Yousef's Podcast

Hello, everybody! Welcome back to another episode of Yousef's Podcast! So obviously, you've noticed that I haven't uploaded a podcast episode in a long time; and when I say a long time, I mean I haven't uploaded a podcast episode since June 11th, 2022! And this episode is being published on June 11th, 2023! That's one entire year if you can believe it! So why I haven't been recording new episodes lately for my podcast is because...Listen more to find out why!

This is the first episode in this season 3. I tell everyone I have been working on. It's called Going To Naz's Bar Mitzvah, and you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/_hRlw3wpqHc. Let me know if the link doesn't work. Anyways, I also tell them how many videos I have so far, but obviously, it's not up to date. At one point, my sister accidentally cuts in, talking, but not for long. If you want to know how many videos I have, click here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOBk1vu-VW5oqfoDF7kAfzg Go on, click it, and be sure to subscribe!

My new YouTube channel is called Yousef - The Second Generation. I made it up myself. It has 12 videos: How To Add A Progress Bar In WeVideo, Barbie Doll Commercial Vintage 1960's Style, Yousef’s Name With Claymation, The Lego Fight Trailer, My Morning Routine, My Morning Routine Clean Version, The Lego Fight Action Preview HD, Lego Car Stop Motion, Snake: Attack For The Apple, How To Make A Folded Piece Of Paper In SketchUp, How To Make The Red SketchUp Logo, and lastly, How To Make A Rounded Cube In SketchUp. 11 videos are public, 1 unlisted.

I just created a new YouTube Channel, but I do not know what to put for the name.

This episode has Adele Teeple, Pace Temple, and me talking about life at school, what has been going on at home, and recent tragedies. For example, my friend Alex recently died, and Adele just got her braces off. I also have other friends, and their names are mentioned in this episode.

I describe in detail how to open and install macOS Monterey. You go to Apple Menu > App Store, and then you search for macOS Monterey. If you have already downloaded macOS Monterey from the App Store, click open. Or, find the app Install macOS Monterey in the launchpad or the Applications folder in Finder. Either way, you double-click on the app, and you press continue. Then, you agree to the Terms of Use, select your disk, and enter your password. Next, it will start installing, and eventually, your computer will ask you to press restart.

I describe in detail how to download macOS Monterey if your mac is running High Sierra. You go to Apple Menu > App Store, and then you search for macOS Monterey. You then click download and wait 25-40 minutes for it to download. Download this right now by clicking this link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-monterey/id1576738294 and letting it download.

This song took a lot of effort to make. It has different instruments that change, but smoothly. It starts from drums to a synth, and it also has sound effects. It also features the song 19th floor by Bobby Richards, now available in the YouTube audio library! All sound effects were from free sound, and all music was from the soundtrap audio library, as well as YouTube Studio Audio Library.

In this episode, I explain the directions from the Zilker Neighborhood to O. Henry Middle School. I explain how to get there by bike, avoiding major city streets and the trails you will take. I have also added sound effects and changed the pitch of the voice. However, you might want to have a look at this document before biking:

In this episode, I edit Edgar Allen's audio recording of The Raven. First, I cut off mostly the end of the clip so it was only 2 minutes long. Next, I added music at the beginning and end, with an exponential fade. Then, I added sound effects accordingly, based on what was being said in the clip. Finally, I changed the pitch of the voice multiple times, but the pitch transitions were intentionally abrupt. I got the music and sound effects from Free Sound: https://freesound.org/
