I'm Home and I'm Enjoying Your Food Zero - You're Not Going Out, Dude, I'm Sorry

As I walk into my home, I'm greeted with a warm welcome by the delicious smells wafting from the kitchen. My stomach is growling, and I'm excited to dig in to whatever culinary delights await me. "Enjoy your food zero," I say with a smile, knowing that it's going to be a great meal.

I take my seat at the table, and my eyes land on the beautiful dishes before me. The tots look amazing, topped with Dr Pepper barbecue sauce - two sides of heaven! I feel like they could have given me five extra tots, but I understand why they wouldn't want to overdo it. Next to the tots is my usual spicy chicken sandwich, topped with heavy mayonnaise, honey mustard, caramelized onions, and cheddar cheese lettuce tomato. It's a perfect combination that never fails to satisfy my cravings.

As I take my first bite of the tots, I'm in heaven. The flavors are rich and savory, and the crunch from the tots is absolute perfection. I savor each bite, enjoying every moment of this delicious treat. I glance over at my cat Z, who's watching me with interest - no doubt wondering why I'm not eating his food.

The evening unfolds as a perfect meal, filled with laughter and conversation around the table. We chat about everything from shows to sponsors, and I make sure to reach out to my contact regarding some upcoming work projects. I hope to publish all those posts on Instagram by Monday, so stay tuned for more updates.

As the night wears on, we head over to dinner at a new restaurant in town. The food is incredible - spicy chicken salad that's simply divine. My mom thank you so much - it means the world to me. "I know I wouldn't show with my 18 double chins," I say with a chuckle.

The next morning, Sunday night rolls around, and I'm ready to dive back into work. However, I've made a promise to myself not to vlog full-time tonight - instead, I'll focus on editing the previous day's video and doing some laundry. "Stay tuned," I say to my audience, promising that there will be plenty of vlogging in the future.

As I head off to bed, I glance over at Zero, who's fast asleep on his tower. His eye is swollen from a scratch or bug bite earlier - but he's otherwise fine and acting himself. "You're fine," I reassure him. Fireball, our new cat, has arrived home safely thanks to my parents' early morning endeavors. They proved themselves to be nighttime heroes by bringing him in at 1 AM.

I finally get some much-needed rest that night, though I confess that it's become a bit of an issue lately. I wake up multiple times throughout the night, unable to shake off my exhaustion. It's like my body is trying to tell me something - but what? For now, I'll just have to deal with the occasional restless night and make do.

The day comes to an end as I settle in for a relaxing evening at home. I'm looking forward to watching Scream Six on Plex - fingers crossed that it's up to par. As I prepare for bed, I take a moment to thank my audience for their continued support and look forward to our next conversation soon.

believe we're doing Chinese for dinner I'm hyped because I've been I've been at Chinese in like probably two weeks which isn't a long time but it kind of feels like a long time because I love Chinese food so I think that's what we're doing all right let's go in the car guys I have a lot to talk about and I'm not going to talk about too much because I've already done that this week shout out to my patrons guys I'm just gonna plug my patreon for five dollars a month you get exclusive access to over 300 300 Vlogs that's a lot of content if you're looking for new stuff to watch my old stuff my new stuff it's all there for five dollars a month and guys let me just tell you this this week's Pages only Vlog was over two hours long two hours long that's a lot of content it was a lot of work to get that done a lot of editing a lot of patience and I had to export it twice because I found a major editing error but that's why you preview your own content don't be lazy uh but anyway yeah I will link that Vlog right below guys it details everything regarding my YouTube partnership my brand new Apple Studio display and I'll be talking about that in the car so let's go got some things to get done the apple looks at your company and says your patents aren't great your people seem interesting we think this needs to be not just an accessory but fundamentally part of our platform all right I am on my way to Z post office if you look to my right that might look like an eBay sale going out right yeah or it just looks like an Amazon package that's what it originally was so I'm taking it back okay well hold on I'm not dropping that off at the post office this is an Amazon return and I'm dropping it off at Kohl's I wish I wish you could drop it off at the post office this guy is riding me I'm going five over in the rain in residential anyway in this box is a satachi sateki satiki I've heard many many different pronunciations um so Itachi monitor Riser that I got for my Apple Studio display yes the Apple Studio display guys I am loving it it's an absolutely beautiful display and I had this same monitor riser for my iMac and I loved it on my iMac absolutely loved it but there's something about the Apple Studio display it it feels fine with the eye height level maybe the iMac was a little lower but I doubt it because the bezels were thicker in the iMac or maybe I just gotten used to having a low monitor because of my gaming PC upstairs I'm not sure but either way this is going back it was like 95 so hey that's 95 back in my bank account that I can put towards other purchases because I definitely have a few few other things I want to buy for my new setup revised setup I should say because it's the same desk uh but yes my Apple Studio display is beautiful guys it's currently connected to my um 14 inch MacBook Pro love it love it love it and I'll be talking about that more in detail in a bit so I'm here because I'm checking my PO Box I have a sponsored product review coming up and DHL is bringing it to my P.O box today it said yesterday but I guess I guess it was delayed so I'm hoping it's in my P.O box and if it's not then it's not and I'm hoping the PS5 is not in there because I'm still waiting to hear back from that in regards to the eBay return it's kind of weird I mean no news is good news in this case so the less I hear the better but hey like I said in the patrons Vlog if it comes back it comes back but either way I'm gonna I'm gonna check my P.O box eBay's been very slow this week by the way very very slow I haven't really sold much which is honestly fine I'm not really focused on that this week my biggest Focus was the fact that yes I am now a YouTube partner on Creative Finance thank you guys so much for all the kind well wishes congratulations all that stuff thank you if you reached out I truly truly do appreciate you so much creative Finance is my foundation for my future guys it's quite literally my Foundation I'm setting up a new Revenue Source obviously it's not going to be anything big right now I'm making a dollar to a day but I'm hoping to turn that into like 20 to 30 a day and maybe even a hundred dollars a day like that that's my long-term goal 100 a day doing what I truly love to do online so we'll see all right let me go check my P.O box and then we are going to skip Goodwill today I'm sorry uh I I'm just not in the mood to go thrift thing because I want to drop this off at Kohl's then maybe McDonald's for lunch I don't know maybe Wawa I'm not sure yet but we'll figure it out it is nasty out there nothing in my P.O box so I'll check again later tonight me mom is texting me oh it's not downloading I'm in like uh a a dead pocket if you will it's very weird like service is fine right over there by Rutter's but over here by the post office don't even count on getting anything good yeah the occasional text might make its way through but in regards to like actual service images videos all right next stop Kohl's and I'm going to later today when I get home I'm going to start looking for clean clean HDMI capable cameras much like my Sony camera upstairs I think it's a Sony a6100 or 1600 I don't know I I always mix up the model numbers either way I'll link that exact camera right below guys that's the camera I use for my live streams on Twitch and it puts out what we call clean HDMI basically this means you can have your camera running at all times without recording but you can see a live preview on your stream in OBS or screenflow which is what I'll be using while not showing all the metadata and all that stuff um you know in terms of uh your your shutter speed your aperture focal length battery life all of that information is completely hidden and that's huge for someone like me I use that all the time I use it religiously said it's definitely something I need and that's something I want because I'm not going to only be using the built-in webcam on the Apple City display which I still have to update I am I am currently upgrading to Mac OS Ventura finally it only took me six months or so um but I'm upgrading to that first that way I can upgrade my or update my Apple Studio display because apparently the webcam is going to get a little better but even though the webcam is not a big deal to me uh I bought the display oh okay well hold on the web game is kind of a big deal I like I like the convenience I use that for screenflow but for my higher quality videos where I want like a full screen version of me then I'm actually going to use a physical camera like like my Sony upstairs and who knows I might even buy the same exact Sony just have a second one for downstairs in my office we'll see um but guys the apple cider display First Impressions absolutely incredible I am so happy with the image Clarity my God the pixel density is absolutely perfect it's super freaking sharp it's so crisp the colors are amazing the 600 nice brightness is amazing the only thing I miss is promotion 120 hertz refresh rate Honestly though guys that in no way is going to affect my work it's not going to affect my workflow my productivity it's more of a premium feature that just makes things look better and feel better um so I do miss it but why are my lights on that's that's the thing about the Tesla my lights don't always come on automatically when it's raining um but anyway I'm loving a display guys and the speakers sound really good the speakers sound incredible they're so loud they're very very Bassy like I actually felt a little bit of bass I think in my desk or in my feet today when I was watching a video I'm like damn these sound good but obviously they're not going to replace actual studio monitors like Studio speakers or stuff like that oh my God let me tell you if you're looking for a clean setup like I am the studio display monitor uh sorry this studio display speakers are more than good enough they sound freaking fantastic they sound really really good uh but then again I expect it from Apple Apple goes above and beyond with their speaker design typically anyway there you have it an update on my studio display I'm loving it guys and of course if you want to hear more about my studio display I'll be linking the pigeons only Vlog right below again over two hours worth of content guys two hours so much content uh but okay next up Kohl's to get that 95 back in my pocket because I still still got a little bit of money to spend and shout out to my dude a slim thank you so much again for that very generous PayPal donation I I just I just transferred that money uh today to my chime account and that money is going towards my Apple card which is what I use to pay for the Apple Studio display I think I just spit on myself it's okay guys it happens it happens all right I'll see you when I see you probably at McDonald's not gonna lie I'm I'm kind of in the mood for a Filet-O-Fish plus I don't usually go on Fridays for fun yeah all right Amazon return dropped off got a 20 off coupon for Kohl's for my mom says thanks you're welcome I don't shop at Kohl's never have probably never will but I know a lot of people love coals a man props at M though guys the whole Amazon return process is so stupidly simple like it's way way too simple and what's cool is I guarantee you I'll have that refund by tonight because it always says you know you'll get your money back when um what am I doing I gotta go straight through here yeah you'll get your money back when the item arrives or whatever but now they scanned it just now and well yeah I'll have my money by tonight which is really cool all right next stop I think McDonald's really Wawa that way and get a nice coffee yes I had Burger King last night I'm trying not to eat too much fast food all right well while it is oh meatball sandwich it's been a while and I'm home a little brighter please yeah I think it's all on the brightest setting already this is awkward got a cool fee all right all right all right I got a honey hot chicken snack wrap these are actually really good at Wawa and I decided against the meatball instead I got a buffalo chicken cheesesteak with provolone cheese buffalo sauce ranch lettuce and tomato toasted baby I am hyped but first let's say hello to my newest baby the newest addition there she is sleeping guys she's sleeping wake up actually I think it did the update yeah hold on let me see something did it finish installing I don't know I was installing Mac OS Ventura oh yeah wow it installed because system preferences looks so different I forgot about this look at that wow it looks so different very cool so I will I will mess with that later um so very nice um boom it is so nice working on a large display again and guys this is half brightness full brightness look at that boom now of course the camera's going to auto adjust so it might not look that bright to you but believe me it's bright so again half brightness full brightness too bright too bright but God God it's beautiful guys like this is a really nice display and let me play some copyright free music let me see here let me find something interesting okay here we go here we go that's like 80 70 volume all right all right yeah yeah yeah yeah now max volume oh it's very loud like definitely very loud louder than anything I'll ever need from this but you're a lore it sounds so nice and YouTube videos I'm finding I only need at like half the volume uh which is awesome that's obviously a good thing so very very nice all right as much as I love this monitor I just want to eat my lunch oh it installed free form can't wait to not use that now seriously freeform's a good app for those who need it but for for my workflow I will never ever need workflow uh we're um free form hey guys there's a preview of the setup I did move my lights a little bit this light was over here now it's behind the Monitor and this light was way over there now it's closer to the Monitor and even then I might move that light over so it's more balanced and Guys these lights are going to play a huge role when I record video also if you look behind the Apple Studio display actually let me let me turn these lights on believe me I want to eat lunch very very badly I'm so hungry but I want to give you guys an update on my setup you'll notice that the Apple Studio display which is absolutely beautiful by the way look at that design guys look at that design and yes this display actually has built-in fans it puts out airflow constantly it's very very quiet but uh back here I left enough room because I think I'm gonna get the same monopod that attaches the cameras the same monopod I have upstairs in my gaming room I'm going to use that on my camera whenever I decide to buy a camera I mean it's not exactly well it kind of is a priority so it is a good chance I'll have it by next week uh but this this is a desk mat I got I'm still flattening it out a little bit but I really like this guys it's felt it's very very soft and it's very grippy it barely moves look at that very very nice and this is my 2017 MacBook which I did update to Mac OS Ventura the fact that a 2017 MacBook can run the newest Mac OS from Apple that that just says so much about Apple guys like they are so big on keeping their older devices supported and working just fine now obviously it is going to be a cut off at some point also I got some Wireless mics to use my iPhone check this out I haven't really used them too much yet but I will shortly and they charge in this airpod style case which is awesome and I have to I have to organize this drawer that's kind of like my drawer of things I'm going to use um pretty pretty frequently and yes my MacBook Pro is in docked mode I'm using it as a desktop for now I think I'm still gonna get a Mac Mini at some point I just don't really have the money for that right now I have a lamp coming tomorrow we're just gonna go over there I have a hub which is going to sit right here on the base so previously these Hitachi monitor stand was underneath the monitor uh but I just didn't like how it looked and honestly I don't I don't really need a riser I mean it's just fine it's just fine how it is and I have some LEDs for I mean I already have LEDs on the bottom how that was my knee I I have some LEDs in the bottom which come on every night automatically but I also ordered a shorts rgbic lighting kit from Govi and I'm going to put that on the back of this desk which will be nice because I want to have some sorry I want to have some illumination I thought about putting LEDs in the back of this display but hell no hell no nothing is touching this beautiful Apple product yeah it's gonna remain vanilla all right so I need my lunch guys I'm gonna watch episode 2 of Yellowjackets I think one of my patrons recommended it it was okay so far like you know it's not captivating me like from did or The Last of Us um but it's interesting enough to the point where I am curious about episode two and why they they turn out so weird and vicious but it is what it is all right can I eat now I'm gonna put this inside me now that I need more coffee but I made more coffee guys I did something today that I did not expect to do and I think many people will approve of this purchase because apparently it's a very loved camera like people are obsessed with this camera and it stands the test of time because it is by no means a newer camera but I bought second hand on eBay and I don't normally do this but I'm not going to save a little bit of money you know I mean I just dropped sixteen hundred dollars on this freaking display worth it though I'm loving it anyway I bought myself the Panasonic Lumix G7 on eBay and with the lens and everything and I think a spare battery which I'm not going to use because I'm going to use a dummy battery I paid exactly 350.65 and on Amazon brand new even with a discount they're asking 547.99 plus tax so I saved about a couple hundred dollars by going with eBay and I am by no means going to be using this camera outside of this room at least I don't think it will be it's going to be used exclusively in here for Creative Finance videos and maybe the occasional product review stuff like that when I need you know like a more versatile camera than just using my iPhone or whatever but anyway um yeah it's gonna go behind the display just like my setup upstairs the Sony a6100 I confirmed sorry I'm watching Doc play Star Wars which looks really good by the way that might be my next single player game uh anyway guys it should be here next week I don't I don't see why not so now I gotta order myself an HDMI capture device and I think I found a cheap one on Amazon which will hopefully do the trick for like less than twenty dollars that's insane if it works and then next I need an audio interface eventually at some point I want to get like an audio mixer let me turn this down and yes I'm using my homepod minis love them and by the way they are plenty plenty loud enough I mean obviously they're not as loud as my regular sidestone pods which still have not sold but when they do sell that's like 400 in my pocket so I'm excited about that anyway guys the hobot mini is if you're curious they are more than loud for a room of this size absolutely worth it what was it saying oh yeah So eventually at some point my next big purchase I'm talking like two or three hundred dollars is to get some kind of audio interface you know like a mixer like the go XLR upstairs but I don't need the go Explorer that's overkill for what I need uh but basically I want some kind of audio DAC down here to drive an XLR shotgun microphone my goal is to have it out of sight and basically have the mic up here at all times just pointing at me and because it's a shotgun microphone yeah I mean it'll capture the audio directly in front and that's where I'll be sitting but for now I do have this and from what I can recall this microphone works just fine this is the Blue Yeti microphone it is USB it's by no means a fancy XLR mic but it's built extremely well I mean it's heavy only thing is I don't want it sitting on the desk so if I make any booms or whatever it'll transfer the audio through the mic I just fur on it uh so at some point I might just get a mic arm but that's the thing I don't really want a mic arm I I don't want a mic arm in the shot so I think for the time being I'll just have this like out of sight and I'll just increase the gain we'll see we'll see I'm in a rush but I'm I'm definitely very very excited about that guys Panasonic Lumix GS sorry G7 I keep one in the closet gx7 or gh7 Panasonic Lumix G7 again it is not a new camera actually let me see if Siri will even now now check it on here here you guys can sit on top of the display enjoy premium baby so Panasonic G7 release date this came out let me see May 2015. wow 2015 and people still use it regularly guys I'm telling you it's a good camera and again it actually stands the test of time and by the way I will I will be getting a better lens I think I'm using the kit lens 14 to 42 millimeter which isn't insane but it's going to get the job done for videos I want to record in here I'm so excited guys this setup is finally coming together I've been talking about this for months absolutely months I'm so ecstatic to just make high quality screen captures for you guys or even just doing this sitting sitting down on my desk and talking about things that have been going on in terms of side hustles so stay tuned good things are coming and of course I have to mention this if you're not already subscribed to creative Finance it is now partnered it is linked right below thank you so much for your support I appreciate it and I appreciate you all right cheers to making changes boom oh that's right now I gotta order a dummy battery that way I can use clean HDMI without the camera Auto shutting off to me those are traditional value respect love it anyway I was getting ready to buy another one of these on Amazon so this is the desk clampable monopod for cameras so basically you can screw your camera up top here and this is what I was talking about this is basically going to go behind my display as I Nick my wall it's okay it's okay so I went to buy it on Amazon right it said currently unavailable so I'm like great but then it said purchased two two times I guess I bought a second one because the main one is used all the time upstairs in my gaming room this kind of proves that I am an Amazon addict and I don't know what I buy sometimes so yeah I mean apparently I bought this twice definitely a good problem to have and that worked out beautifully that just saved me like 20 something dollars or whatever not that I could buy it anyway because apparently it's currently unavailable I kind of recall having a setup like this a while ago where the camera mounts it here so maybe that's what I was doing with my Canon 80d so very cool this is going to go back there awesome awesome awesome might as well keep it out because that camera should come by I think probably Wednesday instead of my patrons you guys already know I did hook up a Windows PC it's right there uh but I will be disconnecting that and connecting this there it is however I can't do this now because I gotta go I made in the pretzels Chinese tonight baby anyway this is the Azul bytes 3. this PC is okay it's connected via HDMI which is really sweet but this one's obviously better it's just bigger larger and more more powerful so I'm gonna have this hooked up over here and this is the power adapter I ordered so I'll do that manana very nice another another project for me to do and if you're wondering this will be used for a live YouTube subscriber counter that way you can see it in the background of some of my videos my Vlogs creative Finance videos whatever that way we can track the progress of my new channel together and it'll be fun to look back on and yes you might be thinking well David haven't you done it before yes I have my um old time viewers I say old time it's only been a few years might recall that I used to have a live subscriber counter it's big David in the Carriage House on my old 46 inch Samsung TV I love that counter unfortunately that counter is no longer supported so I'm gonna have to find one that I like and yes I found a few but I'm very very picky that uh anyway stay tuned okay that's it for now I'll see you at the pretzels it's almost six o'clock let's keep the day going baby I love this feeling of just getting a new setup up and running new camera baby I'm hyped and many many many moments later it is 608 in the morning yeah tonight did not go as planned first of all I apologize for not vlogging at the parental's house at all but I have a good reason the vibe was not right because Fireball is sick um now thankfully he's doing a lot better okay so I think I mentioned it in the past in like recent weeks or so that fireball has had UTI like symptoms um it was never confirmed that he had a like an actual UTI but today he was acting really weird walking around the house strangely and even hiding in the fish tank remember that I didn't even really think twice about it uh but he was just hiding and he was trying to pee like he was straining everywhere in the house so we take him to the emergency vet in the city um because our local vet is closed after past like what six seven o'clock or something like that so long story short they put a catheter on Fireball they kind of put them under but not completely under just enough you know that he can't feel the pain um because according to the vet he was in pain like he was in a lot of pain anyway the catheter cleared him out he peed just fine I think he found a couple crystals or whatever but nothing too serious um and they're gonna keep him overnight until at least Saturday like later today but realistically he's not gonna come home until Sunday but the good news is he should be fine he should be fine um the vet said that we caught it early um so they think he's going to be okay which is awesome news that bird seems really loud I just want to make sure that cats aren't attacking anything yeah so that that's why I didn't Vlog at the Pretzel's house just because the vibe wasn't right you know like when your pet is sick it just kind of changes the mood and you don't you don't want to be on camera and stuff like that uh but I'll Vlog the parents on Sunday I promise but anyway fireball's fine don't worry at least as far as we know and of course I'll keep you guys updated anyway with all that said guys thank you so much for another great stream tonight I played The Last of Us for like four or five hours excuse me and then we played fortnite for a few hours hence why it's right at 6 10 in the morning all right I gotta rest my voice kitties are just looking at me they were inside for a little bit they're so cute um yeah I'm gonna get some rest I'll see you guys later today happy Saturday everybody hi zero you want to tell them what you found outside so zero was just laying in the middle of the grass which he rarely does so I thought something was up and what do you know he's playing with this little guy it looks like a baby groundhog right because I have two fairly well not not large but pretty much the size of my phone like the uh with I have I have like two holes in my yard and he wasn't far from it so I'm assuming it's a baby groundhog now thankfully zero being the awesome cat he is he did not kill him I don't know if he heard him that might be a scratch I don't think so I think it's just darker fur but he looked okay I mean he was moving around he looked a little nervous so I called zero and he came running in good Boise because let's face it it was this guy or a gizmo or little stripes or any of the other cats they probably would have killed him and I hope they don't find him the cats aren't going to be here for another hour or two at least I know I know it's funny the cats are on a schedule but seriously I think the uh groundhog should be safe I don't know though there's nothing I can do I can't I can't protect the groundhog it's it's nature it's just gotta take its course hopefully hopefully he or she survives anyway guys it is indeed Wednesday it's already 5 52 p.m yo just made my coffee which was sitting there for like 20 minutes because I got distracted by my office I'm still trying to figure out a setup that I'm happy with zero you going pee oh God boy you're such a good boy I changed my wallpaper that didn't matter see you guys but I'm just saying and I moved the monitor up a little bit because I was watching a video typically speaking you want to have the monitor excuse me at like an arm's length and the top of the monitor should be at eye level which it is right now so I'm glad I did return the satachi Hub and by the way Amazon already paid me guys I told you they would baby I love it I was on so fast um I'm still not crazy about the Logitech mouse I might prefer the Apple Magic Mouse which isn't even a great Mouse but all the gestures play so well with Mac OS and I would use my trackpad but because of the felt um dustpad I'm using when I click in with the magic Trackpad like a weird vibration goes through to my palm and I don't I don't want to feel that every time I click and guys it's literally just because of the felt like this is a nice nice uh desk mat but we'll see obviously I have options uh but anyway despite how much I love this display is a living room day because it's the weekend you know I'm trying my best to make this a weekday only room uh that way I can separate my work from my pleasure but of course with that said I'm gonna be taking my coffee into I see into the living room and getting some work done on my 2017 MacBook this thing just keeps chugging along guys and it was actually sponsored a while ago via backmarket.com I'm so so thankful for that sponsorship um I mean it's not the fastest notebook by today's means um today's standards but it's great like it really is a great notebook it does exactly what I needed to do I mean it's honestly just there for email some light editing in canva and maybe some light editing in Final Cut Pro 10 here and there and I did get some Amazon packages in which is awesome but I've decided I'm going to save these unboxings and first impressions for Monday easy pigeons only a velocity Vlog so patrons stay tuned you're going to get a first look at my new office layout so for now these are going to be sitting in here and I did receive an eBay alert saying that my Panasonic Lumix G7 is shipping so I don't know if that means he shipped it today being a Saturday it's obviously it's not going out tomorrow but uh yeah realistically speaking I should have it by I think Wednesday I saw a Facebook Messenger on here yeah there's there's some apps on here that I gotta get rid of I have OBS on here why maybe just for experimental reasons I don't know anyway guys all that aside I received some amazing news last night I was finally approved for a sponsorship that I started back in January because they had some content edits they had some people moved around in there anyway I'm not gonna bore you with details but I was approved finally and I get to post that and that money is going to help me which is which is awesome put yourself out there you can come with me I'll give you the private tour oh baby I mean it's okay with him that was a lot of work unfortunately the the platform that the sponsor uses isn't the best in the sense that well it makes it easy to manage the content but the finalized version of the content that I sent them months ago was so low res that I had to recreate everything myself now thankfully I saved pretty much everything I create so I had to go way back to my photos from January and pretty much set up the Instagram story again the Instagram reel was done so that's fine and the Instagram carousel so I think everything's ready to go and I'm set to publish on Monday I'm just reaching out to my contact again because I had to send me a custom uh link which allows them to track you know all the clicks and whatever they get very very thankful for this sponsorship so I'm excited to finally publish that and move on because January guys sponsorships for me are typically done within a month this one took what January February March April about four months which is insane honestly but obviously I'm grateful for the opportunity all right I'm gonna make one more copy then head out the sheets to get some dinner I'm so excited to work on my office this week I definitely have lots of video ideas up here that I want to create but I'm not going to create them until everything is good and that includes my Panasonic G7 arriving I can't wait guys seriously I still cannot believe I actually bought that camera just randomly like that and again let's not forget I saved about two to three hundred dollars by going with eBay oh and I sold to set up this PC patience I'll do that Monday as well there's a lot to look forward to in the next Pages only headache I think it's from the lack of food it's already 7 P.M and I've had nothing to eat guys nothing to eat except for coffee and water and that's not really food obviously but that's why I don't mind you know just going crazy at Sheets and I'm getting getting lots of food essentially on the weekends I have about one average one meal a day one meal dude I gotta go it's past eight o'clock I need to go get dinner I've been watching YouTube videos also I'm just gonna make a quick comment I don't freaking love this 2017 MacBook guys look how small it is it is so light like it's lighter than my iPad Pro was or the keyboard and I can do so much more on here than I can with my iPad Pro aside from the apple pencil functionality of course but I love this notebook Again by no means is it fast is it insanely powerful but it's excellent it's absolutely perfect for what I need to do in my living room just emails and whatever and buy another chair yes I think I'm getting this chair guys I'm very picky I'm extremely picky with chairs the thing is I have at least six chairs throughout this house and four of them probably four or five actually no probably like eight chairs yeah if you guys want a chair let me know like if you're in the area seriously I'll just give you one yeah I'm not even joking let me know anyway I have a lot of chairs and most of them have that so-called lumbar support you know and I hate lumbar support for me it's just every lumbar support I've ever used always cuts into my back whether it's a cheap chair or an expensive chair I I hate lumbar supports so I like the high back or mid-back chairs just like the soft leather kind you know pleather um coming on patreon dang says congrats David thank you thank you that's about the partnership thank you appreciate that very much um anyway I just I just like the basic office chairs you know like the classic officers soft leather wide seat nice um armrest no obnoxious lumbar support but even then this chair has a built-in I shouldn't say built in just an included zipper in the back which means if you wanted to insert your own back support like a pillow or some kind of back support system you could so I think I'm gonna buy this uh chair it's only 72 dollars plus tax which isn't bad and I can have it by Monday so with that said I want to link this exact chat right below because again I think the fact that you can insert your own back support is huge now of course I'm not saying you should not have a back support because for most people probably it's important but for me I just it hurts you know I I view so many chairs where it's quite literally like jolting into my back and and it hurts over time anyway why am I talking about chairs on the weekend Vlog I don't know guys I don't know all right adding to my cart I think I'm gonna order this 72 dollars for a chair is not bad and I realize I'm gonna get some people saying well David you should you should spend a lot of money on a quality chair I agree I agree but I have spent a lot of money on chairs and I've wasted so much money because I'm not going to go through the process of actually returning the chair just every single chair I buy is a Gamble uh but this one I'm fairly confident in seeing it work out so 76 dollars and eight cents with tax and it'll be here on Monday I'm okay with that all right it's 808 can I go get some freaking dinner guys I've had nothing to eat plus I gotta stream in less than two hours and I'm home Maui enjoy your food zero you're not going out dude I'm sorry I'm sorry I I don't know where that little groundhog is and the thing is the cats are back there's there's little Z so I I just don't want to add one more chance to that groundhog getting killed you know all right back from sheets guys I got a couple tots oh they have the best tots I love their tater tots so much a side actually two sides I guess of Dr Pepper barbecue sauce I feel like oh wait never mind never mind because this thing I feel like they could have topped this a little more no that still applies I feel like they could have given me like five extra tots but it's okay it's okay it's probably for the better and my usual spicy chicken sandwich with heavy mayonnaise uh normal only honey mustard caramelized onions and mixing it up this time guys cheddar cheese lettuce tomato and I think that's it boom Oh my God oh my God that looks amazing I'm so hyped and I'm watching a show called The Wilds it's another show on Prime video about a plane crash and people are trying to survive how many shows can there be about a plane crash I don't know so I couldn't get into Yellow Jackets I'm sorry I tried I can see why people like it I just can't feel for the characters and you're like I don't I don't have feeling for the characters like I do on lost and from my God from was so good but this one has potential so we'll see how it goes it's already 904. today really got away from me but it was productive I finished that sponsorship I reached out to my contact and I hope to publish all those posts on Instagram by Monday and hey I'm on Instagram check me out thank you so much many many moments later again it is now Sunday night 9 16. p.m I did it again I'm so sorry I went to full night without vlogging zip rentals it just wasn't the kind of vlogging that you know because I got there late for dinner which was amazing by the way we had spicy chicken salad oh my God Mom thank you so much I'm a big salad guy I know I wouldn't show with my 18 double chins that makes sense um but seriously Mom thank you so much but Patron stay tuned I promise I will Vlog the family plenty tomorrow if you got to bring home leftover chicken zero is not feeling well but he's fine but his eye is swollen because he he got scratched or a bit like right above his eye so the swollen portion of that bite or whatever is kind of making his eye appear like squinty now he's fine you know right Z you're fine I mean he's he's acting fine he's eating he's drinking he's peeing his pooping he's doing all the zero stuff you know uh but he's just squinting like this so anyway hopefully this swelling will go down within a few days Maui you here he's finally sleeping on his Tower oh and by the way speaking of cats Fireball is home mom and dad brought him home last night at like one in the morning props to them because my parents are not like me they are not nighttime people at all so respect for bringing them home early but yeah if I'm also in great he peed uh his appetite is good apparently and he's acting like himself which means I did get to spend some time with him tonight and he was just kind of laying on my chest purring like crazy and acting like himself which is which is awesome so fireball's good guys thank you so much for for your uh kind words and hopefully he stays okay because you know he had symptoms like this a while ago but this is definitely the peak event uh so hopefully the rest is just good anyway guys I'm done thank you so much I'm tired if you can't tell I'm very tired I didn't go to bed until seven in the morning and I woke up a lot there's something about me lately I just I just can't get a full night's sleep like consistent I wake up on average at least three to five times a night hi Z don't go outside no you're definitely not going out something scratched you or you

I'll see you tonight anyway my God David Focus tonight I believe we're doing Chinese for dinner I'm hyped because I've been I've been at Chinese in like probably two weeks which isn't a long time but it kind of feels like a long time because I love Chinese food so I think that's what we're doing all right let's go in the car guys I have a lot to talk about and I'm not going to talk about too much because I've already done that this week shout out to my patrons guys I'm just gonna plug my patreon for five dollars a month you get exclusive access to over 300 300 Vlogs that's a lot of content if you're looking for new stuff to watch my old stuff my new stuff it's all there for five dollars a month and guys let me just tell you this this week's Pages only Vlog was over two hours long two hours long that's a lot of content it was a lot of work to get that done a lot of editing a lot of patience and I had to export it twice because I found a major editing error but that's why you preview your own content don't be lazy uh but anyway yeah I will link that Vlog right below guys it details everything regarding my YouTube partnership my brand new Apple Studio display and I'll be talking about that in the car so let's go got some things to get done the apple looks at your company and says your patents aren't great your people seem interesting we think this needs to be not just an accessory but fundamentally part of our platform all right I am on my way to Z post office if you look to my right that might look like an eBay sale going out right yeah or it just looks like an Amazon package that's what it originally was so I'm taking it back okay well hold on I'm not dropping that off at the post office this is an Amazon return and I'm dropping it off at Kohl's I wish I wish you could drop it off at the post office this guy is riding me I'm going five over in the rain in residential anyway in this box is a satachi sateki satiki I've heard many many different pronunciations um so Itachi monitor Riser that I got for my Apple Studio display yes the Apple Studio display guys I am loving it it's an absolutely beautiful display and I had this same monitor riser for my iMac and I loved it on my iMac absolutely loved it but there's something about the Apple Studio display it it feels fine with the eye height level maybe the iMac was a little lower but I doubt it because the bezels were thicker in the iMac or maybe I just gotten used to having a low monitor because of my gaming PC upstairs I'm not sure but either way this is going back it was like 95 so hey that's 95 back in my bank account that I can put towards other purchases because I definitely have a few few other things I want to buy for my new setup revised setup I should say because it's the same desk uh but yes my Apple Studio display is beautiful guys it's currently connected to my um 14 inch MacBook Pro love it love it love it and I'll be talking about that more in detail in a bit so I'm here because I'm checking my PO Box I have a sponsored product review coming up and DHL is bringing it to my P.O box today it said yesterday but I guess I guess it was delayed so I'm hoping it's in my P.O box and if it's not then it's not and I'm hoping the PS5 is not in there because I'm still waiting to hear back from that in regards to the eBay return it's kind of weird I mean no news is good news in this case so the less I hear the better but hey like I said in the patrons Vlog if it comes back it comes back but either way I'm gonna I'm gonna check my P.O box eBay's been very slow this week by the way very very slow I haven't really sold much which is honestly fine I'm not really focused on that this week my biggest Focus was the fact that yes I am now a YouTube partner on Creative Finance thank you guys so much for all the kind well wishes congratulations all that stuff thank you if you reached out I truly truly do appreciate you so much creative Finance is my foundation for my future guys it's quite literally my Foundation I'm setting up a new Revenue Source obviously it's not going to be anything big right now I'm making a dollar to a day but I'm hoping to turn that into like 20 to 30 a day and maybe even a hundred dollars a day like that that's my long-term goal 100 a day doing what I truly love to do online so we'll see all right let me go check my P.O box and then we are going to skip Goodwill today I'm sorry uh I I'm just not in the mood to go thrift thing because I want to drop this off at Kohl's then maybe McDonald's for lunch I don't know maybe Wawa I'm not sure yet but we'll figure it out it is nasty out there nothing in my P.O box so I'll check again later tonight me mom is texting me oh it's not downloading I'm in like uh a a dead pocket if you will it's very weird like service is fine right over there by Rutter's but over here by the post office don't even count on getting anything good yeah the occasional text might make its way through but in regards to like actual service images videos all right next stop Kohl's and I'm going to later today when I get home I'm going to start looking for clean clean HDMI capable cameras much like my Sony camera upstairs I think it's a Sony a6100 or 1600 I don't know I I always mix up the model numbers either way I'll link that exact camera right below guys that's the camera I use for my live streams on Twitch and it puts out what we call clean HDMI basically this means you can have your camera running at all times without recording but you can see a live preview on your stream in OBS or screenflow which is what I'll be using while not showing all the metadata and all that stuff um you know in terms of uh your your shutter speed your aperture focal length battery life all of that information is completely hidden and that's huge for someone like me I use that all the time I use it religiously said it's definitely something I need and that's something I want because I'm not going to only be using the built-in webcam on the Apple City display which I still have to update I am I am currently upgrading to Mac OS Ventura finally it only took me six months or so um but I'm upgrading to that first that way I can upgrade my or update my Apple Studio display because apparently the webcam is going to get a little better but even though the webcam is not a big deal to me uh I bought the display oh okay well hold on the web game is kind of a big deal I like I like the convenience I use that for screenflow but for my higher quality videos where I want like a full screen version of me then I'm actually going to use a physical camera like like my Sony upstairs and who knows I might even buy the same exact Sony just have a second one for downstairs in my office we'll see um but guys the apple cider display First Impressions absolutely incredible I am so happy with the image Clarity my God the pixel density is absolutely perfect it's super freaking sharp it's so crisp the colors are amazing the 600 nice brightness is amazing the only thing I miss is promotion 120 hertz refresh rate Honestly though guys that in no way is going to affect my work it's not going to affect my workflow my productivity it's more of a premium feature that just makes things look better and feel better um so I do miss it but why are my lights on that's that's the thing about the Tesla my lights don't always come on automatically when it's raining um but anyway I'm loving a display guys and the speakers sound really good the speakers sound incredible they're so loud they're very very Bassy like I actually felt a little bit of bass I think in my desk or in my feet today when I was watching a video I'm like damn these sound good but obviously they're not going to replace actual studio monitors like Studio speakers or stuff like that oh my God let me tell you if you're looking for a clean setup like I am the studio display monitor uh sorry this studio display speakers are more than good enough they sound freaking fantastic they sound really really good uh but then again I expect it from Apple Apple goes above and beyond with their speaker design typically anyway there you have it an update on my studio display I'm loving it guys and of course if you want to hear more about my studio display I'll be linking the pigeons only Vlog right below again over two hours worth of content guys two hours so much content uh but okay next up Kohl's to get that 95 back in my pocket because I still still got a little bit of money to spend and shout out to my dude a slim thank you so much again for that very generous PayPal donation I I just I just transferred that money uh today to my chime account and that money is going towards my Apple card which is what I use to pay for the Apple Studio display I think I just spit on myself it's okay guys it happens it happens all right I'll see you when I see you probably at McDonald's not gonna lie I'm I'm kind of in the mood for a Filet-O-Fish plus I don't usually go on Fridays for fun yeah all right Amazon return dropped off got a 20 off coupon for Kohl's for my mom says thanks you're welcome I don't shop at Kohl's never have probably never will but I know a lot of people love coals a man props at M though guys the whole Amazon return process is so stupidly simple like it's way way too simple and what's cool is I guarantee you I'll have that refund by tonight because it always says you know you'll get your money back when um what am I doing I gotta go straight through here yeah you'll get your money back when the item arrives or whatever but now they scanned it just now and well yeah I'll have my money by tonight which is really cool all right next stop I think McDonald's really Wawa that way and get a nice coffee yes I had Burger King last night I'm trying not to eat too much fast food all right well while it is oh meatball sandwich it's been a while and I'm home a little brighter please yeah I think it's all on the brightest setting already this is awkward got a cool fee all right all right all right I got a honey hot chicken snack wrap these are actually really good at Wawa and I decided against the meatball instead I got a buffalo chicken cheesesteak with provolone cheese buffalo sauce ranch lettuce and tomato toasted baby I am hyped but first let's say hello to my newest baby the newest addition there she is sleeping guys she's sleeping wake up actually I think it did the update yeah hold on let me see something did it finish installing I don't know I was installing Mac OS Ventura oh yeah wow it installed because system preferences looks so different I forgot about this look at that wow it looks so different very cool so I will I will mess with that later um so very nice um boom it is so nice working on a large display again and guys this is half brightness full brightness look at that boom now of course the camera's going to auto adjust so it might not look that bright to you but believe me it's bright so again half brightness full brightness too bright too bright but God God it's beautiful guys like this is a really nice display and let me play some copyright free music let me see here let me find something interesting okay here we go here we go that's like 80 70 volume all right all right yeah yeah yeah yeah now max volume oh it's very loud like definitely very loud louder than anything I'll ever need from this but you're a lore it sounds so nice and YouTube videos I'm finding I only need at like half the volume uh which is awesome that's obviously a good thing so very very nice all right as much as I love this monitor I just want to eat my lunch oh it installed free form can't wait to not use that now seriously freeform's a good app for those who need it but for for my workflow I will never ever need workflow uh we're um free form hey guys there's a preview of the setup I did move my lights a little bit this light was over here now it's behind the Monitor and this light was way over there now it's closer to the Monitor and even then I might move that light over so it's more balanced and Guys these lights are going to play a huge role when I record video also if you look behind the Apple Studio display actually let me let me turn these lights on believe me I want to eat lunch very very badly I'm so hungry but I want to give you guys an update on my setup you'll notice that the Apple Studio display which is absolutely beautiful by the way look at that design guys look at that design and yes this display actually has built-in fans it puts out airflow constantly it's very very quiet but uh back here I left enough room because I think I'm gonna get the same monopod that attaches the cameras the same monopod I have upstairs in my gaming room I'm going to use that on my camera whenever I decide to buy a camera I mean it's not exactly well it kind of is a priority so it is a good chance I'll have it by next week uh but this this is a desk mat I got I'm still flattening it out a little bit but I really like this guys it's felt it's very very soft and it's very grippy it barely moves look at that very very nice and this is my 2017 MacBook which I did update to Mac OS Ventura the fact that a 2017 MacBook can run the newest Mac OS from Apple that that just says so much about Apple guys like they are so big on keeping their older devices supported and working just fine now obviously it is going to be a cut off at some point also I got some Wireless mics to use my iPhone check this out I haven't really used them too much yet but I will shortly and they charge in this airpod style case which is awesome and I have to I have to organize this drawer that's kind of like my drawer of things I'm going to use um pretty pretty frequently and yes my MacBook Pro is in docked mode I'm using it as a desktop for now I think I'm still gonna get a Mac Mini at some point I just don't really have the money for that right now I have a lamp coming tomorrow we're just gonna go over there I have a hub which is going to sit right here on the base so previously these Hitachi monitor stand was underneath the monitor uh but I just didn't like how it looked and honestly I don't I don't really need a riser I mean it's just fine it's just fine how it is and I have some LEDs for I mean I already have LEDs on the bottom how that was my knee I I have some LEDs in the bottom which come on every night automatically but I also ordered a shorts rgbic lighting kit from Govi and I'm going to put that on the back of this desk which will be nice because I want to have some sorry I want to have some illumination I thought about putting LEDs in the back of this display but hell no hell no nothing is touching this beautiful Apple product yeah it's gonna remain vanilla all right so I need my lunch guys I'm gonna watch episode 2 of Yellowjackets I think one of my patrons recommended it it was okay so far like you know it's not captivating me like from did or The Last of Us um but it's interesting enough to the point where I am curious about episode two and why they they turn out so weird and vicious but it is what it is all right can I eat now I'm gonna put this inside me now that I need more coffee but I made more coffee guys I did something today that I did not expect to do and I think many people will approve of this purchase because apparently it's a very loved camera like people are obsessed with this camera and it stands the test of time because it is by no means a newer camera but I bought second hand on eBay and I don't normally do this but I'm not going to save a little bit of money you know I mean I just dropped sixteen hundred dollars on this freaking display worth it though I'm loving it anyway I bought myself the Panasonic Lumix G7 on eBay and with the lens and everything and I think a spare battery which I'm not going to use because I'm going to use a dummy battery I paid exactly 350.65 and on Amazon brand new even with a discount they're asking 547.99 plus tax so I saved about a couple hundred dollars by going with eBay and I am by no means going to be using this camera outside of this room at least I don't think it will be it's going to be used exclusively in here for Creative Finance videos and maybe the occasional product review stuff like that when I need you know like a more versatile camera than just using my iPhone or whatever but anyway um yeah it's gonna go behind the display just like my setup upstairs the Sony a6100 I confirmed sorry I'm watching Doc play Star Wars which looks really good by the way that might be my next single player game uh anyway guys it should be here next week I don't I don't see why not so now I gotta order myself an HDMI capture device and I think I found a cheap one on Amazon which will hopefully do the trick for like less than twenty dollars that's insane if it works and then next I need an audio interface eventually at some point I want to get like an audio mixer let me turn this down and yes I'm using my homepod minis love them and by the way they are plenty plenty loud enough I mean obviously they're not as loud as my regular sidestone pods which still have not sold but when they do sell that's like 400 in my pocket so I'm excited about that anyway guys the hobot mini is if you're curious they are more than loud for a room of this size absolutely worth it what was it saying oh yeah So eventually at some point my next big purchase I'm talking like two or three hundred dollars is to get some kind of audio interface you know like a mixer like the go XLR upstairs but I don't need the go Explorer that's overkill for what I need uh but basically I want some kind of audio DAC down here to drive an XLR shotgun microphone my goal is to have it out of sight and basically have the mic up here at all times just pointing at me and because it's a shotgun microphone yeah I mean it'll capture the audio directly in front and that's where I'll be sitting but for now I do have this and from what I can recall this microphone works just fine this is the Blue Yeti microphone it is USB it's by no means a fancy XLR mic but it's built extremely well I mean it's heavy only thing is I don't want it sitting on the desk so if I make any booms or whatever it'll transfer the audio through the mic I just fur on it uh so at some point I might just get a mic arm but that's the thing I don't really want a mic arm I I don't want a mic arm in the shot so I think for the time being I'll just have this like out of sight and I'll just increase the gain we'll see we'll see I'm in a rush but I'm I'm definitely very very excited about that guys Panasonic Lumix GS sorry G7 I keep one in the closet gx7 or gh7 Panasonic Lumix G7 again it is not a new camera actually let me see if Siri will even now now check it on here here you guys can sit on top of the display enjoy premium baby so Panasonic G7 release date this came out let me see May 2015. wow 2015 and people still use it regularly guys I'm telling you it's a good camera and again it actually stands the test of time and by the way I will I will be getting a better lens I think I'm using the kit lens 14 to 42 millimeter which isn't insane but it's going to get the job done for videos I want to record in here I'm so excited guys this setup is finally coming together I've been talking about this for months absolutely months I'm so ecstatic to just make high quality screen captures for you guys or even just doing this sitting sitting down on my desk and talking about things that have been going on in terms of side hustles so stay tuned good things are coming and of course I have to mention this if you're not already subscribed to creative Finance it is now partnered it is linked right below thank you so much for your support I appreciate it and I appreciate you all right cheers to making changes boom oh that's right now I gotta order a dummy battery that way I can use clean HDMI without the camera Auto shutting off to me those are traditional value respect love it anyway I was getting ready to buy another one of these on Amazon so this is the desk clampable monopod for cameras so basically you can screw your camera up top here and this is what I was talking about this is basically going to go behind my display as I Nick my wall it's okay it's okay so I went to buy it on Amazon right it said currently unavailable so I'm like great but then it said purchased two two times I guess I bought a second one because the main one is used all the time upstairs in my gaming room this kind of proves that I am an Amazon addict and I don't know what I buy sometimes so yeah I mean apparently I bought this twice definitely a good problem to have and that worked out beautifully that just saved me like 20 something dollars or whatever not that I could buy it anyway because apparently it's currently unavailable I kind of recall having a setup like this a while ago where the camera mounts it here so maybe that's what I was doing with my Canon 80d so very cool this is going to go back there awesome awesome awesome might as well keep it out because that camera should come by I think probably Wednesday instead of my patrons you guys already know I did hook up a Windows PC it's right there uh but I will be disconnecting that and connecting this there it is however I can't do this now because I gotta go I made in the pretzels Chinese tonight baby anyway this is the Azul bytes 3. this PC is okay it's connected via HDMI which is really sweet but this one's obviously better it's just bigger larger and more more powerful so I'm gonna have this hooked up over here and this is the power adapter I ordered so I'll do that manana very nice another another project for me to do and if you're wondering this will be used for a live YouTube subscriber counter that way you can see it in the background of some of my videos my Vlogs creative Finance videos whatever that way we can track the progress of my new channel together and it'll be fun to look back on and yes you might be thinking well David haven't you done it before yes I have my um old time viewers I say old time it's only been a few years might recall that I used to have a live subscriber counter it's big David in the Carriage House on my old 46 inch Samsung TV I love that counter unfortunately that counter is no longer supported so I'm gonna have to find one that I like and yes I found a few but I'm very very picky that uh anyway stay tuned okay that's it for now I'll see you at the pretzels it's almost six o'clock let's keep the day going baby I love this feeling of just getting a new setup up and running new camera baby I'm hyped and many many many moments later it is 608 in the morning yeah tonight did not go as planned first of all I apologize for not vlogging at the parental's house at all but I have a good reason the vibe was not right because Fireball is sick um now thankfully he's doing a lot better okay so I think I mentioned it in the past in like recent weeks or so that fireball has had UTI like symptoms um it was never confirmed that he had a like an actual UTI but today he was acting really weird walking around the house strangely and even hiding in the fish tank remember that I didn't even really think twice about it uh but he was just hiding and he was trying to pee like he was straining everywhere in the house so we take him to the emergency vet in the city um because our local vet is closed after past like what six seven o'clock or something like that so long story short they put a catheter on Fireball they kind of put them under but not completely under just enough you know that he can't feel the pain um because according to the vet he was in pain like he was in a lot of pain anyway the catheter cleared him out he peed just fine I think he found a couple crystals or whatever but nothing too serious um and they're gonna keep him overnight until at least Saturday like later today but realistically he's not gonna come home until Sunday but the good news is he should be fine he should be fine um the vet said that we caught it early um so they think he's going to be okay which is awesome news that bird seems really loud I just want to make sure that cats aren't attacking anything yeah so that that's why I didn't Vlog at the Pretzel's house just because the vibe wasn't right you know like when your pet is sick it just kind of changes the mood and you don't you don't want to be on camera and stuff like that uh but I'll Vlog the parents on Sunday I promise but anyway fireball's fine don't worry at least as far as we know and of course I'll keep you guys updated anyway with all that said guys thank you so much for another great stream tonight I played The Last of Us for like four or five hours excuse me and then we played fortnite for a few hours hence why it's right at 6 10 in the morning all right I gotta rest my voice kitties are just looking at me they were inside for a little bit they're so cute um yeah I'm gonna get some rest I'll see you guys later today happy Saturday everybody hi zero you want to tell them what you found outside so zero was just laying in the middle of the grass which he rarely does so I thought something was up and what do you know he's playing with this little guy it looks like a baby groundhog right because I have two fairly well not not large but pretty much the size of my phone like the uh with I have I have like two holes in my yard and he wasn't far from it so I'm assuming it's a baby groundhog now thankfully zero being the awesome cat he is he did not kill him I don't know if he heard him that might be a scratch I don't think so I think it's just darker fur but he looked okay I mean he was moving around he looked a little nervous so I called zero and he came running in good Boise because let's face it it was this guy or a gizmo or little stripes or any of the other cats they probably would have killed him and I hope they don't find him the cats aren't going to be here for another hour or two at least I know I know it's funny the cats are on a schedule but seriously I think the uh groundhog should be safe I don't know though there's nothing I can do I can't I can't protect the groundhog it's it's nature it's just gotta take its course hopefully hopefully he or she survives anyway guys it is indeed Wednesday it's already 5 52 p.m yo just made my coffee which was sitting there for like 20 minutes because I got distracted by my office I'm still trying to figure out a setup that I'm happy with zero you going pee oh God boy you're such a good boy I changed my wallpaper that didn't matter see you guys but I'm just saying and I moved the monitor up a little bit because I was watching a video typically speaking you want to have the monitor excuse me at like an arm's length and the top of the monitor should be at eye level which it is right now so I'm glad I did return the satachi Hub and by the way Amazon already paid me guys I told you they would baby I love it I was on so fast um I'm still not crazy about the Logitech mouse I might prefer the Apple Magic Mouse which isn't even a great Mouse but all the gestures play so well with Mac OS and I would use my trackpad but because of the felt um dustpad I'm using when I click in with the magic Trackpad like a weird vibration goes through to my palm and I don't I don't want to feel that every time I click and guys it's literally just because of the felt like this is a nice nice uh desk mat but we'll see obviously I have options uh but anyway despite how much I love this display is a living room day because it's the weekend you know I'm trying my best to make this a weekday only room uh that way I can separate my work from my pleasure but of course with that said I'm gonna be taking my coffee into I see into the living room and getting some work done on my 2017 MacBook this thing just keeps chugging along guys and it was actually sponsored a while ago via backmarket.com I'm so so thankful for that sponsorship um I mean it's not the fastest notebook by today's means um today's standards but it's great like it really is a great notebook it does exactly what I needed to do I mean it's honestly just there for email some light editing in canva and maybe some light editing in Final Cut Pro 10 here and there and I did get some Amazon packages in which is awesome but I've decided I'm going to save these unboxings and first impressions for Monday easy pigeons only a velocity Vlog so patrons stay tuned you're going to get a first look at my new office layout so for now these are going to be sitting in here and I did receive an eBay alert saying that my Panasonic Lumix G7 is shipping so I don't know if that means he shipped it today being a Saturday it's obviously it's not going out tomorrow but uh yeah realistically speaking I should have it by I think Wednesday I saw a Facebook Messenger on here yeah there's there's some apps on here that I gotta get rid of I have OBS on here why maybe just for experimental reasons I don't know anyway guys all that aside I received some amazing news last night I was finally approved for a sponsorship that I started back in January because they had some content edits they had some people moved around in there anyway I'm not gonna bore you with details but I was approved finally and I get to post that and that money is going to help me which is which is awesome put yourself out there you can come with me I'll give you the private tour oh baby I mean it's okay with him that was a lot of work unfortunately the the platform that the sponsor uses isn't the best in the sense that well it makes it easy to manage the content but the finalized version of the content that I sent them months ago was so low res that I had to recreate everything myself now thankfully I saved pretty much everything I create so I had to go way back to my photos from January and pretty much set up the Instagram story again the Instagram reel was done so that's fine and the Instagram carousel so I think everything's ready to go and I'm set to publish on Monday I'm just reaching out to my contact again because I had to send me a custom uh link which allows them to track you know all the clicks and whatever they get very very thankful for this sponsorship so I'm excited to finally publish that and move on because January guys sponsorships for me are typically done within a month this one took what January February March April about four months which is insane honestly but obviously I'm grateful for the opportunity all right I'm gonna make one more copy then head out the sheets to get some dinner I'm so excited to work on my office this week I definitely have lots of video ideas up here that I want to create but I'm not going to create them until everything is good and that includes my Panasonic G7 arriving I can't wait guys seriously I still cannot believe I actually bought that camera just randomly like that and again let's not forget I saved about two to three hundred dollars by going with eBay oh and I sold to set up this PC patience I'll do that Monday as well there's a lot to look forward to in the next Pages only headache I think it's from the lack of food it's already 7 P.M and I've had nothing to eat guys nothing to eat except for coffee and water and that's not really food obviously but that's why I don't mind you know just going crazy at Sheets and I'm getting getting lots of food essentially on the weekends I have about one average one meal a day one meal dude I gotta go it's past eight o'clock I need to go get dinner I've been watching YouTube videos also I'm just gonna make a quick comment I don't freaking love this 2017 MacBook guys look how small it is it is so light like it's lighter than my iPad Pro was or the keyboard and I can do so much more on here than I can with my iPad Pro aside from the apple pencil functionality of course but I love this notebook Again by no means is it fast is it insanely powerful but it's excellent it's absolutely perfect for what I need to do in my living room just emails and whatever and buy another chair yes I think I'm getting this chair guys I'm very picky I'm extremely picky with chairs the thing is I have at least six chairs throughout this house and four of them probably four or five actually no probably like eight chairs yeah if you guys want a chair let me know like if you're in the area seriously I'll just give you one yeah I'm not even joking let me know anyway I have a lot of chairs and most of them have that so-called lumbar support you know and I hate lumbar support for me it's just every lumbar support I've ever used always cuts into my back whether it's a cheap chair or an expensive chair I I hate lumbar supports so I like the high back or mid-back chairs just like the soft leather kind you know pleather um coming on patreon dang says congrats David thank you thank you that's about the partnership thank you appreciate that very much um anyway I just I just like the basic office chairs you know like the classic officers soft leather wide seat nice um armrest no obnoxious lumbar support but even then this chair has a built-in I shouldn't say built in just an included zipper in the back which means if you wanted to insert your own back support like a pillow or some kind of back support system you could so I think I'm gonna buy this uh chair it's only 72 dollars plus tax which isn't bad and I can have it by Monday so with that said I want to link this exact chat right below because again I think the fact that you can insert your own back support is huge now of course I'm not saying you should not have a back support because for most people probably it's important but for me I just it hurts you know I I view so many chairs where it's quite literally like jolting into my back and and it hurts over time anyway why am I talking about chairs on the weekend Vlog I don't know guys I don't know all right adding to my cart I think I'm gonna order this 72 dollars for a chair is not bad and I realize I'm gonna get some people saying well David you should you should spend a lot of money on a quality chair I agree I agree but I have spent a lot of money on chairs and I've wasted so much money because I'm not going to go through the process of actually returning the chair just every single chair I buy is a Gamble uh but this one I'm fairly confident in seeing it work out so 76 dollars and eight cents with tax and it'll be here on Monday I'm okay with that all right it's 808 can I go get some freaking dinner guys I've had nothing to eat plus I gotta stream in less than two hours and I'm home Maui enjoy your food zero you're not going out dude I'm sorry I'm sorry I I don't know where that little groundhog is and the thing is the cats are back there's there's little Z so I I just don't want to add one more chance to that groundhog getting killed you know all right back from sheets guys I got a couple tots oh they have the best tots I love their tater tots so much a side actually two sides I guess of Dr Pepper barbecue sauce I feel like oh wait never mind never mind because this thing I feel like they could have topped this a little more no that still applies I feel like they could have given me like five extra tots but it's okay it's okay it's probably for the better and my usual spicy chicken sandwich with heavy mayonnaise uh normal only honey mustard caramelized onions and mixing it up this time guys cheddar cheese lettuce tomato and I think that's it boom Oh my God oh my God that looks amazing I'm so hyped and I'm watching a show called The Wilds it's another show on Prime video about a plane crash and people are trying to survive how many shows can there be about a plane crash I don't know so I couldn't get into Yellow Jackets I'm sorry I tried I can see why people like it I just can't feel for the characters and you're like I don't I don't have feeling for the characters like I do on lost and from my God from was so good but this one has potential so we'll see how it goes it's already 904. today really got away from me but it was productive I finished that sponsorship I reached out to my contact and I hope to publish all those posts on Instagram by Monday and hey I'm on Instagram check me out thank you so much many many moments later again it is now Sunday night 9 16. p.m I did it again I'm so sorry I went to full night without vlogging zip rentals it just wasn't the kind of vlogging that you know because I got there late for dinner which was amazing by the way we had spicy chicken salad oh my God Mom thank you so much I'm a big salad guy I know I wouldn't show with my 18 double chins that makes sense um but seriously Mom thank you so much but Patron stay tuned I promise I will Vlog the family plenty tomorrow if you got to bring home leftover chicken zero is not feeling well but he's fine but his eye is swollen because he he got scratched or a bit like right above his eye so the swollen portion of that bite or whatever is kind of making his eye appear like squinty now he's fine you know right Z you're fine I mean he's he's acting fine he's eating he's drinking he's peeing his pooping he's doing all the zero stuff you know uh but he's just squinting like this so anyway hopefully this swelling will go down within a few days Maui you here he's finally sleeping on his Tower oh and by the way speaking of cats Fireball is home mom and dad brought him home last night at like one in the morning props to them because my parents are not like me they are not nighttime people at all so respect for bringing them home early but yeah if I'm also in great he peed uh his appetite is good apparently and he's acting like himself which means I did get to spend some time with him tonight and he was just kind of laying on my chest purring like crazy and acting like himself which is which is awesome so fireball's good guys thank you so much for for your uh kind words and hopefully he stays okay because you know he had symptoms like this a while ago but this is definitely the peak event uh so hopefully the rest is just good anyway guys I'm done thank you so much I'm tired if you can't tell I'm very tired I didn't go to bed until seven in the morning and I woke up a lot there's something about me lately I just I just can't get a full night's sleep like consistent I wake up on average at least three to five times a night hi Z don't go outside no you're definitely not going out something scratched you or you got stung by a wasp I have no idea God it looks like you just went boxing and his eyes like almost shut completely hey guys thank you so much I'm done I'm gonna watch Scream Six on Plex provided the

doors yeah we're good you never know you never know I just want to play it safe unless you got trapped in the bathroom I'm obsessing for no reason I just worry about everything in my life like literally everything anyway I what was that noise hi fish oh my God Fireball what are you doing we'll get out of there come on why are you in there come on what are you doing crazy kitty I guess you

I'll see you tonight anyway my God David Focus tonight I believe we're doing Chinese for dinner I'm hyped because I've been I've been at Chinese in like probably two weeks which isn't a long time but it kind of feels like a long time because I love Chinese food so I think that's what we're doing all right let's go in the car guys I have a lot to talk about and I'm not going to talk about too much because I've already done that this week shout out to my patrons guys I'm just gonna plug my patreon for five dollars a month you get exclusive access to over 300 300 Vlogs that's a lot of content if you're looking for new stuff to watch my old stuff my new stuff it's all there for five dollars a month and guys let me just tell you this this week's Pages only Vlog was over two hours long two hours long that's a lot of content it was a lot of work to get that done a lot of editing a lot of patience and I had to export it twice because I found a major editing error but that's why you preview your own content don't be lazy uh but anyway yeah I will link that Vlog right below guys it details everything regarding my YouTube partnership my brand new Apple Studio display and I'll be talking about that in the car so let's go got some things to get done the apple looks at your company and says your patents aren't great your people seem interesting we think this needs to be not just an accessory but fundamentally part of our platform all right I am on my way to Z post office if you look to my right that might look like an eBay sale going out right yeah or it just looks like an Amazon package that's what it originally was so I'm taking it back okay well hold on I'm not dropping that off at the post office this is an Amazon return and I'm dropping it off at Kohl's I wish I wish you could drop it off at the post office this guy is riding me I'm going five over in the rain in residential anyway in this box is a satachi sateki satiki I've heard many many different pronunciations um so Itachi monitor Riser that I got for my Apple Studio display yes the Apple Studio display guys I am loving it it's an absolutely beautiful display and I had this same monitor riser for my iMac and I loved it on my iMac absolutely loved it but there's something about the Apple Studio display it it feels fine with the eye height level maybe the iMac was a little lower but I doubt it because the bezels were thicker in the iMac or maybe I just gotten used to having a low monitor because of my gaming PC upstairs I'm not sure but either way this is going back it was like 95 so hey that's 95 back in my bank account that I can put towards other purchases because I definitely have a few few other things I want to buy for my new setup revised setup I should say because it's the same desk uh but yes my Apple Studio display is beautiful guys it's currently connected to my um 14 inch MacBook Pro love it love it love it and I'll be talking about that more in detail in a bit so I'm here because I'm checking my PO Box I have a sponsored product review coming up and DHL is bringing it to my P.O box today it said yesterday but I guess I guess it was delayed so I'm hoping it's in my P.O box and if it's not then it's not and I'm hoping the PS5 is not in there because I'm still waiting to hear back from that in regards to the eBay return it's kind of weird I mean no news is good news in this case so the less I hear the better but hey like I said in the patrons Vlog if it comes back it comes back but either way I'm gonna I'm gonna check my P.O box eBay's been very slow this week by the way very very slow I haven't really sold much which is honestly fine I'm not really focused on that this week my biggest Focus was the fact that yes I am now a YouTube partner on Creative Finance thank you guys so much for all the kind well wishes congratulations all that stuff thank you if you reached out I truly truly do appreciate you so much creative Finance is my foundation for my future guys it's quite literally my Foundation I'm setting up a new Revenue Source obviously it's not going to be anything big right now I'm making a dollar to a day but I'm hoping to turn that into like 20 to 30 a day and maybe even a hundred dollars a day like that that's my long-term goal 100 a day doing what I truly love to do online so we'll see all right let me go check my P.O box and then we are going to skip Goodwill today I'm sorry uh I I'm just not in the mood to go thrift thing because I want to drop this off at Kohl's then maybe McDonald's for lunch I don't know maybe Wawa I'm not sure yet but we'll figure it out it is nasty out there nothing in my P.O box so I'll check again later tonight me mom is texting me oh it's not downloading I'm in like uh a a dead pocket if you will it's very weird like service is fine right over there by Rutter's but over here by the post office don't even count on getting anything good yeah the occasional text might make its way through but in regards to like actual service images videos all right next stop Kohl's and I'm going to later today when I get home I'm going to start looking for clean clean HDMI capable cameras much like my Sony camera upstairs I think it's a Sony a6100 or 1600 I don't know I I always mix up the model numbers either way I'll link that exact camera right below guys that's the camera I use for my live streams on Twitch and it puts out what we call clean HDMI basically this means you can have your camera running at all times without recording but you can see a live preview on your stream in OBS or screenflow which is what I'll be using while not showing all the metadata and all that stuff um you know in terms of uh your your shutter speed your aperture focal length battery life all of that information is completely hidden and that's huge for someone like me I use that all the time I use it religiously said it's definitely something I need and that's something I want because I'm not going to only be using the built-in webcam on the Apple City display which I still have to update I am I am currently upgrading to Mac OS Ventura finally it only took me six months or so um but I'm upgrading to that first that way I can upgrade my or update my Apple Studio display because apparently the webcam is going to get a little better but even though the webcam is not a big deal to me uh I bought the display oh okay well hold on the web game is kind of a big deal I like I like the convenience I use that for screenflow but for my higher quality videos where I want like a full screen version of me then I'm actually going to use a physical camera like like my Sony upstairs and who knows I might even buy the same exact Sony just have a second one for downstairs in my office we'll see um but guys the apple cider display First Impressions absolutely incredible I am so happy with the image Clarity my God the pixel density is absolutely perfect it's super freaking sharp it's so crisp the colors are amazing the 600 nice brightness is amazing the only thing I miss is promotion 120 hertz refresh rate Honestly though guys that in no way is going to affect my work it's not going to affect my workflow my productivity it's more of a premium feature that just makes things look better and feel better um so I do miss it but why are my lights on that's that's the thing about the Tesla my lights don't always come on automatically when it's raining um but anyway I'm loving a display guys and the speakers sound really good the speakers sound incredible they're so loud they're very very Bassy like I actually felt a little bit of bass I think in my desk or in my feet today when I was watching a video I'm like damn these sound good but obviously they're not going to replace actual studio monitors like Studio speakers or stuff like that oh my God let me tell you if you're looking for a clean setup like I am the studio display monitor uh sorry this studio display speakers are more than good enough they sound freaking fantastic they sound really really good uh but then again I expect it from Apple Apple goes above and beyond with their speaker design typically anyway there you have it an update on my studio display I'm loving it guys and of course if you want to hear more about my studio display I'll be linking the pigeons only Vlog right below again over two hours worth of content guys two hours so much content uh but okay next up Kohl's to get that 95 back in my pocket because I still still got a little bit of money to spend and shout out to my dude a slim thank you so much again for that very generous PayPal donation I I just I just transferred that money uh today to my chime account and that money is going towards my Apple card which is what I use to pay for the Apple Studio display I think I just spit on myself it's okay guys it happens it happens all right I'll see you when I see you probably at McDonald's not gonna lie I'm I'm kind of in the mood for a Filet-O-Fish plus I don't usually go on Fridays for fun yeah all right Amazon return dropped off got a 20 off coupon for Kohl's for my mom says thanks you're welcome I don't shop at Kohl's never have probably never will but I know a lot of people love coals a man props at M though guys the whole Amazon return process is so stupidly simple like it's way way too simple and what's cool is I guarantee you I'll have that refund by tonight because it always says you know you'll get your money back when um what am I doing I gotta go straight through here yeah you'll get your money back when the item arrives or whatever but now they scanned it just now and well yeah I'll have my money by tonight which is really cool all right next stop I think McDonald's really Wawa that way and get a nice coffee yes I had Burger King last night I'm trying not to eat too much fast food all right well while it is oh meatball sandwich it's been a while and I'm home a little brighter please yeah I think it's all on the brightest setting already this is awkward got a cool fee all right all right all right I got a honey hot chicken snack wrap these are actually really good at Wawa and I decided against the meatball instead I got a buffalo chicken cheesesteak with provolone cheese buffalo sauce ranch lettuce and tomato toasted baby I am hyped but first let's say hello to my newest baby the newest addition there she is sleeping guys she's sleeping wake up actually I think it did the update yeah hold on let me see something did it finish installing I don't know I was installing Mac OS Ventura oh yeah wow it installed because system preferences looks so different I forgot about this look at that wow it looks so different very cool so I will I will mess with that later um so very nice um boom it is so nice working on a large display again and guys this is half brightness full brightness look at that boom now of course the camera's going to auto adjust so it might not look that bright to you but believe me it's bright so again half brightness full brightness too bright too bright but God God it's beautiful guys like this is a really nice display and let me play some copyright free music let me see here let me find something interesting okay here we go here we go that's like 80 70 volume all right all right yeah yeah yeah yeah now max volume oh it's very loud like definitely very loud louder than anything I'll ever need from this but you're a lore it sounds so nice and YouTube videos I'm finding I only need at like half the volume uh which is awesome that's obviously a good thing so very very nice all right as much as I love this monitor I just want to eat my lunch oh it installed free form can't wait to not use that now seriously freeform's a good app for those who need it but for for my workflow I will never ever need workflow uh we're um free form hey guys there's a preview of the setup I did move my lights a little bit this light was over here now it's behind the Monitor and this light was way over there now it's closer to the Monitor and even then I might move that light over so it's more balanced and Guys these lights are going to play a huge role when I record video also if you look behind the Apple Studio display actually let me let me turn these lights on believe me I want to eat lunch very very badly I'm so hungry but I want to give you guys an update on my setup you'll notice that the Apple Studio display which is absolutely beautiful by the way look at that design guys look at that design and yes this display actually has built-in fans it puts out airflow constantly it's very very quiet but uh back here I left enough room because I think I'm gonna get the same monopod that attaches the cameras the same monopod I have upstairs in my gaming room I'm going to use that on my camera whenever I decide to buy a camera I mean it's not exactly well it kind of is a priority so it is a good chance I'll have it by next week uh but this this is a desk mat I got I'm still flattening it out a little bit but I really like this guys it's felt it's very very soft and it's very grippy it barely moves look at that very very nice and this is my 2017 MacBook which I did update to Mac OS Ventura the fact that a 2017 MacBook can run the newest Mac OS from Apple that that just says so much about Apple guys like they are so big on keeping their older devices supported and working just fine now obviously it is going to be a cut off at some point also I got some Wireless mics to use my iPhone check this out I haven't really used them too much yet but I will shortly and they charge in this airpod style case which is awesome and I have to I have to organize this drawer that's kind of like my drawer of things I'm going to use um pretty pretty frequently and yes my MacBook Pro is in docked mode I'm using it as a desktop for now I think I'm still gonna get a Mac Mini at some point I just don't really have the money for that right now I have a lamp coming tomorrow we're just gonna go over there I have a hub which is going to sit right here on the base so previously these Hitachi monitor stand was underneath the monitor uh but I just didn't like how it looked and honestly I don't I don't really need a riser I mean it's just fine it's just fine how it is and I have some LEDs for I mean I already have LEDs on the bottom how that was my knee I I have some LEDs in the bottom which come on every night automatically but I also ordered a shorts rgbic lighting kit from Govi and I'm going to put that on the back of this desk which will be nice because I want to have some sorry I want to have some illumination I thought about putting LEDs in the back of this display but hell no hell no nothing is touching this beautiful Apple product yeah it's gonna remain vanilla all right so I need my lunch guys I'm gonna watch episode 2 of Yellowjackets I think one of my patrons recommended it it was okay so far like you know it's not captivating me like from did or The Last of Us um but it's interesting enough to the point where I am curious about episode two and why they they turn out so weird and vicious but it is what it is all right can I eat now I'm gonna put this inside me now that I need more coffee but I made more coffee guys I did something today that I did not expect to do and I think many people will approve of this purchase because apparently it's a very loved camera like people are obsessed with this camera and it stands the test of time because it is by no means a newer camera but I bought second hand on eBay and I don't normally do this but I'm not going to save a little bit of money you know I mean I just dropped sixteen hundred dollars on this freaking display worth it though I'm loving it anyway I bought myself the Panasonic Lumix G7 on eBay and with the lens and everything and I think a spare battery which I'm not going to use because I'm going to use a dummy battery I paid exactly 350.65 and on Amazon brand new even with a discount they're asking 547.99 plus tax so I saved about a couple hundred dollars by going with eBay and I am by no means going to be using this camera outside of this room at least I don't think it will be it's going to be used exclusively in here for Creative Finance videos and maybe the occasional product review stuff like that when I need you know like a more versatile camera than just using my iPhone or whatever but anyway um yeah it's gonna go behind the display just like my setup upstairs the Sony a6100 I confirmed sorry I'm watching Doc play Star Wars which looks really good by the way that might be my next single player game uh anyway guys it should be here next week I don't I don't see why not so now I gotta order myself an HDMI capture device and I think I found a cheap one on Amazon which will hopefully do the trick for like less than twenty dollars that's insane if it works and then next I need an audio interface eventually at some point I want to get like an audio mixer let me turn this down and yes I'm using my homepod minis love them and by the way they are plenty plenty loud enough I mean obviously they're not as loud as my regular sidestone pods which still have not sold but when they do sell that's like 400 in my pocket so I'm excited about that anyway guys the hobot mini is if you're curious they are more than loud for a room of this size absolutely worth it what was it saying oh yeah So eventually at some point my next big purchase I'm talking like two or three hundred dollars is to get some kind of audio interface you know like a mixer like the go XLR upstairs but I don't need the go Explorer that's overkill for what I need uh but basically I want some kind of audio DAC down here to drive an XLR shotgun microphone my goal is to have it out of sight and basically have the mic up here at all times just pointing at me and because it's a shotgun microphone yeah I mean it'll capture the audio directly in front and that's where I'll be sitting but for now I do have this and from what I can recall this microphone works just fine this is the Blue Yeti microphone it is USB it's by no means a fancy XLR mic but it's built extremely well I mean it's heavy only thing is I don't want it sitting on the desk so if I make any booms or whatever it'll transfer the audio through the mic I just fur on it uh so at some point I might just get a mic arm but that's the thing I don't really want a mic arm I I don't want a mic arm in the shot so I think for the time being I'll just have this like out of sight and I'll just increase the gain we'll see we'll see I'm in a rush but I'm I'm definitely very very excited about that guys Panasonic Lumix GS sorry G7 I keep one in the closet gx7 or gh7 Panasonic Lumix G7 again it is not a new camera actually let me see if Siri will even now now check it on here here you guys can sit on top of the display enjoy premium baby so Panasonic G7 release date this came out let me see May 2015. wow 2015 and people still use it regularly guys I'm telling you it's a good camera and again it actually stands the test of time and by the way I will I will be getting a better lens I think I'm using the kit lens 14 to 42 millimeter which isn't insane but it's going to get the job done for videos I want to record in here I'm so excited guys this setup is finally coming together I've been talking about this for months absolutely months I'm so ecstatic to just make high quality screen captures for you guys or even just doing this sitting sitting down on my desk and talking about things that have been going on in terms of side hustles so stay tuned good things are coming and of course I have to mention this if you're not already subscribed to creative Finance it is now partnered it is linked right below thank you so much for your support I appreciate it and I appreciate you all right cheers to making changes boom oh that's right now I gotta order a dummy battery that way I can use clean HDMI without the camera Auto shutting off to me those are traditional value respect love it anyway I was getting ready to buy another one of these on Amazon so this is the desk clampable monopod for cameras so basically you can screw your camera up top here and this is what I was talking about this is basically going to go behind my display as I Nick my wall it's okay it's okay so I went to buy it on Amazon right it said currently unavailable so I'm like great but then it said purchased two two times I guess I bought a second one because the main one is used all the time upstairs in my gaming room this kind of proves that I am an Amazon addict and I don't know what I buy sometimes so yeah I mean apparently I bought this twice definitely a good problem to have and that worked out beautifully that just saved me like 20 something dollars or whatever not that I could buy it anyway because apparently it's currently unavailable I kind of recall having a setup like this a while ago where the camera mounts it here so maybe that's what I was doing with my Canon 80d so very cool this is going to go back there awesome awesome awesome might as well keep it out because that camera should come by I think probably Wednesday instead of my patrons you guys already know I did hook up a Windows PC it's right there uh but I will be disconnecting that and connecting this there it is however I can't do this now because I gotta go I made in the pretzels Chinese tonight baby anyway this is the Azul bytes 3. this PC is okay it's connected via HDMI which is really sweet but this one's obviously better it's just bigger larger and more more powerful so I'm gonna have this hooked up over here and this is the power adapter I ordered so I'll do that manana very nice another another project for me to do and if you're wondering this will be used for a live YouTube subscriber counter that way you can see it in the background of some of my videos my Vlogs creative Finance videos whatever that way we can track the progress of my new channel together and it'll be fun to look back on and yes you might be thinking well David haven't you done it before yes I have my um old time viewers I say old time it's only been a few years might recall that I used to have a live subscriber counter it's big David in the Carriage House on my old 46 inch Samsung TV I love that counter unfortunately that counter is no longer supported so I'm gonna have to find one that I like and yes I found a few but I'm very very picky that uh anyway stay tuned okay that's it for now I'll see you at the pretzels it's almost six o'clock let's keep the day going baby I love this feeling of just getting a new setup up and running new camera baby I'm hyped and many many many moments later it is 608 in the morning yeah tonight did not go as planned first of all I apologize for not vlogging at the parental's house at all but I have a good reason the vibe was not right because Fireball is sick um now thankfully he's doing a lot better okay so I think I mentioned it in the past in like recent weeks or so that fireball has had UTI like symptoms um it was never confirmed that he had a like an actual UTI but today he was acting really weird walking around the house strangely and even hiding in the fish tank remember that I didn't even really think twice about it uh but he was just hiding and he was trying to pee like he was straining everywhere in the house so we take him to the emergency vet in the city um because our local vet is closed after past like what six seven o'clock or something like that so long story short they put a catheter on Fireball they kind of put them under but not completely under just enough you know that he can't feel the pain um because according to the vet he was in pain like he was in a lot of pain anyway the catheter cleared him out he peed just fine I think he found a couple crystals or whatever but nothing too serious um and they're gonna keep him overnight until at least Saturday like later today but realistically he's not gonna come home until Sunday but the good news is he should be fine he should be fine um the vet said that we caught it early um so they think he's going to be okay which is awesome news that bird seems really loud I just want to make sure that cats aren't attacking anything yeah so that that's why I didn't Vlog at the Pretzel's house just because the vibe wasn't right you know like when your pet is sick it just kind of changes the mood and you don't you don't want to be on camera and stuff like that uh but I'll Vlog the parents on Sunday I promise but anyway fireball's fine don't worry at least as far as we know and of course I'll keep you guys updated anyway with all that said guys thank you so much for another great stream tonight I played The Last of Us for like four or five hours excuse me and then we played fortnite for a few hours hence why it's right at 6 10 in the morning all right I gotta rest my voice kitties are just looking at me they were inside for a little bit they're so cute um yeah I'm gonna get some rest I'll see you guys later today happy Saturday everybody hi zero you want to tell them what you found outside so zero was just laying in the middle of the grass which he rarely does so I thought something was up and what do you know he's playing with this little guy it looks like a baby groundhog right because I have two fairly well not not large but pretty much the size of my phone like the uh with I have I have like two holes in my yard and he wasn't far from it so I'm assuming it's a baby groundhog now thankfully zero being the awesome cat he is he did not kill him I don't know if he heard him that might be a scratch I don't think so I think it's just darker fur but he looked okay I mean he was moving around he looked a little nervous so I called zero and he came running in good Boise because let's face it it was this guy or a gizmo or little stripes or any of the other cats they probably would have killed him and I hope they don't find him the cats aren't going to be here for another hour or two at least I know I know it's funny the cats are on a schedule but seriously I think the uh groundhog should be safe I don't know though there's nothing I can do I can't I can't protect the groundhog it's it's nature it's just gotta take its course hopefully hopefully he or she survives anyway guys it is indeed Wednesday it's already 5 52 p.m yo just made my coffee which was sitting there for like 20 minutes because I got distracted by my office I'm still trying to figure out a setup that I'm happy with zero you going pee oh God boy you're such a good boy I changed my wallpaper that didn't matter see you guys but I'm just saying and I moved the monitor up a little bit because I was watching a video typically speaking you want to have the monitor excuse me at like an arm's length and the top of the monitor should be at eye level which it is right now so I'm glad I did return the satachi Hub and by the way Amazon already paid me guys I told you they would baby I love it I was on so fast um I'm still not crazy about the Logitech mouse I might prefer the Apple Magic Mouse which isn't even a great Mouse but all the gestures play so well with Mac OS and I would use my trackpad but because of the felt um dustpad I'm using when I click in with the magic Trackpad like a weird vibration goes through to my palm and I don't I don't want to feel that every time I click and guys it's literally just because of the felt like this is a nice nice uh desk mat but we'll see obviously I have options uh but anyway despite how much I love this display is a living room day because it's the weekend you know I'm trying my best to make this a weekday only room uh that way I can separate my work from my pleasure but of course with that said I'm gonna be taking my coffee into I see into the living room and getting some work done on my 2017 MacBook this thing just keeps chugging along guys and it was actually sponsored a while ago via backmarket.com I'm so so thankful for that sponsorship um I mean it's not the fastest notebook by today's means um today's standards but it's great like it really is a great notebook it does exactly what I needed to do I mean it's honestly just there for email some light editing in canva and maybe some light editing in Final Cut Pro 10 here and there and I did get some Amazon packages in which is awesome but I've decided I'm going to save these unboxings and first impressions for Monday easy pigeons only a velocity Vlog so patrons stay tuned you're going to get a first look at my new office layout so for now these are going to be sitting in here and I did receive an eBay alert saying that my Panasonic Lumix G7 is shipping so I don't know if that means he shipped it today being a Saturday it's obviously it's not going out tomorrow but uh yeah realistically speaking I should have it by I think Wednesday I saw a Facebook Messenger on here yeah there's there's some apps on here that I gotta get rid of I have OBS on here why maybe just for experimental reasons I don't know anyway guys all that aside I received some amazing news last night I was finally approved for a sponsorship that I started back in January because they had some content edits they had some people moved around in there anyway I'm not gonna bore you with details but I was approved finally and I get to post that and that money is going to help me which is which is awesome put yourself out there you can come with me I'll give you the private tour oh baby I mean it's okay with him that was a lot of work unfortunately the the platform that the sponsor uses isn't the best in the sense that well it makes it easy to manage the content but the finalized version of the content that I sent them months ago was so low res that I had to recreate everything myself now thankfully I saved pretty much everything I create so I had to go way back to my photos from January and pretty much set up the Instagram story again the Instagram reel was done so that's fine and the Instagram carousel so I think everything's ready to go and I'm set to publish on Monday I'm just reaching out to my contact again because I had to send me a custom uh link which allows them to track you know all the clicks and whatever they get very very thankful for this sponsorship so I'm excited to finally publish that and move on because January guys sponsorships for me are typically done within a month this one took what January February March April about four months which is insane honestly but obviously I'm grateful for the opportunity all right I'm gonna make one more copy then head out the sheets to get some dinner I'm so excited to work on my office this week I definitely have lots of video ideas up here that I want to create but I'm not going to create them until everything is good and that includes my Panasonic G7 arriving I can't wait guys seriously I still cannot believe I actually bought that camera just randomly like that and again let's not forget I saved about two to three hundred dollars by going with eBay oh and I sold to set up this PC patience I'll do that Monday as well there's a lot to look forward to in the next Pages only headache I think it's from the lack of food it's already 7 P.M and I've had nothing to eat guys nothing to eat except for coffee and water and that's not really food obviously but that's why I don't mind you know just going crazy at Sheets and I'm getting getting lots of food essentially on the weekends I have about one average one meal a day one meal dude I gotta go it's past eight o'clock I need to go get dinner I've been watching YouTube videos also I'm just gonna make a quick comment I don't freaking love this 2017 MacBook guys look how small it is it is so light like it's lighter than my iPad Pro was or the keyboard and I can do so much more on here than I can with my iPad Pro aside from the apple pencil functionality of course but I love this notebook Again by no means is it fast is it insanely powerful but it's excellent it's absolutely perfect for what I need to do in my living room just emails and whatever and buy another chair yes I think I'm getting this chair guys I'm very picky I'm extremely picky with chairs the thing is I have at least six chairs throughout this house and four of them probably four or five actually no probably like eight chairs yeah if you guys want a chair let me know like if you're in the area seriously I'll just give you one yeah I'm not even joking let me know anyway I have a lot of chairs and most of them have that so-called lumbar support you know and I hate lumbar support for me it's just every lumbar support I've ever used always cuts into my back whether it's a cheap chair or an expensive chair I I hate lumbar supports so I like the high back or mid-back chairs just like the soft leather kind you know pleather um coming on patreon dang says congrats David thank you thank you that's about the partnership thank you appreciate that very much um anyway I just I just like the basic office chairs you know like the classic officers soft leather wide seat nice um armrest no obnoxious lumbar support but even then this chair has a built-in I shouldn't say built in just an included zipper in the back which means if you wanted to insert your own back support like a pillow or some kind of back support system you could so I think I'm gonna buy this uh chair it's only 72 dollars plus tax which isn't bad and I can have it by Monday so with that said I want to link this exact chat right below because again I think the fact that you can insert your own back support is huge now of course I'm not saying you should not have a back support because for most people probably it's important but for me I just it hurts you know I I view so many chairs where it's quite literally like jolting into my back and and it hurts over time anyway why am I talking about chairs on the weekend Vlog I don't know guys I don't know all right adding to my cart I think I'm gonna order this 72 dollars for a chair is not bad and I realize I'm gonna get some people saying well David you should you should spend a lot of money on a quality chair I agree I agree but I have spent a lot of money on chairs and I've wasted so much money because I'm not going to go through the process of actually returning the chair just every single chair I buy is a Gamble uh but this one I'm fairly confident in seeing it work out so 76 dollars and eight cents with tax and it'll be here on Monday I'm okay with that all right it's 808 can I go get some freaking dinner guys I've had nothing to eat plus I gotta stream in less than two hours and I'm home Maui enjoy your food zero you're not going out dude I'm sorry I'm sorry I I don't know where that little groundhog is and the thing is the cats are back there's there's little Z so I I just don't want to add one more chance to that groundhog getting killed you know all right back from sheets guys I got a couple tots oh they have the best tots I love their tater tots so much a side actually two sides I guess of Dr Pepper barbecue sauce I feel like oh wait never mind never mind because this thing I feel like they could have topped this a little more no that still applies I feel like they could have given me like five extra tots but it's okay it's okay it's probably for the better and my usual spicy chicken sandwich with heavy mayonnaise uh normal only honey mustard caramelized onions and mixing it up this time guys cheddar cheese lettuce tomato and I think that's it boom Oh my God oh my God that looks amazing I'm so hyped and I'm watching a show called The Wilds it's another show on Prime video about a plane crash and people are trying to survive how many shows can there be about a plane crash I don't know so I couldn't get into Yellow Jackets I'm sorry I tried I can see why people like it I just can't feel for the characters and you're like I don't I don't have feeling for the characters like I do on lost and from my God from was so good but this one has potential so we'll see how it goes it's already 904. today really got away from me but it was productive I finished that sponsorship I reached out to my contact and I hope to publish all those posts on Instagram by Monday and hey I'm on Instagram check me out thank you so much many many moments later again it is now Sunday night 9 16. p.m I did it again I'm so sorry I went to full night without vlogging zip rentals it just wasn't the kind of vlogging that you know because I got there late for dinner which was amazing by the way we had spicy chicken salad oh my God Mom thank you so much I'm a big salad guy I know I wouldn't show with my 18 double chins that makes sense um but seriously Mom thank you so much but Patron stay tuned I promise I will Vlog the family plenty tomorrow if you got to bring home leftover chicken zero is not feeling well but he's fine but his eye is swollen because he he got scratched or a bit like right above his eye so the swollen portion of that bite or whatever is kind of making his eye appear like squinty now he's fine you know right Z you're fine I mean he's he's acting fine he's eating he's drinking he's peeing his pooping he's doing all the zero stuff you know uh but he's just squinting like this so anyway hopefully this swelling will go down within a few days Maui you here he's finally sleeping on his Tower oh and by the way speaking of cats Fireball is home mom and dad brought him home last night at like one in the morning props to them because my parents are not like me they are not nighttime people at all so respect for bringing them home early but yeah if I'm also in great he peed uh his appetite is good apparently and he's acting like himself which means I did get to spend some time with him tonight and he was just kind of laying on my chest purring like crazy and acting like himself which is which is awesome so fireball's good guys thank you so much for for your uh kind words and hopefully he stays okay because you know he had symptoms like this a while ago but this is definitely the peak event uh so hopefully the rest is just good anyway guys I'm done thank you so much I'm tired if you can't tell I'm very tired I didn't go to bed until seven in the morning and I woke up a lot there's something about me lately I just I just can't get a full night's sleep like consistent I wake up on average at least three to five times a night hi Z don't go outside no you're definitely not going out something scratched you or you got stung by a wasp I have no idea God it looks like you just went boxing and his eyes like almost shut completely hey guys thank you so much I'm done I'm gonna watch Scream Six on Plex provided the quality is good of course I gotta edit the Vlog first do some laundry all that stuff so you guys have a great week ahead great weekend depending on when you're watching this video I'm tired guys I
