Hello everybody, how you doing munching on sunflower seeds over here. Hey solvent. Hey lazy. Hey Viking. Hey Haley.  Hey Brian. Hey nettles. Let's see here. Who else? I already forgot who all I mentioned, but hello welcome in let's talk Because today was unexpected This comment section on the channel update was very very interesting Pretty much everyone voted for daily videos. So that that blew my mind. Hey Chad The the popular consensus seems to be this this right out the gate more Variety so not back-to-back King videos the King videos still need to go on and People don't like the edited content which strikes me as funny And I'm going to explain why up front over the past. I've been doing this since what 2016 2017. Let's just say What eight years at the hey Tane. How you doing? Hey boggle? I've been doing this about eight years The Going on eight years anyways math ain't my strong point, but a seven. Let's say seven Before I went away before I took everything down I had received hundreds of comments about how long and rambling my videos were now looking back on it Hundreds out of literally tens of thousands of comments weren't that much But seeing them with increasing frequency Made me consider the whole editing thing and I was having fun editing the videos Hang on. Let me get some more light For my for my beautiful face There we go. Now you can see me So I started doing the edit the highly edited redux series There's another reason for that, but I'll get to that in a second And I was having a lot of fun. It gave me something to do I didn't have to worry about well something to do after I shot the videos instead of just chopping off the beginning in the end and posting it And I noticed that I was getting to the point quicker when I was cutting out all the rambling And I kind of felt the same way that the commenters did when they were saying, you know, just get to the point So the redux series was never about really redoing those old videos But streamlining the content and showing the stuff that I missed But with the the other the discussion videos and Things of that nature that are you know longer videos where I'm just sat talking to the camera It became very obvious once I started doing those again that those videos are doing Three to four times better than the King content When back in the day the King content hell, you know lord it over everything, you know I'd get a thousand views on the video within the first week Which is nothing in the grand scheme of things as far as YouTube is concerned It's not like I got a million, you know subs, but they they were the ones that were bringing in new people and now With these and Chad brought up a point and so did Wayne and a couple other people have brought up this point that you know I open up every video with a spoiler spoiler warning The old videos were like that too is just I didn't put it up front Also, what I did with those older videos was I would give a little mini review at the beginning So I didn't want to redo all of that because my opinions hadn't changed much going from book to book And I wanted just a catalog of videos that Got direct and to the point Told you guys all of the connections and let you guys find them yourselves without my input So yeah, that might have something to do with it but even the The King videos that were not the redux stuff weren't doing very well either They eventually got to where they used to be Another thing to consider is I did go away for what four or five months. I did just vanish off the face of YouTube I took all the videos down So it could be an issue of just me trying to reintegrate myself into the algorithm YouTube basically almost starting over. I didn't have to repost all those videos But I did have to relist them and I don't think the algorithm catches that at all. So it's not like a new post Yeah, so that's that's where I'm at with with all of that the the the edited content I'm kind of I'm kind of mad at myself because I spent so much time on all of those videos And that's not what you guys wanted. So it was surprising I guess I should have asked earlier before I did 60 videos Anyways Thank you guys for all of the support all of the attention to the videos I Really appreciate you that but I I wanted to know what people wanted to see and Y'all came out and drove to tell me what you wanted I even got some I I got some comments that really really struck me is like, you know I get this all the time whenever I ask for you guys's input is like we don't care what you do We just want to watch you do it But I got one comment from new new new new new new new and you and you and you and you whatever Said they preferred the longer stuff the unedited stuff and they even wanted to see is it nasty and food drink movie Reviews all of that stuff. I wanted to talk to you guys I know you guys will I know you guys will watch anything that I post Unless it has spoilers and you don't want spoilers and I appreciate that but also I'm looking for like majority rule here. So With the diehards with the people who show up for these comment, you know for these these live stream videos You guys are literally just here for me. Is that when I what is that what I'm getting? I also got a couple comments about how unique I was because I was a rambler That was those very strange but to me anyways and that's probably a little bit of self-deprecation, but I Don't I don't know I don't I don't like sitting around listening to someone ramble You know and lose lose their place and then have to figure out what what the hell they were talking about to me It seems like it takes away from the topic and it distracts from the topic Is is that the case for you guys or do you literally just like sitting and watching me talk? Yeah, I'm very uncomfortable for people just watching me for me Because I built the channel off of Steve Stephen King content, you know people were coming for this I thought they were coming for the Stephen King content but one of the things that opened my eyes today is that people are coming to this channel for me and that just I Don't know. I think all your videos are really good. I've just been in a bubble. Oh, you're fine You don't have to apologize for not having time for me This this friendship this relationship here is not like that. I do not expect you guys to Watch every single video. I appreciate it when you do and I have asked, you know Hey, you know, just put like a thumbs up in the comments or something just to boost the engagement. So it goes farther Since I haven't read a lot of King I've been muting those videos after the intro and yeah I knew I knew you were doing that and I'm completely fine with that I'm completely fine if you just come in and you know put a well like you've been doing Ty You know you'll put like whatever I say in the intro. You'll try to recreate that in emojis I think that was hella fun. So Yeah, your favorites of the live stream, there's a there's a lot of people but The thing that I noticed with the live stream spoggle is anytime I do a live stream My subscribers just fall off and while I don't pay too much attention to like new subscribers Whenever there's a huge exodus That does concern me is like did I say something wrong? Did I do something wrong and then I just forget about it And move on but I have noticed that I I have been fluctuating between eleven thousand six hundred and Thirty and eleven thousand six hundred and twenty and I'm not sure if that's troll behavior where they come in notice that I'm not you know Going to respond to them that I'm not going to acknowledge them and then they you know unsubscribe because they can't get to me But if that's the case, then I'm not reaching anybody new And I don't know I guess I'm fine where I'm at But I would like to build the community up a little bit more. What what does this mean 26 month? Who's been with me 26 months? Oh Yeah, yeah, I knew I knew about that. Hey, hey Derek Thank you for the 26 months first time I've been able to say that because that's the first time that something like that's popped up ever on my channel So thank you for 26 months. Good God, dude to over two years Thank you. I appreciate it. I know all the rest of you've been here that long also and I appreciate you guys It's just he's been a member. He's like sent me what I don't know how much it is to be a member on YouTube But 26 months.  I feel bad. I Know you like supporting your entertainment. I'm just messing with you Today if you if I'm not on my game today if you haven't noticed already as Chad pointed out It feels weird That people are here for me and to see the Every single one of the comments were either do what you want to do will be here or I'd like you to bring back something that you used to do or Don't edit the videos and just ramble for you know, 10 to 20 minutes that blew my mind Much more than I was expecting I Was expecting more along the lines I was expecting people to say don't stop the King content and I never plan to stop the King content But I did plan to slow down like next week. There's not gonna be any King videos There was no King videos this week, and then I was gonna trickle them back in because they're all done I might might as well do something with them.  I don't see that. I don't see That happening Because the majority of people that subscribe or watch the videos Do not comment and I have no lurkers And I don't mind lurkers is what I was trying to say I don't mind people who lurk and just watch the content But I have no metric to judge that on like am I getting new people and they're just clicking away or Is it actually people enjoying the content?  Um, dude. I think you should get on Twitch. I've been trying to figure that out. I Don't know how do it Until a few days ago, I didn't know they had a whole writers network. Yeah, they do I think you kill it over there with streams. I agree. I just haven't been able to figure it out That being said, I've no idea the difference between the two as far as monetary benefits Well, I'm not I'm not well, I I am doing YouTube for money now, but I'm depending on it less and less as projects roll in Also, I would have to completely Completely rebuild my entire community because I while I have a lot over 11,000 subs here There's only about a thousand people who actually interact with my content Much love again, Derek. That's cool. I'm now. I've never seen that pop up in a in chat I haven't been around as much. Oh, you're fine. You guys don't have to apologize for me. I love y'all I do you you never have to apologize for being away.   What okay, so what do people want? What do what do people come here for? Yes, that they thank you Haley, I know you will I appreciate that I Do think maybe the king redux videos are slightly too short But the thing about that Joe is in my mind the old videos still exist So you have the the rambly ass old videos and then you have the new ones that are streamlined So those exist and the new ones exist. It's not like those are unlisted or something So I I don't know maybe I just I just don't say and I link to the old series at the end of every new video So I don't know But Chad mentioned something in the comments, which was these the redux series are definitely for the hardcore die-hard Stephen King fans who who know all of his books whereas the old stuff is More just me sitting down talking about the book overall and then I even have review videos for those books I thought it was I thought it was a bit too much to just do that all that over again Hey Liam of your content and love how focused you're on listening to your audience I think you should do it makes you happy and what you enjoy the most. I'm here for you, mate You do you man? I appreciate that Liam, but at the same time I I want I want I want you guys to enjoy what I do It's not really about making everybody happy. It's about keeping people.  I have a I know I know Brian I know it works for you but every time I do post a live public video game thing I lose It's in the double digits. I Appreciate that Haley. That's that's wild to me that people would just be like going through their day and either being at work or Or crafting or whatever with me on in the background is just absolutely wild to me You could also top 5 10 video I've pretty much been doing that but sneakily Um Raffaella, I've been doing you know the discussion videos Which I don't really want to bring back top 5 Friday because one of the things one of the things that burned me out with that one I didn't run out of ideas. I could do that forever but one of the things that burned me out for that one is Constantly trying to find a certain number But the thing the thing with YouTube is people like, you know top 10 lists or top 5 lists I mean look at some of the biggest channels on on this platform watch mojo and you know gamer ranks and stuff like that All of those that it's top 10 except for outside Xbox. They do Like six seven whatever they feel like doing so I'm still doing that like I've done the Books I love to reread the most books. You might not have heard of so honest I'm still doing that content since I came back I'm just not calling it like top 5 Friday or whatever. It's just my favorites I'm usually driving while I watch in the morning.  I'm kidding. I tend to throw a fight. I always see your fire I always see that and I'm always liking it. I appreciate you Yeah, see lazy like I'm not adding another app it took lazy like three months to get on discord so we can't lose Best part of waking up is E on your screen Y'all kill me man. This is crazy. I love the live streams of literally any subject game nights And especially right with me streams I was thinking about doing filling in the blanks for the daily videos with writing streams since I'm gonna be writing so much In the next couple of weeks and months and hopefully years So I got to get back into the daily writing. I've been slacking. I'm always working on something Whether that's something that I plan to publish or something that's just in my head that I need to get out Because writing will always be an escape for me It'll always be me running off into a make-believe scenario Just so I can stop being in my own head for a while. I get to be in someone else's head someone else's shoes But yeah, we can 100% bring back the writing streams You I love the streams too But also rambling evid videos apart from avoiding king spoilers. I enjoy all your content. Why do you guys like sitting? Okay, so I've heard I've heard several things like I'm hilarious when one comment today said that they look they love the jokes and That I'm funny. I never try to be funny. Sometimes I know I am being funny And I do like making people laugh But I never force it and I worry that if I were to try Then I would end up forcing it and another thing is like I said in my well if you haven't seen it I was talking about at the end of the the Jack Sawyer series redux video how I'm not really that guy anymore I'm not as goofy as I used to be because of I think it's because of my mom's passing I don't know to give you a little more info there I used to my favorite thing to do literally was to make her laugh I would sit around doing accents. I would read her books with silly, you know silly impersonations and I look back and anytime I try to do that now. I'm reminded of her Which should be a good thing, but I guess I'm still fucked up over the whole thing So anyways, but that's a that's what happened there. I Just kind of lost the drive to Be goofy and sometimes I am sometimes the old me still peeks through but And someone someone said the edited videos were clinical and that oh that hurt I'm gonna be honest with you that wouldn't hurt because that's exactly why I don't like Kubrick's the shining Because it's so heartless and clinical. It's you know surgical almost And for someone to think that of me.  Maybe I'm doing this wrong, you know Maybe I got to re-evaluate what the hell I'm doing over here Yeah, I know you guys I know you guys love the I know you guys love the the live streams And we're not stopping that anytime soon The only problem with making a separate game channel is I won't be able to stream until I have at least a thousand subs and I think ten thousand or a thousand four thousand hours four thousand hours of views I'm trying to get caught up with chat.  It is amazing. I want you guys to see it But for some odd reason every time we try to go to export it clip champ is what they used clip champ will not export it It just ends up crashing Game nights and group activities. I love those too, man. I love the tell Pam. I'm well Pam's listening Pam I love those too Everyone here would follow you on twitch. I'm thinking of doing a channel myself Knowing full well. It's just it'll just be me sitting there alone for the first six months I have no stream falling. I'll get you people to follow you I'll get you should see what we did to mr. Doyle's channel a great undertaking He got over a hundred subs in a day. It was the next day.  I'm gonna do that right now All right, hang on guys before I guess you know how bad my memory is let me go add this Real quick I'm also trying not to touch my my mic because I'm using the Yeti today Where am I? Let's do Hi YouTube related is cut off from comments, so I'll just put it in general video topic Suggestions All right, it's created. It is created great great fantastic idea Zeeley Fantastic idea Hey Jake, I consider you a friend same same big same and with us not being around each other in person the videos and especially the live streams It feels like I'm in the company of a friend and that's exactly what I want like that comment from rev nation in today's video It made me feel amazing to know that people are getting exactly out of this channel What I want them to get like I want this to feel like we're just sitting around chatting You know I wanted to feel that way and of course the I know it's kind of contradictory because I've been doing the highly edited videos with the king content But at the same time the reviews and the discussion videos have all been kind of rambly ish With the reviews I do cut them up a little bit just so I can stay on topic because I always tend to to go off on a tangent and I didn't know that people liked when I did that the problem with that is I tend to forget what I wanted to say and I don't remember what I wanted to say until after I've already posted the video and I'm like fuck I forgot to say that you're down to earth relatable funny and make everyone here feel seen This took ten minutes to fix to all you don't have to fix typos. That's the best part about you bagel Well, no, it's not the best part. It's the best part about your comments It's just the uniqueness of how how you Mince the the the the letters of the words because none of it makes sense Like the letters aren't even like near each other and somehow you still manage to put them there. It's amazing Yeah typos and not we love you so Um Aw, thank you Haley. I admire you and I'm proud of you for aligning with who you feel you are rather than playing a character I play enough characters in everyday life, you know, even if I wanted to do characters I would go. Well, I am on tiktok doing cousin earl. I also have other accounts. You guys have no idea about where You know, I do other things. Yeah, I have my fingers in various different pots Some of them aren't even safe for work but it's It's it's it's gotten to a point where this of course this channel is a hundred percent me You're not going to get anybody else. The unfortunate part about that is when I start this spiral so So does the channel and one of the things that helped with doing the editing was a hyper fixation and a hyper focus because I'm adhd touch of the tism all that stuff. You guys know this Um, it really helped me I guess whittle away a 15 minute video into a five minute video or You know, whatever length it would be it really helped me Get to my point and you know, I thought that was the best part of the videos But now looking at all these comments That's not what you guys are here for which makes sense Which does make sense because you guys came and stayed When I was rambly e So I don't know what I was thinking. I I honestly I don't Yeah, we we would chad. We would send I would send everybody over to your channel You'd at least have a hundred. I know that for a fact because I got at least that many to go over to mr.  I'm sorry lazy. Love you. Bye. Bye Yeah, I'm I'm hearing a lot of that Gabriel, uh, honestly e I just like it when you talk about books that Boggles boots the mind Let's see here and Hailey said, uh, your content has grown and evolved with you. It's still you so we still love it I I appreciate that but also if you guys prefer the old rambling guy Then I'll just bring him back. There there's absolutely. I mean the the redux series is done So I don't I don't have to worry about that, you know changing there at the end and making those videos rambly because they're done um I'm picking three things in garden now So I can hardly see you from sun glare. I bet I can't see during the day.  I don't mean don't talk about other things Uh, just that I I I knew what you meant Gabriel. You're fine. You're fine Ooh fresh green beans All right, raffaella. I'm I'm taking notes. I am 100% you guys just like hearing me talk about books and the views do support that because I what I got over and over again is I we just like hearing you talk That blows my mind, but That's where we're at. So that's what we're gonna do If I Thank you ty Bye. I'm kidding lazy.   Hello Okay, so we got this next week coming up. I have videos for wednesday no monday wednesday and friday, uh, I personally am You gonna focus? Thank you. I appreciate you. Um See, I've already distracted.   That's not what I'm trying to do. I'm just trying to add another perspective Uh, I Hate the term devil's advocate because that's usually with bad things and this isn't a bad thing but I really like if even one person goes Hey, I never thought of it like that and someone did that on the last unsolicited the first the first unsolicited advice one Um, that that makes it all worth it to me. Oh, yeah, I got check this out jake So I'm doing for october. I'm doing a history of horror Oh, come on so I got uh The castle of on tronto A tronto rant whatever the mysteries of udolfo Uh, the woman in white Uh, the monk I'm gonna be doing a lot of stuff as far as uh, the history of horror Um, and then next year we'll probably do something like the history of halloween I'm looking forward to fall too just because it won't be so damn hot Have you done a video on grief in horror books?

Oh, yeah We've been watching one or two, uh Hulu, uh horror movies every week so far. We've watched fresh Uh, we watched.  I guess it wasn't that great because I don't remember it Oh dash cam I did enjoy it most people didn't It's funny because it's a very polarizing film Uh, the main character is maga so every the you know one side is cheering for That person to die and then the other side is upset because of the accurate depiction and then by the end of it everybody's pissed off because It doesn't go the way you think it would go. Um, yeah, it's just I Oh the main character is absolutely terrible But I like watching movies about terrible people or reading books.  Well And tubie does have a good a great horror selection, but right now I prefer hulu even to shudder Hey, julie. How you doing? I see you in the comment section all the time I appreciate you really enjoy your content. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that People will like it. Sometimes it's good to know what not to read But I've always been surprised how many people love grief and horror. I that's one of my favorite Favorite topics um that and mental illness Oh, yeah, the ruins is top tier for unlikable characters I thank you. You're welcome julie I appreciate all the comments and everything I really do It's nice. It's nice to see the same people all the time Uh, but it is it is nice to know that other people, uh, you know that I have lurkers that That will pop up once in a blue moon like when I do the channel updates And they'll pop in and they always start the same way is like I don't comment often But I'm here and I'm present and I'd watch all of your stuff so I I get netflix for free through my uh through t-mobile So I'm not getting rid of netflix. But if I had to pay for it, man, not especially with this, uh, No password sharing, uh, because people have kids in in college that they're taking care of that, you know They don't need one other added thing to that I I don't I don't know man. I understand like if someone is using Their netflix to like stream like in public parks or whatever to large groups of people What the hell does it matter if it's like three or four people? You're already charging an insane amount and you're not paying the people who are creating this an adequate living wage Most of the people I know just act like the characters in the room You need a better class of friends lazy Yeah, and netflix has become pee pee poo poo Or or as derrick would say netflix's cheeks The corporations don't want some of the money they want all I I understand this but we're hoping to change that At least in hollywood Uh, the people in charge of all these tech companies streamers movie studios They must have a competition going to see who can do the dumbest shit They're obviously in competition who can screw over their employees the most I buy netflix for a month every few months not enough on there to keep me to keep The subscription. Yes, um, I would agree with that a hundred percent. I'm eyeball Like I was just saying With netflix if it wasn't for the fact that we got it for free I wouldn't even be on there. Also several of my friends have Stuff on netflix that I want to support So I would I would probably do the same thing like I would get it for one month and then watch their stuff And just like I do what you guys what some of you do with my videos Like I'll just how some of you will just put on a playlist sit back and relax and You know grab some snacks or craft or whatever Um, I will do that with friends movies. Um, I will take those movies and put them on in the background while i'm writing I'll mute them. I'll just put them on the background. They'll be playing out in the office while i'm writing Uh, just to give them, you know more income but I did that for the longest time come to find out that doesn't really help because when you work with netflix I found this out recently about Six months ago when you work for netflix you get a One check up front let's say Okay, let's say you worked on a movie through like a Warner Brothers or whatever that's not going to be on streaming Or it was before streaming you got what's called residuals Every time they showed it on tv every time, you know, uh, a dbd sold anytime anything happened with that movie It was reshown you got a check With netflix instead of doing residuals what they did was if you normally make a million for for this movie We're going to give a million point five and buy you out completely So the people on netflix for the vast majority of them do not get residuals and the ones who do off of like, uh, the, uh The physical media copies they're getting pennies There are people sharing how much they get off of like every single episode And it's like four cents here and four and these are not side actors These are like main characters In the in the show So it does not help as much as I thought it would Uh doing you know just putting stuff off in the background But it does boost the algorithm and it does make it more available so that person can get more jobs in the future Well, sal i'm not really and hi sal by the way. Um, i'm not really looking for I I wouldn't mind if just the people who were already subscribed Engaged with the content the the the issue with youtube is they are all about engagement.  Um liking and sharing is super helpful Uh commenting is the the thing that I see the most when if if I were doing this just for money I would only do discussion videos because it pushes people to comment And people want to chime in on the discussion and that really raises revenue I don't know why I don't understand the process the algorithm But when you guys comment The video goes places Now for subscribers, I already have 11600 subscribers, which is damn good for a book channel And yes, there are the highly stylized ones that have like, you know hundreds of thousands of subs But even those don't get the engagement that they should It's only like 1 to 10 percent of your audience actually engages with you Which is what hurts the algorithm youtube wants people to engage. It's an interactive platform It brings in more money from them because there's because you're sitting through more ads all that stuff So it's all about engagement And I don't care about growing subscribers Which is why I don't go like comment and subscribe in every single video because first off it feels Genuineous. That's not why I'm here. I'm here for community. I've always been here for community first Uh, this is where I go to talk to my friends. This is where and now we have the discord, which is Awesome. I love the discord. I wish I would have done it ages ago It is like a personal twitter, you know, we can all talk and joke and you know Interact with each other without pretty and and we have more control over a troll situation If someone bad comes in all I have to do is ban them and it bans them for everybody instead of You know individual blocking I do like hallmark cozy mysteries There is an author in chat that might have something for you In the near future Uh Murder she baked series. I have not seen that one. I know you were talking to j-rob, but I haven't seen that The residual situation when netflix, um has long been pretty shady from yeah Oh, yeah, but every streaming service does it. That's the fucked up part It just became the new norm and that's what we're fighting that in ai Red bubble only gives 10 of any and that's another reason why I haven't really gone at the merch because I haven't found anything Even halfway decent other than buying the equipment and doing it myself That's actually cheaper and does it You know, you get nearly Well, you have to pay for supplies and everything but it is nearly a hundred percent profit after shipping Yeah, I I try to do that. Anyways, joe. Like have you read this stuff? Uh post your own book hauls post your own, uh Favorite books to reread that kind of thing. I I already do that to some extent. Um, I just don't do it with The redux series because that's not what that's about Ooh, you know jimmy, that's jimmy says would you ever add a horror trivia question at the end of video for viewers to answer Bump with the comments, etc. No idea if that would work though. That's not a bad idea But I do I do ask, you know, what did you think about this? Have you read it so on and so forth? What am I drinking? geriatric urine Oof took me that long to write saw joe Well, you had you had a A different idea. It was the same effect But you had a different idea which was trivia questions Other than, you know, just asking people what they thought about a book Because trivia question is going to bring in more people commenting than just asking. Have you read it so on and so forth? because people like a challenge And most most people who watch like book reviews are either there because they've already read the book Or they're looking to find out whether or not they should get the book More people I I believe I feel come To get an opinion before they go read something Uh, especially with our share of night I noticed a lot of people were like, I'm waiting on you to read it before I buy it Yeah, so I get that but also the the redux series was about streamlining those things and on top of that to Correct mistakes that I made the only issue with that is I didn't always make mistakes So some of the videos in the redux series and I'm ocb about this. I can't skip Content like, you know, there were some videos that were like just two minutes long And I just reiterated what they were in there. So if people, you know Missed the original one. They could also go back and watch the other one um, but I cannot express this enough when It used to be the king content ruled everything it didn't matter if it was spoilers It didn't matter what it was A king video Even the announcements that I did for his books Brought in thousands of views.  I know it's orange gatorade Gatorade zero for those of you worried about my diabetes I would love to do more interview streams. The problem that I ran into with the interview streams was You never know how them jokers are going to go. Uh, you never know if you're going to have to Pull the answers out of people Uh, you never know how much you're going to have to lead them uh, and also It's much easier to do if I have read someone's books And I don't really read too much of the indie small press world anymore I think chad lezky and Now Todd's doing his big big stuff now, but I think chad lezky is the only indie that I read anymore Um, so I could have chad on to talk about his books all the time if you wanted but Um, and I don't have any contacts with the big big shots Uh I don't know. I do like doing them No, um another thing would be how am I going to find them because all of my social media is toast Uh, I don't have any real social media presence anymore. So how would I find them? Gabriel the the reason why I stopped doing those videos is because I literally there several reasons. Let me break this down to you uh, the first reason was I got burned out very quickly and I stopped reading completely I didn't read a book for four months after that um after the last one that I posted because Reading was suddenly a job and I don't know what the difference was with the wrap-up and the versus the individual reviews But it felt like more of a chore Um, and also they didn't do too well because they were I'm thinking now because they were edited Uh, it was just segments for those books Yeah, but I got to get I have to get to them chad Dave reads king. Yeah, I can't I can't do that though. I'd get copyright struck. Uh, I'm I'm a little It's gonna sound to I'm a little bit I got I have connections that I can't just read Stephen King stuff I I can't I would get in trouble and I would be copyright struck in a heartbeat Because there's certain people who watch my videos Who are in the presence of king? So I can't do that. Uh, it's it's theft is what it is. Um And while I don't I don't see an issue with it really and I don't think king minds too much The people who publish his books do Because they are all about the money I remember the drama with the guy a couple years back who read the entirety of 50 shades of gray series it's over a hundred videos of him reading He went from making I don't know two three thousand dollars a month to zero because youtube shut down his monetization because he did that He didn't have the permission to read those stories Joe that would actually be funny That would I think that would be a trip just to have a a fake interview I think that would be a lot of fun Meet the beavers where you interview everyone from discord individually There's not too many of you I I try I try to asking you guys for outro videos. I got two two Two two of you So what I'm what I'm trying to say is I understand that people don't want to be on camera I understand people don't want their voices on there Whether they're comfortable with their voices whether they're comfortable with their faces that kind of thing Because the vast majority of us Patrick if you're out there I know you love it when I say that the vast majority of us are very awkward if you haven't noticed We we all have some kind of either anxiety panic attacks depression any of that stuff Our community is very tight-knit, but we're also super fucking awkward Yeah, meet the beavers might have a lot of views in the first few minutes That's great. That's great Uh, I can totally understand that I've thought it would be awesome when people get all those free books But a lot but also a lot of pressure would hate reading to feel like a chore. Yeah 100% man It it really felt like a job is like I have to read so many books this month because I need to do my wrap-up and sometimes Especially if it feels like I have to I don't like reading because Reading is an escape for me and I want it to feel like an escape. I want to get lost in a story Wrap-ups you could just do what I'm reading style. Just talk about what you've read recently currently That's a that's a really good idea Zeeley. Um You know what I'm reading But I I always worry about repeating myself and I probably shouldn't Because that's the nature of the internet, you know, you're making content and the people Not everyone's going to be watching every single one of your videos It's kind of like a comedian that tells the same jokes every night He's in a different location with a different audience so he can do that um But yeah, that's that's not a bad idea You'll make one. Please do viking. I would love it. I'm even gonna have shell shell's doing one in an upcoming video also Can you bring back to steven king content? okay, stony You got him a man, uh, I got that Yeah, I got that plus my voice is going everywhere late exactly and that's I didn't want to point out But you're one of the people I'm talking about, you know, not everyone's going to be comfortable Sharing and there's only on discord who the people that I consider the beaver scouts On discord, there's only 80 of you So and I would say probably only about five to 10 of you would be willing to do What viking is suggesting? Uh, would you be interested in reading more manga? Hell, yeah, I got a whole shelf over here. I need to read um But those videos don't do very well This media where you can read a bunch of manga for only oh, I have uh, what is it not crunchy roll, uh Oh, what the hell is it? There's a website where you can go and read an limit It's no it's on amazon where you can read unlimited manga for a certain price every month Yeah, what is the name of your book? I don't seem to have a copy. Oh, I haven't written it yet I think that would be cool. Joe if you're if you're interested in a goofy ass live stream like that I would I would 100 percent be on board with it because I think that would be hella fun And then I could take questions from the audience about your non-existent books Uh, and it could be like, uh, what is it between two ferns or out of that zack gillifianakis thing is except we're we're not rude to each other Oh god, no, if you think my typing is bad speaking on camera is way worse. Yeah I feel you need to talk about non king horror books too that are trending on book too so I I'm not trying to be rude here, but it's going to come off as rude. I think you're missing the point Um, I'm not trying to grow my following. That is not what I'm trying to do I want the people who are already here to engage with the content. Um, I don't want a hundred thousand Subs, I don't I don't want that the chat would be disastrous if I had that many Um, it became disastrous just after five thousand. I had to weed out so many people So I am not trying to do trendy stuff. I am not trying to build a bigger audience I am not trying to build my brand What I'm trying to do is get people that are here I wanted to know what they want and unfortunately I have to do this like a democracy where people You know vote and tell me and then I have to tabulate all of that stuff and find out who wants what Um, but also I don't read much horror and I don't consider steven king horror I consider him a literary author that has a bunch of horror books Um, but even his horror books The horror is not the point. It's the characters. It's the themes. It's it's that kind of thing So if if you're looking for strictly horror content, you will never find it on this channel You can go back as far as you want to you'll see it sprinkled in but the vast majority of the reviews I've done are not horror books. Um, unfortunately people look at steven king and they go He's a horror writer, which is absolutely false and expect only horror content on this channel And that's not the case at all. In fact, the I don't I only have this is the closest thing I've read to a horror novel Because our share of night once again that was more of a literary novel This one is the closest thing I've read to just horror. It's a dark fairy tale and the review will be up wednesday YouTube is weird. This channel was This channel was mine, but my kid took it over He's got a video. They got 40k views, but still only 300 or so subs You know, it's funny the the biggest video I ever did was debunking dean coons Debunking dean coons, uh Having predicted the corona virus it got like 140 000 views um The the problem with that is everybody in that was commenting I had to turn comments off because everyone who was commenting was either Attacking me for spreading disinformation when all I did was post where the screenshots came from One of them was a psychic sylvia something Uh, it wasn't even a dean coons book and the other one was taken out of context from one of his books Have you read malazan? I have no idea who that is Is that is that the title of the book stony?  I'll do that.  I always say guys is or anytime it's plural with an s I always add that extra s and I need to stop doing that Uh documenting a collaboration from the first discussion and the sparking of ideas to publication where the viewer Is a fly on the wall could be something new and interesting You trying to give me a hint brother? Because i'm all for that The only problem is I mean if people I mean we'd be talking about spoilers But that's a really cool idea I actually love the king content, especially because I'll never read all of his books and you'll respond I've got a spoiler comment. I need to leave on your the institute. Go for it. Go for it Uh, what about a story time every couple weeks?  Yeah, I do you know I'll do that if you just want a whole stream of me reading your stories. I could do that a hundred percent covetous definitely horror You won me over when you were coons on twitter boy I was never going to top that that is still the most I've ever laughed on youtube that Oh man, that was that was a that was a super fun night Stephen Erickson. Oh fantasy series. No, I'm I'm I don't do fantasy unless it's Very very very very unique Um, but I'm not looking for any new fantasy reads at all right now. Um, I'm not even enjoying Like the stuff that I normally like. So yeah, no, um, what I'm really enjoying what I'm really having fun with is, uh The national book award finalists I have loved everything that I have read from the national book award And the whole reason I started doing it because I went back And I was just I was just scrolling through lists over on goodreads and it was national book awards And I was going I love that book. I love that book. I love that book I love this book.  I need to read more national book awards because that's my jam Uh, and they can be horror. They can be drama. They can be romance. Uh, they can be uh war stories They can be anything and that's what I love about the national book awards Is you never know what you're getting like right now.  I love it. There's uh, there's a something called the deathless man There's literally a character that is a tiger's wife There's some uh jungle book undertones and it's it's an amazing book I can't wait to finish it and get it up on the channel so you guys can uh, check it out Oh, we we could definitely do prompts hailey.  I love doing that stony. I absolutely love doing that It's one of my favorite things to do on the channel is to rank stuff. Um I just how many more topics if you go back to like top five friday I don't have too many more topics.  Sir Yeah viking I I told you guys send me your stuff and I will read it with your permission. I will read it on on the stream but I I want to be able to do multiple ones. So we're gonna have to keep it to flash fiction And the good thing is that we are all learning from you as a published author So take your constructive criticism on but yeah, I can give you my thoughts afterward 100 I can do that lots of good chat here. Yeah, this is fantastic Um, I'm still roasting to death in my garden. Oh Arms itch from the bean plants.  I read all over the places it is National book awards. Yeah, they're fantastic Gardening is not for the week If you guys want I could share all my stuff for snail tales so far I really want you to keep that to yourself because it's a fantastic idea And I want you to finish something so maybe I can help you do something with it hint hint wink wink nudge nudge It might sound weird but growing subscribers base is strongly connected to getting more engagement Not many people want to engage with stuff that they already know your views about Hang on. I'm thinking the the problem again sal is that The more people I get here that are solely here for the content The worst things are going to be trust me. I've been through this over the past seven years And the more of a following I get that are here specifically for a certain content The worst the worst the engagement gets um, I I don't I don't want that kind of viewership. I don't want people who are only here for A certain brand of content. That's why I kind of didn't mind disappearing off the face of the earth On january 1st because this had just become a whole 100 steaming king channel And then you get comments like when's the next king video coming? When's the next this coming? I'm gonna unsubscribe if you don't do this if you don't do that kind of thing and I'm not anybody's dancing monkey But I do like my friends to Help me build a community and I guess that's what I'm looking for is I want more community and less fans Does that make sense? I hope that makes sense. I'm more about the Talking to people sharing stories sharing ideas Building relationships than I am about just here for the content And that's why I cater to you guys. I do cater to you guys Because I like you I know you I've gotten to know you Uh, the that the people in chat. I have known some of them for years upon years But if I if I were to like shoot for the stars as far as like, you know, I want as many subscribers as possible We are going to the the comment section is going to turn into a dumpster fire It's going to be like a pewdie pie video in the comments and No, also what you tend to bring is is you tend to bring in streaming culture Where people don't even comment all they do is just post Random bullshit just for attention and just nothing but whole strings of emojis Uh, we've even gotten that here and unfortunately we just get rid of those people Yeah, yeah to be is to be as narcissistic as possible. Yes. Sorry.  I like the fans. I like the friends. I like the discussion I'd said fans. I didn't mean fans. I meant friends. Um, the the people who Want to hang out? Yeah, that's that's what we're here Uh, what might be fun is ranking clive barker's books. That would be awesome. I'm gonna If I don't already have that down I need to I need to do that. I have a whole list of stuff Community and friends is what I'm here for basically making my own social media world So that we can have fun hang on Clive Barker Clive Barker books of blood Tier list I have choice paralysis a lot I seize up and don't do anything because I have so many ideas and so much potential For things to write or make or do that. I do nothing. It's all yet. I I understand um, I do not personally have that issue but I know so many people who do so while I can't offer you solidarity There are a lot of people who are exactly like you I would suspect there's a lot of people like you in chat right now Can we get back to the radio job? I mean, it's done. It's just the amount of effort It is going to take to do what I want to do I realize that it's and on top of that I have the projects finally coming back in so I know I can go ahead and send it out to you guys Uh, give me a reminder over on discord shoot me a dm or something And I can at least send it to you guys and you guys can Get your stuff done. But as far as me having to put it together I can't even and this is what stopped me. I haven't even started the merchandise line yet Hailey did all this amazing work I paid I paid her for every bit of it and I've done nothing with it and I feel terrible about it But I don't have the time to do it I I know I know ty but I was agreeing with you and What I was saying was me agreeing with you is a bit narcissistic Oh good reads and how this author was getting two stars before her book was even out.  Um Like there was recently there was a lady who had some Issues in uh real life some criminal activity in real life and everyone went out and Gave her book one star And then people came back and were like why are you doing this the book isn't even out yet And it became very obvious very quickly that people should not be supporting this person. Um So while there is the toxic side of good reads 100 percent I'm also no longer a part of that culture. I'm no longer a part of that Click community whatever Uh one of the reasons for that Is because of all of the drama so I don't feel comfortable Talking about the drama because then that would bring in people Who partake in that drama? Does that make sense? I ain't saying you need to shoot for the stars And baiting trending topics for subscribers is just getting some more variety of content is good and will help Well, yeah 100 i agree with you and that's why i'm taking a break from steven king for a while and doing other videos So I mean we're not disagreeing sal. We're 100 not The this this coming week and next week are pretty much just a test Uh, let's see here Yeah, I saw what you meant. It's fine ty. You're okay Exactly and I don't want either one of us getting screwed on some kind of deal with you know red bubble or whatever I would really like to afford to be able to do it myself and that might be a possibility in the near future Hey jude, how you doing? You need to give chat.   Where are you chad? Chadwick, there you go. All right.   I know I I was one of the the the major Instigators of of that culture. I I really enjoyed rant rage reviews. I really enjoyed Uh, just crapping all over something that I didn't like. Um, I never created drama On purpose But drama was created nonetheless And I just don't want that anymore like No, get out of here. You have been entrusted with such power chad. So power on Sometimes people might not want to ask for certain content in case they come across as pushy But if you used a poll they would probably vote on video.  Uh, we pretty much talked about everything that I was going to talk about so we're just chatting now But thanks for popping in wane. How how was work? Yeah, also sometimes talking in general on streams about various topics apart from books and movies is cool We we do that quite often like we'll go off on tangents But uh, yeah doing like a whole stream on just some random topic would be fun Also, I'm not writing everything down, but I this video will be saved. So All your ideas are coming are getting saved I did the chai barker ones especially because I'm gonna do that very soon. I would love love it no judgment to Those that rate books down, but my good reads is boring because I only rate five stars I get So protective over authors hate to see them be attacked unless they're truly offensive Um, I I get that uh, I used to be I'm no longer this way But I used to be like if someone only gives positive reviews. I don't trust them and to some extent I don't Um, because you can't love everything, but I don't see anything wrong with what you're doing I don't see anything. It's just and this might sound bad, but I wouldn't ever Seek out your reviews Because I only read negative reviews. That's how I buy books and I Should I do a video on that why I only?  You're talking about the other thing not the not the lesser demon video Did you guys probably want the lesser demon video too? Yeah, how do you guys does does the community tab? Do you get like in your feed? Do you see When I have a poll or something do you guys see that? One of us I'll watch later.  Go get some rest. Why are you here? I love you for being here, but why are you here? Go get some rest Even when it comes to books movies or shows I don't like it's got to the point where I defend them because I feel bad seeing this tide of hate For the minds behind them to some extent. I agree with you.  It didn't actually happen cool your chest meat Can fiction be offensive? Hell. Yeah, but if you find it affects offensive Don't consume that anymore. I really yeah, I think I'm gonna do 100% I mean, yeah, I've read some algenon blackwood. I didn't I'm not a big fan of the classics I don't like the way they're written. They don't really hold my attention Um, I usually have to do them an audiobook the ones that I showed off earlier Uh Those were much different and that's why I'm gonna be talking about those uh this this halloween For 31 days of halloween Uh, why I only Read negative Reviews why didn't I just use my voice to my speech to text? Anyways I would go on discord with ifa and do a show And tell show and tell so you can oh that would be great. Yeah go over to the yeah Ash always has the hot takes during game streams.  It's he doesn't like Seeing us all seated where we sit when we do the streams Because he likes to be on the couch with shell all curled up and shell usually sits over to my left in her recliner And then chrystal sit at his table with his game going and then dan of course is back in their room Uh, but he gets whiny because he wants people to hang out with him on the couch And sometimes she'll well, especially when she watches games She likes to put her feet up and she can't really do that on the couch Especially not with ash because ash won't let her he's so big. He takes up the majority of the couch No, I understood what you meant gabriel. I understood but but what what it comes off Well, it's the it's the pers Perception that's the word that I was looking for it's the perception if you see someone who only gives five star reviews You start to question They just or they start to say they just love everything they read because we don't have any concept We we don't know that you're just not rating the books you don't like With the the people who are on good reads or amazon or whatever looking for reviews They don't see that side of you because they don't know you personally You know why you're doing it, but we don't so I don't trust Anyone who only gives five star reviews because it seems like they're just there to to push the author's sales or or whatever Whether or not that makes sense, but we we're we're not inside your head. We don't know why you don't give negative reviews The worst part is that criticism has got so personal. Yeah It's not I don't like this. It's more like this writer sucks and deserves to burn for writing this It is it is very much so that if someone writes something nowadays People believe that that is their point of view which is funny to me because I wrote south of here expecting just It to get panned and shit on completely uh because it does have a lot of Offensive ideas in it Uh, I use the t word for a transsexual person Uh, there's a lot of stuff in there that I would never say Uh, but the character would and that's how the character thinks and you know, it's I was expecting people but The the best part of the old name was Most of my readers knew me personally because I'm such a public person Whether it be youtube or uh twitter or instagram or whatever would have you Uh, most people knew I wasn't like that.  It's amazing. I love being a kid But yeah, it'll show up in the home section if you use your phone if you use your laptop I don't think that shows up like that Or computer um, I actually Sal I bounce back and forth between audiobooks and uh physical books Sometimes I do both at the same time. It all depends because scribbed. I have the Um, thanks to you wonderful folks out there for always clicking that that scribbed, uh Trial, uh, I have uh free Months I guess free subscription for the next three or four years So I'll just bounce back and forth I'm gonna send you that mini hardcover of the Of the uk hang on hang on hang on I'm gonna send you that mini hardcover of the uk it On the 10th august. I was gonna give it to you at author con, but I know you couldn't yeah, uh, what? Thank you You already you already sent me so much amazing stuff, man I mean so much amazing stuff Yeah, they're negative people no matter where you go Uh, hang on. I'm trying to get caught up because I'm severely behind If I wrote book reviews on my blog or youtube again, I would just talk about books. I didn't like I don't have the energy. I just I would just not talk about books. I didn't like yeah Well, I know you so I would trust you anyways, but I mean it's when I don't when I don't know somebody very well I mean I've seen gabriel in chat, but I don't know gabriel very well overall, you know So if I were to just come across gabriel's good reads and see nothing but five star reviews, I'd be like Suspicious I totally get you I take no offense. Well, that's good because I'm I'm I'm in none There's actually youtuber who loves every book she reads and I love her energy But I don't take her reviews as seriously as others I'm I'm the exact same way I'm looking back over my snail tail stuff and I have written a lot more than I thought hell. Yeah You got enough for the first board book? I love south of here and I'm sure well you also get the idea that that's that's jimmy that's james Talking and not me so and that's why I didn't write the that's one of the reasons why I didn't write the book in first person because Of that. I didn't want it to come off as my thoughts, but also jimmy slash james slash jim whatever you want to call him He that that character was so Unself-aware had no self-awareness whatsoever so I was like so even if The very first thing that hit me about the character when I started writing it is First off he thinks almost like a stream of consciousness Um, and then on top of that he does not see himself as a unique individual He just sees himself as a cog in the wheel. He has a very Shit job.  He's just kind of going through the motions So I didn't I didn't ever see him as a character who would talk like I did this I did that he would see himself as an outsider and that's why the book is in third person Yeah, but you also mentioned I know you exactly Um, I'm going to give into the drowning deep Uh a bad review because I've only heard good things about it and I have some reservations I you do you boo you do you oh friendly reminder hydrate. Thank you. Hey, you know people actually pay streamers That they like give them money for Hydration like they'll they'll pay five dollars and it'll just be like go drink water What It's like y'all do that for free Any person on good reads with average rating over four really gives me the ick and that's what I'm talking about It's just a perception thing if you don't care what people think about you Do what you want really but as far as public perception And if you're on good reads, obviously you want people to pay attention to you or else You would private your account someone and so forth You want to you're there because you want to make friends and talk Some people are just there to do a following Um, and I would I've never friended anyone who didn't post about books And I got that all the time under the old name I would go I would click on someone I would go over to their page And it was just like this person isn't now friends with this person is now friends with this person Is now friends with and you go to check out their books and they have zero books. What's the point? There's no point From back a bit have you ever tried those mio? Oh, yeah, we buy those all the time My kids drink Gatorade, but it's uh tripled in price and the sugar I I get the zero got those meals and the fruit punch flavor is bomb.  This has got caffeine in it.  Oh, I like I like fajitos Fajitas for those of you that don't know i'm joking Well, that's kind of nice weird, but nice people often forget to hydrate autism and yes, especially us. Yeah I'm surprised. I sometimes even remember to bring my water out with me I also need to get up and move around So we've talked about everything we need to talk about If y'all just want to hang out for a while we can but you know I need a break because i'm i've been in this chair for almost an hour and a half both my kids are uh autistic I have a touch of the tism and i'm adhd and i'm ocd And I am borderline and I have narciss borderline narcissistic Personality disorder borderline borderline. I always think about myself first before I think of anyone else And that's just me being honest. I know I don't come off that way. You don't have to tell me that But y'all don't know me in real life Like you you're not around me all the time and I always have to force myself to think about others Which has made me come off as this super uber tearing person And to some extent I am but I have to force myself to do it Because I don't like being that person I hope that made sense Whoo goes finally finished with the garden. Good job Now go get some water go get some food in your belly Yeah, dan can go all day We constantly having to tell them to eat or drink or whatever dan can go Two three days without food We really have to pay attention to them Desperately need king to publish another short stories in novella collection. We're we're coming up He we we already have if it bleeds, so we're not getting another novella collection anytime soon, but we're due for a It's about every seven years. He he releases one hang on Yeah, it was in 2015 so we should have a short story collection coming up and it should have things like finn willy the weirdo Elevation, you know all that stuff that he hasn't collected yet All right, wane. Have a good day get some rest brother. Thank you for stopping in and yeah Definitely watch the beginning of this, uh Because we we talked about everything I want to talk about Yeah, I get that sal and novellas are great I do not discriminate Unless it's short story collections by a single author because it takes me so long to get through them I was talking the other day about the hayley piper collection. I've been reading for a year and a half Can't that just be autism my yes, it's it's part of it But every single therapist I've ever gone to has brought up borderline narcissistic personality disorder F them novellas How about that pot calling the kettle never Uh And I know you're kidding chad. I know you're kidding.  Um, but he liked to control me And I am not a controlling person But I do have to force myself to think about other people and I don't like that about myself. So I work on that Yeah, sal but when I'm in like a really good book Like I am right now with the tiger's wife when I'm in a really good book I don't want to stop that to read a short And also you're giving me the same advice that I gave in the how to reread section the the video that I just posted a couple days ago Sal is gaslighting me Uh, yeah, it's it's very good. I was aware so early.  I was like what I'm like what? What are you talking about? Am I missing something? Anyways, so you don't have to scroll up for 15 minutes back 15 minutes back. I do it e Oh, when we tried before we weren't as familiar with each other's work true Uh, I thought you wrote whore you don't and I didn't know what I wanted to write so I did my uh whore Yes Chad let's talk more in either texts or uh, I think I think the community would fucking love to watch us collaborate on something and From beginning to end spoilers and all Uh to sit down and really build something out of nothing I think that would be wild and I think it would be a blast. I even have an idea what if One of our characters Like like I'm not saying this as a possibility because I don't know I haven't read the present day jacks book Jacks jacks jex. Yeah, um So I don't know if he's still alive and kicking, but I think it would be cool for someone like that and someone like james to meet Uh, or just something completely original, but anyways, I I love the idea. Let's talk more after this is done And I gotta get up guys. Are we are we hanging out? You gotta tell me are we hanging out or are we Or am I going? Yes, hang out. All right. That's one person. You know majority rules I love that pink dinosaur screaming.  That's exactly what I'm gonna go stretch. Yep. I'm here to hang Some more minutes. Okay. All right. Give me give me 10 minutes.  All right Love y'all be back Boy, it is hot out there hey, berry saying earlier how I love the live content and The same day don't even notice he's gone live I feel like you don't have to feel like a douche YouTube doesn't always notify people so It's whatever But I appreciate you stopping in we're just gonna hang out now Yeah, we weren't supposed to have any rain whatsoever yesterday lazy, but we got a torrential downpour for like an hour I just wanted off to the other tabs and forgot and then you speak in my ears. I got I'm surprised surprise motherfucker Oh, hang on. What did lazy say spell check has a nervous breakdown We were in a bad drought most of the summer so far and now In the last few days got five plus inches rain from a bunch of storms The beans exploded a growth All at once Thank you. Thank you Hailey Lazy always gets startled too. Yeah Yeah, especially here in the south gabriel uh when it does start Uh raining after it's been hot all day The it'll cool off eventually. Um, but if it doesn't rain for like hours and hours on end Uh, or if it rains during the day And then it stops and it's still the heat of the day. It just becomes muggy as hell. Hey ryan. How you doing? Yeah, Pensacola is bad as far as humidity and that's like walking into a hot Wet blanket Yeah, then it's muggy as hell. Yep Yep, yep, yep We also got to find something else to do for game night. The campfire stories are fun But I would like to do another trivia thing and i'm thinking about the uh, not thinking about I've written like 20 to 50 Uh, i'm not sure if i'm the reason why it's such a wide margin between 20 and 50 is i'm not sure about the 30 questions that I have Uh, steven king trivia night and i'm trying to make it difficult enough that google With googling the answers would be hard so Oh, I kid. He just had dinner She sat licking her chops looking cute. Oh We do need to invent um make a new horror edition a new horror trivia.   It has to be super weird and thought-provoking and disturbing like skinner ink or hereditary or I still need to watch bow is afraid but I'm trying to think of someone who is an ari aster Aster That that kind of thing. Um Or I like slashers, you know just goofy gore splattered films Did you like uh talk to me ryan because I've heard nothing but good things Yeah, I watched in fact uh me and shell did a couple episodes called castle talk Uh where we watched the first season We never finished it because we ended up not liking it and we didn't feel like talking about something that we didn't like Um because after like episode seven episode five even though episode seven is a classic That sissy spasic episode was amazing. I would have watched an entire movie just based on that episode Uh, but other than that we really didn't care too much for it Talked to me is excellent. So I'm hearing Something along the lines of a 24 is a foreign film. I saw last year called the innocence Best movie I saw saw all year easily. All right. I'll add that to the list Watch the innocence You better go into hunt and mansion now. Cool. Enjoy it. I love laquice stanfield He's amazing. I hope to work with him one day If any of you guys read maiden the book that I read I wrote with tc parker. I always Thought of the main one of the main characters jordan as laquice stanfield Yeah, I didn't I didn't even start uh the second season But I'm thinking about it, especially if I do what I plan to do which is covering all Of steven king's adaptations and any series that was based off his stuff like the dead zone that kind of thing I don't know why you haven't googled it back The the the trailers are everywhere. They're on youtube tiktok.  I didn't like the last one at all It was terrible the production quality everything was just utter garbage and then the conjuring universe With the nun la la rona all that stuff. I hated all of those movies And that's the middle ground that i'm talking about like the the well produced Movies just with shitty stories.  Um, I like the obscure Indy stuff and I really love the big budget slasher movies The last one wasn't great. No, it wasn't great at all. It was terrible The acting the cinematography the the editing everything about that movie was fucking terrible In 4d The only thing i've ever seen in 4d was uh, uh the terminator thing that they have at uh What was it uh universal studios where they have actors on the stage and the movie playing in the background A terrifier 2 was was something else. Yes. Um, I enjoyed it for what it was But I would never recommend it to anyone saying with the first movie Oh, the warrens were a hundred frauds a hundred percent Uh castlerock season 2 was pretty good season 1 And the insidious nun universe is shitty, but she's Definitely definitely don't watch the new children of the corn on shutter. Just don't i'm going to chad. You know i'm going to Uh, but that'll be like later later Because I plan on going from kerry all the way up to everything he's done Maybe starting after halloween. I might even start during halloween depending on how much content I have for 31 days of halloween Children of the corn so oh another thing I wanted to bring up earlier Uh, so I had I right now I have 85 prerecorded videos And because of my ocd, I wanted to get to 100 so I was kind of on the fence about stopping daily videos anyways Because I didn't want to break my streak. I wanted to keep going and going But then I thought about it and I was like Yeah, but if I just keep going when I do stop I'm going to want to beat that last record so You're putting you're digging yourself a hole and burying yourself in it So I'm kind of glad you guys still want the daily videos because I really want to hit 100 now those I Brian they are Problematic to an extent, but if you're talking about Like a jake brought up how he felt that uh The original terrifier was uh misogynistic Because of like the bisection scene it has so much violence against women kind of thing When the actress suggested that they go as far as they did in that scene because people don't like That kind of thing anymore.  Do I agree with her? I don't know. I don't really have a point of view on it other than The gore is really good in those movies. I really appreciate how much effort they put into making it look at least semi-realistic The best corn Movie is the 18 minute dollar baby movie on youtube Disciples of the crow that came out before the original corn adaptation. Very cool. I've never seen that I haven't the only The only dollar babies i've seen Is the one that's uh samantha colesnick was involved with for rainy season And the one luke jaden did for my pretty pony Is that the name of it? I think I have I've heard that hailey that bow is afraid But that that's the reason why I want to watch it Bowling would never be afraid Terrifier too felt like an 80s dark fantasy I can I can see that Not horror, but sisu is great if you guys want a mixture of tarantino mad max home alone blended into a foreign nazi murder movie Like the nazis are being murdered if so I want that in my life The dollar baby boogie man movie was awesome. I haven't seen that one I'm simple. I like scream in halloween, but that last halloween movie. I was actually angry watching that I'm gonna watch it as soon as it hits one of the streaming services that I have I'm not going to go out and spend money to see it But most of the streaming services we have we have for free anyways either we work for the company or um Or it's free through t-mobile So I don't have any streaming services that I actively pay for Used to pay for shutter, but yeah I'm looking forward to bow is afraid.  All right S i s u is that an acronym or is that actually what it's called? Actually, what it's called sisu. Okay Red banjo. Oh, I like the cinematography Yeah We gonna watch that Sisu all right. I'm all over that Like a wet napkin The only thing I didn't like but it was just because of my own expectations is how it ended I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about because I was hoping for that And then that hella cringe Uh credit sequence was too much. I had to turn it off. Um, I I usually watch things like that. I usually watch the credits to see if I recognize any names If there's anybody involved with it that you know, I might know so on and so forth But uh, yeah, I couldn't I couldn't get through with it sisu siso Sisu sisu Yeah, the end credits were just cringes hell She just kept pretty much repeating herself With like everything was like jizz related Disordering tea and you'll be back. All right And the thunder rolls and the lightning strikes It won't let me approve it either what what's going on YouTube is not letting me okay a comment probably because it was deleted I don't Which comment was it? I don't even see it Jimmy suggested an incoherent of king titles Noah's berries I think Barry deleted it. It said uh way up here Barry Morgan I'm pretty sure Barry deleted that comment himself. So it won't let you approve it because it's gone Yeah, I think Barry deleted it that that's not on you guys Uh, Uzumaki clan or Tony does that he does that quite often too Because it says message retracted that means that the actual user not user the commenter deleted their own comment And people do that because they make typos or whatever Bogg was like, I don't know anything about that What would you do such a thing? Why Let's show let's show typo freak flag fly Have you heard of the vomit gore trilogy? Unfortunately, I have I have not seen them, but I know about them There's certain things even I won't watch I was sitting here punching my screen I'm sorry Going to pretend this blue wrenches skeletor's staff Hey man Yeah, any of those like industrial No budget films.  I can't watch it Because there's no there's no point whatsoever to it Uh, and if you like that kind of thing that's up to you, but yeah My skeletor impression rocks. I've only been doing it since I was a child. I hope it's pretty good. It might be terrible. I don't know but Evil in Kiss my ass Welcome back Jake You realize I'm sorry Like I was just sitting around Waiting for an appointment that I didn't have I don't know why that's the first thing that came to my mind, but that's what it Thank you bag'll be Thank you bag'll be oh It's the saucer. Are you boom? I have I have seen that clip. I don't know if I could do a good job of it, but Boy skeletor was amazing in the original he-man series. Oh my god. That was my dude That was my dude.   I gotta figure out. I gotta figure out how to do it on uh on discord And make sure it's not a a movie. I'm gonna get sued over Um, I love skeletor in the christmas special and he's like me I don't know what's wrong with me What's wrong with me?  That's a horror novel Hey, I could write I could definitely write a short story about that Being stuck in a car that well, I mean steven king already did it. It's called kujo being stuck in a car You can't roll the windows down in the heat. Yeah, it's that's kujo. I was just That's kujo Uh, it's not necessarily get on trouble in trouble. You got to realize what kind of I don't you know I don't like talking about this stuff You got to realize the people I know So I am in the loop as it were And I could ruin my entire career if someone found out about something like that We should watch how are the duck we should and that's something I don't think I'd get in trouble with because Everyone associated with that movie hates that movie Rear window, but the window is in a car and there's no air conditioning once again kujo It's a Honda like the third time the window has broken Her it happens with Honda's a lot. It happened with our Nissan. I have a 2009 Nissan rogue And uh, the passenger side window, it's it's especially the passenger side window, which is funny But uh, because it doesn't get used the whole hell of a lot. Um She'll doesn't like to have her hair blown everywhere as you would expect so But it just stopped working and then it started working, but then she couldn't roll it up on her side I had to roll it up from the driver's side Rear window, but jimmy stewart says screw this. I can't I can't can I do jimmy stewart anymore?     No, come on.  That's fine. Just a differing opinion those movies are just Plain stupid to me The only thing I ever laughed at watching any of them was the Mike Tyson and I did get locked inside an old Buick Riviera once Rear wind it's just going to turn into a rear window thread now Rear window, but the horror is that the vertical blinds are all tangled up and it's just a person faffing So it's just all of us at some point in our lives There's an old junker that had been stolen the steering column busted.  It auto locked on me. That's terrifying I talked about rear window with a friend not too long ago and told him the entire film is pretty much grace kelly Wanting to have sex with jimmy steward, but he keeps bringing up the murder across the way Yes, I love that movie because it's like she has Her autonomy is like yo, I want this and it's it's one of those rare films where the dude wants Absolutely nothing to do With the hot chick in the room with him and he's just so hyper folk focused and fixated. We got poor adhd Possibly autistic jimmy steward over here going no, no, no, no. No, this is important. Not your titties. This is important Why are you so sweaty? I was watching cops I went I went outside And it's a hundred degrees Oh kevin. I love kevin smith stan helsing. Why Why do you always have to bring this movie up? It is your howard the duck for sure Stan helsing for you. This is sat question stan helsing for you is howard the duck for me It is definitely your howard the duck I'd have been I'd have been on my back on the the back seat kicking a window. I'm not no I ain't no way. I don't care as soon as it wouldn't open like the second or third try I'd have been back there shoving both feet power thrusting into the window That's why grace kelly loves him. He's so cool Nothing in that movie is cool.   Yeah my my oldest wants to go see it, but we're just Not going right now I also want to see Oppenheimer, but The murderer will may wait man That woman ordered a large sausage deliver Uh, the worst I've had is getting stuck in an elevator and target Your elbow your your elevator has a target.  I've never been in a target with an elevator I've been in malls with elevators A target with an elevator. I am impressed and intrigued See, I would I wouldn't freak out in an elevator because I know how to get in and out of them I was uh For a very short period of time in my life I was a hotel inspector So I knew all I knew everything about hotels and that included elevators um So Yeah, I literally had my little black light. I would go in and check And anytime I found stains somewhere I'd have to write them up Oh, yeah 100 tie. I understand Uh, the other guys in stranger than fiction are under I agree with you about stranger than fiction I have not seen the other guys because I don't like mark walley walley world wallyberg Brian did you or anybody else afraid of elevators? Did you guys like devil? I think it's one of the more underrated horror movies I work property management. So I know how safe elevators are but I still prefer the stairs I understand that But I know how to get out of an elevator if it gets stuck So I'm not a bit worried about being stuck in an elevator if that motherfucker starts dropping though Yeah, I'm pooping myself. I'm I'm gonna be covered in dookie.  It's gonna be a messy crime scene Yeah, I love devil People sometimes think it was a shaman directed movie. It was produced by him But uh, yeah, I really like devil What do you call an alligator in a vest an investigator? Boy, I remember that from my childhood. I think my grandmother might have told me that one That's that's a good. That's a good one. That brings back all the good. Lovey feels My grandmother was an amazing woman. She took us well me me specifically because none of my Cousins or anybody else wanted to go with her.   I love everything about that place and you actually get to buy jams knots branded jams Isn't jimmy steward watching the hot chick across the way maryland munroe The whoever is across the way.

We're talking about real rear window, right? Rear window, but at the end the woman is so frustrated by the man not paying her any attention That she kills him then the camera pans over and we see another neighbor watching from their window at the end Raymond burr or whoever the hell it is comes to kill jimmy steward. Oh, yeah, the crooked cabin was amazing Like you'd have you're trying to stand up straight, but you can't it's amazing. I love that the dinosaur ride Oh, they're gone now Oh Hey, Gabriel, you might know about this one. Do you know about the uh Flintstones park That's the world's wife. There's another woman Jimmy steward looks at sometimes across the way. She's the woman. Oh, okay. I'm sorry I thought you were talking about the the woman that dies. I'm like This is not the same movie All right, Chad I will hit you up later on and you can respond to my text whenever I I'm on the same page now lazy.  All this is wrong. Why is this all wrong? I really dug mimic three um the third mimic movie because it was very much we're Rear window Ifa is warm and full and her dinden after her dindens and has curled up to snooze next to me doll I've heard of a flintstones park, but never been there if you come out to california Did you happen to drive in the desert by those?

Gabriel if you didn't know I grew up in a semernino county los angeles a couple different other places um, but yeah, I I've been I've been there it says like Calamesa it's very near palm springs The end is really funny because now jimmy steward has two broken legs And how is he gonna?

I have yeah, um in fact if you guys are interested in seeing what i'm talking about Peewee herman actually goes there and peewee herman's big adventure Um, it's I believe either right after or before the mad marge Section, I can't remember but I have been inside those dinosaurs I'm still reeling from hotel inspector. Yeah, I used to go in fact. I wrote a short story called cum c o m e uh That uh that is based on my experience and you maybe you won't be surprised But you might be surprised at some places where I have found biological fluids um, there was one time where someone had rubbed the entire phone with it um And it was biological And it was clear so you couldn't tell what it was But it was completely slathered all over the telephone. Okay. There was one time where the entirety of the sink was spattered There was one time that the ceiling Had spritz Yeah, because these are places that don't normally get cleaned And you might think wait a second. Of course the sink is going to get cleaned You'd be surprised Uh, if a sink looks clean the housekeeper will usually not clean it And it's only if you can tell that there has been some kind of Something if it looks dirty, they're supposed to clean from top to bottom and completely replace your sheets But nine times out of ten and this is no joke nine times out of ten.

Yes I have been inside those dinosaurs Jurassic park uncut truest effects Oh, yeah, I mean being locked inside anywhere. Even if you're not claustrophobic. That's just terrifying spec I once cleaned out a house and in the master bedroom There was a box under the bed Full of something that looked like it had almost melted and molded together And it took us a while to figure out what it was Eventually we figured out it was a box of used condoms Wow, how in the hell did you type a russian character boggle boggle has completely just Perfected the art of typo perfected look at that gross zhike In soviet russia You don't melt calm condom condom melt you I couldn't even get it out I couldn't even get it out That's what that's what he said.  That's uh What was that movie about the blind slasher? Ceno evil or something like that Or the one where the guy is a war vet and he's trying to Uh impregnate the women he kidnaps What was the name of that movie? Y'all know what I'm talking about, don't you? That's how that one ended. Oh spoilers. Fuck. Sorry Don't mention the name of the movie if you know it because spoilers Tonal clippings. Oh, did you have a black light though lazy? That that's it. Brian. That's it. Yep Years ago.  Yeah I had a really bad. Oh, okay. I didn't read this one. Um cleaning out a house where the tenants Had been evicted and I won't go into detail, but it involved an animal being okay.  She had a jar of teeth because she had Wait, I have four siblings total one sister I don't claim that is my youngest sister, but she's still older than me by a couple years And then my two sisters that I one another one. I don't claim. I don't have any contact with it That doesn't matter I have one sister that's like eight years older than me one that's 12 years old than me and one that's 14 years Older than me and my mother kept all of our baby teeth. So she literally had a small pickle jar full of teeth And that's one of the things that inspired life after dain You're welcome I think the guy and anthrax used to In hotel bins and then turned the heating on and leave her in her room.  That's probably scott ian doing that because he's gnarly See a person with a jar of teeth just makes me think of cool tooth fairy horror stories teeth are creepy.  Uh, in fact, one of the housekeepers ended up Uh, adopting it right there on the spot. She was like, I'm gonna take this home and like I don't care but um, but I was just doing my rounds doing an inspection and it was like Maybe 11 Almost noon. So 11 in the morning. I'm going around checking the newly You know supposedly cleaned rooms and I come across one Where there's just a cat in the corner.  That sounds terrible I saw this great meme recently an eight-year-old kid asked why the tooth fairy doesn't just dig up dead people and take their teeth good point That could be a whole short story like what the What the tooth fit like if a a tooth fairy gets fired from the job or something And they have to survive somehow. So they start robbing graveyards See, this is how my mind works someone mentioned something like like that and then all of a sudden I have a full Full plot in my head.  Yeah, you're you're right.  She can't use a shovel You well, we've already talked about let fiction be fiction But stop it lazy have some have some fun have some imagination It would be a cool horror story And then like the tooth fairy comes across someone who was buried alive or whatever they would be cool It could it could be the next campfire story.
