. No Army Medic.
• 1:29:25
  b Oh wait, there he is. There he is.
• 1:29:27
  There he is. That's what you're saying.
• 1:29:29
  Well, there's the Army Army Medic.
• 1:29:30
  Hello there, one, four, three, nine, three, one, five.
• 1:29:34
  Good to see you, buddy. I must have missed your first point.
• 1:29:38
  Here he goes. This is his comment.
• 1:29:41
  First aid class. First aid kit.
• 1:29:43
  Know where, where the doctor, nurse, medic live in your area.
• 1:29:46
  Do not get hurt in the first silly place.
• 1:29:48
  I love when. You say that.
• 1:29:50
  If you suspect a neck or a back injury, do not move them.
• 1:29:54
  Army Medic. Homeschool. Homeschool Army Medic.
• 1:29:57
  Very good. Good to see you here again.
• 1:29:59
  It has been a while. So, thanks for dropping in.
• 1:30:04
  Instead of a slide, make a scrolling animation of all the names.
• 1:30:07
  That's a good idea. Maybe we can have all of the members as the animation
• 1:30:12
  scrolling across the bottom.
• 1:30:13
  I could do that. That would be easy.
• 1:30:15
  That'd be fun. Let's do that and we can make it looping so it keeps going
• 1:30:18
  forever. And then, if somebody joins in the middle, we add their names in, too,
• 1:30:23
  so they get added to the list.
• 1:30:24
  That's a good idea, CL. Will I remember that?
• 1:30:26
  I hope so. CL, can you try to remind me of that tomorrow?
• 1:30:30
  Drop a comment or something in some video somewhere, so I remember, because
• 1:30:34
  that's a darn good idea. And I want to do that.
• 1:30:37
  So, remind me tomorrow to make a scrolling members list.
• 1:30:41
  A little ticker across the bottom.
• 1:30:45
  So, as we look at our executive producers, the producers of the channel, if you
• 1:30:49
  think about it in Hollywood, a producer is the people who are responsible for
• 1:30:53
  helping getting a project off the ground and making sure it's funded.
• 1:30:56
  So, that's the folks who are in our channel here.
• 1:30:58
  That's the folks, that's you guys and every single one of you is a producer,
• 1:31:02
  because without you, this channel would be boring and there'd be no community.
• 1:31:08
  If you look at Lori's Soul Circle, she's been posting over at her school and she's
• 1:31:12
  been posting over a her sub stack all the time.
• 1:31:15
  And she's got her Lori's Soul Circle live every other Tuesday noon Eastern time.
• 1:31:22
  We don't get to see Lori in the chat very much anymore because she's not able to
• 1:31:26
  join us on Thursday. She does listen to the she does listen to the podcast as
• 1:31:32
  she goes for her runs usually on Thursdays or Friday mornings.
• 1:31:36
  So Lori, if you're listening, say hello everybody wave to Lori.
• 1:31:40
  Hello Lori.
• 1:31:42
  Lori, you're just going gonna have to trust me that everybody's waving at you.
• 1:31:47
  So CL Fantasy Waves, our executive producer and also our moderator, is a
• 1:31:54
  relaxing YouTube channel centered around traditional art creation.
• 1:31:57
  The channel features a soothing atmosphere where CL shows her process
• 1:32:01
  accompanied by relaxing music and the help she gets from her cats.
• 1:32:05
  And she's currently working on that Inktober challenge
• 1:32:12
  project collaborative. What would you call that?
• 1:32:15
  Inktober, a challenge for artists to draw some art for the
• 1:32:21
  theme of October. So be sure you go check out what she's put out.
• 1:32:26
  She's doing that one piece of art with the sword stabbing through.
• 1:32:29
  That's really cool and the kitty cats are helping.
• 1:32:31
  And now there's a kitty cat paw swatting
• 1:32:36
  cactus.
• 1:32:42
  And our missing legend tonight,
• 1:32:45
  live with Gen X values focused on the specific life experiences and challenges
• 1:32:49
  of Generation X Gen Explorer seems relevant to this demographic often addressing
• 1:32:55
  the unique stress faced by those in their fifties and beyond.
• 1:33:03
  Now I see Devin said hi Lori glad you made it.
• 1:33:06
  Did Lori drop in? I don't remember seeing Lori say.
• 1:33:08
  Oh, you're saying hi to her on the podcast.
• 1:33:10
  Very good. Okay. Sorry. Yes.
• 1:33:12
  One blind grandpa says hi Lori.
• 1:33:14
  Glad you made it. What Zookie?
• 1:33:19
  I know it's after dinnertime.
• 1:33:21
  As soon as I finish here, I'll be feeding you.
• 1:33:23
  I know. I'll feed you in a little while.
• 1:33:26
  Don't worry. You're not going to starve.
• 1:33:28
  Fred finds out. That's our next executive producer.
• 1:33:33
  Fred is hosting a Halloween murder mystery on October 30th.
• 1:33:36
  He needs one more person. We just need one more person to join.
• 1:33:40
  Choose your own group adventure.
• 1:33:42
  It's going to be run in a web browser as we learn.
• 1:33:45
  Take about two hours at most with Fred as the guide.
• 1:33:48
  And he's going to give each player their own character sheet.
• 1:33:51
  And the game will be semi-guided to prevent bogging down.
• 1:33:55
  So jump into our Discord. Jump into our Discord server and let Fred know you
• 1:34:00
  want to be the last available player.
• 1:34:26
  Who will be the last one to join us?
• 1:34:32
  YouTube channel focused on cam camper adventures.
• 1:34:35
  He's documenting his lifestyle changes including transitioning to living full
• 1:34:39
  time in his camper as he navigates new job opportunities in Bemidji
• 1:34:45
  and Treble.
• 1:34:47
  and Here's our buddy Springboard with his fancy new colors.
• 1:34:50
  That's the illustrious Dawn's husband.
• 1:34:55
  Potential snowbirds in Sanford someday
• 1:35:01
  Springboard breaks down the stories everyone's talking about.
• 1:35:05
  Challenges assumptions. refuses to treat any party or narrative as sacred.
• 1:35:09
  Honest disagreement is one of the fastest ways to learn something new.
• 1:35:13
  And America gets better when everyday people such as Springboard speak up
• 1:35:17
  instead of waiting for permission.
• 1:35:19
  If you guys are into politics go check out the Springboard.
• 1:35:24
  And our new buddy here pure Steve Feuer you guys know why I call him that right
• 1:35:28
  I asked him how to pronounce
• 1:35:39
  Feuer. His channel is about building a YouTube channel in public documenting
• 1:35:44
  YouTube growth and outdoor content along the way.
• 1:35:48
  Steve is aiming to pass 500 subscribers before Christmas and he just passed a
• 1:35:52
  major barrier right didn't you just bust through 350 or something this week man.
• 1:35:57
  So subscribe to follow his journey that Steve F U U I R Feuer.
• 1:36:04
  Nana's place if you're looking for a channel filled with faith encouragement
• 1:36:08
  Bible stories and real life experiences Nana's place is a wonderful place to

• 1:36:33
  community. Let's support Nana and help her channel grow.
• 1:36:38
  And it's her user title is Nana underscore of five.
• 1:36:44
  You got five grandkids? Is that why you're the Nana of five Yvonne?
• 1:36:48
  Yeah, Devin. I like that. Steve Fury like Nick Fury, right?
• 1:36:53
  I like that.
• 1:36:55
  The Traveling Woodcalm's YouTube channel features Brandon and Ashton and their
• 1:36:59
  journey together as a couple as they explore various Wisconsin locations.
• 1:37:03
  Try to find them. Now, I don't know if this information is old.
• 1:37:06
  When is that? It's the Michigan M26 YouTubers meetup.
• 1:37:09
  Has that passed already? Because they have not given me an update on their shout
• 1:37:13
  out in a long time. So that thing might be passed by now.
• 1:37:18
  Ah, the beloved and beautiful Ali G-G.
• 1:37:21
  Fishing with Ali-G. She focuses on the joys and techniques of bass fishing,
• 1:37:26
  sharing her excursions from the bank.
• 1:37:28
  Her channel blends educational tutorials with exciting adventures.
• 1:37:35
  Pam's Stories for Humans. One of my favorite channels to listen to.
• 1:37:39
  By the way, Pam, this could be a podcast so easily.
• 1:37:41
  Your channel videos could be a podcast in a heartbeat.
• 1:37:46
  Pam helps viewer slow down, be present, and prioritize real-life relationships
• 1:37:50
  and experiences over digital consumption.
• 1:37:54
  Stories for Humans is for those seeking a slower pace and a deeper look at the
• 1:37:57
  human experience in the AI-heavy world.
• 1:38:01
  So, if you think about it, Pam does these livestreams where she's either walking
• 1:38:05
  or driving and sometimes just thinking, sitting on the front yard, and those
• 1:38:09
  livestreams are the kinds of things that I think would make an excellent
• 1:38:13
  podcast. Since you're already doing the livestream anyway, it's a trivial matter
• 1:38:19
  to just take that video, convert, convert it into an MP3, and go over to RSS
• 1:38:24
  .com or libsyn.com or fireside.fm, create an
• 1:38:31
  account, name your podcast, and start uploading your MP3s like our buddy Porch
• 1:38:36
  Piper Tom did. It's not difficult, guys, if you can figure out YouTube, trust
• 1:38:41
  me, YouTube is way harder than podcasting.
• 1:38:44
  Podcast the podcasting is super easy compared to YouTube.
• 1:38:48
  If you're doing YouTube already, you're missing a chance to grow your audience
• 1:38:54
  by not. I podcasting. All right, folks, here we are.
• 1:38:59
  The moment everybody's been waiting for, the resident Rev Dot Secutioner wrote
• 1:39:03
  his own shout out, and you're looking at it right here.
• 1:39:09
  And if you think I'm going to read this entire thing, Jay, you have got to be
• 1:39:14
  out of your pure loving mind.
• 1:39:18
  So I'm going to say kudos to Jay, the resident Rev.
• 1:39:22
  Most High Secutioner, writer of exceedingly long shout outs and attributions,
• 1:39:29
  and I'm going to say you guys are free by all means to pause this sucker
• 1:39:34
  and read it because it's quite humorous.
• 1:39:37
  I read through every single word, and it is worth reading.
• 1:39:41
  It's just not something I'm going to read out loud.
• 1:39:45
  So, yes, CL, I'm going to have to agree with you on this one.
• 1:39:49
  Oh, my gravy. It is a novel here.
• 1:39:53
  So, Jay, thank you for writing War and Peace.
• 1:39:55
  I really appreciate it.
• 1:39:57
  And I love the sense of humor.
• 1:40:01
  But, you know, Jay's A.I. is named Wrench.
• 1:40:03
  And if you look at the bottom, it says P.S.I.
• 1:40:06
  has been instructed to stop writing.
• 1:40:08
  Wrench has acknowledged the instruction and.
• 1:40:10
  is now preparing a supplemental document explaining why stopping was never
• 1:40:14
  explicitly defined. P.P.P.S.
• 1:40:17
  This is probably my fault.
• 1:40:20
  So, good job, Jay. You won this round.
• 1:40:24
  I admit defeat. You read. Exactly.
• 1:40:28
  Brian read it in Discord when he first posted it.
• 1:40:31
  He wins the award for the most words submitted CL.
• 1:40:34
  Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, Jay, you get a Scooby Snack.
• 1:40:38
  You get you get all the awards.
• 1:40:40
  You get the award for the most prolific.
• 1:40:43
  You got the Isaac Asimov Award for a prolific shout outs.
• 1:40:48
  How about that?
• 1:40:50
  And Ali's like, now I'm leaving.
• 1:40:53
  Dana, the cookie mom makes baking and cooking videos and has does and has does.
• 1:40:58
  Who wrote this? Dana makes baking.
• 1:41:01
  So, all right, that's two errors in a row.
• 1:41:02
  If I see two errors on two pages in a row, I got to fix it.
• 1:41:05
  I am changing this from sectioner because I saw that title and ignored it.
• 1:41:11
  Secutioner,
• 1:41:13
  the most high executioner and it's probably auto-typed it.
• 1:41:17
  And then this thing here I got.
• 1:41:18
  But Dana makes baking and cooking videos and has the how long has it been broken
• 1:41:23
  like that? I don't know. And does occasional livestream.
• 1:41:28
  She's also great fun in our Discord server.
• 1:41:31
  Graciella Gracie. Everybody's favorite Australian takes us to explore Melbourne
• 1:41:37
  focusing on interesting and upbeat aspects of life when she's not sleeping
• 1:41:42
  because it's like the middle of the night over there while we're livestreaming,
• 1:41:45
  right?
• 1:41:47
  Jay says, I'll give you three Scooby Snacks if you read it.
• 1:41:50
  Nope.
• 1:41:52
  Takes more than that.
• 1:41:54
  And we have two shout outs for Fred because basically Fred's got his cool thing
• 1:41:59
  going on at the end of the month and he also has his channel I want everybody to
• 1:42:02
  check out. If something catches Fred's curiosity he's going to find out about

• 1:42:57

  You know Richard the Chairman 8 you said you seem to be stuck at 170 XP.
• 1:47:15
  Type more comments babe.
• 1:47:17
  And give me jump into Discord and give me a shout out for you Chairman so we can
• 1:47:21
  do a shout out for your channel.
• 1:47:24
  The Royal Anglican Order of the Buffalo.
• 1:47:27
  What you McCall it. What was it again?
• 1:47:29
  Remind me I forget the type it in the comments and I'm going to give a shout out
• 1:47:33
  for your Royal.
• 1:47:34
  I forget what it is man. Richard you're going to have to remind me.
• 1:47:39
  Put it in the chat and I'll give a shout out to that right now.
• 1:48:02
  Here's Devin right.
• 1:48:05
  Defying gravity. This is N.B.
• 1:48:07
  Rider One. Nova Scotia's volcanic basalt marvel.
• 1:48:11
  That was a cool video. And he's doing metal detecting, drone flying, hockey time
• 1:48:17
  with the family, vacations, trips, working in midnights, handing out free
• 1:48:22
  memberships every time he joins the chat.
• 1:48:24
  Devin is the man.
• 1:48:27
  So here it is the Chairman's Group that he does videos once in a blue moon about
• 1:48:33
  is the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes.
• 1:48:37
  That's it. The Royal Antediluvian.
• 1:48:39
  So Antediluvian. You guys know what that is?
• 1:48:41
  That is
• 1:48:43
  pre-flood. So something that happened for example before the the Great Flood of
• 1:48:48
  NOAA would be called Antediluvian.
• 1:48:52
  Ante means before and the Deluvian refers to a flood.
• 1:48:56
  Isn't that right Richard? I think I got that right.
• 1:49:01
  Let's see here. One blind grandpa.
• 1:49:03
  Our friend Leo
• 1:49:05
  who's got me muted and probably can't even hear me talking about his channel but
• 1:49:09
  that's okay. He had a great video where he went out to the beach and
• 1:49:14
  unfortunately he was swarmed with mosquitoes.
• 1:49:17
  So he didn't spend that much time over there but that was the beach was at high
• 1:49:21
  tide anyway so they didn't get to go walking on the sand and enjoying the beach
• 1:49:25
  that much because it was high tide.
• 1:49:27
  Check out one blind grandpa.
• 1:49:33
  So that's it. We did it. We made it.
• 1:49:34
  We got through
• 1:49:38
  the producer shout outs. There you go guys.
• 1:49:40
  Thank you every single one of you.
• 1:49:43
  I see you guys are all talking about how many XPs you have.
• 1:49:46
  Hey I hate to tell you this but we have
• 1:49:50
  962 comments and there's no way we can end the live stream that close to a
• 1:49:54
  thousand without doing it guys.
• 1:49:57
  We got to do the thing. We got to get here.
• 1:49:59
  I'm going to type a comment and I don't have any comments here so I'm just going
• 1:50:03
  to say
• 1:50:05
  let me put a comment in the chat because I'm going to help participate.
• 1:50:10
  We got 966. We got to rock that thing on up.
• 1:50:13
  We're only like 35 away from a thousand my gravy.
• 1:50:18
  So the the group goes back to the 1820s but antediluvian does refer to
• 1:50:24
  pre-flood but you know that makes sense because it's the royal order the royal
• 1:50:30
  antediluvian order of buffaloes but it could refer to antediluvian
• 1:50:36
  buffaloes not an antediluvian order right because just because there's an
• 1:50:42
  adjective before a noun doesn't mean that it's necessarily the antecedent
• 1:50:48
  adjective referring to the noun that's immediately following.
• 1:50:52
  It could be the no I'm just making this up but I'm really not convincing myself.
• 1:50:57
  I don't think it talks about antediluvian buffaloes.
• 1:51:00
  It's antediluvian order. I can't win that one but that's okay but it goes back
• 1:51:05
  to the 1800s. That's pretty cool though.
• 1:51:07
  1820s is a darn long time.
• 1:51:09
  Especially in my country. I know in your country 1820s is just yesterday but boy
• 1:51:15
  oh boy 1820s that's a long time ago around here.
• 1:51:20
  Think about this my state Florida my state Florida where I live the city
• 1:51:26
  was founded in the
• 1:51:29
  1960s.
• 1:51:32
  My city was founded when the Beatles were playing dude and Fort Lauderdale was
• 1:51:37
  founded only a hundred years ago.
• 1:51:39
  It's almost nothing 1911 so 110 years ago.
• 1:51:45
  Yeah your 1820s is impressive to us.
• 1:51:49
  We are oh you guys blasted right through it so fast I couldn't even see.
• 1:51:53
  We're already at 1022 which means I have no idea.
• 1:51:57
  I have no idea which one of you guys got the number.
• 1:52:00
  I see you're counting the numbers and pounding it out but oh my gravy.
• 1:52:04
  You guys we're at a thousand and thirty comments already.
• 1:52:07
  I can't keep up. I was hoping I would be able to see it go roll over a thousand
• 1:52:12
  kind of like watching your odometer go over.
• 1:52:14
  But Steve says can I borrow the producer shout out for my channel live stream.
• 1:52:21
  Hey bud listen I borrowed it.
• 1:52:23
  I took it off of no agenda.
• 1:52:25
  The no agenda podcast does shout outs to their producers.
• 1:52:30
  So everything is borrowed.
• 1:52:31
  There's nothing new under the sun.
• 1:52:33
  You you don't need my permission to do it because I borrowed it from no agenda
• 1:52:37
  and no agenda probably borrowed it from somebody else.
• 1:52:40
  No agenda is ending by the way.
• 1:52:42
  Terrible news for me. It's my favorite podcast.
• 1:52:45
  Every time I find a podcast dude dies and they end the podcast.
• 1:52:51
  Lost my Scott Adams podcast because he died and then found no agenda and John C.
• 1:52:56
  Dvorak died. So you guys don't want me following your podcast.
• 1:53:00
  Porch Piper don't worry I'll unsubscribe so you'll feel better.
• 1:53:04
  Fred says it was me.
• 1:53:07
  Okay Fred if you say so. Wow Richard is that true?
• 1:53:11
  Your great granddad was a member in
• 1:53:37
  1925 so it's not just something you found right
• 1:53:43
  now.
• 1:53:46
  I'm sorry.
• 1:53:51
  I see a car pulling up. Maybe my boy Logan is home.
• 1:53:57
  Hey there Oka. Oka says I can't usually stay up to watch the live streams
• 1:54:00
  because of school. But this is great.
• 1:54:02
  Lucky for me I'm having a free day.
• 1:54:04
  That's wonderful. I'm so glad you're able to hang out.
• 1:54:06
  You need to talk more in the chat so we know you're here though.
• 1:54:11
  Yeah that's true. YouTube doesn't like anything that appears to be spamming or
• 1:54:16
  useless comments. We always want to make sure we're saying something of some
• 1:54:19
  sort of you know we don't want to just count new needlessly.
• 1:54:23
  We want to be saying something useful useful something helpful.
• 1:54:26
  Brenda says I'll add another comment and say this group means so much to me.
• 1:54:30
  Well you mean so much to this group Brenda.
• 1:54:32
  The kindness really touches my heart.
• 1:54:34
  She says listen Brenda you are a very very important.
• 1:54:38
  Even though you're new to the group you are encouraging people.
• 1:54:41
  It's funny you say you're encouraged and that encourages people.
• 1:54:45
  Isn't that funny how that works.
• 1:54:46
  You tell the group that it means a lot to you and that actually encourages the
• 1:54:52
  group because everybody believes that they're doing good in the world by lifting
• 1:54:56
  you up you know.
• 1:54:58
  Hey everybody Brenda says I should have another video out by the weekend Lord
• 1:55:02
  Will and I'm going to let you know what happened to my channel after a two month
• 1:55:06
  break. Oh boy don't give any spoilers here.
• 1:55:09
  Don't tell us don't even give us a hint.
• 1:55:11
  I don't want any spoilers.
• 1:55:12
  I want to see when we see.
• 1:55:15
  Well I don't know if that's my boy pulling up or not but it's 10 0 1 which means
• 1:55:21
  two hours plus the pre-show.
• 1:55:23
  So I think that's enough fun for tonight everybody.
• 1:55:27
  Thank you all for hanging out with me.
• 1:55:28
  Thank you for chilling and for getting us at 1,054 comments.
• 1:55:33
  Unbelievable. If you guys want to stay talking for a little bit after the live
• 1:55:38
  stream is over you're willing and able
• 1:56:04
  and happy and free to do that.
• 1:56:08
  YouTube lets you hang out for a couple of minutes
• 1:56:32
  and we'll
• 1:56:33
  see you again
• 1:56:40
  soon. Hey Fred one time everybody.
• 1:56:41
  Fred if you got your headphones coming here I come bud.
• 1:56:45
  He's jamming out. He's jamming out.
• 1:56:47
  What are you doing man?
• 1:56:50
  What are you doing? What are you listening to?
• 1:56:58
  What are you listening to?
• 1:57:08
  I'll drink a jar of pickle juice if I am.
• 1:57:14
  I'm going to say you're listening to what's that one band of electronic music
• 1:57:19
  where the guys wear the helmets?
• 1:57:23
  I forget that's who you're listening to.
• 1:57:25
  Who are you really listening to?
• 1:57:27
  I was listening to some A.I.
• 1:57:29
  music. Some funky rap music that I had made about from my channel.
• 1:57:34
  Of course you were. Yeah. Of course you were.
• 1:57:37
  All right.
• 1:57:39
  All right buddy well I'm going to tell you goodnight and then I'm going to tell
• 1:57:41
  the stream goodnight. Adios.
• 1:57:45
  Adios. I'll see you later.
• 1:57:50
  There's Fred and there's me telling you guys goodnight.
• 1:57:54
  Thanks for hanging out tonight.
• 1:57:55
  It's been a good time.
• 1:57:57
  And anything in the chat I need to see everybody saying goodnight to everybody
• 1:58:02
  which is great.
• 1:58:04
  Yeah. And Devin is way behind on the chat.
• 1:58:07
  That's okay. Fred's be popping the Scott's new song.
• 1:58:10
  No apparently he's got something.
• 1:58:11
  What was the name of that band guys?
• 1:58:13
  Who was that band I'm thinking of that did like I'm up all night to get funky.
• 1:58:17
  The band with the
• 1:58:19
  electronic music and they always wore the helmets.
• 1:58:21
  You couldn't see their face.
• 1:58:23
  Steve says if y'all get a chance to go live on Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
• 1:58:27
  Eastern.
• 1:58:30
  And Devin's caught up all the way to the chatter boy.
• 1:58:33
  You shout out. That's funny.
• 1:58:36
  Wait a minute. What do you mean?
• 1:58:38
  Hey Tyler how's it going? Good glad to see you.
• 1:58:40
  What do you mean? R.I.P. John Anderson didn't he die like a long time ago?
• 1:58:45
  The country artist John Anderson?
• 1:58:48
  C.L. says I have three door signs from my office that tells people my
• 1:58:52
  availability. That's a good idea.
• 1:58:54
  Yeah. I agree. C.L.T. 10 o'clock eastern is pretty late.
• 1:59:00
  All right. We got to see what this man's talking about with John Anderson.
• 1:59:03
  Let's see. You talking about the music singer John Anderson?
• 1:59:06
  Let's go over here and search Google's.
• 1:59:09
  John Anderson, American singer.
• 1:59:13
  He died October 21, 2026. Wow.
• 1:59:17
  You're right.
• 1:59:18
  Now that's the fellow that's saying Seminole Wind, isn't it?
• 1:59:23
  And
• 1:59:25
  he's saying, did he sing? Oh, I'm thinking of Joe Diffie.
• 1:59:30
  Joe Diffie saying, didn't Joe Diffie sing crazy about a pickup man or something
• 1:59:35
  like that? He died in a, oh, he's born in Apopka.
• 1:59:39
  That's right by me, Tyler.
• 1:59:40
  He's right down here where all the alligators are in Apopka.
• 1:59:43
  Well, R.I.P. John Anderson, he was definitely one of the legends.
• 1:59:47
  Now, you send us off on a down note here, Tyler.
• 1:59:51
  You can't drop in at the end of two hours and say R.I.P.
• 1:59:54
  to somebody. But that fellow there was a good singer.
• 1:59:57
  He was a good singer man. So don't do that, Tyler.
• 2:00:01
  Don't come in here and drop me with a negativity like that, bud.
• 2:00:04
  At the end of a
• 2:00:09
  stream Friday, I have something special and interesting.
• 2:00:12
  Yeah. Interesting, R.I.P. Yeah.
• 2:00:14
  That's the ticket.
• 2:00:17
  He's just a swing and that's right.
• 2:00:19
  I remember that song. Very cool.
• 2:00:22
  Daft Punk, thank you, Steve.
• 2:00:23
  Man, I was going to bother me all night.
• 2:00:25
  That's who I was trying to think of.
• 2:00:26
  All right. On that note, 10,083 comments in.

  It's been a really good time.
