About this episode

The hosts discuss YouTube monetization changes, conspiracy theories about stealth ads, and their personal projects in 3D printing and modding.

We are diving headfirst into the latest YouTube monetization panic—because who doesn’t love casually discovering that the watch-hour requirements just doubled? We also tackle the wild conspiracy theories about "stealth ads" in videos. Spoiler alert: brands aren't paying us thousands of dollars to subtly show a product in our videos; they are control freaks and bureaucratic to the bone. Zac is knee-deep in his modern GameCube mod, complete with the iconic purple shell. Eric has morphed into a caffeinated, shipping and logistics machine, fulfilling his 3D-printed glue holder orders while dealing with customers and odd expectations. Meanwhile, Deric is trying to survive back-to-school season and asking the real questions: which 3D printing filament can actually survive a cycle in the dishwasher without melting onto your silverware?
