Morning, everyone. It is now 4.24 a.m. Today is January the 12th, 2026. And we're back to the work week. This day's Monday. So I got a lot done yesterday. I put a lot on things. Things on eBay. I watch the bills win. You do not know who won the Patriots game yet. Because I went to bed. I wasn't going to stay up. I stay in my routine. I'm just much better off staying on a routine. 430 I was tired did a lot of stuff but we did watch one football game we'll check out the beatrice score in second Jacksonville just wasn't really that good

Travis Lawrence had him must have a bad day because he was throwing balls all over the place that were not really that good Josh he he deserves he deserved it he definitely

spot out there for yesterday so yesterday we also did a video we went over Famicom I have a shop twin Famicom I got to find the rest of it There's a power adapter, cable, and all that stuff for it. And then we had, we looked at the regular Famicom,

and then I had some special boards with some audio video, uh, mods to it. One has actually has a physical board. So the CPUs replaced with something else. I don't think that one worked. So I listed those, listed a little bunch of other stuff. And I think it's only video I did yesterday.

Did one before that? Oh, yeah. I don't really forgot all about the main video. The first video I did at 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock yesterday morning was the return of those two cartridge slots with all the debacle. So we did about an hour video of that going through it, and of course they all worked. And it's like anything else. Those are old. They're used old.

So you've got to blow on the cartridge. They're not, I'm not 3D printing new stuff. I just tested it and make sure it works. And today all worked. Of course they did. So I went through all that. I got beat up pretty bad on that one. but at the end of the day you can see the second video I'll attach it today to this one

retesting all those cartridge slots and so we did which yes we did n64 first in the morning because that was on I wanted to get that done we attached it to the video that is still running last time I looked it was over 60,000 views it's pretty awesome I promoted that pretty high so I should go way up there and now I added this the link to the second video I just did yesterday we're at the top as a conclusion to that for you so you can look at the what went down and then you can look at the conclusion when it came in pretty interesting stuff i can't script this thing this is all real stuff that happens i just react this as as i'm treated pretty much but besides that everything's good all right so let's get the drum roll and i'm about

to find out score oh the pictures one Good for them. 16 to 3. Wow, the charges are terrible. Oh, cool for them. And good, the Eagles lost, too. Yeah, I'm not Eagles fan. San Francisco beat the Eagles.

So that means the Patriots will play Buffalo again, and that's going to be really hard. But it's going to be at the New England, so they get a second at home. 16 to 3. Let's check it out. Let's see what happened. Charges didn't.

They only scored three points. Patriots have got a special team, I'm telling you. they've got quite the special team first downs just and Herbert had a terrible day huh only no touchdowns no interceptions Drake may had one touchdown and one interception

and a rushing yard 66 so it's pretty cool so they didn't score a lot it wasn't a lot of scoring a lot of defense there so that's pretty awesome oh cool glad they won I didn't expect him to win but I'll take it and the Eagles lost which that's a

They're really awesome. They're a mess. It's cool. New Star Wars movie coming out. It looks pretty neat. It's got Joshua. It's got, which we'll call on it? It's called Star Wars Starfighters.

One of the best experience of his career. So it looks pretty wild. And something about Tom Cruise is in it. Wow. In time Tom Cruise is anything, it's pretty awesome. All right. So Patriots won. Cool.

There's no way I was going to stand for that. I wouldn't see it. It looked like it was a deep. defensive games. Let's see what else is going on. All right. So let's get busy this morning here, see what's going on. So cool. Maybe next week the Patriots game will be at a normal time, which I'm pretty sure it will be. Even a four o'clock one I could probably stay up to watch. It's terrible. But it's just my routine. I need to get to sleep, get my 12 hours.

Sleep. I thought it was catching a cold, but I think I'm all right. Etsy's been super quiet nothing going on had a good feedback the other day so that's pretty cool it's a lot of stuff I want to do with Etsy but I just haven't gotten to it and plus a course every time I list something on Etsy it's 20 cents it doesn't seem like a lot but 20 cents times a whole bunch of stuff after a while adds up and I don't know what's going to sell and what doesn't so it's hard to

to take down things that may sell a lot of things you probably never will sell we're going to re-evaluate at sea at some point. But for now, it's just it's there. Quicksilver. Disney Plus Quicksilver.

Let's look at Pushmark. So today we're going to what we're doing today. We'll see what you'll see where I did keep up my orders all day yesterday because I had constantly had orders. I don't want to fall behind me. I'd wake up today and

spend the next four hours trying to catch ship on orders for the weekend and I ain't doing that anymore so yesterday while watching a little football and doing this and that I got all my orders done I had a lot of I've really bulked up my store and I've had lots of discounts so working on it it's my only lifeline is my eBay so I have to keep working on it so I have Parkmark not much going on here same deal let's see what we got for Parshmark 1,290 47 followers. So that's the same.

So Patriot 20 is today. Pretty cool. So I believe we're playing the bills next. And then the other side, the other two teams are playing tonight, Pittsburgh Steelers. But it's the Houston Texans that I'm worried about. They're going to be tough.

But, uh, we'll see. Aaron Rogers is his last go-round, his last chance is made it into one more playoff round. So let's what he does. Let's see. Oh, RSS. Yeah, because I'd get a new Star Wars movie.

I was never really a fan of any of the streaming movies, things of Star Wars. They're all right. I just couldn't get into it. It's not the same. Plus, they over-flooded it with Star Wars. Disney bought them for $4 billion. I think it was what they paid for Disney for Star Wars rights.

Lucas, $4 billion. I believe it, but they made the $4 billion bags. I think the first movie The new first Star Wars movie Made $2 billion alone So Yeah But they just over flooded it with Star Wars stuff

All right so let's see what's going on RSS feed Oh we had three downloads yesterday It's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean Wherever it may go Pretty cool 698 in the last 30 days Which is crazy numbers for me

2,197 all time maybe about a year I've been doing this somewhere around there now Elgin 5 downloads and it's just in the last 7 days it says Singapore 4 so Singapore's still hanging around there's pretty awesome

way way on the other side of the world so it's pretty cool I can get my voice way out there pretty awesome Minneapolis is 4 Miami is 2 and this is a new one Richland those are all in the United States Miami Richland

in Minnesota and Elgin. But Singapore, and I think it's the same Singapore that download all those ones I have. It's pretty awesome. Appreciate it. Oh, and of course we'd like to talk about all the big bucks I make here. So when you hear a commercial,

sorry about that. But I've made 38 cents. And my, since this was monetized, they've monetized, I think, in July. And my lifetime withdrawal, which I actually physically have been put to my PayPal count is 15 cents. So at some moment,

38 cents that's estimated balance will turn into available balance. The last time we did this, my first time I had a payment of 45 cents, it went down to 15 cents as actually being able to withdraw. So we'll see what happens to my 38 cents. Really interested in that because I want to know what the rest of my change went the first time around.

Let's see what happens again. You must take a cut on it. It's a big cut. So 45 cents I said I asked it says estimated balance. So I went from 45 cents of an estimated to actually making 15 cents. And right now we're at 38 cents. So we'll see what my actual balances when that moves over. What does is usually after certain balance of last updated on Friday.

So every Friday it updates. I just find that really interesting. All right. So let's go to the other place where I don't make any money. money which is YouTube big numbers though we got some numbers flying all over the place costs it's all from the promotions I I suppose to yeah last week I was supposed to have an interview with Google supposedly I'm still kind of questioning whether it's really Google or not and so I set up one for last

Monday at 830 and I never heard anything so midweek this week I got another message saying sorry I missed your thing so I said that for today at 830 trying to get some credits now put it almost probably five grand into Google promotions yet I've never gotten any sort of credit towards some more promotions all right so let's look at my numbers here on YouTube pretty much the same so my numbers are dropping 100 for subscribers that is one hundred three thousand one hundred and fifteen one hundred fifteen is going down from the 655 It says minus 466.

I officially stopped promoting for subscribers because I could have 700 million subscribers. Obviously it doesn't make a difference for what I do anyway. Views 1.7 million. So we just hit a new milestone, which is 5.5,500,000 views. Big numbers, I think. For me, they're huge. 13.1K views, hours. But in the day, we estimate.

revenue is $21.7. So only two videos now are left in my top. Many times the dishonest sneaky buyer. That's the one that's my featured. It'll stay featured on my main page here until the end of this month. I've been ordered it heavily and we're just going to leave it there. Trying something different. And then the other one is after 5 million views, I was trying to look for another affiliate.

to add to my there's that little money when I call it the money window well it can be the money window if you you got a lot of views so we're at 67,000 now so so you can see the video of talking about all my feedback I do that often too I also updated and moved up my dreaded returns negative neutral feedback negative neutral buyer or feedback issues over the years so you can see returns and all kinds of stuff from years although I what I did is I turned it upside down so you can see the old videos first all up to the new new videos of all the returns and issues I've had over the years that's my number one video underneath my many times to dishonest sneaky buyer

and then there's a link right there again the money window is inside the video where I look at the video and I can put one two three links that can I can click right there. You have to click on Read More, then it goes to another video, and then you have to click on Read More again to get to links. That's too many steps for buyers. I mean, for viewers. The money window is right there in front of you, which I can get three links.

So one of my videos that I did just recently is I can really add one more affiliate. I've wanted to do RSS.com. I applied for it, but I never heard it. So it's looking for an affiliate to throw in that little window. area. So affiliate would be someone, someone would click on it, and then if they subscribe to whatever that is, they click on, and I would get it a little bit. I'm trying to find a way it makes somebody in YouTube. I just can't find it. I just can't do it. It's just not possible. Oh, it's pretty frustrating. But I do videos every day. Again, it's just a routine, so it's nothing.

I just do it to do it to do it to try to make, well, I'd like to make money. I do it anyway. I just bought out what I do. So it was pretty long. Someday maybe it'll take off, but at this point I decided that it's just not. It's just a place to have a month. That's about it. Maybe every, make $100, every,

I think I've made a total of $500. A little over $500 in well over a year now, monetized. But I think I promoted almost $5,000. So we're really negative. But we'll just claim it at the end of the year. Taxes are coming up anyway. As advertisement.

I mean, again, it's gotten me lots of numbers. I got 1.7 million views, say, in the last 28 days, that's huge numbers. I mean, 5,500,000 views in total? That's giant. It doesn't make any sort of, there's nothing that, unless, again, I was trying to put affiliates in that little window. Maybe clicks on those would do something where all the views, but still nothing. But I have my store there, too. So speaking of my eBay store, let's see what we got going on.

Oh, it's some action. I threw a whole bunch of stuff up yesterday and I got a lot more to do. I want to get up to 20 to 2,000 listings. I'm way up over 1,600 now, which took me a long time. When I decided I needed to, you know where I'm going to survive. On my own is I need eBay to really ratchet up. So I started putting list things I changed my name to FF Archive Emporia, because I do both gaming, computing, and other stuff.

It's not just gaming. So we got rid of that. So we changed that. That was a nice upgrade, I think. So we have three. So I don't want to be limited to just the word gaming. So we've got some three sales. One is a hard drive.

Itachi 500, not an Xbox one. Got lots of those. Throw two in there. We have a, I would like a unit in the best possible condition. Thank you very much. So that is for the PS2 Slim intact black logo. It's the logo on the top of the Slim. And Xbox 316.

I have to go on a motherboard set. No power. Find that. What that one is? That's Xbox. E1538. Oh, I know what that is. I think I do.

I think I have to pull that, actually. So those are the three orders I have. We had lots of orders over the weekend. I got most of them done. Now let's look at feedback. Anything interesting? Everything. It came extremely packed well in an accepted condition.

Logo. Extremely fast shipping. Philips CDI 900 just drive diesel. This is a good one. Lightning fast shipping with a seamless transaction. Truly a pleasure to do business with highly recommended. Thank you so much.

That was for the Apple 512K M-O-O-1E Powerboard. Big and bulky thing. It was tested. It worked. The power block I ordered was exactly what I needed to get my PS4 working again. So I only have two things I'm waiting on and they came from Europe. It's a converter for my Omega 2000. I decided to get the keyboard, which is really expensive.

But we also got adapters before then. So the adapters, the one thing has not come in yet. And I'm waiting for a... This wasn't from even. This is from some tech website. It's a Raspberry Pi custom board. It takes a TTITY signal from my TND TRS-D model 2000, converts it into HTML.

It's like I don't have a monitor that will work that. I think both of those TND TRC2,000 work. And I have lots of goodies in the back for it. So I'm going to sell all that stuff. down the road oh let me look at so i'm waiting for one last thing which is both of them came from actually from ukraine i both those were from ukraine uh will help for little good poor guys out there and it's still says still in transit it made it to it's it's new york on the january 10th but i haven't seen update since pretty cool it's two different

i got two different styles i'm just gonna resell one because i got to get to keep keyboard really expensive I know it's crazy and I didn't pay that much for a keyboard but now my Amiga 2000 is all set up all right so I think about it let's see oh let's look at some messages here this morning let's see what we got going on let's check it out typing issue okay someone oh hey someone hold on I just run out I could actually cost me. Okay, yeah, understood. I need some slight errors in the listing,

but my intent was to detail all the best. So this is still about the disk drive. You didn't realize I didn't have the button. I forgot it didn't have the button. I made some slight errors in the list. but the intent was but the intent was was to detail it the best I could I totally spaced out the button missing I totally spaced out the button missing okay let's look at some other stuff there PS2 hard drive

okay this is how the hard drive you want to know the estimated time we have it Yeah, so these, this, these are clean. These are clean. I can even show you more detailed photos. To ask about a hard drive for the PS4 Slim and I have a hard drive with the cover. Even show you more that you get in photos. This is I would have no, I would, I always say.

I always say never invest, invest. I always say never invest in mechanical disk drive, especially a used one. They will all fail at some spend a bit more a solid state. Clean the drive, the drive or the drive was tested. I always say, I always say never, yeah,

any sort of mechanical drive that you have, the original hard drives don't away. But the solid street drives are still still pretty expensive. You get up to 2 terabyte, like 500 gigabyte? Or I say, I always say never invest in a mechanical disk drive, especially a used one. They will all fail at some point. Spend a bit more and get a solid state drive.

It's simple, simple, simple to new drive, PS3 or PS4 as it auto unlike the Xbox. Keep it honest. So that's the message on that. PS3, I want one of these to sell, want to buy. I have one of these is sell one by now. So my secondary payment is still chopping away at my loan, which is pretty awesome. Let's see.

So we have one offer, $60. It's for, I put a bunch of PS3 lots of controls up, but I'm not half-hacking down to nothing. So that's happening. Of course, as we always talk about, a half-hacker, especially with big lots like this, they half-hack weight.

I see more of half-than-hout. they're one-hit wonders meaning they'll do it once and I'll never see them again is somebody that's consistent if I decline something after you have hacked and then you come back again with another if you stop moving your way up getting closer to the I'll maybe at some point work with you but if you just half-hack once and never hear from me again of course I again one-hit wonder then I'm sort of they're gone all right so I think that's it again you have to have fun while you're doing this or you drive yourself insane so I think

that's it for this morning it looks pretty cool so a couple orders wasn't too crazy see if we can put a little you can come like to put on my labels you had to pay for that return boy eBay really messed me up on that one that whole debacle and then came back to way it shipped shouldn't have I had to take that return especially the way the buyer the way it all went down. All right, everyone. So that's going to be it for this morning. So we'll do some videos later.

We'll figure out what we're going to get going on. I'll attach to the video. You can see the conclusion of that on this podcast. And then I'll talk to everyone tomorrow. All right. Bye.
