Adapting to Tech Hiccups During Live Streams

WEBVTT
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:01.762
Hello and welcome.
00:00:01.762 --> 00:00:03.466
My name is Tom and.
00:00:03.645 --> 00:00:04.147
I'm Heather.
00:00:04.246 --> 00:00:05.570
And you're sitting at the Couples Table, the.
00:00:05.589 --> 00:00:08.214
Couples Table is a live stream podcast here on this channel.
00:00:08.214 --> 00:00:10.102
Join us for better or worse.
00:00:10.122 --> 00:00:10.785
For richer or poorer.
00:00:10.925 --> 00:00:12.368
In sickness and in hell On.
00:00:12.429 --> 00:00:13.973
Thursday instead of Friday this week.
00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:16.585
Yes, because tomorrow we will not be home.
00:00:17.025 --> 00:00:19.271
The mic is pulling down on the thingies there.
00:00:19.650 --> 00:00:20.612
That's why I wore black.
00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:23.463
I had to wear a heavier shirt.
00:00:23.463 --> 00:00:26.391
Okay, so I'm going to check the audio real quick to see if we have audio.
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.732
This was put on the DJR mics at 1.02, so.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:36.302
I'm not 100% sure that.
00:00:37.564 --> 00:00:38.026
Do we have?
00:00:38.426 --> 00:00:39.189
I don't know what Do we?
00:00:39.228 --> 00:00:39.929
have audio.
00:00:39.929 --> 00:00:40.652
Are we on?
00:00:40.871 --> 00:00:41.493
We have audio.
00:00:41.493 --> 00:00:46.746
I don't actually know if it's these mics, it might just be the camera's microphone.
00:00:47.127 --> 00:00:47.707
Oh serious.
00:00:49.512 --> 00:00:50.012
I'm not sure.
00:00:50.012 --> 00:00:56.012
I can't tell because I messed audio up like two minutes before we started the stream and I don't know.
00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:00.485
So yeah, Well, someone will tell us.
00:01:02.343 --> 00:01:05.100
It sounds too echoey to me, Reverby.
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:12.507
Oh for it to be this yeah, so oh man, you're gonna go in there well, I just need to see what's happening with audio okay.
00:01:12.587 --> 00:01:14.331
Well, this is gonna be a fun stream.
00:01:14.331 --> 00:01:18.155
While tom is over there behind the camera, we're just gonna jump in.
00:01:18.155 --> 00:01:19.820
Ernesto, hello and happy thursday.
00:01:19.820 --> 00:01:21.745
I wonder which mics you'll be using.
00:01:21.745 --> 00:01:25.813
Okay, so here's what happened.
00:01:25.813 --> 00:01:32.112
Right Yesterday, I went live for the YouTube huddle up and Tom was there and we used these mice.
00:01:32.112 --> 00:01:35.287
These are the DJI.
00:01:36.129 --> 00:01:36.609
Mic 2.
00:01:37.051 --> 00:01:37.533
Mic 2.
00:01:37.533 --> 00:01:52.152
And it was great, except I am running low on USB ports slots and basically I didn't have the slot that we needed.
00:01:52.152 --> 00:02:02.112
So Tom has an adapter and he was like okay, we're done with the stream, I will save this adapter and put it right here in a safe space so that we can use it for the couples table tomorrow.
00:02:02.112 --> 00:02:03.746
And he forgot where that safe space is.
00:02:05.203 --> 00:02:08.181
Yeah, something's wrong and I don't know what.
00:02:08.181 --> 00:02:10.067
We might just have to both use your microphone.
00:02:10.588 --> 00:02:10.829
Okay.
00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:11.651
I'm not sure.
00:02:11.651 --> 00:02:13.284
I can't figure it out.
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.948
No, the DJI mic is picking up.
00:02:15.948 --> 00:02:16.368
I don't know.
00:02:16.389 --> 00:02:16.569
Is it?
00:02:16.699 --> 00:02:17.985
We hear and see you all.
00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:22.306
I mean the way would be for me to go out here and talk and see if you can hear me.
00:02:23.427 --> 00:02:23.769
Can you?
00:02:23.769 --> 00:02:26.873
Is this, it sounds very weird to me can you?
00:02:26.873 --> 00:02:30.325
Hear me am I not coming through?
00:02:30.325 --> 00:02:32.330
Am I?
00:02:32.330 --> 00:02:34.497
Is this the mic that I am talking into?
00:02:34.497 --> 00:02:36.320
I'm going to talk straight into this mic.
00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:43.405
Or am I being picked up by another mic somewhere else, which is weird because it says streamer x hdmi on ecamm.
00:02:43.405 --> 00:02:48.466
So I don't know what else it would be, but so you know.
00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:50.002
Okay, yeah, it is using these.
00:02:50.824 --> 00:02:51.126
It is.
00:02:51.507 --> 00:02:54.092
It is, but it's weird.
00:02:54.092 --> 00:02:56.473
It doesn't sound as good as it should.
00:02:56.473 --> 00:02:57.299
So I don't know.
00:02:57.299 --> 00:02:59.968
But it is picking this up because it picked me up out in the hallway.
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:10.080
Well, if it sounds bad to the point where no, it's not unusable, it.
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.508
Well, if it sounds bad to the point where no, it's not unusable, it just doesn't sound if you're listening to the audio only version.
00:03:11.508 --> 00:03:12.772
Sorry, sorry, all right.
00:03:12.772 --> 00:03:13.121
Well, let's catch up with the comments.
00:03:13.121 --> 00:03:13.907
Rustic casey mode on the house.
00:03:13.907 --> 00:03:16.301
Uh, jeremy hubble, this thumbnail is cool, tom, either looking guilty or dismissive.
00:03:16.301 --> 00:03:22.282
I actually use the same uh base of the thumbnail for my video I put out on my game.
00:03:22.322 --> 00:03:24.007
I was like yeah, it looks familiar.
00:03:24.328 --> 00:03:25.371
Which we will talk about in a second.
00:03:25.371 --> 00:03:27.085
The RealPelRoom is here checking in.
00:03:27.085 --> 00:03:28.430
Hello, hello Guild's here.
00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:32.230
Hi, homesickmac, call me Cubby Greetings.
00:03:32.230 --> 00:03:33.508
See you all five by five.
00:03:33.508 --> 00:03:34.838
I don't know what that is.
00:03:34.838 --> 00:03:37.205
Dj, dj, dj.
00:03:37.205 --> 00:03:37.987
Our mic is picking up.
00:03:37.987 --> 00:03:38.991
Heather is quiet.
00:03:38.991 --> 00:03:40.731
Heather's mic not picking up.
00:03:40.731 --> 00:03:44.134
Morty, tap the mic and let's see if it makes a terrible sound.
00:03:46.556 --> 00:03:47.157
I can't see.
00:03:47.157 --> 00:03:49.798
The problem is the way the camera is processing audio.
00:03:49.798 --> 00:03:52.000
Today, tom's mic is working, not Heather's Tom.
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.525
on the Streamer X, did you lower the HDMI audio?
00:03:54.525 --> 00:04:02.229
No HomeSickMac says I'm hearing both of you perfectly, only Tom is louder.
00:04:04.421 --> 00:04:06.750
I don't want to grab your microphone on the stream.
00:04:06.750 --> 00:04:09.407
I hate microphone issues on stream.
00:04:09.407 --> 00:04:10.189
I got to tell you.
00:04:10.189 --> 00:04:12.467
I'm so frustrated right now.
00:04:12.741 --> 00:04:13.951
He's so uncomfortable.
00:04:14.051 --> 00:04:16.867
I'm not having fun, no, just it's fine.
00:04:16.867 --> 00:04:22.346
It is not fine, though, because we have to talk for an hour and something is just weird.
00:04:22.346 --> 00:04:25.468
Oh, here we go, here we go, here we go, I might be able to fix it.
00:04:25.468 --> 00:04:27.290
Chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk.
00:04:27.290 --> 00:04:31.675
Thank you, dji, for making this very simple and I'm not being sarcastic.
00:04:31.675 --> 00:04:32.757
That might have sounded sarcastic.
00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:34.661
It was not See.
00:04:34.661 --> 00:04:38.706
Because we're wireless, everyone can hear what you're still saying, even though you're behind the camera.
00:04:38.786 --> 00:04:42.331
Yeah, it's weird because we had to run it through the camera.
00:04:42.331 --> 00:04:55.689
Now it's being run through the cameras, like audio processing, which is another layer of audio processing before it goes into another layer of audio processing, and the streamer X, before it goes into another layer of audio processing, and e-cam, and that's a lot of process.
00:04:55.689 --> 00:04:58.408
Every one of those is a chance for something to get messed up.
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.350
Sounds like you have another mic open besides the DJI mics.
00:05:01.350 --> 00:05:11.706
Um I mean, no, that's the thing is.
00:05:11.706 --> 00:05:12.247
That's the echo thing.
00:05:12.247 --> 00:05:13.750
Yeah, I don't know what the deal is.
00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:14.391
Well, we can keep it short.
00:05:14.391 --> 00:05:15.995
Yeah, I'm today so discombobulated.
00:05:16.014 --> 00:05:25.495
I want to like restart this is the same people I know I just can't think straight it's fine live streaming.
00:05:25.617 --> 00:05:38.850
Everybody can get a little tricky, uh, but aside from that, we will dial in this setup it changes eventually but just up the game on the receiver.
00:05:39.110 --> 00:05:50.903
That will work unfortunately, it's not that simple in this setup no, it's not I mean, well, yeah, that would be the same as just boosting that there.
00:05:51.023 --> 00:05:53.889
So it's yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:53.949 --> 00:06:02.002
So the reason why that wouldn't work it's all because someone lost a freaking two dollar plastic adapter and you know it would fix everything.
00:06:02.081 --> 00:06:02.903
The rcp.
00:06:02.903 --> 00:06:03.867
Is that true?
00:06:04.468 --> 00:06:09.446
yeah, we wouldn't have any of these issues seriously yeah, because we could do plenty of audio.
00:06:09.446 --> 00:06:20.872
Yeah, no I don't want that huge thing on my desk the only time there's two people in here is one hour a week, so it's not worth it.
00:06:20.872 --> 00:06:24.827
It's not worth having a big thing that you don't want taking up desk space for one hour a week.
00:06:24.827 --> 00:06:25.670
It really isn't.
00:06:26.290 --> 00:06:33.874
So, yeah, I mean, the big thing that we need to figure out is the Streamer X has multiple audio.
00:06:33.874 --> 00:06:36.206
It can take multiple audio things.
00:06:36.206 --> 00:06:39.168
I don't know how to get to do that at the same time.
00:06:39.168 --> 00:06:43.023
So it can do XLR, it can do wireless, it can do a headset.
00:06:43.023 --> 00:06:44.827
You have to like, select.
00:06:44.827 --> 00:06:46.321
Do you want one or the other?
00:06:48.024 --> 00:06:53.199
I believe casey moto says the duo would work well, yeah, it's just, it's the roadcaster.
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.065
I believe I lost my train of thought.
00:06:56.065 --> 00:06:57.509
I'm just, I'm just done.
00:06:57.509 --> 00:06:58.752
Let's just talk about other stuff.
00:07:03.064 --> 00:07:12.704
Oh, I'm sorry, it's been a very busy it's been a week, guys, let me tell you, yeah, uh, we're just trying to stay above water.
00:07:12.704 --> 00:07:18.704
Tomorrow we're not gonna be here and that's gonna be fun, but it's like a whole work day of not being here.
00:07:18.704 --> 00:07:34.012
And then tom had a last minute out of town trip, which I don't know if you're allowed to talk about, but I'm sure you will hear about it once he is there and it's very exciting and is probably relevant to everyone here who is watching.
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.185
It would solve some of our problems.
00:07:36.185 --> 00:07:40.644
Oh really, I mean it'd be way overkill, but yeah.
00:07:42.548 --> 00:07:43.031
What are you looking?
00:07:43.091 --> 00:07:45.495
at oh, there's something hanging, there's a wire hanging.
00:07:45.516 --> 00:07:49.877
I don't know what it was uh, so on the road central app you can control the audio inputs.
00:07:49.877 --> 00:07:52.386
It's clunky clunky to work with that's fun.
00:07:52.446 --> 00:07:55.742
I'm gonna do a little exploring then while we chat okay.
00:07:55.963 --> 00:08:07.213
Well, while that's happening, the problem is that we're on these two mics but you can't control them individually, because they are being recognized as one mic input.
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.886
I mean you can control them individually on the receiver there.
00:08:10.086 --> 00:08:11.911
but oh, what do I know?
00:08:11.911 --> 00:08:12.199
The?
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.488
way the camera is I don't know crap about audio.
00:08:14.488 --> 00:08:17.428
It's the camera that has not been.
00:08:17.428 --> 00:08:18.863
Yeah, it was just not.
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:21.988
No Kombucha, not TwitchCon.
00:08:21.988 --> 00:08:25.351
We thought about going to TwitchCon.
00:08:25.372 --> 00:08:25.956
I would like to go.
00:08:25.956 --> 00:08:29.286
I actually just didn't know it was even happening, right now and scheduling wise.
00:08:29.507 --> 00:08:37.741
There's just no way that that was going to be possible they had it in vegas last year and that I was excited to go to, but then they moved it to san diego.
00:08:40.706 --> 00:08:43.909
No are you do, you know what's happening oh, I wasn't sure if you knew it.
00:08:43.909 --> 00:08:44.490
I thought you're trying.
00:08:44.630 --> 00:09:05.692
Oh yeah, no, I'm good okay, um, yeah, so they moved into san diego and so we are now going, not because it's in san diego, but I don't know, it's just a lot yeah you're gonna lock me out of my computer, bro, it's okay, we'll just cancel it oh, my god, it's gonna be so bad.
00:09:07.706 --> 00:09:08.889
I was trying to install something.
00:09:08.889 --> 00:09:12.559
As we're live streaming, I have put on my uh password, my computer.
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.408
I put in three times and I don't want to get locked out of my computer.
00:09:15.408 --> 00:09:19.927
So here's what I did also yesterday, which has kind of been adding to the to the things.
00:09:19.927 --> 00:09:25.123
Is I, uh, before the huddle up, I got the notification.
00:09:25.123 --> 00:09:28.985
That was like, oh, oh, the new OS is available and I was like, oh, I'm going to be good.
00:09:28.985 --> 00:09:36.153
So I installed it and it really messed things up today.
00:09:36.153 --> 00:09:39.149
So I loaded up Ecamm.
00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:50.813
I don't know why this is affecting Ecamm, but like some of my scenes aren't loading properly, affecting Ecamm, but like some of my scenes aren't loading properly, um, my, I'm having this very weird issue which I can't even.
00:09:50.813 --> 00:10:02.847
I don't even know if I can describe this properly, but, um, I think everyone here knows, I think everyone here has done this, but we export single frames from our video editor to use as the thumbnail, to use as a thumbnail.
00:10:02.847 --> 00:10:04.029
So I use final cut pro.
00:10:04.029 --> 00:10:17.490
I export, um single frames and I was doing that and for some reason, when you open up the frame or the screenshot or the picture or whatever, it is like way darker than it actually is in final cut.
00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:24.687
Yeah, and that is after I updated the os, the os, and I have no idea what the heck.
00:10:24.687 --> 00:10:29.118
I don't know if the picture is actually darkened or if preview is just showing it to me.
00:10:29.158 --> 00:10:35.600
I don't think the picture is, because if you upload it to Canva it's not, but in preview you can literally see it change from like bright to dark bright to dark.
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:36.753
It just changes the color.
00:10:36.753 --> 00:10:37.279
It's so weird.
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.370
It's like as if somebody pushed like the auto darken.
00:10:45.701 --> 00:10:53.347
It's almost like the os is trying to like make the pictures look better than they are, but like, please don't, because you want to see what things actually look like so you can edit something in a way that's going to look like what other people see yeah, I have no idea.
00:10:53.427 --> 00:10:57.927
So so now it's like, you know, I I don't know.
00:10:57.927 --> 00:11:02.885
I don't know what I'm looking at because I don't know if it's like, if it's just my computer, or if this actually has photo ways.
00:11:02.885 --> 00:11:14.667
I don't know, and I don't want to have to, like, import everything to a third party app and then re-export just to confirm that it looks the way that it's such a hassle for something that was so simple.
00:11:14.667 --> 00:11:18.003
Yeah, like Jeremy says, I can't wait to see what they're about to announce.
00:11:19.024 --> 00:11:19.767
Who's the oh?
00:11:21.971 --> 00:11:23.354
um, yeah, it's.
00:11:23.354 --> 00:11:31.384
Uh, you will find out on tuesday, someday soon.
00:11:31.384 --> 00:11:31.767
Yeah, I don't know.
00:11:31.767 --> 00:11:32.470
Uh, hey, we're all fine with audio.
00:11:32.470 --> 00:11:33.817
I believe the main thing is you're here, we're chill with you.
00:11:33.836 --> 00:11:41.503
The problem is, my brain gets fixated on things, and so I can't unfix it's like staring at like a broken thing right in the middle of the room.
00:11:41.583 --> 00:11:53.725
Tom has the compulsion to fix it, yeah, and he cannot think about anything else until it is fixed yeah yes, I understand it's okay that's what it is so well I have a question for you, tom.
00:11:53.725 --> 00:11:55.729
Yeah, are we gonna get handles after this?
00:11:56.149 --> 00:11:56.971
I have no idea.
00:11:56.971 --> 00:12:02.361
I'm gonna get a lot of love handles with the amount of handles you've been getting lately, but it would be my last.
00:12:02.361 --> 00:12:03.664
I won't be able to get one for a while.
00:12:03.785 --> 00:12:08.365
I don't know, I don't know, uh, let's see.
00:12:08.365 --> 00:12:14.243
Well, gil says audio sounds better, so there you go I mean, I'm, I'm very the the really nice thing.
00:12:14.303 --> 00:12:19.124
So here's the super cool thing is because we were stuck in this audio situation and someone lost the adapter.
00:12:19.124 --> 00:12:32.171
Uh, it was very cool that I was able to at all just clip the dji mic thing onto the camera, which had never had a mic clipped onto it ever, because it's a new camera and at least it works to some degree without me having to change anything.
00:12:32.171 --> 00:12:33.705
So that's cool.
00:12:33.705 --> 00:12:38.087
Um, now it's just trying to dial in the rest.
00:12:38.168 --> 00:12:38.870
We will get there.
00:12:38.870 --> 00:12:41.494
This has been a journey.
00:12:41.514 --> 00:12:42.460
We were going to do it before.
00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:50.206
The problem was this episode got bumped up, the week was busy and we didn't have time to like do it between now and then.
00:12:50.206 --> 00:12:53.522
So by next couple's table it should be ironed out.
00:12:54.524 --> 00:13:04.972
We just didn't have the time you're not gonna be here next week, so we'll see I'm coming I'm only gone for two days uh, I see there's a beta firmware update for the rcp for virtual inputs.
00:13:05.013 --> 00:13:25.225
Only for pc, though yes, they released that today, which is super cool, um, and it will come to mac, but it's basically what people have been asking for since, like, the roadcaster came out, which is you can assign, it can show up and be assigned as like audio output input sources for tons of different apps.
00:13:25.225 --> 00:13:30.399
So, on the roadcast you have all your faders, like one fader could be spotify, one could be discord one could be whatever.
00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:33.389
Isn't that that the go g the?
00:13:33.428 --> 00:13:42.936
go xlr yeah did that very well and was very similar, but they like went out of business or something so oh, they did yeah, they shut down I don't know why.
00:13:42.975 --> 00:13:44.801
It was very weird people were so like mad about they had a huge fan base.
00:13:44.821 --> 00:13:45.322
But I don't know why.
00:13:45.322 --> 00:13:46.383
It was very weird what people were so mad about.
00:13:46.383 --> 00:13:47.043
They had a huge fan base.
00:13:47.043 --> 00:13:47.543
But I don't know.
00:13:47.543 --> 00:13:53.929
I'm going to guess somewhere someone in the tech sphere may or may not have managed their business well, believe it or not.
00:13:53.929 --> 00:13:54.811
Crazy, I know.
00:13:54.811 --> 00:14:01.657
And maybe they didn't do well, but anyway, it's cool that the RODECaster is jumping in to do that.
00:14:01.657 --> 00:14:04.493
So there's a beta thing that came out today.
00:14:04.493 --> 00:14:06.984
It works on windows and the mac version, obviously, is coming soon.
00:14:06.984 --> 00:14:08.226
Yeah, cool.
00:14:08.226 --> 00:14:09.350
So that's a cool one.
00:14:09.610 --> 00:14:14.086
That's a very cool one yeah and uh, what else is up?
00:14:15.691 --> 00:14:16.673
so many things.
00:14:16.673 --> 00:14:26.293
I'm like I was like very happy prior to our audio things because you, you yeah what like you can't think about anything else, I could feel you like, still trying to.
00:14:26.513 --> 00:14:26.933
I'm trying.
00:14:26.933 --> 00:14:30.788
I have like a splitting headache now, but this has been this month.
00:14:30.788 --> 00:14:38.889
So, on top of everything, this month has been the busiest month ever period, so I'm a little drained from it.
00:14:38.889 --> 00:14:49.779
Even good things are draining, yeah, but the thing I got, so I'm editing a video right now and I'm very happy with that.
00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:53.107
The video I filmed that I'm editing is.
00:14:53.629 --> 00:14:54.610
There's a couple of things there.
00:14:54.610 --> 00:14:57.388
One is it's a video I've been waiting to film since january.
00:14:57.388 --> 00:14:59.736
Yes, I can finally film it, make it.
00:14:59.736 --> 00:15:00.860
I'm very excited about that.
00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:03.089
Yeah, that's just like a huge relief.
00:15:03.089 --> 00:15:07.644
And then the other thing is because I've been doing like 10 different projects at once right now.
00:15:07.644 --> 00:15:20.167
This was the last one of the current batch of like projects that I'm working on and I'm done filming, which means I can finally actually put my office back together, cause it has just been like you want to know why little things get lost.
00:15:20.167 --> 00:15:27.139
It's like just a complete war zone in there, like, like.
00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:29.489
It's like just a complete war zone in there, like, like it's just been chaos for ages.
00:15:29.489 --> 00:15:30.592
Now you can't even move in there anymore.
00:15:30.592 --> 00:15:35.868
Um, and now I'm done and I can actually like clean it up and put things back together, which I'm so excited for.
00:15:35.868 --> 00:15:39.395
I cannot wait for that um yeah, so that's good.
00:15:39.416 --> 00:15:50.528
Yay, jeremy says doing a live at 3 pm today to show how to get virtual channels to work on the map oh sweet, that's awesome, that's, that's gonna be super helpful yeah, uh, let's see.
00:15:50.880 --> 00:15:58.388
Well, I put out a video on my gaming channel for the first time in a year and Tom is in it.
00:15:58.682 --> 00:16:04.452
So if you want to see us talk about video games for 20 minutes, go check out that video on Heather, just Play.
00:16:04.452 --> 00:16:06.081
But I'm very excited about it.
00:16:06.081 --> 00:16:34.673
Um, when we recorded the video, I we had the new camera, but we I forgot to change the 1080 4k thing in ecam, so it's in 1080 but, um, but it still looks so good and I'm actually I had so much fun editing this one, um, and it's like so nice to talk about something that isn't like content creation.
00:16:34.673 --> 00:16:36.546
It's like a nice outlet.
00:16:36.546 --> 00:16:40.465
So I'm really looking forward to getting back at the channel and everyone has been so nice.
00:16:40.465 --> 00:16:41.884
All these people have been like.
00:16:41.945 --> 00:16:44.027
Oh my gosh, it's so good that you're back and blah, blah.
00:16:44.027 --> 00:16:53.596
I'm like people were like so excited to to watch this video, click on it and the feedback you got's been awesome, which it didn't really click to me.
00:16:53.596 --> 00:16:56.904
That like, yeah, of course, this is the first video you put out on that channel in a long time.
00:16:56.904 --> 00:17:04.848
I guess you've been doing like community posts over there and then you did like the keyboard review which felt related, but that was on the on the tutorial channel.
00:17:04.848 --> 00:17:10.125
So like I guess in my mind it was like, oh, yeah, you've been active on that channel, but no, this was the first upload.
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:11.666
No, I got demonetized.
00:17:11.666 --> 00:17:14.560
I didn't even know you could get demonetized, but I was.
00:17:14.560 --> 00:17:24.034
I don't know what the window is six months, maybe that like if you are inactive on your YouTube channel for six months, you get demonetized for some reason.
00:17:24.034 --> 00:17:28.664
So which is fine, like you know, it's like 2000 subscribers or whatever.
00:17:28.664 --> 00:17:34.442
But uh, I have to like re meet the requirements.
00:17:34.983 --> 00:17:38.332
So that's how long I've so it's not demonetized for content or anything.
00:17:38.332 --> 00:17:40.723
It's demonetized like the channel for inactivity.
00:17:41.285 --> 00:17:43.930
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no strikes or anything like that.
00:17:43.930 --> 00:17:47.896
But it's like if, if you don't, I think at the very least you have to do a community post.
00:17:47.896 --> 00:17:51.023
But I just like completely walked away for that channel for a bit.
00:17:51.104 --> 00:17:54.612
So, um, I'm glad you're back on that channel yeah, me too, I'm.
00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:57.223
I'm just really excited about it.
00:17:57.223 --> 00:17:58.346
The feedback's been great.
00:17:58.346 --> 00:18:05.103
So yeah, uh, mr g, how shallow just the field do you have?
00:18:05.103 --> 00:18:08.169
When Heather leans in over the table, tom goes slightly out of focus.
00:18:08.169 --> 00:18:08.962
This is a problem.
00:18:08.962 --> 00:18:12.448
This is why I did manual focus for so long.
00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:14.047
But then we were just both out of focus.
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:22.107
No, I don't know, it wasn't a problem before, but, like you know what it is, it's because we don't have mics.
00:18:23.300 --> 00:18:24.365
Oh, to keep us in one spot.
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:41.890
Yeah, so obviously there are two of us and there's one camera, and so if any of us is, not in the plane, yeah um, but usually we use mics on mic stands and um, why?
00:18:41.890 --> 00:18:43.192
Why are you not using a mic?
00:18:43.252 --> 00:18:45.557
it's because because I can't no, but why why?
00:18:45.557 --> 00:18:48.306
Because they have nowhere to connect a mic.
00:18:48.626 --> 00:18:49.028
That's why.
00:18:49.349 --> 00:18:49.611
Yeah.
00:18:50.582 --> 00:18:51.325
We have no ports.
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:57.170
Well, it's not that there's no ports, it's that last week we tried combining USB and XLR.
00:18:57.250 --> 00:18:58.051
Oh, that's what it was.
00:18:58.180 --> 00:19:02.009
Yeah, that made an echo, and so it's like, yeah, it's trying to figure that whole thing out.
00:19:02.250 --> 00:19:13.363
Yeah, so you had the idea of I use the Shure MV7, of possibly changing that to USB instead of XLR mv7, of possibly changing that to usb instead of xlr.
00:19:13.363 --> 00:19:15.267
That way you can use an usb mic and then hopefully the usb xlr combination.
00:19:15.346 --> 00:19:17.131
I'm very sus about that the thing.
00:19:17.131 --> 00:19:17.992
That's why the streamer x.
00:19:17.992 --> 00:19:22.089
I'm like, okay, you can do multiple mics done and it just does everything.
00:19:22.089 --> 00:19:28.964
Just can't get those signals out at the same time because even if you're using xlr usb, it's all going through the same interface.
00:19:28.964 --> 00:19:31.612
Ah, um, which is what we want.
00:19:31.859 --> 00:19:34.526
World, according to Briggs says I can't work if my office is a mess.
00:19:35.228 --> 00:19:37.806
Yeah, it's very hard.
00:19:37.826 --> 00:19:42.825
Yeah, for sure, but hopefully we're turning the corner.
00:19:42.825 --> 00:19:43.907
I think we're turning the corner.
00:19:44.127 --> 00:19:44.669
That's the last.
00:19:44.669 --> 00:19:52.701
Well, okay, that's not the last piece, because there's an organizational piece, don't jinx it Well.
00:19:52.701 --> 00:19:54.028
Figuring out the audio, though, is like simple audio.
00:19:54.028 --> 00:19:58.949
Simple audio to just add in one more person on rare occasions is really the last production piece.
00:19:58.949 --> 00:19:59.951
And then it's organization.
00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:04.266
Yeah, we have to redo the setup again One more time.
00:20:04.266 --> 00:20:08.046
I can't believe.
00:20:08.046 --> 00:20:12.108
I just it's funny how complicated it is.
00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:12.681
It's.
00:20:12.681 --> 00:20:17.887
It was funny, Now it's not as funny anymore.
00:20:18.580 --> 00:20:23.051
Oh well, I feel bad because the moving parts are in your head.
00:20:23.901 --> 00:20:42.531
I think a big helpful thing, though, was you deciding to not do two computers, because then it's like, okay, let's's just we don't have all the pieces right now, but like now, we know what to focus on, what to put together, versus trying to make everything do everything yeah that's hard, that's really hard yeah, uh.
00:20:42.633 --> 00:20:43.273
So what else is up?
00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.041
oh, I don't know.
00:20:45.041 --> 00:20:47.345
My brain is fried now.
00:20:48.705 --> 00:21:15.155
It's just a fried egg uh, well, um, yeah, we can keep this episode short this might be an unlisted episode afterwards uh well, you know, I think it's good that 150,000 subscribers later, and what?
00:21:15.155 --> 00:21:17.578
Eight years later, we're still figuring it out.
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:19.826
Oh yeah, it's confusing every time.
00:21:19.826 --> 00:21:22.381
I mean, there's things you know, like something goes, and also like.
00:21:22.421 --> 00:21:25.851
The thing that I really like I just cut you off, I'm sorry is that it's just us.
00:21:25.851 --> 00:21:27.164
It's a mom-pop shop.
00:21:27.164 --> 00:21:29.144
We don't have a production team.
00:21:29.163 --> 00:21:32.092
You don't have a random guy over there to move a thing around and do stuff.
00:21:33.540 --> 00:21:35.188
And when things go wrong, we just have to deal.
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:39.797
Something goes wrong in every live stream to some degree.
00:21:40.298 --> 00:21:40.400
Yeah.
00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:41.690
At least every one I've ever done.
00:21:41.690 --> 00:21:43.384
No, that's not true.
00:21:43.384 --> 00:21:46.269
Oh, I can't think of one where nothing has gone wrong.
00:21:47.320 --> 00:21:49.950
I feel like the couples table we got it down.
00:21:50.339 --> 00:21:50.803
We got it down.
00:21:50.803 --> 00:21:54.560
There's usually like some audio level issue or some.
00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:55.844
There's something but like.
00:21:55.844 --> 00:22:03.268
Sometimes it's small, sometimes it's larger and for the most part, I feel like I haven't been this frustrated in a live stream in maybe three years.
00:22:03.268 --> 00:22:10.622
So right now, in this moment not in this moment, but like trying to fix issues and frustrated, like flustered and frustrated.
00:22:10.622 --> 00:22:12.244
I've gotten a lot better with that.
00:22:12.244 --> 00:22:23.844
I think it's just because, like literally it's, you know, the stream is at one and I'm trying to plug in a microphone at 102 and it's like there's no, there's just no time to test practice anything and yeah
00:22:24.325 --> 00:22:27.188
that's hard it's hard, but we're gonna deal with it.
00:22:27.188 --> 00:22:39.039
Uh yeah, so today is probably gonna be a um short episode.
00:22:39.059 --> 00:22:40.583
That's fine I mean, here's the actual life.
00:22:40.583 --> 00:22:41.465
Lesson is yesterday.
00:22:41.465 --> 00:22:43.221
We're like okay, we have this crazy schedule this week.
00:22:43.221 --> 00:22:44.929
Do we even do an episode this week?
00:22:45.128 --> 00:22:52.730
yeah and we said, yeah, we should, because the consistency is really important, although we were both kind of on the fence of like, should we not, because schedule is insane right now.
00:22:52.730 --> 00:22:55.801
Um, and we decided to for the sake of consistency.
00:22:55.801 --> 00:22:57.125
I think that was a bad decision.
00:22:57.125 --> 00:22:58.790
Oh, I don't think we should.
00:22:58.790 --> 00:23:17.134
I mean, I in the time I thought it was a good decision, but obviously probably not the right decision, and maybe that's a good lesson to learn yes, I was just having a conversation with another creator friend who was saying, who had the reminder and reminded me that you run the YouTube channel?
00:23:17.154 --> 00:23:25.147
the YouTube channel does not run you and that is just a good reminder of like you're in charge.
00:23:25.147 --> 00:23:29.434
You can kind of check in and be like, yeah, is this something that needs to be done?
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.486
Sometimes it's hard to feel that way.
00:23:31.486 --> 00:23:32.608
That's an important reminder.
00:23:32.608 --> 00:23:38.186
But I mean, like the couples table is fun and you hang out and you talk, but it's like it throws off people, aren't you know?
00:23:38.186 --> 00:23:49.890
I've had people message me and they're like oh, like, I'm not going to watch today because Thursday you know like so it's like you don't want to, not you know it's tough, like what do you do?
00:23:49.930 --> 00:23:50.810
how do you navigate that?
00:23:50.810 --> 00:23:57.275
Yeah, try different things at different times and see what works and what doesn't, I guess so the thing that we're doing tomorrow is actually really exciting.
00:23:57.615 --> 00:24:09.625
Um, there's a local business actually it's our local chamber of commerce and um, they have a program which many other cities around the world have a similar program.
00:24:09.625 --> 00:24:15.905
It's just just called leadership, whatever the city name is, like Leadership LA or whatever.
00:24:15.905 --> 00:24:29.727
So we're doing the leadership program, equivalent of our area, and basically it's a like six to nine month program that basically gives you a behind the scenes orientation of your region.
00:24:29.727 --> 00:24:40.494
So everything from industry to business, to nonprofit, to education, to residential, all of that like how, how, the, how your area works.
00:24:40.494 --> 00:24:44.428
You get to tour like places that nobody else gets to see.
00:24:44.428 --> 00:24:46.271
You know, it's very like.
00:24:46.271 --> 00:24:55.626
It's like a special, reputable program that is done in many, many other cities around the world, and so that's what we're doing on Friday.
00:24:55.626 --> 00:25:01.465
Tomorrow is actually our kickoff for the first day in this program and we're really excited about it.
00:25:01.465 --> 00:25:03.407
I think we're the only content creators.
00:25:03.407 --> 00:25:05.267
Both of us were accepted.
00:25:05.267 --> 00:25:07.467
Half the applications were turned down.
00:25:07.721 --> 00:25:20.400
So it's like I don't know, it's kind of exciting, but it's the whole day yeah and, uh, I don't remember the last time we were gone for the whole day, like together.
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:23.768
Yeah, it doesn't happen much yeah, sorry, I cut you off.
00:25:23.867 --> 00:25:27.060
I keep doing that today, uh I was gonna say yeah at first.
00:25:27.060 --> 00:25:27.381
I didn't know.
00:25:27.381 --> 00:25:38.174
I thought it was one of those things like you know, you pay your fee, oh you get accepted like amazing, um no, like turn like 50 percent except.
00:25:38.174 --> 00:25:42.367
And then once I realized that I was like oh no, and then I got really nervous yeah, I'm not really nervous.
00:25:42.388 --> 00:25:49.428
Well because at first I was like, okay, I want to do this, but is it like a legit thing, or am I just kind of paying a lot of money to like pay a lot of money?
00:25:49.428 --> 00:25:52.643
Yeah and then it was like, oh, no, that's not the case.
00:25:52.643 --> 00:25:54.087
And I was like, wait, no, it's legit.
00:25:54.269 --> 00:26:06.473
No, I really want it yeah so I'm excited because, uh, it is a lot of business people and I think for me it's, I think it's a good.
00:26:06.473 --> 00:26:26.362
I always get like re-inspired being around other entrepreneurs and because we're the only content creators, it's nice to just see how people in other industries run their business right like I think that's always like there's someone in our group who runs a tabletop gaming store yeah, how cool is that that's awesome.
00:26:26.382 --> 00:26:30.161
I just want to like that is very awesome tell me your story and how do you do this?
00:26:30.161 --> 00:26:39.584
Like I'm, I'm excited to like share that whole journey, so I'm probably going to share that over on my Instagram, but that's what we're going to be doing tomorrow and it goes until June.
00:26:39.924 --> 00:26:44.346
So not from tomorrow, once a month, yeah, we're not gone till June.
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.945
Morty says have you been playing with your new camera at all, having it set up?
00:26:48.945 --> 00:26:57.326
No, with your new camera at all outside of having it set up?
00:26:57.326 --> 00:27:00.153
Uh, no, so I I thought about trying to like learn how to use it.
00:27:00.153 --> 00:27:02.179
But the problem is that it is like so set up for this setup.
00:27:02.179 --> 00:27:03.381
It's got the prompter on it.
00:27:03.381 --> 00:27:05.343
It's like the power.
00:27:05.343 --> 00:27:07.346
The power is a dummy battery.
00:27:07.346 --> 00:27:16.040
It's all like strapped in with like wire, cable holders, velcro and all of that.
00:27:16.101 --> 00:27:19.327
So it's not, unfortunately, it's not easy for me to just like.
00:27:19.327 --> 00:27:30.532
Well, I think it'd be easy for you because you know what everything is, but yeah, it would be like, it would be like hard for me to take it off and like go with it.
00:27:30.532 --> 00:27:43.805
But I try to um play with my ZV-1, to try to like I don't know figure out if I can take better shots of my setup with that camera instead of the phone.
00:27:43.805 --> 00:27:47.393
I actually decided that the 4k on the phone looks better.
00:27:47.393 --> 00:27:51.167
I don't know, um, but yeah, so I haven haven't had a chance.
00:27:51.167 --> 00:27:56.527
I'm sure you would like to play, but your, your camera is objectively better, isn't it?
00:27:57.169 --> 00:28:02.513
I mean, the guts are basically the same oh, the same yeah, so the, the form factor is just different.
00:28:02.513 --> 00:28:06.865
This is like my camera without having to be giant, which is nice, yeah.
00:28:06.865 --> 00:28:16.807
And there's some cool which I guess would actually be really fun for vlogging, like the, the, the ai thing that like tracks you a little bit, like moves.
00:28:16.807 --> 00:28:20.986
The camera doesn't move, but it can move the frame around you and follow you a little bit.
00:28:20.986 --> 00:28:22.009
Actually looks pretty decent.
00:28:22.009 --> 00:28:28.288
There's fun stuff like that oh, this does that yeah, this camera which is very, very cool.
00:28:28.890 --> 00:28:29.652
Oh, and also morty.
00:28:29.672 --> 00:28:35.611
There's a chance I might get to see you soon yes I have to email you I said did you talk to morty?
00:28:35.611 --> 00:28:38.499
Uh, jeremy, don't beat yourself up.
00:28:38.499 --> 00:28:39.584
Number one rule have fun.
00:28:39.584 --> 00:28:41.653
Otherwise, always the nine to five.
00:28:41.653 --> 00:28:43.098
There's always a nine to five.
00:28:43.098 --> 00:28:46.205
Yeah, uh, didn't we say that?
00:28:46.205 --> 00:28:54.130
Oh yeah, literally like two hours ago, we were like oh, this is why we don't do the nine to five, because we're gonna be away from oh, I think that's what you're talking about.
00:28:54.150 --> 00:28:55.742
Yeah, we were like, oh no, what do we do?
00:28:55.742 --> 00:29:03.432
And I was like, wait, if we both had nine to five jobs, we'd be gone the same times all day every day because even when I was working, you were still working from home.
00:29:03.432 --> 00:29:08.928
So it was like I don't know, there's just, there's always like a someone at home base.
00:29:09.028 --> 00:29:22.886
You know, yeah and yeah, the the that's nice yeah, it's very nice no, yeah, we're definitely, we're having fun, it's just, there's just a lot yeah, no, you can be overwhelmed with good things.
00:29:22.967 --> 00:29:29.347
It's, it's, it's keeping track of things and it's yeah, it's just a lot.
00:29:29.347 --> 00:29:34.784
I don't know how to describe it I mean, it's better than nothing you know, yeah, I mean that's I.
00:29:34.784 --> 00:29:35.708
I know that's what I'm like.
00:29:35.708 --> 00:29:36.593
Okay, it's good.
00:29:36.593 --> 00:29:38.140
And the good news too is there's also.
00:29:38.140 --> 00:29:40.130
There is like a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:29:40.130 --> 00:29:42.823
It's not like, well, I guess this is their schedule forever.
00:29:42.823 --> 00:29:48.460
It's like okay, you're gonna have a very busy four to six weeks and then things can kind of go a little back to normal.
00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:50.622
Yeah, exactly.
00:29:51.862 --> 00:29:54.343
I am bummed, though, that I updated my OS.
00:29:55.284 --> 00:29:55.784
See, that's the thing.
00:29:55.864 --> 00:30:10.290
I never update the OS, I update the phone right away, see that's what made me do it, because you he updated his iOS and was so excited watching tutorials, blah blah, and I was like I never update the OS, ever until I have to.
00:30:10.290 --> 00:30:17.115
And then I saw you being really excited about it and I was like, well, maybe there's some exciting updates and I think my phone auto-updates.
00:30:17.115 --> 00:30:23.897
So I was like it's probably going to iPhone, mac, I don't know, and so I updated it and that was a mistake.
00:30:26.619 --> 00:30:40.599
Yeah, the mobile stuff I have found is better the OS, especially when it's like you got final cut and ecam and all these things where it's like let's just make sure I'm gonna let other people test that out and then I'll join in like two or three months yeah, that's kind of that's what I said, so that's a lesson.
00:30:40.921 --> 00:30:47.882
There's another lesson for you yeah, I mean, which is kind of dumb, because it should be working well by the time they release the update.
00:30:47.882 --> 00:30:53.291
But I guess there's only so much you can actually do yeah, apple is just a small little startup company.
00:30:54.032 --> 00:31:00.469
They'll figure it out at some point uh yeah, so let's see what else is going on.
00:31:01.490 --> 00:31:07.907
I'm gonna check in on how this video I released my gopro video on the day that dji happened to release oh yeah, so how do you feel about that?
00:31:07.907 --> 00:31:11.555
I had no idea.
00:31:11.555 --> 00:31:22.228
Dji released the Action 5, which is like their action camera, as the name implies, and so there's a huge embargo thing.
00:31:22.228 --> 00:31:27.613
And then it was just I happened to finally finish my GoPro video, which, freaking, took forever.
00:31:27.940 --> 00:31:29.887
That was a beast of a video.
00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:37.324
I really, really liked the way that it came out um and heather says that as somebody who's not interested in those cameras and watched all like 37 minutes, I watched the whole.
00:31:37.443 --> 00:31:41.471
I mean I I try to watch all the tom's videos 37 minutes.
00:31:41.471 --> 00:31:43.604
I was like, oh, I might need a break right.
00:31:43.724 --> 00:31:46.111
I paused it like three or four times, like take a break.
00:31:46.111 --> 00:31:48.644
Yeah, no, it was like it just flew by.
00:31:48.704 --> 00:31:56.790
It was like you know, he has a way of explaining things and, like the way that you edited, this one was very I don't know, just passed by fast.
00:31:56.810 --> 00:31:57.653
This was a tricky one.
00:31:57.653 --> 00:31:58.161
This was a.
00:31:58.161 --> 00:32:03.641
This was like a beast of a video to put together, and I like it.
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:04.421
It came out really well.
00:32:04.501 --> 00:32:09.086
I was like, oh perfect, that'll come out on Thursday, which I thought worked well, because they announced the new GoPro like two weeks ago.
00:32:09.086 --> 00:32:12.569
It's officially like in stores next week.
00:32:12.569 --> 00:32:14.071
So I was like, oh perfect.
00:32:14.071 --> 00:32:19.037
Like the initial announcement hype has worn off, but people are still like, oh, I don't want to get it.
00:32:19.037 --> 00:32:20.645
I think it's, it's available, like.
00:32:20.645 --> 00:32:21.528
I've seen people with it.
00:32:21.528 --> 00:32:25.085
So I think some stores are already selling it, but it's not officially officially available till next week.
00:32:25.085 --> 00:32:26.946
I was like, oh perfect.
00:32:26.946 --> 00:32:27.007
So.
00:32:27.007 --> 00:32:35.142
And I was like, oh perfect, so before people just go to Best Buy or whatever and get it, they can watch the video and see Great.
00:32:35.142 --> 00:32:38.768
They just happen to be literally like at the same time as the embargo for the DJI thing.
00:32:38.768 --> 00:32:43.115
So it's literally like all the DJI things at my GoPro video, all the DJI things.
00:32:46.261 --> 00:32:49.568
So it got a little bit buried by that or did it?
00:32:49.628 --> 00:32:58.127
you know it looks like it did and and then I've had people like thinking that that was somehow a strategic thing.
00:32:58.127 --> 00:33:15.390
Like I scheduled this video like three days ago and I have no idea about any DJ embargo products so I assumed they were going to update their camera, because they update it annually and it's been a year, so that's why I knew that they know it's going to be the same day as that.
00:33:15.410 --> 00:33:18.984
I don't think that's a bad thing no, I mean it's fine.
00:33:18.984 --> 00:33:21.531
It's totally fine, because I mean, would you have changed it?
00:33:24.045 --> 00:33:24.807
probably not.
00:33:24.807 --> 00:33:29.989
I actually, if I could have it, would have loved to put the gopro video out last week, but I just couldn't get it done in time.
00:33:30.048 --> 00:33:31.616
Yeah, and, and then I this is what I was thinking.
00:33:31.616 --> 00:33:32.200
You did so much this week.
00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:36.230
I had filmed a bunch of like special footage and then formatted the memory card.
00:33:36.230 --> 00:33:38.145
So that was awesome.
00:33:38.145 --> 00:33:44.690
So I had to like refilm a bunch of GoPro footage, cause obviously you need footage from the GoPro in the GoPro review.
00:33:44.951 --> 00:33:48.854
See, we still run into hiccups, oh yeah they're just all the but that.
00:33:48.973 --> 00:33:54.637
See that, and that part of that is because I'm also working on like five projects at once and it's like jumping from this one to that one, to this.
00:33:54.637 --> 00:33:55.564
You know what?
00:33:55.845 --> 00:34:03.549
uh I remember when peter lingren came to visit you were like wow, I don't even know what it would be like to work on multiple videos at the same time peter's crazy.
00:34:03.569 --> 00:34:05.922
Yeah, I don't have his skill.
00:34:05.922 --> 00:34:12.474
I I've done okay so far, but Peter, I watched him in person film three different videos at the same time.
00:34:12.673 --> 00:34:14.063
Yeah, Just flawlessly.
00:34:14.405 --> 00:34:25.019
Yeah With no like he didn't have, like his notes, doc or anything, he would just literally be like he'd be like, okay, I need the, I need like two shots of this lens and then it's over here.
00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:35.782
I need to do this talking head part over here and do this, it over here and do this.
00:34:35.782 --> 00:34:36.202
It's all in his head.
00:34:36.202 --> 00:34:37.889
He could be in one location and three different angles, three different videos.
00:34:37.889 --> 00:34:41.179
And then he he is meticulous at the end of every day of putting every file in every proper folder so that like you have everything there, nothing's mixed up.
00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:46.126
Yeah it was, uh, that was, that was just crazy.
00:34:47.289 --> 00:34:51.315
That was really fun to watch uh, jeremy says, been working with sequoia for a couple months now.
00:34:51.315 --> 00:34:52.561
It works so far.
00:34:52.561 --> 00:35:01.565
Yeah, it wasn't like a new os, it was just like like an update no, it's a new os oh, shoot serious oh I didn't know.
00:35:01.585 --> 00:35:09.987
It was like a full yeah, that's the october, or I guess in october the september see, I thought it was like a mini, just like.
00:35:10.148 --> 00:35:10.628
Here's a.
00:35:10.628 --> 00:35:14.094
Patch 2.1, yeah, I thought it was a patch.
00:35:16.782 --> 00:35:25.286
No, you're on the Sequoias Sequoia, mac OS Sequoia, oh yeah, sequoia 15.0.
00:35:27.521 --> 00:35:33.088
I have no idea, okay, so obviously some things are a little.
00:35:33.548 --> 00:35:37.411
Yeah, the preview thing is very weird because you can see it changing the colors of files.
00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:42.547
It's almost like the way that it handles color data oh my God, my video shot up to 516.
00:35:43.269 --> 00:35:43.550
Wow.
00:35:43.739 --> 00:35:45.045
From 367.
00:35:45.621 --> 00:35:46.525
Since we've been doing this.
00:35:46.686 --> 00:35:46.846
Yeah.
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:49.965
That's very cool.
00:35:50.367 --> 00:35:50.829
I don't know.
00:35:51.481 --> 00:35:52.003
Are you nervous?
00:35:52.003 --> 00:35:58.708
Now I'm a little bit nervous, that's a lot do you remember the first viral video that I made on yours?
00:35:58.789 --> 00:36:11.431
yeah, no, the apple watch one oh, that was crazy yeah, every time you refreshed it was thousands yeah thousands, but see, that's the power of apple, yeah, which is why everyone died yeah, it has not gotten a view.
00:36:11.492 --> 00:36:12.760
I mean, of course, why would it get a view?
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.130
But yeah, it shot up to okay.
00:36:15.130 --> 00:36:23.992
At the time my channel was at barely over a thousand subscribers really yeah, most videos were getting there's only a year old, like it was 2018.
00:36:23.992 --> 00:36:33.943
Most of my videos would maybe cross 100 views oh my god, that's, adorable this one was getting like 10 to 20 000 views a day that was crazy.
00:36:34.003 --> 00:36:43.329
I remember refreshing, and it was like oh my gosh, oh my gosh yeah, but then it literally it shot up to I think, 104 000 and I think it has been there ever since.
00:36:43.329 --> 00:36:44.932
It's just never moved.
00:36:44.932 --> 00:36:50.811
Um, which is also where I learned, I was like, okay, obviously it's not going to stay on this trajectory, it's going to peter off, speaking of peter.
00:36:50.811 --> 00:36:51.115
But then it that learned.
00:36:51.115 --> 00:36:52.239
I was like, okay, obviously it's not going to stay on this trajectory, it's going to peter off speaking of peter.
00:36:52.619 --> 00:36:57.284
But then it that was where I was, like this is artificial Like YouTube was like done.
00:36:57.545 --> 00:36:58.307
next video.
00:36:58.429 --> 00:37:01.007
Yeah, like it didn't get a single view the next day.
00:37:01.128 --> 00:37:03.768
Yeah, it went from 10,000 in a day to like 12.
00:37:03.768 --> 00:37:19.777
And I was like that's not really a publishing schedule because I put that video out.
00:37:19.777 --> 00:37:23.510
It's really funny because I was making another video I was working really hard on.
00:37:23.860 --> 00:37:25.987
Yeah, it was two videos you were making that day.
00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:27.264
I was pulling a Peter Lindgren there.
00:37:27.264 --> 00:37:37.664
No, I was yeah, because I was doing a day in the life video of me like being a teacher and doing all the things and then that video is like a 200 views yeah, and, but that was the one I like.
00:37:37.664 --> 00:37:39.952
Oh my gosh, I had the gopro in the car on the way.
00:37:41.483 --> 00:37:42.264
I love that video.
00:37:42.585 --> 00:37:50.927
Um, there's like special title effects and stuff, and then at the end of the day, it just so happened that, like the new apple watch, there's a series four got delivered.
00:37:50.927 --> 00:37:58.811
I had the original Apple Watch and I was like, oh so the video ends with me doing that and I was like you know, I'm very curious how much faster the new Apple Watch is than the original.
00:37:58.811 --> 00:38:01.364
So I think I want to do a video like that and that's like how the video ended.
00:38:01.364 --> 00:38:14.809
I didn't know I was going to make that video, from the idea of I should make a to the video being uploaded was less than two hours, because it's a very it's like top down shot, like here's how long it takes to do this on this watch, this watch, blah, blah, blah.
00:38:15.771 --> 00:38:17.612
It's just like I thought it was simple, fun, interesting.
00:38:17.612 --> 00:38:24.878
And then I remember again at this point, videos could go days and maybe maybe hit 100 views maybe.
00:38:24.878 --> 00:38:34.766
And I remember waking up the next morning and it was at like 1,000 something and I was like I don't write, like this number just doesn't compute in this.
00:38:34.766 --> 00:38:37.572
I don't know this number in this area, like what does that mean?
00:38:37.572 --> 00:38:40.771
And then, like, swiped it again, it was like a different number.
00:38:40.771 --> 00:38:43.079
It's like what's happening?
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:49.262
Like I thought there was like a virus or something like a defect and then it was like oh no, this video's just going crazy.
00:38:49.262 --> 00:38:56.358
I remember we went out to breakfast or something and it was just like oh my gosh, how crazy but yeah, it's all that to say.
00:38:56.719 --> 00:39:07.686
The whole point of me telling that was it's very exciting, but then there is sort of like a nervous feeling oh yeah like you can feel eyeballs turning yeah, yes and they all turned away.
00:39:09.608 --> 00:39:11.130
Well, see, that just goes to show.
00:39:11.130 --> 00:39:20.161
Like you know, the virality is like cool, but if you're not sticking around, Well, I mean that.
00:39:20.302 --> 00:39:25.052
That's why then people will do videos on every update, every Apple model, every.
00:39:25.172 --> 00:39:25.833
No, I get it.
00:39:26.019 --> 00:39:27.246
Accessory every, everything.
00:39:28.561 --> 00:39:29.746
Which is cool if you're into that.
00:39:30.139 --> 00:39:33.463
If you're into it, but if you're not into it, you're into it, but if you're not into it, you're doing it just for that reason.
00:39:33.463 --> 00:39:37.592
I've known people for whom then it becomes a grind.
00:39:37.592 --> 00:39:45.202
We are back to nine to five, yeah yeah, a nine to five would just be better, because it's just like you're just making the same video over and, over and over again.
00:39:45.222 --> 00:40:12.313
You don't even want to make it in the first place yeah, yeah it's weird so, uh, yeah, well, I haven't had a video go over 500 in so long well, I mean, you haven't uploaded on this channel in over a year yeah, you know, my canvas tutorials are vibing at the 80s which is great thankful, like you know, but it's weird to see.
00:40:12.313 --> 00:40:15.076
It's weird to see I think it's.
00:40:15.135 --> 00:40:29.451
I've always felt that your gaming channel is something very special in terms of the community you built around it, and even say that in the video you upload, say or say a version of that, and I think that this is just proof of that, like how excited people can be after such a thing.
00:40:29.451 --> 00:40:34.226
Someone was even, like I was just thinking the other day that I missed you like I know, apropos of, nothing they were.
00:40:34.226 --> 00:40:42.371
They were having the thought of like apropos nothing, uh expat animator oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in a while.
00:40:42.391 --> 00:40:44.262
How are you finally able to catch you live?
00:40:44.262 --> 00:40:47.693
Well, today is usually not the day we go live, but we're not.
00:40:48.215 --> 00:40:48.775
We're not gonna be.
00:40:48.775 --> 00:40:49.740
You didn't miss much.
00:40:49.740 --> 00:40:50.380
At the beginning.
00:40:50.380 --> 00:40:51.202
Let me tell you.
00:40:53.103 --> 00:40:54.965
This is a rough stream, but you know what?
00:40:54.965 --> 00:41:17.331
Okay, one of the reasons why I like the couples table is because this is a chance for I want people to see what our version of being full-time content creators looks like, because I feel like there's a lot of know day in the life and vlogs and interviews of people who are a bajillion.
00:41:17.331 --> 00:41:22.045
You know subscribers and they have teams and they have this and that.
00:41:22.045 --> 00:41:24.253
Whatever and I I like that.
00:41:24.253 --> 00:41:27.382
You know create the thing that you want to exist in the world.
00:41:27.382 --> 00:41:30.489
I want us to show every single day.
00:41:30.489 --> 00:41:33.625
We work on this thing and it's not always easy and there's hiccups.
00:41:33.625 --> 00:41:36.231
Even how many years later, how many videos have we made?
00:41:36.231 --> 00:41:37.463
How many streams have we done?
00:41:37.463 --> 00:41:46.505
We're still figuring it out and it's like something that you constantly have to like learn the skill like you cannot.
00:41:47.867 --> 00:41:53.715
You know like things change so much I just did the thing, maybe two weeks ago.
00:41:53.715 --> 00:41:59.436
I recorded a huge chunk of a video and the camera wasn't on what video was that?
00:41:59.436 --> 00:41:59.978
I don't remember.
00:41:59.998 --> 00:42:05.009
It was when I had to just redo oh yeah, you, I was napping and tom was like.
00:42:05.009 --> 00:42:05.869
I did it twice.
00:42:06.231 --> 00:42:08.902
I was like oh, which is like that's a mistake.
00:42:08.902 --> 00:42:10.688
That's a mistake I haven't made in years.
00:42:10.688 --> 00:42:14.125
I've learned my lesson, I have all my monitors to do it, but something just like.
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:16.521
You know like, are you okay Did?
00:42:16.561 --> 00:42:17.603
you just fall.
00:42:17.603 --> 00:42:19.771
You fell Something just like.
00:42:20.099 --> 00:42:30.771
So yesterday I recorded a Canvas tutorial which should be coming out later today, but I paused because I had to switch.
00:42:30.771 --> 00:42:40.548
I was doing a screen share and I had to switch programs and when you switch programs and the screen share in Ecamm is focused on one program, it shows your whole desktop and like zooms in and out weird.
00:42:40.588 --> 00:42:40.809
Right.
00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:46.346
So I had to like pause and then switch to the program and all that, and I was like, oh my God, did I un like, did I?
00:42:46.346 --> 00:42:48.891
Really like unpause, the pause or whatever.
00:42:48.891 --> 00:42:57.275
So I was still recording and I was, was and it was fine, um, but there's definitely times where I'm like, oh my god, did I I hit pause?
00:42:57.275 --> 00:42:57.817
Did I unpause?
00:42:57.817 --> 00:42:58.559
Am I still recording?
00:42:58.780 --> 00:43:08.027
yeah I have to redo that whole thing I know the video I was recording this morning had four cameras plus audio audio from every camera.
00:43:08.027 --> 00:43:22.514
No, no, like a separate audio plus four cameras, no, two separate audio sources plus four cameras, and I'm trying to make sure everything is focused, exposed, trying to be similar in terms of color, trying to remember what is where.
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:28.213
It's so crazy how you enjoy that, because the idea of using four cameras gives me anxiety.
00:43:28.213 --> 00:43:31.275
I mean it depends Using four cameras gives me anxiety.
00:43:31.295 --> 00:43:38.918
I mean, it depends the thing that I like filming videos with multiple cameras, like sometimes it's necessary, like if you're doing something where you need a top-down shot, you just have it.
00:43:38.918 --> 00:43:41.469
It's great.
00:43:41.469 --> 00:43:53.032
And sometimes just having the two talking head cameras is nice, because even if you don't have a lot of insert footage or B-roll or whatever, you can just switching between those is like cool visual appeal.
00:43:53.032 --> 00:43:59.105
Like just by adding a second camera you have your main angle, your secondary angle and then, if you like, push in on your main angle.
00:43:59.144 --> 00:44:03.478
that's like three, three shots no one tells tom to do this, he just loves it.
00:44:03.478 --> 00:44:04.822
You just love doing it.
00:44:04.822 --> 00:44:07.449
You love making it complicated, but it looks great but?
00:44:07.630 --> 00:44:17.429
but see, to me that's making it simple, because that means, in editing, before I've even filmed one piece of b-roll, I already have three camera angles to cut between for visual interest and for covering things up and all that kind of stuff.
00:44:17.429 --> 00:44:22.228
So it's yeah um, yes, and then you can, you know what anti-jump cut.
00:44:22.509 --> 00:44:24.653
So I try to avoid jump cuts I'm not.
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:26.963
I'm not anti them like I have no problem when I see them.
00:44:27.025 --> 00:44:30.490
I use jump cuts all the time, yeah but for your videos you don't want the jump cuts.
00:44:30.490 --> 00:44:39.512
And you know, sometimes I prove his videos and then he'll accidentally forget, like, like you left in a jump cut and I'm no, not, you me, I get thrown off.
00:44:39.512 --> 00:44:42.358
I'm like yeah, I try.
00:44:42.358 --> 00:44:43.501
You forgot something here.
00:44:43.641 --> 00:45:00.282
I try to leave him in when there's a purpose or an effect, so like sometimes for like comedic or even just like sometimes I'll say like, oh, like this right here and I'll go grab like a camera lens out of my drawers in the back and so I don't mind leaving the jump cut where you see me kind of turn and then it jump cuts to me like turning back around with a thing, because it.
00:45:00.945 --> 00:45:13.610
It kind of shows like oh, he went and got something yeah yeah storytelling I guess, I guess that is part of storytelling, yeah, but yeah, otherwise I try to avoid them or patch them over with, uh, you know, with b-roll or something which is just.
00:45:13.610 --> 00:45:16.976
I like that in my videos and it's.
00:45:16.976 --> 00:45:23.983
It is kind of a fun challenge to see how everything can kind of flow together and piece it together in kind of magical ways.
00:45:23.983 --> 00:45:27.688
Um, one magical ways.
00:45:27.688 --> 00:45:34.806
It is fun one thing, that that, uh, because you, only you have your one camera yeah one camera.
00:45:34.846 --> 00:45:36.389
You have one camera.
00:45:36.389 --> 00:45:37.092
That's not what I meant.
00:45:37.092 --> 00:45:41.400
I meant, um, maybe it was over three years ago I started.
00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:43.461
Pretty much every video has a second camera.
00:45:43.461 --> 00:45:54.534
Yeah, um, and I switched that up maybe eight months ago a little more, because what I was doing was I was talking to the camera and I set camera, just sort of filming.
00:45:54.894 --> 00:45:56.077
Your side angle yeah.
00:45:56.586 --> 00:46:11.376
And the reason I did that was because that was for editing, because you you not only get those three shots main angle, push in plus side angle, but you also then um, you can kind of cut to that and cover up mistakes and things like like jump cuts.
00:46:11.376 --> 00:46:15.170
You can cover up jump cuts by cutting to the second angle?
00:46:15.190 --> 00:46:21.291
yeah, because it looks like it is a jump cut, but you put the second angle, so it just looks like you cut to a different angle instead of a jump.
00:46:21.311 --> 00:46:22.355
Yeah, and smooth it over.
00:46:22.355 --> 00:46:25.130
Um, and people are very divided on that.
00:46:25.130 --> 00:46:26.514
Some people love it, some people don't.
00:46:26.514 --> 00:46:29.449
I I see on other people's channels sometimes I love it, sometimes I don't.
00:46:29.449 --> 00:46:31.454
So it's very contextual stylist.
00:46:31.494 --> 00:46:32.797
It's a stylist.
00:46:32.817 --> 00:46:38.773
Yeah, it's just there's no right or wrong it's just a style choice I started doing it because I would see documentaries where they would have the person being interviewed.
00:46:38.773 --> 00:46:41.751
It would show them like a shot where you'd see them talking to the camera or whatever.
00:46:41.771 --> 00:46:43.684
Yeah, yeah, I like that so I that's.
00:46:43.864 --> 00:46:46.288
That was where I got the idea and then it helped with editing.
00:46:46.288 --> 00:46:50.512
Yeah, but some people get really mad, which maybe is specifically on youtube.
00:46:50.512 --> 00:46:58.099
They do not like it when you're not looking at the camera because it feels impersonal and it feels like, oh, I've had.
00:46:58.099 --> 00:47:06.603
That has been like a very divisive thing and so comment yeah, many, many, many times and so what is your reply?
00:47:06.943 --> 00:47:07.989
many times, I mean.
00:47:08.009 --> 00:47:10.240
my reply I've explained in videos is what I told you like.
00:47:10.240 --> 00:47:13.266
Well, this is an editing thing, like so it is a stylistic choice.
00:47:13.266 --> 00:47:15.228
I, I enjoy it and it also helps me with editing.
00:47:15.228 --> 00:47:22.572
But for whatever reason, like eight or nine months ago, I was doing a thing and then I started looking.
00:47:22.572 --> 00:47:27.936
I started looking, I looked at the other camera for a thing and I really liked how it looked and I was like, oh, that's nice.
00:47:27.936 --> 00:47:29.016
Oh, yeah.
00:47:29.637 --> 00:47:38.730
And since then I was like I do kind of like when I am addressing each camera and you don't see me Like two different people in the room.
00:47:38.730 --> 00:47:42.418
Yeah, but I'm always talking to you.
00:47:42.478 --> 00:47:45.452
the viewer Like it's always a direct yeah, but then you're just like looking over here.
00:47:46.648 --> 00:47:50.577
It helps with different points, especially because one is wider and one is like more cropped in.
00:47:50.577 --> 00:47:54.489
So it's like you know, know, today I'm talking about the gopro hero 10.
00:47:54.489 --> 00:47:58.588
I just want you to know, gopro sent the hero 10, but it's not a sponsored video like it's.
00:47:58.588 --> 00:48:13.268
You can kind of do that, that sort of thing, and so since then I haven't had just the side shot anymore, but it makes filming and editing much harder, because now I'm very conscious of when you're cutting.
00:48:13.347 --> 00:48:21.695
Yeah, so it's almost like I have to catch a mistake or catch a thing and then consciously go like this part is going to be to this video or this camera and this part to this one.
00:48:21.695 --> 00:48:23.235
So it actually does that.
00:48:23.235 --> 00:48:33.414
It proves my point of it was great for editing, because it just saves you if you don't want jump cuts, yeah, but you like how this looks better I do like how it looks better, but it does not.
00:48:33.626 --> 00:48:34.509
Now it doesn't save what I did.
00:48:34.509 --> 00:48:38.492
I didn't even notice that, but now that you've mentioned it, yeah, I haven't seen this side of your head.
00:48:40.264 --> 00:48:40.726
So now?
00:48:40.726 --> 00:48:42.349
Now it's just back to B-roll.
00:48:42.349 --> 00:48:43.992
If I need to cover something, I'll just put a B-roll.
00:48:45.637 --> 00:48:52.726
The road to health rewind what did I miss at the beginning?
00:48:52.726 --> 00:48:54.871
You activated my fomo, oh just audio issues, it's just tech issues, nothing, I mean.
00:48:54.871 --> 00:49:01.612
We, I have to say we're at the top of the hour and I I felt us almost give up in the middle I was, I was gonna call it.
00:49:01.652 --> 00:49:03.275
I was like, let's just go get ice cream.
00:49:03.275 --> 00:49:09.565
Like I want to go drown my sorrows in a medium dish of brownie dough right now we did it, though.
00:49:09.684 --> 00:49:10.909
Good job see.
00:49:10.989 --> 00:49:18.742
Sometimes you just gotta push through, okay well, it's nice when you also have supportive people who are like chill, it's cool yeah, there wasn't it.
00:49:18.842 --> 00:49:25.434
I can't even imagine so I was like this stream sucks um.
00:49:25.434 --> 00:49:31.271
Let's see jeremy says interesting youtube throwing up commercials on mobile for mobile, but not desktop for stream.
00:49:31.371 --> 00:49:32.873
Are you watching on both at the same time?
00:49:32.873 --> 00:49:34.677
I like it.
00:49:34.677 --> 00:49:35.398
I like it.
00:49:35.398 --> 00:49:35.925
Gil says.
00:49:36.005 --> 00:49:38.134
I forgot to hit record on a client's video, the other day.
00:49:38.134 --> 00:49:40.393
Luckily I wasn't too far in.
00:49:41.527 --> 00:49:50.007
I've had that feeling where you just kind of glance over and something's not, it either stopped or never started, or the feeling you're like all right, I'm done, I'm going gonna stop recording.
00:49:50.007 --> 00:49:50.728
And then you hear it.
00:49:50.847 --> 00:49:52.371
You hear it start recording.
00:49:52.371 --> 00:49:53.413
That's the worst.
00:49:53.413 --> 00:49:55.797
That is the freaking worst like what's that now?
00:49:55.976 --> 00:50:02.826
oh my god, my heart like because you know what I have done before luckily, not often is what I was doing the two cameras.
00:50:02.826 --> 00:50:20.217
I've accidentally done that with my main camera, but not the second one okay and no, but I can't, because it's the side of my freaking head and and I'm like, oh my God, I have a 45 gigabyte file of the side of my head and I have nothing for me looking at the camera.
00:50:20.536 --> 00:50:23.391
Let's see, I love using a second camera to hide jump cuts.
00:50:23.391 --> 00:50:24.175
There we go.
00:50:24.175 --> 00:50:28.521
Jeremy says I'm grilling chicken for gumbo, so need be mobile, that sounds awesome.
00:50:28.521 --> 00:50:29.364
Yeah, that sounds delicious.
00:50:29.465 --> 00:50:33.173
I don't know what life you're living, but it sounds like a great life have we even had gumbo.
00:50:33.173 --> 00:50:34.998
No.
00:50:35.264 --> 00:50:36.670
I don't think we've had gumbo together.
00:50:37.492 --> 00:50:41.235
No, I don't know when the last time I would have had gumbo is.
00:50:41.766 --> 00:50:45.436
I feel like your mom ordered gumbo at that German restaurant that we used to go to.
00:50:46.768 --> 00:50:55.869
Oh yeah, because I was like oh, it's like a thing it's a real thing.
00:50:55.889 --> 00:50:57.592
Yeah, she ordered a jumbo gumbo anyway.
00:50:57.592 --> 00:51:00.918
I I just I want to remember we pushed through and we did it yeah did you have fun?
00:51:01.286 --> 00:51:10.268
it did so you got there yeah, it just look how cute he is you know it takes a while to like I know the stress hormones need to go away.
00:51:10.289 --> 00:51:22.009
I I know I can feel the discombobulation and I was like, oh, literally, physically, you have to wait for all that stress To drain out Before you can like Be at peace.
00:51:22.028 --> 00:51:23.672
Yeah, it's like you want to, but you're like I.
00:51:23.873 --> 00:51:33.525
Yeah, and I was like, I'm like subjects that kind of copy.
00:51:33.565 --> 00:51:34.407
So I was like ice cream.
00:51:34.407 --> 00:51:35.009
Can we just like?
00:51:35.009 --> 00:51:36.090
Can I have my big red?
00:51:36.090 --> 00:51:41.746
Button to just like eject, oh man oh look, real pale room went to handles for the first time this week.
00:51:41.766 --> 00:51:49.186
Coffee with heath, omg yeah, oh, my god those handles influencers I can't even tell you how I mean.
00:51:49.186 --> 00:51:56.164
Look, I can't tell you how many people we have sent to Handles Like so many.
00:51:56.405 --> 00:51:58.972
Yeah, Handles, we got affiliate, we got promo code.
00:51:59.072 --> 00:52:00.016
Worldwide.
00:52:00.016 --> 00:52:04.777
Okay, well, I don't know if they're not in the US, but definitely, like in other states, people have gone to Handles.
00:52:04.836 --> 00:52:07.630
Yeah, people have sent you like messages of them in Handles.
00:52:09.235 --> 00:52:10.338
It's good, I don't know.
00:52:13.885 --> 00:52:13.925
It.
00:52:13.925 --> 00:52:14.547
It's good, I don't know.
00:52:14.567 --> 00:52:15.809
It's really fun because they have such a big menu.
00:52:15.809 --> 00:52:17.273
It's fun to see what people order coffee with heath sounds.
00:52:17.273 --> 00:52:26.597
That sounds good yeah, gil, I have a buddy who has a sony recording chime as a tech sound and oh god, that is what a nightmare.
00:52:26.717 --> 00:52:34.858
Oh my god, oh that sound can you imagine if his phone is like on during recording.
00:52:34.858 --> 00:52:36.987
Oh, I just homesick masters.
00:52:37.027 --> 00:52:37.469
I love this.
00:52:37.469 --> 00:52:38.751
Guys enjoy the ice cream.
00:52:38.751 --> 00:52:40.295
Yeah well, are we doing it?
00:52:40.295 --> 00:52:40.737
The problem?
00:52:40.737 --> 00:52:41.405
Here's the problem.
00:52:41.405 --> 00:52:48.193
We had ice cream yesterday oh goodness so it's.
00:52:48.193 --> 00:52:51.077
It's not a once a week situation, it's a twice.
00:52:51.077 --> 00:52:56.108
Yeah, so I should probably go get my a1c checked pretty soon.
00:52:56.108 --> 00:53:01.764
The spruce lodge hey guys, did you see the new elgato stand coming out?
00:53:01.764 --> 00:53:03.389
Also your thoughts on the new road update?
00:53:03.389 --> 00:53:04.311
I did so.
00:53:04.793 --> 00:53:10.434
Tom bought a I'm actually gonna go grab it, because I can't, because I'm wireless there you go.
00:53:10.514 --> 00:53:14.650
We didn't have a gear of the week segment we didn't have a gear of the week segment today because it was just too crazy.
00:53:14.650 --> 00:53:19.860
He bought a new monitoring monitor.
00:53:19.860 --> 00:53:23.675
It's a monitor that you use to monitor.
00:53:25.268 --> 00:53:26.552
It's just a computer display.
00:53:26.552 --> 00:53:28.297
This was $50.
00:53:28.297 --> 00:53:32.590
It's a little 15 inch HDMI monitor.
00:53:33.632 --> 00:53:36.231
Yes, and you use it to like view your camera.
00:53:36.251 --> 00:53:38.545
You can connect it to your camera, you can connect it to your computer.
00:53:38.545 --> 00:53:48.934
Um, you can actually your atem if you want to see, like all the multi-cam and everything, yeah, but the problem is that it doesn't have a stand, so he 3d printed this one and it's been great.
00:53:49.375 --> 00:54:01.137
But I just saw, uh, elgato, like they put out a instagram post of an ipad on that desk stand and it was just like the ipad was just like.
00:54:01.137 --> 00:54:05.414
You know, there's like two clips and it was just in midair and I was like, oh, you should totally.
00:54:05.474 --> 00:54:11.766
Yeah, it looks almost like the rode ds2 stand that I use for my mic a lot, but instead of a mic mount it's got like a clamp.
00:54:11.766 --> 00:54:15.320
I don't know how wide the clamp goes, but Elgato did send a message.
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:20.253
They were like, oh, something about desk, something about a desk stand sending desk stand.
00:54:20.253 --> 00:54:24.492
And I was like so, and I did get a notification that something got delivered to our PO box yesterday.
00:54:24.512 --> 00:54:29.695
So I think there might be one sitting there which would be perfect, because I would love to be able to.
00:54:29.695 --> 00:54:40.050
This stand's good, but it's just a little lightweight and I would love to be able to.
00:54:40.050 --> 00:54:43.340
Yeah, I wish this had a like a tripod mount, that's, you know, 50 bucks, but the screen itself I can't believe it's 50 bucks.
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:47.893
It's like it's so cool, um so I'm pretty sure you're gonna be using that the desk stand if this fits in it.
00:54:47.932 --> 00:54:50.168
Yeah, because this is very lightweight, so it shouldn't like topple over.
00:54:50.168 --> 00:54:51.192
So anyway, thoughts on that.
00:54:51.192 --> 00:54:52.014
It super cool.
00:54:52.014 --> 00:54:53.681
Elgato is just kicking all the butts.
00:54:54.001 --> 00:54:54.563
I know they are.
00:54:54.563 --> 00:54:56.289
I mean, I told them I posted on their thing.
00:54:56.289 --> 00:54:57.333
I was like you guys are killing it.
00:54:57.333 --> 00:54:59.130
They did their like roundup or whatever.
00:54:59.130 --> 00:55:22.186
Um, oh, actually that's what I wanted to talk about today.
00:55:22.186 --> 00:55:25.090
Video I don't know when recently, of everything they've been working on the past month and they are coming out with communities.
00:55:25.110 --> 00:55:29.297
So, um, the equivalent of a like discord, mighty networks thing some kind of built in to youtube which is like crazy, like patreon, we're not just you can.
00:55:29.297 --> 00:55:33.164
You can make posts, but your viewers can make posts, add photos, do polls.
00:55:34.648 --> 00:55:36.675
That is huge.
00:55:36.675 --> 00:55:40.456
I think that's like I don't know.
00:55:40.456 --> 00:55:41.992
I think it's a it's funny.
00:55:41.992 --> 00:55:43.871
I think it's a great thing for creators.
00:55:43.871 --> 00:55:47.775
I feel bad for community platforms because I think.
00:55:49.867 --> 00:55:50.831
I mean YouTube is looking.
00:55:50.831 --> 00:55:52.711
What are people leaving our platform for?
00:55:52.711 --> 00:55:56.675
Put that on our platform instead which is good and bad.
00:55:56.744 --> 00:56:07.496
I've always been the proponent of like don't put all your eggs in one basket, but I also know the ease on the viewer's end when everything is just all in one place.
00:56:07.856 --> 00:56:09.288
Well, and the Because here's.
00:56:09.288 --> 00:56:09.829
I mean we could.
00:56:09.829 --> 00:56:10.753
Well, we're at the.
00:56:11.733 --> 00:56:13.067
Well, we can save for next, we can make it.
00:56:13.067 --> 00:56:32.916
Yeah, let's say we can make up for the couple minutes of no content at the beginning just jump to this part yeah, but I I've been struggling with that, as like with patreon and youtube yes, yeah, we I mean, we've been talking about it a lot tom has memberships, paid memberships, on both patreon and they're the same same, same price People in here are parts of that.
00:56:34.405 --> 00:56:37.175
I have preferred Patreon because it's separate.
00:56:37.175 --> 00:56:40.074
They do take less of a cut, but more because it's separate.
00:56:40.074 --> 00:56:48.168
And when Patreon, when it comes to actually creating posts on Patreon, like if you do a video post, it's higher quality than a YouTube video.
00:56:48.168 --> 00:56:52.032
If you want to do a text post, you can format it the same way you would format like a blog.
00:56:52.032 --> 00:56:56.996
You can actually, you know, indent, italicize, hyperlink, add in photos, all that kind of stuff.
00:56:56.996 --> 00:57:01.059
Um, which YouTube community posts are garbage.
00:57:01.340 --> 00:57:02.280
It's just a wall of text.
00:57:08.985 --> 00:57:09.585
You can kind of put some space.
00:57:09.585 --> 00:57:14.137
I mean, yeah, it's limited, it's limited, it's really bad, it's like really bad, um, and sometimes even that text doesn't carry over into the actual post.
00:57:14.137 --> 00:57:24.130
But my bigger thing was, just like YouTube memberships get thrown into your one Google AdSense account, so all the eggs are in one basket.
00:57:24.130 --> 00:57:41.965
But it's impossible for me to ignore the fact that, after having both up for four years now virtually no one goes to patreon and I very much appreciate, appreciate the people who do and I feel like but it's, it's every day someone signs up on youtube.
00:57:41.985 --> 00:57:43.672
The problem with patreon is the same.
00:57:43.672 --> 00:57:49.130
It's the same problem as like thinkific, where there's a marketplace built in.
00:57:49.130 --> 00:58:03.092
So I feel like the people who actively use Patreon are patrons of multiple creators and every time they get the like hey, you're getting charged for 10 creators, they're going to evaluate, like I should probably knock one of these off.
00:58:03.092 --> 00:58:06.005
And so you know, I feel like it's a lot.
00:58:06.005 --> 00:58:12.838
It's a big leap for new people who aren't, who don't use Patreon, to become a new patron.
00:58:12.838 --> 00:58:32.307
And then the people who actively use it are constantly evaluating whether they are going to remain a patron or not yeah, I mean obviously, if you're doing not youtube, so if you're doing like a podcast, whatever, um it makes sense then patreon is the way to way to go and I really like patreon and I like a lot of the stuff that they've added.
00:58:37.105 --> 00:58:44.431
but it's like it's becoming we were already having the discussion Like I was talking to you about, like, at a certain point I feel like I'm trying to push a boulder uphill, when I could just jump in a flowing river and go with the flow.
00:58:44.711 --> 00:58:46.597
Exactly that's what I, that's what I told Tom.
00:58:46.597 --> 00:58:58.664
I was like you know, I think, instead of trying to do both knock off Patreon and then double down on YouTube memberships and I bet it would be a lot more successful.
00:58:58.784 --> 00:59:01.914
Well, that was before YouTube made this announcement.
00:59:02.054 --> 00:59:17.557
Yeah, so it's not globally available yet, but it's rolling out and, like I don't know, it was a three minute video that talked about all the things that are releasing, so it's like you know 30 seconds of their whole video, but, um, it looked really cool like it looked.
00:59:17.557 --> 00:59:19.771
I mean it's definitely a new feature.
00:59:19.771 --> 00:59:22.302
Uh, charlotte drew says youtube communities and courses.
00:59:22.302 --> 00:59:23.907
Yeah, they're doing courses.
00:59:23.947 --> 00:59:28.920
Yeah, I mean youtube's kind of killing it and it's all free.
00:59:29.181 --> 00:59:32.733
It's insane because like to host your courses, kajabi, boom, boom.
00:59:32.733 --> 00:59:33.474
How much are you paying?
00:59:33.474 --> 00:59:35.914
Then Mighty Networks for your communities how much are you paying?
00:59:35.914 --> 00:59:40.724
Like you know, it's like paid memberships Patreon, how much are you paying?
00:59:40.724 --> 00:59:44.974
So then, when you look at it as like YouTube does take a bigger cut but like is it a bigger cut?
00:59:44.974 --> 00:59:46.978
You're not paying a subscription.
00:59:47.025 --> 00:59:49.494
Yeah, it costs me $1,000 a year to host my courses.
00:59:49.494 --> 00:59:53.588
That's a lot of money.
00:59:53.608 --> 00:59:54.309
That's a lot of money.
00:59:54.329 --> 01:00:07.516
Yeah, someone, multiple people, are paying for that when they buy your course yeah, it takes, you know, the first, whatever it is, the first five courses I sell every year have to pay break even yeah um uh, do either of you have the access to the course feature yet?
01:00:07.556 --> 01:00:10.188
well, let me ask you this are you planning to put your courses there?
01:00:10.710 --> 01:00:19.913
I, I definitely want to check it out and either make something, depending on how it works, either make something for it or make it another way to get access to my courses.
01:00:19.913 --> 01:00:33.152
But yeah, because the thing like going back to the other discussion of the thing with youtube channel memberships posting to your members currently, because that community thing isn't there yet kind of sucks.
01:00:33.152 --> 01:00:40.112
But if you want to share members only videos, members only live streams, that kind of stuff, it's so well integrated.
01:00:40.112 --> 01:00:44.268
Or do a live stream with members only chat, it's incredible, obviously it's well integrated.
01:00:44.268 --> 01:00:53.253
But if you're running, uh, youtube and that, so like I can't do a members only live stream because then people on patreon can't watch it, so I have to do an unlisted live stream and share the link to both places.
01:00:53.253 --> 01:00:58.492
I can't do members-only chat because then people on Patreon can't participate and that's the problem, because you're in two places.
01:00:58.612 --> 01:01:03.666
Yeah Right, so if you were either, or like if you were only on Patreon, it'd be one thing which I was thinking of.
01:01:04.146 --> 01:01:04.766
The opposite.
01:01:04.766 --> 01:01:08.969
I was like I'm going to shut down YouTube channel members and just double down on.
01:01:08.989 --> 01:01:09.550
Patreon.
01:01:09.550 --> 01:01:11.532
How many people, so many people.
01:01:11.552 --> 01:01:15.795
YouTube has three times the numbers of Patreon.
01:01:15.795 --> 01:01:17.155
I'd say double down on that yeah.
01:01:17.155 --> 01:01:20.318
Yeah, and that was before YouTube announced all this.
01:01:20.318 --> 01:01:25.541
So I feel like at a certain point, I just have to go this is what it is With the flow.
01:01:25.541 --> 01:01:27.103
Go with the flow, exactly.
01:01:28.166 --> 01:01:31.688
Well, we are at the top of the hour and it sounds like we have a lot more to talk about.
01:01:31.688 --> 01:01:33.793
We will expound on this discussion.
01:01:33.793 --> 01:01:35.737
What are you looking at?
01:01:41.246 --> 01:01:43.789
I was seeing Morty's got a run and I was saying don't like, don't get too tired on your run.
01:01:43.789 --> 01:01:51.980
And then I was thinking because so the thing with both our Apple Watches because we have the Series 8 Apple Watch, they have blood oxygen monitoring, which is disabled.
01:01:51.980 --> 01:01:54.373
Now is eight Apple Watch, they have blood oxygen monitoring, which is disabled.
01:01:54.373 --> 01:01:58.289
Now, like Apple doesn't sell watches in the US that have it because there was a lawsuit with some other company that had the patent or something.
01:01:58.289 --> 01:02:04.717
So it's kind of a cool feature that you can have, but you don't get in new ones and I ordered a new watch.
01:02:04.717 --> 01:02:06.746
So I'm like, oh, I lose blood oxygen tomorrow.
01:02:06.746 --> 01:02:13.027
So I was looking at my blood oxygen level because in the health app on the phone you can track it.
01:02:13.027 --> 01:02:13.909
I promise this is related.
01:02:13.929 --> 01:02:14.791
Where are we going, babe?
01:02:15.112 --> 01:02:20.411
And I was like, oh, okay, like typically it's between you know like 96 and 100% or whatever, like it should be.
01:02:20.411 --> 01:02:24.588
But I was like, oh, let me look at the whole year, like what is my range over the past year?
01:02:24.588 --> 01:02:30.878
And my lowest was 84, which, like your blood oxygen, really shouldn't go below 90 ever, like that's bad.
01:02:30.878 --> 01:02:32.760
You want to know when it was.
01:02:33.985 --> 01:02:34.807
When you had COVID.
01:02:35.769 --> 01:02:38.076
No, it was the turkey trot.
01:02:38.076 --> 01:02:43.009
Which the turkey trot two years ago on Thanksgiving is what I did get COVID.
01:02:43.009 --> 01:02:46.777
And then this past year I mean, it's so much fun, I had a great time.
01:02:46.777 --> 01:02:52.353
This past year is when I hurt my hip, which is barely recovered now.
01:02:52.353 --> 01:03:01.925
November to september, um, and it was also apparently I was getting no oxygen to my brain either or in my blood, which is maybe why I got it.
01:03:01.965 --> 01:03:11.956
We're not doing it this year it's crazy because, like I play I play back-to-back hockey games many times nowhere close to that 90s you're not a runner, and that's okay it just shows, it really goes to show.
01:03:11.956 --> 01:03:17.114
I am not a runner at all, I have not built for it.
01:03:17.114 --> 01:03:23.068
So anymore morty thought you made me think of that oh, I see, there's how we got there.
01:03:23.389 --> 01:03:26.396
Okay, cool, so next week we'll be back on friday.
01:03:26.396 --> 01:03:29.449
I believe I shouldn't it should be good.
01:03:30.592 --> 01:03:35.621
Nothing else but uh couple's table in the calendar yeah, okay.
01:03:36.282 --> 01:03:40.061
So, uh, we'll be back on friday and I think we should talk more about all these youtube updates.
01:03:40.081 --> 01:03:44.914
Yeah, we should probably have some other big news too to share and recap and talk about.
01:03:44.934 --> 01:03:47.188
Yes, there's a lot, so stay tuned for friday.
01:03:48.311 --> 01:03:59.445
