- 1:07sharing with you guys the tip of the day Wait till you see what the tip of the
- 1:11day is, and of course as always our producer shout outs So we are gonna
- 1:18have ourselves a real live stream
- 1:21However tonight we are not gonna have a simultaneous sip Some bad news I saw
- 1:26today The great John C. Dvorak has passed away and
- 1:32A lot of you probably never heard that name Some of you are a little bit older
- 1:36might have heard his name.
- 1:37He was very famous in the computer and technology writing space in the 90s and
- 1:432000s I used to do some Like cable TV shows about computers with Leo
- 1:50LaPorte back in the old days But more recently for the past 18 years.
- 1:54He's been one half of the no agenda podcast and
- 1:59The no agenda podcast is the podcast that I found when Scott Adams died Earlier
- 2:05this year and it was kind of my new podcast to go to and John has been doing
- 2:10this podcast with his partner You know not like life partner, but his podcasting
- 2:15partner Adam Curry Who my Gen X friends will remember from MTV Adam Curry the
- 2:21VJ? also famous for inventing basically inventing the way that podcasting works
- 2:27and
- 2:30Inventing RSS feeds and XML files with attachments of mp3 file.
- 2:34So the podcasting actually works.
- 2:35That's that's Adam Curry well together they've had this podcast called no agenda
- 2:40and It's a really it was a really good podcast.
- 2:44I'm sure it will be Adam's gonna continue it But the point of that podcast was
- 2:49mostly political and what they would do is they would a
- 3:11Deconstructed try to talk about any bias that they could identify Try to talk
- 3:15about any hypocrisy that they would see in media.
- 3:18Like I said of both sides.
- 3:19So basically it was a media deconstruction Podcast talking about how media
- 3:25reports politics in this country so the name no agenda was a pretty good
- 3:32name andB You know John here He's 80 years old and he had he had a really bad
- 3:38heart attack I think it was back in May June and he was out for like six weeks
- 3:44his wife filled in for him His wife Mimi is excellent She's very very plugged
- 3:49into the media world and did a great job filling in for him And she and Adam are
- 3:54gonna do tomorrow's podcast they did podcasts twice a week and Thursdays for
- 4:0018 years and
- 4:03They're gonna do a in memorial podcast.
- 4:05So I'm not doing a simultaneous sip in memory of Scott Adams tonight.
- 4:11I just figured we'd do a toast for John So if you guys never heard of him just
- 4:15gonna have to trust me that he's a heck of a guy you know the no agenda podcast
- 4:20is where I learned about value for value and
- 4:26This whole idea that I've been preaching to you guys for the past few months of
- 4:30Not you know not selling your content to members but rather just asking people
- 4:35to return whatever value they feel like they have gotten from The content
- 4:41and just voluntarily returning that in the form of donations.
- 4:44Well, these guys basically they didn't invent this model because that's been
- 4:48around Thousands of years, but they named it you know, they named it and
- 4:53codified it and explained how it works, you know and and Made that their pot
- 4:58made their podcast a a value for value operation for the past 18 years is
- 5:02amazing These guys were able to you know support themselves doing this is kind
- 5:06of a testament. So
- 5:08No simultaneous sip for Scott Adams tonight.
- 5:11We'll bring that back. But you know a toast to John and
- 5:16Everything he gave the world This is to John.
- 5:19Everybody take a drink.
- 5:25I got through it guys. I did it not bad
- 5:30Alright, so if you miss the pre-show I showed you how I lit how I light my
- 5:35office here for the live stream and I
- 5:39said I got through it, but I
- 5:43Think somebody's maybe slicing some onions in the kitchen over there, which
- 5:47would be really weird I think somebody's maybe slicing some onions in the
- 5:49kitchen over there, which would be really weird Because nobody's home but me
- 5:53So if you missed it before the pre-show I showed how I light my studio I turn I
- 5:57had all the lights off and I fired.
- 5:59This thing up basically in the dark and fired up all my Office lights to show

- 6:43sleep. There you go. Be a good kitty
- 6:46No problem, Mike. I was watching old man copper 2 before this live stream.
- 6:50So No problem. Oh, buddy. Let's make sure I don't get too lost on the Yes, not
- 6:57iced tea seal. It's Publix tea.
- 6:59It's Publix. You know what?
- 7:01I got I got the I got the gallon over here the actual name is
- 7:07Publix deli diet sweet brewed iced tea That's
- 7:13a that's a mouthful. I should memorize it Publix deli diet sweet brewed iced tea
- 7:19not much left in there. I brought that in here so that when my Thermos my Yeti
- 7:25goes low. I can just refill her there
- 7:28It's Publix tea and very good Yeah, you guys with some really nice comments and
- 7:33tributes to I John that's very nice JCD the they they called him buzzkill.
- 7:38His nickname was buzz. Buzzkill Adam and John are crackpot and buzzkill
- 7:44Gerald he says I trust you on this one.
- 7:46He sounds like a nice guy, right?
- 7:48Yeah Well, thank you guys every much for the encouragement there.
- 7:51Yeah, it was It was a rough day the they send out a
- 7:57newsletter the day before the podcast and Today's newsletter had that bad news
- 8:03in it. So I was not happy as you can imagine Lost Scott Scott Adams this past
- 8:09whatever it was February March April something like that and found a new podcast
- 8:15And now John's passed away to man b R.
- 8:19Well, hey check this out I wanted to show this to you guys.
- 8:22I have simplified my poster art and Maybe I should maybe I should try to move my
- 8:29face over a little bit so you can see this There we go So on the left is the way
- 8:33the poster art which you know This poster art shows up in my stickers and it
- 8:37shows up on my channel and it shows up on the magnets And I use it on all kinds
- 8:41of stuff It was pretty crowded and pretty cluttered and on the right you can see
- 8:47the Simplified version of that.
- 8:49Oh if if Ally was here, this is for her There we go.
- 8:53Flip my hair out for her So on the right you can see it's a bit simplified.
- 8:58I removed some of the graphic elements that were confusing You know, I had like
- 9:02newspapers on there and I had some thumbs- up icons that went away.
- 9:07There was like a radio tower at the top I Had a ww at the
- 9:13top for winning the week, but that's superfluous so I moved value for value up
- 9:18to the top as you can see and I added with Scott all because the official name
- 9:22of the channel and the podcast is winning the week with Scott all and As you can
- 9:27see the love joy Peace patience all that stuff is still there, but it's moved
- 9:32around a little bit and I added Livestream and podcast and I did update the URL
- 9:38at the bottom but I wanted to emphasize.
- 9:41I wanted to emphasize that Livestream and podcast and if you can't tell that
- 9:47WTW right in the middle gained just a little bit of radical radical 80s
- 9:52coolness, it's just slightly cooler and Those of my Gen X peeps know why that's
- 9:59cool
- 10:01So Let's see here. I'm gonna take a peek at the I'm gonna take a peek at the
- 10:06chat. Yes, Catherine thumbs down works We currently have one thumb up so so so
- 10:12so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so
- 10:15so What happened to the system if we got negative Thumbs
- 10:21ups would would actually show up as a negative number.
- 10:24I don't know we've never seen it's never happened Pops was on with copper Mike
- 10:28was in with copper. I was watching the copper old man copper It's got a pretty
- 10:32good live stream and his is right before mine But I was also watching
- 10:37Catherine's excellent live stream who's on an hour before me and she's right
- 10:41after Daniel Daniel's on at 6 Catherine's on at 7 watched the end of Copper
- 10:47there and of course I had to come over here in time for my pre-show at about 5
- 10:52minutes till I Granny you don't have to tell us when you're back and forth and
- 10:58you're in and out that's okay You know nobody really has to announce when they
- 11:01leave if you don't want to you don't have to tell people you're leaving You can
- 11:04just duck in and duck out.
- 11:06That's the nice thing about a live stream You can always catch up later or watch
- 11:10the replay or jump in and jump out Nobody really has to tell anybody that that's
- 11:15happening, you know Mike says trekking with Deb and Mike.
- 11:18I can't wait to watch your newest video with the hot air balloons Haven't had a
- 11:22chance yet. Wow, that's cool Won't take back his thumbs up.
- 11:26All right. Well, we're never gonna get to negative because Fred won't take his
- 11:30thumbs down So why don't everybody go ahead and thumbs up if you want his thumbs
- 11:34up it? That's cool
- 11:37Jen says I'm still upset about Scott Adams passing such an intelligent man.
- 11:40I'm listening to his book loser think Not right now.
- 11:43Of a course. Yeah, obviously not right now You know, um, that was a really
- 11:48encouraging comment. You left me the other day jenny on Or should I say
- 11:52wednesday or eight six seven five three.
- 11:55Oh nine. I think you need some more nicknames Um, you left me a comment the
- 11:58other day on my i'm embarrassing myself on purpose And you said scott adams
- 12:03would be proud of me and that was so encouraging.
- 12:06I really I mean it really warmed my heart, you know um, so Thanks Fred
- 12:12says I feel that strongly about it about the thumbs down.
- 12:15Well, he doesn't know Fred doesn't know about the thumbs down experiment and my
- 12:19strongly held belief that YouTube doesn't care if you got thumbs ups or thumbs
- 12:24downs, they just care that you got engagement so You know You can do the
- 12:31thumbs up and refuse to do the thumbs down But it doesn't hurt a channel if you
- 12:34do thumbs down or you do thumbs up YouTube just don't care as long as you do a
- 12:39thumb something just do some kind of reaction.
- 12:42That's what it cares about
- 12:44Rhonda no longer does live streams on wednesday night says mike.
- 12:49Okay Uh, I did not know that but thanks for sharing bud very good
- 12:56So this week's journey i've been doing these weekly videos on mondays now, I
- 13:02think i've done
- 13:04Six of them Seven of them something like that It's hard to remember because
- 13:08there's the one that's published on monday But there's also the one that I
- 13:12started recording this week that i'm halfway through that you'll see next week
- 13:15And I can never remember which one is out and which one's done.
- 13:17So
- 13:20But anyway the video that came out this past monday is about goodness
- 13:25And you know, I made a point in that video that nobody's the bad guy in their
- 13:29own story, you know and talking a little bit about You know the idea of goodness
- 13:34what being good is what quality what's what's a quality person?
- 13:38What's it mean to be a good person?
- 13:40What does, does it mean to try to be a good person and nobody's actually You
- 13:45know born good. We we teach our children to be good because.
- 13:49Because we're all born with this Human nature that's you know negative and we
- 13:53train ourselves out of that, you know so
- 13:58Um, yeah, I thought it was a good video it You know it it got some traction so
- 14:02far It's only been out a few days and I think it's got 50 views R or something
- 14:05after two days So that's not bad after a monday tuesday wednesday It's not bad.
- 14:11Um about the same as all of these videos i've done on these.
- 14:14Um What would you call these presided these are
- 14:18abstract ideas I did one about the idea of joy and I didn't want about the idea
- 14:22of trying to find love and You know getting out of peace things like that, right
- 14:27and Uh, they're all doing about the same, you know, uh, a little bit less than
- 14:32100 views each I think I don't know if it's necessarily something that the whole
- 14:36world wants to watch
- 14:38but um I see you behind me wanting to get on my lap my lap a little booger
- 14:44little kitty cat Um, and she comes wandering over
- 14:50but um These you know, I don't think these videos are necessarily the something
- 14:55the world is Dying to watch, but I think it might be helping some people the
- 14:59comment section Um, i'm getting like at least as many comments as I am views So
- 15:04that signals to me that people are interested in talking about these subjects
- 15:08and these topics So, you know, i'm gonna i'm gonna finish them out I have a few
- 15:13more ideas of things to talk about probably two more topics for two more weeks
- 15:18so
- 15:20Yeah, that's that's often of those out Um, but you know paired with that Paired
- 15:26with that is these Are these videos i've been doing for rob the meritimer's
- 15:31challenge? Okay He's got this challenge the put yourself out there challenge.
- 15:35If you don't know rob the meritimer He's the youtube coach And he's grow
- 15:41their youtube channel or start a youtube channel And he did a challenge for this
- 15:47month asking people to put out three videos over four weeks to go public
- 15:53And a lot of people are trying to challenge now I had already been putting out
- 15:57videos with my face on it So I decided to push myself, harder and do things that
- 16:01were More embarrassing for me and intentionally embarrassing myself, which is
- 16:05what jenny was responding to and
- 16:10You know, these videos actually are doing better, you know So I went to a much
- 16:15more crowded mall one that granny said she had even been to before.
- 16:18It's a really humongous mall down here called Sawgrass mills is one of the mills
- 16:23malls. If you're familiar with gurney mills or um What's the one in philadelphia
- 16:29called?
- 16:33Dagnabbit The one in washing d.c.
- 16:36Is called potomac mills And the one in Wow, fidelpha, philadelphia.
- 16:42I can't remember now. There's one in philadelphia.
- 16:43There's one in illinois gurney mills anyway, these mills malls are just gigantic
- 16:48humongous massive mill malls and This is ours down here.
- 16:52It's really crowded really packed And so I walked around and it felt
- 16:56claustrophobic and difficult talking in front of all these people You know
- 17:00recording my video right in front of all these people But it wasn't the first
- 17:04one the last week was the one before that and that was the really hard one This
- 17:07one was easier because i've kind of learned the trick Of sort of talking without
- 17:11making eye contact to anybody in the crowd As I walk through the crowd and just
- 17:15walk amongst them if I don't make eye contact with them I don't feel quite so
- 17:19embarrassed by them, you know
- 17:21So, you know that's going pretty good.
- 17:24Um, here's the funny thing, right this embarrassment challenge These videos are
- 17:29doing better than my regular videos So if you look at the video at the bottom,
- 17:33are you anxious and then working your way up from the bottom?
- 17:37Is love missing from your life?
- 17:39When's the last time you felt joy?
- 17:41I'm out of peace Impatience is destroying my week.
- 17:45They'll mistake your kindness for weakness Being good enough is, you know, being
- 17:49good isn't good enough. These, these are getting You know 60 90 70 One of them
- 17:55went over 100 but in the 60 70 80 range, right?
- 17:59But these other videos about embarrassing myself on purpose That 171
- 18:05I think it's like this is an older screenshot from earlier in the day I think it
- 18:09might be up to 175 and they just came out yesterday humiliating myself on.
- 18:15Purpose and it's working Is it's at 40 right now?
- 18:19Whereas the one that came out the day before
- 18:22I think it's at 50. So here's what I think On youtube people like to watch other
- 18:28people suffer That's my pet theory.
- 18:31That's my that's my theory That's my story and i'm sticking to it People like to
- 18:35watch other people suffer it when they see it when they see a video title like
- 18:39i'm embarrassing myself on purpose I'm humiliating myself on purpose Uh, you're
- 18:45basically telling people who see this Video offered to them.
- 18:49Hey, you want to watch somebody flagellate themselves and make their life
- 18:52difficult and You want to see somebody going through hard times and doing
- 18:55something hard or Doing something uncomfortable or you want to see somebody not
- 19:00happy and just you know Discombobulated come on into this video and people click
- 19:04it as you can see 171 I think is 175
- 19:09clicks Versus the one right before it which is 65.
- 19:13So You know by golly, it's almost triple the number of people who click it and
- 19:18say yeah, show me somebody uncomfortable Show money somebody not having fun.
- 19:22I want to watch that So that's my pet theory is people like to watch other
- 19:27people suffer
- 19:29Or maybe that's not the best way to word it.
- 19:31There might be a better way to say it but um people like to People like to
- 19:38watch somebody being uncomfortable and I definitely made myself uncomfortable
- 19:44All right, you guys are having a cookie conversation in here.
- 19:47Let's see what everybody's talking about
- 19:51Tyler think it does something what he means here is he thinks that thumbs
- 19:54downing does do something to a channel negative But I don't think it hurts your
- 19:58channel. You can think it hurts the channel if you want to You can think
- 20:02whatever you want. Tyler It's a free country, my man Um, how's the second
- 20:07channel going? Tyler you opened up a second channel called going through it or
- 20:11something like that Rough going through it or trying to get through it or
- 20:14something like that. How are things going on the second channel?
- 20:17Tell you what? It's brave starting up a second channel.
- 20:19It takes a lot of extra time And you know you're facing double the negativity
- 20:24and double the disappointing views and double the Stress of starting a new
- 20:28channel from scratch doing a new channel when your first channel is still new
- 20:33And isn't off the ground yet kudos, man kudos
- 20:38um You know hypothetically I might have a secret second channel
- 20:47But hypothetically I'm not focusing on it hypothetically if I put a video up on
- 20:53it, it's like every three to four months
- 20:56hypothetically
- 20:57Uh, it just got monetized, but i'm not putting i'm not doing anything with it
- 21:02It's actually hypothetically if it existed if there was a second channel that I
- 21:06was doing hypothetically
- 21:09I think it might be doing better than this channel, but it's not my focus.
- 21:12My focus is this channel This is the channel where i'm trying to help everybody
- 21:15and so this channel. I want to help the world and change the world That other
- 21:20hypothetical if I even did start another channel
- 21:24It's not it's not anything So I see ben showed up here with a very interesting
- 21:31new face Says hello everyone.
- 21:33This is not ben. This is a cookie monster.
- 21:35Ben is busy cooking me cookies, but he wanted me to josh Scott's livestream

- 22:54fell off. That's funny ben.
- 22:56You're a character man And then ben says our cookie monster says me and ben said
- 23:01thank you say. Thank you. Yes.
- 23:03Ben was smart to keep that in the video.
- 23:06That's so funny
- 23:09You r guys are killing me Catherine says unfortunately, that is true.
- 23:14People like to see that stuff.
- 23:15Yeah negative stuff exactly and amigories.
- 23:18That's sad But true people do like negative stuff on youtube, right?
- 23:27So,
- 23:29um, and that's kind of negative and uncomfortable.
- 23:31Maybe people will like it.
- 23:32So maybe Maybe i'll keep up, you know after I finish the last two videos of this
- 23:36other series I've been working on chewing my throat way through it I think i
- 23:40only got two more weeks to go after this one Maybe i'll keep doing these
- 23:44challenge style videos where I challenge myself since rob's challenge will be
- 23:48over Maybe i'll just keep on doing videos in which I challenge myself to do
- 23:52something uncomfortable Forcing myself to embarrass-myself and forcing myself to
- 23:56do uncomfortable things. That's I don't know that'd be an interesting niche,
- 24:01wouldn't it?
- 24:04And mike says Old man copper.
- 24:07Hello. You had another good live stream.
- 24:09Oh, is copper in here? Yeah copper's here.

- 24:40look like they were about to pop Their bodies look like they were glistening and
- 24:44popping with muscle bound.
- 24:45It was cool But your boy old man copper there.
- 24:48He was uh, he was jacked Back in the day.
- 24:51He's still pretty darn jacked.
- 24:53I wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley on a bad mood I would want old
- 24:57man copper on my side. Good thing is he's one of the good guys So i'm not too
- 25:01worried about it But boy, I tell you he's still jacked, but you guys should have
- 25:05seen him back in the day. Oh my great It was uh, it was pretty crazy Daniel says
- 25:11I have a second channel, but I stopped posting to it
- 25:15Cool that's good to know and ceo was the only one who watched it.
- 25:19That's funny. Well, hello tracy How is it going?
- 25:22How's baby opal doing? Amy says I know I was thinking of a second channel.
- 25:27I learned so much. I can grow quicker I suppose that is the benefit.
- 25:31I guess if you do a second channel everything you've learned on your first
- 25:34channel You can apply those lessons and maybe come out of the gate a little bit
- 25:38harder and a little bit faster.
- 25:39I suppose so Maybe that would make fun Ben in his cookie monster persona
- 25:46says yes cookie monster's friend elmo gets sad that people like negative stuff
- 25:50so much
- 26:13Challenge for three videos is over.
- 26:16Maybe i'll just continue pushing myself to do difficult hard things that I don't
- 26:21like, you know

- 29:36pickup truck shirt that I bought from the youtuber David fryburger and the shirt
- 29:42entered me in his giveaway to win his 1967 pickup truck
- 29:48But some guy named ron in arizona won it.
- 29:51I did not win it, but I got the shirt and then also Ben might be talking about
- 29:58my orange sleeve here, which as you notice Only one of them is long, right?
- 30:02So it's actually not part of the shirt
- 30:05That's a separate. It's a compression sleeve and i've been struggling with my
- 30:09elbow. You guys, um Everything I everything i've been able to read and figure
- 30:14out what i'm feeling on my elbow tells me it's something along the lines of
- 30:17tennis elbow
- 30:31So i've been doing these tennis elbow specific stretches, which does help kind
- 30:37of just doing that several times throughout the day And then trying not to
- 30:43overuse the arm. So like I mean, this is only 36 ounces of Diet sweet tea, but I
- 30:49put it on my left side because I don't need to be Doing those curls those
- 30:53massive curls Like our men And
- 30:57Popper does Um, I gotta I gotta rest this elbow until that pain starts to go
- 31:02away So let's get back to it.
- 31:04You guys i'm getting off track here.
- 31:06I'm going down a rabbit hole the commenter And encourager of the week this week
- 31:13The commenter of the week is named smiling.
- 31:16Oma And on my being-good video smiling oma wrote Hi there Really liked what you
- 31:23said about we don't see ourselves as the bad guys in our own stories and it
- 31:27applies to the turds in our Lives or that we may encounter as well.
- 31:31They don't see themselves as the bad guys in their own stories Somehow that
- 31:35point of view helps in a weird way.
- 31:37I'm going to remember that going forward I really enjoyed hearing about your
- 31:41perspectives on the ethics of goodness and being kind and doing the right thing
- 31:44A lot of the things you shared or what some of your viewers have shared resonate
- 31:49with me, too I do both parking further away for the exercise as well as parking
- 31:53next to the cart collector.
- 31:54It's just the furthest one out It was indeed harder as a parent with small kids,
- 31:59but I managed to still be kind to return my carts even with my kids I think, as
- 32:03someone said down in the comments here, the golden rule is something.
- 32:06I live by treating people how I want to be treated And I ronly dislike wanting
- 32:10to park in a spot only to have a cart there So I don't want ever to
- 32:13inconvenience someone else like that.
- 32:16Oh, by the way, the green flash is dope af I had the pleasure of seeing it on my
- 32:21coast in cal the fornia one One summer evening and it was the perfect way to end
- 32:25a magical day Hope you and everyone here has a fantastic week So that was a
- 32:31really nice extremely excellent comment and they are our commenter of the week
- 32:35Thank you smiling oma. What I want to point out to the rest of you Is that
- 32:39smiling oma wasn't just touched by the content of my video Smiling oma was
- 32:44touched By the comments that you left down below in that video You can
- 32:51see what smiling oma here says and I think going by their avatar picture.
- 32:55It's a lady. Um, she says Where is it?
- 32:59Yes I was Harder as a parent with small kids, but I managed to still be kind of
- 33:05return my carts I think as someone said down in the comments here, the golden
- 33:09rule is something I live. Well, blah blah blah so Yeah, this is important You
- 33:15guys as I talk about value for value and saying if you get any value out of the
- 33:19live stream or the videos Return value to me It's not just about doing the
- 33:24memberships or the donations like dana just bought five memberships.
- 33:28For you guys It's also the comments you leave in the live stream and it's the
- 33:33comments you leave in the videos The return value back to this channel.
- 33:37It's an even exchange so Those of you guys who left comments here for smiling
- 33:42oma You really encouraged her if it's a her, it's kind of hard-to-tell.
- 33:48It's a very tiny little comic Cartoon but maybe thing so what about the
- 33:52encourager of the week? Well, the encourager of the week is sitting right here
- 33:56in the comments with us you guys Santa fred adventures.
- 34:00You are the encourager of the week
- 34:03on that same video
- 34:06you wrote
- 34:11I had many struggles in my early childhood with being exposed to violence in the
- 34:15home abuse neglect and abandonment I quickly grew into a very unpredictable and
- 34:19violent child that imposed this on the people around me for many years into my
- 34:24early childhood or adulthood My sisters and I were just joking last night about
- 34:29how bad I was growing up Alcohol and drugs.
- 34:32I started when I was 11 allowed me to toss any inhibitions That may have been
- 34:36present into the garbage and the fact I never ended up in prison or dead is
- 34:40nothing short of a miracle I suppose my career in working in human services for
- 34:46the past 36 years has helped me get Back to more of a peaceful existence and
- 34:50learn empathy which continues to be a struggle for me at times When I had
- 34:55children and they were old enough to understand I was honest with them about the
- 34:58mistakes I had made and they seemed to have heeded my warnings They are much
- 35:03better people than I was at their age So I agree when children are taught
- 35:07nothing but violence and hate at a young age is very difficult to overcome that
- 35:12But I'm a living example of how it isn't impossible So thanks for posting this
- 35:17And I want you to know that sometimes when we post a topic it It can hit closer
- 35:21to home for some people than we are aware of So you guys how encouraged how
- 35:27encouraging is that you guys?
- 35:28Thank you Fred for posting that Thank you for sharing this with us in your
- 35:32honesty. Thank you for the vulnerability and transparency to show this side of
- 35:38yourself in the comments and Hope it didn't embarrass you too much But you are
- 35:43definitely my encourager of the week, and I really appreciate you my man.
- 35:46Thank you so much Thank you a lot.
- 35:48Thank you. All right, let's see what the chat is saying.

- 36:00Everybody's saying yay, Dana And I see mike is using the custom emojis
- 36:06That members get. To use if you become a member or if you're gifted a
- 36:10membership, there's a bunch of cool A bunch of cool emojis down there for you to
- 36:15play with in the chat
- 36:19and Dana says I have a video for a cookie monster cookie.
- 36:24That's funny and Cookie monster still still acting in the cookie monster
- 36:29persona. Ben says me gonna have to go find that video.
- 36:32That's funny
- 36:34Yeah, if cookie monster ate cookies, would it be self cannibalism?
- 36:38Good question. I don't know very funny El copper's laughing at me from my tennis
- 36:44elbow. I don't play tennis, but that's what it's called That's just a name for
- 36:48him. I don't know why they name it.
- 36:49That is the name for inflamed tendons tendons right
- 36:55There there's like three tendons that come Off of this guy and go on to this guy
- 37:00and they come down here But the weird thing is you can feel the pain down here
- 37:04Even though it's the tendons up here that are really sore and really hurt.
- 37:07You still feel pain down here It's very strange.
- 37:09I don't know But you can laugh at me.
- 37:11That's fine. I laugh at myself, too
- 37:14Congrats to smiling oma totally cool.
- 37:18Yep
- 37:19Oh, it's alley here. Oh, how's alley?
- 37:22How's, is it going? This is for you.
- 37:24Who. Just for you alley
- 37:28Everybody's saying hi to alley very cool
- 37:42Everyone is having a great night Very good.
- 37:45Glad to have you back ben.
- 37:47Uh, try not to let that guy near the keyboard anymore though pretty crazy And
- 37:52then everybody's saying how nice fred's comment was excellent kudos fred
- 37:58Miss them like the hair flip
- 38:02Alley you missed so much stuff, but I think we're doing thumbs up tonight I
- 38:06think we're doing thumbs up because uh fred refuses to do thumbs downs, which
- 38:10means we're never officially going to get down to um Never officially going to
- 38:15get down to negative numbers.
- 38:17So if we can't actually get to negative numbers, there's no point So we might as
- 38:20well do thumbs up Uh, jenny says the medical term is
- 38:26Epicondylide, you know, I read that when I was doing the research and trying to
- 38:30figure out what was up with me I read that word and just read right past it
- 38:33because there's a much easier name for it So they want to call it tennis elbow
- 38:37for a guy who hasn't played tennis in his entire life.
- 38:40That's fine They can call it that I just know it's Sometimes for some people
- 38:44it's the tendons themselves that are inflamed and for some people It's a nerve
- 38:49getting pinched in the tendons and for some people it's both but the good thing
- 38:53is stretching And not overworking it and compressing it works for either
- 39:00one
- 39:01So hopefully it'll get fixed on its own in a little while and I won't have to do
- 39:04anything about it
- 39:06Dan's talking about a new super troopers movie.
- 39:10I don't know what super troopers is
- 39:13Um
- 39:15Ben says I never got into super troopers.
- 39:17It should be something I would like is my type of humor Have you ever watched
- 39:20Reno 911 though? I remember Reno 911, but I don't think I even know what super
- 39:27trooper is
- 39:30funny You guys talking about the movie?
- 39:33Okay, that's good. Excellent
- 39:36Miss M's gonna change hers to thumbs up.
- 39:38Everybody hit thumbs up. That's cool
- 39:41And ben says itis means inflammation.
- 39:44I didn't know that if you see itis, does it always mean inflammation?
- 39:48That's cool So face itis means your face is inflamed ben face itis

- 42:29C is for cookie. That's good enough for me

- 42:37Says jen i'm sure I can confirm but that is what I thought okay And I don't know
- 42:43why So you guys are saying You guys are saying quotes and references.
- 42:48I have no idea like one liter of cola I don't know what that is.
- 42:51I'm sure that's from the tv show.
- 42:52I never saw so okay
- 42:54And then ben says heck Ria good song.
- 42:57I love abba. My favorite are probably chiquita or boulee vous That's pretty
- 43:03funny Ben's got some new wheels room room By the way ben, you said you
- 43:09wanted to call me scotty in one of your comments on one of my videos help
- 43:12yourself buddy I have been scotty my entire life.
- 43:15So i'm happy to be scotty to anybody who needs to call me scotty
- 43:21Uh, listen tyler you say you need a macbook pro wait
- 43:26Because september the new hardware is coming out.
- 43:29So don't buy anything before september.
- 43:31Wait till they announce the new hardware And then when you do buy it Go through
- 43:36my amazon link. So I get the affiliate cash on that bad boy.
- 43:40That's what uh mike's adventure sparks when he bought his laptop Earlier this
- 43:44year. He went through my affiliate link and I got like a 30 tip on that and it
- 43:48didn't cost him anything extra, man
- 43:52CL says my computer chair is a 15 year old lazy boy executive chair.
- 43:57It was worth the money We'll buy once cry once right you buy the good stuff up
- 44:01front and it lasts your entire lifetime And you never have to buy again You buy
- 44:06the cheap stuff telling yourself you tell yourself that i'll buy the cheap one
- 44:09And I can always buy another one in a few years what a pain in the butt And I
- 44:13know that some people say well, I could have bought five of those I could have
- 44:16bought five of those for the really nice price, you know And if I have to
- 44:19replace it five times in 10 years, it's still worth it But what you're not
- 44:23counting when you do that is the frustration when something breaks at the worst
- 44:27possible time And then you got to go replace it and then you got to go Um
- 44:34Go through the process of finding another one and try to pick the one out and
- 44:38find the best deal just buy high quality the first time and
- 44:45You're good you're set for life, so this lazy boy Executive chair 15 years ago.
- 44:50She's probably going to have it rocking it for another 15 years, you know, so
- 44:55Ali i'm glad you like my t-shirt.
- 44:57Thank you very much That's the truck I want to buy truck I want to get I will
- 45:01find one someday. Oh, yes It will be mine.
- 45:04Oh, yes Oh, yes, it will be mine
- 45:08We talked about uh, we talked about the truck too a little while ago.
- 45:11I think right before you got here Tyler says super troopers, man, you got to
- 45:16watch it Nope, I don't know about it.
- 45:18Sorry now scott. He doesn't know I do know about yeah So next year the macbook,
- 45:23uh, this is tyler talking Yes, the macbook m6 and next year is the touch screen.
- 45:28I never really wanted a touch screen for a laptop because I can't stand when
- 45:33there's fingerprints on my laptop Or my computer monitor And I mean I keep I
- 45:39keep these Zeiss lens wipes right here Right here in my bag here because
- 45:45i'm always making sure any little any little smudge or anything on my laptop
- 45:50screen Or my main screen you can get a pack of I think 200 of these for six
- 45:55dollars Like at am Rezone or walmart or something.
- 45:58This should be my tip of the day these things here They're good for eyeglasses,
- 46:01but they're great for computer screens
- 46:04And I guess iphone screen stuff like that, too I do not want Want to touch
- 46:08screen on a macbook you can get one.
- 46:10I just I mean, I just probably won't be touching it
- 46:14Personal preference. Everybody's different, you know
- 46:18Miss em says apple products are not my favorite
- 46:24And ben goes alley your face loves this t-shirt.
- 46:26Yes, exactly. You have face itis your inflamed face itis.

- 46:39Get a glass of water And uh drink a glass of water.
- 46:43I know you're probably trying to stay hydrated already.
- 46:45I'm sure you're already working on that
- 46:47But hopefully that headache gets out of here girl.

- 48:55If you wanna be called in the in the display name field and prove that you're
- 48:59over. I think you gotta be the over 16 or something to get in a discord and hop
- 49:03in there once you come in.
- 49:06I'll get notified that you're there and you'll only be able to see the welcome
- 49:09room until I turn on permission for you to see the rest
- 49:13of
- 49:23the chat and food and pictures and memes and shout out requests and
- 49:28announcements.
- 49:30So, wait for me to turn on your permissions and then when you get in, we'll have
- 49:33a good time and hang out together which will be a blast.
- 49:40Alright, let me not let this chat get it too far away from me.
- 49:45Jen says, I used to use, I used those on my microscope at work.
- 49:50I'm assuming you must be meaning touchscreen, touchscreen computers.
- 49:55Is that what you used on your microscope?
- 49:58CL says, I don't want a touchscreen.
- 50:00I love my wide screen monitor.
- 50:01Yeah, me too. I've got my laptop over here right under the camera but the only
- 50:07thing on the screen of my laptop right now R is my presentation.
- 50:11So, when I show you guys my screen of whatever I'm talking about, whenever I
- 50:15share my screen like when I do this right here, that's running on my laptop.
- 50:22But right here which is like the cameras there but right here, I've got a big
- 50:27old Gigantor monitor and I can see all your comments and everything much easier,
- 50:31much nicer. That's my daily work on it, computer monitor.
- 50:34So, I'm with you, Pam. I want to monitor.
- 50:38Oh, use. I see. When Jen said, I use those on my microscope.
- 50:42She's talking about those wipes.
- 50:43I'm sorry. I miss that. I miss that.
- 50:45I understand because now Mike says, I use those lens cleaners for everything.
- 50:54Okay. So, when he said that, that's when I realized what Jenny's talking about
- 50:58on the microscope. She uses those.
- 51:00Yep, excellent.
- 51:02And Pam says, I have a touchscreen laptop but I never used the feature.
- 51:05Yeah, that would be me. If I bought one that had it, I wouldn't use it.
- 51:08I would look for a way to disable it.
- 51:10So, I didn't accidentally, accidentally bump it actually, you know.
- 51:13Hey, did you guys notice I didn't shave tonight?
- 51:16This is not really showing up on the live stream.
- 51:18This right here, I usually shave this side but I'm growing back the big beard.
- 51:22So, I have to wait for this to come in a little bit.
- 51:24I have to go through the itchy phase.
- 51:26And when it catches up a little bit, then I can trim this part down and match
- 51:30it. It'll all be full beard again.
- 51:32So, that's what's happening there.
- 51:33If you happen to notice that I didn't shave over here.
- 51:35It's not because I don't love you.
- 51:37It's because intentional.
- 51:39One thing I said in whose live stream did I say this in?
- 51:42Catherine's or somebody?
- 51:45No. Whose live stream were we in?
- 51:47Otis's. We were in Otis's live stream today and I said, I should, I should cut
- 51:53this into a mullet. We should just cut the whole front, trim it all short and
- 51:59make it a mullet and back.
- 52:00That'd be a blast. I got, I, I got enough long enough hair that I can have the
- 52:03greatest mullet of all time, right?
- 52:07Ben says his kitty cat is saying hi.
- 52:10Very good. My kitty cat got tired.
- 52:12Tired of trying to fight me to get up on my lap and she's sleeping on the floor
- 52:17underneath the desk, but not in her cool basket for whatever reason, but that's
- 52:22okay.
- 52:25Mike says yes. Come on over to Discord and you know, the joke.
- 52:28Come on over to the dark side.
- 52:29We have cookies. Well, we really do have cookies in Discord because Dana keep
- 52:33posting pictures of them all the time.
- 52:35Hey, Ron. Good to see you again, man.
- 52:37How's it going? That was really fun to see you on the live stream today with
- 52:41Otis there with Mike and I think you were the one encouraging me to do the
- 52:46mullet. So yeah, it's not going to happen, but it would be super cool if I did.
- 52:50That would be like a lot of fun.
- 52:52That would be a blast. CL's lazy cat is sleeping on top of her painting card.
- 52:58That's funny. That's pretty cool.
- 53:01And Amy says yes,
- 53:03it looks like you're getting me out of Discord.
- 53:04Most of the time surf shark is great, but man, it sucks at random.
- 53:07So your VPN was knocking you out of Discord.
- 53:10Okay. Well, come on back in.
- 53:12We want to see you in there again, Amy.
- 53:14Hey, just a reminder to everybody.
- 53:17I got stickers. I got awesome stickers and I would love it if you would click
- 53:23the link in the description and I, you know, fill out the form so I know, I know
- 53:28where I can send you some free stickers.
- 53:30Look, I got some right here I can show you.
- 53:32This is a magnet.
- 53:35This is a sticker. This is a sticker with my beautiful face on it.
- 53:41Here's a sticker with my name on it.
- 53:43I will send you guys magnets and stickers.
- 53:45And I also have still, to this day, some of my older magnets and stickers from
- 53:52what the channel used to be called before I changed the name of the channel.
- 53:56So I'll probably throw those in the envelope too.
- 53:59So fill out the form in the video description so I can send you some free
- 54:03stickers and I won't spam you.
- 54:06I don't do a newsletter. I won't email you about anything.
- 54:09I just need an address to send it.
- 54:11I got the stamps right here in the drawer ready to go.
- 54:14Just waiting, just waiting for you to tell me where to send you some stickers
- 54:19and be like Jenny. Jenny sent a video and showed me where she stuck it.
- 54:24So let me know where you're sticking my face.
- 54:26I want to know where my face is somewhere around this great country and have a
- 54:32good time like that. Just a reminder, like I said at the top of the channel, the
- 54:38top of the live stream at the beginning we were talking about JCD and his
- 54:42untimely passing. We talked about value for value.
- 54:54So just throw everything out there and let you see everything.
- 54:58And you decide if you got any value out of it, then you can decide you want to
- 55:02return time, talent, and treasure.
- 55:06Not time, talent or treasure because you guys donate your time and your talent
- 55:12in all different kinds of ways.
- 55:15Think about it, right? You spend time in the comments here in the live stream.
- 55:20You show up for the live stream and give you the watch hours.
- 55:24You leave all these awesome comments in the live stream and on the videos.
- 55:28Your talent, you give us this, like when Jenny told me the official name of
- 55:34Tennis Elbow. And then Ben said, itis means
- 55:39inflammation.
- 55:42That is talent. That's boots on the ground knowledge, you guys.
- 55:46Your ideas, the conversations we have, you give me great ideas for videos.
- 55:49That's all incredible value for value.
- 55:52And of course, if you would like to transfer some of your, great wealth my way,
- 55:58you can donate using the donate.winningtheweek.org link, which simply takes
- 56:05you straight over to buy me a coffee where you can decide I want to give this
- 56:08guy 50 cents. Want to give him two bucks.
- 56:11I want to buy him a new gallon of Publix deli diet, brewed sweet tea.
- 56:17It's like $3 or something.
- 56:20You want to buy me one of those.
- 56:21You want to give me a thousand bucks.
- 56:23That's totally fine. You want to pay off my house, whatever you want to donate.
- 56:26I will not stop you. Whatever you guys want to do.
- 56:28We also have the 99 set memberships on YouTube, which is a great way to show
- 56:33your love. And if you want really easy way that doesn't cost you anything is if
- 56:37you click my Amazon affiliate link in the video description and then go shop for
- 56:43something else. If you're going to buy something anyway, if you're already
- 56:46thinking about buying something on YouTube,
- 56:50buying something anyway on Amazon, go through my link to get to Amazon and then
- 56:54go look for what you want.
- 56:55It doesn't cost you anything extra, but those sellers do kick a tip over my way.
- 57:02I think it's like 5% or my way.
- 57:03I think it's like 5% or something.
- 57:04So, you know, you buy,
- 57:06excuse me, buy something for a dollar.
- 57:10I get a nickel and it comes out of the seller's profit.
- 57:13It doesn't cost you anything extra.
- 57:15So, and I have a merch shop, shop.winningtheweek.org, where I've got some cool
- 57:20merchandise over there.
- 57:23Why don't we quickly knock out our shout outs because I it is getting to be up
- 57:29towards nine o'clock. And as you saw me yawn just right there.
- 57:33Ali's afraid that if we went with the mullet, she wouldn't get the hair flip.
- 57:37I wouldn't be able to go whoop.
- 57:39So that's probably true. Yeah, that's a good point.
- 57:42I'm saying my stickers are awesome.
- 57:44I saw your video and that you got my stickers in the mail.
- 57:47Some of you guys all should have got stickers recently.
- 57:50I emailed out new stickers when I made the new ones.
- 57:53I should have. I believe I sent it to everybody who's ever got stickers.
- 57:56I have all your addresses who's ever gotten me one.
- 57:58So, very cool.
- 58:01Ron says I just got done doing a live interview.
- 58:03Cool. And that's going
- 58:05to
- 58:21be the end of the video. If you have a comment, you're officially a producer and
- 58:22I'll give you a shout out.
- 58:24I'll list you in the show notes as a producer of the show.
- 58:28You guys enable me to continue to make this live stream and podcast and channel
- 58:32with all the videos. And don't forget your producer title entitles you to a
- 58:38shout out for whatever you want.
- 58:40So, I'd be happy to shout out either your family business or your own YouTube
- 58:44channel. Maybe a favorite charity.
- 58:46A new project. You can tell your mom that you says hi.
- 58:50Anything you want. It's your call.
- 58:51You get to write your own note and shout out.
- 58:53Just drop into discord. Hop over to the shout outs channel and tell me what you
- 58:57want me to say about you. We're going to get started on our producer shout outs
- 59:02because I read these every week on the live stream.
- 59:04So, let me start with CL who's got this gorgeous new thumbnail on her latest
- 59:09video.
- 59:11As you all know, because everyone here is a huge fan of CL, the CL Fantasy Waves
- 59:16Art Studio YouTube channel gives us fantasy, art and cats.
- 59:21She's got serene and tranquil videos
- 59:24and
- 59:34that's why Tracy is a great YouTube channel with five beautiful black cats.
- 59:39Koba, Sugar, Oliver, Pepper and Opal.
- 59:42Now, I wonder why the channel's called Koba.oba's Cat Tales.
- 59:45Not Koba, Sugar, Oliver, Pepper and Opal's Cat Tales.
- 59:49Because why does Koba get premier billing up there when all these other kitty
- 59:53cats are here on the channel too.
- 59:55But anyway, Tracy helps us celebrate kindness, positivity and get a daily dose
- 59:59of kitty cuteness. Our good friend Wednesday, our, no, I'm sorry.
- 1:00:04Our good friend, 86753, no, I'm sorry.
- 1:00:07Our good friend, Jenny, no.
- 1:00:11Our good friend, life with Gen X values shows up for Gen X-Xers who are ready to
- 1:00:15move from survival mode, to living in integrity and optimism.
- 1:00:19Exploring how to maintain mental stability without blowing up the life you've
- 1:00:24already built.
- 1:00:26Whoops, I passed right by Ben.
- 1:00:28Ben in Real Life, aka Cookie Monster.
- 1:00:31Welcome to Ben in Real Life.
- 1:00:33You're number one home for Ed Utainment.
- 1:00:36Led by Ben, a teacher of over a decade, a dude with lived mental health
- 1:00:40challenges and a massive lover of entertainment.
- 1:00:43He uses his unique experiences and passion to help you have fun and learn
- 1:00:47something new along the way, just like Cookie Monster.
- 1:00:52Now, Miss M, this is her first shout out, MissM96.
- 1:00:57She said, Hey, welcome to my channel.
- 1:00:59My channel's about spreading mental health, sharing what I go through on a daily
- 1:01:02basis with my anxiety and bipolar depression depression.
- 1:01:06I'd love to share my sweet family pets with you as well.

- 1:01:12I enjoy connecting with other YouTube content creators as well.
- 1:01:17And don't forget, as I said a minute ago, I do have a little merch store,
- 1:01:31shop.
- 1:02:00It's free.org and promo code winning gets you 10% off your entire
- 1:02:06order.
- 1:02:08Continuing with our shout outs, Mike's Adventure Sparks is a really fun member
- 1:02:12in our Discord server, and he makes exciting videos about camping, boating,
- 1:02:16fishing, the workday grind and getting through the week in a friendly and
- 1:02:20optimistic way. Most recently, Mike's been giving some really fun videos on
- 1:02:24taking doggies to the lake and watching them splash around in the water, which
- 1:02:29has been a lot of fun. The Traveling Whitcombs, don't forget the generous
- 1:02:33Brandon and Ashton have gifted many memberships on YouTube on this channel.
- 1:02:39I did add up one time when I think it was like 30 or 40 memberships they had
- 1:02:44handed out to, you know, so many different people here on this channel.
- 1:02:49They're a wonderful part of the Discord family too.
- 1:02:53Brandon is in the Discord all the time, saying hi, being encouraging, asking
- 1:02:57people how their week is going.
- 1:03:00There's a new update on the, they did an update, an update live stream about how
- 1:03:06their life is going. So there's a link to that in the video description and they
- 1:03:09just put out a video about these beautiful waterfalls at, I think it was called
- 1:03:13like Lake Minope or something like that.
- 1:03:29Congratulations on the new job, Big D.
- 1:03:31Everybody was praying for you and pulling for you for all these many months and
- 1:03:35it's so awesome to see you finally get a win on that.
- 1:03:38We knew it was going to happen.
- 1:03:39We knew it was right around the corner.
- 1:03:41And how cool is it that it happened on Sally's birthday, just like she told you
- 1:03:45was going to happen. So my hope is that you keep making videos.
- 1:03:50It was fun to see you making videos about the job search.
- 1:03:53But now that that's over,
- 1:03:56now that that's over, I want to hope you keep making videos because you're
- 1:03:59talking as you're driving videos are a lot of fun and maybe you can make a video
- 1:04:03like as you drive to work on your way home or something.
- 1:04:05That would be really cool.
- 1:04:07Daniel wanted to know what is Surfshark.
- 1:04:09Surfshark is a VPN.
- 1:04:13FlightQuest 40, if you don't know, FlightQuest 40 has a YouTube channel in which
- 1:04:17he does Friday IFR and Wednesday VFR videos.

- 1:04:30Very fun channel.
- 1:04:32And we already heard from Dana, the cookie mom, a few times here.
- 1:04:37So just a reminder, Dana makes excellent baking and cooking videos and she
- 1:04:41started live streaming. She's often got videos with guests in there.
- 1:04:45And the only problem is that her her videos do make me very hungry.
- 1:04:50And her hubby, her wonderful and sweet husband, Glenn, goes by Pearlman One.
- 1:04:57Pearlman One. So Glenn has practical videos on precision shooting.
- 1:05:02I love his reloading videos, talking about working up working up special loads
- 1:05:05for his precision rifles. He's got archery videos, practical hunting lessons in
- 1:05:11the outdoors, and he's just an overall all around good guy.

- 1:05:37great series like her Toxic Workplace series has been really fun and really
- 1:05:42exciting to enjoy watching get through.
- 1:05:44We were just talking about Tyler, the outdoor tennisian.
- 1:05:48Tyler was so crazy that he went camping in the hottest time of the year.
- 1:05:52Who camps in this kind of heat?
- 1:05:55This crazy tennisian does.
- 1:05:58Lori over at Lori's Soul Circle.

- 1:06:37love Lori. Anyone heard from Rori?
- 1:06:40Does anyone know how Rori is doing?
- 1:06:41I hope some of you guys are enjoying her book club.
- 1:06:44I don't really get a chance to go over there for that.
- 1:06:47It's not exactly a topic that's 100% on my alley, so I haven't really been over
- 1:06:52there in a little while, so everybody tell Lori that we said hi and that we miss
- 1:06:58her.
- 1:07:00Peter Urbanowski is making videos teaching how to do YouTube, focusing on the
- 1:07:04editing process. Lately, he's been sharing a lot of important cap cut tips and
- 1:07:09tricks.
- 1:07:11And the resident revsecutioner, our friend Jay in Discord, he wrote, Can I ask
- 1:07:16for a shout out for a dear friend of mine?
- 1:07:19He recently posted this compilation video of his dog, Chanel, who he recently
- 1:07:24lost. Brian is a great guy with a heart as big as all else.
- 1:07:29And there's a link to this video and to this channel in the video description.
- 1:07:34The channel. I do stuff Chanel.
- 1:07:38And the video there is called Pity Chanel's Rise to Fame Part 1.

- 1:07:46Allie G makes up beat optimistic fishing videos, uplifting stories, and she's
- 1:07:51full of positive energy. And every once in a while you get to hear a really
- 1:07:55pretty song get sung to you.
- 1:07:58Now look at our friend Daniel here with his bow.
- 1:08:04I actually took this screenshot of his live stream tonight as he was testing out
- 1:08:08a vintage 1980s era compound bow.
- 1:08:13And it's pretty darn cool watching him shoot that thing.
- 1:08:15So outdoors with Daniel, he's doing hunting, fishing, birding, archery, air
- 1:08:21guns, DIY, music, cooking and health, health maintenance videos.
- 1:08:25Definitely check out outdoors with Daniel.
- 1:08:28His username on YouTube is easy to find.
- 1:08:30Outdoors with Daniel 19.
- 1:08:33Mike the aging retiree who jokingly goes by Otis gives us wisdom on retirement,
- 1:08:39healthy living and YouTube tips.
- 1:08:41He's got excellent live streams with some great guests.
- 1:08:44Today his guest was Ron who's here in in the chat.
- 1:08:48And by the way, congrats on hitting 4000 watch Otis.
- 1:08:53You did it my man, reached it.
- 1:08:55Congratulations. Live streams will get you those watch hours won't they?
- 1:08:58So good job, Mike.
- 1:09:01Graciela Gracie G drops in from Melbourne, Australia all
- 1:09:04the
- 1:09:11time.
- 1:09:13Our friends Nicole Dow and Jay have some great live streams.
- 1:09:18They do off grid, woods, homesteading in Ontario, dogs and livestock, fishing
- 1:09:22and nature adventures. And I don't know if we got Warren in the chat or not
- 1:09:26tonight, but Warren the optimistic absurdist.
- 1:09:30He says the world doesn't always make sense and maybe it's not supposed to.
- 1:09:33Warren's channel is a place to slow down, question gently and make peace with
- 1:09:36the absurdity of being human.
- 1:09:38He explores life, meaning, discipline, curiosity and calm, not by pretending to
- 1:09:42have the answers, but by learning how to live well without them.
- 1:09:48So just a reminder for these producer shout outs, let me know if you'd like to
- 1:09:51change anything. Some of you guys, these have not changed.
- 1:09:55So if I haven't changed it in a good long while, I might be pulling it off the
- 1:10:00rotation until. I hear back from you.
- 1:10:02You can write me at winning the week, 777 at gmail.com or drop into discord.
- 1:10:08Leave me a comment in a video, anything like that.
- 1:10:11Let me know what you want for your producer shout out.
- 1:10:14Sound good? That sounds like a good plan to me.
- 1:10:18So once again, let's just get caught back up on the chat.
- 1:10:21See what we're missing here.
- 1:10:24Let's see that we just finished talking about surf shark.
- 1:10:27So here we are. Allie says no mullets
- 1:10:32and Glenn says our kitty was very spoiled this week.
- 1:10:37He got three things from Aldi, a little cat tree, a game boy scratcher and a toy
- 1:10:42that dispenses treats. Awesome.
- 1:10:44That's cool. And Ali got her new stickers.
- 1:10:47Excellent. And M did her stickers stickers and she did a video.
- 1:10:51If you guys never seen M, that's a really sweet and excellent video.
- 1:10:56And by the way, speaking of M, I've told you guys several times that if you want
- 1:11:01to record a quick little short little video and send it my way telling me how
- 1:11:05you're winning your week, keep it about 30 seconds or so.
- 1:11:08M did that. Fred did that.
- 1:11:12And I've got those videos ready to go and shipped out and the video that I'm
- 1:11:17making this week, those will show up in those in that video.
- 1:11:21I feel like there's a third one, but now I'm drawing a blank on who it, it was.
- 1:11:26So thank you for taking care of that and sending that over.
- 1:11:28But if you check out her video in which she looks at my stickers that I sent
- 1:11:31her, get to see how pretty she is, you guys.
- 1:11:35All right, let's see here.
- 1:11:38Oh, we got to do a Suzuki emoji.
- 1:11:40Dana, that's a good point.
- 1:11:41I forgot all about that. I completely forgot.
- 1:11:44Yes, I need to make a Suzuki the cat emoji.
- 1:11:47I will get on that for this week.
- 1:11:48I promise. How about tomorrow?
- 1:11:50I'll do it tomorrow.
- 1:11:52And CL says you're surrounded by smart people.
- 1:11:55That is true. It's all of you guys.
- 1:12:05And a second vote from M on the Suzuki emoji.
- 1:12:10And CL is raving about her small rig clamp, which was one of my tips of the day
- 1:12:14before I called it tip of the day.
- 1:12:16Excellent. I do too. It's what's holding up this little light right here.
- 1:12:22Got this little handheld miniature light that I kind of just clip onto my small
- 1:12:27rig right there and that just kind of fills in some side light life.
- 1:12:30I turn it off. That's what it looks like.
- 1:12:33Right. And then it's just this one light up here.
- 1:12:36Lighting this side of my face.
- 1:12:39So I just turn on this little side light over here.
- 1:12:41And it's clamped to the small rig.
- 1:12:43So I like it too.
- 1:12:46CL says cat parents don't have a favorite, but I secretly have a favorite.
- 1:12:51Well, I've only got one cat and mama says I can't have I can't have another cat
- 1:12:58as long as Suzuki still with us.
- 1:13:00So I guess I'm a one cat person because Suzuki is going to be with me here all
- 1:13:03this time. By the way, you guys want to know a secret?
- 1:13:06Don't tell anybody. This is just between you and me.
- 1:13:08Don't tell the rest of the people in the chat.
- 1:13:11But my wife, mama, Mrs. Winning the Week started YouTube.
- 1:13:17She started YouTube and she's just put out two videos so far.
- 1:13:23She's very shy. It's not showing her face, but she's got a little channel.
- 1:13:28And if you want to know what it is, you got to join Discord because that's the
- 1:13:32only place I'm sharing it.
- 1:13:34I'm not sharing a link to it in the description.
- 1:13:36I'm not going to tell you what it is besides just you and me talking here.
- 1:13:39It's just the two of us. Nobody else listening.
- 1:13:42But yeah, Mrs. Winning the Week started YouTube and she got two videos out so
- 1:13:47far with another one ready to go, I think tomorrow.
- 1:13:52And what else?
- 1:13:54Yeah, that's it. Discord would be the place to learn.
- 1:13:58And I just saw her pull up, by the way.
- 1:13:59She just pulled up out the window.
- 1:14:01So she'll be walking through here in just a minute.
- 1:14:05Em says, it's okay to have favorite CL.
- 1:14:09So Tracy, is Koba the favorite?
- 1:14:12Is that why she's the caddy cat that the channel is named after?
- 1:14:18That's funny.
- 1:14:22Ben says, I used to have a water bottle just like that.
- 1:14:24It was so cool. It has that Star Wars ships on it and eventually the Star Wars
- 1:14:27ship wore off. It was so sad.
- 1:14:30Well, now you can get one with my beautiful face on it Mr.
- 1:14:33Man at shop.winningtheweek.org.
- 1:14:37Use promo code WINNING, Ben, and you get 10% off.
- 1:14:41And I don't think it's that much money.
- 1:14:45That's funny. Mike delivers the puppies in his channel.
- 1:14:49He's got the puppies. He's got the doggies at the lake.
- 1:14:53Yep.
- 1:14:56And CL says that Mike and Brandon did an awesome side-by-side live.
- 1:15:01Right on. Yep.
- 1:15:04And Jen says she's tired tonight.
- 1:15:07So Em, you get a haul pass on that one.
- 1:15:10Mike tells us that old man, Copper, someone at work was asking me what that
- 1:15:13smell was. He said it smells like an apple candle.
- 1:15:16I had to tell him it was my beard balm.
- 1:15:19That's hilarious, man. You know, old man Copper makes beard balm, you guys.
- 1:15:23So if you got a beard and it's luxurious like mine and Otis's and Mike's, you
- 1:15:29might want to check out old man Copper.
- 1:15:30He's got a really good little side business selling beard balm.
- 1:15:35And Em is telling everybody good night.
- 1:15:37It's getting late. I'm going to be done here in just a minute to you guys.
- 1:15:41Absolutely.
- 1:15:43CL says, I miss Lori. I don't have a sub- stack account.
- 1:15:45Yep. I don't think I ever started an account there either.
- 1:15:48Yep.
- 1:15:50Oh, and Dana says she heard from Lori today.
- 1:15:52Very good. She heard from Lori outstanding.
- 1:15:55I did hear from Lori last week.
- 1:16:00Lori gave a huge anonymous donation so you don't know she did it.
- 1:16:05She didn't, you don't know she did it.
- 1:16:06But she did use the donate feature anonymously.
- 1:16:11Gave some value for value.
- 1:16:13So I heard from her. Don't worry about that.
- 1:16:14I just wish she was back on YouTube.
- 1:16:19CL said that both sounds cool.
- 1:16:21Yeah, it was a cool live stream.
- 1:16:23Seeing that Daniel and Mike agrees that that was a good live stream.
- 1:16:27Ron, especially when you had Mike spit his coffee out.
- 1:16:31Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Yep.
- 1:16:34Gracie is sweet. Spitting the coffee was classic.
- 1:16:37Warren's last video is really good.
- 1:16:39Thank you.
- 1:17:02CL,
- 1:17:09I and from Jenny.
- 1:17:12Very good. All right. Well, I'm all caught up.
- 1:17:16Old man copper says, appreciate the cop the call out.
- 1:17:18You know what I'll do copper is later on tonight.
- 1:17:21I'll go to your channel and get the link to the beard balm and I'll put that
- 1:17:25into the show notes for this live stream.
- 1:17:28So anybody coming back to this later can easily find that maybe I'll make a
- 1:17:32community post as well. And what I really ought to do is order some of the darn
- 1:17:37stuff. So I've never, you know, I've never put beard balm or anything like that
- 1:17:41in my beard. I just naturally have nice soft beard hair.
- 1:17:45But maybe I should try it out.
- 1:17:48That means I'm going to be smelling like apples or something.
- 1:17:51So maybe, maybe, uh, maybe that'd be nice.
- 1:17:54I'll have to, maybe I'll have to do that.
- 1:17:56But you're welcome for the call out.
- 1:17:58Well, listen, guys, I met the, I'm all caught up on.
- 1:18:00The chat. We got 13 thumbs up.
- 1:18:02We got 335 comments. We have accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish
- 1:18:06tonight. Let's do one more toast and a drink to John C.
- 1:18:10Dvorak may rest in peace. Thank you for all the excellent, deconstruction of the
- 1:18:15media.
- 1:18:20And I'm going to call it a night, everybody.
- 1:18:22Thank you very much for joining me.
- 1:18:24And I'll see you guys in the next one.
- 1:18:26Peace out. See you later and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
