Not of this World
The Whiskey Vault. And the sister channel, The Whiskey Tribe.
Rex and Daniel review whiskeys giving tasting notes and also going into the background of the spirit itself and the distillery that makes it a lot of times. And shenanigans, lots of shenanigans.
From watching these, I've learned a significant amount about the process, history, regions, etc of whiskey. And discovered some wonderful bottles from what they have reviewed.

I don't subscribe to any channels, but if I want to kill a few minutes, I'll check out Honest Trailers. The style of humor can get a little repetitive if you watch it a lot, but it's usually good for a laugh.

Otherwise, I just search and watch whatever.

Police Activity - I'm currently hooked. It's like Live PD with gunfire.
Demolition Ranch - The best "do not try this at home" firearms channel on the web.
Uncle Tony's Garage - Entertaining old school car repair and restoration.

If I like any channel it is this one. My daughter loves watching it. Maybe also the Hackers/ninja folks... Chad and V I think.

JRE Clips.

The Joe Rogan Experience but only highlighted clips from 2-20 minutes instead of the whole 2-3 hour podcast.

Have you seen the JRE Toons? Someone pulls outrageous 1-2 minute clips out of the show and animates them. They are quite entertaining.

Antonelli Baseball

I've been hooked on this guy's videos for a while. Matt Antonelli is a former first round pick of the San Diego Padres. He made it to the majors but was never able to put together a good career.
He has a lot of instructional videos for coaches or players but the videos I like are the ones where he takes and answers different questions on what it's like to be a professional baseball player (and he's got tons of these videos). He has stories about hall of famers, what a typical game day is like for a major leaguer, what a typical off day is like, what road trips are like, what interacting with fans is like, explanations of the ins and outs of the game, what it's like being traded or sent down, how they get paid, relationship with the manager, why players do certain things at certain times, differences between each level of the minor leagues, what spring training is like, etc. He's pretty honest that he sucked as a major league player and even has a whole video talking about why he never got called back to the majors.
He's just got a lot of interesting content. If you're a baseball person, check him out.

No subscriptions but have traveled down the worm hole lately watching people play slot machines and their winnings. Watching these makes it seem like it’s super easy to win money playing certain slots but how many hours and hours and thousands of dollars have they lost to get the 15 minute clips that they get hand pays?

Check out Jomboy Media. He does brief, but in-depth breakdowns of baseball ejections and big performances and other things. Great lip reader too.

HAHAHA so I've been watching a few of this guy's videos over the last couple weeks. That's some CIA level lip reading!
