Hello everyone and welcome to the test. Hi, Eileen. Hi.  I can be hosty? Should I be hosty? No, I don't think so. Well, then someone needs to be hosty, no? But no, no, you could guide, but you don't have to sound so hosty. Oh, I see what you're saying. Hey, Gotham Heights, what's up? Like, welcome to the program. Like what? We're just talking. See, this is good. It's odd. It's so odd. Today we're gonna talk about, like, what, why? Can we just talk? All right. Then it feels so like I need to run down and a lot of bullet points and my rebuttals. And I'm like, oh, no, I just, I'm just gonna tell you about, I'm like, we ordered the $5 cravings, everyone, from Taco Bell. Do you know what that is? And the only reason why I know about it, because we were out and about, and I saw it on a screen on an ad. I don't really watch regular television, but they were playing basketball. And I said, we have to have that. We have to try Taco Bell cravings. Was this one we were getting barbecue that you saw? Yes, yes, on Friday, yeah. And we, I was already waist stuffed. And then I was like, oh my God, I want the $5 cravings, because in my head, eventually I'm gonna want the $5 cravings, but not at that point. I'm just saying. Well, no, because we were eating barbecue, so that would have been odd. But we just had the $5 cravings. So I'm a little, today, after the $5 cravings, I was worried like, oh, if I start feeling sick because of Taco Bell, and that should never happen. You didn't eat the cinnamon twists. I don't like cinnamon twists. Sorry, guys. I don't even really like nacho fries. Is that controversial? Cause it's just not good. The cheese is good, but I don't need those nacho fries. They're not that good. So you had the chalupa, the taco, and the burrito. The really cheesy bean burrito was really good. Yeah, the burrito was the surprise hit at a box, I think. I really like the chalupa. I usually like supreme tacos, so we didn't have the sour cream on the tacos that I was missing. Yeah, the taco was very expected, was very mid. My chalupa was a little cold. Probably would have liked it more if it hadn't been. No bueno. But then right before we went to a Filipino cafe to order for holiday, our holiday family gathering, and then we ate, why can't I think of the word right now? What did we eat? Pondasol, we had pondasol. And so that, plus the Taco Bell cravings, plus I think I have a problem with Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, made me really sleepy. We didn't get Pepsi Zero, we got Diet Pepsi. Yeah. Yeah. So what you're saying is, hey Sang, hey Clinton, what you're saying is we should expect an Eileen that is full of tacos.  Exactly, which might be more energetic because I feel like that food is bringing me down. So apologies. So yeah. Chusomida. Chusomida, hey, debak. Hey Paul Ford, hey we got people showing up, this is cool. But I have my matcha tea, thank you for making it to hopefully perk me up. I didn't want any more coffee because I had two cups of coffee already, two and a half, no, two, one. No, I think I had two plus the Diet Pepsi too much. Yeah. Yeah, so green tea gives you a little lift but not the coffee caffeine. Yeah. Also if you're like, don't you all live in the safe house? I don't have video switching set up. So Eileen's in her office, which actually looks like her, right, if she was in my office it would look like me. So you get our personalities. You have Jungkook's star field above you. I do, that's my, I turn it on just to give some light because it was looking weird. Cause I actually have this really cool lamp, floor lamp, but when I turn it on it looks like I have a halo. Like I'm, I don't know. Was that jelly? Yeah. I actually now because I just have a lot of video issues with my, I bought this new anchor video camera and I don't know if I like it. So that's a problem cause I just paid $16 for it. It looks all right right now. This is, I'm not using it. I'm using my laptop. I'm not using it. This is the one and it's like this thing. First of all, I just have some, I need to, I am going to redo my office. That is my project for January one. I'm going to redo my office and I don't think these walls are going to stay teal. This was my COVID walls. This was helping me through COVID and I think it did its job. But now I'm really inspired by a lot of YouTubers and on Pinterest. They're beautiful work from home setups. And I think I just need to give this a facelift. So it's going to start with the color of first. But even along with that. It's been five years now colors, time. And then along with that, I bought this camera and it's just not, I don't know what's happening. I've been working on the settings and everything but it doesn't give me this natural look. It just gives me a really like the light from my monitors is making me glow in a weird way. And yeah, it makes me look purple. And there's probably settings that you can do to adjust that, but that's not the point. The point of a good camera like that is that you shouldn't have to bother with it. Well, it's supposed to be really good. It's Onkar and everybody had really good ratings. So I think it's a user problem, but I can't figure it out. So now when I log into my Korean class, I just use my laptop because I look more natural.  Yeah, you're taking the same class that I took except I skipped the beginner class and you're wisely starting from the beginning because there was some stuff that she would refer to and I would be like, yeah, I didn't take that part. So anyway, are you liking it? Insta360 and Elgato have some of the best way. Okay. You know what, I tried the iPhone webcam option but what happens is it wants to use this, right? Instead of this. So then I'm like, oh, I can't see myself. No, because I use it on stream sometimes. And I have to look at the stream yard to figure out where it's pointing. Yeah. Oh, and you know what was funny with that? Okay, so the iPhone webcam option, I think again, it's a user problem, not me. I have to record a video for my Korean class. We have to show them that we can speak and we're using Flipgrid, if any of you know Flipgrid. And so I recorded it one week and the audio wasn't there. So I don't know why I couldn't record audio. And then I just kind of ditched it and didn't figure it out. And then this past week I did it again and I was like, oh no, the audio again. So I have to figure that situation out but I'm happy to just use my laptop as well. Yeah. So that I know is a foolproof and I only have two more weeks left of the class, so. Yeah, so you might have to stick with it, right? Yeah, although I have homework this week, so anyway. That's all about my camera. And my user problem. This live stream is just a pilot, it's just a test. So this is not the way the show will be necessarily but we're glad that folks have showed up and even if you're watching this on demand later, either in the comments or you can send an email, feedback at dailytechnewshow.com with any feedback because we wanna try out some ideas. The premise of the show is called What We're Streaming. Which we haven't talked about at all. I just talked about Taco Bell and my office. What, so the idea when we came up with the show title was that we would talk about what we are watching, listening to, et cetera. Like giving us kind of a wide open range of things to talk about. That is correct. And the only thing we watch, to be honest with you, at least I only watch, cause Tom watches more stuff, excuse me, than I do is just, I only watch Korean shows right now. Korean or Chinese shows, cause I am not very interested. There are very few Western shows that catch my eye right now. Yeah, like you watched some of the Marvel and Star Wars stuff still. Oh yeah, I watched all of that when they're out. Yeah, I watched all of that. And the crowd, I haven't started this one yet. Oh yeah, the crowd was really good. Yeah, the last final season will watch probably this week but then I like murders only in the building, I really like that. That's probably my favorite of the Western shows right now and then, yeah. Well, and Clinton says, I watch YouTube more than anything else these days. Yeah, same. We tend to watch a lot of YouTube now too. Yeah, I watch a lot of vloggers. So before, so we went on a trip to Korea in September and before we went on that trip, I watched a ton of vloggers who visited Korea and they were beautiful vlogs and then I got looped into that world and it was mostly a lot of like Japanese vloggers or some American vloggers that were visiting Korea for the first time to get ideas on what was really hot and what was really good to see and take in. Cause the purpose of our Korea trip was not touristy stuff, it was, well, it was BTS. There's a lot of BTS related. That was, I knew what to do there but then it was like cafes and really just visiting neighborhoods. So I was just watching, like you Clinton, I was watching a ton, a ton, a ton of YouTube and then I've just been watching a lot of vloggers. I've been subscribing to a lot of female Korean vloggers who live in Korea but speak English and their blogs are really good cause I want to go back to Korea someday and so just following them is just good knowledge. And then lately we've been watching the woman in Svalbard. Somehow I got recommended to watch video about the polar night and I didn't realize she was a pretty big YouTuber and has a really big social presence and I really liked her because she has her dog named Grim and I don't have any desire to live there but it's beautiful and she is such a great vlogger and she explains things well and her cinematography is really great. It's so beautiful. She makes and shows how gorgeous this time of year is to visit. So I've just been watching a lot of ton and ton and ton and ton of YouTube. So Cecilia, that's your name, Cecilia. Cecilia. Yeah. How are we going to differentiate these from cord killers? Well, because they don't talk about Korean shows. Well, I do but that's- You do? Yeah, I'll talk about what we're watching at the one segment where we talk about what we're watching, but yeah. Cord killers is news about cutting the cord. This is what are Eileen and I watching or listening to. We'll talk about music too. This is very consumer focused versus the experts on those shows. And this is very personal. This is us talking about what we do, right? Yeah, because yeah. Because what? No, no. I'm just like, you guys will talk about techie things. Yeah. I haven't been in the tech world in a long time. So I have- Although you started this stream talking about your cameras. So it was very techie things. I know, I know. But it's very consumer oriented. Yeah. It's my POV. Well, cord killers is consumer too, but it's more of a wide open, like, you know, newsy thing. This is just, what are you and I doing from a personal standpoint? Yeah, we have our Netflix queue. We have our Korean music shows weekly that we watch. But they're on hiatus right now for like a few weeks through the Christmas. But we watch a show called Music Bank, Music Core, Inkigayo, those are the three shows. And they generally have all the same K-pop artists on those shows every week, but they have different hosts. And I don't know, they have, you know, even if an artist performs on all three shows, they have different like costumes and set design and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, those are fun hours to watch. And it's nice at the end of the week. It's like something I don't really have to think about. And it's just music. And I can be exposed to the latest and greatest new K-pop bands. Because it's the other thing we're really into is K-pop. We don't like it. Yeah. Yeah, if we don't like it, if we like go, oh, or if we've seen that, we gave that band a chance in the first show, we may not watch their performances in the next two shows. It's just, you know. Or we just have it on. I like to take charts on those things. Yeah, you like to know what's in the top 10 or 20. And why? Because they're all different. They all have different charting systems. So it's a surprise what makes like a top 10 on one show versus another show and another show. Anyway, we're learning all about this. We only started watching it a year ago. And some take into account, some take into account streaming numbers, some take into account more social numbers, some take into account more audience number. I don't know. I don't even really know yet. Yeah, it's different formulas. It's still a mystery. But we like watching that on the weekends and then we have our Netflix shows. And I've been getting back into Korean dramas. Since 2018, I've been watching a lot of Asian shows since we moved into this house. And I even tracked. I was trying to watch like three or four Korean dramas a month. And some of them were older dramas and then you can catch up. But I think in the last year, I kind of fell out of it because I was listening to more K-pop and watching more K-pop and watching more K-pop vlogs and shows. YouTube stuff, yeah. Yeah. And so then I fell out of the K-drama stuff but I also feel like there wasn't that much out there that was good. And now I feel like I'm rediscovering again all of these K-dramas that are amazing. And there are still a lot from the past to even catch up on. But I didn't even want to do that for a while. Now I do. Now I'm back on this. So. Zang wants to pick between vigilante or the worst of evil for any K-drama? I don't even know any of those, honestly. Let me look it up. I'm not familiar with either of those. We're watching My Demon and we're like up to speed. We're watching that as it comes out. That comes out twice a week on Friday and Saturday. So it airs in Korea and then it comes to Netflix the next day but kind of the same day just the way the time changes are. And then we just finished Castaway Diva and we were sort of dabbled in twinkling watermelon and welcome to Samdolri but we haven't followed up on either one of those. Although I think we're gonna. We just watched the first episode of those. Worst of evil, interesting. They're both on Hulu, I guess. I would maybe do that one. But both look good. Both have really good actors. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know either. Who's headed Jalanti? Or I'm sorry, Worst of Evil. Who's the actors? Well, the lead is the same guy and welcome to Samdi. The weather guy. Okay, yeah. The guy who doesn't want to transfer to Seoul. Yeah, and then the other lead, Wee Ha-Joon was in Squid Game. He was the brother of the guy in the Squid Game who fell off the cliff, but he was a police, but we know he's alive. I know he's alive. I mean, we don't know. Whoever's gonna watch season two of Squid Game, y'all know that that man did not die jumping off that cliff. Sang says the watermelon is nice. That's good to know. Oh, yeah, we definitely want to watch that. And then, so maybe that one. All the way, 8.6 versus, hold on. Vigil, okay. These are with my drama list rankings. Okay, so I use it, by the way. Sang, I use a site called My Drama List, and I keep track of all of my dramas is mydramalist.com. And both Vigilanti and Worst of Evil are 8.6 and that's really good.   So I think you can't lose with either. I think it's just depending, I haven't read the synopsis, so if one synopsis sounds better than the other, I think you just pick that and then go for it. But they're both on Hulu. We don't really watch stuff on Hulu. The only thing that we watched was Moving, which was probably one of the best of the year. That was like such a great show. Big Mouse was the other one we watched on Hulu. Oh yeah, Big Mouse was good too. Yeah, that was really good. So yeah, I haven't been watching consistently, but now over the last two months, have really been watching. So, anyway. What do you think of My Demon so far? My Demon, you guys, if you haven't watched, it's honestly most people that I know that watch dramas, including my entire Korean class, everybody's watching My Demon. So that is on Netflix. And if you watched Sweet Home, one of the monsters on Sweet Home is also a monster in a different way. He is the demon. And the demon in this show is someone who looks for desperate people and offers them a contract to help them for 10 years and after 10 years is over. And usually it's like desperate people who are not good people. Then he gives them a contract and in that contract, he will help them get whatever they desire. But after 10 years is up, he's gonna take their soul and they're gone. They're gonna get a purgatory, bye-bye. And that's his job. And so the female lead is the daughter of a very rich family, but she was adopted and she's also very smart. The adoption is very important. She is very smart and her adopted mother gave her a part of the company to run. I think it had to do with bakery, baked goods. But there is a struggle for power who would take over. Should the matriarch die? And there's also somebody trying to kill the female lead and we're trying to figure out who and why. But she meets the demon on a blind date and through fate they meet again and they meet again and they meet again. But it's a very serious drama. Well, no, it's a serious drama with some romantic comedy elements. And yeah, it is a typical corporate employer contract type show, yes. But she never signed a contract with him. That is a spoiler. A little bit, minor spoiler.  So she does eventually enlist the demon to help her out. But I like those typical corporate contract stuff. They're pretty formulaic, but I think the win is if they do it more creatively than others or just really done well. So like if you ever saw the show Business Proposal, that's one of my favorite shows ever. And that is a kind of a contract type thing. There's a little business proposal in my demon. It's not the same tone as that, but there's a little element that's similar. There's a little sky castle even in this with the family. What was the really popular one where the guy woke up as a seven-year-old in the rich family that he had worked for? Oh, that's reborn rich. There's a little reborn rich in this too, although not with the time travel aspect, but just again with the family dynamics, the chaebol dynamics. It feels more like the kind of K-Drama story we were getting three or four years ago. You know, it's not, like since Squid Game, I think the stories have kind of broken out of the mold a little one. This one feels like it's the, not in a bad way, but it's the typical mold, you know. Yeah, it's just about, do they do it well or not? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think they're doing it well? I love it. I just said, I said at the top, I think it's so good. I think I would totally recommend my demon to anybody just because it's got a lot. There's a lot of stuff in it. It's not just a romance at all. Oh, it's 8.7. It's doing better than the Vigilante and the other show. So just saying. And we're halfway through now. We're halfway through the series because there's gonna be 16 episodes and they just aired episode eight yesterday. We're gonna have to come up with our spoiler policy. Cause if we're gonna talk about my demon, kind of one of the fun things is to talk about what's happening and what we think's gonna happen next and that sort of thing. Yeah. I think, yeah. Well, we just have to say this is this week's, if you're not caught up, skip it. Yeah. Well, with Sword and Laser, we just hold them to the end. We like, okay, from now on out, it's spoilers. So if you don't wanna be spoiled, go away. So we could do something like that. Yeah. Okay. We'll see. Yeah. Did you see that the glory was in the first half of the year, like the number three Netflix show? It was the number one Korean Netflix show, for sure. I'm trying to find the actual. Well, it's well deserved. Those of you who haven't seen the glory, it's tough though. If you don't want to see extreme bullying played out on screen, then maybe that's not for you. But once you get through it, there's a bit of revenge that kicks in, not even a bit. There's a lot about the protagonist of the series getting revenge, and it becomes a very satisfying show at the very end. But it is rough to watch, especially at the beginning. So I understand why that show did well because if you love K-dramas, I mean, it won all the awards last year in Korea. And yeah, I'm not surprised that it's like the third highest Netflix show. That's great though. In front of Wednesday. I mean, sorry guys, I did not love Wednesday. So that was not, it was okay. But I think maybe I had high expectations because we saw it a little bit later than everybody. And I was like, what? I had a hard time finishing it. Like I didn't really care. Also, I think a lot of people watched Wednesday in December of 2022, and these numbers are for January 23 through June. Oh, so then, yeah. So then Wednesday being number four is really good. It's actually pretty good, yeah. The night agent was number one, Ginny and Georgia was number two. Didn't you say season, it was season one of the glory? Season one of the glory, yeah. That was also in 2022. Yeah, that's true. Well, it carried a little bit in January and then March we've got season two or the second part of the glory. Is that, then is it all considered season one, part one and part two? Ooh, good question because it is part two of season one. Yeah. So I think it is all considered season one. So there you go. So yeah, it's probably a bunch of people hearing about it. Part two comes out and they say, oh, well, I'll just watch the whole thing and that boosts it up. Yeah. But it's definitely one where we had watched it and so when it showed up on this list, people were like, what is that? And we're like, oh, well. Oh, welcome to another good program we should watch. Indeed. Yeah, no, it's fun to see other countries chart on that Netflix chart because there was also, wasn't there a few Latin American countries as well? Lorena, Lorena's no-seller season three was, was let's see, one, two, three, four, five, seven, number seven and then physical 100. So good, so good. That's another Korean, but that was a reality show, a competition reality show. I think it was the most popular reality show maybe. Okay. I'm trying to tell. I think it was Kaleidos, no Kaleidoscope was fiction. Yeah. Number 15 on the list, right in front of Crash Course in Romance. Which we didn't watch. My sister watched it and they loved it. So that was during a time when I was like, I don't know if I can watch Korean dramas right now. Cause the other thing about Korean dramas, if you don't already watch, they could be very long. There's only 16 and on Netflix, oftentimes 12 episodes, but usually they're 16 and they could be as long as an hour and a half each. So you're not gonna get seasons two, three, four of these series per se. Unless it's like a Netflix homegrown, cause that's why I guess Squid Game is gonna get their second season. But a lot of these shows traditionally don't have second seasons. It's just of late, of the last like five years you're starting to see more shows get a second season.  They do have those in Korea. But when we're talking about like drama dramas or even rom-coms, they're generally like 16 episodes and they're done. And then those actors move on to a new, completely new show. Or they're some of the most popular actors sometimes have two dramas airing at the same time. Yeah. Just season twos are unusual. Usually it's one story, one season, you're 16 episodes and then you're done. Yeah, there's, I'm pretty sure there's not gonna be a My Demon season two. I'm pretty sure. Probably not. But you never know, I don't know. Anyway, that actor's going to the military anyway.  Unless there's just a different game. Shopping Sweet Home from their main guys going into the military too and somehow they've got season three coming. That's confusing. He's kind of not the main guy because I feel like they've introduced a lot more. If you watch Sweet Home, they've introduced a ton of characters and actually the girl, the sister looking for the brother is probably more of the consistent lead now and she'll be in season three for sure. Yeah, they set it up for her to be the main person. That makes sense. And she's a very hot actress on that Korean scene. But yeah. The Z. Yeah, so we watched My Demon, which is very good. It's eight episodes in and there's gonna be eight more and that'll wrap up in January. We watched, we finished Sweet Home season two. That is a show that they gave you all of the episodes and we just kind of finished it in like a week. And then I'm watching Singles Inferno which is a very guilty pleasure of mine. It is a Korean dating show, Korean reality dating show and it's like two episodes a week. It's on, this is season three and it's my favorite reality show. I don't know, or dating reality show of all time. I cannot watch the, I used to watch The Bachelor. I watched it for 10 years. I'm one of the OGs and then I left because I can't stand it. Because, and all these dating shows are the same. They like date for the show and then they're not really together. It's very rare that they stay together. So I get that, but I just got tired of it, you know, in the United States. And then I never watched Love Island. I never watched any of those others that got really, really racy. But this, because dating culture in Korea is so different and a little bit more chase. It's actually much more sweet and actually I think there's a lot more sincerity even though I know that these contestants want, you know, a little bit of limelight so they can grow their social media profile. They all do, you know, they don't go on this show only to find love. Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but they often do at least for this like short amount of time, but anyway, the way it's executed and the way Korean culture is a lot more sincere in their, you know, efforts. That's why I like Singles Inferno quite a bit. And I was really excited. And the first, or the season three just started this past week. So we got three episodes and we're starting, we're kind of in the thick of it. And there's just, there's a big, big community that loves Singles Inferno. And I've been able to convert a few friends of mine who are now watching.   So that's what I'm watching that you're not watching. You're watching a lot of things that I'm not watching too. Well, yeah, no, so Singles Inferno was number 194 on the Netflix list, which is still high up given the like 70,000 shows that are up there. Oh, okay, okay, okay, all right. There's a lot of shows on that list. You, what I like with Singles Inferno is watching your reaction to it. So I sort of consume it in passing and you were like freaking out at the end of the first episode, I think it was. Yeah, yeah. When the twist happened. Yeah, well, it's the first time in Singles Inferno history that there's actually two, basically what happens is a bunch of contestants, half female, half male, end up on an island and that island is called Inferno and there's like kind of bare bones. It's almost like glamping basically. So they have to make their own food, and they have to kind of survive in the island by themselves. It's not like survivor at all, but it's just, they don't have a lot of amenities and they have to play like competition games. Anyway, the point of this is to meet another person and hopefully you find the person you want to be with, but in the process, you can date and if you match up, like if you choose, I want to be with Guy A and he wants to be with you on a particular day, you too can go to Paradise, which is off the island and then go to this swanky hotel and have an amazing evening of food and you could talk to each other, you could find out, because on the island, you can't find out age and you can't find out occupation, but if you go to Inferno, or sorry, Paradise with someone, you can find out their personal information. So anyway, there's a bit of a game involved in this besides the whole dating and then being on the island with not a lot of amenities.  This season at the end of the first episode, you find out there's actually two Inferno's. There's another island with another group of people. And I swear to God, my friends are one. I was like, oh, is the second one like worse than the first one or something? But it turned out that they're equivalent in there. Very equivalent. One has a plane wreck, like it's like an old plane wrecked on the island and the other one has a boat that's a wrecked on the island. And anyway, if you've been watching the show for the last two seasons, like that was jaw-dropping. Oh, what was that? What is it? I don't know. Why do I get balloons sometime? Also when I do this. Yeah, no, you have the new FaceTime reactions thing on. Oh, there it is. Yeah, you have to turn off reactions in the macOS. Yeah, because sometimes I do things and the balloons come up in my YouTube class. And when we do this, like that definitely happens. And then everybody's like, what? Anyway, that's Singles Inferno. I'm really enjoying it. And that is also gonna take me through the new year because they have, I don't know, at least four more weeks of shows on Singles Inferno. And it's, yeah. Anyway, I'm just texting my friends about it. Like, oh my God, did you watch it? Please text me after episode three. So yeah, that's my demon Singles Inferno, the music shows. But the music shows are kind of on hiatus till after the first of the year. So we've been watching a lot of music, end of your music specials, like award shows and stuff like that.  Right? I think.  I'm watching Fargo and that's great. I think it may be their best season or certainly one of their best seasons yet. That's on Hulu. I've been watching For All Mankind, which is an Apple TV plus show. I don't have any K-dramas that I'm watching without you, though I sometimes do. So it just depends. I watched The Stranger season one and two. I watched My Love From the Star. But yeah, I'm watching my demon with you. And then like I said, welcome to Sondory and Twinkling Watermelon, maybe. We sort of started them and we're seeing, we're probably gonna keep going, right? Are we? Mm-hmm. Yeah. But you wanna stop and watch The Crown and then we won't have time to watch those until we finish the show. Do you not wanna watch The Crown? No, I do. It's just I don't wanna just sit there all night and watch The Crown and Twinkling Watermelon and Soft. It's just a lot. There's too much, I wanna do other things. Yeah, yeah. So maybe we won't watch The Crown. I don't know, we'll see. Well, we kinda know what happens. That's the thing about The Crown is like, we know what happens. Well, especially, I think that's one of the reasons it's not getting as good of reviews now is that it's closer to now. And so more people are like, yeah, that's fresh in my memory, right? You either didn't even live through the events before or they were so far long ago, you're like, yeah, I kinda remember that, but it was fun to revisit. Now it's like, okay, but this was only 20 years ago. Yeah, I guess that's why I'm like, oh, do I need to see an actress play Kate? Like, she's alive and doing well. Like, I don't need to, I don't really need to, honestly, I don't know that I need to watch the William and Kate situation.  Cause it's actually pretty, Until you watch it. Pretty present. How will you know? Well, I do know that Claire Foy is in it, right? So she, I think there's flashbacks, yeah. Yeah, that's kind of cool to see her, but the meat of her episodes are season one and two, and I'm pretty happy with those. So, I don't know, I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm not as excited to see, I feel like- You don't have to watch it. It's not like you have to, there's no law. Oh, you have to watch it, right? You have to watch it for court dealers. I don't have to watch it. I just want to, at some point. No, but I'm just saying, if we watch that, I'm not gonna want to also sit and watch the other shows. It's like we finish- Well, yeah, there's only so much time in a day, that makes sense. Yeah, we just park the other stuff, which would have been parking because there's been so many things. It's just always so frustrating when you start something and then park it, and then you don't get back to it, but like we did with Taxi Driver, and we were like, oh, wait, what happened before? Yeah, but then Taxi Driver that season, the second season was not that good, so that was a problem, but yeah. Anyway, that's what we're watching. And then on YouTube, Leneverse. Yeah, we watch a lot of YouTube. We watch a lot of variety shows on YouTube. We just watched Running Man this afternoon. That's a whole hour that's not one of our shows. What was on Vicki, but still, yeah. Well, yeah, it's just the time. So I don't know how everybody does it, how everybody watches all their shows. And maybe we watch more shows than everybody, but yeah, it's still a lot. That's why I don't go to movies. I'm like, oh, I don't have time for a movie. Which now is like three-hour movies. Cecilia and Svalbard, I got Carrie. I've got Anna Lee. I've got Anna and Sol. I've got to keep up Kiyun, like all these people. I don't have time for a three-hour movie that I'm gonna have to pay $10 for popcorn and have to drive to the theater and sit and wait 30 minutes of trailers that I don't care about, that I could watch at home, to finally watch that movie that's three hours long. Like that's just- Now the- I don't have any interest in that. The response could be, you're going to have fewer BTS related videos, no BTS bombs and stuff, with them all going into the military, but I don't think that's true. I think you're going to have lots of content. That's what I mean. That's why, so I don't have time for movies. I don't have time to go to the movies. I was trying to, because you wanted to talk about BTS going to the military. I was trying to- Oh, I mean, I should, we probably should have done that when I said that the My Demon actor is going into the military, but that's the biggest news for me of the week of what I was watching was just all of my mutuals. I'm on TikTok and all of my mutuals, including myself being very sad this week that the remaining members of BTS who were not in the military are now in the military, which means communication is cut off, which sucks, but we do know that they've left us and they've prerecorded a ton of stuff. I'm sure there's music, there's lots of vlogs and content coming and one of the members is coming back in six months. So we're going to be on all over again and six months isn't too long from now. And then we get Mockily and Video Games and who knows what else. Yeah. So it's sad right now. This is just a shell shock week for those of us that are army, but it's going to pick right back up again. So that was, I mean, I guess you were telling me like, what are the things that you're watching? I'm like, well, I'm watching a lot of BTS eulogy videos because everybody's really sad. Like remember this, remember this?  Like they're not dead, they're just in the military. They're coming back. Yeah.   They just have to do this. It's what they have to do. And it's like, oh no. Anyway, there's not much to say other than that's another huge part of my week this week was looking at that stuff, which it just still keeps coming, so. Well, one of the biggest discoveries of the week is that J-Hope no longer looks like someone who's afraid of bugs. That was me, yes, I pointed that out and people love that. So if you know, listen, there is a lot of BTS and this family talk. So every once in a while, if you're watching us, we will definitely bring them up because they are very present in our lives, even though they're taking a break from entertainment. Yeah, I think we need to apologize for it. That's just, yeah, that's just what we are. That's what we will talk about. Anyway, if you must know, J-Hope, one of the members, used to be, at least we think, used to be very afraid of bugs. And now there's a picture of him in his military suit and he looks very intense and fierce. And I just pointed out that this man no longer is afraid of bugs. I just know it. He's going to come back from the military. He's going to be squashing them. He doesn't even care. He won't even care. Bugs will be afraid of him. He's going to be so tough. The look on his face. I can't even imagine. So anyway, we'll see how they change when they come out of the military, but I'm pretty sure people not be afraid of bugs anymore.  They're so funny. It's so enjoyable. And that's another thing that we watch is vlogs from a lot of these groups that are them not singing, but doing fun stuff. So Lena vs. Lacerophans. And pretty much anything those ladies do is just fun. But we've been watching the twice one too. And I know, I don't know if Dark Redeemer is listening to this or not, but he's one of the DTNS folks who's a big twice fan. And they're doing, they call it squid game challenges, but it's really just like obstacle course challenges, right? Yeah, yeah, but they're very scared of heights. Some of them are very scared of heights. Like can't even, right? Like just refuse to do it. But it's just fun to watch these K-pop idols that are very normally like, their performance is very fierce or they're very glammed up and they're like now, no makeup. And they're just wearing sweats or whatever and they're just doing average things or just doing things that you may do in your office company party, which is like do a ropes course or something like that. So it's just fun to see that. It's just like way back in the day when there were battle of the network stars and stuff like that, when your favorite TV show people would do that. It's kind of like that, you know? I don't even think we have anything like that anymore, right? Like it's more about like, oh, there's a special. Yeah, it's like they'll do- Did they ever do like a special? No, they never did like a special- They're like celebrity big brother and I'm a celebrity getting out of here and but not like- Or what's that? What's that WWE thing? What's that thing where they do? They jump like a course. Oh my God. See, I don't watch American stuff anymore. But you know where they're like, they've got timed trials and they've got it like- American Ninja Warrior? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's what it is. Like sometimes there's celebrities that do that here. Yeah. But kind of not anymore. But yeah, it's not battle of the network stars where the point was we gathered celebrities together. It's usually like there's a thing that happens. Yeah, Ambassador to Domo like Gladiator where it's a normal show that they add celebrities to or something like that. Right. It's like a stunt casting kind of thing. Yes, stunt casting kind of thing. Yeah. But this is their own show. Like each group has their own sort of variety show and they do their own. And then usually groups are at least five, four or five members.  They'll like one of my favorites is the band Seventeen and they did their own version. I guess, see, now I didn't watch the movie The Grudge. So I don't know, but they called it The Grudge and they went to some village and they were trying to just do like ghost hunter kind of stuff. Like, oh, we have our app and we just want to know if there's a spirit here. Turns out there's like mysterious deaths and stuff happening. And anyway, it was just kind of funny.  But they're also ghost hunters and they're these fake people that live in this fake village and we're going to create a scenario and they're going to sort of improv their way in and out of that situation, which can be really, really funny. So that's what I like watching these days, more of that kind of stuff. It feels like, yeah, I don't know. I just know more people that are just watching more YouTube stuff than, you know, because I feel like there's so much to watch and not much to watch. Meaning like there's so much available but not everybody's into all that stuff or this, you know, like I have a hard time with choosing if there's too many choices. I'm like, oh, I don't know. You know, when you do the doom, you always tell me I'm doom scrolling on YouTube or doom scrolling on Netflix. I'm like, I don't know. I can find one and watch. Yeah, you do. You tell me I'm doom scrolling. And so I'm like, oh, okay. Well, well, not always, but you've told me in the past that I can't scroll. I probably have said it at least once, yeah. I'm like, well, I don't know. I just can't decide. Because I'm trying to find something that you might like, but I may not want to watch it, but I'm trying to find something that we both want to watch. Yeah, it is harder when, and I have the reverse problem too. Like if I'm just sitting there alone at YouTube, I'll be like, oh, I should watch that with Eileen. You know, let me save that. That's the other thing is why doesn't YouTube or any of these services, Max, Peacock, figure out an easy way for you to say, we're both watching. Put it on both our profiles. Cause we have this thing where it's like, oh, can I watch that on my profile? Cause I want it to count. I want the algorithm to know I watched it, or we'll watch it on your profile. And then I'll be like, well, I should probably watch it on my profile. So it knows that I liked it. And that happens on Netflix too, where we have to remember like, whoa, which profile were we watching this on? Should be able to just easily double counted, right? When my sister's in town, we're probably going to want to watch Gwangsang Creature. Oh yeah, that looks really good. Haksaeo Jun and Han Sohee. So it's a series and there's monsters in 1945 Korea. So anyway, we might want to, this might be one that we want to watch with my sister and her brother-in-law. They could like start watching it with us and then they could finish it, you know, at home. I don't know, we'll see. We haven't really mentioned any music. Do we need to mention any music? Well, maybe not this time around. Aren't you tired? I'm tired. How long do these have to go? As long as we want. I'm tired. I have to study my Korean soon. So if, I was trying to transition us into talking to the audience about what kinds of things we should do. Oh yeah, what should we do? What do you guys want to hear? Yeah. What kind of stuff would you like to hear us talk about? So you've heard some examples. What is JJYPD? The genius, oh great escape. Oh, you mean like that in Devil's Plan? Okay. But what does JJYPD stand for? And then another agent of mystery reference too. I don't know what that means. Cause I know JYP. I don't think it's JYP. And JYP, I don't think makes shows like this. Man, one day we'll talk about JYP. If we had started this last week. Oh, JJY is the PD. PD JJY. Okay, I got it. Thank you. Okay. So that's like, there's, there's not PD. Oh, so PD JJY, Jong Jong Young. Okay. The genius, great escape girls. Oh, Devil's Plan. I got it, got it. Okay. I didn't watch, I really want to watch Devil's Plan only because Sung Kwon from 17 is in it, but maybe it will. But again, there's just too many to watch. Yeah, there's so much. But yeah, what do you, you know, live, live chat people can say right now, but anybody that's watching this later. Again, comments, feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com. We're just talking. Give us ideas, give us thoughts. We're just chatting. And I had too much Taco Bell, so my energy is like not great. Your energy was so good. What are you talking about? Like, you're like, oh, I'm probably not going to talk a lot. My energy's bad. And then you like knocked it out of the park. So I don't know what you're like trying to sandbag people. Oh, you want to hear about music? Okay. We didn't really talk about music. I mean, we did. We talked about the music shows, but we didn't really talk about Ambassador Domo. I don't know if we want to include food in a show called What We're Streaming. Ew. That's sad. Yeah. Although I think like if we were to have done the show last week, we talked about where we went to eat because we weren't, I was just hungry for Gimbab. And then we had an amazing Gimbab and Tokpoki. It was mostly K-dramas, Louie. It was all K-dramas. 90%. Yeah. So I'm definitely watching more K-dramas again. Picked it up when I kind of stopped. A little bit on the crown. Yeah. A little bit on the crown. Yeah. How much though? Well, because we haven't finished it. I don't know if we need to. Do we really need to? Because it's the new, it's all the people that are alive. The show is me learning these things live. All these people that are still alive. I had no idea that you were like, I don't even know if I want to watch it, which is fine. Well, because we lived it. And I also lived part of what they just showed. Well, no, I did live part of the first half of this last season. For sure. But that was more curiosity of how they were going to handle Diana. And now I'm like, yeah, do I really care? I mean, honestly, they're probably just overdramatizing all the stuff with William and Harry and Camilla and all the people that are still around. I'm curious. How many episodes is it even? I don't think it's that many because I'm curious. And they're not that long, right? Like, I think they're just our around about an hour. So it's one, two, three, six. There's six episodes. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But I think, yeah, we'll probably watch it. I mean, just to have it. I don't have to really pay attention. You know, because they're all speaking in English. There's a thing about Korean dramas. Like you have to, you have to pay attention. And you, because you're reading the subtitles. Yeah. Unless you speak Korean, which we're learning, but we're not there yet. Yeah. Brian Hibbet just texted me the castelos country band. Video on the CMT YouTube channel covering how you like that. And good for you by Olivia Rodrigo. I'm told to watch this later. All right. Country how you like that. Blackpink. Yeah. Country version of Blackpink. Hey, if Windsor. Or Kensington Palace could cover. Yeah. If they do, do, do, do, then they can. Right. Buckingham. Buckingham Palace. Yeah. I, Alex, I really like for all mankind. I feel like this season though is one where if you already know, you like it, you're going to like it, but it's not a season that's going to change anybody's mind. But it's, it's fun. I always look forward to sitting down and watching it.  I agree that the show is good, but I didn't watch it. I only watched like the first like three episodes of the first season. I thought it was really good, but didn't keep going. Yeah. Too many things. Well, you have to keep watching it for court killers. And I just had other interests. No. I don't know. That's not another one. No. It shows you how I watch the show. I only watch Korean shows anyway. So I wouldn't watch court killers. I'm working on doing court killers in Korean, but it's going to be a while. So yeah, I won't, I won't expect you to watch it. I mean, is Justin and Brian going to learn Korean too? Justin doesn't host the show. Only Brian. Okay. Well, Brian, it's going to have a hard time. I don't think he's going to learn Korean. Yeah. No, I would have to translate all his stuff or subtitle it. All right. But yeah, let us know, you know, like, okay, you've seen us chatting, chatting and John feedback and daily tech news show. Comments in the YouTube like and subscribe. The idea is to make this a show on YouTube, like fairly relaxed and just chatting with folks while we, while we do it. I know a few people have already asked if it's going to be a podcast down the road, maybe, you know, I think, I think for starters though, don't we just want to do the, do the video? I think so. Yeah. Simple. Start small. Start small. And if you guys like it, then let us know. Any last words before we end the. Just that you've been asking me to do this for years. No, I told people that. Oh, okay. I've pitched Eileen many ideas. This is the first one that worked. And I kind of thought you were going to try to back out today for a minute, but you didn't. Yeah, I felt bad because I know you really want to hear it. Here's what, here's what you all have to do. You have to tell Eileen how awesome she is and was so that she knows that this is not a bad idea because that, that's what you're afraid. Like nobody cares. Nobody. Nobody cares. That's what you always say.  That's what I'm trying. He's like, let her know. Let me know. We'll be a little bit more. I was like not feeling it today. So hopefully, you know, we're good for not feeling. I can't wait to feel it a hundred percent. I have one, one segment sounder that I want to play before we go. We're going to use that one whenever we need to check, check a fact. That's not even our favorite group of mine at all. But I just like that it says fact check. And there's another song called what the hell?  Maybe we'll use that for a segment. Yeah. So segment ideas. Need segment ideas. All right, everyone. Well, happy Sunday. As we reach the end of our goodbye, everyone. Thanks, Sang. Have a good rest of your weekend.


Hey, what's up you two. I'm Zeke and welcome to the dream green show and this episode I'm going to show you guys how you could have almost made $100,000 just from following what I've been telling you guys to do for the very longest. Now everyone always walks up to me. Hey, what should I invest into? What should I buy? Should I buy this? Should I buy that? And the first thing I always say, I say, Hey, buy stocks of companies that you actually use support and own. Now, for example, there are many guys out there that have bought every single pair of Jordans that ever came out, but they're on any shares of Nike inside of their portfolio at all that just don't make sense. Now the example that I'm going to give you guys today, I've seen time after time after time after time again. This is the most real life example that I could give you guys to where you could have made $100,000 just from investing into companies that you actually use on or know about or see every single day. And that company is Apple. People out there buy the iPhone every single year, the biggest and baddest new iPhone. There are two iPhones released every single year, but let's just say they buy one. They buy the biggest, baddest, newest iPhone every single year for the last 10 years, right? So I'm going to show you guys what would have happened if you would about Apple stock every single year instead of the newest iPhone every single year. How much money you could have made. That's right, guys. Your iPhone not going to get you rich, but they're stocking. Well, maybe your phone can get you rich depending on what you're doing inside your phone. But for the most part, this Nike stable and strong company, this is probably one of the richest companies in the world, a trillion dollar market evaluation. This company is saying, guys, but before we dive into this video, this video is brought to you by Weeble. Sign up now by clicking the link down in the description. Just for signing up, you get a free stock value up to $300. And if you deposit just $5, that's right, just $5. You get another free stock value up to $2,000. So that's $2,300. Cabana. So don't miss out on that opportunity. Also, I left a link in the description to BlockFi over there. If you deposit some cryptocurrency to BlockFi, you can earn up to extra $250 in cryptocurrency and over there on BlockFi, just from depositing your cryptocurrency, you can earn interest on your cryptocurrency every single month. Right now, I'm up around $300 in cryptocurrency, just from impassive income every single month over there, guys. So I'm gonna leave both of those links down in the description. But enough talking, let's go ahead and dive straight into this video. Welcome back, Germans. So we're gonna go back over the last 10 years. I know this is something that you probably, you're looking for the next big bad stock. This is something that you probably don't want to hear, but this is what you need to know, guys.  Go down, hit the thumbs up button, hit that subscribe button, hit that notification bell, because I'm gonna keep it real with you. Everyone is telling you about these companies that have the potential to grow in the future, but I'm telling you about a company that is doing amazing right now and I'm not gonna beat around the bush. This is one of the best investments I've had inside of my portfolio and I will be messed up if I didn't tell you guys. I'm not gonna tell you about a new company every single week.  So let's just go back to the last 10 years and say we bought the biggest baddest iPhone every single year for the last 10 years and 10 years ago, I think it was the iPhone 4S. Is that the first iPhone that had video on it? I think it is the first iPhone that had video on it, but let's go ahead and pull that up right quick. All right, guys. So here we are, the first original price of the iPhone 4S was $649. So here we are on portfolio visualizes. Let's say we started back in 2010. Around 10 years ago, it's 2021, but 2021 is now over. Let's say we bought our first iPhone for $649. Every year after that, let's look at what the price of the iPhone is right now. iPhone Pro, let's say we buying the biggest and baddest guys. I know one point iPhone got up to like $900 right after the iPhone 4S. Around the five, I said buy. And right now, the base pro model is 1000. The Pro Max is 1100. But if we're looking at the biggest baddest model, it's around $1300, $1299. So let's just say every year after that, averaging out, we're paying around $1000 per phone. So let's just say we're buying $1000 worth of Apple every single year. So we're gonna reinvest this annually, not monthly. So that's us buying one new iPhone every single year. Let's go ahead and scroll down. We're gonna rebalance. We're gonna reinvest our dividends. We're gonna invest 100% of our portfolio into Apple. And then we're gonna hit analyze portfolio. And there we go, guys, starting off with the iPhone 4S with $649 and buying stocks of Apple instead of buying the new phone of Apple every single year. We'll have close to $100,000 worth of Apple. That is insane. That's just 10 iPhones, 10 iPhones, right? Now we have almost $100,000 worth of Apple. It's just the last 10 years if we would have bought stock instead of Apple. So what I'm trying to tell you guys, just look at this. Look at this. This is completely insane, guys. So what I'm trying to tell you guys is that you can still buy the Apple iPhone. But if you're spending $1000 every single year on the Apple iPhone, make sure that you have at least $1000 worth of Apple stock inside of your portfolio, right? So don't buy a new iPhone until you have the same amount of value worth of Apple stock that you bought that exact same year. So let's say the iPhone 13 is about to come out and it's worth $1100. I would need to invest $1100 earlier that year into Apple before I go buy the new iPhone. So that means I have a year to invest $1100 into Apple. So let's just say I'm investing around $100 a month into Apple, right? So that leaves me with $100 to invest into Apple. Therefore, I could go ahead and buy the new iPhone because over time, that $100 investment of Apple is going to make me a lot more money than I would actually need to buy the new iPhone 13 that is coming out. So don't just apply this to Apple. If you watch Netflix every single day and you were a cable cutter and you haven't had cable, satellite, or any kind of expensive TV for the longest because all you do is watch Hulu and Netflix. Go ahead and invest into Netflix because I promise if you was investing into Netflix, when you was watching Netflix in college, you have so much money right now because Netflix is up to $500 per share. That goes with anything else that you see value in. If it's a product that you use every single day, then I'm pretty sure it's a pretty good product that other people use and I'm pretty sure that it's going to be somewhat successful inside the stock market. So that is one of the strategies that I use. That is a strategy that I'm always going to tell someone new that's new to investing to go ahead and start off investing to companies that you actually know and companies that you actually use. Let me know what you think about my strategy down in the comment section and also down in the comment section.  I'm telling you, this is not a crazy idea. This is not a crazy situation. There are literally people out there that buys the new iPhone every single year and I think I might be one of them. So yeah, so you guys already know what I'm going to start doing with my money. Actually, I'm not one of them. I'm not one of them. I had the iPhone 4s for ever before I upgraded. I think I went from the 4s to almost the eight to Apple updated to software to the day was like, hey, your iPhone is not going to work anymore. You need to upgrade your phone. So I'm not one of those guys but there are people out there that do it guys. So let me know if you're one of those people down in the comment section and what you think about this strategy down in the comment section. But other than that, don't forget to pick up your two free stocks by clicking the link down in the description to Weeble. Just for signing up, you get a free stock and deposit $5. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Deposit $5 and get another free stock valued up to $2,000. But other than that, I'm Zeke. Bring you to Dream Green Show and I'm out. Peace.


What is the biggest misconception of Philly Sports fans?  You know, we all got heart, right here. Too much heart? Right here.  We just have a lot of heart. I mean, they think we're aggressive, but we're more just, I mean, passionate. Nothing. We are horrible fans. When it comes to our teams, we will hate you if you're not with us. But after the game, we can dab it up, we can chill.


So it's me JP, it's time for JP's product pick of the week and I thank you for coming here for stopping by and hanging out. First thing we're going to do is check and see if this is, no that's not the one. I haven't plugged a, ah-ha, here it is, it's like why is this HDMI thing not plugged in? Hey, it's back, alright that's much nicer. So next thing is, yeah so here we are and let's see, let me grab my, yeah okay we're all set up, people over in our chats, if you're wondering where the chat is happening, who am I talking to, who am I looking at over here, who's confusing me or delighting me. I got thrown there by Jenny Birdo, said sorry wrong account, I was like uh-oh am I sending from the wrong account, that has happened, no in fact our chats are the YouTube chat, hello Davidesa Tackle the world, Anthony Bacchera, type 2, hello, and no, type 2 says JP product pick of the week seems to be whatever overstock Lady Aida is pushing, that is not true, there's no overstock, in fact I don't think we have a ton of these, it's often new stuff and what we do is we take a chunk of maybe a hundred of them and we set them aside so that there's enough for people to get on discount, but it is not, we're not pushing junk on you, sorry type 2, wrong, but the other chat we've got, so we've got YouTube so thank you everyone for stopping by, I don't mean to be too harsh there type 2, the other chat we have is over on our Discord so if you're in Twitch or somewhere else and you're wondering hey where is the, where's the chat happening, check out our Discord that's at aidafru.it slash discord and you can look for the live broadcast chat channel, it looks like this right here, people hanging out there, hello C Grover, okay you're on, nice to see you, Johnny Bergdahl, Sam J4, Maus Toddbott, hello Jim Hendrickson, thanks for the gift here, I don't know what this is about, but yeah that's right okay you're on, please return your trade tables to your upright and proper position, I don't know about all of that there, doesn't seem appropriate, alright everyone's throwing me for loops today, so I'll stop reading those and I'll focus instead on showing you the cool stuff that we've got here today, before I show it to you however let me tell you if you want to get a jump start head on over to that URL right there or that QR code it's product ID 5753 and you can watch this show from inside of the chat, there's no coupon code necessary, there is a discount it's 50% off you can get that discount just simply by putting this item in your cart, you can get up to 10 of them, no resellers, reseller accounts allowed, throw them in your cart and buy them before the end of the show or just about pretty soon thereafter because then the price will be reset back to the original price at the end of the show, so before I say any more this I will say this is a hot off the press item, this just came out there aren't that many and I don't think Lady A has done a full demo herself of it yet often she has in the new new new segment, so just to prepare you this is gonna be a very short new new segment and hopefully I can provide some details in my demo but why don't we have Lady A to take it away. Got this PC joystick to C-SALT converter so if you have one of these old school joysticks and you want to take to I squared C you'll be able to do it with this breakout board that has an AT tiny that acts as a C-SALT converter so you do the analog grids for the joystick and the buttons as well it's also IRQ and it's like fully assembled and you plug in your joysticks. Did I say it was quick it's quick so that's the product pick of the week there right there it is the PC joystick C-SALT adapter with Stema QT this is an I squared C adapter for plugging in the 15 pin D sub connectors to what you would normally have as a DE 15 port on a PC for a PC joystick and instead you'll be able to use all of the great info that's coming off your joystick in your micro controller projects so what we find on these typically and you'll it'll vary depending on the joystick you have first of all let me show you here was a very fortuitous find I got at a thrift store just a couple of months ago it is this Radio Shack four fire buttons flight joystick so this has XY joystick action and those are two potentiometers and then it has four buttons on it that you can press so we can read all of those and then this one also has a throttle will throttle control and that you can also read on here you can in fact read two sets of XY so you could have rudder throttle and the joystick that's not too uncommon in some of these setups and all of that will be read by the little onboard seesaw chip and then spit out as nice easy to read analog for the joysticks and button mask data for which buttons you're pressing so let's take a look here is the page for this so you can see here there's a nice gravis joystick that lady Ada had that she plugged into one that looks like it's a two button maybe three button that might be a third button there for the for the thumb on top there it can vary nice connector on there happens to be called con fly that's at least the current supplier of this D sub 15 connector we're using on here and you can see this has a couple of STEM a QT ports so you can plug in STEM a QT slash quick connectors and then plug those into your microcontroller and then we also have it broken out as some pins if you want to use this on a breadboard or wire it more permanently you can use those connections there here's a nice picture of it from the side and here is your DB 15 connection I'll show you this in action in a second on this joystick that I got and in fact I don't think the guide is up it is in moderation so there should be a guide up pretty soon that has sample code wiring diagram in it for you one thing I'll point out is if you want to look this up when I first got this we didn't have the nice breakout so I did a sort of manual wiring job you would need to reference one of these this will show you what the pinout is of those 15 pins you can see here there's a number of pins that have plus 5 volts so we have a 5 volts regulator on here or a booster in case you're getting a little little off of that from your USB or your power so we give you the the real 5 volt that these joysticks want and then you can see there's button one joystick 1x couple of grounds joystick 1y a button another 5 volt another 5 volt button 3 then joystick 2x a ground that's shared amongst a bunch of things joystick 2y another button and then another 5 volt so figuring this out and plugging up the proper resistors is a little bit of an ordeal so it's really nice that lady to put together this kind of all in one just takes care of the problem for you plug it into any microcontroller or if you have an I square C to maybe using a raspberry Pi you could use this as well as people have mentioned over in the chat we did have these on sound blaster cards for at first these were straight on the PC motherboard then these moved typically over to the sound blaster cards in the 90s and now they disappeared we don't really have a port for these on most PCs and you shouldn't certainly didn't have an easy way to use them with microcontrollers but now we do so here is demo I want to show you let me show you what give you the lay of the land here my camera angle is a little funny here but you can see I've got my my lovely joystick here it has three buttons that are accessible with this thumb there's also a trigger button right here that you can see we have a hat switch which actually just sends collections of buttons that's not extra joystick or anything we have a turbo button which there's a little controller inside this particular joystick that will allow it to spam some of those buttons for you add a couple of different speeds so turbo one and turbo two speeds you can see I've got throttle so this is another potentiometer down here and there's a on off for the throttle and then there's a on off for that hat so you don't bump it accidentally so what you can see here in this little demo is there is the connector coming off my joystick right there's that DB 15 connector or D sub 15 I should say connector and then it's plugged into the board and then I added a little OLED screen to this so we could do something neat with with the joystick so you can see here I've got my X and Y I'm gonna bump into this thing if I'm not careful got my X and Y mapped to the position on screen of this little triangle that I'm drawing on this little OLED if I press my thumb trigger some of these different thumb buttons rather I'm gonna bring up some different shapes that are hidden on the screen if I pull the trigger I'm just changing the the screen to all white there you can see some tearing from the refresh rate there and then when I have one of these held I'm mapping my throttle to the X position of that little pill shape the Y position of that little X that little box shape and if I'm showing them both you can see that happening so we can do do some cute little things here might be fun for doing a heads-up display of some kind cosplay prop this would be really great for driving little pan tilt servo type of thing little laser pointer or something like that on a on a nice joystick and these are cheap I got this one for $7.99 cents at the at the thrift store you'd probably do better on on a yard sale or an estate sale or you might go spend a little more on eBay to pick one up if you don't want to have one already in your closet somewhere if you don't throw stuff away you you may very well have one of these so here's what this looks like in code let me open up code dot pi here it's not just that bunch of numbers there I promise there we go and let me get through that extra image there so this is all on a seesaw chip so right here there's a little let me let me look at my notes actually because I can't remember what what chip do we have on here it's a little atmel chip we even say someone remind me if you've got it written down here so some little 80 tiny oh it's a 816 yeah the 80 tiny 816 that has our our seesaw firmware on there so that means we're using these little GPIO pins on that tiny chip to read the four different potentiometers as voltage dividers through some resistors that are on board here interesting thing is that the original at least on the sound cards when those were used on a PC they I believe had oscillators on them so they were not reading DAX were more expensive then so they were not reading these as analog potentiometer reads they were using this little oscillator to adjust the rate of oscillation with this resistance so we've instead turned this into a more modern analog DAC type of thing or ADC rather analog to digital I should say so seesaw is reading those four potentiometers there it's also reading these eight buttons and so what I'm doing in code is I'm importing seesaw right here and then the rest of this is just about display stuff pretty much then we're setting up some variables to read the four buttons those the pins that those are on for seesaw and the four potentiometers now one of these if I read it it would just be noise because I don't think there's a fourth potentiometer in here so we really only need to read three of them in this case and in a lot of cases the throttle tends to be on the joy to why port so that's the one I think I ended up using then we set up a little bit mask to read those four buttons is one message that just tells us which buttons are pressed so it's a little faster than if they were sending that info out individually and then the rest of this is just setting up the little shapes in display I O and then in my main read what I can do is assign some values to analog read on joy 1x joy 1 y joy 2 y and I'm mapping those to X Y and Z Z doesn't make too much sense but it just is what I used and then we're doing a little averaging and so it says here PC joysticks aren't true voltage dividers because we have a fixed 10 K we don't know the normalized value so we're just going to give you the results for kilo ohms for easier printing if I toggle my terminal view in here and let's go by the way I didn't mention I've got just a little QT pie this little QT pie RP 2040 one of my little favorites plugged in over I squared C to the joystick adapter and then that I square C goes and runs along to that OLED there so if you watch here as I change my throttle that third value is going from about 0 to about 11 and it's the same for all of these so if you watch the middle value that'll go from 0 to 11 and left and right 0 to 11 there on screen one of them's being a little noisy I think it's this throttle you watch it'll get really noisy if I turn this off I think now we have just like a floating ground for that voltage divider so it'll kind of kind of get noisy on you and then the rest of this is just about remapping those values to positions on the screen to move things around and then for reading buttons we have this for buttons not equals last buttons in other words something changed based on a digital read bulk so that just grabs the whole button mask to say which of these four is pressed if any and then if something has happened with them I can do stuff like flash the background turn shapes on and off move the position of those shapes around and so that is it it's quite simple because it seesaw you just have this nice neat little bit of commands you can use in circuit Python you can also use this with Arduino and let's see does anyone have any questions I'll run over to the discord here and check out our YouTube let's see yeah for fire buttons fancy if you want to see something funny here actually let me turn back on this about this view right here if you watch my terminal there you can see button zero pressed button one pressing and try not to move anything when I turn the hat switch on so there's a little button there says are we gonna send stuff when the hat switch the hat switch sends these little sort of packets so is it showing up oh I think I've done something so that it doesn't it's not giving us the truth here yeah my my current code is kind of messing that up when you move this hat switch it actually sends three buttons or four buttons at a time and different sort of collections of those could mean something to a game so I think because they're pressed so quickly a game could say okay if we suddenly see button one three and four with almost zero delay between them we'll call that a different input so it was a way of getting around the four button limitation of the DB or the DE-15 this little hat switch will send multiple buttons at once that are used by the game which is kind of cool the other thing is we've got a turbo switch on here so I'll turn off the hat sorry that didn't really work turn on turbo so notice we get the red there and now if I hold down the trigger button it's just pulsing one of the effects that I have on there we can set it to a higher speed and it actually I think is so fast that it's kind of confusing the thing for the for the refresh there but we've got a couple speeds of turbo and that's taken care of just by the controller itself the the flight stick in this case can spam a button for you so let's see if anyone has any questions I don't think so alright I think that's oh Eric Laird says it was a 558 timer typically in the in the sound card or PC port that was providing the oscillators I guess it would need four oscillators to to read the frequency of those which would change based on the the potentiometer resistance that you're removing the joystick or rudder or throttle alright so let's see I think that's all I've got on it there is my product pick of the week this week it is the PC it is the PC joystick seesaw adapter I square C with STEM a QT slash quick connectors for different industries I'm John Park this has been JP's product pick of the week and special announcement pretty much the rest of the week's live streams are gonna be on Friday and that's because we have Circuit Python Day happening this Friday so please check the blog and you can probably check on the Discord you will find we've got a whole slew of shows going that normally happened throughout the week all packed into a Circuit Python centric Circuit Python day I'll see you in the morning to kick things off and then we'll have some panel discussions some 3d hangouts some workshop show my workshop show will be on Friday we'll have ask an engineer can't remember are we doing a show and tell I'll have to check the blog post to but please look into it because we've got a whole bunch of stuff packed in on Friday alright thanks everyone for stopping by for infinite issues I'm John Park I will see you on Friday bye bye


We have, in the past, explored some truly remarkable ancient ruins that can be found within Russia. Some of the largest blocks to be found anywhere on Earth can be found within this enormous country. Along with many other intriguing and spectacular finds, still left to be publicly documented, most notably within the notoriously hostile and extremely eerie Euro-Mountain Range, a place long rumored to be the home of the elusive snow Yeti. Left abandoned for untold millennia, laying within a Siberian lake far from modern civilization, rest one of the most scientifically baffling sites to be found anywhere on planet Earth. Claimed to be only a mere 1,300 years old, yet any compelling evidence to back up such predictable claims by certain bodies within historical academia are not forthcoming. Additionally, they harvest no real logical explanation for the site's clear antiquity, reason for abandonment, or indeed construction. It seems with very little to go on, certain groups within constrictive learning practices would like the world to believe that this perplexing site was built a mere 1,000 or so years ago. Known as Por Bajin, it is a 3.5 hectare artificial man-made island, located in a remote, unnamed Siberian lake between the Seyan and Altae ranges, about 3,800 km from Moscow near the Mongolian border. The site was first discovered in 1891, and the purpose of the island has still not been explained over a century later. It is still a mystery for, quote, experts to explain, although they still strongly insist it was constructed no more than 1,400 years ago. An in-depth archaeological exploration took place in 2007, with archaeologists discovering clay tablets of human feet and faded colored drawings on the plaster. These were subsequently used to date the site to quite recently within antiquity, allowing experts to say that the island was built during the period of the Ugyur Kaganate between 744 and 840 AD. However, they severely lack any clear explanation as to what their motives would have been for constructing such a fortress, in such a solitary place so far from trading routes, their own civilization, or indeed anything else of interest. As with many other confusing and as yet unexplained ruins around the world, the archaeological strata most preferred to academia's currently upheld story in regard to chronological events will always be preferred, and the controversial and often strong evidential datings are ignored or destroyed. Is poor Bajin a far older and once far more advanced site than we are led to believe? With the advances in technology allowing us to venture further and further into the wilderness, it is only a matter of time before a self-funded, inquisitively-minded individual gets a chance to take a really good look at this amazing place. Our last video covered the astonishing ancient city found in Sri Lanka, which was somehow built atop an enormous rock formation, known as Lion's Rock. It is a testament to the ancient's capabilities and determination, and our next location is just as incredible. Known as Nan-Medal, it is an ancient site located within the middle of an ocean near to the Mariana Trench. What makes Nan-Medal so incredible is the fact that the entire city was once built upon the water, an entire series of artificial islands, canals, and fortified city limits. Once more, the entire location is built entirely from enormous blocks of basalt and coral, built using a unique set of sophisticated techniques not found anywhere else on Earth. The site's supposed original name was Saun Nan-Lang, or Reef of Heaven, and according to Gene Ashby in his book Pon Pei, An Island Argosy. The ruined city is one of today's greatest archaeological enigmas and is sometimes actually called Atlantis, or the Eighth Wonder of the World, or even the Venice of the Pacific. According to academia, Nan-Medal was the ceremonial and political seat of the Saudalur dynasty, which unites the islands of Pon Pei's estimated 25,000 people until as recently as 1628. Set apart between the main island of Pon Pei and Tenwin Island, it was a scene of human activity as early as the 1st or 2nd century AD. With the perplexing megalithic architecture apparent only beginning in 1200 AD. However, comprising of almost 100 stone and coral-built platforms, a top artificial islands separated by narrow channels, enclosed by an outer seawall, Nan-Medal is an engineering marvel. A truly mammoth undertaking that yet despite the enormity of the undertaking at such a distant time within history, there exists no records as to when, or most importantly how, Nan-Medal was ever built. Additionally, there is no evidence of any quarries on any of the nearby islands or indeed the reefs surrounding the site. Where did these enormous rocks come from? How were they transported there? And how, or indeed why, was the site constructed on top of the reef? For a technologically primitive people, apparently placed a mere 1500 years in the past, to somehow have created this entire artificial floating city, made from enormous pieces of coral and basalt foundation, using techniques apparently not known prior to construction, yet somehow successfully constructing buildings that have lasted well over millennia seems a rather ridiculous and extremely unlikely premise. Additionally, to have no evidence of a quarry anywhere to be found makes the whole complex that much more confusing. The total area of the enclosure is around 75 hectares. Walls were as high as 15 meters and up to 5 meters thick. The average weight of each stone is 5 tons, with some weighing as much as 50 tons. With an estimated total weight of columnar basalt making up the city's construction at around 750,000 metric tons, Nan Madal is undoubtedly an astonishing place. We have, on many occasions, covered the many astonishing ancient rock-cut structures which can be found virtually all over the world. Megalithic creations, often carved from a single piece of stone or dry build, constructed out of impossibly huge stones, and recently we have touched upon the more impressive stone sites to be found, such as the horseshoe-shaped piece of granite, decided upon by someone or something, as the base rock for what many perceive to be the most impressive artistic wonder on Earth. A structure named after a mountain, we also suspect, has witnessed extreme excavation work in the past, as did the Giza Plateau. Indeed, although little known, acres of solid natural stone were excavated from the Giza Plateau as the foundation bed for the most incredibly elaborate pyramid found anywhere. Who could have accomplished such gargantuan tasks over 3,000 years ago? But I digress. Our topic of this video is a wonderful gem hidden upon our Earth, in fact, the largest and seemingly most impressive of them all. So impressive, in fact, a number of individuals, specialists, tasked with the investigation of this astonishing structure and the construction thereof. Some for over 12 years of extensive investigation have been resigned to the conclusion alien influences could have only been responsible for the completion of the structure at such an ancient time in our history. Known as the Lost City of Angkor, this due to its extended duration hidden beneath several thousand highly established tree roots. It was once the capital city of the Khmer Empire, which flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries. However, a similar theory can be applied regarding the Khmer Empire's success to the ancient Egyptian civilization's notorious longevity. It is, of course, a possibility that we have covered regarding Giza before, that these ancient cultures partook at probably the earliest form of graffiti, presumably ordered by the current rulers to add their own deity depictions to these already ancient and astonishing structures. It would be a logical decision for a successful leader of an ancient group of people, namely self-declared Hindu monarch, Jayavarman II, who also declared himself a universal monarch and a god-king to make the decision to claim such mastery as their own creation. When visitors entered the area, they would immediately assume that your group had constructed this awe-inspiring temple, undoubtedly intimidating and additionally giving incredible security to your people, as the temple even possessed an impressive moat, an instant advantage over all surrounding tribes. Not hewn from a single rock, but created using no less impressive techniques, undoubtedly requiring the same perfection in artistic ability as Kailash Temple.  These stones were then individually and perfectly carved into the astonishing wonder we see before us today. As the blocks were pre-laid, this means whoever the sculptors were had only one chance to get the carvings right, a feat they seemingly accomplished. Who built the lost city of Angkor? Kailash? The pyramids? Ballback, etc., etc.? The list of utterly perplexing sites grows every day, but thankfully, so does our knowledge. Although much of the world has focused their attention and awe upon the unquestionably advanced ancient feet of the ancient pyramids of Giza, Mexico, along with most of southern America also possesses many equally astonishing feats of a now lost ancient civilization. Gigantic cities perfectly created to house those who built them, along with what is probably the most significant of ruins now known as the modern Mexico City, it was once the origins of the settlement itself, although the age is unknown, this magnificent and mysterious place was once known as Tinach-Titlan, quoted as the Venus of the Aztecs, an ancient capital of the Aztec Empire. It initially started as an isolated settlement, created on natural islands within the Lake Texcoco. What makes it special, however, is that it eventually expanded out, with the now lost builders of the site constructing an entire city's foundations complete with giant pyramidal structures upon artificially constructed floating islands. It contained the palace of Montezuma II, said to have once consisted of over 300 rooms, as well as hundreds of other temples of considerable proportions. It was eventually destroyed by the Spanish conquistadors under Hernán Cortés in 1521. At the time, this amazing floating city had an estimated population of 400,000 people. It eventually spread over onto neighboring lakes and also the land surrounding them, covering a span of 5 square miles. It was connected to the mainland by several causeway dykes that terminated in smaller lakeside urban communities. Along with the many pyramid temples, the original construction is still highly debated, clearly due to its inexplicable architectural design and the clear advanced capabilities of its creator, one which does not coincide with the modern paradigms of history. The great market in the barrio of Tlateloco was reported by the Spaniards to have had at least 60,000 buyers and sellers on the main market day. How did acclaimed primitive culture create such an astonishing artificial island city, in addition to the ancient pyramids which surrounded it? It was undoubtedly a place which we would have found highly compelling.


Providing affordable social housing is among the priority pledges of Government of Maldives. In order to enhance the quality of life of the residents of Greater Mali region, the Government of Maldives has initiated the development of 4,000 housing units under two projects. FDC-JMC Housing Project and FDC-NBCC Housing Project. The projects are supported by India through a bias-grade facility from the Exim Bank of India. The extension of India Maldives Corporation to the social housing sector stems from our flourishing development partnership. Located in Hulu-Mali Phase 2, the two projects will comprise the development of 2,000 housing units each. Both projects will consist of 900 sqft 3 bedroom units and 650 sqft 2 bedroom units. FDC-JMC Housing Project is valued at US $137 million and the FDC-NBCC Housing Project is valued at US $130 million. The construction of the projects has now commenced. The projects aim to provide affordable housing for target populations through rent-to-own model and encourage home ownership for first-time buyers. These projects will cater to a total population of 20,000 people.


Well, the Institute is a fountain of knowledge about freedom in a society that is gradually losing it. I very much believe in the Institute's mission, the promotion of freedom, the promotion of understanding of Austrian economics, and the vision, which is the vision of a free society. I first became aware of Austrian economics through Murray Rothbard. I met Murray in 1966 and he converted me to free enterprise, anarcho-capitalism in about 10 minutes. I had been very interested in free work economy when I was in medical school and I had the honor and joy of meeting Ludwig von Mises. My husband and I have been donors to the Mises Institute for a few years. I got interested in it during the financial crisis and discovered this incredible treasure trove of scholarship in an economics field that I'd never heard of before. The Mises Institute has a vision of a genuinely free society, not when it compromises with any kind of state whatsoever. To one degree or another and for various reasons, even those who call themselves libertarians but are based in other institutes deviate somewhat from the sort of true north standards of Murray Rothbard. Mises doesn't deviate at all. What we need to aim at is freedom, freedom from the state. And that's what the Mises Institute offers us, that you can't get elsewhere. Without Mises, there would be no steady flow of lovers of freedom in academia. If we had not found this, we would not have had the aha moment of understanding what caused the financial crisis and interpreting the reaction of the policymakers to it and what that means about our future. As far as I'm concerned, the Mises Institute is the best place on the whole planet in terms of Austrian economics and libertarian theory. Listen, I have friends and colleagues in major libertarian institutes throughout the country. They have heard me say this, so I have no hesitation in doing so. Mises is the gold standard. So if you're looking for the standard of freedom against which other organizations ought to be measured and compared, it's Mises. I hope you will join me in supporting the Mises Institute. Join us. Support the Mises Institute. Do freedom of favor. Join me in supporting the Mises Institute.


The interconnected crises of the economy, the climate, and the nation's democracy have never been greater. The latest hint, O'Rourke was ready to run, coming in a glossy vanity fair spread overnight, captured by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. O'Rourke's saying, I'm just born to do this. Since the campaign, he's even taken followers along to the dentist. It was quite a reveal. The former Texas congressman skyrocketing onto the national political scene when a Senate race caught fire in 2018. Thank you El Paso, thank you Texas. Despite his loss to Ted Cruz, the rock and roll-loving 46-year-old caught the nation's attention. You too, thank you all.  No, there's just so many great people who are. All that blatantly sycophantic news coverage really got me pumped up for that salt in the sweat Robert Francis. Oh, I mean, Beto. All day long today, the media has been losing its shit over the announcement that Mr. Bob Francis has joined the crowded Democrat horde for the 2020 presidential election. The common talking point I keep hearing throughout the media is that Beto is a centrist. Anytime a leftist media activist calls somebody a centrist, you should be instantly suspicious. He got a very favorable profile in Vanity Fair with a photograph from probably the most famous photographer on the planet, Annie Leibovitz. And it's worth noting that his voting record has skewed more to the center than progressive. My skepticism was confirmed when I checked out his voting record and saw that he gets an F from the NRA and a zero from the National Right to Life Organization. The pro-abortion group, NARAL, gives him 100%. And beyond that, Pedro is very pro-illegal immigration and he backs calls to eliminate ICE. For God's sakes, his supporters were waving Mexican flags at his anti-wall rally, which, by the way, had large fences erected to keep people out. Nothing about this guy screams centrist to me, especially when the so-called reporter didn't even mention any of this. Take a wild guess who's going to interview him Friday. It's left-wing shill and Democrat donor Gail King. The former Texas congressman skyrocketing onto the national political scene when a Senate race caught fire in 2018. Yeah, and then he lost. It didn't matter though, because the media for the next few days ran puff piece after puff piece at how he was a 2020 contender. It was pretty obvious that this guy is going to be one of the media favorites on the Democrat side. I did a video on it at the time right after he lost his congressional run with so-called journalists drooling over him and giving him the coveted label of Rockstar. ABC News even ran a very obvious propaganda piece for him, interviewing him at a rally and trying to pass it off as though he was just out in public and everybody loved him. You can't go 10 feet without an interruption from a Beto backer. I love you too. Thank you all. No, no, there's just so many great people who are... Whoa, I think we have a contender for sweatiest politician. The rock and roll-loving 46-year-old caught the nation's attention. His offbeat social media posts appealing to a younger generation, even taking a skateboarding at Whataburger. You see, they claim that he caught the nation's attention, but what she really means is that the media decided to back and promote him. This guy has no national appeal without the media's help. He's somewhat popular in Texas, which surprises the hell out of me. But on a national stage, his own party is going to eat him alive for two reasons. He's white, and he's sort of a man. Why do you think he's so attached to this Beto nickname? It deflects attention from his skin color, which is both telling of the times and completely pathetic. He's a weasel who denies who he is in the hopes that the races in this party will give him a pass. Is it time to have somebody of color and a woman and somebody younger or somebody more establishment? But as a white guy, are you trying to calculate whether or not this is the right time for you? In my opinion, we don't need white people leading the Democratic Party right now. And my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. This is likely to appeal to younger people who lean left. It's yet another example of how the media will frame a story or a person to fit the worldview of a regressive. This is just a taste of the verbal fallatio for Democrats that we're about to see coming from the media. One thing is for sure, it's going to give me tons of material to work with.
