you know five to 10 they spent 25 years building their wealth off of children okay literally children the likeness the characters they literally made these kids go out there break their legs break their necks heck some of them even died and went into financial destitute all on the behest in the backs of the lovely ncda oh yes give us our money that's right you love us we tell you what to do that's right we gotta give you the rules and so they're gonna hold back a bunch of kids again in a disgusting manner have come out with their decision to not let the jmu undefeated football team play

for being here it's not for stuff for welcome back brandon arnold welcome back rob cat hey good to see you dr claw good to see as always too user friendly welcome in chris brum welcome back who else we got kenny lauderdale the man the myth the legend thank you for shopping daniel i already said you sorry kevin welcome in ronnie s welcome and time jag heater hop what's up dual sport hooligan welcome in black patron welcome in ariel thank you for coming everybody there you go catching up on the super duper shout outs for you so that's just my high energy high level thursday welcome in sorry so here's the reason too you know normally do the show on mondays and uh i had to i had to skimp out monday because i had to go i had to actually go to pick up stuff from a uh let me see here i'm gonna get some documents so i had to go get some items from a goodness a uh estate sale again so i talked about this last week was zez on monday uh some probably most of you were here for that and i showed off a couple items that i got i got this lovely awesome right this toshiba toshiba boombox right here i got this and then i got that montgomery ward crt and that's all great so that just kind of got me into thinking more about getting into uh estate sales and there was another one that ended last friday and then i actually won some stuff so here's what i won i won three items to be specific from this specific uh auction and this was located one hour drive from my shop okay so that's that's the logistics and this was all i got to see from my items okay i'll actually pull some of this stuff out so you can see it it doesn't have any information on it but i got three items from this particular sale and let me show you you can see everything i had to pay on each item so first off i got i got this which all i got to see was like a couple pictures of things this is a 21 speed woman's bike it's for my wife for her birthday it's coming up i paid 82 dollars was the bid on that so that doesn't even matter it's not even anything important but it was part of my load that i got and then i got two items that you're going to see here first off we've already been talking about the kv 9400 i got that and i got it for ding ding ding can you see can you see you want to guess i know you probably just saw it 22 us dollars okay and i also got another boombox for 14 dollars okay so those are the two tech items now when you buy from these estate sales you gotta you gotta pay attention to the details because if you look at the details here for the three items uh which you know totaled from my bids 104 124 dollars was my bids okay oh wait no not even it says 118 so it says 118 was the uh total for all three items but look what i had to pay also i had to pay sales tax of course so that's eight dollars and 35 cents but then i had to pay a buyer's premium of like 18 percent to the auction company on top of that so when you buy from these auction companies they can be as high as 20 percent as most of the time as i see that's what i see they charge you on top of that so you have to know that because one of the items that i did not actually win uh let's see if i can find it here oh it was it was the jvc the lovely jvc space helmet tv and i was i was really wanting this thing it was this one let me pull up an image of it well if i can goodness that's just just ruthless here we go so let me show you an image of what i was looking at it was a bit yellowed some more like this no that's not what i want either that's a video let me just put it over there and images and then we'll go over here to the dashboard this is the one okay it had everything it had the chain it's this jvc it was the white one now it did have some yellowing it did have some yellowing but uh that's the one okay and it someone got a bidding war with me on it and it got up to 300 and i was done i couldn't pay over 300 or 200 and like 250 was my limit and they got it over that it was like 300 bucks would have been the next bid and i just couldn't do it too much money for me now i i'm gonna regret it i know it like now i always regret i regret it i went there and i picked this up and i saw it sitting next to it and i and i regretted it uh even though this is cool looks great especially now i mean it was really filthy when i got it uh just not been cleaned or done anything had anything done to it in a long time so got this and i also got this right here how cool is this right another tape deck i love it sanjo the model is the m7700k okay and uh made in japan i don't actually see a born-on date on here sometimes it's on a label internally in these but i got it and it just came out with nothing but uh it didn't come with any power cable to it it just can't they just gave it to me said here here you go and i was like oh no power cable okay but it's in pretty good shape one of the speaker grills right here is loose so i want to open it up it's definitely needed some cleaning and i just grabbed and i said okay well let's take it home now um i have tested out so i know it just has it has all the switches there it's just so awesome looking right how cool is it and it has even this i love this one it has dual antennas that go out a long way but look at that how about that it's a little bit smaller than the toshiba uh and the uh the hey overclock wise thank you the handles in good shape everything's like good and it's a little bit tinier than the toshiba but the big surprise was i just i just brought it home and i was like well surely it doesn't still work with the batteries in that and look i don't want to get a copyright infringement but you see it works look talking about girls talking about trucks running in red there you go there you go we're getting rowdy in here can you guys even hear that at all right right i mean that's that terrible chew tobacco chew tobacco spit anyway works with the batteries and the cool thing about this one is it has a little window in here with a battery gauge look at that focus for me girlfriend there we go battery window right there right there so yeah so here's how i did i've been following a couple of these auction companies in my area you got to find out who's in your area what auction companies are in your area and you know honestly i had been following them for the longest time for mostly property like houses land and that stuff was just getting out of control but they occasionally will they did property auctions too like personal property so what i did was i just got on there and i started watching the auctions and they're in virginia and i went and bought you know the first auction that was the one that i bought from last time it was um it was that company that i've been following for years i already had an account registered with them i made bids on property that were way too low they didn't even get it out bid so i did that one i bought from them i went and picked up the stuff got back here did that whole stream last week and in the meantime i got i got sent targeted ads from other companies that this one was called rasmus r a s m u s dot com and i'll bring it up here i'll show you an example what it looks like but they had sent a targeted ad that wound up coming to me and they had had a bunch of that's right daniel they had a bunch of uh auction stuff that they were doing and it you know somewhat like they're in my area okay and i'll actually let's just pull it up let me see closing today oh wow this goes fast see the problem with this website is it just goes too fast i just want to make sure i don't you know accidentally dox dox myself okay i'm not signed in all right cool so i'll show you this what this looks like this is for example i got sent ad and uh it's just like all this is virginia stuff right major appliances and home goods and this one all right let's go to this one so you go in here and i mean it's all kinds of random stuff like they're they're doing like the floor cleaner uh this looks weird like a lot of this stuff looks like generic photos from a shopping website so i i would be very leery of any of this crap this is except for these kind of items like this is all bull why are they giving me this is not how this item looks and there it is okay so it is some you know maybe it's maybe it's items that are in uh new condition in like a warehouse okay let's see anyway it's all different stuff it's lots of furniture um nothing nothing nothing so like this might be something obviously this is not for me but the one that i had found you just have to scroll through these and find i mean this is probably not like i said this looks more like a warehouse and they're not going to have old tech this is all new wayfair.com crap that is being sold but you might be able to get a deal on some of that stuff i just know that anyway a lot of it is garbage kind of like this okay so i can't see to go back let's go back to other auctions that are not that one uh all right private school relocation audio video auction shoot go man this thing oh my gosh see i might get suckered into buying some stuff live here watch who knows let's pull that up so you don't see what to bid on oh see there's good audio equipment here matrix switchers there's a ten cents ten cents see this is where you get good deals right now oh that's a that's an hdmi matrix switcher digital converter i've never even heard of this one a i mean i guarantee you it adds lag what's it doing interesting but this is what you do you go in and you keep an eye out for this stuff i mean look at these things there's not what if they got any crts but i didn't even mean to pull this up right now but this is what i would do oh look see and then you'll find cool stuff like this right this isn't even you can get this for ten cents right now what are what pictures do we get oh no wonder holy crap look at that thing let's see i've got enough junk like this typewriter audio mixers i mean there might be some good audio equipment here what a smart table audio meter so this is just what you have to do you have to find there's going to be companies in your area of the united states that do this kind of stuff i don't have any crts so screw it that's that's enrichment so that would be probably a two hour drive for me so that's always a consideration is time let's see if there's anything else before i completely leave we did that one let's see if this is when it's new stuff like this it's not really again this must be warehouse liquidation kind of things that's not going to have anything we want but sometimes you'll get like the one i found was all mostly older items okay and it was like a farmhouse and the cool thing is is i did a whole video for you guys i finally i mean it's been can you believe it like five weeks i did a full video it's 20 minutes it's this whole video about this lovely trinitron right here it's a complete video about her as well as um uh how i went out there and got the stuff that's real briefly in there but i get to see all that so again that's what i got as far as the tv goes i it took me a while to figure it out now you'll see all this in the video so i don't want to spoil too much about that i just will show you the way it looks now it's cleaned up i've taken it all the way apart everything's been really really shined up on it move that a little bit again kv9400 just a beautiful set now it is an rf only set and the biggest issue is the connectors in the back you'll see more about that in the video but it's got the you know they look like the pieces of chrome you put on your on your tires to keep your air pressure uh air valves closed but you have to use those for this kind of a converter to a coax or if you have the old school Atari uh boxes those would work to power cable again it's from 1980 i did take it apart cleaned it up completely the antennas here it's in great shape hey mark so this one again 1980 now we're gonna turn it on and it's just again rf only so we'll turn it on now just have this cool overlay that's plastic hey race welcome in let me turn that screen down a little bit oh yeah how about that so that's all i got to see for a while it took me a while there we go let me get this uh camera to not try to autofocus for a second but this is this is our set i mean it looks pretty good and i'm gonna show you i promise i'm gonna show you some something on the screen but you'd go up here you change channels let's switch over to channel four and that way i can click on this one and you can see us image on your screen turn the screen down the brightness down a little bit the camera a little closer and i want you to know there's i mean you can see even on the camera that it looks like it's snowing on the screen a little bit thanks mark yeah it is an old one 1980 let's fire up something that has dark backgrounds for a second super metroid and i'm gonna turn those autofocus off hopefully we can get that tuned in so we don't have to to worry about changing that there we go now it's really sharp now this does have this does have what i would consider to be a really great uh rf the agc on the rf pot is too high over clockwise what do you mean by that that's inside where it says agc right because i don't really know much about these kinds of televisions if i could get that adjusted i would do that yeah that would be nice but there is a little bit of snow and i'll check into that agc on on the rf pot is too high but there's definitely a little snow and you get a little you know i just figured it was probably from the old tuner and internally you'll get to see all the stuff all the great stuff about this tv and and also what it did to me it shocked me it zapped me and that's all i'm gonna say about it for right now it zapped me and i survived but well i'll say a little more it zapped me when i was uh just in the focus on the fly back or not the fly back it's it's broken out onto the neckboard okay yeah i believe there is a pot thank you i'll write that down it's just always got a little bit of snow like flickering so if i could eliminate that that would be incredible so anyway the uh what was i talking about here anyway it zapped me when i was adjusting the focus it was on the neckboard and uh i don't know if i found the service manual anyway uh the it shocked me and uh so i got it all in film because i was doing an adjustment and i got i had two cameras on it so i had two cameras so you get to see what happens to the screen when i absorbed the energy which i did i absorbed the energy my arm this one whoa and it took it out of the tube and dim for a second and then to me and i mean it definitely gave me a little zap and uncomfortable moment there for a few few minutes afterwards so that's all in that episode so i appreciate it if everybody goes and watches that next week it'll be a full tear down on this looking at the inside of it uh looking at the circuit boards i do some adjustment like i said in there i shocked myself on it and you'll know when it's out it's going to be next week because here's the here's the thing i will be gone and i will not have any i'm sorry any bunker shows for you next week so if you're here and you want to leave a like please do it yeah knock some sense please it did knock some sense to me realize i was being like lazy and doing some stupid things for no point i have a thousand screwdrivers here and i just don't grab like the ceramic proper ones to make an adjustment whatever there's so many things wrong with me you know you could tell that from the opening of this show right right you made it here anyway there won't be any live shows next week i will be gone so in replacement of that i have one completed episode and i'm trying my best to edit at least have an episode i'll edit and put together and so i'll have two episodes for you next week the second episode maybe it's it's gonna probably have to be the uh it's either going to be the tryptic jmu vlog style with the old tech asking college kids if they know what a tube is i'll just hold up the old what is it you know like an actual crt tube and see if they can tell me what it is and give them a dollar if they're right uh or or it's going to be the footage the lost footage that i have from the music city multicon where i went through and fixed the tv live in the booth as well as showed off a lot of the tv's from the show it just depends on the quality of that video footage how much i can salvage from that trip anyway those two videos will come out so i'd appreciate you watching those but this is the only live stream probably until then i may have some time tomorrow i don't know i'm not promising anything if i do i'll you know come on but i'm really thinking it will be the two episodes that are going to be pre-recorded but released new to you next week that will be out again one of them is going to be a complete thing about going and getting and uh working on this awesome sony kv-9400 well welcome in jacob and 3d board gamer rob cat thank you all for coming and over clockwise thank you for coming and leaving some advice on this set i appreciate you all dammy killer also welcome in so everybody um that's those are the only two items that i got and i don't have any other uh auctions that are on my radar let me check this other website out and we'll pull that up and see if they have anything else now here's something i did do i actually bought another pvm this morning off ebay and this one was too cheap too cheap to let go it was like under $200 shipped for a 13 inch not a big fancy amazing one but it was a recycler who was obviously trying to get rid of it and we'll see if they ship it properly because again under $200 let me see i have to give a special shout out to kyle from kai tour industries for actually notifying me on it because he said he didn't want to buy it but i ended up buying it let me check my email and see how much i paid for it okay your order is confirmed yeah 100 oh yeah it was like 144 plus shipping and i want to say charge like 50 plus shipping so it's $195 how fun is that so have another live unboxing when i get back from the trip oh i didn't even think about that this guy might ship it while i'm out of town oh that's gonna add a add a problem anyway i have to figure that out okay thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you there's our buddy colgan a good nap in i hope everybody has been having a wonderful day i don't really have other than showing off this tv i don't have a lot of uh other things uh going on at the moment i do have uh i'm working on 1405s when i get back also so it'll be some pvm 1405 stuff going on here what's up delusional what's the bs so you can go back you got to go back and watch me rant about the stupid football team stuff probably got my kids banned for life from the ncda from competing in any kind of events poor guys golly what's wrong with me anyway also that this little tv here shocked me i think if you followed my again if you want to see what it looks like i did post some shots of it on twitter yesterday while i was editing the video but sometimes this tv just looks amazing uh let me show you it's got you know it does have a automatic color switch on it but when you get the color tuned in it doesn't really make a big difference brightness knob up here volume so there you go you know i don't know about uh people some is asking about the price of a jvc d tv that's a hard thing to say really right now market goes up and down a lot but if it's good condition that's the digital one and it's 19 inches so i mean i imagine it's going to be four figures probably more like you know i don't know it just depends what the price is one to three grand it could be an asking price anywhere in there for something like that if it's working it just depends on the condition there's so many factors it's like pricing a vehicle or an old uh an old motorcycle anything look at this this thing also has something really cool it's got whoop it's got a handle right here you lift it do some curls right there's my adjustment knobs down here i pull this up the color goes away which is crazy because there's an afc thing aft sorry and i'm not sure what that does but that like it's it that's what gets your color signal to come through because when it's not pushed in it won't do that it'll just show black and white so it's definitely cool old said i'm glad i rescued it but i would have loved to have had the yeah it's not that's not a bad price $1,300 that's crt you know it's not too that's that's pretty reasonable for that i've seen himself for a lot more than that but that's the set if i yeah this you know the channels are just push button up here and you actually have to tune them under this lid also just show more of that in the video but what else is going on all right you heard the rant if you want to go back and watch it from the beginning today's show you can do that i'm not uh let's see what we can do is wasn't really planning on taking that crt apart again so what else can we look at how about something else i've got some products here that i was going to show you for this is for all the 1405 users so i got some proto prototypes shipped to me today they're not today last week the end of the week they showed up at the beginning of the week this week sorry and it's these and these are high quality printed brackets for the l5 pvm monitors anybody who has an l5 will love this bracket because it's it sits there and it normally holds your deflection boards on both sides and what has happened is this disintegrates over time hey apolly welcome in hey andrew so this is a new bracket that i got some prototypes printed i'm going to be testing them for fittings and any i've got two of them one 1405 that i have open that i'm working on the first one has a disintegrated bracket so it's getting one of these it's getting one of these and that's the good thing because we priced some other companies to do it and they wanted like the prices were all over the place the highest was like a hundred and sixty dollars which is nuts for this so i don't know hopefully this will work out everything's good with the design it was a design that someone shared with me online so we'll get everything taken care of you know for credit wise when all that comes through but kyle from kytor industries stepped up said he wanted to try making them for me to help save some crt side so at least we'll have a couple of these to try out and he did have to make some adjustments but the good thing is is there's a lot of stuff on this that's pointless in the original design at this point um a little tabs and stuff that were on the scans that didn't need to be there because they really don't serve any function and you can yes it is 3d printed so you can you can easily go in and print these files too and yourself by yourself if you have once once we get this figured out if it works you'll be able to go take the adjusted file you could print the regular file now or you can wait till the adjusted files tested and i'll be testing it and if that one's working it should be a little bit better and a little bit more printer friendly and uh so that's really great that's a huge solution for l5s which 90 percent of them have a disintegrated bracket like that or arm on that plastic so that's really really an incredible incredible thing there coal just sleeping away looking at him he doesn't care about anything anymore he just wants to oh that's funny yeah i wish i have a 3d printer but it's a hunk of junk you know it's not not the right one let me see if i can add in our let's see if we can do a three-way camera action i don't know um maybe i can move this up and myself up a little bit and we'll bring in the crt down here in the bottom if that's possible so yeah coal's just chilling there we go we should be able to do that oh i also stopped by gamestop this was interesting i hadn't been to a gamestop in a while long while i would say and there we go this should be fun give you a nice trippy view so i went to gamestop and what did i find i found a i found a twelve dollar camera streaming camera okay twelve dollars it was originally stupid it's like a 1080p generic piece of junk let's see if we can find it online and i'll show it to you but it was twelve dollars because they were doing a black friday sale on all their in-house equipment and then uh and so it was already it started at forty dollars when it was msrp written on their sticker then they had knocked it down to twelve twenty dollars and then they took 40 off that price for me so it was only twelve dollars let's see if it's on i think ebay would be good i'm not expecting anything from it oh it's not even on here no matches found anyway i'll show it what we're gonna do is we'll we'll do a test with that camera and see what it does because i mean i think it's gonna be the same quality as the cold cam which is like a twenty dollar twenty dollar streaming camera so it's not very good oh it's all right daniel like i said we're gonna um you'll have you'll have the full fun episodes that are produced i got one done and my goal is to get one more before i get out of town so you'll have that and so i'm not leaving yet with nothing and then uh we'll have a full week when we come back after the vacation after the holiday here in the united states so everyone wish everybody a happy thanksgiving if you celebrate that uh that's like one of my favorite holidays because it's not centered around materialism in the united states and always gifting it's about being humble and thankful and uh you know uh visiting with people and food so those are my my favorite styles of stuff as opposed to just give me give me more more more consumerism yes yes yes black friday deals even though i'm just talking about a black friday deal i got with this camera it's really um you know it's really what uh what the world's about hopefully this humanity anyway hope everybody had fun i know it was just an offbeat off the cuff episode today we've gone about 46 minutes i'll hang out if anybody has any kind of questions mark i did um i did get to go get some bourbons i had a you saw that on i remember on twitter i got to go last night i went there was a bourbon drop and i found another bottle of knob creek i'll show you it's right here not the actual bottle i bought but there was a lot of uh a lot of good stuff matter of fact we could probably pull up my twitter feed and i can show it to you because i took a good picture of everything that was dropped when i was a vet when i got there i got there about 15 15 20 minutes after after the announcement was happening so i can explain this to you a little bit uh in virginia you know bourbon bourbon collecting is crazy it's kind of a thing just like collecting video games there's there's exclusive there's exclusive stuff exclusive bourbons um all these things that you can never find right yeah yeah this is a great one right okay mark you have this good because it's a good one it's a solid solid bourbon but uh it's very it's not it's on the allocated list there's lists in my website everything in my state where i live is controlled by the local government the state government they have their own whole department for that so there's no um it's a little bit better because you know where things are going and when they're when they're dropping etc but uh it's also kind of frustrating sometimes because you can't just go buy certain stuff you have to go and wait for these special announcements you have to run to the liquor store and then get in line and buy the uh actual bourbon once you get there and you only can get one bottle one single bottle so i found the post let me show you what was available uh i know a lot of people probably don't care about this but this was what they had available for sale so just to run through some things here uh some of this stuff does not matter i'm not going to even talk about there was a bottle of heaven hill bottled in bond right behind this jack daniels this basil hayden sitting here that's not really anything special there's some bobbing burgers and shanks back here in pikesville and buffalo trace had a regular bottle and a huge bottle there's the knob creek i bought and then there's old henry mckinnon number 10 year bottle in bond uh so that's what you do you get in line whatever there's bookers too right there whatever they have you get it and that's it like that you get one bottle you wait in the line with all the rest of the suckers who are on their email list and their notification list and you come in you get your one bottle of choice here but some of this stuff is just i wasn't in the price range for a lot of this really not it not at this time so i bought an extra i bought an extra bottle of this knob creek 12 because this is the only bottle i have and it's you know it's getting low so i don't drink it very often but i really do like it i wish i could drink it more if it was available more often i would buy it as something normal but you can see it's right there right next to the register and i had to pay like it's like 67 or 69 dollars retail and so i think i paid 70 bucks 65 i can't remember exactly so that's the one i bought this time because this is all i have and the other one is upstairs so now i can just kind of sit on this every blue moon or whatever and so i got that i got a couple other bottles i went back this morning to see what was left over because i was out paying my bills around town and the only thing was left after from from last night is the basil hayden and the jack daniel's triple mash and the old taylor half gallon which is garbage and yeah buffalo trace is on that list too i just if i have choice between the other ones i always go with the other ones because i have some buffalo trace and i can get buffalo trace easily if i want to go somewhere else and then don't have to pay more than like 40 it's only they can't mark buffalo trace up too much most places if you can find it other states will have it and they'll charge like 40 dollars instead of whatever it is like 25 normally but this stuff they'll charge like 100 for this bottle or you know if if you go to a secondhand store maybe even more on some of them but that's probably a reach so i went back this morning i bought a bottle of that triple mash too it was 39.99 it's a 10 year bottle or not 10 year i don't know what the age is but it's a bottle and bond triple mash from jack daniel's i've been looking for that and i also found a toasted barrel which is a double finished bourbon that i bought so i spent too much money so i spent 180 bucks on bourbon 150 bucks on bourbon now you know like my favorite is just bourbons mostly i do like again some whiskies i like but my favorites bourbons i really like the the double barrel toasted stuff too that's that's usually things i like i like that i know it sounds crazy i like the higher proof stuff i don't like to have a lot of it i like to you know i want to have like one drink and so i like to put it on rock so let that kind of settle it out a little bit and uh i go for the higher proof things that are shoot the stuff i was toasted last night i mean this is this is not this is like my starting point most of the time it's a hundred proof 50 percent i know well and like unfortunately where i live cosco cannot sell the booze uh here so i have cosco but i can't get i can only get wine and beer from them so they can't sell the liquor since it's a state-run liquor thing so i can't get anything that they have unless i go to a different state and bring it back it's no no shopping at cosco in my state for bourbon but then i've got i've got a problem i got too many you know i have like over too many i don't know i'm embarrassed to almost say how many are not oh total wine no there is but the some states have cosco in that that has liquor in it they actually sell their own house versions of bourbon and things and but i like the bourbon like double toast i'm uh i just don't you know what i did here's what i did when i was this is more of my own fault when i was uh growing up in high school and i was a senior and i was a bad bad kid this time you know i was really rebelling against things i was making a lot of mistakes and i would sneak out i would pretend i was what i was uh i was i was in trouble i think i was grounded this time it was summertime i i would go drink and party with my friends but i'd sneak out i pretend like i was asleep and i'd sneak out of my house like i'm sure a lot of kids used to and i'd go ride bike over to buddy's house and did that one time and we his parents were out of town so we broke into their liquor cabinet and we drank a ton of this i chugged all this doers scotch and i mean it was a big glass and i made the i mean i just blacked out got super sick my friend had to call my mom and get her to come get me after she thought i was in bed she thought i was asleep she had to come get me they had to take care of me i was a mess it was like an embarrassing awful thing and just was probably 16 17 at the time really rebelling against everything and so that's like always i've never really been able to drink much scotch or that kind of style of uh whiskey because that and i like the little bit sweetness of the bourbon um i just enjoy it personally so there you go there's your story that i wasn't even anticipating to tell today on growing up as steve as the dog just slowly sleeps the crt slowly weeps and you're listening to the internet creep steve from retro tech and anyway if i show you like there's a top shelf up here top shelf of uh other bourbons now i really do like the knob creek 12 i have another knob creek that's right next to it up there that's the uh but this is a rye so i know a lot of people don't like rye's i do sometimes and i'm not i'm not drinking this stuff right now obviously this is super hot like this is this is that good heat this is a select barrel private barrel pick uh and a single barrel pick it's 115 proof um six years in the barrel and i've had it for about a year so good top shelf stuff hey here's another one i'll show you you so this is a different type this is one i've been enjoying more and in virginia for some odd reason this particular one is not allocated i do not understand why because it's a limited release from larceny which is uh a neighbor heaven hill whatever it's like all the same spot i think it's heaven hill and elijah craig which is another great one so this one is super hot too this one is one of my tastiest favorites i mean i've really been enjoying it it's a it's a batch barrel proof c923 and so it's limited and what they do is it's 126.4 proof so it's 63.2 so yeah this one will make you dizzy if you drink more than like one and a half of them but it's got this awesome awesome tasting notes where it's you let it you put it a little rock and ice let it sit for a second cool down and then you get this smell and this taste of just uh you know the tootsie roll pops like suckers with a tootsie roll in the middle right the chocolate and their chocolate on the outside that's what this has these flavors of and just an amazing way for bourbon and like this stuff man once you start tasting it and getting the taste for that it's interesting it doesn't bother you like uh you're not again you're not sitting here chugging liquor that'll kill you it's poison and too much it's more about tasting and trying to get a taste and like feeling okay you know relax and that's it because i feel i have this bad feeling of always you know talking too much about booze because i have a sister that struggled harshly with alcohol and i mean honestly i thought there was times when it was gonna it was gonna kill her and like she would you know she was bad out into alcohol and it was so it makes me very uncomfortable sometimes to be talking about it because i know like she's very comfortable about it now and she's gone through treatment she's completely sober and has been for years but it's uh at the same time you know i know there's people that struggle out there with it and i get it and i don't want to be you know naively ignorant of that and and kind of promoting something that could end up being something that hurt hurt hurt somebody you know what i mean in that way so i know hey jag heater that's awesome i think that we all have our own tastes and that's the great thing is like there's a lot of things that i like that i'm sure you know vice versa and i'm sure that you could show me some cool things about single vaults that would actually make me like them oh limited oh man limited to 37.5 wow yeah see so in america you cannot call it bourbon unless it's 40 percent that's one of the rules it has to be made in america of course to be bourbon but also it has to be 40 um alcohol content and there's a max on there too it's like i don't know what the max is but you don't really see him over 65 percent very often i don't think they'd go over 140 proof or something once you get to that it's too high so that doesn't but they'll sell it all the way up they sell ever clear what pure grain alcohol here for crazy people i mean that's a bad thing like when i went to that liquor store was right when it opened this morning i could tell the guy who was going in there to get what he was getting was a construction guy probably been working all night on a road crew and he was like he was almost shaking to get his liquor so you feel bad you know go in there and you're like oh my gosh like the same i'm going in there just as like a collector but then you see people who have real problems with it and whatever yeah it's very strong so um again look for the i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna say it one more time we still got some people here guys if you haven't already please do me a favor click like on on the video i haven't been saying enough this episode because we're only up to like 50 likes but it really does help the show it helped the playback people will get to see the show if they're interested and i really do appreciate that that's that's all i really asked for is if you could do that okay 160 wow so yeah that's something you don't see 80 80 i don't really run into that 80 to 70 i don't really see 70 percent bourbon very often at all right that's not like once you get to these single barrels see the thing is it's an aging process and bourbon you know it comes out clear and then it's thrown in a barrel that is charred on the inside so it's burnt on the inside has burnt wood and then it's left to age and it could be anywhere from two years all the way up to like 20 years and but see as it ages every year a little bit of it goes away it's like three percent i think on average so if you get to the point where it's like 10 20 years that's where there's like less than half a barrel left in the barrel because it's all just creeped out and evaporated aged out but it becomes extreme as that happens it becomes extremely strong and that's why you get in and these are more expensive you know they batch this together get a flavor profile or you get a single barrel bottle which is literally they went in they found a barrel they aged it up and now they're selling you the whole bottle and one bottle or one barrel in the bottles and that's going to be unique and then they refinish it other ways so that's your whiskey lesson for the day ah thanks ronnie i appreciate everybody who's enjoying the show and uh i can't let this sit here i want to take a sip then yep that's it the angel share time right i mean there's i watched that documentary they talked about a buffalo trace documentary so i think it's they they did the majority of it coli's just out look at him and he's not even snoring today so anyway guys i really appreciate you all uh coming in hanging out we got it over an hour we're in over an hour here um i'm going to unless there's any other questions about stuff for right now yeah thank you you too overclock wise hey get ridd's shy guy welcome in yeah so uh well it's noon we can go for a little while i mean i'm just hanging out nobody's really doing anything i don't know that uh i tried to watch a movie on this television and it was difficult again maybe it's that agc thing that you were talking about i'm sure probably is but i kept having interference on the screen and i couldn't even finish the movie lots of lines stuff in the picture oh now we're getting like oh we're getting like a maybe the capacitors are starting to go bad on this thing because i've been running it so much i'm getting wobbly lines over here you see it oops yeah that's going to be difficult to see let's let's go to the full screen let me examine okay look here do you see that do you see it you look at look at that line right there along the edge of the picture do you see how it's uh see like the whole image is starting to roll a little bit but especially right here it's wiggling like crazy right there i do believe the caps the caps are starting to go out because i mean it's been sitting here rolling i've probably put i don't know a quite a bit of hours on this thing considering i mean i went through the whole video i tried to watch movie i've used it a few times so i'm i'm probably thinking that it has gosh i probably put 20 hours on it or something maybe not that many but a few you know maybe half that so this caps are probably starting to go out hey koala koa hey i was just showing this off look at this since you just came here i'm going to stay and i'm going to show you this one thing right here look at this this is what i have did i show i haven't shown you this because i can't send you a picture on patreon unless i upload it look at these lovely things right you know what this is i know you know it's the bracket i've got two of them here one the first one's going in yours and we will save the disaster the awful disastrous thing that happened to your d14 from ups we will hopefully fix it make it great look at that how awesome is that love it so happy there's no way i could have printed that thing i know you tried to print it you said you were having troubles with it it's not that easy like my printer sucks my printer is not good at all look the dance and stuff now i got image shake this is weird checks in the mail oh my gosh this bastard so here's the guys here's the only way i've ever forgotten ups i've only got i've gotten ups to pay once i think on a claim one time and i'll tell you how i did it i'll tell you how i did it give me a couple more likes come on somebody's sitting there come on you can help out you give us a like you can give us a like so i can give you the secrets that may be helpful to you to get this thing done i try to tell this but this is very difficult to kind of explain through messaging it's really something i've learned more and more and you never really know um till you try it okay like you never know this is really going to work till you actually do it go through the process and have first off you have something like what happened to koala where they tell you the checks in the mail you know i'll give you the run around sometimes they even like hang up on you and things in the claims department for these places because they really like what are you going to do if they deny you what are you really going to do you're going to run and tell them the police file a report against ups or fedx or whatever they really they have you by the cojones by the cojones sorry about that so the only way i know to really get uh get these things paid out the only way i've ever had them payouts this was this was one this was a situation it wasn't a huge payout it was where i got shipped some boards got shipped some boards to recap and service i did that i would service the boards they were for a television that was like a 40 inch television it's too big to send the whole tv i recap the boards send them to the customer i sent them from ups they i mean the thing was is the way the customer originally packed the boards to me was terrible and i was surprised that they didn't break when they sent them to me but they didn't and then i repacked them and packed them wonderfully and uh to be safe i took pictures of everything i took um you know i recorded my c receipt data really well i got all the information from the store and i'll tell you what i mean in a second why that's important but i did all that stuff it was a local store that i sent them from and you know i insured it for extra i think i insured it for three hundred dollars or something about that range for these boards it's tv boards again so just the whole boards inside of the television crt and so i packed it up nicely sent it there for shipping and it was ground and the boards arrived to the customer and the board the neck board was cracked in half like cracked in half like badly and i was like oh my gosh well that's not going to work so i he said you know what can we do and i will file a claim and i normally they want you this is a 1980 television matty 1980 uh so what i want you to do or what the stores usually want you to do is go down to the store that you packed it from and file your insurance claim there you go down there and you say hey it was damaged i need to file it blah blah blah but that is not what you have to do because you know covid changed things they have all these back doors now all yeah pug dog he's snoring now so they have these back doors now so you get on their website and it says you know you can check your receipt or you could check your tracking and under your tracking for your ground shipment then you can file a claim you can go in and just file the claim without going back in the store as long as you have all the stores information which you can find you can find their email address their store number their phone number all this stuff they usually have little business cards for it at the store that you get you take all that you put in your information is the cell as the sender the stores and then this the buyer or this the receiver in this case you also you can't you know you send in the claim that way it'll give you a document tab where you upload documents so you have to send pictures of your packing you have to send pictures of it being unpacked and then you have to send pictures of the broken stuff and then you also have to file a proof that the item is worth what you said it is so all I could find was legitimate sales listings for this television for like $500 for the whole TV and I said look you broke the boards it's irreplaceable you have to take them from the other TV so it's the boards are worth more than or the TV is worth more than that and and you know that justifies the $300 insurance on the items and it took them a while they didn't say anything I filed it and then I put in for payment if they said payment if you get awarded settlement how do you want your payment I put in a direct deposit for them to pay and I crap you not guys that was the only way to get it all paid was I put in that information I completely bypassed the local store that I bought it from and one day I woke up they said the claim had been approved because I had submitted all the paperwork and I had the money in my account so I was able to refund the customer take care of everything that way and I didn't have to wait for the check to come in the mail which is another just garbage thing what's up Robert I have seen AKI sets but you know I do guarantee they have a lack of controls on them because they're a lower end kind of most of the time hello it's 2 14 a.m welcome thank you yeah that's Robcat unfortunately it sucks like you've got to do that's the only way I've ever had them actually pay out the claim and nobody ever talked to me they never sent me anything I just filled out every single thing they requested in their filing which I'm wondering if they just tell you that bullshit and then they never like file everything that's needed because they're like oh well you didn't turn in this one document and then they just deny your claim but they don't tell you that because they want that chain of command in place so that they're like oh yeah you know again I'm sorry I hope this isn't what happened but I hope that you know they probably what if that local UPS station got to pay out for a pvm and it never sends it out to the client the stores suck now and it's like I figured that out a long time ago man the stores mostly suck unfortunately the only good stores are ones that offer multiple shippers uh and like Tennessee had tons of these they're small they're kind of like pony mailboxes where I was they were awesome they would have an option to ship through every carrier from their place and they would help you if anything happened they would they would like go through and look at your packages I know look you think so Edward yeah go to call that because you might as well what the heck what are they gonna do man that's not cool yeah I really want to get it cleaned up though I really want to get I know it looks awesome like from a distance but you start looking at it I gotta get to signal turned up a little bit so guys look if you're gonna be if you're I mean I've know I've talked to a few people that actually do uh go to JMU if you happen to be at the game anything I will be at the football game I will be at the basketball game this weekend I will be at the tailgating stuff for whatever it is ESPN game day I'm gonna be all over campus this weekend so hopefully I can get some cool footage if I can't then I'm just gonna have a completely different video for you guys so don't worry about it I'll come back with some stories I'll get some pictures for the bunker next two weeks from now that'll be fun yeah see like it started if uh yeah so I don't know I was just sorry just catching up on some chat stuff here everybody anyway man I hate to like we've got a lot large crowd in here today what uh what else can we do for a little bit what else can we do I'm open open here I try to play games sometimes and I just suck at them now stuff or stuff or the only games I'm ever decent at are like sport older sports games sometimes and uh I can play a little bit of this but I can't even beat like the first level I don't I mean I probably could if I went through a strategy guide I just found myself never remembering what the heck to do anymore the old man oh man finally got me but it's a cool amazing game has some really cool stuff to just let like running it's what you do you find great stuff to just shoot pictures of on crts so um turricone I suck at that game too gosh this thing is really getting wonky crazy on me look at that I mean it is going the filter caps blown up let's see this one's got dark backgrounds and usually plays pretty well but I'm telling you it's like it's getting squirrely you can see the snow snow baby let it snow let it snow let it snow let's leave a little crooked Moe I don't know who that is but there is a guy uh no most people like I'm pretty self-taught the only guy that uh I call and ask stuff from is uh save on pat and he's in Huntington beach okay yeah you always want to go through look at this I'll tell you another thing okay I just recently had to do this I used you ship I shipped a it was about 200 a little bit over $200 but I shipped the Sony pvm 1953 md from here in Virginia up to Massachusetts and again it was only a little bit over $200 at the end of the day I didn't have to pack it I did wrap the glass and bubble wrap and stuff but a guy comes puts it in the cab of his car or his truck with him and drives it up there and just gives it to the person it's not going through any chain of shipping you ship is the way to go and it was it was only uh there's only uh the cost is not very much I mean it was $200 okay and I was able to tip the driver with that cost right there I think it was like a 205 after the tip yeah okay if that's what you're talking about I was like I don't know who's claiming to be somebody out there in uh LA you never came to oh cool mark that's a that's a fun job anyway let's see here sorry I forgot I forgot to play oh I started asking questions I just let myself die oh goodness I started answering the questions in the chat and I didn't realize I was actually playing so let's go back and try that again as I can at least get hopefully past the first level here let's go I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna take it a little easy on myself and be a little baby go beginner let's see make sure that do that let's see what's Cole's doing he's still snoring all right we can do it now let's get past all this let's go let's go for it well I gotta get that focused hang on everybody anyway I promise every time it's always something in it that should be good that's a bit better all right now when I was a kid this was one of the few games I used to own I used to know how to play it a lot better than I do now but just gives me that old reminder I was never good at the first one man that one's like crazy hard to me at least because once you get used to this one you have the double jump it's really difficult to adjust anything else and this was always the one you wanted I was like oh heat seeking arrows how awesome is that oh I don't want that dagger though well let's keep going uh-oh oh I almost fell there that would not have been fun but then you get trapped where you gotta there you go there one over here I can't remember there we go I can't remember the placement of every box remember when you were a kid and you just knew where everything was all the secrets and there was no internet even right oh that's why because you get the ah you get the reveal the treasure chests the worst of all special effects pretty much I do like how you can get shield upgrades though that was always fun there's speed runners that maybe look like a child playing this right now because that's what I pretty much do look like is a joke look there's a box get him get him look at the slowdown there yes you gotta love that original hardware that's how we do it we had to deal with that slowdown as a kid oh come on there I am I got the blue shield baby fully upgraded night goodness let's get some points here oh my screen's getting super wonky up top I can see it just it's really gonna make me trip out oh get him when I go under these my goodness I know right but that here's the thing once you get into the game you're not really paying attention to that something like this so this is this is pretty much just that I mean a lot of people this would have been their first experience would have been just like what we're doing right here maybe not this maybe a Nintendo or a master system Atari something like that this would have been like oh man you'd probably been pissed off if they made you play the nissu put it on this TV doesn't mean like dude let me play on any other TV because by then it would have been this TV by the time this game came out would have been what 13 years old or something at least like don't make me play on grandma's kitchen TV it has such trashy reception gosh I should I even go oh I just messed up oh how did I get there what even though that was possible oh and then it did me that crap what's up zero sleep it's clutch man why did I do that I there's no upgrades for me at that point I just blew it I almost made it to the stupid checkpoint too and that's my gaming session folks that's why I'm just an old man with a discharge with a discharge tool ready to discharge that's what I am I'm always ready to discharge always be discharging gling gary glen ross always be close I mean discharging you know what it takes to discharge a crt it takes brass balls baby real steel in anyway if you don't know what I'm talking about you'd probably lose wondering goodness how about that maneuver get out of here I've missed some chests I know I wonder if this is going to give me the well there we go I'll take it come on oh there you go you hear that cold snore how's everybody doing we still got we still got the trio here everybody's here I'll switch over to this view for a second as I catch up and hopefully get back to where I was oh I don't want to I don't want to absorb that fire though come on baby oh that should be a gold that should be a gold suit here there we go let's go back to the not that one that one no I didn't actually have any dad jokes in the stream today I didn't have any dad jokes in the stream yet today I actually haven't done dad jokes and somebody was complaining something I'm just kidding I will do dad jokes again I just have did not do it today unless you consider any of the jokes that I told dad jokes which is very possible but there was no specific oh give me that oh give me that shield I want it I want fully upgraded dude so I can make another mistake and just fall in the water that's the way we do it I wonder if I can get you a closer view let me try let me try to get you a different view and that's right oh yeah let's let's try this view now how about that that's right high tech baby oh I mean it looks really nice when you just ignore the snow and this still beats the scalar experience right oh come here die you know you could I could let him destroy my shield but then but then I'd have to live with the shame of running around with a gold now fit no shield which is just unreal I don't
