3/1/26 Thank you AI cause i have no talent! Also silent auction final update

0:04 One, two, one, two. Okay, that's working.

0:09 [groaning] [sighs]

0:10 I believe I'm live. And my stream conditions are excellent. Hold on. Hold on. Oh my goodness, my goodness, my goodness. I think my I got to clean off that thing. Hold on.

0:36 Oh my god, come on. How are you everybody? I hope everybody's doing well today. Hold on, let me do this. Yeah, there we go. Look. Can almost see myself. So,

0:57 [sighs]

0:58 what have I learned over the last couple days? Uh quite a bit. Quite a bit. Number one, I have no talent. All right? I cannot create art or anything like that. Um I had hired somebody a while back to create a banner for the uh YouTube channel. And she charged me like $400. And all she did was I mean, as many times as I asked to change it, it you know, it took forever and I you know, I I I never liked the banner that I had. Uh let me just check something here, folks. Okay, that's coming. That's coming.

1:44 That's coming. That's coming. Okay. We got a mail update. I got stuff coming. And

1:51 [clears throat]

1:52 for me, it was it was it you know, I just like okay, well, fine. It's just a young kid. They understand how to make stuff like this and and everything like that. And they took advantage and just here you go. Here's the money. So it was it was like burning $400. So now with this AI thing, I don't need talent. I don't need to know how to use all these different programs. I just type in there what I want. Now learning how to type the right thing is a pain in the neck. But I really like the covers that I've been I've been putting up. Um I wonder if I can go to my screen.

2:40 I don't think I can. I forgot what I I I I name I I put everything as. But now at least and just looking here, you know, I got new covers and stuff like that. And I've been putting new covers to the video and it actually helped. I've gotten more subscribers. I mean, go figure, right? And I'll give you the stats. Because I've been a little bit more detailed in what I do. Let's take a look. Hold on here, folks. And I'll update the auction. The auction will end at 6:00 6:00 Eastern tonight.

3:26 Okay? And I'll update you on that and you'll you'll still have a chance to bid on everything. That way before I go to bed cuz I usually go to bed by 8:00 9:00 somewhere in there because I got to get up early and go to the gym and stuff like that. Um if if somebody bids last second, I can I can let the other person know. Seems fair, right? Uh okay, let's go to our stats for February. Okay? Okay, so here's the thing. All right, last month I had I had 22 new subscribers.

4:04 [clears throat]

4:04 This month I got 900 and 80 subscribers. Yeah. I'm almost at 25,000 and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I think a lot of it had to do with the Sam thing. Uh that's got over 10,000 views. Well, let's take a look. All right. Uh my my Maple Leafs uh video uh got 5.3. God, they're horrible this year. Um since I started putting covers on, I'm getting better views. Okay. I did a follow-up with Sam that did 2,000. Just uh hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

4:50 View all. Okay. Okay, here we go.

4:56 [clears throat]

4:59 Uh didn't do too good with the BGG Hall of Fame because everybody loves BGG. Uh Valpara did very well. Shadowverse did 1.5. Whole Holo Live Elite Spark uh did 1.4. Uh Dungeon World did 1,000. So, I'm doing better things. Yeah. 10,000 for Sam. Uh Hide in Stone did very well. Uh ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

5:42 Yeah, you know, everything's around five you know, 500. Some of them around 100, 200, which you know, was was showing the decline of the channel. But now that I'm putting different different uh covers on, I'm going to redesign the website, I mean the YouTube channel, and everything's become fun. And I've created a whole bunch of new all this week. You'll see new covers, okay? Uh things that I couldn't do. The thing that kills me though, I'm going to tell I'm going to tell you this. Like you're going to see uh LA 1 tomorrow, okay? I take a look at it, all right? It says review, huh? Uh Riftbound, League of Legends. I I take a look at that game. Really, really nice uh um uh thing. Uh I also did Cloudspire.

6:35 Uh heart the Harbinger, I got that in. Uh and I still got a ton more videos. I I I did a a box opening of of um Riftbound, the newest box. I've gotten more of it coming in. Um I got Godzilla cards, Shadowverse. I've got the Infernal Machine, Dawn of the Submarine Warfare, which is really, really good. Uh the upgrade to 2.0 uh 2.0 for um Mr. President. Um dark si- dark tide, the card game we got coming up. Uh what else do we got coming up? I got a bunch of stuff. Uh I'm going to I'm going to start trying to work in those playthroughs, like I said. So, the channel all of a sudden got some life into it.

7:30 And with the help of AI, I'm able to create things that make sense. Uh where is it? It's right here, Matthew. Let's see if Matthew gets a Godzilla. Let's see if my dog gets it. Let's see. All right. Matthew Rose.

8:04 I think the one in my room doesn't I have two of them. I found one at a bin store with my wife and I said, well, I I I'm not going to let anybody else get this. I'm going to get it. So, there you go. Uh good morning, Rob. I have been researching this whole AI thing. I don't see the problem why people are crying about this. I'll tell you why because there are some talented artists out there, but there most of them are nuts in the head. Um and the problem is is that everybody thinks their art is the greatest art in the world. So, they really charge people a lot of money. Now, don't get me wrong. If you want to make a living as an artist, it it it's a hard life. And you've got to charge top dollar because you just don't know where your next project's going to be.

8:53 And I get where people complain, well, AI can do it in 2 seconds. Well, I get that, okay? I get that. Um is AI perfect? No, but for somebody that has no talent, all right, and really can't afford to spend the money, if I can put something in there and make my channel look decent. And and and that's the thing, you know, a lot of these guys know how to shoot things professionally. They make these professional, you know, they take the time to make professional thumbnails, you know, where when you ask AI to make it it's funny. I have to put a keyword, no people, because every time you get some some guy in there that hasn't shaved in 5 days gone. I can't stand that. I can't stand that.

9:40 Um but you know, it grabs views and that's what AI sees. Oh, all the you know you know all the people you know being fools making weird faces and pointing, that's going to get you to click on it. Um I may I just like to keep things a lot simpler and you'll see that, you know, and like today's um cover for the for for for this particular video. I really like that. I would like to get that kind of trimmed down into something and and create a banner, you know, and just make it really really cool. You know, yeah, it's AI, but I have the ability to compete. All right, I'm an old guy that doesn't doesn't want to I first of all, I don't have the time to learn how to do all this other crazy editing and video stuff. I just want to put something in, get something that catches my eye and spice up the channel a bit and it seems to be working and I'm I'm very happy about it.

10:48 So, I'm just going to keep plugging away at it. We'll see what you know, we'll see what happens. You know, maybe I'll be around a lot longer than I thought. But, you know, time will tell. Time will tell. You know, we got the the cable company coming in finally. Uh oh, Heroes of the Sanctum I've got coming, too. I've got to make that video. Geez, I got a lot of work to do out here. Lot of work. You know, when you when you're busy trying to film and figure things out and clean things up, I mean, who has time for a lot of stuff? I mean, really, honest to God. Uh let's run down.

11:31 Let's run down. I think I have this all right. Uh two What this is 265 Hold on. I just want to make sure I got the right numbers here. Brand of uh Phoenix, if you see this, I I said okay to that thing, so I'll I'll put it together and I'll I'll get a hold of you. Uh ba ba ba ba ba. Okay, so I mean this isn't doing too well, but I I don't care. I I need to get whatever room I can. You know, what are you going to do? Uh So lot number one, let's go over this.

12:16 It ends at 6:00 tonight. Lot number one, which is massive amount of comics and and uh Oh, excuse me. Um omnibuses uh that it has no bids. The war game lot has no bids. Canfire is at 150. Age of Mythology is at 265. Uh Galaxy Defender is at 150. Arcadia Quest is at 150. I don't even know if I can let that go at that, but whatever. Uh Kingdom Death Monster 475 video game lot which is really good because it it it's worth about 700 800 bucks.

13:10 Uh especially with that controller that's in there. And I threw a nice little handheld uh emulator in there. And then some other peripherals. Um that's at 200 bucks. League of Legends board game zero. And then finally the core Nearshima hacks and a couple other games and the role-playing game is at 250. So, that's where we're at. So, there you go.

I thought somebody bid something. I hope I didn't miss it. It's been uh my my mother-in-law's dog is 15 years old and uh having a tough time. So, we've had a lot of headaches with that yesterday. So, uh you know, we'll just see how it goes. All right.

Sam bid 150 for that. Okay. Might try to buy and that the the Galaxy Defenders is worth a lot more than than that. Jeez. Hey, it's tax tax time. I understand.

16:15 Uh, let me just make sure we didn't miss anything. Looks like we're doing all right. Looks like we got it. Okay. John asked a question about lot eight. Um, my bro took care of that.

Um, and I've got everything under the sun for this game. I love this game. Love it. Yep, Rising Horizon Wrath, all the different factions and stuff like that. Love playing that game. Um, let's see. Yeah, so, I also was thinking you know, cuz I was I was feeling kind of feisty, of of the top 10 scumbags of board gaming.

18:39 I mean, I started listing them out of all all the the the people that cheat and are dirty and are scummy, um, and do sleazy things. And I came up with 25. 25. And this is from knowing the business. And I was thinking, boy, this would be a fun list. It would get a lot of hits, but boy, it would it would it would it would drive people nuts. I think these people crying over AI are the same people trying to hold us down. They're scared because they're losing their grip around our necks. Could be. Could be. All I know is what I'm able to do and how [snorts] I'm able to take things and I don't have the talent for it or the time or the energy to go out and find somebody to do it.

19:31 Um Yeah, you'd rather pay a person. You know, you hate taking money out of somebody's mouth, but there comes a point where hey, you want to know something? I'm taking money out of my family's mouth and if I can save money, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it because it's going to help me more, you know? And nobody's going to worry about me after I pay him. Mhm. No way. No way. And that's just the way life is. That's the way it is, folks. You know? Each person for themselves. You know, you try not to be, but it is what it is, I guess. It is what it is, I guess. I'm trying to look at some things up here.

20:19 Trying to figure out what I'm doing here. Yep, that's going, that's going, that's going, that's going, that's going. Cuz we're trying to make room here. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to move over. It's just got so much going on, man. Jeez.

20:44 Jeez. Always. Mhm. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh-huh. Okay. All right, so we got all that set. All right, so um Yeah, so I wonder if I can chat into I can put into AI, "How can I make the Maple Leafs win?" Probably tell me to get rid of everybody. Uh official made in Slovakia. And these pucks fly. Yeah, we went to the we went to a game Wednesday. Dear God. They got killed. And we had to sit there.

21:31 We had to sit there while all the the the Tampa fans losing their minds. And then Tampa goes gets beat up by Buffalo, who are playing very, very well. So, I don't think we have much of a chance. I think we're done. We're going to mail it in. It's not going to matter cuz we don't have a first round draft pick. We should should start selling every player that we can. We really should.

22:02 [clears throat]

22:03 We lost 5-2 last night. I didn't even watch the game. I was just so um um um emotionally Well, we were watching the end of The Traitors last night uh because we had it taped. And that [clears throat] was good. She My wife loves those reality shows. So, I'll pick a show and I'll watch it with her. And that one's actually really good. Really, really good. And let's see what we got here. All right, so who won last night? Who lost? Uh the Islanders beat Blue Jackets. Okay, in OT. The Avalanche beat the Blackhawks. Senators pounded the Maple Leafs. The Canadians beat the Capitals. The Kings are good this year. The Sabres beat the Lightning 6-2.

22:51 And we got killed 4-2. Jesus. Complete scoreboard. The Stars, they had a good game. Rangers-Penguins in the shootout. The Bruins lost. I hate the Bruins. The Devils beat the Blues. Uh, Kraken beat the Canucks. The Kings beat the Flames. The Hurricanes beat the Red Wings. The Red Wings are playing well, too. The East is a mess. Hold on, let's go to the standings. This is going to be disgusting. Are we on the bottom? Yeah, we are in the bottom of the Atlantic division with 63 points. We're tied with Florida who pumped us the other day.

23:37 Uh, we've played 60 games. We are horrible. To get into the playoffs, we would need Is it 74 points? 74 points. We're at 63. We're 11 points out. There's no way with 22 games left that this team is going to wake up and get into the playoffs. So, let me see. It would be the top five here, which would be 71 cuz they're top three 69. Yeah, 71. Uh, we are eight points out. There's no way. There's just no way. As a matter of fact, we are probably the worst team in the East besides the Rangers and the New Jersey Devils.

24:35 Wow. All right, let's see what our schedule is. This is This is horrible. This is heartbreaking. All right, so today, all right, Sunday, I don't care about that. Sunday. Come on.
