ubing skiing place and that same day on the 18th at 5pm is one of the Christmas parties so like we're doing the tubing thing at like 10am being done by like noon or one things like an hour and a half away we have to come all the way back here somehow the kids need a nap or something Christmas craft to do the summer is so busy but then it eases up in January right like you get your new years which I really want to go out on New Year's Eve because New Year's Eve is a Friday it works on Fridays you make an under them there I really want to go out New Year's Eve and then um yeah after New Year's Day which is like my grandma's birthday and then it kind of frees up from there in January it's usually pretty chill you been to Christy Mountain? it's fun there it's not like the greatest place but I mean it's fun we usually go at least once a year I want to get, yeah a lot of people go tubing there the tubing is pretty fun there I want to get my kids into like snowboarding or skiing at some point I know how to ski Yulia knows how to snowboard now Yulia hasn't snowboarded since she was in high school so she will see how she does I haven't skied in a while either it's probably been 12 years for me but I wasn't in high school 12 years ago so I have skied since high school I don't know if it's quite like riding a bike but I'm pretty sure you know even though I'm older I'm pretty sure that I can for what I remember it was skiing it wasn't too bad it doesn't mean I'm doing black diamond I don't want to die but I mean I could probably work my way up to going down the blue hills yeah it's a lot I have a huge family game a lot and then my daughter has a December birthday so like it's just I'm overwhelmed I love Christmas but sometimes it gets to be too much my family is so the thing is I'm just talking about my side of the family Yulia's side of the family wants us to come over on like the 26th so like that's a whole nother it's just a lot I love them all and like usually once we're there I'm good like at the actual family gatherings it's really not that bad as long as the kids are behaving it's not that bad but it's like after like you get worn out from the one event and then we still have finals and everything else going on so we're already worn out then we get more worn out and then more worn out and then before you know it there's another event and oh we're having a good time at the event but we're worn out this is the month that Yulia and I because our jobs don't stop oh the kids don't have school the kids get two weeks off of school wonderful we don't get off of school until they're going back to school so our time off of school off of college begins once they're back in school they're home while we still have college to do we still have to work like it's insane it just doesn't stop doesn't stop it's just so busy we get worn out happens every year we get complete by the time we get to like December 26 I mean we're ready for someone to take the kids for a week we're just done it's just so much um it's not you don't have to pray for me guys it's a good life I have a good life, I have a wonderful family it's just a busy month it's just a lot at once like okay we had Halloween fine okay a month later you end up with Thanksgiving like one big thing a month is fine but when Christmas gets turned into like a five day thing then my daughter's birthday and then the Christmas concert and we have our school with finals and it's just it's just because work it's just like when I like I'm getting stressed just thinking about it which you know what that means it means I need a shot don't worry I got it this time I need a shot shot shot shot everybody I got it I got it Christmas was awesome when we only had like one kid even though it was Malady who had the December birthday it was still awesome and easier and I wasn't in college at the time it was a lot more enjoyable I got it we got our Malibu shot here don't worry I told you guys I got it I got the shot but I enjoy Christmas like I'm not really complaining I like Christmas it's just is it sad to say I like the moment I didn't have kids it was just less work that's all it was less work Christmas feels like work it's like having another job audio working there was a crash there for a second with it wait maybe I don't know what's going on I must have bumped the cord the power cord is not like forced in like it used to be your birthday is technically tomorrow can you please wish me happy birthday hold on I'll do something better than that one second I don't have it set up like I used to I used to have a birthday button but I'll do I'll do one better than that ready here we go oh and we're one up in that don't worry here we go I can't sing the actual tune because of copyright claims here's what you get happy birthday eat fry me bye happy birthday eat fry me fry oh happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday eat fry me fry eat fry me fry hopefully that auto tuned I have no idea it better of auto tune because like if I sing the real happy birthday song without auto tune you do get copyright claim it's stupid you would figure that would be like public domain at this point but it's not alright I hope you enjoy that no problem man hopefully it was enjoyable man enjoy your birthday tomorrow um your birthday was this past Saturday gotcha gotcha in reverse happy birthday bird man happy birthday bird man oh happy birthday happy earth day oh happy birthday belated bird man I had to stop it it was about to play again I forget that it plays on repeat if I don't hit the button lots of birthdays and why I super chatted myself to say happy birthday to you both I have no idea I guess I just wanted to vodka shot that bad so it was kind of an excuse look at my excuse to super chat I'm just trying to finish this vodka there's still a shot left at this vodka I'm trying to get rid of it yeah I try to be kind guys you know you did super chat who's got a super chat for me to say happy birthday man I try to do the best I can I try to get everybody I hope that even when I am like I'm if I ever get to become like a super massive successful creator I hope I still take the time to say happy birthday to people I hope that I still take the time out of my stream no matter what I'm doing to do that I'm doing it for as long as I can until it gets to a point I can't read the chat anymore and even then maybe I'll slow mode it up enough I have no idea Logan Long says hey guys Nate sorry had homework to do now let's party nice nice thanks for being up in your membership for another month and using your free message you get which is a cool thing they're doing so thank you I'm going to do my $20 vodka shot I just bought Birdman did something I have no idea what there it is Birdman did the $199 so that's a beer with the sticker I hope you were grinning while I did it and I hope that your parents were in the room or your friends are around or your girlfriends or boyfriends so they can either smile with you or you could be a little rosy cheeked a little embarrassed but maybe you just were grinning in your tear I like to show appreciation to everybody I don't care like Birdman's a mod it doesn't have to be someone it could literally be and I've never seen this E prime person like E prime if I I don't know I've ever seen that person in a stream before in my life now that they haven't been there but I don't remember them doesn't matter I try to recognize everybody Logan the block with the dollar okay that's two beer shots let me get my vodka one let me get the vodka one down the trap first oh that one did that one to stay down Justin what do we have the dollar trains hold up hold up hold up I mean we're clearly putting on some tea pain that's right we go into the dollar store maybe so thank you so much to Justin Basil and Logan the block each for your one dollar man for the two dollar sticker now E prime if I I do not want you to feel sad because one dude Nintendo Prime to sing you happy birthday I just did a shot in your honor what more do you want me to do kiss the ring here I'll kiss my ring here's the thing I don't mean any offense when I say I haven't seen you in a stream it doesn't mean that you haven't been in a stream what you need to understand is that like we have 67 people here now we were at like we peaked at like one 15 120 or whatever earlier my streams average a thousand different viewers every time I don't know everybody in the stream now you're on the discord server that's why our discord server has like 2500 people I don't really pay as much attention as you might think I do that doesn't mean I'm out there doesn't mean I don't chat sometimes everyone knows I do chat once in a while it's just it's hard for me to know each person individually I just got to tell you how busy my month is let alone trying to find time to chat to people I don't know on discord you know so it's not an offense that I don't recognize you don't feel bad now you might go but you recognize all your members you know like doggy, Logan LeBlanc, Justin Basil, deadly creature, Carl Shroofers here of course I recognize them because one they're at almost every stream and two their names get highlighted in green because they're members so because they're members it's just easier for me to recognize them in the chat like when I look it on the chat and I see the green names they stand out the other names don't stand out as much it doesn't mean you matter any less it's just a memory trick I'm really bad with names so I'm not even saying maybe I've even shouted you out before ePrimify I probably have I just don't remember I'm really bad with names the members I will admit there's a little bias in me towards remembering who the members are but that's because they pay money every month to be members so I feel like I owe it to them to remember who they are the weird thing to me is like when there's someone who I thought was a member but then maybe was a member and then became not a member and cancelled their membership and then I see them in the chat as non-members and I'm like what the hell like Ddub I'm pretty sure Ddub has been a member before maybe I'm wrong on that front I know Ddub on my Twitter sometimes as well but like I distinctly remember Ddub was a member at some point I think when the Pikachu fan was a member at some point and isn't now maybe not say when the Pikachu fan I don't know there's some other people that have been members that aren't anymore so like I kind of sort of remember their names but yeah so I'm not I hope that you don't feel bad now one thing that's cool and I think this is launching in 2022 YouTube is adding the ability to gift memberships which is something you can do on Twitch so what's cool about that is I can gift memberships as well as I just said I tend to remember members more so that's going to be kind of cool that you have to have chills at your first time but yeah, gifting memberships is a thing too so even though you might not be able to afford a membership in the future someone might gift you one that's like a cool feature coming I mean it's going to be kind of cool when if it gets to a point that people like gifting memberships like as I said we're trying to hit a 200 member goal you know how much easier the 200 member goal would be if people could gift memberships I guarantee you like I don't want to be presumptuous but members raise your hand use one of your custom emojis you get from being members use one of your custom emojis I don't care which one if once they launch the gifted memberships if you would be someone who's going to gift memberships to others who can't afford to be a member and I'm not saying this for my benefit I genuinely think we have a number of members who would love to gift memberships right now if they could I swear our members are amazing I guarantee they'd want to buy like 5 memberships 3 bucks pop 15 bucks or whatever I guarantee you we have members that would love to gift memberships to others if they could not Natu I'm not surprised that you'd be willing to gift memberships Justin Basil maybe the right day, right money situation Logan LeBlanc again would gift from when he kept Birdman might be willing even though Birdman you know what's ironic Birdman you donated all that money you're not actually a member right now now you're a mod obviously you stand out for different reasons but I mean look at that some are saying they consider it they might not do it but the bottom line is we don't even have all our members here we have 155 members so who knows what's going to happen and this is not a colony the fact that instead of buying super chats I spent like 50 bucks tonight on super chats I would just spend that on membership gift membership because there is a benefit to me gifting the membership it's the same amount of money to me either way but members one get their names highlighted and two they get access to all these emojis and you can use these emojis in the comment section on my channel and then if you want to keep that membership after a month it's up to you so yeah twitch is an amazing feature of twitch but youtube is adding it um when is youtube launching that feature when is youtube launching gifted memberships they announced that they're adding it but I'm not sure when youtube gaming is going to launch gifted memberships and live redirects so live redirects are raids so like we could what's cool about how raids work on twitch is that you can say okay guys we're going to raid this person and then I type a command in chat and it sends everybody who's currently in the chat to that other stream so we can raid them and what's cool about that is it shows support you're showing support to fellow content creators um and they're adding that ability to youtube they're adding that ability to youtube um as well so they're basically taking the best features of twitch and adding it obviously they can't add the amazon prime membership free thing because that's amazon own split the youtube gaming is going to launch gifted memberships and live redirects uh in 2022 youtube global gaming head Ryan watt teased some features sometime in 2022 hopefully early 2022 sometime next year we'll have gifted membership and obviously the ability to do a more organic raid by the way we probably should raid someone tonight if there's anyone I know who is streaming on youtube um and I'll look even if it's someone I don't know I might look up like a really small streamer oh camelot is streaming so when I end my stream you can maybe go raid camelot he's a good dude I'm gonna try to get him on the damn podcast that bastard he knows we'll raid him at the end basically I'll just link to his channel and say hey let's go raid him quick we'll even stay live while we do it you guys just open a new tab or something but raiding is fun it's a way to support uh new content creators and yeah most of the people who raid don't stick around but some do so it helps content creators grow and find new audience well I raid your stream uh that's your tds when when raiding is a thing officially sure you know I'm I like paying it forward sometimes we'll raid big creators like camelot is a bigger creator we're gonna raid camelot today he's a bigger he's bigger than me so we're gonna raid him today because he's the only one that I'm subscribed to that that's streaming right now but sometimes we'll also raid small creators help them out we used to do this when I was streaming on twitch for a few weeks um I was really pushing twitch and we'd have like 50 plus watching on twitch I'd be like hey let's go raid some of these people that only have like one or two people watching like let's make their day and like I would literally raid their channel and then I would donate to them like five bucks and they would just flip their shit you'd be surprised how many people would raid on twitch that would only have like you know one or two viewers that like one we provided them their first real audience and two that five dollar donation it's just five bucks it made their fucking day like they were more happy over that five dollars that they have to split with twitch or no they'll fight all donation they don't split but like they got the fight up they were so happy over that five dollars like it literally probably made their entire week you know crazy and I feel like that's what it's gonna be like on YouTube once we're able to do official raids that are easy to do right like it's really gonna make people today so and I love supporting small creators I mean like you know I know he actually gets quite a few people for his podcast but like I'll just restart he's smaller than me he doesn't get nearly the viewership I do he can pull on a live stream on a live stream he can pull a hundo he can pull a hundo he can pull 120 and it's like yeah so can I and I have a lot more subscribers than him but I can also do streams it's like significantly bigger than he does I can say we're giving away a switch OLED for Christmas which give away one for Christmas and have 500 live maybe 1000 maybe 1200 we had 1200 for one he's not able to pull that kind of stuff he could give away something and maybe pull 200 but he ain't pulling 500 1200 etc that's just the size of my channel my channel is big enough that it can pull in really big like I can do E3 and have 900 live all throughout E3 like I can do that you know that's the power of the size of my channel yet my average live stream might be right now be 70 to 120 viewers but on special events like the game awards I can pull and I can pull in ways that smaller channels and that's the same thing like you know Nintendo directs we're always pulling like 300 plus on it's insane like there's no giveaways Nintendo direct you don't have to watch it with me but people always keep choosing to watch it with me it's awesome so yeah it's one of those situations where I'm just really excited to help all smaller creators I just restart one of them we helped out what's his name Nintendo Academy he gained like 700 subscribers off of us like you guys are awesome thanks for subscribing to this channel hope you enjoy this content like I like helping smaller creators because I was a small creator once like I still consider myself a small creator but I'm I recognize am I really a small creator when I look at the super chat revenue and we're at $95 granted I paid for most of that like over half but like when my channel is making you know I'll just say like over a thousand a month you're still small but you're not like the tiny $500,000 you know or like the $1,000 $2,000 subscriber channels they're not pulling that kind of money they're maybe making a couple bucks so it's one of those I recognize that while I am small I'm not like nobody people have heard of me if I go to E3 somebody recognizes me every time whereas like Seb, Seb Aska's in the chat right he's got a channel with like 23,000 subscribers if he goes to E3 he probably won't get recognized one he's not on camera but even this voice won't get recognized but when I go I'll be recognized by you know a couple dozen people which means I'm still small I can still walk around comfortably and not get crowded by people but I'm not like massive I can still live a normal life I don't have to worry about going out in public I don't know if I really want to get to the point that I have to worry about going out in public I don't know how PewDiePie does it I don't know if I ever want to get to that point that I have to worry about going out in public but well it'll probably happen if I ever have to worry about going out in public because I'll just move to a country where I don't have to where nobody knows who I am like Norway or something just just get the hell out of the US yeah don't got to worry about anyone in Norway Ddub says you could do raids now you just always say buy a piece of well the buy a piece of very abruptly is basically I glance at the time I realize oh shit I still have to clean the house before Yulia gets home I need to end the stream so it's more so because I'm not watching the time I end up in an oh shit situation oh shit oh shit that that that that's the truth it ends up in an oh shit I don't want it to end up I hear about RKSV and League Justin Basil did a $2 suit I missed it I wasn't caught up with the chat the mic yeah my mic is having weird blips right now I think the cord over there isn't fully plugged in I'll fix it later cheers to Timothy oh Timothy oh Timothy what's up Justin Basil thank you so much for the $2 cheers to Timothy I don't know what happened what I missed I have no clue my chat wasn't caught up thanks for introducing us to the Nintendo Academy I've been enjoying this video he's a genuine guy there's some things he needs to work on Nintendo Academy if you're here a few tips I always have some tips for fellow creators I'm not the most successful creator in the world so don't mimic me don't be doing shots on stream and mimicking me I used to get compared to Attica even though he was way more successful than I was a wrestling piece man I used to get compared to a lot of people even HMK he gets drunk on streams on Twitch he's a good dude I can't get a hold of it pretty much anytime to be on the podcast love that guy I think that Nintendo Academy is very genuine and he dreams big guys remember we had him on for prime giving he donated a couple items for prime giving it was awesome but the thing is he made a bet with me that in five years on prime giving we will be giving away a house to a homeless family like an actual family a mom, a dad, kids, etc and like for him as a channel with 7000, 8000 subscribers that's a pretty big financial because he said 50-50 so that's a big commitment and for me in five years my channel is big enough like let me just look at the stats how many subscribers have I actually gained this year I don't look at this enough I probably should look at this more so I go to overview let's go from custom date January 1st to today so let's go 01 I hate the date thing so 01, 21 December 5th, 2021 so I have gained 14,000 and 300 subscribers total this year right? man that's a lot of revenue man that's the most the most money my channel has ever made insane you guys are awesome I wonder what the revenue breakdown is super chats and it'll tell me maybe it'll tell me I've never actually looked at the full year stats before that revenue starts you guys want to know how much you have donated and super chatted and how many super chats and memberships you guys have done in terms of revenue it makes up by the way 40% of the revenue made this year so still a majority made either youtube premium or ad revenue which is just youtube revenue because youtube premium is just people who pay to not see ads well you get some other features but for the year you guys have either super chatted or became members for a total of 8,850 test test test I don't know what happened there my sound equipment crashed that wasn't software that was hardware I hope this isn't failing right before we're about to do the game awards I don't have a backup well okay that's not true you guys saw me turn on the wireless system this is my backup this is my backup audio it's not on right I don't have it turned on for you guys to hear it my backup audio system is the wireless system I really hope my audio interface here isn't dying my amp and preamp here's hoping that it's going to be fine I know it's working right now I can see you guys can hear me again 8,858 dollars over the last year it's not a majority of the revenue but that's not insignificant fan support you guys are awesome and insane absolutely insane now remember I give away pretty much everything I make and then taxes that would suck dude if my main audio interface is dying I haven't even owned this for a year it might be under warranty if it's actually failing it could just be the cord too I am using a third party extender so it could be the extender although I don't know it's working fine for a while so I don't know why the cord doesn't need to be bad but whatever it's working now so I'm just going to have to pay closer attention to see if it keeps having this issue all week because if it has this issue on the podcast and we got Tim on that's going to piss me off that's really going to piss me off we'll see what happens let's see here we back we're good see I knew the audio crashed it wasn't one of those you guys started telling me I knew it crashed I just didn't know why it crashed because this was still on but it wasn't recognized in any signal and it wasn't showing up in my computer despite doing the duh like oh it's connected but it's not recognizing and it was weird so that's why I don't know what to do I thought the cord was loose over there because it's an extender cord it wasn't loose well bare minimum I could go in here I could unmute the camera mic which this is hooked up directly to the camera and then I could just do the wireless you know like but not today by the way you wonder why we're not using lav mics right now like oh man Nate why are you moving this not only is this better audio on the podcast to use these mics another reason why I'm using these right now is because you see this these are my really good lav mics those really expensive $150 lav mics nothing wrong with the mic works fine notice there's no clip this mic uses a really thick clip the problem they don't sell the clips the clips broke Eric broke all three of them so we got the three mics here Eric broke all three clips I don't know how he did it it wasn't intentional but he broke all three clips and the problem is we can't find them anywhere we literally cannot find the clips so we can't use them because we can't find clips that work with them isn't that fucked up like to me like that's just so fucked up that we can't find clips they don't sell so to get new clips you have to buy new mics that's so dumb so I don't know at least like the wireless system one it uses a metal clip but even if this metal clip somehow breaks which I don't think it will like I can lose it like this I don't think it will it looks like it's a standard size and I have a bunch of extra standard size clips they're plastic but I've got like a hundred of them so even if this metal one which I don't think it's going to break anytime soon but if it did break I'm pretty sure my standard clips would fit on the wireless system it pisses me off so anyway that's not why we switched I was already debating on going back to these for the podcast it'll be like this for the podcast but the reason I'm going back to these is because I wanted higher quality now that we're now that we're doing our own podcast channel I really wanted to focus on increasing the audio quality because the podcasts are like an hour and a half two hours, two and a half hours long they're long so I wanted to make sure the audio was good for the audio if you guys wonder why we haven't been doing audio versions of the podcast up on iTunes because it hurts when I listen to it audio only no video I can't imagine what it's like for people trying to listen on iTunes so I wanted to make sure we went back to increasing the audio quality we ask our guests to have good audio quality but then they have better audio quality than us when Tim comes on, he has a really nice microphone it's pretty shitty when our guest has better audio than we do especially when we already have the equipment to do better audio so that's but still I'm using a lav mic right now my old lav mic, this is one of my cheapies it works, it's fine it's not as good as the other ones but our other cheapy lav mic is completely broken the mic itself doesn't work so it doesn't matter with the clip, the mic doesn't work so I've got these three lav mics at work that are high quality that I don't have clips for and then I got this one that I got a bunch of clips for but it only really works for just me equipment man equipment issues better light, better light better light, like it's holiday but it's got Christmas tree and presents um bless those pirate pots alright so some of this is okay so e-prime you're talking about shotgun mic so I don't have any shotgun mics currently but it's not for lack of effort so I have rented three different shotgun mics one of them was like super expensive like it's like a $3,000 mic I rented it for like $100 for a day or a weekend or something I can't remember the other ones I rented were more budget friendly $150, $200 ones which again, not cheap but relative for shotgun mics not that big a deal, plus I have a road shotgun mic that I can put on my camera um the camera is too far away for the road shotgun mic that's built for the camera to matter because it's literally just too far away like it's gonna get echoes and background noise and if it catches anything because I had to turn the game up so much it's not whatever so I have played around with shotgun mics so you said for your set right here the best mic you can do would be a shotgun mic like you could mount it down here you know, you could put it down here angled up so it stops like right here right off camera, can you see my hand here right below that, you could have the shotgun mic right there you could, and if you wanted to be really good you could have a three mic setup this is, well it'd be a five mic setup if I include Eric, but for the podcast we'd still use our stand alone mic maybe a three mic setup so what do you mean by three mic? you'd have one shotgun mic here you'd have a shotgun mic ceiling mounted right up here off camera another one right up here off camera, which they'd be way off camera, it had to be like an arm that moves like this because I'd have to be able to move them out of the way for what I'm standing up back here to make the set more flexible but, here's the thing I obviously never tried the three mic setup which is what someone suggested that I'd try three shotgun mics which I can hook up, I do have the hookups for three but I tried one and the only one that sounded good was the studio grade nearly three grand one and I sat there and I go, okay, yeah obviously this is what movies use, right, they use shotgun mics movies, by the way, don't use lapels they obviously don't use those they use shotgun mics that's their entire bit the problem is shotgun mics work best if they can be put in the ideal situation at all times that you're in for those who don't know in movies, most shotgun mics are held by a human they're held by a human so they can always be in the best ideal place just out of frame to get the best audio and you might go, but neat you're set a stationary it is, I'm not stationary I move I'm going like this, I'm going like this I'm spinning around, I'm dancing, I'm doing this and the problem is it doesn't pick up the cheaper ones, the $150 $200 ones, doesn't pick up enough of my audio to keep it at the same volume so let's say I'm doing a live stream and I'm using this mic I'm like, hey everyone, how's it going you guys are awesome in everything let's move it down here, be more realistic let's say I'm talking, how's it going everyone you guys are doing great this is the podcast, we're having a good time but if I talk over here the volume drastically changes if I talk this way or I talk this way I don't talk directly into it, you need to base all your movements around the center point to the best audio, if you go over here if I turn towards Eric and I don't turn towards him like this hey Eric, see now I'm still talking to the mic or if I turn towards Eric and I go like this hey man, how's it going it's going to cut out that was happening with the shotgun mics now they have a wider area they can get an area like this when I set it down here it was like this you're like, oh that should get you sure, it does if I stay in this area if I'm like, oh yeah like suddenly I would cut out so the shotgun mic didn't work because it was stationary it needed to be held by a human because I moved too much now a lot of channels use shotgun mics PewDiePie uses the shotgun mic you can see it, he literally has it like he uses it in the way you use this except it's like over here it'll be like his shotgun mic will be like right here and he'll just talk and I'll pick him up the space for it goes like this so he's right in it picks him up you can see it but it's not covering him and it picks him up it's a situation that it's hard for me to set the mic up just right because I moved too much man I'm a mover on my most recent video I asked you guys did you prefer the better audio that I get with this for my normal video my podcast videos I'm using this regardless because I'm worried about maximum listening for headphones and stuff like that so I'm worried about best audio so I'm switching to that anyways but I asked you guys what was better that or this this is my wireless this isn't cheap there's cheap wireless systems you don't want to buy the cheap shit the cheap shit sounds like crap this doesn't sound great it sounds okay this is like a $250 wireless system it's a two pecs Eric and I can both use one I got this one because we can use it at E3 and other events also we can unscrew this and I can plug in a different mic I can use other lavalier mics I might be playing around with this I have other normal lab these are XLR labs here's one I don't have a clip on it right now but I have extra clips here's a normal lab mic which is basically what this is I have some normal lab mics that might be better than this one that might give better audio or the audio is just distorted because it's wireless I have no idea the Sennheiser ones are the best for a single person the point I'm making though is that people said I should use this and why did they say I should use this over that one, some people just didn't like that that was covering me at all any part of my face they don't think it's worth it two, they notice in my videos I move a lot that I'm turning that I'm sometimes going like this and like literally talking away from where that mic would be if I had one talking back here or I'm dancing or I move I move a lot I am an expressive talker I'm sure you guys have gotten that by now I'm a very expressive talker because of that I need a mic that moves with me and the nice thing about labs is that they're here no matter where I move it moves with me and that's what's nice about the wireless system I'm not tethered in such a certain way it's going to yank the cord and then it can break the mic that's how we actually broke the other one of these, I'll show you guys quick so we have another one of these and I broke it doing a stand up video because the cord yanked when I turned and that's why we got the wireless system so I can have freedom of movement now you can say Nate just teach yourself not to move so much like hey spawn wave he just kind of I'm right here alright guys hey guys welcome to news wave today we got a bunch of stories for you we got some switch stuff we got some xbox news maybe a little bit of halo infinite yeah so let's get right into that news today oh hey everyone so halo infinite actually reviewed very well today on metacritic and he stays right in here he stays right in this zone now why does he stay in that zone he's using a shotgun mic shotgun mics are great if you stay in a small zone he doesn't move he'll move his hands he'll do some expressions with his hands not as much as I do but he'll do some but his head and his body stay in this same little zone so because of that the shotgun mic works very well very very well I don't know if he has it set up down low or up high he has an actual like a literal a separate studio building away from this house so he can have it down here off camera he might have it above his head it doesn't really matter you can angle the shotgun mic one way or another but if you stay in that certain zone oh my god the shotgun mics are great but in movies there's a reason that they're held by a human because you need to move the mic as the person moves now in really bad movies you sometimes see the mic hop in from the top in some scenes it's funny in some of the really bad movies where the sound guy didn't do a good job keeping himself out of frame he's got to know the exact distance at all times to stay out of frame it's really hard to frame it out sometimes in post editing but yeah that's why they manned by a person they got to react to how the actors are acting keep the audio levels great which yeah they mess with the audio levels in post but to keep it at the highest quality they can when you're a solo creator like me I don't have someone to hold the mic ideally someone is over here holding a pole with a shotgun mic and they're just moving as I move that's just how it works so like it works really good to stay within a certain zone that's why I don't use it it's too restrictive for me as a solo content creator it's more freedom than this it is because this I got to talk like this if I back up this doesn't pick me up but the shotgun mic still will if I talk like this the shotgun mic still picks me up this shotgun mic still picks me up I talk like this the shotgun mic doesn't pick me up anymore so it offers more freedom than this but you still have to stay in the zone and that's why I brought a swan away for a moment if you watch him he doesn't move side to side he doesn't turn his head he stares directly into the camera and he just stays in this zone and he just talk I don't know if he has a he might have a teleprompter or a screen with notes also whenever he has to read a quote you'll notice it's like even if it's a small quote like a sentence you'll notice he cuts away why do you think he cuts away? some people someone mentioned today they don't like that I look at my phone to read my notes like oh yeah that's distracting that you're looking at your phone to read your notes you're right in an ideal world what I do in that situation you know I don't even grab the phone on camera well I grab it on camera but I cut it out so I'm like oh yeah so here's the deal and then I would cut away to gameplay or I would cut away to an article or I cut away to quotes and I'd still be reading off my phone but it would never be on screen for you the swan way very much might be reading off a phone or off a computer or something but you wouldn't know because he cuts away a lot swan wave cuts away a ton which to me tells me he's reading off his phone or reading off maybe not paper notes but off a monitor or something that you know where he's not looking directly at the camera you never get a shot of swan wave not looking at the camera because anytime he's got to quote something he cuts away there's a reason for that because it does look unprofessional for me to whip out my phone by the way people thought that it took me multiple takes to flip my phone in the one video it ain't that hard look at this I'm staring at you guys and I'm catching my phone look how many flips look at this how many flips till I drop not that hard at least not for me maybe it's hard for you guys but um yeah like I know it's distracting for me to be like always reading off his phone it doesn't look professional I know I should cut away it's just hard time every time to like edit in a quote like that you got to create a separate image file you got to type out the quote manually you got to make sure it looks good you got to make the background look good even if it's just gameplay you got to blur that gameplay it's not difficult it's only like an additional 10 minutes of editing but when you have an hour and a half after you're done doing research to record transfer the footage from the micro sd card to the computer because you never want to edit the micro sd card directly ever ever you never want to just drag the file into your editor off the micro sd never that is horrible practice literally you can destroy your micro sd card this is all your progress no you always want to take the footage off the micro sd card to a local storage drive or even your main hard drive on your computer before you edit so you got to transfer that that can take 5, 8, 10 minutes depending on how big the files are my files are 10 gigs for every 10 minutes it's a gig a minute and I usually have about 30-ish minutes I usually have about 30-ish minutes of footage I throw out a lot of it but I have about 30-ish minutes of footage because you might go like cut but you don't actually walk over and stop recording you just kind of regather your thoughts you got all this dead air you got to cut out it's pretty normal in the film industry but like I'm one person so you transfer all that over and before you know it you're looking at man I only got about a half hour left to edit and then upload 10 minutes to add in moving graphics quotes manually typed out 10 minutes I got it's either I get the video out as is or I don't get the video out and that's the reality of a solo content creator who isn't doing this full time now if I'm doing this full time that's different because then I can be like oh I got way more than 90 minutes I got 4 hours I can literally take my time and do it right and make it fancier like I keep telling people if I get to the point that I can do YouTube full time it's over but we got to at least double the current income of the channel or consider doing YouTube full time which means we probably have to double the size of the channel and we probably have to double the viewership of the channel so right now we get about 250 to 300,000 viewers a month so I need to get anywhere from like 550 to 600,000 views a month and I probably am going to need about I don't know 150, 160,000 subscribers to do that which doesn't seem that far off when you think about it, if we hit 80,000 this month which I don't think we will I mean 100,000 could happen next year I told you guys, we only hit 14,000 subscribers so we would have to increase our subscriber growth after this year but can we? maybe? it's not possible to think well if we got 14,000 this year can we do 25 next year maybe? so that's kind of the ins and outs giving you some background behind YouTube yeah so ePromify says that's one of the things I love about being an editor it's finding those little spots and cutting them out yeah it's like you cut out the dead air but then on top of that there's like okay you'll cut out the video part but the audio is great like there's many times I'm editing the video and I go man this is the perfect time to do a sweet transition into this very specific moment I know exist in the game that I don't have a recording of yet but like I gotta go play the game to get to that point to get that specific recording or in a pinch you can borrow it from somebody else's video and then just give credit down in the description for borrowing like a 10 second clip or something like it that's not frowned upon by the way as long as you give proper credit and you're not using the entire video you can pretty much use any clip I mean literally it's a feature on YouTube if you're a YouTube premium member you can clip videos so like it's totally allowed and legal so if you don't have time to record your own stuff or it's in a really weird part of the game it's hard to just get to but even then it's like okay even if it's not a clip like okay I know it'd be really cool if I had this one motion graphic and I did this one sort of transition I typed out this text and I get 10 minutes 20 30 minutes edit that would be really cool for like I don't know a 15 second spot in the video that would make it look so much better and grab attention so much better and be so much more professional I know these things I've done these things any of our longtime viewers know I have done some very highly edited videos they had some really cool shit going on I've had flames I've had shit flying across the screen I've had myself flipping around in the 360 in one video I've done some cool ass shit and I know how to do a lot of it not all of it I'm an expert but I know how to do a lot of it but the way that I do it is so time consuming that's a part time YouTuber doing this when I have spare time hard to squeeze that in you know very hard to squeeze it in so we just make do and do the best that we can that's why I tried that's why one I love practical sets practical sets require this editing like having to use a green screen by the way people wonder do you have a green screen get this up high enough yeah that's a green screen my entire the original plan I was being stupid I was being stupid with my original plans for the set so when I built this set we have this giant green screen that can like cover a huge wall and I put it connected to this desk thinking that I needed the green screen so I can key it out to put in a ticker remember the ticker I used to do before I realized I don't need to key out a fucking ticker the ticker can go in front of the video why would I key out for a ticker that's stupid the only reason to use a green screen is to be in the background you don't need it in the foreground you can put anything in the foreground without a green screen I can literally not have a desk here but put in a desk in the foreground I don't need a green screen for that screen screens are only good for the background or beneath you or above you foreground doesn't I was just being dumb and it's been there ever since now I technically have an entire room that's a green screen that I don't use right now but yeah I don't know I like practical sets I like my set I know some people get annoyed that I don't always put the TV in full frame on my videos the reason I don't put the TV in full frame is because I look really tiny it's a big TV I look really small next to the TV so like if I had to blow it up anyways so I am in frame and looking great I know a lot of stuff man green screen use is also pain in the ass sometimes key even if you get the perfect key which like is perfect to give me the perfect key also limits your wardrobe like you can't have something that's too teal because it'll get keyed out you can't have something you can't wear green anything so Zelda as an example my favorite franchise is Zelda a lot of green involved with Zelda I can't wear any of my Zelda shirts or any of my Zelda stuff because there's green on it now you go put a blue screen up so I got blue eyes I know to you guys you might not be able to tell but when I'm editing and it's a blue screen it takes out the iris of my eye really weird it looks so weird in the iris of my eye bandages so like I'm just at one of those moments I wish I had brown eyes like give me the shit eyes man give me the shit eyes so then I can not worry about that but yeah I like practical sets I have fallen in love basically because I watch a lot of lioness tech videos I have fallen in love with practical sets practical sets are my jam so I think that's also a differentiator in the gaming news opinion space I think a lot of people do one of two things they either green screen their videos or they put their gaming collection and by the way I have some gaming stuff back here I don't like their entire background a gaming collection I don't like that I got a screen that I can change the imagery and videos on I've got Xbox and play you know that no one's ever once complained that I'm a Nintendo YouTuber and yeah prominently I've got playstation and Xbox prominently displayed on a Nintendo channel no crazy that is that nobody's once complained that I have Xbox and playstation prominently displayed in like every video by the way the shit eyes is just a reference to the color again nothing wrong with brown eyes but try the blue screen and let us know why your iris looks so bad it's so bad like if I look off access it doesn't key out but if I key out the blue just right like my iris van it's hilarious I do it way back in the day I have a portable green screen by the way too I sometimes bring it to E3 when I'm doing a live stream at E3 I don't always like the hotel beds being behind me so like I do have a portable green screen and sometimes we use the blue screen side and what I do during that is I put colored contacts in which the thing is I have to work well I don't have to work contacts technically it kind of also gives enough glare that it doesn't get out but then that's glare so that sucks I don't know I'm kind of crazy as a content creator I'm doing things well above my pay grade that's probably why they suck dang it now he's not streaming anymore I don't have any one of my subscription feeds streaming that's alright we'll kind of call that a stream it's almost midnight and I do have to tidy up a little bit it's actually not that bad upstairs but I have to pick up a few things Yulia might have been texting me she hasn't actually texted me in a while I hope she's okay she doesn't ignore me this long Yulia are you watching my stream hey baby are you there hello the gaming collect dude everyone does that gaming collection I did it right Ddub do you remember when I used to have the shelves with the gaming collection I still have those shelves and it still has my gaming collection just in a different room do you remember man I did the gaming collection thing because everyone was doing it it's just so played out man those cards are being given away during the game awards man not tonight the game awards but yeah man gaming collections are completely played out let me flip this on I gotta do a shot can't hold it here super chat coming in from taker 610 thank you so much man by the way that uh super chat got us $99 and 97 cents am I gonna leave it at that or am I gonna donate the dollar to push it to 100 it's an OCD thing $99.97 are you kidding me 3 cents short I think it's because of that $10 Australian conversion because it doesn't convert exactly to like a strict dollar amount $99.97 thank you so much man cheers taker uh ps5s are still going for a thousand plus yeah man I noticed the prices well I knew the prices were gonna go up during the holidays you're gonna take a shot baseman man nice man yeah dude I do shots for every this is a beer shot for the cheap ones obviously I'm not gonna go and I would get hammered if I was doing like real shots for the cheap ones RGC doesn't really even do a game shelf now at his new house it's interesting his setup now it's so casual now which I mean it's fine I think it's good like he was using green screen for a long time too someone donate 3 cents I don't think you can donate 3 cents I think you have to minimum a dollar well 99 cents if you use an apple for life um margarita mixer oh that's what you're having you're having a margarita mixer as a shot that's legit margarita mixer can be tasty you'll do a shot too nice dude we all gotta do a shot we all gotta do a shot what kind of shot do I want to do I'm gonna pay for the shot what do I gotta do you guys tell me what should I do there's beer obviously but then we got vodka that's $20 we got malibu strawberry that's our $10 shot we still have cannon blast that's a $50 shot um technically we haven't busted into the Don Julio yet but I'm gonna feel really bad if I pay $100 to bust into the Don Julio like how lame is that if we crack our Don Julio $100 shot off of my own donation like I feel like this is disqualified off of me doing it like that's just not possible hold on can't forget hold on forget tonight we got the butterscotch these are $25 this is 99 proof $49.5% alcohol these are $25 shots so basically between $25 and $49 dude I can't I can't pay to crack the bottle of Don Julio that the chat told me to buy the chat told me my next bottle should be Don Julio we voted on it Don Julio won I've never had it I can't crack that myself this is $25 obviously we got the cheap stuff and then I told you the price oh you can't do 99 cents anymore only no you can if I grab my iPhone if you do a dollar super chat on your iPhone if you have one it'll do 99 cents I don't have Crown Royale I don't have Crown I've got straight vodka I got one shot of that left that's $20 I got the Strawberry Malibu that's $10 and this is only $50 because it's heavily fermented I probably have half a shot left but it's heavily fermented it's way more than 50% alcohol I'm telling you it's worse than Everclear and I've drank Everclear straight this is $25 this is a butterscotch liquor not even sure what liquor it is but it's 49.5% alcohol and then we got this you lived in Wisconsin 39 years in Wisconsin I started to drink that's why I can drink so much some people just off what I've had tonight would just be under the table and I'm like I don't even feel it I don't know what a humbrae blend is what's a humbrae this is all the alcohol I have I don't have anything else other than this is all I got for booze I think that's just more the butterscotch this is what I got for booze I don't have mix them all one fourth each no no that would be more than $100 cause that's like vomit city that that that hold on what hold on let me see how high the super chats go I don't 500 is a max I won't say that's a $500 super chat that's insane I'm gonna say that's at least a 200 it would have to be at least at least two hundo to do a mix like that if I take the big four which god I guess Malibu would be out on the big four these would be the big four that would be a $200 mix chat that's a $200 mix chat that's insane I don't know if I could just justify two hundo for that just to try a mix of the four big ones of the four big ones as I'm checking my bank hmm you know I might as well take the dog to the vet but you know what's a better idea spend that two hundo on a chat you'll get most of the money back in a month actually right now it would be February 1st you'll get most of the money back or February 3rd we gotta clear the bank first just cause that's when the payment gets sent the next 48 hours to clear what did I receive I had a deposit on this account from what oh I mean in theory the money exists the money does exist I'd have to split it between two payments on two different cards put the monies there the monies there the money is there I could do it it would be it'd be one 70 on one and then 30 on another technically the monies there how about this how about this if it people really want me to do one fourth of each in a shot vet I'll do you one better I have a double shot last so we can do a double shot one fourth I'll find it it's not on the floor I know Eric used it last time and he probably didn't put it back whatever I'll do two shots of it I'll pour it in like a cup here like I'll mix it tell you what I will I will do a hundo if the chat can come together and do the other hundo I will mix it together I'll mix it up I will do a hundo if the chat combined there doesn't have to be one hundo donation if everyone in the chat combined can do the other hundo I will do the I will do the four mix I will do the four mix my hundo covers the cracking of this bottle and then you guys get the red and now again that's my challenge I'm waiting because there's a there's actually a delay I didn't spend any more money on booze so if the chat can come together for the one hundo 10 people with 10 10 people with $10 I will do the other hundo and we'll make this happen I ain't just gonna do some risky shot like that for nothing I gotta make it worth my while over here so I'll wait a moment because there's a chat delay can the chat come to an agreement boundaries do need to be set sometimes if you have a problem and you might not think it's a problem but if your wife thinks it's a problem Julia knows I don't have a problem like literally this vodka was bought for her she ended up not drinking it this is from four years ago um this I mean god I got like five bottles of these for like six bucks crazy how much alcohol is in these little bottles so you know this was expensive but I haven't bought to keep it like my bottles last while this Malibu is still like up to here actually it's down to here it's halfway that's halfway gone holy shit that's the quickest but even then that wasn't that expensive like 20 bucks the basement man did his five dollar ho! hold up game or not it's not a hundo it's everyone in the chat combined can equal to a hundo I will spend the other hundo and we'll do it so the basement man making for the five dollars that's five dollars there so 95 more to go so 95 dollars to go can the chat come up with 95 I will donate the other hundo and we will mix the four big liquors I have into one shot you're not doing good financially dude I hear you man I'm gonna be hurting at the end of this month but then um YouTube money comes in on the first or third for me and that's gonna help replenish some of the money I'm using on giveaways and stuff this month is coming out of my personal funds so I get to pay myself back so uh I get my poison from Costco 10 to 20 Costco is nice we don't have one near us but like sometimes we'll drive like 40 minutes out to go to a Costco a double shot um I'm asking Nathan to be your wife um I'm not married is that like a dowry is that a dowry and you say I'm only worth like $100 is that what it's come down to I'm only worth $100 I mean I think I could be chopped up by a cannibal and you get more than $100 with a meat out of me that's just like my physical body is that considering my mind entertainment value I know you're just obviously joking I hope you're joking hope you're not offering me a dowry to become your wife or you're my wife I think you want to make me the bitch right other than Madison dude yeah Madison dude Madtown is I've partied twice in Madtown it's insane Madtown knows how to party Milwaukee knows how to party too um Minneapolis they got some good clubs but I wouldn't say the people in Minnesota know how to party as well as Wisconsin people you're worth the entire Nintendo Corporation I am engaged I am engaged but I'm not married this really makes people think I'm married but I'm not I'm actually just engaged we are getting married next year I guess unless I get married to you do I have to get the party started I have to get the party started don't I look I'll hold up my end of the bargain I got it I got my there you go there we go it'll hit in a moment I'll hold up my end of the bargain that's 105 especially I don't want to crack the Don Julio off my own donation right now it's just a beer shot and some Don Julio give it a few minutes I'm waiting I've got maybe three minutes I can give you I know I probably just play myself I'm getting ready to crack it because I did the hundo at least buy some merch it's on an automatic the tab ripped off dammit alright alright there's more plastic holy shit there's a lot of plastic on this that's what happens with the tab ripped off man it's really been like 30 seconds is the last chat my bottle has not been cracked yet I'm just ripping the plastic off you just take the reins and make your own decision take the reins and make your own decision you mean donate another hundo actually 95 I always make my own decision man whatever that's the cap that's a cork cap sweet I thought Diego bear you wish you were here huh why you wouldn't get a shot not unless someone else donates 100 might as well crack it it's officially been cracked yes I have poured the bottles like this although it didn't have a real cork it still looks like it hasn't been opened there's so much in here nope I stick to Ddub how long have you been here I stick to my own rules even for myself obviously I can drink whatever I want to drink but if I'm doing that I'm not doing it on a stream I'm like I'm not going to say I never have any of this alcohol off stream that's only when I'm partying with Yulia putting this all away because it's clear we're not going to get the rest so I'm not going to have to mix anything although there's a beer shot owed for the basement man I'll just take a chug right out of the what's nice about these cans I don't have to waste the beer I can just kind of put it back seal has been broken Don Yulia perfect alright ready my first shot ever of Don Julio when I don't like I don't like remember this booze was suggested by you guys well I can say this safely there will be no more $100 donations from myself the rest of this week so all the rest of my streams if we bust out the Don Julio it is not because of me although I might return the $100 overall goal you guys remember we used to do like if we hit our first $100 in super chats like in total I would do a shot of it that used to be something we did I might bring that back just for this week because it's game awards give me as smooth as you want I don't like tequila don't smell it just do it don't smell it don't smell it just drink it you gotta go you gotta pick up the towels upstairs your kids left towels in the hallway there's three towels sitting in the hallway because my kids don't know how to pick up after this one two three oh that did not sit well that did not go down well that was worse than the cocktail it's like sucking the you might be better chilled put it in the fridge wow it's like sucking the saliva out of my mouth so that's smooth huh that's smooth huh that was worse than the cocktail no I'm not gonna puke there was a moment you guys saw it it kind of like went down halfway then I had a gag reflex I told you tequila is like poison for me so it went down to like right here at the Adam's apple and then I had a gag reflex and it came back up into my mouth and I'm like fuck you and I put it back down can I smoke a fat blood no I am probably gonna go have an edible here in a bit but um you see the salt and lines with tequila yeah you'll kill me if she found I did that with salt and I um why must these streams always involve drinking um because I have a stressful life and I need to unwind sometimes I'm actually fine I'll be alright I mean the tequila might hit me here in like 40 minutes usually takes about a half hour 40 minutes then the tequila shot hits me and then it's like whoa you guys are awesome thank you for tuning in I had a good time you guys are amazing um thank you for those who did super chat by the way I can't thank all of you because I don't have notifications for everyone I'll think the ones I can see right now we have Bama Hut with $10 Australian um we had Logan Leblanc re-upping his membership we have Birdman with $199 Logan Leblanc with a dollar Justin Basil with one Justin Basil with two Taker with two um and uh the basement man with five I also gonna give a special shout out I can't say who this is um that $100 didn't actually come from me I'm gonna admit something to you guys the moment that I can't I can't say the name my channel has a private backer um that private backer technically owns five percent of the channel um so basically a five percent of the revenue at the end of the road um in exchange for that five percent you guys ever wonder how can we go to E3 they pay for it they pay for the flights the rental car and the hotel now they don't play like if we have to the gamer pass they don't pay for that ticket I gotta pay for that but they pay for the flights hotel and uh if you wonder why we go to E3 that was like the agreement um they also help buy equipment sometimes now I buy a lot of the equipment because I tax write-offs and you know money and stuff like that but uh if we have a private backer that I'm not I'm not allowed to disclose who it is uh that private backer sent me is watching the stream and sent me the money to donate to my so they technically did the donation there they will not speak up there's no point in figuring out who it is you guys wouldn't know them you've probably never heard of them they've been a private backer now for over two years so if you guys ever wonder like oh my god why is he super chatting to them it's not really it's them but they can't have their name attached so whenever you're like why is he super chatting to himself it's not I was at Miyamoto, can't say this is Sakurai I can't say is it Shintaro for Akawa himself I can't say so people always think it's crazy but it's like there's a method to it but yeah and a lot of it's just he's investing the money he's gotten from the channel because he believes in the growth of the channel he believes in um where the channel is going to go and he believed in me back when we only had like 30,000 subscribers like he's legit he's an amazing person he's invested quite a bit in

What is going on everybody Astos here welcome back some other videos so in this morning's video We're gonna be talking about some good news that we got regarding the trade war We're gonna quickly be talking about two stocks or ETFs rather that I'm looking to day trade today And we're also gonna take a look at Donald Trump's Twitter, which is where he announced the news Regarding the trade war so for all you guys out there that don't already know I'm assuming a bunch of you guys already know this by now the trade war Deadline has been pushed back so for all you guys that didn't know Originally March 1st was the deadline that Trump and the president of China pretty much the US and China had to come to an agreement Regarding the trade war and if they didn't come to an agreement Trump was going to bump tariffs from 10% up to 25% and if you guys remember a couple of weeks ago We actually got news from Trump saying that he was willing to extend that deadline if there were serious serious Chances that they were going to come to a trade war agreement and well guys We got a Twitter update about 15 hours ago saying I am pleased to report that the US has made Substantial progress in our trade talks with China on important structural issues including in textual intellectual property Protection technology transfer agriculture Services currency and many other issues as a result of these very productive talks I will be delaying the US increase in tariffs now scheduled for March 1st Assuming both sides make additional progress We will be planning a summit for President Xi and myself at Mar-a-Lago to conclude an Agreement a very good weekend for us in China. So pretty much guys He said a couple of weeks ago that he was going to delay these tariffs if there are serious serious chances of them coming to a trade war agreement and the fact that he literally just Delayed the tariffs. This is some good signs that they're actually going to come to an agreement within the next couple of weeks and of course guys This is pumping a ton of optimism Into the stock market right now. We can see the futures for the Nasdaq. They're up about point eight five percent Some of the Chinese stocks that I actually follow very closely and that I'm invested in myself including Ali Baba They're up amazingly right now. This one's up about two three percent We can see the big spike overnight the big gap up here This one's up around two three percent another one that's doing very well is JD calm This one was up from around 2590 up to around $27.50 in the matter of pretty much a weekend right up five percent there And another one doing very well is IQ. This is another one that popped up from $27 all the way up to around $30 and I do believe I read an article about 20 30 minutes ago saying that China They had the best day in the stock market in over I believe Three years guys So just think about the amount of optimism that this and you know this news that we're getting and potentially coming to a Trade war is going to do for a the Chinese markets and the US stock market in General but don't forget guys just because China and US just because they're probably going to come to a trade war agreement This does not mean the stock market is going to surge for years on to come the economy The global economy is still slowing down and just because we're nearing a trade war agreement It's not going to change that the economy is still slowing down, right? So keep that in mind this could push the stock market up here in the short term But you know longer term if we're looking about a year or two out there could still potentially be you know a Big downside in the market. Let's say if the global economy does end up crashing Doing very poorly and starting to decline even heavier than it already has so pretty much today guys with this optimism I'm looking at possibly trading some Chinese companies here at the market open in a couple in about 20 30 minutes And I'm also looking at potential large cap plays in the US stock market as well We were talking about square yesterday squares up a pretty good amount here And if we do hold this this resistance as a new support that I was talking about in yesterday's video We could potentially fill the gap from about 78 dollars up to about 81 dollars So I'm watching square very very closely another one that finally broke out was natural gas guys Remember I was talking about this and it played out perfectly to how I wanted for it to play out In order for me to trade in for those you guys that were Remembering and watching these videos that I've been uploading over the past couple of days I made a video talking about natural gas on a technical basis a couple of days ago If you guys remember in that video I was talking about how if we break this to 70 ish Resistance and hold it as a new support. We could potentially fill the gap back up to 290 Which is looking like is happening right now, right? We're not filling the gap quite yet But we're in the baby stages the beginning stages of holding this resistance as a new support right around 275 and now we want to see the break up pretty heavily up to around 280 285 290 and that's obviously going to open up a huge margin on You guys which is what I'm personally looking to trade and actually got a notification. Wow GE is up 14% right now. Let's take a look at that one very quickly just for fun GE Holy smokes guys. This one's up 1015 up to 12 dollars. What happened here with GE? Let's see some live news if I can get something. Oh GE to sell biopharma. That's right I read that a couple of hours ago actually GE to sell biopharma business to Donna her for $21 billion. This could be you know, what's pushing up here? Let me know down below in the comment section if you're GE investor, let me know what you guys think about this I'm personal and not a GE investor But let's not get sidetracked here another ETF that I want to trade today is based off of crude oil And we see the big pullback today and crude oil guys down about 2% down about a dollar and 12 cents from around 5780 down to about 5590 and why I like this one based on the 184 hour chart here It seems like we're holding this 50 SMA as a support on this big pullback So if we successfully push up here hold this old resistance as a new support as well as holding the 50 SMA This one could be a nice bounce back play up the previous resistances at around 5750 5760 And of course we can continue the uptrend meaning we could potentially push and so the $58 range in terms of crude oil And what is that going to do? Well, that's going to open up a nice margin of profit here on UWT so for those of you guys that recall I was actually talking about UWT in yesterday's video And I wanted to see a pullback in this one and that's exactly what we're seeing right now So this is definitely on my radar for today for a bounce back potential day trade right here And we can already see the green candlestick forming on the 50 SMA very good sign that we're pushing back up So today guys, I'm watching UWT. I'm watching you guys very closely And of course all these Chinese stocks that really did very well Due to this optimism with China and the US coming potentially to an agreement So let me know down below in the comment section. What do you guys think about this? I would love to know good luck today on trading guys. Hopefully hopefully all you guys do very well I'll be in the discord chat Hit me up there. I'll see you guys soon


I wish I took this TEFL course earlier in my career. There are many different reasons and obvious advantages of taking the TEFL course. One of the main advantages is the fact that it is a form of validation or certification of your credentials, as a qualified language teacher. This thus makes job interview processes more convenient and increases your chances of employment in the top job markets around the world. With a wider range of options to choose from, this can only make your dreams or aspirations to teach in your potential country of choice, much simpler. Being a native speaker doesn't mean being a great teacher. On a personal level though, besides the aforementioned rationale, the decision to enroll in this course would be for one other specific reason. Being a native English speaker, I was always of the assumption that I greatly understood the language due to my ability to fluently and effortlessly speak it. Therefore, I always believed that I would be able to teach this language to prospective students. However, no sooner had I begun to teach students of different age groups, that I realized how lacking I was in the department of actual knowledge of the language. Ironically enough, it was a non-native English speaker who made this realization even more clear, with her seemingly vast knowledge and ability to actually teach the language, by explaining how and why certain aspects of English such as a language structure, are the way they are. It was later explained to me that, this ability was due to the fact that she studied English as a foreign language and was thus aware of the technical aspects of the language. Learning to answer students' tricky questions Always served as a sort of reality check as to where exactly I stood as a potential language teacher. A clear distinction was made manifest between a regular native English speaker, and an actual qualified English teacher. My struggles to answer seemingly straightforward questions from my students, established the need for me to put my then part-time job of teaching English to a halt, as I didn't want to be of any disservice to them with my apparent ineptness. The decision was made to enroll in the TEFL course, and equip myself with the fundamentals of the English language, in order to prepare and qualify for my future aspirations, which were to teach English in a foreign country. Building up confidence After reviewing and researching extensively into this course and what it provides, I sincerely see the need to enroll in it. All the positive feedback from previous enrollees, stating the advantages and importance of this course, and how their knowledge of the language was drastically enhanced, no further motivation or assurance is needed to apply for the course. Much to my pleasant surprise, is the additional information and ideas that are provided within this course. Initially, I had the idea that the course's sole purpose was to enhance one's knowledge in the language yet, much more than this is available. Not only does it make one more confident in his, her ability to teach the technical aspects of English, but it provides a clearer image of the multi-dimensional aspects that are entailed in the world of teaching. With the ideas and sample blueprints provided in this course to help you tackle any obstacles you may face in this career path, not only do you improve your knowledge of the language, but it does help you grow more into the role or mold, of being a well-rounded teacher. Moreover, a clear perspective and vision of what is required of an individual to excel in this career path are achieved. Do you want to become more confident in your teaching? Enrolling in the TEFL course is definitely one of the most important and fruitful decisions and experiences one can make, as it contributes greatly to bridging the gap between the desire to teach, and the ability to actually do so. I would recommend this course to any and all individuals interested in pursuing a career in teaching English.

You're watching News Made Easy and I'm Anandya Chakravarty. Today I'm going to talk about something that all of us had kind of pushed at the back of our mind. Because we were so worried about surviving the second wave, that we didn't really think about the other part which is required for living, which is our livelihood, our incomes. And for people who are watching this video, many of you are probably salaried. Some of you have small businesses, some of you are self-employed. Some of you have bigger businesses and some of you work in big corporate houses. And all of you know that the situation is not good, right? There are lockdowns in various parts of the country and this is likely to continue for 2-3 months. The only answer India had was universal vaccination and that's not likely to happen before March, April next year. So we have almost another fiscal, at least one entire calendar year which is 2021, when the economy is going to face certain setbacks. Now, is this going to be a technical recession and what do I mean by technical recession? You know that a technical recession is when you have two quarters of negative growth between that the economy contracts. It might not be that, but still when it comes to your income, my income, it might be a mega recession, we might see a contraction of our income. Why am I saying this? Think about it, when there's a lockdown, we know what happens. Shops are shut, people don't buy things. Restaurants are shut, various dealerships are shut, cars don't sell, right? So what happens? People who are employed by these companies sooner or later, they have to take pay cuts. Sometimes they lose their jobs. We know that several companies again announced pay cuts, right? After this lockdown that has hit some of our metros right now. Because of that, even those who don't get pay cuts are not likely to get increments. And what happens when you don't get an increment? When you don't get an increment but prices rise, your real income falls. So if you've been earning let's say 1 lakh rupees per month in 2020 and you were spending 80,000 rupees. If there is a 10% rise in prices of the things that you bought, then what will happen? The cost, you'll be spending 88,000 rupees. But if you don't get an increment, your income stays at 1 lakh. That means that your savings go down by that much, right? So effectively your real income drops. And I'm talking about people who are relatively better off. That will be 0.5% of our population by the way. Now, again, those who are self-employed, if there's a lockdown, what will happen? If there's a fear, not just lockdown, fear. Things which are essentially services which depend on people coming and coming to the stores, coming to the restaurant, coming to a dealership, coming to a shop, those are going to be affected. And trade, hotels, restaurants, retail, wholesale, these drive a huge part of our economy, drive a lot of jobs in our economy. All of these people will be affected. It's very clear. What does that mean? When you don't have money in your hands, what do you do? You start reducing your consumption. There's certain things you cannot cut down on that you have to buy. And there are certain things which are discretionary, which you don't really need to buy. You can postpone. So that kind of consumption is going to go down even further, right? What does that mean? Companies won't be able to sell. And if they're not able to sell, their sales will go down. And when their sales go down, the only way they can retain their profit is what? One, they cut the salaries and wages, they cut their wage bill. The other is that they cut down on their other costs. Last year, there was a global slowdown. Remember that the slowdown and recession was global. What that meant is that raw materials were not being bought by companies, right? That is the case. Crude oil was not being used. Petroleum diesel was not being consumed.  Anything that goes into making things, right? Plastics, everything, the demand fell. And because the demand fell, what happened? The total sales fell, but the cost of raw materials fell as well. Globally, cost of raw materials fell. What that allowed India's corporates to do, mind you, is to have higher than normal profits. Their profits grew because the wages were stagnant, right? But their costs in terms of raw materials fell. So even though their top line or their revenues dropped, they were able to make profits because their costs reduced at a faster rate. This year, the rest of the world is actually back on track. And they're going to make up for the lost consumption of 2020, right? So we know that we saw visuals of people dancing on the streets of Spain because Spain has lifted many restrictions. We know restrictions have been removed in Israel. We know in parts of the US, you no longer need to wear a mask. We know in UK, restrictions are being lifted. Many parts of Europe are gradually lifting restrictions. So what does that mean? Consumption is coming back there. Employment is coming back there. They are going to consume all these raw materials. And when they start consuming these raw materials, what is going to happen? The prices of those raw materials are going to increase. So here's the problem for Indian manufacturers and any Indian business which depends on any kind of raw material, whether it is electricity or petrol, as small as that, their costs are going to go up. But they mostly sell to India, right? Those who export will be in a good position. But those who mostly sell to the domestic market, they're going to face lockdowns. They're going to face reduced income for people. They're going to face a further contraction of demand in the economy. And what does that mean? They'll have to cut prices. So even if the raw material costs go up, they'll have to reduce prices. And what does that mean? This year, things will go reverse. Their profits will shrink. When they're profit shrink, two things will happen. One, they'll not be able to pay the salaries that they pay you. They'll have to cut that, right? They'll not be able to give you a bonus. If you're dependent on a bonus, they'll not be able to do that. Secondly, when their profits shrink, the stock markets will also react. Yes, money might flow into the Indian markets because there's a lot of money that will flow around in the rest of the world. But despite that, if incomes drop, if corporate incomes drop, if the profits of listed companies drop, the stock markets will either be stagnant or start going down. And once that happens, everyone who's invested in the markets or puts money in the mutual funds and has actually seen a very nice rise in their savings in the last one year because of the stock market boom in India, they're going to face a year when even that income drops, right? We know that the banks have cut down on interest rates. Interest rates are going to be low. So if you have your money in the bank, you're not going to get great returns. Returns of the stock markets might not be as high. It might even be lower this year compared to 2020. And you'll face a problem with your salary.  So this is going to be quite likely a mega recession year for most people in India, even if the economy shows some growth, right? In terms of our income for large sections of the economy, people will face a contraction in their income. Their incomes will go down. And the only answer to that is if the government spends more. If the government spends more, puts money in people's hands, gives contracts to corporates and says, here, this is a thing you have to go and build this. This is what you have to make. Make this. Let the government build up inventories. Let it spend.  That is the only way this economy can revive. And that will mean more government borrowing, more fiscal deficit, even printing money, right? This is something that India has to accept. You've all been told that this is all very bad, fiscal deficit, printing money, this is all very bad. But now even big corporates are admitting this is the only way out. And hopefully the government will hear this and will be saved from not only this terrible second wave and a possible third wave that is being talked about, but also a second and third wave of dropping incomes.


The computers in our lab have a look at the back of them and see how many LAN ports there are. Everyone have a look at the back of their computer now. How many LAN ports? So identify the LAN ports. You should see there's a cable plugged into one of them, a yellow cable, and there's two that have nothing plugged into them. These computers have three LAN ports, three wired LAN ports. One is on the motherboard. The yellow cable is plugged into the LAN port on the motherboard that comes with the motherboard, and we've bought two extra PCI cards plugged into the PCI slots for extra LAN connections. So we'll use three of them over the next few labs, not today. By default, we'll use that one on the motherboard, and we'll use the other two for some special purposes later. So these computers have three wired LAN ports. Any other network interfaces? Wireless. We've got a USB wireless adapter here. So in fact, we have four network interfaces, three wired interfaces, and one wireless interface. And there are no others on these computers. Where does the yellow cable go to? There's a yellow cable plugged into one of the network interfaces. Where does it go to? Can you see that? In this lab, we can do things to find answers. You won't break anything. If I say, where does it go to, have a look at the cable and see where it goes to. It goes to the floor, doesn't it? And then where does it go? You see, it plugs into this special adapter in the floor, and you notice, I think, that the floorboards here are raised. They're about 20 centimetres above the actual floor. So we have a raised floor here, and there's cables underneath to make the layout a little bit nicer. So they go into a socket on the floor, and then a special extender cable that goes under the floor and into these four cabinets in the corner. You can maybe open the door in the back cabinet and open this door, and you'll see in, if you open that one, they'll see, they'll see, and you can look at any time, the four groups of nine computers go into one of the four cabinets. So these nine computers, the cables from the floor all come into the cabinet here. The nine green computers go into the cabinet there, and you see in the yellow one in the back, you see all the cables plugged in there. Look in those cabinets, if you can see, it's not easy. How many devices in there? You should see there are four devices in a rack there. The cables are plugged into just one of them. I think the bottom one, that's a switch. So that's a network switch. The cables from the computers plug into that switch, and then that switch has another cable that goes upstairs to a fifth switch. All four of these switches plug into that fifth switch upstairs. Then that one connects out to our router for SIT, and then out to Runxit, and then out to the rest of the world. So that's the topology of the network. This picture's a little bit older. It only has three devices in the cabinet, but our computer has a cable, not two, just one at the moment going into the floor, under the floorboards that runs into these cabinets. In the cabinets, you'll see we're using one switch, that's all we're using at the moment, but there are three other devices there, and the top two are routers, special-purpose routers, and the third one is an old switch. So the one we're using is the newer switch of those. So the top two are routers. So if we wanted to connect and build up an internet, we would use those top two devices. In this course, we would not use those other three devices. Because it's hard to get access, it's hard for students to walk up and plug cables in, so we will use our own computers as routers in later tasks. So that's just the physical topology of our network. We have nine computers connected into a switch, and those four switches connected into another switch. We're all on the same LAN, all on the same subnet, and in fact the MAC lab upstairs is also on the same subnet.  So we want to learn some commands that show us more information about our network setup. So we said how many wired interfaces? We said we have three wired interfaces and one wireless interface. What's a command that shows us the configuration of our interfaces? Try. Try the command that I've used and shown you many times. How to see the config of your interface? Short for interface is IF. IF config. Show you the configuration of your interfaces. And for me, I'll just pipe mine through less so that we can scroll through. You don't need to. This shows you from the operating system perspective what interfaces this computer has. And you note some names there. ETH0, ETH1, ETH2. ETH short for Ethernet. The common name for wired interfaces. So there's three interfaces for the wireless card, the wired card, sorry. LO, what's LO? Local or loopback. This is a special interface for testing when you want to send to yourself. So this is not a hardware interface. This is a special one set up by the operating system. If you want to send something to yourself without sending out on a cable or a wireless link, you can send to the LO interface called the local loopback interface. And you may recognize the IP address there. This special case address 127001. So that's a special case interface. Where's the wireless interface? Can everyone see theirs? No. You can only see your three wired interfaces. IF config doesn't show interfaces which are turned off. If you want to show all interfaces, use IF config minus A. Show them all. And you should see WLAN there, wireless LAN interface zero. You can plug in multiple wireless LAN adapters and you'll get... Usually the operating system we've set it up so it labels them zero, one, two and so on. And the way that we've set up these computers is assuming everything's correct, EDH0 is always the network interface on the motherboard. This is a useful one to remember. EDH0 is on the motherboard. EDH1 is the top PCI slot. EDH2 is the bottom PCI slot. Zero, one, two, physically. Because later when we plug cables in we'll need to know which one we're using. So the operating system gives them names. If we want to look at just the config of one of them we can specify IF config EDH0. Another tool is... So this shows the operating system's perspective of this interface. We can also get a bit of information about the hardware. So it's actually a piece of hardware on your computer and one tool that gives us something about the Ethernet hardware is EDH2. Followed by an interface it tells us some information about that hardware associated with EDH0. And I'll pipe it through less because I know it has a lot of output. So that's some information about the hardware device. IF config is about the software configuration. Have a look through that information. Try these two tasks. See if you can find some of the information I list there. So just from those two commands they give some information, just browse through. You don't need to understand everything, especially from EDH2 but some of the things you'll quickly recognize. And especially look at the output of IF config and see if you can complete these two tasks. Find the information, then put a file on my computer named by your computer number. Bonus for the first person to do it in a short time.


Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the Everton News Daily. Frank Lampard fears that he will be losing Andrews Townsend for a long time with a very serious knee injury. Townsend obviously lasted 17 minutes in the game against Crystal Palace, which was a massive turn and pointing the game really. You'll have a scan on his knee and Everton will find out probably next 24 hours the damage that fall has caused. Obviously he fell on the one leg on one of his legs and you could see his leg just buckled straight away. He put ice on his knee straight away, which looked like the knee had took the impact of it, but it didn't look good and he could see the player on the sidelines for a good while. It will probably mean this season is almost definitely over and obviously as we've seen with these things before it could be next year maybe till we've seen with him. But we won't know that till we get the results of the scan, which as I said will be due in the next 24 hours. Obviously Frank Lampard questioned the players after the game and the lack of bollocks as he said. And the fact that they can't recover from going a goal down and from a little bit of an adversity and obviously the last two away games we've lost 5-0 and 4-0 now. But obviously we beat Newcastle at home 1-0, so something all of us I think as fans have questioned. We've questioned these players all season, we've questioned the fact that if you look at all the away games recently, the last four away games, Frank Lampard haven't started the games quite well. He took the lead at Newcastle, got B-3-1. Had a great start at Southampton, should have had a penalty, got B-2-0. Spears started the game well, get B-5-0. Started the game well yesterday, get B-4-0. That haven't been sent out with solid tactics and then for some reason we either fall apart ourselves or we lose a goal and we fall apart. And I think you know the managers obviously questioned the character of the players and over the next couple of weeks I don't know how he turns that round but I don't know whether you can turn that round but we've got two big away games coming up. And obviously the one against Bayleys absolutely huge and if Evan can't muster something even if it's just a little bit of self-respect then we are going to be in a very bad situation because we are going to be pinning all our hopes on those home games. Which isn't a great position to be in because we saw the Wolves game. It only took one goal in that game going behind and Man City game and all that was a bit of a different game but again one goal. That's all it takes. So I don't know what the answer is but Frank Lampard hopefully can find some kind of solution. We'll have to wait and see. Moise Keane may be set for a move from Juventus to PSG in the summer. This is a bit of a stain on because obviously we are loaning him to Juventus for two seasons. They would have to pay us 30 million euros and then sell him on to PSG. I'm sure they're trying to find every way out of this deal but the deal I think is cast iron and Evan will receive a payment. So whatever happens after that will be between Juventus and any other club. It looks like PSG this time but Evan will have to be paid. Interesting dilemma the player finds himself in. He was very happy at PSG but obviously they weren't prepared to pay the money. It looks like maybe if Potatine will leave them, which I'm sure he will do, that Moise Keane might get that move to France to play for PSG. We'll have to wait and see but it looks like Evan will get that money. Evan invasors Manchester United the next home game is a sell out. Our fans again showing incredible support and patience. In other news Jean-Philippe Gabamon got a man of the match for his performance for CSKA against Ruben Kazam, scored the goal and had an assist as well in the game. So he's doing well even though it's in Russia which is very strange that he's still allowed to play in Russia but there you go. I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow the extent of Andres Tansen's injury and we'll let you know tomorrow on the Everton News Daily. Make sure to give this video a like, subscribe if you haven't already.
