not be suitable for children under 13 years of age. Viewer discretion is advised. Hey, what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again with my special guest, the one, the only, it's Kato. We're in a mortal town, you're awesome. I've got to get another, I may not have one in time for TFCon, but I've got to get another branded shirt. The last time I ordered from Teespring, you see where your TFCon Baltimore is? Yeah.   Yeah, I played around. I don't like exactly where it's at, but it's too late to order another one now. I mean, it'll work. No, it works. I don't know if you can see, but I got the Toyhacks logo on the back of my hooah there. Oh, nice. But I forgot to put the big Patriot Piranha salute face on the back. Oh, man.  The very first shirt I ordered from them, I tried to do something slick and put a QR code on the back of the T-shirt. And, because I figured, you know, if I'm at a con and somebody's behind me, they might get curious.  By the first time you watched it, it's nothing. Nice. There was one, they sent me one. It was a lighter, oh, there's elites with a super chat already. Already on it. Already. I always count on elites. Thank you. We are so ready for TF Con, brother. Let's see. What shall we give elite starting things off? Let's do. Hello, everyone. Let's give them a sound wave. Hi, Ravage, it's you. Man, that's one of the funniest ones. I love Bert, but that's one of the funniest ones because I went down the rabbit hole on YouTube of watching all those damn robot videos. And there's a lot of them where they double them over where they're pushing them or they're acting. And they're beating on them. Larius. Have you seen the one where they tweak it, where the people are just beating on the robot and the robot finally gets pissed. He takes like the two by four from them, starts beating them down. That's what I love. Yeah, I just love the one where they're acting like they're clutches. They're stumbling all over the place.  Chad just makes me laugh. Anyway, that's how the world's gonna end. That's how- Oh, I know. That or something, it's all coming to the close anyway. I figure we've maybe got 10 years. Hey, everybody. What's up, everybody? Sorry. Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Sit Rep. I've got Kato back on here with me. Last time we did one of these was, I believe it was March or May of 2019. That's when we just first got to know each other. I invite you on a Sit Rep. I look at, of course, we've become great friends ever since, but we've never had another Sit Down follow-up Sit Rep. And that's what this is. I had one with Deluxe the other night and Kato said, me, me, me, me, me. So I brought him on as well. So yes, elites asked, are you ready for TF Con? I am ready for TF Con. I'm as ready as I wanna be. I'm just gonna go and be confused the entire, it'll be my first one. So I'll be a TF Con version and I won't know what I'm doing. So I'll walk around like a deer in headlights until whatever, I don't have any idea what I'm gonna buy there. I have no purchase expectations, but I don't know. I just wanna, I'm just excited to go and hang out at a big Con.  Yeah, just want to have. I don't have the shopping list either. There's a few G1 things I'd like to get, mainly accessories. If I find a figure I don't have, so be it. But there's nothing I'm particularly after and I find it odd that we are less than a month. I mean, it's the 28th now, TF Con's the 22nd. It's like you said, by this time next month, it'll be a memory. Yeah, and they don't even have any of the exclusives listed yet. That's weird to me. Like the Chosen Prime, Toy Dojo, let's see, who else normally has an exclusive there? I know those two really always. Usually all of them. Does TF Source, I don't know. Anyway, I know Dojo and Chosen Prime. Hey Benjamin, thank you so much for the super chat. He wants another sound wave. I say, let's give the man what he wants. Let me get his comment off here so he can see sound wave in all his glory. Ravage is checked. Just the best. I went, I got myself a mount for my phone. So I have a GPS mount and I actually tested it over the weekend to see if I could still drive with the top down and the GPS going course. Granted, the end of October, I may not be on the interstate with the top down. Yeah, especially heading North. Yeah, John Doe just said ages three and up usually has exclusives. Yeah, I've got an exclusive for them. I actually have an ages three and up exclusive. This is their, it's a remake or a remold of, who was it? It's mastermind creations. It's hoist, I think, trail breaker. And it's just like a, yeah, it's awesome.  Yeah, I love weathered stuff like that big Devastator back there. It's a, yeah, they're terragists. This is the only exclusive that I have from the first and only Shardicon convention from 2013. Yeah. It was a one and done convention. They wanted to do more, but they just couldn't, they couldn't swing it. So a lot of the guys from Shardicon kind of moved into TFCon. So I know a lot of them. They need to kick off Shardicon again or at least what we need is, we need a TFCon in the Charlotte area. That's way easier for me to drive to. Yeah. This is what an eight hour drive for you or eight or nine. Yeah. It's five for me, four hours and 51 minutes is my shortest route. Probably going to be about nine or 10 hours. Well, I drive all the damn time anyway, so it doesn't matter. It's going to be a haul. I got the new vehicles. I'm looking forward to taking on a road trip. I just got some new tires. That counts. Fucking. All right. Well, let's go ahead and get this started. This is another set rep, of course. So I have 10 questions. Five for you as a transformer collector. Five for you as a YouTuber. So we're going to kind of catch up from the last time that we did a set rep. And there's Larkin and Rodimus just hopped in. What's up, everybody? Rodimus. Rodimus. He just got back from his date seeing Transformers the movie. I saw that. What a date movie. By the way, Rodimus, super jealous of retro cons. That all looked very awesome. Yeah, I was hoping Cybertronic's spree would show up for ours, but I don't. I don't even know. I doubt it. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe they could. Well, I don't know. Can they have a karaoke? I don't know. I've already got you. Oh, God. Don't karaoke. I won't say it's impossible that it'll happen. The only reason I would not do karaoke at TFCon is because I don't want to end up on somebody's super chat. Yeah. That's what it's going to be. I'm a little worried about that myself, but once the... I don't know what I'm going to bring with me. All right. Let's go ahead and get started. We'll start with question number one, sir. What was one of your collecting goals for 2021 and have you achieved it yet? One of my biggest collecting goals for 2021 was to ease off on stuff and only by... I say it before, only by things that I want, but basically eliminate a few lines, streamline a few things, and go from collecting like six or seven different types of things to just a few. Did I meet that goal? No. I made it way worse. Burt. Way worse. Burt. I almost said Burt. Burt is most likely Burt. Well, it's funny. We were just talking about that because I told Kato this month. I mean, I've been doing a lot of toy hacks and a lot of blended bots and figures already have my collection. I really wanted to reel myself in for TFCon and then I saw the sweep pop up for Salem GameStop jumped right on that. And then we're talking today. I'm like, what's the difference between the sweep and scourge? He's a lighter collar and his hands are switched. I think that's what Kato said. So I'm like, why don't you pay him $35 for a figure I already have? The only reason I would get that and I'm not getting it. I don't army build. I just don't care to that much unless it's just something I really, really want. But the only reason I would get that is if I missed out on scourge, I would just get a sweep and collar scourge. But then there's people like Larkin who bought 37 of everything. He done army build, he armada builds. That's right. Where is TFCon? TFCon is in Baltimore, David. And I think this may be my first time going to Baltimore. I've been to Boston a few times. I've only been there. I had a friend that grew up in Maryland and I went with him probably in my early 20s to go visit where he was from in Maryland. But I don't remember hardly any of it for tons of different reasons. But yeah, I've been through that. I remember eating seafood there. Oh, I remember going and I think I remember going crabbing. Like going to try to, I think it's about all I remember from that. Everything else is a blur, a blame vodka.  All right, question number two. Have there been any figures that weren't on your radar to pick up at all until somebody else in the community reviewed them? Well, that's kind of an unfair question because I didn't say it was gonna be fair. And the reason I say, the only reason I say that is because between our chat on Facebook and the reject the kind of chat on Instagram, I mean constantly showing each other stuff that didn't matter. But I wanna say, oh yeah, I'll say the deluxe. I saw his, I think I picked it up this year. It was the Legend Scale Starscream, the New Age Starscream. Yeah, that's pretty accurate, came in. That the New Age Starscream, actually I was messing with that earlier today for another review and that got me. That pretty much sold me on getting New Age again. Now New Age are the Legend Scale, right? Correct. And it's phenomenal. What is this guy? Iron Factor, I just got this guy as a lender. Oh yeah. This will be my first Legend's third party and I hope it doesn't put me down another rabbit hole. It might. Iron Factor's really good, especially they do mostly the IDW, maybe entirely IDW stuff, but New Age and those guys make some stellar, that New Age Starscream is probably one of the best Starscreams out there. Masterpiece, whatever you wanna call it, that thing is stellar. And I was just messing with it today to do a different review as a comparison and reminded me how much that was. But I was not gonna get that at all. None of the seekers. And then of course you got our Facebook chat where every day we're like, look what I got, look what I got. Here are my targets today. Yeah. I mean, most of the stuff for the most part, especially mainline, we're gonna get anyway. It's the third party stuff that I didn't, that I wasn't considering like that Legend Scale, Starscream that I really, although I will say that T-Man probably got me getting Marvel Legends again, at least to some degree, freaking T-Man doing those Marvel Legends reviews. That's about the only thing stocked at my Walmart right now. Tons of Marvel Legends, my Oli's has tons of Marvel Legends.  I was just there today and all they had was Wave 1 Kingdom Deluxes and Headmaster Reissues. I think there was a hard head and a Chrome Dome. And that was it. Headmaster's Universe stuff. Guess which two figures they had. Oh yeah, he made a Skeletor. He made a Skeletor. Hey, here's Leeds again. He's given something I know what he wants. Here, Nick. This is for Nick. Look, Nick is unhappy. Sorry, this is the frowny face. Sorry, man, but he asked for it. I keep in mind, that's gonna be my roommate. I might see that in his life. That's a little scarier than it probably should be, but because you were probably gonna see that. Do you remember what Burt told you? What his ticket to fly to Baltimore is gonna cost him? He got some crazy deal, didn't he? Well, dollars.  It's all his points where he's a dance dad with his daughters and he's went all over the place. Oh yeah, yeah, flying all over the place doing that. Yeah, that's all right. It cost him, he might be getting this ticket for $12, but all those dance travel trips, it's cost him a lot more to get that. I'm sure it's up here. Yeah, so it's all there. There's been a price paid. Leeds just loves people's reaction. Yeah, we know. He tortures Nick. $2 at a time just to make Nick cry. All right, well, question number, oh, what good? I was gonna say the Marvel Legends that you saw at Walmart, were they new? Because I'm looking for that new Spider-Man wave. I'll have to go ahead. Because I just kinda glance over those. I've almost picked up that hood figure just because everybody has so much fun posing him with that screaming look.   While we're on the subject, talking about TF Con and bots, let me get this pulled up so you can share my screen. What do you think of these new golden disc characters coming out? I think, honestly, this is the way to do those weird characters. Like if you're gonna do these random BS characters, that's fine. This is the way to do it. I've ordered a little flashy going on. This might not work. Yeah, all right. Epilepsy warning. Epilepsy warning, sorry. Yeah.  Everybody's seeing him. But yeah, I think this is how you do those weird characters. This is how you do exclusives and stuff like that. You don't need, those don't need to come to retail. I mean, I ordered them. But the Huffer, they're not bad. The Huffer sets only $41.99. Yeah, yeah. And then, what was the other one? The Jazz Repaint of Jackpot.  He was like $41. $22.29. Oh, what are you talking about? You get a Studio Series 86 Jazz, which is about 20 bucks. And for $3, you're getting a Target Master, Battle Master. 42, that's when you know you have a problem. Yeah. When you don't even look at the price. Let's see. Yeah, you're right. It's just 20 something bucks. You know, no wonder I couldn't find these earlier. Amazon has misspelled disc. I just noticed they have a DISK. Cause I kept trying to type it in earlier. Let's see. I'm looking at it. I'm looking at the Golden Disc Jackpot with Sites. Oh, yeah. We tried this one. It's DISK. All right, epilepsy warning, we'll try this again. That's funny. There we go. Somebody's getting fired. So that's the Golden Disc. Is it one of those European? You had one job, person. You had one job. I wonder if the Huffer says the same thing. Yeah, the Huffer says the same thing. That's... Yeah, I like that. Deluxe and I were just talking the other night about, you know, they keep going back to G1 for all these new figures being released, these new lines. I would love to see. I'm tired of 84 through 86. Let's give us 87 through 91. And the Action Masters, which we're now seeing was part of that wave. So that's awesome. If you look at the box, it actually has a K on the end of it. Disc and discs are listed as variants for something round and flat. So either one is right. It's weird. Yeah, there it is. Golden Disc. It's weird. DISK. Some European did that. It's people like Benjamin that put us in words that don't need them. That's who did that. I'm just kidding, Benjamin. You know, when we review it, we're gonna actually type out disc correctly in somebody's going in the comments section. It's DISK. Yeah, well, it's D-I-C-K. Anyway. All right, where were we? Oh yeah, we're talking Sitrep stuff. Number three. What is your favorite figure of 2021 so far? Favorite figure of 2021? Easy. Absolutely easy. The TFC Toys at Camouflage Nuclear Blast Optimus Prime. 100%. Oh yeah. Easiest, that's the easiest thing I've got. I'll go ahead and tell you, when I do a top 10 this year, unless something comes out and blows me away, that's gonna be the figure of the year for me. That thing was a pleasant surprise. Oh, here's one already starting. DISK is original spelling. DISK is when CDs come out. Okay, cool. Yes, but the golden disc was played by Megatron spinning it in his cannon, which is the same way a CD plays. So it is a golden disc with a C. Dun, dun, dun. Thanks, I'm here all night. Benjamin, I was just kidding. It's fine. As a Southern United States citizen, it's multiple times that I make the joke. You know what, never mind. We're Southerners. We can't say a lot of stuff, right? Like Collar. Yeah, I don't think so. I'm known for that. My collar on my shirt's gray, and here's my collar that my neck called those. What collar is your collar? Collar's my collar. Benjamin, yeah, you're Canadian, so it's all good. That's right. Oh, man. Hey, Ryan, thanks for coming in. The regular Ravens fan. Men mostly worry about your own disc. All right, favorite figure we got there. Number four, what's the worst figure you've grabbed so far this year? Oh, man.  I love grits. I like them, I like sweetened grits. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, that's not, like people that put sugar. There's a special place for people that put sugar in grits. Grits, along with butter and cheese. That's it. The only other thing that goes in grits is the rest of your breakfast. Let's see. Appreciate it, but I can't right now. Least favorite figure. Least favorite figure. Come on, man. Man. Come on, man. I should have written these down when I watched you in Deluxe. Oh, I know what it's gonna be. This might be a hot take, I don't know, or people might agree with me. Frickin' terrible Scorponok from Kingdom. God, that thing was a turd without the leg extensions on it. The transformation's not fun. It's hideous to look at. That, I hated that thing. Now, but mine would be Rhinox. Scorponok, I could give a little bit of a pass too. Rhinox sucked. Yeah, Rhinox was trash too. They're pretty close. And it may just be because Scorponok's a little fresher in the memory than Rhinox is, but man, that thing just, it just wasn't pretty. Well, another problem with Scorponok too, he didn't look a damn thing like the cartoon. And it's like been, here in 2021, these figures have been so hit and miss, like Deluxe and I was talking, Studio Series 86, 80% of that line is dead on to the animation models.  I mean, Blur had that long hyper chin and then Cup just didn't look like Cup at all. The thing about Blur and Cup, had they gotten their head sculpts right? Those could have been just phenomenal figures, especially Cup. Cup's transformation is really fun and his alt mode is beautiful. Blur feels like it should cost about $10 less than any of the other figures.  Which the original toy had too, where are you gonna put those, but still. But then you got figures like Megatron, Cyclonus, Cyclonus didn't count, that was kingdom. But it could have been. Well still, that's a 2013 line because I'm still referring that because some of the Beast Wars figures look spot on to the animation. And yet some of the others are like, what? Like Scorponok.   That upgrade I got that I did a video on, I mean, it trashes the alt mode. It may as well not even have an alt mode, but it makes it such a better figure. And it really ruined me for Scorponok because I got that, whoever made the third one. Oh yeah, the transform element one, the small one. And that thing.  Okay, that transforms, talk raw. He's gonna argue with us. I disagree with you all about blur and cup. Blur has two Rs. I own the G1 blur when it first came out and I feel it's pretty faithful. Even the arm kibble is accurate. It's not, it's faithful to the toy, but we're referring to the animation look. You compare Studio Series 86 Blur's face to the 86 Movie Blur, it's nothing there.  I mean, they even got RETGAR right. The mustachioed Autobot. That's my biggest complaint with blur. I like the transformation. The vehicle mode could have used wheels. That's another complaint. Yeah, but I mean, as far as it being toy accurate, that's fine, but that doesn't, that means it's not Studio Series 86. The whole point is for it to be as close to 86 Movie Accurate as it can be. Now I do have a gnaw on the way. I can't wait to see what he looks like. That's a great figure. This thing, it feels solid, man. It almost, I didn't say this in the movie. I haven't watched your. It almost feels third party. I haven't watched your review yet because you know how we are. We usually don't watch each other's stuff until we get it. Well, spoiler alert, it's awesome. Okay. All right, number five. What's your most anticipated figure coming out? It's gonna be in line with this guy up here, the TFC Megatron. If it's anywhere near as good as that thing, I'm gonna love it. What's he gonna turn into? He turns into Destro, because this is basically the G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder. He turns into, what was Destro's tank called? Demolisher, Devastate, it's gonna be. Yeah, something like that. Somebody in shadow, correct me, or let me know, but yeah, it's, and it can be a helicopter, a tank.  I think that's, yeah. A dominator, there we go. Yeah, I knew it was. Yeah, dominator, that's it, yep. If I'm thinking correctly, that is not the one I wanted to bring up. Dominate, is that the one that had the bubble up top? It would come up if my brother had a lot of those Iron Grenaders vehicles. It's an Iron Grenadier dominator. So the Megatron is gonna be where the helicopter blades end up becoming, I think the cannon for the tank mode, but the way that, let me see if I can look it up, but the way that the whole thing looks, if it's built like that, I just know I'm gonna love it. So that actually is my most anticipated, I guess a close second to that might be that the Armada, the fans hobby Armada Megatron, that looks good too, but I never got that. I think going back to the TF Con question, if I see Naval Commander, the fans hobby Armada Optimus Prime at TF Con, there's a good chance I won't be able to pass that. Now the Megatron looks pretty good too. That's what I'm saying, that would be right below the TFC one, the Megatron one, the Armada Megatron, I want that one too. But I still haven't gotten the Naval Commander because I just can't bring my, it's very difficult for me to order something, to order a transformer around that $250 range. Yeah. That's like a limit that I haven't gotten comfortable with yet. I'm listening to you, but it was brought up about what Blur looked like in the cartoon. Trying to find him, a good shot of him from the cartoon or from the movie. All the cartoon images I'm seeing, okay, well here's this close to that. Well the arm pieces, it's not that the arm pieces aren't that accurate, it's just that there was no real way to slim them down. In the cartoon they were, they got real slim against the back of his arm, so they made a little more sense, but. Yeah, but what we're talking about, I mean, our complaint with him is not the body, it's the face. Yeah, 90% of what I don't like about Blur and Cup is the face. The arms are the least of the problems. There we go. So yeah, he's got the flaps fold in, they don't stick out as far. That's a terrible shot. It is a terrible shot.  And I get it, it's a $22 toy, you're not gonna be able to get all that third party transformation where it collapses and does all that cool stuff. But, I mean, again, the arms were not the biggest problem with that. That was a problem. The biggest problem was the Jay Leno head. Yeah, that's what ruined it for me. Still got him, he was the last one I got because I really had no interest in him but cause I had to get him. And he, like I said, he feels like the plastic feels like it was about $10 cheaper than pretty much any of the other ones. And Transformers Talk, we're all podcast just donated $2 to the channel. Thank you so much, we shall treat you with us. Give me the bird. We can dance, cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance for the no friends of mine, same. That is one of my favorite 80s songs.  I love it. Okay, when I'm in my Jeep and I'm driving, I'm serious octane, I'm a hard rock metalhead. When I'm mowed in the yard, I listen to summer hits of the 80s. I've gotten, man, playlist. That actually might be a good question for any of our little interview channels is like, what's what playlist? What's on your playlist right now? If you go into the car right now, what's gonna play? I have a USB drive plugged in and a lot of Dylan music, which is a blend of rock, 80s, video game. It's just all over the place. His favorite song right now is Scarlet Cross by Black Veiled Brides. We listen to that three or four times a day. That's awesome. Yeah, if you go into my truck right now and plug my phone in, the first thing you're gonna hear is, I think we actually talked about it. I've been on a kick of listening to old-time radio podcast. This has been like Gunsmoke and old Western radio shows. That's the one you shared with us the other day. I like it. That's right. It's a lot of fun. Benjamin has mentioned that New Iron Maiden album to me. I still haven't listened to that. Yeah, I didn't get that too. I hear it's phenomenal. I listen to Maiden every now and then too.  As long as it's rock, I'm happy. Yeah, I go through the whole gamut. Pretty much everything but opera. Oh man, Alice in Chains, yes. Love anything Alice in Chains. Oh my gosh. When I, years and years ago, I worked in Circuit City and I worked in the car stereo department as a first sales then installation car stereo stuff. I used Alice in Chains constantly as demo music because they sound amazing on a system. I like all those. Nightwish, I accidentally stumbled upon, it was late one night an octane played their story time song and I fell in love with that group. And that's the weirdest video. Ever listened to them. A voltage I've heard of. Here we go, here we go. This is from the regular Ravens fan. I have a big question. How do either of you handle dust on your figures? I'm gonna tell you, I've gotten incredibly lucky. The room that I'm in right now is like the least dusty room I've ever been in. I don't understand how there's two big doors that lead out to a patio right there. I have yet to have to dust anything in this room. My biggest problem is not as much the figures but those black shelves. Yeah, I know that. And of course I got the air conditioner right here. Now in the summertime it's blowing stuff. So there's black shelves I dust a lot. The figures really aren't too bad. Now every now and then, especially when I review one, an old G1, I sit there and I'll clean it up. They're really not too bad. The figures don't get dusty. They don't show it as bad, but then fricking black shelves. I got a black bookcase here. I got the black shelves there on the sides. That's where the dust really comes in. Yeah, now if I bring something down to do a comparison and I know the camera's gonna be real close to it, I use one of her old makeup brushes to just dust it off a little bit. Now I'm gonna be changing rooms. I'm going to the bigger bedroom. We're moving the other stuff all around. That room gets a little dusty so I can imagine having a problem. Rodimus, with your question right there, is that the soundtrack with the KMFDM song from the Chun Lee and Vega Fight? Because if that's the one you're talking about, I'm listening to that now. I love that song. That Chun Lee Vega Fight is one of my favorite animated fight scenes ever. When she drives her heel into his eyes. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's an animated movie, an anime, that I can't pass up if it comes on. That is awesome. I forget where, I got that on VHF. I rented it one time. Oh, Street Fighter. I was like, that was the most hyper-violent cartoons. I'm like, I love this. Yeah, that was, I remember doing the same thing.  I need more water. If I remember correctly, this is my channel so I can cuss. I think it's Kill Motherfucking Depeche Mode. I remember, if I remember correctly, cause it's something that band does not like Depeche Mode. I think that's it. The anime was like, what? This trans armor talk just went really weird. It got real. Yeah, the anime movie was awesome. Oh my God, I was right. You know what? I was right. I was right. So I get a... Hey, Bacon, just in time to get a Bert. Bacon, what's up, buddy? Bacon's in the house. Quick apology to Bacon. How is Beast Wars Month going, brother? Man, there's been some cool stuff, people in potion on there. I'm gonna go ahead and apologize to Bacon while he's here. I won't be able to do the month. Well, I can. I'll be a week late doing the month in review this month or October. Don't hate me. Big shout out to Bacon for letting me borrow all these Mama Jammas for that Beast Wars Month. I bought that figure for my wife at Shardicon because she is so into sharks and that figure's sitting at her desk at work. This was awesome looking. This alt mode is gorgeous. Yes, robot mode kind of sucks, but I love that art. Yeah, yeah, but that alt mode is gorgeous. Same way with the guanis. This is a pain on this. It's beautiful. Oh, I know. I gotta get these back to you, Bacon. Thank you so much, Chauncey. I appreciate that. I'll tell you what, he's gonna get a special thank you from me. That is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. You are welcome. That's why I do these. Is that that guy that does all those crazy videos where he is pulling sheets out from under cans or stuff on a table with his nipples and half naked, I guess, hilarious? There's Elites back in. Elites wants to see another Burt. Thank you so much for the super chat, Elites. Let's see. What haven't we seen yet? I don't know. We'll give this one. Two sexy, one my shirt. Two sexy, one my shirt. So sexy it hurts. Look at him.  Yeah, he has to look. I feel bad, because if you ever want Rod, if you want to keep a secret from Rodimus, just play those videos constantly and he won't look. Like, he'll just have to look away so you can do whatever you want. And you heard the Burt. Rodimus is going to TF Conn as well. It's going to be so much fun. It is going to be fun. I think, I think, isn't M3 coming too? He's coming all the way from California to TF Conn. Yes, as far as I know him. He's got a glorious four-foot beard of his. Pac, I think is also coming. I don't know if you do know Pac from 3Live Stream. I know him. I've never talked to him. Who else is going? Of course, Firetox. Firetox, T-Man. Yeah. Elites is on the air going. Elites, CobraKlam was going. I think he backed out. He's going on a family vacation instead. Let's see. Hi, Ken. Hi, Ken. None of the other rejects are coming. Today, since my, I told you guys, I'm so excited about TF Conn. I forgot that my four-year anniversary is coming up. So I uploaded, I tried to upscale it. Into more HD, but I uploaded my very first review today. My God, things have changed in four years. One's this. Oh, my God. You got the four-year reviewer gut? Well, when I first started reviews, that's when I was on that security team. Then I got the desk job. Oh, yeah. That changes things. Oh, we've got a guest from Holland. Hello, welcome. Welcome, welcome. I would love to tell you hello in your native language, but instead, I'll just say hello in my native language. Hey, y'all. Nick's going, oh, you'll get to see Bert dance live too. Yeah, Bacon, Bacon, why aren't you going? Not going back to Maryland, I grew up there. Man, this is, this is right up your alley, man. You can write it off. This is your business. This is a tax write-off. What are you doing? Come out there. Although you are like completely on the other side of the country, so I get it. Oh, let's see. Most welcome. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to catch up. Yes, I know they speak English fluly, OK. And here's Enew Tavi. Enew Tavi? Man, I roasted Enew Tavi at our game show the other night. I heard. I got four questions. I heard you being. Thank goodness for D1 questions. That's not fair. He had these silhouette questions, and they were just too easy. He picked kingdom figure alt modes. Who's this dinosaur shape that looks like a raptor? So I missed it because I was messing with work stuff. But was it basically like a who's that Pokemon of Transformers? Pretty much, yeah. Pretty much. John Doe asked a question here. Patriot Prime reviews.  And no, we've never met in person. We have never met. The only person out of my whole group I've ever, well, now I'll take it back. I've met Deluxe, and I've met Bert. Yep.  He's not part of our group. I met Balt Matrix. I met Bobby Skullface. Some of those bigger guys. Yeah, the only one I've actually met in person is Enew Tavi, I think. I don't think I've met anyone else in person.  The whole plan was to take the presents on the road. I was going to actually go to at least some. I was going to make my way up to you, actually, was going to be like maybe the furthest. I talked to a retro nostalgic nerd about going all the way up there to see him in PA. But yeah, I was going to make a road trip and do like a Kato's collection presents road trip. And it still might happen eventually. But yeah, it was right. I mean, right when the Corvette hit. You know what, Jay Lee? Because of you, I'm going to make that part of the Super Chat now. I think that would be, I want to put myself. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah.  I saw that live and it was beautiful. Next Super Chat, destroying the universe. We'll be part of it, I promise. Next video, we don't have time to edit it now. Yeah, I can't edit it right now. Next video. Yeah, I watched that live and it was beautiful. We barely knew each other then. Yeah. I met him. The last time just didn't know. Somebody else said they met me.  I can't remember. First time I met Enu Tabi was in a food line and parking lot because he didn't want to invite me actually to his house. He didn't trust me enough. And then I returned the favor. How do I return the favor? By inviting you to my house, Enu Tabi. And filming, dancing and molesting your giant, Optimus Prime. That's right. Hey, we'll ask questions. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Sorry. Well, we made it through all the Transformer question. I love these. That's why these are so much fun because you and I derail and then we get the chat involved and it's just fun on a bun to quote Bender. Oh, here he is.  The wife said the house was a mess. That every husband uses that excuse blaming the wife. Sworn by fans so I didn't say hi. You know, I'll admit that was weird when I first went to because I think I had just cracked 2,000 subs. And right before TFCon is when I finally got my groove with this channel where I kind of have the same approach that I do now in all my videos. And it was so weird because people come up, oh, hey, can I shake your hand? Can I do it? And I'm like, huh? It was just on. I got recognized at a local convention, surprisingly. I think I've said it before. Probably the funniest recognition I've ever gotten of sorts was at a pretty good. It was Joe Fest, actually. I was at Joe Fest and you guys have heard me mention it before. The lady of the house has a channel of her own and I'm sitting there talking to a guy about these figures right here, these animal warriors of kingdom figures, the guys that make those. And we're talking, me and this guy, and all of a sudden she gets a tap on the shoulder and says, hey, are you Audrey D. Love's? At a Joe Fest, the toy reviewer gets ignored and her channel gets highlighted. I don't know how that happened. Oh, I remember that. I had like three or four people. I remember that. You were popular before you knew it. I know. Oh, tell me. Oh, Ryan. He lives near Dame Chalk.  And make sure to find us. Yeah, I'm easy to pick out. I'm like six foot four. And just if you're going through the crowd, just look up a little bit. You'll see a Patriot Prime and probably Rodimus Primal, because he's tall too. Not Deluxe. Deluxe comes up to my belly button. And just below them will be me. And then somewhere down there. Well, Bert's about right here to me. Yeah, yeah. Is Bert like six feet? He's around that. Yeah, that's where I sit. That's where I rest. You know, you're talking about TF Con. I need to get in contact with toy hacks. See if they have anything they want me to give away. Oh, yeah. Oh, and it was so funny. Hold on. I'm spending $2 to say, do you need these? Do you need tea lights? Actually, I got taken care of. I contacted my dealership and they're gonna hook me up, buddy.  Oh, right. Lazy Jedi has been friends with Bert for a long time. So I know he enjoys it. I'll talk about funny meetups. I've mentioned so many times was when I first met Deluxe. I had got to the Reston Hotel early and I couldn't get in my room yet. So you actually, there was the front of the hotel. So you could walk through the lobby to the back of the hotel, where it was like this open courtyard thing with all the restaurants. So it was a nice day. So I was walking out to the courtyard, just kind of sitting chill while I was waiting on my room to get ready. As I was coming in, Deluxe, I was going out, Deluxe was coming in and he tripped over the lip of the door and kind of crashed into me. And I mean, he came up literally to my belly button.  That's funny. Oh, Ryan, the regular Jet Ravens fan said, I thought you guys were getting tables. No, no tables. We're not, we're not. Not a table, but it's possible that we may be part of a panel that's in the works, but nothing has been guaranteed yet. Because from what I understood is they can only do four people for a table. So we're kind of arguing, figuring out who the four people are gonna be. So it can't be all of us unless, I don't know, maybe we can switch out. Hey, I'm cutting out and we'll let such and such speak. But we'll see. We still got a month of work is out. Something's happening. If not, you'll just hear us at the bar. Well, here's a quick question. Before I start on my question, is there any figure from 2021 that you still want? Yeah. I get, I still want that naval commander from fans hobby. And I still want double evil, which you have. Oh, he's glorious. My number one figure from 2019. And I told you how weird it was that I got him, right? Calls for the longest time. Everybody kept harping on. Carnifax, carnifax, carnifax. And there's like double evil. So I go and I see double evil, I don't know how many times. And in the last day, I find like, okay, I'm dropping the X amount of dollars. I'm getting carnifax. I took him home, opening up. I was like, ah, this guy's awesome.  He was no fun to transform. And the more I messed with him, I was like, I do not like this IDW look. I'm a G1 guy.  I like the G1 aesthetic. And so I start Googling double evil. And I'm like, that's the one I should have got. So I packed carnifax up. I only transformed the top half of him. Sold him on eBay for $50 more than I paid and I got double evil. Yeah. Remember that. I still need to get that figure. But it falls under that same category of like the $250 price range that I just, it's hard for me to, it's a hard pill to swallow. LazyJet, I asked, is Rodimus worth the asking price to you? Yes, I think he is. Yeah, he's pretty good. I'll answer that pretty simply. Yeah, I do, I do think so. You're gonna need to fight me for that. There's plenty of them. That's awesome. That's gonna be great content for my channel. Yeah. And we're gonna do it at TFCon. At TFCon. The double evil double down. Here's elites again. If you want to find me at TFCon, I'll be wearing cowboy hat and cowboy boots. I'm down with that. I like country music. And for your mask, you have to wear a bandana. That's right, a red bandana. Well, you don't want to wear, you got to be careful in Baltimore. You don't want to wear a red or blue bandana. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Let's see, what shall we give elites? I'll thank him personally. I'm not happy, but that one to me is way worse than Bert. Just so. I'm definitely, as soon as I get off here, I'm gonna find that clip of me destroying the universe and that'll be on the next live. That'll be a good one. That's funny. I'll have to add sound effects or something. Elise says he's got an American flag face shield. So that's good. All right, all right. I ordered a Patriot Prime logo face. So I'll see how it works. Oh, and I've got a girl at work who has her own decal company and she's making me one of those silhouettes on my Patriot Prime logo to put on my Jeep. Oh, that's sweet. I'm supposed to get it tomorrow, so that's gonna look pretty sweet. I can't do vehicle stickers. It messes up the job. All right, well, let's go ahead and back to the sit rep. Oh yeah, we are doing a good job. Let's see, we're 48 minutes in and here we go with question number six. All ready? These are the YouTube questions. We last talked in 2019. How has your channel grown since then? Exponentially. I don't remember how many subscribers I had in 2019 at the time, but this last year has been pretty good. Well, the last month has been pretty shady. The last year overall has been really good. It's been really good. I mean, since then, I think since we spoke, I've talked to like Stan Bush and like F.J. DeSanto. That's just crazy stuff that's happened. I've met like, I should say I had met you guys all then gotten to know a lot of a lot more folks like closely and talk to every day over chat or something. So yeah, the channel's been growing great, but the friendships have been growing really good too. So that's really the cool thing. Now, have you noticed this month that your viewerships went down? So far to everything. Her channel did the same thing. It's mine too. I just thought it was weird. It's like everybody just quit. Yeah, I don't know. I think the more states that opened, the more, not just states, but more countries and states that have opened up with everything going on, people are getting out and about a little bit more. School started back, more people going back to work. It just happens. But yeah, it's been like a marginal decrease. And my best track's voice. Well, I'm not bragging, but I'm pushing for at least 90K by TMCon. That's awesome dude. We're hot on your heels, Rodimus. Yes, we'll be with you. Give us a couple more decades. Decades, yeah. Both of you have really clean reviews. So good to watch. It's the end of the summer, heat for winter. Unfortunately, we can't wait. We gotta keep making stuff. We gotta keep producing or we'll bottom out. Yeah, so I went out of town a week or so ago, for a week, so about two weeks ago. And I just didn't have time to film anything before I left. It was just a little bit of chaos. And I'm gonna tell you, a week without putting the video out, man. It's like starting all over again. The way the analytics are for YouTube, I used to do one a week, and it was just really, it was kind of flat line. Then when I started doing two or three a week, it would spike, but then after that second day, so you just have to constantly keep activity going on your channel or you will bottom out. That's one of the things that I really wanna do in the upcoming year. Like, honestly, I want more subscribers, but not for the reason that, listen, we're never gonna make a living at this. I know folks think that you're doing reviews. Let's see, in the entire time of doing this, from a company, I've just recently got a thing sent to me for nothing. Everything is bought and paid for by, and it's never gonna equal out. Like, I'm not gonna get rich doing YouTube. It's not why I did it, it's not gonna happen. But, so I've got to get that perspective going into 2022 because like, I wanna put a couple videos out a week and then fill in the gaps whenever with like something live. One of my favorite things to do is this. I love doing the reviews, but the presents and like you with the sit-rep and stuff like that, to me, that's way more fun than doing a review, talking to people. Oh, I know, the reviews are fun. What'll happen with a review too is when you feel rushed to make one, that's when you start screwing up. And when you start screwing up, you get pissed. And when you get pissed, your anger will come out on the video. If you recall, I promised I was gonna give you guys a combaticons review. So a couple days ago, I'm trying my damnedest to get the intro shot and I kept having all this stuff happening, finally got mad, the combaticons are right here on a box transform because I had them laid out ready to go. And then of course I got wrecked Garry. And so it kind of fell the wayside. So now I'm woo-saw it back so I can do the combaticons again. So, but yeah, you don't wanna, you have to have fun making your reviews.  They're gonna be like, hey, he doesn't look like he's doing this. Why is he just going through the motions?  And that's what a lot of people will comment. Hey, we enjoy your reviews because you enjoy the figure and you enjoy what you're doing. Yeah, and you can tell, you can feel it when you start getting pissed off and aggravated. I've had to walk away from a film and just because I'm like, I know that my aggravation is coming through and it's normally it's something ridiculous.  But like mostly it's just like, I can't string a thought together for five seconds and it pisses me off. And it just... Well, you've seen my Blueprint Reels or how many takes I'll do. I appreciate that, Ryan. He says he can tell everyone doesn't put in the effort in to give you honest opinions. That's why I watch you guys. And one of the biggest things that ever was said to me was a couple of years, I think just right after my second year anniversary when things really started going was when somebody told me, because I was getting aggravated because I couldn't find this figure, this figure. And I was told, he said, don't worry about how fast you can get the figure out because viewers don't watch your channel for the figure. They watch your channel for you.  I mean, there's a little bit of self-imposed pressure to get a figure early enough to matter sometimes. And but the truth is like, if I go back and look at those videos where I've somehow gotten a figure a little quicker than anyone else, it'll get the views, but it doesn't necessarily get the subscribers. And like honestly, what I'm after in 2022 is more interaction with folks. I mean, we can look at our analytics and show that like a certain percentage of subscribers watch versus people that aren't subscribed. I just, I want to focus more on having fun and if I get two videos out a week, I get two videos out a week. That's just how it is. And I want to do a live now and then. So that's just, I'm going to take an in stride. Like I said, I'm not going to make a living at it. So may as well enjoy it. Thanks RKR. This is a good man right here. He hops on all of our channel. He's awesome. Yeah. You had him on too. Right here. Here you go. You guys can get a figure a year late and I'd still watch it. There you go. Well, it's like you said on the reviews 35 years late. That's right. It's like you said some time ago, it's like I lost my train of thought, but it's if they're, we're trying to be personalities. Like it's not just. All I remember is cause I was asking, do you see yourself as a YouTuber, as a reviewer or do you approach your channel as a personality? I have went in my mind, I want to be more of a personality than a figure reviewer.  They don't land a hundred percent, but I try my best. Yeah. That's kind of the, we're not going to beat the guys that get the stuff way early. We're not strong enough in the game yet. I mean, And I don't know guys who drive trucks. Yeah, exactly right. Nothing's going to fall off the back of a truck for me. So it's, you know, it's, there's, there's a lot to be said about taking that pressure off yourself. If you, if you just don't need to be first and just do the figure. Nick, Sunday night, I'm going to try something new on my channel. I'm going to open up one of these and the chat can join in. Come on guys. It's not going to be like a full, yeah, I don't know what I'm going to get myself into, but I just figured that'd be a unique way to do my four year anniversary. So you can hop in and say hi. I'm going to limit it to an hour because there's no telling what will happen. Oh yeah. You're going to get some dry buys. You'll know, you'll know if it's worth continuing doing, but at least StreamYard gives you the preview first. Yes. You know, if you look down in the bottom of the StreamYard thing and you see somebody's Wang swinging around, you'll know, not sure about it. Yeah, he ain't coming in. Very many move damn Wang, Wang hanging, Wang hanging. Wang hanger. Bacon says tag team sit-rep. There you go. Bacon, you come on. We like hanging out with you. Yeah, you're fine.  Are we doing questions? I think we are. All right.  Question number seven. Seven? Yeah. We've been hit with a lot of challenges over the last year. Has worldly goings on, because I'm not saying the name, changed up how you approach your content. Not really. Like, I don't think it has. I guess there was a time I was able to put out a lot more stuff just because I was home more often, but I don't think that it really changed how I did anything. I don't think so. No, cause I mean, we did, most of us did the same stuff overall. We did a super good guy again, Prime. I think we did these more. Because we had nothing else to do. Definitely had more chats and more live streams, but my job was affected by it, but not as much as everyone else's. Cause I go long gaps between gigs anyway. Thanks, Franco. So it didn't affect me as much as I know it did. Unfortunately, other people. That was me. Never, ever, ever slowed down at my job. I kept going. I was out in the public every day. My wife got to work from home and she got super paranoid. So I was the one that went to work. I was the one that went grocery shopping. I was the one that went to Walmart Lowe's. You name it. I did it. So I never stopped. It never affected me one bit. But I had, there was a stretch of time there where a couple of big jobs got canceled. But I mean it, I live in an area that didn't really, I mean, it hit off pretty good in January of 2020.  So we didn't, her job, she just kept going the whole time. So yeah, she worked retail. So they had some stipulations but everything still kept flying. So yeah, not really. That's a bad working habits. Yep. That's very true. Yeah, Ian Tom is right, his never stopped either. We may have hit on this a lot already. As a channel creator, what advice would you have to any new tubers starting out? I think elites, he's dying to start doing a channel. He mentions it all the time. Elites, for me, I mean, I know this is Kato's question, but for me, my best advice for you, you wanna start your YouTube channel? Start your YouTube channel, what are you waiting on? Yeah, that's the first thing. The first thing is just to do it. Make crappy videos if you want to at first because I can promise, I've said it before on here, you've said it. My first, however many videos, especially my very first video, was horrid, horrid. And I kept it up there just because it's funny because of how bad it is. It took me like 30 minutes to review two tiny MicroMasters, it was terrible. I didn't know what to say, the lighting was bad, I didn't have the right frame for YouTube. So the video is all jacked, it's terrible. That's part of the reason why I popped up my first video today. I mean, I had, I don't have the cup now, it's in here somewhere called as a Star Wars cup, but you know the phone cases that have the belt clips on it? I had a video with my phone, so I turned my screen around, so I'm looking at the screen and I clipped that belt clip into that big old, we call them moose cups, remember the big cups that come from Artie's, plastic cups, that is why you see that angle pointing up.  I had no lighting other than my lamp. Yeah. Isn't it like one of the most difficult things to get right? I bought so many little lamps to try to get right. I have three LED desk lamps and this. Yeah, I went through. I went through so many lights in the beginning just trying to get, because I kept going, I didn't know what I was doing, the light, it was too- Everything's in from Walmart, six bucks LED light. Like the first set I got was too yellow, it was all bad, it was just bad. My phone, my camera was bad, everything was bad in the beginning. But yes, elites and everyone else, the first thing to do is just freaking do it. And get, here's, do it and be aware that very few people are gonna watch for a really long time. Yep. I mean, very few. When I first started, my first video was October 4th. Then I think I did one later on. I did three or four videos in October. Hardly anybody was watching, so I didn't make anymore. I thought, ah, this is a bust, I tried. And it was one of my buddies, one of my very first subscribers said, hey, you're not making videos anymore?  And he says, your Overlord video is at 5,000 views right now. And I was like, okay, so I hop back on. I think the next figure I reviewed was a G1 Megatron. I got copyright strike immediately because I put a clip from the show in it. But you do it and you learn. And each video is a learning process.  Be well-spoken, be articulate. Kind of know the subject you're going in beforehand. Don't be one of these guys.  Take it out, get to know it a little bit first. That's what I like about the Studio Series 86 figures. You can take them out, mess with them, put them back in the box. If you're one of these guys that wanna show in the package, which I do in my intros. And I think another side to that is if you're gonna be the guy that just takes it right out of the box and messes with it, just make it part of the thing. Like, I mean, maybe that could be your thing. You don't know the figure at all. I know Enu Toppe does that a lot. Like he doesn't really practice messing around with the figures that much because he wants it to be a completely fresh take. Cool. Commit. Yeah, you gotta commit. Whatever it is, just commit to it. And I mean, I changed my videos up now. Like I'll try something different that I don't need. I don't, yeah, I guess I'm concerned about whether it'll land or do well. But sometimes I just think it's something fun to do with a camera that I wanna try. And if it works, it works. The cool thing that you did for a while was when you did those transformation. You wouldn't show transformation. You just push the figure over and he'd immediately pop into alt mode. I love doing that, but more and more people wanted to see, again, it's just a matter of who's watching at the time. More people wanted to see transformations and I just started doing those. Well, my big thing, if you've noticed in my reviews, I think for the last three months, I add chapters in all my. I like that. I just don't, I'm too lazy. It's actually, I set up the entire, what do you call it? It's already there, the template. So all I have to do is go in and punch in the numbers. Yeah, I love that. And I love that that's a thing. And one day I may not be lazy enough to do that. Another thing that was pointed out to me that I think worked really well is your thumbnails. Make sure you have eye catching thumbnails and be consistent. If you look through my channel, all of my regular figure reviews have that Star Spangled Banner with the flag wiped down, Robot Mode, Alt Mode, Patriot Prime reviews. My toy hacks is the figure, the grid background with the toy hacks logos. Everybody knows what they're getting into. Not a big fan.  A lot of people do that. You know, they're pointing the figure. They're really surprised. Not a big fan of that. Or just using a still from your video. You got to have something that's going to be eye catching. Don't pull a deluxe though. He put a picture of a titty bot up the other day and the titty bot was in the video. It's going to call him out on it. It took me the longest time to come up with a thumbnail. Like really, I've gotten it now to where it's normally a close-up shot of the figure, white font with the description, I've got it narrowed down now but I went through like a ton of different trying to figure out how I wanted my thumbnails to look. And it's very important. If you don't think a thumbnail is a big deal, it is because it's the billboard. It's the first thing they see if it even, they want to check it out. Even if it's not a figure review, I base a lot of what I watch on YouTube on the thumbnail. Oh yeah, it's human nature. Now, I agree with you completely. I do not, I don't, unless I make a joke about something, I'm never going to be one of these. I'm not. Now, I have Dylan do that for his reviews, but he's a kid. He's got that cute factor. Yeah, that makes sense. And I mean, there was a short time. Yeah, this is okay, man. Put it up to you. You don't want to bury your thumbnail in all words. And your prime presents the brand new War for Cybertron Kingdom Cyclonus look now. And I was just doing that too. Like trying to put as much information on the thumbnails as I could. And it just, yeah, first impressions or everything. Yeah, I went through like probably two or three different styles of thumbnail before I finally settled on what I pretty much use now for good. And yeah, it's like my presents have a base thumbnail. My reviews have a base thumbnail overall. And it's pretty simple. Show the figure. Yeah, look at my simple title. The same thing, the army radio with the image of the reviewer's logo. And you just stick to that thing. That's brand recognition after a while. I mean, it's a thing that thumbnail pop up. Ooh, Patriot Prime's got a new review. They should be able, at some point down the road, whatever, at least my goal is to say, if they see a thumbnail, they don't even have to read it. And they know, oh, that's a Kato review. That's a Patriot Prime review. Rodham Esparma does it. Most of us do it. And it's just one of those things that becomes a, it's just. Yeah, don't do the toenails. Nobody likes those. Those are always nasty. The toenails are even. What else is I going to say? It's hard to tell. Oh, if you're on social media and you're thinking of a thumbnail idea, throw them on there. It's like, hey, I'm getting raised our YouTube channel. Here's a couple of thumbnail ideas. Which one do you like the best? Let them judge. Let your audience decide. That's who you're shooting for anyway. You got to keep in mind, you may like it, but what do they like? What would appeal to them? Yeah, you know, when I first, when I first started my channel, most of my subscribers came from Reddit of all places. I'm not even on Reddit anymore. But like, it was, you want to harsh critique of what you're doing post anything on Reddit. If they like it, they like it. If they don't, you're going to know it real quick. And I only think I've used Reddit like you in years. Pretty much I'm Facebook mainly. Instagram every now and then.  Yeah, I don't do Twitter. I'm Instagram mostly and then Facebook secondary to that. And I don't use either one well. So it's fine.  Elites, I do everything except the editing on my phone. I do my thumbnail designs. I do my recording. I do my audio. Don't give me that excuse, dammit. Yeah. This, other than my live streams, this is it. This is my camera. This is where I edit this. I do everything on here. My phone is my webcam. I got a program so I can get a better picture right here. So yeah, I use my phone for everything. I don't edit on the computer because normally if I'm on the computer, I'm working and I don't want to be there. So yeah, everything I do is on the phone. There's, I remember. Yeah. I've never had a my spacey. Of course, I remember Atari 2600s being the cool thing. Because the bacon says the bummer about social media is it takes more time than it's worth. Yeah. 99% of my interaction on social media is, or Facebook and Instagram is the private messenger like us talking. And then like Inutabi, Sardo, and Larkin, us talking. It's, and then I'll put, I'm terrible at social media. So it's fine. Now, what do you mean? How do you connect the intro to the phone? How do I connect the intro on the phone? I don't know what you mean. Reiterate, please, sir. We'll try to help you out. Oh, maybe you have an intro and you need to get it from your computer to your phone. The web. USB cord. Oh, maybe he's talking, cause you mentioned having the webcam. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For me, I have an Android. So there's a program called DroidCam. You have to download DroidCam to your PC and DroidCam to your phone. So you turn on your phone, turn on your PC and it finds itself. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty crazy nowadays what you can do. It's easier than ever to start a YouTube channel now. That's it. But that's the problem too, everybody and their brother's doing it, so you've got to try to be different. You've got to stand out. That's for me, right off the bat, when I was coming up with my YouTube gimmick, my thing was gonna be a military theme, use it with a veteran, the patriot prime because of the tattoo. And that's the way I went because I've told many times, I hate wearing hats. I got out of wearing hats while I was in the military because I had to wear the damn things all the time. But that just became my gimmick in the video at TFCon and Firetox can probably verify. I didn't wear my hat. I couldn't tell you how many people would look at me weird, not sure if it was me or not because I wasn't wearing the hat. That's funny. He said, yes, Kato. So maybe he is talking about getting it from the computer to your phone. Easiest way is through the USB, but you can do things like Dropbox. You can Dropbox it to yourself from your computer. Email, email. But yeah, I do everything USB. I'll film everything on the phone. It's like my entry, everything I do, I film it on the phone. Then I transfer the files. I have a special new, I call it my new YouTube file. So when I'm doing videos and then I put it into my program. Now a lot of the stuff I've already pre-made like my Beast Wars intro, patriot prime reviewers is a channel that's saved. So I just got to move it over the toy hack stuff, move it over and then just add my new vids and put them all together. I actually love editing. That's one of my favorite parts of the video because a 10 minute video can be 30 minutes long with me screwing up, dropping stuff, fingers falling over. But so it's nice, smooth edits that make it look so good. Yeah, like I think that's another thing that people don't realize is if you're working on a review or a video, I mean, you've got a lot of times you have hours into it, you know, an hour, an hour, an hour. Especially these third party bots, like trying to get the transformation on screen, all that good stuff. Like you could be, you could film for two hours and turn out to be a 15 minute video. Well, like my toy hacks videos, each toy hacks video I do is about 10 minutes. And how I do it is, do I have a figure handy? Usually I always do. I got, let's, I got rat trap here. We'll use that for example. Is how I do a toy hacks review. This is my, it's, it's my trick I've discovered. The first thing I film is rat trap with, with the bot with the decals. Hey, it's Patriot Prime reviews and they were going to toy hacks review on rat trap. The decals included with this set are the three sheets of decals. Then I moved the decals out of the way and go straight into robot mode where I go over his robot mode. Then I throw him on the turntable that I got the idea from you, Mr. Kato. So I do the turntable look of him before. Then I transform him into the alt mode and I'll go over the alt mode and then do the alt mode on the turntable. Alt mode is where I start with the toy hacks decals. Yep. As soon as I film the end of it first. Then I film the, and then go back and say, yeah, I film, it goes forward, then backwards, then edit all together nice and smooth. So it's, it's funny, like the simple editing tricks you learn, like don't, you don't have to do everything in order. Mm-hmm.  Or, you know, anything like that.  Well, any more, that's when I'll just throw in the quick text and you can also do this. I forgot to show, because if you forget something, the comments, they're so forgiving. Oh yeah, very, very kind. And the, I will say this, 99% of the comments I get are really kind and really good. And I think a lot of it is the energy that you put out there, you get back. You know. And we love comments. We read every one. Oh yeah. And I know at least try to like it. Most of the time I will try to at least say something. I did a little hard thing. The people know that I read it. If you're nasty to me, I'm just deleting it. I ain't gonna see it. Well, if you're too nasty, we're gonna share it privately and laugh at you. Yep. And I do, I have got the comments a few times. A lot of people get mad because they think I delete your comments because you put a link to your YouTube channel or whatever. Man. That's not me. YouTube catches links and we'll throw them out. So you throwing your link to your channel on my video, it's going right in the trash. I don't have never seen it. Length and language. Length, language, hashtags. Hashtags, yep. YouTube has been really, maybe overly good sometimes. I'll go in and look at the held for review comments. I'm like, there's nothing wrong with that. And it's like from normal, like it was the other day it was that one held for review by, how was it? It might have been Raziel, Raziel Kane reviews. And I was like, what? Chris, have you ever watched one of these before? We always derail. Yeah. No, here's the thing. We don't derail. We ask questions between conversation. Yeah, we interact. See, that's the thing we like to interact. And I think that's why people enjoy coming on here. We, you know, we're here for you, if you think about it. You're the reason we do this. Oh yeah, otherwise we're talking to ourselves. All right, we're as Patriot. I can talk to you. I don't understand why people get been out of shape and make me neither, buddy. Me neither. It's trolls. They want to save the stuff to get us riled up but nine times out 10, we screen shot it and share it amongst ourselves to have a good laugh at. Well, we're at a time now where it's gonna sound like an old fart. But I mean, there's one entire generation out there that has never not known that you can't just say whatever you want on the comments section. That's all they've ever done. So it's fine. I'll just, a lot of it, I'll just remove it. And yeah. Yes, right there. Yeah, there's so much. Also, you know, somebody's not gonna come up to us and TFCon's like, you reviewed that figure wrong. Listen to your short stuff. Yeah, that's not kind of, like me laughing in someone's face because they complain about me at TFCon is like a far cry from like just like, listen, man. I don't care. But that's the big thing is I just don't care. Like, hey, you forgot to do this.  You said this when you should have said this. I don't care. I just don't care. Good bye.  Oh yeah. I've constantly responded to people that was just like, oh, let me go check your channel for the correct way to do this. Oh wait. You don't have anything. Yeah, that was, it's fine. I mean, there's people always gonna do it. That is a minuscule 1%, 99% great comments, very interactive and we love them. We enjoy them. I mean, I'm on there as soon as I post a video within 10 minutes, I'm like, what's people said about it? Did they like what I did?  I love, oh, here you're baking probably hit the nail on the head too. Yeah, a lot of envy. Like, you know, it's, it's, it's whatever. Like they don't bother me at all. And again, like personal attacks, I don't care. I'm almost 46 years old.  So. I've had bullets whiz by my head. I've had worse. That's what I'm saying.  Yeah, yeah, number 10. Number 10. Well, this is a simple one. It's time to promote yourself. Please tell our viewers about your channel and do you have any special shout outs? And one thing I want to go over real quick that I want you to shout out is you mentioned this a lot. Maybe some people don't know it from my channel. Where'd the rejected cons come from? Because you're getting ready to lose your rejected on status in less than a month. Hiring. We're about to start hiring. Well, the rejected kind of thing. I've talked about it before. But it was the last tier. It was the last tier. It was resting. It was the rest in TF Con. Because that's when we just got to know each other. Yeah, that's right. Because the next one got canceled, right? It was the rest of Virginia, TF Con. Everybody that we started to know you deluxe all these folks were going to TF Con. And it really kind of, it's funny because like myself, Inutabi, Sardo News by 82, and Larkin's Lair, we had us four. And if you look at like my early presents episodes, it was like the first four presents. We got kind of close just because we had, we were somewhat on the same level as far as starting out and getting into this a good bit. And we just made a joke chatting back and forth. It may have been Inutabi that actually coined the phrase rejecticons. I can't remember who it was. I'll give him credit. And then I went and made some little logo just for the fun of it. That was a Scepticon logo with a frown.   And the whole thing was kind of a joke. And it just became a thing. We ran with it and had fun with it. And now it's, now every morning, I can count on every morning when I wake up, whatever, three, four o'clock in the morning. Myself or one of the other guys are gonna say, are gonna have a good morning message on Instagram. It's really adorable, honestly. Inutabi says he's the idea, man, I'm the graphics guy. Yeah, yeah. So that was where the rejecticons came from. As far as my channel, I'll do the shout outs first. I mean, the shout outs are enumerous, right? It's all you got, Rodimus Primal, Patriot Prime, Burt, Firetox for all the cool, I've got some cool stuff from Firetox that I haven't had time to look at yet. Inutabi, Sardo, Deluxe. I mean, without Deluxe, probably neither one of us will be having these conversational type things. Yeah, Deluxe was the inspiration of these live streams or in or in acts. And I tell him all the time, he's not in here. I don't know what he's doing.  I tell him all the time and it's not a joke. When I first started doing this channel, I was watching one of his videos and I just randomly made a comment, basically asking for advice, like something about, I don't even know, it might've been a camera or lighting or something like that and he answered. We were just messaging back and forth for a bit. And for about a year, I thought he hated me. I'm still pretty sure I was right. I don't know, I think I wore him down. But yeah, Deluxe was a huge deal in me starting a channel and he doesn't want to admit it, but it's true. But then the subscribers, like we've met so many cool people just from the chat like this and I mean everyone, but the shout outs, yeah, that's a lot of cool people. And I have a link to Inutabi. Hey, Cobra Clan's here. No, I wasn't at Reston in 2019. That was it. I didn't go. That's why we were rejected. Probably was. Yeah, I was not there. That was the whole point of us being rejecticons as we weren't the cool kids. And that by me going this time, I may be fired from the rejecticons and we may have a now hiring sign up. But the pay is terrible. We are a con bro now. Yeah, that's right. We're con bros now. The pay is horrible as a rejected con and the recognition is negligible. So there's no big deal. You have to beat off the women with a sippy straw. Yeah, otherwise, but as a con bro, the women get to beat us. Wait a minute. Off. No, that's not true. Are you watching? I don't know if you heard this. I was asleep, I'm good.  Yeah, these are so much fun. Yes. Yeah. Hey, Cobra clan. I was just talking about you earlier, man. How I'm not going to see you at TF con. That makes me sad on the inside, but I still love you at Lobby bar. TF cons will be full. Have you looked at the hotel's website? It's nice. It's not. I have not at all. I've been bored at work. I've been checking out the hotel trying to see this around. I'm really just disappointed that most of the restaurants might still be closed down. We're going to have to find something to eat. I recall and make sure I get a microwave and a fridge in my room. Follow else fails, hot pockets. I have a cooler for all the beer. It's going to be fun. Am I the only one bringing my better half? Is everyone else like going as the single do? Ouch. She loves this stuff. No, I mean, I'm not going to have her follow. You're going to spend how much on that? Oh, no, I don't have that problem. I actually have to... I think she plays it well. I'm like, hey, I'm thinking about getting this. She's like, you should do it. And then it makes me double think. Like, well, maybe I don't need it. You know what's bad is now, because I've been talking about it so much, Dylan wants to go. And I was like, maybe next time. I said, I mean, I want to... There's part of me that wants to bring him, but I know hanging with you guys, he's going to be in his room. Yeah. I told him I said... He's not going to have as much fun as he thinks he is this time. He's not as into this stuff now. I mean, he was into it. Of course, now he's all Minecraft and Pokemon. But what I'd like to do, I know little conventions pop up here and there, take him to one of those. Now, when he was two, I took him to his first convention. He won second prize in a costume contest. Was that the... He was Spider-Man. It was a one in Virginia. Oh, yeah. You guys do great Halloween stuff. Thanks. Yeah. This year, we're still toying with the idea. Lisa comes up with the ideas. I always want to do something scary and gory. I want to do Jason again. Wanted to dress up Dylan as Sam from Trick or Treat. Oh, yeah. Lisa's like, no. I'm like, come on. He's perfect size.  You should have done an alien or you should have done an alien character and had him pop out of your stomach as an alien. That is still my favorite. Oh, that was awesome. That was awesome. I'll have to show you the back to the future when I did when he was two. He dressed as Marty and I dressed as Doc. That's so great. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, we want to do something for Halloween this year if we can. We might be able to swing it. Was that, are we done with the questions? We're done with the questions. I do have time. Already? Oh, yeah. Now we're gonna have... Gosh, it went by so fast. Digital caveman said we missed question number three and that was what was your worst figure of 2021 so far? So I didn't miss one. No, he was just messing with you. He was just messing with you. Okay, here we go. There's a big con in Roanoke. See, Roanoke's not too far from me. So there we go. I'll take him to something like that. Yeah, we haven't really missed a lot of cons around here. There was one this past weekend I just couldn't go to. I know Joe, Rodimus Primal, he just went to RetroCon and that seemed to be a blast. I was, again, I was gonna try to go to last year, but that didn't, because I was a retro nostalgic nerd, good friend. He keeps asking me to come up there and I just, it's a long drive, man. That's a long drive. That's the worst part. See, your better half's going with you. So at least you'll have company. I'm gonna be driving five hours by myself. And we have great fun on road trips.  So it's fine. We sing and yell and dance and make fun of people. She's terrible. She makes fun of everybody. RKR is kind of saying what we're all feeling right now. I'm old. I gotta get my beauty sleep. Have a great night, everyone. See you Sunday or the live stream. Yeah, I'm not far behind you, Raziel. I gotta drive tomorrow. The questions have been an absolute blast. As you, I knew it would be. I loved doing these things. I think it's one of my longest sit reps yet. Oh, and you were talking about shout outs and people that inspire. And I have to definitely shout out the individual that really kickstarted my channel. And that's Burt. Oh yeah. Burt. Burt. I can't, still can't remember exactly how we met, but something he saw one of my reviews and loved it. And then Burt is a former vet. He used to jump out of airplanes. I shot artillery and we just bonded. And he got on one of his streams one day and said, hey, I just met this guy. He does awesome reviews. Check him out. And my subscriber shot up like 200. And he's the one that says, you ought to do this, this, and this. And I took his advice and went with it. And we just have become, I'd say, best YouTube friends. And I cannot wait to meet him again at TFCon. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too. Cause I've gotten to know him a lot more, probably actually in this past year, you know, you talk to people in the comment, you talk to people in the comment section plenty of times and they respond back. And it's, it's a fun chatter. But like in the past year, I've gotten to know him a little better and we joke around. I think it may have actually been either on one of your live streams or Rodimus Primals. I can't remember where I, like the first time I interacted with him in person. I did one of those big group things. And I'd invite you and Burt and kind of it. There you go. Yeah. Great job. He blings me for beating all you guys. He wants a Burt before bed because we're talking about him. ELEACH, you pick the Burt. What do you want? He's the only time he says Burt is his favorite Facebooker. Agreed. He puts up some of the funniest stuff.  It's so funny because I try to post stuff. I try to be, I'll find a meme problem. It's like, I gotta beat Burt to this.   I appreciate it. See, ELEACH, what's, pick your poison, ELEACH. Which, which bird do you want? We're gonna close this out.  Oh, he said, sorry about this, Nick. You're not sorry. He's eyeing Burt's like a buffet. He gets Burt. Aye, precious. All you can Burt. You're not sorry. You're not sorry than Nick. Grimlock gone, hey, buddy. Nice to see you. Oh, he's not, he's not making a choice. He's not making a choice. I'm gonna choose for him. Choose for him. Want my shirt, two sexy, want my shirt, so sexy in her. Look at him. It was the right choice. Ooh, I know you, ELEACH. All right, guys, this has been an absolute blast. I love it. Kato, thank you so much for hopping in. We'll see you in the chat in the morning on good old Facebook. Probably in five minutes.

You're not posting. I'm deleting these. No, you're not deleting them. Give my phone Okay, you can give to your girlfriend. Don't put them on Instagram. I am posting them on Instagram. You should not Instagram worthy. What? Yeah Are you naked?  I'm covered. Oh, it's like a little dress. Your hair looks good at least.  Let's find you a shirt. No, this is like a little dress. This will look super cute. I don't want that on. No, Bill. Here, put this on. You're not going on Instagram naked. Look at that. No, stop. Okay, send these to us. I'm posting them on Patreon too. Send this to your girlfriend or something. I'm posting them on Patreon for exclusive photos that we're gonna post. You're not posting it on Patreon. Yes, we are. No, you're not. Yes, I am. I can. They're buying it for exclusive pictures. This is exclusive stuff that we're not posting online.  This isn't bad. This is like a little mini towel dress. You're naked. How to take towel dresses like pics. I'm not naked. I'm covered up. Now, if I was showing my boobs and stuff, okay, then I'd be naked, but I'm not naked. Babe, this is not funny. You're not posting these. I'm deleting them. You could keep some if you want, but you're not posting these on Instagram.  Like, you gotta respect me.  It is dumb. It is dumb. Let me take pictures on myself. Especially not Patreon. No, I want to show people behind the scenes stuff and pictures that we don't post. And that's what we're doing our giveaways on.  This isn't even bad, though. I'm really just in a towel. How is that bad? How is it bad? Because you're naked.  Why would you want to post this stuff? No, that's not even funny. That's not even acceptable. Why would you think it's okay to post a picture naked? The only reason why I'm getting mad is because you're not even respecting me. Why don't you ask me first? You don't have to ask me about everything, but for when you're doing pictures naked, that's crossing the line at that point. I do see a big deal about it. Taking pictures of yourself naked is not funny.  I'm covered up. You think that's okay? I understand you're covered up. Bill, listen, calm down for a second. No, I can't calm down. Are you kidding me? They actually see my boobs and stuff, but if I'm wearing this, I'm actually covered up. That's implying that you're covered up. That's an automatic outfit. When you're in a towel, it's automatically like, oh, she just got out of the shower.  It's a different thing. I don't know why you think that's okay to post. This is not you, so why are you posting this stuff? You've never ever wanted to post stuff like this. You've never ever thought of posting anything like this. Why are you looking at me like that? It's not funny. Why are you getting so mad? It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal? It is, Bill. It's like a towel dress, Bill. I'm not going to try to control you. You could post this if you want, but I just want to say, like, why don't I run this through me? You've never posted anything like this. You're trying to be scandalous on Instagram now. I don't want to show a different side of me. A different side of you, yeah. It's not even a side of you, though. It's like you're just trying to be someone else. It's not cool. Like, you should have ran through me. Like, I ran home working, and I thought you were getting ready so we could film today, and you're not even like, you're just taking pictures of yourself naked. I wanted to try something different, Bill. I don't see the big deal. We have so much to do. Come on. I don't see the big deal.  You're taking pictures of yourself naked, and I don't feel like if you asked any dude in the world... I want to take some more because I want to. You're not posting them, though. Like, I'm fine with you taking them, but you're not posting them. Hey, you're not posting them. Yes, I am, Bill. But this is not... I just want you to think before... Okay, you could post them if you want. I'm not trying to be controlling. But I just want you to understand that, like, this... You can't take them off if you put them on. Like, whatever you put on, it's going to be a problem. I'm saying... I'm putting this on Snapchat stories, though. You have to think. When we have kids one day, they're going to see you naked. Post this on Snapchat. No, you're not. Post this on Snapchat. No, you're not. I'm posting it on Instagram right now.  But I'm not going to be part of that. Let me post what I want. This is not you. Think about it before you do it. Let me post what I want, Bill.  I understand it's your life, but why is that okay? Like, run it through me.  It just baffled me. I thought you were joking at first. I thought you were just getting ready or something, but no. You should be dressed by now. Let's get ready and do something. I am ready. This is what I'm wearing today. I want to film some TikToks. I want to take actual non-nude Instagram photos. It's not nude.  Okay, but you're implying that you are wearing nothing on there, which I'm assuming you are. Why not just put a bra? It's not the time for jokes. I'm sorry.  Why aren't they running through you? If I was taking pictures of myself with my pants down and... Oh, it's just a towel, but I'm implying that I'm naked under the towel just to try to be sexy. You're trying to be sexy. I'm gonna care because I know I have you. Who are you trying to post that for? I would know I have you, though. Okay, but all these dudes that are looking at you, they're like, damn, Mariah probably doesn't care what Bill thinks. Who are you posting this for? I'm posting it for my fans. Are you posting it for our followers? No, our followers. I'm posting it on Instagram, Patreon, and all the other social media apps. You're not posting it on Patreon. Yes, I am. We just started it now. Yes. I want to post fun content for everyone to see. Why don't you just post what I want, Bill? Let me do what I want. You're not my boss. I'm not your boss. I'm your boyfriend, which means more than a boss. You're looking at me like you're laughing and stuff. My God, man. Come on. Have some decency. Have some decency for yourself and everyone else. I do have some decency. No, it's not even funny. I don't know why. Close your blinds, too. It's just upsetting that you would do this and not run it through me. It's basically like you're trying to have ownership over me. We're equal the same. You don't have to prove yourself as in, you can do what you want because you can, but to a certain extent. So you're posting actual Playboy stuff. This is literally Playboy. No, it's not. Baby, I love you and I love your body and I love everything about you. But come on, I'm not being insecure. I just want you to show me something like talk to me. Tell me that you want to do this stuff because this is not you. Okay, what if I told you it was a prank? What if I told you that I wasn't actually going to post them? She was just joking. Well, I'm just asking you. I'm asking you. What would you do if I couldn't do it? Well, if you're not going to post them, then that's fine. They're cute. You look good. But like, I don't think you should post them. If you want to send them to like your girlfriend because I know you guys, you know, do that. Because, um, it was just prank. Very funny. Huh. What? Team Mariah. Show me the camera. I don't have to show you my camera hiding spot.   My God. Like, you're just playing. Okay. Ah, Team Mariah. Delete those. I'm not, I'm not getting off camera to you to delete those right now. I'm deleting it for you. Okay, delete them for me then.  Let me see. Let me see if you're actually recording now. Yes. Oh my God. Why? Because I can. That was so bogus. No, it wasn't. Coach Harris said Team Mariah had to come back. The only reason why I was mad is because I thought you were posting it for some other guys to see and that was going to really make me annoyed. Like you were trying to post it to make other guys be like, ooh, Mariah, she's so sexy, you know. Here, who cares? It's a CBMZ posting a bikini pic though. Well, she is. Like my girlfriend's sexy is how about that camera.  Oh my God, guys. You don't know how to film. She does this every time we film. She's like, oh, I just pranked you, but can you hold the camera for me? This is so, like, annoying. I'm going to get Mariah back even better. No, Bill, you got me a hundred times in a day. This is what you get. Actually, hold on. Cover up right now. Cover up, please. I am covered up. Okay, cover up everything except your beautiful lock necklace. Wait, wait, wait.  There it is. I might have to get a lock necklace. All I have is this thing. You should get a lock necklace. Should I? You can go on the website that I got mine. You get the bigger one. Okay. Yeah. Let's do it. Actually, no, that would be cool. You want this one because you get the long one. Guys, comment down below what you think about lock necklaces and if I should get one or not. Yes, open goals. Really? Yes. We're going to buy one after this now. Okay. But anyways, here. This is your outro. You got me good. You did get me good the last time. Memory loss prank, right? And I pranked her a hundred times. Oh my, I pranked you twice in a row. You get this. Team Bill is coming back strong. Okay. But you put a really mad state. So I think Team Ryan actually came back.   Hey, everyone. If you did not see our recent videos, you're not safe either. Team Bill came back strong. And Ryan, yeah, she bumped her way up a little bit. But make sure to go check out our memory loss prank that I did on her. And I pranked her a hundred times in one day. Go check those out after this video because you're going to see that Team Bill is not a team to mess with. Let me just tell you that. Okay. You know what? You sound dumb. Oh my gosh. I hope you guys didn't enjoy this video as much as you enjoy Team Bill videos. Yes. Please delete them. Please delete. No archive. Look it. She's deleting them. This is personal proof, Mama Squad. Delete 30 photos. Delete it. Hey. Mama Squad, I don't want you to think that I was being rude or anything. I really just did not want her posting it.  You know what I mean? So like I really had respect for her. If she wanted to post them, I wasn't going to make her not. But I'm glad that you chose not to. We have to film TikToks today. And a Patreon. Oh, and we talked about it a little bit. If you guys do not know what Patreon is. I told them in the intro. Oh, you did? Yeah. Anyways, it's a subscription thing. The first tier is $9. The second tier is $15. Did you tell them about the YouTube? Yeah. We could teach them how to be social media influencers. Awesome. Like we wanted to make it affordable for you guys.

But if you do want the exclusive content, it is $9 and $15 for the bigger channel. But thank you guys for everyone that is following us on Patreon. And subscribing to our YouTube channel. And TikTok. You guys are so supportive. Oh, my God. I really hope you guys don't start going on Team Mariah. Because Team Bill has been litty-titty for the longest time. Oh, my God. Anyways, I will be back with another prank pretty soon. So get ready for that. Mariah, I'm going to give you this one today.  How many likes are we getting this video up to? 10,000. 10K? Oh, everyone. Let's not try to get this video. Let's get this video to 10K likes. For, I guess, Team Mariah. Because this was a pretty good prank. And now we're going to do the end of the video post notification shout-out. And this shout-out goes to Carlitos. Hey, Carlitos. He said, Bill and Mariah, how can I get a YouTube channel shout-out? All you got to do is be subscribed to our channel. Like our videos and comment down below when done. And that is how you get a YouTube shout-out. And before we end the video, we do have to end the video with the question of the day. End of the video question, which is? What is your favorite song? Or our favorite artist? I like that. Comment down your favorite song or song artist for the question of the day. And also comment if I should get a lock necklace. I think you should, because you get wonders like my look. I'm not trying to be like everyone else, but I've really been vibing with the lock necklace lately. Look, you get one just like mine, but the longer one. That actually is really pretty long. It is. It's cute. We'll see what the comments say. But thank you guys so much for watching. We really appreciate you being on our channel. And we will see you in the next video. But until then. But until then. Peace.
