Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. We're talking Thursday flipping investments in today's video for your Wednesday. We're gonna take a look ahead at some stuff that I think is gonna rise on the market after rewards this week. Now, of course, we have a new team of the week that is coming out today. That's gonna impact some of the stuff on the market. There's a lot of stuff going on right now with the Foot Freeze Promo. Yesterday's content with our R and the CDM, I'm forgetting his name right now, the CDM from La Liga. I think some people weren't very happy with this, but in my opinion, I feel like this objective is one of the best. Besides Balasi, even Valin is interesting, but Kappa and Alwar were two of the best like objective and SBC cards that we've had so far in this promo. I think a lot of people are gonna be trying them out this weekend with the position changes, especially Alwar. It looks like a great box-to-box midfielder or a center-attacking mid wherever you choose to play him. And the big thing is, he's French. So we're gonna talk about the new French cards that are in packs, the new Foot Freeze items, talk about possibly how the team of the week could impact what we see go up on the market this week. And honestly, just look at the stuff that goes up every week, because there are cards that go up almost every week in this game, but this week I wanna take a look at some specific things that based on what's going on in the game right now, I think could be points of interest. So of course, what we have gotten this week is continual Foot Freeze content, more SBCs are coming out. Now the Alwar one today, I think a lot of people are doing. If you take a look on Footbin, this Alwar card with all of the, we call this the hype check, right? On my channel, when we're live streaming on Twitch, link down in the description. We call this the hype check, right? We take a look at the card, 4900 thumbs up on the first day of an SBC. That's a lot of thumbs up for an SBC card like that. And it's Kappa Objective card, 3000 thumbs up. That's really good. That is really, really good. And then of course, there's some pretty hyped up cards as well. Usman Dembele 3000 thumbs up. That's actually less than the Kappa card. He's also got 1000 down votes. And then same maximum, probably has a lot of down votes too. Nevermind, he's got 2700. I wondered if he would have more down votes because he's extinct. Still extinct at 1.3 million. I don't think that, you know what, I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think he's gonna end up being 1.3 million in a week from now. So all you guys that are sniping him, you're just hoping for a quick price range update and you're able to sell that card because other than that, I really don't know that he's gonna continue to go up. But the rest of these guys have actually bounced back from where they were a little bit today. They're gonna continue to get packed. They're gonna be going down at rewards. We're not really focused on these cards as much as some of these other cards that are in the game that have come out that people already have in their teams and what they might be building around, right? Adama this week. Premier League, French, Ligue 1. Premier League, French and Ligue 1 special cards and even some golds would be in my opinion of a place to look this week. Now I've added some cards to my transfer targets that I think I'm gonna be keeping my eyes on if you're gonna go that route this week. You know, Llorente today dropped because of the Kappa objective. So be careful with that one, but he still links to Joel Felix, right? Because that's a big time green link that a lot of people like to have the Joel Felix play of the month. Pogba today, this informed Pogba was one that I was keeping my eyes on because a lot of these French cards actually rose up today into the 6 p.m. timeframe because if you guys were not aware, the cards that were released yesterday, the, wow. And now Pogba's back up man. See Pogba was back down under 410K today after being 435 plus because there was a lot of leaks, right? The leaks that came out about the same maximum about the Usman Dembele. So people were buying link investments to these cards that are extinct on the market and that are very, very expensive. And we knew they were gonna be expensive day one. So I definitely don't think I would have recommended buying any of those items, but a lot of those guys like Pogba, Griezmann's inform was up today and those cards got panic sold or not panic sold, but they dropped after these cards came out of the Griezmann and the same maximum came into packs and people realized, yo, these are actually really expensive. Griezmann was 110 earlier today after the panic selling. He was 130 earlier this morning. He's still a French item. He still is a very good player in this game and he's down a lot from his normal trend. So I thought that was a really good buy today. We were talking about that on stream for about 110K. That's a great buy. It's still at 119, right? A lot of these cards have maybe rebounded a slight bit like that Pogba we were just looking at. He was under 410K earlier today on the PlayStation. Some of these cards might be up a little bit already from when you're looking at their prices, but it doesn't mean that it's a technical bad buy, right? You still know a lot of French links. These are still new cards, right? The new, the Pogba Inform is fairly new. That was out a couple of weeks ago and the stuff that you saw go up last week, right? I'm gonna take a look at some of the stuff that went up last week on the market as well. I wanna look at some of that because a lot of that was just the simple overpowered cards that everybody likes to use in this game every week anyway, even regardless of like the new content that came out, right? Rashford is 121,000 coins at the moment. Last week he went from 141 up to 151, which that does not seem like a big rise, but he was probably viable somewhere in the 130s, you know, on Sunday night, on Tuesday actually, into Wednesday, and then he rebounded up past 150 actually into the weekend. Now he's down back to 121. He was in the one teens earlier today. That's a card that I could see going up further this week. And Golo Conte is a center defensive mid French, the best CDM in this game, 279. Last week he went 284 all the way up to 307. So, you know, not a crazy amount of profit margin right there, but solid, right? And these are just the most popular gold cards in the game. Joe Gomez, somebody who literally goes up every single week, it's hard to see here, but Joe Gomez was viable last week at 32, 33,000 coins, and he was up at 38, 39, 40,000 coins. So you could have bought a 33 and sold at 40 on this Joe Gomez. That was a really good flip. I actually did a little bit of that myself last week. And then of course your normal risers, right? This Monet gold card. Yes, he was out of packs at one point a little bit. But last week, 241 to 268, and then I was gonna show you Salah as well. Just because these guys are pretty high tier and a lot of people don't invest in them. But look at this graph, bro. He's moving every week, two weeks ago, 250 to 280. Last week, 250 to 280 again. What is he right now? Muhammad Salat is 250,000 coins. Once again, he was even a little lower than that earlier today. Now, one thing I will mention is, we have on Thursday, we have today on Wednesday, and tomorrow on Thursday, we have two new foot threes SBCs coming that we know of, right? The first one today is most likely gonna be Mbabu. We think it's a Wolfsburg player and it's gonna be a CDM, I think, or maybe they just gave us Wolfsburg. I think I saw a prediction that showed a center defensive mid Mbabu. But we are getting a Wolfsburg player today and then the SBC on Thursday is a center midfielder from Liverpool. So that could be Trent Alexander-Arnold, position changed. That could be like Shaqiri position changed. That could be literally anybody from Liverpool. But a center mid from Liverpool, people are gonna do that SBC. Salah is a decent look this week. I know I shouted Mane already. I think a lot of people are onto this one. I've seen multiple people talk about Mane or mention it to me. But this guy in like the low to mid 220s, like 225 maybe? That's not a bad price at all for this guy, in my opinion, because of the links to the SBC. And he's also just a card that rises every week as we saw on the footping graph. So you can still mess around with some of the gold cards in this game. If you're gonna touch a gold card for a Thursday flip, the thing you wanna look at is, is this card in the most popular player list, is it high enough rated that a lot of people wanna buy it? And if you take a look at their graph every week, like let's take a look at De Bruyne. Does De Bruyne's gold card go up? Does De Bruyne's gold card? You know, he went last week from 127 to 137. So that's a little bit of profit there, decent amount. But not a ton, right? Let's take a look at one more. Just for fun. Let's look at Pugba, right? He's out of packs right now, so that probably is not helping him. But he's already up this week, 129. He's already been inflated because he is out of packs. You know, Pugba and Varan, since they are out of packs through the weekend, I've heard some people saying like, Varan was a buy in the 190s. And I think he was there earlier today.  But he's already kind of inflated. Now, today, or sorry, yesterday, he was down in the 200.  So some of the cards that are out of packs might be a little bit, you know, inflated already if you're looking at golds. But if we take a look at some of the other players, some of these freeze cards could do decently well, right? I mean, even Lucas Terrea, 64K, keep an eye on that one, Bernardo Silva. Cards that link maybe this new, like this Sanay, you know, CDM, he's gonna, we might have another card today from the Bundesliga from Wolfsburg that would possibly link to him. So, you know, watch that item as a link investment, possibly hazard, you know. And just take a look at some of these other team of the weak cards. Like I mentioned, Pugba, you know, Zaha, Sun is 291, he's kind of down a little bit at the moment. The out of pack stuff is always a little bit safer, but especially if you're looking at promo cards, wow. What is this? This De Bruyne card gets no respect. No respect at all, man. That's way too cheap. Is that on the market? I doubt it is, but I'm gonna check anyway, because this is one thing you can make coins off of, is when somebody undercuts on foot bin, and foot bin catches it, you can sometimes make profit off of this, because somebody else will look at foot bin to find their price, and he's actually not 359, he's 380, but, you know, some of these cards, like the past team of the weak informs, team of the group stage items. Sterling looks really low to me right now at the moment. 170 likes, pretty low, he could bounce back. Of course, it all depends on who's in team of the weak as well. This week's team of the weak, there's a prediction out here on foot bin, with Scott Rashford, Benzema, Lewandowski, Suarez, Kempembe, another tail Hernandez, Yonatan Ta, Roberto Firmino, Anna McDominay. So, you know, if Rashford gets in, I think this is the only prediction that I saw Rashford getting into. Let's go to Foothead for a second, look at their team of weak prediction. They've got Firmino as well for the header, it can spurs, yeah, of course. Tail Hernandez, 86, Kempembe, so again, more league on, more French, right? I like the French stuff for those types of links, and if they give a McDominay a pretty big boost, I was looking at somebody earlier today that could possibly just rise up with, you know, weak and weak demand in general. This Bruno Fernandez first inform is a very, very rare card, he's 394 right now, he was 380s earlier in the day, I think I have one on my transfer targets by chance that I saw, and like 390 flat, and I was trying to find an undercut, but look for a guy like this, open bid, look right there, 371. You might be able to find an open bid on some of these past team of the weeks that are early on. Team of the weak ones are still really rare and they fluctuate a lot on Thursdays, but again, this week, if you're looking at lower tier cards, it's all about what links to the new content that is out in my opinion, and some of the freeze cards I think could do decent from team one. Now, of course, if you are on rewards day and you wanna try to flip some of the new cards from freeze that are in team two, that is something you could get, you know, possibly invested in as well, because they've already bounced back a little bit tonight, and that just tells me that people are trying them out a little bit. They're also pretty rare day one, but this Keolini card, right, he's a CDM, but this guy as a center back could really be a beast. He looks pretty solid with the pace boost as a center back, 80 pace. He looks really pretty usable. I think some people might try him out this week. Matt Moreno as a right back card, if you do the Kappa objective, you get a strong link to the new Moreno, Alex Moreno right back. Goosens even looks decent. So just kinda remember what the new content is, and people are not usually spending too much on teams right about now, because we're headed into team of the year. The market's really down. The game does not have a ton of hype, in my opinion, but there are still people that are out there buying some teams for Week in League, and still trying out new cards as well. Now today or yesterday, with the Awar SBC, and a lot of, there was a lot of panic on the market for that SBC, if I'm being honest. It's this Stoikov icon card. Icons, baby icons especially, are gonna be great Thursday flips this week, in my opinion, especially the ones that are very sought after and desired, usable, hyped, good stats, you know the drill, right? The stuff, the meta stuff, right? This Figo card is like 610K at the moment. I don't really know if that's down for him or not, but a lot of people are still using this icon as it is the central version of Luis Figo, the only central version that we have in the game right now, and he's out of packs, right? Base icons are out of packs, so some of these base icons people really like to use. Figo, I just showed you Stoikov, right? Another one that comes to mind is Baby Canavaro. I mentioned him a lot, as a baby card that is very hyped up. 700K flat for this guy, or a little more than that, it looks like that was one on bid. But just look at some of these cards, they could fluctuate a decent amount, just because they're out of packs. One way to kind of find a card that might be good is to go over here to Footbin, click on Players, Feeva 21 Players, drop down and then sort by version, icons, base, right? That's how I found this page right here. I sorted it by price. Soul Campbell is a card a lot of people use. Thierry-en-Rie is a French left wing. You know, again, French links could see some movement there. Now of course, if you're buying an icon, you wanna make sure it's within your budget, and you wanna make sure that you're gonna get a decent return on investment as well. So that's why I like looking at kind of this page too, with some of the icons that are in the couple 100K range because, you know, you don't wanna spend too much and not be able to make any coins after tax. So, you know, Nedved might be a decent one. He's somebody people use a lot. Maka Lele as a right mid, just because of the position change, but also being a somewhat decent card in this game, 300K.  He was 280 earlier today. Now he's back up to 300K. I'm actually gonna search up this kind of viral really quick because he's about to expire on my screen. 740, I mean, I have like, eh, it's not really a flip to be honest. I mean, I could probably make it work and maybe get a sale at 750. Now the people bidding on it, man. So let's see where the sales at. 730, 740, 705.  So I'm not gonna buy this kind of viral right now. Technically, I could probably flip him for like a little bit of profit, but it's, I'm not really wanting to do that. But yes, continuing with what we were talking about earlier. Thursday flips, baby icons, I like them. Just the meta golds, I like those because people buy meta golds every single week to fit their teams together. Now, league on special cards. I'm kind of having, not trouble, but you know, how many league one special cards are really out there? You have the Bobragas record breaker. You've got this DePie inform. You know, some of those cards, I don't know if they're overlooked per se, but a lot of people are running untradable teams right now in the game because of the fact that team of the year is coming and they don't wanna spend a lot of money on their team. So some guys you will see, link investments to those objective players that have recently been out or stuff like that. You will see some of those things rise this week as well. So it's probably very similar to last week in terms of what stuff will rise for a Thursday flip. The only thing that I really would see hurting a Thursday flipping market from like after rewards Thursday into Friday is if they would put out more icon SBCs because I think that's one thing that you're gonna see consistent panic selling on. Now watch those icons that we were just talking about, the baby icons. We have not gotten new actual icon SBCs that have been released. So I think a few of them did expire just recently like the Figo that we had. I forget who else was out, but Figo, Vandersar and somebody else, these only have three days remaining and that would take us up to Friday. So in my opinion, we're gonna be getting new icon SBCs for individual players in the next couple of days. I just don't know when that is gonna be. If they're gonna drop one like they did last time where they dropped them a few days apart or if they're just gonna drop them on Friday, they could drop them any day this week, right? And I think that's why people are getting interested and that's why people are kind of panic selling some stuff, especially icons into 6pm UK in the content drop time every day is because people are expecting it or they think it could happen any day so they're kind of selling and expecting that ahead of time. So just kind of watch out for that. That could be an opportunity to pick up some stuff today on the market. Now sell times for a lot of this stuff. You know, I bought an Alex to share a card to flip. I do have one Rashford. I'm trying to flip this drug button, this Alaba which I'm making coins on. I just needed to sell, right? But a lot of this stuff I'm gonna be buying in the next 24 hours. You could wait until after today's content on Wednesday if you want to, depending on what SBC comes out. But the Wolfsburg, I'm not in town. If it's not Mbabu, I just don't know how much hype is there. It's not super linkable. Like Awar today was really, really linkable. French league on. A lot of league one special cards out in the game that people are using, especially with untradable teams and the French nationality is a whole very linkable, right? And then of course Kappa as a CDM in the La Liga, which you could probably end up playing in as a right back position change in game. I think that's a card a lot of people are gonna go out and do. So just kind of keep those sorts of things in mind. Today's SBC player, if it actually isn't Mbabu, I don't know which Wolfsburg player would have like really good links. So I'm just kind of curious about that. Just kind of watch the market over the next 24 hours before rewards and you might have an opportunity to get on some of the stuff. Some of the stuff, again, like if we take a look at the golds one last time, it's pretty low. It's pretty low. It was a little bit lower earlier today. Joe Gomez was 29,000 coins. Kante was like 262, but some of these guys are still low. Like Mane is still pretty low in my opinion. Pugba's up some. Sun doesn't really rise on Thursdays, unfortunately, Sala is still around the same price. So for some of the golds, they're around the same price. And if you're looking for out-of-packs cards as well, I mean, these are always the quote unquote safest bet. You just wanna make sure you're buying something that has hype that people are gonna wanna use, right? And people are gonna want to play with on the weekend. Like I have a couple of this Alex Tashara card who, you know, last week he went from 117 to 126. You know, I bought some today at 85,000 coins. I think he could easily go back to almost 100K. I think it's very doable for a Brazil striker. Especially if people are still using like a Talisca or any other past inform with some Brazilian links in there as well. Just keep an eye out for some cards that get low, you know, that are very rare out-of-packs specials. We always love those. Rule breakers, of course, we always talk about those as being very rare and good flips. Of course, I would recommend some of those this week. Quadrado could be interesting. He was in like the 170s, he's up a lot. He was over 200K today, now he's back down. So just keep an eye on that one. And then some of the other team one rule breakers too, like Laporte is probably gonna be a good flip this week with all the French cards that come out.  If you can find him, he's already up, right? Technically, he was 480, 490. Now he's up to 510. So if you find any low stuff in terms of just out-of-packs specials, always give those a go. But I do think you will see a little bit of a rise with the market this week because people are still playing weak and weak, right? It's the holiday season.  So that's kind of my thoughts for Thursday Flipping Investments this week. Again, French Premier League, League On are the three places that I would focus this week. And I'm trying to get some of these flips out tonight so that I can go in and buy some of those cards myself. So if you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you're new. It's been Nate the Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.


What makes the narcissist leave you? What makes them leave as though they never cared about you? What makes them leave and not want to come back? Many people assume that the narcissist left Because they found someone better Because you weren't good enough for them Because the narcissist needed more and while the narcissist would love you to think in that way It's not always the case Most often the reason why the narcissist will leave you is because you're starting to wake up You're seeing through their BS You see what they're really about You start to realize that you deserve better You take a step back from the abuse and begin to focus more on yourself You begin to reflect on what you want and nothing will trigger the narcissist want to leave more than that The last thing they want to see is you focusing on yourself Thinking about what you want That's like kryptonite to a narcissist because they wanted to be all about them They want your constant attention They want you to be constantly focusing on their needs The narcissist leaves you Because you're no longer tolerating their BS You're starting to realize that you deserve better You're starting to see that this person has no respect for you or for themselves And this puts the narcissist in a panic mode When you take a step back They begin to fear that maybe you're going to find someone else The narcissist cannot deal with rejection There's nothing more painful to a narcissist than the feeling of being rejected and They will do whatever it takes to avoid that painful experience They will try to beat you to the punch by trying to replace you In anticipation of you replacing them whether or not that was what you were planning on doing This is what they will assume Because they are paranoid and hyper-vigilant and Deep down they know they're giving you nothing of value They know they have nothing to offer Nothing that's going to make you want to remain around them So they're anticipating you leaving them and They just want to beat you to it Many people assume that the narcissist left them because they found someone better But that just isn't true more often than not The narcissist will downgrade But in their delusional minds It's an upgrade because at least now They're with someone who is susceptible to their manipulation Someone who believes in their lies at least now They get an attention and admiration From someone who doesn't know what they're really about In their minds That is an upgrade because once you had figured them out You were no longer giving them the attention they desired You could no longer see them as something desirable or attractive After everything they had said and done to you and that was what caused them to devalue and discard you Because anyone who doesn't validate their false self is trash garbage That's just how they see it if you're not going to live in their delusional reality You're completely worthless and insignificant and They will toss you aside Without a second thought The narcissist leaves you Because they feel exposed They feel that you have uncovered their true intentions or motives They feel that they have no other choice Than to make an exit plan a quick escape Before everything collapses on top of them everything they built with you Was like a house of cards it was built in a weak foundation and structure and It was liable to collapse at any moment Because from the moment you met them The narcissists gave you a false character They were pretended to be something they're not Pretended to be something they thought you wanted them to be and they knew from the very beginning that I wouldn't last They knew it was going to end They knew that there was going to be no future In something that started out as a game Thank you for watching.

Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you including Justin Zellers, Pepper Geesey and Eric Holm. Coming up on DTNS, Netflix has a change of heart. Open AI gets more open about Dolly too and Quinn Nelson from Snazzy Labs explains why the M1 Mac might, might be the best gaming laptop out there. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, July 20th, 2022. That's a lot of 20s. In Los Angeles I'm Tom Merritt. From Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. Joining us the host of Snazzy Labs, Quinn Nelson, welcome. Hello. Thanks so much for having me. I'm excited to be on. I'm not in an exotic place like you guys, but that's alright. Where are you? I'm in Salt Lake City. That's quite exotic. This is our second Salt Lake City person in a row too. Hey, you know what? Good things happen in news, they say. Well, let's start with a few tech things you should know. It seems like just yesterday we were talking about how younger folks prefer using TikTok and Instagram over Google search to find places nearby. That's because we actually talked about it yesterday on Thursday, which was also yesterday, Thursday, which was Tuesday. That's what I meant to say. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a new searchable and dynamic map feature on Instagram. So what's all kind of getting, it's happening, letting users explore popular tagged locations around them, filter location results by categories like restaurants and cafes, beauty salons. Instagram's map experience has up until now only included posts. You might have said, well, they already had maps, right? Yes. But the update now lets users search the map itself for not only posts, but stories, guides and hashtags. But they don't use maps. Wait, that wasn't the point of that story. I think I'm misinterpreted. According to data from Sensor Tower, B Real has hit number one among free apps in Apple's US App Store. Sensor Tower also reports that about 35% of B Real users are in the US, followed by the UK with 17% and 10% in the home market of France. The app has been installed more than 20 million times. If you're unaware, B Real is the one that just lets you post once a day. And the idea is it will tell you when to post and give you two minutes to be real about what's happening in your life. Microsoft launched a little social app in its productivity chat and a little voice chat in its gaming app. Viva Engage is an app inside Teams that encourages work-based social networking for all Microsoft 365 commercial customers. It includes a news feed like storyline section and stories for ephemeral content. Viva Engage will replace Yammer communities for Teams, but the Yammer platform will continue to be available. Content created on Viva Exchange will be viewable on Yammer and vice versa. Meanwhile, Discord voice calls are coming to the Xbox mobile app. Once those are linked, the calls can be connected to your Xbox One or series console available now for Xbox insiders. At the Alexa Live Developer Conference, now I triggered mine. Sorry, apologies for that. Amazon announced several new changes to how its voice assistant works. Developers will now be able to create routines for users. You'll still be able to create your own routines. But as an example, Jaguar Land Rover is offering a good night routine pre-made for you. If you execute it, it will lock your car, check the charge and fuel levels and turn on Guardian mode. Universal Commands is another feature Amazon announced. It will pass along a command. If Amazon can handle it, but the voice assistant you're talking to can't. This is if you've got more than one voice assistant on a device. For example, the Verge pointed out Skullcandy headphones. You could say, hey, Skullcandy set a timer, and it would pass that on to Amazon because the headphones themselves don't have timer functionality, but Amazon does. This is getting interesting. Google began publicly testing smart glasses based on the project it announced at this year's Google IO conference. The glasses use built-in cameras to recognize objects in an environment using local AI, but don't take photos or videos. Initial tests will focus on use cases around translation, transcription, visual search and navigation. Google began testing with dozens of pairs in the field, but will ramp up to several hundred throughout 2022. It's only been a couple months since IO though. Usually they're supposed to wait a few years, you know, before they take these wild concepts and put them in the actual field. That's interesting. Alright, let's talk about Netflix. Big news out of Netflix's earnings report on Tuesday was that it lost 970,000 subscribers and that that was good news. It's Netflix's second quarterly drop. It's largest yet, but it was also half of what either Netflix or analysts had expected. And most of that drop was domestic. Netflix fell by 1.3 million in the US and Canada. They also fell about 770,000 in Europe and West Asia, but they gained around a million in Asia Pacific while staying essentially flat everywhere else. Even with the subscriber decline, companies revenue was up 8.6% over last year. And as for this current quarter, Netflix is back to projecting a gain. They think they're going to get a million new subscribers in the current three month period. But as always, the part that matters most to us is those little details. On Tuesday show, we talked about the tests that are going on in Latin America to combat account sharing. Netflix plans to launch one of its plans worldwide sometime next year. Netflix also said it will launch its advertising supported tiers and markets where ad spending is significant, starting in early 2023. The company previously to hope to launch new plans by the end of the year. It seemed like they were going pretty quickly, a little bit delayed. Netflix keeps insisting that its way of doing ads will be fundamentally different than linear TV. Yeah, so they're probably not just going to roll interstitials is what that means. But who knows what else it means. One new bit of info on those ad supported tiers is that not all the content you can get on ad free Netflix will be available because of licensing. Netflix can play ads along with anything it owns itself. And anything where the license doesn't stop it from doing that. But not all the licenses allow that. And even some of the shows that they call Netflix originals may have restrictions if they're made by somebody else. For instance, TechCrunch points out that Warner Brothers owns the licensing to you. Universal owns the licensing of Russian doll and Sony produces the crown and Cobra Kai. And coincidentally, the Wall Street Journal reports that Netflix is in talks with each of those three companies about new deals. Co CEO Ted Serendot said that Netflix quote will clear some content but certainly not all of it by the time the new tiers launch but also added the vast majority of what people watch on Netflix we can include in the ad supported tier but it won't be one to one. Another change is Netflix talking about radiance because it did not use to the company cited a Nielsen's estimate that Netflix made up 7.7% of all US TV viewing in June. That's 1.334 trillion minutes making Netflix the most viewed TV service in the US. Well ahead of second place CBS, which has 753 billion minutes. CBS is the number one broadcast network in the US right now. So interesting comparison. Co CEO Reed Hastings said it's definitely the end of linear TV over the next five to 10 years. Hastings likes to say something like that, doesn't he? I don't know if he's gonna be right about five to 10 years, but he's probably right. He's probably close to right. Anyway, the company also addressed suggestions that it might do better if it released episodes on a weekly schedule like most other outlets do. Netflix said it likes the freedom of not having to do things like theatrical releases and it likes letting customers choose how to watch a series. So it's going to keep flaunting those norms because it considers those to be quote a significant long term business advantage. Interesting to see Netflix who has been the leader in streaming from the get go face the headwinds first Quinn as a consumer of television content. How does that? How do you any of this strike you? It surprises me and it doesn't. I've been a Netflix subscriber for years. While I have not yet canceled, it's more tempting because the price continues to go up and up and up. And the content that I'm personally attracted to from Netflix is decreasing. I feel like most of their good series, at least the ones that I'm interested in tend to get pretty short runs or they get canceled at kind of last notice. And now that bigger companies are getting, I shouldn't say bigger companies, but more historically successful companies at this like HBO are getting into the game. It just it makes it that much trickier for them to compete. Sarah. Well, yeah, I the the ad supported model is intriguing to me because I keep that, you know, this is this is one of these situations where it's like, I don't see it until someone shows it to me and then I go, Oh, that's a good idea. I mean, besides like, horrible product placement and every new original series or movie that Netflix puts out, I don't totally understand how varying away from the linear TV model of ads. I just don't see it yet. I'm sure Netflix has thought about it a lot. And that's probably why that's not something that they're ready to roll up by the end of this year. But but yeah, that is that, you know, that's something that people aren't used to Netflix is, you know, like you said, Quinn, I mean, a lot of people have been Netflix subscribers for many, many years. I mean, even if you weren't in the DVD days, I wasn't, you know, I was, it was, you know, streaming only really still that was a long time ago. Netflix has seen a lot of changes since then. And at one point, Netflix was like the only player in the game. And they're quite a few now. So sure there's competition. Sure, Netflix had some some subscriber bleed out, but not as bad as as the company thought it would be. So that was good news. I mean, it was, you kind of look at it on its face, you go, Oh, they lost a lot of subscribers. But well, you know, if they thought they were going to lose more than twice that, and they didn't, that actually is good news. But I, you know, the weekly schedule thing, I go back and forth. Some shows, I think it's really show by show, person by person, of course, there are certain shows where I like the suspense of waiting, you know, throughout a season, I like being like, Okay, it's Sunday night. I've been waiting since last Sunday, because I really like the show.  And I applaud Netflix for letting me do that. I don't know. I Netflix has always tried a lot of stuff. I mean, remember quickster, that didn't work out well, but they still had the gumption to try it briefly. Yeah. I think the bottom line is that Netflix and CBS being the two most watched in the US is very apropos, because what's happening to Netflix happened to CBS. It also happened ABC and NBC, which is they were the dominant way to watch television until cable television rose up. And suddenly all these niche cable networks, right? Music television arts and entertainment started to eat away because they were brands that you could understand. Oh, if I want music, I go to MTV. And the broadcast networks had to reorganize themselves. They couldn't be the home of all the sports you could watch because ESPN existed. So they had to come up with a new way to adapt to be mainstream while fending off these niche attacks. And they did. That's why CBS is the most watched network outside of Netflix, because they figured that out. Netflix has to figure that out. Netflix has to address Quinn's feeling of I just don't know if there's anything for me on Netflix right now. The way that broadcast networks had to address that feeling to cable subscribers back in the 1980s. Finally, Netflix announced it had acquired Australia's Animal Logic Animation Studio, which has made films like Happy Feet, the Lego Movie and more. So expect some animated movies coming at more of them. They already partnered with Animal Logic. Now they own them. So you're going to get even more of them. Alright, let's talk about art, specifically AI art. Open AI announced in a blog post, it's making its image generating AI system Dolly to more widely available, expediting access for wait listed customers. I am one of them with the goal of reaching around 1 million people within the next few weeks, previously free to use Dolly to will move to a credits model that gives you 200 images for your first month, and then 60 images every month thereafter. Now if you're saying, well, I need more than 60 additional packs of 460 images would cost $15. Keep in mind, each generation uses four images and edits and variations use three. So it does add up. Open AI says the artist will also be able to apply for subsidized access. And here's another big change. Starting today, Open AI will give users full usage rights to commercialize the images that they create with Dolly to so that would be reprinting or selling or making merchandise out of your creative artwork. And that goes back to when Dolly to was announced in April. Back then it had just passed the 100,000 user threshold. Open AI says mitigating bias and toxicity in Dolly to's evolving generations and policies governing images created by the system is what made the wider availability possible. They weren't willing to just unleash it on everybody until they felt like they had that fairly well under control. For example, Dolly now uses a technique to generate images of people that more accurately reflects the diversity of the world's population. If it gets a prompt describing a person with an unspecified race or gender, Open AI says it's also now rejecting image uploads because remember, you can upload to edit an image with text. It's rejecting uploads that contain realistic faces or attempts to create the likeness of a public figure. Dolly to already tries to avoid creating images that aren't G rated or have anything like self harm or hateful symbols or illegal activity in them. And Open AI researchers note in an academic paper called Risks and Limitations that an open source in implementation of Dolly could be trained to do stuff like make stereotypical assumptions based on terms like CEO or lawyer or something like that. So they're trying to guard against that. Quinn, I don't know how much you've played with the mini version of Dolly. We had some fun with us on DTNS a few weeks back. I find the story just incredibly fascinating because as the world starts to understand what these, you know, these these systems are capable of. And some of the Dolly to imagery is so pro and beautiful that it's just it's like a mind melt for me to be like, I just can't believe it did that, you know, based on just maybe some keywords or, you know, a little a small bit of training from from the user themselves. Have you had what are your thoughts on this? Yeah, I've played with Dolly mini as well as a couple of the other alternatives that existed. There's there's been several that have been around for a few years. Obviously, the images that come from Dolly to or kind of a step above. And they really are pretty spectacular. I do think that there is a bit of skill that's involved in creating the images because of the way that you have to structure the prompts. Because it's kind of a garbage in garbage out scenario where if you don't know what to kind of queue for, then you end up getting images that are not really that workable. And so I think it is kind of beautiful that it's got this kind of connection between human and AI. As for its potential kind of futures as an as an entity and as a business, I think this is I mean, these are reasonable obvious steps to take. And I think they're doing them in good faith. I do kind of wonder beyond Oh, look at this kind of neat little image I made, what impact it will have on society or how it will become a sustainable platform that, you know, sticks around for more than a couple years. But it's certainly interesting and a lot of fun to play with. Yeah, yeah. It's funny. I imagine if this had come out in 2012, instead of 2022, they would have just posted it with limits, right? They would have posted it with the credit limits and said, go at it. But over time, companies have learned that that is a way to have unforeseen consequences bring you down. So I think it's fascinating to watch the evolution of rollouts of these sort of things where open AI it's open is right in the name is being very cautious about opening it up for everyone to use. And I'm sure they won't get it perfect. But I think what they're gambling is that if they're upfront about saying we're being careful, we're going slow, this is what we're doing, that hopefully the missteps that do show up will allow them to have a little bit of credit with people and say, we're going to now fix that because we wouldn't have found it until we had this many people using it. The commercializing of all this is another, you know, I'll be interested to see how this goes. I'm sure that there'll be plenty of t-shirts that are made with Dolly artwork that, you know, end up being popular because they are for whatever reason, maybe it's the artist or maybe it's just the image or, you know, some combination of the two. I wonder if we start getting into that territory and a lot of people will take advantage of this is okay. Well, let's say an image starts to become problematic.   I know that OpenAI is doing, I think a really good job of saying, okay, we're going to roll this out slowly and take a lot of notes and, you know, intervene as much as possible so that this doesn't turn into a tool that just ends up being, you know, a toxic wasteland, but you can't get rid of all of that stuff. So yeah, there's a lot of questions yet to be answered. Yeah, I mean, it's brave of them to go first with that. It is. In today's blog post, OpenAI said, expanding access is an important part of our deploying AI systems responsibly, because it allows us to learn more about real world use and continue to iterate on our safety systems. So, you know, I think they're, they're doing the right thing here. But as for similar limitations in the space, you might recall, Google recently announced it wouldn't release Imogen to the public. That's its own AI generating model because of the current risks of misuse. And Meta's recently announced Make-A-Scene, which is an art focused image generating system, has limited access to what the company deems prominent AI artists. So not me. Well, folks, it's special guest week here on DTNS. Quinn is one of them. If you like what you're hearing on the show, spread the word. Thank Quinn on Twitter or TikTok or YouTube or wherever you do your thanking and tell friends and family to watch or listen to Daily Tech News show, because we've got great folks on all this week. We've reported on all the praise heaped on Apple's new M1-powered MacBook line, well deserved by the benchmarks. It's even good when it's translating x86 to arm instructions. It's faster than a lot of x86 machines it replace. In fact, Quinn, you made a video saying that Apple might have accidentally made the best gaming notebook on the market. I thought it was fun because in the video, you go through what you would expect, which is I'm going to try to run some Windows games. And you tell us that, well, running in parallels isn't perfect. It isn't better than a Windows laptop and running in wine through crossover. Well, it's not really an acceptable replacement for a Windows laptop. So what gives? What are you saying about M1 being a gaming laptop here? Yeah, I mean, if you look at how Macs have traditionally been able to run games, how most people would choose to run them was just through boot camp, right? But that's no longer an option. And so you're really it comes down to virtualization. And the performance in those sections, there are a lot of hiccups. When you can get a game to work, it's shocking how good it is because everything would indicate that it's going to be a disaster. You look at, for example, we played the Witcher 3 and that was something that this is an x86 Windows binary that's running. It's being virtualized by Windows ARM, which is being virtualized by parallels inside of the Mac, which DirectX is being virtualized into into metal. And so it's just there's so many different layers to this onion that by the time you get to the end, you're like, this has got to be abysmal. And it in some cases is actually playable. And so the question becomes, well, what could you do with such a machine if it didn't have all of this crap that it had dredged through to get to a workable play state? And there's really three categories, if you ask me, where new Macs can excel at gaming. The first and most obvious one is by playing Apple Arcade and iOS titles, right? Because you've got that store available to you that they're available. And as, you know, the iPhone and the iPad get more advanced, more sophisticated games are coming to the platform. And Apple Arcade is great because one of the requirements to be on Apple Arcade is that all games support all platforms. And so you'll find that you can actually play some some fairly, you know, beautiful indie games on the Mac, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're difficult to run. I mean, they're running on phones that are years and years old, right? So the next obvious step would be if you can't virtualize windows, maybe you can emulate something less advanced. And so emulation on the the new Macs is actually fantastic. Now that enters into a legal gray area very quickly. But there are there's XEMU, which is an Xbox emulator. There's Dolphin, which has long been known as one of the best we and Gamecube emulators. And those will play back games fantastically. Even the base model MacBook Pro played, for example, an unnamed Nintendo game with a little man in a red hat flying around a galaxy. It's it's him. Yeah, right. It was able to play that at 4k in 60 frames per second. Nice, fantastically. I mean, it looks incredible. And so the question becomes, well, what if you could run titles that were designed and built for the Mac on the Mac? And the problem is, is that those don't really exist. Because the Mac has never been a place where gaming has been much of a thing. And so even though many games are designed in unity and unreal and have export functions to create macOS binaries that generally work OK, developers just don't do it because they have to debug and they have to provide support for platforms that they're not familiar with and or a platform that has frankly very, very little market share. And so it's never been something that's happened because it hasn't been worthwhile. We did a video back in 2017, I believe, running Steam VR on the Mac when Apple and Valve partnered up on that to bring it to Final Cut Pro. And there were games that theoretically could run, but just none of them were available. So we reached out to a bunch of game devs and said, Hey, you're building these in unity, you're building these in unreal. Can you just export though? Can you just make a Mac binary one click? Don't debug anything. Just let's see how workable it is. And we got three or four games that played pretty well. But that was back in an era when the hardware was effectively the same, right? Yeah, yeah. So now that it's much different, there's really only a few games that have been that we've been able to test this on. There's Dirt Rally, Tomb Raider and Planet Coaster. Those are three games that we've that we kind of benchmarked in our testing. And what's interesting about them is they are all x86 binaries. They're running through Rosetta, right? So these are not compiled for our native to the M1. Yeah, yeah, right. But they are compiled to run on the Metal Graphics API. And in Dirt Rally, we were playing that game at 4k Ultra on the M1 Max MacBooks at more than 100 frames per second, which was almost double that of competing Nvidia 2070 Super Max-Q SPECT laptop. The 30 series laptops have gotten quite a bit better on the Nvidia side. And so we tried Tomb Raider in 4k at Ultra and we were getting about 80ish frames per second. And that was pretty comparable to an Nvidia 3070 in a laptop, which is a much hotter, much larger chip. And as we moved to Planet Coaster, a game that was fairly CPU heavy, Apple Silicon really flexed its muscles and the performance was frankly better than I've seen on almost any PC, certainly laptop, but even desktop. So that's where things get potentially exciting is this hardware is capable. And there is one title, literally one, that you can go out and buy today. It's in the App Store. And not only is it running on metal, but it's compiled specifically for Apple Silicon. And that is the remake of Mist, the classic kind of Mac game. And the performance is excellent. It's as good as a laptop that I say this in my video that only costs several hundred dollars less, which sounds like a jab. But it's not because Apple has historically been not even in the same price bracket when it comes to gaming their hardware that they had released, you know, historically did not have very good video performance. And when you compare it dollar per dollar, it was it was an abysmal value. And now the fact that it's even close is impressive. But I would go so far as to say that even if the performance doesn't quite get to where many of the best gaming laptops are on the PC side, it doesn't matter because the Mac has things that are not available literally anywhere else. Yeah, it's just a matter of getting the games. I get what you're saying now, which is they made the best gaming laptop. They just didn't create all the on ramps, you know, to make it easy for developers to transport it over there. Yeah, I mean, if you think about it, the 3070 laptops that have been coming out, the total package TDP, and those are a lot more efficient than the prior generation. These are PC laptops that are drying in excess of 250 watts TDP of energy. They're incredibly hot. They're very loud and noisy. And the MacBook Pro is not. I mean, it's dead silent and its power is so low that it can run for literally hours longer than the closest competing PC laptop. It's got excellent speakers, which are never found on PC gaming laptops. And the display is is excellent. Not only is it higher resolution than most of the other competing PC displays, but it's it's 120 frames per second refresh. So very, very quick, thanks to promotion and it's mini LED. It's it's the best laptop display period. And so to see all of that available in a price point that's only marginally more expensive than the best PC gaming laptops is really exciting. The downside is that we come back to Apple and software. And I don't know that that's going to change. I mean, if you look at the most recent keynote with the M2 release, they talked about how Resident Evil Village and No Man's Sky were coming to Apple Silicon this year. But that's been a joint effort that they've made with individual game studios. And the reality is that there's just not the market share to make those ports worth it for almost anyone. Certainly not large game companies, but even indie devs. I mean, you're you're kind of pushing the buttons. And it really makes me ask the question, does Apple need to start acquiring gaming companies to make this happen on the Mac if they want to? Because the people don't realize and are one unwilling to admit that Apple has an enormous hold on the gaming market, just not the console kind of PC gaming market. In fact, in 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple had recorded an eight point eight billion dollar net profit in that fiscal year, which was more than Sony, Microsoft, Activision and Nintendo combined. So Apple is just making an extraordinary amount of money on the App Store. And I think because of that, haven't really cared to push into a much more competitive kind of triple A gaming market. But they now have the hardware to do that where previously they didn't. Yeah. And so it's just a matter of whether they'll ever get the desire to do it when they've got that gravy train of mobile. That's way easier to compete in. Yeah. Oh, totally. It's a very good point. I think they'll have to acquire companies because you look at Microsoft, Microsoft recently purchased Activision Blizzard. They purchased Zenimax, which owned Bethesda a couple of years ago. Sony purchased Bungie of Halo fame, which was previously on a competing company. You know, so for good or bad, there is consolidation in the gaming market going all the way up to the top. And Apple's kind of just sitting on the sidelines saying, Hey, you guys, we've got these really good graphics APIs and our hardware is nice. It's not going to compel anyone to come to the platform. Well, folks, if you've got ideas for what you would like to see Apple do, email us feedback at Daily Tech News Show dot com. Before we get out of here, let's check a couple of those emails from the mail bag, Sarah. Yeah. Scott wrote in about our Monday show with with Jack and we were talking about the term hacker and what that means is a good as a bad. Scott says, we shouldn't let inertia lead to a default win for the misuse of terms. I stand by hacker as not being intrinsically a bad term. And those who feel the same way need to dig in and resist by computer by continuing to use the term and its proper positive context as well. We vote for the language future we desire. Yeah, I don't know if I feel like it's as important as some other things that you might need to dig in and resist for, but I get where I get where Scott's coming from. And I think Jack, Jack helped, you know, fortify me for the good fight there. Tony in Albany, Oregon, said I just finished Friday's episode as for drone delivery, I think more likely than accident from a faulty drone is less likely than someone taking one down from the ground as an FAA part 107 licensed drone operator for part time real estate photography. I've had people throw objects at my drone on at least two occasions. A delivery drone carrying heavier objects has even more potential for causing harm or property damage if it falls out of the sky. I know this has come up before, but just thought I'd mentioned it again.  Package theft isn't the only reason people could attack these two times is not bad. I'll be honest, that's a low incidence, but I'm sure it didn't feel low when it happened to your drone. So I totally get where you're coming from, Tony. Well, thanks for the emails, everybody. Keep them coming. Feedback at daily tech new show dot com. We love to know what's on your mind. Something that we talked about peak peak your interest or spark a conversation you like to keep going. Do send it our way. Also, thanks to Quinn Nelson for being with us today. Quinn, such a pleasure to have you. Let folks know where they can find you on the Nets. Well, thanks for having me on. You can find me at youtube.com slash snazzy and on all the socials at snazzy Q. It's a good that's a good handle snazzy Q. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Also good are brand new bosses. Boy, do they make our day today. Simon and hardwired spelled very leady, lead speaky. They just started back at us on Patreon. So thank you to Simon and thank you to hardwired. Yeah, big thanks to both of them and a special thanks with a four for hardwired and a seven for the tea. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's because we're lead. There's a longer version of the show called Good Day Internet, a.k.a. GDI available at patreon.com slash DTNS and starts right after we wrap up here. But just a reminder, we're live Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern twenty hundred UTC. You can find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live and we're back doing it all again tomorrow talking about how to get started in 3D printing with Joel Telling joining us. Talk to you then.

We just made this no tools DIY front porch welcome sign That's fall themed and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do it to do a little bit of make it so do we and we have a new video each week This week. We're heading back gnome with some new fall front porch decor designs Yes, we've been working on our fall designs and we have this new Gnome fall front porch leaner and I'm really excited about it now We have to make a bunch of these to take to the craft shows or think it's gonna be a good seller, but Brad is injured. He's on the disabled list One of the kids borrowed the nail gun and brought it back broken. He Doesn't shoot his shot anymore So we're gonna try this with liquid nails instead. Yes, we've done a no tools before But we're excited to show you how we can build these with no tools Well, none of your tools right none of your tools and only three cuts. Yeah, only three cuts Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies We needed two six foot tall dog-eared fence pickets We went to our local home improvement store where I creep it we followed Kim with the camera You could find these pickets in the garden center You think they're over by lumber, but they're not they're out here at the garden center And there's two types of pickets here So I thought I would show you because we get lots of questions There's one that's a little cheaper with a much rougher surface. Do you see how grainy this is? You would need to sand it this or plane it in order to paint it, but then there are these others that are a little bit More pricey, but they're the premium pickets and they're much smoother finish And we don't sand or prep them in any way. We just go ahead and paint or sand them Yeah, they're like a baby's bottom You can see that a lot of them are warped and you could tell they're warped a lot of them are still wet So we like to lay them out in the aisle and find which ones are actually flat and not warped or bowed You can definitely see them And these are the gothic pickets we use these this is where the three cuts come in we cut these into three 11-inch sections These are the braces that go on the bottom top and in the middle try to keep it from warping And then I found this gorilla construction adhesive It says it holds in 30 seconds. It's all weather paintable and it holds something like 50 pounds or something. So I totally think this will work. I think we need more so I grabbed a bigger tube We had to lay the pickets out in the warehouse so they dry up I didn't want to try painting them or gluing them while they were still so moist And we wanted to keep them flat so they don't warp while drying And you're gonna need the little vertical gnome kit so little It's not little it is well It is huge this happens to be our biggest kit ever. There are three stacked gnomes And this is just one of them, right It's gonna look like three gnomes in a coat But they're big easy pieces to paint and assemble we all for the optional paint kit to go with it You can find it in our store at kngmakeit.com. We'll leave the link down below Step two We're gonna make all of our cuts. We're gonna cut this gothic picket into three 11 inch pieces You can cut your gothic picket right at the home improvement store You can take it over the trim section and use the hand saw to cut the three pieces Or or you can do it like this employee right here who was very insistent That he does it all the time on the panel saw So we let him do it and it worked and they cut it for us. Yeah Step three Time to assemble we're going to use that gorilla glue construction adhesive Say that three times fast and we're going to glue these pickets down to the other pickets So this first picket is just a spacer We're going to add the construction adhesive on the back of the second picket You want to add this in a zigzag motion? And we're just going to flip it and press it We're going to take that spacing picket and put it down the other end We're going to do the same thing down here. We're going to space it one picket from the bottom We'll come in with a zigzag motion. I really want to do spirals, but Kim insisted that we stick with zigzags That's what it said on the package I'm just going to press it in a place squeeze it pretty tight I will move on to do in the middle spacer the middle spacer I'm just going to kind of eye up what I think is the middle or where it's bowed the most and attach those two there Yes, if your pickets have any bow to it You'll want to put this brace the center brace near that bow section to kind of keep that thing from bowing any further And straighten them out a little bit. I'm going to use a little bit extra adhesive here on this one Only because it's concave and I hope this will fill the gaps We're going to set some heavy paint jars on here after about 30 minutes I really couldn't move the pickets with my hand They're pretty pretty stuck and full cure time is 24 hours Step four Time to stain we're going to stain our pickets you can paint or stain them We're going to be using this verithane's briar smoke to stain ours. It's my favorite stain color That is for go to you and if you haven't heard me say it before I'm just going to say one more time How great these stain pads are this is a terry cloth stain pad Over foam I guess I'm not really sure what's inside But it really does hold the stain and I can do a whole picket with just one Little dab like a couple of tablespoons Once the sponge is fully soaked. Yes, and then I can put this sponge back in a baggie and save it For next time so I can do lots of sets of pickets with this one sponge Also, you see I am using some Gloves here. So we typically use rubber gloves, but A while back we got these one of these dipped gloves And so the bottom half where my hands are holding the staining pad Is waterproof so we're not Yeah, so the stain isn't coming through and I can reuse these because once I finish staining with the stain pad I'll come back. We just use paper towels to wipe them down And it also wipes the stain off the gloves. I can take the gloves off set them aside and reuse them for the next set as well Those disposable gloves got really expensive really quick Yeah, well, we do so many and we do it so often because we also stain rounds It's great to be able to use these little a little extra saving the environment. They don't make your hands as sweaty True.  They're easy to paint I mean, that's like a full-size beard I would win beard contest if I actually had this beard Here's the full kit. You want to make sure you have all of your pieces We're gonna group our pieces and paint them one gnome and one gnome at a time. Yes One gnome at a time. You see here. We're using blue painters tape Uh, the pieces in the middle here are flipped upside down So they're sticky side up and you see I have them taped at the top and the bottom This will hold our pieces while we roll them so that they don't move as you roll over them We're using all of our fun fall colors our oranges our greens our browns Here we're mixing colors for skin tones. We got asked about this earlier this week. How did we do this? This is how we do it. It makes a little yellow a little white And now we have a good skin tone color for his nose a little bit of this little bit of that Kind of just mix it until it looks right And this is our second gnome. He's holding an acorn Here you can see we're using those foam rollers and the small four inch Roller handles by using the foam rollers here. We can reuse them for our next project In this case for our next set because we'll be painting a bunch of these The trick here with the foam rollers is to make sure you only have a little bit of paint on the roller You can see I use the paper plate and then I I dip it in the paint And then roll the roller on the plate to make sure I get even coverage across the roller And then I use a really light hand as I paint the pieces You don't want to push too hard because the paint will lose out of the foam roller The highlight to squeeze the paint directly on like the beard And kind of just use the roller But you have to be a professional which garret is not for this because he tends to use too much paint And then your roller is soaked full of paint one coat kim one coat No, no light multiple light coats are best I'd say Go big or go gnome And here's our third gnome our top gnome. He's got a full hat and he's holding the leaf Again, we're using our foam rollers Garrett's putting too much paint on this beard and I'm putting a light coats on each of our pieces Again, they'll dry quickly. They'll dry in just a few minutes And then you can come right back with the second coat Now mine might take a little longer to dry, but I can do other things while it's dry Well, then it leaves. It's a little bit streaky.   It was actually heavy So you'll see I roll off in the plate. I'm not actually dipping this in any paint It has so much paint on the roller that I'm actually Taking off paint by rolling it onto the plate So that I'm putting a light coat On the letters First coat you can see I just laid the roller down in the baggie because I'm coming back to do a second coat To think about it like cost-cutting. It was like it was pretty painted roller for you Yeah, it definitely was Step six It's time to assemble all the gnomes. We're gonna bring it on gnome by gluing all the little bases down to the pickets Using this gorilla construction adhesive Okay, we always start with what we call our dry fit. We lay all the pieces out We make sure we know where they're going. We have the proper placement and the proper spacing and it actually fits on the board She's a big one and like Garrett said he's using the construction adhesive And we're gonna assemble from the bottom up. You see we just moved them up a little bit And we use almost all of our kits we glue bottom up Yep, we're gonna start with the big beard with his little feet. We're gonna attach his hat Then the next beard for gnome number two Then we'll try to slide in his little feet Then we'll get the gnome number two's hat glued down We'll glue down the beard of gnome number three We'll slide in his little shoes his little feet Finally we'll glue his hat down and i'm not using any zigzag patterns here I am just drawing shapes with the glue. Kim is furious But I did find that with the letters it was easier to just put a little dab of glue about every half inch or so Then to try to run a bead of this glue around each letter And that's a good tip for all of our kits whether you're using the construction adhesive or the store bond Little glue dots work great And then with this because the construction adhesive is this thicker white color It does dry white So you'll want to keep it thin and inside the actual mdf so it does it ooze out That's right. Watch the ills Now we're coming back and we're going to add all of the top pieces his hands What he's holding his nose and for these pieces We know that star bond our star bond thick works the best It definitely holds mdf to mdf for a very long time For the star bond thick I'll run it around the frame like i'm doing here on the pumpkin And then i'll quickly flip it over gotta be quick though because if it drips and if it dripped on the beard It's over and then we'll just add all of the insert pieces into the frames The great thing about having a frame around some of these pieces you don't have to worry about how If you got any paint on the edges Those edges can They can stay sloppy. Yeah, those edges Garrett can paint Here we're doing this again on the acorn Um, the great thing about this again is that you have this frame here And you want to flip that over quickly Add your glue on the insides and then you just slide your pieces in like a puzzle For the hands, we're just going to glue them to the actual like little acorn Or pumpkin or the leaf I don't think he actually needs arms nobody will see them Some of our other kits we have interchangeable accents But this is actually a fall kit so his hands can be glued right directly to the accent pieces And then the accent piece it gets glued directly to the beard We know malabama that thing is looking hot It definitely feels fall But these gnomes are gigantic They're they're big because this is a six foot picket, but I think it looks great I think it's so cute. It's one of the cutest kits we've ever made It is definitely the biggest kit we've ever made But yeah, I like it. I definitely think it's cute And I definitely give a big thanks to all of our patrons We love you guys love the interactive with you guys and I love sharing all of our files with you I'll put this little gem up there On patreon and a little bit and then you can take this sucker right on gnome with you All right, we are about at a time So if you're not going to join us for the patron after show We will see you next week where we'll do it building and make it again. Oh, and don't forget uh for Oh, and don't forget about test cut Tuesdays where we try out new files and we paint them live every Tuesday We have a new file. We'll see how it goes And we'll see how this one goes. I got a squat Gotta get my squats in at the same time. I mean seriously Great job
