I can't even argue with this. Whenever a lot of time has passed, I feel the need to address it, but when there's always a lot of time passing between videos, then I'm just addressing it in every video. I'm annoying myself with it.
@@joescott-tmi eh, don't worry about it too much. I'm always excited to see any new content from you. Genuine thanks for all the content you release. I know on some level it is your job, but I really enjoy your content and consider you one of my very very favorite content creators. Thanks Joe!
You're pretty much describing my entire existence. "Oh, shit. I forgot I was doing this. Here's those socks I was knitting/painting I was working on/wool I was spinning until this thing happened and eclipsed all of it." Just know I'm here for you even if there's long quiet periods.
Real talk... the way you express your opinions is a lot more constructive than your average internet opinion. The fact that you seem to naturally question the validity of your opinion - and are aware that you may be wrong - says a lot about how you think. If more people could see you be self aware while sharing how you view the world, perhaps it would be a small step in the right direction for this planet we all share!
@joescot-tmi Thats exactly what i wanted to say. Please we need more voice like you in the public discourse. People who are approaching things with an open mind, good faith, logical approach. The world is only getting more polarized and divided, so if anything now more than ever we need people like you to keep doing your work! I got this idea from Vlad Vexler, an amazing UA-camr, if you havent watched, amazing polical commentary, and other things. He talks about how Twitter nowadays is only getring worse, but thats why he feels devotdd to stay there. Bevause its such a massive audience you can influence, and if its gatting worse, all the more reason we need more productive and thoughtful thinkers/commentators.
IMO, and my experience, it’s been good to get an idea of his opinions because they cause me to rethink my prejudices about people from Texas (although I think he’s from Austin, but still).
@@joescott-tmi You invite everyone to share their opinion/react on what you just presented - that is very different from shouting down every opposition. Your impulse to become quieter - not contribute to that is exactly why we need you (the person who doesn't want to be king gets the crown 😜). I don't use other social media apart from UA-cam, so I don't know how these platforms react to you - but I really enjoy reading the comment section of both of your channels. The community here seems to reflect your behavior - offering their opinion even if they disagree in a mindful manner. I changed my mind several times because of a comment here (or on the main channel) 💚. For me this is a space in the internet like nerdfighteria. I feel at home here. Don't give up on it please. We have to create the world we want to live in
Yesss. I just understood why I like Joes content so much. If Joe wants to expand on the things, we apreachiate about this channel: Of course the humor, but the sketch-intros are rare as they have to be. This kind of intro can not really be forced on every subject, so they better stay precious rare, and on spot, as they are. But the general mindset of openness, honestly reflecting on the possibility of being ignorant, down to earth in a kind of way, is the thing wich keeps me coming back. Btw., Vlad Vexler and Joe are in very different ways examles of that attitude, there could be a really good converasation about ethics of communication to be had, if Joe is interested and Vlads health allows for it.
I know it was mostly a side note but holy lord I'm glad someone with a platform said the hair thing! I had to wait 24 years to grow out my hair at all. I had a "flat top" for the first 15 years of my life and didn't go long until recently. LET YOUR SONS GROW THEIR HAIR OUT
my brother didn't get to grow his hair out until he went full rebel against everything my dad tried to make us into. so when his son wanted a mohawk at 4, my brother was like yeah sure lets try it. now his son is 10 and wanted to grow his hair out, and my brother's teaching him how to take proper care of it longer, and looking up nice cuts for longer hair, and just letting him experiment and feel out what he actually wants. and I think thats so important. your kids are learning about who they are. the ideas you put into a person who has long hair is not what your kid is thinking. cause your kid hasn't learned those biases. they're just figuring out what they like. and that goes with everything. clothes, toys, hobbies. its important to let kids learn who they are and about themselves.
I think this is my first ever comment on a UA-cam channel! Probably my last one too. I love your main channel and I found this one just today, slightly before this video was posted. I like hearing your opinions, and I will voluntarily continue to do so for as long as you wish to send them out into the universe. They are refreshing. 😊 I appreciate your authenticity and your brain!
The fact that you second guess whether or not you should share your opinions means you're actually thinking about what your opinions actually are. That's what we need more of. It's also why I deleted Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (I'm not calling it X because that's a stupid name. Yes, that's my opinion.) You, and your team, are doing great work!
I don't get the chance to watch your videos as much as I used to, but you are probably one of my favorite UA-camrs. Even though there are other channels I probably watch more; you just seem like such a great guy, and I've been watching since the future was still ludicrous. So, thanks for being awesome, and have a great rest of the year!
I have noticed an uptick in production values on the main channel. Good work to all! It must be hard to grow a channel organically if you have never grown an organization before. Finding the right people and getting a good hierarchy and work flow is very difficult. And while I do appreciate the content on the main channel; I really like this more laid back channel when you just talk to us as well. I think the channels compliment each other very well. I'd like to see you do a Q & A of subs questions and the film critic idea is good as well. But seriously, just sitting down with a us for a chat is fine, too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family and crew.
Rest assured: we all still care about this show; and you're OK too (sarcasm). A lot of us are in some way in the same boat as you, life-wise. Whenever you can give us some more compelling videos as you regularly do, we'll appreciate it.
Good on taking care of the pre-C lesions. I did 5-FU a few years ago, and of course, other people see me a lot more than I see myself, so I went to a restaurant one day, and a boy about 3-4 pointed at me as the family walked in and said, "Look, Mom, a monster man!" I hope he wasn't scarred for life from that. It lasts only a few weeks and you feel so much better about having that stuff gone. And go to a dermatologist every year or so. Mine found a melanoma and removed it, now I get the overall inspection twice a year, no recurrence in several years, so things are going well. Good luck!
Ok Joe, here’s the deal. As far as I’m concerned whatever content type you put out is informative and entertaining. So quit worrying about making a certain type of video. Do all sorts. You rock, been watching for many years. My wife knows you as “the face guy” and lmfao as soon as I wrote this you talked about it. She doesn’t follow but watches with me sometimes and the first time she watched was when you were dealing with your skin. Legend.
I use Notion to help me with my ADHD and my vast list of various obsessions. I used to use it when I was Operations Manager for an entrepreneur also but it's so flexible you can really use it for just about anything. So glad this channel is still around, though honestly I don't pay much attention to which channel is which when I watch your content... Also an ADHD thing, I think. lol So just... keep it up and I'll keep watching whatever and wherever it is. 😆
KIP.... Keep It Personal. Personally I enjoy film, so your idea of discussing movies that you love or hate is nice. That said, keeping this personal, mixing it up, and discussing whatever you want sounds great to me!
I am interested in the behind the scenes logistics! Dunno if I'm alone in that 🤷♀️ I run a small creative business, and have also experienced the exact situation of becoming the bottleneck because too much is on me. It's hard to sort what can be peeled off, and how to structure a process. I'm actively working on a revamp of our workflows on Trello while listening to this! So . . . I hear you. 🤪
Your opinion is worth something because you don't like the idea of spreading them out there too much. The self-doubt is a very necessary part of the self-improvement loop, because it means you're being at least mildly self-reflective. Take the time you need, we appreciate you and I appreciate your openness in particular. Thank you for this and your general output. You are a valuable and, dare I say, necessary part of our common/collective human experience. ❤
I definitely noticed the quality increase in the main channel, I appreciate all the work that goes into it! I'm also thinking about growing my hair, but my hairline and age make me question it. You are pulling it off nicely though, I may give it a try
Just hearing you talk about butt stuff with your trainer makes this channel worth everything. This is the best para-social conversation I've had in a long time.
I’m so happy TMI is back! I’d like to see whatever sorts of things you’d like to do because you’re usually entertaining, but it’s the behind the scenes UA-camr stuff I crave the most
I think this channel would actually be perfect to go into a break down of what it takes to get your “business” / channel and the challenges of what it take to get everything running smoothly and efficiently like the challenges of communication and delegating different tasks to make everything run smoothly. I would say a conversation about what it takes and how hard it is to do everything you do as someone pretty much running your own company is something worth talking about because it’s a problem that is facing a lot of people. Just talking about the challenges you faced going through all of it and tips on how you manage it and what lessons you have learned I think it would be cool. Your thoughts are worth something as long as your honest about it and not pushing things but your channel has always been great about being in the middle of topics and not just pushing your opinions and just good about makings people think about how they should frame the way they see a topic. Keep up the great content 👍👏👌🤘
I just discovered this channel and news that you are still doing the TMI channel is still in existence. This is my second time watching....I like it. Puts the main channel in perspective.....for the record I find your clone scenes hilarious....G
I discovered your channel about 5 years ago, and haven't missed a video since. I don't always get a chance to watch them when they drop, but I always get to them. I find your opinions to be based in reality and seem to always have facts to back them up... It's one of the things I admire about you. Regarding this channel, I really enjoy the extra content you share about your main channel videos AND your random/unrelated content. I trust in your creative process and will continue to watch your content!
FWIW, I think that if you're an intelligent, humane and self-questioning person like yourself, then you're precisely the sort who should be sharing their (caveat-laden) opinions. We need more of those type!
But a fedora. You'll never regret it. I now own two. The old one for yard work, the new one for when I have to look presentable, but I'm about to get a third one to only use for special occasions. Greatest thing ever. Indiana Jones had the right idea.
This was interesting. I love the main channel, but getting a glimpse behind the curtain is cool. This is the first video I've seen here. Not sure of the premise of it yet - I'll check out more after this one.
This is one of my favorite channels. I lost my Google account last week so I had to start over with everything fresh. Your channel was one of the first I remembered to add back. You and the Weird Explorer.
I love workflow optimization, project management, and organization, if you did talk more about your process on how you improved and learned over the past year, I'd definitely watch. Good job on growing, often the hardest part in the process is realizing change needs to be made. Good luck in the next year. :)
As far as opinions go I think your take on things is level headed and honest, it's refreshing after flipping through most other channels crap so feel free to share it as often you feel the need.
It's been a weekly routine of mine to wait for a watch a new Answers with Joe video for about 6 years now. If there isn't a video on Monday then it feels like my week isn't complete. Keep up the amazing work.
JOE! The simple fact that you question the value of your contribution before “spouting” makes your opinions’ weight and impact that much more important. Like a glove in a pile of used needles, give some hope of stumbling into safety. Thank you for 10+ years of consistently thoughtful science communication that has a palatable upbeat mood with some dark humor slipped in!
Holy crap, watching this at a conference flexing my ass trying to figure out the butt stuff.. So professional 😂😂😂... All joking aside, I am actually interested in the kinesthetics of what you were talking about but I'm sure a "posture" video would be a banger. These things become more important once there is a 5 in front of your age 😂 Appreciate everything you do Joe, been watching for many of the 10 years and your content has always been exceptional and I've learned a ton. You rock man!
I really love this kind of video, where there's just you and the microphone, I can sit here watch you talking about anything for hours 👍🏼 I'm okay with you giving us your opinion about stuff, and maybe even reviews about the movies that you like, I couldn't get enough recommendations about movies! movies, books, anything 😂 I really glad I found your channel, your channel is definitely one of my favs on UA-cam. Here for the 2024! and Happy Holidays, Joe! 🙌🏼
i will say, as much as i like the lightning round videos, it seems like its almost 50/50 with lightning rounds lately? and i do find myself missing your regular videos. but you've got a fan for life here. my brother and nephew also watch your videos. Also... there was definitly a point in my life, about 5 years ago, where you were one of the only people who said "I love you" to me, and it meant a lot. like, the fact that you said "I love you guys" in most of your videos helped keep me going, and that meant a lot.
Yep. That was TMI as times. Will be following both channels :) I've never dropped off a channel due to not posting enough. It's mostly when a channel puts out too much stuff I don't care about. And you're just fun to listen to.
I feel the exact same way about my opinions, and i dont even have an audience listening to them, so i can't imagine how you feel. That being said, there's something about the way you approach both creative /and/ more personal content and conversation that is really refreshing and comforting and personable.
Have been watching your videos for a very long time and I can’t say that you are,and have always been, a fresh take on all things that many others have grown stale on. Please continue doing your channel and a very Merry Christmas to you, your family and your staff
I never thought I’d be interested in the behind the scenes stuff yet here I am. We’re here for you because there’s a genuineness & honesty in you that speaks to us. For me, the vulnerability you share is huge. It makes you real and these days that’s extremely rare. Hugs Mr Scott & thank you
As many have pointed out already, you second-guessing your opinions is what more people need to do and why they are valuable. Also, I like the idea of you making videos about film criticism on this channel. That's something different and leans into your film background. So go for it!
Joe, everybody who does this sort of thing worries constantly about it ; the content, reactions to the content, and especially the growth of the viewership, down to the littlest detail until you spend your time looking at the world through a microscope, and that is no way to live your life. I look forward to every one of your releases. I watch the same day they're releaed because I look forward to them so much. This is a fantastic show, you present yourself wonderfully, you're funny and personable, very relatable and this is my favorite channel of this type, by far. Don't worry so much. Forget the need for constant growth, that constant worry, the thinking of a plausible excuse when the subscription rate goes flat, or, god forbid, not finding an excuse for it, and rest assured that there are many, many people who feel just like I do about you and this channel. I like to think I'm unique and maybe I am to some extent, but in many ways I'm one of the herd, plodding along doing just what the rest of my herd is doing. I've seen hard evidence of this so I know it's true. So I'm a boring sheeple and I, we, think you're just wonderful! Look, an exclamation point. Now I'm out of them for the rest of the week. I spent my last one on you. Chin up, the other kids like you and you'll make lots of friends. And your Father and I love you very much...Well, you know what I mean. Don't worry so much, appreciate what you do, what you have done and all you have accomplished and all you can look forward to accomplishing. That is all.
Your hair isn't long enough. Join the long hair club! Let it flow! I grew up hating my short curly hair. Soon as I turned 18 I let it grow, and immediately fell in love with it. It got more than 2 feet long before I had to shave for a job. I've hated every haircut I've had since.
I just come here to hear you. I enjoy the snark and your delivery. As long as that continues, I don’t care about the pivot. Just keep doing quality stuff, like you always have.
Just a side note about the Earth with Rings video- I have to admit that 90% of my YouTubing is something I play in the background while cleaning, and I’ll stop to look at the screen if it’s obvious something cool is happening visually. I sat my rear down and watched that whole thing on the big TV with my wife. 10/10 video.
There are very few people even in my life that I have been listening to for 10 years. Congrats on such a great milestone and thanks for all the years of great content!
Well.... it is nice to feel like we can Identify with you. I mean, through your natural opinions, that is. I just subbed with all notifications after all these years. Yeah, you're cool enough to hang with for a half hour. Hey, I got a UA-cam channel about music and guitar... gotta be thousands of those. Still, when on camera, I'm just ... ummm me! I greatly benefit from seeing you on both channels, or any channel. Oh, I play small too. Sincere thanks, 70 year old Sam Hatman
I'm so glad you mentioned your hair. My wife dislikes the straggly hair and darkness of the new set to the point where she no longer wants to watch your videos with me. It's not the set design, it's that the light levels. The old set made your videos feel bright, fun, and quirky but the new set is a little gloomy. As for the hair that's really your call. If it makes you happy that's the most important thing. I agree about the set. The hair isn't my favorite, but it's also not the end of the world. You do you!
Movies with Joe. I like it. I mean, I'd watch it. You have good humor and I could see that working. Live Streams timed with your weekly video debuts (and a chat) might help build additional community.
I always had short back & sides growing up but lockdown prompted a grow out that I've kept on; loving it so far. My son's followed suit... his mane is so much better 😅
You have existential dread. That's relatable. However, existential dread for the sake of it without reasoning is going to claw at you, and, it's going to claw at us. If you need to talk it out more than in your main channel vids, we'll all be here for it dude.
Really would love to see you be able to do some more long format deep dive documentaries or docu series like the medical/ life series thing you did awhile back, especially given your film background.
You are a very smart content creator. I am a performing musician and music teacher, now 60 years old. The aging process is part of life but we worried too much about this specially facing a camera. So creative ideas are there and here, opinions in a decent way is necesary to have a succesful career, dont feel hurt by critics and follow your instincts based on values. Have a Merry Christmas and thank you for your channel.
I way more love this channel than your main channel. Also “nobody would find it interesting”, you know there’s popular channels of people just eating chips at their desk.
All I can say, Joe, is... Keep the awesome work. I'm not saying to never change or never try new stuff... Just keep being yourself and making the great content you - and your team, of course - make. That's all. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!
I'm glad you're still doing this channel. I thought you would be using this to do a deeper die on the main channel videos, adding info or extra facts that didn't make the main cut. As per opinions - there are lots of them out there, however, qualified opinions are key. If you've researched a subject for a vid, then you are qualified to offer your opinion on it. As a viewer of your videos, I am qualified to offer my opinion.
You could always put more behind the scenes stuff here. Bloopers, cut skits, or funny ideas you couldn't work into a main channel video. All while keeping this channel alive for the occasional heart to viewer chat or freeform content.
There is a difference between spewing opinions and saying something that is thought provoking. Over the years you have brought information forward that was thought provoking. When your audience has the opportunity to think instead of being spoon fed someone else’s beliefs, then we have something. (Just my opinion, LOL 😂)
This reminds me of the time I had two jobs at the same time. For 2 weeks I was ending one job while starting another but they did overlap for 2 weeks. Every once in awhile I still dream about it to this day like "oh my god did I forget to go in?" And it's been 23 years now.
Now I want sachet videos. 😂 I’ve noticed that I tend to sachet down the stairs. But that’s because my hips are jacked up and I’m subconsciously trying to reduce the impact. For what it’s worth I never expect a content creator to be consistent. I’m sure the algorithm encourages it but I really don’t think that you should worry about it at all for TMI. Just go with what naturally happens, is my two cents.
i kinda liked this long video on whats going on with your channel, health, thoughts and just stuff in general. maybe while your trying to figure out the big projects or the logistics of the channel you can upload here like twice a year lol
I had to stop at 6:28 and say: boy, do I feel ya. My company is transitioning to a new suite of business applications from CRM to Helpdesk to phones, to ad campaigns and more. Wow. It's a lot. Especially for a small team who are already crazy busy.
Wait a second... i ran into you and politely interupted your conversation to say hi at that mixer at Vidsummit. Were you thinking about your butt while we were chatting? I'm ok with that... I was thinking about mine too. Just offering my emotional support. Also FYI on my 3rd mid-life crisis and going strong. You're good to go. Love your work Joe, keep it up. You and your team deserve a big pat on the back for your work.
Also, I sent you a Snapchat of some moldy salsa with a funny caption in 2017 and knowing I made you laugh was actually the highlight of my month at the time lmao
I'm happy to know that its not just my home office that ends up with cables and piles of organized things collecting over long periods of time. Best of intentions, but just not enough time in the day. Maybe AGI will invent a way to stretch time out to 28 hours a day or 8 days a week or something. Or maybe it will just make us all unemployed so we finally have free time to do cable management.
Please don’t change the main channel too much! Whatever you do will be great though. I love the random interest topics, but I think my favorite part of the channel will always be you. Love your take on things and how genuine you seem. You said “The world has enough opinions” and in general I agree, but I would say, the world has enough mediocre opinions. We’re here because we think your opinions are worth hearing, whether you do or not. lol. Keep up the good work! We appreciate you ❤.
In terms of what I'd like to see on this channel, the idea about responding to comments or answering questions is my preference. I'm here because I like how you present information. Your writing/speaking style, humor and to a degree opinions too! And I feel like I might be an outlier, but I don't care too much about higher quality videos. Having the props for the wheel signature thing or rope language was okay, but I found the actual information better. I didn't think it added that much that you did a demo with the signature wheel. What I liked about that video was that this was an item I had never known about before and I was fun learning the history around it. Would definitely like more skits though! Even ones not connected to a video. Same here though, my favorite skit was the math/maths one, I found it hilarious. I assume it pretty low budget but prefer it over other more 'fancy ones'. Ryan George is an example, he does some hilarious stuff which is just him with comically bad costumes in front of a green screen
It’s not just your opinions Joe it’s the way that you present them. It’s not just the facts, it’s the way you present the facts, as you understand them. AND you take the time to let us know you don’t have all the answers. But it’s your presentation, your own style, that keeps me here. That’s at least what I’m here for. I think I got into you around 2019 or 2020, and I’m here for the long haul, buddy, because I like the way YOU do this. Everyone has their own opinion, but the problem is also that at some point you realize they’re only so many opinions and everybody starts to repeat everybody else, and it gets boring. So at some point it’s really, ONLY, down to style. And I dig yours.
I love the increase in production quality, and I am really happy to see the great direction the channel is taking, but good god the Ken Burns effect being used on a talking human makes me dizzy.
I’d really enjoy a video of you talking about the under the hood stuff on this channel. Don’t know if other people think the same but count me as a +1, love the podcast episode of you and mr matt talking shop
Your opinion is always welcome. Also if you've never taken a higs personally test, it would be interesting to see you take one. Maybe a pole on who is here on TMI
Glad you’re still posting a stream of consciousness on this channel, although a movie review with Joe would be entertaining. Maybe call it Popcorn with Joe. Also I was curious if you have gotten any feedback about the music on your more recent videos, I like the idea but find it kind of distracting from the actual content. Keep trying new things though, I love your channels.
What I'd like to see.... The Angry Astronaut meets Lex Fridman. Quantum physics meets Sadhguru from the viewpoint of an alien observer. The wisdom of Muhammad Ali meets Michio Kaku. You get the drift. You are funny and witty and have a sense of good visuals. Keep that stuff up.
Hi Joe, your content is very insightful and it helps to spark curiosity every time I encounter a new concept. But it's not only that but the focus and the narrative behind that construct an objective opinion, leaving room for critical thinking. Maybe you can talk about new ways of geomaterial detection & extraction that are being developed on Earth that can be used over other celestial bodies (for example gold or diamond ore in asteroids) ❤❤❤
Hey! That's the exact same professional cable management system I use! Edit: Also, your channel has had a major shift or pivot already - it was just at a glacial pace so you didn't notice. When you first started out, all your videos were about existential dread - ways the universe could mercilessly smush us. (Or ways we could smush ourselves.) At some point you must have worked that out because your subject matter has become much broader and more positive over the last two to three years (maybe even longer).
I feel like the main theme of this channel is you reminding us that this channel still exists and you put content in it
Came here to say this. 🤣
Couldn't help but laugh at this.
I can't even argue with this. Whenever a lot of time has passed, I feel the need to address it, but when there's always a lot of time passing between videos, then I'm just addressing it in every video. I'm annoying myself with it.
@@joescott-tmi eh, don't worry about it too much. I'm always excited to see any new content from you. Genuine thanks for all the content you release. I know on some level it is your job, but I really enjoy your content and consider you one of my very very favorite content creators. Thanks Joe!

I got this idea from Vlad Vexler, an amazing UA-camr, if you havent watched, amazing polical commentary, and other things. He talks about how Twitter nowadays is only getring worse, but thats why he feels devotdd to stay there. Bevause its such a massive audience you can influence, and if its gatting worse, all the more reason we need more productive and thoughtful thinkers/commentators.

I know it was mostly a side note but holy lord I'm glad someone with a platform said the hair thing! I had to wait 24 years to grow out my hair at all. I had a "flat top" for the first 15 years of my life and didn't go long until recently. LET YOUR SONS GROW THEIR HAIR OUT
my brother didn't get to grow his hair out until he went full rebel against everything my dad tried to make us into. so when his son wanted a mohawk at 4, my brother was like yeah sure lets try it. now his son is 10 and wanted to grow his hair out, and my brother's teaching him how to take proper care of it longer, and looking up nice cuts for longer hair, and just letting him experiment and feel out what he actually wants. and I think thats so important. your kids are learning about who they are. the ideas you put into a person who has long hair is not what your kid is thinking. cause your kid hasn't learned those biases. they're just figuring out what they like. and that goes with everything. clothes, toys, hobbies. its important to let kids learn who they are and about themselves.
I think this is my first ever comment on a UA-cam channel! Probably my last one too. I love your main channel and I found this one just today, slightly before this video was posted. I like hearing your opinions, and I will voluntarily continue to do so for as long as you wish to send them out into the universe. They are refreshing. 😊 I appreciate your authenticity and your brain!
Wow, thanks!
And may I say for a first time commenter, you knocked it out of the park. :)
Dang 11 years
Authenticity. BOOM!!! same reason I love the joe! Real AF . And rare AF anymore
The fact that you second guess whether or not you should share your opinions means you're actually thinking about what your opinions actually are. That's what we need more of. It's also why I deleted Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (I'm not calling it X because that's a stupid name. Yes, that's my opinion.) You, and your team, are doing great work!
Thanks!
Agreed. Allowing someone to own the letter X seems stupid.
I don't get the chance to watch your videos as much as I used to, but you are probably one of my favorite UA-camrs. Even though there are other channels I probably watch more; you just seem like such a great guy, and I've been watching since the future was still ludicrous. So, thanks for being awesome, and have a great rest of the year!
Thanks!
Hey! We're doing an OLF livestream tomorrow! Finally. :)
Sweet! Can't wait to watch.
I have noticed an uptick in production values on the main channel. Good work to all! It must be hard to grow a channel organically if you have never grown an organization before. Finding the right people and getting a good hierarchy and work flow is very difficult. And while I do appreciate the content on the main channel; I really like this more laid back channel when you just talk to us as well. I think the channels compliment each other very well. I'd like to see you do a Q & A of subs questions and the film critic idea is good as well. But seriously, just sitting down with a us for a chat is fine, too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family and crew.
Rest assured: we all still care about this show; and you're OK too (sarcasm). A lot of us are in some way in the same boat as you, life-wise. Whenever you can give us some more compelling videos as you regularly do, we'll appreciate it.
Well, that's the plan, to do more of that in the coming year.
@@joescott-tmiGood! I'm looking forward to it!!!
I’ve been watching your channel for years and love it. I never miss a show.
Thanks man!
Since 2019 here
Good on taking care of the pre-C lesions. I did 5-FU a few years ago, and of course, other people see me a lot more than I see myself, so I went to a restaurant one day, and a boy about 3-4 pointed at me as the family walked in and said, "Look, Mom, a monster man!" I hope he wasn't scarred for life from that. It lasts only a few weeks and you feel so much better about having that stuff gone. And go to a dermatologist every year or so. Mine found a melanoma and removed it, now I get the overall inspection twice a year, no recurrence in several years, so things are going well.
Good luck!
Ok Joe, here’s the deal. As far as I’m concerned whatever content type you put out is informative and entertaining. So quit worrying about making a certain type of video. Do all sorts. You rock, been watching for many years. My wife knows you as “the face guy” and lmfao as soon as I wrote this you talked about it. She doesn’t follow but watches with me sometimes and the first time she watched was when you were dealing with your skin. Legend.
I use Notion to help me with my ADHD and my vast list of various obsessions. I used to use it when I was Operations Manager for an entrepreneur also but it's so flexible you can really use it for just about anything. So glad this channel is still around, though honestly I don't pay much attention to which channel is which when I watch your content... Also an ADHD thing, I think. lol So just... keep it up and I'll keep watching whatever and wherever it is. 😆
KIP.... Keep It Personal.
Personally I enjoy film, so your idea of discussing movies that you love or hate is nice. That said, keeping this personal, mixing it up, and discussing whatever you want sounds great to me!
I agree KIP. If you find it interesting then the chance is we will too.
I do too. It's why I enjoy the Channel "Everything great about ..." so much :D
I am interested in the behind the scenes logistics! Dunno if I'm alone in that 🤷♀️
I run a small creative business, and have also experienced the exact situation of becoming the bottleneck because too much is on me. It's hard to sort what can be peeled off, and how to structure a process. I'm actively working on a revamp of our workflows on Trello while listening to this! So . . . I hear you. 🤪
Your opinion is worth something because you don't like the idea of spreading them out there too much. The self-doubt is a very necessary part of the self-improvement loop, because it means you're being at least mildly self-reflective.
Take the time you need, we appreciate you and I appreciate your openness in particular. Thank you for this and your general output. You are a valuable and, dare I say, necessary part of our common/collective human experience. ❤
I definitely noticed the quality increase in the main channel, I appreciate all the work that goes into it!
I'm also thinking about growing my hair, but my hairline and age make me question it. You are pulling it off nicely though, I may give it a try
Just hearing you talk about butt stuff with your trainer makes this channel worth everything. This is the best para-social conversation I've had in a long time.
Yes, you are fabulous! Those of us who love you shall always be here for you! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! All the best. Flex! Love and hugs.
I’m so happy TMI is back! I’d like to see whatever sorts of things you’d like to do because you’re usually entertaining, but it’s the behind the scenes UA-camr stuff I crave the most
I liked the podcasts so much, they keep me company while i go for a walk with my dog!!!
i love the podcast!!!!
I think this channel would actually be perfect to go into a break down of what it takes to get your “business” / channel and the challenges of what it take to get everything running smoothly and efficiently like the challenges of communication and delegating different tasks to make everything run smoothly.
I would say a conversation about what it takes and how hard it is to do everything you do as someone pretty much running your own company is something worth talking about because it’s a problem that is facing a lot of people.
Just talking about the challenges you faced going through all of it and tips on how you manage it and what lessons you have learned I think it would be cool.
Your thoughts are worth something as long as your honest about it and not pushing things but your channel has always been great about being in the middle of topics and not just pushing your opinions and just good about makings people think about how they should frame the way they see a topic.
Keep up the great content 👍👏👌🤘
I just discovered this channel and news that you are still doing the TMI channel is still in existence. This is my second time watching....I like it. Puts the main channel in perspective.....for the record I find your clone scenes hilarious....G
I discovered your channel about 5 years ago, and haven't missed a video since. I don't always get a chance to watch them when they drop, but I always get to them.
I find your opinions to be based in reality and seem to always have facts to back them up... It's one of the things I admire about you.
Regarding this channel, I really enjoy the extra content you share about your main channel videos AND your random/unrelated content.
I trust in your creative process and will continue to watch your content!
Joe, you're such a tease. The boring details of how you reconstructed your operation using Notion sounds wonderful.
FWIW, I think that if you're an intelligent, humane and self-questioning person like yourself, then you're precisely the sort who should be sharing their (caveat-laden) opinions. We need more of those type!
Joe, your opinions are important because you Think about your answers. Your answers are truthful. I admire you so much and I’m a 70 year old girl. ❤❤❤
But a fedora. You'll never regret it. I now own two. The old one for yard work, the new one for when I have to look presentable, but I'm about to get a third one to only use for special occasions. Greatest thing ever. Indiana Jones had the right idea.
I've missed you on this channel. You seem so relaxed and casual and more relatable on this channel. Your hair does not define you. You look great!
This was interesting. I love the main channel, but getting a glimpse behind the curtain is cool. This is the first video I've seen here. Not sure of the premise of it yet - I'll check out more after this one.
This is one of my favorite channels. I lost my Google account last week so I had to start over with everything fresh. Your channel was one of the first I remembered to add back. You and the Weird Explorer.
I love workflow optimization, project management, and organization, if you did talk more about your process on how you improved and learned over the past year, I'd definitely watch.
Good job on growing, often the hardest part in the process is realizing change needs to be made. Good luck in the next year. :)
As far as opinions go I think your take on things is level headed and honest, it's refreshing after flipping through most other channels crap so feel free to share it as often you feel the need.
It's been a weekly routine of mine to wait for a watch a new Answers with Joe video for about 6 years now. If there isn't a video on Monday then it feels like my week isn't complete. Keep up the amazing work.
JOE! The simple fact that you question the value of your contribution before “spouting” makes your opinions’ weight and impact that much more important. Like a glove in a pile of used needles, give some hope of stumbling into safety. Thank you for 10+ years of consistently thoughtful science communication that has a palatable upbeat mood with some dark humor slipped in!
Holy crap, watching this at a conference flexing my ass trying to figure out the butt stuff.. So professional 😂😂😂... All joking aside, I am actually interested in the kinesthetics of what you were talking about but I'm sure a "posture" video would be a banger. These things become more important once there is a 5 in front of your age 😂 Appreciate everything you do Joe, been watching for many of the 10 years and your content has always been exceptional and I've learned a ton. You rock man!
I really love this kind of video, where there's just you and the microphone, I can sit here watch you talking about anything for hours 👍🏼
I'm okay with you giving us your opinion about stuff, and maybe even reviews about the movies that you like, I couldn't get enough recommendations about movies! movies, books, anything 😂
I really glad I found your channel, your channel is definitely one of my favs on UA-cam. Here for the 2024! and Happy Holidays, Joe! 🙌🏼
i will say, as much as i like the lightning round videos, it seems like its almost 50/50 with lightning rounds lately? and i do find myself missing your regular videos. but you've got a fan for life here. my brother and nephew also watch your videos.
Also... there was definitly a point in my life, about 5 years ago, where you were one of the only people who said "I love you" to me, and it meant a lot. like, the fact that you said "I love you guys" in most of your videos helped keep me going, and that meant a lot.
Yep. That was TMI as times. Will be following both channels :)
I've never dropped off a channel due to not posting enough. It's mostly when a channel puts out too much stuff I don't care about. And you're just fun to listen to.
I would absolutely LOVE to see joe reviewing/ critigueing movies. Your way of talk and humour would be awesome to see. Please make some!!
I welcome and look forward to hearing your opinion. Bring it! I also appreciate hearing your internal dialogue. It’s amusing and thoughtful. 🤔 😊
I feel the exact same way about my opinions, and i dont even have an audience listening to them, so i can't imagine how you feel.
That being said, there's something about the way you approach both creative /and/ more personal content and conversation that is really refreshing and comforting and personable.
Have been watching your videos for a very long time and I can’t say that you are,and have always been, a fresh take on all things that many others have grown stale on. Please continue doing your channel and a very Merry Christmas to you, your family and your staff
I never thought I’d be interested in the behind the scenes stuff yet here I am. We’re here for you because there’s a genuineness & honesty in you that speaks to us. For me, the vulnerability you share is huge. It makes you real and these days that’s extremely rare. Hugs Mr Scott & thank you
As many have pointed out already, you second-guessing your opinions is what more people need to do and why they are valuable. Also, I like the idea of you making videos about film criticism on this channel. That's something different and leans into your film background. So go for it!
Joe, everybody who does this sort of thing worries constantly about it ; the content, reactions to the content, and especially the growth of the viewership, down to the littlest detail until you spend your time looking at the world through a microscope, and that is no way to live your life. I look forward to every one of your releases. I watch the same day they're releaed because I look forward to them so much. This is a fantastic show, you present yourself wonderfully, you're funny and personable, very relatable and this is my favorite channel of this type, by far. Don't worry so much. Forget the need for constant growth, that constant worry, the thinking of a plausible excuse when the subscription rate goes flat, or, god forbid, not finding an excuse for it, and rest assured that there are many, many people who feel just like I do about you and this channel. I like to think I'm unique and maybe I am to some extent, but in many ways I'm one of the herd, plodding along doing just what the rest of my herd is doing. I've seen hard evidence of this so I know it's true. So I'm a boring sheeple and I, we, think you're just wonderful! Look, an exclamation point. Now I'm out of them for the rest of the week. I spent my last one on you. Chin up, the other kids like you and you'll make lots of friends. And your Father and I love you very much...Well, you know what I mean. Don't worry so much, appreciate what you do, what you have done and all you have accomplished and all you can look forward to accomplishing. That is all.
Your hair isn't long enough.
Join the long hair club! Let it flow!
I grew up hating my short curly hair. Soon as I turned 18 I let it grow, and immediately fell in love with it.
It got more than 2 feet long before I had to shave for a job. I've hated every haircut I've had since.
I just come here to hear you. I enjoy the snark and your delivery. As long as that continues, I don’t care about the pivot. Just keep doing quality stuff, like you always have.
I love your skits, the macabre science stories and the lightning rounds the most, but honestly whatever you give us Joe, I appreciate 😊
Just a side note about the Earth with Rings video- I have to admit that 90% of my YouTubing is something I play in the background while cleaning, and I’ll stop to look at the screen if it’s obvious something cool is happening visually. I sat my rear down and watched that whole thing on the big TV with my wife. 10/10 video.
Don't apologize. Just say- "we're going in a new direction; we hope to see you on the other end"
There are very few people even in my life that I have been listening to for 10 years. Congrats on such a great milestone and thanks for all the years of great content!
"Pizza the Hut"....appreciate that reference! What a throw-back.
I'm glad you mentioned that the face issues were precancerous. I have something going on that could be similar, so I guess I'd better go see the doc.
Well.... it is nice to feel like we can Identify with you. I mean, through your natural opinions, that is. I just subbed with all notifications after all these years. Yeah, you're cool enough to hang with for a half hour. Hey, I got a UA-cam channel about music and guitar... gotta be thousands of those. Still, when on camera, I'm just ... ummm me! I greatly benefit from seeing you on both channels, or any channel. Oh, I play small too.
Sincere thanks, 70 year old Sam Hatman
I'm so glad you mentioned your hair. My wife dislikes the straggly hair and darkness of the new set to the point where she no longer wants to watch your videos with me. It's not the set design, it's that the light levels. The old set made your videos feel bright, fun, and quirky but the new set is a little gloomy. As for the hair that's really your call. If it makes you happy that's the most important thing. I agree about the set. The hair isn't my favorite, but it's also not the end of the world. You do you!
Movies with Joe. I like it. I mean, I'd watch it. You have good humor and I could see that working. Live Streams timed with your weekly video debuts (and a chat) might help build additional community.
I always had short back & sides growing up but lockdown prompted a grow out that I've kept on; loving it so far. My son's followed suit... his mane is so much better 😅
This is the equivalent of a Joe Scott podcast and I'm here for it! Call it "Don't Mind Joe" or something cheesy.
The backside is part of the “core”. And everything is connected to the core. You’re right to work on developing it.
But “butt stuff”…. 😂😂 that got me.
You have existential dread.
That's relatable. However, existential dread for the sake of it without reasoning is going to claw at you, and, it's going to claw at us.
If you need to talk it out more than in your main channel vids, we'll all be here for it dude.
LOL "So I do some Butt stuff with my trainer" You got me there!
I would like videos with answers from comments listed here.
Really would love to see you be able to do some more long format deep dive documentaries or docu series like the medical/ life series thing you did awhile back, especially given your film background.
You are a very smart content creator. I am a performing musician and music teacher, now 60 years old. The aging process is part of life but we worried too much about this specially facing a camera. So creative ideas are there and here, opinions in a decent way is necesary to have a succesful career, dont feel hurt by critics and follow your instincts based on values. Have a Merry Christmas and thank you for your channel.
I way more love this channel than your main channel. Also “nobody would find it interesting”, you know there’s popular channels of people just eating chips at their desk.
All I can say, Joe, is... Keep the awesome work. I'm not saying to never change or never try new stuff... Just keep being yourself and making the great content you - and your team, of course - make.
That's all. 😊
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!
I'm glad you're still doing this channel.
I thought you would be using this to do a deeper die on the main channel videos, adding info or extra facts that didn't make the main cut.
As per opinions - there are lots of them out there, however, qualified opinions are key. If you've researched a subject for a vid, then you are qualified to offer your opinion on it. As a viewer of your videos, I am qualified to offer my opinion.
You could always put more behind the scenes stuff here. Bloopers, cut skits, or funny ideas you couldn't work into a main channel video. All while keeping this channel alive for the occasional heart to viewer chat or freeform content.
Joe, buddy, this is your spaghetti channel! Through that $hit on the wall and see what sticks! Excited to hear about more skits on your primary.
There is a difference between spewing opinions and saying something that is thought provoking. Over the years you have brought information forward that was thought provoking. When your audience has the opportunity to think instead of being spoon fed someone else’s beliefs, then we have something. (Just my opinion, LOL 😂)
This reminds me of the time I had two jobs at the same time. For 2 weeks I was ending one job while starting another but they did overlap for 2 weeks. Every once in awhile I still dream about it to this day like "oh my god did I forget to go in?" And it's been 23 years now.
*ass flow*, long hair, EYUHS microphone.
I'm very happy I found this channel and enjoy all the content (especially the missing persons videos).
Now I want sachet videos. 😂
I’ve noticed that I tend to sachet down the stairs. But that’s because my hips are jacked up and I’m subconsciously trying to reduce the impact.
For what it’s worth I never expect a content creator to be consistent. I’m sure the algorithm encourages it but I really don’t think that you should worry about it at all for TMI. Just go with what naturally happens, is my two cents.
Your new production process sounds like a good vidcon panel presentation topic for other creators in the space!
Actually, really interesting buddy! I enjoyed this Joe’s take format on what you are going through. Kudos!
I honestly love the idea of you talking about the channel logistics, I find the behind the scenes of UA-cam channels so interesting!!
We love and miss you over here! Not that we don't watch the other one(s), but don't forget where you came from!
i kinda liked this long video on whats going on with your channel, health, thoughts and just stuff in general. maybe while your trying to figure out the big projects or the logistics of the channel you can upload here like twice a year lol
I had to stop at 6:28 and say: boy, do I feel ya. My company is transitioning to a new suite of business applications from CRM to Helpdesk to phones, to ad campaigns and more. Wow. It's a lot. Especially for a small team who are already crazy busy.
Wait a second... i ran into you and politely interupted your conversation to say hi at that mixer at Vidsummit. Were you thinking about your butt while we were chatting?
I'm ok with that... I was thinking about mine too. Just offering my emotional support. Also FYI on my 3rd mid-life crisis and going strong. You're good to go.
Love your work Joe, keep it up. You and your team deserve a big pat on the back for your work.
Also, I sent you a Snapchat of some moldy salsa with a funny caption in 2017 and knowing I made you laugh was actually the highlight of my month at the time lmao
I'm happy to know that its not just my home office that ends up with cables and piles of organized things collecting over long periods of time. Best of intentions, but just not enough time in the day. Maybe AGI will invent a way to stretch time out to 28 hours a day or 8 days a week or something. Or maybe it will just make us all unemployed so we finally have free time to do cable management.
Please don’t change the main channel too much! Whatever you do will be great though. I love the random interest topics, but I think my favorite part of the channel will always be you. Love your take on things and how genuine you seem.
You said “The world has enough opinions” and in general I agree, but I would say, the world has enough mediocre opinions. We’re here because we think your opinions are worth hearing, whether you do or not. lol.
Keep up the good work! We appreciate you ❤.
Always a pleasure to see a new TMI vid. And yes Joe we would like to hear your opinions!
In terms of what I'd like to see on this channel, the idea about responding to comments or answering questions is my preference. I'm here because I like how you present information. Your writing/speaking style, humor and to a degree opinions too!
And I feel like I might be an outlier, but I don't care too much about higher quality videos. Having the props for the wheel signature thing or rope language was okay, but I found the actual information better. I didn't think it added that much that you did a demo with the signature wheel. What I liked about that video was that this was an item I had never known about before and I was fun learning the history around it.
Would definitely like more skits though! Even ones not connected to a video. Same here though, my favorite skit was the math/maths one, I found it hilarious. I assume it pretty low budget but prefer it over other more 'fancy ones'. Ryan George is an example, he does some hilarious stuff which is just him with comically bad costumes in front of a green screen
Movie talk and live streaming sounds good but I think you just taking your own lead. Just keep being you. I love your spontaneity.
22:50, exactly, we need more opinions like yours out there. Thinking before you speak is in high demand nowadays
It’s not just your opinions Joe it’s the way that you present them. It’s not just the facts, it’s the way you present the facts, as you understand them. AND you take the time to let us know you don’t have all the answers. But it’s your presentation, your own style, that keeps me here. That’s at least what I’m here for.
I think I got into you around 2019 or 2020, and I’m here for the long haul, buddy, because I like the way YOU do this. Everyone has their own opinion, but the problem is also that at some point you realize they’re only so many opinions and everybody starts to repeat everybody else, and it gets boring. So at some point it’s really, ONLY, down to style.
And I dig yours.
I love the increase in production quality, and I am really happy to see the great direction the channel is taking, but good god the Ken Burns effect being used on a talking human makes me dizzy.
Joe, your videos are still great. Change/pivots aren't always needed. I feel like you're overthinking things/being too hard on yourself.
I’d really enjoy a video of you talking about the under the hood stuff on this channel. Don’t know if other people think the same but count me as a +1, love the podcast episode of you and mr matt talking shop
Your opinion is always welcome.
Also if you've never taken a higs personally test, it would be interesting to see you take one. Maybe a pole on who is here on TMI
Really enjoyed this one. Look forward to more of these, Joe!
Glad you’re still posting a stream of consciousness on this channel, although a movie review with Joe would be entertaining. Maybe call it Popcorn with Joe. Also I was curious if you have gotten any feedback about the music on your more recent videos, I like the idea but find it kind of distracting from the actual content. Keep trying new things though, I love your channels.
Good to see the channel's not dead! The discussing comments thing could be fun.
What I'd like to see.... The Angry Astronaut meets Lex Fridman. Quantum physics meets Sadhguru from the viewpoint of an alien observer. The wisdom of Muhammad Ali meets Michio Kaku. You get the drift. You are funny and witty and have a sense of good visuals. Keep that stuff up.
he is back run away!!!! run for your lives...
Hi Joe, your content is very insightful and it helps to spark curiosity every time I encounter a new concept. But it's not only that but the focus and the narrative behind that construct an objective opinion, leaving room for critical thinking. Maybe you can talk about new ways of geomaterial detection & extraction that are being developed on Earth that can be used over other celestial bodies (for example gold or diamond ore in asteroids)
❤❤❤
I love how you start, "I hurt my back a few years ago doing something stupid... anyway so I was playing ultimate frisbee"
Hey! That's the exact same professional cable management system I use!
Edit: Also, your channel has had a major shift or pivot already - it was just at a glacial pace so you didn't notice. When you first started out, all your videos were about existential dread - ways the universe could mercilessly smush us. (Or ways we could smush ourselves.) At some point you must have worked that out because your subject matter has become much broader and more positive over the last two to three years (maybe even longer).
