Travis and Jenn explore YouTube's evolving AI landscape and discuss whether artificial intelligence is a helpful tool or a concerning replacement for human creativity. They demonstrate VidIQ's Script Writer tool live on the podcast, showing how AI can assist with research while still allowing creators to maintain their unique voice.
• AI updates on YouTube are creating new opportunities but also raising questions about content authenticity
• The human connection remains critical for viewers, even as AI-generated content becomes more convincing
• vidIQ's Script Writer tool demonstrates how AI can help with research and save time without replacing creativity
• Comment management doesn't require responding to every comment—focus on those that stand out or are funny
• Movie reviewers should understand fair use but recognize that using footage may still result in copyright claims
• AI licensing companies are approaching creators, but be cautious about what rights you're signing away

Hey, welcome back to the only podcast that is so excited to be here. We decided to do it on a Friday. My name is Travis and I'm here with Jen.
Speaker 2:Hello, happy Friday.
Speaker 1:Well, it's Friday for us. It's actually Monday when people listen to this.
Speaker 2:That's actually the worst situation you could have opened this up with.
Speaker 1:It's Friday for us, though, and that's all that matters. Uno reverso. I'm Travis and she's Jen, and we're here to teach you all about your YouTube channel, how to grow them and learn all the things on YouTube, as well as sometimes talk about candy the only podcast where you will learn about both in the same thing. I don't know how we do this.
Speaker 2:I don't know how either, but they're so equally important.
Speaker 1:We're so good at it too. I don't know exactly how we're able to do this. Lots of stuff has happened over the last couple of weeks on YouTube I watched. I don't know if I assume that by the time this goes live, the video we saw with Rob doing all the updates in June will probably be live on the main Fidakio channel. It's interesting to see all the updates, but the things that have mostly been happening and we're just going to do this before we get into the questions um, wait.
Speaker 2:I mean we're not supposed to talk about? I don't think so. I think we can talk about everything.
Speaker 1:Um, a lot of ai updates. I've noticed. Um the uh, the shorts are going to start having. Um, what is that called? Uh, what's the youtube version of ai? What's that one thing called?
Speaker 2:I don't even keep track of them anymore.
Speaker 1:That's how. That's how close attention I'm paying the youtube. Ai huh sure so it's the, it's the fake videos that you're seeing and the reason why I bring this up is because you're going to be able to use these tools, and you already can. Obviously, there's tons of um ai tools out there to make content with right. There's, there's music, there's videos, there's pictures, all types of stuff and these are tools and I think it's important to understand that they are tools. But, by the same token, some weird stuff's going on, jen.
Speaker 1:Some weird stuff is going on it is and are you worried about AI taking over creativity and taking over content creation? What do you think?
Speaker 2:about that? No, not. I think there's some really really funny stuff with ai that's been coming out lately, like all the vlogs have you been seeing that side no, not like fake vlogs.
Speaker 2:Fake, oh my god wait, where you have like moses vlogging and you have like gorillas vlogging. Oh my god, it's so, it's so funny because it's like it is the best spoof on like youtubers like it's. One I watched is actually like moses and he's like holding like his vlog cam and he's like, yeah, we're all gathered here, he's about to part the seas like oh yeah, I have seen some of those.
Speaker 1:I haven't seen that specific one, but yes, I have seen those.
Speaker 2:So to me I'm like this is specific one, but yes, I have seen those. So to me, I'm like this is funny, like I don't think this is taking away from anyone else, like I think someone was really creative for making this.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I see like so many like gorilla ones that are on like a bro hunting trip and like I think that side is so entertaining right now. But to me that's just different and that's like fully its own thing, like I don't think you're not trying to be AI at that point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think, as you know, in the YouTube growth niche it's very black or white. You either are team AI or you're not, and you're very much hating everything that AI brings to the creative space. And I get both sides of it. I look at it pragmatically but I also am concerned about some of the things. So um guy I know, austin evans, just did a video where he video well, not video called, but he he sent a video to a bunch of his other tech youtuber friends to react to and it was basically him saying he was going to stop doing youtube and some of them believed it. But it was all ai.
Speaker 1:The entire was AI, and sometimes there's things that give stuff away. But it's getting so good now that content creation itself could be replaced. Now I've had this. I'm not going to say it's a conspiracy theory, I'm just going to say it's a statement. If YouTube could just be a content creation machine without the creators, it would become instantly more profitable and it wouldn't have all those creative problems it has to worry about where we complain about.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's true but would viewers stand for it? That's where I, that's what I don't know. Well, so you say that, but people are watching stuff now and are happy with it and don't realize it's not real.
Speaker 2:People are watching because they want human connection I agree with that. They're just like if they were bamboozled by AI. I think the second they found out that it was AI, they would hate it. Like, why would you want to connect with, like a robot? Like you're watching your favorite creators do literally anything? Well, you know like you're watching someone online that you have like a parasocial relationship with. Go grocery shopping Like you're hanging out, but like as soon as you find out that's AI. I don't I think immediately like ties are cut.
Speaker 2:I got bad news for you, jen, I got. Bad news for you, I, I got bad news for you.
Speaker 1:I just watched a Good Morning America thing where this guy is falling in love with his AI.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, we didn't talk about that.
Speaker 1:Well, it's kind of the same thing We've got Black Mirror episodes about that.
Speaker 1:People are falling in love with their AI, and it's a scary world. What does that mean for content creation? Well, youtube is going to allow you to use more ai type tools for content creation. The one thing I'm unsure about, uh, is how much of it's going to be monetizable, and it's it's something that they're not really talking about, because they have mentioned, um, some of the music ai stuff you can use, um, like some of it can be claimed or something, or it isn't monetizable. I just saw a help page about this, like yesterday, so it's hard to know whether, if you make an entire, there's a lot of and I hesitate to use this term but there's a lot of slop content on YouTube, on YouTube AI, faceless slop, as they call it.
Speaker 2:Disclaimer not on vidIQ.
Speaker 1:That's not a thing. No, on YouTube, um, you know, people are just trying to make money or or do these kind of like low effort things, and I think this is just going to get worse with, yes, the advent of this sort of thing, and I'm hoping that viewers reject it yeah, because you're in a position where, like there's no skills necessary, like there's a certain level of skills, like you need to participate on youtube and sure you can learn them.
Speaker 2:Like it's not the most difficult thing to get started to make like your first video. But like now with ai, like you don't need anything. You can have a completely faceless AI voice channel and you're disconnected from the entire process. That's done for you. And I think that's the problem we have now is, before you had to have this desire to learn, you had to want to be on youtube and learn these skills and continue to like work hard on these skills. And now there's a lot of shortcuts for those skills but at the end of the day, like I don't think they make better content. I have yet to see a situation where this ai skill set has taken over and I would rather watch that than somebody that's putting in the time and like doing it in their own way.
Speaker 1:I think we're closer to that tipping point than you might think, because the way AI grows is exponential. If you think about just a year ago what AI was like versus now, it's way different. It's like an order of magnitude. The way that humans and the way we do things and we expand over the history of the world takes a lot longer than what ai has had to do in the same amount of time. Like it's wild but gen tendo is super expanding rapidly.
Speaker 1:Okay, she is like on the the top end of everything. But I do want to show real quick something which we never do here, but I actually want to take a moment to do this. I want to show where AI can be very helpful, and here's what we're going to do. I'm going to show vidIQ.
Speaker 2:I think helpful is the key word, though that's what you're saying is like helpful. It's like lean on AI for help but not to actually create. Yeah, like lean on AI for help but not to actually create.
Speaker 1:Correct? Yeah, I agree. Well, to a certain degree. Let me show you what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean we're speaking for, like you know, the part we're talking about, not not the AI Moses. Let's leave him.
Speaker 1:He's great Moses got to stay back. He's got to stay part in the Red Seas no-transcript using lately, which is the script writer.
Speaker 2:Now what's interesting is I don't wait, I can actually vouch for this, because travis has been blowing all of us up about I know.
Speaker 1:Okay, can I just say that up until this thing was created for us, I didn't use scripts. I don't like them. I'm like ah, that's not creative. You can't be in the moment. Never used scripts in my life. This thing was created. We came up with it here at VidIQ, using a whole bunch of AI stuff, and all of a sudden, I'm using it all the time, and I'll show you why I use it all the time. Even if you aren't someone who reads a script, it's actually really good at doing research for you for a video. So here's where we are. If you're watching the YouTube video, I highly recommend, if you're not listening, if you're not watching it, to watch this part, because this is really amazing. So, jen, I want you to give me either a working title about something or a main topic and in real time, here on the show, we're going to make a script about something.
Speaker 1:I'm going to show you how cool this is and this is available if you use vidIQ and again, I'm not doing it just because I'm shilling this, but because I'm thoroughly impressed by this and use it now. So give me an idea of something it can be anything.
Speaker 2:What I ate in a day, eating only sandwiches.
Speaker 1:Okay, wait, I only eat sandwiches, and then what's like the thing. I only eat sandwiches and then what's like the thing, I only eat sandwiches, and what and what I learned from that, something like that, or well, I was just going more on like a typical. What I eat in a day only sandwiches I'm expecting breakfast sandwich lunch sandwich, dinner sandwich, jen, I'm attacked. I really only eat sandwich.
Speaker 2:I'm not even that's me that's like this is gonna be good for you. It's gonna give you some new recipes all right.
Speaker 1:So what I'm putting in here is I want a 10 minuteminute script about I only eat sandwiches every day. The tone which is like you can say. You want it to be casual, formal, informative story.
Speaker 2:Maybe put recipes into the title.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, what did we say? I only eat sandwiches every day. These are my favorite recipes. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:These are my favorite recipes. I have no idea what's going is going.
Speaker 2:I don't know where this is going either. But I'm very curious because if we both get like a sandwich recipe out of this, I'm pumped.
Speaker 1:Oh, reoccupies, why did it?
Speaker 2:Why is it my favorite reoccupies.
Speaker 1:Recipes. There we go. All right, the tone I think we should use like storytelling. I think that'd be fun.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, I like this.
Speaker 1:So it's gonna be a 10 minute.
Speaker 2:Um thing now video about sandwiches, let's go.
Speaker 1:So right now the I starting to look, think about this and go. What do you? Okay, now it's asking me oh do you want your video to focus on quick, everyday? Sandwiches or gourmet, unique recipes or a mix of both oh, both, oh, we want to mix them both, mix of both.
Speaker 2:All right, so now just coming on to our script generator meal plan I love by the way I eat sandwiches.
Speaker 1:I had a sandwich for breakfast already, all right. So now what it's doing is checking a bunch of stuff. Now, one of the things I will say is what I like about this is this AI now will look at things that are recent. So if you're doing something that's in the news, it actually will look at things and watch YouTube videos about it and then give you feedback about it. It actually will look at things and watch YouTube videos about it and then give you feedback about it.
Speaker 1:Now you can take the script and then just read the script, or you can take it as bullet points and use that for your own video and just kind of go okay, I want to talk about this, this, this and this, and it's already researched for you, which is what's to me, that's the biggest part. Now look, here's the three different ones we can choose from. I only eat sandwiches every day. These are my favorite recipes my sandwich addiction, from PB&J to gourmet feasts oh my god, or you won't believe these sandwiches I eat daily. Which one of those do we want to go more into?
Speaker 2:I'm kind of going from the transformation from PB&J to gourmet sandwiches.
Speaker 1:You want to do that one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's go with that one, we're going to click that one one hit, continue and now it's gonna do. It's gonna do more magic behind the scenes. If you're watching youtube video, you're seeing what it's doing. It's saying it's building a solid foundation. It's gonna find all these things and I asked it to make a 10 minute script so I'll be able to do like a 10 minute youtube video on this. Now, of course, you've got to do your own b-roll and all that other stuff yeah, I mean, this is a tool, like we have tools.
Speaker 2:We are not here providing like fully ai content, like these are to help you, right, right, you know, this is like we came up with the idea we're laughing, we're playing with the different ideas, we're making decisions and now we're using the tools to our advantage yes, and it's saving time.
Speaker 1:the thing that I like about this most is it saves me time. So when I would do pieces that I'm trying to get across a point or something like that about a subject, I would have to do a bunch of research, I'd have to take the notes, I'd have to do all these things. This thing is doing it in less than five minutes. It's doing all the research going on the Internet. It's looking through YouTube videos, looking through articles. It's taking all that information, boiling it down and then giving you a script. But again you could literally go back through it and then bullet point and go make this a bullet point. Let me give it my own words. But at least the research is done and I can point out different things, and that's what I love about this. So it's still it's hammering out. The first draft is what it says right now.
Speaker 2:Love it. I'm so excited to find out about how I went from PB&J. By the way, I hate peanut butter.
Speaker 1:You know this, though, right Wait, did I know that you hate peanut butter? I don't like peanut butter. I like jelly, but I don't like peanut butter at all.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, well, what a true transformation it would be. Sandwiches you hate. Sandwiches you love.
Speaker 1:I used to make sandwiches that I hated, and now I love sandwiches. This is ridiculous. And now it's doing some fact checking, which is great because we know that back in the day ai did have some some issues with fact checking things wait, do you like anything?
Speaker 2:peanut butter? No, I don't like nuts.
Speaker 1:I don't like nuts, so I will eat a reese's peanut butter cup.
Speaker 2:If it's there like I won't actively go get it but if someone's literally the same as my husband and I'm convinced he likes peanut butter and he, his argument is that Reese's are not peanut butter.
Speaker 1:It has peanut butter. I don't look at Reese's as a peanut butter treat. It does have something.
Speaker 2:Ew, this conversation's over. I don't like losing.
Speaker 1:Oh well, let me just say that I'm with your hubby on this one.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God, the two of you. Oh, can we get some other people in the comments to say that Reese's are in fact peanut butter and you have to like peanut butter if you like?
Speaker 1:a Reese's cup, but I don't like peanut butter and I don't mind this is a new war. How do we get?
Speaker 2:back onto candy Like what? How did we get here?
Speaker 1:There's no way we can't be talking about candy in this podcast. I have no idea how do we get here? Ridiculous.
Speaker 2:Also I was watching. I don't think that Reese's are as popular in the UK because I've been binging Jolly's their series of having high school students try American things and a lot of times like Reese's come up as like being very, very American.
Speaker 1:Interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did not know that. I mean, I'm sure they're like available.
Speaker 1:but probably more popular.
Speaker 2:It's something that's just like not popular. We should ask Rob.
Speaker 1:That's we need to have Rob on and talk about it. Yeah, that's a. I think that's something that's important.
Speaker 2:Okay, all the videos. Just make Rob do them.
Speaker 1:Well, you know we have to ask him the peanut butter question then. So he lived in. You know he's been in America many times and he's lived in British Columbia, so he will definitely know about Reese's. So we'll have to see if he thinks that it's a peanut butter treat or not. I guess leave us a comment below or an email. I'm sure no one is paying attention to it at this point. We're just talking about candy, okay.
Speaker 2:We'll come back to this While we're waiting for the script.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's uh, while we're waiting for this it's almost done, we're gonna, I'm gonna uh get to the first email, so uh, of course, if you're new here, I like this.
Speaker 2:I like this storytelling. It's like we'll come back to that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're going to come back to that. Hang tight, hang on to your britches. If you'd like to email us, you can send us an email at theboostvideoqcom or we'll try to give you an answer. At least we try to. We're pretty smart, we know some things and sometimes we're right. It depends. Comes from Superfit Cosplay. We've heard them from the Down Under. Hey, team Superfit Cosplay. Here again, I'm trying to grow. Of course, my videos get more and more comments. I try to answer all of them, but it does get to the point at some stage. Oh, it does get to the point at some stage. Work, because it's not my full-time job, I can't really keep up. Some of my videos have hundreds of comments. Whilst I like to reply to everyone, sometimes I can't. Does this hurt my reach or chances for the video to grow? Also, I've been trying to play with shorts. I'm sorry about it, jen. And then, last question I've been playing with shorts too.
Speaker 1:Well, actually we'll get a second question after this first one. So, answering comments, this is something that we deal with on the main channel, right? A lot of big YouTubers have a thing they do where they just sit there for the first hour and then after that it is what it is. Is that? How do you tend to handle this sort of situation?
Speaker 2:Jen, I handle or answer comments that just like really stand out to me, and it's different every time, but I don't try to answer every single one Sure in a perfect world but also like some comments are just comments, Like they don't need a reply.
Speaker 1:You hit the heart on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh yeah. I definitely like heart, tons of them but I don't think all comments need a reply, so, like ones that really stand out to me, are ones that are like very funny, and I will go in and reply, which I think is so funny response.
Speaker 1:That's what stood out to me I think that's fun, I'm excited for that, I was like what well, remember there used to be video responses on youtube back back in the day.
Speaker 2:Remember that I don't remember that, no as the creator used to be able to leave a video response to comments I do not remember that, but like the voice comments I'm like that's fun and that is quick and I think it's I like like a super comment.
Speaker 1:I would do that reply yeah, so for people don't know they're, um, that's something that sounds like it's coming out, where you'll be able to leave a voice comment in response to a comment that you get, which I think will be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:Um, oh no, I don't think this creator should put that much pressure on answering every comment. I mean it's not feasible right and that's just my approach. I know a lot of creators, like you're saying, set aside that time when a video goes live, but I just answer the ones that are funny, and it's always somebody different or it's always something that just catches my attention speaking of great comments that get a lot of attention.
Speaker 1:Uh, I noticed a lot of people jen were agreeing with me that you pop out the videos in the tabs to watch multiple videos back and back.
Speaker 2:That's disgusting. All of you are animals a lot of people backing me up.
Speaker 1:I just want to say that, of course, because it's the right way to do it. We don't know what Jen does. I don't know what she does all of you are so bizarre. Jen, all of us do it. What are you talking about? You're the only one that doesn't do it. That makes you bizarre. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:You're the only one that doesn't do it. That makes you bizarre. What are you talking about? Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1:so I guess so, but still Were you really shocked.
Speaker 2:That is just like the craziest thing to me. Yeah, you're genuinely shocked by that. I'm not opening a new tab for anything.
Speaker 1:Like I'm a one tab girl. Oh, all right, good, and we think his computer's going to explode.
Speaker 2:Our arch nemesis.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, me and my one tab and his like thousand tabs, bro. That freaked me out. I was watching that and I was like what are you doing? He's trying to blow his computer up. Okay, let's go back to the second part of this question. Last question I have been contacted by a company named RHEI. They claim that they pay YouTubers to be available for AI. In other words, they would license out my stuff so that AI can learn from it. They claim I keep the licensing and revenue per normal from AdSense and I can continue other partnerships. Have you heard of this company or anything like this? This is legit. Now here's the funny thing YouTube already does this for free. They're already using videos to train their ai. So you're you might as well get paid, I guess that's so sketchy to me, I don't know yeah, it does sound sketchy, but by the same token.
Speaker 1:So the question is do you have to give up anything or are they just going to pay you for the rights, like in other words, do they need access to your account if they like, say we need your login and stuff, nah, don't do it. Nope, zero. If're saying is hey, can we just use your stuff? I mean I would. It's already being done without you being paid for it. So for me, pay me. Don't sign, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I would say it gets sketchy though, because if you're licensing something out like, they have the rights to your content now to do.
Speaker 1:Well, now to do well, so I would look at the contract, yeah, maybe. Yeah, you gotta make sure that you are paying attention to what you're signing. If you're signing something, be careful.
Speaker 2:Be careful, right um next thing you know, you're in a commercial in japan. You're 100 in a commercial in japan.
Speaker 1:What are you talking about? That's 100 happening. You're definitely going to be in a. I would. I would love to be in a japanese commercial. I'd be amazing. I, a Japanese commercial. I'd be amazing, I'd love that. All right, let's get to our next email, and it looks like our script is done too, but we're going to do this next email first. This one comes from Tim Hi, jen again, and still, travis, you answered my multi channel question 100% to my satisfaction, thank you, I'm a bit of a YouTube addict.
Speaker 1:How could you tell these aren't a business? Um, there's not supposed to be an income, but it's a nice. It's nice that they have uh, they make around a hundred dollars a month in ads, so that's always listen, that's extra money, that's money.
Speaker 2:You have tim and I would be very good friends if we were in? Like a chat.
Speaker 1:We would each of us be starting a new channel every week uh, since I've right, I've wrote in, I've had some, I made some and, jen, please forgive me to decide to not create a fourth channel is what they're saying and incorporate that content to one of the others. Thank you for giving me permission to not niche down. Yeah, no worries, listen, not every answer has to be niche down.
Speaker 2:This is the fun thing, though, because Tim is doing YouTube from a different place than a lot of people do, and it's just fun and there's no rules when it's fun.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And it's just fun and there's no rules. When it's fun, right, and it's fun to see results. When there's no rules, absolutely what are you talking? I gotta know if you think in youtube titles, if you're as obsessed as some of us here, are there times you can't shut off your brain and you're literally thinking in youtube titles let me ask you a question, jen.
Speaker 1:yeah, in the last 48 hours, how many youtube channel ideas have you come up with for yourself? Be honest, if there's zero, that's fine.
Speaker 2:That's normal. No, I don't think I've come up with a new channel. I've been playing with shorts that are making fun of my behavior Literally my behavior.
Speaker 1:With the darts.
Speaker 2:Is that what that one was? That one, yes, making fun of youtube behavior and then, like I have my, we see a swivel, my dartboard that's so crazy.
Speaker 1:I love that you got to be on youtube to see what you, just what she just showed.
Speaker 2:That was wild that and then also, like what I said, like thinking in like YouTube titles, like when I hang out with like my YouTube friends, like something can come up and like one of us will just say a YouTube title from it and it like cracks both of us up.
Speaker 1:But like I can acknowledge when a good YouTube title has come up, but I'm not thinking in YouTube titles.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think that's where we oh my gosh, it's so, it's so, it's so funny. I guarantee you, tim is thinking. Youtube titles.
Speaker 1:He probably is.
Speaker 2:Guarantee you, it's so, so funny, that's so weird. You got to shut it off. Yeah, so I haven't been starting channels, but I've been thinking of content to make about the people like us that cannot stop that behavior. That's wild.
Speaker 1:All right, so our script is done that's wild.
Speaker 2:All right, so our script is done, let's go take a look at it. Uh, all right. Oh, I'm so excited. What are we?
Speaker 1:having for dinner tonight, travis. So let's see, I'm gonna read just a little bit of what the script came up with and I'm gonna show you, if you're looking at youtube video, how you can kind of alter this. So the title is my sandwich addiction from pbj to gourmet feast, the hook and I'm gonna read this as if I'm doing the it all kicked off with two slices of bread and some peanut butter. Sounds innocent, right? Yeah, that's what I figured too. I never dreamed that the basic pantry staple would spark a full-blown food obsession, totally changing my meals and turning my kitchen into a lab of flavors, textures Well, honestly, eyebrow-raising amounts of fancy bread. So forget what you think a simple sandwich is. You're about to see how wild this sandwich thing can get. And that's the hook. I think that's pretty good, right.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:Then there's like the intro. They kind of talk some things through the spark Beyond PB&J, the learning curve, oh, the learning curve of making new sandwiches. Yeah, look at how this first one starts. Oh, my God, stop. Yeah, look at how this first one starts off.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God, stop, they're going into bread details.
Speaker 1:Yes, of course.
Speaker 2:Thank the Lord.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you about that grilled cheese moment. It's not a strict recipe, more like a few key ideas. First, the bread you need something that can hold up. Sourdough is amazing for this. Then the cheese Don't be shy, sourdough is the best, by the way, a sourdough is the best, by the way, it's a sourdough grilled cheese like you can't even top that. No, it's, it's legit, um, but anyway. So this is and you can read this off but the cool thing about it on the right hand side, you can refine the script. You can do things like make it sound like mr beast, shorten the script to under three minutes, use more analogies, uh, to simplify complex parts, you can type in anything you want here. And then also, by the way, you can actually just go in here and directly edit the thing.
Speaker 2:Oh, look at you type in turkey apple cheddar sandwich. Okay, what?
Speaker 1:The idea of turkey apple cheddar sandwich with that sweet, and it's supposed to be savory, I think. So let's put that back Savory thing going on. So yeah, you can come in here and edit.
Speaker 2:Oh, Travis, you made a homemade herb cream cheese for that.
Speaker 1:It says I did Tomato cucumber. First of all, I'm not touching cucumber. I'm not doing cucumber though.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, what did cucumber do to you?
Speaker 1:Greer, greer. Look at these different cheeses. Maybe a greer or a fontana, I don't know what that is?
Speaker 2:What's the final sandwich? Oh, Getting Serious. Part 3.
Speaker 1:Where is it at? Let's see.
Speaker 2:The last one, the, is part three. Where is it at?
Speaker 1:Let's see Go down the last one, the conclusion.
Speaker 2:Wait, nope, up a little bit, up a little bit, I think I said I saw it was a club.
Speaker 1:The obsession really kicks in the perfect club sandwich. Look at this. Let's talk about the club. It has to be a triple decker. No ifs, ands or buts. Toasted bread is a must. Good quality roasted turkey and crisp bacon are the stars. By the way, I agree with this. Fresh lettuce and ripe tomato are the key supporting players. Mayo should be lightly spread on each layer of bread. How you build it is everything Bread, mayo, lettuce, turkey and then another slice of bread. You know what I mean. It's fun.
Speaker 2:Oh, my god. Okay, I lied. My YouTube channel that I'm starting is Travis, creating the videos that I suggest. This is an amazing idea.
Speaker 1:It's so much fun and again, like this is stuff that gives you some good and if you have to do the research about new stories and stuff, the script writer will do that for you and it'll tell you like things that have happened recently, like I did this so funny I did this as a live demo for for a large content creator and, um, it showed them news stories that happened the week previous.
Speaker 1:It was like, and this happened on this date, it was like two weeks ago and I'm like, holy crap. So it's really amazing. It's the script writer on vid iq. So just go to vid iqcom, sign up and uh up and try it out and have fun and tell us what scripts you've come up with.
Speaker 2:Yeah, tell us what scripts you try out, because I feel like that one. I saw hesitation in your eyes, Travis.
Speaker 1:Here's what we're going to do Putting it to the test. I saw the hesitation in that script that you showed up.
Speaker 1:No, here's what's going to happen. Submit it to us and in like two weeks, jen and I will read the winning script. So one of you out there, make a script using our script writer software, make it for two people, make it a minute long, because you can tell it to do a minute long, and Jen and I will read the script. We'll do it maybe at the studio thing. I'll read one part, jen will read the other, and it can be about anything, just make it work appropriate.
Speaker 2:I was going to say, yeah, safe for work, safe for work.
Speaker 1:So the way you do that is go to vidIQcom, sign up and then use the script writer, like I showed here on YouTube. Once you're done, a one-minute script that has two people in it so we can both take our turns and we'll read it in a podcast.
Speaker 2:Wait, I think we should take it even one step shorter. I think if we're going for a script that short, like we should, we should make the short out of it when we're together okay that we should make the video, that's.
Speaker 1:I think that sounds amazing. That sounds incredible so you can have your. I mean, make it something fun. Make it something fun or funny. I mean really we'll be in seattle, if that helps anybody with ideas we'll be in seattle. We will judge Whatever gets submitted to us. We'll pick the winner and then we'll record it during the in-studio.
Speaker 2:Before we get like an Eiffel Tower-like location we'll be in Seattle.
Speaker 1:Insane. Yeah, please make it Seattle Central. It doesn't have to be.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, that'd be so funny and then if it's good, I mean we'll publish that.
Speaker 1:We will. I mean, why not? I think it'd be hilarious. Oh my god. All right, let's get to this next. Uh, email from alan. Also, if you're listening to audio podcast, you can leave us a text message. There's a an option for that in the show notes. Hi, jen, hey, travis and jen. I have a small channel dedicated to reviewing the newest movie releases in theaters. One question that always keeps me up at night where do other youtubers get movie trailer footage from? Other youtubers use this kind of footage as B-roll, and I'd like to do the same. However, it is my understanding that downloading directly from YouTube is illegal. Yet I suspect even the biggest of YouTubers dedicated to talk about movies do this suspicious activity. I've been lucky enough that I've caught the attention of a big movie studio and they are so kind in sending me materials so that I can use as B-roll. Yet the question remains how can I get this footage to use this b-roll in a legal way? Thanks for your support. First of all, congratulations on getting a studio that you.
Speaker 1:I never hear of this that's always they're always copyright striking people.
Speaker 1:I've never heard anyone say yeah, no, they were like here, use it for b-roll. That's amazing. Congrats, um, fair use. So we we've talked about fair use before. I think we have an entire episode or something on it or a video on it. Make sure you check that out on the YouTube channel, because it's actually I think it's on the main channel, because that's the episode where we had Ian Corzine, who's an actual lawyer, talk about fair use. They're probably getting it from other YouTube videos and stuff. I mean, some of them might be getting it from, like you are, but that's where they're mostly getting it from. But fair use is a thing and that means you can't just take stuff, and I think the thing that always stuck out to me about that conversation with Ian is don't take the heart, which is interesting. So if it's a spoiler of a movie, it's. There's a possibility that the rights holder might not take that in a good way and might take it down, more so than if you just took parts that are in the trailer anyway Like spoiler alert.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's tough. Just because creators are what you think you know, getting away with using it doesn't mean they're not getting copyrights left and right. You just can't see that.
Speaker 1:How many times has a creator said to you, to you, well, but this creator's doing and they're monetized, yeah, like you don't know the behind the scenes.
Speaker 2:Just because it's allowed to, it's like not blocked from youtube, doesn't mean that they're seeing a scent from that, doesn't mean that it's not like trying to be taken down. I had a creator that also had studio connections and they would be able to use footage and they would still get copyrights from it and they would have to like prove that no, I was allowed to use this and it would come down to like the date too, like if they used it a day too early than they were allowed to like boom done.
Speaker 1:Interesting. It was a nonstop copyright war yeah, and when you're dealing with copyrighted content, even if you are using it in a fair way, that is just the nature of the game.
Speaker 2:And God help you if it's Disney.
Speaker 1:Oh Lord, or even Nintendo.
Speaker 2:Nintendo's kind of vicious too sometimes.
Speaker 1:Hey, all right, nintendo, nintendo's kind of vicious too sometimes. Alright, last one for today is this one. This one comes from Mark, hey, hey, jen and Travis. I propose we have a National vidIQ, the Boost Appreciation Day.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, I love it. Wait does that mean we have to work or we get work off?
Speaker 1:That's a great question. Let's see what he says. I initially thought a good day for this would be on George Renner's birthday, the inventor of candy corn back in the 1880s. Unfortunately, historical records are vague so there's no exact date. Then I moved on to the Cadbury egg, invented by British chocolatier fries in 1963. Again, no clear single person or dates. Wow. Ultimately I decided the opening day of the Chicago World's Fair, may 1st 1893, where technology, culture and influence all came together in one place much like YouTube today.
Speaker 2:What do you guys?
Speaker 1:think May 1st. Sorry for the history lesson. This is just how my brain works.
Speaker 2:I love that. I mean, normally I would vote May 1st if we didn't just pass that holiday.
Speaker 1:Right, we just you know, it's a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2:Let's move it to the summer, shall we?
Speaker 1:Can we get it like tomorrow, wait, tomorrow's Saturday? We don't want that. No, we want it on a day of the week where we don't have to work.
Speaker 2:I like it. How do we feel about June 3rd for a four-day weekend?
Speaker 1:I think we should go back.
Speaker 2:Or July 3rd, sorry July 3rd, just randomly, right Right before.
Speaker 1:July 4th, we did something like this. It should be a day that like, uh, something big happened on the podcast, which I think maybe would be the first time we talked about cadbury eggs and candy corn, I believe I don't know, I would put it around halloween before halloween so maybe in october yeah, I, I would love someone to go back through the episodes and figure out the first episode that we talked about candy corn and and cadbury egg, and to me that's the because october first boost appreciation day I mean it could be actually it could I don't know it as soon as they're released.
Speaker 2:I don't even know when they get released in stores, but as soon as I see them, that's it could be august for all we know. I could about to be in candy corn soon I hate to.
Speaker 1:I hate to admit this, but remember, right before um easter was over, I bought like 24 cadbury eggs or whatever it was yeah, he did, I still have some.
Speaker 2:I'm still going through them I think that's good, because they're disgusting.
Speaker 1:You should savor them and they're not coming out again until next year.
Speaker 2:So wait I need to look up my custom headphone covers before it's too late I probably shouldn't show this because I'm going to show it during the podcast episode.
Speaker 1:We're in the studio, but I'm going to anyway, hold on.
Speaker 2:He's going to do it. I got to make a note to myself to look for those again.
Speaker 1:You know you'll see this when we're in the studio, but this was done for us by Haley Studios. I got the shirt made.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, it's not going. Daily Studios I got the shirt made. Oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, it's not going. Well, can you see it? Kind of it's a preview. It's a preview.
Speaker 1:It's a preview. Yeah, you're not supposed to see it all anyway, it's a sneak preview. I'll be wearing that shirt in the studio. I'm excited about that. The Candy Core headphones has caught the imagination of many, although I think the Cadbury headphones I would love that.
Speaker 2:I don't know how they would actually do it. I wish I was crafty enough it can't be that hard.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:This is like plastic, Like this is.
Speaker 1:I bet a Cricut or a 3D printer could do it.
Speaker 2:I don't think a Cricut could do it, because it doesn't really handle.
Speaker 1:Like, this is like hold on, let me oh, asmr, you know, rob could do this for you rob could do it actually I just thought of that I'm like who do we know with a 3d? Printer and he loves printing stuff oh my gosh, I'm like rob, make me candy corn covers it would cost a million dollars to ship it to you, but it would be worth it, because you'd be the only one that has them.
Speaker 2:Interesting, I'll have to inquire.
Speaker 1:You should inquire to him. You'd probably have to design it. You could get the template online and then you would just design it. Just put the candy corn on it, or whatever.
Speaker 2:I just trace this on notebook paper and send it to Rob. Well, wait a minute.
Speaker 1:Actually, even better Are those magnetic and send it to Rob. Well, wait a minute. Actually, even better, Even better Wait. Are those magnetic, the ones you're using right now? Are they magnetic?
Speaker 2:No, no, they're not magnetic, oh, they just stick on. Oh, okay, yeah, they just form on.
Speaker 1:Oh, I was going to say, then you just get a sticker, because you can just put a sticker on them, yeah, but they wouldn't look be the better move.
Speaker 2:They would just be striped, which I mean. If that's the route I have to go, then no, I think you could get it.
Speaker 1:I will, but I, by the way, then.
Speaker 2:I would look like maybe a little elf too.
Speaker 1:By the way, there are websites where you can order 3D printed stuff and they'll print it and send it to you.
Speaker 2:I'm going to look into it. Yes, the only one that has this need.
Speaker 1:You're kind of obsessed because you've been talking about it for weeks now, which I think is amazing. I love it Well.
Speaker 2:I've had these headphone covers for so long and I'm like I need to move on to like a fresh design something else. Seasonal. I just changed them. I need to start a collection.
Speaker 1:Well, anyway, listen. I hope that you've enjoyed what we talked a lot about nothing for a long portion of this podcast, but you know what? That's why you love us. Broke down the script tool and that was crazy. I'm gonna run a current script I have through it and see what it's so good, jen, jen, it's so good. And again with it. Yet I, I, I'm almost obsessed with it, it's. I've done a couple of uh videos not almost, travis.
Speaker 2:Okay, look, not almost.
Speaker 1:All right, this has been several weeks now it's one of the one of the tools we've come out with over the last couple years. That is probably one of my favorite ones, which is saying something. I like that.
Speaker 2:We should all do like a you know when they do like a company video where it's like meet Jen and it's like our favorite tool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, actually not a bad idea, it's like meet Travis.
Speaker 2:He's obsessed with the script writer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he doesn't even like scripts, it's true, it's very true, I like it. So, anyway, if you are interested in that, there's a link in the description below, and all the other things in the show notes. Having said all that, we thank you so much for joining us and we can't tell you how much we appreciate the messages, the emails, the text messages, the comments on the YouTube video. We enjoy it very, very much. Jen and I are going back in the studio so we'll have a whole bunch of those episodes, super excited for that. And, of course, like I said, if you want to send us a script using our script what is it? App, I guess send it to theboostvideoqcom and we'll go through the best ones.
Speaker 2:Should we throw back an old little segment?
Speaker 1:What do you mean? What do you mean? What have you watched on youtube this last week? Oh, yes, well, let's, let's do that. I'll tell you it's, and I'll tell you what mine are. But it's more. It's more of a series, more than just a video okay, wait, my answer is the same what is it?
Speaker 2:what are you watching?
Speaker 1:well, so I've been.
Speaker 2:Look, here's the thing if it's the same, it's not, there's no way I'm signing off, so fast it's impossible to be, so there's literally zero.
Speaker 1:Okay, go ahead, tell me what it is it is a british tv show now, um, this happens from time to time. Youtube will recommend something that I'm mildly interested in and then you know, you get the rabbit hole for weeks, right? You're just watching all the things yeah so this one, this this show, is uh called uh nightmare tenants, slum landlords, and uh I've been watching this last week, what?
Speaker 2:this is what I've been watching jen, stop it.
Speaker 1:See she's trying to. I'm like come on, jen, come on, she's over here for a half a second. She, she caught me. I'm like wait, no, no, no, no, no. I would know that you were telling the truth if you literally like shut down, because you'd be like like yeah, oh, darn I know what your real reaction would be, so that's why you didn't trick me all right. So what are you watching?
Speaker 2:okay, wait, but elaborate on your, your. What was it?
Speaker 1:landlords yeah, so it's um nightmare. Tenants, slum landlords uh, the vast majority of the episodes are landlords trying to kick people out of their house for um, for non-payment, and for um uh, squatting, and it's terrible. I feel like I feel so strongly about this, like how can you own a property that you rent to someone they don't pay you and it costs you thousands of dollars and months to get them out? You're stealing from them. How can you steal my car and I can get you arrested, but you can steal my house and I can't do nothing but kick you out and it costs me money. How is that a thing?
Speaker 2:That's absolutely insane. So it's wild to see these interactions what they have to go through yeah, and then the interaction like how much does it really like you have so much strength as a person to be like I'm not leaving?
Speaker 1:bro, some of these people are so self-righteous it's wild. Like you haven't paid rent in 16 months. What do you mean?
Speaker 2:you don't and they're just like, straight up, like so yeah, they're like.
Speaker 1:Well, just give me as soon as the bailiffs come. Sure, then I'll leave Like brother, are you serious? And then they go in the house and it's trashed every time, just trashed, just destroyed every time.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, I'm actually going to need links. I definitely want to watch this.
Speaker 1:I'm literally in the middle of watching an episode right before we started here I'll even share my screen. Look my god, I'm gonna show you right now. Let's share, share screen again. You gotta be watching on youtube to see what it's going on here. So this episode? Uh, it probably yeah. So I was watching this.
Speaker 1:And then there's like the property inspectors and you can see like it's so funny and this lady, poor lady, was trying to get the get these people kicked out and she they won't leave, they haven't paid for. Like, what a cute little house. Look at that With all the crap. The guy just left everything outside. It's just, it's terrible, man.
Speaker 2:People are nuts.
Speaker 1:It's a great show to watch.
Speaker 2:So it's kind of upsetting that makes the best TV.
Speaker 1:What are you watching?
Speaker 2:I've been watching Ryan Trahan's series. His 50 States in 50 Days, raising a million dollars for St Jude's oh, that's so cool. It is such a crazy good series. I have loved all of Ryan Trahan series and his normal content. I kind of fall off for it's a little bit young for me most of the time, or at least it kind of turned very young and then back into this series is like I felt like we just got the Ryan Trahan we've always loved and he has his wife with him, which I watch her channel regularly, and it is literally so crazy. The amount of money and the people donating. It is just mind-blowing.
Speaker 1:That's so cool yeah.
Speaker 2:So it's out every single day. So I've been watching it daily and, yeah, it's so crazy day. So I've been watching it, wow, daily and, yeah, it's so crazy. I think, from a youtube perspective, like it is nuts to think of the planning that actually went into this series and I feel like the behind the scenes that we know would exist but a viewer would not know exists, yeah, and it's like really fun to like pick apart and be skeptics at what actually was planned and stuff, but it is just so good. Highly recommend it.
Speaker 1:Amazing. Well, let us know what you guys and gals are watching out there in YouTuber-y land. We'd love to hear that. But that's it for us. So we'll be around eventually. I don't know we're going to come back. Maybe we'll come back for the boost day. We'll be around eventually. I don't know we're going to come back. Maybe we'll come back for the boost day.
Speaker 2:We'll come back for Next year on May 1st.
Speaker 1:We're taking off about seven months. We'll see you guys in like seven months or something. No, we'll be back much sooner than that. Thank you for joining us. We'll see you in the next one.
