That's all right There were definitely some times in the show when when I was sitting on my man. We really We really went some places in this part of the stream and I was like, I don't know but that was the The right maneuver so but somebody somebody would wrote me And they were like, hey, I'm listening to you and Steve right now It's a really great stream and I'm like how far along are you and he's like, oh, I'm in the first hour I'm like it gets worse. It gets much much worse It's about like as hot dog that we used for the thumbnail, you know, it's like it starts off good But then a couple hours later, it's soggy and That's right. Oh my goodness. Wait a second. What have you got going on behind your head right there? Oh, this thing this thing. Uh, this is my newly acquired Uh pvm 20 m4 uh that I purchased uh a week from tomorrow and uh Yeah, uh, I just I did not expect to get a 20 m4 last week But it just kind of fell into place and I got an opportunity. I couldn't turn down I've always wanted one. I've always wanted an m4 Even though I love my 42 q that you serviced for me last year. It's a wonderful wonderful monitor But I you know, I got to get into the big leagues. You know, I I had to get those 200 extra lines and That's a sharp piece man. It's really nice. So I thought I'd put it up here on display. I can see now Yeah, well, this is this is special. This is special Uh, this is a special game for you steve because Exactly.

Because it's not like the last two days have been overcast So it's not a big deal. So I'm out there. I have a garden in the backyard And it's got weeds in it for planting food and I've got seed. We're gonna plant in it tomorrow And so I'm out there. I'm like I tell my son. I'm like he's 11 I give him this tool from From my great great grandfather that's like meant to whack weeds and it's so weird, but it works perfectly And it's rusty and I'm like this how you do it and I'm just down there doing this And I'm like you do this until all these weeds are gone And uh, I was like he's got his tetanus shots, right? He's good. He could yeah, okay He uh, you know, he's so he's out there and I'm like he's not gonna do it He's gonna he's gonna was out. He's gonna stop but I would got it. He stayed out there for an hour doing it and then my daughter she's Uh, she's seven So I had her picking the weeds out of the flower garden around the house And like with a with a spade And pulling them and putting them in a bucket and dumping them So that's what it's like you do all that for an hour and a half with me And then I'll take you to get a slurpee Right put those fuckers to work man First slurpee right and I made them pay for their own slurpee. I just made them That's father of the year right there. I made him actually I made my daughter buy me a slurpee So she had to pay four dollars And in my son, he's a little gangster He pulls out a coupon that he's had for a year and a half for a free No, he did all that work for nothing. No he did all that work for nothing. He could have got a free one He got it free. The thing is they weren't getting the ride They weren't gonna call an uber You know, you don't have an uber coupon there junior. This is now way to second Roger. How older you you have young A young son young young young young kid. I got a five year old and a one and a half year old Oh, yeah, so see you I'm living your future. Okay as far as this is all concerned because I have yeah a 11 almost 12 year old and a seven year old And that I hear they don't get any Less demanding of your time even when they get older and that's really what I just want them to do I want them to get to a point where they're just independent like it's just not Hey dad every three point five seconds. It's just you know Hey, you know what dad? I'm gonna do my own thing for the next hour. It's like hey, man That's cool because your dad would like to Uh watch mr. Big on uh his pvm, you know, uh your dad would like to I don't know watch television Watch the sport. Well, that reminds me. There's uh, there's a basketball game on do you have that in your browser that you've uh pulled up at the pirates Your your no no Because I've got so see I've got like so many windows open. I'm afraid I'm gonna kick off something And and squirrel it away and I'm already scared enough that your little One 16th of a cube of mr. Big. Oh my gonna get you a spike. Oh, I don't want to get me. No, I'm just kidding. They won't see that Uh, this is the this is the solo right here. Look at that. Yeah, but that's roger. That's a great great CRT you got. I mean I saw the post you made Um, I was actually out of town last weekend Uh, yeah, what are you doing? Well, I was laughing with Lewis. I was Going to the lake house. So I my My mom and stepfather own a nice lake house Two hours from where I live here But when I was in Tennessee, it was like eight hours from us, right? So we always meet them there To just see them with like our kids and it's great. It's right on the lake, you know, you go out riding boats Fishing the kids. It's at least something to do Um, so that's where I was and then I was like, yeah, I saw I was sporadically getting Your messages and updates and I saw That you got that from was it a recycler? Yeah, it was a university surplus and what blew me away was university surplus is like Eight years ago. It was a good place to get You know some some old analog AV equipment like like your stuff like your tectronic stuff you just got, right? It was from the What was that? Pensacola Community college junior college, whatever the hell it was. There's so many things that are from universities Well, right, but but that's the thing is like it was all gone Well over five years ago, right like because our community pretty much picked those places clean Uh and got these things for a song. Well now these people are starting to get wise Well, they are getting wise. They know what they have, you know, pardon the The phrase and and they're yeah, they're listing some of the stuff for for pretty high dollar amounts, but Still a lot less than you'd pay, you know, like on ebay or uh on craigslist or facebook marketplace Although, I don't know if you saw what I posted today. Did you see that 20? M2 mdu that I posted. Yeah, some some some dude in chicago was selling it for 400 bucks And the thing was pristine. I mean it had the it had the um You know, the the the spill guards, uh still intact. I mean it looked Pure white. I mean it wasn't yellowed at all. No dirt that I could see all the decals all the state The mdu yeah, the medical one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it it was pristine and uh You know, if I wasn't five hours away, I Right, it's that are dead. Oh, I know that's that happens to me a lot That's because at that at that price. I mean for me in my business at that price. That's all day by Oh, yeah, you know, like last month I bought And I don't care about really telling people this because I charge the same thing If you're gonna buy a pvm that's refurbished It's based on how much that pvm is plus the fee that you would pay me You know to service it now but um Yeah, those You know, I I bought three pvms and they were 14 inches and they were like $1,250 after everything paid up For three of them shipped So anytime like if there's a big one like that, those are so much harder to find now They really are. Yeah, I mean even how much that's what I'm saying like a good 20 the the m The the 800 line count tubes are Good ones of those are getting harder to find Oh, yeah. Yeah, I um I the only I love mine by 42 q I do I love it a lot, but It would have to take something like an m4 or like an l4 l5 where I'd be like, okay. All right. I'll I'll roll the dice Why not let's check it out And uh, but just right out like right out the gate. I thought this thing. Um It's pretty good. It's not. I mean it still needs some some calibration um The big thing for me and I you know, maybe you could help me out with this, but when I the guy that um So I walk. Yeah, I didn't tell you about this. So I I walk in there And um, and the reason I found out about it is because they message the guy that worked there messaged me about it And was like, hey, we've got an m4 here. Um, would you be interested in my fuck? Yeah, I'd be interested so the one they had um, the geometry was awful um, and they were running He they didn't have like a genesis or a mister or anything back there, but they did have the 240p test suite and they were running it through uh A genesis core on retro arch So you couldn't I in and maybe somebody could help me out with this Um, but I don't think retro arch can actually give you 240p I think the best you can get off that is 480i So he was running retro arch with 480i 240p test suite. So it looked off, but it was somewhat familiar to me. So that's good right there. This is have you done any adjusting to it yet? I've done nothing. I've done. Wow. Absolutely. This is this is the way I got it. I've done nothing. I've done absolutely I haven't had time. I haven't had time. Yeah, so but so the first one they show me That they told me about they're like Well, we've got this one and it had a pin cushion issue I showed you a picture of that one. Yes Pin cushion issue. It had like a purity issue here in the corner And I was like, well, you know, all that stuff's fixable. I'm not too concerned all about that But the big thing for me and I don't know maybe this is like educational for for some of your viewers, but um You know The first thing I wanted to look at were the color bars because that's great right there They're all they're all the way down to the zero. They don't they're down to the zero That's that's yeah, they're down They're down to the zero so once well, but this was on this is the second one I looked at the first one I looked at It was that far that was I was like that's what I saw this what I was like. Is that the same thing? What are you doing? Is that the same thing? No, no, so it's funny. So so the guy who runs the shop, um And it's a huge warehouse. I mean, it's it's probably Oh, I don't know, uh like two football fields. I mean, it's a huge warehouse. They got everything. They got office equipment. They've got Cars they've got farmer, you know because this university it's got a big agricultural studies program They've got farm equipment. They've got mechanical equipment and just one little section is their av stuff So the guy who kind of knows the av stuff he comes by and he's like, hey, yeah, you're looking at this one How's that and he and he's like I'll introduce you to uh Uh to our tech in the back and and I get to talking to this guy and he knows all about the 240p test suite And he's like, oh yeah, check out all this stuff. I got he's got all these old macintosh computers Like he's got a mac classic. He's got a uh a next desktop if you're familiar with that Um pristine condition that he got from some like, you know art lab that they had at the university 20 years ago so I'm pulling up this one and the color bars were like to five and I was like, boy, I don't know. That's not a very healthy tube That's that's pretty worn. Um, I mean I I The you know my guy and and he's like, so who do you have that services all this and I said, well, it's retro tech He goes, oh retro tech. I watch his shit all the time. He's great. I'm like, really? Okay I'm like, well, just see he and I just getting bombed one One friday night talking about neo geo and god knows what and uh, he's like, no, I miss that one but but he told me how to recap the you know, and he's going on and on and uh So the so the guy comes around the corner and he's like, um, you know what actually roger we got We've got another m4 that we found you want to take a look at this one? I'm like, yeah, sure set it up So we put it up and it was this one and it was I mean It was super healthy. I mean it looks really really nice. It's awesome It could use um, it could use a little bit of color calibration, but otherwise What what years? Uh, 2001. Oh, yes That's even better anything because You can get those from Man's I I don't know you may be able to find one from like 97. So That's a big difference right there You know four years I was hoping so because I well the big knocks on that on the m's is it's their, um It's their power supplies and it's it's pretty faulty that that pretty much can be there's there's some things It's really no see the m series has uh, which I've done this a hundred times the uh It has a vertical blanking problem Where the capacitors that are on the board? Don't last long enough. They're out of there. They were spec'd for something But it turns out they needed to be a little bit different So those will fail And if those fail it causes a problem where lines droop in that the rgb You know if you put that in under scan or what wait widescreen mode Yeah, sure And you yeah press Do you wait widescreen do you see the red green blue lines above the 240p test suite really tiny? No, put on the specs old timer Sorry. Oh, yeah, I do now. I do now. I got my glasses right right. So Thank you If anybody in the stream could say see those your eyesight are better than Rogers Okay, if you could see it from your screen. Listen, man. I turn in a month. I turned 40 Say you're an 83 guy like me that makes a lot of sense. I turn I turn 40 also this year later Okay, okay. Well, that's I didn't realize I was older than you. That's uh Depressing well, louis. Well, no, louis has got us all be yeah Well, so those those red gradient blue lines will actually droop into the regular screen And okay, got it then once they droop to a point like they fail And then the screen will fail and that It leaves us live open voltage circuit that can go and short the flyback So if you get to the point where it shorts it all out, it will blow the monitor All to bits for the most part uh, so The thing is is if that ever droops into the view you do it But it's like if you come and got hey, if you I know a guy, yeah, you come back to the guy We'll take care of you. We'll get all that We'll get all that like preventively maintained. That's that's one of those things you got to do it ahead of time The the thing for me was you know what And and I guess this is just a good question for anybody who's you know, they see a listing on facebook or Craigslist or you find some local in ebay What are the big things you're looking for that are just Just red flags just things that are not correctable, you know, and you know for me it was like How does the tube look is there any burn in uh, are there any scratches? Because burn in you can't do anything with right so it's You know and what what's the health of the tube look like and and you know red is usually the the telltale sign, right? so um Yeah, a lot of the stuff that I was seeing like the pin cushion and all the purity issue. I was like whatever that's not It's not a big deal. But yeah, but this one looks this the the red flag stuff wasn't there So I was like sure i'll spend the money one out. I'll bring it back and um And they had other stuff they had they did steve. They they had uh, they had three or four m2s They had a um, they had a 1954 they had uh 53 sorry they had a um They had uh, oh they had a dude they had a um Let me pull up the model number. They had a jvc Oh, it was so pissed they had a jvc tm h 15 which is a uh Uh, it's a 15 inch cg 750 line. You want it and it it had uh It had s video and composite, but it's expandable. You get an rgb slot and put it in Yeah, I can look you up with one of those Well, dude, so they were asking unless you how much they want for 150 bucks what? All right, so you go buy me that one. No, no, no, no, no, so here's the thing So no, so here's the thing so I see this and I flip out You know, I'm like holy shit. Of course. I'm gonna get this so I grab it I put it on my and I had like dude. I had like a little card I had like a little metal card. I was wheeling around the but I was going shopping, right? I'm like you're like the Costco Of electronics stuff that you actually want you like most of the time when they're shopping and it's like never anything I want No, no, it's like fucking office chairs, you know, like this is nothing But no, this is like oh, here's an extra on switch. Cool. All right. I'll just take that Oh $25. Okay, cool. Of course, you know So you was like wait till wait till you graduate from Cart guys and then you become the palette guy Where you like they give you they're like, hey, how do I get a deal for a palette? Then they just start stacking the palette That's what I felt like like I could I could have shot I mean they had they even had like some really cool consumer sets like they had Like little 12 inch trinitrons Oh, gosh that were like for that were like designed for kitchens and shit But they still had component inputs on them and I'm like this is yeah It was awesome. And I mean they wanted like 70 bucks for that Like I mean this is so unusual Of course, I'll take it. Then they had like the big Toshiba's you just did your live stream on they had that for like 40 bucks Okay, I mean, you know, I could have if I had my wife's truck. I probably would have it's probably a good thing I didn't oh my gosh A lot of stuff But um, she she she she probably you know left you with the truck. Oh, yeah Big gone Well, it's funny because she she she didn't know I was going she didn't know I was going And I because I just left the office like I got the message from this guy's like, hey We got this you want it. I'm like, yeah And I'm like, what am I doing? I don't have anything on the calendar. All right, let's go and I just told my assistant I'm like I'm running an errand left I left and I'm driving and it was like a good God 45 50 minute drive for me and uh And I'm there for like an hour and a half just shooting the breeze with this guy and and you know going through all the I mean because they had so much stuff And I'm on my way back and my wife calls and it's like A little after five usually I'm usually I'm in the office till like six and She could she could tell I'm in the car. She's like, oh, you're in the car Like, yeah, I'm in the car. She's like, what are you doing in the car? And I'm like, uh Well, she goes is everything okay, and I'm like everything's great I told her the whole story and she's like, I can't believe you drove out all that way just to get a stupid tv And I'm like, yeah, I did Of course I did Hey, that's awesome Come on So anyway, I so this jvc this little jvc Uh 150 bucks I bought it. Oh you did and I did but so here's the thing I'm inside this warehouse And they've just got overhead lights and I'm looking at it and and those jvc So you you have one so they've got the standby switch They've got a power switch in the front Then they got a main power switch in the back But the switch in the front, you know, if you got it racked you could you could turn it on and off that way That switch was missing But I was like, well, they still got the switch in the back. That's cool. Whatever. I don't care So I took it and I put it in my trunk And because I was out in the natural light I could see the screen had so much burn in along the bottom and at the top And I could tell they were using this thing for like a security like no, it was a call center It was like it said like it was like, uh, telephone line one call and and that was burned into the screen So I I brought it back and like guys, I'm sorry. I can't take it. Oh, yeah, that burn is bad. Okay Oh, they let you take it back. Yeah, they let me take it back. You have they were like, well, you haven't left yet So oh, okay well, so I don't want to I don't want to let you know I love listening to these glory stories And um, it's almost arousing me roger.

You definitely see those You need to get some glad I'm just going to glasses here on out. That's fine. Just keep them on. It doesn't it doesn't It makes you look a little bit good. It makes it look better a little bit good. Yeah Smarter that's a that's a technical term a little bit good a little bit good. See that's a whiskey turn So that's so that you know, it's funny. You bring that up because uh, well, Keith, right? You're cheating on me with keep right there. Keep rainy, huh? Well, not yet. I mean not yet hasn't happened It's just we're thinking about cheating on you. That's no that's a good thing. So Keith Keith Is an expert at like color calibration Yeah, but he doesn't want to do what I do and like I don't really I'm not good at all what he does It's really a good thing. Actually, he's like we both talked about it I'm I'm the guy who get in there and like change out all your guts And let you go do whatever you want with it and like Keith's the guy who can make your set look Phenomenal and spend just as much time as I do making it like pop Right. I mean because I talked to Keith and Keith's like oh, yeah Well, this is you got to set the white balance doing this and you got to do and I'm like What? Okay Is it gonna look you like perfectly calibrated? That's all I really care about, you know But keep yeah, he's he knows his shit. I mean he really does Um That's it, but I don't care who works on it Just I just if I if I get this thing to the point where it's perfect And then I go and then I look at the 42 q and I'm like All right, listen, we've had a nice marriage. Okay, you know, we had a couple kids You know, it's been a great run, but look at this trophy wife, you know like come on it's This was a big picture set up quite well where I'm not even getting like any bumps on your You're not scrolling bad or anything. It's good. It looks good. This is yeah, this is I noticed that too just Even just take an iPhone pictures with it. Um, you know, it's Really, it's it's pretty easy to photograph. Yeah But the 42 q was as well, I mean that's a really easy one But so this new one I just got this is my my penny pvm. Yeah That thing It these two it's hard to say that these are both Video monitors. Yeah, it is like a plastic Yeah, it's it's like, okay, they say it's a pvm, but I'm looking at it. It doesn't look like It's a good monitor. It's fine. I mean it looks like it looks like a really really good consumer set is what it looks like Right. Yeah, you know, and that's it's the end. There's an even lower end one of those Mm-hmm. So you can imagine how bad that one looks Well, yeah, I mean they've got the because they've got that what the n5 and that's there's no rgb in that one, right? It's yeah, that one's pretty Yeah, it's just the there's nothing in it. It's literally like a inside of a cheap Sony Uh consumer set just has the input for or just a little bit better. I don't know. I'm really confused It's like a good way for them to sell something I guess I bet it must cost him nothing to make those. They probably sold them. Oh, I know made like four times five times Maybe ten times on that one. I mean, I imagine they were just security applications. I'm sure that's all it was That we're using those things But I mean, it's a it's a fine monitor. Don't get me wrong. It is it's it's perfectly perfectly good monitor It's just I had it set up next to this thing And I was just looking at them side by side like these are two different planets apart In sharpness and quality. It's just not even close Yeah, um, but that it cost me a penny. What the fuck? I don't care. No, I yeah Hey, I'd buy those for penny and I'd I'd have my house built of an igloo of them Of n6. Yes n6 is only that would be so sexy. So Yeah, I got a pvm Here with me and it's one that I bought like a couple months back and just Set on the shelf It's like I need that price is right grabbed it and then tested just For God even had sometimes because it's a little it's a little fella It's a little It's a cutie. What is that? Is that a is that a 42? This one is the real good one. It's the nine l3 I believe in l3 find you something with it. I'll move around the camera, but It's it's got like a one of roger a scumblower cards in it for Rgb Scarts. Oh, that's right. You need you need the rgb card. Yeah, he's giving me Let me see if I can move that around a little bit So yeah, here's the monitor the back of it. This is A nine l2 excuse me So it doesn't have it's like your jvc. It doesn't have a Rgb card it has s video composite only and then it has A portable Battery you can put in this thing and there's an aftermarket one of these on ebay burn on me amazon flight 90 bucks And you can get a battery a new battery and it'll last for like two or three hours on battery power And it just slides in the back of this So it's got because you can run it straight from 12 volt to dc. It's it's got a bunch of power Is that is it the it's not the same battery that's in the The 42s and the 44s is it the wider one? No, no, this is different. Okay, that's that's all okay. Yeah This one is the same. It's in the bvm selected nine. Oh cool. Okay, but yeah, so this this card Rogers or Martin has sent me like 10 of these cards over the years And so this one's just in there and it's scart. You just plug your console straight in there and Yeah, it's pretty nice. Uh, the reason this one is so cool is it's really one of the only pvms that's in this size that has First off, it has a little bit different. Look, you'll notice the pool tabs are like Weird they're like Bezzled over they're not actual pull tabs like the others, but it also has The card slot and it has an on-screen menu. So like the other eight inch older ones Do not have any on-screen menus right at all. Right. So That's the reason I really wanted that there's an l3 Um, I I haven't done anything even a video of course on I've barely looked at it But I've got Something that's supposed to be cool for these and that's this that came in the mail too. Oh, yeah smoke monster was showing those off. Yeah, he's been posting them and I bought one not too long ago. So I thought we could mess with that a little bit But Just to tease that a little bit. We're not gonna we'll we'll get to that in a minute Anybody who just saw that we'll we'll mess with it and see how it sets up here but We need to Spend I mean, it's been a good 38 minutes.

It's metal. Yeah, it's steel. It's heavy duty What's this thing so it's only looks like it's about three pieces Whoops All right, I just dropped the box Well somebody posted I don't know who was um Was it you or somebody else asked them if if you put two of those things together Could you prop up a 14? Yeah, it's me. I don't know I guess that I'll be able to tell that now because I could measure this thing. It looks like it would be one I think I have four little screws here Don't you love stuff like this? It just comes. It doesn't have any What's that design that's designed for like a laptop or something I guess it is it does have instructions under the shipping label Thank you amazon It's all in like open english anyways from the yeah Factory one plus two plus three plus four is what it says So let's just make sure Um, I'm aiming this the right way Yeah, okay, thankfully it's It's pretty much only gonna go in one way So we'll get this together and see how because that would be nice. It will literally Prop it up just to be in the scene now so That'll replace your uh Little oev on the medical cart there. That's not replacing anything. It'll go in my wall of junk It never does anything I got p o 17 requested alien soldier, so I'll uh I'll uh indulge there. Uh, I can't remember I did something with that. I think because I remember I had to patch it You did oh your What cart? Yeah, there we go 60 Hertz. Yeah, well, um, you know because it's a pal only release So, uh, you had to you had to patch it for uh ntsc I'm running you have a do you have a mega everdrive pro or uh, no, I just have the very first old school one I uh I didn't get that one. You know what I um I tried out was the which I posted a picture of this Ninja turtles On the mister the baby. How is the early version? Ada? Yeah, you got the beta. How was it running? So, uh, it was interesting I posted about it in my discord Which shout out to anybody who's in the discord because that means you only get in there if you're on the patreon, so you can't Anyway, that's that's some that's you are but you're not even on discord probably that much I'm in your patreon. I'm in your patreon. I know that's what I'm saying. You could go in there But anyway, so I'm posting in there about getting it set up on my Mr. Cade The day it's the beta has been released and uh, I got it up and running after I got some things fixed and It actually worked a lot better than I thought it would They're like on my mvs machine the arcade machine It looked great and like But it was interesting because I had some other patrons that Had issues with it like on their Interesting stuff like on their consumer crt's, you know Oh, really? But again, this is beta. So Everybody in my rooms are always like, look, it's beta. Some people won't it's funny Some people in there won't even try stuff that's in beta like they refuse to Even test it What kind of stuff are they reporting on the on the consumer side? Uh, the the color like the screen would look extremely dark and Said some pictures from that But that was one issue specifically like a jvcd series consumer set Um, but you never know you never know how people have stuff hooked up to right, right? Sure. So there's always that to uh put into consideration, but I think uh, I thought the game played great. I sat there with my daughter and played it um Played it with her and of course I forgot that You know the the way that that arcade board is set up Is It has four controllers on it Right So my mvs only has the first two controllers So I I didn't get this zip file that I need yet Where I can actually select turtles because now if I press start it's only let me be Michelangelo and all Michelangelo and uh, Leonardo for player one and two And uh, so you gotta you know Angel that I wonder I mean look at this thing. This thing is beautiful Roger. That's pretty that's pretty substantive Like look at that. You could like break through a window that you know, what do we talk about? What do we talk about like 10 pounds there? What are we talking about? It's pretty darn heavy, man I bet it's like it looks pretty heavy. Yeah, I mean it might and I don't know about 10 But maybe like eight somewhere around. Yeah, okay We could do some curls on that thing attach a pv Well, I like you could actually potentially even I like the little slots in it you can run I wonder yeah You run the cord through it that'd be kind of cool Uh, here we go So I can't even remember we're saying You're talking about ninja turtles. Yes ninja turtles. Yeah, that's the only thing is I there's a patch I have to put in there to fix that But it went really well And uh for me and also I finally did the in the hunt Game. Oh nice. And have you played that? Oh, that's awesome. I played on Saturn. Really? I've never played the actual arcade rom. I had never played any bit of it before seen it. Oh, it's awesome Yeah, oh, it's I mean the guys who made metal slot I mean it's I know but I just love the fact that I'd never heard of it And then it's out and now I'm like playing on it and I'm like whoa. So here we go Let's see this thing in action. Oh, that's nice. So there we go guys. Well We'll get you in the shot here Look at that. Now. Can you can you adjust the uh, this looks like it should be Look at that like it belongs in a showroom right there. That's perfect That's what I that's see that was my thing was I was like this is perfect for putting these on the retro tech convention table There you go or for my class or something, you know now. Can you can you tilt it? No, it's not tilting Well, okay, it does something. I think you can I think you can tilt that No, I think you can make it taller. Oh, okay, let's see cool. Oh, no, maybe right. Let's see I'm unscrewing something Because I because smokes look like they were tilted a little bit. They did look I've got a screw down here that I'm loosening But I can't tell what it's doing yet. It's just coming out Because honestly, I never thought about getting a little nine inch like that until I saw those pictures And man, that would look cool on a bar or just like, you know on a desk those little things Yeah, maybe it doesn't see that's it It just stretches out it extends. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, let's see that It goes up another couple inches Gets a little bit bigger. That's what she said. That's right. That's what she said. That's right Michael Scott style Hey abes game and skates andrew davis Gamer james campbell's still here steven schneider still here. What's up guys? Give me a quick shot. Shout. I'll say your name like like the hat we were talking about the person who Cashed or stream. Oh that does not feel good. Look at that Look at that You know what that needs That I now hold on That is that's wobbly What that needs is better. Oh, yeah, one of those screws is like loosened already look at that Well worth that 30 bucks Yeah, it's worth 30 bucks till it breaks your pvm right exactly tube shatters into a million pieces I drop I dropped an eight inch pvm once coming back from a load like you had You you should you should be able to throw those down a flight of stairs and it should be okay, right? I mean that those are they hit two first. So The tube is busted, but Yeah, this I don't know man. It's like it's cross threaded so cheap. I'm probably gonna have to return it because the steel It's like Let's let's swap the screws and see if that matters Hey, I'm gonna see if anybody bought that MDU let's see It's still available It is still available. How has nobody bought that? That is pissing me off, man shit Well, so another one was uh This week. I told you I bought all those three pvms and then all of a sudden a 14 l five showed up Oh on eBay for I think it was $600 shipped What? Yeah, so I was like it had a gash on the screen, but those have a screen protector this Right screw is stripped You've already stripped that screw Can you lower it a little bit? Well, it's the screw that's because I swiped it had nothing to do with how how much you've Extended it. Oh, yeah, just I could lower it to probably be stable again. It's gonna be never Well, we don't I don't want it that high anyway. I really don't Mind it. See I'm also wondering if a 14 inch case can stand this thing just as it is good What's it it says on the box doesn't what it's rated for? That's fine And I don't mind I don't mind it all Uh Let's see about that You know what you need now underneath that it says it's made for oh it says look at that lcds and leds Could you imagine the audacity of them? It's rated for 33 pounds Uh, that's not yeah 14 inches what about 40 pounds? Yeah, they're 35 35 or 40 for that But look at that. How cool that is cool. Let's let's uh get that out. Let's look that's looks a little classy Let's get turned on You know what you need now you need that uh that rf modulator. That's what you need You need that red or an e-fit man. That's a little rfc My screen doesn't look as good as yours your cameras working better than mine is dude. This is just my macbook This is uh, it's doing what it should just mine is just gonna show you that Let's see. It looks really good though. This one That's what that's what it's uh 450 lines in those things You know, I'll have to check. I don't know what they don't know who is But it's either 450 or 250 But that's really sharp man. I like that. Yeah Yours is looking better though. No, I'm jealous bigger sharper All around better. I'm not gonna lie. It looks pretty phenomenal. It's um I you know, I was just like I'm gonna because I told you Mike I set it over to Mike Chi and and he's like, I don't know dude. You're gonna like 600 more. You're just gonna like 600 more 800 looks too much like a emulator. It just doesn't It's not what you're used to And I plugged it in and I I wrote Mike. I'm like, what are you fucking smoking dude?

It's the one that's the guy who's asking the question Asking the question. What's uh, what are we doing buying more crts? Sure. Yeah I don't know you said you didn't have a lot of memories. So yeah guys if you were well if you want to pop into the Chat and leave anything. Let us know we're so we want to go and take a minute to show Actually, let me let me adjust these tunes. I can they're like funky in my ear. I think that I'll turn him down a little bit uh The late great jerry springer Which he's actually wasn't he an attorney He was he was an attorney uh politician. That's right. Uh news anchor uh like actual legit journalists for a period of time and uh And then he started uh, he started his talk show and it was like a legit talk show like it was like a originally Yeah, like a donahue opera type. Yeah smoke monster just jumped in the chat. So we'll see what's up smoke, man We just we just put together the Little stand here. So yeah Just in time for you're just after that, but yeah Ask smoke smoke. Does yours tilt because we were trying to figure that out. I thought yours tilted. It looked like it did He probably hasn't no, I think it's just the way he has a good photograph Maybe it was just yeah, he's got a shot. Maybe but anyway. Yeah, so back to like Jerry here Good old Jerry springer. So he yeah, like we you were saying he was Oh, yeah, so it was like a legit show where they would actually show at first It was around there was so many other shows like donahue Yeah, and they talk about like actual pressing issues like homelessness and gun control and Sally Jesse Raphael Yeah, yeah, and then all of a sudden it was just like, you know If I would just get some white trash to kick the shit out of each other I could make a lot of money and then that's what it became and I mean that was it He said it didn't tilt his doesn't tilt. So yeah, oh it doesn't okay Optical illusion that I know Yeah, that was always the funniest Funniest part of this whole thing was how How it had become something so crazy and and I the so here's my big memories um When I lived I I went to a mid a campus called middle Tennessee State University Oh, oh, dude, that's where I graduated from hell. Yeah, and But they beat they beat Miami this year. Didn't yeah. Yeah, and then they lost to jmu here Can you believe that and jmu is like, but anyway, so I that's where I went to school and and I lived nearby in an apartment most of the time And so we'd we'd have these times where you know, you'd have these long blocks during the middle of the day Where you wouldn't have any class or anything to do and it'd be like middle of the day and this is um 2000 actually 2005 2004 And you go flip on the daytime tv catch you some mori povich murray And that was that was my favorite personally and then I doubt who the jack springer And then it got crazier when his security guy was out and Steve wilkos and yeah, and actually funny enough Uh, I remember that I used to watch that show on a tv very similar To the ones we you and I were talking about the one I have a video coming on Like next week is this tosheba uh flat screen 2005 And I believe this was like a 27 or maybe bigger and I want to say it was a uh It wasn't a sony, you know, it was one of the others I can't remember which one it could have been a tosheba just like this one It wasn't mine. It was my roommates, but that's where I would watch the jerry springer show first Or most of the time And I do have some memories prior to that of like When I was in high school and it came on for like the first time like you're saying it got raunchy for the first time right and Man that was like the same age where all I was trying to do was try to find like dirty magazines That's all it was man. It was just Like I don't get me wrong. I did watch it because you know, I was Same age as me. Yeah, and like that was the thing to watch, you know, you your buddies would come over You'd have a sleepover you'd fucking play, you know playstation or whatever on your and uh, and then For me like, yeah, I would run during the day, but then they would also run it Oh, yes, you're right at night. They would do like a Yeah, it was on at like 11 30 or midnight at the rerun and it was on I can't remember if it was on like wgn chicago Uh, because I grew up in indiana and we had wgn. I think a lot of people do yeah, you still get it all over the place But yeah, because you could watch cubs games wherever, um, but uh, we would watch it there and it It was so contrived right it was kind of just like It was just like watching wrestling. It's like everybody knows the gimmick every we're all in on it. It's just I get it I'm just gonna check my IQ at the door. Just fucking entertain me. Okay, just Just entertain me for 30 minutes and it Yeah, it did like it just it was just mindless television and It was really entertaining. Well, I think it's a good It's a good barometer for like the fall or the downfall of like western culture kind of thing where Many people know it's trashed many people are in on the game a lot of it's Staged by people without even like they're going on with a plan or whatever, but at the same time It's it's something that totally doesn't work anymore Right because the internet has changed everything leveled the game that kind of entertainment just wouldn't work anymore but for the time It was groundbreaking and revolutionary to have just these crazy things In the middle of the daytime television, I think I think that was the big part about it Not so much that there was this crazy stuff happening, but it was being able to be pushed Um in the middle of the day Oh, yeah Yeah, that that's unheard of. I mean that was just the 90s though the 90 if you think about the 90s just What was acceptable, you know in the decade prior or what wasn't acceptable Uh now all of a sudden things like jerry springer is just like It's a it's a joke almost anymore. Yeah now now it just becomes part of american culture. And I remember it was just so It was just so uh controversial at the time and and controversial was a good thing Like you know like howard stern was controversial at the time and and then you look back at it now And it's like really what what's the big deal? Um, but I don't know man. I watched an episode. So I knew you were going to be talking about jerry springer So I was like, all right, let me let me watch some jerry springer clips. You did. I did. Yeah So I went on youtube and it was like it was just like They're they're all the same episode, right? It was all the same crap. It's just different characters Yeah, so this this one. It's it's some it's some uh single mom. She's you know 1920 And she's living with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's family and her boyfriend is a loser He's unemployed He just lays around the couch all day drinks beer And I don't know where he goes at night But he's gone and he says he's just hanging out with his friends, but I know where he's at He's at his sister's house and he's fucking his sister and all the crowds like Oh It's like what you know, it's always just too much right, you know, yeah, yeah Here's the realm of Possible, okay, maybe I believe you then it's like and he's fucking his sister. It's like wait. No. No, he's not come on And then and then and of course jerry's like, well, uh, let's ask his sister about that. Here she is And then she comes out and then of course they say What are you doing bitch? What are you doing your fuck you bitch? And then it was just it was they were It was literally just the Back of the day the old beep sound over their cursing. Oh, yeah, like 90% of the episode Yeah, and then they bring out the boyfriend and the Steve Wilcox. Yeah, there's steves there He's always like getting the lock and stuff and you know getting tackled See that's yeah, that that's when the springer show was just out of control I had a I had a fraternity brother actually went on it Uh, because because so oh, we're in my alma mater. Yeah, I'm we're I don't know if they want me showing Yeah, I went to Valparaiso. So and that's right outside Chicago. So where it was filmed. They filmed it at Harpo studios, um Oprah's studios there. So Um, so they went over there Uh, this is like right around that same time you're describing like 2005 2006 ish and uh We had a guy in our in our house that in our fraternity house. His name was his tuba And he was a big dude. He was a he was a uh a big fat jovial guy, right and that particular episode was like It was like my mom is a secret stripper or something like that and they had the stripper pull out and you know Same type of thing like, you know, the sun's like, I don't know where my mom is and then all of a sudden she comes out in her stripper gear and the whole crowd loses their shit and uh So this guy stands up to ask a question And like I said, he's a big guy. He's like six four 300 plus bills he's got big boobs and a big gut and All of a sudden everybody just starts chanting take it off. Take it off. So this guy takes off the shirt And then they're like, yeah, and he's doing a truffle shuffle They were telling him to do a truffle shuffle. So he did it And then someone some producer's like get on the pole get on the pole So this big So this guy comes running up and he starts dancing on the stripper pole with his shirt off And his his man boobs and everything and the crowd's losing their mind and I'm just like Oh my god, this is un but that was jerry springer. That was that was jerry springer, man All right, well, we got a five dollar super chat from james boon. Thank you james Are there any accessories I should look for when picking up a medical monitor? Picking up an oe v and they possibly have the cart for sale too. Oh get the set get I say if you want a cart then get the cart uh That one cart that I've shown a few times with my Well, I really can hold any 13 monitor That's only one I ever saw like it and I Grabbed it whenever I went to the place they had attached. I said, what do you deal with that cart? Like you had I was like throw it in mine. I didn't care what they said They usually would say like ten dollars. That's okay. And you could say 150 I would have said, okay, but Thankfully they weren't like that. But yeah, I would say that You know If there's some kind of a lot of times there will be some kind of like maybe vcr attached to that So if you're looking for a good vcr Uh or something like that there might be one of those attached also See if you if you're going to a place like we're talking about see if they'll throw in the cables A lot of times there'll be a bunch of bnc cables with that stuff And those are like the ones they'll still have on there are going to be like the real high-end ones So like those will cost you like 25 dollars a piece If you were to buy them if they leave them on there with them. So yeah I like to do the old thing if they're trying to get rid of it I'll just take the whole thing and then get rid of the stuff that you don't need if if they uh Later on if you don't actually need it like take it all and if it's a place that wants to get rid of stuff They like to get rid of more Yeah, they uh They did that with me too. They I they threw out a bunch of power cables and um They they even gave me like the rack mounts and shit that of course i'm not going to use you know, but uh, I don't know It's cool to have it I guess Yeah, it's I mean Like you said you take it Maybe use it. Maybe you don't But it's Sorry, try to try to put on some some new uh, no do it a little thunder force three. So there we go. Yeah the Jerry springer was that and then there was also the interesting thing where Again, this is a age. I told you I was trying to get new d magazines. So I remember this vividly There was this like you'd watch springer and they'd have these infomercials about the uncensored vhs tape right By the uncensored vhs tape and there was always this chick in like a green shirt she flashed her boobs It would say censored, but it would say if you buy it. It's uncensored And so I just remember Like being at my buddy's house like you were talking about and one of them bought the tape, right? They paid like 49 95 for the it was it was like 50 For the uncensored cherry springer episodes I mean Kids today with internet, you know internet porn. They're just like you would spend how much for what? Oh my goodness Yeah, so you it was the same infomercial like every time Just blasted this thing and no it would it would come on right after the uh, it would be like during the commercial breaks for jerry springer It'd be all right. Well, yeah, but then they'd run like the girls gone wild. Oh girls come on infomercial to That would run too. So girls gone wild Did you ever see that thing? Sorry, did you ever see that thing that went viral? last year It was a uh, it was a house that was put on the market And I it was out in the middle of nowhere and it when you went outside from the outside It just looked like a it just looked like a just a random two-story home with a few additions put on it And then when you would go inside turns out it was like a massive warehouse for like an online ebay resale shop And you could like tour through the entire house And it had Steve it had the world's largest collection of just shit just random movies CDs toys tables Little knickknacks Just shit shit that like even Goodwill would get rid of and it would all end up at this house And they would just list it on ebay. Well if you were to go through this house And you could scroll I sat there and did it and I scrolled through this whole house for like 45 minutes And I still didn't get to every room of all the shit they had. You were in this house Well, yeah, you could do it. You could do the online tour online listing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you could do it online Yeah, come on Uh, you could do it online and so you're scrolling through it and they had like video games here and there and shit You're like, oh, that's kind of cool Well one of the rooms like in the the it had like two basements It had like one basement and another level down Once you get to the bottom bottom level like right in the center You go inside And it is just covered wall to wall With those girls gone wild vhs tapes and you're Like they had every volume like volume 38 like they had all of them everywhere. My goodness. It's what an awful thing I mean It got to be so fun because people are like, oh, did you find the girls gone wild room yet? Did you find it? Did you find it? No I don't know. Am I like anybody else in the chat do that last year? It was Oh, I didn't know in viral. That's awesome Yeah, so I uh I remember So when I but I told you I went to mtsu, but my first college I actually transferred I went to western kentucky University out of school toppers hill toppers right, so That's the school I went to right out of high school and I was born in august and I was So I graduated high school when I was still 17 Right, and I was still 17 all the way up till just about I was the youngest person in my grade Up till I went to school. I literally turned 18 And then the next week I went off to western kentucky because I did this thing which was This was the most ridiculous if anybody sent a kid to college Do not do this or do if you want them to just party their brains out So there was this thing where we were living in the dorms because it's the first you're a freshman and You could go move in on campus A week before campus started like and meet people And then there were no classes And there were these stupid mixers they try to put on for people and I never forget that because I went and the only other people that were on campus were like athletes And in my dorm my neighbors were these swimmers And they were going to these insane parties like most insane They were like the craziest things I'd ever seen and they went the first night like I show up Like my mom's crying dropping me off in the dorm rooms Oh, my sweet little retro steve going to college Maybe retro like literally just dropping me off a couple hours earlier and I promise is I'll get back to a girls gone wild thing So she drops me off my I'm in there and I'm like, what the hell am I gonna do here? My roommate is like my best friend from high school, but he's got a girlfriend He's not done this thing that I'm doing. I'm there and earlier, you know early So I'm by myself the two guys next door again were the swimmers So they they came in and they were like, oh man, what's up? And I was like, hey, dude, how's it going? And they were like, oh cool, man You seem cool and just talked, you know and They were like we're swimmers and we're going to meet the rest of our swim team And uh, we'll see you later and I was like, damn, I wish I was going with them, you know, right? Like I wish I was cool. I didn't have anything to do. I don't have any friends. So I was like, shit. I've got to go I've got to go to the stupid like bowling alley on campus and do the mixer thing that they're doing I thought they'll do right. I mean, this is like free everything. There's no phones. There's no cell phones shit so Anyway, I'm going around I'm going to this thing and I meet I meet this girl and she's kind of cute, right? And I'm like, you know, this girl ain't too bad looking. I get her like dorm number Then you'd give somebody a dorm number, you know, because of a dial of the dorm I never called her But I'll be damned if I didn't see some girls gone wild tape And that freaking girl was one of the girls on the tape Where she had gone that year on spring break like this was a year after that She had gone on spring break that year and she was in like one of those tapes And I was like, holy shit. And I was like, that is that fucking girl that I talked to you at the mixer Hang on the first time in campus. Now, when did you connect the dots? How far removed from that? It wasn't that far off because I would have forgotten about her pretty clearly So it was within a month or two like right within a month. So you were still at western kentucky Like I was like what did you ever open to her again? No, that was the problem. So here's the thing That's all happened, right? Oh shit Daytona 99. I know you This all So that's the first night, right? And I'm like, oh, this girl's maybe she's cool, right? So I actually go back to the to the dorm room and I'm there and I'm just sitting there And I'll be damned if the two swim guys swimmer guys come in drunk as shit You know just acting crazy and I'm like, what the hell these guys had the time of their lives And they're like, ah and at this time Everybody called me my my middle name, which is elwood Like the blues brothers. So of course elwood. What's up? And that's I was like, yeah, that's my name. Go sure. I'll go with it and uh So they're like, don't worry elwood. We talked to all the frickin All the seniors and they said we could bring you to the parties And I was like, are you freaking kidding me, man? They're like, yeah, dude, don't worry about it. We'll go on tomorrow night and every night the rest of this week it's only like up the hill at the swim seniors house and I mean I was the next I was so fucking man. I couldn't go to bed. I was so excited, right? I was like, I didn't give a shit about the the girls and the stupid mixers or nothing at this point I'm like, I'm going to a real college party And like so the next day I finally get together and I'm like, dudes, when we going when we going, you know Like don't worry, man. They've got beer there. Just bring five bucks You know so you could get a cup And I'm like, hell yeah And so we go and I'm like walking up this hill Which is that's all this thing is why I throw the hill toppers. It's literally the doors at the bottom of the hill You go up to the top of the hill and then like you go down the hill a little bit more to get to the houses So You know go to these party houses and and it's I go in there and it's nuts. It's like Fucking animal house, but it's more insane because A swim team is co-ed so you had just as many crazy ass girls as guys at these parties and There was a chick at this party Just running around and I had actually seen her in orientation and thought she was kind of cute and she runs up and just starts Like I didn't say a damn worked her I walk in and she runs up and just starts pissing me right and I'm like what the And so I'm like what and no shit Roger I'm like, where'd that girl go and the next thing I know I like five minutes later I go and I find her puking in the toilet. Of course. Yeah That's that's the effect you have on women's that's uh, you know It's Puking her brains out And I was like I finally I I'm like I'm going meeting these these other two swimmer buddies next door and I'm like dudes This is the fucking craziest stuff. I've ever seen in my life And I'm like this girl just kissed me and it threw up And then they were like which girl is it and I was like it's that woman with the dark hair You mean they were like that one and she had come out of the bathroom and she was making out with some other dude Oh god She was making out with some other guy Five minutes later and I just started laughing like I just remember looking and watching and just busting out laughing and The next thing I know it I meet these two guys that were Soft moors and they were from England and they were there on scholarship to swim And they were the craziest bastards I'd ever met in my life. They were in there with their English accents and I was like And you know the thing about running into swimmers everybody's like chiseled looks like greek olympians They're like six foot five And so they all look like the coolest most intriguing physical specimen of a person And so you're like, oh, yeah, look at me. I'm steve. I look pretty good, right? and No, but so you So anyway, I met these English guys and they're like one guy. He's like, ah Your elbow. Huh come in here and he opens the refrigerator and we pull out He grabs the carton of eggs Pulls out the carton eggs and he cracks an egg open and just eats it And then Looks at me and says, ah, what do you think of that and then I don't know what the hell got over to me I grabbed an egg and I did the same Steve Steve Same thing right next to him And so that we became pretty good buddies Me and the English guys God, so uh, so you flunked out of western kentucky is what you're telling me. That's no Hey the the roger the funniest part about the whole thing was is So that was like orientation week in the second night, right so Everybody on the swim team started coming to these parties and I was at every party from that night forward Like I made friends with all the seniors like half of them Really good friends and they they were like, yeah, yeah, this dude's crooked. Awesome. You know, we're goofy And so I I would go to I went to every party And since there were like red shirts Red shirt athletes and since a swim team had 80 athletes right There was only like four people that didn't know I was on like wasn't a swimmer Oh, that's funny. Like the coaches on the coaching staff actually knew me and There was not like people didn't know that I wasn't a swimmer until This is good until I got invited to like this lake house with only the swim team And we all got in the lake and had to swim somewhere every person What's wrong with elwood I thought he ran the medley relay man. What the fuck that's exactly what they said I thought he swam the mile because nobody ever hung out like watch the mile swimmers right And I was like no I go like five feet and I'm done That's a good story Yeah, sorry. I went on from like that's that's a good. No, I think I was like 15 minutes of me just talking No, that was a good. Yeah, it was worth it though. That's a good story So what happened you so did the it's kind of like that episode of seinfeld where kramer starts working at that place And he doesn't actually work there and then they fire him and he's like, well, I don't actually work here Yeah, no, no, they never saw what happened to the coaches were just like get the fuck out of here Like oh no, no, there was never that moment. They loved me like they accepted me like I was literally One of their brothers or sisters or whatever they like I was I was in deep with them like You couldn't mess with me at western. I never like the only reason I switched from western to middle tennessee was to go after a different degree which doesn't matter anymore, but No, when I was there Yeah, I don't know I if I had stayed I I could have been it was something there's but it was a weird thing. I don't know This was a weird time in my life where I felt like I could go anywhere and conquer anything And I was like, oh two years at western to cut katucky and I'm king of this place I'm going somewhere else and it's just stupid So how did middle tennessee? Where is middle tennessee? That's in the middle of tennessee Right in the middle. I appreciate that. Yeah, it really is. It's uh It's a city called murphy's burrow Murphy's burrow. Okay. I did uh My wife and I rented out a farmhouse. They we did like an air bnb and um It was the name of that town cookville. Yeah, and I'm I'm trying to think of what college was right there I thought it was tennessee tech tennessee tech Okay Got it. Yeah, I love tennessee if I uh If I if I had my druthers and I didn't have to if I could just retire I'd probably just get a Cool house somewhere outside of nashville and just because they you know what because I like to play golf And they got really good golf in tennessee. Um, it's a lot of golf courses. You know, it's hot down there though, right? Yeah, but you could play golf year-round, but it's not like It's not like florida or georgia hot. It's in georgia hot. Oh god bless. I don't mean it gets hot in michigan Dude, it's gonna be 86 this weekend. All right. So it gets like it gets hot everywhere It's fucking global warming whatever but like at least I could play golf You know four seasons out of the year In tennessee you really I mean so you I didn't realize so I was telling that I thought it always was corbin bernson from Yeah Why can't I even think of that kevin cost major league major or no, I know major league kevin coster No, but is that not him? No. No. No. Yeah, that is no charlie sheen I don't even know it's tom it's tom berenger. I've got that movie on laser disc Dude, it's the greatest The only argument that comes close Is caddy shag as far as sports comedies. It's caddy shag is awesome I watched danger field is so good in that so good in that movie Hey, wang. It's a parking lot So racist they're so They can't make shit like that anymore. I I have to I have to be careful. I have been reading a lot of these Novels that are like time specific and there's some like extreme racism in them. Oh, yeah, and It's hard to like be in those stories and then Get out of them in the real world and be like those are not like language that you know, you say or anything It's hard because it you know, it's not like the same as here. It's almost It's almost weird like, you know, you do you understand what I'm kind of saying there It's I know exactly what you're talking about. I got it's the it's the it's the huckleberry fin thing Yeah, like if you try reading huck fin, you're like, oh, you know, that's I can't believe this is printed but Um, I've been reading these hardcore like, you know novels and and the things that are in them. I could never watch or like Here probably audibly and not make my skin crawl, right? And but it's somehow on print. It's not like you don't actually hear it It's in your imagination so, um But that's that's kind of like what I you know, we're talking about these roddy danger field jokes and the things from this old Jokes, but yeah, that's like that's the same thing We watched blazing saddles and you're like this movie would never get oh my gosh. It's so great too It's like so perfect for making fun of all this all that stuff. Hey demo Kirby It's a smoke monster was saying he was thinking of disabling the scan velocity modulation on his tosheba's tonight Did you did I try it? Yes, I tried it and yes, you should do it You should do it. I'm not going to spoil it because it's a big part of my video. It's coming next week It's a whole thing about that. I did everything on this tosheba that I can imagine But I will tell you, uh, what was I going to say? There was a couple things Oh Do do this crt the only thing I really like about this crt is that it is the most dangerous crt I've ever seen and worked on most dangerous Like did you get the pop? Did you get the pop? Oh, I could get this freaking bad boy to pop every time That's why I love it. I can make the damn thing pop on pop like I made it pop twice in this upcoming video Like and I did slow mo and all as much as I could do with my You know $200 budget. I got like in there I popped it twice like but this one was so bad the second time I was like popping it that you could see Like my hands, you know doing this Getting there trying to discharge it But this I mean and then there were other times where it would just be sitting there unplugged Discharged I'd grabbed the thing and it would just go and like I was like, what the frick what the hell is It's just nothing's grounded. It's just nothing's grounded. So I do not like I want everybody like that's the first thing I say in this thing I actually that's a lot of the reason I've been doing the western music tonight I got this whole western thing like the good the bad and the ugly and uh You know that movie Yeah, so that's like the good the bad and the ugly from the crt and it's all split up and I do the In between each stupid segment when I'd say something so what uh, um That toshiba is that a I I asked this before is that a Is that a trim a clone or is that a I don't know what they're supposed to be calling those things. So Is it a shadow mask or is it a is it a grill? Yeah, it's a shadow mask. Oh, it is. Yes. So it is not a tron It's something else. So if you have a tron then It would this is not that this is a shadow mask flat screen tube Um, well it did belong to try like I said earlier from Oh, that's right. I think gaming it's hit. You say, why does he have it? Yeah, why he bought the thing new In 2000 wow and five and It has some problems which I show fix troubleshoot and restore the set And then I do the whole Uh The good the bad and the ugly, right? Right. It's good about it And I found all these secret things about this like smoke monster just asked about this velocity modulation Oh my goodness Like I'm the weirdest shit. I've ever heard of on a crt. So when you open up this monitor or this television it's got um It's got this weird Attachment in the same area that you find the yoke rings Which are right on the crt gun where you adjust like the convergence And the purity it's the worst thing to adjust. It's high level But anyway, like right around that there's this weird copper winding with A tiny circuit board and a cable that comes out of it and it plugs into your neck board back crt And it says vm on a vm coil And so what this is supposed to do is supposed to use this variable voltage And it's so it's not constant. I guess it's variable and it Is supposed to sharpen Your edges a law right along the edge Of the crt and it's engaged in these by factory default But it looks like trash not I don't I mean if you're here at the stream right now You know, we're almost we're an hour and a half in getting close to whatever 30 minutes to close it. I'll let Roger go to bed but yeah, it's Is it um It's a flat. It's a flat crt. Absolutely true flat and well, because I Is always it's always bad. It's bad. Yeah, especially when you get 27 inches and up because I had a I had a 27 inch um I had a 27 inch panasonic tau series That was a flat screen and it's funny. You mentioned the edges because um just along the right side It it would just wobble. It was just like a weird like hooks Yeah, and like cricks and So I can understand why they would try to implement something to correct that but it was just the nature of the Well, that is also true. But the funny thing about this one Roger is The daggum set it it does that with the thing turned on right? But when you disengage it it softens that And it literally blends the whole line together. It looks like you don't see any of that You don't see it. It literally goes away and you're like, what the heck? What's the point of it? Right? It's like Toshiba just spent how can you think about that? How many people were like in charge of the much R&D went into that right the velocity modulator? Every one of those idiots should have been fired on day one Whoever's in charge of the velocity modulation I'm actually picking up a I'm ready to smash a flat screen crt on your dome I'm picking up a trinoclone tomorrow Uh for free. I'm getting a day woo 27 inch day woo with component video and You may ask yourself why day woo Uh, I think weren't they like I was trying to think were they the one that was like giving a Remember remember they weren't they like giving away a car like if you buy a car you get another car like you get You know you like sign one lease. They'll give you another one. Like I think that was If you sign one lease, I'm sure they'll give you another one. Yeah, they'll give you another one Okay, here's a free lease for like, you know this little shitty $8,000 Korean car, you know that with like 80 horsepower You know It may or may not have brakes But yeah, I'm getting somebody just posted it and they're like I'm getting rid of them moving and it's got component input. So I'm doing um Uh, I'm gonna do a video on pvms spoiler alert Uh, and I I just I wanted like a good late model Just like here's just a shitty consumer tube. You can get like next to a dumpster Like, you know, you can go spend money on something like this Here's what you can get next to a dumpster How much of a difference really is it, you know between rgb on this? And and component video on a on a late, you know on a late crt and Just to see like is it really worth it for you, you know, that's the whole point of my series, right? Is this is is it worth the money? Um, oh, yeah, it's definitely worth the money. It's worth every thousand dollars. It's worth of course Look at that. It's worth a billion dollars. Look at that Right here. Look at the under four stories never looked. I I mean I will never I'll tell you that uh I found an rca in the dumpster that was a 27 inch that but it was a curved screen from the 90s and it's beautiful Yeah, the the thing is is there's no The stupid flat screen. I don't understand why anybody wants. I mean, I'm not trying to be a jerk here But I don't see why anybody wants a flat screen crt Why would you want that when you could just go take your own flat screen and get a retro take? I yeah, right and just have a flat screen. That's the same thing true to me I mean, okay, if it's if it's well if it's 15 kilohertz, you could use a light gun, right? So there's that well, that's true and I understand that people like and look I'm not trying to diss on anybody who's who likes that because that this is just steve's personal like Of course like his cut of beef Like that steve has gotten into the crown folks. He's getting he's giving you the raw opinion here Yeah, that's that's the steve's cut of and and what he's saying folks is if you have a flat crt, you're a pussy.

That's right You got a big hot dog A big old five bush on it Oh, man This is this is this is all going great. Roger. Are you you tired yet? I'm I'm beyond exhausted. Actually, it's funny.
