• 0:01
  Welcome to the Winning the Week livestream and podcast.
• 0:05
  We are promoting positivity and a healthy, real optimism.
• 0:10
  Let's find hope, healing and well-being together.
• 0:14
  Don't forget, you're always welcome here at the Cool Kids Table.
• 0:17
  And I encourage you to mention the Cool Kids Table in your own videos,
• 0:21
  livestreams, podcasts, social media posts.
• 0:23
  So be sure to spread the word.
• 0:27
  And don't forget, I saved you a seat over here.
• 0:29
  If you forgot your lunch money, I got...

  I forgot your lunch money, I've got my french fries here, I'll share those with
• 0:35
  you too. So tonight we're going to talk about the commenter and the encourager
• 0:41
  of the week and I do want to talk about memberships and whether or not we're
• 0:46
  ending on this channel.
• 0:48
  I think I've got some important reasons and interesting things to talk about
• 0:52
  with that. So I'm going to rely on those of you who are YouTubers, I want to
• 0:55
  hear your feedback and stuff like that.
• 0:57
  And we'll be talking about patience.
• 1:00
  Let's just jump into the chat see who's here tonight Let's see we have I
• 1:06
  saw all the pre-doll of the pre-show tonight We had Mike we had em we had
• 1:12
  Catherine Amy jumped in here granny showed up early CL our beloved moderator is
• 1:19
  here making sure that if anybody starts spamming the chat Or typing naughty
• 1:23
  words she'll deal with them other than that if people are just being silly or
• 1:27
  annoying don't ban them don't be like Tyler Tyler wants to ban everybody he gets
• 1:31
  a chance and everybody just for saying hello and let's see who else is
• 1:38
  here oh Warren walked in while we were starting the day they're right on time
• 1:42
  being fashionably on time warren the optimistic ups saying hi everybody
• 1:49
  so and he recognized CL's icon And Mr.
• 1:54
  Glenn is in the house.
• 1:56
  How you doing, Pearlman? Very good to see you, buddy.
• 2:00
  And let's see. I think we should probably not forget to do our simultaneous sip
• 2:06
  before everybody grab yourself your favorite beverage, what you like to do
• 2:11
  nearby and pull it. And we will in honor of the late,
• 2:23
  a tankard,
• 2:26
  chalice or stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of a vessel of a kind.
• 2:31
  Fill it with your favorite liquid.
• 2:33
  I have publix, diet,
• 2:37
  sweet, brewed tea.
• 2:40
  And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.
• 2:44
  The sis is called a sinus sip and it starts now.
• 2:50
  Go.
• 2:52
  That is the good stuff.
• 2:57
  So, why don't we jump right into the encourager and commenter of the week.
• 3:04
  See, I told you she was gonna wake up.
• 3:06
  Hello, my dear. How are you?
• 3:09
  You wanna say hi to the peeps?
• 3:12
  Zuki says hi, and then she says hi, which you can, that's fine.
• 3:17
  You can get the tail out of my face.
• 3:21
  So I've been the encourager and commenter of the week.
• 3:25
  Pretty late in the podcast and I want to start doing it earlier so that
• 3:28
  everybody gets a chance to see it.
• 3:30
  A lot of people have to go early especially if we run on and on and on.
• 3:34
  Hi Daniel, good to see you buddy, glad you made it.
• 3:37
  I was enjoying your livestream a couple hours ago, very nice job.
• 3:41
  So the commenter and commenter of the week, who do we have?
• 3:44
  Do you guys have any guesses?
• 3:46
  Hey Pam, good to see ya. I'm afraid Pam you're probably not going to get a 4
• 3:51
  time hat trick and get 4. commenters of the week in a row, but you never know
• 3:56
  you never know So Suzuki everybody's saying hi to you, but be careful Pam is
• 4:02
  here now. And your train engineer Pam is here So the commenter of the week the
• 4:07
  one Iort I picked out is flight were I actually had a really nice music related
• 4:12
  back-and-forth chat with flight quest about musical modes
• 4:41
  and
• 4:48
  There was a ton of great comments.
• 4:51
  There was a lot of really encouraging comments on the impatience video That came
• 4:56
  out two days ago, and I want to thank every single one of you who posted a
• 5:00
  comment on there I read every single comment.
• 5:03
  I try to reply to every single comment I wish that I could read every single one
• 5:09
  out loud here but thank you to all of you who left these encouraging words on
• 5:15
  the the video about trying to become more patient and I guess this counts for
• 5:20
  you Pam. This does make four in a row for you on this screen here.
• 5:25
  So I'll point that out and then also the encourager of the week.
• 5:30
  I talk about this last week but Rob really kicked off his put yourself out there
• 5:35
  30 day challenge on Monday with his, sorry on Tuesday, his live stream
• 5:41
  yesterday. His regularly scheduled Tuesday livestream was the kickoff for the
• 5:46
  put yourself out there 30 day challenge.
• 5:49
  It's a free 30 day challenge to help people finally get on camera and publish
• 5:54
  their first video.
• 6:07
  His idea is to encourage people in four weeks or basically in one month to
• 6:12
  encourage people to make three videos with a community of people cheering
• 6:16
  everybody on. It kicked off on July 7th and then there's going to be follow
• 6:23
  -up liveKi-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T
• 6:28
  -A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S- T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A
• 6:33
  -S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-A-S- T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T-A-S-T dot-com
• 6:39
  website or his or his youtube channel but I wanted to make their
• 6:44
  first
• 6:46
  ever
• 6:56
  video this month so how encouraging than that Rob's always encouraging and he's
• 7:02
  always optimistic but this idea he has to encourage a few hundred people to make
• 7:07
  their first video all in the same month.
• 7:09
  It's pretty awesome. And the time is usually a pretty slow time for YouTube.
• 7:14
  You guys who have channels know that the views kind of dwindled this time of
• 7:20
  year. And, you know, this is a great idea for Rob to encourage other people to
• 7:25
  get
• 7:29
  started now because it's only going to pick up and get busier.
• 7:36
  as the year goes on if they continue to make videos, right?
• 7:41
  So, that said, let's jump into the chat and see what I missed.
• 7:45
  If anybody else has joined that I haven't noticed in here,
• 7:50
  I see that, let's see, I saw Pam and Daniel had just joined.
• 7:57
  Congrats to FlightQuest for, and Pam says she surrenders her
• 8:02
  commenter of the week crown, but just for this week, right?
• 8:06
  Hey, Jen good to see you I'm here but I'm in the past I'll be there soon listen
• 8:10
  and a half speed so if I talk really fast right now then when you're listening
• 8:14
  to me a one and a half speed I wonder if I sounds like when I talk this the
• 8:16
  company's crazy and I talk slowly
• 8:35
  I bet it probably makes meig So that's
• 8:41
  enough.
• 8:44
  I'll I'll
• 9:02
  Pam you can't say you're making dinner and not tell us what you're making for
• 9:06
  dinner So please come back to the chat and tell us what we're having for dinner
• 9:11
  tonight I'm already full from CL's apple pie so I really don't have room for
• 9:17
  another one but if you see else as Rob is cool, but we all
• 9:23
  know that was peanuts idea That's a good point that was that was peanuts idea
• 9:28
  that that was cool Yeah, and Amy says it's 300 something.
• 9:33
  Wow, that's fantastic. Awesome.
• 9:36
  I don't think even the power of Rob would convince CL to do a face video.
• 9:42
  But he's asking people to do a video with their face in it.
• 9:46
  But I don't think even the power of Rob begging would get CL to do a face video.
• 9:53
  I think it's great that he's encouraging people who have never made a video at
• 9:57
  all to do that.
• 10:00
  Amy says you crack and let's see here Jenna saying hi to everybody and Debbie
• 10:06
  Sue says hi to everybody which is awesome.
• 10:09
  So just a quick reminder where I talked about this a little
• 10:15
  bit
• 10:24
  about discord and those of you who are already in discord know how much fun
• 10:29
  we're having what a great time it is.
• 10:31
  It's just a chat room. It's nothing fancy.
• 10:34
  It's just you can do it on a web browser or you can install the app.
• 10:39
  But it's a really fun place where we're having a good time.
• 10:42
  If you've never used Discord, it's very simple.
• 10:45
  There's a link in the description of my videos.
• 10:48
  You click that link and then just, you know, you create an account by saying
• 10:52
  here's what my name's going to be.
• 10:53
  and then hop in there I'll get a notification that you've joined and I have
• 10:58
  all
• 10:58
  the permissions so all of the sub forums I do that just in case some troll jumps
• 11:03
  in there and tries to break the place or something but we're having a real ball
• 11:07
  it's been it's been really cool and I'm really enjoying it but I wish some of
• 11:13
  you folks who are holding back and resisting I wish you would have much fun
• 11:18
  in
• 11:19
  there it's a it's a great time
• 11:22
  So let's see here what else am I missing in the chat Pam's we're having Greek
• 11:28
  chicken on the barbecue baby potatoes with butter in foil and seared Brussels
• 11:32
  sprouts with balsamic vinegar and Parmesan Wow That all sounds amazing
• 11:39
  I like guess better than Brussels sprouts personally, but you know, I'm not the
• 11:45
  cook So you you got to make what you think is Greek chicken now what makes
• 11:50
  chicken Greek?
• 11:52
  Know what chicken is on the barbecue.
• 11:54
  I know what BABE of potatoes are butter and foil I know it all that's it not
• 11:58
  Greek chicken. What makes chicken Greek?
• 12:00
  How how do you do Greek chicken?
• 12:04
  Yeah, that's a good point Mike It's very easy to do discord on your phone But I
• 12:08
  will give you guys a pro tip if you decide to go with discord on the app on your
• 12:13
  phone You should probably turn off notifications because
• 12:20
  It'll blow up your phone and you'll get so many notifications.
• 12:24
  Sally was in there for a while and she left the server because the notifications
• 12:27
  were too much. And you can turn off notifications on your phone in the
• 12:32
  notification settings. The chat and talk going on in
• 12:39
  multiple channels on different topics like we have a section about food and we
• 12:42
  have a section about YouTube and we have a section about...
• 12:45
  this, that, the other and different projects we're working on.
• 12:48
  So you definitely want to turn off notifications and just look at it when you
• 12:52
  think about it. Go in every once in a while.
• 12:55
  See what you've been missing.
• 12:58
  Say hi to people. It's not the kind of thing where you want to have a ton.
• 13:03
  You never, you know, we have a ton of notifications.
• 13:05
  It'll literally blow up your phones too much.
• 13:08
  Jen says, you never sound normal.
• 13:10
  Scott, that's part of your, that's my secret cap.
• 13:13
  I'm always.
• 13:15
  Let's see, and Warren says, did you check out your shout out?
• 13:20
  Oh, did you do a shout out out your channel?
• 13:23
  We're gonna have to go check it out.
• 13:24
  Did you do a 8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9 shout out, Warren?
• 13:29
  I'm gonna have to go check it out.
• 13:30
  And of course, Mike, the contrarian says, I like all the notifications,
• 13:35
  especially if it tells me when everybody uploads something.
• 13:37
  That is the nice thing. I've got that bot that tells you every time one of our
• 13:43
  videos comes out. because YouTube's really bad at notifying people and doing
• 13:47
  notifications so I have a bot in there to tell us and that is kind of nice.
• 13:52
  Well hello there strawberries and cream cookie lady.
• 13:57
  I posted a picture of strawberries and cream in discord and made everybody
• 14:02
  which is uh very nice and M says she wisely turned off the
• 14:09
  notifications. Yeah, I have notifications off on my my thing blow that thing a
• 14:14
  thousand times a day.
• 14:15
  I just go look at it once in a while.
• 14:17
  Well, hello,
• 14:19
  oh, time no see.
• 14:21
  Thank you for having me on your live stream today.
• 14:23
  I had so much fun. You have a feeling that even if we weren't doing a live
• 14:26
  stream, you and me could just sit and chat for quite a while.
• 14:31
  We're kind of kind of like I said on the thing, we're kind of birds of a
• 14:35
  feather. We have a lot in common.
• 14:36
  We've had a lot of the same hobbies over the years and kind of the non-stop
• 14:41
  stuff. So I really enjoyed hanging out with you today.
• 14:44
  But more than that, I'm grateful for you giving me a chance to share what
• 14:50
  I, what I, about my channel and what's been happening with me in YouTube before
• 14:56
  the past year. It's nice to be able to reach a new pile of friends, you know.
• 15:01
  Hello there, Kim, glad to see you hanging out here.
• 15:06
  And Pam says, I literally just marinated chicken in Greek dressing and oregano.
• 15:11
  Okay, well, that works. That makes Greek chicken.
• 15:17
  I don't even know if I know what Greek tastes tastes like.
• 15:20
  I mean I know what it is. I think the only dressing I ever the ranch.
• 15:25
  I should try some Greek chicken on chicken.
• 15:29
  Like you just say, so some oregano in there.
• 15:32
  I'll have to do that. I bought a new grill this year so I've been enjoying on
• 15:37
  my, you know grilling on my new grill but mostly I've been doing beef related.
• 15:42
  You should try some chicken products out there once in a while.
• 15:46
  You've inspired me you train engineer lady you.
• 16:19
  Pam also says the live stream with the Otis was
• 16:27
  the
• 17:08
  and
• 17:12
  I kind of am going to rely a little bit.
• 17:15
  I need your help and I need your feedback and tell me if I'm on to something or
• 17:19
  if I'm crazy with this topic.
• 17:23
  But I want to talk about memberships.
• 17:24
  So when you reach a certain point you have a certain number of subscribers and a
• 17:29
  certain number of views etc.
• 17:40
  and I did turn on when it became available and I set
• 17:46
  99 cents And I started creating a
• 17:52
  member's-only video that if somebody becomes a 99 cent a month,
• 17:59
  they can see once or twice a month.
• 18:01
  And sometimes in the community post section, I post members-only community
• 18:06
  posts
• 18:07
  as well.
• 18:09
  And the other thing that people can
• 18:13
  You guys have seen this and many of you have done this by five memberships or 10
• 18:18
  memberships at 99 cents apiece.
• 18:42
  You know, Catherine wants to know why did you say do thumbs down?
• 18:46
  And as, uh, as CL pointed out here, YouTube doesn't really care if it's thumbs
• 18:50
  up or thumbs down. It just tracks engagement.
• 18:54
  And it does notice the thumbs up or the thumbs down, but it doesn't care if it
• 18:59
  was thumbs up or if it was thumbs down.
• 19:01
  I don't think it really cares that you had a bunch of thumbs downs.
• 19:04
  And I see we're down to six, which is great.
• 19:07
  Six, six need to hit a thumbs down and get that thing.
• 19:10
  To zero so we can get into the negatives because I think YouTube only cares that
• 19:14
  you're getting some kind of feedback for positive or negative They don't care.
• 19:17
  So I just jokingly say let's do the thumbs down thing.
• 19:20
  It's more fun and it makes Pam feel bad So I like to like to do that.
• 19:26
  So here's my idea on memberships.
• 19:28
  Here's what I'm thinking I feel like sometimes they have this scuzzy mercenary
• 19:34
  feels and Hidden content putting things behind a paywall So if I've got members
• 19:39
  only videos and members only posts I kind of get this sort of scuzzy feeling
• 19:44
  that I'm hiding content from you know from viewers Especially
• 19:51
  since I promote myself as being a value channel and if you know We've talked
• 19:56
  about value for value a million times here, which is basically I ask you to
• 20:00
  decide if you're getting any value Then you decide how much value you think you
• 20:06
  got and I just give you the whole show, right?
• 20:10
  I just give you the whole shebang Every video post every live-stream I just give
• 20:16
  you the whole show, right?
• 20:19
  I just give you the whole show bang Every video post every live stream I just
• 20:24
  give you the whole show, right?
• 20:28
  I just give you the whole show, right?
• 20:31
  I just give you the show, right?
• 20:32
  I just give you the whole show, right?
• 20:34
  I just give you the
• 20:59
  that funny
• 21:03
  The other thing is, do memberships dissuade people from subscribing?
• 21:08
  So if you stumble across my channel for the first time and you see that they're
• 21:14
  videos, but you also memberships, does that dissuade people
• 21:20
  from being a subscriber?
• 21:23
  I kind of think maybe not.
• 21:25
  People are probably going to subscribe based on the content again.
• 21:29
  Not so much. Based on, oh, this guy has members and he's got members only
• 21:35
  content that doesn't dissuade people from being
• 21:41
  subscribers. But I am curious to hear your feedback on that.
• 21:44
  Those of you guys got channels and those of you who are regular and habitual
• 21:49
  YouTubers,
• 21:51
  it probably doesn't dissuade you from subscribing if they've got members only
• 21:57
  content, right? You just subscribe when you want to see more of it.
• 22:03
  Now, that said,
• 22:05
  Do memberships dissuade donations?
• 22:08
  And I think it might.
• 22:11
  You know, my value for value model, like I said, is I provide everything and
• 22:16
  then if you think you got any value, I ask you to go to donations
• 22:19
  .stopwinningtheweek.org which basically takes you to the Buy Me a Coffee website
• 22:24
  and you decide if you want to tip or some treasure
• 22:30
  my way you decide I want to give this guy 50 cents I want to give
• 22:35
  I want to do a five dollar.
• 22:36
  I want to give up thousand dollars.
• 22:38
  Nobody's ever done that for some reason.
• 22:41
  But whatever you think, whatever you think the value you got out of a particular
• 22:45
  video or a live stream is, you decide, hey, or perhaps one of the podcast, maybe
• 22:51
  you're listening on the podcast.
• 22:53
  I enjoy this podcast. I want to give this guy some Starbucks.
• 22:57
  I go to public. So if you want to buy me a gallon of.
• 23:04
  Publix diet sweet tea you go to donate winning the week org
• 23:10
  and Decide you're gonna give me three four dollars whatever or a thousand
• 23:14
  dollars whatever, you know But the thing is if you see if you see somebody's got
• 23:19
  40 members at 99 cents apiece you're thinking to man this guy's getting 40
• 23:23
  bucks
• 23:23
  a month already He doesn't need my three dollars or two dollars so many people
• 23:29
  so so many of you have sprung for memberships and bought memberships at 5,
• 23:35
  10,
• 23:36
  20 memberships at a time that I've gone from 40 memberships to 60
• 23:42
  members. There were 60 members for one month at one time.
• 23:47
  So I kind of think that it's likely or, you know, at least possible, but
• 23:53
  probably likely that somebody was maybe thinking, I want to give this guy a tip,
• 24:00
  but I see he's already got 60 members so he's already making $60 which isn't
• 24:05
  really true because YouTube you know YouTube keeps nearly half of the
• 24:09
  membership
• 24:10
  money which is probably another reason I'm not super super memberships anymore
• 24:15
  but I think that there's a good chance that memberships probably dissuade people
• 24:20
  from leaving a tip so I'm really leaning towards turning off the
• 24:26
  memberships
• 24:50
  and you know if they want to throw a couple bucks my way or a fiver or buy me a
• 24:57
  gallon of iced tea or a thousand dollars let them decide what you know some
• 25:02
  people are blessed with an income that allows them to tip some 200 300
• 25:08
  500 levels you know it doesn't a huge dent in their lifestyle and why
• 25:14
  dissuade them from doing that by saying you have to give 99 cents by setting up
• 25:18
  a structure that limits people to a 99 cent per month donation probably just
• 25:23
  weights people from deciding for them.
• 25:39
  and
• 26:02
  that the that
• 26:25
  R that
• 26:30
  the that
• 26:49
  R that
• 26:52
  a that
• 27:01
  ... ...that... ...that... the...
• 27:06
  ...that...
• 27:23
  ... You know you leave a name you just right whatever you
• 27:30
  want here you can say something nice you can say hey
• 27:34
  Scottie how's it going don't do anything I wouldn't do whatever you want I think
• 27:40
  it's a better model than
• 27:44
  the 99
• 28:17
  Everything All the Content is going to the and
• 28:19
  that
• 28:28
  the that
• 28:40
  R that
• 28:41
  a that
• 28:50
  way that the way that
• 28:53
  is that way
• 28:54
  that I that way
• 28:58
  R that way
• 29:00
  that I
• 29:00
  that
• 29:07
  way that that way that way that or you want
• 29:08
  to give me $1,000 a month and see what I, you know, see how, see how wisely I
• 29:12
  can take care of that kind of money.
• 29:14
  Oh my goodness. I'd be a thousand there at that point.
• 29:17
  I don't know if I can handle the pressure.
• 29:20
  Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
• 29:23
  Now I got to scroll back on these comments because we just passed to 10 by the
• 29:26
  way, the way it's supposed to be.
• 29:28
  Two 12. All right. Let's see what your feedback is on this topic.
• 29:33
  It's a single comment on this topic.
• 29:37
  All right.
• 29:39
  I see the marinated in Greek comment here and I want to read comment here and I
• 29:44
  want to read comments on everything here.
• 29:47
  Jen
• 29:49
  says, Hey Renee released a video today where she
• 29:54
  released a
• 29:55
  video
• 30:10
  today where Jen thinks we can make 900 comments tonight.
• 30:12
  Okay, that's a stretch goal.
• 30:15
  CL was the best betcha goal, but looks like Jen,
• 30:38
  I'm just listening on the membership thing.
• 30:41
  Okay, so let's see here. Em says, I'll talk now since we went nine hundred and
• 30:47
  Em you want to talk. We always want to hear what she says.
• 30:51
  And Jen and Mike think that that's, I mean Pam and Mike both think that that's
• 30:54
  crazy talk, but Em says that's my kind of language.
• 31:01
  I will try to keep you guys in the loop.
• 31:03
  Jen wants to know when we pass the 100 milestones there.
• 31:06
  So I'll still try and keep a I caught on that.
• 31:10
  All right, let's see here.
• 31:12
  I want to get to the chat you guys are saying about memberships.
• 31:17
  Okay, so Glenn says you're overthinking it.
• 31:19
  It's completely fine. Fine and doable being a dollar.
• 31:21
  The ones that are five, I think switching between after a couple of years.
• 31:25
  CL says I feel guilty about passing on joining membership.
• 31:29
  See, that's what I'm talking about.
• 31:30
  But if I would be tempted to buy more, I have a fixed income, so it's better for
• 31:35
  me not to buy any. See? That's the kind of thing I'm talking about, Ciel.
• 31:39
  I don't want anybody to feel guilty about passing on joining, and I don't want
• 31:43
  them to feel like they're missing out on something they didn't join it.
• 31:47
  And I certainly don't want to tempt somebody into buying one, and then if you
• 31:51
  buy one, well then you feel guilty about buying membership from somebody else.
• 31:56
  And we've got all these YouTube friends in here.
• 31:59
  So I kind of like the idea that...
• 32:01
  Let's just leave it as a purely love driven and optional thing that everybody
• 32:05
  can decide what they want to do.
• 32:09
  Jen says you put a lot of these things that much thinking headache.
• 32:13
  That's funny.
• 32:17
  And it says the checks in the mail.
• 32:21
  Warren says I don't believe in paywalls on content we voluntarily put out there.
• 32:26
  That's just me. Once YouTube says you reach the tier of sharing and add revenue,
• 32:30
  that's fine. Anything else is a personal preference.
• 32:33
  I think that's where I'm coming down on this, Warren.
• 32:37
  Kim says, memberships do not dissuade me from tipping.
• 32:41
  Okay, that's good to know.
• 32:43
  Good data point. CL says, I don't base my decision to describe or not on
• 32:48
  someone's membership. That's what I figured.
• 32:50
  That's what I figured. Mike is using the custom emote, go away if I turn off
• 32:56
  memberships. We lose the custom.
• 33:01
  emojis and the little faces, but that's okay.
• 33:04
  Em says she's listening and reading in the chat.
• 33:07
  We are up to 200 comments, Em.
• 33:10
  You got to give me at least 10 comments, Em.
• 33:12
  But don't spam it like Jay did last week.
• 33:15
  That was too much.
• 33:17
  And Jen says possible, probable, and likely.
• 33:21
  Ouch. Amy says I thought the only way you could get a tip is through members
• 33:26
  that's the only way to get through YouTube
• 34:05
  Catherine says I have enough subs to even do memberships yet.
• 34:07
  Well that's the cool thing about the Buy Me a Coffee website where I send you.
• 34:08
  When you go to donate.winningtheweek.org, that just sends you to Buy Me a
• 34:08
  Coffee. You can do that today.
• 34:08
  You don't need to have any certain number of subscribers or anything to use the
• 34:09
  Buy Me a Coffee website. And another example of that, like C.L.
• 34:11
  says here is Patreon, right?
• 34:14
  She says, a ton of artists that I like that have Patreon links, the multiple
• 34:18
  income streams is heavily in the artist communities.
• 34:22
  And that makes a lot of sense, right?
• 34:23
  Because that's what Patreon and Buy Me a Coffee and all these kinds of places,
• 34:29
  these tip jar websites are for, which is a way for you to support favorite
• 34:34
  artists slash creators. And I know that it's also huge in the
• 34:40
  music scene like on Bandcamp and places like that.
• 34:45
  There's a guy that I have every album he's ever put out.
• 34:49
  I was actually friends with him in high school.
• 34:50
  And he makes all this really cool, elect, chill out, relaxing music.
• 34:56
  It used to be a two guy guy, one of them, and...
• 35:03
  I'm not.
• 35:54
  And Jen is on board with value for value.
• 35:58
  That's a good, that's good.
• 36:00
  That's good. So good. So good.
• 36:22
  You know how how many times in this live stream am I going to say donate
• 36:25
  .winningtheweek.org and how many times am I going to say value for value?
• 36:30
  If you don't talk about it nobody knows about it and if you don't do live
• 36:33
  streams then you really miss out on an opportunity to talk about it.
• 36:38
  Miss MC that's exactly what I'm talking about.
• 36:40
  Am I feel good about giving value to others?
• 36:43
  Exactly!
• 36:45
  Well, oh my goodness, look who decided to grace us with his presence.
• 36:49
  It's the great teacher Ben in real life.
• 36:52
  We are thumbs downing today, sir.
• 36:54
  There's still four thumbs ups lingering.
• 36:57
  So I would appreciate it if everybody could please thumbs down and the comments
• 37:01
  are up to 240.
• 37:04
  A67530 has challenged us to hit 900 comments tonight.
• 37:10
  I don't know about that. It's doable, but it's possible.
• 37:15
  So please hit, hit thumbs down, Ben, and let's get some comments in here and see
• 37:19
  if we can really get up to, boy, I'll tell you what, we even get to halfway to
• 37:22
  900. I'm going to feel awesome.
• 37:25
  And don't forget, value for value.
• 37:27
  This is value. This is value.
• 37:29
  Leaving comments, right?
• 37:32
  I didn't mean to sound like I was hinting.
• 37:36
  I'm fine. It just doesn't work for me.
• 37:37
  I think I'll remove it. Thanks.
• 37:39
  I don't know. I would leave it on there, Catherine.
• 37:41
  It can't hurt to leave it there.
• 37:42
  You know,
• 37:43
  Mike says, and Mike says, you don't want to see my artwork.
• 37:46
  Yes, I do. I want to see your artwork.
• 37:49
  If you haven't seen the video that CL put out where she was put out on this,
• 37:53
  what was that bag or a handbag or like a denim purse or something and she's
• 37:59
  she's reproducing artwork that she made.
• 38:02
  I think you said in high school, but you're reproducing it onto a fabric.
• 38:06
  It is so cool. Um, Mike says, I can't
• 38:13
  do this. I'm not interested in putting tip jars in such of my channel I do want
• 38:16
  to buy stickers and do stickers that would be a great idea And if you've seen
• 38:21
  Debbie sues video that she put out with her sticker book what a great idea to
• 38:25
  have a whole sticker book where you can keep all your stickers and
• 38:31
  I'll talk about how you can get some free stickers from me if you have not got
• 38:35
  free stickers for me yet, what are you doing life I'll talk about how to get
• 38:41
  free stickers for me in a minute.
• 38:42
  Am I haven't been able to send you stickers
• 38:46
  Otis, and I haven't been able to send you stickers, Catherine, I haven't sent
• 38:49
  you any stickers, Ben. I have some stickers, so you guys are going to have to
• 38:53
  follow instructions when I tell everybody how to get stickers from me.
• 38:58
  Ben says, do you hand draw that or use a program?
• 39:02
  I'd like to learn how to animate characters.
• 39:04
  I have an idea for a cartoon comic I would like to make.
• 39:08
  And he says, if we all put the ABCs to the program, we don't want to.
• 39:14
  crazy, silly, useless comments.
• 39:16
  Good, useful, positive and encouraging comments.
• 39:19
  We are at 254. Doing great.
• 39:23
  Do you have a merch store on your channel, CL?
• 39:25
  That's a great question.
• 39:27
  And Jen reinforced what I already said.
• 39:29
  Quality only. Thank you very much.
• 39:36
  Quality only. Thank. Thank you very much.
• 39:36
  Quality only.
• 39:39
  Thank you very much. Quality only.
• 39:43
  Thank Great. The problem is, YouTube doesn't, I don't think, let you post
• 39:47
  links.
• 39:48
  I'll post you a lot. See, you're probably the only person who can post a link.
• 39:52
  But you know where you can post is in my Discord.
• 39:55
  I talked earlier about joining my Discord.
• 39:58
  And everybody who's a youtuber in my Discord, I have their videos get posted.
• 40:04
  But yeah post in here what your video is post in here with your most upcoming
• 40:08
  video or your recent video And if you don't do YouTube I would like to hear from
• 40:13
  you what your favorite video.
• 40:15
  Video. You've seen on YouTube recently is because I know it's gonna be my video
• 40:18
  from Monday, correct? Is that correct?
• 40:21
  Yes. Yes. Is that correct?
• 40:23
  Yes. Is it my video about patience?
• 40:25
  Yes. No, not really. I don't think so get out of here.
• 40:30
  Okay that's fine yeah leave a comment in here and tell us what your most recent
• 40:35
  favorite video you've seen is.
• 40:47
  don't you understand she's not polluted by this filthy looker she's
• 40:53
  a pure artist You know CL, we all respect that about you.
• 40:57
  Honestly jokes aside. I have a lot of respect for that.
• 41:00
  Don't forget, back here hiding the little green dragon.
• 41:05
  The cutest, little dragon CL has ever painted that she sent me.
• 41:08
  That is the cutest dragon you ever sent me CL.
• 41:13
  Just because you have memberships doesn't mean to make memberships.
• 41:16
  No, you don't. That's 100% true.
• 41:18
  I just felt guilty about having memberships available and
• 41:24
  not making members only videos.
• 41:26
  I felt like I kind of had to.
• 41:27
  But you're right Glenn, you don't have to do that.
• 41:31
  I learned how to go back to the chat after.
• 41:36
  It could
• 41:39
  be
• 41:46
  that it's still processing.
• 41:49
  Sometimes it takes you to process a live stream.
• 42:01
  Do you enable live chat replay?
• 42:21
  But if you intentionally have that turned off, I don't know why.
• 42:24
  Because I want to go back and read the comments that we might have missed.
• 42:27
  And Ali is weighing in with your faces.
• 42:30
  Your face is value for value, Ali.
• 42:34
  That's a good idea. See, I'll upload long form videos.
• 42:38
  But once I'm over this health hurdle, that's in my way.
• 42:41
  Once you get through this whole ordeal, you're going through and we're looking
• 42:47
  forward to your long form videos.
• 42:49
  Jen says Ali.
• 42:55
  I
• 43:20
  You never know what could happen.
• 43:24
  M says tomorrow is Thursday.
• 43:25
  Yeah, I need to see Ali's face after getting blood drawn.
• 43:29
  I've never drawn blood before.
• 43:31
  It's really easy to draw though.
• 43:33
  You know, just get a big old red marker.
• 43:36
  CL says,
• 43:49
  looks
• 43:52
  like
• 44:18
  CL says, I bought a PO box to be able to mail artwork out.
• 44:22
  I'm more interested in doing a business plan for the art instead of getting
• 44:25
  YouTube money. I think that's a good idea.
• 44:28
  YouTube keeping half the money is the scam I tell you.
• 44:32
  If my channel does go viral, I roll with
• 44:35
  it. You're optimistic,
• 44:42
  upbeat, attitude, you're awesome.
• 44:44
  Kitty Cat's always helping you.
• 44:45
  I love the way that you,
• 45:02
  You're optimistic, you
• 45:11
  And yeah, having the PO box, you know, I kind of considered having a PO box to
• 45:15
  being able to mail things out with a return address or make an address where
• 45:19
  people can send stuff to you.
• 45:20
  I don't know how expensive it is here.
• 45:23
  It's something I need to think about, I guess.
• 45:28
  And CL says that that purse is actually a high quality vinyl.
• 45:31
  Okay, cool. It looked, you know, I didn't see it real closely.
• 45:35
  I didn't have the video playing on big screen.
• 45:37
  I just had it on a regular browser window.
• 45:40
  It looked like it was.
• 45:42
  Whoo looks like it was denim.
• 45:43
  Excuse me. Wow am I yawning?
• 45:45
  Oh my goodness that's what happens.
• 45:47
  See that I was wondering. One thing I was worried about there Otis is if I go
• 45:52
  live with you in the middle of the whole hour am I going to be out of energy?
• 45:57
  Is there a possibility that I would be low energy in tonight?
• 46:01
  I was really worried about it cause you can talk yourself out.
• 46:04
  Now that was a long time ago that was a good seven hours ago right?
• 46:11
  But I was worried that I was worried that I was worried about it.
• 46:12
  I might be really low energy tonight not have anything to talk about with you
• 46:16
  guys.
• 46:17
  Ben says that's a good idea.
• 46:19
  I have so many darn stickers and no clue what to do.
• 46:24
  I have most of my stickers that I want to keep forever on my cabinet.
• 46:31
  I have a tall double door cabinet where I keep like car washing and oil change
• 46:36
  type equipment inside that cabinet.
• 46:40
  I don't think I'm ever getting rid of it.
• 46:41
  So I put stickers on that.
• 46:43
  And that's one of the stickers that I want to keep forever.
• 46:46
  The stickers I want to see every day I put on here.
• 46:49
  On all of my Yetis, right?
• 46:51
  And I got a few more. Oops, I can't put my fingers in the right...
• 46:56
  There we go.
• 46:57
  You know it's like a mirror thing, I can't see anything.
• 47:00
  So I got a couple of Yetis back there with the Yetis.
• 47:02
  These seem to be surviving the dishwasher.
• 47:05
  So that's a good sign.
• 47:09
  But a sticker book is a great idea too.
• 47:16
  Oh, I see. Okay, so Mike said,
• 47:28
  said,
• 47:33
  Mike said,
• 47:42
  feels free to mail me a paintbrush says CEO.
• 47:47
  Well, you know what we got to talk about.
• 47:49
  I want to remind you folks, I want to remind you folks that you can tell me how
• 47:53
  you're winning your week. And guess who just did this this week.
• 47:57
  I'm going to let you guys guess.
• 47:58
  I'm gonna let you leave in the comments a guess of who you think did this but
• 48:01
  you can use your cell phone and record a short video.
• 48:04
  Tell me what you're doing in your week and I will feature your clip in my next
• 48:10
  video. So somebody sent me a video yesterday and I'm going to put that in the
• 48:16
  week the video that I'm making this week about.
• 48:20
  What am I making about this week?
• 48:25
  Kindness being kind
• 48:28
  being And
• 48:31
  I'm
• 48:57
  really kind of leaning into the topic of, you know, I've heard this, a really
• 48:57
  good friend of mine told me this once, that people would mistake kindness for a
• 48:58
  week. And I'm kind of chewing on that this week, talking about whether kindness
• 48:58
  is something that can be easily interpreted as weakness and being taken of
• 48:58
  a lot
• 48:58
  of, a lot of Pam's videos, talk about You know, people try to manipulate you and
• 49:00
  do that, you know, negative kind of boundary invasion type stuff.
• 49:08
  So, what was I talking about?
• 49:10
  Oh yeah, be sure, send me a video.
• 49:11
  So the person who sent me a video yesterday is Ali G.
• 49:16
  Fishing with Ali G sent me a video yesterday is Ali
• 49:21
  G. Fishing with Ali G sent me a video.
• 49:47
  tell me how you're winning your week.
• 50:07
  and
• 50:15
  Here let me bring up the screen so you can see these awesome.
• 50:18
  Don't do anything. I wouldn't who and Upside down that's you winning the weak
• 50:24
  stickers which uses my banner artwork and I've got some of these little cute
• 50:29
  that has this handsome face on it.
• 50:32
  Oh my goodness He's so good-looking.
• 50:34
  He's so handsome Wow all the girls want to know Wow, where does he get his purse
• 50:40
  and how are his eyes so handsome?
• 50:44
  So I would love to send you guys some stickers, it's very easy.
• 50:49
  It doesn't cost you anything.
• 50:50
  But there is a form that you can fill out.
• 50:56
  There's a form that you can fill out in the video description which tells me an
• 51:00
  address and I would be happy to put your name on it
• 51:06
  and fill it up with stickers and magnets and send it your way for free.
• 51:12
  And the Google form there is just a...
• 51:14
  way for me to keep track of.
• 51:16
  I've given them to and who I haven't yet.
• 51:19
  So all of you guys in the chat who I haven't given stickers to yet.
• 51:23
  What are you waiting for? For a form it.
• 51:26
  It can't look right here in this drawer.
• 51:28
  Right. I have here is a bunch of stamps waiting.
• 51:33
  There's more on the back. Don't you worry.
• 51:34
  I got stamps galore ready to go and send you guys stickers and magnets.
• 51:40
  And I also ordered a new set of magnets.
• 51:44
  a new pile of magnets which look like this and they come in next Wednesday so
• 51:50
  I'll probably have those here to show you by next Wednesday's live stream I'll
• 51:54
  have magnets like this so you can throw them on your refrigerator or on the back
• 51:59
  of your car and they don't stay stuck.
• 52:02
  So just a reminder we talked about this quite a bit earlier in the memberships
• 52:05
  chat but just a reminder that winning with Scott Aldridge podcast and livestream
• 52:11
  and YouTube channel. It's all a value for value operation where you can decide
• 52:16
  how much value you got out of my presentation, podcast, videos, channels,
• 52:22
  livestreams, and then decide you want to return either time, talent, or
• 52:26
  treasure. Your time is made up of your comments, your views, and being here live
• 52:32
  stream. Your talent, that's your boots on the ground, reports, your artwork,
• 52:37
  and you know, you guys leave a comment.
• 52:40
  that spurs an idea for my next video.
• 52:43
  You know how many times that's taught?
• 52:44
  How many times that, it's happened so many times, so many times.
• 52:49
  And that's, that's value for value.
• 52:51
  You're turning an idea in the comments.
• 52:55
  It's amazing. And of course then there's the treasure.
• 52:57
  Don't forget you can remember me at donate.winning.org.
• 53:02
  You can also just follow the link to Amazon or a sticker mule.
• 53:07
  I have a vidIQ affiliate link.
• 53:10
  And I do have a merch shop.winningtheweek if you want to get yourself a coffee
• 53:15
  mug or something like that.
• 53:17
  It's always a good idea.
• 53:19
  That said, oh my goodness, what am I missing?
• 53:22
  All this fun stuff happening in the chat room.
• 53:25
  Jenny says, hey, yeah, my therapist told me that anxiety and excitement share
• 53:29
  the same pathway in the brain.
• 53:30
  We just interpret them differently.
• 53:32
  When we feel anxious, say out loud, this is exciting.
• 53:36
  What a great reframe. Jen, that is a That is a fantastic reframe.
• 53:42
  When you feel anxious, say out loud, this is exciting.
• 53:46
  And move around. So, so good.
• 53:49
  This is exciting.
• 53:51
  This is exciting. I'm not feeling anxious, but I just wanted to get excited.
• 53:56
  So, it would be a good time.
• 54:10
  And Alright, let's see here.
• 54:11
  Mike says I don't think it's possible for you to be low energy.
• 54:15
  And it's just, oh, your face is trademark.
• 54:22
  And Mike same here. My P.O, you're applying to Mike about
• 54:28
  the P.O box. Oh, Mike says, I have a P.O box.
• 54:31
  But it's always empty. Well you know Mike, I don't think I've ever heard you
• 54:34
  mention your P. O box in your video.
• 54:35
  So you got nobody to blame but yourself buddy.
• 54:38
  Start talking in your video and say I got a PO box and then tell people what you
• 54:43
  want them to send you.
• 54:46
  And then they'll send you the craziest
• 54:49
  stuff.
• 55:28
  I don't know what you guys are talking to.
• 55:32
  I miss that. Also, um... you know, Ali and Granny are having a meet
• 55:39
  up in I think in August. Who else coming down to floor meet up?
• 55:45
  I got to try to get up there for you guys.
• 55:47
  I don't know when it is or I don't have any of the details.
• 55:49
  I don't tell me anything.
• 55:51
  And Catherine says I didn't know stickers were a thing until I started making
• 55:54
  friends. That is a that is a very YouTube thing, isn't it?
• 55:58
  Stickers and magnets is a very YouTube thing.
• 56:02
  I agree.
• 56:03
  The lonely PO boxes need to make friends, says CL.
• 56:07
  That's a good idea.
• 56:09
  And Jen, who's having a private conversation with Emily in our chat, says,
• 56:12
  my
• 56:12
  daughter and I laugh maniacally when we're anxious now.
• 56:16
  My husband and son are a bit scared of us.
• 56:19
  That's hilarious. I'm not anxious,
• 56:24
  I'm not?
• 56:24
  What a great reframe.
• 56:25
  What a great reframe. M says I keep thinking about making my money to sell,
• 56:28
  but
• 56:28
  would anybody buy that? Why not?
• 56:31
  The only one way to know and guess what you get $10 off on stickers at Mickle
• 56:36
  sticker m
• 56:47
  for the kiss cut stickers that's what these are these are all kiss cut stickers
• 56:53
  and they're very waterproof they're nice vinyl stickers and they peel very
• 56:59
  nicely that's the only ones to get but wait for them to go on sale they will go
• 57:04
  on sale 50 stickers for $29 a day by the way that's the deal they're doing on
• 57:09
  magnets right now i got 50 magnets like this
• 57:32
  3 inches by 2.5
• 57:35
  spend 19 bucks and make some stickers and see if anybody would buy them.
• 57:39
  Why not? And then talk about them in your videos, make a video and talk about
• 57:43
  your stickers and show them and tell everybody that they can buy them from you.
• 57:47
  Why not? I mean, what's the worst that can happen?
• 57:50
  Right. Don't answer that. What's the worst that can happen?
• 57:53
  Don't answer that. See, your phone is full.
• 57:56
  I really need to buy a new phone next year.
• 57:58
  So there's no space on your phone.
• 58:00
  Oh, I hate that. That's the worst.
• 58:02
  Hey guys, 300 comments right now.
• 58:05
  We're getting pretty close to being halfway to 900.
• 58:08
  I bet we hit halfway to 900 pretty soon
• 58:13
  Mike says did you get my winning of the week?
• 58:17
  If you made me a video I did not get it, Mike.
• 58:20
  So you'll have to text me and let me know how you sent it.
• 58:25
  Let me just real quick and make sure I didn't miss a video that you sent me,
• 58:29
  Mike. I'm looking at my phone here.
• 58:31
  Here's Mr. Mike.
• 58:35
  I do not see a video from you.
• 58:38
  the week video if you sent me one or did you put it in discord or something.
• 58:43
  You'll have to text me later after the live stream, Mike, and let me know what
• 58:48
  that video is because I
• 58:54
  didn't know you sent one and I don't want to miss it.
• 58:56
  Em says,
• 59:00
  does how winning the week mean?
• 59:01
  So what it means is I want to know how you're winning the week.
• 59:04
  I want you to make a video to tell me how you're winning the week and send it to
• 59:08
  me so I can put it in my channel.
• 59:10
  Oh my goodness. Look who.
• 59:38
  I'm
• 59:41
  So I usually watch it the next morning and go back and watch
• 59:43
  the
• 59:52
  replay of Heidi.
• 1:00:06
  And it's nine o'clock ladies and gentlemen we have hit the one hour point not
• 1:00:11
  counting the pre-show the five minute pre- show that we did.
• 1:00:48
  This is a
• 1:00:51
  This is a good idea and we should make 8 6 7 5 3 0 9 stickers.
• 1:00:56
  Absolutely. That would be hilarious.
• 1:00:58
  Look at my shirt. It doesn't say 8 6 7 5 3 0 9.
• 1:01:01
  It says 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2
• 1:01:05
  and Jenny Jenny who cannot turn to Genesis.
• 1:01:10
  I can't be breaking copyright law.
• 1:01:13
  I guess that phone number there's probably a there is probably a copyright on 8
• 1:01:17
  6 7 5 3 0 9 that point
• 1:01:20
  Catherine says
• 1:01:22
  I'll
• 1:01:48
  be saying this Everything is exciting.
• 1:01:52
  We're so excited. By the way, Heidi, if you missed it, Jenny pointed out that if
• 1:01:57
  you feel anxious, it taps into the same part of your brain that enjoys
• 1:02:01
  excitement. So when you feel anxious, just say, this is exciting.
• 1:02:05
  And it tricks your HIDI brain into thinking you're not anxious, you're just
• 1:02:07
  exciting. So we're all saying, I'm just kidding about everything and we're all
• 1:02:11
  getting excited1959 Jenny says we
• 1:02:16
  need Scott
• 1:02:21
  stickers on a
• 1:02:25
  beach
• 1:03:02
  that Oh my
• 1:03:05
  husband

• 1:03:14
  So I need to send you guys some more.
• 1:03:14
  I will send you guys another stickers starting next Wednesday.
• 1:03:15
  I better keep list here. I'm going to grab my notepad.
• 1:03:17
  I write everything down that I need to remember on the notepad.
• 1:03:19
  Hm. Let me see here. People I already have their address.
• 1:03:23
  So that's Glenn and Dana and Ali
• 1:03:29
  need more stickers. Okay.
• 1:03:32
  Anybody else that I already have your address.
• 1:03:35
  You just gotta let me know you want more.
• 1:03:38
  I want more. I want it all and I want it now!
• 1:03:44
  I had to resend that video.
• 1:03:45
  I don't know what went wrong.
• 1:03:46
  Okay. Do you resent it? Maybe it Hint through this time.
• 1:03:50
  And Mike is trying to do it through email.
• 1:03:52
  Okay, cool. We'll need a second simultaneous S.I.P.
• 1:03:55
  says,iasco Jenny. I can feel my voice going.
• 1:03:58
  I can feel my going, Dave.
• 1:04:02

• 1:04:05
  Let's have another simultaneous sip.
• 1:04:08
  The pause that refreshes as as do it.
• 1:04:12
  Simultaneous sip everybody.
• 1:04:14
  Grab your favorite beverage.
• 1:04:22
  The Just a Little Patience video that came out on Monday is doing very well.
• 1:04:28
  I thought just a little patience.
• 1:04:33
  Yeah.
• 1:04:36
  So the thumbnail text says I'm making some of you mad and that was actually
• 1:04:40
  Timer's idea for a thumbnail text.
• 1:04:43
  His idea was I'm pissing some of you off and I just couldn't bring myself to
• 1:04:47
  bring some of you off on text on my thumbnail.
• 1:04:51
  That would be too Hrass and too coarse.
• 1:04:53
  So I said I'm going to make some of you mad.
• 1:04:57
  But the video is doing really cool.
• 1:04:58
  If you look at that picture frivolity with the arrow, believe it or not, this
• 1:05:02
  video actually beat that evergreen superpower video I have.
• 1:05:10
  that ALWAYS GETS THE MOST
• 1:05:14
  VIEWS
• 1:05:27
  OF THIS TIME BUT
• 1:05:35
  Look at that! This patience video actually beat that video, so I was really
• 1:05:41
  happy to see that. That did really well.
• 1:05:43
  And I want to share with you this really encouraging comment that Lori left me
• 1:05:48
  on this video. And I think this is really important.
• 1:05:51
  I talked about this with Mike today on the live stream when I joined him.
• 1:05:54
  She said, this touched on something really important.
• 1:05:58
  When somebody only shows the everything is great version of themselves, it can
• 1:06:02
  quietly leave the rest of us feeling like we're the only ones struggling like
• 1:06:06
  something's wrong with us for not having figured it out.
• 1:06:09
  Think about it. We never root for the perfect character in a movie, we always
• 1:06:12
  root for the underdog, the one who's stumbling, figuring it out as they relate
• 1:06:18
  to, and admitting the impatience, the frustrations, the joyful moments, actually
• 1:06:23
  does the opposite of the perfect thing, it makes us feel less alone.
• 1:06:30
  Reel is always more relatable than perfect.
• 1:06:34
  I've also had to learn to learn years.
• 1:06:36
  None of us haven't figured out completely.
• 1:06:38
  In fact, I always tell my kids, the more I learn, the real, I realize the less I
• 1:06:42
  know. I hope her doing well sending love.
• 1:06:44
  That was Lori a day ago." So she really touched on it, right?
• 1:06:50
  The idea of admitting, I think we all know to say I don't have it figured out.
• 1:06:56
  Mentally we all know. It's one thing to say I don't know everything and it's
• 1:07:00
  another thing to show. In a video.
• 1:07:03
  that
• 1:07:04
  we
• 1:07:13
  don't
• 1:07:21
  know everything and kind of touch
• 1:07:27
  on that so I think Lori had you know Lori always says it better than I do you
• 1:07:33
  know she says things in a way that I wish I had said it that way.
• 1:07:40
  This is the video
• 1:07:43
  I'm
• 1:07:58
  going to show you.
• 1:08:00
  I'm learning it just as much as you guys are and that goes for the kindness
• 1:08:04
  video that I'm doing right now as Well, but video the joy video the
• 1:08:10
  kindness video. I'm doing it's really a case of figuring oh so
• 1:08:15
  Hey, let's take a quick jump and if I miss anything super important I know you
• 1:08:21
  guys are all encouraging each other and talking to each other like Jenny says
• 1:08:25
  hey em your positive actions are the reason you're getting these tests on now
• 1:08:28
  you rock and Jen and then M says thanks Jen I do rock.
• 1:08:34
  We're up to 383 comments but unfortunately we have five thumbs up so I would
• 1:08:39
  love to see that get down to a number.
• 1:08:41
  Please hit thumbs down everybody.
• 1:08:44
  See also these stickers.
• 1:08:49
  Let's see when I said what's the worst thing that can happen?
• 1:08:52
  M says the worst thing that could happen is thousands of people and I would get
• 1:08:56
  overwhelmed. That'd be a good problem.
• 1:08:59
  Wouldn't it?
• 1:09:01
  Ben says hey I don't know if anyone likes the TV show Big Brother but I've
• 1:09:04
  decided to do an impromptu live stream in an hour 9 p.m.

  your face M
• 1:10:07
  New New You're on your phone, so you can't use the ad sign.
• 1:10:09
  I hate that. I hate it. The fact that you can't use the ad sign to talk to
• 1:10:12
  people in the chat when you're on your phone, they got to fix that.
• 1:10:16
  Come on, YouTube. Get your stuff.
• 1:10:37
  Get your as if like caffeine or something, but he does it in every state.
• 1:10:40
  I can't even remember who it is.
• 1:10:42
  Mike says, hey Heidi, it's because we're fun and because we're on caffeine and
• 1:10:46
  also because we're on caffeine.
• 1:10:49
  You know caffeine,
• 1:10:52
  it is the source of and the answer to all of life's problems.
• 1:11:01
  Actually, that's what Homer Simpson said about beer, but I don't feel that way
• 1:11:04
  about beer. I do feel that way about caffeine.
• 1:11:08
  CL says tagging isn't available in the eye tag either we just say hello yeah
• 1:11:12
  that's the way it
• 1:11:13
  goes
• 1:11:34
  to
• 1:11:49
  And Amy says, oh, I was wondering how you directed your somebody.
• 1:11:53
  Yeah, you used to at-sign and then you can type their name.
• 1:11:55
  If you're on a desktop computer or a laptop, you can just type an at and then
• 1:11:59
  start typing a couple of letters and you'll see that auto completes.
• 1:12:02
  And that's how you can tag each other, which is always very nice and very fun,
• 1:12:06
  very cool to do. Oh my goodness, is Santa Fred here?
• 1:12:10
  I got to meet Santa Fred for the very first time today on Otis' livestream.
• 1:12:15
  And wouldn't you know, look who shows up saying hi.
• 1:12:19
  Santa Fred Adventures. Now where, let me see my memory.
• 1:12:22
  Where are you Santa Fred? You're not in Canada, right?
• 1:12:27
  Are you the one who's in Canada and he said almost due north of me?
• 1:12:31
  I might be. Are you due north of me there, eh?
• 1:12:35
  Let me know in the land of Tim Hortons there buddy.

• 1:12:48
  I can't get anything past you or Pam.
• 1:12:51
  You and Pam. I can't sneak anything past her.
• 1:12:55
  Very cool.
• 1:12:57
  Well, hey, Santa Fred, I'm going to tell you something.
• 1:13:00
  Oh, look, is Pam back? I see.
• 1:13:02
  They see Jenny saying, Pam, how's that green chicken?
• 1:13:07
  I think she's asking her knowing that she's not back yet.
• 1:13:09
  She's just knowing she'll be back for the livestream.
• 1:13:11
  So Santa Faye, Santa Fred.

• 1:23:43
  If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense because in retirement,
• 1:23:48
  making a YouTube channel is, is a great way to spend your retirement.
• 1:23:52
  So it's actually connected.
• 1:23:53
  It sounds like it might be kind of random that he's giving YouTuber tips on a
• 1:23:56
  retirement channel. Makes perfect sense and he explained that to me.

• 1:26:51
  know we maybe we can I forget which one of these crazy people suggested, we got
• 1:26:54
  a hit 900 might have been Jenny it sounds like a Jenny thing to do.
• 1:27:01
  Pam says, are we still going here?
• 1:27:03
  You guys are crazy. No, your face is crazy Pam Look at that and the hunt is over

• 1:28:03
  Santa Fred says I've been doing short but I'm gonna be, stopping because I
• 1:28:09
  think it's confusingly what is your channel about Santa Fred let us know I'm
• 1:28:14
  curious when I see Santa Fred so I thought you were in New Mexico but
• 1:28:21
  Mike told me you're in So what is your channel actually about Santa Fred?
• 1:28:26
  What's your YouTuber channel about?
• 1:28:29
  He says, I love planes and flying.
• 1:28:32
  You know, I, I used to have this, I used to have this catch phrase when we were
• 1:28:36
  out riding all the time on the channel, whenever we would pass the railroad
• 1:28:39
  tracks or trains or a train station, always said,
• 1:28:44
  I don't like trains. I like railroads.
• 1:29:10
  And I don't even remember what it was.
• 1:29:11
  We had so many weird catch phrases back there.
• 1:29:11
  We had catch phrases like, where are we?
• 1:29:11
  And I, should bring that one back.
• 1:29:11
  Where are we? But, planes and flying.
• 1:29:12
  I love planes. I know you're saying to the flight quest, right?
• 1:29:12
  When I was talking about flight quest channel,
• 1:29:13
  I like planes and I like flying.
• 1:29:13
  What I don't like is flying, commercial.
• 1:29:17
  and flying coach because they don't give any leg-room anymore.
• 1:29:20
  I don't have enough leg-room in front of me where my knees hit the chair, in
• 1:29:24
  front of me, and I can't even like bend forward and touch my ankle without my
• 1:29:28
  face smashing into the seat.
• 1:29:30
  But I do love railroads.
• 1:29:35
  Santa Francis... Oh, no, I've already read that part.
• 1:29:37
  Sorry.
• 1:30:02
  see
• 1:30:33
  I
• 1:30:35
  Do I have your sticker on this?
• 1:30:37
  No, I have your sticker over on that other thing over there.
• 1:30:39
  Your truck is kind of like Rob the Meritimer's blue hat.
• 1:30:44
  It's like your trademark. I think you should have that blue every single video.
• 1:30:49
  Even if it's just you getting out of the truck and walking to the truck or
• 1:30:53
  walking past a truck or sitting by the truck or showing your hamm were with the
• 1:30:57
  truck in the background.
• 1:30:59
  Talk while you can do your driving.
• 1:31:01
  I think your truck is an important
• 1:31:27
  with the
• 1:31:32
  camper on them is so distinctive that blue and Pam says thanks for shouting out
• 1:31:34
  the channel hearts and thumbs ups oh I mean thumbs down thank you we are down
• 1:31:38
  we're still at oh my gravy we're still at five thumbs up we're never gonna get
• 1:31:42
  down to zero I have to remember to say thumbs down at the beginning of the
• 1:31:46
  livestream so we don't accidentally get too many ups we'll never get it a doubt
• 1:31:49
  and we are at 560 comments you guys you were doing great we are on our way well
• 1:31:54
  on our way to 600 easily oh well
• 1:32:00
  Mike says I had for dinner a walking taco.
• 1:32:22
  So
• 1:32:54
  like in real life though I mean the problem is in
• 1:33:21
  but you know it's gonna be a lot more search hits make sense
• 1:33:26
  Yeah, Pam. I'm with you a walking taco.
• 1:33:29
  I'm intrigued. I want to hear more about that and Ali says I bought gluten free
• 1:33:33
  pretzels and they are so good.
• 1:33:36
  I bet they're good with Publix mustard See else as I put acrylic painting and in
• 1:33:41
  the tags I think it helps a little I've been expe
• 1:33:55
  fun to watch.
• 1:33:59
  That's gotta be so nice
• 1:34:06
  to have your daughter
• 1:34:09
  visiting. You are
• 1:34:15
  blessed with riches there lady.
• 1:34:19
  And Santa Fred is telling Ben that's a pretty good name, which I agree it is a
• 1:34:24
  good name.
• 1:34:26
  And it looks like Jenny there said said before I said it so I finally got a
• 1:34:31
  chance to catch up to her and see that she also enjoys on CEL's channel which I
• 1:34:35
  said before I got to it before I read it.
• 1:34:39
  I'm gonna have to wind up here pretty soon guys.
• 1:34:42
  We're at 570.
• 1:34:44
  I'll tell you what I'll end the livestream when we hit 600 which is right around
• 1:34:47
  the corner. I'm gonna try and get caught up to the chat before Ben says thanks
• 1:34:53
  appreciate it and then Santa Fred says upbeat.
• 1:34:59
  I don't know what that is and I don't know what, Pam says for how me Dylan is
• 1:35:04
  showing our daughter a bunch of classic Beastie Boys music videos.
• 1:35:09
  KICK IT!
• 1:35:12
  You know what Pam? The great philosopher Adam Rauch,
• 1:35:18
  Ad Rock said you gotta fight for your right to party.
• 1:35:38
  and then
• 1:35:48
  Heidi says is there some magical number of 900?
• 1:35:50
  No, there's no magical reason or number, or anything.
• 1:35:53
  It's just a silly idea that Jenny or somebody had.
• 1:35:56
  I think they were just trying to pick something that was so far out of reach
• 1:35:59
  that we wouldn't give up and we wouldn't hit it too early.
• 1:36:02
  I think she just hit at 900 being silly.
• 1:36:04
  But listen, I'm gonna comment one of these days.
• 1:36:07
  One of these days we're gonna hit 900.
• 1:36:10
  I'm gonna know what to do with myself.
• 1:36:12
  Let's take another simultaneous sip.
• 1:36:13
  Grab your drink, grab your cup, your mug, your flash, your...
• 1:36:17
  your club, your chalice or stein,

• 1:36:51
  Jenny says this is a good distraction from my therapy.
• 1:36:56
  That's funny.
• 1:37:00
  And Amy says I, thought you were going to do good morning.
• 1:37:11
  No, I didn't do Good Morning Vietnam, but I...
• 1:37:14

• 1:37:15
  It's actually something the YouTuber does.

  He starts all his videos. His name is Victory Outdoor Services and he's a
• 1:37:21
  concrete contractor in Wisconsin.
• 1:37:25
  In Monomony Falls, Wisconsin.

  And him and his incredibly crazy crew are always working on residential
• 1:37:32
  driveways and patios. I just wear everybody on his cruise on drugs.
• 1:37:37
  They're either a no-call, no-show or...
• 1:37:41
  They're just making stupid mistakes or doing stupid things all the time.
• 1:37:45
  His crew has got to be on drugs.
