 This is Chico, welcome to my channel. Now what we're gonna do in this video is sort of a quick little update just to let you know where we are right now with the content being created and what the plans are and where we're going. Okay, and we will do this either quarterly, semi-annually, or on a yearly basis. And if you do have questions, anything that you want me to include in these updates, please post comments in these videos once they're uploaded to BeTutor or YouTube and I'll add them on as categories that we'll cover in the next update. Okay. As far as what I want to cover, the first thing I want to do is thank everyone that's been supporting this work. Okay. The reason we're here right now is because of you. What's going to see us into the future and the different things we have planned out to roll out is going to be because of you. So thank you for the support. Those of you from Patreon, those of you on Twitch, YouTube, those of you who are making direct donations, thank you for the love, the comments, and the words of encouragement. Really, without you, we wouldn't be here. And with your support, we're gonna see ourselves into the future and roll out a lot of things that we've been planning on rolling out, right? Build the content slowly and continue to grow the playlists and link everything up through mathematics and looking at data and seeing where it takes us. Okay. So thank you very much for the support, really, from the bottom of my heart. Okay. The second thing I wanted to mention is basically I started live streaming towards the end of 2017. And what I ended up doing is acquiring a whole bunch of different tools, a laptop, high-end gaming computer, mic, cameras, software. So I basically learned how to live stream towards the end of 2017. And we're in the middle of 2018 right now. Since that time, we've basically put out 68 videos and about 89 hours of live streaming, right? And the 68 videos and the hours of live streaming that we've done, we've sort of done a full repertoire. We've done mathematics, we've done food, we've done gaming, we've done comic books. We've done a lot of things that we did before we started live streaming. And one of the things I wanted to do and we are doing right now is basically live streaming the recording sessions. I don't think we're gonna live stream every recording session, but we are gonna live stream a lot of recording sessions. And though basically the routine is going to be, we're gonna tag team them. So we're gonna live stream the recording sessions just to show everyone how I end up creating this content. There's a lot of times where a lot of questions over the years have come my way asking me how I go about creating this content. So I think that's important to share, okay? So what we're gonna do basically, the routine is gonna be, we're gonna be live streaming the recording sessions. And then I'm gonna end up recording the videos and uploading those to whatever platform we're sharing the recorded videos on. And then we're gonna upload these recording sessions as behind the scenes. So I've created a playlist called Behind the Scenes and Behind the Scenes is us live streaming recording sessions. So when we're live streaming the recording sessions, there's gonna be basically two videos that are gonna have the same sort of content, right? But after the recording sessions, we end up usually doing a Q&A with whoever's watching the live stream. And we sort of do a meet and greet before the live streams, okay? Or before the recording sessions. So you're welcome to participate in any of these live streams whenever you want and ask questions because there are basically open discussion, okay? Now, while I've gone through this, but I've seriously, you know, pretty steep learning curve from my end because I had to learn a lot of this technology, a lot of this content and a lot of these learn how to interact with these different platforms, maybe Twitch, maybe Discord, maybe transferring the information to YouTube and figuring out how YouTube was gonna deal with these live streams, their algorithms and how they were gonna censor some of this information, right? And there are some censoring. There is some censoring going on for sure. Their algorithms are catching some of the discussion taking place, right? But as far as I'm concerned, it's something we can deal with, okay? As for what this next phase is all about, this next phase is basically what we've done in the last three major live streams that we did, right? We did a live stream behind the scenes of shooting a video of a how to video, right? How to study video for ASMR math. So there's two videos that we have up right now. One of them is the edited version of how to study and the other one is behind the scenes version where we live streamed the how to study video, how to study number seven, how to take notes, right? So if you wanna know how that works, basically there's two videos you're gonna watch there. We did another recording session where it was basically exploring the possibilities of ICOs and cryptocurrencies where we recorded the session and we also live streamed the session. So again, there's another tag team videos where we have the edited version of exploring the possibilities of ICOs and cryptocurrencies and behind the scenes version where we live streamed it with some questions that were posed after the recording session. And we've done a third stream as well where we did a comic book live stream and we also recorded it, right? Where we did all the valiant buys and there's gonna be a tag team video of that as well where we have the edited version of the comic book haul recorded with the lapel mic, the sound and the HD camera which gives it a much better ASMR feel. It goes back to where we were before we introduced live streaming and after that video was uploaded, there's gonna be behind the scenes of that recording session gonna be loaded up on the different platforms where we're sharing this information, okay? So that's where we are in terms of how we're rolling out this live stream and how the frequency and the type of videos that are being loaded on YouTube and Bitshoot are gonna be coming on, right? One other update I want to give you guys is regarding comic books, right? Now I've had a lot of people ask me if I'm gonna go back to doing comic book readings and 100%, my apologies for not staying up with the comic book readings we've planned for comic book readings set number four. We've done, I forget how many we've done. I think we've done eight out of 32 or so and we've done couple of extra ones as well that weren't in reading set number four. So we have a whole bunch of videos that we have to do readings for and we wanna do readings for for reading set number four because we plan on doing 32 readings, right? So we've done basically eight out of 32 so we've got another 24 readings to do for reading set number four and we will be doing those this summer. I mentioned to a couple of people I believe we're gonna start that up in August, this, you know, in a couple of months, August 2018 or a month I guess, right? But I might try to slip in a couple of ones, random ones in July as well but basically we're gonna start doing comic book readings and we're gonna live stream the comic book readings. Basically we're gonna have the same type of setup as we had for the how to study video number seven, how to take notes where we're gonna live stream the readings. So if you wanna catch a comic book reading being live streamed, you definitely wanna experience that through Twitch because we are gonna do that but if you don't that's okay because we are gonna be recording with a lapel mic and the HD camera and I will be taking those, you know, into the software that I use for editing and editing those and that will be more the sound quality will be more, it won't have sort of the sharpness to it when it's going through this instead of being with the stand up, the podcasting mic. Okay, so there's two different ways you can enjoy the comic book readings, right? And there's gonna be a lot more stuff that I've planned out to do for comic books. I do plan on putting up some of my collection on eBay to sell. I do plan on basically showing you guys the process of how I go about grading the comic books, how I go about putting the stuff on eBay to sell them on eBay and we're definitely gonna expand on talk more about what my work with comic book publishing was which was basically what I did with mermaid publications where we actually talked a little bit about that regarding an eye for an eye comic book, one of the comic book series that I published and we will talk about the other comic books that I published through mermaid publications and we'll definitely 100% will be doing readings for almost, you know, most likely all of the comic books that I ended up publishing and most likely because people have been asking me after we talked about eye for an eye and they asked me where they could get the eye for an eye comic, I'll definitely load those on to eBay as well and have those up as auction if you feel like, you know, acquiring those comics as well, right? And there's a few eye for an eye and some of the comic books that I did through mermaid publications gonna be sent out to you know who you are, right? To the people who've been supporting me through Patreon and some of the people that are working behind the scenes through discord, modding through discord and Twitch and some of the people who've done direct donations and stuff like this, just as a thank you gift, okay? So there's a lot more coming on regarding comic books. People have asked me if we're gonna do any more food videos 100%, we will be doing more food videos 100%. The stuff we're gonna do in the kitchen most likely is all gonna be live streamed. I don't think I'm gonna do any recording sessions when it comes to making food because I do like the double camera angles that we've been using, one camera here, one camera here, one camera straight out. These two cameras looking on the stove top where we're doing the cooking and stuff. And I think I can only do that with the live streams. I'm not set up to do those recording versions, right? But we will definitely be doing way more food videos and we're definitely gonna do more eating videos as well. So there's a lot more content for that playlist, for that content coming up as well. Don't worry, 100%, food is a huge part of my life and we'll definitely share that information, okay? Another thing I wanted to mention is people have been asking me to start doing more politics videos because they liked what I've either written in the past, over the last, I don't know, 12 years or so, or they like some of the, you know, the few, the handful of videos we put out regarding politics. And as I mentioned, we're gonna link up the politics stuff through economics. So mainly when I'm talking about politics, I'm gonna enter through the realm of economics, right? Present that information. However, because a lot of people have been asking me to start doing more political videos, what we're going to do, and because the world is changing a big way, and there are certain things playing out that we need to pay attention to because that's gonna affect all of us in terms of economics, really, personal finance, investing in all that jazz, right? So what I'm going to do, because we've been having a lot of requests to do more politics, is most likely once a month or once every two months will do a live stream, open discussion for politics, right? Politics and economics. So I'm not gonna prepare anything to talk about for those videos. I'm just gonna be available to give you my perspective regarding certain political events that are taking place, maybe local or global, okay? And what I'll try to do is stay focused on the economics aspect of it because I don't wanna introduce my biases to those political discussions, but I will try to present my perspective in a way where no matter how extreme the thought process is, I sort of wanna give both ends of the spectrum because over the years, what I've realized regarding politics is there's a reason why certain people have a certain political stance, right? There's a reason why they lean in a certain way, right? May they be extreme from this end or from that end, right? And it's really important to understand both perspectives to get a really good idea of what is really taking place and not get caught up in the rhetoric and the name calling and basically the BS coming out of corporate news, right? Because we really don't want to vent when it comes to doing political videos, political discussions. We want to understand what's going on and why it's happening. So that's what we'll end up doing in these live stream, open discussion, political economic streams that we're going to do. And just to continue on that mindset regarding politics, economics, people have been commenting. There's a couple of people that said congratulations on for Canada, for legalizing cannabis, right? And it is a huge step towards, as Robert Anton Wilson would say, coming out of the dark ages, right? Because if you've been following my work, basically in 2010 or so or 2009, 2010, I threw my hat in into the fray, right? What I ended up doing was saying that I was going to work towards ending prohibition. A certain amount of my energy, my resources were going to be put towards trying to help end prohibition, right? And the reason I did this was if you go to, and basically the method I chose to do this was linking up through mathematics, right? So there's a website called 420math.com. And if you go to the About page, basically in the About page, I explain why it is that I've joined this battle, right? And when I joined this battle, I had a lot of people tell me that I was out of my mind, right? I had a lot of people tell me that there is no way that legalization would come about, right? And legalization is not the end of prohibition, right? They're two different things. End of prohibition means the government getting out of our business. Legalization means the government is forcing themselves into our business, right? We have a long ways to go yet to end prohibition. Legalization is the first step. This is just one battle. There's a lot more to come, okay? So we have cause to celebrate. We do. We've come a long way in the last few years, but there's a lot of work to be done. There's a lot of work to be done, okay? And I will stay in this battle for as long as it takes, right? And it's gonna take a long time. Don't, we're not there yet, okay? So that's sort of a quick little update. Some of the things I wanted to talk about and we will continue to do updates. And if there's anything you'd like to talk about in the next update, please post comments and I'll include the subject and the next update may be quarterly, semi-annually or yearly updates. And I'll look at the user agreements on YouTube and Twitch and all these different platforms to see if I can share some of that information. And maybe we'll start sharing some of the analytics of Chicho, analytics of what we're doing here with you guys as well and then do the Q and A as a live stream, okay? So that's about it. I hope that answers a lot of your questions. And I'm definitely looking forward to all the content coming up and I hope you are as well, okay? That's it for now. I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye-bye.
