This is the opening of the five hobby cases for the 10 times case break number one, 2023 Chrome hobby and choice, random player style. I guess I will, I'm not gonna, I guess I'll flash the names real quick, kind of scroll through. These are available on the site, but this is also not the one that we're flipping through cards, by the way. That'll, this is gonna be a separate recording and uploading. We're gonna stack all of the five cases. We're gonna rip them all open, stack all the cards here. That way when we start to break, we just start, I just start flipping through. And then the choice I will rip after that and that same recording. So this is only opening cards. That's all this is. There's no flipping through. This is just to show that we did it. All right, let's start ripping, ripping and stacking. So again, it's five hobby. That will rip here, stack it and the recording, upload that and then start the actual break, I guess you could say. There it is, there it is, there it is. All right, I'll figure it out as I go here. I'll figure it out as I go. So you see that you're good right where you are. All right, so again, top cam's panned out a bit so you guys can see what lane is doing. Everything's visible. Pearl packs, I hope we got some pearl packs. If we see a pearl pack, we'll just head it to the site, I guess. Yeah, it was weird, they didn't say that there were pearl packs, but then on the checklist it's like, there's pearls, they're like, oh, I wanted to start ripping through this. Dang it, I want to start ripping through right now. Oh man, not going to know if we see a big card, I don't even think. Unless it's an auto and it's a super, then we'll know. It's turned around, lane said if there's a super. If there's a super, I'm showing it, y'all. I'm just warning you now, if I see a super, I'm just showing it. Oh, that is a relic right there, we'll just leave that. That is indeed a relic. That's for sure a relic. They have those like Arizona Folly relics. We pulled that Leone super, I think, two years ago. I pulled a Glaber out of 21, Glaber super. Yeah, but they also have like rookie relic autos which are kind of cool. All right, well, if you guys like the sounds of pack opening, this is the stream to be watching right now. Yeah, if y'all have questions or you just want to chat, feel free to ask in the comments because we'll just be opening case after case. I might have my head down just ripping. Well, I think lane will keep his head up. Yeah, plenty of spots left in Bowman Chrome. On every platform. Yeah, fanatics, this one, channel two. We have 10K spots tonight, guys. That's the real spots left. There's a few PYTs daytime. Rich is on fanatics with a good few PYTs and some choice. There are some good deals on that platform, on our stream. Yeah, definitely do not miss out on the fanatics live deals. Go on fanatics live, compare our price in anybody's and you will see, you will see. Again, I was saying earlier, guys, I know a lot of people have been asking for it, but 9.20, so week from today, we expect there to be web purchasing and viewing available or at least dual streaming that we'll be able to do so we can stream on YouTube. And there will also be web purchasing for fanatics live. So that is... We'll help you all with Android because then you'll be able to just purchase on web browsing and view via YouTube. Yeah, and then Android, the app is not super far behind that, I believe, as well. So that's, that's big, that's big time. One in 10 cases has a pearl, gotcha. Or that one case of hobby that I ripped a few months ago that I had like two pearl packs. I was like, man, we broke it. Now we're not gonna see one for... There's the first brand in my A, I see. The Abase. I haven't even looked at the base cards. I'm just looking at the last card there. Yeah. Bowman. It smells different this year. I like the look of the box, to be honest. Is that our, that's our boy Elijah Green right there? Yeah, Elijah Green and our, an athlete. So not even one of the big chases on the first Bowmans. I'm sure the all other autos not in A would be super happy with some athletes, though. I would be. That's the cool thing about the rookies is usually the rookies are pretty big names. There's only a few that have autos and most of them are pretty good names. Oh my God, that'd be amazing, Shane. I don't know if that would be a...  Just loose cards, like a complete set. Oh yeah, not like good for the cards themselves. I just think that would be hilarious. It would make breaking super simple. Yeah, you'd all get PSA sevens, but... I don't even know who gets seven. PSA four to seven, average is like six. Okay, knife goes right across top of all six boxes. Of course, I start getting emails and stuff when we start. You emailed me. I will get you much later. Dude, Lane brought donuts today. I had a recent, a donut with chocolate frosting and like... Butterfinger or heat? I had the Reese's Pieces on top with like the peanut butter drizzle. That was pretty fire. I had half of it. I couldn't do a full one. That would've got me two hyped up, I think. I went with my go-to strawberry frosting with perky pebbles. That one's pretty fire. It was funny, I still have perky pebble ice cream in the freezer. I'm gonna have to save that because yesterday we had ice cream cake. Today I've had like half a donut. I just can't keep hitting the sugar like that. But it's ice cream, it's got a while before to eat it. I thought you were gonna say ice cream doesn't go bad. And I was gonna be like, I beg to differ. It also doesn't have like a great cover, so it's gonna be at freezer burnt after a bit, so. Just hope to do your tasting and redemption. I don't know if there's any redemption. Salas is live. I know we've seen his eat autos on eBay. I don't know of anyone else that is. Salas is actually selling for less than sure. When the product came out last year. That is insane to me. I'm sure he has a better prospect. Yeah. I don't disagree with that, but that's still crazy to me. I'm sure he has literally the number three overall prospect in these days. I thought he was two behind you. I guess it depends on where you look. He got passed by, he got passed by someone. It was insane. That doesn't prove to be the top five prospect. The top three picks in the draft are all top 10, I think, right? Or like top 15, depending on where, depending on where you look. Yeah, see, that's insane. But if Schienes was number six or seven and then Crease was either number two or four. Schienes is filthy. Schienes is going to be a dominant pitcher for a long time. Yeah, so we shall see. Again, we're just ripping. This is the first case as well, so. He's got like the moxie to him too. It's not just the like pitches. What's up, Carl? Carl? He's got like the demeanor about the confidence. He just waits until Sean gets here with his chain. Ridiculous. Dolphins and Pats play this weekend. Yeah, Cowboys, Jets play. Well, congrats on the two and no start. I'm not, I'm pretty nervous if I'm being honest. Jets defense? Jets defense is really good and Dak likes to throw turnovers. I don't think they're at risk of losing. I think it's going to be close. I said to my one buddy that's a Jets fan, I was like, I think that I could see a score of like 17-3. If the Jets can run the ball, they will still could be a playoff team, even with Zach Wilson. Well, the Cowboys don't know how to stop the run. So. That's true. Rizal will probably rush for 150 yards. It's weird. The Jets couldn't pass pro, but they could run block. I don't understand how there's such a disparity. Usually there's like lines that can be good at pass pro and not good at running, I don't know how there's such a disparity. It's mostly about your guard play. Shoot these all the way back. So just adjust as we go. It's chrome. I feel like we shouldn't stack a crazy high. Yeah, it's not like it's draft. Case two. I think this is what some people just watch our breaks for anyway is to see packs be open. They don't care about what's what's in them. ASMR. Exactly. You see how y'all how he spreads the boxes. He gives himself three and me nine. That's just how they're moved around. I don't know if you want to race me. No, not at all. It's been a long time since I've ripped packs. Lane's gonna be getting those breaker muscles back though. I was saying I've broken one time since May of 2022. Yep. Once. Lane will be taking over for Rich about halfway through the daytime on fanatics and he's on fanatics tomorrow. Lane's on all fanatics tomorrow. Yeah, I hope you guys missed me so to speak because I will be back breaking. Marz, what's up? Rob, how's it going? Yeah, congrats, Marz. That was definitely the guy to get. At least for you, for a Yankee, that is. Thank you to have a couple guys. After Brother Names. Ones is also very good. There's the first Alice I've seen. All right guys, get those spots for the 10 case or later. I'm on the same pace. You're getting sloppy. You're getting shaky. My coffee was too big. No such thing as too big a coffee, I think though. I've actually never had coffee in my life. I guess you don't need it then. I've never tried it. I've never had it, nothing. I think you are. Are you drink some tea though? I drink tea. I drink coffee. I was gonna say. I drink caffeine. Just never had coffee. Lane's got snapples on deck, dude. What's up, Jonathan? How's it going? Morning. I think I can feel the auto packs or at least the parallel packs at this point. Yes. We need Shawn to come in here and stomp on the trash again. Oh, I wish I could have been there for that. I wasn't there for it. I just see the photo. It's still, should we take that down? Oh, true. Dude. Oh man, we, as long as somebody has it saved, we can just toss the photo. No. But if nobody has it saved, I think we should probably. I'm leaving. We should leave it. Well, you should leave it, dude. In the middle of the match. That's why I stopped sliding the file my first time. You just leave it. I'll just pick them both up and move them back. I'm ready too. But again, guys, this is case two of five hobby cases we're ripping in this video alone. We'll end the recording, upload it. Then I'll start flipping through everything. And then the five choice will just be, they'll just be ripped at the end. We'll just rip those. That's no issue. But we want to get all the chrome ripped and stacked. So the rip time, the break time on that is super, super limited. This is going to speed things up overall. Expedite the process. Make it flow better. So come back like 10, 40. I was going to say we'll probably be done. 1040-ish, 1035, 1035 to 1045. That's the window you want to come back. You want to start seeing. If you don't want to watch us rip three more cases, though, box. You want to see product right now? Kyle's on channel two and Rich is on Fanatics Live. Rich has a good few spots left. Kyle has very few spots left. Yeah, Kyle's first like three or four were already full. Oh, you got my A out. Hell yeah, that's the Yankees gotta get. He's top five chase in the product. So who's the raised guy, Guerrero? And there's Celestin, there's the Reds guy. I had no idea until yesterday that Kalmanaro wasn't drafted by the Rigs. Oh, geez, who you drafted by the Guardians and traded. I finally got a hitting prospect and I traded him. Yeah. Well, they also traded Nolan Jones last year. Nolan Jones had like 280 for the Rockies. Okay, but Nolan Jones like, I get it's different. That was an experiment that did not work out. He was traded like three times before he actually landed with the Rockies. Yeah. And he's also like 25. He's not like setting a world on fire. Yeah, no, it's not junior Kim and R. They could use him though. All right, now Lane's got the pace. We're all like the exact same pace right now. He's ready. He's got it back. I don't know about Rich. I don't know about Rich. How's he doing over there, guys? I don't even have to scream up on my phone. How's he doing? I still, I cannot, I can't fathom it still that. Four plays in, Roger. Dude, I just don't. Oh, here's another patch. You see the guy that tweeted out? It was like, in one hour and a half, Aaron Rodgers is going to tear his Achilles. And then like in one hour and 24 minutes from the tweet he tore his Achilles. It's probably a joke about Jesus. That's that's not cool. No, it's actually insane. Not cool, man, but good God. Big boss are transcendent. And transcendent shouldn't transcend. It's so much fun. You can do a case this year. I hope. You should do the first one. Richard, that's the first one. Or at least usually. Usually. These stacks don't signify anything, by the way, guys, they're kind of just, it's all going to be mixed. We're not going to be able to differentiate. Oh, this was one case. That was a crazy case. There's no, there's none of that. What up, Tony? Chasing Joey Barton this set. Yes. I know where the Joey Barton Super is. I don't know how much money to save us on trash bags every, every month. You always joke up. Sean's Sean's going home. Getting in his trash can. He has to be off for the Grouch for Halloween. First of all, he's grouchy sometimes. When we were like, you want to listen to some Adele on the way up to the national. He's like, I'll jump out of the car. And then he literally was listening to Adele. Yeah. Then Adele song came on and he did bad and high. He was like singing along. Yeah. Just so you all know, rolling in the deep came on, which is a banger by the way. That's, that's a fire song. And listen to it. No, no issue. Case three coming up. Case three coming up. Got doughnuts for the crew. So that the breakers are in a good mood and hit something big. My friend responded, come on, bro. We're onto you. There's no excuse needed for sweets. You just wanted doughnuts. That is, that's, that's fact. They got you Lane. I mean, dude, we had, ice cream cake yesterday. We had two, we're still two. No. But really good. We have an issue right now. Yeah, he's always ripping. No, like that's what I meant by live, like. Geez, that actually went fast. Well, people are probably realizing we got incredible pricing. No, there's only 18 spots left in Rich's next break. Those spots are going to go quick. There's good deals on our fanatics live. There are really good deals on fanatics live. Lane said he was going to buy me the Padres. I split the Padres with you. That's also a joke because they're not available anyway. They're not available. I've seen the Padres for less than $500 in one break. Were they like available? No. That's insane. I have not seen the Padres available. You can maybe sneak into some small breaker streams, but I don't even know about that. The small breakers that I know of, there's like three teams gone in their breaks and it's the Padres. Solid, dude. Yeah. I've been 10 years old in double A. He's literally playing against like 20 to like 24 year olds. Yeah, it's wild. What's up, Sin? What's up, Fred? How you doing, man? Now we're doing well. And soon you'll be able to purchase via web browser, but unfortunately today you have to have the app. So yeah, guys, I've been saying we expect September 20th, a week from today, there to be web purchasing available on Fanatics Live. That is the targeted date for that. So that's what we're hoping for. Also, if any of you purchase regularly or just add all on the Fanatics Live app and you have a tax ID number to be tax exempt, make sure you send that in to us so that we can send it to Fanatics to make your account tax exempt. So that is a huge step so that you're closer to like hour pricing from regular purchases on the site. Let me borrow your tax exempt, Lane. No, you still have to pay taxes on it. Thanks. It's just a different way of paying it. Get it right off, I think. It's your business, yes. I'm not a business. Like if I don't hit, it's just a write off. It's in that loss. It's an expense. Yeah, it's a business expense. I need to start a business. Yes. I don't even know what I would call it. Horsemoons.cards. In less than an hour? I don't think even if I had eight hands and arms I could do this in less than an hour. If we had a third person ripping, it would still take longer than that because there's still five choice cases. That takes an hour alone, I would think, at least. Especially if they're in slider boxes. That's a nice hit. What did he hit? Purple, I don't know. All right. I didn't see the knee, it was so purple. Ready to pull a gold, a gold-drashed shimmer? I'm pulling a super today. A yellow, bluegrass, celestial superfractor? I'm telling you, I'm pulling a super today. 16 to go in Rich's next break. I'm gonna drop you guys' link for 10 case number two tonight in a second. Tellin' y'all, those spots are going to go quick. I think I might get a backpack cover. I think it's four boxes is the height we're going for here. 10 case number two is down to 85. That was at 96 when we started. So in half an hour, 11 spots have come in. Again, that starts the evening stream. Let's get that full for Sam for tonight. Landon, I'll be back in here rippin' at the same way, I think, to start it. We'll get three people rippin'.  Our house got cleans, got donuts, three strings, bow and chrome. Probably like eight superfractors in this break already. Brennan, what's up buddy? It's been a minute. Oh man, what up, Brennan? Oh, whoa, who's that? Andy Perez. All right, all right. 15 to go for Rich. Hey guys, for the next live, good deals with Rich. I think it's Rich and Hallie, I think. Yeah, Rich and Hallie. That's the duo right there. That's the power team. You guys see all the decor behind us now? You see that? That was all Hallie. If you look over me and Lane to the right of Shaft, you see some decor, yeah? What's up, Dan? I hope you've been well. Dan, what's up buddy? Dan's been poppin' into the sports stream every now and then. Takin' a little, he's givin' us some time as well as gaming. I see you goin' for those walks every day, Dan. Hope you're enjoying them. The big chase in this, Fred, is gonna be Ethan Salas. He is a Padre's 17-year-old catching prospect. In double A. In double A. So I'm not sure how much you know about baseball, so it's gonna be a lot of sound. So don't necessarily pay attention to his hitting numbers yet. They advanced him to double A to improve and work on his behind-the-plate mechanics. His bat is perfectly fine. They just rushed him through single A to get him to double A. Yeah, so he'll probably be in double A for a little bit next. He'll probably make his debut until like 2025, I would think. At most, I would.  And he's a cat. If he makes his debut at 20 as a catcher, like he's literally on a faster pace than Adley Rutzman. It's not saying he'll be better, but... I don't know. Oh, Adley also played four years in college, though. Yup. And was arguably the best player in college. Also not sure if Salas will stick a catcher. It's very, it's so early that, who knows if he'll stick a catcher or maybe... I think that's why they rushed him to double A to see if he can be a catcher. And then if not, they're like, yeah, I just learned how to field him. We'll just move even faster. We'll become a first baseman, our short stuff. We'll be the next to Kuu and your Soto. We'll just come up when you're like 19. Holiday's gonna be up at 20. Well, that's a short stuff. What's gonna happen? Is Gunnar just gonna play outfield or something? Or second? Gunnar's really good at defense, though. Yeah. They'll make it work. When you have guys like that, you make it work somehow. Chris, what's up, man? What's up, Chris? That's the bait. Him and I were chatting earlier this morning. Who we're going after and who the guys are. And any sport, yeah. So, Solis has the chase. Brandon Maella for the Yankees. Joendry Vargas is probably the second best behind Solis. He's a Dodgers prospect. There's a few other links, too. And then you still have Rookie Chase and Bowman Kroma as well. So, you can still chase like Adley Rochman, Gunnar Henderson and some others. Yeah, like Ramar said, a knee sprain shut down Solis for the year. All right, so this finishes up case three. What the box that lane is on. Fourth case of hobby. Marco Vargas, huh? He's a good one. I've been to Marlin's, yeah. Marlin's got a few guys in this. Who's that gigantic kid for the Phillies in this? Forget his name. Delacruz or something? Yep. It's another Delacruz. Dude's like six, seven or six, eight. My buddy actually got him, I believe. We're not in a space to open this. We'll start going to the right side of this. Three, that was the third, this is the fourth case right here that we're opening now. So we have one more left to open after this and then you all get to see cards. Not just stacked up, but. Not just cards being opened. The front of the cards. Oh, there you go. Atomic Javier Valdez. All right, all right.  Yeah. I'm pretty happy. Any PYT atomic is very tall. Yeah. He has a lot of potential, I know that. Yeah, there's still spots left, y'all. If you're looking for random team, there's all random team spots are still available over on Fnatic's 150th spot. That is insane to me because it's such, it's like the pricing is so good. Think about it that way. Most places are charging $500 for the Padres. You could buy a random team spot, and get the Padres for 150th.  That's a tall, why is that stacked taller? Oh, there's a relic. I was like, why is that stacked taller? So relics are dummy thick in this. But yeah, good deals on Fnatic's live, everybody. Which one did they get some good pricing over there? Oh, I see a numbered card. I'm not peaking, I'm not peaking. I saw the numbering, I didn't see a, it wasn't a one-of-one, but I saw. Of course it's cheating. I saw the serial numbers, I didn't see the name. Of course it's cheating. It was higher numbered, it wasn't like, it wasn't like super low. It was at least two digits, which could be low. It was at least two digits. Maybe I saw, actually they're all, they're all, they're all at least in that because it has the zero-zero. Yeah. Of course it's cheating. Hello, Halle. Somewhere over here. They're right under the 240 points. Did you realize Lane is also matching us, Halle? He's wearing the gray as well. Gray and black goes fine together. I just didn't want to wear jeans. It's too damn hot to wear jeans. Yeah, you could probably, yeah, they cut up smaller, yeah, that's good. They cut up smaller ones. I think that we need to order some. I think they're not headed. Tell Cortese, and also tell her to get us some swifters. For places like Swiffer Things, Refills. It came to the league. Couldn't tell if there was a lava or not. I keep thinking he's pulling super, but it's the Insta.  About to play golf. Yeah, we got the nice Nike polos on. I'm learning how to golf. Relic, so it's like a relic per case about? Maybe a little less. I think we've had, yeah, it has been a four relics. I think. Yeah, that's my goal is to actually learn golf before I turn 30. That's not gonna happen for me. That's not one of my goals though. Sean wants me to, Sean keeps telling me to go play golf. I'm like, that requires going in the sun, sir. Yeah, but you can drink. Yeah, you can drink while I'm not playing golf. No. Guys, yes or no? Should I play golf? Yes. We know Lane's answer. We have one more case to rip and then we'll start flipping through everything, Garrett. So another 15 minutes, 10, 15. I'm just rip, all right. I'm getting packs out right now. Dude, I'm trying to get out of it. I'm getting packs out of boxes. Then I'll start ripping all the packs.   Do it, you won't.  We're in Florida. Also get wooden, wooden clubs. Do it, you won't. I'm hitting the drive is like 150 yards. Y'all originally has 12 spots left in his next break. You're bringing 10 Ks to fastest? Kyle's gonna lose, Kyle's not involved in a 10 Ks-er. I think Forrest would rip it the fastest. I think I would be second. I'll have to see how Sam does. He opens packs weird though. Not like weird, but it's not as good for like straight up stacking.  Yeah, we ripped quite a bit of moment. Kyle's gonna lose. Honestly, no Rich would lose. Yeah. Rich got, Rich got breakers claw, so. Y'all nine to go for Rich in his next break. Natics live, good deals, good deals. Nine to go. These are the last two boxes of Ks-4 right now, guys. We rip one more, upload and the recording and start the break. Oh, there we go. There's a nice hit. Brian Rincone. Rincone's good. Green. Yeah, any green first. That's good stuff. Although the one that I hit in 2021 Bowman Chrome is a nothing and it's got a bad corner. I've just. But did you hit it in 2021? Yes. And it was good then. I was the only, there's only Bowman box I think I've ever ripped still. How much 2021 Bowman Chrome I ripped? I, oh, I remember. This guy was going. And I hit nothing. You got it, I'm not gonna. We got a 10 Ks-4 later, guys. It has, whoa, 76 to go? Oh my God. Let's go, y'all rock. Dude, every time I, that was two cases and it went down nine spots. Y'all rock. What's my method? Just take all the packs out. Well, there's no room for me to do that right now. But those last three boxes, I think it went a little faster. I went the same places. Yeah. I don't need to change anything. This is the hustle though, because I want to get this, this ripping. I don't want it to actually rip. And it didn't go bug rich and stuff. Ladies is going to be floating around. Just check it in. Let's see where the hits are being pulled. Coming in. Can we tell me Kyle just pulled this? Rich just pulled this. I'm like, damn. I gotta get ready for the show this week. I keep forgetting you're going to Comic-Con. Yeah. There's also a TCB Fest in Tampa. This weekend? Yeah. Why would they do that on the same weekend? I don't know. In the exact same area of the state, basically. Like, oh, Cala in Tampa, like an hour and a half apart. Harper invited me to Tennessee, Florida game. You should go to that. I was like, well, I'll be in Cala. You should go to that instead. He was like, that's pretty close. Are you going to tailgate Comic-Con? No. That would be a bot move, I think. Sab and I were talking about driving up to Clemson to go to the Clemson FSU game next weekend. You should do that. I don't think we can anymore. You're right. Yeah. No, you're right. Especially Kyle. Yeah. And me. Yeah. That was our plan. I'll go up the link in a second. I'm not waiting to buy tickets yet. Yeah, don't do that. LaytonSportsCards.com. So you can find it. I'll give you the link. Yo, there's only eight spots left for Rich's next break. That would have been my first leg. It's a good one. I would expect Florida State to win pretty easily at this point. I'm just got a good, a pretty solid defense, but college don't matter if your offense ain't good. No. It's the exact opposite of the pros. Yeah, everybody can score points. In the pros, you need defense, not offense. That's why I'm not too worried about the Jets. The defense is really good. They will still beat all the bad teams they play because they have a great defense. That's like the Patriots. I'm not worried about them playing like, like I'm worried about Tyreek Hill. But like when they play a team like the Jets, I'm not worried about the Patriots now.  Gary Wilson's a beast. Tyreek Hill's a different animal though. Tyreek Hill can break the game open. Tyreek Hill scares me. Tyreek Hill literally in a press conference was like, in the past I just used my speed and outran everyone. Now I actually watch tape and I'm like, understanding how to just beat people. Yes, it's not good for defenses. No. It'd be cool to see him and Jettas both go over 2K this year. It'd be cool to see him and Jettas on the same team. Daryl. Oh my God. Another Reiner Aries. That's the Giants, Chase. I think that's the only Giants hits. It's the second or third one I've seen. I think that's the only Giants first bowman in the entire thing, right? Y'all seven left with Rich. First break available is spot to self with some seven to go. Kyle's got PYTs on channel two. He's only got a handful of teams left, everybody. Just a handful for the daytime. And then tonight, all the choice cases are full. It's just another 10 cases just like this and plates and patches football returns. It's the first time plates and patches has been standalone since 2020. Keep in mind with no stroud and no young autos, you're gonna have those gigantic jumbo patches of those guys in these products. So it's the first huge potential Chase there. And then for all the other rookies, Veejaan, Smith and Jigba, whoever else, there's the first patch autos of them. Also the first time ever we're getting RPAs in plates and patches. Yes, the first patch autos of a lot of players too. I don't think we found any pearl packs. I would assume they're totally different like they were in Bowman. Yeah, unfortunately, we're not looking at the tops of the packs. I would assume they're smaller and like they actually say pearl on it. But there was no extra packs in any of the boxes. And not yet. Anything like that. So if it's every 10 hobby cases then that's okay, that's totally normal. We didn't see one. But hopefully we see at least a couple today in the building. I've had these since the 2021 national. I just don't really wear them that much. I said that and then I looked, that's up to you and I was like, those are not. Oh yeah, the floor of my car is a little dirt in there. I don't clean my car that much. I don't do that. I just don't, I don't care. But I'm looking at the back of my shoe and it's only the one shoe. And I'm like, oh, that's where I drive. Got it. But it's also Florida. It rains so much. You could just walk out to your car and if you gotta go through any grass, it's over. It's a done deal. Hat patch, that sounds cool. Yeah, a lot of the fall league relics there's like ball relics and hat relics and really cool patches. So it is cool that this is the one Bowman where you do get relics. In my opinion, better than just a regular insert auto for sure. Especially since some of the rookies have like one of the promo photos is an Adley patch auto which is pretty nice, which I think would be his first patch auto. Unless Tribute had some, because he played a lot, they've seen him before, so maybe I can't even remember doing the Lord's work. I don't know about that Vern, but we're ripping some packs. These are the last, going on to the last two boxes right here guys. Yeah. Then we upload this recording and get ready to do the actual break. So pretty much same case when you open all the boxes first or individually. Yeah. Okay, both on the last box here. We need to just program a robot. That'd be sick. Breaker bot, open these cases, takes like 10 minutes. I just show up in a rip. I don't want to get a breaker AI, that'd be scary. No. No. One out of one. I guess I have just... All right, so that does it for the five hobby case opening. Going to upload this and then we'll get started with the rip. You can send it. Yeah, yeah.


Hello, hello, writers! I'm Kristin Kiefer, author of fantasy fiction and creative writing resources, and you are listening to the Well-Sturried podcast, where I share insights, encouragement, and actionable advice designed to help you craft sensational novels and build your best writing life. Always in 30 minutes or less, so you can get back to writing, of course. Ready for the show? Let's get talking. All right, all right, come on in, friends. Today is May 31st, 2017, and you are listening to the Well-Sturried podcast. Thank you for joining me, by the way. If you are gearing up to publish your first book, or maybe just considering your publishing options and what path you will take when the day comes for you to publish, then today's episode is a great one for you to listen into. Today we are talking about the pros and cons of traditional publishing, and if you'd like to read along as you listen in, you can visit well-sturried.com-publishing-pros-p-r-o-s. I'll leave that link for you in today's episode description as well. Now, as always, without any further ado, let's dive in. Determining which publication path is right for you isn't a decision you should make lightly. Both the traditional and independent publishing industries offer writers the opportunity to share their work with the world. Despite lingering self-publishing stigma, neither path is inherently better than the other, and both have their fair share of advantages and disadvantages. Understanding what each path to publication entails is key to making the best decision for you and your stories, regardless of which option you might find yourself drawn to at first glance. If you haven't already, make sure to check out our podcast episode on the pros and cons of self-publishing fiction. But if you'd rather learn about the advantages and disadvantages of publishing traditionally, then stick around and keep on listening. First up, we're going to talk about the advantages of traditional publishing. Because industry gatekeepers determine who's in and who's out, traditional publishing is often seen as the more legitimate and professional publishing option for aspiring authors. If your manuscript can land a book deal, then you'll know your work is truly good enough, right? I talk at length about why this belief can be so damaging in our episode on choosing which publishing path is right for you, which I've linked in today's transcript. But I wanted to bring this to your attention again now, because buying into the idea that traditional publishing is the only real way to publish can skew how you view the following advantages and disadvantages of building a career within the industry. Remember that good enough is a subjective concept, and that the only thing a book deal can really prove is the potential marketability of your manuscript at a single point in time. Cool? Okay, now let's break down the pros and cons of traditional publishing. The first advantage, literary agents support. Most traditionally published authors are represented by literary agents who help them navigate the industry and develop their careers. Literary agents are known for shopping manuscripts around to publishers and negotiating contracts on author's behalves. Good literary agents also champion their authors through every step of the publishing process, providing guidance and support through deadlines, book tours, project development, and beyond. Without the support of a literary agent, some writers may find it difficult to maintain clarity and momentum as they seek long-term publishing success. Self-published authors may also find it difficult to develop subsidiary income streams, such as expanding into foreign language markets without agent support. Advantage number two, a built-in publishing team. When an author inks a book deal, they can rest assured that their publisher will assign their book to a team of professional editors, prefreaders, formatters, and cover designers who will work to bring the best version of their book to life. Self-published authors don't have the benefit of this assurance. Instead, it's their responsibility to build their personal team of publishing professionals and to pay to commission each service upfront. Speaking of which, advantage number three, little to no upfront costs. Unlike self-published authors, those who go the traditional route don't have to fork over any cash to usher their books into the world. Traditional publishers take on all production expenses end of story. That said, some writers aspiring to publish traditionally still pay out of pocket to give their books a strong shot at success. For example, an author might pay to have their book edited professionally before querying agents or to attend literary conferences. Many published authors also foot the bill for some of their book's marketing expenses. Advantage number four, cash advances. Most book deals include signing bonuses called advances. Income the author is guaranteed to earn regardless of how well their book sells. Though many factors impact the scope of an advance, debut authors who've signed with well-established publishing houses can generally expect to receive between five and 15,000 US dollars, which will then be paid out in installments over the course of a year as the author fulfills contract requirements. Advantage number five, greater visibility and reach. It isn't impossible for self-published authors to see their book shelved in physical bookstores, to negotiate international book deals and subsidiary contracts, or to book author events like tours and readings. Nevertheless, traditionally published authors are far more likely to experience these achievements. The visibility and reach that traditional publishers can provide may also help authors develop their careers more quickly, earn critical acclaim via awards and reviews, and become a household name in fiction. Advantage number six, more time to write, theoretically. While every successful author must devote a significant portion of their time to marketing their work, traditionally published authors don't also have to spend time coordinating every aspect of their book's production. That's why they have a publisher, and perhaps more time on their hands to write as well. Advantage number seven, greater opportunities for acclaim. Some hallmarks of a traditional writing career simply aren't available to self-published authors, including the opportunity to win world-renowned book awards, garner popular starred reviews, and appear on many bestseller lists. And finally, advantage number eight, greater marketing assistance. While all authors must play an active role in marketing their books, those who publish traditionally may have the benefit of working with their publisher's marketing department to expand their book's reach, and the better their book sells, the more ongoing marketing support they'll likely receive. With all of that said, let's talk about the disadvantages of traditional publishing. After listening to all of those advantages, you might find yourself thinking that some of these pros sound more like cons. Maybe you don't like the idea of working with an assigned publishing team or earning an advance that's paid out over such a long period of time. Regardless of subjectivity, here are eight aspects of traditional publishing that most would consider a disadvantage rather than a benefit. Disadvantage number one, lower royalty rates. Self-published authors typically enjoy 60 to 80% royalty rates. Meanwhile, traditionally published authors may take home as little as 12 and a half cents for every dollar their book earns. Why so little? Firstly, publishers take a large cut to cover production expenses. Royalty rates for traditionally published authors typically fall somewhere between 15 and 25% depending on format. For example, paperback, hardback, ebook, or audiobook. Most literary agents then earn a 15% cut of their author's earnings. It's also important to note that authors only start receiving royalties after their book earns out. That is, after sales exceed their initial advance. And that number factors in the publisher's cut and their literary agents rate. In other words, if an author receives a $5,000 advance, their book might need to earn upwards of $40,000 before the author ever sees another penny. For more information on advances and royalties, I've linked to a great breakdown by Alan Jacobson in today's episode transcript, so be sure to check that out. Disadvantage number two, infrequent paydays. While self-published authors receive monthly royalty payments, traditional publishers typically only pay out twice a year. Combined with the fact that authors can only estimate how much they've made before it hits their bank account, these infrequent paydays can complicate personal finances. Disadvantage number three, loss of creative control. Most traditionally published authors have little to no say over how their book is presented, including its title, cover design, back cover blurb, and even where it will be stocked in bookstores. Think a literary novel shelved as romance or a historical drama packaged as a murder mystery. Sometimes publishers even insist upon content changes that would drastically alter the author's vision for the story. And though a literary agent may be able to intercede on the author's behalf, a loss of creative control is often inevitable. Disadvantage number four, a long publishing process. A self-published author may be able to prepare their book for publication in as little as a few months, and listing a book for sale online usually takes less than 48 hours. Not so for traditionally published authors. When a writer inks a book deal, their manuscript is added to the end of a long publishing timeline. Though 18 months is a common ETA, a book may take upwards of three years to finally appear on shelves. Disadvantage number five, rejection, rejection, rejection. Breaking into the traditional publishing industry is far from easy. Most authors receive dozens, if not hundreds, of rejections from both literary agents and publishers before their book finally makes it to print. And rejection may not end there. One signed book deal is no guarantee that a publisher will issue a contract for subsequent books, especially if the first book doesn't sell well. So much rejection and instability can make pursuing a career in the traditional publishing industry a mentally and emotionally exhausting endeavor. Disadvantage number six, loss of rights. Self-published authors retain the rights to all of their work, but when a writer signs a book deal, they sell the rights to their material to their publisher, which can prove a major issue in many situations. For example, an author might be forced to make revisions that don't align with their creative vision. They might also struggle to regain their rights in the wake of a shake-up in the publishing house that left their manuscript in the lurch, or if the publisher declines to pick up additional books in their series. Disadvantage number seven, complicated contracts. Book deals and subsidiary contracts can be complicated to say the least. A good literary agent helps authors navigate these contracts, but all the legalese can nevertheless result in less than ideal circumstances, especially if the author doesn't fully comprehend their rights and the nature of the industry before going into the signing process. And finally, disadvantage number eight, the ever-shifting industry. Publishing is a messy industry. All authors will experience the ebb and flow of trends, but the traditional publishing industry can be especially turbulent. Literary agents come and go. Publishing houses fold and merge. Acquisitions editors quit, switch publishers, or rise through the ranks. Among other messy industry shifts, these shake-ups can leave authors in a lurch, without an agent, with a manuscript in limbo, or with a contract they can't escape. In many ways, the traditional publishing industry is a true give and take. Despite many attractive benefits, the drawbacks to pursuing a traditional writing career are far from inconsequential. But, of course, self-publishing has its own pros and cons that are also worth exploring. Think traditional publishing might be right for you?

what's up everybody I hope everyone is doing well all right and if you are watching on YouTube go ahead and message me let me know that you're out there shoot me a comment oh there we go that's better sorry guys it was I'm having quite the morning but I hope you are doing well and if you as I mentioned are hearing this loud and clear over in YouTube land shoot me that message in the comments let me know that everything is working properly oh right so a couple things that I wanted to discuss today I guess I will give you guys wow the hair is a mess today it's Tuesday and I can't get it together guys all right well a couple of things that I want to discuss today it's interesting I have a David Goggins story I wanted to to make my piece with with Tom Brady I basically I will get to that we'll get to that but and then I was I wanted to chat at the end a little bit about some tips that you can use to develop and cultivate better listening skills but because I can tell you that in the land of self development certainly in the land of reaching your true potential it is one part of you's strength training and eating right and sleeping right and everything that is going to make you a better person but also your ability to bring others in so your ability to make connections build rapport but also listening because listening in and itself though it's a small item it's just giving somebody your attention if you've been following the art of charm and what we do you understand that the idea of being a high-value person is to be able to give attention approval and acceptance to others that's the value that you have as a human being in a herd animal that you can give others that allows them to connect with you and allows them to open up listening is a skill that to be developed can open those doors can open new opportunities for you just by being a good listener so I am going to end today with a little discussion about that so let me know how you guys are doing shoot me a comment let me know you're out there seeing someone gave me a thumbs up I appreciate it as I first how we going live every Tuesday I'm trying to keep my streaming chops up I'm trying to hopefully build up a bit of an audience for Tuesdays or for live streaming because I really enjoy doing it and also I've been if you've noticed I've been taking clips out of these videos and making other content with them so and I'm still trying to work out that process it is a it is a way to to record some things to do something live and then take some comp build some content from that from these sessions we'll see how that goes I enjoy doing it I'm a little bit overwhelmed with the mission that I had taken on in the new year with helping and working to build our YouTube channel out so it's going to be a process I appreciate it so thank you guys for that it's looks like through y'all tuning in alright so here's the here's how I woke up and this brings me to David Goggins so I have been doing some work on our YouTube channel the SEO stuff making sure the keywords and tags I've been doing some research on that I've been going back through all videos and it just so happens that a few years ago we had interviewed David Goggins before his book came out he wasn't he was barely on the scene at that point and in fact he had only done Rogan the one time and I had I watched that episode and I was a huge fan in fact I remember watching that episode and hearing David talk now I wasn't acquainted with ultra marathons I didn't even I never thought about it I would imagine that those events were out there but I didn't know anyone who who who who engaged in that kind of stuff and I didn't know it was a very popular sport marathon sure of course so I'm watching David Goggins on Rogan and I remember him talking about some of his his feats the pull-ups and push-ups and the 100 miles alone to get into the the other marathon ultra marathon and I remember thinking to myself that this guy is obviously full of it there there is nobody in the world who is able to do these things these feats of strength and endurance were impossible so I I was like I'm not watching this guy but something inside me compelled me to just look him up and lo and behold there was pictures and there was a story about him so everything that he was saying was true and it was at that point that I I was like well if if this guy isn't full of it then I need to listen to every word that this guy has to say because I was even aware that the human body let alone the human spirit was capable of such feats and so I watched his interview he said a few things that instantly changed my view and working out up until that point I saw working out is this thing that I begrudgingly did every morning and fought with myself to go do it David had said some things that changed my view the whole idea of embracing the suck and and that if you could be your best if by giving up one hour every day every morning well why wouldn't you like he said some things and there's in those moments that changed my whole perception about what my purpose was in the gym not only that my attitude towards endurance and running and cardio so I had become an instant fan and I had the opportunity of writing him then and him answering and having to be in it was a few months later he was going to be in LA doing some work for the book can't hurt me that hadn't been even released yet and that he said he would do the interview so I'm fanboy mode I can't believe that he's he's gonna do our show and it was one of those moments where you're meeting somebody that you look up to who's changed your your life who's changed your perception of the world around you who's made you a better person and so I had been excited about David being on the show and then he comes in and I had the opportunity of telling him how that how his appearance on Rogan changed my my view and life and and how I went into working out and I want to and I and I might I said to David I said every once in a while it's a rare moment in every man's life when he hears or sees something that changes his perception of the world around him for good and it's even a rare occasion that you would get to meet the person who said or that you saw that has changed your life so David I I want to thank you and so David stood up shake my shook my hand and it was so such an incredible moment to be able to tell this person I've looked up to this how is uh how his words affected me now regardless of that it's a little story I wanted to tell you about that interview so this morning I woke up and that video for whatever reason has boosted the views on the whole artichoke channel 20% as of this morning that's that's a lot of views granted we don't have Jay Shetty numbers or anything like that in fact the reason I'm doing extra work on our YouTube channel is that it's never got the love that it deserved especially for the amazing guests that we've had so I'm doing this work I get this message date it's the David Goggins video and and so to see that for whatever reason that video is getting this extra attention and it had shaken loose allow me this morning I made a special playlist for that video and dropped it on there but my my point all that I woke up to seeing that that made me smile and put me in a reflective mood about making that video and what it meant to me and for a lot of you people who I've talked to who have wrote me after watching that video or has told me what an amazing experience it must have been to meet David I guess well yeah it was one of my favorite interviews and I he was one of my favorite people at that moment and also he was new on the scene no one even really knew him the book hadn't even come out yet so it was just really excited to wake up to that and to be able to have that happen and to be able to reflect on it and to have that moment captured So that's what I woke up to today so I'm psyched about that and then to bring it to Tom Brady and this was one of the things that I wanted to discuss was that there are people it's certainly in sports high performance areas in life but let's talk about other high performance areas math you know MIT rocket scientists engineers people who have built some of the most incredible structures that you and I have ever seen these are people who earn who find moments to defy all reality and raise the bar of not only the the work in the field that they are in but also they had to find that extra gear or that that that place in themselves that they've lifted themselves up to be able to raise the bar and speaking of Goggans you know we're now watching Tom Brady win his 7 Super Bowl but Tom Brady's been in how many Super Bowls I mean playing in a Super Bowl for Tom Brady at this point his old hat he's done it so many times he's lost the more Super Bowls than most people will ever see let alone win 7 you want to and who's in his 40s talking about somebody who has raised the bar to the next level who had who found it in themselves to to advance their own physical mental prowess to then have raised to bar there are those athletes are few and far and few between now on the show we've talked to Stan Beach home and and Michael Gervais and David nurse these are high performance coaches Gervais for the Seahawks David nurse he's a he's a hoops coach and those people are so inspiring to be able to help people get to the next level so what I mentioned this morning that I was going to make my peace with Tom Brady was more so that I grew up in Pittsburgh and I grew up a Steelers fan I don't watch football anymore as it seems the the whole league has lost itself certainly politics is one of those points but I mean for one week what you refer to as a catch changes to the next week I mean when you can't even have agreement on the rules well for me it made me lose interest anyway but as a Steeler fan for most of my life I had to deal with with Ben Tomlin coward my team as a whole collapsing to Tom Brady and the new England Patriots for for all of Tom's career as long as he's been in a league Ben and the Steelers had folded to Tom which you can imagine I never wanted to like the guy I never wanted to have to I never wanted to have I didn't want to have to admit sorry but I didn't want to have to admit to his dominance over the league not only my team but the league in general and it was I think two years ago where I had finally made peace where I was like well you know Tom is who Tom is and he's goat and and that's just how it's just how it is I finally he had done so he had achieved so much had raised the bar so high and had put himself in a position where everyone has to chase him that you eventually just have to come to terms with the with the accomplishments and acknowledge it and therefore respect Goggins being one of those people so started to wake up this morning to think about Goggins and see that in our downloads or views and for myself to come to terms with him in that moment where I realized that his accomplishments were not to be ignored but to be respected and to have to listen to what this guy has to say about that which Tom Brady at this how are you going to deny Tom Brady anymore I mean the guy is in his 40s and he just trounced Kansas City Kansas City was and I though I don't watch much football anymore I was I pay attention to the scores I pay attention to if the Steelers are doing well and I could tell you they completely collapsed at the end of the year and I know for everyone who was bitching I was like well well wouldn't that been something if for whatever reason they finally make their way back to the Super Bowl only to be facing Tom Brady and the Bucks now that right there my friends is is the reality of the achievements and you just cannot you cannot ignore that anymore so that's what I wanted to say about that so now I want to get into the last part I wanted to give you I wanted to leave you guys with some tips on some better listening to upgrade your listening skills so that you can open up yourself to new opportunities now I see a few more of you have joined shoot me a message shoot me a comment let me know you're out there it's good to see you guys I appreciate it and as I've mentioned I'm going to be doing live streaming every Tuesday a 30 morning PST where chat about some things and I'd like to do more of this also if you're new if you just stumbled over this make sure you hit subscribe hit the notification bell leave a comment give me a thumbs up hit that thumbs up that allows other people to see these videos and then we can really start having some fun alright so lastly I wanted to discuss them some tips that you can use to cultivate better listening skills to open you up to more opportunities now number one it is the it is understanding that there are two types of listening there's active listening and passive listening active listening is to to give all of your attention and then looking for what you're listening for as a problem solver or as somebody who's looking to connect both forms of listening relational and critical carry with them a different focus if you were looking if you were listening to somebody to help them solve their problems then you are going to be listening through a lens that is a problem solving lens you're going to be listening for data you are going to be listening for gaps in that data you are going to be looking for a solution to end the conversation you're going to be looking for a solution to help solve that problem the other type of listening relational listening is listening with a focus on empathy on connection on commonalities on things that you can relate to the other person both both carry with it a different focus if if you are listening to your romantic partner and she or he wants to connect but you are listening in order to solve a problem then you're not listening on the same wavelength have you ever gotten an argument with somebody when they've told you their problems you went to solve it for them and they said you're not listening to me that's because you were listening as a problem solver and I look listening to relate so number two focus the focus needs to be on the other person focusing on what it is the emotional bids that you are that you are looking for is that attention is that approval is that acceptance those are for the relational listening moments that's going to allow you to connect this is going to allow you to build rapport and connect with the other person that's a different type of focus when it comes to problem solving if you're listening for problem solving as I mentioned earlier you're listening for data points you're listening for gaps and those data points you are looking to make sure that all the relevant information is going to be there so that you can go into a solution oriented retort number three giving your complete attention to the other person we don't do enough of this and we've certainly found it in modernity that we have our attention split up in the multiple places whether it be the phone we just put back in our pocket the synchronous conversation that we've been having online that is going back and forth into the person that's in front of us the thing about it is just because we've put our phone into our our pocket doesn't mean that our complete attention has been switched out of it much like a computer we don't just turn our attention off and on it lingers it dissipates it's moving its focus from one area to the next if you're carrying on a conversation on your phone and then are switching it to the person in front of you it's going to take time it is not something that you can just switch over as a species as a human being we've caught ourselves in a place where we're unable or at least we're unable to keep up with the technology that we've invented around us where our computers are able to switch at focus that easy we're not and we tend to to think that we can because of all the technology that is able to do that around us much like anything else I did a rant about on-demand culture in a podcast that we did a few weeks ago and that everything is on demand around us our the movies we watch the records that we listen to the the television shows we're we're binge watching everything now that on-demand culture has found its way into our social lives where we think we can just schedule a zoom call for 10 minutes and connect with somebody though there is a connection being made the real rapport and then the time that rapport needs in order to take place is just not happening anymore therefore all the connections that we've been making are on a superficial level therefore no one feels completely fulfilled in their needs of that connection this makes it incredibly difficult I know for myself with with the pandemic I'm missing out on all the social activities that I used to be involved with trying to find time to reconnect with people through the technology we have and that's fine it works it's better than nothing but there's still the fulfillment in those connections is not nearly what it used to be sitting down next to somebody and reading their micro expressions and being able to mirror them allows for a deeper connection to happen I can't mirror you through the technology that we have the the pixels even if it's 4k are not matching up therefore my automatic responses as a human being to mirror you cannot happen therefore leaving these connections not as deep or fulfilling as they would be in having with somebody in real life which we need to account for number four body language in listening to somebody make sure you have your body language open open body equals an open mind close body equals a close mind the studies on this and the data is clear and I believe there has been so many experiments done that if you take a group setting and you have half the room listen with closed off body language half the room listen to a lecture with open body language the the data has point points out that people closed off body language tend to have retained 30% less information than those with open body language now there's always going to be exceptions to the rules and you can argue about how well you can do with closed off body language but we're discussing this in general audiences we're talking about the law of averages and if you want to play this game where you're the exception to the rule well by all means be my guest I'm not here to argue with you I'm here to give you the facts and give you some some tricks tips and hacks to be a better listener so if you want to be a better listener don't think that you're the exception to the rule and make sure that when you are there to listen to somebody you give them open body language this will also relax them why because if I go into a conversation with my arms crossed to listen to you I'm going to feel compelled to mirror me and now you're going to be crossing your arms now rather than having open body language and both of us being able to retain the information that we're hearing from each other well now we're just talking at each other rather than to each other so body language being the next one and lastly what is the context in which you're hearing this information let me give you an example yesterday somebody tweeted at me a comment about something that was going on in Joe Rogan's podcast it was a disturbing story of a grandmother and a child who was having bad grades the story in itself isn't important what's important is I made a crack that that Joe's podcast on Spotify isn't what it is and this guy quips back on Twitter with hey well Joe was just talking about this this is edgy well this subject that you had given me is completely out of context to what the conversation was was it a was it a story that was a humorous story a humorous take or were they being serious were they reading an actual story was it a hypothetical story or was it actual story that was based on true events without the context the tweet that somebody sent me is invalid why am I going to respond to a tweet that's out of context so even if that's asynchronous conversation you can imagine with the listening skills would need to be in the context that you were going to have to derive from a conversation would be in the same manner what is why so here's the context that I want you to think about don't get this confused with mind reading equate this to the the facts that are presented to you why are they telling you the story this goes back to the be the first tip that I gave you guys which is is it critical listening which would be problem solving listening or is it relational listening this will help you derive some context to why you're being told the information that you're being told lastly this gives you an opportunity then to summarize what you've just heard when you summarize the information that you just heard you're putting it in context you were able to nail down that both of you define words in the same manner that there is an agreed basis for the information that was exchanged and not only did you hear it clearly that you're able to recite it but that you have the context which gives you an opportunity to answer whether it is a problem solving conversation or it is a relational conversation and if you have the correct context you have the correct focus you've agreed in this and the summarization so now the reasoning behind the conversation has now been accepted if you do that if you practice these tips you will be a better listener and you will be presented with more opportunities in your life so that's what I got it is 902 and I'm gonna have to go but for those of you who checked it out if you have any questions throw them up I'll give you a minute here and then I gotta go but I want to thank you guys I'll be here every Tuesday 830 the stream as I mentioned I'm doing a ton of work on our YouTube channel whether and it's adding plenty of content I'm making new videos I'm doing these streams I've I've redid all the past videos are keywords and stuff so trying to get some momentum over here I appreciate you guys for joining in Eric Barnhart says I'm passive listening right now well you certainly are my friend I completely I completely agree and Stefan Stefan a says so interesting really enjoyed this well thank you very much Stephen a do you think do you think zoom meets have an advantage over in person well Stefan that depends on how you want to show up for that conversation in real life you can't show up for that conversation without your pants on on zoom hey maybe I'm not wearing pants right now I would say that's the only advantage to that any advantages well to be a little bit more comfortable at home the problem with zoom is we're relegated to it because of the pandemic we're stuck with it it's all we got it serves its purpose but I could tell you focus is not there because there's nothing to compel you to hold focus Stephen if I was having this conversation with you face to face your body language your micro expressions your attention your body language all of those components would add to every would add to me needing and feeling compelled to give you more attention and so it's difficult for my attention to slip it is difficult for my attention to slip if you're standing right in front of me where how many conversations Stephen have you been in on a zoom meeting with maybe co-workers where maybe you skipped over the to Twitter to see what was going on in the middle of that conversation only because you knew you could do it but in that conversation if if if that was happening at work and you were in a business meeting would have you have pulled out your phone to swipe through to scroll through Twitter while you were in the middle of that meeting I don't think so so there's where the differences lie and well and I'll give you another advantage you can record the call so that you can go back to it later and there is a permanent record of it that's about the only advantages I could think of may maybe less nervousness well that once again that depends on the the call and who it's with I would think so but as I said I would it's easier to to to feel disconnected to at least the point where your your concentration will will start to roll to other areas because there's nothing holding you dead center and person behind a mask I don't know what that means all right so well Eric thanks for tuning in Stefan thanks for tuning in I will give you guys another second to throw up anything if not give me a thumbs up write a comment subscribe hit the notification bell do all the good do all the lovely things that you guys know us YouTubers love and helps out the show and we'll see what we can do with this I appreciate thank you guys alright Stephanie thank you too I will see you guys later have an incredible Tuesday


What's up guys and girls, I'm Steph, you all know me by now and I'm here to bring you something awesome today. So we have the opportunity for you guys to get a load of free games, so in this video we're going to explain the mechanics of that. But before we get into it, here's a short commercial clip. And welcome back guys, if you like that little bit of cheese then let us know in the comments down below. Give us a little like and maybe we'll start throwing together some more of these little cheesy fit clips for you guys. So today we are here to talk about a new system, Get Games. What is Get Games all about? Get Games is there to give you guys the opportunity to claim free review code for some amazing titles. So we've got titles in there currently like Bear With Me, which is a film noir sort of adventure game. We've got Glass Wings, which is a little bit more actiony. We've got Lily's Epic Quest, which is a match free game. Safety First, which I don't quite know how to explain. You pretty much pee on wires to try and fix things. Then we've got Tanki X, which is an online arena based game where you customize your own Tanki, customize the weapons, treads, absolutely every aspect of it to make it exactly how you want and go fight a massive arena. And then we have Treasure Arena, which I don't really know what genre it falls into. If I was to compare it to something it would be like Binding of Isaac with multiplayer elements. Really awesome game. You guys should check it out. So anyway, how does the system work? So to get to the system, you first go into your dashboard as you do with any of our other products and go to the Game Giveaways section. From here you'll see we have multiple tiers of games listed down the page. These are sorted into subscriber brackets and we've had to do this because some developers will only let us give games to people over a certain subscriber count. So here you'll see we've got over $30,000 of games for you to start with. So once you see a game you like click into it, you'll be able to watch the trailer, you'll be able to get a little bit more information about the game and finally you will be able to claim your key. Once you've claimed your key you can go away, make a review, make a let's play, make any sort of content around the game. And then you can come back to the dashboard as you can see and submit the link to us. So the system works on a two to three ratio. What does this mean for you guys? For every three game keys you claim you must submit at least two videos or get blocked out of the system. We did this number one so people couldn't abuse the system because if we can't prove to these developers that they're getting their values from these keys we won't be able to move on to bigger and better games for you guys and we all want that. We did this two in case you have technical difficulties. We don't want a game not to run on your system and you to get blocked out because of that. So we've given you an allowance of one failed game for every two working games. So we try to keep it as fair as possible. So on to when you submit a video. When you submit a video every video is manually reviewed. What does this mean? This means that it will take between two to three days for each video to be manually approved by us and why did this process need to take place? Basically we didn't want you guys submitting League of Legends videos for games like Bear with Me and then being able to claim more keys. This is something we had to work out with the developers of the games we've offered to make sure there is some sort of protection in place for them. So there may be a little bit of lag time before you can claim your next key if you're waiting for a video to be approved. So that's basically an overview of the system and it's a little tease. I want to give you a little bit of information on what's to come. So very soon we have set up a deal with a very large gaming company probably all heard of for over $30,000 worth of keys for their product. So this game is a dungeon crawler and that's pretty much all the information I'm going to give you. Let me know in the comments down below what game you think it is and also feel free to let us know what features you'd like to see in the system and any suggestions. So you can reach out to me on Twitter at Stephman1231 if you have any more questions and I will see you guys in the next video. Take it easy.
