what are you watching on youtube?

[Derka 5968]

my algorithm tonight has sent me down a rabbit hole of videos of youtubers covering those “hook up artist” guys, and this shit is downright hard to watch…except that i can’t stop.

 

 

i’ll also say that in 2024 youtube has become for me what netflix was years ago- by far my number one used streaming service. there’s just endless content on endless subjects. it’s become my go-to for when i want to find something to watch that i’ve never seen before.

gus johnson is someone i’ve found who cracks me up. maybe it’s because he’s like my midwestern cousin, just out here recording goofy shit with his mom, but i like his inane, super low production videos.

By far my favorite thing on YouTube. Colin from Below Deck bought a hurricane damaged catamaran, salvaged it and headed off around the world. They are currently in Fiji.

Before I answer you have to tell me if you’re a cop.

This video sent me on a rabbit hole of clips of the British show 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, hosted by Jimmy Carr. It’s a gameshow based on jumble style word puzzles and rapid math problems, but this version is all comedians. It’s hilarious (and Rachel is awesome):

I've been watching American Revolution stuff - I love her chest accent and demeanor

 

And I always watch every Time Team episode and video - this is their monthly news video, but each project is 2-3 hours or more over multiple videos

YT’s algo is excellent.  Pushes me stuff I actually like.  And if there are political dumkopf’s on there, it does not force them on me.

He keeps his politics in check enough for me:

Total gun nerd here:

He has several channels:

From there the algo takes over and gives me similar good stuff.  And lately it’s been pushing vids of surly donkeys (clean, wholesome stuff.)

I love his channel and have posted it before, and holy shit there’s a reasons some of those are forgotten.  @Armybrat has probably seen some of that stuff.

[Armybrat 40751]

Nope,never heard of it.

I was today years old when I learned Colombia had M1 Garands rechambered in .308.  12 of them.  Can’t believe I went this long not knowing that.

[Underdog 28459]

Have playing on a loop... 

 

Find myself watching a lot of videos on street food vendors from other countries, skills they show are impressive, imo.

That's why @Armybrat needs to watch the show, I feel like he would know that for some reason.

I tried watching it, but all of my years of camping with my kids makes me think of how much of a nightmare that would be to dry that tent out.

[Armybrat 40751]

No, I didn’t know about those Garands being converted.

As an army brat, the only weapons I got to handle were a 1911, an M1A Carbine, and an M3 Grease Gun. 
While with my Dad & brothers at a small post range in Puerto Rico 70 years ago, I got to shoot the first two after his sergeant gave us some basic instruction. Hated the .45 because of the recoil in my 10 year old hands, but the carbine was fun. We were only allowed to handle the M3..

Gus is the best. He also does Twitch streams where he plays games and opens pokemon cards.

Chudd’s BBQ is an excellent BBQ channel and he’s in Austin. This dude makes everything from scratch. Also fabricates pits and other gear.

https://youtube.com/@chudsbbq?si=Nb--Y2TcM4tbQSkm
 

Also stumbled across Harry Mack. He’s a freestyle rapper. Even if rap is not your cup of tea he’s insanely talented. Give this video a watch to see what he does.

Friend has one.  Not that uncommon.  Come with a conversion kit to swap back and forth between .308 and 30-06.  Hell, I've seen one chambered in .458 Win Magnum.

Back in the day, gunsmiths were artisans.  Each product was unique.  Cool if you are a collector.  Not cool if you are on the battlefield and need spare parts.  This was the genius of Colt

jeff teague currently has my favorite podcast going, and that includes mssp. even if you don’t like basketball you can appreciate his hilarious and raw storytelling about all kinds of shit that goes on on the court and behind the scenes in the nba. hilarious guy.

 

[Rimbo 25795]

• Rick Beato. There's a whole thread elsewhere dedicated to his channel, and deservedly so. He gets guests nobody else has been able to interview, and asks intelligent questions that nobody else asks.
• Kitboga. Scamming the scammers for fun and profit.
• Map Men Map Men Map Map Map Men Men -- Geography that is funny.
• There I ruined it -- Ruining your favorite hits
• PBS SpaceTime -- learning about Physics
• 66Samus -- stupidly talented metal drummer

among others

[Derka 5968]

yeah rick beato’a channel is awesome.

[Derka 5968]

also i had not heard of that geography channel, thank you for that.

My son introduced me to it. A fun game to play is to notice the gags they sneak in. Like in today's video, when they demonstrate how to play Geoguessr, quietly showing very obviously wrong answers. Or whenever there's something written in a notebook, on screen for a split second, and you see a ton of hilarious messages in there.

I've been watching Jenny Nicholson for 10 years. Her last video really blew up.

 

I find her review of movies more entertaining than the actual movie.

 

[ztejas 43269]

The raw room guys are great. This short of two of them watching grown men play in a tackle football league is hysterical.

The original clip that got me into them.

 

 

[Derka 5968]

if you’re interested in boots-on-the-ground reporting on all kinds of different people/groups/stories you should give this channel a try:

One of the YouTube/Google Play free channels is called the "Family Affair Channel" constantly running a show called, you guessed it, Frank Stallone, Family Affair.

I'll save you the trouble: There are no attractive step-mothers or step-daughters. There are no broken dishwashers or clothes dryers or deep and narrow kitchen cabinets to get stuck in.

It's just a cheesy/sappy 1960s sitcom with Brian Keith having to suddenly adopt his nieces and nephews.

[kevwun 15672]

We've  been watching Taskmaster.  It's a British show where a group of comedians are given funny tasks to complete for points.  Each season is around 8 episodes and the comedian with the most points wins.  It's very funny and there are a bunch of seasons, all of which are on YouTube.

[Buzzrock 14877]

If you like car builds and bare midriffs and car builds, I really like Sarah-n-Tuned. She’s a total nerd and very handy not to mention a tall drink of water. I really like her quirky personality and she does some cool builds and reviews.
