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?!

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.
