 What's in your cup? All right, so today, my favorite beverage, deathwish coffee. Number one in the in the carousel every week going to be the first thing in there, the smoothest coffee, you know world's strongest coffee, never bitter, very smooth, you're not going to be disappointed. I have it all over the house, you know, I got cake cups, I got grinds, I got I got single-serve pouches, I got everything, I got mugs, I got shirts, I got everything. Deathwish is the greatest cup of coffee you're going to have, I believe. Anyway, I'm Jim. My YouTube channel is the side hustle shuffle, and we explore ways to make money online passively, for the most part, okay. Now, I like passive income. Now, what's passive income? Because people say there's no such thing as passive income, right? Well, because they think it's never having to work again, right? Did you have the coffee? It's great. So, people think that passive income is never having to work again, right? And sitting on the beach and never having to do anything. And that's not what it is. Passive income is doing something today, you know, doing an effort, putting forward some effort today, and you have the potential to earn money over and over again from that effort, over and over again in the future, such as an author writing a book, right? An author writes a book, it's passive income, he writes the book, right? And when he's done writing the book, he's done. He doesn't have to do anything else, but the book sells over and over and over again, and he gets royalty payments as it goes, right? That's passive income. Like the actor and actresses in movies and TV, they get residual income from when their stuff plays, you know, music artists get residual income, you know? Passive income, you do something one day, and over and over again, you have the potential to earn money over and over again. And so, what's the easiest way to do that today? And that's a YouTube channel, okay? YouTube channel. YouTube channel is free to start, right? And you can build your own clone army, okay? If you put out videos every two a week, right? Two videos a week, and at the end of three to five years, you have like 500 videos and 500 clones of you out on the internet. Imagine that. 500 clones of you out there on the internet doing whatever you want them to do. You could, you know, selling something or helping somebody or doing whatever it is you're into, right? What are you into? What are you into? That's the whole thing. What are you into? So start a YouTube channel and what you're into, right? Follow your passion. The passion economy is what they're talking about today. The passion economy is like the fastest growing business in the United States is content creator is the passion economy. People are following their passions and making full-time incomes. Starting YouTube channels, doing social media, doing courses, making training courses, video courses, right? So they do all of these things and they put it out there and over and over again, it makes money for them, right? What they do also in the video is what's called affiliate marketing. They put a link into the video in the bottom of the video and YouTube video in the description. They put a link to an item, right? And when somebody buys that item or clicks through and goes to that website, they'll get a small commission, right? And it's just so and YouTube is searchable. It's the number two search engine in the world right now, right? So people are searching for something and I always say Lego that I say. Let's say you have a Lego channel on YouTube and you're putting together Legos and in the description, you're got a link to go buy the Legos and people buy the Legos now, but you do two a week for five years. You have 500 videos out there. When people search Star Wars Lego set, your videos come up and people watch them and then click the link and you make a commission over and over again throughout time. Next week, a month, a year, two years, five years from now, as long as that item is for sale and it's relevant, you have the potential to earn money from that video over and over and over again, right? That's what being a content creator is. Some people use their social media to take pictures of their dinner, right? And other people are using their social media to earn a passive income to earn. And another thing that people in the miscommunication, the disconnect is people think you have to be a millionaire. They have to be a movie star or a celebrity or somebody else. No, you don't have to be a celebrity. Small followings, okay? That's what it's all about, niche down into small, you're a real person. You can connect on a different level than somebody who's an actor or a celebrity, you know, such. So people are looking for that, you know, down to earth person on YouTube, on social media that's showing them, this is how I lost weight. This is what I did to lose weight. And so they, what you do is you solve the problem for somebody. When you solve somebody's problem, hey, Gizmo, how you doing Gizmo Carol? When you solve somebody's problem, they're indebted to you and then they become part of your tribe, part of your following, part of your subscribers, right? And you build, you build, you build. So the next item in there, when you get started, right? Again, all you need to get started is your cell phone. You get started with your cell phone, start making some content with your cell phone. Cell phone has a great camera, has a great microphone, and you can get started. As long as your cell phone's only a couple of years old, you know, you don't have one of those old flip phones, right? But the webcam is probably going to be one of the first things you're going to upgrade, right? And I needed a webcam for back when the pandemic hit. Everybody was doing Zoom meetings, right? So I needed a, I needed a webcam. So they were all sold out. I ended up getting this one. Look at the price, 20 bucks, okay? I'm going to show you side by side this webcam at $20, 1080p webcam, which is a pretty good webcam for 20 bucks. And then Logitech is the next one here. The Logitech, the C920, I think I have in there, or 925, right? So I'm going to show you a video of me with them side by side, okay? So you can get a look at what the difference is between the $20 one and the $70 one, right? Hey Gina, hey, hold on. My original camera is the next one in the carousel. And I got this one. One is the webcam, the 1080 webcam. And now I'm going to pull that one up. I'm going to share extra camera. So there it is. So you can see, so the one, the one I'm covering now is the Logitech. And the one I'm covering now is the camera. So you can get an idea of the difference, okay? Better camera, better color is in Logitech, right? Again, if I put my hands out, it's kind of weird. But you know, don't wait to get started. Get started. So do you see, you know, so somebody who's like an expert or somebody who knows about video with no the difference, but your average normal everyday person that goes to YouTube isn't going to know the difference really, okay? I mean, of course, you want the best. Everybody wants the best. But does it do what you want it to do? So that's the 920 against the webcam with no name on it, right? And the one I'm using now is the Logitech Brio. This is the Brio. Brio is like the top of the line webcam. Very good. But you can tell it's more crisp, better with the lights, you know, a little wider in the field of view. But you don't necessarily need the $130 camera to get by, to get started. You know, you can get started with the $20 camera. I did a lot of work with the $20 camera and it didn't matter. Remember, it's the contents, not the camera. It's the content, not the camera. You know, if your content stinks, it doesn't matter if you have a $1,000 camera, right? So get the content done first. I'm actually really looking at the Brio. Yeah, I like the Brio. It's nice. I'm not taking advantage of this apps, you know, Logitech has apps and you can go in and you can play around with it and adjust it. And you can actually change the field of view and change the old settings and stuff, which I haven't really gotten into because I took it out of the box and I liked what I saw and I was just going to leave it the way it is, you know, because I'm not a techno geek as far as, you know, all the settings and knowing I'd really have to dig in and figure it out. It would take me some time. But like I said, I was happy with it right out of the box. And, you know, again, plug and play stuff. Everything is plug and play that I'm using. There's no special software. There's no barrier to entry. There's no education that you need to know. There's no learning curve, right? You can just jump right in. We're going to stick with the cameras, right? We're going to go, the next ones are the 4K cameras and I got both of them in the Bejanger and the VTech I think is the other one, right? I looked at them and they're the same camera, okay? It's the same camera. It's got the 4K, no brand on the same camera. I use this camera for a lot of my videos. It's got the macro and the micro lens, right? And it comes off. It's got all the settings, the bells and whistles. It doesn't have anti-stabilization. It doesn't have a lot of stuff that a more expensive camera has. But to get started, if you've never had a camera before, right, and you want to learn how to use a camera, this camera has all the settings, has photo, has time lapse, has slow motion, has video, has playback, has all the nice stuff, you know, has to fold out a thing right there, right? Hey, we got a follower. We got a follower. You know what that means? Sorry, Tim, we got to take a break. We got to put out the curtains and we got to go down and we got to hit the rock and roll. We got to turn that puppy up. Thanks for following Tim. I appreciate that. An angelic is in the house. How are you doing, baby? How are you doing? An angelic is in the house. So we're talking about the budget camera, the 4K cameras, right? I love this one. Anyway, do you need all the bells and whistles? Everybody wants the top of the line camera. I do. I'm going to get it. My goal is to get the top of the line camera of Black Friday. Black Friday is my goal, is to get the camera that I'm looking for on Black Friday, my upgrade to cameras. But in the meantime, I'm going to show you, share my screen. We pull this up here and I'm going to pull this power supply up. Stop that. I'm going to come down here and share. One main show here, you're going to have to bear with me a second. This is the camera. I'm doing a shopper video, a review video for those of you who don't know. Hey, Henry, what's up, man? So this is the camera on a tripod, 4K camera. Perfect picture. Perfect. It's doing what it needs to do. The lighting is not the good lighting makes a bad camera better, right? But anyway, that's the 4K camera there and I'm going to stop sharing that one. I'm going to show you another one of me using it as a vlogging camera on a vlogging rig. Check this one out. Testing. One, two, three. We're testing the Boya mic. Boya mic shotgun mic. I got it connected to my 4K camera. I have it on my vlogging rig and we're outside. You might be able to hear the birds, but that's what the shotgun mic plugged into the camera. Okay. It doesn't have anti-stabilization, so you can't walk around with it. It's going to move around. It's going to bounce around. Then I'm going to show you that in a second. But you put it on a tripod. It's a great camera. It's a great little camera to start with. If you have somebody that wants to get started in video and video creation and stuff and you're afraid to buy the $1,000 camera, you can go out and buy them there and tell them, listen, learn how to use the camera, get familiar with the settings. You know, when I know that you're responsible, we'll upgrade. You remember, it's always upgraded. For every activity you always upgrade, that's half the fun of doing it, is upgrading to the next best thing, right? Something's always coming out. Something new is always coming out, so you're going to upgrade anyway, no matter. You buy the $1,000 camera and it'll be a $1,500 camera next week, right? Seriously. Start with what you have. And this thing is perfectly fine. Let me show you. I had the picture of it. Where is it? Here it is. This is a picture of me at the river. Okay? No anti-stabilization, so holding it and it's shaking a little bit. Now, I'm trying to push the button and I'm moving the camera while I'm pushing the button. That's just the way the nature of the beast. I'm not on a gimbal, right? That's the next upgrade. But I don't really do a lot of that vlogging type stuff, but it's nice to have. But anyway, worth investing in. And okay, we were going to give away gift cards, I said, right? We were going to give away gift cards. So what we're going to do is we're going to go down and click the link, go through the carousel, go to the product, go to your checkout, and what's the price after the coupon here? There's going to be a coupon in one of these two cameras, right? Check it out, click through, find it, and then the price before tax. Put it in the chat and we'll be going on. Where is it? I'm going to show you. Share the screen. There's the screen, the Wheel of Names. That's the last week's Wheel of Names. We gave away a winner last week. I can't remember who it was. Was it Jessica? Was it you, Jessica, won last week? So give away a winner every week. A $20 gift card. We're going to clear this. Clear it. Who would have won? Charles would have won. Hey, Charles. All right. We're going to get rid of everybody and we're going to stop putting people's names in here. Oh, what happened? Oh, that's because no one's names now. All right. Jennifer and Jessica, I got to make sure I got that straight. All right. I'll stop sharing that for a minute. Okay. Now, back into life. All right. So we got the two cameras in there. Okay. Did I start early? I usually start around eight o'clock. I actually thought I started like a minute late, maybe two minutes late by the time the front credits that I play runs about two minutes. Yeah, thanks. How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good. How are you doing? Oh, death wish coffee is so good, man. I'm the Java junkie. All right. I'm the Java junkie. I'll drink any coffee. I'll drink it. I don't like pumpkin spice, but I'll drink almost anything else. And death wish coffee is by far the best coffee in the world. The ZV1 camera. The ZV1 camera, that's the one with all the bells and whistles. That's my wish camera. I'm going to be getting that on Black Friday. Okay. I'm holding out Black Friday. That's my wish purchase. My goal on Black Friday is to get the ZV1 or the ZVE10. Maybe the E10. I don't know. But definitely looking to get one to upgrade. But I've had this camera for a long time and I use this in almost all of my review videos. I'm using this camera now on a tripod because, like I said, anti-stabilization on a tripod. It doesn't matter. You put it on a tripod. It works just fine. I mean, it personally finds camera for $100 camera. Look, okay, the display. I put it on by accident. Right. And there's the display. Oh, I got that. I got that. So you want to see what it is? There you go. All right. And I'm going to turn it off. But you know, I'm not going to say I love the camera. But I mean, it's a great tool for the price. You can't beat it for the price. That's what I'm saying. Okay. That's what I'm saying. All right. The next item in the carousel is also the Acasio EK7000. The EK7000 is this one over here. All right. I got it in the waterproof case and I got this little thing so that when I drop it in the lake, it doesn't sink to the bottom. I thought it was going to bob and take videos, but it doesn't. It just keeps it from sinking. It flips upside down. But okay, the waterproof case comes with the waterproof case. And I've had this thing on the water. I've had it at the lake. I've had it on the boat. I've had it everywhere. Great little camera. I bought this thing for B-Roll, which if you know what B-Roll is, it's the background video in YouTube videos. And I take it around. It's a good little camera. I'm going to play a video, a short clip of me in the pool. Check it out. So, not a big camera. Now, you're talking about a $70 camera, right? And I think that the Pro, which I also have over here. I'm going to go over to the Pro. I got the Pro over here. That one's $85 as opposed to the GoPro, which is $400. This one came with all of the mounts for the helmet and the bike mount and all that stuff. And the waterproof case. The Pro I think has Wi-Fi and this one doesn't. As a matter of fact, go into the carousel and check it out. What's the difference between the GoPro, I mean, the Acacio EK7000 Pro and the EK7000. What's the difference? Let me know and you'll be entered into the Wheel of Names. Let me know. Now, I'll be completely transparent. I'm trying to get you guys to click the carousel because that triggers the Amazon that we're having a good time here. So, you click some links in the game here and it tricks the algorithm. It doesn't trick them. But let's the algorithm know, oh, they're looking at stuff. They're checking out this, they're checking out that. Oh, he added that to his card. So, if you add one thing to your card to check out the price of the coupon, I'm not asking you to buy it necessarily if you want to buy it. But you can always clear the card afterwards. You just want to find out what the price is and put that in the carousel, I mean, in the chat and I'll put you in the Wheel of Names and we're going to give away a gift card. We give away one every week. All right. So, the Akasio 7000 and the 7000 Pro as opposed to the GoPro Hero, which is 550, right? I mean, personally, I wasn't jumping off ski lifts. I wasn't taking the motor cross. I wasn't like doing all kinds of stunts and crazy stuff that I needed the GoPro, right? So, the EK7000 works perfectly fine for what I needed to do. Probably works fine for you. You know, great, great, great little camera. I'll tell you one thing. I put this camera through the wash, right? I had it in my pocket. It's a small little camera. I put it through the wash and the dryer. The camera still works, okay? And that was without the waterproof case, okay? That was without the waterproof case. Just, yeah, you know, and then you put a what do you call card in there, microSD card so that you can save all that stuff and then you put it on your computer and you're good to go. Great camera. You know, I mean, the GoPro maybe will let you upload it to your YouTube channel straight from the camera. I don't know. Matter of fact, check it out. See what the GoPro does. What does the GoPro do? What does the GoPro do? Craziness. It's crazy. Ways to make money on the side. I always throw this one out there, okay? Retail arbitrage. Retail arbitrage. Everybody's doing it on Facebook Marketplace. Do you guys go to Facebook Marketplace? Do you guys do any shopping on Facebook Marketplace or put any items like garage sale, Facebook Marketplace? Do you guys do that? I love Facebook Marketplace. It's crazy. I shop on it like crazy. I'm always looking for something. All right, so the next thing in there is the U-Breeze tripod, which I got over here. This thing is great. I use this thing all the time. I'm gonna just leave it there. We're gonna talk about retail arbitrage on Facebook Marketplace. So what they do is they find a retail place. Oh, we got a comment over here. What do we got? My screen is blank. Oh, maybe that's on. All right. Well, it might be. So you find yourself a retailer like Walmart. I always used Walmart. And you find an item that you think you could get more for. So like, I had a Cubics or Coney Earrings that Walmart sold for $9.99. They were my favorite thing. So I would take the Cubics or Coney Earrings and I would sell it for $19.99 on Facebook Marketplace. So what would happen was they would buy it on Facebook Marketplace, send me $19.99. Then I would go to Walmart. I'd pay $9.99 for it and I'd put their address in. Walmart would ship it to them. So I never had the item. Didn't have to have the item. I didn't even have money. I could do it with no money. They're sending me $19.99. Then I'm taking that $19.99 and I'm buying $9.99 Earrings and having Walmart ship it for free over there. Okay. It came out, Kelly. Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for stopping by. Welcome to the live stream. Welcome to the live stream. We're talking about making money on the side. We're talking about things I used to do to make money for Christmas was retail arbitrage. I did it on eBay, but people are doing it on Facebook Marketplace now. I dabbled in Facebook Marketplace doing it. Now that Facebook Marketplace has the shipping option, you can do it on Facebook Marketplace and you can just have them ship it straight to the person and you never have the item. Whatever item it is, and it could be the Christmas buzz items that everybody's trying to get. They'll pay you. You can get more for that. I don't want to get too deep into down the rabbit hole because the reason I stopped doing it was customer service, to be quite frank. I got tired of answering emails because people would send me emails, where's my product? My product is broken. It's the wrong size. It's not what I ordered. Then I would have to, it didn't cost me anything but time. I would go back to Walmart and start the return and they would send them a return slip and then they would put it in the box and send it back to Walmart. Walmart would refund me and I'd refund them. It would just take time and it was just a pain in the butt. It was a good way to make some money, but as it grew, it got to be work. It got to be work, but definitely easy way to make money. If you get an item that sells, let's say you're making $10 an item and you sell 10 items a day, it's $100 a day. It's not hard. You put out, every day, you list five items. Then at the end of the month, you have like 120 items, something like that, that are on there. People are buying back and forth. Then it gets crazy because now you get no, so what I used to do is I'd get up an hour early in the morning before I would normally get up, get out and I would answer emails and start ordering things. Then when I got home at night, I would do the same thing, answer emails and make orders because you had to have a quick turnaround in order for it to work. But you got to be a hustler. I used to trade time for money all the time. I'd do side work. I would regrow bedrooms, I would paint, I'd fix holes, I'd do additions, I'd do roofing, I'd do gutter cleaning, whatever it took to make money on the side. I did all kinds of side hustles. But it was always time for money and you only have so much time. Imagine creating a clone army. I say it all the time, creating a clone army and putting it out there and people are searching videos that you've made last year and click the link and you get a commission. You made the video last year. That's passive income and that's crazy stuff. So you start a YouTube channel, you find out what your passion is. What is it that you love to do? What is it that you love to do? Let me know in the chat what you love to do. Some people love cooking, some people love to play a certain sport or a certain activity or maybe you're like crafting, maybe you're like, who knows what you like? Quilting, I don't know, right? But whatever it is, you make a YouTube channel. You do videos on it. Hey, bonbon, welcome to the chat and welcome to the live stream. Thanks for stopping by. So you make YouTube videos on the subject of what it is and whenever you're using in the video, you put links to it in the description and people click the links and affiliate links and you get a small commission as they buy these things. It's great stuff. Yep. So anyway, this thing is great. I use it. I carry with me at work all the time and in a pinch for what I need to take a quick video and I wrap it around fences. I wrap it around poles and it's really cool and you can't beat the price. You know, as a matter of fact, buy two of them because you never know, right? You always, you're always going to need something. The next one is the selfie stick that I love. This one was sent to me for free to review, right? A lot of the stuff, most of the stuff, almost all the stuff so far is stuff that I bought myself that we're going to go through some things that were sent to me for free to review and I'm going to give you my honest review on it and some of the things I'm not going to tell you. I'm just going to play videos of me using it so you can get the feel for it yourself. But this selfie stick is great. Ergonomic handle, right? It's got the remote control here that I love because the remote control, first of all, it's Bluetooth to your phone or your camera and it's in the cradle, okay? So you can't lose this thing. That was always the problem with all the other remote controls I have. I've got like six or seven remote controls from different tripods and you never know which one goes to what, right? So this one goes to this one and it fits right in the cradle. Perfect. Love it. Can't beat it, right? It's got the tripod that falls out. The telescoping to 48 inches and wherever you stop, that's where it is. You don't have to screw it tight. You don't have to tighten it up. This thing is amazingly, I just love it, right? Another thing I like about it is the clamp on here. You know, most of the times like this one here, it's spring loaded, right? And I'm always feeling like it's going to go snap and flying away. This one is a clamp. You screw it down on top of the phone. Hold on a second. Mute button. Did the mute button work? Okay. And you clamp it down right on there and clamp it on the phone and it works just, I love it. I love this thing. This is in the one video I showed you of me vlogging. I was using this. I'll show it to you quick, but you can't see it. So it's really a waste. Testing one, two, three. We're testing the Boya Mic, Boya Mic Shotgun Mic. I got it connected to my 4K camera and I have it on my vlogging rig and we're outside. You might be able to hear the birds. So I don't know if you noticed that. So right in the middle, I decided it was too close and I just went like that and pulled it and it was perfect to stay right where it was. You know, I mean, it's a great, great little item and look at the price of this thing. I mean, you would expect this to be $30, all right? You would expect it to be a lot more. Text law is a great, great item. I love it. Love this thing. Get one today. So audio is going to be like the first thing you want to upgrade when you want to be a content creator, when you're going to be on YouTube or TikTok or making videos or whatever you're going to do, right? Instagram reels. The first thing you're going to do is upgrade your audio. Now this audio, this microphone was one of my first upgrades, okay? Don't laugh. It's the wired microphone, lapel microphone, everybody. This is like from the year of the flood, right? Moses had this microphone, right? And I use this microphone in almost all my videos because I don't have to move around. I stand still and this thing still gives me the best sound. You know, a lot of times when the microphone's away, you get an echo and things are bouncing off the wall because it's, you know, it doesn't have whatever reason, right? So this gives me a better sound because it's right here under even if I went wireless, right? I'd still have to have this mic pinned to me here, right? So I just have this and this 10 foot accord out to the camera and I stand there and do my review videos. This thing is great. And look at the price. It's crazy. I mean, you can spend hundreds of dollars on microphones and we're going to go through some right now. But I'm telling you, I use this one in almost everyone. Yeah, and everyone that I'm in the studio, I'm using this one as I'm standing still at the table doing the review video, right? Sometimes the cheapest is the best, right? For sure. But I have some other microphones. Toner sent me a bunch of microphones to check out and test and this one is the 777. I'm going to play me using it. This is me using the 777. It's not a bad microphone. Price is pretty good. Price is a good price. Okay, today we're talking budget microphones. We're reviewing a couple of budget microphones. Toner sent me a couple of budget microphones to review. They sent them to me for free. So full disclosure. This one is the TC777. We're using it right now. We're recording with it right now. Came with a desk stand, tripod stand, the microphone, a shock mount and a pop filter all pretty much assembled. Comes with a two-year warranty right there on the box, two-year warranty. And how does it sound? How does the audio sound? There's no adjustments on the microphone. There's no cough button or mute button. There's no volume control. There's no gain control. So you're pretty much stuck with what you got. Oh, sorry. Bon Bon follow. Thanks, man. Got to do a little tone of microphone. That one, a nice little microphone for the price. And you know, what do you need the microphone to do? Now I had that, I had that about arms length away, right? About arms length away, I had that microphone. So you can see, and when I picked it up and put it by my mouth, it sounds fine, right? So what do you need the microphone to do? Are you trying to do the whole room? Are you doing a voiceover? Are you doing interviews? Are you able to sit with the microphone at arms length away and you can talk directly into it? This microphone will do the job, right, at the price, right? You heard it, right? So now we're going to go to the next tone of microphone, which is the TC30. I think it is the TC30. Let me look down here. Where is it? The TC30, okay? Now this one is a little more expensive. I'm going to let you listen to it now. Okay, today we're talking budget microphones, okay? We're talking about the Toner TC30 USB condenser microphone. The plug-and-play microphone doesn't take any softwares. It's got a 2U warranty coming with it right here. 2U warranty comes in a nice box. It comes with a tripod, a shock mount, the pop filter, and the microphone, and of course the wire. It comes with a good length of wire, and we're listening to it right now, okay? So that's the Toner microphone TC30. Budget microphone quality, there's no mute button on there, no cough button, no gain control, no gain knob, nothing like that. There's no button on-off switch on it. There's no volume control. It's just a straight microphone. I don't know, what do you think? I'm going to pull it up and show you. You've been listening to it right now. So there it is, the Toner TC30. TC30, let's pull the cord out. Now there, that's how it sounds from the back of the microphone. This is how it sounds from the side of the microphone, and this is how it sounds from the front of the microphone. Now this is a top microphone. It picks up from the top, not the side, like the Blue Yeti. We'll pick it up from the side. This one will pick it up from the top, all right? And like I said, it's got the shock mounts with the desk tripod. Pretty good microphone. What is the Toner TC30, okay? There you go, okay? So the TC30, not a bad little microphone. Again, you're talking into it, but these things don't have any bells and whistles. There's no buttons on. There's no volume control. There's no mute button. There's none of that kind of stuff, right? So we're going to go to the next one, the Toner Q9, I think it is, the Q9. Let's watch the Q9, and I'm writing people's names down on the wheel of names, so I'll let you guys know. We'll go to the wheel of names after this, and if your name's not there, let me know. We'll put it on there. Okay, today we're talking budget microphones, okay? We're talking about the Toner TC30, USB condenser microphone. It's a plug-and-play microphone. It doesn't take any softwares. It's got a two-year warranty coming with it right here, two-year warranty. It comes in a nice box. It comes with a tripod, a shock mount, the pop filter, and the microphone, and of course, the wire. It comes with a good length of wire, and we're listening to it right now, okay? So that's the Toner microphone TC30, budget microphone quality. There's no mute button on there. No cough button, no gain control, no gain knob, nothing like that. There's no button on or off switch on it. There's no volume control. It's just a straight microphone. I don't know, what do you think? I'm going to pull it up and show you. You've been listening to it right now, so there it is, the Toner TC30. Let's pull the cord out. Now there, that's how it sounds from the back of the microphone. This is how it sounds from the side of the microphone, and this is how it sounds from the front of the microphone. Now this is a top microphone. It picks up from the top, not the side, like the Blue Yeti. We'll pick it up from the side. This one will pick it up from the top, all right? And like I said, it's got the shock mounts with the desk tripod. Pretty good microphone. We're using the Toner TC30, okay? Let's go away for it to start over again, because Blake just followed. All right, man, that's great. So we're going to share the screen here, read our names. Okay, we're going to see some names on there. Hey Eric, how you doing, man? Welcome to the stream. We're going to put Eric in there. Oh, I didn't realize that's covering my whole thing there. No good. No good. No good. All right, that's enough of that. So we're sharing the screen so you can see the names on there. Boston Butterfly. Welcome, Boston Butterfly. How you doing? Can I add, I think I got you, Jen. I think I got you. I put my glasses on you. Jennifer, I got you, right? You see it? Okay, there you are. And Boston, we're going to put you in. I hate wearing the glasses, man. I hate it. I'm in denial. I'm in denial of the glasses. In denial of the glasses, okay? But I was supposed to go to a house and address 1B. I went to 18 rang the bell and I'm standing out there and the guy's like, did you mean 1B? I was like, shit. Yeah, it was 1B, not 18. I think I know. Yeah, Tim was talking about Facebook Marketplace and yeah, it's tough. It's a tough deal but there are people that make money doing it. Sonny, how are you? How are you doing? How are you doing? How are you doing, Son? Welcome to the live stream, Son. We're going to add you to the Wheel of Names. You want to be added to the Wheel of Names? There you go. You are added to the Wheel of Names. We can show you right there. You can add it. There you are. You're right on there. Right on there. You're in. Did I play the Q9? I don't remember. I think I did. Did I play the Q9? The Q9 has some bells and whistles on it. The Q9 has a mute button but it doesn't have an LED button where you can tell that it's muted or not. It's also got the arm for the table. When you're ready to upgrade to the new microphone, which is going to be the next one, it's a really good microphone, you still have the arm and you can just upgrade it to the microphone. You can still use the boom arm for the desk and keep that out of the way. The next one, Toner sent me, now they sent me all four of these microphones for free to test. You've got to realize what the price is and what you're getting and what you need to do. When you're starting out, what do you need it to do and what can you afford? Then you're going to upgrade. The Toner Orca 001. This one has some bells and whistles to it. It has some things to it. It's pretty cool. I like it. Where is it? There it is. Listen to this. Hey, how are you doing? We're going to be talking about microphones. Toner is a company, a good company. They have a lot of good products. They sent me some things for free to test out. They sent me this, the Toner Orca 001 USB microphone. So it's a plug-and-play microphone. You plug it into your computer, your phone, PS4, PS5, your laptop, anything like that. It works. It's got an adapter to go to the phone, type C adapter. You can plug it right into your phone. Yeah, pretty cool microphone. We're using it right now. I got it sitting on the desk about an arms length away. About an arms length away. There it is. The Toner Orca 001. I'm pretty happy with this. I'm going to pull it over here so you can see it. I was very impressed with the microphone. It's pretty cool. Now it's got lights over here. That's the volume button. It's in the green. I can lower it down. The volume goes down. Or I can put it up. You can go all the way up into the red, but you don't want it in the red. You want to keep it in the green in the sweet spot right in the green. This button here is the noise cancellation button. You push that for noise cancellation. The top is just a tap. It's not a button. You just tap it and it's a mute. You just go and you tap it and then it's back on. So I'm going to show you again. So you tap it, then you tap it again and the light goes on and you're good to go. Pretty cool piece of equipment. It sits there on the desk. Now it's got the shock mount on it already. It comes already assembled and you can put this on the scissor on the boom arm that clips to the desk or wherever you've got it hanging from the ceiling or whatever. Pretty cool microphone. I'm going to, that's up too high. How's that? That's probably that's in the sweet spot of the green. So you can tell when you get your lows in the red, it's in the yellows and then you go up to the red. So what do you think? Okay. So I'm using the phone and I got the Toner, the Orca 001 plugged into my phone with the adapter that comes with it. I got it sitting on the desk again about an arms length away and I'm using the cell phone camera and I got it plugged into the bottom of the cell phone through the Type-C jack in the bottom of the cell phone. So that's pretty cool. It comes with a Type-C adapter right on the wire for the microphone. You plug it right into your phone. That's pretty handy if you're using your phone camera and you want to upgrade your audio first, which is very important upgrading your audio. And hey, Robin, I appreciate it. I added you to the wheel of names. Let me see you there. You're right over there. Wheel of names. You're on there. Okay. Now, I'm not having you play games like last week, but I would appreciate it if you would click through the carousel and just browse around. Check out the bells and whistles Amazon has. After all, we're here to shop. This is shop attainment. And the purpose to be here is to start shopping. I'm not saying buying. There's difference between shopping and buying. If you want to buy it, if you like it, buy it. If you need it, buy it. But shopping is the name of the game. And if you're clicking buttons and looking around and seeing what this does and what that does, and you know, it helps the algorithm and it helps me. It helps. I don't know what it helps. It helps me. It helps me somehow, for sure. Now, the next few things I have in the carousel are things that are on my wish list. I got a thing of resistance bands and I want to start using them. I'm starting, you know, getting into some fitness and stuff like that. So the life-pro folding exercise, this one's falling. I was wondering if anybody had anything like this, a foldable one. Because, you know, for me, I got the under desk cycle that you put under the desk and you just work at your desk and do under the desk. I have that. But this one is foldable. I was wondering, you know, where do you think something like that? Is that something that you would think would, you know, I'd hate to be on it and it would be collapsing on it? I'm sure it wouldn't. You know, you click through into the carousel and look, see the reviews and see if there's any issues with this thing. Life-pro folding exercise bike. It's got three, it's got four stars. It's got eight reviews, okay? Which means it could be good or bad. Eight reviews could be just that it's a new item. It's got four stars, right? So you don't know. Yeah, Gina. So it's not, you know, again, the folding part, you know, scares me. Getting on a folding bicycle scares me. You know, because the whole point of going on the bicycle is to lose weight. So you're taking into consideration that you might be a little overweight, getting on the bike at the first, you know, in the first place, you know, Angelica. No, I don't think you are at it. Let me go over here. No. Okay, I think that's it. I'm going to share it. I put it on there for you. Oh, so, okay. Yeah, 150 bucks. What, okay. What is there? Like a coupon or something on there? Is there a coupon when you click through for that? That'd be, you know, of course, space. That's awesome. That's awesome. I didn't know there was a coupon for it. So, you know, space is always a $15 coupon. That's a big coupon. $50 coupon is a big coupon. I didn't know that. I wish I would have known there was a $50 coupon. But, you know, you're living in an apartment, maybe, or even you're living in a house, you know, space to work out. So you want something that folds, maybe you can stick in the closet, stick on, where I don't know if it'll stick under the bed, you know, but that's awesome. $50 coupon, man. That's great. Imagine something you like and you click on it and there's a $50 coupon. Wouldn't that make your day? That would make my day, you know, something that you wanted to buy and you're like, maybe, I don't know, maybe I'll buy it. But, you know, it's almost $200. Oh, it's a $50 coupon. Geez. What do we got to lose, you know? So, I mean, the $50 coupon would be a good coupon for something like that. Don't you think? I mean, that's a quarter of the price. That's a quarter of the price. Life Pro, they also have these adjustable dumbbells. I see a lot of people using these adjustable dumbbells, right? And I mean, I'm thinking about getting them because it's easy to adjust it to move up as you're getting more and more, you know, weight-wise, you know, getting stronger, you know, you want to adjust them. And I think there's a coupon on this one too. It is like, it's like 30% off. But, you know, oh, Secret Shopper started following. Now, we don't know who the Secret Shopper is. Secret Shopper could be a spy from Amazon. It could be a spy from Amazon. They could be spying on us right now, Amazon. But we're going to tell you what, we're going to give them the benefit of the doubt. We're going to hang the curtains and turn on the music. And we're going to welcome them. You're not a spy. I'm only kidding. I'm only kidding. I appreciate you following me. It's always awesome. I'm not sure why it says Amazon Shopper. It's probably something on your end. Maybe you've got some privacy settings there on or something. But that's cool. You're welcome here. It's great stuff. You know, I'm always worried, not worried, but wondering if there's an Amazon moderator out there listening, you know, and maybe, you know, $40 coupon on the way. Now, again, see, that's, that's, those are real coupons. That's really crazy. That's really crazy. I love that. I love that. You know, I always say I'm going to work out and then I don't. I'm going to buy these things and they're going to sit in the corner. You know, I got an exercise bike over there. I got things over there. I got the bands in the other room. And time, it's not that I don't want to. It's time. Who wants to get up an extra an hour early in the morning to do that? Or, you know, waste your lunch hour doing that? Or, you know, it's too much to do when you get out of work, right? It would be a great job to work for Amazon. The Amazon secret shopper spy would be a great, a great, a great job to have. I'm sure, I'm sure that, I'm sure that's a six-figure job for sure. Right. This I put in there because I think it's so cool. Okay. I'm a dog lover. Okay. I don't know if you guys love dogs. If you're a dog lover, you know, give me a high five in the chat. The life pro dog treadmill. Did you even know they had stuff like this? A treadmill for dogs and you put your dog on a treadmill. I mean, I'm tempted. I live in a house. We have a yard, fenced in yard for the dog, but that's just too cool. That's just that thing is just too cool. Yeah. Who doesn't love dogs? Okay. In my day job, I'm a pest control technician and I go like 20 houses a day doing, doing service calls. And the best part of the job is meeting the dogs. I used to carry milk bones with me, but somebody complained. So I stopped, but, you know, meeting the dogs was the greatest part of, you know, the greatest part of the job is meeting the dogs. I can't say that enough. It's great stuff. You know, I, the family dog, we had to put down after 11 years of cancer, you know, it was traumatizing. We said, we were never going to get another dog. And then a rescue dog came into our lives. And how do you turn, how do you say no to a rescue dog? Right? Um, is there, there's a genre available for AVS for monitoring the video creators available? And I'm sure there is, you know, um, apply, apply to it. I wonder what the requirements are. I wonder what kind of college degree or maybe you don't need to college degree. Maybe you need to be some kind of social media guru or, you know, somebody like that, who knows all about that stuff, you know, but yeah, they need to do some moderation. They definitely do need to because there are rules and people don't follow rules and no one, no one's catching them. No one's saying, hey, don't do that no more. You know, um, but the dog, the dog treadmill just killed me. That just killed me. You know, that's, I mean, if I was in an apartment and I had the dog, you don't have to go out in the rain to walk the dog in the snow to walk the dog. You put them right on there. Um, bachelor's degree in two years of experience in media. You see? So there you go. I wonder what does it say, what the salary range is working for Amazon. Be a sweet deal. You know, epic fail. Is that your name? Epic fail? Totally agree here. Some are crazy. And I was told some of my personal email secrets. Yeah, it doesn't show. I don't know. I don't know this epic fail. Your name or is that something that Amazon is doing? I don't know. Let me know. That's great because I can put you in. So I'm going to put if I put the secret shopper in the, in the, in the wheel of names, right? Let me put the secret shopper and how am I going to, you're going to have to send me your email. You'll see if you win. And then epic fail. I'm sure that your name because that's pretty cool. Okay. So it's your email. Epic fail. That's hilarious. But it's a cool name. That's a pretty cool name. So I got you in there as epic fail and I got secret shopper in there as secret shopper. Okay. And we're going to go through. We're almost done with the car. So what do we got? We got, we got about 10 minutes left. So pretty cool. Yeah. The dog, the dog thing, you know, that's pretty crazy that the dog treadmill. So this, the last one, the life pro, last high life pro stuff was the home gym. And like I told you, I got the resistance bands. That's more my speed resistance bands. And they have this home gym for the resistance bands. I'm thinking about getting that, you know, because you got to have some kind of anchor for the bands, you know, and I realized around the house, all my doors are situated where I don't have a good spot to really work out in. That's private, you know, there's not like in the middle of the living room with some crazy place, you know. So I got to figure something out for that. So, but with this gym thing, I could probably move around, put it wherever I wanted in the house and I'd have an anchor for the bands, you know, because you got to do like the flies. You're doing the flies and all that. You're sticking on the door and everything. So, but you got to have space because you got to have resistance. You got to have tension. You got to have more tension. Pay more good tension. Pay more good tension. That's crazy, right? Pay more good tension. Pay more good tension in the stream. Deathwish Coffee is the last thing in the stream, last thing in the carousel. Deathwish Coffee. I still have some in here. World Strongest Coffee, right? Never better. This thing is the best coffee. Oh, and I'm the Jabba Junkie. I drink coffee all day long. I drink the worst coffee. Deathwish is the best. Everybody wants the more caffeine, right? You know, the monster energy drink, the red bull. Everybody wants the jolt. Everybody wants more caffeine, right? But with coffee, it would give you that bitter taste. It would give you that stink, where you get that stink to it and it was always no. So, this is how they get your information when you win. You're going to email me at jimteamon at gmail.com. So, you're going to email me there. The winner's going to email me there and then I'm going to email them back from that email, the gift card, okay? So, that's how that's going to work, just up on the up and up, all right? Don't all start emailing me because it's only going to be the winner. I'm going to vich out so it's only going to be the winner. Robin, you got the bag today. Oh, the Deathwish. Did you have any yet? Did you have any yet? I'm telling you, you're going to love it. You're going to love it. I'm telling you, it's delicious stuff. It is good stuff. So, yeah. Any questions about anything that I was talking about or any products that were in there? Because this is, like I said, shop retainment. Shop retainment. So, you're supposed to come on, have a question, you know, and I'm supposed to be able to answer your question, you know, and figure that out. So, you want to know something about, I don't like Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Am I like the only person in the world that don't like Dunkin' Donuts coffee? I mean, I, a lot of times it tastes burnt to me and it's always too hot, right? So, that's, so like I got to wait for it to cool off and I'm the Java junkie. I can't wait for my coffee, you know? So, Salimo brand pods. I can check those out. I can check those out. But again, I'm the Java junkie. So, I didn't tell you the story. If you were on the live stream last week, you heard the story of Detwitch Coffee and what happened to them. So, I'm in Upstate New York, right? They're a local company around Lake New York and they won a contest to have a Super Bowl ad. This was like in 2015, right? 2016 maybe it was. And imagine being a company on small business and you win a contest to have a Super Bowl ad. Do you have any idea what that is? I don't know if you guys know what a Super Bowl ad, what that is. That's like a million dollar ad, right? And you get it and that's like the holy grail of advertising is to have a Super Bowl ad because everybody in the country is watching it, right? So, they have, they win the contest, they have this 30 second ad for Detwitch Coffee and what do you think happens? They blow up but they have the coffee to back it up. It is, it is the smoothest, strongest coffee you're ever going to have and, you know, come back next week and call me a liar. But you're not going to, you're going to love it. You're going to love it, you're going to love it and they have, right now they have the pumpkin out. Like everybody has the pumpkin. I can't, I don't like pumpkin, right? Sorry, I don't like it. I'm an Apple guy, right? The blueberry, I really liked. The blueberry they had, I stick, if you just look where you probably still can get the blueberry. So, oh, it's an Amazon brand. So, Amazon has some good stuff, but Amazon, what they do is they buy other brands and they make it their own. So, you know, so it better be, I think it was like 20 bucks for the pounds, right? Come back and tell me. You tell me. You tell me if you like it or not like it, okay? And hopefully maybe you'll win the gift card and it'll be free, right? That'll be cool, right? So, we got, well, how much time we got? We got about a minute to the drawing. So, I'm going to put it here so everybody can see. Can you see your name in there? Make sure your name's in there. Can you see it? I think everybody's in there. We are going to spin the wheel. Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Secret Shopper 1. Oh my God. All right. Secret Shopper. Are you still here? You're still here, right? Are you still here? Secret Shopper. Going once. Epic fail. Yay, he's here. Okay, he's here. All right, so we're going to back out of this. I'll remove this. Hey, thanks for playing. I appreciate everybody coming to the live stream this week. We go live every Tuesday, 8 p.m. Every Tuesday, 8 p.m. So, I'm going to put my email up there for you, Secret Shopper. So, yeah. Now, don't everybody email me and tell me you're the Secret Shopper, okay? We're going to have to have some kind of keyword or some kind of code word, okay? So, you know, that I know that it's you, right? Because anybody can email me and tell me you're the Secret Shopper, right? Right? So, hopefully the email says Secret Shopper in email. I mean, I don't know, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. No, I don't think that. I don't think that. I don't think it's the last one because let me see. Epic fail was the last one. So, it was one of the last ones, but I don't think that. Let's remove it and spin it again. Let's see. Is that going to make people mad if I do that? All right. So, that ended up being Gina one. Let me share the screen so you can see what happened. That was bad that I did that because now Gina's going to be mad if she's still here, right? So, Gina won that second time and she was second on the list, okay? So, I don't know if that makes a difference. So, if Secret Shopper wasn't here, we would have done it again. Let's see what happens if we do it a third time. So, then it was Angelica, which was at the bottom. All right. So, it's kind of random. I would say it's random. So, yeah, you can screenshot your personal Amazon profile, but I don't want to get any personal information or anything like that from you. But we're going to go on the Honor System. Everybody in here, I'm sure, is Honor System. Most of you guys have been in the stream last week and this week. I've been live, coming up on a year, I've been going live on Tuesdays at 8 o'clock since last October, right? So, I'm glad you guys are coming around. I've been playing to an empty room most of the time. So, I'm glad to have some people in the room. Welcome back. Welcome. I'm glad to have you. I'll see you next Tuesday. I'm going to check my emails and take care of that for you, Secret Shopper. It should be within the hour. You should get it. Okay? It takes a little time. If you don't get it right away, it takes a little time. All right? In the meantime, enjoy this little snippet. Take care, everybody. Goodbye, Gina.
