Testing a Blue LED 💙 T-X3-F1 Custom 4-Pin Fan for Xbox PHAT 360Unboxing a LOT of Aftermarket Controllers for SNES and Genesis

Good morning, everyone. It is now 5.58. Today's Friday. So end of the work week for the short work week that we had. And September 5th, 2025. And we'll go into a nice weekend. The whole week's been really pretty cool. Warm during a day and then cooling off at night, but not that cool yet. Where I need a second blanket. Actually, it's been hot sleeping, so still. Next week, we're going to knock down the temperature at night and during the day. So we're going down to the 70s, and then there's actually some 40s coming at night. But so we'll not quite need a second blanket yet, but we'll definitely will be soon, though. So yesterday we had a, actually last night, we had a good Project Journeyman overnight views. significantly up I spent a long time

doing the visuals on the wall there I had a concept that I wanted to do which is a conversation back and forth idea so it kind of came to took me a while to teach my buddy Zippy

what I wanted to do it's really hard to communicate but I'm going to go ahead now I can communicate with him my buddy Zippy and tell him what idea I want and of course he does all the programming and that's a pretty much massive programming just to get that conversation going and we use that idea for other stuff as well and then we also did a second I added a double

feature last night and I had a second P-Y program with which had two different things within it doing lots of visuals and so which having fun with the back wall I'll keep doing ideas. And someday my brain scan thing will come in from China. And we'll see if we can monitor my brain waves. Because, you know, I said I had just craziest dreams. It was all over the place. It's pretty wild.

Again, ever since, well, I've always had crazy dreams anyway, but having, knowing that you're live while you're sleeping, yeah, makes it even more intense, I should say. It's pretty wild. So I have to make sure that sleeping, but normally that's the way I sleep anyway just I don't really move around actually I seem to move around more now but it's pretty fun it's interesting it's uh untapped potential that time of night for 12 hours so I'm trying to find use for it as best I

can because I had to stop promoting now so my numbers are going to go way down my subscribers but you know it got pretty far so we're just gonna take it for what it is to YouTube and just have fun with it As well, I've always been having fun with it anyway. I just thought maybe I can actually make a side hustle out of it. I was hoping for us to buy a hustle, but I'm just not doing it. It's just not happening. All right, let's check the news this morning.

So daily we just keep our routine as we always do. It's not going to change. Try to add more things to it when I can. I did a couple of quick little videos yesterday. Let's see. Oh, football was last night. Let's see a one. What do I not see?

Thursday night. It was a football game last time. Uh, NFL. Gee, give this schedule. Scores. Scores. first game last night and the eagles beat the cowboys 24 to 20 so eagle player suffers nasty injury on the first playoff season oh that's terrible

20 24 Cowboys lost the first game I don't know why they still call Cowboys the America's team there so not the America's team yeah it was built in Kansas City I consider them in America's team. All right, so let's keep looking around. So that's why. I won't stay if they're watching any football games. I'll see interesting to see what my Patriots are doing. I already forecasted them not winning the first game in my dreams last night.

They lost. So we'll see. So looking at all the news, check it out. The Samsung Fold phones, it seems so weird. Glass that fold. Nothing I would ever invest in. Mike Tyson versus Floyd Medwell, Mayweather. Another box in, Old Man, Lightning.

Good fun. Okay, so I'm not really seeing anything in the news. So we did get our first football score. I got my TV all set up to watch Sundays. I have a routine that I'll start again. Around 10 o'clock, I put the TV on, and we'll do other projects. And then we'll watch the first NFL preseason. I like the CBS one.

I suppose I don't like Fox. And then we'll watch whatever game's on. but I won't, like, sit and watch. Like, I'll be doing stuff, but it'll be on in the background. That's what I consider watching TV during the day. One time I actually just watch something that night, I'll go in my bed and I got my Chromebook that I bought. It's a big screen, and I could sit there just watch a movie or show or something.

I was really into a lot of the prime video stuff, Apple TV, Macs. but I've shut them all down now because I need to have a carpet so those days are done for now all right so let's see what's going here on Etsy

we have all the orders this week 10 orders a few bucks no orders today I haven't seen any other feedback orders good or bad not necessarily once the blue mon I get a bad feedback on Etsy sometimes I may have a

mistake on but you normally usually pretty good feedback i try to make sure everything is uh as it's supposed to be but you know we're all human things happen whereas just i hardly ever get a bad buyer on Etsy once in one as opposed to ebay all right so let's look oh i cancelled that migration program for shopify because it was kept taking off other things so let's look at that one sale now waiting for my payment to get released I would assume it's not going to get

released until that buyer gets his item see if you figure out where that is it's still in transit my sales I have one sale still says in transit I couldn't get out until Tuesday because Monday was a holiday and I didn't notice that I had a sale on last Saturday or probably could have got out on that Saturday I made myself look good if you already had it by now not so much so and then we did a video It was for the Nintendo Wii U white game pad. The last one I had, U.S. one, that is. We tore it down and made sure all the little clips are good.

And that we should. That was for his order. Let's look at RSS feed. Yeah, I looked at all my RSS feed, I guess. You guys get commercials, but as, as, you know, with my YouTube, it's not really, it didn't pay anything. I don't see any income at all from them, from them, say.

Kind of a bummer. I was hoping maybe somewhere I could get an extra side hustle. I just can't, I really need extra, now I really need another side hustle. So I will hustle, but I just can't spend it. All right, so let's see if we have any downloads. But we keep in system, zero download yesterday. So, you know, Cleveland, Chicago, Lear, Learsome, and Netherlands, Iraq, the United States.

So nothing going on. Those are the ones that were the last couple days. Nothing yesterday. Let's see. Shopify. So I'm not sure I'm doing Shopify. I may just pause it for a while. All right.

Let's see, I didn't realize I would have to do the taxes and all, so I wanted to add a store to my YouTube, but I was the only one I could add. Still, but I pulled off the migration program, because it was messing. Right now it's just, don't show, show my orders now. It's not migrating anymore, so yesterday I had one sale. All my orders from yesterday came out, I took that migration program off. And it looks like I'll probably just pause Shopify, I think. So let's go to YouTube. We're losing subscribers now pretty much.

All right, so let's go to, you know. Oh, there's a game I want to get today. I wasn't going to buy any games, but it's like a really creepy survival horror game. It begins with a C-Cidadel or something like that. It looked pretty cool. It was either that or metal gear solid, but I'll say that for some other time. I wanted to get a game and decided to keep my PS-4-5 now. Yes, we have 1.2K views from an overnight project journey, man.

I had eight thumbs up, so that's pretty good. Well, seven, I always get my seven thumbs up. Of course, everything is going way, way down, though. Let's see. We got one comment here. It says, I always use my old PC fans on my growing room to circulate here. my grow womb to circulate air oh oh cool cool cool cool great idea i got so many fans from great idea i use a heat sink cool room so when he's saying a grow room what would you think

a grow warm with me so his comment was this is now but in youtube it says i am and we're talking about the Xbox 360 fan testing. I shipped a fan, special one I found inside one. I had blue LEDs, and it was pretty cool. So I sold it. It went international, so I wanted to make a video showing that it all worked. All the lights worked, everything worked before I shipped it, just so that way. I have no problems later.

So his comment to that fan testing video was I always used my old PC fans. on my grow room to circulate air. So grow room to me would be, what, marijuana? What else would you be growing in a room? Right? That's what I would think that way. It's under Mr. Baked Daily. Well, that kind of just summed it up, didn't it?

Mr. Baked Daily has a grow room. Does that make, yeah, that's pretty much, I think I'm right there. That was really funny. Once I read that, Mr. Bake Daly. I couldn't imagine being high. So, yeah, everything's going down. We're still at 72,000.

We're going down. We'll look at the last three numbers now. We were at 72,000, I think, 811. One of my promotions finally ended. Now we're at 772. So we're going down a little bit. 72,000 is still there. flash 15 seconds

are my only big numbers now box after market controllers at 1.3 my Project Journeyman gives me 1.2K views but they're only for a few seconds people come in

I did I tried to I did like yesterday worked for a couple hours with my buddy Zippy to have come up with longer

durations for my visuals with new ideas it took a while to do those two that's pretty cool we'll continue on that on that street there again it's untapped potential that time of night why not use it so it's giving me some views it probably gonna be probably gives me a few new subscribers here and there

you don't want to see it doesn't really it does show where you can see that when you log out yeah when I end the live video it'll say x amount of new subscribers from it so we have to go to a new direction which is uh no promoting or if i'm going to do one of it just one like 20 bucks the problem is i do one for 20 bucks the next thing you know i've done a whole bunch more so i just say i'm not doing any promotion it's it's better it kind of cuts me off so we're going to try to stay on that theme because it's not really generating if I thought

it was getting me more income I'd be into it but this is just not an interesting concept I have going on here all the work

it seems like all the views and everything and yet no reward just kind of go on it oh I just need to finish my life

and then we Processing my live feed. I'll be a putter. So let's add the second part. I haven't. I add the second part to my live feed in the night before. Oops, I just...

I missed it. No, I'm back. Oh. Cobb Session feet imprints. Although I don't really check them. They're not really set up correctly, but at least they're there. I was checking my overnight as I was sleeping, but I haven't done it in a few nights. Oh, good to them.

All right. That's a bad. That's cool. I like the visuals I had the night before. They didn't know how the visuals last night. I haven't to do a scene with just all kinds of different 3D visuals. And then I do a scene with us, you know, to awards and some sort of a structure to it. And then I did the other one where I had the, I have two characters, two different boxes that talk to each other.

That was hard to do to get my body's if we did come up with that. It was really, really hard. Obviously, I didn't program it. My God, that would never happen. So, estimated revenue, $36.74. cents. So maybe at the end of this month, maybe we will. But that's only for like the last it's for the last month. It's not estimating what it made for the, it doesn't show like the day. Some days I only make a few cents. Now they're not promoting it's really. All right. So let's

move on to the actual morning, which is eBay. I don't think I'll see. I might have I've got two offers. Let's see. I have my PS5 portal listed, but I wanted a lot less than I'm going to sell it for. I'll just keep it. No messages, no sales, Friday, a few offers, we'll check them out.

Fast shipping, Nintendo Wii. screw sat as described my Sega Dreamcast so we have four messages and one off

let's say $20 $20 I say these offers are crazy that's why 12 cases and outwork I have a $60

in a month $20. It's got to be within a realm of what I want to sell it for. I'm just not going to do it. Okay. All right, let's look at my, my 145. You know what? I need a sale.

So it's your birthday. I'm going to sell that 145. Somebody else offered it. That's a different. person so we'll take that one so we'll sell my portal that'll give me some extra money I get a good deal out of it comes with the case I'm just not going to lose it I may sell I really don't want my switch to five dollars see there's a five dollar offer so do with those I just to climb them and then I block a

I never have to deal with it. Don't offer me $5. I mean, if you can, but I'm just gonna block you if you do. Then you can go and find somebody else. I'm gonna do a $5. Even with my $4 shipping, I get to $9, that's about where I make. So just my list is growing.

I can do up to $5,000. up to 5,000 per day so I mean 5,000 total I just want to weed out these people that think I can do it's just a little part I understand that but I understand that but it is a process you're paying for service you're not just paying for that that exact part service I can't make four or five dollars per order it's not worth all right so we decided we're gonna we'll sell that one nine dollars all right so the screw is connected a slot to the motherboard I mean well the long black screws fit the carpentish slot on a third

gen Genesis. Third Jan Genesis. Oh, I don't think so. I'm not sure. I am unsure. That should be, this should be the same size for all three. three. So there is a Sega Genesis 1631 and the original Sega Genesis 1601, but there's also a Sega Genesis 3, which is a really small. He's asking about the screw set inside, like specifically the cartridge slot. They have to be the same because the cartridge is the same. Let's say California.

So maybe we sold one thing today, but it's a bigger thing. The portal is really cool. I'd love to keep it, but it's just not the cards. So maybe we sold that. Let's see. and then we'll go right back on to listing a lot more stuff today I started doing much of stuff yesterday I went through some controllers we're gonna get all those listed so we just keep listing stuff but if you're gonna offer me a little bit

off from the offer that I'm not gonna take it is what it is we'll just keep we'll just keep putting stuff up I got lots of vintage computer stuff I got to get back to that some really cool selling a lot of that stuff still have a whole bunch of stuff that I know buyers will want another Commodore 128 I have I need to I've got two of the just drives listed and I have one more left I think works it's all it's all fading and stuff but I think it's the one that worked the other one that I don't work. When I look at Commonwealth 64 today, I shall be just going to say, I tried it.

No luck. I'll just pause it or something. I like to attach it to my store. I mean, attach it to my YouTube? It'd be cool. Right now, I think I have three months of a dollar. After that, I just have to. And then it goes up to like $30 a month.

It's been $30 a month. I'm not making it. But it could be helping me get more orders on YouTube. eBay, but right now eBay is going to be kind of interesting. No visitors. It's not really doing anything. I figure we try it for a little while. But I would have to keep the taxes and then submit them or something.

I don't want to set up taxes in where I want to say that we're probably just going to say that this was an idea that just never going to happen so we're going to plan I'm going to one dollar change plan I just get out of this it's all one dollar Cancel plan, that's what I want to do. Cancel plan, close the store will keep your data for two years. Start a new store, switch to pause and build. The building new store doesn't go check out. I'm just going to cancel that. Review the information.

Select the reason. I'll have time around the store. All right, so cancel plan. All right, so we're going to get out of Shopify before I get myself in something like you plan was cancancers. We'll save store data for two years and maybe we'll come back to it sometime. That's cool. Monthly, it's $39 a month. No way.

So we'll take that off of my store here on YouTube. Cancel that store route. I've never had any sales. at all or anything on YouTube anyway through a shopping I've got that little t-shirt store thing that I use so we'll use a new stores will disconnect disconnect remote channels you stores so that's my only store just my t-shirts are up there now it's not selling it either but it's just fun to have something i can say to have a store right and then i'll take the store off my have another store which one did i so the only one i have on here

is the fourth wall i took shop file off t public wicks you can make your own website same concept fourth wall i wish i could connect my ebay to this that would be cool fourth wall i'm not sure what that is public t t public or just it's just another shop shop line looking for another store to youtube oh that's japan shoplons or something going on i don't know fourth wall i never quite understood what that's about i don't understand what the whole concept of fourth wall launch your youtube shop The best platform to sell merchandise digital products to more than your audience. So that's kind of the fourth wall, but it looks like it's just t-shirts and stuff as well.

It's under some reason that's a good murder of a sell on YouTube in three steps. Create a shop, connect accounts, promote your shop. So we'll look at the fourth wall again. Maybe I can use that in some way. Signing with Google. I already have an account. I just don't have anything connected to it. Your shop.

Products must be live eligible show. Action required. To connect you, enter YouTube Studio. do something I'll have to click connect on it that's why all right so let's connect I'd like to have two stores

run I can add another store which is fourth wall I had it connected and I think it to go wrong so let's put it later on today I'll see if we can add something to for Login. Not connected.

Click here. To reconnect. Okay. Manage products. Now I'm connected. Product pool is that. Managed products. I have no products. What do I get products? it until I had something I'd have to make something but I think I could make

digital I have an idea for some digital stuff I've got all the may you do that maybe here somewhere along the way I came across Sega Dreamcast all the games there's three different sets of games discs rather that have all the games in in their download form and maybe I can make that a digital bundle and sell like that

something see if you can do that that's an idea we'll do that we'll put them on a thumbnail thumb drive right we'll put them out

first I'll show you the discs I have will get on my computer I can use we'll load them up and we'll shoot and we'll make that video later I am I have some other computers

that I'm going to turn into a little mini early gaming computers and then sell those as well it's another thing that's coming I've got a bunch of little desktop small ones a couple big ones do but we're going to throw some I've got a cool DVDs got all kinds of

the fun early quest games Kings Quest, Space Quest, all those so we're going to take those desktops and make them into a little quest game for someone that wants them and they can run it runs through a DOS box so you can do it on Windows 7

pretty awesome so if you're into if you're into all those kind of games so you'll get the you'll get the desktop and it'll be loaded with all the games pretty awesome let's see do we someone respond now okay so this guy we plan this guy's nice okay do you think you can let me know you get more parts in for three yeah so I only I would not be getting any anything else in I have a few parts for those left that's that's it that is I would be kidding. I would not.

I would not. That's amazing. It's 6.30 in the morning, I'm replying to all messages and everything as I do every morning and doing any sales. but it's always interesting when I get a potential buyer reply at 6.30 in the morning to my message, to my reply rather. And they usually

leave me overnight while I sleep. I'm in my project journeyman mode. So of course I'm doing everything first thing here in the morning. But yeah, it's always interesting. And sometimes they're like in California, so it's like right now it's

three hours earlier than that. So they're like they must have their phone. on. I'm not a phone guy. I shut everything off. I don't know deal with a phone, other than needing it to do a two-point verification and all that stuff. Texts once in a while for appointments, but I've really nobody that calls me or anything silly like that. So my phone's on, but not at night. I shut everything off. Except my phone for the project journey, man. That's on running all night. All right. So we're going to do...

So that's another... Okay, so that's that. Took that offer for a little bit less. See if that comes through. Then we're going to work on some computer stuff today. Okay. No problem. I'm always here to help.

all right so that's that okay so that's it for this morning you guys around for a little bit longer oh yeah a little bit half hour so all right so everyone have a good weekend enjoy the uh well get through the friday work week work day today then you're into the weekend and then we're pretty much back on tracking it all right so have a great day i'll talk to you later bye
