Episode Date: February 10, 2025

I am Glad I did not stay up for the Super Bowl.

Good morning everyone. It is now 525 February 10th. Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday. I didn't stay up for the game. Although all I did all night long was dream about who won. So I'm finally going to figure out in one minute here who the winner is. I was going to stay up and watch it, I was doing a lot of other stuff, and I like to keep on my sleep schedule. Nothing I really wanted to watch. Would've been fun to watch it though,

but all I did was, we'll see the score in one minute and a second here. Worked on the Sega CD yesterday, so went through all the wood I have left of them. I have four motherboards that don't work. Two of each model, I think it is. Or at least one of each.

Two is the 4201A and the other one is the 4201. That was my afternoon video for a little while. And then I was playing a new game. I decided to sign up for PlayStation Plus. And it's a little while. And then I was playing a new game. I just, I decided to sign up for PlayStation Plus. And it's a cool game. Now I'm playing called Atlas.

Something about the sands, rains of sands. It's really cool. I'm a big fan of it. I started playing yesterday. I was like, wow, this is pretty fun. You get to go all places. You look for stuff and do stuff. So I'm a big fan of that.

So I started playing that yesterday. I would have never bought it or anything but it seemed pretty cool so so far so good all right so let's just get this score out of my head let's go so yeah the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40 to 22 all right so that's what I figured the Chiefs did not 3 repeat 3p3-P. I kind of figured that was going to happen. That was the other thing. So 40-32, they beat them all. I'm going to see how many first downs. Let's see the running back.

Let's see how he did. I was thinking he was going to be the Hurts. Two touchdowns. Patrickts, two touchdowns Patrick Holmes had three touchdowns two interceptions where's the running back though Jalen Hurts

so 40-22 so I just can't get that there's just another three peat which is fine So 40-22. So I just can't get that. There's just another three-peat. Which is fine. I'm glad the Eagles won. They scored 16 points in the last Kansas City, but it was too late. Kansas City, Philadelphia.

Looks like they run the game pretty good. So I'm glad I missed the game now. Yep. So all I did was dream all night long. Oh, one of the games sometimes I was saying Philadelphia, Kansas City. And sometimes I was saying it was Philadelphia. I was pretty confident that Kansas City was going to

run away with that. I mean, Philadelphia is going to run away with that game. Alright, it's cool. So we got that out of my head. Oh, thank goodness. Glad I didn't stay up for that. If it was a close game, I would have been like I like to watch that. But that looks like it was

a blowout pretty much. Even though Kansas City tried to come back at the end so they were bound to lose can't win them all it's a game someone's gotta win someone's gotta lose so kind of like this I would have liked Can't win them all. It's a game. Someone's got to win. Someone's got to lose. I would have liked to have seen the three-peat. At the same time, Philadelphia looked pretty good. Let's check some other local news here. Then we'll go on to my morning. See what else is going on. I'm not a bettor.

I would have bet on that game easily. Yeah. 10 most anticipated games in 2025. Oh yeah. That's some. Subnautical 2 and of course Death Stranding 2 is my absolute can't wait till it comes. I'm just going to play that forever when it comes in.

Probably not, but Subnautical 2 as well. And I think it looks like you can do third person, which would make that game so much better. Because I'm not a first person guy. If it's slow, like Resident Evil 7 or or eight those were slow first persons and it was resident evil so i had to play it uh but if it's really fast paced kind of shoot them um like a doom doom style forget it i'm out all right so let's go to etsy i have something big coming up i haven't seen it yet this is this guy with that uh return i haven't seen it yet. This is this guy with that return. I haven't seen it yet.

We're on the weekend here, so I'm sure I'm going to get some sort of a return message from Etsy. I don't want to return it because he pulled something off it or something happened. I don't want to get it back not the way I shipped it. So, that was supposed to be an as-is.

The game worked when I sent it so I don't know what's going on with that it's a big mess, big blow up but I stand on my ground on that one I even have the video showing I even make sure I retest it because I had a feeling this knucklehead was all about that game that was on it

and that was a huge red flag right from the beginning but I gave the person the benefit of the doubt. And I made sure I made a video showing, yes, you just turn the 3DS on and you just play the game. If you did something to that 3DS after you got it, then that's your problem. Kansas City got beat up. I'm kind of glad they're almost as

they're probably a better dynasty than the Patriots were pretty much but they pretty much stayed intact until this off season alright so we're on to eBay

I jumped over to eBaybay for a second here so I got some offers here let's see let's check my messages feedback hmm $30 $6 1S oh we did that one $5 oh someone gave me a $5

offer I would like those oh yeah it's not going to happen. Some things that are, you know, worn or whatever, you want to offer $5, that's great. You can do that, but I'm going to decline it because Puerto Rico, it's going to cost me $7. Actually, now it's about $8 to ship something.

So if you're offering me $5, just go away because it's not possible. I'm up to almost $13. Actually, I am at $13 a listing. I need to upgrade, update a lot of my listings. Feedback, we had a little bit of a bump in the road yesterday. Talked about that for a few minutes. Let's see what we got today.

Exactly as described, front port's see what we got today. Exactly as described. Front port's tested. Needs battery replaced. This other guy with the word intact seemed untrue. So then I put a whole reply to that. And then I sent him the reply. And then he got really weird with messages.

So I blocked him. Pretty simple stuff. All my port covers for the Nintendo Wii port cover. They're as intact as I can get them. I picked the best ones I have. Some of them are not intact so I can't sell them.

But those I will put into a little part slot and sell those too. All those I always sell. A couple little small orders. uh, uh, parts lot and sell those too. Cause people, they, all those are always sell a couple little small orders. Nothing. Just a couple of a one, two,

two small orders for game cube. All right. So let's go over to kind of mix it up here a little bit this morning. So let's go to YouTube. Let's see what's going on there. Yeah. It's just, I was constant dreams all night about who was going to win, who won, and why, and all that. It was crazy.

I couldn't out-sleep it. I tried to. All right, let's see so we're at uh 17,861 subscribers which is very exciting uh it says my average duration went up to 12 minutes and 30 seconds yet my revenue went down to 28.97 bummer so any pretty much have given up on trying to expect

somehow at some point this is gonna ramp up monetize wise I don't know why it just doesn't everyone else you see all the professionals out there showing all these big checks and stuff, but I just don't have the correct stuff to retain people. But I can only do what I do, right?

You just do you is all you really can do. I just do me and whatever gets me, that's where I'm at. So yeah, SIG yeah Sega CD we spent some fun time with that yesterday now I'm gonna get parts listed for that and I got a double back to Intellivision one two I got those all taken apart you gotta retest and then Magnavox Odyssey 2. I've got some of those. I've got lots of games of those to sell.

I bought them in a big parts lot. So I'll probably sell them that way again. I may or may not. Like a game lot actually. Not a parts lot. A game lot. So most of my videos are just a few here and there. I've done a few more $5 video promotions.

I think I'm up to, what did I count, $60 now I've spent this month on promotions. And $5 really doesn't get me too much. I have to really just start showing. I can't spend another $200 this month. So that's what I spent last month on promotions. And it significantly helped me get a lot more subscribers. Which is great. I'll take every one I can get.

Although I think a lot of them are fake though. Let's look at my RSS feed here. Oh yeah, all the commercials yesterday. I used to be really into it. But I'm just not into it anymore. It's going to stay up. I'm glad I didn't now. Although it was the nightmare of the game

haunted me all night. But besides that, I'd rather sleep. Keep my schedule. Alright, so let's see. I've only been getting like one or two downloads, which I appreciate anybody that

still hangs in there with me. I'm trying to come up with some new ideas for more gaming stuff going forward. I am going to try maybe today well today's going to be hard because I got lots of orders to do. So I probably won't get to anything today but maybe I'll do a short we'll start with a

original like an Atari controller. See how it works and maybe do a few different ones around there Atari Coleco something like that see how they work and do a little podcast about that so that'll be fun so

so we'll go on to that oh and let me check something else here nope that's still not there to that. Oh, and let me check something else here. Nope, that's still not there. Alright, so that's where I'm at there. Let's go back to eBay here. Yeah, so two, one is the Nintendo

GameCube, all the screw sets. Inside and out. And I sold so many of those. Actually, I'm going to add some more. I've sold hundreds of those. So, screw sets,

outer covers, stuff like that always gives back well after you sell all the other parts. Um, I'll put four for now. However, I'm starting to get low on those after all these years selling those I have so many

but it's because there's certain screws that are missing I don't know how many more of those I have to make a complete set and I should have some screws around somewhere else too I just haven't quite found them so so let's see what else

we got so we have that one and what else I had this morning okay oh the other

one is all I think it's all the metal also GameCube so over the years GameCube by far as I've said

many times is it's just a metal plate actually the top metal plate with all the screws around it such GameCube. So over the years GameCube by far as I've said many times is just a metal plate actually. The top metal plate with all the screws around it. GameCube has been by far the most parts sold in a landslide from any other system. And it's been a long

time since I bought any systems but at some point I will get some more stuff. I just I decided to go to vintage computing and I stopped buying gaming stuff and now I'm not buying

anything gaming local at all anymore so I'm just kind of living off what I have but the vintage computing was mostly for my own personal to learn about but I have been selling some stuff vintage computing Apple. Sold some really good Apple stuff. And I've got lots of other Apple stuff to sell.

Still same thing. I take it apart. I'll sell pieces off of them. Once in a while I'll sell. I sold a couple Atari systems complete. Broken or otherwise. I may go to do. I got some power adapters.

For Atari's, you have to sell them, because I sold mostly all the systems, the Texas Instrument, the Atari, what I'm talking about, the Atari 400s, 800s,

then there's a 600XL, and the 1200XL, and an 800XL, all those I sold, the motherboards, and most of the keyboards, keyboards are always popular, Texas Instrument, I sold lots motherboards and most of the keyboards keyboards are always a popular Texas instrument I sold lots of keyboards off of those the ti 99s I still have some other boards left I just sold the tan model of the Texas

instrument motherboard just the other day so little things like that oh yeah I used to have Commodore 64s i sold all the motherboards off of those keyboards as well and also i had two commodore 128s i kept one and they had a jiffy jiffy dos two of them some sort of a mod thing each one of those i sold for for for a good amount because they had that little extra. So I kept one 128. Which actually I'm going to bring out. Actually probably soon.

Because I'm going to. I've got 1, 2, 3 disc drives to retest. For the 128. 2 I'll sell. Maybe keep one. A cassette. I think I got a cassette player. And also some other atari original model

trs80 stuff so i got lots of vintage computer stuff i wanted to learn about or just try out again so i just kind of ditched getting more gaming stuff and just went to other things so i kind of uh kind of messed up my store a little bit because I didn't have as much stuff to list. But eventually we'll go back to it and get the Kadokis. It's my favorite thing ever. It's a place where you can get

big piles of lots of parts and stuff. I used to always do good off of Kadokis. But it's a few hundred dollars up front to get it. So, haven't done it. Probably won'tis but it's a few hundred dollars up front to get it so haven't done it probably won't be doing it for a while but at some point i will maybe uh it comes spring or something i was hoping that my youtube would pay off that was it was a gamble i kind of put all my eggs in the basket thinking if i kept plugging away at it once I got to the 4,000 hours and got monetized I'd have that

good extra income or even per week I was hoping per month not even that's not even per month now I'm at per five months and I haven't made a hundred dollars so that's not happening and no matter how many videos I can put out per day it just doesn't make a difference not at all there's no if I see it significantly going up or so but it's not so I just keep doing videos because I do them because I'm doing other stuff and just

take it as it is it's just that if I make a hundred bucks someday I'll be ecstatic seriously I'll be really really ecstatic when I see Google actually give me $100 into my account instead of taking out $300, almost $400 taken out for promotions on YouTube.

But I don't know how else I'm going to do it. There's no thing I can do. I even now, like I said, I still want to promote, but I can only do a little $5 squirts here and there. So it'll take a listing from, say, 15 or 20 views to maybe 500, 600 views. It's a big difference. But it doesn't, again, not help me out. All right, so that's my morning.

I'm sticking to it. So the Philadelphia Eagles easily beat up on Patrick Mahomes. And I guess that was actually kind of cool. I'm sure everyone that bet against the Kansas City is really happy this morning. Anybody that bet for Kansas City is really bumming out. It's a Super Bowl 25. Yeah, so that was pretty... Okay.

All right, so you guys have a good afternoon. Maybe later on I'll pick up maybe for... Let's see if I can do a cartridge later. The snow that we had yesterday... Oh, that was the other thing. I had to do snow yesterday morning. We had a good probably eight inches of snow. But what happened is

after I shoveled it all, midday it all, most of it melted. So, I mean like all the driveway part. I have a few little piles that have still got snow to them. But it pretty much melts it away.

But we have another little storm coming in. But that's more of like a wintry mix, rain with the yucky stuff. And then there's another one, I think it's Wednesday or Thursday. So we're into February. looking forward to some spring and we'll i did some cool uh video winter wonderland videos yesterday out in the backyard those came out pretty cool i like those so i really hadn't taken any videos i do it in the summer, working out in the backyard, mowing the lawn, trimming trees, something like that. But I never really did anything with the winter. So I did a couple of good ones of those in the backyard.

My carports are back there. I use them for extra storage. I showed a little glimpse into my gazebo, which is packed high to recyclable stuff. A lot of it's good stuff, too, in there. But all things that are going to be for this spring. We'll see. We'll see how much I can get done in the spring. Spring, definitely into the summer.

All right, so I think that's it. That's all I got to think of. Nothing else in the news except for the football. I didn't even want to watch the halftime show or anything. Nothing I was interested in. I thought the game would be a lot better than it ended up being, so I'm super

excited that I didn't watch it. Alright. So no three-peat. Alright, so you guys have a good day. I'll talk to you later on. Alright, bye.
