 Welcome to Rehash! Well, the internet for all news is old news. We bring you the best and worst of what's happening today. Hello, how are you doing? It's me, JD, and welcome to Rehash. Thank you so much to JD22292 Gaming. If you would like to be an awesome BFB type person, make sure to rip the description open, click the link down below, and you guys can submit a Rehash introduction. Get back to ripping descriptions. Hi, I can't help it. Just to let you know, that is how you get spotlights. That is how you get us to talk about your channel at the end of any of our episodes. So any comments that we get asking, hey, can I get a spotlight? Can I do this and that? I'm just gonna look at those comments. I'm just gonna be like, you didn't watch the video. Mmm. So you're new to music tab, whatever. I do have some new music tab, whatever, so I'd like to discuss with the Freedom Family. Today I want to discuss McDonald's serving breakfast all day long. I wish I could sign up. I want to talk to the Freedom Family and you about a new MMO called Identity. Identity? Identity. So if you pirate that game, is it Identity theft? Maybe. All right. And then I wanted to discuss with the Freedom Family a fat guy on a mission, right? So as some of you may have already noticed, I am ripping my upside down McDonald's logo shirt. It's actually a parody shirt, W's for West Coast, but at any rate, I wore this shirt today because I knew I wanted to talk about this story. McDonald's is serving breakfast all day long, starting as early as October, all over the United States, hopefully going worldwide shortly after that. See, I've never been a fan of breakfast food, but McDonald's, I give it an exception. It's pretty good. Yeah, you know what? There's nothing better than like a McGrittle, like especially if you're craving a McGrittle. There is nothing that's going to satiate a McGrittle craving, other than a fricking McGrittle. That's cheap, so. I'm personally actually a Burger King breakfast person. Like a ham, egg, and cheese croissant. Oh! All right, best thing in the world, but McDonald's breakfast all day long is like the next best thing. And I just thought this was a really interesting story. Hopefully, financially, this is gonna be a really good thing for them, and also hopefully create a few more jobs with people. Yeah, who have the nation. Yeah. And then you wanted to talk about, I wanted to talk to the Reno Family about a new game called Igenity. Now what sets this apart is most games that are being made by small indie devs. I'm assuming this is a smaller indie development company. They normally go to Indiegogo, or these other various websites that are already established, and they're like, hey, give us money. But instead, they are doing this on their own, meaning that they're doing this on their website, and they've already sustained over $180,000 out of the $250,000 goal. See, the thing about Indiegogo and GoFundMe and all of these, I feel a little bit safer? I agree. But I mean, for the most part, as a small indie development company who maybe posted a small Reddit post and is going viral right now. The thing is, I've watched the video. If you'd like to watch the video, it's down there in the description. So go ahead and gently open it. Yeah. And then you can watch this video. So yeah, so for the most part, Igenity is a modern day open world MMORPG for PC and Mac with compatible or with complete freedom to do almost anything you can imagine at any time and first or third person views. You can have vehicles. Wait a minute, almost anything. Can I sit? Yeah, you can literally sit. You can like completely build mountains from scratch. Can I become like a criminal? Yeah, you can become a criminal. You can become a firefighter. You can become a businessman. They have structures, cops, criminals. Can I become a dirty cop? Anything. Yes, literally anything in the world. Now, that kind of scares me because I feel like development-wise, it would take forever to make a game like that. But they're almost at their goal. They just started. So the thing that I like about this is the fact that it's almost in the bag at this point. They ask for $250,000. They're at almost $200,000 as we speak. And by the time this goes live, they could have possibly hit that goal because we are filming at 10.30 a.m. Eastern time. And this will go live in about 22-ish hours. So who knows what's gonna happen in that time. I like this. Honestly, I'm gonna drop them $25 because I would like to be in on the ground floor or something. When it comes to doing YouTube, getting in before everybody else is going to help you out a lot. And $25 will get you early beta access. And I just, in the back of my mind, I'm like, you know what? What if I would have gotten in on Call of Duty six months before everybody else? Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't hurt to make, you know, like, say, five or 10-ish videos when the game runs. Have five or 10 videos already up on your channel. Already, they're on the ranked. Oh, research ones. And when people are searching for it, they know that you're the guy. You are the man. Or lady. Well, then I wanted to talk to the Freedom Family. That would be you about a fat guy on a mission. So when I say fat guy on a mission, no, I'm not saying I think this guy is fat. Now, he may be a little overweight, but the news places that have picked this up are billing it that way. So that's why I'm saying that. I have nothing against fat people because I'm one of you, my home dogs. But anyways, so this guy who is Eric Heitz, Eric Heitz turned 40 and said, you know what, these extra pounds gotta go. So he decided he was gonna get on a bicycle and ride across the USA. Some people have like New Year's resolutions and they never do that. But this guy, like he had a goal when he did it. He had 40. Well, he's not fully through yet. He's on, he's on his way, making his way. Now, on a bike. But what blows me away is most of us who say, hey, we're gonna lose weight this year. Never even get on a bicycle. And he's already doing it. Yeah, totally. That is awesome. And I have to say, you know, this guy has all my love, all my respect. Link in the description if you wanna read the full article and what made this guy decide to do this. It's actually a really interesting story, but in the interest of screen time, it's about all the time we can get it. So I guess that pretty much wraps up all of our stories, right? Yeah. So I guess it's about time, the comments. Did somebody say the comments? I'm loving it. So comment number one, one comes from Random Gaming. Now, before we actually dive into the comment a few days ago, we covered a topic where a man was struck by a lightning, then on top of that, won the lottery. And Anthony asked the Freedom family, what would you do with a million dollars? So Random Gaming said the first thing he would do is take a girl out on a date. That, a specific girl that he'd like? No, he just said, this is a girl. Just a girl. Just a girl, any girl, any girl, like, I think. Yeah, hey, more power too, yeah. Are you coming number two? Yes, actually I do have a comment. Oddly how that happens in the comment section, right? Yeah, but it just comments everywhere. Mayhem mercenary says, I think you should upload a short video explaining Anthony and his freak out gift seen on Twitter. Actually, that video is already live. It was part of the comment section on a previous rehash video. Let's see a clip. So I have a comment here from, let's just choose randomly. Okay, here's one. From K4G, who says, oops, I messed up the pillow. Oops, I messed up the pillows. That's it. No. Comment number three comes from Black Panther. Pretty cool name, nonetheless. He says, oh, underscore, oh, I'm assuming that's like a face emoticon. He says, I'm on a rehash video, question mark, exclamation points. Nice, now you're on two. Hey, you're on a roll, man, and then. And then comment number four, I wanted to talk about Troll Gamer ESP, who says, good video, I loved it. Recommend the network, friends. Nice, also speaking about network news, Freedom has now grown to include a CMS called Freedom Four. So that is definitely something that is newsworthy. And also dealing with this comment section, I wanted to put in a note, we are in need of specific types of comments going forward, not for this section, but all video-wide. We need a lot of people saying, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, not joking. We need these comments, no other text in it, but you'll find out why we need this later on. We also need a lot more other one-word comments, like awesome, cool, spectacular, cheese, potatoes. Just letting you know that we need these and you'll find out what we need them for later. All right, and then now we get to talk about the partner. Did somebody say, oh no, wait, we already did that joke. Crap, all right. Now we start with the partner, let's do it. So rehashes partner of the day is JD22292 Gaming. Wow, that's a lot of numbers. But nonetheless, let's dive into the pros and cons of his channel. So the first con that I have with the guy's channel is the logo in the banner. As a gaming channel, I feel like maybe you should have some games. It does kind of have a vloggy vibe to it. Right, when I first clicked it, I was like, okay, this guy does vlogs, he does eight in a night videos, but no, he does a lot of gaming content. Yeah, okay. And then I wanted to talk about his descriptions. A lot of good things going on in the description, but I wouldn't tell you, use a link shortener. G-O-O dot G-L, or goo dot gole, is a great way to be able to do this and keep everything nice and tight so that your links don't get cut off. We use a lot of short links in the description down below, either through link shortners or whatever. Sometimes with the news stories, we don't shorten those. So I guess we're a bad example. But for things that you're going to use all the time, use a link shortener so that people, they don't see that when links get cut off, it just kind of look weird. And then last but not least, I wanted to talk about the guy's thumbnails. Some of the thumbnails are actually pretty good and some of which aren't. I've noticed in some of the thumbnails the colors that he's using, the text is so difficult to see that you have to open the video up in a third-party program and stretch the thumbnail really large to even see the text and make out what it says. An example of a thumbnail template style that I'm not really a fan of. He has a game here called The Town of Salem, and it's literally the same thumbnail every single time other than part one, part two, part three at the bottom. Now, you can do a lot of good things with branding in doing this. You can just create a brand for yourself. However, with the color palette, with everything that's going on, it's hard to notice in your subscriber feed, the difference between episode one through five. Maybe I watched an episode, I have no idea what episode I watched the last time and I skipped this episode. It's one of the reasons why rehashes thumbnails are so drastically different, but still very much the same from episode to episode. It's so that people know, oh my gosh, I haven't seen that one yet. So keep that in mind, and I want you to look at your thumb nailing and I want you to figure out how you can implement something like that so that things are drastically different, but still the same with some of the very similar elements. And also I'm noticing that sometimes, like Zach said, it's hard to read text. Minimize text when it all possible. Text is great if it adds something that's not already in your title or your descriptions. Just keep it minimal. Like yesterday's, we had one that was, we had the indie humblebud, but that was because it was the logo. That was the only text in yesterday's thumbnail. And that was done for a very strategic reason. And I would suggest you start thinking a little bit more about the strategy there. Right. All right, that's really all. I mean, I think this is a decent channel. I think you've got a lot of potential. I think you just need a little bit of help with marketing and that's what we've provided here. Yeah, so if you guys want to go subscribe to him or go check his channel out and go spam with rehash. Even if you don't actually watch his videos, even if you don't actually subscribe, I just want you to go to his channel. I want you to hit him up with hashtag rehash on his most recent video. And I want to make him sorry that he even provided this intro. I want you to have him tell everybody, oh my God, a hundred people showed up and they all spammed me with hashtag rehash. It was horrible. It might make his day, though. It was horrible, man. All right, well, that pretty much wraps everything. Yeah, everything is done. All right, well, I guess until next time, don't forget to like, subscribe and do all those things that make us love our jobs. Also, be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other. See you guys later. Bye for your family. Seriously? That was awesome. I really wish more people would do stuff like this. It makes me feel awesome and famous. This is the greatest song ever. All right.
