issue with my microphone for a second. The power to it got turned off. My 48 volt power. That's right. It takes 48 volts. 48 volts to power this microphone. So I apologize that the camera gets a little shaky during this stream. I'm using my Brio camera which looks fine but it's like duct tape to the top of my monitor right now. And this monitor is huge. So anything I bump my desk, even though it doesn't look like a desk is moving, there's always that little bit of movement and it leads to some, as you can see here, a little wobble with the monitor. So it is what it is. The reason I'm not using my main camera, and I can't show you what it is, I have things set up for tomorrow. The Xbox Series X, baby, launches tomorrow. So I have a camera, my main camera right now is on the desk in a down position. So I could show you guys when I'm tearing apart the X, you can watch me do it as I'm talking to you guys and checking out the chat. And then my other camera that I would normally, that I'm going to be using with my phone, that's going to be the main shooter that's going to show you the main shot of me in this, me in the system with my, by better camera that focuses better shooting down at the, at the actual system is, is already wired up and ready to go to be set up to shoot over here. So it's going to be a kind of crazy stream tomorrow. I do not have a time yet on that Xbox Series X stream. I'm hoping to do it during the day. The problem obviously with doing it during the day is my children. I can't guarantee that I could get everything done in the time slot that I want. So it's looking like tomorrow's stream with the Xbox Series X in person is going to end up being tomorrow night. I just want to point that out. I have a live stream I'll be doing tomorrow night, where I will be not only unboxing the Xbox Series X, which means yes, it's going to sit in my office all day without me doing anything with it, lame. Anyways, I'll be unboxing it, be hooking it up for the first time, making sure it runs, stick a disc in it, make sure that's working. I might even grab an old Xbox disc. I think I still have like NBA 2K19 up there or something I could, I could pop in there just to see if that works right, which it should. And then we'll be tearing apart the system live on stream as I put liquid metal thermal paste on it and might be the first person in the whole world to do it. I don't know, we'll find out. If I am the first person in the whole world to do it, I'll probably clip out some stuff, edit it together, release it as a separate video as, hey, the first Xbox Series X that's been liquid metal cooled in the world. And I'll talk about the benefits of liquid metal cooling, the downfalls of liquid metal cooling, and why you should or shouldn't do it to your system. Obviously, how hard it is to tear apart the X because this will be my first time tearing it apart. And yeah, hopefully I don't break it. I will be very sad if I break it. I'm pretty confident in what I'm doing and my ability to do it.  If you are not comfortable doing so, because you void all sorts of warranties when you do it. So yeah, that being said, how are you guys doing today? I will be doing a giveaway at the end of the stream. So no point in asking about it now. It's going to be at the very end of the stream. And it's just going to be for some digital currency, whether it's an eShop gift card, a PlayStation one, an Xbox, whatever, it'll be your choice. It's a user choice today on that. Also, you'll want to be sure to check out that live stream tomorrow when I'm doing the Series X stuff, because I'll be doing probably some Xbox related giveaways during that. Nothing huge, of course, because as you see, I am fundraising down here for a PlayStation 5. So obviously, I'm not exactly super cash rich right now, as I'm trying to raise some money to get one of those in the studio. So, and you might be wondering, why did you pay off the X and not a PlayStation 5? I tried to get a PlayStation 5 preorder in, but because of the way that Sony messed up the preorders and the way the retailers messed up the preorders, I was unable to successfully get a preorder in for PlayStation 5, whereas I was able to get in three, that's right, three preorders for Xbox Series X. It was much easier for me to preorder that than it was to order the PlayStation 5. So it is what it is. I only have one, I only kept one of my preorders, but yeah, and I'll be picking that up tomorrow. And we'll be doing that whole stream thing and all that jazz. So yeah, Willie, otherwise, I would have already had that and I probably want to have the X, then I'd be fundraising for the X, but I was able to get the X preorder in, couldn't get the PlayStation 5 preorder in. So that's what we're working with for this week. And yeah, so I want to get the PlayStation 5, just don't have the money because thanks YouTube, YouTube, you know, for those who don't know, you guys are all bots according to YouTube. So that's just the way it is lost out of $4,000. We move on with our day. So yeah, fundraising for that PlayStation 5. Now, it is launch week for these platforms tomorrow, the big day for Xbox and probably really a big day for Assassin's Creed Valhalla because that's kind of the showcase game for the Xbox Series X. And I can confirm to you right now, I will be picking up Assassin's Creed Valhalla. So there is that. So I will have that game. I'm going to get that physically because it's not available on Game Pass, obviously. So I will get that physically because I just have a physical game that a physical next gen quote unquote next gen game, it's cross gen to test out with the platform along with obviously, you know, I got my copy of NBA 2K 19 back there with Yanis on the cover I could throw in there just to just to see how last gen games work on it. Obviously, that game is not going to have any next gen upgrades. In fact, NBA 2K 21 is really weird. If you have a current gen version of the game, it'll obviously run on there, but you won't get any of the next gen upgrades. You got to buy a new one or you got to buy the Mamba edition, which it's dumb the way that they did it. But you know what, that's 2K just raking the money shouldn't really be too bad. Anyways, if you'd like to, you know, help help support the channel and get us up to a PlayStation 5, check out that Streamlabs donation link. That is the link that adds to this total here. Otherwise, you can obviously super chat and all that jazz. If you feel like you get questions in, we're going to talk a lot in this stream about PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, a little bit of age of calamity because the previews came out for that today. And then tomorrow is going to be a ton of Xbox stuff because we're going to have a live stream in the morning because I'll be picking up an Xbox Series X in person. My Series S pre-order has been upgraded to an X, so I will be picking it up in person, but GameStop told me I need to be at the store about two to three hours before they open if I want to ensure that I'm the one that gets it. And it's not because I have to wait in a line, like I need to be at the front of the line, but they might be opening their store early. And if they do that, I need to be there because if they open their store early and I'm not there, they will give my X to somebody else and I will be stuck with my S pre-order. So kind of shitty that that's what they're doing to me, that I, you know, they're upgrading my pre-order, but I still kind of have to be there and fight for it. Kind of weird, I don't know why my GameStop's doing that, never had them do this to me before, but I'm not going to complain that they're giving me an X as long as I'm there when it opens. So I will be live streaming from my phone as I literally sit outside GameStop and do that. So that's kind of a thing that's happening. And one second, I just remembered I have to go do something. I have to switch some laundry quick because our masks are in the laundry and I need to make sure they're dry for tomorrow and for Yulia to go to work today. So I'll be right back, no music, no music. Just enjoy. See what you could spot in the background. Play a little game of I spy. All right, I'm back. Sorry, had to get the mask to try. I totally forgot that Yulia leaves for work in like 20 minutes. So I had to make sure they got in the dryer quick. So she's good to go. She didn't go to work last week. She was sick. Wasn't COVID. She's all better now. So wanted to make sure those all got clean because we were wearing those while she was sick. So all right, thank you. We got a $5 donation from from Jay Lowe for Mr. Pumpkin. Little Mr. Someone spotted little Mr. Pumpkin back there. Heck yeah. All right. So thank you. Thank you so much for that, Jay Lowe. I appreciate it. Supporting the channel. Supporting Mr. Pumpkin. You know what? The PlayStation 5 is really for Mr. Pumpkin. Tell you what, if we somehow fundraise for that PlayStation 5, Mr. Pumpkin will review the PlayStation 5. I don't know how I'm going to voice him yet because it can't be my voice, right? It's got to be something unique. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out. But Mr. Pumpkin can review the PlayStation 5. Wouldn't that be great? All right. So yeah. So that's my plans for series X tomorrow. So I'll be live streaming from my phone outside of GameStop waiting for it. Hopefully if they let me carry the stream into the store, I don't know if they will, but if they let me carry the stream into the store, I will then make a purchase. I'll have to ask my management while I'm sitting there with the phone when they when they show me like, hey, can I, I'm live streaming. Can I live stream myself getting the series X? That'd be great. If not, oh well. But I'll try to do that. And then I'll have another live stream tomorrow. There'll be a different video during the day, of course. I'll get something out that's, I'll try to get something out that's not Xbox related, unless there's like huge news around it during launch, which might be. I'll try to get some Nintendo news or something out. For PlayStation 5's launch, obviously I won't be having a exact live stream picking up the PlayStation 5 since I didn't get a pre-order in, nor will I have like a live stream of tearing that one apart and reapplying liquid metal since I already has liquid metal on it. But that's kind of a thing where I got to figure out what I want to do for PlayStation 5 launch. Maybe we'll just do a general live stream for it where you guys that might have picked it up, I could tell me about your experiences with it or something, I don't know. Or maybe we'll just ignore it. I don't want to ignore the PlayStation 5 launch, it's a big deal. So I got to figure out something to do for that day since I won't have one. But yeah, I want to get both. I want to get both. Cory Baum did a super chat earlier for $2 Canadian says, can we talk about the new Switch Pro LLDX? That's like talking about the Xbox Series C. Mr. Pump can be making me horny, Jesus. Oh man. Brian C, why did you time out quick? Oh, is he repeating? He's repeating the question, that's why. All right, so yeah, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. That's what we're talking about right now. If you guys have questions about anything else, doesn't really matter. You know, like Philip brings up the Ubisoft thing, that's fine because that's like their killer launch game. Technically they have Yakuza like a Dragon at launch, that's exclusive. There is technically an exclusive game at launch, Yakuza like a Dragon. It's just not an impressive game visually and it's not going to be exclusive for a long time. It's like three months or six months or whatever it is, then it will be on PlayStation 5. So it's not really a true exclusive, a launch exclusive, I suppose. As for the Ubisoft game being a showcase game at launch, the thing is Assassin's Creed is kind of turned to corner. I don't think it's bad to have Assassin's Creed as a featured game at launch. Assassin's Creed bumped up their release date because of the launch of the series X. They wanted to be their day and date. So I don't know that it's bad to have it be the showcase, it's just that it would be nice to have that in addition to something else. Plus I think the original plan was always supposed to be, they did that deal with Cyberpunk. Remember they have that themed Xbox One X around Cyberpunk? There clearly was going to be some exclusive content or some exclusive deal with Cyberpunk. So they had a lot of things built up where it was supposed to be Halo Infinite and Assassin's Creed and then Cyberpunk. And that was going to be kind of how they carried themselves for the holiday. A couple third-party games with some massive exclusive. Halo Infinite got delayed. We can't ignore that that happened. It did. And then obviously Cyberpunk was delayed a whole month as well. And then they still got Assassin's Creed, which looks great, but might not have been as impressive as say, hey, the first time you could play Cyberpunk next gen could have been on Xbox if things had lined up correctly. I think that's what they would have preferred is, hey, first next gen Cyberpunk experience, buy an Xbox to get it. Don't wait for PlayStation 5. But PlayStation 5 has obviously the better launch games. There's no doubt about that. Obviously you have Miles Morales, which is a cross-gen game, but is just like Assassin's Creed available on PlayStation 5. Then there is also, can't ignore it, Demon's Souls. I know it's a remake. It's technically not a new game. That's kind of the criticism some people have is it's an exclusive, but it's not new. Okay. But it still looks really, really good. And obviously we know 2021 shaping up really well for Sony with Ratchet and Clank. Looks like it's coming next year. Horizon Zero Dawn looks like they're targeting that or Zero Dawn. Forbidden West looks like they're targeting that to be their holiday game. And hey, the first one sold over 10 million. So that's not, that's nothing to scoff at. And I think there was a few, like two other or three other games they had slated that were exclusive for next year. Sony's trying to kill it in year one. Xbox, Halo's coming next year. I don't know what else we're getting. I mean Hellblade maybe because that's the first game we saw. So I would assume Hellblade will be ready in 2021. So I don't know. Sony, like Microsoft bought up a bunch of studios, but we have yet to see those games and when those games are coming. Like the new Fable game, that doesn't seem like that's next year. So we'll have to see what Microsoft has to offer. They're the ones that have the most to prove with exclusives. But when it comes to third party games, you know, they're both going to have all of them. And we have yet to see which do games perform better on the X or better on the PlayStation 5 or do they perform the exact same. That is something we don't know yet. Even in all the reviews, out of all the reviews that exist in there, the reviews of PlayStation 5, the reviews of the Xbox Series X, they're not allowed to talk about any of the new games that are coming, such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla. They can't talk about those games. So because they can't talk about them, we're not actually sure which system, medium. That's another one, medium. That was going to be this year, but now that's next year. That's one that I was thinking about, Brian C. Thank you so much. So Xbox is going to have a slew of exclusives next year. So is PlayStation. And obviously we don't know which system is going to have, which system is going to have the better performing third party games. Like, you know, are they going to look best on Xbox and run best on Xbox or run best on PlayStation 5? You presume Xbox because of better specs? But who knows? Maybe they standardize it and they don't take advantage of the better specs. We don't really know. Plus, the Series S is in consideration. Is that going to make things actually worse on a Microsoft side? Because they build it for Series S and then the X. I have no idea. So these are questions that we still don't have answers right now, and these systems launch this week. It's weird that we don't have any actual new cross-gen games to compare these systems with. We just don't. We don't. It's weird. Can we admit that that's weird? We don't actually know which one of these systems third-party games runs best on. They launch this week, tomorrow, and Thursday, and we still don't know which one third-party games are going to perform best on. Isn't that nuts? Isn't that nuts?  Like, like Nintendo Prime is going to be someday.  But you buy Assassin's Creed Valhalla and launch at the Xbox Series X because you're like, hey, I could play it right now, next gen. And then all of a sudden, you find out the PlayStation 5 version performs better. Aren't you going to feel like an idiot? It's just weird that we don't know which one can you do that. Now, there's other things to talk about. One thing that is going for the Series X, it is feature complete. What I mean by that is at launch, everything the system promised it can do, it can actually do. So, can you expand storage at launch? Yes, they have a 1TB Seagate. Yes, it's 220 bucks. But you can buy it. You can expand your storage at launch. It's hot-swappable. So, you can have a Series X, a Series X, another Series X. You can hot-swap that thing between all those systems and you don't have to, you know, resync or do anything crazy. The games that are on it will just work and play. So, hot-swappable storage, which is an advantage that Sony does not have. And yes, just works, right? External hard drives. You could store games day one that are next-gen on an external hard drive on the Series X. Yes, you have to transfer the game back to the internal storage to play it. But the transfer speeds I've heard takes about five minutes to transfer 100 gigs. That's nothing. So, yeah, that's a big deal that they have that cheap storage option to at least store your games so you don't have to keep downloading them. Also, they say they support 8K. They actually do support 8K and do output to 8K on an 8K television. Now, caveat to this is the UI home menu. The home menu and the in-game UI when you click the Xbox button and you're going to go through things. For some reason, it's in 1080p and not 4K like it is on the PlayStation. I don't know why that's the case. That's the one feature that seems a little... It's there, but why isn't it higher resolution? Phil Spencer has come out and said that they will be updating that so it outputs at 4K and I assume for 8K televisions at 8K. But, yeah, it's something that's there. As for the 8K output, there's not really anything that supports 8K at the moment but it technically can output an 8K signal which PlayStation 5 puts it on the box but it can actually output an 8K signal at launch. Why? Don't know. So, Xbox Series X Harbor Wise's feature complete beyond the resolution of the UI. They got to work that out. All right, cool. Maybe there's even a day one patch tomorrow that fixes the UI and makes it 4K. That could be, honestly, honest to goodness a thing. Got to remember the difference between the Xbox UI and the PlayStation 5 UI is the Xbox UI is currently in use on Xbox One systems. So, the Xbox One family of systems is currently using the next gen UI. So, because of that, everything's kind of tailored to 1080p so it's possible that there's actually a next gen day one update that's in 4K for that platform. So, that could be something that's fixed rather quickly but what's weird for Sony's platform, well, Sony has the games as they say, sort of. There's not really a next gen exclusive game beyond a remake. What Sony doesn't have going for it is they're not feature complete. PlayStation 5 is not feature complete.  So, just want to throw that out there. People that added like, oh, it's a better, it's better because you have a choice of what brand you want to use and different sizes of SSDs. It's not better in terms of pricing. Price to performance, it's still stupidly expensive. Welcome to the latest and greatest SSD technology. It's stupidly expensive. However, you can plug one in at launch. It will not work. Currently, at launch, PlayStation 5 does not allow you to expand the internal storage. It doesn't matter if you plug in so-called compatible drives. They're not currently supported. At launch, you are stuck with your 667 gigs of storage. You cannot expand it at all at launch. In addition to that, you say you want to just store your games like you can on the Xbox in an external hard drive plugged in through USB because after all, Sony did come out and say our system can do that after Xbox announced that their system doesn't. Well, day one, you can't do it. You cannot plug in an external hard drive and store your PlayStation 5 games on it. It does not work at launch and Sony's only statement on this has said these features will come later, which means these features were not there and not ready to go, which means the system is not feature complete. The fact that the internal storage doesn't work day one is maybe the biggest black ball of the whole thing because why the hell would you not have that ready to go day one? That screams rushed hardware, not rushed software, rushed hardware. You have a hardware feature hard built in to the system that doesn't work at launch. Hmm, that to me is a little bit of a red flag. I don't know if we're going to come up with any other problems with PlayStation 5. A little bit of a red flag. And I think the external storage solution, I honestly think that they were never planning to do that. And when they found out that Xbox was doing it and people were excited that Xbox was doing it, Sony's like, oh shit, we got to do that too. We have to do that. So they don't actually have that built out yet. Hence why it's not supported, but they will get it built out and supported at some point in 2021. So again, things to know about at launch. For the Xbox Series X, pretty much no exclusives unless you are really into Yakuza like a dragon, which I guess you could argue is an actual exclusive. And yeah, you're basically going to get it so you can play third party games, which potentially at the best specs possible with the currently best external expansion storage solution since PlayStation 5 doesn't have that day one. And because, guess what, almost all last gen games get some sort of upgrade on the system, whether it's a higher resolution, higher frame rate, or better load times. Plus full backwards compatibility of the Xbox One, most Xbox 360 games, and about 70% of the original Xbox library as well. If you already own those games, you can slap them in. That's another reason to buy along with Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. I'll show you that I'm ready for that. We don't need to get into the benefits of Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate because that's currently a benefit of Xbox One, but I've got a three month pass right here, ready to go. So we'll be using that. They also announced recently that you get a free month of Disney Plus when you subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate. So that's kind of cool. I haven't seen Mandalorian yet, so I'll probably take advantage of that. And finally watch season one and season two of Mandalorian. So yeah, that's kind of where that stands. PlayStation 5, on the other hand, has the most impressive looking games. Miles Morales looks amazing. Demon's Souls looks amazing. Astro's Playground makes the DualSense controller look amazing. The DualSense controller is a much bigger step forward, at least, on paper, than the Xbox Series X controller, which is basically an Xbox One controller with better grips and a share button added.  Let's not forget the D-pad. That's important for some people. The DualSense controller obviously has their own version of HD rumble called haptic feedback, and then they obviously have the adaptive triggers, and they still have the touchpad from PlayStation 4. So they still have all that jazz. That's kind of cool. It looks really cool in Astro's Playground. We'll have to see how well it works in practicality, how many games actually take advantage of it. There's also an inbuilt speaker too. I shouldn't ignore that, because apparently that adds to the experience of Astro's Playground. The little bit of time I got to play with the DualSense controller, I didn't really pay attention to the speaker. Maybe my buddy had it turned off. I don't know. But anyways, the PlayStation 5 kills it with games. The games look impressive, because they actually have next-gen games, and Demon's Souls anyways in the remake. And then it's not feature complete, doesn't support everything it says on the box out the gate, but it will be feature complete someday. There will be updates in the future. And then obviously after that, it's all personal preference. Do you like the design of the Series X? Do you like the design of the behemoth of PlayStation 5? Are you gonna wait for the PlayStation 5 Slim? And I always tell people, unless you're a tech enthusiast, there's almost no reason to buy an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 at launch. There really isn't.  There's not really a reason to buy them. I would say wait until people like me and others that do buy in early, discover all of the issues that aren't gonna be discovered in a week or two that media spends with review units. So wait to see what issues there are. You know, like just like we have Joy-Con drift and everything, wait and see. It might be better to wait for a console or controller revision. Wait to see, obviously, until there's enough games, enough next gen games to make it worthwhile. Now, the one caveat is, if you just wanna play the games you own now, but you want them to run better and look better, go right ahead and buy these platforms. Because just like building a brand new PC and then installing all your Steam library or Epic library or wherever you get your games from, you install your library on there and all the games look better, run better, higher resolution, that's gonna be happening on these platforms.  I don't have a lot of last gen stuff, so I don't get to worry about that so much. Although I am excited about PlayStation 5 because there's a ton of PlayStation 4 exclusives I didn't play, that I'm gonna experience for my first time on PlayStation 5 when I can get one. Thank you so much, by the way, Andy Flow for the $1 Super Chat. I see ya. So that's my little next gen spiel about PlayStation 5 versus Xbox Series X. They're both flawed at launch. They're both kinda cool. I want them both. We're fundraising for one of them, have one coming tomorrow that I'll be picking up. What are your guys' thoughts on these platforms? I haven't looked at the chat much. I wanted to get through my little spiel. Be sure to at me in the chat if you want me to answer any questions. So right now we're gonna take questions on the PlayStation 5 and Series X. If you guys got any questions, head on to launch here. I got two feet of snow where I live. Yeah, we're getting a bunch of snow tomorrow and then Saturday. I'm not sure how much, but it's supposed to be a lot. So I might be getting snowed on tomorrow when I'm at GameStop. It'll be interesting. PlayStation 5 is gonna release with a lot of good games like the new Sackboy. I forgot to mention Sackboy, yep. Miles Morales. The thing is that it'll also be on PlayStation 4. Demon's Souls plus games that are receiving updates, yep. What's the giveaway for? You will see at the end of the stream. What do you think about Atlas putting Dante as a $10 DLC for Shin Megami Tensei 3 Remastered? I don't know much about that game, so I don't know. I can't really comment on a game that I don't know that much about. Not taking questions on anything not related to PlayStation 5 and Series X guys. Save those questions till later in the stream. Let's see here. What's my favorite console? I mean right now it's Switch. Between PlayStation 5 and Series X, cannot answer until they're both in my hands. Got my ex coming tomorrow. We'll wait on PlayStation 5 because of Sony's anti-consumer product. That's something I didn't bring up, but Sony does have some anti-consumer practices in play right now for people that pay attention, whereas Microsoft has been very pro-consumer. I didn't want to get too much into that. It's something I've covered on the channel before. I just wanted to talk about the merits that most of us in the United States are going to care about, and that's games and features. We're not going to care as much, typically about the consumer practices, even if we probably should care more about it. Do I actually have to get a new TV to use a next-gen console? Absolutely not. I actually pointed this out on Twitter today. If you have a 1080p TV, you still get an advantage with next-gen consoles. Not only do you increase frame rate, if the next-gen console is putting out a 4K signal to your TV that's being down-sampled in the 1080p, it's going to look crisper than it does if you ran that same game on an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4. It'll just look crisper. It won't be 4K, but it'll just look better. Down-sampled, higher resolution is a lot better than lower resolution, up-sampled. So yeah, it'll look better, and you'll still get all the benefits of the increased frame rate, increased load times, all that jazz. So you don't actually need to get a new TV. I happen to have a 4K 60Hz, not 120Hz, unfortunately. TV that I got last Christmas, so I'm all good to go for 4K in general, even if I can't enjoy that crisp 120Hz. Although I have this monitor here that's 144Hz, if I want to test out some of the 120Hz games. It's like multiplayer in Gears 5. Tactics is going to be 120fps. So I might test that out on this monitor, since I think it's the only screen I have in the whole house that's over 60Hz, actually. Do you think Nintendo is prepared to defend themselves? I don't think they need to defend themselves. I don't think Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 do anything about the Switch. Are they portable? Can you take them with you? No? Okay. Next. When am I going to do the liquid metal thing? Tomorrow night. Tomorrow night. I made a decision during the stream that I'm going to do it tomorrow night. I'm not going to try to squeeze it in during the day because then my kids come home and I might not be done, whereas I could take tomorrow night after they go to bed, and if I need to do a 4-hour stream, if I need to do a 5-hour stream, whatever the case might be, however long it takes, I am going to do it on live stream. I'm going to do it after my kids go to bed. So tomorrow night, probably around 8pm, because I'm going to have to do... I'll have the stream, the stream's already partially set up, but I'll have to do some testing and some camera testing and make sure everything's just tip-top ready to go. Because I'm not going to be able to be sitting at this desk while I'm doing it. I'm going to be over here because I need more space. I'll have my laptop up that'll have the chat on the screen.  I have a wireless mouse. Maybe I'll hook up a wireless mouse, turn my monitor so I can see and I can switch between camera feeds. That might be something I do, so I don't have to keep walking over wires to get back over here to switch camera feeds. That's where an Elgato Stream Deck would really come in handy if I had one. But anyways... How confident are you doing liquid metal? Is there any significant risk? You will fry the system on the first day. Anytime you do liquid metal, there's always a risk. How confident am I? I've never done liquid metal before. But I know all about liquid metal. So I am pretty confident I know what I'm doing because the biggest mistake people make with liquid metal is they just put it on like normal thermal paste and call it a day. There are precautions you need to take with liquid metal that can save you from frying your system or shorting something out. And I will be taking that precaution and I will be explaining that precaution and doing it live on stream. So you too, if you are considering using liquid metal, can do it. Now I'm probably going to suggest nobody ever takes their system apart from what I have seen of the Xbox Series X. It's not complicated, but it's not really intended to be taken apart. It's pretty easy to put that together, it looks like, but a little more complicated to take apart. Just like we found out that the bottom, the unremovable bottom thing plate that they have on the bottom if they stand it up is actually removable. But let's see here. When you get a PlayStation 5, play God of War. I probably will, yep. If I get a next-gen console, it will be my first non-Nintendo console, nice. Never mind the huge library of exclusive first and third party games. I don't think he wants to be plastered. Well, Brian, see, if you don't think I'm doing drinks while doing this, you have another thing coming. I absolutely will be taking shots during tomorrow night's stream. Absolutely, if I can successfully liquid metal cool, turn it on, play a game, live on stream on the Series X, while buzzed, hell yeah. Imagine the amazing standalone video I can make out of that stream. If I pull that off while buzzed, that'd be great. Absolutely, we'll be drinking. It's a celebration, baby. Next-gen launches don't come around very often, and who knows how many more of them we have to go. So we're going to be having some fun. If you guys super chat and donate, and the shots and the drinks are flowing, the shots and the drinks are flowing. Won't make it happen. Sir, don't maybe hit you with liquid death, dude. You can hit me with liquid death, man. I'll take it like a champ. I'll be sure to have like a two-liter, no, maybe a, maybe like a gallon, maybe like a gallon of water next to me. Yulia left, I'm like, honey, you forgot the masks. I got to call her quick, hold on. Let her know that she might want the masks. We're all good. She had a mask hidden on me that I didn't know about that was brand new, so we're all good. Have to get the rest of the masks in the car tomorrow. Because I'm going to need one. You guys are going to see me wearing a Green Bay Packer one tomorrow. I was trying to get a Nintendo Prime mask in, but man, are they really expensive to make custom masks? Let's see here. What time will Sony release orders, and will it be the same for all countries? No. Some countries have to wait until next week before PlayStation 5 launches. Japan's getting it first. United States is going to depend on your retailer. Some might let you get it at midnight. Some you have to wait for deliveries if you order it online. The interesting thing that I forgot to mention about Sony is they're not letting you go in store and buy a PlayStation 5 day one. So if you were like, oh, I didn't pre-order one, I'm just going to go wait outside Walmart all night and get one in the morning. No, you're not. Because they're not going to have one to sell you in the morning. Only pre-order people will be able to pick one up in store. They are going to be selling them brand new online on day one, so Sony says. Their claim on why they're doing this is, hey, we're worried about the pandemic. We're worried about COVID. So yeah, we are not going to let you go to store day one to buy one.  If they cared about us, if they're claiming that COVID is a real reason for this and they actually cared about us, they want to let us go to stores to pre-order in person in the first place, which they allowed and promoted that people do.  They don't give two flying fucks about COVID, and that's why there isn't systems in stores because they're going to have systems in store a week and a half later. They don't give two shits about that. What they really are saying is, we sold out of every unit that we could have possibly available on the 12th. They're gone. They're sold out. Heck, retailers took orders on the second and third shipments of them. Reality is, there isn't any to have on store shelves because they're all gone. They're all already gone.  Even if you're able to order one online, on launch day, right? Even if you're able to order one, pay attention to your shipping. I guarantee it will not be shipping that day. It will not be shipping the next day or maybe even the next day. It'll be a week before they actually ship it because they don't have them to sell. They're selling future shipments because they were already doing that. Like, I'm just pointing out there, Sony's, oh, we care about COVID excuse, yet they're going to have them in store on Black Friday, yet they encourage just to go in person the stores to pre-order them.  It's, well, they don't give two shits about COVID.  Don't listen to the little PR marketing speak they're putting out there. They're not watching out for your health. They're not good guys, Sony here because they're going to have them in store literally a week and a half later. Last I checked, pandemic's not going away a week and a half after PlayStation 5 comes out. Quake guy says, do you think PlayStation 5 will get someday retro compatibility with PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 1? Not the PlayStation 3 because of how complex that system is. Not like Xbox does. You won't be able to stick a disk in. No, architectures are too different. See, Xbox has been using PC architecture this whole time. Sony has not. So, plus Sony has that, was it PlayStation Now? Is that what it's called? PlayStation Now where you can stream their old games. That's like they're streaming service like Nintendo's, Nest and SNES online. Sony's got their own service for that. That's how you can experience those games on PlayStation 5. It's going to be through, I think, I think it's called PlayStation Now. I don't own a PlayStation 4, so I don't remember what it's called. But I'm pretty sure it was PlayStation Now was their way to stream old games. So that's how you're going to enjoy them. They're not going to have that retro compatibility like Xbox does because it's too difficult for them to do it. Is PlayStation 5 going to be as hard as the Switch during the start of COVID to get? PlayStation 5 was going to be hard to get anyways. Pretty much if you don't have a pre-order in, unless you're willing to pay a scalper money, you're not going to see a PlayStation 5 this year. You'd have to know someone at retail that knows exactly when the shipment's coming so you can sit outside the store waiting for it to get one. It's going to be nearly impossible to get. Think back to the Wii days, how hard it was to get a Wii. It's going to be like that. It might even be like that for the Xbox because the Xbox Series X in the United States anyways has sold out. Now there are some countries that haven't sold out, but in the U.S., probably Canada as well, the Xbox Series X has sold out. So it might be hard to get one of those this year too if you don't have a pre-order in. Probably slightly easier than the PlayStation 5, but I still think within two days of a shipment arriving, all the X's will be sold out this year. You probably won't get an Xen console as a Denver danger. That's okay. Drink milk? I'm not going to be drinking milk tomorrow night. Hell no, am I not drinking milk? Oh my God. Nathan, the next day. I don't know why my system won't turn on. Why is there smoke coming out of it? What did I do? Let me go watch that live stream. Why is my Xbox wearing a tiara? Why is it still in pieces all over my desk and my dog chewed on half of them? What happened? He's ordering more drinks for tomorrow. I have an almost full bottle of UV cherry. I have, I think, a 12 pack of beer. I have liquid death still. I still have a shot of Jager. I might get one more bottle of booze tomorrow, we'll see, for the stream.  But just to have some variety, I might get a different bottle. Something else to wet the whistle. Let's watch it with some of the insults thrown out there. I'm not into these fan wars. I'm not into these fan wars with systems. So let's not make fun of the companies, please. Do I know if there will be any PlayStation 5, digital editions at Target or Walmart at launch? No, there will not, Grandmaster. Sony publicly stated there will be no systems available to buy in any store at launch. Your local Target has 30. Are they PlayStation 5s? If they're PlayStation 5s, random games, then those are just all pre-order units. If they're Xbox Series Xs, potentially if you wait out tonight, you can get an X tomorrow at a retail outlet. Call now, though. Call right now and ask them if they have any available outside of pre-order. You can call today and find out if you want an X or an S tomorrow. You can call right now and see if whatever retailer you prefer has extra beyond it so you know if you should stay out there tonight. Because you're probably going to have to camp out overnight if you want to get one. PlayStation 5, there won't be any at launch, so they don't even have to worry about it. Please no bad words. I can swear. 34 years old. I mark this stream as not for children. It's PlayStation Now. You can play PlayStation 2 and 3 games. Also remember, PlayStation doesn't have PS1. It doesn't? Okay, that's something they should probably add. They should probably add PS1 games to it. It is PlayStation Now, so I'm glad I got that right.  I was pretty sure. For original Xbox, there's only 40 games. Yeah, I hope they update that, Charles. It's sold out in Canada. That's what I thought mailable. I was pretty sure it was sold out in Canada, the Series X. Fingers crossing into Series X before December 10th, cyberpunk launch day. Good luck, John. So who won the PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch giveaway? Nobody. That giveaway has been pushed back to January because the funds I had set aside for it I needed to use for bills, specifically because YouTube jacked $4,000 out of my YouTube account. So they literally hit the delete button on $4,000 that I made on my channel. So because of that, I have delayed it until I know, for a matter of fact, I will have a ton of extra money at the time and can easily afford to do that giveaway. The giveaway is still happening. It's just delayed to January. Now, the Super Mario 3D World giveaway being delayed as well isn't as big of a deal since the game doesn't come out till next year anyways. That giveaway is delayed till January. Then we're all good to go. I'll be fully liquid in the first three months of next year. I'll be not loaded. I got lots of stuff I got to pay, but I got plenty of extra money at the time to finish that giveaway off. Rather than strapping myself really bad right now, I can't even buy a PlayStation 5 for myself right now as I was strapped. I am hence fundraising for it. And if we don't fundraise for it or we don't fundraise all of it, it's fine. I'll buy it in the spring for myself using this money plus my own, of course. Do you think there's even the slightest chance that Metal Gear Solid will come to switch? Probably not. Um, what happened to the third 3D World giveaway? I just answered that. Answered those. What's your opinion on PlayStation 5 versus Series X? They both have their advantages and their disadvantages. PlayStation 5 has better exclusives at launch. Xbox Series X has obviously had the higher specs to consider. Better storage options and its feature complete at launch. So all depends on what you're planning to do.  Otherwise, just wait. I suggest people wait, honestly. Giveaway delays. Yeah, well, I didn't know that YouTube was going to just take money from me when I started that giveaway. You remember I started that giveaway, the 50K giveaway, in the middle of September. I didn't know in the beginning of October that YouTube is going to take $3,000 away from me. And I didn't know in October that YouTube is going to take $1,000 away from me in October. So I literally did not know that YouTube was about to screw me over at that time. I had the money set aside, but I was on the basis, obviously, that the money I had coming in from YouTube would supplement the rest of my income I make on my other job to handle my bills around the house. When since I didn't get that $4,000, I had to dip into the funds I had set aside to pay bills. So it just is what it is. You know, welcome to being an adult. Sometimes things happen. But I always knew that I have a crapload of money coming in this spring. And this spring, for sure, I can cap off that giveaway. So, let's see here. All right, a little bit into Age of Calamity now. Age of Calamity comes out, what, next week? Right? Next week. Exciting. Previews went up today. Looks great. Got to see all four champions in action. Got to see two of the Divine Beasts in action. Game looks great. All the previews are basically praising the game in spite of the framerate problems. So I think most people playing don't care about the framerate. So, hey, looks good. There's not really much else to say other than that without getting into spoilers. It just looks really good. I'm excited for Age of Calamity. It's my most hyped game of November. So I'm excited. All right. Now, I'm going to open the floor to a general Q&A. So now you guys can ask any of the questions that you wanted to ask this whole time, whether they're PlayStation 5, Series X, Age of Calamity, Nintendo. Now's the time. Ping in the chat. Ping at Nintendo Prime in the chat. And I will answer your questions. You guys got about, I don't know, about 15 minutes here? Okay, Ace Gamer. Let's relax a little bit. All right. Let's relax a little bit on those adult jokes. How do you enter the giveaway? End of the stream. Stick around for the end of the stream. I will explain it then. What's my favorite Yoshi color? I mean, I'm always going to go with light blue because that's my favorite color. Hence the shirt. Hence the Nintendo Prime logo. Hence the duct tape that looks like blue up here. That's hanging off of my light. That's not actually light blue. Man, I got to fix that. Proud to tag you before, but I'm asking, what do you think about a possible big Nintendo Direct coming for the end of 2020? I don't think it's happening. I'd love to be proven wrong. I just don't think it's happening. Did I play Pikmin 3 Deluxe? Nope. I mean, the demo, yes, but the full game, no. I already beat Pikmin 3 100% on Wii U, so. Moe Fernum says, I'm so mad that both Spider-Man games aren't for the Nintendo Switch. I wish that we got a downgrade version for both Spider-Man games or at least no change to graphics or performance. Why are you mad? You know Sony owns Spider-Man, right? That's like getting mad that Breath of the Wild isn't on a PlayStation 5 in 4K and 60 FPS. Sony owns Spider-Man. They own the IP. Well, what are you mad about? It was never going to be on anything else. Sony owns it. Like not just a game. They own the IP itself. Why do you think like Sony had to make a, or Marvel and Disney had to make a deal with Sony to even have Spider-Man end up in the MCU? Because Sony owns it. So why would you be mad that an exclusive Sony owned IP stays exclusive to Sony? It's kind of weird. It's been that way for a long time. Just be happy there's good Spider-Man games out there. Denver Danger just finished the AOC, Age of Calamity demo? Nice. Light blue is the best one? Yeah, man. But I'm, that's, I believe in Yoshi equality. What side will you pick in the Star vs. Mushroom Splat Fest? Oh, there's a new Splat Fest coming up? I didn't even know. I haven't played Splatoon in a while. What launch date PlayStation 5? Since Xbox Series X game, am I going to play the most? Well, probably Valhalla. Because I'm not going to own a PlayStation 5 for a little while. And I'm going to be buying Valhalla at launch. Now I have Game Pass. So I'll be checking out Gears 5 and stuff, but it'll probably Valhalla. Because I haven't, I haven't touched an Assassin's Creed game since Black Flag. So I didn't play the last two. So it'll be very interesting to see what Assassin's Creed is like these days. Brennan Shaker says, Nate, Sony owns the movie rights to Spider-Man. They do not own the Spider-Man as all. Well, no, no. I know. Okay, they don't own. They own, it's something like, it's not just the movie rights. They own like media rights or something. It's really weird. They don't own the comic rights. But they own more, it's more than just the movie rights. I can't remember. I was, I looked into this a while ago. They own a lot more of Spider-Man than people realize. But they don't own the comic rights. So it gets really, I don't know. I don't really need to get into it. Point is, it's a Sony exclusive. It's not going anywhere. The thing people should be mad about is Sony bought Crunchyroll. I mean, why? I guess I don't really care about anime stuff, so I guess it wouldn't be something that upset to me. No, Marvel owns Spider-Man for games, cartoons, toys, Sony owns film rights, blah, blah, blah. Big Bird, which new console are you most hyped for? And what game on each one are you most hyped for? I mean, right now it's Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk, it's third-party games on Microsoft that to be excited about. I mean, I'm looking forward to Hellblade and Halo Infinite, but that's next year. PlayStation 5, I mean, is Demon's Souls and Miles Morales, of course, to be excited. And I want to see how third-party games perform on it in comparison to Xbox Series X. And do I notice the difference? That's another thing too, like, okay, there might technically be a higher resolution or a higher frame rate on this system, but do I notice it? And that's something I want to find out too, like, do I notice the differences? You know, if I get Madden for both, do I notice the differences in Madden on both? That's probably not a good example game. I should probably pick a game where the developers actually care. Um, I don't know, maybe Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Maybe I get that for PlayStation 5 too. Let me see, hey, do I even notice the differences? Or does it not matter? Um, don't bother with Assassin's Creed games. They blow analysis, doghouse of horror. So, while I haven't really dabbled in Assassin's Creed games, I did play Origins, was it? Whatever was on the Google Stadia, before it was called Google Stadia, Beta, back in, like, 2018 or whatever. I did that, I did a live stream playing that game. And I had a lot of fun with it, man. I had a ton of fun with it. I'm pretty sure it was Origins at the time. I had a ton of fun with that game. So I can't imagine that they're bad. In fact, the last two games are two of the highest-reviewed games since Assassin's Creed 2. So, it feels like people will disagree with your opinion that Assassin's Creed games blow right now. A lot of people think they're actually better than they've ever been, from what I'm reading. But, you know, only way to know is to play myself. Let's, it's complicated. That's better than an IP right, so it's always been complicated. Let me see here. What's your thoughts on the new Kingdom Hearts game for Nintendo Switch? Melody of Memory? Don't really care. Till they give me actual Kingdom Hearts games on the platform? Just don't care. I think the Switch Pro will fix the framerate problems. Of what? Age of Calamity? I mean, sure. It'll be better. I don't know. Moosele games always have framerate problems. Sackboy? Hey, it's cool that you're excited for Sackboy. Nothing wrong with that? Nothing wrong with being excited for Sackboy? Don't apologize for being excited about Sackboy? Dude, Sackboy's great. Have fun with it. It was Odyssey? Okay, yeah. I can't remember. I don't remember which one it was. That's the last of my touched one, and I played it for like an hour. It was pretty good. I had a lot of fun with it. You should get this free eShop game for Switch. It's called Kitten Squad. I don't like cats, so. Mailboy says Yavahalla is going to be much more like Origins and Odyssey, which are awesome RPGs. Yeah, see? So, you should get the Odyssey. What's your favorite game of this year? Yours is Samurai Jet. I mean, it's Animal Crossing by default for now because I have hardly played any new games this year. Most of what I played this year were 2019 games, so I didn't play a lot of new games this year. I've kind of been waiting on next gen. And Nintendo didn't really give me much to care about. So since Nintendo didn't give me much to care about, and I didn't worry about anything current gen, I was waiting for next gen. Yeah, next year will be a great year for me to be like, all right, what do I really think is the game of the year? Because I should have a PlayStation 5 at some point, have the Series X, have the Switch, be able to dabble in all the different games. What ones do I really think are the... Like, I'll have a much wider breadth of opinion for like game of the year in 2021. In fact, I might even do a game of the year special at the end of 2021, or January of 2022. I wonder if the case might be whenever I decided to do it. Just so I can look back on the year that was and come up with my personal best games of the year and what the overall game of the year was across all platforms. PC included, by the way. I don't want to leave PC behind. I want to do some more PC game coverage on the channel. Unfortunately, we don't get a ton of really big PC games, but like Crusader Kings 3 that came out, I wish I would have did more coverage of that game, even if I only think 400 people would have watched the video. I like PC gaming. I'm not going to leave that behind. Sackboy and Astrobot are both trying to be Mario. They don't play like Assassin's Creed games now. Assassin Creed aren't RPGs. You'd be upset if they turned Zelda into an FPS shooter. Assassin's Creed games were action-adventure games. They were like a Zelda action-adventure game. That's the way I viewed all the games up until Assassin's Creed 3 or 4 somewhere in there. Even 4 was pretty good. But going from that into an action-RPG, they're very closely related. Action-adventure and action-RPG are very closely related. Going from action-adventure to a first-person shooter is not closely related. So that's a really terrible comparison. People get confused with Zelda games on if they're action-adventure or action-RPG. Because action-adventure and action-RPG, the line is so blurred between action-adventure and action-RPG, for so many people that they're very highly related. So Assassin's Creed evolving into an action-RPG. What's wrong with that? It may be it's not why you liked Assassin's Creed, but can we be honest? Before the last two entries, Assassin's Creed was becoming irrelevant. It was losing sales. It was losing interest. It was getting terrible reviews. Assassin's Creed was dying. And then they revitalized it with the last two entries. Whether or not you like the direction they took, that's up to you. But clearly Ubisoft likes the direction they took because they're getting better reviews, they're getting better sales, and more people are enjoying the games. So it sucks that it's no longer for you, but Assassin's Creed wasn't for me last time I played either, because the direction they were taking it in before the last two entries wasn't good.  I don't want to be a cat. No thanks. Sorry, I don't like cats. I'm probably like one of the only people on the planet that don't like cats. What other character do you want to see in Smash, or don't you care? Conker! Conker, bad birthday! Conker, baby. Should I try playing through all of Xenoblade Chronicles' definitive edition? The story is one of the best I've seen for- Well, I mean- Oh, I should try playing through. I've played Xenoblade Chronicles the original. I obviously haven't played the new content in definitive edition, but I probably won't get to that anytime soon. I'm just going to be honest. Yeah, Phillip, I know the differences between Action RPG and Action Adventure. It's just a lot of gameplay elements are very similar between them. So to me, it's more natural to take an IP that's Action Adventure and transition into Action RPG or Action RPG and transition into Action Adventure than to say, oh, let's go from this to a completely different genre. Like, they both have action in their name. Like, they're clearly related genres, even if there's differences. Of course there's differences. That's why we call one action adventure and one action RPG. It's just they're very closely related, using a comparison like Breath of the Wild to a first person shooter, not even close to related. Not that there aren't first person shooter action adventure games. Of course there are, but yeah. All right. We got to get going here on the giveaway. So it's not anything super exciting. You know, it's going to be kind of like my last giveaway. We're going to do a $10 eShop gift card or Xbox gift card or PlayStation Network gift card. You guys will be user choice to enter. All you have to do is type whatever I'm about to type in the chat and all entries will happen after I type this out. And then I will type out a thing when the entries are ended. Only say it one time. If you say it twice, you are disqualified. All right. To enter for the $10 eCard giveaway. All right. So I just put it in the chat. It says to enter the $10 eCard giveaway. Type out Fanny Pack Boy. Fanny Pack Boy. Now the joke behind this is that used to be Eric from the Nintendo Prime podcast. His nickname back in the day. He used to stand there in the mall. He was the only person I knew that wore a Fanny Pack when he wasn't on vacation.  So we would call him Fanny Pack Boy. It's kind of an in-joke. Now you guys are all in on the in-joke. Remember, only say it one time. If you say it twice, you are disqualified. You guys are still entered. There's still time. And then I will cut off the entries in a moment. Now, I want to note if you do win, you need to contact me because YouTube does not have a messaging system. You will need to contact me on Twitter at NintyPrime or on our Discord server. So yeah, that's how you contact me.  So I know it's really you. And then at some point today, probably later tonight, since I got a deal, once my kids get here, I got this whole cycle with kids. It's good stuff I got to do. I will get you guys all set up there and ready to go. You still have time. Logan LeBonk to enter the giveaway. Anyways, I haven't cut it off yet. Although I'm cutting off entries in a moment here. There's still time. Logan LeBonk, get your entry in. There you go. There we go. Now I'm cutting off entries. All right. All right. Man, there's a lot of entries. We've had more entries in this before though, to be honest. This isn't record breaking. This isn't record breaking. So people missed it. All right. Let me get ready to click my little bot button here. And the winner is Jonathan Sanchez. Let me just make sure that you did not enter twice, because the program doesn't always take into consideration double entries. There's your one entry. I do not see a second one. You're good to go. Jonathan Sanchez. Congratulations, man. Hit me up on Twitter at Ninty Prime or on our Discord server. Provide a screenshot with you logged in on your YouTube account with that username. So I know it's you. Obviously, I know you can Photoshop it. I'm trying to use the Honor system here. You'll get a $10 card of your choice for either the Xbox, the PlayStation, or the Switch. So congratulations, man. Now I'll be doing more giveaways just like this one tomorrow. There'll be multiple of them though throughout the stream. I'll just randomly be like, hey, we're giving away $5 right now. Hey, we're giving away $10 right here. Oh, hey, hey, it'll just be randomly throughout the stream. We'll do some giveaways like this. So be sure to tune in tomorrow night for our Xbox Series X Big Blowout Special. I'm going to try to schedule that stream ahead of time so you guys can queue up for it. You guys can set reminders for it, all that jazz. I'm going to try to get that created tomorrow during the day, preset up ahead of time. So you guys know when it's coming.  Going to be giveaways go lower. There's going to be liquid metal messiness. There's going to be drinks everywhere.  Maybe the most complicated live stream I've ever done, but hopefully the most fun live stream I've ever done. This is actually one of the tools I'm going to need for it. I should probably stop playing with it before I break it. You guys are awesome. I hope you had a good time. I got to go. My children are home. Here's my one son, Aiden. All right, I'll catch you guys a little bit later. Peace out.


With the regular season winding down, placements are being made for district tournaments that will take place in less than two weeks. A big 59th district match-up tonight from Pikeville High School as the Panthers hosted Shelby Valley. The last time these two teams met was back on January 24th when the Panthers won it 56-42, keeping them undefeated in the 59th district. Shelby Valley getting moving, working their way inside. Zach Honegger puts the Wildcats on the board first. Pikeville's Evan Rhodes answers back with the assist from Mikey McDonald from the perimeter. It's good. Road finishes the game with 11 points. Shelby Valley battling Orbie McPeak taking the opportunity to the house and then leading the Wildcats in points tonight. Blake Burke who dropped in 16. But the Panthers will take this one home. Cade Byers working his way around Valley's Sith Johnson. Basket is good and the Panthers would keep the Wildcats on their toes. Connor Reiser knocks the ball loose and sends it why it battles way. Battle would lead the Panthers to the victory, scoring 15 points tonight. Final score, Pikeville 56, Shelby Valley 41. The Panthers stay undefeated in the 59th district at 6-0. Shelby Valley falls to 3-3.

The way that the rights of the husband and wife are laid out and this is important when we spoke about the till. في أحيانا أسوأ وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِيْ عَلَيْهِنَّ. The equivalence that exists and the opposite, the kind of opposites, the given take that exists between husband and wife as it relates to their rights. Before we go into individual rights, we want to look at how the rights are structured. So some of them there is total equivalence, one for one. And in others they may not be total equivalence, but there is a kind of a given take, some for you and some for you. وَلِ الْرِجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةَ. And men have a degree over them and we spoke about that briefly in the previous episode. I want to come to a hadith which is very important as it relates to the rights of the husband and the wife. It's a very short hadith. Our mother Aisha, رضي الله عنها is narrated by Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhi, Ahmad and others. إنما النساء شقائق الرجال. ومن are nothing but the full sisters of men. شقائق شقائق هى ومسي أختن شقائق وأخن شقائق. It means that you share a mother and a father because you could have a half-brother right. You could have where you only share the father or you only share the mother, but you have a different mother, a different father. So it's a half-brother. Here, when we talk about شقائق, أخن شقائق, أختن شقائق it's the one that is completely shares the same mother, same father, full brother and sister. So why did the prophets, I seem to describe women as the full sisters of men? The meaning of this is nothing to do with sisters as in parents' mother and father here. But here, it's to do with the rights and this is actually a beautiful principle, this حديث of Aisha رضي الله وعنها. It's a principle that says to us that unless Islam makes a distinction and makes a clear exception, every right that a man has, a woman has and every obligation that a man has, a woman has. And that is that the basic principle in Islam is that principle of equality in rights and obligations. Until and unless Islam makes exceptions. Now, that's really interesting because if you look at the way that Islam looks at issues of gender, Islam looks at men and women as being different. And that's why Allah عز وجل said وليس الذكروك الأنثاء that men are not like women. The male is not like the female. And who said this? Who did Allah, الله سبحانه وتعالى said it in the Quran. Who did he inform us that this was said by? He informed us that this was said by the mother of Maryam. عليه السلام. That when she gave birth to Maryam she had swan. إنني نظرت لكما في بطاني محررة فتقبل مني. I have sworn that what is in my womb will be in service to you or Allah. That she would have a son and her son would be in the service of Allah عز وجل worshipping Allah and serving in the place of worship. When she gave birth to a girl she realized the reality of how Allah عز وجل created mankind. That Allah created us من ذكرين وأنثاء. إننا خلقناكم من ذكرين وأنثاء. That created you from male and female. And that the male and female are different. Well they said ذكر وكر أنثاء. She said the males are not like the females. So Islam recognizes that there are differences between men and women. But does that mean that there is an entire series of laws that are just for men and an entirely different series of laws that are just for women? Is that how Islam works? No, there isn't a Quran for men and a Quran for women. Rather all of the laws and obligations the default position is equality and equivalence. That's the default position. Until you bring in evidence which makes an exception for men or for women in a particular ruling. For example we look at clothing. Let's take the example of clothing. So there are certain equivalence. Allah سبحانه وتعالى talked about the libas the clothing that has been given to cover you وليباس وتقوى ذلك خير and the libas of Taqwa the clothing of Taqwa that is better for you. Some of the scholars who mentioned the clothing of Taqwa the modesty in clothing and some of them talked about it in terms of Taqwa clothing yourself with the Taqwa of Allah In any case here we have an equivalence modesty in dress between men and women the same they are both required to be modest cover their عورة and so on and so forth. But then we have differences that come later on. So the basic principle is the same and then comes the issue of the hijab of the woman and the rules and regulations and the difference between the عورة of the man and the عورة of the woman and so on. So we want to understand the way that Islam works is that the rules the regulations the commandments the obligations are for men and for women equally until the Sharia brings a difference between them and we can take this from the حديث إنما النساء وشقائق والرجال women are nothing but the full sisters of men meaning everything that is said to the men in the Quran is said to the women until you have a reason to diverge and a reason to make them different and there are many rules in Islam that are only for men and rules that are only for women but when Allah عز وجل for example said واقيموا الصلاة وقاتوا الزكا establish the prayer and perform the زكا this word أقيموا is given towards the men it's given in the in the form of the verb that addresses men واقيموا الصلاة وقاتوا الزكا and give the زكا it's given in the form which addresses the men and yet this حديث tells us إنما النساء وشقائق والرجال women are nothing but the full sisters of men so the same command goes for the women that Allah عز وجل tells them to perform the prayer to give the زكا however there are some things that are unique to the men and some that are unique to the women and those are well established in Islam and that's such a beautiful balance as the balance of Islam Allah عز وجل gave us a religion that is balanced a religion that is قيمة دين القيمة the religion that is a balanced way and is upright that yes our basic principle is that all the rules for the men are for the women unless there are exceptions and Islam makes plenty of exceptions because لسة ذكرة كالونثة males and females are not the same that's a basic principle of Islam and it's the فترة it's what matches the nature of human beings and it's what will help the marriage to settle and one of the really things that I personally see that cause a lot of marital discord is this very non-Muslim very un-Islamic effort of men to be like women and women to be like men and so the wife is striving to be the husband and the husband is striving to be the wife in one way or another and it sounds funny in the sense that somebody says that's not really possible but you see this reality the wife is striving to have the rights the husband has that are only for him that are خاصة به and likewise the husband is trying to either drop some of the things that are only for him or trying to take something that's a right that is a right of his wife or take it away from her and they're not sticking to what Allah gave them and so we really want to sort of use this hadith to lay out a foundation in the way the husband and wife interact with each other that you have that equivalence that you have that equality but there will be times when the husband has very specific things that are for him and against him or any obligations that he has to do and the wife will have very specific things that are for her and are against her or obligations that she has to do so that's how we can balance those two out and we shouldn't be racing for one person to try to take those away or try to sort of absorb some of the responsibilities or even the rights of the others and that's a lot of times where the marital relationship can break down because the person is not accepting what Allah gave them and we know the one who created us is the one who knows how best we should live as husband and wife our next hadith is a hadith in صحيح البخاري and it is a hadith عن عون ابن أبي جوحيفة عن أبيه رضي الله عنه قال آخ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بين سلمان واب الدرداء فزار سلمان أب الدرداء فراء أمة الدرداء متبذلة فقال لها ما شأنك عون ابن أبي جوحيف وانيريتز from his father that he said the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم مجموعة أباً بين سلمان واب الدرداء وسلمان وزدت أب الدرداء سلمان الفارسي ربي الله عنه وزدت أب الدرداء ربي الله تعالى عن عنه صوء أمة الدرداء ربي الله عنه متبذلة وينصوءها تشفلت ليس تفضلت بكامل وانه قبل حجاب قبل حجابه وقال لها ما شأنك ما تفعل with you وماذا؟ رباً she is not well she could be sick رباً something happened to her ولماذا لا تفعلها كما تتوقفت أباً لتفعل ما حدث ما حدث فقال لها ما شأنك ما حدث قالت أخوك أبو الدرداء ليس له حاجة في الدنيا فجاء أبو الدرداء فصنع عليه طعاماً فقال كل فإنني صائم قال ما أنا باكل حتى تأكل فأكل she said your brother أبو الدرداء has got no need of this world it's like he doesn't look at me doesn't know I'm here you know doesn't not in terms of looking after me like maybe he spends but he doesn't you know he doesn't have a need of me not that he doesn't look after me looks after her but he doesn't have a need he doesn't want me to doesn't have any need and then أبو الدرداء came and made food for Salman and he said to Salman eat the food but I'm fasting he said eat it but I'm fasting so Salman said I'm not going to eat until you eat so finally أبو الدرداء he ate فلما كان الليل ذهب أبو الدرداء يقوم فقالنا فنام ثم ذهب يقوم فقالنا فلما كان آخر الليل قال سلمان قم الآن قال when the night came أبو الدرداء stood up as if he's going to pray so Salman said to him go back to sleep then he stood up again to pray Salman said to him go back to sleep so when the end of the night came سلمان said now stand up and pray so they prayed they prayed together فقال له سلمان إن لربك عليك حقا ولنفسك عليك حقا ولأهلك عليك حقا فأعطي كل ذي حق حقا سلمان he said to أبو الدرداء he said your lord has a right over you and yourself your body you have a right over you and your family has a right over you so give everyone who has a right over you their right فأت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر ذلك له so أبو الدرداء he came to the prophet look at how the sahaba used to be رضي الله عنه came to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and he mentioned what سلمان said فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم صدق سلمان the prophet's license said سلمان told truth so this now has the ruling of a hadith your lord has a right over you you your own body has a right over you and your family has a right over you فأعطي كل ذي حق حقا give everyone who has a right over you their right and this is والله that it is from the most beautiful and the most fundamental قواعد and principles that exist as it relates to husband and wife and it relates to all of حقوق العباد the rights of people what is the the essence of it how do you know that you are achieving your goals as it relates and your responsibilities as it relates to marriage give everyone who has a right over you their right and again when we talk about marital discord most of the people this is where people fall down فأعطي كل ذي حق حقا so we see the woman she comes and she complains that her husband is giving rights to his mother which is completely correct and it is no doubt from the greatest of the obligations after the obligation to worship Allah alone he's giving his rights to his mother but he's not giving the rights to his wife so he's not implementing that statement of the prophet's license فأعطي كل ذي حق حقا give everyone who has a right over you their right look in this example سلمان was giving a right to Allah أبو دردا رضي الله عن was giving a right to Allah and he wasn't giving the right to his body and his family Allah is the most deserving of anyone for you to give his rights to yet when it was at the expense of the right that Allah commanded to give to his family then it wasn't praiseworthy when it became at the expense of the right that Allah commanded him to give to his body it wasn't it wasn't praiseworthy so if that's true of the rights of Allah عز و جل then wallahi is true of every other right including the rights of the parents that everything has to be in balance likewise the wife she's given her rights to her children she's really taken that responsibility for her kids and she's taken it very very seriously she's making it very important but she's neglecting her husband she's not giving him his rights or she's looking after her husband and she's neglecting the rights of her children the husband is more deserving of her giving rights than even her parents and yet still she's given rights to her husband and she's not giving it to her children or she's not giving it to Allah عز و جل and that's even worse that the husband's given rights to his wife but he's not giving rights to Allah and you can take in this also we can bring in this topic of atheism because the reality is you know people talking about non-Muslims who've got really good manners and really kind and really and at the end of the day what they're giving rights to their neighbor they're not giving the rights to Allah they're giving rights to their friends they're not giving rights to Allah they're giving rights to the environment they're not giving rights to Allah عز و جل that's not praiseworthy what is praiseworthy is for out كل ذي حقن حقه everyone who has a right over you give them the right that they have give Allah his right give your parents their right give your spouse their right give your children your neighbor even the environment even the you know the environment the world that you live has a حق over you has a right over you give everyone their right as for the people who give rights to the birds and the animals and the insects and the trees and they don't give the rights to رب العالمين there's nothing praiseworthy in this or they don't give the rights to their fellow human beings or people who give rights to the human beings but they don't give rights to Allah or people who give the right to Allah but they don't give it to their family like this رحبانية like they lock themselves in the room and they worship Allah but they don't care about their family for all of this is blameworthy what is praiseworthy is for out كل ذي حقن حقه give everyone who has a right over you give them give them their right give everybody who has a right over you their right and that really just gives you that balance that's what I'm aiming for it's not about giving my wife 100% of her rights and neglecting my children neglecting Allah neglecting my parents neglecting my neighbours it's about balancing out the rights to give everyone their rights and that is possible لا يوكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها الله doesn't burden a person with more than they can bear it is possible for you to give your parents their right and your spouse and it's possible for you to give your children their right and also to give the rights to their parents and the spouse and the neighbour it's possible because our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did it صحابة ربي الله عنهم learned from him and they copied him and they did it their صالح صالح the righteous predecessors they took from them and they did it it's possible to give everyone their rights I'm not going to say you're never going to fall short because we're human beings and we're going to we are naturally we naturally make mistakes and frequently make mistakes but ultimately it is possible for you to set out a system and a way of life where you are giving everybody the right that is over you or the right that is your obligation to give to them when we talk about rights what is also really important and we have alluded to this previously but I just wanted to bring the آية it's the statement of الله إزا و جل و لا تتمنى ما فضل الله به بعضكم على بعض للرجال نصيب مماك تسبو والنساء نصيب مماك تسبن وسألوا الله من فضل إن الله كان بكل شيء عليمة صورة النساء number 32 do not seek what Allah has preferred some of you with over others men have an opportunity or a portion of the reward from the actions they have done and women they have a portion of the reward from the actions that they have done and ask Allah from His grace الله is knowing of every single thing so right here we have a beautiful آية that breaks down for us the fact that neither of us should be seeking rights that are for the other one neither of us should be trying to covet and be jealous and be sort of seeking out the rights that were given to somebody else and this آية specifically mentions the rights given to men and the rights given to women and this آية والله is so important in this age of where there is we were dealing with things like feminism and indeed other movements and other belief systems and other things like that where there is a desire to covet the rights that have been given to someone else by الله سبحانه وتعالى and ultimately again this is nothing more than an extension of atheism where we no longer care about the rights of Allah but we only care about حقوق العباد and one of the things that make when you care only about the حقوق of the عباد the rights of the servants and you don't care about the rights of Allah then no doubt this leads to selfishness and it leads to coveting what other people have because you no longer accept that it was Allah that gave each person their حق their right in anything in everything be it gender related or related to anything else Allah عز وجل gave every single person a حق a right we want to give everyone the right فعطي كل ذي حق إن حقا we want to give everyone the right that they have when we start to look at things and ignore the fact that it was Allah that gave out those rights what happens we start to crave what other people have why don't I have what that person has why am I not allowed equally the same right and the same authority that that person has and so on and it leads to a destructive cycle where each person is craving to have what the other person has it leads to jealousy it leads to hatred and it leads to ignoring the rights of Allah عز وجل as we said this is nothing more than an extension of atheism that neglects the fact that Allah is the one that gave rights to people and it's not about me being better than someone else how many women will be above their husbands يوم القيامة and I will give you one example and Subhan Allah the examples in this they would not stop أسيا رضي الله عنها أسيا عليه السلام أسيا the wife of فرعون her husband فرعون where is he and where is she when the prophets I said mentioned her to be from the women whose إيمان was كامل complete full Subhan Allah it's perfect so if you look at أسيا رضي الله عنها you look at the situation of her husband فرعون in the lowest part of the fire and leading his people into the fire يوم القيامة and all of the things that he did but that's just an extreme example in reality there are many women who are far above their husbands in the sight of Allah عز وجل but when you live only for this dunya and you only care about this dunya then you only care about what rights you have in this dunya I only care about am I in charge am I the one making the decisions am I the one that has the most power the most authority am I the one that has the most flexibility that's all you care about because it's only the dunya that's the only thing they say it's only this life of this world we live and we die and it's just the passage of time nothing kills us except time nothing causes us to die except time that's what these people believe and so they lose this concept of accepting what Allah gave you and realizing that what Allah has given to a wife doesn't stop her from being above her husband يوم القيامة درجات many levels and what Allah has given to the husband doesn't stop him from being above his wife درجات يوم القيامة many levels it doesn't stop either of them because they have the opportunity to gain the reward from their actions what you've been given in this dunya is a test and it is possible for a woman to pass her test and her husband to fail his test and it's possible for her husband to pass his test and for his wife to fail her test it's possible so ultimately it's not for us to fight over who was given what it's for us to look for the نصيب our نصيب of our good deeds our portion of good deeds and to try and get as many good deeds as possible out of what Allah has given us and when we want something we covet something, desire something instead of being jealous of other people and trying to undermine what Allah has given them what should we do? ask Allah from his grace if you want something ask Allah from his grace ask Allah, O Allah, give me this O Allah, grant me this O Allah, give me this instead of trying to take try to be like two spoiled children who are fighting over some candy or something they're both fighting each other they're both pulling against each other and arguing with each other instead of that ask Allah to give you candy that's it instead of fighting each other over one thing and pulling each other ask Allah to give you what it is that you want and ultimately we're just giving simple you know, sort of examples and light hearted examples but reality this issue is quite serious when it comes to marriage and it can lead to a lot of problems in marriage if we don't understand this so we talk about the husband's rights and the wife's rights it's not for the wife to crave and covet what the husband has nor is it for the husband to crave and covet what the wife has rather each one of them work to get your نصيب your share your portion of good deeds from what you have done and ask Allah for His grace and His bounty in order to get where you want to be which is جنة الفردوس العالة the highest part of Paradise it's not that you just you know it's not about this world and it's not about being in charge in this world and it's not about being in authority in this world and it's not about having one more right than the person next to you or one more obligation than the person next to you it's not about those things it's about working with what you have to get your نصيب your share of good deeds and asking Allah from His bounty and His virtue and I know I've really having this point at home and I've talked about it a lot but I just see it to be such an issue in this day in each where the non-Muslims are putting such immense pressure upon Muslims to stop fulfilling their rights to each other to start coveting what other people have and it's not just جنة it's not just men and women it's across the whole spectrum that to try and covet power covet authority to try and covet rights that you don't have to try and be in the place of someone else why should this person be over me even in knowledge refusing to accept the authority of the scholars refusing to listen to what the scholars have to say why should that person tell me why should I not be the scholar who gets to tell look at how everyone is just coveting what everybody else has everyone is just trying to get instead of asking Allah for grace and asking Allah for knowledge and asking Allah and striving for it perhaps Allah one day will put you in that position but ultimately we just live in a time where the pressure on the Muslims is to steal everyone else's rights and to try and seek it and to try and undermine them in it and that's why so many marriages are failing it's one of the major reasons why so many marriages are failing rather the woman who is intelligent and the man who is intelligent they say what has Allah given me that I can get جنة with they don't start looking for what Allah hasn't given me they ask Allah for his grace if it's from the things it's permissible to ask for they ask Allah give me wealth so I can spend it or Allah give me health so I can use it to worship you and so on but they are looking at what do I have today that can get me جنة that's the attitude that the Muslim should have when it comes to the حقوق the rights and when it comes to the obligations and when it comes to the قدر and the قضاء of Allah let me earn as much as I can from what Allah جلا في علا has given to me so that brings us to the end of this episode إن شاء الله تعالى سوف ننتقل by looking next time at the areas in which the husband and the wife are totally equal they have a one-for-one right so المماثلة التامة complete equivalence the rights in which there are complete equivalence we're going to look at those إن شاء الله تعالى in the next episode and until then السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته and Allah عز وجل knows best وصلاة والسلام عال نبينا محمد
