So you found a tweet was like what was your top five Marvel MCU quarantine movies, right? Yeah, so comicbook.com sent out a tweet You can bring five MCU movies into quarantine with you. What do you grab? So you've got the entire MCU to Choose from but you only choose five of them. So the way that I looked at it was You know Does you know, do I want to pick the movie on the humor of it? Do I want to pick it on the story? Do I want to pick it on the characters? Like I mean, do I want to put as many characters that I can possibly see into one movie? So that way, you know, I'm not neglecting one movie towards another movie These are some of the things that were going through my head as I was Compiling my list of five But before we get started, please take the time to hit that subscribe button and the bell to stay notified of all of our videos Right here on miscellaneous debris. Why don't you start us off? What would what would be? Your five movies that you would take into quarantine with you, right? Let me have to see it. So the way I looked at this was that I knew there were certain Movies that I knew I'd want to see right so I automatically put those into my next top 10 You know, so I just kept on putting movies over there And then I crossed off one I made the whole list and I crossed off ones I knew weren't gonna make the list, right? And that's how I came up with my top 10 Can I can I guess a few of them that were that were automatically excluded? Yes for the dark world the Incredible Hulk Iron Man 3 Yep, and I'm gonna go in off the wall one that you probably wouldn't put on Avengers Age of Ultraman Yes, that did not cut the cheese. All right, I remain to I did not cut the mustard as well. Yes Yeah, well, those are pretty, you know, unanimous.  No, that one's in our cabinet and there's another one that has like a little deformed because it got a little too hot next to something You had a little lip. Yeah, these are these are the great I don't know where the hell they came from but these are the greatest cups in history of mankind. I love those cups now so Those movies you just rattled off those are pretty much, you know In my opinion the bottom feeders of the MCU and I'm not saying they're bad movies. They're just the bottom feeders, right? Like There's there Your Korean Meads bottom feeders to keep it clean so, you know, it makes everything else better Alright, so anyways, I had it down to my top 10 and then that's where it got interesting because I was like damn I really don't want to leave out any of these movies. I want to take them all with me So I picked two I knew for sure we're gonna make it and then I picked two out of those top 10 that I knew weren't gonna make it So and then I left me six those be six movies to choose three out of man. I gotta tell you it was not easy It was not imagine. I mean, I was sure as well You I really had to fight it So I'll just tell you the top two that do I try to guess that my top two that knew we're gonna make up for Sure, my top five Yeah, I can do that. Um, just try to guess to One of Ragnarok is gonna be there Ding ding ding ding ding yeah Second one is probably Wow Endgame That did not make the automatic top two Well correct, but but Ragnarok did Okay So the top two that I knew we're gonna make it for sure you just guess we're Ragnarok. The other one was Winter Soldier Um And then the other three man, I had to choose between six movies. I'm like, damn. This is really tough I didn't know I didn't know what to do. Yeah, um So I just kind of had I had to go with it like You know how much I love Captain Marvel like I really enjoyed that movie. I loved it a lot I was that was gonna be my other guest besides uh endgame. Yeah, so Captain Marvel You know made the cut And then the the last two Avengers ones infinity war and endgame I just feel like they're like But the perfect the perfect book and like you gotta have them both together Either you can't have one or the other in my opinion You gotta have them both because they're just it's like one movie. Yeah, so I that was my top five I had in no particular order obviously, you know Winter Soldier Ragnarok Captain Marvel Infinity war endgame right Yeah, I uh, I had very very similar issues Getting my my top five together. Um like Like I said, you know, was it the humor that I wanted to see was the story that I wanted to see but like But the main thing was like the characters. I'm like, all right If I can only watch five movies while this entire quarantine is going on It's like, you know, do I want to say that I want to watch? Uh You know A deep cut like like Iron Man like I love the I love the first Iron Man, but like The only character you're getting is Iron Man Right and so it's like I mean, I love the movie but like I I might need a little bit more. I mean the story is great. Um, but you know, I might need a little bit more So, you know, what do you think my top two? Going in automatically word Oh Wow Really, I think I'm gonna do the same thing. Hmm. I think there's I'm choosing between four movies There's four movies floating around in my head right now that I really think you like a lot. Um Wow, I gotta pick two I'll be lucky if I get one um Damn, well one I've mentioned that is my favorite Marvel movie. I mean I don't even know how many times on this on this podcast I know I'm I'm so my two guesses are going to be Winter Soldier and Ant-Man You got one correct. Yeah, that's about Winter Soldier so the The whole ant-man thing is like, you know, I I have said on this Podcast a million times I have an affinity for ant-man. I have a very special connection with that character and the the relatability of of the character and And It leads me to my second one That was automatically going to be on my list Not because I think it's the better of the two But I think it's it has the most of what the MCU can offer and that was uh Avengers endgame Now I think That Infinity War is a better movie than endgame However With everything that I was putting into These these categories I was like I gotta put endgame in there because you've got every single character that you could possibly want In the movie. So it's like, all right. So Winter Soldier endgame. We're definitely going on the list Now once we get down to the bottom three, that's when things got a little bit rocky for me because like You know, I I love the spider-man movies But do I want to just include? Spider-man and the vulture and in Mysterio. So it's like, uh, well, I got spider-man in endgame So, you know, I'll I'll take it for for for what I can get. I'm like, well, Civil War is a great movie, too But it's like, uh, what's the kind of the same it's kind of the same thing. So I went with my my tried and true Uh Picks that if I'm sitting down to watch You know anything in uh with Amelia my daughter Um, who happy birthday Amelia. She just turned 12 yesterday. Um If we got to pick three movies that we're gonna watch These are the three that we're gonna watch bottom three rounding it out Dr. Strange Guardians of the galaxy and can you guess the last one? I I know I can't ragnarok. Yes, correct Absolutely, I mean, it's one of the best movies in the mcu. So how can you not pick?  So I felt that It did uh, it did a justice by putting it on the list. So yeah winner soldier endgame Not strange guardians of the galaxy volume one first one and go ragnarok Which you know, you're leaving off, you know 15 some other movies on these lists here and You can find Good things in all of those movies. Yeah, I mean, this is completely subjective But if I had to choose five movies to go to quarantine with those are the five movies And I'm going with this is subjective. This is not this is Tried and true truth man. This is fact This is the Clearly definitive often changing probably wrong completely definitive List of five Whatever the hell I came out with that one night. That was pretty yeah, that was totally I ripped that too. I did not come up with that I just there is like you didn't write that down. No Look at you knock it down Yeah, so the the last five on my list here just so that you know, the other ones I had to choose from are the last three We're Avengers The original Avengers Guardians of the galaxy and civil war so Yeah, so I mean we were pretty on the we're almost on the same wavelength there Yeah, I mean dr. Strange should not make my cut of a top 10 And neither did any of the spider-man movies. So well the the real reason I picked dr. Strange. I mean not I mean you it's the Basically the same story as iron man told a little bit differently Um, so it's like it's like the force awakens It's the force of waking. Yes. It's the force awakens of the end. That is a really good analogy Wow Well, you know I came up with something important once in a while Some good I thought about it and it's the it's the only movie in the mcu that deals in the the magical side Of marvel comics and it also has the visual stimulation of You know inception or something like that because I mean it's the only movie in all the mcu that looks like that So, you know, it was part of the criteria of me of me choosing it plus, you know Amelia loves it and we sit down and watch it probably, you know Once a week so dr. Strange Yeah Wow, it's either that or the spider-man movies because she loves spider-man Shocker. Yeah, um Or you know, or right Rob because you know, we want to laugh so Right, right. I think you're to watch the winter soldier the other day and I have I have watched a little more, you know after watching it Yeah, but it's she she still prefers other things The the reason I like winter soldiers so much. It's so grounded in reality. Like I almost feel like it could be is you know besides like This world-saving organization being over, you know, filtered by an evil organization Basically, like it seems more grounded than the rest of the mcu. Like it's moral in reality Oh, absolutely So I think that's why I can relate to a little better. But I mean I I've watched I'm making my list right now I've watched my I've watched eight out of my top 10 Since quarantine started. Oh really? Yeah in some of those multiple times And it's not like I'm seeing I'm watching them. It's it's I want to know you have it in the background I mean that that's what I I can't tell you how many times I was making dinner I I can't have I've had in-game or infinity war on just like bloop or kept the marvel bloop. Yep sitting here working bloop. Put it down that's what used to do with agents of shield all the time and I would get yelled at for like are you watching the show again? I'm like, dude It's on the background not even paying attention to it And then something would happen in the show I'd be like, oh, this is a great part They'd be like you're totally paying attention to this Sorry Well, let me ask you a question How do you feel about The mcu changing all of their release dates? Yeah, see here. Here we go because I was convinced That they were going to put Black Widow on disney plus and make it their first streaming release I don't know pushing everything back and I I don't know that's such a good idea Well, you know, what's the old saying in kevin we trust?  I want to see You know a new marvel property come out. It'll be a year since well almost a year But far from far from home came out in july. Yeah, so We're not gonna get another movie before then I know so it'll be over mid about about You know 16 months. Yeah something like that So and that's a long time Not that I'm I'm plenty of mcu stuff to watch and read about but It sucks, you know, of course, I want to see something sooner, but it is what it is Well, I mean, what are you gonna do? I mean It just pisses me off because now it just pushes everything else farther down the pipeline Like it's not like they're putting a new premiere date in they're just replacing it Yeah, movie, right? So we're just like bumping everything down the line Yes, which sucks is now you're not going to see kept the marvel 2 to to 2022 You know, thorough love and thunder is I think in 2022 as well February so I mean holes isn't going to come out until 2021 Because black widow is going to be taking their premiere date in november Yeah, no, but that yeah, but that's it'll be yeah, so yeah, like I'm saying they're just they're just Yeah, so it turns will take the february when I think or may I'm not really sure So anyway, it just sucks Yeah, because now, you know, we we got to wait even longer for you know, whatever they're going to be doing Fantastic forwarder. I mean like like the whole you know The whole MCU is is thrown for a loop because of them the push and don't be wrong I completely get them just changing the release date and not releasing a streaming because you know the revenue streams that it takes To recoup the money that you use to make these movies You know, you have to release it on a on a big platform But I think releasing it on to like black widow releasing it on to a streaming service We would have bought more goodwill with the fans By giving them something In this horrible time that we're living I mean, yeah, we're gonna be getting agents of shield in a few months But not everybody that watches the MCU gives a shit about that Especially like I do I can't believe that isn't out yet because I feel like they stopped filming this like a year ago I thought they did too, but maybe we just have our timelines wrong and that they shot it later than they we actually thought that they did I don't know. I mean, I have no idea when they did it So, I mean, this is all speculation and hearsay on my part. So I you know, do you want to hear the new release dates for all these movies now? Yeah, absolutely. She remember 6th 2020 black widow. So That's taking the Eternals old spot Eternals is now February 12th of next year sad Shang-Chi and the legend of the 10 rings gets the May 7th, 2021 I think that was gonna be See that they're already talking that's that That was gonna be the next spider-man movie already less than a year away. We're almost uh, see I don't get it. It's crazy. So yeah, so that okay.  Yeah All the movies down the room. I mean, yeah, it was like I pushed down which kind of sucks But I understand it, you know, but at the same time I was reading a thing today or I'm not reading I was watching a program this morning about how Movie theaters are going out of business after this whole Yeah, I I didn't realize this but apparently amc was already like Struggling before this thing happened That before too and uh because they were talking to the guy that owns imagine entertainment up here And what he was saying was that um, they'll get some new investors um, probably drop a few of the the You know the bad theaters, but a lot of them Do a little And they'll be fine like The local amc theaters in detroit metro area those should all be fine because they're all strong Um, he goes imagine theaters buying up here too. You know, I don't know about mgr up here, but uh, let's see what happens


Artists, if you are serious about your art, if you want to be able to build a career, right, where you are able to fund your lifestyle, your family's lifestyle if you have one, your employee's lifestyle, or at least put yourself in a position where you can even have employees in the first place, then it comes from doing one thing, rethinking, right, how you see this game. I'm small things, I'm serious, and I have multiple clients to show for it, and I want to explain what that is and how they're approaching things, but it's really, really small, and I'm not gonna have time to do a full video, I'm gonna do like a deeper videos on this in the summer, when I have time to like make it really tactical, so you can just follow it straight off a YouTube video, but I do want to like touch on this. So, I'll say it like this, if you want to be free, and when I say serious about your art, I started the video saying serious about your art, because this is what I mean.  I'm thinking about one person in particular, but just talking to these clients where you go from struggling and heads down and complaining or then feeling entitled and then feeling like, well, am I lazy, or do I want to do all this stuff to be successful in this industry and get these streams, not even label, not even label stuff, already decided I can move without a label if I need to, but still playing the game. You're playing the label's game without a label, which is a wild thing to do. That's what most artists are doing. But when you rethink it and finally crack that code, man, so all the artists have basically said it to me like this. In our conversations, one, they feel like they say they beat the game in some form or fashion.  I don't have to drop a song a week to win. I don't have to drop content every day to win. And they feel like they can make music for the original reason that they started making music, which was a love of it, because now they're not creating from this pressure of, I gotta drop content or drop music just for it to possibly go and feed an algorithm. I'm making it when I feel led to do it, more off the inspirational side. And there's no pressure on how much money the music makes. It's just because I've already built a world of my music where I know there's gonna be people who super appreciate it. And I know that there's gonna be people who are willing to pay me for that experience, whether they're paying because I sold a specific project. That's only one route, right? Oh, I'm gonna sell you a song or whatever, or sell you a vinyl, or they might pay for experiences like my shows or other experiences, extraordinary experiences. I'll call them because there is no exact same experience for every single artist. It depends on your fan base, which I'll get to. So this is what it looks like. It comes down to understanding your audience. Understanding your audience. Understanding your audience, I gotta say one more time, understanding your audience. And this is why. Most of the artists that I talked to, they make this grave mistake. And I saw an episode on Shark Tank one time, and they basically depicted it perfectly. There was somebody who was doing something really successful online. I can't remember what the product was, but it was like killing it. And they were selling online direct to consumer. Most brands of their product style would be in stores.  What are you gonna do with this money? And they said, oh, well, the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna get in retail stores and expand. And they were like, why? Why do you wanna get in stores? You already beat the game. Your margins are extremely high.  That's the most valuable part of the game. You're going direct to your audience, direct to your customer. You have all of the information the way you're doing this online. Why would you go backwards? That was how they saw it. And you can tell the people weren't ready for that. Cause they were just like, I want this money. It reminded me of artists just being like, well, I just want this record deal. I don't know, cause I imagined that that's what success was like. Getting an investment from some VCs on Shark Tank or something. That was kind of where their mindset was. That's how they imagined success. So they were kind of doing it out of the going through the motions versus reevaluating where they actually were in reality. And not realizing not only were they successful, they were more successful than the version of success that they imagined for themselves. But because they couldn't see it, they were going to work backwards. Crazy, right? That's why I see a lot of artists doing because we think about this whole direct to fan thing. And a lot of these people have been preaching this for years. It's not just me. So many people like that. You can't even name it. It's just been a common thing. And everybody says they want to do it. But you know what the problem is? People don't actually take the time to use the information, all right? A lot of people don't go to the, a lot of people don't take that first step to like go direct. A lot, and then most, I'm almost stuttering. Then after that, a lot of people don't collect the information and then even more people, even more people don't actually use the information to study their audience, understand their audience so they can use that information to make more money from their audience, to deliver better experiences to their audience. It just comes from a backwards mindset in how artists are trained to think versus any other business infrastructure. And unfortunately for some of y'all who don't want to think from a business standpoint, building a career around yourself, supporting yourself financially requires the business side of things too. What do I mean by this? Well, artists get told it's all about you, right? It comes from you. It's not even real or authentic if it's not just whatever you thought. Music you made only for yourself. Every single piece of art and pixel on your website was only for yourself. Who cares, whatever anybody else thinks. That's how artists are told to think. And then the strict, complete, non-creative technical side of business is like, well, what do people want? Understand what people want and then understand why they want it and then deliver that to them, right? It's that simple. Well, how do you flip that? You have to understand that doing this process, by the way, I know the phone's wobbling and everything. I'm holding it, doing this video for my phone because I had an audio issue, but I said I'm gonna drop a video every Saturday, right? I think for the artists who struggle with this idea, where you should be able to reconcile with this is if you first create from within and express outwardly, you're gonna attract people who are attracted to what you created, right? So you're still creating a world of people based on what you have inside of you. However, when you want to monetize that world of people based on what you have inside of you, you need to be able to think more from their perspective, right? Understand what they like about what came from inside of you. Understand what other commonalities you guys have, right? Understand what experiences do they dislike, what experiences do they love, what elevates an experience. And here is a perfect example that I like to share. I've always been doing this for years and that's why some of these artists have used this process. Say if you have a show, for instance, what artists do wrong is they start inward and think outward a lot of times, right? And what that looks like, again, is I want people to come see me and I wanna feel amazing. I want to live the vision of what I saw as an artist when I was a kid. Being on stage and people loving me, singing my words, right, that's it. It's not even about their own artistic expression and what they personally would love a lot of times when they're thinking about shows. They don't elevate it to that level. So just to get you out of your own head or out of your own way, how do I create an experience that's amazing for everybody coming to my show if I never performed? How could I make that show amazing, right? What if there are no performances on stage even? These are just thought experiments to force you creatively to think of new ways to stimulate your fan base, right? Please your fan base, all right? Once you start to think about that, then say, how can I insert myself into that experience and not just slide myself in, but how can I use me to elevate that experience to a whole another level? Would they really love this? I'm not just the cherry on top, right? I'm the icing too. How do you do that, right? Just a thought experience, right?  For some people that might look like having a comedian up there or something like that or it might have certain lighting. There's all these little things, right? And maybe it's an outside show versus an inside show. You're doing a show in the mountains in the middle of a hike. I don't know, it depends on your audience. All this depends on your audience. But just like that type of thinking, I promise you when the thing happens and you do it in that way, what we're seeing is people are getting new fans without trying. And this is what I've, I got a video on this channel a couple of years old, at least that somewhere in the middle, I talk about passive fan creation, right? It's really at the end of the day just word of mouth, but like creating a machine for that. And what we're seeing now at artists earlier this week was like, yo man, like people were coming. And I was like, how did you find out about this? Like, why are you even here? Cause you never even heard my music yet, but you're here. And there are like, well, my friend told me that I need to be here. That's it. And there was enough about how things were packaged to make them feel like they should go ahead and come. Sounds were about right. And then when they had the experience there, got the music, they're a fan. How do you do that? Right? And you can do that digitally, you can do that physically. We're seeing this over and over again and the artists who are experiencing this level of freedom and how they present and being able to like, drop music and not have to worry about the algorithm and not have to worry about putting out a certain amount of songs a year, that's the commonality. They're understanding their fans to be able to create experiences or create a packaging and a communication line. So great that the fans start building the world for them. They start bringing new fans to end. It's that simple, right? Now, the nuance of course is you, right? What does that look like for you?  I might even do a PowerPoint or something. At some point this summer, I've been wanting to get this out from the beginning of the year, but it's just been a busy year. But I can say this already. I've seen the small change have big results for people already who joined the 30 day challenge. And for those of y'all who've been asking, yes, we're gonna go ahead and do it again. We'll have a link in the description below. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll talk about it at the end. But the 30 day challenge is like this small tweak and we've had people who only had like 1900, well, I'm thinking about one by a person in particular. Somebody who had like 1900 followers on Instagram didn't realize they have like 500, like legit, legit fans out of that 1900. Legit. I'm talking about we'll do stuff for you, we'll migrate, we'll buy. That's what they're finding out already. That's a big deal. That's a big deal. Because how many followers on IG do you think you need to have to have a thousand true fans? How many streams do you think you need to have to have a thousand true fans? If he can have 1900 followers on IG and have 500, the number doesn't have to be that big. Now the question goes, how did you build your followers? That's the real question that some of y'all are fooling yourselves with, right? So that's a whole another story. And one of the artists that has actually expressed this freedom to me has said, yo, like what made it finally click and me start to do it and follow the process. And they are there more than there. I'll just say multiple hundreds of thousands now that they're making. I was like, well, a couple of years ago, we were having this conversation and you were talking about certain people and you were working with what they were doing. And I'm looking at them like, yo, they barely have any IG followers. They barely have any monthly listeners compared to them, right? Cause I think the group they were referring to only had like 10K monthly listeners. This person had like 200K monthly listeners. And these other people were touring, making money, funding their career, right? Legit indie, it's very possible, right? So just know that changing how you look at your audience and think about your audience, truly understanding them, not just, oh, I'm gonna try to go sell something. Man, I wish I talked about trying to sell something earlier. I don't wanna make this video much longer, but I would say this, people make these drastic jumps from, this is more of a rant video. Hope you all like it. People make these drastic jumps for, I'm gonna go and play the industry's gaming and sign to a label. Wait, nevermind, everybody says it's cool not to be at all labeled. So I'm not gonna sign to a label. I'm gonna be independent, but I'm still gonna play the exact same game with the exact same goals and milestones that I'm trying to hit as if I was at a label. And then they realize, okay, that'll make exactly that much sense. Most people don't even realize that, but the ones who finally do, they realize it doesn't. But then they go the other extreme and they're like, oh, I need to sell something to my fans ASAP. I need to sell something to people ASAP. Matter of fact, I don't even have any fans, but I'm already thinking about how am I gonna sell to my fans and how am I gonna build this group and like get them to pay me like $1,000 for a track when you haven't even thought about really still building a fan base. That part does not change in the game. I don't care which one of these you're doing, right? As a matter of fact, there's a little room for smoking mirrors when you're on the label play game, but there is zero room for that when you're doing the indie and I'm trying to monetize myself game. You cannot ignore the first step, which is build fans and then understand those fans and then monetize, right? In different ways or build relationship in different ways. Okay? And before I forget that 30 day challenge, again, I said it at the bottom of the description. It's $1 straight forward. It's a way to build fans, focus on your fans, how exactly we're doing it, the software that we're using, et cetera. I'm sure that there's more information on the page in the description or something, but I wanna not lose my thought, but I did have to mention that cause I said I would mention it earlier. The problem is you end up never actually building a fan base when the first thing you do is I wanna go direct the fan and then the first thing you're doing is trying to sell something.  Here's the trick. Cause some of y'all might be like, well, yeah, I did make some sales. Some people did buy my project. You can sell if you promote something correctly and package it correctly, you can sell something to a non-fan, to a non-casual listener. People do it with products all the time. You didn't even know a product existed and they sold it to you. You just saw it the first time you were in the store. But this isn't the point of this as an artist. You can go sell anything, right?   So you can't forget that process first because if you're just trying to sell to people, I use an example all the time and I'll probably use it 50 more times this year in videos. There's artists who are selling music on the street still to this day, selling CDs. People can't even go listen to them but they're selling those CDs. Did they make more money off of their music than you? Technically, cause their music's on the CD and they're saying, hey, check out this song. Go, go ahead and get that CD and then people are paying out of support. But what's really happening there? I had one guy who came to me as a client. He had made $50,000 selling CDs. But he didn't have a fan base, right? Why? Because people weren't playing the CDs. They were buying it off of his salesmanship. The way he packaged things, the little bit of pressure that he was willing to put on people at times, right? So the point is anybody can sell something. I know it might not sound easy if you haven't done it but building a fan base is way harder than selling something. And if you actually want a fan base and don't wanna have to work to sell your way up hill every single time starting over and you wanna get to a point where you can just drop your music or drop an announcement that you'll be someplace in a show or drop that you're gonna have a pop up and then people just sell it out. If you wanna get to that point, that starts by the fan base first mentality. Before you try to start all these groups, before you try to monetize and sell an album or sell some merch, all right? People are getting it backwards. I get the label like not being the ideal way extreme but don't go to the other and forget that we're trying to create art and fan base is off of art. Y'all are acting like labels. Just trying to monetize people at the end of the day. Like y'all are going straight to the same mentality except y'all are keeping more money and that's the problem that I'm having when I'm seeing. So if you wanna build yourself out to be free, understand your fan base. Once you understand your fan base, provide for them. And of course you wanna start from somewhere internal but you gotta be able to build your experience and understand them at the end of the day. I don't know if I actually said the site. See this is why I wanted to mention it. Earlier before I forgot, but I think I still forgot to mention the actual URL. www.nolabelsnecessary.com slash dirty days. Information on for that thing I mentioned earlier should be there. But other than that, it's Saturday. I'm recording this thing on my phone and I'm trying not to drop and wobble my phone too much but hopefully y'all got value after this video and I will be doing like more formal breakdowns of like exactly the steps that we have clients and people executing. We're not getting a chance. Like it's gonna take time because when I do it, I for real want to do this, right? But hopefully y'all understood enough nuggets to be able to take it and run with it for those y'all who are in the right place to do so. Peace.


The Kraft Foods Company presents Harold Perry as the great Gilder Sleeve. The great Gilder Sleeve is brought to you by the Kraft Foods Company makers of Par-K Margarine. Millions of women all over America serve Par-K because it tastes so good. Why Par-K tastes like it should cost twice as much. To market, to market, to get some Par-K. Home again, home again, try it today. You'll like it, you'll love it, like millions who say that they were as margarine-y. P-A-R-K-A-Y Par-K Margarine made by Kraft. A few weeks ago the great Gilder Sleeve bought an interest in a lady's hat shop which Adeline Fairchild started next door. The venture has been such a success. We find the great man and his nephew Leroy over there nailing more shelves on the living room wall to accommodate more hats. Add a boy, Leroy. Hold the shelf steady. Okay, uncle. Bet you can't drive a nail in with three licks. I'll bet I can. One, two, three. Hit the wrong nail. Leroy knew your idea. Sorry, uncle.  I can drive a nail, Leroy. Besides, that last lick doesn't count. Stand back. Okay. Three. Not bad, uncle. Oops, knocked some plaster loose. Gosh, what a chunk. I'll bet Mrs. Ransom wouldn't recognize our power. Oh, well, it'll never show. After we hang one of Adeline's picture hats over the hole. Good idea, uncle. I'm glad you asked me to help you this afternoon. You are? Of course I am getting a little tired. Maybe I ought to go to somewhere and relax. Yeah, like in a 25-cent movie. We'll see you, Leroy. Well, look at the two little busy bees. Hello, Adeline. Hi, Miss Fairchild. I'm helping, uncle. And you're doing a good job, Leroy, but gracious. Get on the floor. Scratches? Oh, well, I guess I did that moving the piano into the bedroom. The rock morton, the floor looks awful. Now, Adeline will have it refinished sometime out of the profits. Any checks come in the mail? Well, I haven't looked yet, but we got a lot of letters. We did? Well, let's look, uncle. Maybe I should go to the movie out of the profits, too. Oh, yes. The movies. Well, here's a quarter, Leroy. You've been a big help. So have you. Thanks for the quarter. Goodbye, Miss Fairchild. Goodbye, Leroy. That boy. All he thinks about is money. Well, let's open the mail and see how many checks came in. This must be the check for Mrs. Bullard. Mrs. Bullard? Uh-huh. After the way Mr. Bullard panned our hat shop, I didn't think she'd buy one. Well, there it is. Isn't that pretty? $32.50. If I, George, Adeline, this shop's a gold mine. Bullard may pan our hats, but we're panning the gold. Oh, you. Say, here's a center envelope. Hmm, nice perfume. It smells like...it is. It's from Leela. Doesn't Leela? I didn't see that. I haven't heard from her in weeks. Wonder what Leela has to say. It's Rockmorton. If you'll notice the envelope, it's addressed to me. It is? Oh, Ellen, you better read it. Hurry up. What are you so excited about? It's only for my cousin. Excited? Who's excited? What does she say? Well, I'll read it out loud. Dear cousin, now that the social season in Savannah is nearly over, I can't wait to get back to my charming little home in Summerfield. Leela's coming back? Sounds like it. Does she say anything about us running a hat shop in her house? Hat shop? Rockmorton cousin Leela doesn't even know we have a hat shop. Of course she...what? Well, I've been so busy getting the shop starting at all, it hasn't occurred to me to rate her birdies. Oh, my goodness, Adeline, we shouldn't have made all these changes without consulting Leela. You know how fussy she is about her house. We haven't made so many changes to Rockmorton. All we've done is take down the drapes and store her parlor furniture in the basement. And paint the parlor chartreuse. Yes, and of course we did put in a few counters and nail some shelves to the walls. You know, Rockmorton, she may be a little upset at that. She may be. What else does Leela say? Well, she says, I can't wait to get back.  What a picture. And listen to this, Rockmorton. The thing I look forward to most of all is curling up with a good book on my favorite love seat. Well, she'll have to get out of the basement for that. The books are down there, too. Oh, dear. When Leela walks into her parlor, there goes our hat business. What do you think we should do, Rockmorton? Well, perhaps one of us should write her and explain things. You, for instance. Me? Why don't you write to her? Me? I can't write. I hit my thumb. I know I'll get Judge Hooker to write to her. This looks like a job for a lawyer. Hello, Judge. Well, well. If it isn't our versatile water commissioner. What's on your brain today? Water or hats? All right, Hooker. Courthouse comedian. What? Judge, I want you to handle some confidential correspondence for me. Confidential?  What is it?  I'm not going to hear any scandal. Oh? Well, what's on your mind? I want you to write a letter to Leela Ransom for me. You want me to write a letter to Leela? That's right. It's so important to me. I want it phrased by a lawyer.  Of course, that's all over, and you know it. My past with Leela is just water under the bridge. And stored in your reservoir of memories. Oh, Firm. This is no time to be poetic. Leela's coming back to town. And she doesn't know her house is a hat shop now. Well, Gelde, it looks like you have a little explaining to this. I hate to bring this up, Judge, but you were the one who advised Adline to go ahead with a hat shop in the first place. And you're also in charge of Leela's property. So the explaining is your job. My job? That's right. And I have a little suggestion. You have? You write to Leela and convince her that the hat shop is a good idea. That's all there is to it. But Gelde, you're putting me in the middle. Well, you're an old goat. Let me see your butcher way out. Somehow everything looks brighter today. Maybe because it's Sunday. Hi, George. When Leela gets the judge's letter, everything's going to be all right. You bet. I don't have a thing to worry about. Hello, Auntie. Hi, Aunt. Hello, infants. Auntie, I saw Miss Fairchild in church this morning and she told me Mrs. Ransom's coming back. Yeah, what about that? Well, what about it? Well, she seemed afraid Mrs. Ransom might close the hat shop. Now, Marjorie, I had Judge Hooker write Leela's letter yesterday explaining the whole thing. There's nothing to worry about. Well, I hope not. Remember, you promised me a new Easter suit out of the profit. No, my dear, you'll get your new suit. Hey, where about the new bike you promised me out of the Easter profits? I've been looking forward to Easter like it was Christmas. I'm well aware of that, Leeroy. You don't have to worry about a thing.  No, Leeroy. A hole in the wall? I'll say. And if you see the scratches on the floor where we moved the piano. Anki, you scratched Mrs. Ransom's beautiful floor? No, Marjorie. Oh, no, I know she'll close your hat shop. Oh, my goodness. Where are you going, huh? Out in the backyard where I can get away from you gloomy gusses. I don't want to hear any more about Leela closing the hat shop. Oh, hello, Mr. Gillespie. Hello, Bertie. Mr. Gillespie. Yes? Miss Badshot will tell me you might have to close the hat shop. Bertie, don't you start worrying, too.   We won't be eating. What? I'm only kidding, Bertie. I'll still be the water commissioner. Oh, they got me worried again. The judge sent the letter, Saturday, air mail, special delivery. And here it is Monday night. Yeah, Leela should have received it today. I wonder what she'll say. After all we've been to each other, she can't possibly object to me running a hat shop in her parlor. No. I know what she'll say. She'll be the same old Leela. Tender as a kitten. I'd have had to make all of them a little old hat shop. I knew it. Twice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, good old Leela. She won't refuse me. I don't think. Still, that hot, southern blood may boil when she hears about this. She's so emotional. She can get angry, though, if she happens to be in a bad mood when she reads that letter. Fragmore and P. Gilda sleep. I was afraid of that. Doorbell. I'll get it, Bertie. I'm up. Evening, Gilda. Judge, come on in. What's the news from Leela? Now, Gilda, wait until I get Makoto. Well, hurry up. Come on in the parlor. What did she say? Just a moment while I get my file on the matter out of my briefcase. Oh, I don't know why you bothered to unzip that shabby old briefcase, Judge. Why don't you just pull the papers out through the holes? Well, Gilda, here we are. Leela Ransom versus Fairchild and Gildersley. Does it come to that? I don't get excited, Gilding. It's easier to file this way. A legal form. What did Leela say? Well, first, I think I should read you the letter which I dispatched to her. Oh, my goodness. Well, I'm quite proud of it. I worked on it for three hours. It'll take you that long to read it. Give it to me. Very well. See, my dear Mrs. Ransom. Well, nice diplomatic opening, Judge. Thank you. Very good.  You outdid yourself. Wait until you come to the piece de resistance. Not only has your parlor become a focal point for summer field society. Good point, Horace. Excellent. But by reason of the fact that Mr. Gildersley and Ms. Fairchild have refurbished both the exterior and interior of your home, the value of your property has been greatly enhanced. Judge, I never would have thought of that angle very shrewd. Lawyers are all right. In fact, your whole letter is a masterpiece. I thought so, too. That's why I can't understand this telegram I just received from Lever. What? I'm arriving tomorrow to close that hat shop. If there's the slightest damage, we'll sue. Well, there aren't any slight damages, just a hole in the wall. And that didn't work, Mr. Wall, so I said to him, Lever, you eat them greens. Did that work, Bertie? Nope. There are types of melts.  That get any action? No, sir. Then what did you try? Well, I just stopped saying anything.  Then you ought to see any, Mr. Wall. Well, I sure, parquet tastes so good. That's why, Bertie. Yes, there, Mr. Wall. Parquet tastes as good on greens as it does on biscuits or waffles. Whether you use it for bread or cooking or flavor, parquet tastes like it should cost twice as much. That's right, friends. And parquet has that light, delicious taste because it's prepared like a rare luxury food from the selected product of American farms. What's more, every nourishing pound is reinforced with 15,000 units of essential vitamin A. When you taste parquet, it's hard to believe that it costs only about half as much as the most expensive spread. So, if you want to win your children over to certain vegetables that they may be a little balky about eating, or if you just want to make good food taste better, you try parquet. That's P-A-R-K-A-Y. Parquet, the luxury spread made by craft. The margarine that tastes like it should cost twice as much. Now let's see how the Great Gilders leaves recovering since he got a shock from a wire. Oop. A Western Union wire saying, close that hat shop. Well, if Lila's coming tonight, it's too late to get her house back in shape. I might as well face the facts. There goes my profitable little sideline. I think I'll stop in at Peavey's for a coke. Hello, Peavey. Hello, Mr. Gilders thing. What can your friendly neighborhood junkies do for you? Well, you can give me a coke, Peavey. Very well. And put a lot of fizz in it as I need it. And that's all? Yeah. A little upset. Got some bad news last night. Oh? Miss Fairchild and I have to close the hat shop. You don't say. Yeah. Lila Ransom is kicking us out of her house, bag and baggage. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Gilders thing. Peavey, I don't see how Lila could do a thing like that. Well, sometimes women are hard to understand. And I say that with all due respect to Mrs. Peavey. Huh? I had the judge write Lila a very diplomatic letter. A masterpiece. But she wouldn't listen to reason. Well, if I want Mrs. Peavey to see things my way, I don't resort to reason. Huh? Ellen Sebasti, no. Well, how do you get her to see things your way, Peavey? Well, a person might not suspect it, Mr. Gilders-Leave, but Mrs. Peavey is a sentimental soul. She is? So I just sit down with her and recall our Halcyon days together.  How we first met at that Sunday school picnic with the time I snitched that hard ranger out of the botanical gardens for her. Huh? Does that work, Peavey? Yeah, I'm here to tell you. Before you know it, Mr. Gilders-Leave, she's letting me smoke in the house again. Peavey, you've given me a great idea. Leela's coming back tonight, and it may take a little hard work, but I'm going to sit down and do the very same thing with her. You call that hard work? What? Peavey, you're an old rascal. Well, I think... Well, maybe I am. Goodbye, you old rascal. I don't know why I didn't think of having this little private talk with Leela before. It's the only way to save the hat shop. Have a man-to-man talk with her. Man-to-woman, you mean? What? Dr. Morton, I know you and Cousin Leela, and I don't think this is a good idea. I'm going to the train with you. No, Adeline, you better let me handle this alone. I'll take Leela right from the train to my house. Why, your house? Well, so she won't see all the changes we made and get excited. Oh. We'll have a quiet little talk, and before you know it, she'll be letting me smoke in the house again. I mean...  Sure. And I'll call you right after I've paved the way. Well, just be sure you've paved the way to our hat shop and not back to your old romance with Leela. Adeline, you've got to trust your partner. Well, I do trust you with the money, but I don't trust you with Leela. Oh, my goodness. Believe me, this is strictly business. Well, I will say, Bertie, you've done a nice job fixing up the power. Thank you, Mr. Gale Sleeve. You really think Ms. Ranson's going to close the hat shop when she comes? Well, I think she might change her mind when we sit down and talk it over tonight. Yes, sir. Want me to move the couch closer to the fire? The couch? Now, Bertie, this meeting is strictly business. Yes, sir. Where do you want me to put this dozen red roses? Roses? Well, you might put those on the piano. Don't move the sheet music I laid out. If she's hard to convince, I may have to sing to her. Sing to Mrs. Van. Sure, sounds like a old time. Yeah, no, Bertie. This is the only way to save the hat shop. Yes, sir. Nothing personal about this meeting between Mrs. Ranson and me at all. It's hard-headed business. Yes, sir. You want me to burn a little of that business-type incense in here? Incense?  I don't want to be too hard-headed about this meeting. Yes, sir. I wonder where she is. I don't see her getting off the train. Say, maybe Lila's changed her mind. Women do change their minds. Wouldn't it be wonderful if she didn't come? Well, Salkmaw. Are you the welcoming committee? Lila, for a minute, I thought you weren't coming. Disappointed because I did, Salkmaw. Oh, no. Why isn't Cousin Aslan here? Well, uh... And my lawyer. Lawyer? Well, I told Adeline and the judge I'd like to meet you alone, Lila, because you and I are such dear old friends. Oh, almost forgot. Here's a little kiss from the welcoming committee. Now, just a minute, Salkmaw. What? If you think I came all the way from Savannah just to stand here with you and smooch on the depot platform, you've got another thing coming. Lila. Grab my bags and take me home. What's been going on in my house? Huh? Here we are at home, Lila. Aren't you going to take me on to my house, Salkmaw? Well, I thought we'd stop and talk here at my place first. But, Salkmaw, now I want to see my Paula. I doubt that. Come on, Lila. How about... I have a little welcome prepared from a little old girlfriend. Well, stop pulling me. Oh, sorry, Lila. Is that a neon sign I see in my window? Plenty of time to discuss those things, Lila. Right now you need some hot chocolate. Great after a train trip. Come on in for old times' sake. Well, I might run in for a minute. Sure. Old friends like us can take a few minutes to recall our Halcyon days. Uh-huh. Here. Let me help you out of your coat. Oh, thank you. Haven't done this in a long time. Oh, gracious. What beautiful roses on the piano. Glad you liked them. They're for you, Lila. For me? Old Throckmont. You shouldn't have. Oh, yes, I should. Sit down, Lila. Bye, George. You look wonderful. Pretty as a picture. You really like me in this little old rash? Do I? Excuse me, folks. Oh, come on in, Bertie. Mrs. Ransom's here. Well, Bertie, it's nice to see you. Nice to see you, Mrs. Ransom. Welcome home. Where do you want the hot chocolate, Miss guilty? Uh, here on the coffee table, Bertie. And thank you very much. Yes, sir. How's everything, Mr. Ransom? Just fine, Bertie. That's good. And how you doing? Just grand. That'll be all, Bertie. Thank you. Yes, sir. Great pleasure. Thank you, Bertie. Bet you that I could see all the snow. Wasn't she? Bertie. Oh, yes. You got business to talk about. Mr. Throckmont. Business? I haven't the slightest idea. Throckmont? I smell a lot. Must be that incense. I mean, by George Leal, it's wonderful to have you back. Remember the fun we used to have together? Well... Picnicking, going to the movies, holding hands in the balcony. That was a long time ago. Sounds awfully childish now. Oh, I don't know. Remember the time we were going home from the sleigh ride?  And we put our heads together and made one pair of ear muffs due for two. Nothing childish about that, Leela. And we shouldn't forget those things. Now, Throckmont, what past is past? That's all water under the bridge. Well, it may be. But it's stored in my reservoir of memories. What Throckmont? I didn't think those things meant so much to you. Oh, yes, they do. I never forget a friend. And I don't expect her to forget me either. Throckmont, are you trying to sweet talk me because of that hat, Throckmont? Me? No. Not doing so well better put on the pressure. Leela, how'd you like to have me sing? Oh, now, Throckmont. Come on over to the piano and play for me. Well, just once, and then I'll have to go next door. All right. And I just happened to have some music laid out here. Oh, Throckmont, you mean you can sing? I'd like to get you on a slow boat to China. I sure would. I mean, I sure can. Well, I hope I can play. Oh, sure. Beautiful, Thatchilly, Leela. Oh, you flatterer. I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China all by myself. Keep you in my arms evermore with a moon big and shiny. Yes, Leela.  Oh, now, being so nice to me, having fun. I came up here to close that hat shop you and cousin Adline started. Well, I'd do anything for a friend. I believe you would. So do you know what I think you deserve? What, Leela? I think you deserve that kiss. What, Leela? You know what, Leela? What? I think you deserve one, too. I think you deserve another one. Who said that? Oh, Adline. Oh, my gracious. So this is the way you're saving the hat shop. The hat shop? Oh, yes. By the way, Leela. You're saving the hat shop. So that's what you're up to now. Say something. Don't partner me. We just dissolved. Yeah. And it's for you, cousin Leela. A lot of people are firm believers in eating pancakes triple-decker style. And if that's the way you like them, try this the next time you have pancakes for breakfast. Put a generous helping of Par-K margarine between each layer. Then you're set to enjoy the light, delicate flavor that Par-K brings to food. No need to hold back, because for all its delicious taste, Par-K cost only about half as much as the most expensive spreads. Yes, only about half as much for this spread that brings a real luxury to any food you use it with. Try Par-K this week. That's P-A-R-K-A-Y Par-K margarine made by Kraft. The luxury margarine that tastes like it should cost twice as much. Judge, guess what happened? I thought I was going to lose all the money I had in the hat business, but here's Leela's check for $200. Oh? Yep. That's a nice share. You don't say. Yeah. Takes a pretty smart man to get his money out of a business that's being closed. Well, guilty after talking with Leela, I discovered that she didn't come up here to close the hat shop. She didn't? No, and she heard how successful the shop was. She just threatened to close it, so she could buy you out cheap. What? Oh, well. A man has no business in ladies' hats anyway.

stuck with your business and if you need more help reach out to me a number of ways you can do that you can visit the description below and you can either schedule a call to talk with me about your business or if you want to apply for our sports accelerator program you can do as well visit the link below this video it will take you to a landing page you can have a look at all the results that we're currently having with the coaches that we're working with or that we have worked with and there'll be a link there where you can apply for to become a member of our coaching program and get our personal help so today i want to talk about why coaches can earn more money through private training than club now today's video is not to put any coach watching off club training right i personally love club coaching i've been a club coach since i've started coaching and i still do today but something that i see a lot and something that i would like to change in this industry is how undervalued and underpaid unfortunately club coaches are especially with the role that they have within the club system okay club coaches are they do a tremendous job okay they work with kids there a lot of those kids look up to a lot of coaches they play a very valuable role in in society and i feel that that should be rewarded for the job that they do but unfortunately it is the industry we're in and a lot of club coaches they put a lot of time effort and energy into these kids into these players into these clubs and they aren't really rewarded financially they might be rewarded in in other in other areas or in in other ways but in terms of the financial rewards which in our company that's essentially what we look at they aren't rewarded so this is why a lot of them then decide to transition into private training and start to set up coaching businesses to try and make more money doing what they love okay and doing what they love but at a higher level as well so i want to share my screen here okay so you should be able to see my screen now again if you are currently a club coach i want you to i want to encourage you to continue doing it but at the same time look for other ways where you can supplement your income most of the coaches we work with are coaches that are doing this now full time they're they're committed they're dedicated to the two private training and but most of them have come through these pathways either that they've been a PE teacher at local schools and they've decided you know what i want to start my own coaching business so they leave their teaching role and go and start a coaching business or a lot of them come through the club system where they aren't happy with it with the politics at certain clubs they want to do things their own way so they set up their own private training academies and they they work with kids the way they want to to work with them okay so today i want to give you a two examples right and this is just a general example this isn't someone specific that we're working with um something i do every single day when i get to my office is i research our industry and i have a look at right what are clubs paying coaches what are coaches that have private training in the uh businesses what are they currently charging for private training okay and i try to gather as much data as possible and essentially that's what we create on the content that we put out on our on our youtube channel okay so today i want to give you an example of i'll just we'll just call him coach james for this video right so what coach james two examples of what he's earning as a club coach and what he's earning as a private coach okay so on average in this industry club coaches are earning around about 20 per hour okay some may earn a little bit more depending on what qualifications you have but the average coach is earning around about 20 per hour okay also most coaches coach anywhere between two to three teams per week okay so in the example we have above and in front of us i've got team one 20 hours sorry 20 hours 20 dollars per hour times three equals 60 hours per week it means 240 per month so this coach he's with one team he's training them so this includes two training sessions plus game day on the weekend uh just say training sessions are one hour so essentially he's working with that team with three times per week and he's getting paid 20 hours 20 hours 20 dollars per hour to work with that team right so 20 20 dollars times three equals 60 dollars a week which equates to 240 dollars per month that he's making on that one team alone now obviously if he's got three teams then we times that we times 240 times three it gives you a monthly total of 720 so coach james is currently getting paid 720 uh dollars to work at his local youth soccer club okay now if we look below hours worked on the field says this is the amount of hours he's actually coaching uh his teams is 36 and below that i've put hours worked off the field which is 36 so hours worked off the field is obviously travel training session parent parent meetings parent support emails that you're answering whatsapps that you're responding to club events a lot of clubs run certain events throughout the year that you attend and most coaches aren't paid for them paid to attend them so all of this adds up to hours worked off the field which in most case you're not really getting paid for it you only get paid by your club the hours you are on the field okay so if we do 36 times 36 equals 72 hours per month that you're dedicating yourself to the three teams that you coach at at the club so if we do your earnings which is 720 dollars per month times the amount of hours you're working which is 72 it leaves coach james with 10 dollars he's making per hour okay so again that's 36 hours that he's doing away from the field which is not paid but we include it in the total so essentially it works out about 10 dollars per hour that he's he's working with his three teams so coach james has now decided to create his own private coaching business and now he's put together uh camps that he's running on a monthly basis so coach james is now running three camps per month on each camp he has 20 players that are paying him 20 dollars per camp so if we have a look below so camp one 20 dollars times 20 players equals 400 dollars that he's making per hour so this camp is running for one hour um per month okay camp two same again 20 dollars times 20 players that are attending that camp he's making 400 dollars per hour camp three 20 dollars times 20 players 400 dollars per hour now coach james hasn't hired any other coach he's doing it himself so he's working with 20 players by himself on that camp okay now if we look below monthly total that he's making running those three camps and this is before any costs is 1200 okay so if we times 400 by three gives you a total of 1200 that he's making with running three camps per month so if you have a look hours worked on the field so he's only coaching for three hours uh per month because it's three camps uh hours worked off the field again if we include travel training uh parent support email and the camp itself okay he's roughly working about six hours per month with his his coaching business right running just camps and this doesn't include one-on-one training small groups clinics this is just the camp service that he's offering okay so if we take what he's making uh offer the three camps 1200 divided by the the six hours that he's working it gives you a total of 200 200 that he is making from running camps so if you have a look at that the the total that coach james was making with his club which equals 10 dollars and now he's making 200 right working less hours working with maybe more committed clients and he's narrowed down the amount of time he's he's actually working per month he's actually earning more money through private training than he is at club where he's working more hours he's more restricted to growing his income because that's the amount of hours that the club is willing to pay and any extra the club isn't paying for it whereas here he's working three hours on the field he's working three hours off the field and he's maximizing his time when he is on the field and he's getting paid more money for for his time okay so if you need more help or

Hey, hello buddies. Thanks for watching. Okay, so a question. I've been seen a lot is how are sales? What's selling right now? Let's see.

Maybe sales will pick up so far. I I'm still steady. I have highs and lows on eBay's no matter what on eBay's on eBay No matter what I mean, it's just like a roller coaster ride for me. Some days are awesome Some days are just horrible. So What I am right now, I've noticed everything's kind of steady today was super slow But I just had a couple sales a little bit ago. So that's good. My fan just kicked on So I'm curious to see if I get any blurry pixelated Issues I know that a lot of people are streaming Right now because everybody's cooped up inside.  So if you want to watch me awesome I've got tons of Bolo videos, but there's tons and tons of youtubers other resellers out there So go check them out. Now's a good time to check them out while you've got time on your hands. All right I spent three minutes talking. Sorry. I don't normally do that. Let's get to some Bolo's All right, here we go Screen share screen share screen share. Where is it? All right? So the first item is major bread and butter, but you know I sold this right on the first day when things were you know, they're starting to say schools are down and you know Now restaurants are down restaurants and The other thing I feel like there's something else But yeah, anything like they're saying stay home I mean, we are not on a full lockdown, but you know, they're it's highly recommended at this point. So The these two pair of shorts I sold them for $9 and the buyer paid shipping I pick up stuff like this at garage sales all the time I bulk them up and then I'll do like a bulk buy and I love stocking my Poshmark Closet with kids clothes because people will bundle them But because I have lists perfectly I cross-post to eBay and I just happened to sell this on eBay So I took it and they left me awesome feedback All right, this was a retail arbitrage. I picked this up on the actual Lane Bryant website So typically when I buy things on there, I'm paying a little more. It's a retail arbitrage deal, you know I usually use a coupon I'm gonna say I probably had between seven and eight dollars in this and I took a best offer of $24 and the buyer paid shipping The next item is this kaseek brawl again same brand as the other swimsuit top. I just showed you This one I picked up at a discount store. I pay Geez, what is it? I think they're six bucks plus tax This is a 34 H. So it is a plus size brawl, but the band is a smaller size and a larger cup size So yeah, I do pay up for these but they typically sell pretty well they are Usually say black lined but they use the different color marker actually like the new markers They're using to to mark them out and that just prevents Somebody like me buying it from the discount store and then returning it to the actual retailer This one again six dollars. I took a best offer of 20 plus shipping The next item are these swicks women's pants. They are a full side zip I picked these up at a garage sale over the summer for three dollars It's a part of my I need to list all these clothes. I listed it and it sold like I don't know if it was the next day or within two days. It sold super fast $50 is what I sold them for they do retail for 129 and the buyer paid the shipping This little golf mini golf set I sold it for $15. I took a best offer and Again, I just picked these things up when I see them It's been listed for a little while I think that this probably sold because people are inside and they're wanting to play games and do activities So yep, I took a best offer of 15 in the buyer paid shipping The next item I've showed this before but I bought tons and tons of these I've already sold 76 at this point. I'm just trying to get rid of them all I sold it for nine dollars and 71 cents plus shipping So it is a bread and butter item, but if you take 76 times nine dollars and 71 cents, that's a pretty good profit I think I paid a dollar or two dollars for those Victoria's secret brawl. It's new without tags again The the labels are cut to prevent store returns. I sold this for $17 plus shipping and I think I paid three dollars for it The next is this wire wrap Bengal bracelet. I bought this at in the state sale. It was the last day I bought the entire table. I got a really good deal. So I probably have less than a dollar in this I took a best offer of twenty six dollars plus shipping and it is super super cute The next item I got was this USS hat and I picked this up at a garage sale for 50 cents Oh, I bought probably 30 or 40 hats from the same person and most of them are this USS Bread and butter, they're not selling super fast. They're more of a long tail item But if you can get them for 50 cents or a buck, I highly recommend it I sold this one for twenty two dollars plus shipping The next item is this vintage 1964 red writing hood costume wolf mask It's missing the nose and I still sold it for sixteen dollars plus shipping The next item is this patchwork. I think it's high row tender take-and-play die-cast train. I Sold this for seventeen dollars plus shipping. It was a bulk Thomas the train buy that I purchased So I probably had less than a dollar in it The next item are these shopkins. I Did like a mystery lot of fifty and I sold it for nineteen dollars and thirty six cents plus shipping This casique baby doll. I picked this up at a discount store. I bought a whole bunch of them I want to say they were between three and five dollars I can't remember I've had them a very long time because I bought a bunch of them This is a really old listing I took a best offer of fourteen dollars plus shipping Okay, these vintage Ken shoes I sold these for twenty dollars and thirty five cents plus shipping they notified me today that I shipped the wrong ones and they were thanking me for the extras and What happened is I think I shipped I had two lots of Ken shoes And I think I shipped the other lot to the other person and they didn't complain So I never knew that I shipped the wrong item and then this sold and I just grabbed what was left and then they messaged me and told me that I Shipped the wrong thing or actually I think they thought that I shipped the right thing, but I was I Shipped extras. I don't know what they thought but they ended up being happy and keeping the item so it all worked out, but basically I Messed up and it all worked out both buyers ended up being happy and keeping the item And I do wish that the first person would have contacted me and told me that hey you messed up That way I wouldn't would have taken down this listing, but it all worked out and Both buyers were happy and all is good The next item is this nylon powered jewelry bead stringing cord. I Listed these these sold really fast I Ended up taking a best offer of $9. I had it up for auction for $12.99 and the offer came in like right after I listed them for nine bucks, and I'm like, okay, you know, I Don't have a lot in it. I it was a garage sale bulk jewelry buy and I got a huge bag full for like next to nothing. So I went ahead and took the $9 plus shipping This Timex was a watch that my husband picked up. I don't know what he paid for it He buys watches all the time. He's a collector and He sold this one for $25 plus shipping These shorts I've had them for ever. So I took an offer of $7.56 Just to get them out of my store. I probably paid like a buck for him at Gabriel brothers. It was either gaves or TJ Max, I'm not a hundred percent sure but I did not have much in them The next item is this vintage skipper doll I pick up vintage Skippers and vintage Barbies whenever I can this one is not a real desirable one. She's got a little bit of an issue on her leg Somebody offered me nine bucks. So I took it. I probably had less than a dollar in her and the buyer paid shipping This Pokemon pop sockets I've sold ten of these I have two left. I took Actually that one sold full price for $11 and 87 cents. These were a Toys R Us buy I think I paid like a dollar something each Okay, so here's a funny story I Had this in my basement for a very long time and I was like I don't feel like listing it So I put it in my car to take to the the Goodwill or the Salvation Army or whatever Goodwill not Salvation Army And I was like Courtney just take it in and just sell it as a lot You know, I mean it's gonna take you a Little bit because you got a package it and you know find a box I just didn't want to deal with it So like I said it sat in my car for like a week, but I just could not bring myself to donate it So I brought it back in and I listed it and it sold within a few I think within a week it sold really fast for $44 and the buyer paid shipping So it's just a bunch of miscellaneous vintage hot wheels things And I thought about separating it and selling the pieces separately, which might be what the person buying it's gonna do But I didn't want to try to put it all together. I don't know what goes with what so I don't know I'm glad I took it out of my car though because the $44 is gonna come in handy right now Especially when sales are kind of dipping This Boyd's bear I sold for $15 and 25 cents and the buyer paid shipping Is a nice bear because it's expensive and I'm like, oh is this gonna be a buyer's remorse case So I will keep you guys posted on that, but I think they're gonna be happy. It's a really nice bear Okay, these beads again came with that lot that I picked up over the summer and I sold these for a best offer of $20. I had it on auction. They offered me 20. So I just took it It's 35 bead strands. It's basically just crafters jewelry making stuff, which I'm doing really well on right now Again, probably because people are home and looking for things to do now these swab sticks. It's kind of I Forgot I had them. I've had them for so long. I think I got them last summer at a garage sale They were like two bucks for all of them There's 250 in here and Again, they've just been sitting in my store. I literally forgot about them Somebody offered me $14 plus shipping and I said sure so I took it and I'm guessing that these are probably coming in handy right now The next item is this vintage trendmaster star castle. It's a little locket I sold this for $45 plus shipping. These are collectible. They're kind of like polypockets But they're trendmaster star castle. So be on the lookout for those The next item is another item, you know, again, I pick these up at garage sales I usually will go up to the person at the garage sale and I'm like, what do you want to sell all of these clothes for? I make a bulk buy and then I usually lock them up, but this sweater was really cute I sold it for $12 and 67 cents Plus shipping All right, these Chinese I think it's boating or bowting I'm not sure how to say it, but they're iron balls They chime and you kind of move them in your hand like a I don't know if it's like a form of meditation or what But in my recent thrift haul video I passed on two of these because they had them at like six and seven dollars and I probably should have bought them Because these sold really fast for $35 and I've sold them in the past for $45 I think I can't remember exactly what I sold it for but I thought it was kind of a fluky thing and I got lucky But these sold fast for $35 So I probably should have bought those from the thrift store. So definitely be on the lookout for these The buyer did pay shipping So this is another playbill. I did sell one of these on Mercari also it was the same set I had two sets and I sold this for $40 and I did get a note from the buyer asking me to please wash my hands Before I shipped the item which I was completely fine with I messaged them back and told them Yes, I would wash my hands before I shipped and this item shipped out. I think today So it is on its way to its new home sold it for $40 plus shipping The next item is this Kansas Penit I took a best offer of $8. I had less than a dollar in it. I bought a bunch of them at a garage sale and The buyer paid shipping The next item is this Clinique wrappings perfume. It is vintage the lids cracked. I sold this for $50 By our paid shipping. This is a part of that vintage thrift store Perfume haul. I love love love selling vintage perfume one of my favorite things to sell So these sold today their vintage miniatures I got these at a garage sale I think it was over the summer. They're just little miniatures. They were in a little ziploc bag I think I paid a buck for all of them. I sent offers to watchers for $18 and they accepted and they paid the shipping This because Catherine's brawl. It's a plus-size brawl. I pay $5 plus tax for these at a discount store Again, they are blacklined. I sold this for 2112 plus shipping These shorts again were a retail arbitrage I purchased them directly from the Lane Bryant website So I probably had eight probably eight or nine dollars I usually do it when they're having some sort of sale like their clearance items And then I use a coupon and I sold this for $24 and 20 cents and the buyer paid shipping And I have one left if anyone's interested my link to my store is down in the description of the video The next item I sold on Poshmark is this DC Comics Superman piggy bank I picked this up at a garage sale really cheap over the summer I sold this for $30 on Poshmark Poshmark takes 20% and the buyer pays shipping The next item is again a part of that crafter's lot that I was telling you guys about that I got over the summer for not much I may have underpriced this stuff. I took a best offer of $58 for all of these Again, I didn't have much in it and It sold the next day literally the next day The bad news is is it was over five pounds. I think it was seven pounds So I had to pay seven dollars extra in shipping So my earnings on this were 46 40 and if you subtract The eight bucks that I had to pay in shipping that brings that down quite a bit Which is kind of a bummer, but again, I got a really good deal on it. So All is good. It was uh, it was a good buy and I also sold this I think I don't know if it was the next day or the day after I listed it But I sold these two lots for 35. So posh took seven and I earned 28 and again I might have had a couple bucks in it. So really good The crafters jewelry making supplies are selling fast again, probably because people are home This casique swim swim escort I picked this up at a discount store. It is new without tags. It is black lined I sold it for 15 dollars poshmark takes their 20 percent And so that wasn't a huge profit. I probably I think I had around three dollars in this This little photo charm thing came with a lot of jewelry that I picked up over the summer. Um, I I guess in probably 25 cents in it and I sold it for 15 and the buyer paid shipping This victoria secret bra. I sold it for 19 I paid three dollars for it approximately give or take and The victoria secret stuff it doesn't move super fast. It's kind of a long tail item These american eagle jeans are plus size 20 I got 25 dollars for these the buyer paid the shipping poshmark took 20 So I believe I got these at a garage sale for a couple bucks What the reason these sold higher are because they are plus size and that's typically harder to find The next item is this carlo santana perfume. This was from my thrift store vintage Perfume buy so I had about 30 some cents in it Sold these sold this for 37 dollars with free shipping. So I did pay the ground shipping which is around 750 approximately to ship And mercari takes 10 percent this annalee raggedy andy doll from 1997. I love picking up annalee They're very easy to recognize. They have the faces that look like this and they're felt This one sold for 23 dollars with free shipping and it sold pretty quick. I listed it on February 10th The next item is this nicolodeon avatar. It's a momo plush. I've had this listed since january Plush is a little more long tail. It depends how you price it. I had this priced Kind of high because I've done pretty good with the nicolodeon avatars in the past So I sold this for 33 dollars with free shipping. It was part of a bulk buy at a garage sale So I probably had a dollar or less in it The next item I sold today.  These are a great bread and butter item So 15 dollars free shipping. I got them at a garage sale I don't remember what I paid. I picked these things up for like I bundle them up and get them really cheap So definitely be on the lookout for those even if they're not the old trolls. They still sell These vintage pogs sold today for 52 dollars with free shipping. There's 270 of them took me forever to lay these out they also come with the two carrying cases and the slammers So yeah, 52 dollars free shipping. I want to say I paid five dollars for these at a garage sale The next item are these zombie shelf sitters, which you guys saw in one of my recent thrift haul videos I listed these on the 12th. So they haven't been listed really too long um I sold them for 17 dollars in free shipping Okay, you guys also saw this in a recent thrift haul. So if you want to see what I paid for it You can go check out that thrift haul video um I sold this for 156 dollars and free shipping And I was actually doing my haul video and I messaged my friend lia's bits and pieces And I was just kind of taking pictures of the shelf because she's really good at identifying stuff And I actually watched walked past it and she's like you need to go back and she had sent me pictures of Oh my I ended up picking this up at a thrift store for go watch the video I got a really good deal on it and I sold it for 156 free shipping. So that was a super cool find Um, this giraffe wood hand carved fork and spoon. It's kind of like a serving spoon The one does have like a little chip here down here I picked these up at an estate garage sale They were calling it an estate sale. I guess it was an estate sale But it was like family run and they had stuff outside in the garage, but they also had stuff inside. So yeah, I called it an estate sale Uh paid two dollars for it and I sold it for 28 with free shipping There was another set that I paid two dollars for that. I ended up having to throw away I didn't even look at them and the whole top of them I think they were drafts too, but like their ears were broken off. So I was really bummed about that So I guess if you want to look at it like I paid for for this, that's fine So 28 dollars free shipping on that and they sold really quick Costume jewelry. Okay, you guys if you're not watching my I bought it on ebay to sell on ebay. I bought 344 pounds of Jewelry on ebay to sell on ebay if you watch I have two videos like when I went to pick it up and then The video where I weigh it if you want to know like what I ended up paying for all of it You can check out that video, but every Monday. I'm doing a video of either unboxing or jewelry testing Um, I have a video coming up where I test diamonds. It's the diamonds are not from this bulk buy, but um Actually, it'll probably have already posted by the time you guys see this video I'm not sure when I'm going to post this video But anyhow I might post it tomorrow I need to think about that. Maybe I'll post it Monday Okay, moving on. Anyway, I sold this for 70 dollars with free shipping So basically what it was is I had two separate listings. I had an eight pound bag of wearable jewelry, which is this bag and then I had a Six pound bag of crafters stuff like everything is broken and You can use it for crafts or repair repurpose that type of thing So eight pounds wearable six pound crafters. I did have to pay I think it was I think I got this in a medium flat rate box So what is that like 12 dollars 12 14? I can't remember So 70 dollars free shipping. So I did pay for the the shipping on this And they left me great feedback. So they must have been happy with the treasures that they found and uh, the next item Was a two pound wearable lot this I shipped in a flat rate box Um, so I had I think it was like seven dollars and 35 cents or something like that ship 23 dollars and free shipping is what I sold this for Again, it's not It's not a ton of jewelry, but uh, they should still be able to do okay and make some money on that if they Sell it individually or maybe they just want it for themselves. I don't know Maybe they saw a piece in there that stood out to them that they liked The next item is this littlest pet shop. I did have this listed a while. Um I started it pretty high and I ended up selling it for 130 dollars with 30 dollars shipping The buyer did pay the shipping on this Mercari takes 10 percent again. I think this probably sold because a parent Is probably buying this for their kid Because their kids are home from school to give them something, you know to stay stay busy So there may be some rares in here. So I could be wrong. It might be a reseller Buying it. I don't I guess I don't know But it it was a pretty big lot So 130 dollars and the buyer paid shipping. I picked this these items up at garage sales And then I lot them together. I did have these individually You can see how they're kind of separated. I had them individually posted Somebody wanted to buy all of them. I made it one listing and then they backed out So I just kept it one listing The next item is this I sold on etsy. It's a ceramica Exlicious, I can never say that it's from 1985.

Folks, the Republican Party is completely out of control, and as far as they've already shifted to the right, like as close to outright violent fascism as they already are, they continue to become even more and more unhinged, more crazy. Because last week, or the week before, I believe, we saw the electoral victory of Marjorie Green in Georgia's 14th congressional district, who made an ad where she advocated for the extrajudicial killing of protesters who she deemed Antifa. She is also a QAnon conspiracy theorist. But guess what? Another crazy Republican just had an electoral victory. Because in the state of Florida, Laura Loomer of all people won a Republican primary. Now the good news is that it doesn't seem like she's going to be successful because this is a heavily Democrat-leaning district, so I think that this is going to be the end of her campaign. Nonetheless, that doesn't necessarily mean that she won't have an influence within the Republican Party because Donald Trump literally retweeted a picture of her with Marjorie Green where they talk about being the future of the Republican Party or allude to it and it's not incorrect. They're not wrong, right? Now Laura Loomer, for those of you who don't know, she rose the prominence after she was banned from either Twitter or Facebook and she then chained herself or handcuffed herself to the headquarters of said company to protest it and then livestreamed and then she went around pretending to be the victim or whatever. This is someone who is explicitly racist. Like she doesn't use dog whistles. Like she is very explicitly anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant. She wears it on her sleeves. And she is also asserting that the RNC chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, actually called her and told her that she is the future of the Republican Party. So what we see is like a new squad emerging, albeit on the right. But thankfully, she won't get to Congress. But I mean, we see like these new rising stars in the Republican Party. And they are insane. It's like the squad on shrooms when you're having a bad trip. Like this is horrifying. Like if this is the future of the Republican Party, the Republican Party doesn't have a future. America doesn't have a future because they have gone so far to the right, so far out of the mainstream and into conspiratorial fascistic territory that that type of party is incapable of governing. Like we saw what a disaster the Tea Party was where they shut down the government. And now the Tea Party is relatively mainstream, not necessarily because they have, you know, become more mainstream themselves, ideologically speaking, but because the Republican Party has shifted to the right to accommodate them and we can only anticipate them to shift to the right again to accommodate people like Laura Loomer, who are insane. So the question is, at what point do they snap back to reality? The question is, is that a possibility, given how far they've shifted to the right because looking back to a politician like Reagan, he seems sane in comparison with these new Republicans, Laura Loomer, Marjorie Green. In fact, you can look to Sarah Palin as a voice of reason, given how far they've fallen. And on this current trajectory that they're on, like within 10 years, we'll be looking back saying, remember when Marjorie Green and Laura Loomer were like the craziest Republicans, they keep changing at a rate that is alarming to all of us, that should be alarming to all of us. And yet we're talking about the radical left. The radical right should be on everyone's minds. The radical right should be a national news story that everyone talks about because of how alarming the shift to the right is for the Republican Party. I mean, Donald Trump is the standard bearer of the Republican Party and he is explicitly racist. He's authoritarian. He's literally openly joking about running for a third term, which is unconstitutional. He's deploying secret police to cities like Portland. And it gets to a point where we're no longer talking about fascism as something that is coming soon to the United States or as a theory. Like this should scare people.  Like they don't actually believe in any policies, but if they are gaining prominence in one of two major political parties that we have in the United States, like it doesn't matter how crazy we think they are. The fact that they're able to see electoral success shows you that the party continues rapidly to shift to the right. And, you know, as much gains as the left has made within the Democratic Party, which is not much admittedly, it's still like we're moving at this pace to the left, but Republicans are moving with that much speed to the right. And it's horrifying. So who's next? Ted Nuget? Is he going to be the next standard bear? Is Roy Moore going to become a U.S. Senator? Like with how badly things have become with this party, with how insane they've become, with how explicitly anti-worker they've become. Like I don't know what's next for them. We have people like Marjorie Green, who will be a member of Congress who makes Louis Gohmert look a little bit more intelligent. That should horrify everyone. Like this should be a media scandal, but we're only talking about the radical left.   I'm sorry, but it's true. You could support the Humanist Report at patreon.com slash humanist report. But trust me, I'd have way more supporters at patreon if that was my podcast said.
