MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!

We share our thoughts about the latest (and hopefully last) Toy Story film which is called Toy Story 4. 

There are also some bad Randy Newman, Fat Albert, and Jony Ive impressions.

And Kevin does a mini-review of the new Aladdin reboot too.

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!

It's a good ole fashioned RANT as we talk through all of Spotify's grievances against Apple, who they believe is not "playing fair" by charging Spotify a fee to use Apple's platform.

Here is the website if you want to read along.

This week on the show, have memes become too mainstream? MEMESTREAM?!?!

And we got a question about what kind of music we're into these days, so we took it as an opportunity to talk about All the Bands We've Loved Before.

UPDATE: Jade the cat was found! :)

We cover a lot of ground on this episode of the podcast! Hope you enjoy this conversation.

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

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.

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, 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"

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!

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!

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.

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 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, 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.

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.
