 make sure we're going. This is Chicho. Welcome to another live stream. And today is July 14th, 2019. And topic of discussion for today is investing in personal finance, open discussion. Okay, we've done a few of these now, so I'll leave the intro to that and we'll wait until people start rolling in. And we've changed the setting a little bit. I'm not at the library sort of bookcase area where we have a whole bunch of books sort of set us up in the summer room right now because finally we're getting sort of into the summer mode. It's getting warmer. The sun's coming out. We've had a lot of rain in the west coast of Canada for the last couple of weeks, two to three weeks really. We had a little bit of summer spell in, I guess it was early June or something. And then as soon as summer kicked in, we had a couple of nice days. It was getting warmer, starting getting colder. So last couple of days, the temperature is kicking up. The cold wind is gone. So it's nice. The plants are loving it. The plants are loving it. Okay. And that's it basically. Let me show you what I got as beverages, refreshments, zare, how are you doing? Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Hope you have a fantastic Sunday. Eggs. I got my trusted tea. And today I got, I started drinking matchas for the last couple of weeks. It's like green tea with a whole bunch of other stuff and a little bit of coconut oil and honey. Fantastic. Wow. So addictive. So addictive. So addictive. It's like liquid candy. It's like liquid candy. I'm twitching, Jason. How are you doing? It's been at least a week. Good afternoon, chicho. Glad I caught the stream. Awesome. Glad to have you man. Glad to have you man. And I got some tahini as well. But I need the matcha. Like super sweet. Trues. How are you doing? Doing well brother. Thank you very much. My first day off in weeks. Wow. Yeah, you haven't been around for a while. Happy day off by the way. Hopefully you're getting a few in a row. If it's your first day off in a week. Seriously, this thing is amazing. So good. So good. So good. Delicious. So as before, we'll, you know, we can kick into discussion if you guys want to talk about anything right away. If you want to chill for a while and we can talk about personal finance and investing and stuff. But again, it's an open discussion. We can deviate from that. Let me pop out the chat as well. Where is our pop-out pop-out chat? Blink. Awesome. Hopefully I didn't lose. Love the eBay comic video man. So many infinite comments. Really at the time when it came out, for me, I'll be buying for sure. I hope you get them at a good price, brother. For me, what happened with Infinity Gauntlet was basically when it came out, there was a fair bit of hype about it. But when it hit the scene, because people weren't following the Silver Surfer too much, at the time I really liked the Silver Surfer. So I was really excited for the Infinity Gauntlet because the Infinity Gauntlet was a crossover that came through the Silver Surfer. And because a lot of people weren't reading the Silver Surfer, there was hype associated with it. But it wasn't hype like a Spider-Man crossover or X-Man crossover or whatever it was. So when I read it, when I read Silver Surfer 15, I thought, oh man, I was so hyped for it. And then Infinity Gauntlet came out and I read that. I was like, wow, boom yo, raw limbs, Jim Starr. Wow, fantastic. And then I went to the store. There was a lot of copies around, right? It wasn't selling out right away. And I started buying a few copies just because I loved it. If I love something that I mentioned before, I just buy a few copies, right? I've got some comics that they're considered to be fluff. I still love them. I have a few copies, right? And then what I did was try to figure out when Thanos came to be and how the story was following. So I went back to the Silver Surfer comics I had and I was tracking them down. So I ended up going back and getting my hands on a couple of Silver Surfer 34 and 44 and I figure 45 and stuff like this. And obviously Silver Surfer 50 as well, right? Just finished Batman Damm number one. Have you read it yet? Now relaxing with Kamma Myltee. Nice. I'll read two and three tonight. I actually haven't read it yet. I picked up issue number one and I was going to list Batman Damm on eBay today but I got really busy and because of what happened with Unity, Unity for Assanges, Unity for J, Twitter account, Unity for Junior Assanges account on Twitter, I decided to shoot the Black Current video and talk about a little bit of a censorship and I was editing that and shot that the day before and edited that and loaded it up this morning, right? So I wanted to get that done so a little right away I'm already behind loading onto eBay stuff. I haven't read it but when Batman Damm came out, I found out about Batman's junk. I went to the comic bookstore and I grabbed like four or five copies for myself, right? And the two I'm going to be listening are two of those copies and I flipped through it to take a look at the images and I found it amazing, right? When I read, I looked at the images, I was like, wow, crazy cool, right? So I brought them home and back on the board and put them away and flipped through it, looked at it again. I didn't get a chance to read it. With those kinds of stuff, in general, I like to wait until I got one, two, three to read them, right? So and then I put it away, right? And then I checked out some forums and people were like, oh, Batman's junk is strong. And then some people were like, oh, man, they didn't endow him well enough and stuff like this. I was like, dude, what are you guys talking about? Batman's junk is throwing a shadow. I've heard it's supposed to be good. And Brian Azarello, I love Brian Azarello's writing. Brian Azarello, I got turned on to through Hellblazer back in the day, right in the 90s. And I really like Brian Azarello's work on Hellblazer and I've read other stuff with Brian as well. And I really like his work, especially the trait that he put back, Joker. I still haven't read the, I forget the name, Superman's arch enemy, the multi-billionaire. No, what? I couldn't slip my mind. I still haven't read that one, but Joker was amazing. House looks halla, halla good, Chicho. Nice. Thanks. Thanks, Void. We've been doing a lot of house cleaning, a lot of house cleaning. We're late with our spring cleaning because the weather was a little chilly. As soon as it got warmer, we started going crazy. We're giving our crystals, minerals, and rocks all washed right now. So I'll show you pics of those later. What's your eBay page called? It's Chicho. So here, let me grab it. Here, I'll just link it up to the main page and then you can just scroll down on items for sale I got there, right? That's the main Chiche account, Zara. Yeah, that was a surprise. I have two copies. Apparently it's only in the first printing. They're not going to reprint the original, right? The only thing they're going to reprint is the edited version of the images. So they're going to edit those Batman's junk out of the pages, right? So I think they'll probably release it as collected, but it would be the edited version. Ark and the side, how are you doing? Hey, Chicho, I just got the notification of you coming online as I got home from work. Nice. Excited to load my vape hangout. Awesome, brother. You've been enjoying that a lot. Ramon, Reno, Mike, how are you doing? I'm a huge fan of comic book films and TV shows, but I've never gotten around to reading comics much unfortunately, but I'm fascinated about a culture around it. Lex Luthor, yeah. I couldn't believe Lex Luthor slipped my mind. Thanks, Twitch and Jason. Thank you. And thank you. A truce. Okay. And you know what, Twitch and Jason? There's only a handful of comics, maybe less than a handful of comics, that are better than the comic books. Okay. They're a handful of comics which do the comic books justice. Okay. The rest of the comic book films, the story that they took from the comic books, the comic books blow away the movies. I highly recommend reading comic books. They're brilliant. Silva, how are you doing? How's it going? Good, sir. Doing good, doing good. Did you see an influx of one of your old ASMR title videos? You were on the first page in the UK after searching Amazon. Oh, no, I didn't notice. I wonder if it was, maybe it was the most recent one that I uploaded this morning. No, this was yesterday. Some videos, it's weird. Some of the videos I start, they go through phases. All of a sudden they start getting lots of videos and come down again and stabilize and and then sometimes the videos get a lot of views and they hang there for a long time, which is super cool. Which video was it, by the way, Silva? There's a few that go through that routine. It's fun. It's fun. Hey, Chico, joined the Discord a few days ago and now a lot. I finally made it to a live stream. Awesome. Much love from Willowdale in Toronto. Willowdale. Nice. Same neighborhood. Rush is from, oh, no way. Awesome. So it's a suburb of TO, right? Willowdale. Doesn't Rush have a song? Do they use Willowdale in the lyrics? I can't remember. It sounds familiar. Maybe that's because I lived in Toronto for a couple of summers and I lived in Southern Ontario for a while and trekked around Ontario a lot. Niki, how are you doing? Hey man, nice to catch you live. Greetings to all. Greetings, greetings. He's the ASMR Don Corleone. I don't know. On the video I uploaded today with black currents and talking about censorship, North York area. Okay, cool. I lived in Markham one summer and I lived downtown core Toronto one summer for four months when I was doing co-op terms at university and stuff. Downtown core, TO, Blair and Sherbourne, York. I can't. For youth, young adult living there, it was a fun time man. It was a dried men jarring when I lived. Ah, cool, cool. That one's actually getting a fair bit of views in general right now because it's a good video. It's fun. It's full blown ASMR, a little bit of whispering and stuff. So that's cool. That's crazy. On the front page of UK YouTube. That's, I don't, I think that's my, that might be my first front page YouTube video ever, which is super cool. I watch our old bye bye beer video too and it was great. This one I'm watching. That one was fantastic man. I remember cutting that off. I remember that day perfectly. That was just a whim that I did it. I was like, I was doing some stuff and I can't remember what it was. I was just looking in the mirror and I was like, I got time and it was sunny and it was in a very, I felt lighthearted and I was like, you know what? I'm going to set up the camp order and just shave this thing off. Cut it to music and load it up. That was fun. Lima, how are you doing? I was raised just north of Markham and Richmond Hills. Ah, Richmond Hills. Nice. Back when it was mostly farmland. Crazy, crazy. It's Toronto man. It went through crazy boom. Good to know. I may start with the Walking Dead, the comic books, better than the TV show. Okay, that's one. Okay, I'm a huge fan of the show and I've followed a few of the storylines from the comics through videos on YouTube and stuff. Okay, Walking Dead, give it, start reading it, give it a little bit of time. By issue number five, the cliffhangers on the Walking Dead are like, what? And you can't put it down. I read the first 68 issues in the first week. Okay, vote Democrat. Thanks for that. Thanks for the cheers, brother. Oh, funny. Oh, funny. That video popped off too. That was so, it was so strange because I've only ever seen you with a beard. So I was like, who is babyface and the world, man, the community, the people treat you differently when you have facial hair than when you don't have facial hair in my part of the world anyway. Pretty sure every part of the world. In parts of the world where facial hair is dominant, if you don't have facial hair, then they'll treat you differently than you do. Right? So it's just what people are used to. Back then, not too many people were growing beers, man. I had a friend that was heavy into social media and just doing online stuff. And initially, what was doing the math videos, the language of mathematics videos and stuff. He, you know, we're talking to a party and stuff goes, oh, I love what you're doing. Like what you're doing is very unique, fantastic. It's well needed. You got a niche, you got a niche market, all this jazz, right? He goes, but I got one thing to say to you, right? And I thought he was going to mention the sound because I was just learning stuff. And I didn't have next, you know, sounding recording system. So the sounds rough on the, you know, the early language or mathematics videos. But he turned to me and says, you got to shave the beard. I was like, dude, I'm not going to shave the beard. He goes, if you shave the beard, you're going to get more hits because the algorithms are set up that way. The platforms, you know, are promoting no facial hair. It's just more, no facial hair to get more exposure, right? I was like, dude, I do what I love. I am who I am, and I'm not going to shave to get more hits, right? Because I'm in it for a long haul. I'm not looking for 15 minutes of fame. And in my mind, at some point, facial hair comes back again. And thanks to all the propaganda and fear monitoring from politics and economics and all that jazz, all the lies coming through the corporate propaganda machines, it, you know, people as a backlash started growing more facial hair. Now the facial hair videos are becoming more popular, right? Salem, this side of Canada too. I have never gotten ID'd with a card, but always, always when I'm baby-faced, it takes 20 years off. Like, yeah, Arkansas. And you're in the States, Arkansas, right? I'll tell you something about facial hair. Now we read a couple comments as well. Moving house soon. And I noticed my neighbor, neighbor had some football goalposts in the back garden. And I'm so excited. Nice. I've always wanted to be that miserable neighbor that pops the football when it flies into the garden. Oh, no, you're not going to pop it, are you? Unless it hits you, then, or does damage, or happens every time, then you got to sort of have a little chat with them and go, buddy, build a higher fence, I guess. I heard compound interest and investing in mutual funds and S&P 500 are the most worthwhile investments for the average person. Purpose, compound interest for sure is something you want to get into. But mutual funds and S&P 500, S&P 500 is just a metric of the first top 500, I believe anyway. 500 companies on, you know, they track down on the US stock market on Wall Street and whatnot, right? So that's just a metric that you can buy into and it just does what it does, right? Personally, I wouldn't be investing in Wall Street at the moment. Right? As far as mutual funds go, you have to look into what they're investing in. So, mutual funds, they'll say, oh, this is, they'll give it a name, right? That's sort of an umbrella that is supposed to represent the type of companies, stocks, type of investments they're investing in, right? They have to money park them, right? So they could call it, you know, pick any genre, any system, right? But you have to look into which stocks they're holding and usually they list the first 10 and then you have to dig in, ask them, get a list and stuff like that. So, mutual funds are different. You have to really dig in to find out if you really want to be invested with these people and in those companies, okay? So there's a lot of research you need to be done and past performance does not necessarily indicate future performance, okay? Respect for sticking up for facial hair, really, for sure, Nicky, man. Man, you'd be amazed the type of flak I've had to deal with because of facial hair. It's unbelievable, right? Unbelievable. And from every walk of life, not necessarily in my area, also from areas where people have migrated to here where the majority of people from the area that they're in go grow facial hair and they may be religious, they may be a certain type and when they come here, they're, they have a, they don't like facial hair, right? They have an allergic reaction to it. So whenever they see my facial hair, they're like, oh, I'm like, what are you guys doing? Right? I'm in Halifax. That was a nice Halifax. It's a beautiful city. I've been there. Halifax. I really like the East Coast of Canada. If it wasn't for the winters, man, Martin, how are you doing? We're explaining what football. Haha, exactly. Martin, I'm explaining what football. Oh, yeah. What football, man. Funny. I'm 21. I look even younger than I think. Larger than, than that, I think. And I've never been carded in Canada. May just be the spots I've been to. And Twitch and Jason, Canada is 19, right? US is 21. Crazy, crazy. Maybe I'm just aging bad. I stopped getting ID at 17. I liked it. I'd like not being IDed. I'm having streaming issues. Are you? Let me check. Are we still streaming? Yeah. Hopefully it didn't cut off. I figured Canada was just less strict than the US when it comes to carding people. Hello again. Hello Surua. How are you doing? Sticks stack up on gold, silver or something else. Easier to hide than money. Not as liquid as hung money. And you don't necessarily want to hold on. And by the way, Sticks are men and gold and silver are money. I think you want, you want to say just using terminology, I have trouble going to stack up on gold and silver or something else easier to hide than currency because money is anything that you can store value and you can use this trade and stuff like this is like five categories, six categories of things, right? So gold and silver are money. Currency is not money. Currency depreciates dramatically over time, right? So you can hold different types of assets as well. It doesn't necessarily have to be hard assets. It doesn't necessarily have to be gold and silver. Gold and silver is pretty good to have a certain percentage of. It's gold undervalued, 100%. It's silver undervalued, 100%. But the market is rigged where they're selling short, naked, short, gold, whatever, right? So there's multi layers of derivatives in there. So suppressed at some point is going to pop. Okay. Personally, incredibly interested in Bitcoin right now and other cryptos. Did anybody cash Trump to Bitcoin the other day? Yeah. Yeah, we caught a twitching Jason. It did help that I knew the guy working in the shop. They didn't care about my age. I just bought a lot. So he was happy. Nice. Hello, Starsky. How are you doing? I'll still never forget his face when my mother wanted to start at the same time as I was putting a 24 pack of locker on the counter. That was a picture. I'll forever laugh until the day I die. I'm laughing at it right now. I can just visualize it. The guy's going, right? Did your mom know you were drinking and buying? I hope so, man. I hope so. I hope so. I've heard that if you do want to get into metal silver, it's better because it need to be, you can conventionally trade or exchange it with people for goods like a silver coin you could use for some common exchange. But gold is so valuable that you can't easily exchange it. Silver, I think you can exchange gold easily. But first of all, one of the problems with gold and silver is you have to be able to decide what the purity of it is with gold. A lot of people when they wear gold chains in different parts of the world, they invest in gold, that's their savings. If you see people with a, if it's gold, big gold chain with a lot of hoops and stuff like this, if you really need to buy something, what you could do is cut one of those things, go to a juror, get up to cut it or as many as you need to buy something and reattach the chain, you can wear it, you're walking bank and then you can use that to do trade. One of the things gold is, silver could be better is because silver has domestic use, it has uses, more uses than gold. She knew, she was angry but it's basically young English culture. Canada is the same, drinking is crazy heavy. I'm pretty sure you asked, Europe was insane. Almost everyone used to buy and head down on the woods on Friday with friends, yeah, drinking in the meadow, right, we all used to do it. And I guess Canada is very much British culture as well. So, oh yes, I was doing that in the 80s, 80s to Saint-Eurbarton, metal drinking in the woods. That, you know what, to a certain degree, my love of nature and big way came through that, right? Tank, how are you doing? Hi again, Chicho, looking quite hot where you are, enjoying summer? Yes, I pulled out the tank top, yeah, the tank top is out, tank top season, buff monster, hey Chicho, will you do a Lecure video anytime soon? In this summer, yes, in the next couple of months, let's say a couple of months, okay, I'm just so much stuff that I have lined up to do, but Lecure videos is one of them. If you haven't seen a Lecure, buff monster, if you haven't seen a Lecure video pop up by mid-August, send me a reminder and we'll do one. I do have to go through my Lecure cabinet and consolidate some Lecures and free up some of the jars as well as make new types of Lecure. Two of the Lecures that I want to make is pineapple and blood orange, right? The blood orange isn't, I haven't seen any blood orange around. As soon as I see the blood orange in the stores, and that's when we might start doing the Lecure video, okay, but remind me, by mid-August if it's not out, let's say end of July, no, mid-August because we're half way through July, mid-August if it's not out, send me a reminder, we do, okay. I remember secretly making my own sandwiches, so my parents still gave me a dinner money, nice. I then used the dinner money to buy packs of cigarettes, all I know to resell to smokers at school for 50p each. It's still the best business I ever had, I missed it, nice brother, that's a good way. I did that with firecrackers. I was in grade eight, I would go to Chinatown, right, build up to Halloween, I'd go to Chinatown and I'd go to the Chinese stores and ask them if they had firecrackers and little fireworks and stuff like this, and they didn't care, so I bought a whole bunch and I would go to the school during Halloween time. For a month I was making mint money. I would sell like little poppers for like 10 cents a pop and I was buying like 50 of them for 50 or 100 of them for 50 cents and it was selling each one for like 10 cents, so the return on investment was huge, right. Great, okay, awesome, that'd be great when you do for the Likir videos, buff monster. I live in north Sweden, we took the boat to Denmark and then bought alcohol, League of Legion, Denmark was 16 at the time, wow, that's crazy, that's young, pineapple sounds incredible. Would coconut pulp work when making Likir? I think coconut, when you open up fresh coconut, it's wet. I think so, I haven't tried it. Twitch and Jason, if you do try it, post a picture on, you know what, it would taste amazing. I'm just thinking about it. If you do try it, post a picture on our Discord page and just let us know that it tasted amazing and I'll hop on it. The reason I want to make blood orange and pineapple is because people posted pictures on Discord and it was, it looked amazing and they said it tasted phenomenal. I've been trying to make chocolate brownies recently but I can't get that fudgy effect. They keep coming out like cakes and it's driving me insane. Oh wow, I've never tried chocolate brownies. Playing with cooking with chocolate or baking with chocolate is hard. I've tried it before with chocolate and it's messy and if you don't do it right, oh man, it just doesn't turn out good. I wanted to, I tried to get into crypto but when the exchange sites asked for my SN number, social security number, I got scared and gave up. Yeah, surua. As you know, I've, cryptos hit my, specifically Bitcoin hit my radar back in 2010, 2011, right? 2010, really. And I had my personal computer, it was pretty heavy duty computer, mining at the time too and stuff like this, played around with it a little bit, right? Not recently but last year, last year, as soon as Bitcoin went up to $19,000 and came down and was hovering and I, for my, and I stayed at the student livestreams and stuff, I said my target was around $2,600 and so on came up and said, it was like $3,300 and it was, it was a good time to buy and I said, you know what, it's not bad, right? And I, at that time, I looked into opening up account too but that whole process of opening account with an exchange to be able to buy and sell cryptos, that eliminates the purpose of cryptos, right? So for me, cryptos are not, I'm not really interested in buying and selling cryptos into fiat and out of fiat, right? Because as soon as you exchange that note, you go through that note of switching from crypto to any type of fiat, boop, there's a zap, there's a track record of it, right? There's no more anonymity, okay? So for me, if I'm going to use cryptos, you use cryptos to either buy hard assets directly from individuals or you use cryptos to buy services directly from individuals, right? And in general, if you have cryptos, you should be keeping those off the exchanges anyway. You shouldn't be holding your cryptos on exchanges. You should have hard on USB sticks and stuff like this and there's stuff like that being sold, right? So for me, the whole hype and the whole purpose of cryptos has deteriorated drastically. It doesn't mean that it's obsolete. It is still legit, right? But I'm not interested in trading cryptos. You can do that. I mean, it's okay to do. If I had a ridiculous amount of funds, I would probably set it up and do it, right? But it's not the thing, it's not where I want to be personally. Sweet, I may give it a shot. The pomegranate. Oh, the coconut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be amazing. Let us know, man, if it works out. What does Chih-chou or Chat know about working abroad? I'm in my early 20s and work wouldn't like to give it a shot, but no idea where to even start. So think, you're in the US, right? For Americans is a lot different because if you're in America, you still have to file your taxes in the United States every year, right? The US, the IRS is nasty. They're extortion machines, right? So it depends what you want to get into. Yeah, Coinbase restricts certain account features unless you provide a certain person personally identifiable information, which seems a bit counterproductive. 100% touching, Jason. Kraken was another one I tried as Coinbase. So instead, I started doing PI and Electron Nume because they're idiot proof, though I think they're pretty worthless. Okay, I haven't tried those out. The 40 large sterilized jars I ordered last week should arrive on Thursday, ready to make raspberry, 40, raspberry gin. I'll post a picture in the discord. Oh, nice. All in my dark cupboard before they're ready to sit for four weeks. 40 jar, dude. Silva, I hope you're sharing that stuff. I think you're the one that came out and said before you were making like 40 liters, 20 liters or something on that stuff. That's a lot of alcohol. I read a Broomberg article recently that I mentioned is a fantastic way for people to boost their salaries early on. That's as much as I personally know about the matter, though. Oh, to travel? No, I'm in the UK thinking of working in the US, Canada, Australia. Good to know. Okay, cool. Yeah, I know a lot of people that have gone overseas to work and generate money and depending on where they're coming from and where they're going, like in Vancouver, there's people that come to Vancouver work because they want to feel like what it's like to live in Vancouver and they try to make money. If you're coming from abroad and making average money, even if it's better, good money relative to where you were living, once you come to Vancouver, that's not going to carry you too far. You're not going to be making it mental unless you've got a very unique type of job that is totally sought after because the cost of living in Vancouver is insane. So for sure, if you're thinking about going and living somewhere else, look into the cost of living in that region, in that city. Really important, really important. And your tax system, I think UK, you're clear. I think if you live abroad more than a year, it's like Canada, you just file taxes wherever you're living. I would think it's a lot different for you guys here in England. All I had to do was sign a few forms, pay a small fee and went and worked in Magalof for a whole summer. It's great fun if you can get your hands on something like that. I don't know where Magalof is. It denies it depends what work you're trying to do. For Australia, for example, try to get like a service drop from abroad. Oh really, service drop. You have to jump through flaming hoops. But if you want to do agricultural work like farm labor, they salivate at the mouth just to get you over and work in ASP. I can't see making too much money working as labor in the agriculture industry. Really, that in general is why a lot of the corporation as a agriculture industry promotes bringing a mass migration because they get cheap labor, right? That would be my guess. I don't know what it's like in Australia though. I got the windows and the skylights and the doors closed in the sun room. So slowly the temperature is kicking up. It's a good thing I wore a tank top. It's getting hot in here. I like it. Warms you from the inside. Sure, low pay, but maybe you just want to go and visit us. Yeah, true that. And you can also hook up. And if you want to do that as well, there's what's that called, where local farms, mom and pop shop farms. There's a website, I forget what it's called. There's a term for this thing where they post jobs that you can go live on the farm. They don't pay you, but they give you room and board. And you do a certain amount of hours a day and you can live there, work there for as long as you want. You might actually make a little bit of money too. And you can make your way across the country hitting up these local farms. It's called, I did a CSA, a set of CSA videos on mathematics of food and farming. I talked about it there. Just forget what the terminology is for it. And I think I linked up in one of the videos, I have a link going to those resources. Yeah, our taxes all come out with our wage without us doing anything, which is nice, because it's so nice getting a letter one day saying you're owed 500 pounds rebate due to their mess ups. Unless they messed up in the other direction, they send you a letter saying you owe them 500 pounds, right? Not that it lasts long, but for that time is great. My sister moved, moved to us six years ago, just bought her house in Sydney, house in Sydney, Dan won't present. So Sydney is like Vancouver now. Insane, insane, money laundering machine. Yeah, she has a good job and married a local cool currently specialized towards oil and gas engineering, thinking those countries might have some more rural and therefore affordable places to live that future jobs in this field. Thanks for the feedback guys. Our pleasure, thank you. I know Canada, when the oil stands were booming or pretending to be booming, when it was like mass, basically it was a gold rush. Everyone was trying to set up shop in the oil stands in Alberta, right? The job market was, you could apply, get a job, amazing pay, right? The work was crap, horrendous areas, not good for your health and stuff, but you made mid-money. But now it's dropped down a lot, right? So I don't know how it's like in Canada, in the oil stand specifically. Jamie, how are you doing? Hey Chico, just started watching your channel. Love what you're doing. Thanks man. Love doing what I'm doing. Very much enjoyed, very much enjoyed Jamie. Glad you're enjoying it as well. Just thinking about it, to which would be a great way to launch your money actually. Chico, you interested in a cool job? No, no. Here's the thing, here's the thing. If you're not looking into becoming a multimillionaire right away, speedy mozalla style, or billionaire, right? And you have a certain amount of morals, dignity, passions, hobbies, loves in terms of your surroundings, people. If you love social human interaction on more than just a superficial level, the system that we have in Canada, United States anyway, it's set up where you don't need to launch your money. It's set up for people to be able to take their salaries and start up a company, maybe an incorporated company, sole proprietorship, initially preferably sole proprietorship in Canada, I don't know what it's called in the United States, where you can set something up where basically the name of the game is this. Let's say you make this much on your salary and you get taxed on all of this, right? And the tax system is a way that's set up in certain brackets, right? So there's, so there's, you know, this tax bracket, this tax bracket, this tax bracket, this tax bracket, this tax bracket, this tax bracket, this tax bracket, it keeps on going higher, right? And the higher tax bracket, you go the more taxes you have to pay. So the system in Canada and the United States is set up just like this. Let's say you're making this salary, right? For your labor. Let's say you have a hobby that you spend a fair bit of time on. You spend a fair bit of money on and you know there's an industry in it because you spend money on it, right? And let's assume your hobby's got out of hand a little bit or you're interested in spending more time in that hobby. What you can do is form a company where you live. In Canada, I know you can do this, right? And this isn't illegal. This is on the books. This is what you need to do, right? This is what Canada's prime minister, before that being a finance minister, told people to do because that was the driving force of our current economic system, small business, right? So you're making this much salary. Take your hobby, form a company. Initially, let's assume this is on the same level, right? Initially, you're not going to be making money. You're going to be spending money. So this is negative, right? So this is zero. This is you making salary. This is you spending money on a hobby that you think you could start making money on, right? What happens is you can take this amount, subtract it from your salary, you're making and write it off, probably not all of it, but at least a third of it, most likely 75% of it, right? Write it off against your business, right? Your hobby that has now turned into your business. And that's expenses on you, right? All of a sudden, on the books, you're no longer this tax bracket. You're this tax bracket. So on this amount, the difference, all the taxes that you paid on that, you get back. That's a third. So let's assume that was $10,000 right away, you get $3,000 back. And now that you're in this tax bracket, not this tax bracket, this is a lower tax bracket. So on that total amount, the taxes that they calculated that they charged you that they took from you has to be less. So let's say on this amount, you were paying 25% tax. And on this amount, you were only supposed to pay 20% tax. So on this amount, you get another 5% back, whatever it was, right? That's what our current economic system is set up on. Everybody who's working salary, who has passions, love, hobbies, things they've wanted to do to try to start their own business and stuff like this, in my opinion, should be doing that, right? As long as you want to do it, as long as you have the passion to do it, it's not easy, okay? But if it's a hobby that you love, it's something that you love spending time on, then that money difference might be worth looking into. I'm just going to read a couple more things. Was having a discussion with the wife about living in another country in Canada came up. Nothing in particular made me think of Canada. Maybe it's the laws surrounding certain herb. That's a huge plus in my book. So I was laughing. Legally, Chicho has to answer no. Talk about money, a twitching laundry. Look at those gamer streamers. They rake millions a year just filming the South Canadian. Sorority, there's only a handful of them that make millions, right? Or hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands. The huge chunk make chump change, okay? The huge chunk are doing it for the passion, right? Some of them are doing it to chase the dream of making tens of thousands or thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions, right? If it happens, happens. For example, all those gaming streamers, if they have a salary, right? If they're working somewhere where they're being money, then they should be writing off a certain amount of the space that they occupy, either through rent or paying mortgage. They should be writing off their computer, their games, fantastic chairs to sit on, mics, cameras, whatever else gadgets they need. They should be writing that stuff off against their salaries. I doubt very few of them do. That means they haven't figured out what business is, right? What it means to be making thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions, right? That's something that people have to think about. Chicho should play a game and stream it. I will at some point, go gangster. I'm from the DC area and work remotely and I've considered moving to Montreal for a short period of time and working from over there. Canada's a lovely place, yeah. Twitching Jason, Montreal, I highly recommend. If you're, if anybody wants to ever live in a vibrant, lively, fun city, I would recommend Montreal, not in the winter unless you can handle the cold. Okay. I follow a guy who does travel videos. He goes everywhere in London, in London, New York, and even China. Must be making good money to do that, possibly, or sponsorship as well. That's good money, I guess. Spider, how are you doing? Hey, chicho, I can only pop in for a second. I'm currently on break at work. Hope you're doing great. They're doing fantastic, brother. Got the tank top out, sunny, streaming, drinking matcha and tea, having a fantastic time. I loaded up a video today, been putting stuff on eBay, going through comic books and just catching up on news and doing mathematics and work. Man, can't complain, can't complain. I hope you're also having a fantastic day. Mad jelly, I travel a lot since I can fly for free. Nice. But getting paid to do it? Too good. Oh, dude, if you can do that, fantastic. When I was doing geophysics, I did geophysics for a 10-year period. If the gadgets and the technology and the platforms were around when I was doing geophysics in the 1990s, traveling to these crazy remote areas and doing crazy remote types of work, doing seismic work over, got double barrel shotgun, doing a drill into the ground, got a double barrel shotgun with blanks, nozzle down into the ground with a string hooked up to a sort of a tripod thing, something not a tripod, just sitting there, just hanging there with a string going boom, and then pulling the trigger, just explosion happening, right? Or using quarter sticks of dynamite and burying them fuses and going, pulling the trigger, boom. Man, I would have been making crazy videos. Similar principles apply in the US, I believe. I have a bit of passion for photo video. I actually should have followed these ideas before all that I've spent on gear. Yeah, Twitching Jason in Canada, I think they give you like four years that you can go back and write things off. You should look into it in the States. Okay, I would love to move to Canada. I must look into it. Cool. Let's do it. I can make a base of chichurco, chichoy, chichoy, for your information, I had to go audio only to avoid lag. Oh, really, Mark? Is anybody else having lag problems, gang? That's unfortunate. Let's see. I could do a little test. I did a test and my connection was supposed to be super strong. But one thing I have done is went and got 40 feet, 40 meters, 40 meters? No, 40 feet of coaxial cable and have hooked on directly through land. I'm not, what do you call it? It's not wireless, hooked up directly to the motor. So that was supposed to be the best, that was the best connection I could get in this zone. And I'm going to try to maintain that. So let me know if anybody else is having any issues. No stream issues. Thanks for the heads up. No buffer or issues that there's no lag here. Okay, no lag. So Martin, it looks like it might be from your end. Thanks for the heads up, brother. I appreciate it. I know I've done some of these where I've cut off and I keep on talking and I'm like, oh man, we lost it. How is that a name on Twitch? This guy? Who is this guy? Oh man, I'm going to ban this guy straight out. Did someone ban him already? Did someone ban him already? I'm going to ban you just because of your name. That's a nasty ass name, man. Sorry, buddy. You gotta go neighbor playing Call of Duty. It's comfy. Oh, community Wi-Fi. Call of Duty, yeah. If they're using it, just catch up. Streaming is still a risky thing to have solely. Yeah, for four years, you can make a lot of money, but the next thing comes along and people move on. Yeah, you got it. That's why if people, that's what I'm looking at mentioned. If you want to become financially independent, you need to invest. It's not enough to have a source of income coming in, right? You need to invest a certain amount of your funds into things that you understand or things that you trust, places that you trust to have built up a nest egg. And that nest egg has to be more than one type of nest egg and nest egg, right? It can't be just in Wall Street. It can't be just in your house. It can't be just in these things. It's got to be multiple places. Got to be switched on 100% of the time and following the trends to keep that sustainability possibly. Silva, one thing I can tell you is people were telling me this, exactly what you're saying when I started loading videos on YouTube. They're like, Cheeto, you're crazy. You're spending all this time and you're not making any money. Why are you doing this? Just imagine you could have made all this money and bought a house and invested it and look at the waste of time you're doing. My reply to them is, man, yeah, I'm not making any money right now, but I love what I'm doing. It's very important to me. It's good for our society. And if you do the calculus, look into the time, this is where it's at, right? So I've been at this for 13 years. People are like, oh my God, you've been doing what for them? I'm still here doing it, right? And I'm still loving it. And I'll be here for another 13 years as long as we don't get completely knocked off, right? I actually visited Montreal last winter for the sole purpose of experiencing the winter. I was also there last fall and everyone told me I should come back to experience the cold is otherworldly. That's one way of putting it. Repo Po, how are you doing? Repo Po, how's life? Spider, thanks, Cheeto. You always make my day a lot better. Sounds like you're putting lots of work out today. Yeah, for the last few days I've been going ballistic, man, loving it. I got just boost of major energy. So I'm just, I think cleaning does that, right? And creating new spaces, sort of modifying our spaces, right? Super interesting topic about the taxes of hobby business. I need to look into this. Now, Nikki says, me and my wife are thinking of doing graphic novels together. She's an amazing artist and I would do it. Dude, Nikki, look into it. And man, you could write off so much high-end computers, high-end video audio equipment if you can afford it, obviously, right? You can release your graphic novel one page at a time on your blog. You can write off blog hosting your own time. If you're doing your own graphic designing, hire yourself out. If you have family members, kids that want to get into graphic designing, you could hire them, pay them, instead of paying them what do you call it, an allowance. Tell them, this is the job you have. This is your first work you're going to do. I need this thing done. And write that, you could do so much. And the system is set up for it, brother. But we live in Sweden, so I don't know if this applies here. Maybe my guess is in the Western world, they all have something like this set up so you can do it. Big C, you have to register a business, though. You have to, in Canada, I'll let you guys know what you have to do in Canada. In Canada, you have to search for a business name. And usually in your search it costs like $80 or $60 or $100. I don't know what it is now. I've done this multiple times over the years, but I haven't done it for a very, very long time. It costs you a certain amount of money, let's say $100 to do a certain name search. Usually you can do research to see if the name is available or not, and they give you three picks in Canada. One of them should work, unless you haven't done any research, just throwing darts at the board blind. You register your name, and then you have to decide what type of business you want to have. There's something called sole proprietorship where there's differences between them. Sole proprietorship, incorporated, you can create a commons and this and that. There's different versions, right? The most basic one is creative sole proprietorship where you're not incorporating, so you're liable, right? People, if they sue your work, they're suing you personally, so you're not protected from lawsuits, right? So don't do anything ridiculous. You run a business where you could get your ass sued off and you lose everything you have, right? If there's a probability of being sued, then you form an incorporation. And the incorporation, limited, incorporated, whatever it is, once you form that corporation, then that corporation is the buffer between your assets in the corporation and your personal assets, okay? Now, be careful with that. That's a lot more work and you can't write off your salary as simply. You have to actually lend money to the corporation and stuff. I wouldn't recommend doing a corporation right away. Mercenary. Hi, how are you doing? Welcome to this live stream. Watch out for creative differences when it's with your spouse. Okay, we're cut off to there. Chishol, do you do all these videos, live streams, and math teachings? How do you have enough time in a day to do all this? I wake up at 5.30. I go to bed at 11.12. I can be very focused when I work. I love what I do. I take long breaks. I've been at this for a long time. I have so much stuff laid out to do that there's videos out there that I can just flip to my notebooks and I don't have to do any planning, right? It's all laid out for me. I'll just have to set up the scene and do. So it's not something that I've got into in the last couple of years, right? I've been at this for 13 years, 13 years creating videos. And before that, you know, I've had three corporations, four proprietorships. I've ran businesses and managed people and stuff. It's just skills I picked up along the way, okay? Some of them cost me a lot of money. Some of them I got paid a lot for, right? So it is what it is. He uses the power of math to get more time out of each day. 100% that too, right? Optimization. Yeah, coaxial. Why land for streaming? Coaxial is greater than why land for streaming. Yeah, I figured that one out after a few months. Probably my neighbor playing, called up the, oh yeah, that's called the, Dante, how are you doing? How's life? Community Wi-Fi munkas. Hello, Bitcoin. Trump going. Trump, she'll, she'll Bitcoin. Howdy. Just you taking your advice and investing in magic cards. Why not? Some of those magic cards go for a fair bit of coin, right? Who would have thought buying Optimus Prime in the 1980s and not opening the box? At the time they were expensive, right? The higher end transformers were costing people like 80, 100 dollars, 90, 75 dollars, 80, 60, 70 dollars for a transformer, like the big ones, right? Buy an Optimus Prime in the 1980s in a box, not opening it. And then 20 years later, it'd be worth $10,000 plus, right? So just imagine you deciding to do this back in the 80s, right? And start buying the stuff. Designate a room in your house as storage space. So if you're paying mortgage, the square footage of that storage space, you can write off against this business that you've set up that you have in mind. All the toys that you're buying, your collection that you're buying, you can write off against your salary. And if the government comes after your ass, all you have to do is say, hey, this is a legitimate business. Look into the collecting industry. These are collectibles, right? If they really come after you, then all you have to do is just set up a page. And at that time, I guess, just to classify it as and sell a couple of your assets, right? And say, this is my business. Maybe I'm not a good business person, but you can't penalize me for not being a good business person. I'm trying, right? It's just a machine. Learn how to work this machine, right? Got to get cards works the same way, by the way, comic books works the same way. Got to get those black lotus. I think those are for the car stuff. I want to try streaming. I am broke. Is that ratty? I have some equipment. Then that is the issue. Save your money. Running a business is also one of the good things to do. It teaches you is to save money for stuff that you need to get. Okay. So save your money. Get yourself to a place where you can try it out. See what happens. Worst case scenario, you learn how to do something and you're doing something you love. It's not such a bad idea. Actually, if you're the sort to hit up garage sales, because you can sometimes come across parents selling off their adult kids crap and you'll find a magic car collection of some amazing polls. Yeah, garage sales. Yeah, for magic cars, garage sales are amazing if they have them. Cool. I'll look into it. It's not like baseball cars. Most people don't understand the value of magic cars. Yeah, I follow it. Okay, cool. Thanks Dante. Auto mod is weird. Auto mod is weird. However, to be fair, magic has only been around for like 30 years. By no means is it future proof investing, particularly when you look at current trends of magic. Yeah, agreed on that. You have to do your research. It sounds time for me in three days. It's second time for me in three days regarding that word. Cool. I met Gary last year actually. The dude is awesome. Yeah, we have to go. So, Rua, thank you for popping by. Remember, by Trump coins. I don't know how people can function with six hours sleep. I find I need at least eight for my workday. Yeah, there's periods where I slept a lot, right? But I don't know, something happened. When I started doing geophysics, that's when it really happened. I guess in the mid early, early 1990s, where I was functioning on three hours sleep processing. I wasn't loving it, right? And then I would take serious times off. Hey, mods, let's teach you a look at chat. Yes, I do. Oops, he does. Yeah, for sure. Still struggling with my sleep problem, but otherwise, okay. Okay, got the hit today. Hey, brother, Nicky, I hope you have fantastic dreams. Going to hit you with some money for 13 more years of geophysics. Thanks, brother. I'll be here. I'll be here. What would you recommend? Someone who is in their 20s, who's just graduated uni, start to do, to become more financially independent, grow their finances. A Jamie, first order of business, get that free. Pay off your debt as fast as you can, right? That being said, start looking into investments. Do the research. It doesn't mean you have to put money in right now. Just start following certain things that you're interested in. So first order of business is pay off your debt. Second, I'll put all three of them on the same level, right? So three things you should be doing. Pay off your debt. Okay. Eat healthy. Eat healthy. Eat healthy. Eat healthy. Really. Okay. The main reason that people have financial issues is because of health issues. So eat healthy, exercise, be healthy. Okay. The third thing you should do is looking, look into different types of investment opportunities. Doesn't mean you should participate. Just look into them. Maybe track them to see what they do. Start looking at the mathematics of it, at the graph, right? And obviously that means you need to learn mathematics. You need to know math. Okay. Do that. Aside from that, make a to-do list. We've got a video out there. Just do chicho to-do list. Make a to-do list. Start knocking things off that you need to do. Right? We sleep too much. It's the dreaming we don't do enough. Ah, Martin. Fantastic point. Fantastic point. And by the way, I'll mention this right now since Martin brought it up. One of the things that allowed me to function in this state is I explored the realm of dreams through entheogens. And that allowed me to instantly to kick into dream mode. I'll talk about this a lot more in the future. Okay. Once we establish ourselves on some platforms, that way we won't get knocked off on the other platforms. Okay. Just home. What's up chicho? Necklace. How are you doing? How's life? Hour and eight minutes we've been going for. Hope you're doing well, Necklace. You just got home. You're eight hours, seven hours ahead. So you're like nine, 10 o'clock at night. Do listen to Dave Ramsey. Dave Ramsey, Dave Ramsey. That name's so familiar. Or have you heard of his health building principles? Or has anybody in chat Dave Ramsey? Is that the guy who does the cold water and the breathing stuff? I'm just going to look this guy up. Dave Ramsey, Dave Ramsey. I need to see the guy's face. I haven't followed Dave Ramsey. The name's familiar though. I don't know Dave Ramsey. Have you ever had any problems with Twitch? Have I? No, not yet. However, about four weeks ago, I had someone from Twitch contact me saying that so it's 10, 10 right now where you are Barton. Okay, cool. I had someone contact me from Twitch last month and they sent me a nice message saying we've noticed that you're doing political videos and stuff like this and we're curious. We're looking into expanding the Twitch platform beyond gaming and we're interested to have a chat with you to have a talk with you. Okay, now I mentioned this and some people said oh they're looking to see if you're pushing fanaticism or you're disleaning this way, leaning that way so they can censor your stuff. Some people said great, they are looking down. For me, I take everything as being benign right off the bat initially. My conspiracy mind doesn't kick in. I've learned not to do that right away. So I contacted them and said you know, sure, gladly chat and stuff like this and we tried to hook up because they're in London and I mean West Coast of Canada, there was eight hours difference. Now, when they contacted me was during the time when my students have final exams so my students take the first priority that I'm teaching. That's my first commitment aside from family and friends and stuff like this right and same commitment really, my students are really important to me. So we tried to hook up but every time it was giving me a time is when I was doing stuff with my students. So I wasn't going to sacrifice my students for someone at Twitch want to talk to me. I don't care if they're the CEO or they're a lower level person right. It's not going to happen. My students come first right. So we weren't able to hook up. I gave them certain times and they didn't, you know, they tried, they said, oh, we'll try this and that, that, that. And they said this time said no, it's those times and we weren't able to hook up. So I haven't had any problems with Twitch yet. Hopefully we won't. Okay. I hope we won't because I like this platform. Wealth building. His whole thing is based around getting debt free. Yeah, debt free is really important. Once you're debt free and you got a savings, you're buying yourself freedom. I am well bro. Nicholas says just working with my wages for this month as there's a lot of unexpected bills this month. No kidding Nicholas. You're on vacation for two months, three months. That was a great vacation. Great way to spend money, man. After that, where you're calling funds shall be with you so we can see another one. Yeah, right now I'm not buying anything. As you know, I'm on budget. Rare po-po. Big smiles. Twitter is the evil platform. Twitter is the evil platform. Thanks Chico. I will look more into your personal finance playlist as well as your mathematics videos. Okay, Jamie, I hope you find them useful and if you have any questions, just post a comment. I'll try to answer and keep in mind as a work in progress, there's a lot more stuff coming. If you look up Dave Ramsey Baby Steps, there are seven steps outlined which are pretty foundational. Save a small nest egg, get debt free, pay off mortgage, yeah. Pay off mortgage should be debt getting debt free and stuff. And if he doesn't have eat healthy, be healthy in there, he's missing out on the main one. No matter what list you look at, number one priority should be remain healthy, be healthy. I can't even explain it, say it's simpler than that, right? Eat well, exercise. Second should be build your networks, your connections, spend time because it takes energy to keep good friends, to stay connected with family and stuff. Do that as well, that's important, that's your safety net. But it's good stuff. I normally point friends his way when the topic of personal finance or wealth building ever comes up. I prefer Gordon Ramsey. Gordon Ramsey. This is not for something, who's Gordon Ramsey? Do I have to look this up? Rare, I'm going to look up Gordon, Gordon Ramsey, who's Gordon Ramsey? Gordon Ramsey, Gordon Ramsey, who's Gordon Ramsey? Can you find it for me? Oh, is that the chef? Oh, yeah, yeah, he's the chef dude, hilarious, rare bobo. Anyways, sorry for filling up chat. No, touching Jason, no worries, I'll pop off my soapbox. No, it's cool, discussion finance. The breakup is what prompted a week's break into three months. Yeah, and that's a great way to deal with a breakup, which is fantastic, right? Am I a wizard? I don't know. Some of the entities of encountered in the realm of entheogens would say I was leaning in that direction. Absolutely, touching Jason loves the Gordon Ramsey. You should know pass. I prefer watching out of content streamers, watch Gordon Ramsey on YouTube. Gordon Ramsey is a famous chef, he's fantastic. Chicho is saying to eat healthy as I'm eating a giant cake, I eat cakes. I feel like I betrayed now. Ark and the side, I eat cakes, I eat pastries, I have a sweet tooth, but I also eat really healthy stuff. I try to get exercise, not as much as I should be. I should be taking my own advice, but there's nothing wrong with indulging your taste buds or senses. That's part of being healthy. It's not just satisfying your nutritional needs, it's satisfying your spiritual, your desire, your wants as well, right? But don't become crazy addictive and just eat cake every day. Don't do that. Manage yourself. Manage your addictions. Human beings, we have addictive personalities. Manage your addictions. That's one of the things, I guess, that should be in the personal finance stuff as well, right? He's known for yelling at people for how bad they cook. Yes, he's the vegan chef. He uses the F word in every sentence. Health is major. Back in April, I weighed close to 24 stones. Oh wow, you've got 336 pounds necklace. Brother, no. After some great advice from Chicho on Health, I've been eating clean and working out daily and I'm currently down Arco around the 19th stone mark with plenty more to go. Nice 19 stone. Let's look at the ratio. So 19 divided by 24. You're down 20%. That's cool, man. That's awesome, Nicholas. 20% drop. That's fantastic, brother. Nice, nice, nice. Nicholas, I can take a few stars off you. I can't break 13 stone. If you cook at home instead of eating out, you will save money and eat healthier. Yeah, 100%. That's great advice. I should be including that as well. That's one of the reasons we do the cooking live streams, right? Cooking videos, food videos, food playlists, really. Reno, Mike, great advice. Anyways, I need to hop off here. Thanks for the fun stream. Time to go prep for the week ahead. Hope everyone has a good one. You too, Twitching Jason. Hope you have a fantastic week and thanks for sticking around. Have some. Nice. Nicholas is passing on the stones to Martin. Cab out time. We gotta get the barbecue first. I gotta sell some of these comments to get the money coming in so I can buy a barbecue. That's one place that some of the money's gonna go towards. Just got that. We just got a new, I should take a picture, new stand for the computer stand. I'm not using boxes anymore to set myself up for these live streams. I can start getting rid of some of these boxes. There's a stand here that we have, a legit stand that costs over $100, right? This is just expenses, daily expenses, right? Thanks, bro. Breathing is so much easier now. Thanks for the healthy recipes and life advice. My pleasure, Nicholas. Nicholas, right now, for me, I feel you. I've been as high as 225 pounds. Right now, I'm down about 175, right? So there was a period in my life through stress, just bad habits and just life. I was 50 pounds heavier. Just imagine. Short of breath and just body ache and slower and needing more sleep and just nest out like sort of a hazy feel to myself. So about 40 pounds. I used to be heavier. That was a while ago. That was over 20 years ago. Okay. It was for a few years I carried that just dealing with some stress and stuff in my youth where I didn't know how to deal with things, right? The school system does not prepare you for life. That's for sure. I will start leaning on people to buy your comics. Thanks, Martin. Don't lean on them. I'm just, there's already a couple of bids we have on a couple of the comics that I'm putting the minimum I'm willing to let the comics go for in there. You know, that's what it is. If they don't sell, I might just like doubt it. Some of them, there's no way I'll reduce it, right? And you know, someone's contacted me that they want to buy a bunch of them. So we'll see where it goes, right? The one thing I learned as well for a person of finance, make sure you put yourself in a situation where you're not, not always in a rush. Don't allow money to kick you into a speed time frame the way the Wall Street and the banking system wants to wants you to want you to exist in, right? Slow down. Do a world of good for your finances. I flew back from Pentecton about three weeks ago and my roommate has not cleaned his mess in the kitchen. Oh my God, since I've returned, it's so hard for me to be able to prepare meals as she never cleans her mess and I refuse to. I'm moving into my own place at the end of this month and planning on making much needed changes to my diet and wallet. Yeah, our kind of side, I've lived with people like that through university times and stuff like this, so I can stop eating out all the time and spending all my spare money on unhealthy food. Yeah, I lived with a person once where doing university was a one bedroom apartment. I just took over one room and he had the living room and stuff and he did the same thing, right? And after a while, I start closing my door, right? We're fairly, we're good friends and stuff and I close my doors and then one day he opened the door and said, Chico, why are you closing your door? I go, dude, you keep dirty plates around, food just laying around. It stinks. I don't like it. So I've asked you to clean that and you haven't and it really is disgusting. So I'm going to close my door until your place smells better. Okay. After a few weeks, he started cleaning his shit up. Batman's junk should sell quickly. Yeah, buddy. If you learn how to cook good, healthy, tasty food, you won't even want take out. No, your body starts craving wholesome food over grease and fat. Yeah. 100% Nicholas. That's one thing I noticed as well. Once I started eating healthy, like really good. And I was brought up with that in a big way. It's just life weighs you down, right? And every now and then I would eat some of the things I used to munch on. I'm like, dude, disgusting. Like you feel bad for a whole day. The next day you pay the price for it. Lizard with avoid dairy gluten. So we will feel great. You will feel great. Dear streamer, if your smiles could turn into raindrops, I would wish for it to never stop raining so that you have no standards in your life. The, the Omegaden, the, the omegamillion, the omegamillion. Thank you for the lovely poem. I'm the love. Thanks for the advice. I'm sick of the free Tommy Robertson campaign. You know what? He's free, isn't he, Martin? I thought he was free. He is free. Isn't he a member of parliament now? I thought he was a member of parliament. I'm pretty sure he was a member of parliament. Is he in jail? Not as far as I know. It hasn't hit my radar. Do they still have free Tommy Robertson, Tommy Robinson stuff? So good. So good. Didn't he run in the last election and win through the Brexit stuff? Farge got in. There was a few. Why won't you let your son and his like looking inside? What? Why won't you let your son and his like looking inside? I don't know what that means. I'm not sure. I keep getting emails about it. Oh, Martin, but emails. Yeah. Oh, he's going to serve 10 weeks for contempt of court. They're going to throw him in. Well, contempt of court was different, but the government was idiotic going after him anyway. No, he did. Isn't he your son? No, it's okay. The kid outside my window is your imagination. It's your, it's the ghost. Was he over here? Is he over there? He did bad in the elections. Oh, he did bad in elections. He did run, but he did, he did bad. Oh, I'm surprised. Zako, Zako. Zako. Is that a Japanese name? Sounds like something from itching the killer or what's that guy's name? Major Japanese director and star. He's done so many movies. I've seen Takeichi, the guy, uh, not the fat one, the killers, but, uh, he also had a gaming show, Japanese gaming show. Liberal Democrats did well. Liberal Democrats did well. Okay, cool. Oh, yeah, that's right. Wait a second. Which one's Farge's party? I don't agree with Robertson on a lot, but he has been handed a death sentence, I believe. Oh, really? You think 10 weeks he might get taken out, Nicholas? Would love to hear, uh, chess views on it, regardless of their views on Tommy and what he stands for. So, Nicholas, you're assuming, you're saying that if he goes to jail for 10 weeks, he's going to get taken out? The Brexit party. Oh, it is the Brexit party. Yeah, that's right. He called it the Brexit party. So, just regarding, uh, Robinson, the British government, if they're foolish enough to put Robinson in a place, if they put him in a place where he's going to get shanked, where he's going to get taken out, man, I can't even imagine what's going to happen in the UK. He's so outspoken on his that he believes he will be killed in jail. If he does, man, hold on tight. Like, I can't see them. I can't see the British oligarchs, the elite, allowing that to happen. I really can't see it. He has appealed to the US for asylum. He has? No way. I can't believe this past my radar. Crazy. They could definitely put him in a low security prison and put guards all over on him and just put him in solitary confinement, right? Separate him from the, uh, the remaining of the inmates, right? Like some people said Julian Assange could be threatened, but I don't think so. Julian Assange won't be taken out. Yeah, Tommy, for US citizenship. Wow. Wow. Wow. I didn't know that. He hit my radar. I followed some of the stuff at the beginning when it was happening and I thought it was ridiculous for the government to do what they did, right? So as Nicholas said, I don't agree with Tommy's stand on things, but I disagree with the government making martyrs of people trying to be, you know, hard-handed when they allow pedophiles to go free. Look at the BBC, right? Look at Savine, the one, whatever that BBC guy that was one of the most ridiculous, absurd, disgusting human beings on this planet where the institutions, the governments, the monarchy and BBC protected him, right? And then they go after people like Robinson, which is ridiculous to me, right? He was part of Milchik that, yeah, Tommy would make a great US citizen with his views. I don't know. It depends where you go, right? It depends where he goes. There are a lot of American citizens, a lot of Americans that have the complete offset point of view perspective on the world and people like Robinson, right? Perhaps, but he is a majorly hated for his anti-Islam views. He has been attacked in public many times so I can understand his fear of any sentence. Yeah, for sure. Finally caught you live again, nice. By radio, by radio. Welcome to another live stream. Capital punishment should come back. Oh, I don't know, Martin. I don't trust the centralized system to make any decisions on the life or death of anyone. We know they've lied. We know they fabricate. We know they've killed people, assassinated people, executed people for political gains. No way I agree with a centralized state bringing a death penalty. My personal take. Hey, we are not all like Trump. No. Reno Mike, yeah, you agree with me, Reno Mike. Huge part of the United States is very much, goes against what Robinson stands for, for pedophiles, murderers. Here's the kicker. Murderers? I don't believe the state. There's been a lot of people they've convicted for murdering someone. And then we find out later that they didn't do it. The prosecutors fabricated. They hid evidence from the defense attorneys. And then they also, the police fabricated evidence. So I don't agree with murderers or anything like this. With the pedophiles, that's one branch that I totally disgusted with, right? The winds picking up and stuff like this. But there's also been cases where the US government has planted evidence on people's computers, right? If they want to get them out of the game and saying, oh, they have child, whatever. So these people have to go on hiding or they throw them in jail. There's a few people that come to mind regarding that, right? So especially recently in the last few years, 10 years or so, one of them was the person, weapons inspector person, right? Well, I forget who he is. Before the Iraq war, right? Give it a three-tier system. There are many crimes I feel should have the death sentence, but 100% agree with Chih-chou. I don't trust any government to carry it out. Yeah, I don't. Many innocent people have been murdered by the state. Yeah, maybe a civilian panel on court cases. I don't know, Martin. I haven't seen any just system yet. And personally, I've felt the same way, Martin. But as I've gotten older, I realized that once, if you take a life, you can never take that back. You can never undo that, right? You have to look into the causes. Why is something happening? Like the mass shootings in the United States is a really good example, right? The mass shootings in the United States, huge percentage of the mass shootings in the United States that have taken place are because of pharmaceuticals, right? So parent takes a kid to the doctor, says, my kid doesn't do homework. My kid's depressed all the time. My kid's violent. My kid does this. And the doctor says, oh, he's got chemical imbalance. Give him these pills, right? Now they don't look into that and say, oh, maybe the school system sucks. He's being bullied. He hates his community. He's been abused when he was a kid. They don't look into that stuff, right? They give him a pill and then these pills are ridiculously strong and it does something to the psyche and the person goes, plans out a mass shooting. There are so many cases like this, right? So should those people be executed? I don't know, man. I don't think so. It's pharmaceuticals, right? The doctors should be held accountable. The parents should be held accountable. The kid has to be looked into. The guy's traumatized and probably had a commission for the rest of his life and there should be some kind of punishment for that. But are they responsible because their parents gave him pills that these stupid doctors told them to do, right? Or they went off the pills. They didn't know what the withdrawal symptoms were. What are your thoughts on DNA with tracking people? Horrendous. Crazy. I can't believe people are sending in their DNA to a centralized company, right? To tell them where they're from, what their ancestry is. First of all, for me, I am who I am. Who I am is not based on my DNA. Who I am is based on the choices I've made in life. My DNA gave me basis, gave me the platform where I could build, figure out who I was through experiences and choices and be where I am right now, right? My DNA, it wasn't coded in my DNA to be on Twitch live streaming. It wasn't coded in my DNA to collect comic books. It wasn't coded in my DNA. Well, maybe it was to drink black tea, right? So I think people are crazy. Instead of working on their personal abilities, personal finances, their wisdom, their health, their, their spiritual being, right? Instead of working on that, they take their DNA send it somewhere and they build some kind of imaginary connection to a root place somewhere. Meanwhile, they don't realize that their DNA is being used for nefarious reasons, I guess, right? Crazy. So a jury, a jury. So what's called your peers, but a lot of people live in places that they're in small towns specifically, that they can't really relate to anyone in that town. So are those people their peers that they're going to be judging them when they're where they don't have any understanding of who these people are? We already have that and they're very easily manipulated. Yeah, the kids these days are unpredictable, drugs, social pressures. Yeah, I agree with that, Martin. The and the societal pressures, the economic pressures and political pressures is crazy. The education system, all of it goes down to the education system. I got into crypto recently, especially XP, XRP. Have you looked into it? If so, what are your thoughts? I think it has a lot of potential due to the transaction speed and the company behind it, Ripple seems to be organized. I'm going to work with financial search. Pyredio, there's a lot of hype behind Ripple, but there's a lot of hype behind a lot of cryptos, right? I personally would be using cryptos as currency, not as a, unless I had extra extra money, not as a place of store of value, right? So for me, cryptos are to be traded. To be honest, I feel some crime should have the death penalty, but I don't believe there is a way of carrying it out. So I'm not avoiding it. Just when I hear of some crimes, my first thought is the predator should face death. That's all I mean. Not that we actually do it, because it would indeed be views. Yeah. Nicholas, there are people that we know in our societies that are the most horrendous criminals, some of the most horrendous criminals in history, right? They're right up there with mass murdering psychopaths, and they're running around free, deciding how our society should function. My personal take, they should not be allowed to be around, but I'm not willing to do. I don't trust anyone else to do. Chico, I've got to head out, but I had fun hanging out with you today. Have a good day. You two are kind of side. Hope you had some nice puff puffs or vaps. That's a central collection system for the government, I reckon. Yeah, big time. And it's not, it's not just they're connecting, they're collecting the DNA of the people sending in the samples. Once someone sends in the samples, they're also getting the core DNA of the family. They're family members as well, because they're connected genetically, right? For most people, it's just a fun experience, but some people put way too much weight on their ancestry. Yeah, Dante, like fifth generation Americans, calling themselves in German, without speaking a lick of German or even having been to Germany. Yeah, that stuff cracks me up. I look, like, I know people, I'm this. I'm like, dude, what? Like, you know, they don't speak the language, they don't eat that food, they don't have any friends from that region, they don't have any friends that speak the language from that region in their local communities. People try to build connections for some reason to obscure distant things. It was weird. I remember watching the BTK killer trial, BTK, I don't know which one was BTK. He described his murderers like his was reciting a recipe. Was that the guy who was in Norway that took out a lot of kids? That took out dozens of kids? Was that the guy? That guy was not pharmaceutical, that guy was just straight up twisted SOB. Thanks for that wise words. Something to think about. No, in US, BTK killer, I don't know which one is the BTK killer. I made peace with those, the reasons behind these mass shootings, Wisconsin, I think, okay, the reason behind these mass shootings a while ago, and pharmaceuticals is the number one cause. Number one trigger, let's put it that way, pharmaceutical is the number one trigger. The number one cause is our societies, our education system, our social structures, our economic system, right? I think the death penalty is letting them off easy. They should spend the rest of their lives in jail suffering, or be forced to give back to society, do some of the most horrendous jobs in our society. Dennis Rader was his name, absolutely, nor do I. As I say, it's more a gut reaction when I feel a sickening crime. Yeah, me too. And it lasts, man, Nicholas, it lasts a while, that gut feeling, and I don't even trust myself when I hear, read about these situations, that I tell myself that I'm very happy that I don't have access to that person. But I would never say we should have an actual death penalty as I wouldn't trust any system to carry it out. I think it's more just my strong first reaction, but agreed with Chicho anyway, I shall come off the topic so we can discuss other people's comments. I used to be a pro-death penalty a long time ago, really. And then I found out that, wow, the state has executed so many people that were innocent, so many. And then I found out about the legal system. And then I found out about our policing system. And then I started looking at the statistics. And then I went, I was an idiot, right? I can't believe I supported something that these institutions were using for political gains, right? It just blew me away. I don't believe in punitive justice. Punitive justice, I gotta look that up. Punitive, is that death? Punitive justice is a theory of justice as holds, okay, so punitive justice, I'm just going to read the definition. Oh, retributive, did you say retributive justice or punitive justice? I read it wrong. Retributive, punitive or retributive, retributive justice. Retributive, retributive justice is a theory of justice as holds that the best response to a crime is punishment proportional to the offense inflicted. Yeah, I don't agree with that either. What's punitive justice? Punitive justice. No, I wrote down punitive justice. Oh, that's what it is. Oh, there's a whole bunch of different things. Restorative justice. Restorative justice, okay, so punitive is retributive, okay. So punitive is retributive justice. Okay, good to know. Thanks for that, Dante. Learn a new word every day. Any reason you should ever lock someone up is to protect society from not to punish them. Dante, well said. It's when you punish people for punishment's sake. It's not much different than retributive, okay. Maybe we should have judges like 2000 AD would say on paperwork, Martin, I love judge dread. I love judge dread, right? I love the whole concept of judge dread. However, the counter example to that is this, look into kids for cash in the United States. What happened with two judges and private prison system that this private prison corporation was paying two judges $5,000 a pop to send kids to jail, right? And these judges were operating for a few years and it was revealed that over a few years they had sent like a few thousand kids to jail, right? And they were collecting $5,000 a pop. So a few thousand kids multiplied that by the average household in the United States, let's say four, right? So 40,000, let's say, if there was 4,000, I don't know what the numbers were, right? Or four times, I don't know how many there was. Okay, let's say 10, 15, 20,000 people's life directly affected, multiply that by their extended family and their friends, right? More people affected. Multiply that by the people that they harmed when they came out of these punitive systems, right? Man, those two judges, that hit, that news hit my radar when it was first coming out and it was blogging politics, right? And my instinctual feeling for those two judges were just give them to me, just give them to me, right? As Nicholas said, that was my gut feeling that my God, two judges destroyed tens of thousands of lives for $5,000 a pop, right? Those two judges got sent to jail. The CEO of the company that was paying them off, as far as I know, didn't get sent to jail. The management of the company didn't get sent to jail, as far as I know, right? This system is corrupt. I don't trust it, ever. Punitive is part of retributive, but people often mean the latter fully when they say the former, no offense, not trying to be pedantic. Okay, cool. Arf, arf, arf, arf, arf, arf, arf. Thanks for the correction, Orbs. Punitive is part of retributive. Okay. Yeah, Martin, look into it. I wrote about it. I called it at the time when I was blogging it. I think the title I gave it is, what would you do to people that were selling kids for $5,000 a pop? I was trying to hold back on my words, even, right? It was crazy. May I ask, do we believe that the majority of criminals can be rehabilitated? Yes, I do. Majority of society, majority of humanity is not evil. 99.999% of humanity is good. People want the best for others because that in return means the best for you, right? But through our economic, political system or social structures or education system, we put people under so much pressure that they crack. Martin, those two judges, those two are on the same level for me as some of the political leaders in our societies. Okay, so we would then say some are beyond it, some are beyond it. Some can't be rehabilitated. I agree there. Anyone can become invested in their community enough to be stable without crime through stewardship. Yeah, our whole system has to change. I agree with her. Our whole system has to change from the base down of education to the food supply, to housing, to health care, to the structure of our communities. Some people are born evil, but not many fortunately. Yeah. And some people over time, because they've been abused, they just become nasty. I agree, and I'm going somewhere with this. I just don't want to jump in and assume people's people's views so bear with me. Okay, let's lay it out for us. For sure. It's so nice and toasty here right now. So nice and toasty here right now. So toasty. I haven't even eaten any of my thingamajie. Tahini. Delicious. And then tomorrow, what are we doing tomorrow? That was a quick tour. Yeah, these streams go really by really quick. I love them. It's super cool having this dialogue. It's hard to have this open of a dialogue locally to a certain degree. People fully borrow identities from culture. They can't be blamed when they develop a set of behaviors that they won't be able to defend if asked directly by someone they want to invest with. Definitely not born evil. I think there are some that are, there are some that are chemically imbalanced. Okay, let's not call it evil. There are some chemically imbalanced things that happen that people don't have the understanding of right and wrong. They're born without the empathy needed to exist in our societies. So we can't really call that evil, I guess. You're right about that, Arv. We have to call it imbalanced. But then again, we're going down sort of a darkish path if we have centralization of state, because centralization of state can decide what is a chemical imbalance, right? I'm a big Jack the Ripper fan, not for what he did, but who he was. Wow. So you must know your Martin, the history of it. Ock, how are you doing? Thanks for popping by. Thanks for stopping by. Hi. So for those who can be rehabilitated, given the amount it costs to house prisoners, at least here in the UK for years, around 37,543 pounds, what alternative do you feel could be looked at? We have to, the whole thing is we can't work within the system. Alternate systems have to be established. The first place, in my opinion, we have to set up these alternate systems or education system. Because once you set up these alternate, alternate education systems, these systems where people are truly being held responsible for their own personal choices, what they do to learn to grow, to acquire tools and powers that they can exist the way they want to exist, that's the first place we need to begin. And that's going to take a lot of time. Once we start establishing those, there's going to be less and less people going to jail, right? And what's going to happen is cost per unit to house these house inmates is going to go up because the jail style still have to remain functional. And that's going to reach a point where the whole thing is going to collapse, right? Prisons are going to close. Once prisons start closing, then what you're going to do, you're going to have consolidation of inmates into certain prisons, and then cost per unit is going to go down. Hopefully we continue to build our education centers, okay, and slowly over the next few decades, reduce the number of people that you have to lock away from society, right? There's no magic pill, call them Trump. Chemically imbalanced from birth. Are we talking brain, brain damage to a certain degree? You can call that, I guess. Some people, if they're parents that are alcoholics, they're drinking every day, even when they're carrying a child, right? Then that can happen. Sometimes accidents, sometimes chemicals in the environment, right? Sometimes it's just a mutation or medicated psychosis, possibly, possibly. I'm not a, I can't make the distinction. I don't know enough of that. But I know there, 100%, there are cases where human beings, it's just chemically imbalanced. Is it because of brain damage? Is it due to birth, the parents doing something, or is it medicated psychosis? Because there's physical imbalances, like psychosis, we centralize state. Centralized state does define through research, but there's ideological imbalance, which is fully gathered from culture. Yeah, oh yeah, there is a difference between them, for sure. Thanks for pointing that out. Very important, right? We're not talking about, I'm not talking about, the problem is a centralized state starts enforcing ideologies, right? Without the science to back it up. And unfortunately, politics has entered and economics has entered the realm of science. It always has, really. So we can't just make decisions based on science either. There's got to be a fine balance between things. But ideology should never be used to criminalize people. I have a degree in psychology, so I know a lot about serial killers. Oh, that's why Martin, that's why, oh, that's why you, the death penalty, right? That's a dark place to, man, I was fascinated by that stuff when I was younger, but I pulled away. It got too dark for me. Oh, so you're talking about people who literally can consent to the identity they develop. Surely that's not a pro, a purpose to discussing, improving education as a solution that I think it is. I think through education, we can deal with most of the problems in our societies. Really, I've seen it. I've done it. I've had a lot of different types of students, people I've dealt with, and just introducing a lot of love, a lot of caring, listening to people. It changes their behavior. I don't have 100% success rate. I don't. I'm like 95%, which is damn good, right? But I've seen people change their lives. I do some therapy work and I have a weird fascination with genuine psychopaths. I have this desire to understand their motives and what makes them tick. So I'm kind of with you, Martin. Yeah, I stopped being interested in that, Nicholas and Martin. I just, I don't want to understand it to a certain degree. I just want to know what helps it. And I know the part of trying to get them, trying to understand what helps them or helps to help out the situation is understanding them. But it's not a place I want to be. We can have unbiased policies. So I don't think ideology is necessary for politics. We can definitely only use science. People just have to move the discussion that way, for voting to go that way. Arf, I agree with you, but we're coming at a time. I mean, just imagine majority of the world right now, still under the dark umbrella of America's war on drugs, and that is just pure ideology, economics, right? There is no scientific basis behind it. However, there were a lot of scientists that wrote papers saying that cannabis is wrong, that this was wrong, that opiates are all of this stuff, right? So we can't just rely on one thing. We have to, we have to root off corruption in a huge way. Okay, I'm off to you, Joe. Thanks. Thanks for hanging around, Reno. We do have to take off soon. We're going to end the stream soon as well. So thanks for, thanks for sticking around. I've never been that interested in serial killers. Multiple personality disorders create the worst killers. I watched some of the documentaries. It's interesting, but some people are so obsessed with it. Dante says, So you're concerned with how people with brain damages or handles a new drug. That's very fascinating, but I can't imagine it's a large enough percentage to base full systematic changes on. We make a lot of disabled services available and could improve them. I don't think it's some of the, you want to call them brain damages, chemical imbalance, whatever you want to call them. Some of those people, I don't think outwardly they show those signs inwardly there that way. Outwardly they've learned to put on this image of this person, right? That's as far as I've gone. Beyond that it gets dark, man. I used to be into that stuff when I was younger, a lot of brutal movies and documentaries and stuff, but I just acknowledge that some people don't think like I do. Don't care about people like I do for whatever biological environmental reasons. I'm with Dante. That's the simplest way to go. To a certain degree, some people are genuinely beyond help because they don't want it or feel they need it. My work would deal with more young offenders. Yeah. And one thing Nicholas, I'll add to that. Some people don't think they deserve it, right? Some people have reached a point that they are the way they are because they don't think they deserve a second chance. They don't deserve things. I don't know what category they belong to. Oh, sure. The war on drugs has been a huge distraction. Every counterculture movement and the proposed mainstream response like drugs have been a distraction from academic policy and ontology centered approaches to discipline and coverage of domains in the news. Okay, gang, let's call this stream. Okay, let's call this stream. I am so toasty here in our sun room. Thanks for the discussion. Arf, thank you for the feedback as well. Nice, nice topics. Martin, Dante, thank you for sticking around, taking care of some business. Nicholas, nice to see you rather, nice to see you and everyone else. For those that are followed, subbed. Thanks for the follows and subs everyone. Very true. Especially the lot of the kids I work with, but I can't really say any more than that for job reasons. Thanks, Chicho. Thanks, Chad. In my work life, I see some real, real crazy people looking in their eyes and they're blank. Yeah, hanging around bars, Martin. That's where I saw a lot of darkness when I was hanging, when I was doing my rounds. A lot of darkness. Have a wonderful evening, Chicho. You too are truths. Thanks for an awesome stream. A lot to think about, but need to read comics first and relax my brain till your next one. Bye, my friend. Bye, guys. I can only hope we all find a way to help. Yeah, that's the best we can do. That's the best we can do and slowly nudge ourselves to where we want to be. Be safe, Martin. Be safe. You be safe for sure. Your work is in an interesting place, is an interesting place. So tomorrow, gang, if you can make it 5 p.m. and 5 p.m. PDT, my time. And what are we talking about tomorrow? Our live stream is on, is on, is on, is on, is on. What is it on? Open discussion on relationships, the do's and don'ts of human interaction. Nice, nice. We covered that somewhat today, right? Keep a strong spine. Yeah, thanks for the stream. Thanks, guys. And I'll see you guys tomorrow at 5 p.m. if you can make it. If not, in the next set of live streams or the next video we load on, but you do YouTube. Bye for now. Have a safe Sunday, gang. Nice, Nicholas. See you guys tomorrow. Bye for now.
