Oh hey, we're back! We haven't recorded an episode in a while because Kevin is now working a 9-5 job, while evenings aren't super convenient for Josh with a 4-month-old at home. But we carved out some time this week to make it happen!
This episode was recorded LIVE in front of the folks who came to Blimey Con and Breakfast with Kevin! We take audience questions and just talk about the weekend and how much fun it was.

Plus, Kevin watches the new Spider-Man: Far from Home trailer and reacts in REAL TIME!
And we answer some questions about audio and getting a dog!
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! Why would you listen to a review before you saw the movie anyway?
It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not because "Avengers: Endgame" is finally in theaters, but because the "Avengers Endgame" INNER TUBE REVIEW is finally here!
We talk for an hour and a half about the biggest cinematic release in the history of film, and we don't even small talk about getting old at the beginning! You don't have to skip ahead! The review starts at the beginning!

Josh replaced his over-the-range microwave, Kevin went to the home of Thomas Jefferson, and 37 minutes into this podcast episode, we start talking about that new Star Wars teaser trailer!

This week on the show, we spend ninety minutes talking about our 21 favorite movies of all time. A few of them we share in common and some of them we disagree about, but this was a really fun deep dive into the movies we love and the ones that helped shape the kind of stories we like to tell!
This episode is all over the place- lots and lots to talk about! We answer a few questions (including an interesting one about how to stay creative even when you're depressed), and also discuss Kevin's recent video where he talks about regretting some things he said in his review of the Kendrick Brother's film War Room.
Josh is out of town this week, so Kevin takes over the show and chats with the one and only MICHAEL SCHAFFER! He's the creator of the very popular MEMES FOR JESUS account.
Kevin chats with Michael about how this whole thing got started and what it's like being the world's most successful cultivator of Christian memes.
Check out Michael's page here: www.memesforjesus.com

The dust has settled and everyone has gone home... but Blimey Con and Kev Con 2018 are still fresh in our minds. On this episode, we talk about the third annual event that Josh has hosted and second annual one Kevin has hosted.
Lots of fun and good conversation this week!
It's our second annual LIVE episode of The Inner Tube, recorded in front of the attendees of Blimey Con and KevCon (aka Breakfast with Kevin). We answer audience questions and have a blast!
We are living in an alternate universe where Kevin was personally invited onto the set of the new movie by the Kendrick Brothers (Facing the Giants, Fireproof, War Room). In this episode, he shares his experience talking with Alex and Stephen Kendrick.
Because yep... they watched his review of War Room right in front of him. It was awkward.
This is a pretty interesting conversation, as Kevin shares where is YouTube channel has been, and where he wants it to go from here!

We also spend some time talking about our current computer setups and why the question "PC or Mac?" has gotten more complicated for us over the years!
Sometimes it's good to go back to our ROOOOOTS! We discuss what gear we recommend for beginners in 2018.
Kevin also talks about 1984 and Brave New World.
We talk about quite a bit on this episode of the show! The first half is just chatting about what's been going on with us, and then we get into a couple of listener questions...
- "How do I ask to get paid for my work?"
- "How did you guys find your voices on YouTube?"
Great questions, great episode! Make sure to send in questions: questions@innertubeshow.com
Yes, that's right! It's time for another Josh & Kevin movie review!
We recorded this review of the film I Can Only Imagine back in March shortly after seeing the movie in theaters.
Hope you enjoy hearing our thoughts!
This week on the show, we review that Solo movie everyone hates/loves, then we talk about a really cool piece of hardware Kevin has built to organize his computer files, and finally we discuss the just-released first half of Season 5 of Arrested Development.
Thanks for all you do, Ron Howard!
It's an action packed hour on The Inner Tube so hang on tight!
- Building/upgrading a computer: Kevin is building his own server, and I just recently upgraded my computer, so we share our experiences in working on that stuff.
- An email so shocking, Kevin is rendered speechless: We receive an email this week that puts Kevin at a loss for words for perhaps the first time in his entire life.
- "Should I quit band in order to do video?":We help listener Jacob try to figure out if he should bail on a commitment he's getting bored with, in order to pursue his passion for video!
- "How do you guys balance work, health, life, etc?":We got an interesting email asking us how we balance all of the different things we work on. Certainly a lot has changed for both Kevin and I over the last year, so we discuss what life right now looks like for each of us.
THIS WEEK ON THE SHOW, we talk about why you may have an engaged community, but still aren't succeeding on Patreon.
We also discuss whether or not it's a good idea to post your podcast on YouTube.
Also, Kevin has been very sick. But he's FINALLY FEELING BETTER!
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! We are now living in a world where Josh liked an Avengers movie more than Kevin did. WHAT?! Don't miss this episode for our detailed review!
This week, we talk about a great service Kevin came across that actually lets you A/B test your titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
We also talk about whether or not Brother Brother Time and The Tube exist in the same universe.
There is also some discussion about the Blimey Cow video "Seven Ways Hollywood Is Painfully Out of Touch".
But all of that doesn't really matter, because this episode will always and forever be remembered as "That Moment When Josh Made Kevin Laugh So Hard He Cried"
Has Kevin finally gone TUBE far?! This week, he went down the terrifying rabbit hole of 9/11 conspiracy videos on YouTube, and this episode of The Inner Tube is the result of his findings.
This week on the show, Kevin and Josh share the story of how Kevin started doing the sound design each week for Blimey Cow! Hard to believe he's been doing it for around 4 and a half years now!
Kevin is out this week, so I (Josh) bring in Inner-Circle Member Adler Davidson to co-host the show! Adler is a very funny YouTube comedian/personality who you should know about if you don't already.
Adler has become a good friend of the show, a great friend in real life, so it was fun to have him on the show finally for an hour-long discussion about a bunch of interesting topics.
We discuss how Adler handles running a YouTube channel while he's in college, how to write jokes, and more! Hope you all enjoy.
Adler's YouTube Channel
Josh is out of town, so Kevin, Carmen, and Barkley take over the show and share some details about current (AND UPCOMING) projects they're working on!
What would you do if one of your videos blew up... but you eventually decided that you no longer agreed with what you said in the video? We got a really interesting email from a listener of the show asking that very question!
We also discuss how to build a great community in your comment section.
Last week, we went to the National Religious Broadcasters conference, and it was just LOADS of fun. In this episode, we tell you all about it!
We took a month off, and this episode explains why.
We weren't sure if we were going to talk about it on The Inner Tube, but we decided it was only fair, since this show is all about documenting the highs (AND the lows) of content creation.
BUT BEFORE we get into all of that, we talk about the eDgY return of Underoath (they swear now– super eDgY!)
And Kevin also shares his experience at the red carpet premier of the film I Can Only Imagine. He ended up having a two hour discussion with Alex Kendrick (Courageous, Fireproof, War Room, etc.) I know– can you believe it?!
This is maybe our favorite episode we've ever recorded. Hope you all enjoy it!
Wow, it's a REALLY classic episode of The Inner Tube where we answer a couple of questions and then go off on a bunch of tangents! Hope you enjoy this very fun episode of the show.
Is YouTube CENSORING small creators?! YOU BET! Or not. We discuss it this week on the show.
This show isn't ACCESSIBLE, you say?! TUBE CONFUSING to understand, you think?!
Well, you're out of excuses because on episode TUBE-hundred, we explain EVERY inner side joke!
Thanks so much to Jeff Ross for compiling the list, and as always to Corban Garcia for making our website look great.
Kevin and I both had some surprising life changes in 2017 that have extended into the new year. In this episode, we discuss how things have changed and what we hope to accomplish in 2018. This turned into a pretty HONEST and VULNERABLE conversation!
We're back and up to '18 now!
Happy New Year, everyone! This week, we talk about how famous our friend Bobby Burns is now, the basics of podcasting, and the correct spelling of "How..?" (It's complicated).
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!
This week on the show, it's the most wonderful time of the year! The Last Jedi is here, and we have our full review of the second act of the new Star Wars trilogy.
This movie is a lot more divisive than anyone could have predicted, and we have a great time unpacking it!
UPDATE:Since we recorded this episode, Patreon has rolled back the changes to transaction fees. The full announcement can be found here.
This week, Patreon announced changes to their payment system, and a lot of people freaked out, claiming that it's just a money grab on Patreon's part.
The whole thing is pretty confusing and takes awhile to unpack, but if you're interested in what it's like to run a Patreon campaign, this will hopefully be an insightful episode. Kevin and I are still figuring it all out.
In short, we are conflicted about the messaging that Patreon is using to promote this change, but we do believe that overall it is a positive thing.
The video-streaming site Vidme is shutting down, and their goodbye message is very interesting. It basically PROVES that our unpopular opinion about everything going on with YouTube is actually right.
Kevin's sister Kt visits the show for the first time as well, so we talk about what that was like.
Kevin is heading home for Thanksgiving but that doesn't stop us from recording an episode of The Inner Tube! This week on the show, we discuss all of the Star Wars Battlefront II controversy, Kevin's latest video, and plagiarism potential-controversy!
Yep, for the first time, a new Blimey cow video has been hit with a "not suitable for most advertisers" message. NICE! So we talk about that.
We also discuss Kevin's recent trip to LA for a press junket about the film The Star. He got to meet Patricia Heaton and Zachary Levi!
Then we answer a couple of questions about maintaining your audience when you want to switch gears with your content, and also how to keep your audience excited about NEW content.
Kevin & Josh went to see the new Kevin Sorbo/Sean Hannity film Let There Be Light, and it takes about 45 minutes to talk through the ordeal.
Well, it really happened. Kevin visited the set of God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness,and he has a ton of great stories about his big movie adventure. We didn't talk much about his trip off mic, so you're hearing my real reactions to everything that went on. Don't miss this episode!
This is 100% real: Kevin got invited onto the set of God's Not Dead 3! We talk all about how it happened, this week on the show!
NOTE: This may be the second time you are being notified about this episode. It's the same episode as yesterday, but some listeners said it never reached their podcatcher of choice so we went ahead and deleted the original and re-uploaded. Sorry for the confusion!
Kevin emailed YouTube asking why he isn't advertiser-friendly anymore, and YouTube responded. We discuss what they said and give our thoughts on the whole thing.
We also talk for a bit at the beginning of the show about video games and video game journalism.
Josh shares how he turned his vacation into his vocation– literally! He's got a new job as a travel agent booking Disney World trips for clients, and on today's episode, he tells the story of how he went from zero experience as a travel agent just a year and a half ago, to now working with one of the most popular Disney World vacation planning websites on the internet.
Thinking about going to Disney World? Click here to get a quote request and make sure you request Josh as your agent!
And if you want to check out Josh's Disney World podcast, click here.
Kevin has been hit with demonetization on his YouTube channel. So we have a long discussion about what is happening, why YouTube is doing what it's doing, and where things go from here.
This week, we spend some time discussing scripts, ad-libbing, and editing. We also talk about subscribers vs. video views, and how to have just the most incredible YouTube channel name of all time.
Do we want The Inner Tube to grow? Where do we want this show to go in the future? We got an interesting email about the current state of our podcast, and it lead to an interested conversation about what the point of our show is.
There's also some stuff about wheelbarrows (not barrels).
Also, we re-did the intro of today's show after we recorded the episode, to better reflect what the show ended up being about. So that's why the first minute of the show doesn't really make any sense.
Kevin is finally BACK! So we spend the first few minutes of the show getting caught up on everything that's gone on while we've been apart.
Then we get into a discussion about PewDiePie and his recent use of "the n-word" on a livestream. Has he finally gone TUBE far?
This week, I (Josh) have a really fun conversation with Inner Circle member Melanie Ahern. She runs my very favorite YouTube channel, and on this episode, we discuss her inconsistent release schedule and how she's still been able to build an audience around her really unique content.
We also discuss whether or not you should stick to one theme on your YouTube channel when you're starting out.
Kevin should be back next week. Thanks everyone for sticking with us for a few weeks while he has been away! And an extra special thank you to Gret Glyer, Jordan Taylor, and Melanie Ahern for helping me keep the show going in Kevin's absence.
It's been six years to the day since we uploaded the first episode of Messy Mondays onto YouTube. Today on the show, I (Josh) have a conversation with my brother Jordan about how far the show has come, and what we think about the future of Blimey Cow.
This episode contains a lot of stuff we haven't really talked about publicly outside of our Blimey Cow Patreon community, so we hope it all makes sense. Thanks so much for listening!
Creating content is hard work... staying motivated is even harder! This week on the show, we discuss some secrets we've discovered over the years that have helped us stay motivated and on track.
Kevin is out of the country this week, so Gret Glyer, founder of the company DonorSee, joins me (Josh) on the show today.
Our first ever episode recorded in front of a studio audience! This episode happened LIVE at Blimey Con 2017 in Nashville.
We talk to some Inner Circle members, as well as Josh's brother Jordan. This was an absolute blast to record, and we really hope you guys enjoy it.
This week on the show, we discuss Patreon! We get a lot of questions about launching crowd-funding campaigns, so we thought it'd be fun to talk about the strategies we use to cultivate and grow out Patreon communities. Plus, our friend Jeremiah (who supports both of us on Patreon!) joins the conversation.
This week, we make a few big announcements! Then, we discuss how Kevin is adjusting to life after being fired, and finally we answer a listener question about talking about controversial topics on his YouTube channel.
Last week, Kevin got fired from his job at Made In Network, an online content company here in Nashville that is most well known for managing the Cinema Sins YouTube channel. In this two hour breakdown of everything that transpired, Kevin opens up about his struggles, weaknesses, inner tudes, and ultimately TRIUMPHS! I mean who needs a job, anyway?
This week, we spend some time talking about our LIVE episode from last week (what worked and what didn't), then we discuss the current state of Josh's YouTube channel Blimey Cow, and finally we answer an email about the revenue we get from normal YouTube views vs. YouTube Red views.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! This week on the show, we review the new film Spider-Man: Homecoming! Kevin and Josh DISAGREE a lot in this one! Was it as good as Spider-Man 2?! Was it any good at all?! This episode was recorded LIVE on YouTube. Video here.
Today we discuss the problem of preachiness in storytelling, and why we'd rather hear a well-told story we disagree with, than a poorly-told story that confirms our biases.
As a warning, we talk about a number of films in this episode and spoil some of them, including Inside Out, Ex Machina, Arrival, John Q, Up, Contagion, The Dark Knight,and probably a few others.
Before it's over, we also discuss our own experiences in storytelling– Kevin with his work on The Ceiling Fan podcast, and Josh with his work on the YouTube series Brother Brother Time.
We discuss Laci Green dating Chris Ray Gun, and the backlash she has received for this. We also discuss Anita Sarkeesian vs Sargon of Akkad at VidCon, AND we talk about the troubled Han Solo film.
Kevin gets EXTREMELY VULNERABLE as we read through the survey responses that we received from listeners of this show! How do you guys think we are doing with The Inner Tube? This was a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy this episode!
Matt Langston of the band EleventySeven joins us today to talk about what it was like growing up in a "Christian band" (or rather, being a "Christian in a band"). We discuss how the music industry has changed in the last decade, too. This turned into a really great discussion, and we hope you all enjoy it!
We went and saw WONDER WOMAN, and we have some thoughts! We also brought in Kevin's wife Carmen to get a WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE.
PLEASE TAKE THE INNER TUBE LISTENER SURVEY 2017: https://goo.gl/forms/s1eJ1lEipykeqoAO2
Kevin and I really love recording The Inner Tube each week, and we want to make sure it's a show that YOU guys love, too! This episode is basically just a conversation all about what this show is all about.
We do The Inner Tube because we both love to encourage people to do what they love! We want to make a show each week that we wish had existed when we were growing up, to encourage us and give us confidence that we can do whatever we set our minds to! I hope that makes sense.
We are so grateful to everyone who takes an hour or so out of their week to listen to us goof off and have fun. We hope you enjoy it, and we hope you are encouraged by it! Thanks guys.
We discuss YouTube within the context of Neil Postman's book Amusing Ourselves to Death and talk about whether it makes society better or worse. It turned into a really interesting conversation, and we hope you enjoy it!
This week, we list ALL of the gear we use for videos and podcasting! We also help a guy who wants to keep his show fresh when he does the same format every week. In addition to both of these incredible topics, we also talk about our experiences using PayPal.
This is a short and sweet episode of the Inner Tube recorded late at night when Kevin and I were both very tired.
This week, we talk all about INTROS! We also discuss timing and pacing within your videos, and finally we explain what kind of gear you need to be ready for a multi-location shoot.
We go in depth about dealing with sponsorships. In a lot of ways, it's easier than it looks! It's just all about getting that first deal.
We also discuss whether or not it's possible to host a podcast online for free. TUBE much fun, this week on The Inner Tube!
Josh and Kevin talk about inappropriate ads, iMovie, and audio quality. Also, they haven't seen each other in two weeks so naturally it takes a while to get to questions. Something about Taylor Swift, something about The Fast & the Furious, something something...
We recorded this episode on the way to Disney World! Jordan Taylor co-hosts as we discuss the current state of YouTube, used equipment, and some behind the scenes on the creation of our show Messy Mondays.
Are you sitting down? Kevin actually liked a Christian movie. This is the episode where we deal with all of that.
We cover a lot in an hour!

We chat camcorders vs. DSLR, what to do when you don't feel funny, and how to get more likes on your Facebook page. Also, Josh does a pretty convincing impression of Dave Ramsey! TUBE FUNNY!

ALSO, we have a very big announcement! Stay 'til the end!
Note: We announce a start date of March 6th for the new podcast, but it's actually March 7th. Sorry about that!
Are the major social networks lying to us about what's "trending" these days?! PROBABLY. But WHY?!
Also, Josh gets a mysterious phone call RIGHT as he starts talking about government conspiracy theories... COINCIDENCE?!?!?!
Who are Josh's favorite content creators? He's got the list down to six and presents them today! He almost cries at one point, too.
Josh's wife Kelli joins the show to chat about her daily blogging project (http://www.currentlykelli.com) which she just wrapped up. Josh has a daily blogging project this year too (http://www.heyjoshtaylor.com/photoblog) so the two of them talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of creating content every single day for a year.
This week, we discuss video thumbnails, quiet shooting locations, and of course... government propaganda.
We are all over the place this week as we discuss whether or not you should work on paid projects that you personally disagree with.
Are some people just not cut out for content creation? Should your videos take longer than a week to put together? And was there drama on the set of Brother Brother Time Season 2? We discuss these questions and all kinds of other stuff this week on The Inner Tube!
Kevin & Josh look back on the year that was, and talk about all of their various success and failures. Eventually, the conversation devolves into a discussion about Star Wars and manspreading.
This week, Josh does the show solo and offers some encouragement regarding building an audience. Sure, it's important. But it's not nearly as important as finding your voice.
SPOILER WARNING! Yep, Rogue One was a lot of fun, but there are lots of storytelling lessons to take away from it, too. We discuss why the third act worked so well, and also talk about some ways that we believe the film's first act could have been improved.
A lot of big YouTubers are complaining again that YouTube is "broken," this time because they are losing subscribers and not getting as many views or something. Boo hoo.
Also, at the beginning of the episode, Kevin spoils the book/movie "The Shack", in case you're planning on checking it out and don't want to know what happens.
Cameras are becoming ridiculously cheap. This week, we discuss which ones are the best for beginners. Microphones, too! We also discuss 4K TVs and camera stabilizers! And a new podcast Kevin is hosting! It's TUBE much!
