After years behind a microphone, why does YouTube feel like starting from scratch?I can host four hours of live talk radio, but building an audience on YouTube has me questioning habits I’ve spent decades developing.

TikTok made me the “dating guy”—but I’m not even dating. Dating after 50 looks different when you enjoy being single and don’t want to give up your peace.
One casual post asking where Florida singles hang out led to several videos that took off and roughly 3,000 new TikTok followers. Suddenly, people wanted to know about my dating life. The truth? I like the life I’ve built on my own.
In this episode of The Jeff Adams Show, I get personal about being single by choice, recognizing relationship red flags, and rebuilding after painful relationships. I reflect on faith, doing the work to understand myself, and why I’m no longer rushing to find the next relationship.
I also share the idea behind On the Mend Meetups: friendship, community, and getting out with people without the pressure to find your next partner.
If you’re navigating dating over 50, starting over, or learning to enjoy your own company, this conversation is for you.
What would a relationship have to add to your life to make it worth giving up the freedom of being single?

Can ChatGPT edit your videos—and how much should creators trust the platforms they depend on? On The Jeff Adams Show, I share my experience with ChatGPT video editing in CapCut Desktop and discuss German in Venice (GIV), his reported YouTube strike, and the uncertainty facing content creators.
First, I explain what happened when I let AI take control of my computer to turn an existing episode into social media clips. The results surprised me. But when I handed it a more complicated Hollywood Studios vlog, the AI editing workflow struggled—and I stepped back in. It’s an honest look at CapCut video editing, AI tools, and why human creativity and experience still matter.
Then, I react to German in Venice’s account of a YouTube community guidelines strike involving an older Oktoberfest video. His experience raises questions about platform dependence, making money on YouTube, and building a creative career on something you don’t control.
From new technology to the realities of creating online, this episode explores why I’m excited about AI while staying grounded in what people bring to the process.

Andor Season 2 might be the best-looking Star Wars show Disney has ever made — the cinematography, the effects, all of it looks like a feature film. So why can't Jeff get through it? This week kicks off the new "What's Killing Me This Week" segment, where Jeff gets into the shows that drag even when they're gorgeous, the comfort TV he keeps coming back to, and the week that tried to take him out. Jeff digs into why Andor Season 2 is so slow despite looking stellar, whether Ted Lasso should've come back for another run, what makes a show "comfort TV," the streaming lineup he's watching this fall, and the moment at Epcot that reminded him exactly why he fell in love with film in the first place. Plus the TEMU "influencer" email that says he's finally moving the needle — and a brutal week of being sick that nearly derailed the whole thing. Real talk about TV, film, streaming, getting older, and finding the good stuff when everything else is dragging. If you've ever bailed on a show that looked amazing but couldn't hold you — this one's for you. Follow the show so you don't miss next week's "What's Killing Me This Week."

• this episode is about patience, aging, and the bubble that Christian creatives and CCM artists live inside. After 35 years in media, I've watched Christian music build a closed world — Christian labels, Christian radio, Christian festivals, Christian award shows — where an artist can have an entire career without ever being judged by anyone outside the faith. Does that bubble protect the art, or does it kill it? And why has patience gone out the window for all of us?
