Hey there! Just wanted to drop in and give you a quick heads up about an exciting announcement. Joe & Nic’s Road Trip is changing their channel name! Don’t worry though, everything else about the channel will stay the same. We’ve been thinking about this for a while now, and we feel that the new name better reflects the content of the channel. Starting Sunday, April 30th, you’ll see the new name prominently displayed.
Let me give you a little background. The channel originally started as a weird news hub called Lord’s Photo, but YouTube didn’t quite agree with the content and removed monetization. That’s when Joe and his wife Nicole decided to embark on a travel journey, creating amazing videos that have gained a lot of traction. So, after some discussions and suggestions, they settled on the new name Joe & Nic’s Road Trip. Pretty cool, right? So mark your calendar for April 30th and don’t forget to let Joe know what you think in the comments section. Catch you in the next video!
Background
Origin of the channel
You may be wondering how this channel came to be. Well, it all started as a weird news channel called Lord’s Photo. The name was fitting at the time, as I used to be a bartender and my partner, Spot, had a knack for getting involved in strange news stories. It was a great name for the particular style of content we were creating.
Issues with demonetization
Unfortunately, YouTube wasn’t a big fan of our weird news videos. They kept demonetizing them, which posed a problem for us. In fact, at one point, we were forced to delete about 70 percent of our videos in order to maintain monetization. It was disheartening, to say the least, and it made us reevaluate the direction of our channel.
Transition to a travel channel
That’s when something unexpected happened – the COVID-19 pandemic. My wife, Nicole, and I decided to give this whole travel channel thing a shot. We never imagined it would be a success, but to our surprise, it took off. We’ve been on a long, years-long road trip, exploring different places and sharing our experiences with all of you.
Considering a New Name
Importance of a reflection of channel content
As we continued creating travel content, we started to feel that our channel name no longer accurately represented what we were all about. We wanted a name that would reflect the adventures and road trips we embarked on, a name that would resonate with our viewers and truly capture our essence.
Consulting with YouTube manager
To help us with this important decision, I reached out to my YouTube manager, who has been instrumental in guiding me through the ins and outs of managing my channel. He emphasized the importance of keeping the name simple yet reflective of our channel’s content. With his advice in mind, we set out in search of the perfect name.
Exploring potential names
After brainstorming and seeking feedback from several people, we finally settled on a name that we believe encapsulates our journey and captures the spirit of our channel. The new name we have chosen is ‘Joe & Nick’s Road Trip’. It’s straightforward, it’s catchy, and most importantly, it represents who we are and what we do. We did consider alternative options, such as ‘Joe and Nicole’s Road Trip’ or ‘Joe and Nick’s American Road Trip’, but we ultimately decided to go with ‘Joe & Nick’s Road Trip’ to allow for future adventures beyond the borders of the United States.
Announcement of the New Name
Introducing ‘Joe & Nick’s Road Trip’
So, without further ado, I’m thrilled to announce that we will be changing the channel name to ‘Joe & Nick’s Road Trip’. We truly believe that this new name better reflects what our channel is all about – the excitement, the joy, and the beauty of traveling and exploring new places. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Alternative name options considered
Before finalizing our decision, we did consider a few alternative name options. We thought about incorporating both of our names, such as ‘Joe and Nicole’s Road Trip’, to highlight the fact that it is a joint venture. We also contemplated emphasizing our focus on American road trips with the name ‘Joe and Nick’s American Road Trip’. However, in the end, we felt that ‘Joe & Nick’s Road Trip’ was the perfect blend of simplicity and inclusiveness.
Implementation Date
Changing the channel name on April 30th

Impact on Subscribers
Continued subscription to the channel
Rest assured, this name change will not affect your subscription to our channel. You will still be subscribed to ‘Joe & Nick’s Road Trip’, and you will continue to receive notifications and updates about our latest videos.

In addition, our videos will still appear in your feed as usual. They may have a new name attached to them, but the content will remain the same. We want to make this transition as smooth as possible for all of you, so you can continue to enjoy our travel adventures without any hiccups.
