Yeah, that is really the biggest news ever, is always It always feels like my whole life just narrows down to the video production in the in the four or five days before it actually goes live and just everything. Everything gets postponed. And so there's there is this cycle in my life. where, you know, I use this, this program called OmniFocus to track all of my today And maybe about 14 days before I'm expecting a video to come out, I start delaying everything in my little program to like after when I think it's going to come out. And so I'm working on the video and stuff comes up in my program and I delay delay, delay, delay delay. And then I'm kind of experiencing right now and what I was doing before I was I was talking to you and suddenly there's just this monster is number of things to do after the video comes out. And so I'm just I'm sort of overwhelmed with just a very large number of things but but yeah, the getting the video out is is the biggest deal and it was good back jury nullification.

Brady 34:38

I liked it.

Grey 34:39

Yeah, yeah, it's well, I have to say it's, it is done successfully. And actually, let me let me open up right now and

Brady 34:49

it was 1.2 million last time I looked at it. Yeah, that's this I want to check so I saw nothing for you. There isn't that's just

Grey 34:54

No, I know. This is what I was gonna say. So I actually as you might not be surprised. I have an objective A measure about the success of the videos that I used to deem whether or not they have been successful. And so I take, take whatever my subscriber number at the time of release is as the starting point. So let's just let's just make the numbers easy. I have about a million subscribers at this point. And if I have a video that gets less than a third of that number, in a week, I would consider that to be just like a total abject failure. If it's more than a third, to sort of equal to the number of subscribers I consider that to be kind of satisfactory. And anything that gets more than the total number of subscribers, that to me is like a very successful video because that means like, people are really sharing it and like it's going to more people than have signed up to get my videos. So that that's Always for me, the real crossing point is like, can the video get more views than subscribers that I have within a week? And I think it's it is, it's been five days and it is just under the number of subscribers that I have now. So I think this one will, will limp across that threshold probably before the week. We close out.

I've noticed a couple of a couple of your videos lately actually. The the titles have been a little bit more Tz like a bit more. Is this. Is this a coincidence? Or is this a deliberate deliberate thing we're seeing now they're a bit more like What's this about? You know, like, the law you won't be told and this will hurt and

Grey 36:41

Okay, so it's fine that you picked up on that because? If the answer is that is partly just a coincidence. The the previous video that I did on the no CBOE effect, the opposite opposite of the placebo effect. I have a demonstration in the beginning that just does not work. If you Know what the video is going into it. So I have to not say the name of the thing in the in the title. In that case with this one yeah, it isn't much more Tz title with the law you won't be told. And that is only half a coincidence, but I came across remember exactly where but some study that was talking about click through rates for titles and and they were basically saying that Tz kind of titles have surprisingly large click through rates for what you might expect. And so I thought, Oh, let me just let me just try something that's a little bit different. I don't think I will normally do it. I just happened to have two topics that it worked very well with. And so I didn't mind having that back to back. But I do I am a fan of the straightforward title. Also, because that partly does a lot of introduction for you. Like I don't necessarily have to set up as much. Yeah, if the title just straight up says Here's what we're going to talk about. So it is just a bit of a bit of a coincidence. Although I will say just as a personal experience releasing this video, I think in the second episode or somewhere I mentioned how I probably will not do a medical topic for a while. Because that put me under a lot of stress about sort of being feeling like I really need to be correct. I am going to add a lot of topics that I will not cover anytime soon again, if I can possibly avoid it. And it's for a slightly different reason. But you. So this is entirely a problem with me and also my as make this a theme, talking about analogies. I tend to think of the law as a kind of computer code for human society. Right? We hear all these rules and we formalize these rules about what should happen under what circumstances. And here here's all the exceptions for the consequences. If the laws are the rules didn't work out in a particular way. But No, this is not the case when I sit down and think about it, and it's partly because my, my father is actually a lawyer in the States. And I know through him just how much of the law depends on interpretations of what happens in the courtroom. And it's so much more situational and like, oh, it depends, then you think of the law as being, you know, really clear, or at least I think of it as being that way. Yeah. And so I cannot tell you how many rounds this script went through where I had very definitive statements that kept having to be kind of modified and qualified and toned down and changed, changed a lot. So I will not do a lot topic again, if I can possibly avoid it. Partly because of that, like it's it's difficult to make definitive statements and there's a number of places in the video where I'm talking about situations that might occur and it is like yes, that might happen the majority of the time but that like there's there's always going to be a really long list of exceptions. Nevermind the fact that in America The rules are different in all 50 states for how things are handled. Right so I was trying to talk about them like the most general possible case. But yes, that was dreadful. Do not expect a lot topic anytime soon. People have a bit Have you ever been to a trial? I have never been to a trial in person. Now.
