WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.440
Okay, so hey folks, thanks
for joining us. We just want to

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.880
do a quick channel update today.
You know, things have been going really

3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.119
cool here at the team house.
We got guests lined up all the way

4
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:18.839
into June right now actually, so, I mean we've got mac v Sagay

5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.239
coming on this Friday, all sorts
of interesting dudes, old school Navy seal

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:30.199
like Vietnam veteran, I mean yeah, just really fascinating people coming on.

7
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.759
So, you know, we appreciate
your support of the channel, and we

8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.039
just wanted to let everyone know out
there that, yeah, the YouTube algorithm

9
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.200
kind of sucks lately, not just
for us but for pretty much everybody.

10
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.200
It sounds like I don't know what
they changed for why, but it is

11
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:53.159
what it is. So we are
trying to reinvest ourselves into promoting our Patreon

12
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:58.320
a lot more so that we're a
little bit more independent and you know,

13
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:06.400
not so dependent on the whims of
coders at a website. So the Patreon

14
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.239
is five dollars a month to subscribe, and the big perk for that is

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.760
that you get all these episodes ad
free, so you won't see the ads

16
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.159
that you see on YouTube or if
you listen to the podcast you hear you

17
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.560
know ads that are mid roll ads
on those as well, so the Patreon

18
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.799
guys get the episodes ad free,
and we also do some bonus episodes for

19
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:34.480
Patreon and some other stuff. And
the other thing we wanted to tell people

20
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.400
about is the second podcast that we
launched this year. So that's called eyes

21
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.719
On and it's on the same channel
as The Team House, but it's hosted

22
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:51.159
by Andrew Milburn and Jason Lyons and
it's more topical national security news, things

23
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.040
that are happening, you know,
that week. So please check it out

24
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.680
if you haven't already, and I
should also remind you if you haven't already,

25
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.319
please subscribe to the channel, which
that's completely free to do to subscribe

26
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.519
on YouTube. And if you hit
the bell icon, you want to hit

27
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.360
all notifications to just make sure that
you actually do get notified when when our

28
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.000
episodes go up. What else do
we got for him, Dave? I

29
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:23.680
mean just good cheer, yeah,
cade, camaraderie, a little zza,

30
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.439
and I'm not fired. I'm jazz. Hands On the rare occasion that you

31
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:34.680
know, we feel like you know
that we're moved to it, Let's let

32
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.400
everybody know that I'm off fired either. Yes, I had people texting me

33
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:44.199
asking me why you're fired friends of
mine? That's funny. Yeah, I

34
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.520
really I put an asterisk on everything
I posted getting fired. I'm like,

35
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.360
I don't know SD I didn't get
people in here. I wanted to spark

36
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.319
some drama. No, but it's
it's a real deal. The YouTube has

37
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.199
I don't want to say taking a
ship, because it's still good and we

38
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.159
appreciate everybody who watches and likes and
subscribes. But something happened ever since November.

39
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.000
They changed the way they do their
ads and their monetization, and we've

40
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:13.240
really been getting, for lack of
a better term, our dicks punched in

41
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.719
a little bit. So that's why
we're gonna push the Patreon if you guys,

42
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.840
I mean we do extra bonus shows
every month. We will probably pick

43
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.080
that up. I know the guys. I'm working these guys to the bone,

44
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.599
is what I'm doing. And we
are pumping out three four podcasts a

45
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.199
week now when it used to be
one. So we are putting out the

46
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:37.199
content for sure with eyes on two. So that was the whole point of

47
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:44.080
this video for transparency purposes. Yeah, and just to give people a heads

48
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.280
up of kind of like what's coming
up on the team house in the next

49
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.599
couple months. So I mentioned mech
B SAG veteran this Friday, next week,

50
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:58.879
old school Navy seal. A week
after that, Jonah Mendez served as

51
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.560
a CIA disguise officer. Week after
that, someone who was a friend who

52
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:08.919
was actually the Sergeant major of the
Jaysox Surgical Unit. And then as we

53
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:14.439
go into April, we got a
NSA Red teamer coming in. I think

54
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:19.839
I got a Ukraine feign Legion guy
lined up. We got Navy, another

55
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:25.360
seal telling some old school frog stories. We got a B one pilot coming

56
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:31.040
on, an FBI Assistant director State
Department dude. We got a pre recorded

57
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:38.480
interview coming up that that will be
in May with Sergeant Major Mike Adams,

58
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:46.879
old friend of mine, Jack Devine
will be back in studio nice and the

59
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.240
author of the unit, Adam Gamal, a fifth Group guy coming on.

60
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:57.079
And then as we roll into June, we got another seal and pad O'Donnell's

61
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.199
coming in and to talk about his
new history book that he wrote a about

62
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:09.439
the Civil War from Dmitri that you're
not just Ani. Wait you don't you

63
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.000
prove a life. You have to
have today's newspaper. Yeah, well it

64
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.040
is a lot. It's a it's
a live video. It should be good.

65
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.800
You can do anything with AI now. So yeah, no, I'm

66
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.480
not. I'm not leaving these guys
like literally gonna have to get a restraining

67
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.680
order if they ever try to like
fire me. Yeah, I mean it's

68
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.000
it's a lot, but hey,
it's also good to be self employed.

69
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.759
You have to work hard, but
yeah, it's better than the alternative.

70
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:43.199
Uh, all the layoffs the last
six months, your pel jack wouldn't be

71
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.879
doing so well. Uh if I
was working in another industry. Did you

72
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.800
see what happened to dead Spin today? No, so they got bought out

73
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.680
by a European startup and they just
sent the company wide email that they're laying

74
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.000
off. Everybody just drove it into
the ground, see you. They're just

75
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.120
like, yeah, we're gonna hire
like new staff. Basically there's a lot

76
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:06.600
of that going around right now.
And speaking of which, Sean Naylor and

77
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:11.240
I have a news outlet called The
high Side that I'd love it if you

78
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.439
guys go and check out. It's
real. I mean, it's national security

79
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.240
news, but it's all investigative reporting, and it's very much in the teamhouse

80
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:25.680
kind of realm of special operations and
espionage. So I think you guys will

81
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.360
get a kick out of it.
Go take a look at it, yeah,

82
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.879
and listen. I mean for the
patrons that are patrons now, suggestions

83
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:38.160
thoughts on what we could do,
what we could do better, If you

84
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.480
guys want to see some extra stuff, We're willing to do it because,

85
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.079
like, we don't want to be
beholden to YouTube's algorithm or their monetization policies

86
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.240
or even the audio side of it
too. We want to be able to

87
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.839
build a base here. And that's
what it's I mean, Patreon has been

88
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.600
like that for yeah, since the
inception, right like when you guys started

89
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.800
Patreon, once you guys started pretty
much right away, yeah, and it's

90
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.480
what kept us afloat, Yeah,
kept the lights on, yeah for sure,

91
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.800
because that would be the perfect scenario, is we have a strong base

92
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:10.199
on Patreon. We could be extra
picky too with our sponsors. We could

93
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.079
just pick sponsors we like, rather
than like me the truffle Pig just going

94
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.199
after or whatever get us paid,
you know what I mean, Like,

95
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.240
because I'd rather sell people stuff that
we like. I mean, for the

96
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.879
most part, all our sponsors we
do like and we like they send the

97
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.759
stuff and it's cool stuff and all
that, and you guys should check them

98
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.560
out. But if you do want
to, I would suggest, if you

99
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.160
want to support the show, don't
even use the sponsors, just go to

100
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.079
the Patreon. I'm gonna be real, because I would love for a place

101
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:43.319
in time where the team house was
outside of the YouTube and like audio like

102
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.360
automated ads that they put up right, you completely sponsor free because we do

103
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.000
do it live and sometimes it is
a little tricky when the guys are gonna

104
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.560
about to do an ad read and
stuff like that because it's an actual live

105
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.639
ad read, right, So it's
like it's a bit of a it's not

106
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.480
as easy as it would be if
we did pre recorded. And the fact

107
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.000
is, I like how we do
our shows live, Like I would never

108
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.040
change that, even though, like
I'm doing the Eyes On now with Andy

109
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:13.600
and Jason pre recorded, it's kind
of not the same. It's just not

110
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.079
the same. You know, I
can't have Andy He's like, oh man,

111
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.000
this angle's not good. Let's restart. You know he's done that multiple

112
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.839
times. Let me change my shirt. Yeah, the live aspect of it

113
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.680
is definitely a whole other animal in
of itself. I love it. Yeah,

114
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.879
it's cool, and I mean it's
fun to interact with the viewers and

115
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.279
you know, if you have recommendations
for people you'd like to see on the

116
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.200
show. Like a lot of people
have kept hitting me up about Robert Young

117
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.480
Pelton, who I'm actually very familiar
with his work. I think I've read

118
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.759
all of his books over the years. So because of that, I reached

119
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.200
out to him this week and we're
working. We'll work something out probably like

120
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.320
June July somewhere around there. We'll
see. Yeah, it'd be great,

121
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.120
but it's in the works. We
also have a very cool video in the

122
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.600
works I think I'm very excited for. It's gonna probably happen in the summer.

123
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.840
I don't want to say much because
I'm keeping it. Even like sponsors,

124
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.720
I'm trying to get to sponsor it. They're like, what's the video

125
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.120
about? IM? Like, I'll
tell you a little bit about it,

126
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.840
because I don't want you to tell
somebody else who you guys sponsor and they

127
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.440
fuck us over and have a video
done before us. Because I have a

128
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.919
great I have a really good feeling
that the video will do very well,

129
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.440
you know, so, and it's
it's higher in production. It's gonna cost

130
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.039
more than like what we do normally, right, Like we know we just

131
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.759
come here, sit down and get
stuff going. This will be on location,

132
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.159
on location, I'll probably I'm thinking
about hiring somebody to actually video it

133
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:45.480
too. So yeah, it's definitely
gonna be more production heavy than our normal

134
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:52.320
videos, even though our normal videos
are a plus production number one always.

135
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.799
Last week was funny with Dale.
I was worried about the sound because Dale's

136
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.240
got to like a really big,
really big range. He's like very low

137
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.919
and then he gets high sometimes,
so it's freaking out. But people were

138
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.320
saying it sounded very good. So
I was like, Okay, thank god,

139
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.399
someone said they sounds fine. I'm
like, I'll take fine all day.

140
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.080
Uh So, yeah, guys,
like, we really appreciate your support

141
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.120
of the channel. I hope you'll
stay with us. Anything else that I'm

142
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.120
overlooking here, No, don't forget
to Like you said, check out Jack's

143
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.360
High Side with Sean Naylor. They're
doing like really great stuff that the New

144
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.080
York Times and the rest of them
are too scared to do. Seriously,

145
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.759
who's gonna ever who would ever write
those stories? No one, no one

146
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.480
else? Right, Yeah, And

147
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.039
life blood, so we need to

but we'll listen. You know,
