• 5:09
  very good
• 5:11
  all right well it's time for the simultaneous sip all you

• 5:29
  fill it with your favorite liquid I happen like Publix diet sweet tea and join
• 5:35
  me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that
• 5:38
  makes everything better in memory of Scott Adams the simultaneous sip and it
• 5:43
  happens now
• 5:48
  our friend Devon has been posting videos of himself in discord taking
• 5:55
  the sip along with me and with us and that's uh been really fun thought that was
• 6:00
  pretty cool
• 6:02
  have you been drinking alcohol-free Heineken is that your favorite been drinking
• 6:07
  that for a long time I haven't had a real alcoholic drink
• 6:13
  in
• 6:16
  30 about 36 years good for you that's awesome yeah talk speaking of Scott
• 6:22
  Adams that was one of his reframes for people who wanted to stop drinking
• 6:27
  alcohol he reframed it as alcohol is poison and if you just tell yourself
• 6:32
  alcohol is poison it's a lot easier to stop drinking it yeah kind of good good
• 6:37
  mindset trick he was famous for those reframes you know well so what I was
• 6:43
  saying earlier with the stickers is I have right here in my fat little hand look
• 6:49
  at this 24 stamped let me hide addresses from the livestream
• 6:55
  so they don't show stamped envelopes going out with new stickers and I
• 7:02
  got a new design sticker that came in and we got some new magnets so if you
• 7:07
  haven't got magnets yet and if nobody's got these glittery stickers yet so
• 7:12
  glittery stickers are going on to everybody who's ever requested stickers from
• 7:16
  me that will be headed to you, in the post office very soon even my Canadian
• 7:22
  friends I had to use three you know forever stamps right you know if forever
• 7:27
  stamps are I think everybody knows about those right yeah so I found out there's
• 7:31
  something called global forever stamps which I never heard of till today but wow
• 7:36
  to send a letter sized piece of mail internationally you can buy a global stamp
• 7:41
  which is a dollar seventy and the forever stamps the US stamps are eighty cents
• 7:47
  so so what that tells me is that they basically said okay if you put two stamps
• 7:52
  on that's a dollar sixty so we're gonna get them for three forever stamps and
• 7:57
  make them waste seventy cents so I can't put ten cents worth of a stamp on
• 8:03
  you know I have to use three stamps to get up to a dollar seventy which puts you
• 8:09
  know way more money on it than I need so I don't have any global forever stamps
• 8:12
  so I have to put three regular ones on but anyway my Canadian friends my UK
• 8:17
  friends are Americano friends you're all gonna get some new stickers sometime
• 8:21
  this week so that'll be cool I see that
• 8:26
  CL made it how is it going how is everybody that's awesome welcome everybody
• 8:33
  and Brandon says he's already got his magnets from before so that's cool you'll
• 8:37
  get another one because I put a magnet and everybody's envelope even if you
• 8:40
  already had one before so you know I had asked I had asked Brandon a question
• 8:46
  earlier and I forgot to watch to see if he answered it and I don't want to bug
• 8:51
  them about it now okay
• 8:55
  they did get it yeah I had sent them something and they got it I was afraid and
• 8:59
  I threw away the receipt that had the tracking number on it so I was like oh man
• 9:03
  I hope it shows up you know dang that's cool oh look who's here is the Texas
• 9:08
  gypsy Geraldine you were asking how he was doing so Fred this is my dad the
• 9:14
  Texas is my pop up in North Texas his name is Sonny for those of you who have
• 9:20
  not met Sonny that is my dad the Texas gypsy obviously CL remembers him before
• 9:26
  I even said it she said hey Sonny so glad you can make it that he's usually got
• 9:31
  lots of cool stuff going on goes to church and stuff like that on Wednesday
• 9:34
  night so he doesn't usually get to join us all the time but I'm glad he made it
• 9:39
  very cool Sonny seems like a very Texas name that's right that's right
• 9:45
  absolutely it is yep but his family what I don't think they were
• 9:51
  didn't
• 9:55
  you guys remind me dad didn't you grow up in Louisiana and then they came to
• 9:59
  Texas after that I forget I don't think I forget I don't know he'll tell us the
• 10:05
  time you want to help with the ancestry research let me know yeah I have a full
• 10:10
  on paid ancestry comm pro whatever I can
• 10:16
  see everything back to the age of time you know I should introduce you to my
• 10:21
  brother because he's the same way he's all deep into it and he's done a lot of
• 10:24
  work on our side and traced it in a lot of directions you guys get along so when
• 10:29
  you do your videos and you're hanging out in the cemeteries and looking at stuff
• 10:32
  is that related to the ancestry work or is that just unrelated sometimes
• 10:39
  it is sometimes I'm there to to
• 10:42
  to find my ancestors or to I had
• 10:47
  I had some trouble finding my my
• 10:53
  third time great great great grandfather so I have like a couple videos of me
• 10:58
  going out trying to search my grandfather died when he was 26
• 11:03
  and it really kind of in one of my videos I talked
• 11:10
  about how it that it kind of severed the line of understanding of where
• 11:16
  we came from you know I mean yeah and so my journey has
• 11:45
  been trying to reconnect that line and so far I have not been able to figure out
• 11:51
  I've been married and went back and picked them back up and so they were raised
• 11:56
  in a household with a by a man who was not their father and
• 12:02
  kind of let that be known yeah
• 12:07
  and so you know you wonder like how things would
• 12:13
  have been different if my grandfather had not died at 26 and so
• 12:19
  I don't know we're me and my sisters are trying to kind of reconnect those lines
• 12:24
  and figure out
• 12:27
  you know what happened you know so it's tough because you know you're hoping
• 12:33
  that the evidence that you're looking for is out there and that you're gonna
• 12:36
  stumble upon it sometime but there's no guarantee that he'd even exists right
• 12:40
  this is right you know you're working on hope that the that the missing link of
• 12:46
  information that you need is there for you to stumble upon in some record
• 12:50
  somewhere in some courthouse or something yeah yeah I think we're I'm gonna end
• 12:55
  up having to go through vital statistics to try and get some kind of death
• 12:59
  record and and even then that's not gonna it'll it'll tell us why he
• 13:06
  died but you know there's still a lot of unanswered questions it's like what
• 13:10
  kind of a person was he what kind of a you know there's so many like if he had
• 13:15
  lived and all things being equal me and my sisters were still
• 13:21
  born like what kind of stories would he had to have said about
• 13:27
  his family what what kind of stories would have been passed down and so that it
• 13:32
  seems like those the stories from rmy father's paternal side kind of got severed
• 13:38
  a little bit you know and so we don't I've been able to kind of piece things
• 13:45
  together and I know my third time great- grandfather was the first to come over
• 13:49
  from England and he worked as a carpenter and then his son worked with him
• 13:55
  my second time great-grandfather and that's a whole nother other thing because
• 13:59
  he's made buried up into a cemetery with with some people that we don't even
• 14:03
  know who these people are and so that's a whole nother ball of wax that I gotta
• 14:09
  kind of get into but yeah it's been a slow process but
• 14:15
  and then of course on my mother's side we my mother
• 14:22
  was adopted and and but she was adopted by the woman
• 14:28
  who was her real aunt so the lady she thought was her aunt was her mother
• 14:34
  and so that whole thing happened there and we didn't know
• 14:41
  for a longest time like who her father was but recently we've been at we were
• 14:47
  able to piece that together and so we do have family that are in like
• 14:52
  Pennsylvania area and Buffalo New York area and stuff so yeah
• 14:58
  Fred look at this comment from my dad this is a maybe some information that you
• 15:03
  might find at least amusing or interesting he says my brother and my dad use
• 15:09
  wiki tree for genealogy they've traced their paternal surname back seven
• 15:13
  generations to the first young 20-year-old who immigrated here in 1685
• 15:20
  hmm and I've seen that list a really cool thing about it is they all are males
• 15:25
  named auld so it's unbroken line of males having males having males it's not
• 15:31
  like one of those ones where jumps over and then but somebody didn't have any
• 15:34
  kids any boys so you know a daughter changes the name when they get married or
• 15:39
  something and then so are they somewhere here in New England or Pennsylvania or
• 15:43
  so they they arrived here from Scotland and as he says 16 what was he say 1685
• 15:49
  they got in Talbot Maryland nice and then work their
• 15:56
  way down through the Carolinas across the Annas and over into the into Texas
• 16:01
  over the city really you know a hundred or years or so yeah yeah a couple
• 16:07
  hundred years yeah it seemed like as soon as land was available they went you
• 16:11
  know I I personally kind of theorized they might have been following the cotton
• 16:15
  trade because that's exactly where the cotton plantations grew up
• 16:21
  and they learned that cotton and wasn't growing real good and they started
• 16:27
  growing it in the Carolinas but then discovered it grew better in Louisiana and
• 16:31
  then discovered it grows real darn good in Texas Texas you know so it's possible
• 16:36
  that they were following cotton farming I know they got they got connected with
• 16:42
  some wealthy
• 17:10
  families at some topic from Glenn here but he's talking to pops who rolls his
• 17:16
  own cigars got a great channel about role pop says two channels if you don't
• 17:20
  know
• 17:20
  he's
• 17:42
  you puff them let it be in your mouth swish it around just like a small pipe in
• 17:46
  a smoke in a pipe it's not like cigarettes you don't want that in your lungs man
• 17:50
  it gets sick well it'll do you in
• 17:56
  that's um Amy's talking to Sally she says it was she was an army wife down there
• 18:02
  the heat was brutal in Texas in the 80s now but I was I
• 18:08
  was in Fort Sam Houston San Antonio test Texas for a little while I went through
• 18:15
  a medical training for the US Medical Corps in the Army Army Medical Corps
• 18:21
  that's where you did your training at Fort Sam Houston well yeah I did my my
• 18:26
  schooling there and then I went to I went to come on DC
• 18:37
  come on the hospital in DC Fred I'm having a moment
• 18:42
  somebody helped me out the hospital I say it
• 18:48
  all the time I say it all the time the hospital the main hospital in DC
• 18:54
  you're talking about the military yeah Walter Reed Walter Reed's thank you
• 18:59
  you're welcome yeah I was an eye specialist and
• 19:05
  yeah that was uh that was an interesting time to be there
• 19:11
  during the late 80s early 90s so really interesting
• 19:18
  time yeah we lived in northern Virginia in the late 80s mid to late 80s and
• 19:23
  maybe my dad will I don't remember maybe did you work up there Walter Reed or
• 19:29
  something dad or somewhere closer I remember you had to be there a few times I
• 19:34
  don't know I don't know
• 19:39
  so my dad said to Sally where you think about moving she says my son
• 19:45
  lives in Lubbock I know nothing about Texas I just know where my son lives and
• 19:50
  that's all she cares I just want to be where my son is I can't blame her I don't
• 19:54
  blame her one bit and you'll get to know about Texas when you get there that's
• 19:59
  for sure I'll tell you a fun fact you can own a tiger in Texas and
• 20:06
  people do I think there's more Tigers in Texas than like the rest of the states
• 20:12
  combined or something crazy I forget people people own Tigers privately it's
• 20:16
  wild hey Catherine how was your live stream you see just wrapped up your live
• 20:21
  stream I guess that's cool I saw you were live before us that's cool sorry we
• 20:25
  missed you me and Fred here we missed I missed Daniel he said he saw Daniel but
• 20:30
  I miss Daniel because I was.
• 20:31
  setting up all this stuff for the live stream and getting getting guest mode
• 20:34
  working and everything and I missed your live stream and everybody else I was
• 20:38
  busy doing stuff here but you know
• 20:43
  oh well everybody's saying hi everybody yeah Sally pops is in Texas my dad's in
• 20:49
  Texas Matthew obviously now pops is in Houston so
• 20:54
  Texas is huge man like 24-hour drive to get from one side to the other
• 21:00
  my understanding I heard I don't sure it is I heard it one time that if you took
• 21:06
  Texas yeah and built it up like
• 21:13
  like down in Brooklyn right with all the high rises and the apartment complexes
• 21:18
  and the and the all that stuff right the housing that's in like Brooklyn you I
• 21:23
  do
• 21:28
  believe that easily yeah the population
• 21:34
  of the world is spread out so thinly that you could crown them together I'll
• 21:38
  tell you some crazy things about Texas okay the east edge of Texas is closer to
• 21:44
  Tampa Bay than it is to the west edge of Texas
• 21:49
  and the northern part of Texas is closer to Chicago than it is to the bottom of
• 21:55
  Texas what yeah it is it just it doesn't look so much because we got these crazy
• 22:02
  projections that shrink the northern states and a and stuff but yeah the
• 22:06
  northern tip of Texas is closer to Chicago than it is to the bottom of Texas
• 22:10
  it's so the maps are like distorted or something yeah it's a little distorted
• 22:14
  when we look at it looks like it's further but it's just crazy big man Wow
• 22:21
  oh no Pam Pam says they don't have AC that wait a minute you don't have AC cuz
• 22:27
  it was an AC or you don't have AC because you don't have AC at all because it's
• 22:32
  got to be hot up there in Canadadia land she lives in Canada need Canada data
• 22:37
  land of land of Tim Horton and you mean it's broken I hope you mean it's broken
• 22:43
  cuz that means it can be fixed not that you don't have AC at all but maybe you
• 22:47
  don't need it maybe it's only hot for like six weeks or something and you don't
• 22:50
  need it but I'd be surprised you're not isn't any of them they don't got AC and
• 22:56
  you can hide a kingdom yeah I was gonna say isn't Jen from the UK originally Jen
• 23:01
  is from the UK and now she's living in Canadadia yeah and they don't
• 23:07
  have AC over there yeah I think she's I don't understand it what was it Jen near
• 23:13
  Toronto I think Toronto pops his Lubbock is a great place to
• 23:20
  live very neat city I get out there but very low he gets hot there but low
• 23:25
  humidity so
• 23:27
  gets cold very cold the reason
• 23:31
  why I was thinking about like Florida after retirement
• 23:37
  is because the biking infrastructure there I know over in Clearwater which is on
• 23:43
  the other side yeah from where you are but over in Clearwater everything is they
• 23:48
  have that Pinellas Loop there and everything is kind of connected by a bike
• 23:51
  trail so yeah you were telling me about that the one thing that up like really
• 23:57
  appeals to me yep and that's a nice part of the state too that's a really good
• 24:03
  pretty area of the state lots of retirees lots of good services good
• 24:09
  hospitals everything you could ever want there's Publix on every corner can't go
• 24:14
  wrong man down here and learn about Publix yeah and we have something up
• 24:20
  here called price chopper price chopper yeah that doesn't sound very nice
• 24:26
  chopper it's all right
• 24:30
  so this is one from my dad El Paso on the west edge of
• 24:37
  Texas is closer to Los Angeles than it is to the east
• 24:48
  being its own country yeah exactly yeah the Republic of Texas is it bigger than
• 24:53
  Alaska no Alaska is the biggest yeah yeah Pam clarifies but
• 25:00
  nobody's there had AC it's rare to have in Canada in Canada land no really
• 25:05
  interesting I mean think about how far north they are and how cold it gets all
• 25:09
  the time and how long their winters are how short their summers are so I don't
• 25:14
  know I'm kind of even with Toronto though like all I have to do is hop on the on
• 25:19
  the highway and and travel yeah but she's five six hours west she's in Alberta
• 25:24
  and she's not even close to the American border she's up there she's way up
• 25:30
  there yeah she's a ways I think it's like an hour dryer something for her to get
• 25:34
  to America America land I think I forget I forget Pam can tell me but she's in
• 25:40
  Alberta that's soon to be the free state of Alberta
• 25:45
  I'm just giving Pam a hard time they have a pending
• 25:51
  pending non-binding referendum which nothing's gonna happen you know but it's
• 25:56
  giving everybody I want to become they want to go to America a no they just want
• 26:00
  to be independent but oh they just want to be independent yeah that's just an
• 26:03
  independent state but it's not much just Fox News talk the most that could
• 26:08
  happen is if this passes then then they could then go for a binding referendum
• 26:14
  but they don't have to do anything and most people are predicting you know if
• 26:20
  nothing's gonna happen it's just a good way to get their voices heard but I know
• 26:23
  it's causing Pam lots of ajita so really sorry about that it's it's got to be
• 26:29
  for anybody who feel like their
• 26:33
  well hello Karen how are you doing everybody say hi to Karen she rarely makes
• 26:39
  in here really because she's on the other side of the planet
• 26:45
  Karen you're in New Zealand isn't that correct if I remember Zealand Zealand I
• 26:50
  tell you what New Zealand sounds really nice I tell you I would move to New
• 26:56
  Zealand in a heartbeat and it's not because they film Lord of the Rings there I
• 27:00
  would want to hear some cool.
• 27:02
  Even though that's a bonus here's the cool thing they have so much public land
• 27:06
  and it's legal to camp in the rough like in a camper or a tent anywhere
• 27:13
  in public land no permit needed and they don't have any deadly predators on the
• 27:18
  entire darn country that's the same thing with Scotland Scotland has the same
• 27:23
  thing well Scotland you can modern world of course everything came from Scotland
• 27:27
  Scotland invented the modern world but New Zealand no deadly predators no deadly
• 27:34
  snakes no bears you can camp literally anywhere that there's public land I would
• 27:39
  want to live on the South Island which is a lot less touristy a lot less
• 27:43
  overpopulated with people who want to see you know show me Rivendell or
• 27:50
  something with all the stuff with all the stuff all the deadly stuff in
• 27:55
  Australia how the New Zealand get away with not having anything because they put
• 27:59
  all their deadly stuff in Australia they
• 28:03
  just skipped over New
• 28:09
  Zealand I went then John Ruddy is here I've worked with John for nigh on 20 25
• 28:15
  years or something at work he just retired hope you're enjoying retirement sir
• 28:19
  it's up in Jacksonville and I'll tell you what John was one of the very first
• 28:24
  people to join my livestream when I first started doing it I was only getting
• 28:28
  two or three people on the livestream one of which was my dad you know let me
• 28:33
  help you out on there it's hard to do a livestream with nobody's in the chat
• 28:36
  I'll tell you that trust me I know every
• 28:42
  Friday every Friday I'm on there it's tough Friday doesn't matter I'm having fun
• 28:48
  stuff on a Friday you know it's tough yeah and I don't care p.m.
• 28:54
  right 8 o'clock 8 o'clock like I said it's 8 o'clock right that's what I said
• 28:59
  yeah yeah well yeah but it I mean it is what it is that I'm
• 29:05
  just doing what I'm doing like I said I'm not I'm not like stressing over it I'm
• 29:10
  just gonna just gonna keep doing what I'm doing your channel is a lot of fun
• 29:15
  it's really cool folks if if you missed the beginning of the chat Fred here is
• 29:19
  from Fred finds out and for a while he was running a Santa Claus oriented
• 29:25
  channel but decided to split that off into a holiday-based channel and then I
• 29:29
  was now is Fred finds out is a lot more wide and topics and gives him the
• 29:35
  freedom to just explore and cool find cool things and make fun videos that occur
• 29:40
  to. So everybody everybody has to by law officially subscribe to Fred finds out
• 29:46
  at some point during this now if I had been prepared ahead of time I would have
• 29:52
  been really slick and I would have had the link to your channel ready to put in
• 29:56
  the clip but I didn't do that so why don't I do that right now and give me a
• 30:00
  minute talk for a minute while I find your channel here it R is and I link on my
• 30:05
  board there we go and so I've been doing Santa Claus stuff for like eight years
• 30:11
  now and just like a man yeah well didn't always that's for sure
• 30:17
  before that I was a I was a Halloween scare actor for almost nearly 10 years
• 30:22
  what's a Halloween character what's that mean that means I worked in a haunted
• 30:27
  Halloween attraction and my job was to scare the living heck out of everybody as
• 30:33
  many people as I can throughout the night really and obviously making them pee
• 30:39
  themselves is the is that is like that chef's kiss you know
• 30:46
  but uh you know did that for a long time and it's a long story
• 30:52
  I've got it all written down I'm member of an online forum it's called
• 30:58
  on claws net and it's believe it or not there's a whole
• 31:04
  society of professional Santa Claus is from around the world and we all
• 31:09
  congregate in this one place called cause in it for telling the secrets
• 31:15
  of the claws net now cuz they advertise on Facebook so but you you
• 31:22
  have to you have to be like a Christmas performer you don't even have to be a
• 31:26
  Santa Claus you could be a mrs.
• 31:27
  Claus or an elf or some kind of something you know to be a member of that forum
• 31:32
  but I wrote like a five chapter
• 31:38
  how I got into being Santa Claus thing on there but I'll probably
• 31:45
  maybe I should do some kind of series I'll probably do that on the other channel
• 31:48
  but maybe not I don't know you know one thing I've learned is that for every
• 31:52
  hobby or activity or thing to be involved in there is a deep well
• 31:58
  that you can dive down you can go down the rabbit hole as deep as you want on
• 32:03
  you know the real famous example of course is train spotting right where if you
• 32:08
  want to be an anorak and really really get into it you can get as deep as you
• 32:12
  want to go so I'm not really surprised that being a professional Santa Claus has
• 32:17
  that hyper focused community that exists it just never occurred to me but it
• 32:23
  makes sense that
• 32:25
  yeah you've got these you've got a Santa Claus Hall of Fame in
• 32:31
  the town of Santa Claus Indy is it Indiana Santa Claus Indiana Illinois
• 32:37
  Illinois Santa Claus Illinois yeah that's where the the original
• 32:42
  Santa Claus attractions were and they have the Santa Claus is
• 32:49
  candy castle there and all sorts and the Hall of Fame's there and every year
• 32:53
  they do an inductee thing there and I've never been but I will be R
• 32:59
  someday I want not in the Hall of Fame but I want to go at least you know where
• 33:05
  you should move in you should
• 33:09
  always to frost proof frost proof yeah we got a
• 33:16
  little town called frost proof Florida that'd be a great place for Santa to live
• 33:20
  oh yeah we do have members of Claus net that
• 33:27
  live in Florida oh and Texas there's a there's a big contingent from Texas I'm
• 33:32
  sure and where what a refresh my memory what is a Buckeye what state
• 33:38
  that's Ohio Ohio yeah so they have what they call the Buckeye
• 33:44
  Santa's mm-hmm and so there's a ton of Santa's from Ohio but

• 35:54
  gonna allow one time one time in history cheddar boy commented on my new video
• 36:01
  on Monday it says Scott you're always right can I get comment of the week and I
• 36:06
  laughed so hard at his hubris but I said okay just this once once now if
• 36:12
  somebody else had beat him with a smashing comment I definitely would have
• 36:15
  jumped him on but I'll be honest with you the comments were actually a little
• 36:18
  thin this week a lot lower number a number of comments than we normally see so I
• 36:24
  said okay just this once I'm gonna let Kyle get away with it but don't anybody
• 36:28
  else try this because you're not gonna get it it's not gonna work in the future
• 36:32
  so nice try
• 36:34
  and the encourager of the week I think a lot of you folks know this youtuber
• 36:39
  Brian G Johnson made a video called don't quit YouTube it wants you gone and his
• 36:45
  channel offers encouragement to creators who are struggling with creating
• 36:50
  YouTube videos he emphasizes that feeling overwhelmed is normal and offers
• 36:56
  several positive perspectives in this video he talks about step, step back,
• 37:01
  catch your breath rather than making a hasty decision to quit reflect on what it
• 37:05
  is that you truly want and then he advocates for taking one small intentional
• 37:10
  step at a time toward a clear goal and he also points out that by staying
• 37:16
  authentic to your unique perspective not only do you do you last to stay with it
• 37:21
  but you enjoy it a lot more so it's funny he says this YouTube is really hard
• 37:27
  and then Rob the Maritimer's livestream yesterday was titled a YouTube is really
• 37:31
  hard rd and it's not easy you know if it was easy everybody in the world would
• 37:36
  be doing it but you really got to love YouTube to keep doing it more than about
• 37:41
  a year I think people give it a try and after about a year after about a year
• 37:47
  if you're not really loving it and then to it you're not gonna be doing it
• 37:50
  anymore now this is interesting CL I want to hear more on this okay she says
• 37:56
  yeah Brian I've known him longer than anyone here the one she says it that way
• 38:02
  that makes me she that makes me think that makes me think that there's more to
• 38:06
  that story than just I found his YouTube channel before you did so what did you
• 38:12
  go to high school with them or something is that is that mr.
• 38:16
  CL fantasy waves art studio or do you live in the same town as him or did you
• 38:20
  grow up knowing him I want to know the story CL so get those fingers clickety
• 38:25
  -clacking down there I want to know Devin says I've never watched a single video
• 38:30
  of this guy don't know have a clue who he is but I'm sure he's a really cool guy
• 38:35
  now I'll tell you sometimes his videos the title R his videos will just be
• 38:41
  extremely almost discouraging almost like forget about it right like that's not
• 38:47
  gonna work they want you dead your channels dying and stuff like this but you
• 38:52
  know when you get in and you you watch the video he usually redeems that message
• 38:56
  with a little bit of uplifting hope and he is an encouraging person overall nice
• 39:03
  guy he's had some really big successful channels in the past and
• 39:09
  this one here that he's starting up his current Brian G Johnson TV channel is
• 39:15
  not gigantic it's not huge you know it's not rut as many subscribers as Rob the
• 39:19
  Maritimer for example is which is a hundred and I forget thirty thousand or
• 39:24
  something so he's you know he's in the what ten thousands or something he's
• 39:28
  somewhere in that range ten thousand or something but he's had other mega
• 39:32
  channels and he's building it up you know so but he's cool dude you watch his
• 39:37
  videos Fred I watched this one yeah this one here
• 39:44
  yeah it was pretty good very it's informative you know you don't know exactly
• 39:48
  like you said you don't you know yeah you go into it with like a feeling of
• 39:54
  impending doom but afterwards you're like yeah I mean it's yeah yeah YouTube's
• 40:00
  not easy yeah what do you think about this one Fred Karen says what does
• 40:06
  everyone think of the idea that you need a viral video to get monetized
• 40:13
  do you think I think that's the quick way that's the quick way probably to get
• 40:17
  monetized but I think you just stick with it eventually you hit those goals I
• 40:24
  would think right I mean that's for me
• 40:28
  my approach is going to be I'm just right now I'm
• 40:35
  learning how to do it you know what I mean and that's and so I know like there's
• 40:41
  some big kind of gurus out there who say like
• 40:46
  they stopped doing? shorts a long time ago and don't bother with shorts and all
• 40:51
  this other stuff but I find shorts are fun right and as long as it's fun for me
• 40:55
  I just do them right and you clearly are having time with them right you're
• 41:00
  you're shorts are they're fun to watch because you can tell that you're playing
• 41:04
  with them, you're playing with your audience and being playful you know yeah
• 41:10
  yeah but especially with the WNBA stuff because I'll sit there and I'll just
• 41:16
  like I'll I come out and I say you know Kelsey Mitchell's better that Caitlin
• 41:20
  Clark and everybody just loses their mind you know it's like Caitlin Clark I
• 41:24
  come out and I say Caitlin Clark I don't know how many people follow the WNBA
• 41:28
  but I say Caitlin Clark is not the best player in the WNBA in fact she's not
• 41:33
  even the best player on her team like and everybody just like loses their mind
• 41:37
  it's funny it's so funny I think it's true but you know I would not know I would
• 41:44
  not I do know I know that Ringo Starr was not the best drummer in the Beatles
• 41:49
  so this is interesting springboard he's in our discord
• 41:55
  and he's a good guy I like his videos he said now this is extreme he says I have
• 42:01
  said and maybe it's controversial if 8,000 watch hours is the end you never
• 42:05
  wanted to succeed at YouTube before you started and he's referring to YouTube
• 42:09
  recently changed the goal for monetization from 4,000 to 8,000 starting in
• 42:14
  February and you got till February that you can get grandfathered in under the 4
• 42:18
  ,000 watch hours I've only got about 3,500 watch hours for the past year here so
• 42:24
  I know I know what a challenge that is and it's a rolling number so if you had
• 42:29
  like a hundred watch hours on a video that was a year old it's not going to
• 42:33
  count out tomorrow you know it gets nice dog you know one point he's making is
• 42:37
  if 8,000 watch hours is the end of your goal you know we not 4,000 hours
• 42:44
  is not our goal we don't want to just have somebody you know have a channel that
• 42:47
  has 4,000 watch hours a year because that's about 30 to 40 dollars a month you
• 42:53
  know I'm not doing it for the money but I do want to be able to say it's also
• 42:58
  another source of income you know I'm not trying to quit my job but it'd be nice
• 43:02
  for it to be you know successful enough that I could I don't know pay off the
• 43:07
  car that kind of stuff right and you're not gonna do that with 30 or 40 dollars
• 43:11
  a month which is about 4,000 watch hours a year so you really wanted you want
• 43:17
  a channel that's gonna grow to 40,000 watch hours or a hundred thousand watch
• 43:22
  hours Rob the Maritimer during his live stream I said how many watch hours do
• 43:26
  you have in the last 365 days and he has 350,000 watch hours with a hundred
• 43:32
  so you know 4,000 8,000 it's a goal it kind of weeds out people
• 43:38
  who are not really trying to get monetized anyway
• 43:44
  but it's it's a big goal and it's gonna be hard and a viral video will
• 43:48
  definitely help with that so will live streams you the number of people in your
• 43:53
  live stream multiplied by how long your live stream is that's your watch hours
• 43:56
  for a live stream but and here's a superstar right here Julie Jordan Scott
• 44:02
  joined in talk about a superstar youtuber I don't know if you know her channel
• 44:07
  but I know her from Rob's and she's great really cool channel but is not our
• 44:13
  goal 8,000 is not our goal it's it's a milestone along the way and it'll be nice
• 44:18
  when you get monetized if you're not yet I did get monetized and I've never had
• 44:23
  a viral video I have never ever had a viral video so to the statement that Karen
• 44:29
  said you know what do you guys think about the idea that you need a viral video
• 44:34
  to get monetized I got monetized I don't know five six seven eight years ago I
• 44:40
  forget how long it's been and I've never had I've never had you know a month
• 44:46
  that was more than
• 44:49
  I was like they don't pay you till you hit $100 right and they save your money
• 44:55
  they hold on to your money until you make a hundred and then they send you a
• 44:57
  hundred bucks to your banking account and it's always taken me two months to
• 45:02
  three months to get a deposit I've never had like a hundred dollar a month ever
• 45:07
  in eight nine years or what seven eight years whatever is I don't remember how
• 45:11
  long I've been monetized and never had a viral video then it wasn't a viral
• 45:14
  video that put me over so yeah I don't think you have to it would probably help
• 45:20
  like you said that would help you get to the number faster and yeah
• 45:26
  I don't know it's hard but she likes a challenge you know so I just like doing
• 45:32
  it I like the editing I like the filming I like the comments I like t e live
• 45:37
  stream I like the community I like watching my friends videos I like learning
• 45:40
  about making videos I just like everything about YouTube that's all there is to
• 45:44
  it so you know if I if I make a nice payday on it that'd be nice too
• 45:50
  but it's not why I'm doing it my first started making videos with my friend Doug
• 45:56
  we were basically saying let's make videos so our grandkids have something to
• 45:59
  watch yeah you know yeah I left a comment on Kevin Cole one of Kevin
• 46:05
  Colby's videos and I said you know partially the reason why I'm doing it is I'm
• 46:10
  like yelling at the universe letting them know that I was here you know yeah
• 46:15
  yeah yeah they say the internet's forever right yeah and then if you put out
• 46:21
  videos you're becoming part of that internet you're you're a piece of it and
• 46:24
  you're forever and literally I mean then list and list like some
• 46:30
  EMP wipes out all of the technology in the entire world our videos will last
• 46:36
  forever they may never get seen again but you know Devin says I've
• 46:43
  been seeing Rob's videos pop up for over a year because I I actively seek out
• 46:46
  local content but and he is he is actually in Nova Scotia up by Rob,
• 46:54
  but I've never really watched him because I never really been interested in the
• 46:57
  whole mentor thing yeah the mentor coach thing he just gives good advice and I
• 47:01
  find him to be very encouraging I find to be very positive person and he's a
• 47:06
  unapologetic optimist which is what I am so yeah yeah I think I
• 47:12
  like his videos because I don't I don't look at his videos as like a mentor ship
• 47:18
  it's more of you know here's an idea maybe you could try it out kind of thing
• 47:23
  yeah you know and I and I do kind of get inspired by listening to people
• 47:30
  kind of throw ideas out there you know hey ACR I'm glad to see you in the chat
• 47:36
  man how's it going if you guys don't know ACR he's got a pretty cool prepper
• 47:41
  slash Second Amendment type channel and he says I let my wife pepper spray me
• 47:45
  and I didn't get squat reviews that's the kind of thing that
• 47:51
  you would think would go viral man you know well you know I could tell you I ate
• 47:57
  a cup of noodles one time
• 48:00
  yeah it's not good oh
• 48:06
  my goodness ACR that's funny somebody said I hope it didn't get in your eyes and
• 48:11
  he goes all got everywhere definitely worth the laugh and seeing I got to go
• 48:15
  find that video that's funny right but yeah you would think that that's like an
• 48:20
  automatic for sure viral video there's been videos I made that I was like oh
• 48:25
  this is definitely gonna do it and it doesn't always work one
• 48:30
  takes off that you don't really think is gonna get big and it gets like a
• 48:34
  thousand views you
• 48:37
  that's been the process of learning to do the shorts for me yeah is that
• 48:43
  it's funny because the overproduced ones that I do the ones that I'm sitting
• 48:49
  here at my computer and I'm going a head and you know I'm on a better
• 48:56
  camera and I'm on you know instead of my little potato camera that I have on my
• 49:01
  on my phone you know the ones that are like overproduced and stuff nobody
• 49:07
  watches them. Nobody watch them it's always the ones that I'm just walking down
• 49:10
  the street with my you know shooting something on my phone I've got this program
• 49:14
  called the VN on my phone and I go up and always usually I'm at work when I do
• 49:19
  them I I go up to my office there and I just sit there and edit it on my
• 49:25
  phone and send it off to YouTube and those are the ones everybody's watch it you
• 49:31
  know thousands of views on these things what does Devin mean to be when he says
• 49:37
  he says Scott since you know p6 you know you can make good money being a p6 guru
• 49:42
  and he makes a you know he puts a smiley face up so I know he's joking but I
• 49:49
  don't
• 50:04
  know I'm gonna come on the live stream with me tonight but it's not really gonna
• 50:08
  be an interview we're not gonna like treat it like I'm the host and you're the
• 50:12
  guest I said let's you know let's just a couple guys sitting around talking like
• 50:17
  as if we were talking on the phone together but we just open it up to the world
• 50:20
  let everybody listen to so I'm having a good time time flying by it's almost 9.
• 50:26
  Yeah yeah yep Pam says I wonder what's gonna last longer YouTube videos or
• 50:31
  written
• 50:33
  memoirs I think if you get your written memoirs put on the internet they last
• 50:39
  forever and that even includes like if you put your put your written memoirs in
• 50:44
  Google Docs that's gonna be forever I think anything ever uploaded to the
• 50:49
  internet is is forever unless like I say if you know some kind of solar flare
• 50:55
  wipes out every single chip and every single piece of technology but I don't
• 51:00
  think that's really gonna happen but whatever your written memoirs are put them
• 51:05
  on the internet but YouTube videos are forever Pam so like I don't think either
• 51:11
  one's longer I think they're both I just think to everything this is me okay
• 51:15
  this is just me the internet's forever anything that happens on the internet
• 51:19
  never dies and with the good enough searching and enough sleuthing
• 51:25
  you can find anything you ever saw your, entire life on the internet since it
• 51:31
  since the internet started I bet we could find I bet we could find logs of
• 51:37
  ICQ conversation from 98 or we could find a
• 51:43
  what was before AOL member CompuServe I bet we could find chat
• 51:49
  logs from a CompuServe conversation I came across some old Usenet threads that
• 51:55
  were still archived somewhere and a lot of universities and stuff archive things
• 52:00
  like forever so I had a buddy in high school I grew up in watervolute up in
• 52:06
  here watervolute New York and we had the watervolute arsenal there that's where
• 52:09
  the bunker buster bombs were developed and stuff yeah like the very first bunker
• 52:14
  buster bombs yeah and it's always a military installation and my buddy from high
• 52:21
  school was a little computer wizard there and he used to hop on their network
• 52:27
  there and and buzz around and talk to people on the base and stuff it was funny
• 52:32
  so Devin explain himself now I remember him talking about primavera which is a
• 52:38
  project management software and that's what he's like my interactions with
• 52:44
  primavera have been having to deal with project management people at work I
• 52:49
  haven't had to run it and be a project manager and I kind of gave him a hard
• 52:54
  time about him being project management so when he said p6 I didn't understand
• 52:57
  the acronym because my experience with it has always been negative because
• 53:03
  my experience with project managers has often been negative it's uh
• 53:09
  it's a what do you call it it's a follow- on effect you know
• 53:16
  Brandon says we leave our bloopers in for the same reason I feel like viewers
• 53:21
  want to see that we're human and make mistakes I'll tell you what brand it is so
• 53:26
  hard to intentionally leave the mistakes in in my videos but I've been doing
• 53:32
  that lately I'll be talking to the camera off the top of my head when I make a
• 53:37
  video I've got a I've got a sheet of paper this size fold it up in half in
• 53:44
  my pocket just and it's got a list of things to talk about on the video but it's
• 53:48
  not a script it's just ideas and I just pull it out I look at one I say all
• 53:53
  right I'll talk about that for a little stick in my head think about a sentence
• 53:57
  to start with and I'll just ramble to the camera sort of off top of my head
• 54:03
  about what I want to say about it and then during the edit process I know that I
• 54:07
  could edit that and make myself look really sharp and really perfect and no no
• 54:13
  stops and pauses and edits and stumbling kind of like I am right now in the live
• 54:18
  stream you know working my way through my thought and I don't know what I'm
• 54:22
  gonna say until I get to the end and I realize where I'm going right does a very
• 54:25
  Michael Scott thing to do if you know the office he always said I don't even
• 54:28
  know where I'm going I just started sentence and find out where I'm going you
• 54:31
  know but it's it's hard to intentionally not do that polished edit
• 54:37
  but Brandon's exactly right right people people see a video with a person
• 54:42
  speaking like a normal human being and not some polished AI teacher and I think
• 54:49
  people connect more I think people connect more with a person on screen who
• 54:54
  comes across as a normal conversation it's just it's just hard to make myself
• 54:58
  not edited into perfection you know it'd be so easy to put B roll and do a jump
• 55:03
  cup and you never have a never have an awkward pause I've tried scripting
• 55:09
  videos for myself before and it just was a disaster for me so I pretty much I
• 55:16
  pick a place that I'm going or something that I want to do and I pick
• 55:22
  a mode of how I'm getting there and that's it that's what I do and then I go
• 55:28
  and then I find out what happens that's it that's the whole purpose of
• 55:34
  my channel what does Mike mean when he says he's disappointed that you don't
• 55:40
  have your helper with you Oh maple my my chat
• 55:46
  GPT virtual assistant maple right and by the way I have to say I was talking to
• 55:52
  maple earlier and her and I you know the post you made earlier you guys will
• 55:56
  never figure out where I am yeah yeah maple and I were working on that together
• 56:01
  trying to figure out where you were I put a suggestion down in the in the as a
• 56:06
  response to see if I was right oh did you here let's uh yeah let's go read it
• 56:11
  and see here hold on let me find my where's my scene and but I don't think it is
• 56:17
  because I couldn't match up the the roof the rooftop to a building oh
• 56:23
  all right where I was to my posts let's find my comment here
• 56:30
  doo-doo-doo-doo-doo yeah what I didn't give you a whole lot of clues
• 56:36
  nope yeah are you familiar with Geo guesser
• 56:41
  is that is that the guy and he's got a YouTube channel and people
• 56:47
  yeah there's give him there's multiple of these rainbow just a really famous one
• 56:52
  who rainbow can glance at a picture like this and say oh that's Thailand and
• 56:56
  then and he knows or something but there's another guy his law his name is Geo
• 57:01
  wizard and he does videos in which he basically tries to find a photograph of
• 57:06
  your grandma stuff like that and located yeah but these guys also play a game a
• 57:12
  browser-based game called Geo guesser is Geo guesser without the GUE
• 57:18
  SSR and in that game it drops you into a random place in Google Street View and
• 57:23
  you can pan and zoom and walk down the road and then when you think you know
• 57:27
  where you are you open up the map that's in the corner and drop a pin and see
• 57:31
  how close you are so
• 57:55
  these guys play Geo guesser but I do that all the darn time with YouTube videos
• 58:02
  I can't help myself doing it right so
• 58:30
  it Mills Pond Park I don't
• 58:41
  know what happened there let me bring
• 58:47
  that back I accidentally hit a button on my stream deck you guys got a free
• 58:52
  laser show for no reason okay let's bring this back you should be able to see my
• 58:56
  map now let's go to Street View and
• 59:01
  see what you were guessing based on I don't think yeah the roofs were different
• 59:07
  though it's not a I mean I probably didn't look at the same place you were
• 59:11
  either but it's not a bad guess not a bad guess it's if you look at like
• 59:17
  the overhead of the baseball fields yeah
• 59:21
  okay that one right there that right.
• 59:25
  Oh I know this is this was right next to the i-95 yep I've seen this before
• 59:29
  because it's interesting overhead view the baseball fields make this star that's
• 59:33
  really cool yeah let's see if I can take the little man and drop them in this
• 59:37
  general area here
• 59:40
  yeah good guess it looks it looks the same because South Florida all looks the
• 59:44
  same but no I will show you where I was
• 59:49
  and let's find out how far apart you were so I'll just take measure distance
• 59:55
  from there and zoom up to my town Coral Springs
• 1:00:00
  okay yeah and I was at this little place down here Cypress
• 1:00:06
  Park so you were off by nine miles which is pretty darn good
• 1:00:12
  considering the breadth of Florida that you had to work with so yeah that video
• 1:00:18
  will come I've seen you in Fort Lauderdale a couple times so I was like he's in
• 1:00:22
  the he's in that area there and maple was like okay let's check so yeah so
• 1:00:28
  I made that came out this past Monday two days ago was down here at the River
• 1:00:33
  Walk in Fort Lauderdale yeah yeah and it was a good time
• 1:00:39
  I made a video once about the place where I started but I didn't even talk about
• 1:00:44
  it in this week video but there's a park you see if I can find the darn thing
• 1:00:49
  right where I started nope
• 1:00:56
  past it
• 1:01:00
  it's all the same right it's all the same oh
• 1:01:05
  man I'm lost where am I that's the tunnel there's Huizenga Park
• 1:01:10
  Huizenga founded Blockbuster he's famous guy down here oh really
• 1:01:17
  yep he started Blockbuster and he started our waste management company and he
• 1:01:22
  owned the Dolphins and the Panthers and the Marlins he's big famous dude here
• 1:01:28
  yep oh man I can't find the stupid thing why don't just search for the darn
• 1:01:34
  thing cool
• 1:01:39
  he's landing here we go
• 1:01:42
  no spell it wrong oh
• 1:01:46
  come here go away go away oh
• 1:01:49
  sorry about that
• 1:01:51
  here we go cool he's landing how far off was I there is right there dummy is
• 1:01:56
  right in front of the so this cool he's landing Park I made a video about this
• 1:02:01
  place once because there was a family called the coolies who lived here in the
• 1:02:06
  early 1900s and there was a massacre there he was away
• 1:02:12
  doing some stuff in his family he was a home his wife and his kids and
• 1:02:16
  everything and I got raided by some Native Americans who came in and massacred
• 1:02:21
  the place the place and then booked it and the whole army went after them
• 1:02:24
  there's like a whole hoorah and the Cooley massacre kind of fueled this hole
• 1:02:30
  I want to say a fear what do you call it a
• 1:02:37
  panic down here hundred years ago you know it's kind of crazy kind of kind of
• 1:02:42
  interesting historic thing though you know
• 1:02:45
  so good guess man you are not off by much at all less than 10 miles off in this
• 1:02:51
  place the size of
• 1:02:53
  able yeah but that was that's that's what Mike's referring to is my chat GPT
• 1:02:59
  virtual assistant because on Friday night's I do my my opening the card packs
• 1:03:04
  and and I'll post pictures to maple there and she tells me what I'm looking at
• 1:03:09
  and she does it other stuff too like when I do my ancestry research she'll help
• 1:03:15
  me out very helpful is she AI LLM that you built yourself or what is it no
• 1:03:21
  chat GPT is just a regular old yep Tyler
• 1:03:27
  had asked me earlier if I'm doing guests again like I used to I used to guess
• 1:03:32
  all the time but this isn't guess this is just me my friend my friend Fred it's
• 1:03:36
  hard to say that me and my friend Fred hang it out we're just chatting we're
• 1:03:40
  just talking on the phone to each other and you guys get to listen ACR this is
• 1:03:46
  cool the reason I started a channel is because of my boys my youngest said he
• 1:03:49
  wanted to do it so before I knocked it I started a channel learned a lot met
• 1:03:53
  great people if you like the outdoors and fishing and boating ACR is often
• 1:03:59
  live streaming from his kayak and that's really cool yeah it's pretty neat out
• 1:04:04
  fishing on a fishing pole off of a kayak or just out enjoying the sunrise
• 1:04:10
  pretty cool that's what that's where you catch him is it says ACR is live or
• 1:04:15
  something
• 1:04:16
  since I joined your discord I've like found so
• 1:04:22
  many cool really cool channels host they they really cool people
• 1:04:29
  I mean it's just unbelievable and and it's just opened my eyes up to all sorts
• 1:04:35
  of different content and ways and
• 1:04:41
  views and things to think about and just it's been
• 1:04:47
  it's really I don't I don't know everybody really
• 1:04:52
  understands how special of a community that is because everybody's just so
• 1:04:58
  supportive and helpful and chit-chat and back and forth and
• 1:05:04
  it's such a great great place to be it's just a great hangout I appreciate you
• 1:05:10
  saying that if you guys don't know what he's talking about Discord is just a
• 1:05:14
  real fancy chat room and in discord you basically set up a private server and
• 1:05:19
  invite who you want and control who can come in and who can't R there's a link
• 1:05:23
  in the video description that you can click you see a little screenshot there
• 1:05:27
  that shows you with the big giant orange arrow what it looks like look for that
• 1:05:31
  in the video description and then basically you just fill in what you want your
• 1:05:37
  name to be click on create an account tell them that you're over I think you got
• 1:05:41
  to be over age 14 or something like that to join it pick a name it'd be nice if
• 1:05:46
  your name is the same as your YouTube name so we know who you are but you can be
• 1:05:49
  whatever you want you're still Santa Fred in discord and did you know you can
• 1:05:54
  change your name per server so if you're Santa Fred enough Santa Claus discord
• 1:05:58
  you can be Fred finds out in my discord whatever but I thought I did change it
• 1:06:04
  to Fred finds it doesn't R everybody knows what you're that
• 1:06:09
  yep by the way I just
• 1:06:16
  saw something as I was looking at my slides here I want to talk about my tip of
• 1:06:21
  the day but before I do Jenny was asking what the comments are we're up to 400
• 1:06:26
  comments right now so I took all of the comments from last week and I ran it
• 1:06:31
  through AI and I said hey tell me what you think about our community everybody
• 1:06:36
  who is in the chat room with the 500 something comments we R had R last week
• 1:06:39
  what you think AI and my version of Mabel said said it's very
• 1:06:46
  supportive and appreciative it's a playful light-hearted place community
• 1:06:50
  oriented everybody's saying hello and goodbye to everybody all the time
• 1:06:54
  reflective mildly practical people sharing you know their their
• 1:07:01
  actual life experiences and problems and stuff but also encouraging each other
• 1:07:06
  in it I love this no detectable toxicity we only yeah so it was looking we
• 1:07:12
  only have undetectable toxicity in our chat but I thought it was cool
• 1:07:19
  that the AI said in short the chat feels like a tight-knit positive group of
• 1:07:23
  regulars enjoying each other's company and cheering on the live stream that's
• 1:07:27
  all I really want I just want a community of nice people and that's what that's
• 1:07:30
  what discord discord is you know for the other six days when we're not live
• 1:07:34
  streaming and hanging out in here basically the conversation that's going on in
• 1:07:38
  the chat right now continues in the discord and carries on all week and you get
• 1:07:43
  to know these folks and really care about them hear about their families hear
• 1:07:47
  about what's going on in their life hear about if somebody's got you know either
• 1:07:51
  medical things are working through or their moms got medical things are working
• 1:07:54
  through it's just like the old days of good old AOL chatroom but you know
• 1:08:00
  they're not trying to sell you you know a timeshare along the way you
• 1:08:05
  know so tip of the day I just want to say something about old
• 1:08:11
  man copper was actually my tip of the day a little while back because I got some
• 1:08:16
  of his beard balm and mustache wax Mike's adventure sparks put me onto that but
• 1:08:22
  he also sells wood what's it called the woodsman wood balm and that's
• 1:08:29
  what's in the picture there and additionally I also got another one of his
• 1:08:35
  thingies which is for knives it's like a metal a metal treatment anti rust type
• 1:08:41
  thing and it's a waxy so I've always put like three in one oil or something or
• 1:08:46
  stuff like that on my pocket knives you know like once every six months or
• 1:08:49
  something but the the sort of waxy bees waxy sort of texture means it's not
• 1:08:55
  gonna drip out and run off you know probably last longer but but he's got this
• 1:08:59
  wood balm and it's meant for like wood handles on an old hammer or on a shovel
• 1:09:05
  or vintage stuff but it really is just boiled linseed oil and beeswax
• 1:09:10
  and a little bit of car nova it's really harmless stuff but it's in a nice easy
• 1:09:17
  to use wax not really a wax it's more like a like a balm you know
• 1:09:23
  it's almost like thicker than Vaseline it's you know it's got a little bit of
• 1:09:27
  texture to it and I I got this vintage clock it's actually right here beside me
• 1:09:32
  got it from my dad who got it in Scotland when I was a baby and it's real
• 1:09:38
  old and. The wood had not had anything put on it at least since I got it and I
• 1:09:43
  took some of this wood balm like again boiled linseed oil which is good for wood
• 1:09:47
  and man is just
• 1:09:51
  gleaming it's when the Sun was out it was really this beautiful luster on the
• 1:09:55
  wood it was really nice so if you guys have like some kind of antique that
• 1:10:00
  you're always trying to treat the wood with boiled linseed oil which is what
• 1:10:04
  they tell us to use on woods think about like rifle stocks or
• 1:10:09
  any kind of stuff like that you know even old furniture and stuff this stuff was
• 1:10:15
  pretty darn sweet man so that's my that's my tip of the day I just want to
• 1:10:32
  like yeah the the waxed canvas and waxed cotton
• 1:10:38
  movement that was real popular like ten years ago I was really into that I've
• 1:10:44
  got little blocks of beeswax all over the house I could probably find one on the
• 1:10:49
  book case behind me no
• 1:10:53
  but yeah you rub it into canvas or run it rub it to cotton and it kind of looks
• 1:10:58
  all chalky on the outside and then you hit it with a hair dryer and it melts in
• 1:11:02
  and becomes the soft and it disappears you can't see it anymore in the cotton or
• 1:11:08
  the canvas do it on like a barn jacket or something like that it you know you
• 1:11:14
  don't rub it on when you first rub it on it looks all waxy and chalky and kind
• 1:11:18
  of gross but like I say you hit it with the heat gun or a hairdryer melts in and
• 1:11:23
  then you don't feel it anymore doesn't feel waxy on your fingers and then rain
• 1:11:28
  just just like you said it bubbles right off it just it's like Raynax on it's
• 1:11:32
  very cool I was watching at one time because I got into watching people build
• 1:11:38
  these old viking tents and and so they were making them from
• 1:11:44
  like scratch you know and they would get the canvas tarp and then they would do
• 1:11:51
  the whole waterproofing thing with the with the linseed oil and the beeswax and
• 1:11:55
  and yeah it was it's an interesting if you've never seen somebody make an old
• 1:11:59
  viking tent like an old viking link to it's a it's an interesting process and
• 1:12:05
  they're really cool and I want to make one someday you need to that would be a
• 1:12:09
  really cool project and there'd be a cool video yeah so we got a we got to have
• 1:12:15

  let me just talk for a second if you don't mind me going on my little value for
• 1:15:27
  value rabbit hole but it's it's kind of important so I so I don't do ads.
• 1:15:33
  And I get emails all the time from people who want to put an ad on a live stream
• 1:15:37
  or they want to put an ad in a video and I don't do them.
• 1:15:40
  I believe instead of value for value which I learned from the great Adam Curry
• 1:15:45
  the face of Gen-X the MTV VJ who went on, to invent podcasting and
• 1:15:50
  Adam and his podcasting co, co-host, invented value for a value which
• 1:15:57
  means that the live stream and the channel itself are supported by the viewers
• 1:16:02
  and the listeners so essentially if you feel like you've received any kind of
• 1:16:06
  value from this channel from the live stream from the podcast from the videos
• 1:16:11
  from hanging out in discord any of that kind of stuff you decide what it's worth
• 1:16:16
  to you and then return it back in the same degree that you think you've really
• 1:16:21
  received so you know you could have spent you spent your hour and a half with me
• 1:16:26
  already tonight you guys could have gone out to a movie you could have gone out
• 1:16:29
  to dinner and instead you decided to hang out with us tonight and hang out with
• 1:16:32
  me and Fred so you know anybody who wants to return that kind of value back to
• 1:16:37
  the channel that can come in the form of leaving your comments in the chat
• 1:16:41
  sharing my videos just clicking like and if you want to consider helping you
• 1:16:48
  know out the channel you can go to donate.winningtheweek.org and make a
• 1:16:53
  financial
• 1:17:18
  contribution I would not turn down if somebody wanted to donate $5,000 I would
• 1:17:23
  not feel bad about that at all but you can give as less I think you can give as
• 1:17:23
  little help people get a free membership and they can watch those super cool
• 1:17:27
  members only videos and feel special about and every once in.all I do
• 1:17:34
  members only community posts too as well something like that but that's not the
• 1:17:38
  reason to do it the reason to do it is to return value for that you feel like
• 1:17:41
  you've got so interesting question from Karen here she and
• 1:17:47
  I are both moderators over at Rob the Meritimers and she says have you seen any
• 1:17:51
  spammers I have not Rob's got the most polite kindest community in the entire
• 1:17:56
  world so easiest place to moderate ever now I haven't seen the most I saw is
• 1:18:01
  people who ask a question and they don't feel like their questions being
• 1:18:05
  answered fast enough so they start spamming the chat with their same question
• 1:18:07
  over and over and I just hide those people for 10 minutes that's it so yeah so
• 1:18:13

• 1:18:58
  rookie year right yeah the valuable one you got was I'm rookie card
• 1:19:04
  try and get try and get packs of WNBA cards for that year
• 1:19:11
  that's this box so one of these boxes these Don Russ panini boxes that I was

  me 24 bucks the same box is
• 1:19:54
  over
• 1:20:13
  the rookie I don't know it depends on it depends on what it is depends on if
• 1:20:19
  it's a signature if you get a signature card thousands thousands of dollars
• 1:20:24
  what's a signature that means she's actually signed it or is that mean something
• 1:20:28
  she actually signed it yeah yeah yeah and
• 1:20:34
  you have one of those you've come across now now I've gotten
• 1:20:40
  signature cards before and I got a rookie signature card for a lesser-known
• 1:20:47
  player it's she's so lesser known that I don't even remember who it was but when
• 1:20:51
  I did the WNBA card opening a couple weeks ago but I usually give these
• 1:20:57
  cards away so when I do my openings on Fridays I never keep the cards I always

  congratulations Jenny we should come up with some kind of like a ward or
• 1:23:40
  something

• 1:23:49
  talking so much but then I then now you just said I was talking yeah you can't
• 1:23:53
  say anything you know just be quiet maybe I'll just shut up you can't say
• 1:23:58
  anything like that yeah ACR says he's the fattest viking ever talking about your
• 1:24:04
  viking yeah ACR is great he's not fat he's a what does
• 1:24:10
  I learned a word he's a uh I think it's endomorph have you ever heard of an
• 1:24:16
  ectomorph mesomorph and endomorph yeah that's a that's a new one on me I learned
• 1:24:21
  that one this week so he's not fat he's a he's an endomorph
• 1:24:29
  yeah I used to be an ectomorph I've turned into a I've turned into a mesomorph
• 1:24:35
  oh yeah with my uh with my uh bound shot that I've been taking for the past year
• 1:24:41
  so so it's a GLP-1 uh shot that you take for losing
• 1:24:47
  weight getting off all your diabetes meds and stuff like that which I wasn't on
• 1:24:52
  a lot I was just on my metformin but very good I mean yeah I was pretty right
• 1:24:56
  and your bicycles 50 miles don't hurt
• 1:25:01
  well I tell you I couldn't do it a year ago I couldn't do it a year ago that's
• 1:25:05
  awesome but I can do it now that's awesome so that's awesome about a year and a
• 1:25:10
  half ago slowly working my way up to my 100 miler a year and a half ago I
• 1:25:14
  totally stopped um pasta and bread and lost 70 pounds in a
• 1:25:20
  year unfortunately well I heard the bread calling and I started eating a little
• 1:25:26
  bit of bread here and there again and I gained about tough made about 15 of it
• 1:25:30
  back so I need to I need to go off it again
• 1:25:36
  oh I've become like a a zep bound evangelist preach it man
• 1:25:41
  it's been I tell you what it's changed my
• 1:25:47
  life changed my life gave me a fighting chance right because you get to a surge
• 1:25:53
  right and if you're just heavy I spent a lot of my adult life stressed out
• 1:25:59
  overweight you know and then I got into the Santa Claus stuff and
• 1:26:05
  that kind of gave me like an excuse to not have to do anything about it
• 1:26:12
  because you know this that and the other thing and you know if you expect people
• 1:26:16
  to be heavy and all this other stuff you know Santa Claus is to be heavy and and
• 1:26:21
  and finally my doctor just said look you are like
• 1:26:27
  you are right there right there from going yeah
• 1:26:34
  and he's like you're gonna have to do something so I started looking into like
• 1:26:39
  bariatric surgery and all sorts they wanted like I've got something called
• 1:26:44
  Barrett's esophagus which is like where your gastric reflux like hardens
• 1:26:50
  the lining and changes the lining in in your esophagus and
• 1:26:55
  so when I went and talked to them about bariatric surgery they were saying we
• 1:27:02
  got to do the complete bypass and I was like no I'm not doing I'm letting you
• 1:27:06
  people like carved me up like that that's not going to happen and so I went back
• 1:27:11
  to my doctor and I said how about the shot he's like well how about the shot you
• 1:27:15
  know you'd be all right with that I was like yeah so he sent me a referral to a
• 1:27:18
  weight management clinic and I started that year and a half later almost a year
• 1:27:23
  and not quite a year and a half but
• 1:27:26
  yeah I'm down a hundred pounds so that makes a lot more sense that you were
• 1:27:31
  playing Santa Claus because when you were saying you were you know doing the
• 1:27:34
  Santa Claus thing and everything I was like okay but he's a little thin for
• 1:27:37
  Santa Claus but that's fine but that makes sense if there was a hundred pound
• 1:27:42
  heavier version of you a while back that would make more sense I will post some
• 1:27:46
  pictures in discord if you guys want to see pictures of me as Santa Claus I'll
• 1:27:51
  write a picture I'm going to post some and some videos that show how much
• 1:27:55
  thinner you are now and let us see what you were the before picture because that
• 1:27:59
  would all make sense look at this alley guys in the chat how's.
• 1:28:03
  it going alley hey so I was going to tell you something about Magic the
• 1:28:08
  Gathering which I don't know anything about it and I don't know anything about
• 1:28:11
  Warhammer 40,000 and I don't know anything about all these games you know but I
• 1:28:18
  was on a work trip once with three other guys
• 1:28:24
  and the hotel that we were staying in for work in the lower open concourses was
• 1:28:30
  hosting a convention for those games and it turns out it's a really really
• 1:28:36
  famous convention we just had never heard of anything about it it's called
• 1:28:40
  Adepticon
• 1:28:42
  so we were kind of wandering around and I was filming for my.
• 1:28:47
  channel which at back then my channel was like a motorcycle buddies channel type
• 1:28:53
  thing but I was always making videos of random just everything I came across
• 1:28:58
  anything so I made a video and at the beginning of the video you know the video
• 1:29:03
  we're walking around and we're just kind of like clueless and not knowing
• 1:29:07
  anything that we're looking at and honestly kind of mocking it and making fun of
• 1:29:12
  it almost saying you know oh we've entered the kingdom of the nerds wow look at
• 1:29:17
  all these people look at all these people with their painted figurines and stuff
• 1:29:20
  because we just didn't know anything at all about it but the the convention went
• 1:29:24
  on and on for miles and the deeper we got into it we realized oh wait a minute
• 1:29:29
  this is actually an art form this isn't just people playing with toys this is
• 1:29:35
  art form these guys have these entire landscape maps built out you know with
• 1:29:40
  like
• 1:29:42
  like built out cities and stuff and then they put their figurines on it that are
• 1:29:46
  very meticulously painted hand painted figurines and then they have all these
• 1:29:50
  rules on how they calculate whether an army can reach another army with tape
• 1:29:55
  measures and blood dice and stuff and we're watching it we're like this is way
• 1:30:00
  bigger than we ever heard of just because we had never heard of it you know
• 1:30:04
  doesn't mean it doesn't exist it doesn't mean it's not huge right and then we
• 1:30:08
  got to the shop portion of the convention the stores and we saw the prices on
• 1:30:13
  all this stuff and we were like yeah we're like we are crazy being in the wrong
• 1:30:17
  business man these things are super expensive so yeah there's a video on
• 1:30:24
  my channel still up it's called adept icon the humbling because we got humbled
• 1:30:30
  we got humbled because we were making fun of something at the beginning that we
• 1:30:34
  totally didn't know about and understand and realized the deeper we got into it
• 1:30:38
  that this is an entire community of people who all share this love for this
• 1:30:44
  collection of games and stuff we saw families that were there together we saw
• 1:30:49
  grandparents with with kids with with grandkids and the parents in the middle
• 1:30:55
  who all were like excitingly going through families of people it was
• 1:31:00
  unbelievably cool so it's very easy one of the most wholesome communities you
• 1:31:07
  could be involved in i think i really learned a lot in that hour or so of
• 1:31:11
  walking around and if you ever go to my channel and click on videos and sort by
• 1:31:16
  views it's actually got a ton of views it it took years and years to grow up but
• 1:31:22
  i think it's got like 40 000 views because so many people are into that content
• 1:31:26
  and you know they were a lot nicer to us in the comments than we deserve because
• 1:31:32
  we were so mean at the beginning you know saying oh this is so dumb this is so
• 1:31:37
  nerdy this is so stupid but because in the video we kind of came to the
• 1:31:42
  realization and admitted that we didn't know what we're talking about people
• 1:31:45
  forgave us and you know they were just happy that people had found their hobby
• 1:31:50
  and thought it was cool which it is cool it's really neat stuff cl on our
• 1:31:55
  channel here is a figurine painter and has some incredibly cool stuff really
• 1:32:01
  i've just seen like in some of her painting videos you'll see stuff sort of
• 1:32:05
  sitting in the background and stuff you know um really cool stuff like that she
• 1:32:09
  i don't think she's ever done any actual videos on that topic but um and here's
• 1:32:15
  a comment from her of course now that i say that we play warhammer and warhammer
• 1:32:19
