How do you do nice to see you? so I Finally bit the bullet and I got stream yard. So I need to figure out how that works and Use it in the future, especially to have guests on for live streams And codename new to your very to I think is gonna be my first text test subject Not not necessarily for a live stream, but for something Planned for Cobra Convergence 7 so so thank you codename new to very to for being the guinea pig as I Figure out how to work this thing, but it seems pretty intuitive. I think it'll be fine. Hello Keldon. Hello rich Hello, I think I said hello gray Fox either The PO box stuff is all stargate. So it could be I don't know but you know what? I actually completed The Hasbro stargate collection the Hasbro movie line. I actually have all of it And and the variants I have all the variants that I'm aware of It that was it didn't take long And it wasn't expensive the most expensive piece in that line is the winged glider and the winged glider is a really cool vehicle That's the star. That's the prestige item of the line. The rest is really quite Common and expensive. So yeah, I just went ahead and finished it out, you know finish it off So I have I have all of them so yes, hello cyclonus and Anybody else is snuck in here Yes, a stream yard is much simpler than OBS. I'm sure that it is I have no doubt about that So we're going to we're gonna give it a shot and yeah, it does seem pretty Intuitive so I don't think it'll be a problem, but I have needed to to Have more guests on and I need to I need to conduct some interviews congruent to Cobra Convergence 7 so Yeah, I've just I've got it's time. It's well past time for me to to move up to to Streamyard and and code name new to very to gets to be the test subject. So thank you again Thank you. Thank you again. Hello Lester. Hello. Yo, Joe From the Hilt says I've entered the Stargate. I did But I came back. I can't I oh, thank you for the super chat. Josiah. Yo, yo back yo back to you Hello the Trek reviewer How many songs had to be sung to finish off the Stargate collection? Not that many it's not a small run and and you know Nobody wants me to sing anyway. So, you know, all I had to do is just open up the Vocal chords open up the the windpipe there and they just got thrown at me Is it it was it was very quick very easy and legitimately though It's a really super easy toy line to collect there are not very many items even if you Add the variants and there are at least a couple Even if you add the variants though, it's still really easy to get so I figured you know I already had most of it. So why not? Hello, GI Gary. Nice to see you Stream already has a quirk or two. We get the hang of it quick. Yeah, that's what I assumed So and that's one of the reasons why I hadn't changed I hadn't switched from what I've been using Just because I know this I know this and I don't have to learn anything. I've done it So doing anything new means I've got to learn something new, but it's time. Like I said, it's time. It's time Rich says Just have to say how great the co-commenter video was of thorough informative well-discussed wealth helping offensive. Thank you Thank you, Rich. I'm really relieved that it did all right. I I was I was concerned about this is a good opportunity to talk about To talk about the most recent video I did a long like documentary long-form X long-form video essay style video about Cobra commander and It's of course I was obviously concerned about it nobody watching it because it is very different from what I usually do so You know it was it was a concern so it's a relief it's a relief that that people have actually watched it so yes wipe the sweat off the brow, but The flip side of that the flip side of that is that It has been flagged for copyrighted content so If you will see ads on that video, but the ad revenue is not going to me. It's going to Hasbro the Hasbro flag a couple clips of the animation and and That's something that I could fight and I feel confident that I would prevail in that I feel like everything I used is squarely, you know, very comfortably within fair use and I could challenge that but I'm not sure it's worth challenging so So I'm not getting any ad revenue from that. So that's kind of a It while it was expected I can't complain Because I knew I was gonna have to use a lot of clips and sometimes longer clips To make this work. So I knew that was gonna happen. I knew it was gonna happen So I can't complain But it's just I don't know that it's something It that's a good question Bart it's a You know, that's a it's a good question But you know, I'm gonna save that because we had a bit of a copyright discussion last week We could we could go into that some more and it is it is an interesting topic There are some misconceptions about copyright But there are also some things that are kind of generally believed to that about copyright that are pretty close to true so It's it's fun, but we are we already discussed copyright a lot So I don't want to go too much into it. All I want to say is that the revenue is not going to me I wish I could just take Ads off of it, but I can't do that. It will run the ads and it will the ad revenue will go to To the copyright holder even though and I don't think they're entitled to it, but Oh, thank you for being here cyclonist have fun at work. Good luck But yeah, it's it's it's a little Again, I don't want to complain. I knew that was gonna happen I knew it was gonna happen, but I wanted to that's that's the video that I wanted to make more or less That is a it's a long video. It's a video that I should have done over a couple months and Planned out really thoroughly and got, you know all the assets together and And I but I didn't have that much time. I put the whole thing together in a week I really did put that thing together within With since the previous video so I did the mutt and junkyard video and then I started working on that one And then it was done in time for early access for For patrons Firefly says do you know if it was flagged by an algorithm or by a person? It was the algorithm. It's content ID. They it's They're just checking it as soon as it's uploaded before it's even public. It'll flag it so Content ID content ID is all it does is find matches Okay, it can't you can't look at the context and see if That use is at a infringement or not. It just looks for matches and I Knew I knew that was gonna be an issue. So again, I'm not complaining about it. It is what it is but a Truck of your asks about what I think about there of the recreated enterprise deep bridge on the last episode of Picard I haven't seen it yet. I will be happy to Give you an assessment after after I've seen it. I have Because I've been trying to get this video done in a fairly short amount of time I haven't done a lot other than that up to the point that it was Done so I've been it's been a little bit active lately, but quite quite busy quite busy. So So that's but it's done right it's done I I do kind of wish I had given myself more time to work on it Hello, Rob Vegas nice to see you He says good day from Sonny Melbourne Good day from the United States. Thank you for being here and sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse nice to see you as well Anyway What was I saying? Yeah, I wish I had given myself more time to work on it, but It's a project that should have gone over maybe a couple months But if I had taken a couple months to work on it Would it have been better? And I think yes a little bit it would have been a little bit better But not two months worth of work better and it would have been it it would have been 95 percent the same and I think the only Things that would have changed were there are a few examples in there that I wanted to That I would have liked to have thrown in Um, but I just didn't have time to get the assets that I needed to put them in I think that I got the point across but I I there were other things that I could have included if I had more time And so it but it would have been 95 the same. So yeah, I could have worked on it for a couple months That certainly would have been easier on me um But uh, but would it have improved the the video? I think it would have been almost exactly the same as the one that you got. So Um, oh, hello woodman 29 there. How do you do? Um, hello Raymond Sheffield Uh, I I was I frankly was not on the pooper. I was here. Oh, you're saying you were you well, that that's okay You know, that's everybody does it another concern that I had of course was that um um In discussing cobra commander, I At least For the video that I wanted to make I did not have any intention It never even was an option to skip the political part of it because it's there I mean, it's it's in the text and the subtext Um, so ignoring that was not going to be an option if I was going to make a video like that. So There was also a concern about it being demonetized because it has um A lot of Nazi shit in it. So You know that that's frowned upon That's difficult to to pull off in a way that doesn't scare off advertisers, but But the thing is that's what it is and um, I didn't want to do this um YouTube content creator thing where you talk about a subject, but you avoid certain words that can, you know Maybe flag you for a demonetization or Um, you know, maybe a topic that's too hot for advertisers Um, I I mean, I just well, I mean, I understand why people do it, but I just don't believe in that If uh, if we're gonna have a discussion about a serious topic and a difficult Topic then we're going to use the words We're gonna we're gonna use the actual words for what they are and we're not gonna dance around it We're not gonna use metaphors. We're gonna if we're talking about fascism. We're gonna talk about fascism and we're gonna say that word um, so That was a concern Um, another concern is like people don't like for you to talk about um, um Politics in general and I and I I understand it makes people uncomfortable and uh What while I sympathize I still didn't feel that ignoring that part of the subject Was appropriate Uh, so of course I was concerned about hostility Um and which by the way if you if you're watching If you are watching a video that's describing the the uh, the traits of fascists And you recognize stuff about that In yourself and you feel attacked by that Um, that is something you should absolutely look into In yourself you should you that I would If I were watching something like that and I saw wow this seems to be he seems to be talking about me I would be a little upset. I I would want to take a long look in the mirror. Um, so Uh, for for anybody who who did feel attacked Okay, um Uh, but but in any way in any rate, um, I I I wanted to address it the way that I saw it and use the terminology as it should be used. Um, at least as close as I could um it To say that it's more Complex than what you can condense into, you know, a 56 minute video is an understatement. Um, all of these um, political ideologies have lots of facets and lots of Justifications and arguments around them and historical data And examples and it's but I can't put all of that in A video in one video about cobra commander. So I tried to I tried to limit it to just What needed to be said and what what I needed to say in order to get the point across so Um, uh, thank you matt. Thank you very much. Um Uh, yeah, I I I appreciate it. I I really wanted to Do something that, um You know, would at least just get get these the thoughts that have had about it, you know on to Into a format that that I could express it. So we've done that uh, and And it didn't tank so thank you I got a new patron out of it. So so again, thank you. Um, I I got a few additional subscribers out of it again Thank you. Um, I did I'm not getting any revenue out of it Which is it kind of sucks because I am dependent on that at the moment So, uh, that it wasn't the most wise financial decision that I've ever made but You know at sometimes You got to do things the right way even if it's Even if it isn't profitable. So that's what we did And and and there we go. There there we go. Um Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you to non rep productions for the super chat to help the loss Add says thank you. That was that's actually incredibly kind. Um Uh, uh non-nef productions that about makes up for it in just one super chat I am I am I am humbled and I thank you. I appreciate it and I I promise I wasn't Asking for for Money and I'm certainly not trying to get sympathy. Uh, I uh, I knew that it was going to be an issue Before I put it up there. I knew that that was going to be an issue and I accepted that but that That helps a lot. Thank you very much for the super chat and thanks to everyone who actually watched it and is Is still here and still around and didn't just, you know, uh, walk away Because of a video that's very different from what I usually do. Uh, thank you, jm Beretta night. Uh, thank you very much Um, and thank you rob. Uh, and hey there rat face. Nice to see you rat face. Um Yes, I am Josiah by choice. I am by choice. It's a long story. We won't go into it But yes by by choice Um, uh, I I got you, uh, uh, uh, kelden absolutely and thank you again for the super chat. Thank you. Josiah and kelden. Uh, you guys, um, are Uh, really fantastic, uh help. I I can't even tell you how much. Um, but you guys have have kept me going You really have uh, it's been a very complicated couple of years But we've got through it and we're still working on it. Uh, we're still chugging so, um How are we doing on time? Uh, so I did I did want to I wanted to talk about the the most recent video I wanted to Get that out there. I want to talk about, uh, cobra conversion seven But I want to save that for like the the last, uh, half of the video. Um, it's tuesday I want to remind everybody one there's new episode of half the battle timmer looks at a, uh, Contest in belgium, uh that gave away a, uh, gi joe defiant, uh Space shuttles of the defiant complex Really interesting. Um, also what's on joe mind is coming after this So, uh, I will not go over so that you can go directly over to what's on joe mind after, uh After this live stream is over so you can catch theirs Normally I get the links for both timmer and for, um, what's on joe mind and put it in the description But I was a little pinched for time But you know where they are. So check out timmer. Check out what's on joe mind. Uh, thank you gray fox for the super chat Thank you also bubble wrap memories for the super chat. Can't much at the top. I really wanted to help you Thank you. Uh, thank you very much. Um, I it It it means a lot and it helps a lot it helps more more than I can tell you it really it really does Um, so oh, and thank you. Josiah. Are you doing a go fund me for joe festus here? I'm trying not to I'm trying to Um, the problem is I feel guilty when I ask for Money from people asking people to join patreon is it's one thing. I mean, that's difficult enough Um to ask people to part with their hard-earned money. I can at least give something a little extra for patreon Um, but uh, it's it's it's difficult for me to to ask I just don't like to ask it makes me feel guilty it makes me feel uncomfortable even when it would really help it's still For example, um, when I I took a uh a root 66 road trip with my daughter last summer and I had um Put together a plan by which I would uh pick up souvenirs for People who wanted to support me on the trip. Um, and after I even Um proposed that I I'd reel that back in because I just I didn't want to ask I didn't want to ask people for that. So I'm gonna I'm trying not to do uh a go fund me Um, but uh, but we well I should still be there The hotel is booked. Everything's booked. We're we're going So we should be there and I hope to see everybody and I want to talk more about that I want to talk more about that as we get closer because I'm hoping to see a lot of you guys there And we'll get together. We'll do some fun stuff. It's gonna be a great time. Um Uh, and thank you bubble wrap memories. Um, uh I thank you. Thank you. Um, and um I I hope larry would like it. I really tried to stick to the facts And to like Have direct sources for anything that you know that I that I put in that he said um A lot of it's fairly common knowledge But um, I want you know when you're speaking for somebody else You're using their words. You want to be careful about it. So I really I really tried to be uh accurate, um, when Quoting larry or buzz or or any anybody else. So hopefully, you know, hopefully it's it's acceptable. I hope so Um, but at any rate before we uh go On I I want to talk quite a bit about cobra conversion seven because there's been a lot of development We're getting closer before we do that though. Um before I'm a stand-up journalist. That's that's good Before we do that though, um, I've got I've got these from the po box. I've got a letter um And I've got this box from I believe the same person who sent the boxes previously um, it says open this end So so I have opened this and I haven't I don't know what's in it yet Uh, in fact it's covered up Uh, but we'll we'll check and see what that is. But I've got a letter I'm gonna go ahead and do this because I want to show my appreciation to folks who who sent stuff Thank you. Joe. Sia. I think your fans are okay with that. Go fund me.

I'm working on it. Um, hello, Todd. Thanks for doing that. Um Um Did any multi-level marketing enthusiasts get offended by cobra commander video? Uh, I I can only hope so You know that sometimes it's it's okay for a certain segment to get offended Uh, if you're not offending a certain segment then You might not be doing something right.

Timmer did an event Uh in the gap year when when I wasn't around So thank you timmer, uh for for keeping the spirit alive I'm very grateful about that, but we're in the the seventh organized year of cobra convergence and We have almost, uh, I mean we have a roster, but it's not I don't think it's quite set in stone yet um what I would like to One thing that I always regret After every event every year is that there's always somebody That should have been brought in that should have been invited But for whatever reason I overlooked that person somebody who's in the gi joe fan community Somebody who's doing something creative who's doing something To contribute and who should be a featured presenter and I with on it And every year I'm like, okay next year. I want to make sure that person is in but I'm trying to not Do that. Um, so I've tried to Invite everyone that I know wanted to be in But um, if you are listening to me if if you're with that within the sound Of my voice and you are a gi joe fan creator Uh, thank you, Dave.

Well within reason, um Of course, we try to make it cobra related, but that that's a That's that can be stretched a Cobra is connected with the gi jo universe in many ways So, um, it's cobra But it doesn't necessarily have to be All cobra, you know what I'm saying people have been very creative very creative about how to um How to present something for cobra convergence? But has a broader reach outside of cobra in the gi jo universe Um, we will have a theme. We'll announce that at some point in the future.

We've talked about that already. I already asked her if she's busy that weekend But the dfw show I may I mean I'm seriously going to try to make that I'd really love to see ron again and it seems like uh ron is not going to be at, uh, joe fest So if he's not going to be there, maybe I can at least go and see him, uh in the dallas area Uh peg warmer says pixel dan is a super nice guy. That's what I've heard. I've heard really nothing good Nothing but good. Oh, wow. That's a way to start a rumor. I've heard nothing good about pixel dan No, the opposite. I've heard but nothing but good about pixel dan Um, and I'd love to yeah, I believe it was the 24th. That's right. Marianne. I believe it was the 24th um, and um, I I just Like marianne says she's always always down for a road trip. I'm always down for a road trip I just need the opportunity and you know the time and the Other things you need for a road trip, but I love I love taking road trips.

Everybody can can uh Roll on over to uh, what's on joe mind? Uh, jeff says hcc and pixel dan beef incoming.
