What's up everybody Jason here for jazby's case breaks calm last break of the night 21 22 hip rate goat all-time greats multi-sport edition series One just sold out. This is a hobby six box case break random players number two and again guys Everybody gets a random player from the list below 31 total spots 31 players very very high risk guys But a very high reward from Jordan all the way down to Usain Bolt Here's the dice rollers because we're nasal from gale down to Nick got those straight up And then Stephen Kendrick from mosaic sell a pack 104 and 103 to Cody right there, and there's the customer names Let's dice roll it boom Four and a six ten times. Good luck one two three four five six seven eight nine Ten Jeremy poured at the top down to Tom ten times one two three four five six seven eight nine Ten Cristiano Ronaldo down to Jim Brown And again guys also Nick just copied this list that the hip rate sends him But for some reason it didn't include Rafa on the sorry Roger Federer which in the first case we did hit him So we possibly hit him again. We're just gonna randomize them We just didn't want to change up the price point and add an extra spot. So just let FY that's probably the only player That's missing though So just be fair enough to just keep it the way we did as the first one So Jeremy has Christiana Ronaldo Alexander's with Floyd Mayweather next over with Michael Jordan Brian Hemi with Rafael Nadal next over with Bill Russell Gail with Muhammad Ali Josh with Sydney Crosby Cody with Mike Tyson Joshua Lemieux Marlon you that is Matt L with pale Eric with Mickey Mannell Shawn with Patrick Mahomes Alexander the Babe Ruth next over with Lewis Hamilton Jeremy Port with LeBron James Jeff Henry Tiger Woods Alexander's with Michael Phelps and Lionel Messi James Connell with Usain Bolt's Gail with Serena Williams Michael Golder with Mike Trout next over with Wayne Gretzky Jack with Joe Montaignea Matt L with Diego Mardona Jeff with Stephen Curry Josh Alex Oveskin Josh Smith with Kobe Bryant Stephen Kendrick with Tom Brady Gail with Hank Aaron Dan with Novak Djokovic and Tom with Jim Brown So while I leave you guys here to trade I'm gonna quickly go grab the case And like I said, if there's no trades by the time I get back We'll start to break All right, so we're gonna close them. All right guys. Good luck everybody all-time greats six four out of six So I can say they probably make six cases for 36 boxes out of the 15 and then the remaining 14 They probably sell as loose boxes of course So we're happy to To get at least two of them I'm sure windows already closed Josh. Did you get Usain Bolt in the first time too, Jimmy? Damn. Well, if Usain Bolt pops out well then Don't have to worry about it. Alrighty first one guys. Good luck. It is a 2000 ultra Tom Brady rookie PSA 8 but still a very nice Tom Brady So Tom Brady, which would be going to Stephen Kendrick who got that in a mosaic cello pack Brady is off first Alino Messi from 2018-19 tops chrome. That is a UEFA Champions League refractor 9-5 And it's a gem plus as well Messy poppy. There you go. Alexandra's 17 out of 50 Wow Alexander Ovechkin 7 out of 25 Scripted swatches from the Cup Hockey 2007-2008 this is like a year or two after his roots like a second year 30 Ovi Alexander Ovechkin going to Josh 46 out of 50 Oh, it's actually had one of these Wow Michael Jordan two out of 23 That must be the Tar Heel Wow Your boy Nick Stover Last spot mojo Michael Jordan go to Nick Stover That is wild. We actually hit a Michael Jordan by the letter SPA Patrick Mahomes 2018 select tri-color prism PSA 10 50 out of 199 that is a second-year Mahomes probably a pretty nice one too as well Patrick Mahomes that is going to Sean Maddock great players back to back last box 35 out of 50 Good luck guys We don't have any more of these, but I'm pretty sure if they create more series We'll definitely grab a couple cases again So far we've hit two out of the three in the on the box label Brady Actually, we've hit all three actually Brady Gretzky and no Jordan and it's a Joe mountainia Joe Montana 1981 tops rookie that is a PSA 8 which actually a PSA 8 is probably not bad at all PSA 10s are ridiculously priced now. So PSA 8 is probably actually really good Joe Montana Jack there you go Jack and there you go everybody Joe Montana Patrick Mahomes that Michael Jordan of course a monster Ovi one of the goats as well Lionel Messi and Tom Brady. So there you go everybody That was the break. This was goat edition number two Jasper's case breaks calm. Appreciate it guys You


My name is Eddie Jolly, Conservation Agronomist and Grazing Specialist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service in Auburn, Alabama. Today we have the opportunity to share and demonstrate to everyone the benefits of good soil health on their agricultural lands. We'll be using a rainfall simulator to do that. The nice thing about a rainfall simulator is it actually gives us visual depiction of what is actually happening to our soils as a result of the various managements that we use on our soils. Sometimes the managements that we use are not very good, some are good, and so the benefits are shown through the rainfall simulator. Today we have a forestry site, we also have a good conservation tillage site, we have a tilled site that represents continuous tillage situations, we have some grazing management that's poor, and we also have grazing management that's good. In the rainfall simulator we're hoping to show and do show quite often that with poor management we have a lot of runoff from our rainfall. With good management we're able to reduce that runoff and actually have more water infiltrate into the soils, providing reasonable benefits and help us to reduce the effects of short-term drought. You'll notice the water that's on the front of the rainfall simulator. The jugs that have more water represent more runoff. Those are our poor management systems. The jugs that are dirtier represent more soil erosion that is taking place because of the lack of cover and because of the runoff. With erosion and with a runoff we can actually lose nutrients, we lose productivity of our soils, we can actually carry pesticides and nutrients off site and get into our waters and streams. So it's important to actually capture that water as much as we can. The grazing sites or samples that represent poor management or good management in this case are the very same kind of systems that we talk about in our crop man sites. Good management promotes actively growing roots, promotes high organic matter in our soils and those are things that are important, like maintaining good soil health. So with the samples today and the demonstration today we can see the benefits of having good soil health in our agricultural fields and it makes a difference when we implement the right kinds of practices on maintaining soil health and good conservation.


So lucky what we have here people the luaness effigy the latest exotic to the game today I'm taking it into PVP See what this thing is like.   I think on flinching auto rifle aim works And I also have a scavenger don't work But I think next day what he does and then we just got a lot of other rubbish But I'm using another classic weapon the origin story. I even had this thing and I'm also using this thing The ruinous effigy. So let's see how this goes people.  I'm not gonna lie to you guys never use them You only want to like to us when you're super overpowered and it was like that laser tag thing What was that called again? Can't remember wasn't a way split. I know that's op on ps4 before you even go over to Xbox What were they called now? Was it the cold heart and the other one for me if yes, I remember that That was crazy now, not this is gonna be nothing like that.  This ain't a PvP weapon. We all know that I know It's gonna be so many comments people saying Why use it in PvP people do PJ you and you use PvP where it's PvP weapon Don't need to reach that far. Oh it does. It does for this week. I'm just gonna run straight. I don't care.  Oh, yeah, I'm just gonna have to go in this hunter It's the only way I'm gonna have to do it Why did I say that which one goes in business this one? Yeah? Wanna go on. Why do they even say that?  Come on. Yeah, the enemy down don't see captured. What just happened then I Dropped the ball So if I pick the bottle And I go invisible I drop it. Is that what happened?  Yeah, they're good with it. Oh, you're terrible Because when I use that thing I kind of a gate marker People don't miss me with that thing pure headshots Don't know which way to lock This is the worst. Oh go invisible. Are you dropped the ball when you're going visible? That's wank So can I have to go invisible before I pick up the ball? Oh my days This game's gonna be over before I've even realized what I gotta do Three minutes left Scumbag like me Wow And fight again. I got a kill. I got a kill of it. I slam some of it come second on my team This is what I'm saying Don't make no difference connection based skill based I Still get the worst teammates It must just be people then again people on the other team are always good It's just because I'm bad. Oh people Red Bull sponsor me. I just as we fly into this next game and I call my beard If there's a weapon you guys want to see me using people because I haven't played Well, I've played PvP quite a bit. I played all through iron banner, but I only used the genetic weapons I normally use a knowing hunger, which isn't even the best role and my revoker So is there any other weapon you guys want to hear see me using PvP whatever is let me know Let me know whatever you think may be entertaining. Just let me know Let me know people. I hear the sushi regime the classic It's a beast to be honest. I've been on receiving under that and it just Moucher Moucher, but haven't used it Let's haven't used it because it's a primary takes off my revoker. I Also got a decent forward path. We're gonna test that as well take down. I gotta get a Good role known. I've got like so many of these on rule saved Well, my postmaster's full as well back to delete stuff here to delete the legend as that my postmaster We'll get them at my postmaster But yeah, I might do may do a video far me for a knowing hunger because I just want stability And I actually I prefer grand page on it. I might actually have the one I've got on me Yeah, I got here show you quickly before going to the game. It's the best one. I've got I love this thing. I Love it. Could I kill as I got in PvP got like three games? Nice with me. Okay, everybody up. Yeah, this is the best one. I got It's got that on it. I just love rampage. I love rampage. Oh, I just want one pure stability on rampage Don't want kill clip. Don't want more kill clip if you can drop with that. Don't want that Don't want that people people are going dad.  No, oh true. I was like this though.   I was gonna steal that I should take it back. It's weak It's actually weak Circles confused I ain't seen anybody use that in PvP.  That's what you gotta do slam it on their head. Come on. Come on. Yeah What man? Yeah The other one's gone. I actually like it. It's a funny weapon to use. That's what it's all about I'm saying people that is what it's all about.  I got you back boy. I got assist. I've got five people. I'm all left. I'm dead I'm gonna stop it Zone A lost power planes. Enemy has your soul. They've taken the lead You can turn this time It's got like that. Almost got it. I'm talking my team Capture you have advantage zone B lost Accurate though. That's what I'm saying people if you're accurate with this It's amazing, isn't it? What are we doing for you? Mr. Blade Dancer Slam that on his head Primal is that's what I'm gonna do. Someone else is using it.  He killed me. I'm out of me so quick then It's remaining sounds incredible. That's the best thing about this thing. It sounds incredible Well, this will be actually I can see it being a decent weapon in PvE I don't think it's going to be as good as a tractor cannon. Just supposedly like What's a debuff on enemies?  Primal. That's what it needs to do. It needs to chain Comes through us all No people I've had enough already. I've had enough of this. I've had enough of this Wow ruinous effigy I mean I'm coming positive with it, but I'm just having fun. That's the only reason that's happening.   It's a PvE weapon 100% it's a PvE weapon And this catalyst is going to actually you know what in PvP That isn't too Because I think in PvE, I think it's 5000 kills. That's what I saw on reddit. We know what reddit's like but All you have to run around shooting 50 eyes or something Uh, but yeah, if you don't know how you get the catalyst you get it by well, I went to mars Don't know if you can do any other planet, but I went to mars I killed an enemy with this they dropped that purple orb You saw me picking up and I killed another enemy with that purple orb and he dropped the catalyst That was that but yeah Ain't the worst weapon I've used But it's nowhere near the best and it's just not So that's what it does. I didn't even look at that I knew his light attack was a melee because I was the other game on was it banniful at the end when I Slapped that one dude up and dunked the other dude. Let's behave it. Yeah, that makes sense You can guard and drain nearby combat. That's pretty cool That's pretty cool No, we're having one more we're having one more I want to do that. I want to see what that does I want to guard I want to garden drain Wait, I think it's put me into the middle of a game because because Oh my days This is what this does to me Zone a capture you have advantage zone c lost those zones back zone b advantage is yours. It kills you at the same time Videos done people videos done. Hope you enjoyed it


Hello and welcome to Monet Café. Subscribers, visitors, newcomers, friends, I'm artist Susan Jenkins. Ever want to get more impressionistic with your work? Well today's lesson is for you. Oh, and if you haven't subscribed, please do so. I would love that. Now let's get started. Achieving a loose and impressionistic style is probably one of the most popular goals for many artists who visit Monet Café, and today I'm going to share with you how you can do just that. Probably one of my most favorite mixed media combinations with soft pastel is watercolor, and it works so beautifully using this pastel matte surface. Now you can buy them in different shades or tones in pads, but I like to use the white when I'm doing a watercolor underpainting. The pastels I'll be using will be primarily this Paris collection by Sennelier. I love the soft, buttery application of Sennelier pastels, and while you can use any pastels that you have, I wanted to let you know that DecodaPastels.com has a special on this Paris collection set, which includes a pad of Sennelier La Carte pastel card, which is such a beautiful combination with the Sennelier pastels. And this little beat up looking set of 36 watercolors is a set I love to use by Arteza. It's 36 wonderful colors at an affordable price. And by the way, I have an Amazon shop for the Monet Café channel, which has many of the products I use in these videos. There's always a clickable link to that shop in the about section of this video. Here is my set up. I'm actually not in my home studio, but we are caring now for my mother-in-law who's been diagnosed with terminal cancer in Tupelo, Mississippi, and it's cold here, but this is proof you can paint on the go.  I'm going to talk a little bit through the sketching process here. I wanted to let you know that the reference photo, these lovely pink roses, is actually a photo from a friend of mine from high school. And boy, that's been many years ago, but I want to talk a little bit about this surface, the pastel matte, the white surface as a watercolor surface. I was so pleasantly surprised the first time I tried to apply watercolor on pastel matte, and it really applies very much like watercolor paper, and I think I might even prefer it to watercolor paper, but the neat thing about the surface is it's already prepared for soft pastel application, whereas if you've seen me create my own watercolor, I'll talk about these colors in a minute, where you've seen me before use watercolor paper, I create a watercolor underpainting, and then I have to apply something to give the paper some grit if I'm going to apply soft pastels, such as the clear gesso that I've used in the past, but in this case, it's everything already to go. The pastel matte paper receives the watercolor and it's already ready to receive the soft pastels. All right, what I'm doing here is mixing up a combination of colors, and the goal here, like I said at the beginning, is that impressionistic feel, and when you do a watercolor underpainting, it really lends itself to that, once you learn some of the watercolor techniques for keeping that loose and very painterly beginning. You may have seen me mixing up a combination of some pinks and some reds. I know there probably would be a tendency just to look at the flowers and go, well, they're pink or they're peach, and just work with one color family, but actually it's going to be much more interesting, and there are different subtle hue changes within the roses themselves, based on whether they're in the shadow, whether they're in the sunlight, and most typically with roses. I haven't painted a ton of roses, but I'm always just so amazed at beautiful rose paintings, and I'm really drawn, no pun intended, to painting them, and I've been analyzing them, and I'm trying to come up with better rose paintings myself, but I've noticed that the centers of the roses are typically the darkest in value, so you're going to have your deepest colors within the centers, and then there are also some shadows from how the petals bloom outwards. There are going to be some shadowy, cooler colors such as purples, lavenders, even blue hues at times. Now, I'm grabbing a little bit more neutral peaches right now, and I'm going to let you guys watch me now as I paint on the Monet Café channel. I'm actually going to make a separate video for my patrons with an exclusive section for just the watercolor portion, and I know a lot of you and my patrons have been very interested in watercolor painting. I don't consider myself a watercolor painting expert, but I sure have loved it, and I feel I'm getting better, and I also, once again, love how it lends itself towards impressionism, when you can learn to paint outside of the line, so to speak, and not be so tight with your watercolor application. So as you can see, I've sped this up a bit to not make the video so long, since I'm working with watercolor and pastel later, and I haven't sped it up so much that you can't get an idea of what I'm doing. So I'm going to add some music here for the Monet Café channel here on YouTube. Once again, patrons, if you're listening, I'm going to give you a real-time section with more commentary for this watercolor portion. But don't go away, Monet Café. I didn't mean to rhyme there. When the watercolor portion is done, I'm giving more instruction here on the pastel application and the completion of this painting. Enjoy this lovely song. By the way, a lot of you ask where I get my music from or what the name of the song is. I get a lot of my music from the YouTube Audio Library, and the reason is because my videos will get a strike against them if I use music that has a copyright. So I can be pretty sure with the YouTube Audio Library that I don't have any copyright issues, but enjoy this lovely song and I'll be back soon. Alright, that was fun. I always loved the looseness and just the freedom of painting with watercolors. And now, like I said, the pastel matte is already prepared for pastels. And just so you know, the surface of pastel matte, it was actually kind of surprising to me the first time I got it. It's not super gritty and yet it holds layers for pastels. It's really a wonderful surface. And none of these pastel papers are really cheap just so you know. But the great thing about pastel matte and many pastel papers is you can wash them off. You can brush your pastels off, so don't feel afraid to start a painting. And I have repurposed multiple paintings that didn't come out right. So pastel matte is obviously water-friendly and easy to make changes if you need to. If you saw me throw my hands up in the air a second ago, it's because I realized the set of Sennelier Pastels here, this pair set, doesn't have a lot of purples. It's got a few little light lavenders, so that's why I grabbed some of those purples from my set in the back. Now you can see I'm grouping the pastels for different sections or areas that I'll be working on. A lot of those rosy colors, pinks, lavenders, a little deeper burgundy for the flowers, and the greens for some of the foliage and some of the darker colors for background and some of those a bit more neutral blues for the background, pushing it back with color temperature. By the way, my patrons will get a copy of this image. I do add a few more pastels as I work, but these are the basics. And once again, you can work with whatever you have. Goodness knows, I didn't have all these supplies when I first got started and we just gradually do what we can and get supplies as we can afford them. I think that's why I'm always trying to give you guys ways to work on a budget, creating your own pastel surfaces. You guys probably know I talk about it a lot. I have a video, Eight Ways to Create Your Own Pastel Surface. And that's because that's how I had to work when I got started. I have, and I'm still very frugal. So I'm always feeling very blessed to have what I have right now. All right, these blues that I'm using right now in the background, notice in the reference image, it was very dark in the background. I decided these roses were so delicate. I didn't want all that contrast or, you know, just a dark feeling. I wanted to keep it light. And as I often do and say in my videos, many times I love multiple stages of the painting process. When you record yourself painting and you can look back, you're able to see the different stages. I recommend that too. I mean, whether or not you're going to show it to anybody or not, it's a very good thing for you to do to learn more about how you're painting. Often we feel like we've just got to keep working and keep working.  So once again, I'm keeping the background kind of cooled off. By the way, this video will come between a part one and a part two of a beginner lesson that I have. I believe it's called Art Principles for Landscape Painting, something like that. The first one that's just uploaded prior to this video is on value. I give some neat examples and a printable graphic you can use for understanding value better in landscape paintings. The next one will be on color temperature. And on that note, that's why I brought this up is cooler colors make things recede into the distance. And I want that background to look further away and the warmer colors are going to be more in the foreground. You'll see later, you can even see in the watercolor painting, how I kept cooler colors in the background and I kept warmer greens, just a hint of them with the watercolor in the foreground. And I'm going to continue to do that with the soft pastels. Now, another thing that happens with soft pastels often is we get frustrated at what's called or many artists call the teenager stage or the adolescent stage. You notice how everything looks a little bit not really smooth or smoothly applied. There's a lot of the background showing through. So I don't blend a lot when I work with pastel, but I do sometimes in the beginning stages just to kind of cover up that surface of the paper. And that leads to another question, which is why do you do an underpainting if you just cover it all up? And as I often say, it you're not covering it all up typically and the underlying color does affect the overall mood of the painting. A lot of my patrons have been asking these questions and doing some neat little experiments of doing multiple small painting studies with different just toned colors for under paintings. And it's really neat how they're seeing how it really does influence the final painting. And like I say, so many people get bogged down with under paintings and what's the right color and how do I do if I have this color in a photograph? What underpainting? I don't think there's any hard and fast rules to under paintings other than using a color that's primarily in the scene. Like you've got a lot of green in the scene. I wouldn't choose a green underpainting, but a lot of it is just experimentation, having fun, getting creative and enjoying it. So play around with it. This one would be what is called a local color underpainting. Local color just means the color that's in the scene, whether you're painting from a photo or from life. I chose to do the watercolor portion in similar colors to what was already there and then enhance it with pastel layering. However, many times I will do what's called a complementary underpainting where you're choosing the colors compliments to your reference photo. I have a lot of videos on that too. But this one is called local color for the underpainting. And now you can see how I am intensifying the darker middle sections of the roses. And I want to be careful because some, and I'm adding some shadowy colors, the cooler tones where some of these petals are actually in shadow. But I want to be careful not to get too heavy-handed with the pastel. I want these to look impressionistic and almost like a dream. And they really have that feeling more now or in a little bit as I work a little bit than they do at the end once again. Sometimes just getting carried away and continuing to work. And it's really a good habit to get up, take a break, go outside, have a cup of coffee, or even overnight come back to your painting in the morning. And often you see it with fresh new eyes. Have you ever done that before? I know I've done it where I've packed some paintings away for a while. Even sometimes a painting I wasn't very happy with and went back, did some reorganization and opened up something and saw a painting I hadn't seen in a while and was like, wow, that's better than I thought it was. Of course that works the opposite way too, seeing a painting after a while and thinking it was good while you were doing it and later realizing, wow, I have really learned a lot and grown from where I was many months or years ago. Now I am going to speed this up a little bit more. This is barely sped up so far while I've been talking, but I'm going to speed it up a little bit more to reduce the file size for uploading. So enjoy the music, but after I finish some of these roses I will be back to talk a bit more about my techniques for the background. I'm continuing to work on the roses here, trying hard to keep that impressionistic feel and also I'm learning more myself over the years. One of my goals has been to create more definite focal points in a painting and one of the strategies to do that is to have your most detail and most contrast in a particular area and then reduce it in other areas and a common way to do this is things in the foreground are typically usually more detailed anyway. So I'm trying to keep it to where these front three roses that are kind of grouped together are the main focal point and then have the rest even more subdued. I think I could have left it even more subdued than I do at the final image, but that's kind of what I'm continuing to work on and once again trying to keep things in the background are going to be a little bit more out of focus anyway. They're usually going to be less contrast, less color, usually they're more neutral, less crisp edges, so I'm going to keep those background roses really soft and without a lot of detail. So that's the goal and I apologize in this section. I got my big head in the way. Once again I am not at my home studio. I prefer to work at an easel but sometimes I will sit, I have a tabletop easel I'll use and by the way this setup literally just my iPad holder with a piece of black foam core that I've taped the pastel mat to, sorry I meant to mention that earlier, and truly you can get creative and travel with your pastels and your artwork. I have had to do it unfortunately multiple times in my life but it is, I tell you what, it has been healing for me while helping to care for my mother-in-law here in our home to have art to keep me at peace. This is the stage prior to working on the background I really did like the looseness and the out of focus quality of the background here and I kind of wish I had not given too much to the background but I was so happy with the overall painting. Adding a few more little teeny buds and roses in the backgrounds again focusing on not a lot of detail so that your eye immediately you hope when you make a focal point the eye goes to the main focal area and then you have interest gradually in other places that are leading the viewer to explore and enjoy your painting. And now I'm beginning to work on the background I will add mostly cooler colors in the background they're going to be greens that are more I guess the best description would be more like an evergreen in color for the ones that are a darker value I don't want to go too warm I don't want to make them like these yellowy greens because once again color temperature gets cooler in the background so I'm just kind of a lot of it's just kind of scumbling and I have another video that talks about the different ways you can apply pastel I can't remember it's like 12 ways to apply pastel I'll try to put clickable links in this video too but it's a really neat way to understand sometimes we get very patterned in the way we apply our pastels and forget that we can twist and turn and use scumbling and linear strokes and use the side of your pastel so it's fun to explore and to try new things and I do believe it will help your artwork to just get better and better over time I'm adding some of the deeper values darker values it's more of a kind of a deep purple and then more of a neutral purple to the areas in the photo that are the darkest once again I didn't want to go as dark as it was in the photo in the background but usually to find those darker values the ones you want to keep dark the best technique is just to squint your eyes or to reduce the lighting where you are and then you can all of a sudden see the darkest areas you can also see shapes I'm often talking about how I paint more by shape and value than by anything I almost zone out and forget sometimes the thing that I'm painting because sometimes when you have in your brain I am painting a rose and you keep thinking about a rose we tend to paint what we think a rose looks like instead of maybe what that particular rose does look like in the picture sometimes they don't look exactly the petals may not be where we think or the shadows may not be where we think so with many many times you actually should follow what the reference image is telling you and not what your brain is telling you I know it always sounds funny to say turn your brain off but sometimes it's a good strategy okay I'm finishing up here I think I've got my I was holding my camera which is my iPhone and painting at the same time and what I wanted to do here I knew I wanted to push the background back even further to feel like it's more in the distance so I grabbed some more brighter and lighter value teals and I'm doing a real painterly approach in the background just adding them here and there and also you see I added some indications of stems I didn't want to get I didn't want to spell everything out too much in this once again the goal was impressionism and not realism and back to one of the main points of this video was the impressionistic beginnings and how watercolor so beautifully can do that for you if you create a very loose watercolor as an under painting it really can help to set the mood for that impressionistic feel and while impressionism may seem like it's a process that you just start painting and it's all loose and free don't think that means you shouldn't plan some things out like I said I purposely thought about my strategy prior I'm showing you where I got some of these turquoisey colors from my other set don't be afraid to plan some things out impressionism and loose doesn't mean sporadic and unplanned so take the time to think about I like the concept of I often get asked how do you know what to make the focal point and I think it's often a good idea to think about what attracted you to that reference image or scene in life to begin with and if it's the thing that drew you to the image that's a good strategy for a focal point for example if it's a field and there's a sweeping tree you may want to exaggerate that tree make that tree the focal point and subdue other elements in the scene or if it's a field of flowers and there's a few in the front that are just dancing and looking like they are lyrical and energetic those may be the things that you make the focal point and these things do get easier the more that you work on them so don't get frustrated with yourself and I say this from experience because I wish that in times past I I lived what I preach so often which is to enjoy the journey you will get better the more you work on these things art is not you know a lot of people say oh well you just have a gift you just you have a gift well some people may have that god-given leaning towards liking art but all these things can be learned and that's why I'm here to help you do that here is the final and it will be available in my Etsy shop soon I have my shop on vacation now but I should open it again in a couple of weeks we're bringing my mother-in-law back home with us to care for her so I hope you learn something and once again patrons you will get the real-time watercolor tutorial portion of this thank you everyone God bless and as always happy painting


today we're focusing on how to build a brand from scratch. This is going to be a seven part series because there's just too much for me to be able to get across. I don't just want to give you the what I want to give you the how as well and this brilliant question has come from Claire in Leeds. So Claire I'm going to read out your question and if you like Claire are also thinking about building your brand from scratch then over these next seven steps we're going to get really into how you can go away and do this for yourself. So Claire says Sammy I need your help. I get a few of those. I've been a coach and mentor for many years and I love the work that I do but I've been feeling a strong calling to support people in a bigger way by creating programs and courses that reach the masses. I have built my business through word of mouth referral and realised that I don't actually have a brand. Please tell me how to build a brand from scratch. Well here's what we're going to do over these next seven steps. This obviously being step one we're going to look at research and listening. We're going to look at how do you craft your offer. We're going to look at how do you pre-launch or other words soft launch the product. We're going to look at how do you then launch it. Once you've done the soft launch how do you go through that launch process. How do you then optimise the product or service that you're creating so that you can then re-launch it with feedback. So we're going to go into that. We're going to look at how do you go through the process of illuminating it and putting the spotlight onto the great work that you're doing. And then finally how do you automate that so that you don't have to go through this process again and again and again. And you are in luck because I literally launched the seven step brand Kickstarter system about two months ago which used to be for only my brand builders club members. I spent a month of my life just completely unpacking it and remaking it so that it would be available to the public. And the process I'm going to share with you is the exact process I used to create it. So Claire thank you so much for your question. I'm going to close that down now so that I can completely concentrate on you. And if you've got any questions as we go through this training please do pop them in the comments below. So the first part of this full process is about you going into the research and listening part. Now I know that research and listening can be very boring but it is the most critical part of this process because if you create things that people don't want to buy then you're just going to keep creating things and you've got more things but you've got no money in the bank that is in proportion to the energy that you're putting into creating these products and service. So the very first part of it is the listening, listening and research. I just love collecting problems and from now on and by the way you might want to make loads and loads of notes as you go through this process but some people use the comments to make their notes so you could do that and then come back later so you can listen to what I'm saying to you instead of focusing on writing lots and lots of notes. It depends how you want to do it but the key thing is that you really master the art of collecting problems.  And the beautiful thing is for every problem you solve you create another problem. It's as simple as that so never ever get caught up in this drained thinking of oh but if I give it all away then they won't need to buy it from me it doesn't work like that anymore the more you give the more you receive the more you receive the more you can give that's definitely how I think anyway and certainly with the part of the one drop philosophy if for every little drop of hope or inspiration or support or service that you deliver to each person that you work with on the planet that creates another ripple and each ripple you create makes a wave and that wave becomes an ambassador for you that wave is then carried way beyond just that first customer. So I always think about whenever I work with somebody I'm focused on how can I give them such a brilliant experience that they become an ambassador for my business because it's going to make it a lot easier for me to build my business and that's a key element of thinking for you okay that's abundant thinking not lack thinking we're going into abundant thinking as we go through this process so let's think abundantly let's think about how can we solve as many problems as we possibly can so that we can get more and more people to live the life or the business or enjoy the health the wealth the whatever it is that you you do for your clients they're going to be able to find you and they're going to be able to start living in the way that they deserve to live because you showed up in their life and if there are other people that are out there in the world saying they do what they do and you could maybe think of several people you could probably call them to mind right now people who are out there who are charging more than you who are not giving their clients the the depth of service and the level of quality relationship and the level of integrity that you deliver well is there about time that you did isn't it about time they found you instead of them first so let's make that happen so here's a strategy that I use whenever I am going to launch a new product so the first thing I do is I go and I join five different groups now that can be on Facebook it can be linked in it could be forums it could be anywhere where your ideal customers are hanging out in massive volume yeah so we're not talking about going and finding a Facebook or LinkedIn group or a forum that has 100 people in it we're talking about go and find some groups and forums that have got thousands of people in there and thousands of them are people who would be perfect for your product or service so that's the first step is go and find five groups because not all of those groups don't think she's like oh my god then I've got five groups to manage you don't because ultimately the reason why you're going to join five is because you're going to find the top one or two maximum three that you need to be showing up in every day for you to start building really good brand credibility the more visible you are the more credible you become the more profitable well you'll follow that with right because the more visible you are the more chance you've got of building that quality relationship with a lot more people a lot faster and they then will go out into the world and tell other people about you so go and join those five groups when you get into those groups put a post in them just saying hello now what I tend to do is I find something an image that's a really bright color like bright pink or something that really stands out on the page so that everybody that's on that page that's the first thing they see and just put you know hi my name is I'm from you know so fill in the gap wherever you are in the world I'd love to know where you are where where are you in the world just ask something really simple like that because what that does is it doesn't create a barrier what it does is it's an open question that really opens it up and everybody knows where they live all right if you ask them to answer a really hard question then they're probably not going to answer that because they don't know how to answer it or they go into their perfectionist belief or their limiting beliefs that stop them from actively participating if you ask them where they live you're more likely to get that response I did this recently when I was launching the seven step brand Kickstarter and I went into five groups three of them became really really active I went in into one of them I posted hi my name's Sammy at the time I was in Manchester we live on a boat so we travel full time so I could be anywhere the next time I make videos for you I could be in a completely different location right so I said hi I'm Sammy I'm from Manchester or I'm currently in Manchester I'd love to know where in the world you're from you know pop it in the comments below let's see if I can let's see if we can say hi from wherever we are and I just put something like that just something really friendly I had over 350 comments within 24 hours because it was an active group and that's what you're looking at that's why you want thousands of people out of I think there was something like 30,000 people in the group so out of 30,000 people 350 of them came and said hello in 24 hours that's why you want a big group because there's going to be an active part of that group that that will respond and when they respond you need to make sure that you are following up on that so don't just put it in there like a grenade expect it to explode and then don't go back to it this is an opportunity for you to now really build your personal profile for you to leverage that credibility yeah because building trust the more people see you the more they see you showing up the more they trust you the more you open your mouth and you are talking sense the more credibility you build the more credibility you create the more connection you create the more connection more conversation they want to it starts more conversation you create more engagement when you've got more conversation that's when it leads to the conversion and that conversion is the stranger to a friend so that's where you want to definitely take your business is that conversion from a stranger to a friend and then a friend into a customer a customer into a lifetime customer we're going fast here so i hope that you're right and i can see there's smoke coming off the off the page or off your keyboard right now so that's where we want to get to you want to start to really build that relationship they come back you know and you might think oh god i've never heard of wherever that is in the world so say so say oh i've never heard of that place where somebody somewhere close that i would know just start that conversation start the conversation so that when you send a friend request or a message to them they're going to respond because they now feel like they know you and this is where you can start to then jump onto a message outside of that group and say hey i'd love to know more about what you're doing and you know i talk much faster than i can type why don't we jump on and have a virtual coffee and that's where you can start to build that conversation and that's where the conversion from stranger to friend happens and when you're on that call don't try and sell them on that call just really use it as a fact finding opportunity and if the worst thing that happens is that they go away with a really high perception of your brand that wow that was a really nice person they were the drop for me today like go into that conversation to give because the more you give the more you will receive go into it to give find out how you can support them and then there if they're the right kind of person if they've got the same kind of values issue they'll want to do the same for you if they don't do the same for you then i promise you even if you go out of your way to support them what the universe will do even if that person doesn't give it back to you the universe looks down on that and it says wow you gave a lot there we're going to give you a lot and it might not come from there but we're going to give it to you from here and here and here and here and you will be abundant in so many ways honestly it always comes back to you maybe you've experienced that before the problem with looking in the same direction that it's come from is that you end up getting so focused on that that you miss all of this magic that's also happening around you so so do watch out for the magic coming back to you and the more you meet with people the more questions you can ask the more research you're doing and something else that i did once i started to build those relationships because now i'd built some trust now i'd built some credibility after about three or four days it was time i was ready to then start asking the real questions so that's when i put a post out into this into the group and i said i've created a seven step system that and so i talked about the seven step brand kickstarter how it dramatically increases your the quality of conversions you come out with a 10 second 30 second and 60 second pitch you're raising your visibility getting massive exposure building up your products and services so there were lots of different things you know your vision and the values behind it your brand colors there was all kinds of stuff that i built into this seven step program so i put that into this post i said i'm looking for 21 people to test this product for me so i can build it around you and that way it will be perfect for everyone that goes through the program after that who would be interested who would be willing to go through that process and i got all these people that responded right and it was brilliant because they responded and that meant that i had people that i could test the the content with before i then went and did anything else the other thing that i did was i also because i did that and then i i used the groups to ask lots of questions and i asked things like you know i'm thinking of creating a webinar that will support you with how to build a brand what are some of the questions that you've got around how to build a brand so i can build that in and then i make it totally relevant for the audience and in one group i got about 21 questions in another group i got 19 questions in another group i i got 26 questions right and all of those questions i collected them some of them were the same so they were the ones that i answered first because there was clearly a theme and then i answered the other ones as well and the beautiful thing about doing that is that you can say just like i'm doing now hi claire thank you so much for your question on how to build a brand from scratch if you like claire have the question that's just like this then over this next 10 minutes we're going to answer that for you and if you've got any questions pop them in the comments below and i'll make you a video as well so here we go so you go on with the content you then post that content you tag claire in and you say claire are you send a little message claire i've just made you a video to answer your question it was such a good question i just felt it deserved a proper video answer i'd love and appreciate it if you could share this with all of your business friends as well because i think that my answers will help you and it will help them to really appreciate your support good luck and let me know how you're getting on well claire whoever i was making the videos for them was like oh my god you made a video just for me share share share share and it turned my brand into a very high visibility brand very quickly and i built a lot of quality relationships within those groups so i for in about an hour every day all i was doing was collecting problems and answering them collecting problems and answering them within 12 weeks of doing that when i launched how to build a brand i was bringing in 18 000 pounds a month because i built so much trust people were asking me about my programs i launched my first book the seven reasons why customers don't choose you and how you can change that and off the back of the book which all that book is doing is and you can see it just behind me in the middle there all that book is doing is answering questions i just took the top questions i was getting again and again and again and i answered them in that book and i turned it into a workbook so people could scribble in it and and really make it their brand building bible and then after that i created the first program the brand accelerator program and that was a significant program six months of me working one on one with the people going through that program i had 18 people join that program within 12 weeks of me starting the business and just all just did this strategy and so i created everything off the back of just asking questions and people were paying me a thousand pounds a month for six months to be a part of that program so i had 18 000 pounds of solid cash flow coming into the business and working with 18 people for one hour a month really was not a massive deal because i had a big program behind that and i developed that program around them now i mean that program that's now about eight years old just coming up to eight years old and in all honesty i had no idea that that program would become as big as it did because i was building it around each person that went through it so that anybody that went through it after that it would be easy and i could systemize it exactly this process i'm taking you through now but like if you look at that program now because i was building it around each person and it didn't feel like it was a big deal because i wasn't having to make a load of things in advance i was just responding to each person and the majority of the content was the same but there would be little tweaks if i had somebody who was in property for example well they needed some a few little extra different things than somebody who's a coach a mentor or somebody who was coming in and they wanted to build their brand as a public speaker they needed a few extra things as well and so each person that came through got to the point where i had something for each industry and when i look at my infusion soft and we'll talk about systems and things at the end of this process i use infusion soft and when i look at that now for that one program there's over 700 emails that are now programmed in for that program there's a what if they do it what if they don't what if they get halfway i mean the system is so intelligent that i'm able to literally manage each client now that goes through that process without me physically having to be there and i'm just on the other end by email which has saved in it just a magnificent amount of time than when you first create it so that's what you're going to do in this one with it's gone a little bit longer for this particular training session because we've talked you through what we're going to do and now this is the first step and there is actually a worksheet that i'm happy to give you it's something that i made for my brand builders club members about three or four months ago it's called how to get early adopters to buy your course your product or your program before you've even made it i won't charge you anything because i made it for my members anyway and just drop me an email at sammie at howtobildabrand.org that's sammie at howtobildabrand.org and and just put in the title at youtube early adopter so that i know that that's what you want and actually also ask me for the 25 questions as well because when you get to the point where you've got them on the phone you then want to have your questions ready so that you can ask them about what's going on in their life and how you can build this program around them how would they want you to do it do they prefer video do they prefer it written do they prefer to listen to it and there's loads and loads and loads of questions that i pulled together and turned into like 25 questions so before you jump on that call you're able to look down that list of questions or what i do is i copy and paste them out because i've got it in a word document i copy and paste out like the five or six questions that i'm going to answer them and and those questions might be different for each person they're actually really good questions for um podcast interviews and things like that as well so so ask me for that send me an email and ask me for that i'll be more than happy to send it to you because i think that's going to help you even better to go through this process and and do it in an even more concise way in a way that really works for you so do that research and join those five groups you could do that straight away you don't have to wait you and remember perfection is poverty perfection is paralysis if you start trying to make everything perfect then it's just never going to be perfect enough so just get shit done join those five groups go and say hello put that little post out there see what starts to happen for you and as you start giving you'll start receiving i guarantee you'll start receiving it might not be financial receiving at first but what happens is you create the domino effect the ripple effect those ripples start making waves and as soon as you make waves that's when you start to really get going so i hope that you have enjoyed this video and if you have then please make sure that you subscribe you know what to do subscribe and i would love it if you could share it with your your friends as well let them know how they can subscribe to the how to build a brand channel and i look forward to seeing you in part two of this episode so take care and i will see you there


Alrighty, so this is my first Caroline's construction update and I'm super excited to finally dip my feet into this kind of a project. This has like even more excitement written all over it than that to my home park at Canada's Wonderland. I can't believe Caroline's is getting a mock coaster. I can't believe that they're getting a double launch coaster by the looks of it. And I cannot believe the size of the project alone. This is super exciting. So let's go over a few of the facts that we know. So we know it's gonna be a mock. It looks like it's gonna be a double launch coaster and Screamscape leaked the plans and it looks like they were correct as we can tell by the rebar cages for the footers on site and the actual packaging that says mock rides right on it. So super exciting. And I have a feeling just like Canada's Wonderland because Caroline's and Canada's Wonderland are sister parks that these coasters both in 2019 are gonna be extensively themed. Now, when it comes to theming and the type of theme that Caroline's may go with, Copperhead Strike has already been trademarked and if I'm right or correct, please correct me down below because Caroline's is in my home park, I'm probably gonna screw up a lot on some of the facts and just basic knowledge of the park. Copperheads snakes are kind of in that area and that's why that name might have been chosen. I am picturing something on the level of like in between like Disney World and like SeaWorld type theming. I think this is gonna be a really extensive theming project and I think Caroline's and Canada's Wonderland are gonna blow a lot of people away with the theming on their coasters. So construction has just kind of started and there isn't, they're a little bit farther behind than that to Canada's Wonderland, which is interesting because it's a much larger coaster than that to a dive coaster in my opinion. It's a double launch mat coaster. So they're probably gonna go hardcore for the rest of the season on construction where Canada's Wonderland will probably slow down. So I watched some of these clips over, I had looked at these pictures over and it looks like they're still doing kind of like the main kind of groundwork when it comes to a new area. So based off of things I'm seeing, it looks like we're gonna see a pretty extensive kind of midway, it looks like they're inserting pipes that you would normally see for like new restaurants, water work or a new like restroom. So I'm expecting kind of like a mini expansion in this area. And comment down below for anyone from Caroline's if you agree or disagree with that. It kind of looks like they're getting ready to have some buildings in that area. So I'm maybe predicting probably a restaurant and a restroom to go along with the theming as well. I don't know what you could theme that to for Copperhead Strike. I'm kind of thinking like Caroline's theme and Carolina's and the mixture of Copperhead Strike and how that can work. Definitely comment down below what you guys think they could pull off with the theming on a Copperhead Strike because I'm kind of lost in terms of theming for that. And I would love to see your guys' ideas. As you can tell, I'm kind of stumbling over words because I'm really trying to think about the kind of potential for that. I do think it's gonna be extensive and I think it's gonna look gorgeous once done but I'm kind of lost for how it can look. I'm trying to picture it in my head and I can't. But yeah, so the area is very large for the construction site and there's lots of markings just like at Wonderland but they obviously have a lot more footers or potential footers marked on the land just from what I've seen from pictures. And again, thank you so much to those of you who are sending me in pictures. I would love video footage moving forward as well. So if anyone can grab me video footage at the park, b-roll footage of the construction site or anything in the park, that would be phenomenal because I really wanna do a lot of construction updates on this park and this coaster as it has Golden Ticket Award for 2019 written all over it. And I think this is gonna be one of the most exciting projects in 2019. So far, don't at me, don't come for me. So far, this does look like the most exciting project and I couldn't be more excited for Carolin's and its enthusiast group. So it's a great location. It's in between the water park and the dry park. Again, correct me if I get any information wrong. And it is a very large plot of land and from even just a couple of weeks ago when it started to now, there's been lots of land clearing, lots of markings and lots of water pipes and electricity or electrical work going on. Which is again, super exciting. It points to a lot of different things. I mean, I can't guarantee it's a restaurant or restroom just yet, it could be anything. But here are some over shots that people sent me. Again, please don't send me shots of you on Windseeker or a ride. I cannot use that because we do have relationships with the parks, especially in the Cedar Fair chain and we don't wanna jeopardize that. So grab any pictures you grab, please grab them from a viewing area like this, not a ride or I cannot use it. So thank you. But please send me in video footage again. Just to touch on that again, I would love video footage of this construction site and even around it. So we do know that there's a lot of construction walls. It looks like a lot more than we see at Canada's Wonderland. The construction site itself is a lot larger than that at Canada's Wonderland as well just to compare two projects. And yeah, map coasters seem to be in high demand now and I am beyond thrilled that Cedar Fair is working with Mack Rides. I cannot wait to see the next park that gets one but to get back onto the construction site itself, they already have a crane on site. I don't even, we don't even see a crane at Canada's Wonderland.  I feel like they should have started a little sooner because a dive coaster is easier to build and we started a lot sooner. So I guess we're gonna see a lot of work over the next like year before this opens, less than a year, but we're gonna see a lot of work. So lots of construction fences so far, lots of digging, lots of markings so far, nothing like super in-depth to report on in terms of the construction update itself yet. But again, I am looking for video footage and pictures, anything to make a video on. I really wanna report on this construction project so please send them to me. Basically just message me on Instagram. The link is down below. We are amusement insiders on Instagram so send me any pictures and video you may have. I'll give you access to a folder that you can drop them in and that would be greatly appreciated as we're always looking for park reps from various parks. We have a very large team and I'm always looking for more. But yeah, comment down below what you guys think about the theming I mentioned earlier. Are you excited for Copperhead Strike at Carol Hins and is anyone, is this anyone's home park that can provide me with any information on this park? I can use it in future videos. Anyways, thanks for watching as always guys. Give this video a like, comment down below, share it if you want and subscribe if you haven't. Anyways, thanks for watching guys. Have a great one. Bye.


one is Eric Adams classic.  It's just so...    Imagine caring at all about that. Oh, it's for me. Social lust for the super chat. Invite Dusty Smith whenever possible. That would be good. I would like to do that. Infinite content. $10. Thank you. Mike, Olymy must have thought when she was gonna go on with Eric Adams. Some people wait a lifetime. Oh, the calico. Okay. Half of this to Olymy. Okay. Is Infinite content drunk? Why is Mike's well with an 8? And it's Eric Adams? Yeah, I'm not sure. I wasn't sure if there was any significance to the 8. Mr Top of New York. I agree. You are the top of New York. Thank you for your $20 super chat, sir. One and zero and two. Two. Well, I aren't more people talking about project 2025. Trump is only the far rights vessel to turn government into land, to handmaid's tale. Yeah, Mike has a great video on that. I've also covered that as well in various ways. I talk about it a lot. It should be a topic that's definitely discussed. As we get closer to the election, I think that for sure should be a focus. They did, I think that they removed the book that you can order, like the 900 page document because I think that they realize that people were starting to get worried about it. I feel like, okay, we've got to hide that shit, but it's out there. Yeah, people downloaded it and they have it, so it's too late. Otaku dragon with $5. Thank you.  That's true. Between climate change and the religious extremism, they'd say, I'm not touching that. Yeah, you know, it's possible. Maybe they're there and they know that we exist, but they're waiting until the last second to intervene because they want to try to help ourselves first before they help us. AOD fan with a membership super chat. Hi Matt, have you ever watched the movie Ready to Rumble? Also should try to have Owen Jones on the show. That would be great. We would stream when it's like, what, the middle of the night. It's a lot to ask if someone is that high profile in a different country, but he's awesome. Yes, I have seen Ready to Rumble, the WCW wrestling movie starring Of course, I've seen that movie. An all time wrestling classic that led to the made up match from the movie actually happening in WCW. Yes, how could I forget it? That's very interesting. Darnell Henry... It's WrestleMania weekend. That's probably why he asked that question. Who's sorry to well, but Batman is in New Jersey. No, he's not. Gotham is clearly New York City. What? Chicago. What? I mean, they actually filmed in New York City. In fact, that scene where Batman and Bane battle with the police that was filmed during Occupy Wall Street just blocks away from Occupy Wall Street. Oh, really? And it was like a news story because also some activists saw all those cops and thought they were coming to crack down Occupy Wall Street. This was back in 2011. Maybe parts of it were filmed in New York, but I'm reading here. Chicago serves as a filming location for Gotham City and Batman begins the dark night and the dark night rises. That was definitely in New York City. I don't know. What's the big fight in WrestleMania this weekend? So it's a two night event. So there's two main events, the main event and night one is Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns and The Rock. His first match since he left the last time he came back in 2016. And then Night 2 is Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns for the title in a rematch from last year's WrestleMania. Roman Reigns has been the champion for the past four years, I believe undefeated, which is very rare in modern wrestling history. Years of people don't hold the title for that long. Aren't they doing it to like beat Hulk's record? I think that's kind of like the doesn't help him to hold the record. No, the record will never be defeated. It was Bruno San Martino he held the title for 10 years. Oh my god. They're never gonna, yeah. This was back in like the day when WWE would just run Madison Square Garden and like the Northeast and like, you know, it was it was built around people coming to see Bruno San Martino. It wasn't built around people coming to see you know, the WWE. So, it was different then. Now, they don't have people hold the title that long because they people come to see the WWE. They can make numerous superstars and make a lot more money than just building it around one guy who could just decide to leave in a tough place. So, who do you think is gonna win that match? The first mat night it's pretty clear because if in that tag team match, if Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins win Roman Reigns' group The Bloodline are banned from ringside, last year they helped cost Cody Rhodes to match, but if The Rock and Roman Reigns win, then it's a bloodlines rules match and anything goes, including The Bloodline can interfere in the match and won't get Roman Reigns disqualified it's pretty clear that The Rock and Roman Reigns will win. So, the next night, anything goes in that match and we're gonna see, I think, a lot of interference there's rumors of a Stone Cold Steve Austin surprise appearance because it'll be the 25th anniversary of the first time Stone Cold and The Rock faced off so people think maybe Stone Cold will come to help Cody Rhodes if The Rock tries to interfere. Maybe I'll watch this. It's gonna be really good. $5 on Peacock. That's it? It comes with the Peacock subscription so it's not $5 for WrestleMania either. I'm not sure Peacock is even available in Canada. Oh, you might have to subscribe to WWE Network in Canada. But that should only be like 10 bucks for the WWE Network in Canada. Isn't it available through regular pay-per-view things? Yeah, it's like 60 or 70 or 80 bucks down there. Oh my god. So, definitely just get definitely will not steal it. I will just watch it legally somewhere. There you go. Watch it very legally. If I could use your Peacock 100%, like that's easy. All right, where am I here? So, we just read that one, yeah. So, Ren, thank you for your super chats of sending all my cash to Canada tonight. I should have a Canada soundtrack. I don't know why I should have like, oh, Canada. That'd be great. Just drop that every now and then. Thank you for your super chat says Yal Rock, any advice for wannabe news YouTubers? Just do it. Yeah, just do it. Do it because you enjoy doing it. And you'll find your audience if you're consistent. I thought about it for too long and never got around to doing it to much later than I should have. So, you shouldn't do that, just do it. And then reach out to other people. Do panels, streams. Do a lot of cross streams. Just do a lot of work with other people. And you'll find an audience. Be consistent and expect there to not be a lot of views in the beginning. It's a grind at first. But if you keep plugging away and you put out quality content, you'll find an audience. It's also easier, I think, at this point if you have a niche, there's so much out there. If you have a specialty that you are aware of or can speak to, then that helps, too. Emo Dragon, thank you for the super chat. 499 says, TYT main show probably didn't touch on L.A. showdown with Eric Adams, because Jankin and I probably side more with Adam. I mean, hard to argue considering some of the stuff I've heard about them talking about crime. He's laughing, he's LOL because I said cross streams. You should do that, too. Cross streams with other streamers. It'll build up that relationship and you guys will be really close and you can depend on each other for content. Very close. How do you feel when mafia started? We had the same joke at the same time. True. Asa Rosa, with $2. Thank you, hoping Barron Trump doesn't end up like his father. He seems to be the most normal aside from Tiffany. That's true.  I have a ton of wealth coming my way very soon. I'm just gonna...  Hopefully, he does that. I heard he sounds just like his father, though. Have you heard him talk about his height? He says he's seven foot two... Oh, really? For a second, I thought you had a real. I was still sold out to you, said it. I'm like, wow, what is it with the two?  He is gigantic, though. Is he seven-two?  I just made up a random number. Tony Rizzo is asking me. She's a mod in my chat. Two broke for super chat, totally fine. But would you ask David what his thoughts are on season two of Shorsi? I have no idea what that is. What is that? I don't watch that show.  I never got around to it. I hear it's really good, though. It's like a hockey-Canadian sitcom, basically. But he was like really good. Oh. Parker with a super chat, how hype were you for WrestleMania this weekend? One to ten, one to ten. I'm really hyped, ten. Maybe a nine only because I'm still angry. They didn't explain that weird Cody Rhodes the rock thing. So basically, if people don't know, Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble in January, which means he gets to main event WrestleMania. That's been wrestling history for decades. And then, shortly after he won the Royal Rumble, so they set up Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns for the title, main event of WrestleMania, a rematch from last year. It was set in stone. And the rock comes back. And Cody Rhodes randomly just says, you know what, because you're back, I'll sit out this year and I'll let you face Roman Reigns for the title at WrestleMania, because that's what people want to see. Just why would anyone do that? Made no sense. It's clear that the WWE just wrote it in the storyline because they thought the fans would be so delighted that the rock was back and that's what the fans wanted to see. Well, they were wrong. There was a backlash online. There was a We Want Cody campaign. The rock turned into a heel while it turned into a bad guy in the eyes of the fans. I'm not actually ever doing anything that a bad guy does yet. And so the WWE just nixed the storyline, put Cody Rhodes back in the main event, turned the rock heel as a sort of explainer as to why this was going on and why they should hate the rock.  So that's bothered me throughout this whole couple of months of buildup to WrestleMania. So I'll give it a 9 for hype just for that reason alone. Yeah, sometimes there's a lack of consistency that can pull you out of it. Yeah. For me, think ronicity. With a $20 Canadian super chat. That means it's even more than $20 for money, right? That's right. $20 is the tradeoff is I get more, right? But think ronicity says it's worth listening to the first 15 minutes of Keith Oberman's episode Trump I Will Federalize State and Local Cops April 3rd, 2024 that's the day to the episode. It is factual, so one's opinion of Keith is not the point, he is correct. It can happen on day one. Kowalski, with 999. Thank you so much. Very kind of you, sir. I spent the last six months tracking down Oles haters for reeducation. And just as I finally got them all, she decided to take on the NYPD. This could take nine months to fix. I need a Bane mask. The emo dragon with a super chat. Ian Michael, Ian Miles Chung's new woke enemy is basic math order of operations. Checked out apes of state based on your recommendation. Good stuff. Keep up the great work. Yeah, apes of state is a great band. Apes of the state is a great band. And yeah, I saw this. I have it ready.  Should I read it? So Ian Miles Chung tweets Excuse me, Apple why is this calculation wrong? Why is this calculator wrong? When you key in 50 plus 50 and hit the equal key it'll give you 100. Multiply that by 2 and you get 200. That's correct. But type in 50 plus 50 times 2 and it spits out 150. What gives? And he includes a video that shows him inputting this calculation. And this is like, this is known as PEMDAS.  That in the order of operations if you want to do 50 plus 50 and then times that those added numbers by 2, you got to do 50 plus 50 first and get the answer and then times it by 2. But if your equation is 50 plus 50 times 2 all together, then according to the mathematical order of operations, you first multiply the 2 times 50 which would give you 100 then you add that additional 50 which would give you 150.  Yeah, it's my opinion that the order of operations ought to be simplified like it is in Casio calculators. He also says that the order of operations is able to slur. I won't put that up on the screen. He doesn't like the community note. This had me laughing so hard this morning. I cannot believe these people.  I can't help but think anymore. Anytime I see anything on Twitter from a checkmark I'm thinking is this simply for engagement because they get paid more if people are engaged with this. That's why you usually don't quote tweet them.  I can't trust this person to act with the stup. Right. I don't know.  It turns them into clowns for clout. I don't know the name of the guy but you might have seen it. There's this right wing Gen Z mega figure and he posted this photo of himself and he's like, I am Alpha I am pro Trump, do you find me attractive? And the photo of himself that he shared was the most unflattering. He looks like he's dead. He's not real, right? That's not what he looks like because he posted photos of himself wearing shirts with slurs on them, racial slurs. So he doesn't like he photoshopped himself to look terrible.  I think it's just like an account to Engagement Farm. He pays for Twitter blue. Oh, somebody says Rick Strokerson. So it's not a real person.  It's so fucking... Gen Z looks like he's like 50-year-old mixed with like a Gen Z. It's such a weird privilege. His skin is so white. It's like he looks like he's actually like dead, like literally. I'm not being hyperbolic. This looks like a 50-year-old man but he also does look kind of young but he looks like he's 50. It's a really weird looking person. I don't think he's real. Lizzie Bennett, thank you so much for the $2 superchat. Voted blank on NY primary f Gen Z Joe. Hell yeah. Glad you did that. Tokio Hans with a superchat. I really hope they can make Jurassic Park a reality. I could go for some JFC Jurassic Fried Seratore That's pretty funny. Taylor Celadonija $10 superchat, thank you, says Diyal F with bad empanada. He posts some incredible incredible Palestine content and he even confronted pro Israel Palestinian and it didn't go well for that guy. Would love y'all to have him on the podcast. I've heard this guy's name before. I don't know who this person, I keep hearing the name. I think I've been told who they are and then I forget who they are. I don't know who this person. So I had a debate with bad empanada because he got very angry at me. That's why I recognize it. So when there was that white supremacist shooter who had a Latino background and right wingers were up in arms about how can you call Latino a white supremacist. And I simply made the point that there's actually a historical basis for that. There's actually a history of neo-Nazis finding refuge in South America which is true. In fact, literal Nazis. Not even just neo-Nazis from Germany during World War II after they lost the war they fled to different South American countries for sanctuary. And some of them were hunted and brought back to Europe for to face justice. He had a problem with me doing that because he called it he said that I was perpetuating the trope of Argentinian Nazis. Which A, there is a trope but B, there again is a historical fact that Nazis did indeed flee to Argentina. I mean, there's a reason also why Argentina is the the whiter of the South American countries and you get all these like Argentinians with like German last names and such.  I'm not saying people from Argentina are white supremacists or Nazis people of Argentina are mostly good people. I mean, I was cheering for the Argentina soccer team. I wanted Messi to win. I was just saying that there's a history there where there are some Nazis in South America and that there is a historical reference to white supremacists who have Latino backgrounds. And he didn't like that and so he debated me it was just one of the more ridiculous debates ever it wasn't even like debating content it was just like I don't need to call me a discount Sam Cedar or something like that like he didn't even refer to me by name he refused to even put my name in the title of his stream. He called me discount Sam Cedar. I don't even know why or what that meant. I think he was just mad that he wanted to get on a majority report and they never invited him or something. So this was his way to stick it to us or something. Very weird guy. I mean, I've even since that I've liked some of his, like I've actually clicked the like button on some of his points that he's made on Israel and Palestine I don't hold, like I'm not going to pretend the guy doesn't have some good points on other issues but the fact of the matter is he's just an asshole really and he hurts himself that way. He's actually lost a lot of people within the left who probably would have liked him otherwise. He hasn't just done it to me apparently. So it is what it is. Is this a real super jet? Also, I should mention, he's an Australian who moved to Argentina and lives there now. He's not even like a guy who was born and raised in Argentina and is fighting for his background or he's a weird Australian white guy who moved to Argentina and pretends he's a legit ethnic Argentinian or something like that. Best boomer, Vida with $100 super chat!  Your cat says best boomer, Vida Thank you, best boomer You have so much more text with a $100 super chat. Why am I even here? This is completely unfair. Tokyo Hans with a super chat Mighty Ducks movie, first step to the DEI craze. True. When I got into the Mighty Ducks as a kid maybe in 2nd, 3rd grade I was really into hockey practicing, shooting stuff. I really enjoyed it. I just played it by myself. But then I started doing little tricks and then it started to become gayer and I was trying to figure skate with the rollerblading so hockey made me gay a little bit. So be careful folks. Hockey needs a little more of that. That's the one thing hockey is missing.  I'll have to get this twitch chat. This is from Tweekle. Changing one of my quotes during my Ben & Peñada discussion. Matt Binder quote some Argentinians I assume are good people. That's so funny cause as you're saying that, I was thinking that I almost said it, I was like yeah, I'll leave it. That's actually what I said. I was like listen Argentiners that sending their best, they're sending their messijs, they're sending their rapists. Yeah. Some I assume are good people. That's great. Here we go. Oh my god, there's so many. I may have to, I got like three laps. Mike and with the super chat. Matt, do you think Cody is bringing home the gold? I don't know how they don't let him have him win that main event. I mean, it's so clear that he has to win. I guess last year, they've been building this up now then for two years. The whole finish the story slogan where he has to do what his father Dusty Rhodes never accomplished in his storied wrestling career winning the WWE World Championship. They brought the guy in back in after releasing him many years ago as a big star.  Is the charm? I don't know. But I think it would hurt him if he didn't win. It would really hurt his momentum. He's got to win. You could easily have him win and let the sort of edge of your seat surprises be like how he wins, who interferes, what happens, how it plays out. All right, it's 11.40, so I got three left. I'm just going to run through my three. Danny man, I'd love to stay here longer, but I have children and I have a child. How are you awake? My excuse. My excuse is I have a child and you have two. Danny man, thank you for your super chat says what are the worst games you played as a kid like ones you thought was going to be dope but was absolutely terrible. Mine was Tiny Tank on Xbox. It depends when kid is. I feel like when I'm a kid games that were terrible I probably I liked and didn't realize they were shitty to later on. Twist of Metal 3 for example. Not a good game, but when I was a kid I enjoyed Twist of Metal 3. But getting old like I was super hyped for Socom 3. I love Socom 1 and 2. Socom 3 terrible.  That series was never the same again. That's probably the biggest disappointment I've had. But in terms of like just bad games I play. I can't think of anything else. Mine is Spice World on PS1. I was really hyped like on Ironic. Oh my god, I remember that. Yeah. It was really bad. Bad games. I always pick out the best games. I only play the best games. We play the best games. Tremendous. Kowalski, 999. Not quite 99.99 but still thank you. In the latest trailer I've seen for the upcoming Civil War movie the journalist purchased gas with Canadian money as the USD is worthless. How smug will you Canadians be during U.S. Civil War 2? Oh, that sounds wonderful. I'm going to be using that. I love it. Last one for me is Zombie. I think they're all the same. There's three zombies. You all got the same question apparently. Zombie says don't know why you were arguing over Batman when Shrek is where it is at. They sent this three. They sent this three. Yes, the magical New York. All right, I got to go. I'd love to stay for more but you guys have a lot. Actually there's not much more. There's not a lot for me at least. We'll make it through. Yeah, pretty quick. I think we were here. So we'll hear Matt talk about wrestling for the next 20 minutes. Oh my gosh. The stream just got extended 20 minutes longer. There's two matches. There's like 13 matches total. Do you want my predictions for all 13 matches? No. Oh my god. Adam Kristoffer? Adam Kristoffer, Adam Kristoffer, Adam Kristoffer, Adam Kristoffer, Adam Kristoffer. What are your WrestleMania 4D predictions? What matches are you looking forward to? I am looking forward to the whole Bloodline, rock, Roman Reigns, Kodi Rhodes, Saga Rock and Reigns will win the Tag Match but Kodi will win the World Tidal I think. Mislim, da imamo Stonko, Steve Austin. Guntura ima intercontinentalne titale vs Sami Zayn. Logan Paul ima intercontinentalne titale vs Randy Ordon i Kevin Owens. To je proč nemačne. Wishing the very best in his career. In his match with AJ Styles, though. U know? I would root for LA Night to win just cause he could use the rub more than AJ Styles. That win for AJ wouldn't do anything, that win for LA Night would get him further in his career. U know what? I would root for LA Night, even though im a big fan of his character. Ok last but not least we have Tokyo Hans with 1000 yen. Now that the Canadians are out of here, I thought I'd show you some support too, thank you Tokyo, I appreciate that. Well that's all, do you have anything on Twitch, Matt, that you need to shout out? Oh yeah, let me check it out. Not much, but we got one. Ponderosa pine over on Twitch. Resubscribe for one month at tier one. Subscriber for 27 months. Oh my god. Thank you so much Ponderosa pine. I really appreciate it. Yeah, we did it. We did it. How do we want to read today? We started the super chats super early today, too. Not super early, but much earlier than we usually do. Usually we started 10.30, we started like 10 after 10, which we've never done before. And still we've managed to almost go three and a half hours. And the show at midnight. What is wrong with us, Mike? What do we do? I don't know, I'm tired too. But I'm just sticking it out. I can't complain though, because I actually really enjoy doing the super chat questions. I do too. Because you guys make it fun, honestly. I like the questions, no matter what they are, whether they're politics, or pro wrestling, or pop culture, whatever. I enjoy it, so that's why I stick it out instead. It's a great distraction. Also the buddy's nice, too. But who should we rate on Twitch? There's a bunch of people. There's actual Jake, Konyar, Trihex, Carter, Rayvana, Doodleburg. There's PrimeK. There's a lot of people on. So does anyone have a recommendation? A super chat just came in last minute, really quick. Zombie says, have you ever considered bringing on Midas Touch, David Pakman, Brian Cohen, Jesse Dolemore, etc.? I would have on all those people. Yeah, I would, too, for sure. Midas Touch is a little bit more normy Democrat. I didn't know the people behind them. I don't know the personalities. I just know the website. The name of the company, right? I'm a little bit normy Democrat for us. But you know what, they could be a good guest to have on, to the lead up, to the election, maybe a little friendly debate about Biden from people who are obviously not, it could be a friendly debate. Pakman, I would have him on.  Same with Brian. Yeah, I would have him on, though, too. But these are really big accounts. Jesse Dolemore. Why does that name sound familiar? He's also pretty big. I think he has a million subscribers or something. Oh. Yeah, he's kind of more like a social dem, a really nice guy. He might come on. I'd have him on. Yeah, I'd have him on. He's around the same subscriber as you and David. He's a little bit more. He's not too much more. Oh, okay, okay. He's got 600,000. Yeah, he seems like a nice guy. Okay, that's pretty good. He seems like a really nice guy. I've only had positive interactions with him, I think on Twitter and stuff. But yeah, it seems nice. Okay. Yeah. What do you all want us to do? I know that I'm asking most of the YouTube audience because we have a very small Twitch audience, but who should be Raid? Do you all say? I see, as for who's on right now, I see Kanyar is on. I see Homozy Goat is on. We should do Kanyar because I don't think we've ever raided Kanyar. Ray Vaughn is on. Oh, I think Ray Vaughn is just cross-streaming here. I go again. Dan from the web. Oh, okay. We did Dan from the web last time so we could do something different. Yeah. Let's try to... Send them over to Kanyar. Let's see. What are the people in the chat saying? Any suggestions from people when maybe I'm not following? I see Ray Vaughn and Lada Glats. I've never heard of Lada Glats. Who's that? How does that spell? I don't even see that. It is L-O-T-T-A-G-L-O-T-S. I'm not sure who that is. Let's raid Kanyar. Okay. Let me pull that up, hold on. It's Kanyar CC. Kanyar CC, up. Yes, C-O-N-U-R-E-C-C. All right, here we go. I'm gonna start the raid. Clicking that start raid button and I'm gonna say thanks for tuning in, everyone. Leftist Mafia. We'll see you all next week. Yeah. It's been a great show. Thank you all for watching. All right.


Studying Macbeth, let's discuss how he is presented in act one, scene two by the captain or the sergeant when they are discussing how Macbeth fights in the battlefield. The captain when describing the battle says, doubtful it stood and the assonance here emphasizes how Macbeth and Banquo really had the odds stacked against them. This similarly also shows how exhausted Banquo and Macbeth were, but they kept on going. The caesura here emphasizes that they were facing massive odds. The alliteration here in describing Mercedes McDonald shows the massive threat that he posed Macbeth. McDonald was shown to have been very likely to win because the captain says fortune on his damned crawl smiling and this personification of fortune here shows that everything was in McDonald's favor. Yet the adjective brave Macbeth really sets Macbeth up as a massive hero in our eye. Macbeth is disdaining fortune and the verb here disdaining shows he doesn't care about fortune, he still decides to fight even if the odds are against him. Macbeth fights like Valasminian carved out his passage and the ambit pentameter here shows just how admirable Macbeth is. Macbeth's bravery is shown through the violent verbs unseen and fixed. He won this battle.
