      FYI: The chapter at 10:23 is the labeled incorrectly. It's the wiring analogy, but you have it labeled as the golf analogy which comes later. Side note, you should take a look at my Short called "Battlefield Chessboard" and then decide to make one yourself. I would love for my idea to get out there some more. I plan to make a detailed video on the process but I haven't received a new order for one since the first few I made.

    Most embarrassing story: When I was in my twenties, I had fertility testing done. I did the deed, collected the sample and headed for the lab. I get to the lab to turn my sample in and the woman behind the counter turns out to be somebody I had a massive crush on all throughout high school. She noticed me and was like "Oh my gosh! I haven't seen you in years how are you?" I was stunned by who I had to turn my sample over to and my brain froze. Instead of responding in kind like a normal person, what came out of my mouth was "Oh hey I was just thinking about you!"

    I've been following your videos for several years now, and I must say that the quality is only increasing!
    you also gave me the motivation to make my own epoxy table with your nano finish (walnut table that I made cracked and broken with an ax on a press to give it width to fill in epoxy, it's was a lot of fun!) and also to be a better carpenter by reminding myself what a beautiful profession it is.

    Most embarrassing story: I was drinking too much and stayed over my buddy’s house that night. The next day I woke up and hung out for a while and then needed to go home to shower and change. I lived about 15 minutes away. On the way, I get pulled over and the officer tells me that my license plate is on upside down. Immediately I know it was my friend’s brother pranking me. I explained it to the officer and he let me go to fix it. I got pulled over two more times on the way. I was so angry with him. Finally I get back to my friends house after fixing the plate at mine and start yelling at him. They all explain to me that I was the one who decided to play the prank on my friend’s brother and turn his plate upside down but accidentally did it on my own car. Lesson is don’t drink and play pranks 😂

    I think I can outdo you in the embarrassment area Cam - I once went for an interview around 2006 at a tech company as a product manager. I had a panel interview with 4 people ,- two men and two women. Everything was going fine...then came to the point where I had to give the usual 15-minute PowerPoint presentation on how I would approach the role. At the time the only USB drives I had were work ones, and I didn't want to use one of those for an interview at a competitor, so I borrowed one from a work colleague. When the guy asked for my presentation, I promptly gave him the USB drive with it on so he could load it on the PC connected to the projector.
    Thing is, their company PC was more modern than my old home laptop, with a new version of Windows with fancy new features like displaying ALL the documents when you plug in removable media. So I had to look on in horror as the projector showed the USB drive opening and displaying my work colleagues collection of dozens and dozens of porn images which must have been in a hidden folder on the drive. The guy loaded the presentation anyway, and I had to spend the next 15 minutes presenting to a group of people who thought I was some sort of absolute deviant.
    Needless to say, I wasn't offered the job!

    Most embarrassing moment: Fist day of work as a civilian at a military base, first job out of college. Walking down a hallway to the cafeteria. I turn a corner and all the soldiers, airmen and sailors in the hall snap to attention and salute. I was like, Wow! This is Cool! I salute back. Military people coming down the hall as I walked along did the same thing. Again, WOW! This is so cool! I salute back again, trying not to smile.
    The hallway opens up to a rotunda.
    A 3-star admiral and his aide walk past me. They'd been behind me for I don't know how long. As we pass, the admiral smiles at me and salutes. The disdain in his aide's eyes was killer.

Providing good chuckles along the way too (For once, I've spent more time reading the comments than watching the video, and having such a good time at it LOL). So here is my contribution.
    Last week of high school was time for THE gymnastic competition, a final exhibition crowning months of training. All the kids were sitting squeezed into the gym, including many of the girls I had a crush on, looking at each one of us performing. I was pretty good at doing a front somersault at the time, first running some distance then jumping on a little wooden springboard, before doing a 360 flip and landing on my two feet. For my final demonstration, I decided to give everyone a good show, ran fast and jumped on the board with élan, sending me high into the air while I started my spin. A bit too high. Resulting in my body doing one quarter rotation too many and me landing perfectly flat on the foam mat, face first and arms spread out, with the loudest thumping sound reverberating across the entire building. When I came to and finally managed to stood up, the entire school - including the PE teachers - were still rolling on the floor laughing.
    Beautiful tables and the reveal of the matching ends at 28:37 was the cherry on the cake.

    Embarrassing story: For my birthday one year, I had a bunch of my friends over at my house including a girl that I have basically been in love with since highschool. I was doing a "make your own pizza" thing where I had made all the dough and sauce myself and was cooking everyone's pizza in my nice vintage cast iron skillets. My sister was over with her fairly new like 7 month old baby, and at one point she asked if she could give him a bath in my shower. In the back of my mind, I was praying that she would not use the hand soap bottle I had in there. I had previously replaced the soap that was in the bottle with mineral oil for personal.....massage reasons...
    Sure enough a few minutes later she comes running out of the bathroom freaking out and yelling "What was in that hand soap bottle?!?!" She evidently thought that, since I was a cast iron enthusiast, that maybe I had made a sodium hydroxide solution and put some in that bottle for whatever reason. (sodium hydroxide is good for dunking an old cast iron pan in to remove all the old built up carbon and baked on grease) Anyways, she is making all this commotion and despite trying to quietly calm her down so I can explain the situation in private, she is hysterical and demanding an answer now.
    So with all the frantic cooking going on that I am responsible for combined with her hysterics, I yell out in front of everybody "ITS F***ING MINERAL OIL!" Everybody is now looking at me and her and she asks "Why the f*** do you have mineral oil in a hand soap bottle in your shower?" to which I reply "Why do you think I have something like that in the shower?"
    Now, everyone is looking at me and laughing since I basically just admitted to everyone that I have a bottle of lube in the shower for doing the deed. And my sister had just covered her very young 7 month old son in lube. Worst birthday ever.

    Most embarrassing story: It was my first week as an electricians apprentice and we were doing some residential rough-in. There was an annoying can light right above a staircase and far enough to the side that it was about 20 feet off the ground. The whole time the journeyman had told me “we’ll deal with it later”, but I didn’t want to wait, wanted to show that I was a “go getter” or whatever. So I jerryrigged a bunch of boards on the stairs and a 6 foot ladder and put a 8 foot ladder on those so I could reach the light.
    I fell flat on my back, right as the master electrician was walking into the house, and I hadn’t met him yet. Somehow I was completely fine minus a scratch on my elbow, and I stood up and shook his hand.
    I still get teased about it by him

      @@BlacktailStudio You're not the first channel to push "Better Help" for ads. A lot of the large channels do it. As with most advertising though, sometimes people pay to get their name out there even if they aren't the best. That's why it's called advertising. I don't blame you for using them, but I would suggest keeping certain ones in mind that are negative experiences for your viewers. You'd hate to lose subs over ads. For instance, Perkins Brothers channel did an add with a gambling game ad a few weeks ago and it was so negative in the comments, they dropped the video and removed the ad, then re-uploaded and said they wouldn't use them going forward. I thought that was very kind of them to understand that while nobody necessarily wants ads, it does help pay these channels, so in some ways, the ads are part of the content and the viewers had to like them.

    Cam, I actually built one of these table bases back in 2022. I don’t believe that drawings would really be very helpful when in reality the hardest part is figuring how to get the pieces to stay together. I made a sandwich of plywood and marked on each where the ends of the wood would lie. I then used some strategic cuts to make resting spots where the wood intersected and then screwed, glued and plugged. It was very challenging and that was with drawings. I have no Idea if this helps but I do have drawings and pictures.

    When I was 15, I attended a Billy Keller basketball camp. You know, typical camp stuff; dribbling, shooting, trying to impress your friends and NOT embarrass yourself. So there we all were, sitting on the gym floor, listening to Billy give this really intense motivational speech. I was hanging on every word, feeling super inspired... and then it happened. I accidentally let out a fart. Not just any fart, this fart echoed through the gym like I had a microphone attached. It was so loud that Billy Keller, an actual basketball legend, paused. Like, mid-sentence, dead silence, just staring at me. I wanted the gym floor to swallow me whole. Safe to say, that was the most embarrassing thing that could happen to a teenage girl. Ever.
    I think the tables turned out beautifully. If I had $25000 to spend on tables, I’d totally buy them.

After I made the delivery and came back down to ground level, I walked out of the elevator and the guards at the security desk were dying laughing as they asked if I was ok because they saw me on the security camera.

I told him to bring them all in, admittedly I was trying to be sarcastic, but he didn’t pick up on it. He said that it was a great idea and thanked me for my compliance I couldn’t stop him before he left but I wish I did because he returned with 5 beautiful college aged women and proceeds to examine the surgical site by whipping everything out into the open air (everything, it was almost akin to a mechanic throwing open a car hood) I was petrified of women and embarrassed of my genetic gifts so all I could imagine to say is that it was pretty cold being uncovered. The doc replied with “we can all clearly see that you are cold” (referencing… obvious shrinkage) which resulted in uncontrollable laughter from the students and a life time of mental scars to my psyche.

I went to Walgreens to get some ibuprofen. He happened to be there also. It wasn't packed but there were plenty of people there. I walked to the end of the aisle he was in and said, very, very loudly "Hey Adam, the ointment for that itch you have down there is two aisles over." and just walked away. The array of emotions on his face was amazing. It went from confusion, to realization, to anger and finally embarrassment. All within seconds.

    By far my most embarrassing story comes from my 8th grade trip to Washington DC.
    My class was very small because I went to a private school.
    As a young kid I always knew I would end up working in EMS and I was a bit of a squirrel when I was younger. A term for someone who is “obsessed” with EMS stuff.
    I had a small first aid kit in my backpack and once one person found out everyone found out. Everyone was poking fun and making fun of me.
    I said “why is it a problem? I’m certified in CPR and first aid through the Red Cross”.
    People kept going and kept poking fun at me and someone started asking questions.
    I got so fired up that I blurted out “I’m certified to give birth”.
    The entire bus erupted in laughter and even the teachers were holding back laughter. I was mortified.
    I meant to say I was “certified to deliver a baby”.
    As a 12 year old boy, that was the most mortifying, embarrassing and horrifying thing that could’ve happened to me.
    I grew up in EMS and public service. Spent all my time hanging out with firefighters, paramedics and EMT’s.
    I work in public service now and I regret the day I have to “give birth” IE deliver a baby, because I know that I’ll probably be holding back laughter. All I’ll be thinking about is that bus ride to Washington DC.
    PS. I’m no longer a “squirrel”, thankfully I grew out of that. 😂

I was already almost 6' tall and randomly side-hugged him with almost no exchanging of words. The confused look this 80-something-year-old man gave me was quite something. He wasn't offended or anything, he just seemed weirded out and uncomfortable, as I'm sure anyone would've been. I'm just hoping he thought I knew someone who died in the military or something. I've got plenty of retired vets in my family, but none of them have died. I wasn't even alive when most of them were in the service. I'm sure glad I'm an adult now.

Trust is a huge thing with a therapist, and they this company is saying they can be trusted and then breaking that trust in the worst way possible is reprehensible to say the least.

    Most embarrassing story: Had a long distance friend over for a weekend. It was our first face to face meeting as well and young me already had a crush on him. As I was just 17 or 18 I still lived with my parents and two brothers, so dinner was full table. We had a lot of fun!
    Unfortunately some food didn't sit well with me and I had to flee to the toilet.. As they were still loudly discussing and laughing I thought I could cautiously relieve myself without anyone hearing anything.. as I relaxed... they seemed to stop for a breather or something... and I, unable to stop at this point, ripped out a fart as loud as I had NEVER before... and the laughter was right back, even louder.
    Fortunately I'm a girl that's not embarrassed by having basic body functions. So I put on my bravest face and tried to laugh with them. Seeming to be cool with it impressed my crush.. so success?
    And that is also the only reason, why I'm not dying inside, whenever I think about it 😁

    Most embarrassing story: I was taking the SAT in high school and we had a break between two sections of the test. One female student walked up to the teacher and said something very quietly. The teacher whispered, "No," then turned to the class and quietly asked some nearby students, "Do any of you have paper?" I raised my notebook over my head and LOUDLY said, "I got paper." The teacher muttered something like "Oh... no thanks." Everyone in the room seemed to get real quiet and start staring at their desks. I realized that the teacher had said, "Do any of you have a pad?" because the girl was on her period.

    My most embarrassing thing:
    I was in job corps and we were required to take a communication class and I was never one for public speaking so naturally I didn't want to take the class.
    One day, we were given an assignment where we were assigned a job title and we had to make a presentation to the class about our "jobs".
    My assigned job was "Rocky Mountain Oyster Farmer" and at this time....I had no idea what rocky mountain oysters actually were. I thought they were legit shellfish.
    So there I am....a fear of public speaking, telling this entire class about my job and how much I love farming and eating these oysters.
    People were laughing and I'm pretty sure the teacher had his hand covering his face.
    I thought it went well and did a pretty good job at the presentation.
    The embarrassment hit when someone waited until after talked up this impromptu job to ask me if I knew what those oysters were and then informed me what they were.
    I felt the tone of red that my face turned.

    Most embarrassing moment: When I was in my mid-20's I took a girl I was dating at the time out for a bite to eat at a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant, it was raining that afternoon so we decided to get the food to go and head back to her place where it was dry and comfortable. Well, I started telling the girl who was taking my order what we wanted and to be cute and win a few points I told the girl that it was for "my name" and...for whatever reason I got lost in the girl's eyes and blanked when it came to my date's name. I just stared at the the girl and she blushed, I totally blanked and I guess my date took offense to this and stormed out of the restaurant and of course...there were a bunch of guys in construction on their lunch break watching the whole thing, they, in unison started laughing themselves to tears. By the time I paid for the food, she somehow caught a cab and was gone. Needless to say, we were no longer dating a couple hours later. Their laughter still haunts me...

    Most embarrassing story: I moved into my new house and my parents had this giant tub in there bathroom and a tv mounted to the wall. My mom would sometimes allow me to take a bath in it, and on this particular time I was really hooked on this show I don’t remember what it was but I was so intrigued. That was when I had to use the restroom now the toilet was just a few feet way, but I could not talk my eyes off the tv. I pooped in the bathtub and proceeded to watch my show unbothered. As time passed my mom walked in and found me sitting in brown water. She was so mad I had to clean the tube and was never allowed to take another bath in her tube. I was 6. 😳😅

    Alright Cam. I'll give you an embarrassing story, I'll go harass Foureyes in echange, please listen - betterhelp is NOT a good company. They've settled lawsuits and paid fines for violating patients privacy, and people in the LGBTQ community have been outed to loved ones by therapists who broke confidentiality. I get having to pay the bills, but please there are better sponsors.
    I was taking martial arts when I was 20, and during my black belt exam, in front of my senseis, the girl I liked, the friends I had in class, I split my pants doing a high kick. I didn't have a replacement pair, and they didn't have one in my size (thick legs) so I ended up putting on a brave face and finishing the test. As my sensei said "conditions in the real world are rarely perfect either."

    It’s a shame to see a channel I’ve enjoyed for a while take the Better Help sponsorship. I thought it was possible that maybe you just weren’t aware quite how sinister a company they are, but after reading your replies to others commenting and voicing their objections, it seems clear that you don’t really care. While a few people unsubscribing may not affect your bottom line, I feel like when there are a fair amount of comments speaking about the negative impact this company has had on many people, you should take notice and do some research rather than respond with sarcastic comments. It’s completely understandable that you would want to take on sponsorship, but when you have such a large following, it’s incumbent upon you to do research on the products and services you support. I’m disappointed in your approach to those trying to explain their stance and I hope you take the time to reflect upon that and are more careful about what you advertise in the future.

    Biking up Glisan
    In the late 70’s I’d park my car, 5 days a week @ my Aunt Winnie’s N.W. Glisan home & ride my bike 20 blocks to & from work. One sunny evening I wore my red, green & white peasant skirt, which I’d gather up like gauchos & sit on.
    I’d recently turned 30 & riding uphill on one way Glisan, I smiled back at the drivers. One sporty car with 2 young men passed me, talking, laughing & looking my way… then I passed them & again at the next light. Feeling rather youthful, I laughed, enjoying their attention.
    Arriving at my car, Winnie was nearby, picking her figs. She looked up, asking “Did you realize your skirt is unzipped in the back?”

    Many, many years ago, when I was first starting my journey into medicine, I was working at a hospital as an orderly. I walked into a room late one afternoon and I saw a man that was supposed to be in the first bed, on the floor, on his hands and knees scurrying about the floor with his rear end toward the bed. Instinctively, I thought he dropped something, and I got down on my hands and knees, and I started looking around on the floor and under the bed. I asked him "did you drop something?" "can I help you find something?" the man looked at me and actually tapped me on my head and he said sternly "get out of my way, I'm trying to get to the bathroom!!" and as I move to the side, he scurried across the floor toward the bathroom... he had no legs 🫣
