What is up everybody? Welcome back to the channel you guys. I'm just in here in my email sequences Which is aka my email auto responder my drip system, whatever the hell you guys want to call it Inside of cartra. They call it a sequence and that's just the automated emails that go out To whoever opts into a list now This is optional whoever opts into a landing page like any landing page when you go to a landing page And you opt in to download their free offer to watch a training video to watch a webinar Whatever any opt-in page when you go to that opt-in page you felt the form like this one for example If you just go to again any landing page This form that you fill out right here That puts you automatically on a list, right? So you're automatically on a list no matter what software you're using and that's and I'm telling you man You if you've been following me for a while, that's why I keep talking about cartra Because when it comes to building an online business, you need a handful of tools that are absolutely required and All those tools are normally individual independent Separate softwares that you have to pay multiple prices for Multiple monthly services for every single month and so and so inside of cartra. It's all in one So normally you have your monthly fee for your landing pages and then now what I'm about to show you Which is my sequences my list my email list my email sequences Normally, that's a whole another monthly service a whole different software a whole different company that you'll have to pay for every month As well, but again inside of cartra. It's all in one so That's why this software is a game changer man because I'd have to juggle multiple services and multiple monthly payments Which is absolutely crazy, right? So again anyone that goes to a landing page. They opt in they're automatically on a list Okay, so it's optional to tie a sequence to that list So what I always advise and what I always, you know coach on is yes, whatever list that person is opted into There should be a follow-up sequence in place, right? No matter what the heck it is like and it doesn't have to be a ton of emails Now in this example or actually it's not even an example This is a real-life, you know sequence that I'm gonna be showing you guys that I'm working on for a friend of mine but Not every sequence has to be tied to a ton of emails. I always stress the importance of having at least a handful of emails a Handful of emails need to be in this sequence So if I'm opting into your to your to download your PDF or your free, you know Freakin training video or if I'm opting into a webinar a Presentation online presentation or if you're a real estate agent and I'm opting in for information on a listing that you're selling Or I'm opting in because you're promoting an open house that you have coming up this weekend or You're running Facebook ads and getting people to download your free seller guide or your free buyer guide Whatever the heck you're you're promoting man First of all, you need to be taken them to a landing page and then that person again would be on a list and then the sequence No matter what the offer is up front if I'm opting in there should be a handful of emails that follow Okay, and it doesn't to be a lot, but there needs to be a handful and that's the sequence So in this case what I'm working on today For a buddy of mine shout out to Marlin I am working on this sequence. I'm helping them out and simply Adding some emails to the sequence and it's very simple because there's just that he just has a ton of videos That he wants help with as far as Inside of the sequence. So again Some sequences you can have a ton you can have as many as you want you can have freakin 75 emails That follow, you know after a person opts in and and again the power of this is it's all Automated that's the sequence. That's the email auto responder. It's freakin automated. So you want either a handful or dependent on the campaign You can have a ton, you know of emails that go out And it's just totally preference is totally up to you And so in this case, I'm gonna just kind of show you cartridge side of it all As you log in a cartridge, you'll click on my communications and that will actually bring you to this part right here To the list now what I always do is I always open up these other tabs right below So you have my pages my forms my memberships my calendars in fact, I'll open up that what I do is I hover over it I right-click and I open link in a new tab because as I'm in the email sequence So right here my communications here are all the different lists that people opt into And then communications hover over that click on sequences and then now I'm going to go into the into the automated You know sequence and set all those emails up But as I'm in the sequence and as I'm in an email builder Sometimes I'll need a link to a page. Sometimes I'll need a link to my calendar. So that's why I open up these other pages Here's the calendar or these are their tabs. I should say here's my pages So just in case when I'm in the actual sequence when I'm in the actual email builder and I'm writing out the content If I need to grab a page. Okay, cool. I'll come to this tab and I'll grab that that link right here I'll get code or link and I'll get the link to that page and boom I can just tie this link inside of the email if needed right and which is which is what I'm going to be doing So I'll have up a separate tab for all of that for the pages. Okay, so Let me show you what I am doing So again log in click on my communications hover over communications. We're right here in the sequences Okay, so I'm going to scroll down and look for that sequence which is this one right here And this is a sequence where all I'm doing is adding a ton of pages. So I'm going to add multiple emails But they're really all tied to pages and Those are going to be part of the email. So I'll show you how I do this. So here here here here is where it all begins. This is the actual layout. So again, man Lot of you guys are trying to build something online You're paying one monthly fee for your landing pages and then you're paying another monthly fee for your email Auto responder. I'm telling you you're spending way more money than you need to so there's a 14-day trial in the description Profitwithcartra.online Set up a 14-day trial compare it to every other service You're using to try to build something online and see if it doesn't change the way you look at everything And once you activate a 14-day trial, send me a message send me an email comment below Let me know you got it activated and I'll give you all my time for free watching up on a strategy call I'll walk you through all this. I'll help you get off to a fast start. All right, so Set it up and compare it But here's how it all works out man You got everything over here to the left send email send text, which is the SMS. I can add a tag I can unsubscribe this thing is amazing when it comes to the automation man The automation if this person clicks here send them this email if they buy this product don't send them that that email if they If they don't have this tag Remove them from the list and and and subscribe them to a different list There's so many things you can do inside of it as far as the automation, which is absolutely insane man So I won't get into all of that But I'll just show you the basics on how to send this this this email Okay, how to how to set it all up where multiple emails are going out. Okay, so in this case We have 10 and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna add I'm gonna 11 I'm gonna add a few more. Okay, and I'll show you how I do it So but here's where it all starts the starting rule. Okay, so we're gonna come in here and we're gonna tell the system Whoever fills out this form Okay Send them the following sequence. That's what this is. I could do it based on the form I could do it based on a tag. I can do it based on the list It's it's kind of all the same thing the form and the list could be the same thing Or I can even tag that person, right and and and put that here in the starting rule And whoever has this tag Send them the following sequence, right? So in this case, I just go with form lead fills fills form a see a redox opt-in and They they start to you know, receive the actual following emails, which is this one right here one day later They're gonna get email number one.  I'm gonna add 12 13 14 15 I won't bore you to death on all the all the rest, but I'll show you number 12 and show you how I do it So just imagine, you know, these ones, you know, here's here's email number one But I'll start on email number 12. Just imagine that as email number one is the same damn thing So all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna in this case. I'm gonna simply remove this link and I'm gonna give myself some space here. I'm gonna drop this lower one. I'm gonna drag it This bottom complete. I'm gonna drag this a little lower and the reason why I even have a complete here Is so I can track the analytics so I can see Through the analytics through the reporting who completed who finished the sequence, right and who didn't and so who's still in The sequence who may be on email number nine, right? I can look at all that when I'm looking at the at the at the reports And then I can also see who completed it. So that's why this complete is at the bottom And it's gonna be connected to the very last email. So in this case, here's all we're gonna do We're gonna focus on on on the next email. So all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna click and Drag and drop this right here. And and again, this is how Each email looks so whether this is email number one that we're starting at at the top or again in this case email number 12 It's gonna be this. It's the same process. It's the same Flow. So here's what I'm gonna do We're gonna go through delay day and time communication gateway recipients split test content automation So here's what I can do if this was email number one I can I can send right after previous step. What was previous step previous step was the opt-in form? So the moment they opt-in to this form or the moment they have they're tagged or the moment they Get added to this list, which is instantly the moment they opt into the form, right? The moment they go to the landing page and opt-in they're automatically Opting into a form or they're automatically on a list, right that that type of stuff happens instantly I can go right here and go previous right after previous step, which which that would be the step, right?  You can go every day.  That's what this is all about. So In this case, we're gonna go one day and then we're gonna hit next Okay, perfect now this right here I leave By default I just leave it as is Sometimes people will only want to send between, you know, working hours, for example during the day, you know An email goes out But when it when you leave it at at the default setting at any time of day Allow days Monday through Sunday and I'm and for example in this case, I'm going One day one day after previous step, right? So the email number 11 that went out yesterday one day later email number 12 is going out, right? So all that is it's based on That that whole delay the one-day delay is based on when they open that he or it's based on when that email was sent out So if that email was sent out, you know at freaking 11 p.m. On Thursday This next one is gonna go out at 11 p.m. On Friday and all that starts based on On the start and rule so if they opt in at 12 p.m, right? One day later at 12 p.m. That email is gonna go out One day later at 12 p.m. The next one's gonna go out one day later at 12 p.m The 12th email is gonna go out, right? So that's what it's based on when you leave it like this if you don't want it to go out at a crazy hour Then then you can go or between, right? But again, I I it's all based on the initial Engagement if they opt in at a certain time, that's what time they're online, right? And that's when they start to receive it so start start to receive, you know this following sequence But I'll just leave it like that. So again, whatever time they start the the the initial You know opt-in is the date is the time that we're gonna keep everything flowing, okay? So I leave it as is I'll hit next and then the name of broadcast You want to get very specific with this just so when you look at everything on the from from a you know 30,000 score for a view on how I'm looking at it, you know When when we're not here in this setup as I showed you email one through 11, right? When you're looking at it like that, you don't want to just look it in say email 10 Email 13 even though that's how these ones are set up We're gonna go in and and get more specific with that because if you look at email number three It's like shit. How do I even remember what email number three is, right? Like I'd have to click in it go into it look at the content look at the email and and and look at the subject line To see what freaking email that was if I'm just going email number one email number two So I want to I want to be more specific in the future with this in this case I'm gonna just keep keep the flow going and this is gonna be email number What what number was is 12? Email number 12. I'll just keep it like this for the tame up for the you know time of this example, but As you're setting yours up, you're gonna want to be more specific So this is where it's coming from it's coming from that email coming from that name coming from that email or replying if they reply They they'll reply to that email. So that has to be a business email. Okay, you can't put a gmail there or yahoo that has to be your Business email now when we're down into the sequence this far down I would I always say email number two and on right here in this case. We're on freaking email number 12. I Always say from email number two and on I'm only going to send if they're still subscribed Okay, so if they're still subscribed to the list, which is this one then they'll continue to receive these emails Okay, if they unsubscribed on email number three, they're not getting email number four. Okay, and that's what this is the gd put PR that's if you're capturing leads and running ads and Building a list of people in Europe that applies to that but in this case, I'm not this is all us based So we'll just not have to worry about that. This is gonna be a single email Hit next and then here goes the actual content This is the email content. So right here, man, this is powerful. This is super powerful Right here in basic text I could just go subject line text basic text, right?  It's gonna pull the lead's name obviously, right? I use that a lot. I call them by their first name in every email I'll always use their first name and everything. So this is basic text. I can go advanced and I can go design templates and I can look at full templates and I can look at all these different ones That cartridge already has designed and all I got to do is click Drag drop and then I can work out of that one Change the color change the image change the text, you know, change the Button and where that links to the yellow button and where it links to I have a cheat sheet right here So a lot of it is already done if I want to use one of these templates, right? or I can simply Come down and start building my own. There's the headline Text click this text drag it over or any of these other templates of text click it drag it over I can do that on text. I can do that on a content if I want a content box Images buttons videos headers so I can it's like building my own damn page, right? I can do that inside of an email and build out my own email and Whether I'm using an actual template a full template that cartridge already has designed or whether I'm building my own What I always want to do and this is for email number one like when I come in here for the very very very first time I Want to either again get a full template and use one of those and and edit it to my liking or I'm gonna build my own Right click drag click drag and just edit from there But whatever it whatever I may do. I'm talking about the first email What I'm gonna do with that is I'm gonna come down here and I'm gonna save as template That way when I come here in here and create future emails I'll have it in my templates and I can just use that and Drag that over and just go off of that and I can I can I can edit from here And the reason why I do it is because of copyrights the Facebook icon normally there's an Instagram There's a LinkedIn but in this case Marlin only has the Facebook So we only use this one the Facebook one, but I but I mainly use a template So I don't have to sort out to keep doing it over and over and over and at the same time most importantly So all my emails are consistent like you don't want to send it And now I'm very big on the details when it comes to landing pages your sales funnel and your emails It has to be consistent and what do I mean by consistent? I mean the footer I mean the social media icons. I mean the color Like you want to be consistent and it doesn't have to be extravagant It doesn't have to be crazy over the top freaking professional looking type of deal. No, I'm not talking about the aesthetic Actually, I am talking about the aesthetics, but what I'm talking about are the basics the details Paying attention to the detail of the color or or the footer Like don't send me email number one and this bottom line bottom footer isn't here And don't send me multiple emails where Each email is a different color right like stay consistent This is your branding and again, it doesn't have to be over the top It just has to be consistent like this right here is super basic But it's consistent the copyright is going to be consistent the facebook icon is going to be on each email It's we're going to stay consistent and even with this other one This one right here Look, it's consistent. There's that black header. There's that black footer. There's that orange button It's consistent and again, I can click drag it over and if I don't if I'm on email number 19 And I don't want the orange button. Of course, I can delete it. I can delete anything inside of here But but it just saves me time on having to recreate another one to recreate another one I just save it and use that one over and over and over And just try to stay, you know as consistent as possible with with the basic branding of it of it all So in this case, we're just rocking with this basic one But again, it's already here. And so all I'm going to do is I'm going to simply click on edit And I'm going to change out The link for this watch here I'm going to I'm going to simply unlink it and I'm going to link a new page and that's why I have my pages open over here So I'm going to come down to Email number. What are we on 12? So I'm going to come down to number 12 And I'm going to grab this one right here get code or link And this is the link that I want to grab and so I'm going to open this up in a new tab just to double check it And this is the next email the next video we want to send now. Why are we sending them to a page? Okay You might be thinking. Okay.  David. Why don't you just send them to your video on youtube, right? The reason for it man two three three reasons three reasons why we sent them to a page So as I have this page up, let me come back over here and let me just link This watch here Let me paste in that link hit okay There we go. We got that one linked right there. I can always send test email. Um, but what I'm going to do jack Take a look at this new video Okay, so that's that right there, but here's the deal And and all I'm going to do is I'm going to simply so I'm going to leave it like that That's there's my email watch here. There's my freaking basic email. Okay. Now what I'm going to do them a hit next And I'm going to go back to the three reasons why we sent them to a page new automation You don't need that just yet. I'm going to click create And now we have email number 12 ready to go once I click on once I hover over the three dots activate and then connect it So I'm going to connect it there And I'm going to connect it to the complete Okay, now I'm going to go on through 13 14 15 But what I'm going to do for now is I'm going to hit done an exit just so I can completely save it And then what I can always do is I can always come back into it now. I don't exit every time I'm just doing it in this case Click edit and now we're going to come back in And we'll see number 12 at the very bottom and then what I'm going to do And and that's what I'm doing right now, but again, I just thought I'd record a piece of this for you guys I'm going to take it to number 20 So I'm going to go email number 12 and I'm going to continue So all I got to do is click this right here to arrange that that way we can get the the fresh lineup And there goes email email number 12 and what I'll do for 13 is I'm going to Unlink this I'm going to drag this down just like I did Previously give myself a little bit of space and I'm going to drop 13 right there in the middle But here's the page. Okay, so why send them to a page and not The video directly right the youtube video directly for example three reasons Reason number one is so we can track them with our facebook pixel everyone who's landing here We're we're we're activating that pixel. We're letting facebook know. Hey man These are people that are in our custom audience. These are people that are landing on our pages These are people that we want to retarget with future ads. That's reason number one That's why we take them to a page so we can facebook pixel them Number two is so I can keep their attention if I send them to youtube if I click this right here Actually, we'll wherever the you know the email inside of the email If I have them click watch here and it takes them straight to youtube Right because let's say i'm hosting the video on youtube And let's say I take them straight here and before you know it, you know, they're watching a freaking video I take them straight to youtube. They're they're watching this. Here's what it looks like Before you know it They're freaking getting sold From a different ad Before you know it they're over here because we all have add and our attention span is so freaking short All of a sudden because I took them straight to youtube to my youtube video All of a sudden they're over here freaking Scrolling on the right hand side and all of a sudden they're watching a completely different video in freaking Arabic Right like it's like the attention span of an individual is absolutely crazy crazy short So i'm taking them to one page so I can keep their attention Okay, for as long as I possibly can because again the attention span is already short So it's like dang I gotta I gotta do my absolute best to keep their attention here and here only I don't need them clicking on any other video. That's number two their attention. I keep their attention number three Call to action So in that video there's a call to action This is how you guys want to lay out your email sequences. Stop stop sending me boring text emails Put yourself on video and and create a sequence where every freaking email is a video. That's what these are every email Is a video they click it brings them straight to a page where they're watching a video and in that video There's a call to action to either place their order or to join the team Okay That right there is the third reason is to is the call to action That's what we bring them to a page and so that's why the email the text is very short, right? The very the text is very short because I don't need them reading a freaking storybook I need them clicking and watching a damn video because it's the video that's going to sell them You know even more seeing a real person in this case They're seeing a real testimony and they're like dude. They're they're sold, right? So Being on the page right away. They see the the awesomeness of of the team and and what's going on in the in the experience people are Have the experiences people are having and then boom all they gotta do is click the button place click the button place their order and Cha-ching right money is made orders are being are being sold so That right there you guys is how I set up email sequences And again in this case, we're going pretty far man, right 12 emails 13 emails 14. We're going to take this up to freaking 45 But but but again, you don't have to always have that many emails in an email otter responder having just a few is the most important Like like for example, again, if you're in real estate, right? If you're in real estate and you're running an ad for a listing I go to your page like let me give you a real example Let's say you're sending me from a facebook ad I click on learn more and you're taking me straight to this one page Get instant access to the price and photos of this property, right? You're taking straight here I click on the yellow button. I opt in right away. I'm getting email number one Okay, right away right away. I'm getting email number one. Okay. Now. This is one day later But I would set it where it goes out immediately, right Right away. I'm getting email number one Email number two is going out tomorrow. Even number two could be hey don't hey Dave Just wanted to follow up. This is jason. I know yesterday you inquired on 777 possible of our hate I'll tell you what the property is still available. There's a lot of families. They're looking at this house They want to put it under contract as soon as possible We want to put it under under contract, you know, as soon as possible But I'll tell you Not not anyone has done that just yet So let me tell you a little bit more about this property And what I want you to do is click the link below or take you straight to my calendar We can schedule your private showing and I can't wait to talk to you john Have a great day. That could be an email that goes out the following day The next day after that, which would be the third day another email the fourth day another email Now in this case, it's a listing. So the listing is not going to stay open Now depending on your market depending on how badass you are as an agent Depending on how how how how everything kind of you know folds folds out That property can stay on the market for a long time And this property could sell by tonight. We don't ever know it So you don't want to set up 45 emails You don't want to set up more set up more no more than 10 emails when it's when it's more urgent In this like in this kind of case, it's a freaking house. It's not going to be on the market forever So I wouldn't send send a ton of emails in the sequence, but I would for sure set up five If it's an open house same thing five, you know a good five to seven emails So you'll be the good you'll be a good judge of of of your offer every business is a little different And so sometimes you'll want to go crazy and set up a ton of emails in the sequence And sometimes you'll want to create more urgency where There's only a handful of emails and that person better freaking buy they better schedule a call They better freaking do something now, right?  Let me go to Let's hit done and exit Let's say for example, you only set up five emails. Let's say there's only five emails that are automated ready to go out to your List of people who are opting in for whatever you're offering, right? And let's say let's say after five emails It's completed right those people that they're done They've already got all five emails and let's say these people never purchased they didn't schedule an appointment They didn't do what you wanted them to do, right? They're still on that list, right? What you can do and what you will do after that is you can always send a broadcast So a broadcast is a one-off email that email I can set a broadcast to that list in Two weeks from now or on the ninth day, right? There's only five emails that were set to go out automatically But on day nine I automatically had a had a freaking, you know freaking epiphany I had a crazy idea and I wanted to share it with those people right away. So I would send a broadcast That's a one off email I can go broadcast and I can send it to anyone on the list And and that would be a one-time email. So after the sequence is done That's what I'll do, right? All and even even even within the sequence like let's say for example These are people there's a five-day email sequence set up five emails are going to go out every every day for the next Five days and we're on day three And all of a sudden some random idea pops in my brain and I want to share it with everyone I could for sure come in here and hit broadcast and send it to Anyone and everyone on a list no matter where they are in a sequence What no matter if they're on email number nine or email number 45 or email number one inside of a sequence It does not matter broadcast. I can send it to whoever whenever but again, those are one Off emails. That's just a one-time email that you'll broadcast. You'll send right away to whoever On a list, right? So sequences Broadcast those are going to be your best friends and then automations. You could track everything You could track who opened the email who got the email who clicked on the email You could track all that inside of automations And analytics so actually in analytics and in analytics is where you'll track everything But automations is where you set up the automation. So if they If they finish this sequence if they finish this five-day sequence Unsubscribe them from the list and subscribe them to this other list That's an automation An automation would be okay. Anyone on this email list that is receiving these email sequences, right? Whoever buys this specific product Unsubscribe them from that list and subscribe them to the buyers list all that is done in automations That's why I'm telling you man.    Whatever the hell you're trying to do online This is basic software that you're going to need no matter what man And all I can do is encourage you to compare it to what you're trying to use now Okay, it's completely night and day and it will save you a ton of time A son a ton of headache and most importantly a ton of money Don't go broke before you really pop off and and make it big online Try to conserve try to be freaking smart with what you're doing as far as spending These are these are our resources, right? This is our budget. This is our marketing budget Whatever the heck all these tools consist of is marketing dollars that you have to put out every month cartridge just makes it easier to manage it all and to be able to afford it all And so that's why I jumped on cartridge now over two years ago And have been crushing it ever since and now all I do is consult. I coach. I help other people, you know with their cartridge account So they could be successful and everyone wins, right? So Link is in is in the description you guys profit with cartridge dot online set up a 14 day trial Hit me up I'll jump on a strategy call with you give you my time for free and again help you get off to a fast start All right, so over and out I'm going to continue with email number 13 and on and I'll see you guys on the next video over now You


Hey everyone, Nathaniel Roppelgeist here from Nintendo Prime. No, I'm not on camera at the moment. I have to actually wait for a package today. I have a new monitor coming in that maybe I'll show you guys about later, but I got a sign for it and they're not really sure when they'll be here. It's sometime between now and 7 p.m. tonight. So I'm hoping it's here in the morning.  But that being said, I did want to make sure I got this video out because we have some important details to talk about here since Nintendo launched the new expansion pack service in Nintendo Switch online, in particular with N64 games. There might be some stuff with Genesis games as well. We'll probably get into that a bit later. But let's just say that Nintendo maybe should not have launched this expansion pack yet, at least based on the issues currently cropping up a few of them, that to me are simply inexcusable. Now, before I get into these issues, I will remind you we do have a giveaway going on right now for a few copies of Metroid Dread. Just click on the viral sweet link down in the description or the pinned comment. We also have some more giveaways happening later on this holiday season. To enter those, you just need to be subscribed to the channel. That being said, let's get into this interesting N64 game issue on Switch. All right, so first off, we all know that there's been a lot of backlash over the pricing of this. I know there's been some people that dismiss it. They break down the pricing by month. If you go, well, it's $50, you know, divide by 12, it's a few bucks a month. What's the big deal?  Well, you divide that between eight people. That's $10 a year or like less than $3 per month. I understand how people want to break it down and justify the cost. Of course, they're not also taken into account that there are other services out there from other companies that cost the same or sometimes more but happen to offer a lot more value, making Nintendo's price points seem bad. And I think a lot of people understand the pricing is pretty bad. I mean, we've seen the dislikes on all of the Nintendo Switch online expansion pack trailers. It's very clear people are well aware and based on polls I threw up on Twitter and YouTube, it's very apparent that there's a lot of people not happy with the pricing. But for the 1920, 25% of you or so that are going to partake in this are going to purchase the expansion pack. They are noticing problems. So I got this article on screen right now from Nintendo life. And it says Nintendo switches online and 64 games need some work and put leg frame rate issues and more specific problems being reported. So let's get into what some of the problems that are being reported right now. And so the Nintendo switches online brand new expansion packs subscription has finally launched giving members who signed up to the service access to a lineup of classic n64 and Sega Mega Drive or for us in the United States Genesis titles. However, according to some folks, the new service is having some TVing problems at this early stage with the reports of input lag and frame rate issues among the noise. In addition to these more general problems, it seems some games also have more specific issues as reported by our pals over at Eurogamer. Mario Kart 64 is having an issue related to saving ghost data, something that was required players to have an n64 memory pack back in the day and hasn't it seems had a workaround implemented in this emulated version. And here's a screenshot showing the game game select no n64 controller pack detected to save ghost data inserted in 64 controller pack into the controller, which by the way, you can't do this on even the Nintendo Switch online n64 controller that costs 50 bucks. If you do have that, they actually covered up the slot that you would usually put a rumble pack or a memory card into. So even if you have original accessories or memory cards, you can't use them. And it's really weird because this specific issue with n64 in terms of Mario Kart has actually been fixed by a lot of hackers and emulators and and ROM users on PC. So this issue isn't even one that hasn't been worked around already by fans. And here's Nintendo releasing an official version for Switch that literally takes one of the primary features of Mario Kart 64 out of the game by not enabling any way to do it. So oh, yeah, you can play Mario Kart 64 online, but you can't save your ghost data, which is really important for your time trials. Yeah, I this is yikes. Now, if that was the only issue, it is what it is, Nintendo will patch it, right? Maybe. Well, it's not. So Super Mario 64 is also missing a rumble feature that appears in the Japanese expansion pack version of the game. So imagine this, Super Mario 64 in Europe and the United States is missing a fundamental feature that's present in the Japanese version.  Rather than being a specific technical issue, however, the Japanese version of Super Mario 64 is the Shindu one, which was updated with rumble pack support. So if you want that feature, it appears you need to grab the Japanese expansion pack app, which yes, the Nintendo Switch is region free, so anyway, we can get it. But then you're also playing in Japanese. So that's not the greatest thing. There are some benefits, of course, to it, you know, not being the Shindu version. There's some stuff with speedrunning that people are worried about. But for general consumer use, I think obviously missing a rumble feature in the European and United States versions is yuck. Anyways, moving on, sin and punishment, we can confirm after playing it is 100% having some control issues involving how it is mapped to its strafing. In the original N64 released a strafe left and right actions were mapped to the yellow controller buttons. So the arrow buttons and in this emulator version, these are replicated on the switches face buttons. However, the switch version also has you pressing the right trigger to shoot, which then remaps the face buttons at the same time. This leaves the players being unable to shoot and dodge to the right at the same time. Yeah.  Guess what? They don't allow you to button remap. That's right, folks. You're not allowed to map your own buttons on your standard pro controller, third party controllers, or obviously on the joy cons. So the only way you could actually potentially hopefully experience again the right way is to buy the $50 N64 controller. And by the way, this control issue is not exclusive to sin and punishment. Nintendo, what are you doing? These are issues people have already fixed. People can emulate these games technically illegally, sort of unless they dump their own copies. They can do this already on their PC for nothing. It costs them nothing. And these issues have already been fixed by fans. Nintendo, you're charging money for this. If you just gave these away for free, these are little technical issues that, you know, whatever. But you didn't. You're charging a premium. Come on, Nintendo. All right. Next up, further to these specific issues, there are absolutely I'm sorry. Further to these specific issues, there are apparently some frame rate and sound problems of Mario Kart 64. We played the game briefly ourselves and have experienced a soundtrack stopping and starting at random.  So that's just bad emulation. So that's definitely an issue. But we've yet to notice any frame rate problems. So one thing I want to notice, know about any frame rate and or more specific to input like issues is the original N64 actually had what I would say is some pretty significant frame rate issues, frame rate issues of like 10 plus frames between pressing a button and an action on screen with a wired controller, by the way, like if that was Wavebird, okay, but with a wired controller, that always felt like way too much input. Like, however, when you were a kid, you probably didn't care. And reality is that this input like still exists with a lot of emulators today. But that is how the original games were experienced and played. So I don't know that input lag and stuff like that is really that big of a deal unless it's somehow significantly worse, which I think GameXplain did a video on and showed that at least from what they could tell, which by the way, we'll have to wait for Digital Foundry because GameXplain's methodology could have a lot of user error involved versus some more technical applications like Digital Foundry will do. But at least from what they discovered, it didn't appear to be that big a deal. Frame rate issues are also being reported in relation to Star Fox 64 and Yoshi's story. And Super Mario 64 and the Legend of Zelda Arcary Towers are suffering from controller lag. Again, that is input lag. I don't know that that's actually that bad. But frame rate issues, Star Fox 64 and Yoshi's story, that sucks. Now the N64 had frame rate issues with some games in general. Those games, though, did not have frame rate issues on the original hardware. Yikes. There's also some very obvious issues with reduced fog levels in some N64 games on Switch. Not so much a problem that's going to stop you from enjoying the games. This is more of an aesthetic issue. And as you can see from our images below, with Wii U on the left and Switch on the right, the lack of fog is making for some rather fugly vistas in places. Wii U emulation had its own issues in this regard. So neither seems optimal. So essentially, the Wii U version was slightly better, but also not. Like, Nintendo, here's my problem, I guess, with an issue like this. And really, most of the issues. Nintendo, these are your games. You are charging people money to play them. Same thing on old Virtual Console. If you can't be asked, literally asked to get the emulation right of your own games, how can you keep asking people to spend money on it? It's baffling to me. They're your games. There's no excuse you can give to not emulate them properly. Anyways, we've also seen a few tweets regarding online performance. These tweets have been shot down by other players. We'll leave you with a few tweets flagging up various issues as being reported by folks online. And as ever, make sure to let us know in the comments of any problems you've been encountering with the new Land of Hope games as you get stuck into them in the coming days. So blessing. I believe he works for kind of funny games. That could be wrong. I'm pretty sure he works there. It's calm, the button mapping for the N64 on Switch is so terrible that I'm still in disbelief. There's no option to remap pro.  Star Fox 64 is good, but I mean, look at this, look at this button mapping. Look at this. Oh, so you have the left, you have the left and the right for some reason here and here, and you have A and B here and here. Oh, and then if you hold ZR, then like the buttons on the left become the triangle button. What is Nintendo doing? This is horrible. Let us button map.  Yes, the current controllers are not set up the right way for N64. But if you let us button map, we can at least set our own preferences for this. It's so ridiculous. Man, Ocarina of Time, N64 versus VVC versus Switch. Let's see here. We got, let me open this up quick. We got, I guess this is N64. And then this one would be Wii. This one would be Switch. Oh, what do they do to Switch? What, what's happening? Did they change out the entire water texture? Look at this. What is that? This doesn't even look like, this doesn't even look like water anymore. Maybe from like the Super Nintendo days. I mean, look at this. This was, this was Weaver. So Nintendo, you've done this better. What, even the N64 blurry water looks better. Nintendo. I mean, you can't even see the, what are you doing? You're ruining one of my favorite games. Ridiculous. Oh man. And then here's Nintendo advertising the expansion pack, of course, and then someone responding showing the N64 controller pack issue. So this person here, Gwynne Bleed down in the comments and ordered some things. I'm copying and pasting a comment I've written a few minutes ago under another article that seems more entopic here.  Input lag, especially visible in Super Mario 64, frame rate issues found in Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Yoshi's story, who is complaining about lag on the Sega Mega Drive collection. Audio reproduction lag, texture issues, weird key settings, missing detection of the controller pack. For some of the screenshots I see, you get a total lack of fog effects and awkwardness of time, missing objects, random crashes, and you pay for this. So needless to say, Nintendo, you dropped the ball. You dropped the proverbial ball with this. You already, already were getting negative reactions to the price point and the strategy behind this. And then you come out with what's essentially a broken product. Now, forgive me for maybe not giving Nintendo more benefit of the doubt that some of you guys might be willing to do, or maybe some of these issues just don't bother you so you don't care. But I will say this, this is a company that highly polishes most of their releases, right? When you get a Nintendo game, there's often not going to be a lot of game breaking bugs, usually not going to be major FPS issues. I know we have some exceptions to this. As an example, obviously, the Internet Chronicles 2, which by the DLC and the Defender edition clearly needed a bit more time for optimization and polish. Breath of the Wild, which was amazing but had some frame rate issues on Switch during the porting process, probably could have used maybe a bit more time to sort out those issues, I don't know. But behind all that, Mario Odyssey, no problem. The Tune 2, no problem. Astral Chain, no problem. Like, in general, Nintendo's games don't have these kind of issues. They have such a high level of polish that the frame rate is usually pretty consistent.  Unless obviously you just don't enjoy the games or enjoy the art style and all that jazz. Here's the thing. These games came out in the 90s. The 90s. And Nintendo can't get them right, but they want to charge you money. Look, I understand you get to play these N64 games online, and that's a cool feature, but you know what's more important than playing the games online? Being able to play them as they were intended to be played in the first place. Without that, without button mapping, so we could try to at least modify our controllers to be in a more comfortable use case. I'm just, I'm at a loss. Now, we haven't heard any complaints too much about the Sega Genesis stuff at this point. Maybe there's going to be some issues with that stuff. I don't know. Sega Genesis stuff has been re-emulated and repacked so many times. I kind of feel like at this point, they've sort of, quote unquote, nailed the emulation on that front. And Nintendo probably didn't have to do a lot of work for that, because again, you know, they're Genesis games. But N64, that's a problem. This is a problem, folks. This article, this article shouldn't need to exist. This is beyond the fact. And I can't confirm this. So if someone wants to take apart their controller and find out, I would appreciate it. I have been told by multiple people that they feel like the control stick on the $50 N64 controller that you can buy from Nintendo right now is the exact same control stick from when they were a kid. There's nothing wrong with this other than the fact that those control sticks were poorly designed and would often break. Not, I mean, if you talk about Joy-Con drift, I'm talking about the control stick not even being able to be in the center while it's sitting there flat on a table physically, because the control stick broke. This was a very common issue with N64 controllers, and I hope there won't be an issue with these ones. And again, I don't have one in front of me to take apart and confirm if these are the more modern, you know, the modern sticks that everybody uses today, or if these are indeed the original N64 sticks, which by the way, they're only like $11 to buy a replacement part for, but still, still, it's just, if that's true, it just kind of goes into the overall effort Nintendo really put into this N64 stuff. It appears, I don't want to say that it's lazy. I don't want to say that they didn't put money and time and invest manpower into this. They just didn't do enough. And they're charging you a lot of money. This is not ready. This is just not ready. This expansion pack should have been delayed till next year. It's not ready. They sure just gave us the Game Boy games or something else that was easier to emulate than worry about trying to, oh, it's holidays. Oh, we got OLED coming out. We better boost N64 online subs right now, or just wait. You guys were doing three coming next year. You could have waited. You would have been fine. You had games to push online subs next year. You could have waited because as is, I am beyond thrilled at the moment that when I went to buy the service, because I mentioned I was going to buy it specifically because I'm a Nintendo YouTuber. I am thrilled that when I went to do it, I realized, you know what, the little bit of money is still in the bank at the moment. Yeah, I'm going to hold on to that and maybe get this later. Well, now I'm pretty confident I'm just going to buy the happy, happy home paradise DLC for 25 bucks and just skip this expansion pack all together. I don't think there's anything I personally need to do for my channel that's going to justify any of this. There's just, I can't justify it. Even me wanting to play in 64 games online, like, okay, but the games themselves aren't working correctly. And it's not just like a single game. It's almost the entire lineup is having issues. Yikes. All right, folks, I'm Nathan Robojans from Nintendo Prime. And again, I don't want to hear it, that I don't criticize Nintendo. I'm always critical of them when they deserve it. This is one of those moments. Come on, Nintendo, do better. Catch you guys in the next video.


update. Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industrial Trade Dow now $3.44 and Aztec off $1.99, S&P's down $56. Gold. Gold contract up $39.60 at $18.74 an ounce. Yet Silver up $0.42, $20.59 an ounce. Light Sweet Crew up $0.75, $76.46, a barrel, notes and bonds. A 10-year note, up a full point plus 22 ticks at $1.1303, the 30-year up three points, which is amazing, at and 20 ticks at $129.15 and $king dollar. $king dollar down $690 ticks trading at a price point of $104.619, the Euro out here at $106, the yen at $134 and the British pound at $120 to $1.00. We get open and take a look at the S&P.  We had broken the B point, broke it with volume. Now you get a high volume low, that's a monster. So I suspect what we have here, you know, you could build little cars next week, go sideways, go below that thing away and then the larger ABC is in game now. The larger ABC, we take a look at this folks, where the larger ABC, I got to bring this back further one second, there we go. So you take a look at this, the larger ABC is, you know, spy wise, you're at 386 right now, man, it's getting closer, you know, you're running somewhere about 313. It's not that far away actually, you know what I mean, when you actually look at it. And then what we also did today is that you broke a B point of a smaller 3Qs and that were 288, now that price projection is 278. So, you know, you broke that B point, the B point at 53 million shares did 94. So I suspect that's where that baby is going to be going.  So there'll be some type of positive news on Monday, so that, you know, these other banks can hopefully have a shot of staying in business, you know. That's tough, that's tough. Have a great one, have a safe one folks and that's all folks. I love you, Jay. Have a great one, man, have a safe one. Bye-bye.


What have I gotten done this morning besides chores? I don't know what I'm talking about. Happy Sunday morning everybody. It is 9.42 a.m. Sunday, March 21st. If you watched last week's vlog, you know I didn't close last week's vlog until this morning very early before 8 a.m. because I forgot last night. Those of you who have senior parents know how stressful things can be at times and so yeah, Bob and I are of an age that all of our parents are in the senior category and have been for a while and one side of the family is doing okay health-wise and the other side's just not so much so it's just stressful. I'm continuing to do my self-care practices of art and just turning things off and reading a book or going for a walk or what I need to do to take care of myself, making sure I'm eating right, documenting what I'm eating and drinking, my blood pressure, my glucose. No, I'm not diabetic but I keep an eye on it because my mother is. And all of those things, I use the Lose It app to write it all down, FYI, and I have a Fitbit, I wear a Fitbit in my tucked in my shirt so I have tracks of all of that stuff so I'm making sure to take control of what I can and let go of the stress from that of which I have no control. Way easier said than done some days but I'm working on it so if you feel like at times in your life you're in a similar position I'm with you and there's you know a lot of us who have at times been there at one point or the other in life so you're not alone. Anyway, hi guys, it's just about 3.30, 3.28 still Sunday and we went for a long walk. We needed just a few groceries to make it through till like this time next weekend so we went and walked over to the grocery outlet which is near our house and it's about I don't know a mile and a half away and got a few groceries and then came back and this morning and then I went upstairs after lunch and I made a few journals out of the painted canvas.  I'll link the video in the description below. I had some artist canvas scraps and so and pads and so I painted them up and did some stenciling and pen work on them and then when they were dry I made some of them into some little journals and I will list I'll put a picture here of the journals they turned out so cute of course I kept two for myself and I listed the rest on the Etsy shop and I am out of mixed media paper and I think that might be the best paper for these journals so I'm going to get some more and as soon as I have some more I'll make more journals but there's four of them listed in the Etsy shop right now so I got that done that was a lot of fun and I forgot how to take the exacto blade out of my box cutter that I used to trim the journals with I figured it out finally but it only took me 10 minutes I know right good morning everybody at least I think it's morning oh yeah it's technically still morning 11 33 a.m monday march 22nd don't get excited I'm looking at the computer because I'm editing the vlog so I've been simultaneously editing video is my second one today having conversations with family updating people on the status of my mom and her health and what's going on with her she's being evaluated I don't know yet just in case you all are going to ask prayers are of course always welcome but we don't know I don't think it's going to be good but you know morning people it is just about 10 o'clock or just after 10 o'clock on what day is it Tuesday the 23rd I think only one duck there's a few others that keep flying overhead but I don't think yeah they're thinking about it yeah we people scared them away yeah I don't know if those are there's so many bees but they look like ducks Indian people happy Wednesday morning it's 10 55 a.m and of course I've been up for a while wow darkness I'm going to ID listed a few purge boxes a Nancy's shop they weren't moving they contained old artwork of mine which y'all don't evidently want so I'm going to unpackage everything I'm going to throw out smart work I might redo some artwork and then relist it and sorry I'm reading a text message from my sister and there's a lot going on still with my mom she's still in the hospital which is a good thing she's undergoing some testing getting treatment that she needs and I think we're getting senior services involved because she my dad need help and none of us kids are close enough to provide that help distance wise so yeah they have to do something and the their doctors finally on board with getting them some help so anyway so all the things for the things because of the things welcome to my world the old artwork boxes and envelopes purged I have a few things that were either good in their own right I'm going to sign them and then I'm going to list them individually for sale in the Etsy shop and a few new things that were already on my desk to do that with so I'm going to do all those sometime next week I did refill two smaller purge boxes because there were a lot of mark making tools and jump a couple of some juncture halls and stuff like that in the two big purge boxes so I pulled that stuff out and I refilled two smaller purge boxes medium ones link is down in the video description and they're full of mark making tools purge boxes some water brushes just all kinds of things there's a few stitching kits in there there's there's all kinds of stuff so that's done and I created a journal page so I'll put a copy here I had the little skeleton tree skeleton leaf Christmas tree shapes in a bunch of stuff that I found and so I created this page with it and then I also covered an old piece of artwork that wasn't the best thing on the planet that was in one of those envelopes with a layer of semi-transparent gesso which I mixed by mixing white just one quarter well about one-third white gesso to two-thirds clear gesso and then I braided over the top of the artwork which was done originally in charcoal and very smeary and messy now the piece is going to dry and the white because there's a little bit of white in it it did lighten up the black a little bit and on it because it's gesso a sealed everything in so now I'm going to go over it when it dries in a day or two and go over it with pen and marker maybe a little paint we're going to make it something hopefully interesting and then then the finished piece will go back up for sale on the Etsy shop by itself and I picked out a few other pieces that didn't work bad enough for the trash can that we are going to do something similar with so anyway if you'd like to see a video on that let me know all right I think that's it for a minute hey guys we're in the car again it is Thursday March 25th 12 26 p.m I think I'm gonna be a little late I have to pick up somebody at the airport but they have a checked bag so it might be okay my sister is coming in to town from Utah I said already why my niece is about to have another baby she's helping them the parents out with their firstborn son also while some things are being treated other things cannot be treated there's not much they can do so I don't want to go into too many details but yeah hey guys it is a bright beautiful sunny day today here in Oregon thank goodness um things with my parents are stable for the minute they have home health services coming by on Monday and we to find out about future therapies and tools are going to need at home going forward and as kids are going up Saturday tomorrow to uh before that to have dinner with them may talk about things um yes it's not exactly COVID appropriate but um about half of us have had our vaccines not myself but um everybody's just been keeping to their own bubble and I'm pretty confident it'll be fine so and my parents are sick I mean you know at some point the COVID precautions are all well and good but I mean you know gotta do what you gotta do so anyway and it seems sort of super cheery and not too upset about the situation with my mom and my parents um it's just because I'm trying not to show to how worried and upset I am the situation's pretty serious and we just kind of have no idea what we're going to do and going forward um it's not really up to me and what I want it's what I want what my parents want and um I can't really do anything until they figure that out they're currently have sound mind maybe not sound health but sound mind so at least my dad so I can't really do anything until he figures out what he wants to do which is why home health care is coming by on Monday and um all I can do is be sitting and waiting as my siblings to help when they figure that out we're worried it's it's not great so all right I'm gonna go in I'll be okay guys you all are so funny I posted a picture last night of my tissue box holder that I made in my car because I don't know about the rest of you but if you have allergies you have a box of tissues in the car and how many of you are tired of said box of tissues floating around somewhere in the front seat under your feet or it's away in the back when you need it or it's just floating around the car free for warm and it's never where you need it and it's never handy I get tired of it rattling around in the car I get tired of not being able to reach for it easily and safely so I made a little bag that I hung off the glove box in my car and out of scrap fabric and I'm going to show you all what I did because I'm getting so many comments about it so hold on one second okay I've got to like careful not to move my legs because I've got the phone propped up against a little stuffed animal that was in my car so this is the tissue box holder it just hangs here off the glove compartment thing on my car there we go and the it's literally just a bag take the tissues out of it it's just a bag that fits the box of tissues so what I did is I took my box of tissues I just we have the square ones and I measured around the tissues and added an inch then I measured from here down through halfway through the bottom and added an inch to make the basic bag so then I had just a long strip of fabric and I sewed it up on the short end then I hemmed the top I sewed up the bottom and then I put the box back in and it had oops sorry it had you know then it looked flat like this right with the pointy corners so then I put the box in and I pinned off the pointy corners and then I sewed them across like this so it would be flat on the bottom so it would nicely fit the box of tissues um how I'm holding it in I'm getting a lot of questions about that so before I was finished with it I added a flap of fabric that's a little pocket I kept it open on one end I have a piece of doweling in there actually to be honest it's a wood clothes pin an old one of those old fashioned round wood clothes pins I shoved it in there I sealed up the other side and then and it actually moves around in there you can see it moving around in there right you push it all the way to the top to the fold you oops put it over the flap of your glove box and the dowel is going to hold the fabric in without interfering with the locking mechanism on your glove box and then you can put the tissues in like that and you can slide it around a little bit at least on mine but it should work about the same on any glove box and then your tissue box is corralled now I wouldn't use this kind of pocket for anything that weighs a significant amount this tissue box is very lightweight you could use it also for a trash can but it's a little just a little pocket with a flap on the back with something to jam the pocket in between the glove box door and the dashboard when it's closed all the way that's basically all I did again I wouldn't put like your drink or anything in here because I think that would be too heavy maybe for the lock on the glove box door but you definitely could put trash in here you know nothing too heavy and definitely your box of tissues it works great and it's out of my way my when I'm sitting here my legs I have short legs so it doesn't interfere with what how I'm sitting I suppose if you're really tall and your knees like come up to here that might be a problem for me it's not an issue and my seats do go back so you can always push the seat back a little more anyway that's the tissue box bag corral item so if you all I guess want a different like tutorial we can do that it's a weird thing for me to give you a tutorial on but I mean it is practical all right I'm going to go back inside I'll be back hey guys it is Saturday morning March 27th I think we are getting some chores done around our house and my sister's packing up her stuff and doing a little bit of work this morning before we leave to head up north a couple hours to my parents house and meet with them a little bit of family that's up there zoom with the rest of the family for safety reasons because hello COVID and try to help my parents with what needs help because of my mom's health and medical conditions sorry male um she is pretty sick they are my parents are in their 80s and it's not cancer or anything but it is pretty serious oh my sister's going to be so happy her doTERRA is here um and we need to help them make arrangements living arrangements going forward to make things as comfortable as possible for my mom and my dad so we are going to go do that and I don't want to say too much more because I don't want to violate my parents privacy but it's pretty bad hey guys we are back from my parents house I think it's 10 30ish something like that anyway we are making a cup of tea going to have some snacks I'm checking to make sure I turned my computer off before I left because I don't know things with my parents as I said are a bit stressful my mom is sick and she's probably not going

Before I even get to my next question, I would like to think that news that has been coming out or views that have been coming out from a few people is that at the end of the day, you are too expectant of the UPND in a short period, in a short space of time, as opposed to how the economy has been destabilized in the last 10 years or so. Are you giving them ample time to do their work and deliver diligently?  So we are dealing here with a government that set out its own benchmarks and we are rating it against those benchmarks and nothing else, okay, and I can take time, Grace, you know, if you want to give the nation the benchmarks from UPND, for example, the issue of the dollar, okay, this is now sounding like a monotonous sum, you know, in a disco house, but the dollar issue, UPND found the dollar at 15 kwacha to a dollar, okay, and it went on up to 18 kwacha, it's now at 17 kwacha, against the benchmark by HH in the opposition, that the kwacha who appreciate within hours, so what's this debate now that he give him 8 months, you know, he had given himself hours, but even in 8 months, the dollar has not appreciated, you know, to the levels of 10 kwacha to a dollar, he had actually fixed a figure, so nobody is putting this down, pushing this down his throat, he had pushed, and what did he say, he proudly and bragged, you know, that I have global connections, the fellows that he does can tamper business with, you know, globally, I have global connections, don't doubt my global connections, he will see what I will be able to do, he goes to the invest of Zambia, and he addresses invest of Zambia students, and he says, why are you worried, you know, under my government, all of you have buzzeries, and this 8 months down the road now, is those poor boys and girls, have no buzzeries, 8 months later, okay, he said, I'm going to make sure that fuel is cheap, he found the fuel at 17 kwacha, it went on to 26 kwacha, now it brought it back to 25 kwacha, and he says, that's an achievement. Now, he himself is failing in these benchmarks, he told the Zambian people that many male will be affordable, many male is still unaffordable by the majority grace of our people, here and beyond, he said to the small scale farmers that have been struggling with the producing maize, and whatever, he said, forget about the fertilizer, you know, which is now hitting 1,000 kwacha per 50 kg bag, I'm going to give the fertilizer to you, at the 250 kwacha, he has not delivered on that promise, you know, now he turns the story around, and says, well, I'm sure you covered his press conference, you know, on the 25th of April, what did he say, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know the extent of the damage, you know, to the treasure, he's lying, because... Okay, Mr. Kamimba, let me bring these aspects in, you're blaming, you're saying he hasn't... I'm not blaming, I'm just saying what he said. What he said, in starting with his benchmark. Yes. Now, the UP&D has attributed the current economic situation really to what transpired and what happened to the rules, to the PF, to the patriotic front government then, to the patriotic front regime, where you were previously as well, and you were a member, and you were right up there with the patriotic front, how do you gauge what has been happening against, against the benchmark you were talking about, and the magnitude of the work that the UP&D now has to put in to correct the situation that was created by the former regime. Look, HH made several statements and said in convincing the Zambian people, this economy has been mismanaged by PF. Okay? So why is it coming to him with a sense of shock now? He himself seemed to understand the damage caused by PF to this economy, and it is for that reason that the Zambian people, Grace, decided to vote for him. Here is a man who understands the damage caused to this economy by PF, and he has got solutions to undo this damage. So to run with that narrative now that he didn't understand, it's just not correct. The central bank governor today is the same central bank governor that was there under PF. So if the treasury were empty, he should have told him, and I'm sure he knew. So yes, you can decide to be charitable about the man's excuses now, but the truth of the matter is that this is a man who understood the situation. He knew that he had no capacity, but he decided to lie to the Zambian people, and he continues to lie to debt. And if you want in this program, I'll get on to his recent lies.  Kaunda used to say, they lie in the morning, they lie over lunch hour, and they lie in the evening. That has become the UPND trademark.


Folks, this is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We go five days a week. We go seven hours a day.  Great day, safe day. Make it a great week, folks, in a great month. June 6th, here we go. Surrender and let go of the past. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you'll always have to be fully alive in the moment. Let it go with the past means that you can enjoy the dream that is happening right here, right now. That's an amazing card, folks. Mockin' wise, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industries down 158, Nasdaq off 25, S&P's off 9. Gold, gold contract up $8.10, trade in its $19.77 an ounce. We have silver down $0.09 at $23.65, light sweet crude up $0.26, $72 flat, notes and bonds, a 10-year note, down up two ticks rather, $1.1329, the 30-year flat at $127.30, and $king dollar. King dollar flat also at $104.015, Euro 107, yen $139, the British pound, $124 to one U.S. dollar. Our phone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call, folks. I know it's going on in your world. The world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. Well, let's go to the E-minis first. So we take a look at the E-minis here. It's been a sideways day, folks. The amount of energy that got taken out of the marketplace on Friday, that was a huge day. We're gonna have Tim Water on it Monday. I mean, the first break, we'll see what Dad has said about that, but I suspect that's gonna be another sign of strength. The intraday out here in the E-mini, you came down about 10 points.  What's holding us up now is right across, if you want to see how this works, this is what's crazy. You're gonna see just a little bit lower at 47.69, you can get to that 47.69 for sure. That's where one of the, at nine, at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, that is where we excelled up. Now, this is what's wild, folks, okay? You know, and on Friday, I was saying this actually, I felt the mic was gonna keep running because the bottom line is that you get a shot week, bottom line, you're window dressing all of the above, and then it just kept going with no volume whatsoever. So this is the first time, this is the test of that area. That's what's going on here. That's what's coming down, it's coming down for that test. So bottom line looks like it's gonna be a successful test. We go to the end cues, and then we go to the spy. So if we go to the spy, you're gonna have shot volume out here today, no doubt about that.  The spy's down a point and a half right now. You know, but it's gonna, you know, bottom line is that the next swing point is 431. I suspect it's gonna go after that 431. We take a look at the three cues, same type of setup in the three cues. The differential in the cues is that the contraction of volume is pretty dramatic. You know, we're at 38 million right now.  So you went from 72 to 53. Now today we'll probably do about 48. And, you know, you're not holding price. And when you start seeing those smaller price spreads, that's saying that, you know, we can very well get a pullback. We go into the gold contract. What do we have with gold contract? Gold contract, you know, came down to the area of 17, and 17, 1953 today. It did reject lower price there. Right now you're at 1977. It has lighter volume. So there's a little consolidation in here. Now we gotta remember something that the gold contract isn't a confirmed ABC structure on the way down. This would throw it into a complex ABC structure. So we'll see how that worked. You know, we had broken the B point with volume. We got above it again. We came back down again. Friday was the down day with volume in a monster way inside the gold market. So I suspect, you know, we'll see how that shakes out. And we get the king dollar. Oh, no, no, notes and bonds. Notes and bonds might take folks, okay? This is kind of a conviction also is that higher price lower yields are coming at us. You know, what you had out here today, we did 1.2 million contracts in the 10. You got to 113.10. You're at 113.29 right now.  See what I want to go and put this on a monthly. Let's do it this way. Let's do it in a weekly for three years first. Okay, you can see in a weekly with three years what you have is this. You actually have, at this point, we have one, two, three higher highs and three lower lows. My take is that rates have picked up. And what has also happened here is this, is that this is going to be really wild if that's the case. You know why folks? Because the market picked up on this last October. The 4%, 4.2% in the 10 was last October. So that's pretty intense.  This is a trend and that trend is saying that hey, guess what, we're going up. And then what it also does is that we actually did break the trend and we did that all the way back in November. And so the next stop up here, or where it's going is 122. And if we take, if we go when we take a look at the 10 year right now, the 10 years at 3.6, you take a look at this for the last three months, you can see this 3.9 is the high. But then we take it for six months, you're going to see the 4.0. And I believe that's, no, 4.2 over six months ago. That's what's going on there. 4.2 was the high two. Look at that. There was a 2% from the high to low, last 12 months is 2% folks. That's amazing. So six months, we're talking 3.3 to four. Pretty wild then. And rates make a difference. Rates make a monster difference period. Stay right there folks, you're coming right back. We have the Dow. Dow industry is right now trading down 135. Now it's XF 17. That's the piece of five and a half. We'll come right back.

Hello there, I'm Sandy Olnok and I want to welcome you to part two of a two-part series. Who knows, it might be more. And this is Galaxy Watercolor that I did in my previous video. And this is the one that I am creating today. Yes, it was two bears that were in the hot air balloon. The two bears in the hot air balloon in the previous video have now landed. They are part of a stamp set here by Colorado Craft Company. And when I received this, I thought I've got to make it part of a pair of videos. That would be so funny. So I've stamped it using the MISTI and some sticky notes, but I stamped it at an angle. So they'd be pointing and looking at the right place and then used a compass to draw a planet that they're on and a planet that they're looking at because I figure if they were flying through the galaxy, they were looking for a new planet. They were looking for a new home because somebody needs to get all of us off this ghetto planet that is falling apart. So that's what our bears are doing. They're out hunting for a new home for all of us. And they're going to be on whatever planet they've landed on in the galaxy that they've located. And they're looking at something that's going to look a little recognizable to you. I'm painting an irregular galaxy this time. In the previous one, I did the spiral galaxy. And this is more of what you'll see in the Galactic Watercolor class. If you've heard about that in the previous video, and I will link you to it in the doobly-do, as well as show you pictures of what's in that class, what kind of pictures you'll learn. And I'm just adding a whole bunch of color, spraying some water, letting it move, trying to retain some white in the middle and getting darker areas on the outside because it's the dark and light contrast that's going to make the drama in the picture. So very thick pigment dropped into wetter pigment tends to get really nice soft feathery edges. And you can add second layers and third layers as needed. It's always better, though, to try to get more pigment on the paper the first time around than to try to figure out how to do it later and to add more pigment because that just ends up with lots of challenges. But in the class, I do a lot of layering so you'll get to see how you can do that because I know that's what a lot of people will end up doing because that's what I did when I first started painting galaxies a couple of weeks ago in preparation for launching this new galactic watercolor class. So since the bears are going to kind of disappear into a shadow, I did that on purpose so I didn't have to worry about all the grasses that were in the stamps since I was masking those off because I was turning them to point to the planet they're looking at. And then I used thinner watercolor with more water in it toward the top and thicker watercolor toward the bottom. And it'll take me a couple of rounds to fuss with it and fill in all the areas and then get it to be really black. But you can go back and forth with watercolor when you keep it wet. That's one of the things that we tend to work really slow and we just hope that it's going to turn out and then all the edges dry and then we're like, no, what do I do? If you can keep it wet, it depends on whether or not you use enough water with your pigment in the first place. It depends on the speed you work at. And of course, if you're working in an area where your paint dries really fast, that'll make a difference. But also a lot of it is just learning how to keep the edges wet. If you're working on something and you want it to be able to be moved, you want to be able to adjust it, then spritz it with some water. And just a real light coverage is enough to sometimes keep it movable so that you're able to continue creating without having to stop everything but you need to keep an eyeball open at all times. And that's kind of what I was doing here. I ended up putting an extra layer because I wanted it to be really, really rich, really, really dark because they're going to be in the foreground in contrast to the big planet off in the distance that they're looking at. And that required putting a lot of contrast in that foreground image so it would really stand out against all those dark colors that are in the sky behind them. So there needs to be enough contrast between them. So then comes the planet. They're looking for something earth-like. So I decided to just use some sploogeys of color that are earthy colors. So threw on some blues and some greens and just let them swirl around on the paper.  I don't know what the continents look like on this new planet. So I'm going to have some dry areas, some green areas, some water areas, and then leave that edge at the bottom section that's facing toward the light source, which is that galaxy in the background.   If you want to add more layers onto it, which I decided I wanted to add a little bit more. I got some some cauliflower bleeds there and decided to just add more pigment and mask that to hide it from myself. So I didn't see those places where I ended up with a bleed, add some more colors to it, dry it again. And then I could add the stars in the background. So I've got some titanium white watercolor grounds from Daniel Smith on a toothbrush. And the amount that flicks off of the toothbrush depends on how wet the pigment is. So sometimes you'll want to mix up a special batch to make it easier to splatter the paint because sometimes it just won't come off the brush and you want to have plenty of stars out there. So there's my finished cool painting. Their arrival in the new galaxy they've found us a new home isn't that awesome. I cannot quite explain to you how they survived the hot air balloon trip through the galaxy, but you know that's why I called it fantasy art today, so there you go. I did a couple other versions with this stamp set. This is brown bears sitting on grasses looking up at a crazy planetary scene. And then the rabbits.  Isn't that gorgeous? Tomorrow over on my Instagram, I'm going to be using this stamp set to create a whole bunch of cute galactic cards. So you're going to want to join me over there, link in the doobly-doo and information on that one. And for today and tomorrow only, there's a special deal for you, my followers at Colorado Craft Company. And the information on that is in the doobly-doo and I will delete it once that is over so you don't get confused. But if you're interested in getting a special deal on stamps, check that out. The intermediate mini-class galactic watercolor. I'll show you a quick preview of the kind of paintings that you'll create in that if you choose to take that class. As I said, it's a level three. So level three is going to require that you know a little bit at least about mixing paints and that sort of thing. But there's five paintings in it and they're a lot of fun. Just as much fun as today was with these crazy galaxies, but they'll be taught in real time. This was sped up today, but you'll get real time videos in the class and I will see you guys later. Take care. Bye.
