AI Summary
This live stream workshop covers the host's camera gear, streaming strategies, and goals for 2026. He discusses the importance of using AI for creative improvement, shares advice on photo and video quality, and compares streaming platforms like YouTube, Kick, and Twitch.
Chapters
Host starts the stream late, talks about taking the day off for family, and mentions preparing taxes and selling items.
He bought the Sony A75 ($3000 body) to reignite his creativity, as he misses creating content beyond streaming. He plans to use it for YouTube videos and shoots with Joe Wo.
Kick struggles with harassment due to lack of moderation technology. The host has to use follower-only mode and account age restrictions to block trolls. He advises viewers to use YouTube as a hub until Kick improves.
YouTube gets about a third of Kick's viewership, but Kick's numbers seem inflated. The host prefers YouTube for its tools and reliability.
Only take advice from creators who can show proof of success in the area they're talking about. Similar to fitness: don't listen to someone who has never achieved the results you want.
Host shows his Sony FX3, ZV1, FX30, and A75. Explains he wants a hybrid camera for photo and video to enhance creativity. Recommends investing in gear for long-term career transition.
4K is overrated for streaming; most viewers don't see it due to compression and internet speeds. 1080p high frames often look better. Don't stress about 4K unless you're a major brand.
Beyond 120Hz, the human eye can't perceive significant differences. Many gamers mistake placebo for real improvement. It's common for people to unknowingly run their monitor at lower settings.
The host uses Moonlight to stream from gaming PC to stream PC via Ethernet, achieving higher bandwidth than HDMI. Many users accidentally downscale their resolution without realizing it.
Using an old capture card or HDMI cable can cap your frame rate without you knowing. Always check your actual display settings.
OLED provides a life-changing image quality; once you go OLED, IPS looks muddy. However, for professional color grading, IPS still has advantages. Burn-in can be fixed with pixel cleaning.
Streaming HDR content is messy; OBS conversion doesn't look true. To show HDR quality, you'd need a powerful rig and stream only to YouTube at 4K, which is impractical for most.
Three PC setups are for creators like Iceman Isaac who produce high volume across multiple channels. For most, a single PC or dual setup is sufficient. The host himself is considering going back to single PC.
The host uses his FX30 to take photos, proving that gear isn't the limitation. He encourages Miller to take more photos, post daily in January, and use AI to critique and improve.
Using AI (e.g., ChatGPT) to analyze thumbnails or photos gives instant, actionable feedback. AI searched 290 sources to provide tips. The host believes AI adoption is crucial for 2026.
He uploads a thumbnail to ChatGPT, which points out lack of contrast, unclear expression, and busy background. Then he demonstrates quick edits in Photoshop to improve it.
The host emphasizes using AI as a tool to accelerate creative growth and advises against overthinking gear specs like 4K and high refresh rates. The key to improvement is consistent practice and seeking constructive feedback from credible sources.

[03:32] have had it's kind of another reason why I got the Sony A75. I got the Sony A75. Um I have had just such an itch over the last couple Oh man, I'm trying to think how long
[03:46] like the kick stuff happened and it veered me in kind of a different direction, I've always had uh I've always had the um I don't I don't get to create as much anymore. I don't get to be as creative
[03:59] anymore uh with the the amount of time that we spend streaming. And I miss that that we spend streaming. And I miss that creativity so [ __ ] much, dude. So creativity so [ __ ] much, dude. So much. Oh my god. Sup, Sensei? I miss
[04:13] that creativity so much. So, I felt like, well, if I get the Sony A75, maybe I'll lock it in a little bit more this year because it's not a cheap camera. This is a $3,000 camera body alone. Stack it with a [ __ ] another $3,000
[04:29] lens and everything that needs to go on it, you know? I I don't like the idea of a, you know,5 $6,000 paper weight just sitting around. I want to use this [ __ ] man. I want to do something with it. And dude, ironic timing. talked to Joe Wo
[04:43] dude, ironic timing. talked to Joe Wo and Joe's got his uh setup um his setup kind of or done his new basement set up and I'm like, "Joe, do you want to [ __ ] record a setup video?" And he's like, "Yeah." I'm like, "This is [ __ ]
[05:00] perfect, man. This is [ __ ] perfect." So, I don't know today or tomorrow. At there and checking out things and getting an idea. But oh, dude, I'm I'm just so excited to like get behind the camera a little bit, man. Get get behind
[05:16] the camera a little bit. I might uh I might vlog it, too. I might do a little might vlog it, too. I might do a little vlog, a little day in the life. that's a good one, man. I can finally ditch the cheap That's Are you talking
[05:30] about the yellow one? The cheap $20 Amazon one? Are you talking about that yellow one with the little like footprint like where it looks like a foot on the pedal? Are you talking about that?
[05:43] 3 weeks since I've streamed on kick verified channel but it does but it says I don't have payments activated when I'm verified and my ID and everything. So I think it's just cuz I need to stream um
[05:57] No, that sounds like a Stripe thing. That sounds like That sounds like you don't have your Do you have your stripe set up? Do you have your stripe set up, brother? Holy [ __ ] my hair is going back so
[06:10] [ __ ] fast. Do you have your stripe set up? thing. But yeah, I I unfortunately I don't work at Kick, so I I have no idea to help
[06:24] you. I'll get in front of the camera for you. I bet you guys will. Yeah, I bet you guys will. swapped over to YouTube as per instructions. Yeah, brother. Uh as per instructions. Yeah, brother. Uh listen, Kick has just been um I I've got
[06:37] I've got a lot of hopes for this place. They are in this transitional phase They are in this transitional phase though where like because of how it's hard to explain because of how open they try to be like
[06:50] freedom of whatever they try to articulate that they are. um they're backing themselves in the corner because they don't have the technology to combat they don't have the technology to combat that. And what I mean by that is is they
[07:04] let entities entities entities they let people roam on that site that shouldn't have a brand there but they're like well you know we can't really you know freedom of yada yada yada and they're
[07:16] just like they're horrible human beings. Um, so there's like, so anybody that's not aware on, and this is on any platform, just a heads up. And, and what happens is over a period of time, they typically navigate to other places that
[07:29] give them this sense of home. Most of these people were Mixer streamers. They were Twitch streamers, but what it is is it's a group of people that like they never made a name for themselves. They never built a brand for themselves, and
[07:42] they relied on the platform to do everything for them. And over time they become bitter, right? They become angry and and they they create fictitious
[07:55] and and they they create fictitious things, scenarios as to why they're not successful. They they create elaborate things. I'm They they create elaborate things. I'm I'm shadowbanned on a platform. Um they
[08:07] they suppressed me and pushed somebody else. yada yada yada type [ __ ] Yeah. Yada yada yada. And it's and when you live in that and you blame everything else in the world for things that are in your ability,
[08:23] deeper into that. You start resenting everything. You start hating everybody. You start creating all these all these lies. And so what happens is as a platform starts and there's opportunities
[08:38] there's opportunities of that's what's happening on Kick right now. So right now because Kick is stubborn and they won't move to the states, they have a very rookie team of
[08:53] states, they have a very rookie team of developers in office in Kick um in Australia. And the reality is is they're in over their head. That's that's the head. These guys don't know what the [ __ ] they're doing over there. Um, and
[09:07] this is why they're trying so hard to get even decent developers to move from America to Australia to help out with their issue. Um, I mean guys, you're
[09:19] talking a very simple thing that I've talked to a handful of developers that they're like, "Bro, this this could have been fixed a long time ago." Uh but these people can just take advantage of these vulnerabilities on the site and uh
[09:32] they just go after [ __ ] streamers and try to make a miserable experience. This that's what's happening to us on kick. These people are targeting us and trying to create a miserable experience uh for my chat. But the thing is it only works
[09:47] on kick right now. They can't do it on YouTube. It it doesn't work on YouTube. So, for the time being, until, you know, I this, just going to use YouTube as our as our hub to conversate uh converse.
[10:03] But on the on the flip side, too, dude, YouTube's been insane. Honestly, we get maybe like a third of the viewership on YouTube that we get uh on on kick. Uh which we've always kind of speculated like kick just it seems like it has like
[10:18] an inflated inflated boost. It just it just seems weird whether it's like registering double users or or whatever it is. We we like we've always just questioned what the the view count is over there. Uh but nonetheless, dude,
[10:32] some of these YouTube streams are I mean, guys, if you're talking on kick right now, it means you've been following over a month. You're fine. You going to be people that have followed us within the last four weeks because
[10:45] that's the filter I have to have on right now to avoid these uh these harassers. That's that's and that's what they are. And it's like the second I go live, if I didn't have follower only mode for 4 weeks and account age
[10:57] restriction for one month, if I didn't have that on right now, you'd see absurd [ __ ] just being spammed on my page. At some point in the stream, you might see some point in the stream, you might see it break through because these people
[11:09] will literally follow months follow bot months in advance to troll. It's crazy.
[11:21] No, no, no. It's No, guys, it's not just you. It's not just you. This is again, this is a group of people. It's it's one group of people doing this. By the way, everybody's just joining in the cult. This is one group of people that are
[11:36] trying to take advantage of the vulnerabilities here and just Yeah. vulnerabilities here and just Yeah. [clears throat]
[11:51] I've been botted for months on kit. Yeah, it it happens. yeah, Azul, I I get it. I get it. Anyways,
[12:05] isn't a kickstream. This isn't a kickstream. I was just trying to explain to the the viewers that do like to watch on kick, if you guys are able to chat over there or you just want to watch and lurk, you guys you guys are more than
[12:17] welcome to [ __ ] hang out on kick. This isn't like a I'm forcing you guys to come to YouTube. This is just there are going to be some people that are not going to be able to talk on kick because of the restrictions that we have to have
[12:29] in place over there. So, if you cannot type there, it's like go ahead and come type there, it's like go ahead and come on over to YouTube. Anyways, MOVING ON. GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN. WE at the start of today's stream at we didn't we
[12:43] weren't even live yet. We weren't even live yet and Hosters Toaster came in with a premium member, my guy. Appreciate you. Appreciate you. Thank
[12:55] you. Thank you. In my opinion, YouTube is the place to be. I think I [clears throat] think YouTube has a lot of I think YouTube is doing a lot lot of I think YouTube is doing a lot right. I I I do. I do believe that. I
[13:09] think YouTube is doing a lot right. And the sucks about me trying to harp that is people will use me as an example. And
[13:22] I'm like, "You guys are [ __ ] morons. You have no idea how YouTube works." And this is case in point. So like I'll say, "Oh, YouTube is doing good because." And then somebody will take my channel and they'll be like, "Oh yeah, practice what
[13:35] you preach." I'm like, see this this is this is the thing about YouTube. This is other [ __ ] platforms where you can give like detailed information on something. The thing about YouTube is is
[13:48] depending on how you build your channel, you may not get the benefits of what a lot of people are getting benefits on on from on on this platform, which is where some creators will have to assess if it's worth staying on one page.
[14:02] That's the difference with YouTube. This isn't kick. This isn't Twitch. That is the difference with YouTube. People just don't understand it. Just because I'm doesn't mean that I'm not talking to content creators that have literally
[14:16] never used any other platform besides YouTube and now they're pulling 3,000 vast It's the vast difference in this industry between individuals that that um I I'm just having a brain fart of how to
[14:31] like articulate things today. It's the This is the difference between individuals that just stay watching all the time and think they learn through learn through experience of things and create real relationships with other
[14:45] content creators and actually actually are educated in how the [ __ ] works. This this this is why so biggest thing anybody should ever do like let's let's
[14:57] give it an example. Let's let's talk YouTube. Let's use my channel as an example. Yeah, right now I won't be pulling in thousands of viewers. Absolutely not. Because we have just done so much random [ __ ] on this
[15:09] channel. We have absolutely killed the ability to take advantage of one core audience. It's a 10-year-old channel with thousands of subscribers over the with thousands of subscribers over the course of 10 years, right? One second,
[15:22] guys. I'm going to close this. Hold that thought.
[15:37] Here here here's one little thing. Here's all all you need to all you need to learn. All you need to learn. If I say something about YouTube, can you can you go to my channel and see if I have proof of it? Yes, you can.
[15:52] That's it. Now, if somebody talks against it and talks [ __ ] about it and you go to their page and you can't do the same for them, there's your red flag, guys. There's
[16:05] your red flag. That's your red flag. I mean, this this analogy works for things like, you know, the fitness industry and [ __ ] You guys would not take advice from somebody who's never lost weight. You you guys would even be more inclined
[16:18] like Dany or something like that? You guys would even be more inclined to listen to somebody who has gained weight back, but you have clearly seen had a you would at least take it you would at least adhere to his advice somewhat cuz
[16:33] he's done it. He's experienced it for some reason. I don't know what causes this in the content creator space. You have people that literally cannot show any experience in anything will try to tell everybody else how shit's done.
[16:48] And for some reason, people listen. It's [ __ ] insane. It's insane. It's insane. insane. Crazy. Crazy.
[17:01] Uh, I moved up to the Sony ZV10 and I love it. The ZV10, is that the yapping about about down those things, but just I'm just trying to give you guys especially everybody that is is dealing with a lot of like the kick uh
[17:17] the kick back and forth stuff lately, the Twitch back and forth stuff lately cuz it to kicks defense to kick people streamers defense to to everybody to kick to Rumble yada yada yada. This is also a huge Twitch problem, which is
[17:32] this idea that a Twitch streamer will grow a following on Twitch and because they grew a following on Twitch, they know how to grow a following everywhere else, but yet they have f like they've never got you. You know what I mean?
[17:46] Like they've never really had real experience on YouTube, Instagram, Tik "Oh, no, Twitch is just a place to be." These are red flags everywhere, guys. These are red flags everywhere. everywhere. If somebody's trying to tell
[18:00] everywhere. If somebody's trying to tell you what to do to get a million views on platforms and they don't have a million views on anything, don't listen to them. It's really that simple. It's really that simple. You know what I'm saying? I
[18:14] I sure as hell wouldn't take advice from anyways. little bit camera and stuff. Uh I'm looking at making a move from Canon to
[18:26] Sony. I don't have too much experience with Canon personally. I am a bit of a Sony [ __ ] I'm not going to lie. Yeah, I'm a bit of a Sony [ __ ] >> All my gear is uh Sony. Hold on. I got
[18:41] to mute this. Uh there we go. I've been telling people on Twitch to lurk on YouTube since seeing the Twitch streaming stats. Yeah. Well, it's unfortunate, too, because the way that Twitch works. Well, I guess
[18:55] on Twitch but lurk to you on YouTube, you will count as analytic on YouTube.
[19:07] solely on the traffic interaction um that will force you into not being a lurker. So like example like Twitch and Kick. Twitch and Kick are like they they need you typing. They need people subscribing. They need interaction on
[19:23] themselves with their analytics and their data as to where like YouTube face Facebook even like you could just watch. It doesn't matter. Can you stream all of the platforms at the same time? Yeah, you can. I I don't I don't I just I pick
[19:38] but for some reason my live stream never go live on YouTube. Sounds like you're not setting it up correctly. I'm more annih annoyed that I have ads turned off on Twitch, but new people Well, yeah, you can't just turn ads off on Twitch.
[19:54] if you're not a a partner or affiliate on Twitch, you still ads still run on your page. It's This is This is what makes Twitch the worst platform in the [ __ ] world. By the way, Twitch is a dog [ __ ] place. Yeah. A lot of people
[20:09] over the last couple years whenever I talk about other platforms, whether been YouTube, people called me a YouTube dick writer and and then a kick dick writer. I guess I didn't want to seem like the angry man, but uh no, the reality is is
[20:24] I'm just a huge Twitch hater. Yeah, I [ __ ] I [ __ ] hate Twitch rightfully so. It's a dog [ __ ] platform. It's a a horrendous platform and the only reason it has power is because um people live in a dystopia and try to
[20:39] be positive and say, "Oh, don't be too mean about it." No, you guys all need to using the [ __ ] dog [ __ ] website. The only reason it gets power is because people still use it. If tomorrow if if everybody just started using YouTube
[20:51] tomorrow and stopped using Twitch, that place would shut down so [ __ ] fast. It has no sustainability over there whatsoever. It It is a dog [ __ ] place. Uh I am not playing Battlefield today. We're doing a little creator little
[21:05] creator uh morning creator session and uh and then we're going to go I'm going to go hang out with the fam. WHAT'S UP, MAD DOG? Good morning. Yeah. So, anyways, I wanted to I wanted to open up today's episode to just like let's let's
[21:21] talk more camera gear today. Let's talk gear and in and tech today. I I don't I where that starts. Um Um I grabbed my Sony A75 that I just got.
[21:35] Figured I would kind of go into why I got it for 2025. And then if you guys were like, "Hey, this is this is this situation. This is that situation. What should I get? Uh, we can do that." Am I logged on to Amazon, too?
[21:53] Uh, no. Nobody has contracts on Twitch or Kick. That's that that's all false advertisement. No, nobody has contracts anymore. The only thing that you get uh on um kick is you get fasttracked into the partner program which anybody can
[22:08] achieve. And the only thing on Twitch is you can get a higher subs split which is 7030. Um which anybody can also theoretically get as well by getting more subs. There there's no such thing as contracts anymore. There's no such
[22:23] because they're getting a a million dollars a year. It doesn't exist.
[22:37] logged in. Um I was going to also too I was going to put any camera stuff that we talked about at the bottom of the the put it in the video. Backtrack if your partner on
[22:50] views, etc. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not it's not apparently it's not all as it as it seems. It's not just an easy um if you have followers on one place, it'll just automatically get you get you into it. But even still, at that rate, like
[23:04] you still got to pull the the metrics and the views and everything and and whatnot. So, it is what it is. Yes, you can using multiream softwares or platform like reream or meld. Oh, you talking about
[23:17] reream or meld. Oh, you talking about the multiream, dude. The a uh aos I thought it was the Osmos camera has been great for a budget. I got like 4K. it's pretty dumb. Are you Is that the one that does the where it will do the
[23:32] one that does the where it will do the tracking?
[23:48] What is that? How you spell it? Is that how you spell it? a spot. Okay. I was like, why does that sound God damn it? I like why does that sound weird?
[24:07] that sounds [ __ ] weird. Yeah, you're talking about uh You're talking about this guy, right?
[25:02] uh, as we talk about everything, I'm going to create a What can I get this connected to? I wish I could DM myself on Discord. Is that a thing? Can you do that? Or here. I'll know. I know what I'll do. I'll put
[25:15] it in my staff chat. Yeah, I'll put it in my staff chat. That's what I'll do. Basic. I want to be able to uh get all the links for everything. Uh but I'm not currently logged in to uh Amazon, so that way like
[25:29] none of my information can be seen while I'm on stream. something to where um if like later on in the video or the VOD
[25:45] what are they talking about? I want to I want to be able to get a get a list for want to be able to get a get a list for that. Gotcha. Gotcha. Hey Tails. Hey with all due respect brother. This isn't a like I
[26:00] your own man. Figure that out on your own.
[26:12] Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Do you have this one or the other one?
[26:31] I want to see some like quality from that.
[26:52] Tenny too light, but it's 4K will cr But it's 4K will crash my PC. Like the second you switch to 4K in OBS. Well, what do you got in your PC, too,
[27:04] Asha that it's very good to point? Okay, here here's the thing that about cameras and [ __ ] because I know this year there's probably going to be this year there's probably going to be some people that want to upgrade. Dude,
[27:17] some people that want to upgrade. Dude, the amount of people that stress about 4K and it like that example right there. and it like that example right there. You You guys like 4K is still so far
[27:32] You You guys like 4K is still so far away from being the regular away from being the regular 4070 Ti Super. everything? Sounds like you have something optimized
[27:46] poorly. Yeah, most You're right. Most things don't even support 4K. Most things don't even support 4K, boys. Most of the time, like, dude, even when you're sitting at your home, I know this is going to really upset some people.
[27:59] You guys know how for like Black Friday or for the holiday, you got that your or for the holiday, you got that your nice new big 70inch [ __ ] TV that's [ __ ] 4K OLED backlit [ __ ] 120 hertz can show nipples [ __ ] two miles
[28:14] away. You guys know all that. And then you get so excited. Yo, I I can't wait to binge watch Stranger Things for the next few hours to give me no [ __ ] direction as to why I'm watching this goddamn TV show anymore. and you're
[28:28] gonna watch it in 4K." Do you guys realize that like half of you in here realize that like half of you in here aren't even watching that in 4K?
[28:42] 4K is like one of the biggest [ __ ] lies. 4K streaming.
[28:54] of the biggest lies that you guys have ever got o over the last few years. Most of you guys aren't watching I can't say most of you guys I I don't know your situations. I don't know if you got fiber and and whatnot, but if
[29:09] you like dude, especially if you're using Wi-Fi on just like halfass internet, you're you're not you're not watching [ __ ] on Netflix at 4K. All watching [ __ ] on Netflix at 4K. All these sites are
[29:22] developed. All these streaming platforms now are there to deliver watchable content at the lowest data that it needs to and it compresses everything. So it it knows based off
[29:36] your internet speed if it's too slow to actually keep up to date with 4K, it's automatically going to move it down. This is why every so often sometimes you'll see something get blurry. It's like a a a hiccup. I don't know if we
[29:50] got anybody in here that actually knows like internet talk. It's like a hiccup in the line and it's got to catch up. I to PC and learning how to optimize my PC correctly. It's a lot to learn.
[30:07] where you upload it, it's going to be dcaled to meet meet it. Yeah, 1080 compared to 4K isn't even noticeable to most people. Bingo. So, you know, that's just something to point out, too. Who was it? It was said Cody. Cody Cody
[30:21] never updated. I want to know why. It's weird that the 4K is crashing the computer, though. Either you have to have either there's a bug or a bad have either there's a bug or a bad driver or your OBS has to be riddled
[30:35] with layers upon layers of [ __ ] And then the second you the second you then the second you the second you incorporate that I think it's I think incorporate that I think it's I think it's just destroying
[30:49] it's just destroying your processing. causing overheating. I think it's something up with the uh the ospot
[31:01] software itself. At least that's what chat GBT said. I can heavily do other stuff. So it must be like Yeah, maybe their drivers or something. What's up, their drivers or something. What's up, creep? Hello. Hello. Good morning.
[31:13] So, it's got to be something on like their software, right? something on their software. Either way, dude, I've heard a lot of good things
[31:28] about this [ __ ] But I guess the point being, Cody, is just don't switch it to 4K, brother. Don't switch it to 4K. The good thing about that is too, so here's something that a lot of people don't know. Most
[31:40] likely if a camera or a webcam has a 4K sensor, that actually means that the sensor, that actually means that the 1080p is going to be better and sharper.
[31:53] so people like hear me. Just because you have 4K a 4K camera webcam camera doesn't mean you have to utilize 4K
[32:07] you will get the benefits of having the 4K even using 1080 because you majority of the time it's a bigger sensor which means the 1080 version is going to be a clear image of the sensor 1080 1080p on high frames looks way
[32:23] 1080 1080p on high frames looks way better than 4K at under uh uh 60 people overthink it way too much. Well, I I'll even caveat that. Um I'll even caveat even caveat that. Um I'll even caveat that at any resolution.
[32:36] that at any resolution. Like I I run 24 frames per second. So on stream, everything else when I play games, you'll see 60 frames per second. games, you'll see 60 frames per second. My camera, me visually, I'm at 24. I
[32:52] don't match my camera to my stream because it doesn't matter. And and this is with a lot of these things, man. Your eyes cannot perceive things past a certain point. Period. I don't give a [ __ ] what you debate. I like getting
[33:08] into the the [ __ ] super competitive nerd [ __ ] where they're like, "Oh no, dude. Oh no, dude. I know the middle of second." Brother, shut the [ __ ] up respectfully. You you you you are not bypassing ten tens of thousands of years
[33:22] bypassing ten tens of thousands of years of [ __ ] human evolution. Okay. Okay. What's up, [ __ ] You're just You're just not. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I So,
[33:34] yeah, I run my this cam right now. Yes, it's 4K, but it's at 24 frames per second as to where the rest of the stream is at 60. And then I actually stream is at 60. And then I actually play at 240.
[33:51] telling you, I'm telling you right [ __ ] now. When I upgraded from 165 to 240, dog, I didn't notice a [ __ ]
[34:03] difference. Shut the [ __ ] up. You evolve on your own time. Get the [ __ ] out of here. You tech You tech guys are all the same. I guys I didn't notice a [ __ ] difference moving from 165 htz to 240 htz. You got
[34:20] me [ __ ] up, dude. You got me [ __ ] up. These [ __ ] that go to these events and we'll test like a 500 something hertz monitor and be like, "Oh my god, I know. I see the clear difference." Placebo placebo
[34:35] placebo. But you won't notice, right? You're not going to That's the thing. You can you're you can clearly tell the you're you can clearly tell the difference between a a 60 boost to 120.
[34:48] difference between a a 60 boost to 120. Once you get past 120, 140, dude, you're gone, man. You're gone. And case in point with this, do you realize how many [ __ ] I've known across the years that upgraded to 240 Hz monitors
[35:02] and they're like, "Damn, dude, I [ __ ] see a difference. This thing is so sharp. This thing is insane." And they'd be playing like that for two months. They'd be playing like demons, too. Like they're actually good. And then one day
[35:14] playing on 60 Hz this whole entire time." You guys realize how often that happens? Do you understand how often that happens? that happens? You guys get that? It's [ __ ] insane.
[35:29] It's [ __ ] insane how often that happens. Cuz cuz then it leads you to wonder, wait, did it really ever [ __ ] matter? I know some people have done that, bro. It happens all the time. Pinch. All the time. What's up, Kyle?
[35:45] [ __ ] are doing that all the time. No, sir. I tell you right now, I can tell you right now, my eyes are way advanced, brother. My eyes are way advanced. I can see every pixel refresh rate
[35:58] rate and [ __ ] 47,000 times per second in comparison to the two 240 whatever times it actually flashes. I could see that know they're running at 60 and THEY'RE LIKE, "GOD DAMN, GIVE ME THIS THING IS
[36:12] RUNNING SMOOTH. I can see all these frames, brother." Yeah, bro. Got those Robocop cop eyes. It makes me wonder sometimes if these act if these screens actually refresh at that speed. If they actually go that fast.
[36:25] If they if they actually go in that fast or if that if they're just somehow bypassing that number to say they do and just it's giving everybody a placebo effect. YO KYLE, WELCOME TO THE MEMBERS CLUB,
[36:39] BABY. BOYS, 325 [ __ ] members on YouTube. What are doing? You guys are insane lately. This last month's been crazy. My buddy played on 60 fps for 5 months before I checking his equipment out and noticed.
[36:54] checking his equipment out and noticed. Bro, so here's the thing. So, check this Bro, so here's the thing. So, check this out. So, I'm running a 4K 240 uh hertz OLED. This monitor is beautiful. Check this out. So, here's the thing. So, I
[37:06] don't know if you guys remember. Let me go here. I don't know if you guys go here. I don't know if you guys remember a few months back I did a uh uh or last year at this point I did a tutorial
[37:19] I did a tutorial on using Moonlight to dual PC stream. Okay guys keeping up with this Moonlight. So it's it's a it's an it uses your Ethernet your internet to send this the
[37:34] signal which is you're so a lot of people don't know this. You can actually get a much higher feed from Ethernet than you ever could with HDMI. than you ever could with HDMI. So, I'm capped at uh I believe it's
[37:48] is what I can transfer from one computer to the other computer using Moonlight, this software. Right now, a caveat to this is whatever signal you send it to your to your stream PC
[38:06] when you start that moonlight signal through your internet point port whatever settings you have on gaming PC say so like on gaming PC I have it set say so like on gaming PC I have it set to where it's like give me 1440p 60fps
[38:22] give me that and that data give that encoding because I don't I don't I don't stream at 4K. So, there's no point in overloading my gaming p my streaming PC, overloading my gaming p my streaming PC, excuse me, with 4K anything past 60 uh
[38:37] FPS. So, I do 1440p 60 fps to my gaming PC or stream PC. So, Moonlight will automatically default my my gaming PC to whatever it's outputting
[38:52] to. And so I did this tutorial. We have like hundreds of people that started using Moonlight. You guys realize how many of these how many [ __ ] aren't right clicking after they hit their [ __ ] and seeing that, oh wow, it
[39:06] automatically downscales. So when I switch to Moonlight and my monitor flashes, if anybody uses Moonlight, you'll know what I'm talking about. If I you'll know what I'm talking about. If I actually want to game at 4K
[39:21] 240 fps every single time I set up Moonlight for my stream PC, I got to reset this. You guys realize how many [ __ ] have no idea that they if they have a 4K whatever and they're downscaling to 1080
[39:34] on on the Moonlight. You guys realize how many of them have no idea they're actually playing at this. The reason why this is also important, by the way, is because a lot of people don't know this, but if you if you look at something like
[39:47] but if you if you look at something like an Elgato capture card, and unless you have one of the newer versions, unless you have one of the newer unless you have one of the newer versions,
[40:04] not the max potential that you can get in a lot of situations. in a lot of situations. Most of these things have a pass through a pass through at a a certain frame rate and then they're capped. A lot of a lot
[40:19] of capture cards are. So do some of some of it's some of you guys might be affected by this by the way. Some of you guys might be running an old capture card. Some of you guys over the years you might have updated upgraded, right?
[40:33] You might have 1440 240 hertz OLED, right? And it probably still looks beautiful, but the thing is you're using an old capture card and you have no idea that what
[40:48] you're actually watching on your screen is whatever is capped based off of your is whatever is capped based off of your capture card and the HDMI cable, display port, whatever you're using. So, if you have an old HDMI cable and you have an
[41:00] have an old HDMI cable and you have an old cap capture card, the it might be capped at 120 frames per second on the capture card. So, when you're plugging it in to the capture card and
[41:12] the capture card's coming to your computer, your game computer and the other computer, but when the data is coming to your gaming computer, you don't even know that you're not running your full refresh rate on your
[41:24] [ __ ] computer. It's It's [ __ ] crazy because it basically treats your capture card like a monitor. And do you you guys realize hundreds thousands of people have no idea that
[41:39] this happens? Have no idea that this happens. PC, I want to drop my frame rate on gaming monitor to uh 120 FPS. Yeah, gaming monitor to uh 120 FPS. Yeah, enjoy that data.
[41:54] Yeah, I'd say I'd say that. Dude, OLED is insane, man. The quality that OLED is insane, man. The quality that OLED gives is [ __ ] nutty, man. What's up, brother? Merry Christmas. Going from IPS panel to OLED, though, is a big
[42:07] able to go back to IPS. I can only um So, so what's interesting I can only um So, so what's interesting about that pinch is I have IPS 4K 32 inch IPS ProArt monitor on the left. I
[42:22] inch IPS ProArt monitor on the left. I have OLED 32 inch 4K gaming monitor on have OLED 32 inch 4K gaming monitor on the right. So when I run Moonlight, I can see how big of a [ __ ] difference it is. And the only thing that I'll say
[42:35] it is. And the only thing that I'll say is if I was still doing like uh if I went down the route where I was doing very high-end videography work, I would still stick with the the IPS. However, I don't do that [ __ ] anymore. I
[42:51] don't think I could ever go back to IPS for like a hybrid. Does that make sense? get what I'm saying. I I would never go I'm never going back to IBS for like a
[43:03] stop streaming tomorrow, what would be the one monitor that I would use moving forward? It would be this 32 inch 4K OLED because I can just switch it to sRGB mode when I edit and then switch it back to FPS. uh when I game and the
[43:19] color difference is [ __ ] insane. However, if I was really really wanting to color grade and I was really wanting to see all the colors, all the lights, all the blacks, uh I would go back to using the IPS because I it it it
[43:34] using the IPS because I it it it [clears throat] explain it. I don't have I don't know how to conceptualize the words of like what the OLED looks like in comparison. But also to be to be fair, the monitor
[43:49] I'm talking about is it's a it is literally a Asus ProArt 32-in 4K color calibrated. This this monitor, the monitor that I'm comparing to is
[44:02] monitor that I'm comparing to is literally made for photo and video to have like the most accurate colors, lights, darks, yada yada yada.
[44:18] Yeah, but out like I'm talking Yeah. Pinch. I'm saying I'm saying like me and you getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to [ __ ] pixel peep and color create color grade. I ain't never going down that path. I'm never
[44:34] going down that path. So for me, for an all-in-one, bro, I can never go. Anybody in here not experienced OLED yet? It's [ __ ] life-changing. [ __ ] life-changing. Yeah. O OLED is [ __ ] insane.
[44:49] Yeah. O OLED is [ __ ] insane. It's insane. It it it's like how do you how do you how do you even put into words? put into words OLED guys? Like the difference?
[45:05] I don't even know how to like I don't know how to explain to somebody that's never experienced OLED before what they're missing out on. I guess like the most crystal clear image you're ever going to see, right? It's probably the
[45:17] best way to say. Let's let's let's put it this way. Let's put it this way. When you switch to OLED, like the best monitors, they look blurry.
[45:31] Like I It's Well, maybe the blurry is not the word. Muddy. not the word. Muddy. Yeah, dude. Bro, I play I play Yeah, dude. Bro, I play I play Battlefield 6. Red sec and Battlefield 6
[45:45] 4K OLED on high graphics settings and get like a few hundred frames a second, brother. My [ __ ] Look, I I wish
[45:57] y'all [ __ ] could see what I see. I wish y'all could see what I see. Every time I play that [ __ ] game, I'm in a [ __ ] movie. It is, dude. it like what you see in stream discredits I don't even if you're in YouTube and
[46:13] you get to see 1440p oh my god what I get to see on my [ __ ] side gaming is insane insane I just recently got OLED monitor actually 240 hertz IPS to the oh you got that one
[46:29] the one where you can switch uh so it's is it 240 at 1440p or 240 at 4K And then you can switch it to 1080 and it gives you the 500 Hz, right?
[46:43] Uh, does OLED still have the burn-in issue with today's tech? On some issue with today's tech? On some monitors it does. So my ASUS monitor um does not. Like I leave this [ __ ] on all the time.
[46:57] It does this like auto dim feature after a period of time of inactivity. And I first turned it on like the first time, it said, "Hey, to do this thing?" And I was like, "Yeah, just do whatever to to, you know,
[47:13] "Yeah, just do whatever to to, you know, save the longevity." Um, but I noticed what was it? Was it my Ultra Gear? Yeah, it was my it was my uh it was my LG 24 it was my it was my uh it was my LG 24 in 140 240 hertz
[47:27] in 140 240 hertz uh 1440p 240 Hz OLED monitor. I left my uh 1440p 240 Hz OLED monitor. I left my I left uh this I left this wallpaper on. screen and
[47:40] the the middle finger was burned into the image. But also too, what a lot of people don't uh what a lot of people don't tell you guys with that is that's like a temporary thing. You can actually most monitors past I don't know if we
[47:54] here. Maybe you can tell me the real time frame. But for the last few years, time frame. But for the last few years, most OLED monitors that are made, um, there's a a feature to where you can do like a cleaning, like where it does
[48:08] like a digital cleaning. And I did that and it got rid of the burn right within the first pass. Sometimes they say like, oh, you might Sometimes they say like, oh, you might have to do multiple passes, but
[48:20] and maybe not to maybe maybe is it called Okay, I was like, wait, is it like Yeah, it sounds like it's pixel cleaning, right? I've had LG OLED C6 for as good as any neither of my gaming
[48:34] monitors have burn-in. Yeah. So, you got one of the like originals, right? one of the like originals, right? [snorts] about OLED is it doesn't I think the toughest thing about OLED that a lot of
[48:49] it doesn't matter what brand at that point. there. Like before OLED, especially with like TN panels and IPS panels, it really mattered what brand you got. And anybody that's been around the game for a while and that edits
[49:04] knows exactly what I'm talking about. Some brands would be like cooler than calibrated modes. Some brands would be cooler, some brands would be warmer, some brands would like show more of a a
[49:16] magenta. Some would like the darks would be wouldn't be as dark, some the the blown out. When you get into OLED, you're going with. OLED just looks beautiful across the across the way.
[49:32] Especially, holy [ __ ] brother. How many people have experience this people have experience this OLED HDR, bro? BRO, THE ONLY REASON I don't The only reason I don't play in HDR is
[49:47] because of the whole like streaming [ __ ] It's It's really messy to try to stream. So, the second you switch a game to HDR and your OBS tries to capture it, it looks super [ __ ] weird. It the what you see in OBS looks weird because
[50:02] you're not cuz my OBS isn't set up for HDR. Now, OBS has a way to set up HDR, but it's not it's not true. It's like a conversion. It converts the image to
[50:14] look like to be, but it's just it's just messy. It just creates so many problems and [ __ ] So, uh, dude, yeah. See that Bri Brian knows
[50:28] exactly Yeah. Brandon that exactly what we're talking about. He has to stop stressing trying to get his stream to look like his OLED. Yeah, it's impossible, guys. It's impossible. the only way that you could successfully
[50:42] only way that you could successfully give the quality that you could perceive to OLED uh that that you perceive on OLED, especially if you're running 4K, that's the biggest thing is once you get into the 4K OLED,
[50:55] the only way is you would have to have your stream PC has to be [ __ ] insane and you you have to stream only to YouTube at 4K. That's it. You're you're not multireaming. You're not recording. Um, somebody debated with See, like
[51:13] I don't know. I don't know if we got anybody in here truly experienced, but me like, "No, dude. Like, you could easily stream 4K to YouTube, bro. I tried that shit." And now the thing is, like, I have the I
[51:30] have all this. I have this [ __ ] and [ __ ] this [ __ ] you know? I I have all this this [ __ ] going on. So stop. I have all this [ __ ] going on. So I know I have like a lot of like
[51:44] resources also like take sucking into other areas. Maybe if I just had an OBS and I just had a cam that was 1080p, not 4K because this is 4K. Uh a cam that was 1080p and just had like the gaming monitor or
[52:00] like the gaming source, maybe then I could do 4K. But like, dude, I tried to optimize my [ __ ] to just test 4K streaming so that way I could give a little bit of taste of what I was experiencing on Battlefield. Dude, it
[52:15] like it was just impossible. Yeah, but it it's like, okay, like what the point I'm trying to make, Franco, is like, well, yeah, first off, their setup's got to be insane. Iceman Isaac does this, too. But like, let's
[52:28] does this, too. But like, let's let's like shall we? let's like shall we? Let's go to Iceman Isaac's stream. So, he streamed four. So, he streamed four days ago.
[52:40] four days ago. Um, let's go to Red Sec. He's streaming 4K 60 right.
[52:54] And it and it looks beautiful. Like, let me go out here. It looks beautiful. me go out here. It looks beautiful. Anybody in here right now that has OLED knows knows that this is not what it looks like for you.
[53:07] That's that's what we're trying to talk about right now, Franco. So, like, yeah, there's a way to set up 4K and like this guy, don't get me wrong, this looks beautiful. I'm not [ __ ] on this idea, but like this looks like 1440p 60
[53:20] idea, but like this looks like 1440p 60 to me. Th this is not this is not what a OLED 4K looks like. So that's why I was like, I'm just not going to stress about trying to give the stream the quality that I have. I'm just going to give them
[53:36] the quality that I can provide and I'm going to experience the 4K OLED. So like, yeah, there's a way where you can optimize 4K to work so you have the 4K settings, which to be fair, I think Iceman Isaac has a three PC setup to be
[53:50] fair. I don't know if Tactical Brit does, but also too, Tactical Brit, I believe, only Doesn't he only stream to YouTube? YouTube? Great guys, by the way.
[54:05] doesn't multiream, does he? That's where everything becomes super That's where everything becomes super [ __ ] muddy, man.
[54:24] anything. I don't Does he Does he multiream, guys? Three PC setup is nutty. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but you got you got to look at it. Like these guys like Let me Let me break something down for you guys.
[54:38] that you're going to have to like as you that you're going to have to like you know assess over time. The three PC setup is not for like the idea of uh to get the highest quality possible. It's
[54:52] to optimize your job to the best of your ability. So guys like Iceman's Isaac like Iceman doesn't edit his [ __ ] anymore. So if he's giving things to his editor like one he's gota well one also two he's he's extremely reliant on the
[55:06] content because channels at that size like you guys don't realize they're making like tens of thousands of dollars a month on good months just just from the YouTube ad revenue alone. So it's like they're investing back into their
[55:18] essentially like the three PC setup there is for them to be able to fluently do their job to the best of the ability. On top of that too, when you dedicate a On top of that too, when you dedicate a recording PC and dedicate a streaming PC
[55:33] and one can do the job for the other, you run into less issues, which is like the big obviously the big key thing from from that. You you create more ability to have layers to where you can strip things away and your your creative
[55:47] process can be a lot a lot better. Yeah. So, it's like three PC setup seems So, it's like three PC setup seems insane. Like I like I'll give a little banter I guess. I never understood why guys like Dr. Lupo did a three PC setup.
[56:04] guys like Dr. Lupo did a three PC setup. That's to me that's more of a flex cuz Dr. Lupo doesn't actually prioritize content. He doesn't actually prioritize content. The dude uploads like once every like it
[56:18] made it made no sense to me that he got he upgraded to a three PC setup. Now, I don't know if he still does, but like if you're not like Iceman Isaac,
[56:35] This this guy's a content creator. This guy makes like real [ __ ] videos actively, uploads on multiple plat like multiple channels. This guy's a like
[56:47] genuine content creator. So, like it makes sense for Iceman Isaac if if I was putting out the content. If I was paying [ __ ] editors full-time salary, I'm like, bro, I'm I'm having a triple PC setup for sure, but I'm not
[57:03] doing that. I'm editing my own [ __ ] so there's no point. I've actually I've easier for me and just even going back to single PC setup because it's really to single PC setup because it's really it it like with how I do things anymore.
[57:16] I'm not uploading 1440p content of of like streams. I'm just I'm just taking moments for my stream and just making verticals out of them. So, it's like I really don't need a dual PC setup. I could easily be streaming at 1080p
[57:30] easily. I'm making it more difficult for me because my ego wants to be at 1440p. You know what I mean? Most virtual production setups are PC farmed for that reason. I know uh a decent Unreal pipeline uh is
[57:46] min three PCs. Yeah. Well, you're talking a whole different world, different world. By the way, good morning, Scrap. Do you do consultations or mentoring off stream? I do not, brother. I do not.
[58:01] Yeah, Isaac has three YouTube channels. Three YouTube channels. He's active on Three YouTube channels. He's active on all of his social media and he tries to genuinely be a productive voice in like the idea of like FPS gaming. So like
[58:14] guys like Iceman Isaac, absolutely. It makes so much sense for them to do that. So much dent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Different world, same idea. Every every Different world, same idea. Every every layer has its own job.
[58:29] Every layer has its own job essentially at that point. When are we going to see services come out where it'll do that for them? Imagine that. Imagine that world where
[58:42] essentially you can utilize basically a server online server to for them to do the things for you. Kind of like what a reream is but not dog [ __ ] What's up, Bites? Kind of like reream but not dog [ __ ] I like how today we
[58:55] and stuff and we've talked about we've we've gone down basically like 4K and hour. Yeah. Yeah. My setup is telling me no, but my ego my ego is telling me 14 that that's bro that's exactly what it is. I
[59:10] that's bro that's exactly what it is. I have absolutely no [ __ ] reason in the have absolutely no [ __ ] reason in the world to stream at 1440p. None. None. I'm just doing it out of our wood to and it's it's even more silly for me because
[59:24] it's it's even more silly for me because like my channel is clearly not a gaming channel. It's clearly not. These are just like my live streams, right? And so like if I'm leaning into my personality and just me and just coming from the
[59:40] idea of like, hey, this is just me being live. I I I'm over complicating it and I'm overstressed for me.
[59:58] that my my gaming PC. It's been a minute since uh Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I even have a third PC laying around and I've I've literally debated it. Anyways, anyways. All right. I said at one point that I
[1:00:10] the Sony A75. So, let's talk a little bit of camera gear and [ __ ] moving into this. Um, hopefully like by me yapping about this, this will encourage some upgrading to this or like, "Hey, I want to accomplish this. Like, what should I
[1:00:23] get?" Um, so yeah, the initial reason for me purchasing the A75, which if you guys don't know, I also have some so complete
[1:00:35] don't know, I also have some so complete kit setup. I have uh a Sony FX3 do a little tour. Uh t uh somebody ban this [ __ ] out of my chat, please and this [ __ ] out of my chat, please and thank you. Somebody ban this [ __ ]
[1:00:50] thank you. Somebody ban this [ __ ] Get this [ __ ] [ __ ] out of here. Sony FX3. Uh can you guys hear me? We have the Sony FX3. Got the Sony FX3.
[1:01:07] This is the uh this is the kitted up version, right? This is uh I just uh put this together the other week. This is going to be my mobile YouTube station moving into the new year. Uh and then I I'm easily able to just unplug two
[1:01:22] things. Bada bing, bada boom. Pop that off. And it's uh it's a running gun now. Just like that. Just a little running gun. So, uh, we're actually going to be, uh, busting this out this week with, uh, T-
[1:01:35] Dog's, uh, favorite accused COD player, Joe Wo. We're going to be doing some setup [ __ ] with Joe. So, that that's the FX3 setup.
[1:01:49] Then, uh, I'm kind of uh I don't know if I'll uh, I'm kind of uh I don't know if I'll keep this, but I got the Sony ZV1. I have this rigged for the wireless and this has the 12 to 24. So like uber
[1:02:04] of the verticals that I've been doing lately. That's uh that's what uh that's what this is. Right. All right. Now on the streaming setup.
[1:02:29] Foggy as hell outside. Wait, is it really? Is it actually foggy outside? Uh, for the stream setup, we have FX30 with um I think [snorts] they're the 15 millimeter 1.4. That sound right? Any
[1:02:46] millimeter 1.4. That sound right? Any crop sensor nerds in here? Any crop sensor nerds? And then obviously with having all that they got obviously with having all that they got the A75. Now my hopes for this was
[1:03:01] the A75. Now my hopes for this was I I wanted a solid hybrid. So like very good photo, very good video to kind of uh influence me to to get more creative this year. I want to I want to bust this [ __ ] out a
[1:03:15] want to I want to bust this [ __ ] out this year. I wanna I want to get uh I want to use the cameras more. Um like like I said, for example, uh I think like I said, for example, uh I think we're gonna be working with Joe on a a
[1:03:28] setup video. So, I want to want to be able to do that. I want to be able to do able to do that. I want to be able to do that. Um on top of that, too, I just wanted to be able to [ __ ] have good gear for the future. Um,
[1:03:43] I mentioned this in a post just last week talking about um, I don't know if a lot of creators think about like their long term. I think everybody should have long term. I think everybody should have some kind of goal or exit strategy out
[1:03:58] some kind of goal or exit strategy out of whatever whatever they do. of whatever whatever they do. uh what's a ton and for me like create creativity is like obvious obvious right so over the years I've
[1:04:12] just kind of for me I've just kind of thought that it'd be best to invest in the camera gear lenses and whatnot because at the up and be on camera I can always go behind a camera cuz I morons [snorts]
[1:04:26] behind a camera cuz I morons [snorts] like that [ __ ] one COD dick rider what's his name Tog you know, they suck at cameras, so they need to hire guys like me at some point. So, you know, I figured why not uh why
[1:04:39] not put myself in a position long term and invest into those things? You know what I'm saying? Ty, how we doing? How we doing? You're deliver Wait, you're actually literally delivering mail right now?
[1:04:53] Yeah. So, that's uh that's my camera coming into 2026, gang. That's what we're going to be running. The idea is um sit down shots, talking head stuff on the that one. Um kind of bounced back
[1:05:06] the that one. Um kind of bounced back and forth between this and the Sony ZV1. might get rid of that one. COD is back. Honestly, have you really been enjoying COD? Be honest. Be [ __ ] honest. Don't lie to us. Nobody's here. Social media
[1:05:20] is not [ __ ] watching. T Dog, are you really having fun on COD? will be your therapy session for a quick second. I do dude I love how you've made
[1:05:32] a whole entire career out of memeing call it like I it's it's fascinating. I was just talking who was I just talking with about that. It's f it's absolutely fascinating. I've been playing Red Se
[1:05:46] been playing Red Se [laughter] ALMIGHTY. WELCOME BACK BROTHER. I argue it's the last great Call of Duty, brother. It's the last great Call of Duty. And I'll argue too, the one that's
[1:06:02] going to get me cancelled one of these days, Advanced Warfare was for before its time. I'm just going to say it. I'm just going to say it. Advanced Warfare was before its time. If they launched an Advanced Warfare in 2020, you know,
[1:06:15] 2024, 2025, like these recent years, that would have been a hell of a game. that would have been a hell of a game. But, um, yeah, is what it is. It is what it is. Got to get this Amazon delivered. You're literally delivering Amazon
[1:06:28] You're literally delivering Amazon delivery [ __ ] right now. Right now. Uh Christmas was good. Tonzi little man [ __ ] ate it up this year. Dude, it was it was that was fun to see. This was his first year that he was like can
[1:06:41] actually process stuff. So like seeing him actually like run to a present and like opening up. It was awesome. It was awesome. Good morning. I was going to awesome. Good morning. I was going to get the Lumix SR uh S1R III for photo.
[1:06:56] It doubles for video. So, you're more photo influenced. I mean, dude, the the the new Lumixes, even with these smaller sensors, are pretty. Or wait, is that the full-frame sensor?
[1:07:10] sensor? Is the S1R the fullframe? Panasonic has absolutely [ __ ] killed it over the last what, seven years when they really changed it up. The G2 are something that
[1:07:23] changed it up. The G2 are something that like really made a pivot for them. here's the question. Does the Lumix autofocus suck or are you just spoiled
[1:07:36] to Sony's? Dude, Sony's autofocus is just [ __ ] insane. It's out of this world. I think Canon's kind of caught up. I don't know how if Nikon has they are all fullframe now. Well, they obviously
[1:07:50] they're not all fullframe, but like because they they you every camera brand has to make a crop sensor. They got to have entry level. Everything everything's got to have an entry level, dude.
[1:08:07] look into this. There's no way they stop doing micro four thirds.
[1:08:31] good. The only people like I can I can see Canon coming back. see Canon coming back. Uh
[1:08:44] micro four thirds. There just haven't hasn't been any dropped. Yeah, Panasonic micro four thirds or abandoning the mount. Um just nothing new come out.
[1:08:56] Yeah, what was it? The Lumix G97. Yeah, dude. Those were actually Dude, actually really good. But like, dude, the full-frame uh the full-frame
[1:09:08] Panasonic cameras are are really really good. Really good. Well, and that's that well, that's the big debate, too. It's like if the autofocus sucks. But the thing is like
[1:09:20] ah dude, the [ __ ] like let me look at a um a um it depends what you're using it for.
[1:09:38] What is it? S SR S S1R I I
[1:09:53] thing is their [ __ ] sensors like do they have open gate? Does this have open gate in it? Anybody know?
[1:10:11] Dude, what I mean just what a [ __ ] beautiful [ __ ] Come on, man.
[1:10:27] man. I miss the days that like everybody would get a camera and like that's the S12. Wait, is that what we're looking for? S1? No, you got the S1R2.
[1:10:41] S1? No, you got the S1R2. Wait, was that a typo? Did you accidentally give a typo, Cody? Or is the Or is the S1 R2 just mainly
[1:10:56] Or is the Or is the S1 R2 just mainly photo? Kick is being riddled with uh with um bots right now. So, unfortunately, we
[1:11:12] bots right now. So, unfortunately, we have a 4W week follower only chat because these people are losers and have literally been making uh accounts and following us for months. So, they can come in and harass. Unfortunately.
[1:11:26] come in and harass. Unfortunately. Unfortunately, so until kick fixes it. Yeah, there's a four-week follower only mode. Yeah, I I'm sorry that that that happened to you, brother. Sorry that that happened.
[1:11:51] group of like five people. It's like a group of like five people, but like one guy being a [ __ ] One guy being a [ __ ] Um, I got I got a scene. I want to see something. I want to see something.
[1:12:26] It's really not that deep. Just just talk about the gear. certain point, if somebody's going to waste their [ __ ] money on something
[1:12:40] and stress about the gear, that's a them problem. That's not a you problem. If it's your hobby, you talk about it. This looks beautiful, by the way. >> This is insane. >> Panasonic is so [ __ ] good.
[1:13:01] miss the days where like new cameras would come out and this is what everybody would do. Everybody would take a new camera, would go out and like make a like a short film of like using the camera like a movie production,
[1:13:14] making a little documentary [ __ ] And nowadays, it's just it's all like just the tech. It's all pixel peeping texts arguing. [ __ ] sucks, man. like, "Oh, this new thing, it can do this [ __ ] man. Let's go [ __ ] let's
[1:13:30] go test it." And now it's like here's the theoretical things you can do with this. It's not good enough. It's like Jesus [ __ ] Christ, man. Makes you Jesus [ __ ] Christ, man. Makes you want to [ __ ] punch a brick wall.
[1:13:44] Here you go. Lumix SR12 shot on anamorphic. Well, okay. I don't like that they did the That's whatever.
[1:14:03] when I want to live stream, it shut down because of temp. I can only stream 40 minutes. Um, yeah, that's that's a that's a reason why I don't use my Sony ZVE one uh for streaming is that same thing.
[1:14:19] uh for streaming is that same thing. That's why I I use the FX30 because what That's why I I use the FX30 because what is how much is the Sony?
[1:14:31] V1. Oh yeah, that's Wait, no, that's the the $800 one. Yeah, I mean, brother, at that rate, you'd be better off getting the [ __ ] [snorts and sighs]
[1:14:54] Yeah, I think it is. Yeah, you'd be better off getting the Sony a6400. he's using it for webcam, it's most likely Are you using it USBC or you
[1:15:08] likely Are you using it USBC or you using it HDMI? If he's using it USBC, which is I would assume he is, it's automatic 1080p. It might even be 720. automatic 1080p. It might even be 720. Dude, those ZV series cameras overheat
[1:15:20] Dude, those ZV series cameras overheat so [ __ ] fast, dude. So fast. Ah, well that that's your that's your explanation, brother. There's no there's
[1:15:34] no need for you to be using HDMI 4K. There's no need reason. too. Or or are you just using an HDMI 4K and
[1:15:50] you're just But you're just streaming 1080p. Yeah, cuz can you even stream? Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
[1:16:15] Can you even do that? Let me see. Let me see. Yeah, you can stream the but not 4K over Z4 over the 20. Let's see. Streaming.
[1:16:29] brother. That's your problem. You shouldn't even You shouldn't be streaming on 4K. Yeah, that's your problem. You should be uh However, the mode only outputs a 720p resolution at 30 and format. Okay, so the USBC you're
[1:16:43] only going to get 720p. So, yeah, you should be streaming at 1080p. You'll should be streaming at 1080p. You'll probably you'll probably last um probably you'll probably last um Oh, man. What's the um
[1:16:57] I mean, dude, if you do if you do 1080, you'll probably get at least I I I still think it's going to overheat, though. That's the bad thing. Um does the Sony That's the bad thing. Um does the Sony ZV1 have a overheating
[1:17:12] problem at 1080? Especially if your room isn't um isn't
[1:17:26] Yeah, Sony's EV1 can overheat when recording at 1080 full HD. It's small compact camera with very uh limited internal cooling while overheating is much more common in 4K. Many users record uh cut uh shutdowns at 1080p too.
[1:17:40] record uh cut uh shutdowns at 1080p too. Um, it sounds like you need to turn it to 1080. Um, and it might not even
[1:17:56] overheat, but if it does, it's going to last a lot longer. I I like Canon. It's just I have nothing but Sony right now. I thought about grabbing the new Canon because that thing is [ __ ] insane.
[1:18:09] But yeah, I mean, there should be a couple Canon people in here right now. get as a hybrid so I can make my photos better? I have a uh FX30 as a main. What's your budget? That's the big question. What's your budget? What are
[1:18:24] question. What's your budget? What are you willing to spend? photos. What is What's the megapixel on the FX30?
[1:18:50] first step is switch to to 1080p streaming. You just that we had about 4K. I'm I'm going to make it abundantly clear. You guys are
[1:19:03] make it abundantly clear. You guys are wasting resources and energy doing [ __ ] wasting resources and energy doing [ __ ] at 4K, especially in streaming. Doing at 4K, especially in streaming. Doing anything in 4K at streaming
[1:19:15] if you are not an established brand making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year is pointless to stress about. Pointless. Pointless. So the first thing you should do is you should stream at 1080p and see
[1:19:29] how long you see if that fixes your problem. It that itself might fix your problem. It that itself might fix your problem. So outputting to 1080 1080p might solve your problem almost instantly. So do that first. If you
[1:19:44] switch to 1080p and you still have a problem then I would say over time sure may maybe get the a6400. But right now, all I'm saying is switch to 1080p. That's it. Happy Christmas. But hey, merry Chrysler, peeps.
[1:20:01] merry Chrysler, peeps. Merry Chrysler. How's your holidays? Uh, I guess I suck at photo. I guess I just suck at photos. I mean, yeah, brother, you're you're talking about you're the FX30 has a 26 uh megapixel
[1:20:19] you're the FX30 has a 26 uh megapixel photo camera.
[1:20:31] 1080p with USB or HDMI? With the with the with the HDMI, your camera can't um the with the HDMI, your camera can't um um your your camera cannot do uh 1080p USB. It will only do 720p. Now, I tell you what, if you really want the
[1:20:43] longevity of your camera to really last, do the 720p USB streaming and then just aren't going to notice the [ __ ] going to notice the difference. And then you never have to worry about
[1:20:58] overheating ever again. And then and then you only have to use the USB cable directly to the PC and it charges the camera and it treats it just like a webcam and you're [ __ ] set. Personally me, if I'm you, that's what I
[1:21:11] would do. I would just completely toss out the 4K capture card cuz like it it doesn't sound like you're somebody that's like um you're stressing about
[1:21:28] thousands of viewers and you're really really worried about really worried about the camera quality.
[1:21:40] A6700 is a good hybrid companion for the FX30. See? Yeah, that's the thing that I was about to get into is like
[1:21:54] crop sensor camera, you know what I mean? So, you kind of you know what I mean? So, you kind of want to stick with that.
[1:22:20] camera quality. You're already compressing your camera quality anyways. So, what your viewers are going to be able to see is not what you can see. You know what I mean? So, like I would not focus at all on that. I would I
[1:22:33] would focus on um I'd focus on being able to just do your job as a creator as as easy as possible.
[1:22:55] these photos, these photos are all taken on the uh FX30, by the way. Yeah, all these photos are taken on the FX30.
[1:23:18] Your your camera is capable of doing them. Now, I don't know what kind of photos you're trying to take. I don't know if you're trying to take product shots or or what,
[1:23:30] or what, but and you don't want to blow your money, I would say it's not even worth getting another camera. I'd say learn learn how to utilize the camera that you
[1:23:44] have. Now, if you're like growing to the point where you're like, I want my FX30 point where you're like, I want my FX30 to be like my main cinema camera and I need another camera for the boost of pro productivity. Yeah, like product shots.
[1:24:00] Can you like give me a budget like give me a budget, Miller? Like I I I got to know a budget. How much do you want to spend to make your your life easier? Or is it like Okay, there you go. That that's the
[1:24:13] biggest question. How much do you want to spend to make your life easier?
[1:24:30] everything else pumps 1080. I don't even know why you run 4K on cams to be honest. Maybe on like one main cam, but all the other ones that are accent cams, I wouldn't even be using any of that resource. I were you peeps. But you know
[1:24:44] what? Uh you know it all. So you're you're not going to take advice from me. Yeah. And you're going to continue to do it. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
[1:25:02] Give me a budget. Don't overthink it. Tell me right now how much like you want Tell me right now how much like you want to buy a camera. What how much you have to buy a camera. What how much you have boom. Don't overthink it. Just boom.
[1:25:17] Good. Now join the members club so you don't get fined, too. Okay. 1500. There you go. All right. Thank you. Yeah. I mean, so with that, that's it's important to know that because like Yeah. Okay. At that rate,
[1:25:33] at that rate, I'm not going to suggest you to go a fullframe cuz we we you can get a full-frame for 1500, but then you got to get lenses and then now your lenses are no longer really compatible with your crop sensor. Like you can use
[1:25:47] them, they're still email. It's not the same. It's not the same. But now that same. It's not the same. But now that you said that, yeah, now now I know
[1:26:01] I'd back up what what's his name? Just said I' i'd probably stack the A6700 said I' i'd probably stack the A6700 with it, truth be told. Then you have a secondary B-roll cam. What's up, Tate? Merry Christmas. You have a secondary
[1:26:17] B-roll cam and Yeah, you have a secondary B-roll cam and then you have a really good it's it's the same I'm pretty sure it's the same sensor, is it not? Um,
[1:26:32] same sensor, is it not? Um, uh, does the FX 30 and 100 same?
[1:26:56] version of your FX30 already at a different sensor, dick, but yeah, back to the point of what you said earlier where you're like
[1:27:11] because you Yeah, you can take good photos with the FX30 and if you don't think your photos are good, Miller, you're you're a a tier three, aren't you're you're a a tier three, aren't you're a premium member. Do you have um
[1:27:24] you're a premium member. Do you have um do you have talking about? And so for anybody that's curious, Miller is I'm pretty sure you're a tier three, aren't you? Miller.
[1:27:39] Miller pays the $15 a month uh membership on here. So, like he is membership on here. So, like he is somebody that I'll I'll actually like go through and I'll look at at his stuff and see what he's talking about on his
[1:27:51] end. Yes, I am. Okay. Show me what you're talking about. What do you want you're talking about. What do you want to improve? Let's Let's focus on that. trying to improve stuff for your thumbnails? Do you have also two Wait,

[1:28:58] Are you talking about like right now your membership's on this and it won't your membership's on this and it won't let you switch to your main?
[1:29:10] Gotcha. Okay. Well, I was I was going to say we know that I like I know there's there's like 15 of you guys that are are members. Like I know um I know Toaster is a $15 a month member, too. At this rate, it's not hard to remember you
[1:29:25] guys. So, like, if you just talk to us on your main and you want to wait till membership's up and then join on your main, just do that, brother. Don't feel like you have to talk on this one because that's where that is.
[1:29:40] because that's where that is. I wish I could just gift you uh a regular member. I wish I wish they would allow that.
[1:29:54] talking on this on this account so you don't have to come in on the second don't have to come in on the second account, just do that, man.
[1:30:09] Oh yeah, dude. Oh, Miller, you have a typo in your your header.
[1:30:21] Now, you have an X FX30. What are you trying to improve? Where where do I need to look at like photo examples? Give me that.
[1:30:35] Where do I need to look at photo photo examples? examples? [snorts]
[1:30:52] Toaster. I got something for you for engagement. actually realize uh Okay, there we go. Perfect. So, is that your beacons? If I
[1:31:06] click this, you're not going to [ __ ] hack my [ __ ] are you? Um, years there's been a quite a few posts where like, oh, dude, especially if I'm
[1:31:19] like trying to be super cocky about something, I'll put a typo in the thing and it's got, dude, it helped it get so much more push.
[1:31:36] So, you're talking for like photos and stuff? this [ __ ] Do you have any of the stuff on Twitter?
[1:32:00] the way. Well, I know Miller does this, dude. One time when I was on kick doing got to tell you guys this. This is [ __ ] insane. one of these type of streams and I was on kick. It was like [snorts] a couple
[1:32:15] "Yeah, I get shadowbanned, all this shit." And they were a pretty big subs and they came to a lot of streams. So I was like, "Bro, what are you what are you on about? What are you on about?" Like I didn't know I didn't peg
[1:32:29] that type of person to be somebody that complains about like algorithm and [ __ ] like that. And I was like, "Okay, let me see your content." And I opened up their [ __ ] [ __ ] in my stream. I had to delete the VOD, so it
[1:32:42] doesn't exist. And I just see their giant [ __ ] [ __ ] on the screen getting [ __ ] sucked off. And I'm like, "Bro, what the fuck?" And he's like, "Yeah,
[1:32:54] I'm an adult content creator." And I'm like, first off, a [ __ ] heads up would have been nice. Second off, what? How do you not get that? to grow too well on YouTube doing that [ __ ] How do you not understand that?
[1:33:09] that happened. Yep. Serious thing that happened. Anyways, moving back on. I did not say Siri. Um, I I don't make many photos because I feel like they suck. Okay. Okay.
[1:33:29] Miller. Miller. Guys, any anybody in here? I got a very [ __ ] important lesson for you guys today. Let Let this be today's lesson. Okay?
[1:33:46] photos, guess what you have to do? guess what you have to do? You have to take more photos.
[1:34:02] Not doing anything because your perceived because your perceived first initial attempts suck is a recipe first initial attempts suck is a recipe for always sucking at everything you do.
[1:34:14] The first video you make isn't going to be good. The first photos you take you go live, you're not going to be good. The first time you you [ __ ] put together a a a a skit uh information, anything you do the first time is not
[1:34:29] going to be good. First time you go to a gym, your first workout, you're not going to know half the [ __ ] you're doing. Over time, you get better. Over time, you get better. I still take photos. I just don't post them.
[1:34:45] You still Right. You still hide behind the idea that you don't want to improve.
[1:34:59] and making it a thing and making it a habit, you keep it to yourself. So that way you settle with the idea that you're not good enough.
[1:35:17] Take more photos. do what you want to to to do accomplish better at it. You'll be like, "Okay, this lighting sucked. That lighting this lighting sucked. That lighting sucked. This this did that.
[1:35:39] You got You got to do the [ __ ] guys. You got to do the shit." Yeah, they do. Viewers love to see the growth both in skill set and not just in
[1:35:52] in in the vanity metric. They love to see people. Dude, you guys they're like been following you for like 10 years. It's been so cool to see how you like like got better at cameras and yada yada yada. It's part of the
[1:36:07] journey. In my in my opinion, publishing helps improve and helps receive constructive criticism. Well, I mean, that's debatable. lot you you got to learn like what to look at with the con constructive criticism.
[1:36:20] Everybody thinks that just a a comment online is just constructive criticism. just [ __ ] [ __ ] and like to say stupid [ __ ] That's just the reality. nothing constructive about that. And they try to utilize that big word as a
[1:36:35] they try to utilize that big word as a way to justify them being idiots. Right. I didn't like it. That's not constructive criticism. It is. I'm just could have done it differently. There's nothing constructive about that at all.
[1:36:48] Hey, uh in this photo, if you noticed, the the front didn't capture as much light and the backlight was kind of blowing out the image, so it's hard to focus on the the subject. Constructive criticism. Now, in comments on the
[1:37:02] online world, how how common is that? It's very uncommon. Most of the comments that you'll see that are constructive criticism in the online world are like, differently." Okay, well, please elaborate, [ __ ] How would you have
[1:37:17] done it differently? And then it's the response of, "Oh, well, you're getting so offended. I'm just telling you got I'm just telling you, open up for that's I'm just telling you, open up for that's 98% of comments on social media." That's
[1:37:29] yeah, I would rather receive constructive criticism from my group of friends that want me to improve and want me to be better. I'd rather get constructive criticism from somebody with experience that I respect. Now,
[1:37:41] It's hard to get that attention. However, I would I would be more focused on that. I'd be more focused on that. constructive if the person themselves have credibility that can back up uh
[1:37:56] their advice. Yeah, brother. Brother, [sighs] constructive criticism is only really constructive if the person themselves have credibility that can back up their
[1:38:08] advice. Yeah. So true. Do you realize how many [ __ ] morons on the internet how many [ __ ] morons on the internet are like,
[1:38:21] And I'm like, I go to their page and they they've never had any experience in any of this [ __ ] It's [ __ ] It's [ __ ] It's It's insane. It's insane.
[1:38:33] Um, greatest thing I ever heard was I would never take fitness advice from a fat person that's never been fit. It's the greatest advice I ever had. If you're gonna tell me how to do
[1:38:47] something, if you're gonna make a suggestion, I check your page or wherever you're coming from and you have nothing to prove that you know what the [ __ ] you're talking about. Yeah. Your shit's going into the void. For sure.
[1:39:02] shit's going into the void. For sure. For sure. For sure. Like old peeps, that dude is [ __ ] weak and and um and vulnerable. And that guy tries to
[1:39:15] uh discredit other people's muscular structure. And I just won't take it. I structure. And I just won't take it. I just won't take it. Um Matt Matt, listen. Listen. Get [ __ ] Uh get [ __ ] peeps. Listen, brother.
[1:39:38] You ready for this, Matt? I want you to get ready for this. for the new year. I want you to post a photo every day in January on your Instagram. I I don't care if it's multiple, but I want you to have the goal of every day
[1:39:51] you're going to post a a photo. Every [ __ ] day. And in that transition, don't just get in the routine of doing it. in the routine of doing it. I want you to be unhappy about [ __ ] I I
[1:40:04] want you to want to know be doing. And one thing I'm gonna help one thing I think would also help with this is when you take your photo and you make
[1:40:19] your post or whatever, what I would also say is put your photo in the chat GBT and say what it is that you don't like This these these are the things I'm talking about with AI that you guys got
[1:40:32] where people are going to get left behind, man. This is where AI becomes so crucial. AI is your friend. It's your companion. It's going to be able to tell you exactly
[1:40:46] show you something. Can I show you something? This is how powerful AI is. Um Miller, >> I'm gonna pick on you for a second.
[1:41:19] is the power of AI. This is what everybody should be doing.
[1:41:41] This is the [ __ ] power, dude. You guys have an entire guys have an entire personalized assistant at your disposal. technically wrong with it, but there's a few things hurting its clickability.
[1:41:54] Everything is orange. No contrast. Your shirt, mic, mouse, PC lighting, every all blends together. So, your eye doesn't know what to focus on. Thumbnail needs a strong contrast to subject pops. For example, if it's crazy, it's crazy.
[1:42:09] For example, if it's crazy, it's crazy. Uh like, okay, here we do. Uh copy Uh like, okay, here we do. Uh copy image. step. Let's just take that first step. Let's see if AI is correct. Let's see if
[1:42:23] AI is correct, guys. So, let's just take that first step.
[1:42:35] Let's uh select subject. Let's controll J. Okay. Let's controll J. Okay. Uh I want to erase this. Let's Let I want to see how accurate this is. I want to see how accurate this
[1:42:47] is. Now watch this [ __ ] Okay. Um, this going to take a little second to to going to take a little second to to prove the point.
[1:43:02] the psychology behind this cuz it it's vastly different when you like hear something say like, "Oh, it would have been better if you did this verse like let's let's actually see what would happen if if you if you listen to the
[1:43:15] AI. Jeez. Gotta [ __ ] It's hard to mask out the giant cut. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Just Just kidding. I'm just kidding. Just Just giving a goof. Just giving a goof.
[1:43:30] Okay. So, now what I'll do here is I'll take that selection. Oh my god. take that selection. Oh my god. Whatever.
[1:43:46] There we go. Selection. Let's take this. Okay.
[1:44:07] Either change the shirt color to the background tones or color grade thumbnail. Say now expression isn't strong or clear. Your face looks kind of confused mid-sentence. Your thumbnail uh works best with with exaggerated
[1:44:19] readable emotions for instant communication. Uh the background is very busy. Not a lot going on. Monitor art. Um uh let's see. Can we let's see
[1:44:36] visually. Yeah. Which I mean most likely you just took a screenshot from the video. Uh but like let's say okay so like taking even what it it just said like taking even what it it just said controll J uh G. Now let's let's so yeah
[1:44:49] that can's kind of irrelevant. You really don't need it. You really don't need it. Trying to get you maybe like a a uh
[1:45:15] And then um let's say I want to make that less
[1:45:29] from the AI. So here's one there's two from a small scale. Even just that one suggestion from AI, that one little tiny list, little tiny list. And here's the thing, you don't have to wait for the thumbnail
[1:45:45] you don't have to wait for the thumbnail to be up to learn this. here. And then it also said like apply a a color correction. Jay, dude, a lot of
[1:45:59] people don't know. You just go to camera roll and you can literally Oh, if it [ __ ] loads. Oh my gosh, what is going on? There we go. Get started. Uh, if you just hit auto, that'll already help out so much more. But like a little tip
[1:46:14] here, guys, make your shadows pop. Bring down your blacks. That that alone will sharpening. You can do a little lighting, too.
[1:46:33] like a AI literally gave us in two seconds how to how to like make this thumbnail stand out so much more and all all you simply asked it was why
[1:46:45] does what's wrong with this thumbnail? No, I don't I really don't think it matters what H AI you use. What matters is you should be using AI. I mean, guys, be honest. Just based off of what AI said,
[1:47:00] background, the shirt, the lack of contrast, the cam being pointless, the expression. Now, obviously, like with this, you can't change the expression. But what what even elicits a better emotion as you're looking at it?
[1:47:16] Obviously, this the the fixed version, right? So, like the next month, what I what I want you to do, Miller, is I want I want you to do what you're [ __ ] afraid of doing.
[1:47:28] I want you to post a photo every [ __ ] day. And I want you to take advantage of AI, this thing that every one of us can take advantage of. And I want you to go out there and I want you to [ __ ] ask AI how to fix your [ __ ]
[1:47:45] part of I'm telling you guys, maybe this is a a hot take to some people, but I I don't believe it is. The people that don't take advantage of AI in 2026 are going to get left behind. I'm sorry. You just you just [ __ ] are, man. And
[1:48:00] everybody thinks that has to be an all-in or nothing. And it's like, dude, you're you're misunderstanding how uh AI needs to be utilized. Like people when you say use AI in your content, you
[1:48:15] you think like you just AI make my content. No, dude. AI can give you the [ __ ] Yeah, they are. They're stuck on old ways. AI can give you the fastest answer to things. I seen a post the other day where it said it said, "Stop
[1:48:31] using AI for everything. Just use Google." That's what somebody said, right? And then I seen somebody respond and it's like, "No, this is why I use AI." And it showed a screenshot that by using AI, it searched 290
[1:48:45] different res uh uh searches across the the internet in the snap of a [ __ ] second. That is the that is the power of AI. That is where you guys should be. Don't look at AI as it's this mysterious being
[1:49:00] that's just going to replace you as a person. You should look at AI as your friend that can give you the fastest [ __ ] information and can give you the best con constructive creative criticism. Excuse me.
[1:49:13] You That's how you need to be utilizing AI, dude. I I talk to Chad GBT every day. Every [ __ ] day. Every day. And everybody can create this theory, this this, the pros and cons,
[1:49:26] yada yada yada. But dude, if it is making me a better But dude, if it is making me a better creator and a better person, like, is it really that [ __ ] bad? Is it? Whatever. You can have all your debates
[1:49:40] not I'm not here to debate the morality of [ __ ] AI. You guys debating morality [ __ ] on the internet in 2025, [ __ ] brain dead.
[1:49:53] wants to improve, wants to be better, wants to be a better creator this year, wants to have better results, every one of you that's going to do that, by the end of 2026, you're going to have AI incorporated into your workflow. Uh
[1:50:06] to three people in here that are actually listening to what I what I'm saying. And in Q1 of 2026 alone, them using AI every single day to talk to it like another human being, like to talk to it like a [ __ ] person that's on
[1:50:21] to it like a [ __ ] person that's on the internet with what you do. Those two to three people are going to be [ __ ] exponentially further in in three months exponentially further in in three months by utilizing AI. Yeah. talk talk to like
[1:50:33] talk like the best advice I can give you Miller is over the next month as you post these photos every day talk to you talk to AI give AI the photos and talk to it like you would talk to me imagine if we had a conversation and you were
[1:50:47] like why does like what what feels like what feels dead about this photo I don't like the lighting in this photo why why do I not like literally ask it why do I do I not like literally ask it why do I not like the lighting in this photo why
[1:51:00] don't I like this photo. How do people get the blurred background in photos? Why you you could use examples. You can literally go to like let's say you go to my channel, right? Uh because I feel like when it comes to the product stuff,
[1:51:15] uh when I was doing them, I I did pretty good job uh with some of some of the photos like so let's just use a couple of mine, right? So, if you would take like some of if you would take screenshots of like some of these like
[1:51:28] this this right here, the everyday carry items for 2024 and you and you would take yours and be like, why why is this photo? I really like this photo. What is am I doing wrong with mine? And you give the comparison. AI will literally be
[1:51:45] able to have a conversation with you and be like, "Well, the reason that you like theirs is because there's contrast to the image because the objects that they have are on a wooden desk. The light is coming from a different direction which
[1:51:57] gives it a more cinematic dramatic look." Ya. And it go It can go down the line. It will go down the line and tell you what it why you like their image and you what it why you like their image and you don't like yours.
[1:52:13] Oh, that's good, Mad Dog. There you go. There you go. So, yeah, utilize utilize the the AI. Um, uh, Toasters, are you going to be around next week? I got I got to get going,
[1:52:27] guys. I'm going to be uh I want to just hang out with the fam today. Um, I'm gonna get going. I got to get going. I might start doing two uh YouTube workshops a week, by the way, to try to fill in the gaps.
[1:52:41] the people that are joining the premium members club for this. Yeah, I do want to give that the time to those lovely individuals. Uh but I also
[1:52:57] I got to get going. All right. Okay. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, stop around on the next one. I want to check out uh some of your stuff. Uh just see what you're doing. talk to you talk to you about whatever you want to talk
[1:53:11] for anybody that's like joining the uh the premium members club and [ __ ] Um this isn't going to be like a a one time thing. Like Miller Miller's been a up Miller stream like three or four or his channel like three or four times.
[1:53:25] The point being with this is like sometimes in these conversations we do need examples. And what better way to give an example of something is is to literally by to go to somebody's [ __ ] and say like, "Hey, here's here's what
[1:53:38] on." It's awesome. It's awesome. It's awesome to do. So, um peeps chat. Everybody have a good weekend. Looking good, looking hung, looking
[1:53:50] handsome. Appreciate you guys stopping by. Hope today's uh little stream was uh going to go hang out with the fam. Love y'all. Peace. See you guys in the next y'all. Peace. See you guys in the next one. Bye.
