adhd hyper fixation: counting cards

[00:00:00]I was live. It didn't really seem like it was working. So, here I am. I actually put the retouch on for the first time ever cuz my skin looks so bad. I think it's from stress. So, yeah.

[00:00:09]Guys, hey, what's up friends, enemies, exes, ops, stalkers, cloud chasers, anyone else I might be forgetting.

[00:00:13]Welcome back to Taylor Television Live.

[00:00:16]Uh, I have become hyperfixated on learning how to deal and play professional blackjack. Don't ask me why. Don't ask me how. The answers to those questions are not important.

[00:00:28]What's important is that I learn to properly count cards and also that I Yo, what's up Batty Lynn? I was just Jake Saw. What's up, guys? Yeah, know I'm just getting back in the game because I didn't feel good cuz I had a brain tumor and then I had brain surgery and then I had radiation and a lot of stuff happened. I lost all my hair, but now it's growing back. But yeah, wasn't in a state to stream or be doing really anything other than recovering. Hey Daniel, what's up? Of course Jigsaw, of course I remember you. But I was live and then it just like stopped working. I don't know. I I I I have to call my uh internet provider because I don't feel like my internet is good enough to stream downstairs even though I always used to stream downstairs. So, I don't really know. But thank you guys for still being here on my YouTube channel.

[00:01:12]Thanks for not unsubscribing. Yeah, thanks for not unsubscribing and still being here to watch me. Danielle, I think you're doing like a weird thing with me in the hair. If you really have questions about hair growth, I'll answer them, but I'm not going to do this whole back and forth with you about head massages. What's up, Clint Carro? Where are you guys from? I'm in Long Island and I'm counting cards. All right, I just went to try to perfectly count a full deck. I got closer than last time.

[00:01:37]This morning I counted my deck and I was at -4. This time when I counted the deck, the stream just went completely dead. I don't even know what happened. I got a -2. And the idea is to count the deck so it's a zero. Yeah, I've been through some stuff.

[00:01:50]But you're healed 80%. Hell yeah. I would say I'm healed about 80%, too. I'm on Long Island, guys. Hey, in Pennsylvania, we ski there. Nice. Um, so basically counting cards, anybody can learn to count cards. And counting cards for blackjack is basically just the process of assigning cards of value so that you can place your bets based on the predicted likelihood of basically the dealer going bust because of how many high cards are left in the shoe. And I would not have understood what any of that meant like 24 hours ago, but I have been hyperfixated on blackjack. I had to learn how to deal it because we're having a casino party for Dylan's 18th birthday next week, which Dylan's 18th birthday, my son, his birthday is uh tomorrow, but we're having the party next week. And so we're doing a casino night. And I had to learn how to deal with blackjack.

[00:02:42]And uh yeah, I've become obsessed. And I thought like, oh, I want to be like a blackjack dealer. Like, I want to go out to Vegas like as my second act in life. Thanks, Mia, for the star. Uh, yeah, my son's doing great. He's still laidback and he's about to be 18, so ladies, watch out. Uh, hey, Oatmeal, what's up? Thanks for being in the stream. Thank you for continuously commenting on my uh on my YouTube, wishing me uh best wishes. It really did make me feel a lot better.

[00:03:12]And uh thank you for not unsubscribing and for still being in my stream. Thanks guys. If you're new, make sure you subscribe cuz I'm trying to regrow my YouTube channel after basically quitting it for a year while I recovered from the surgery. And I'm really going to try to like get it back. I don't exactly remember how it worked last time, but I'm going to figure it out. And I don't know. Hey Gerald Mil, you tell me. Tell you. Uh, hey Martin. Guys, Martin's in here. Thanks for being back, Martin. I don't know what happened to the stream.

[00:03:42]I think while I was counting cards, something timed out or something. I had to do a presentation about the Great Gatsby movie. It made me think of you because it's set in Long Island. Yeah, that's awesome. Long Island is so cool.

[00:03:52]It took place on the Gold Coast. I don't really know anything about it, but I do know it's in public domain. What's up, Zone? Thanks for liking my ears. You're a thanks for saying hello, Zone. Thank you, Martin. Thank you for the for the vote of confidence in me. uh zone. I'm counting cards now, obviously.

[00:04:13]Cuz what else would I be doing?

[00:04:16]Oh man, it's very hard to to manipulate the cards without the felt. I had the felt on yesterday, but the cats the cats getting the felt and it's it's not good for the party. All right, guys. Hey girl, do you know any tricks? I don't know tricks, but I know how to count these cards and that's a trick in and of itself. So, I used I went through a magic hyperfixation where I did learn a card trick. I learned how to finger break the cards. A magician never tells.

[00:04:40]So, I'll keep that in my back pocket just in case I do ever want to become a magician. I won't have any blood on my hands, you know. Um, Taylor, you're a comedian. Remember the 30 mil? You got to get the jokes and hit the road. Yo, yeah, I remember the 30 mil. I sit and think about it all day, every day. I kind of went through a period where I wondered like, do I even need that? But no, I do. Uh, you forgot about my cat. I have two cats. Count the cards. All right, Zone says to count the cards.

[00:05:07]We're going to count the cards. All right. The first time I counted the card, the deck today, it was a neg4.

[00:05:11]When I just counted it, it was a negative -2. It should be a zero.

[00:05:16]So, let's do Hey, what's up, snitch? You stopped subbing last month. I've saved over 5K with your advice. More money you save, the more money you don't have to work for. Apball the snitch. Why would you ever have unsubscribed? You got to resubscribe. But that's good advice.

[00:05:30]That's uh that's what um they I learned a new a new quote that I really enjoy.

[00:05:37]The the cents make the dollars, right? Yeah. It's like every item you don't buy from Amazon's an item you don't have to worry about the return. So yeah, I'm great. We're going to count these cards. Okay.

[00:05:49]Negative one. Can you guys see them? 1 0 1 No. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

[00:06:04]1 0 1 1 0 0 1 -2 -2 1 -2 -2 -21 -21 -2 -3 3345 6 I messed up somewhere. Let's just say -6 -6 -78 -7 -78 789 -7gative8 sorry 7 -7 6 >> -7 -6 -7 6 -789 >> But you went 899898 -78 >> You did that wrong.

[00:08:26]>> 8. Yeah. No, I made a mistake for a while in the earlier counting of this.

[00:08:31]>> You were adding on Kenny's.

[00:08:33]>> Yeah. Yeah. I messed up. I messed up for a large part of that right there. Um, yeah, I'm back here. Thanks for subbing me again. Thank you.

[00:08:43]>> I didn't order from Amazon for at least half a year. Martin, that's money in the bank. That's amazing. Good for you. No more Amazon. I can do I hope go get another deck. I brought a blender and it's still boxed up. But do you need the blender? If you need the blender, you should use the blender. Guys, don't forget to like the stream and thanks for being a member. Eightball the snitch. I need to uh update my membership tiers.

[00:09:06]Um I need to redo everything with my YouTube. This is just the pattern of like or trying to create a habit of streaming again. But Aball, thank you so much for being back. I'm so glad that I saved you money. My advice helped him financially. Yeah, I messed up for a large part of that card counting stretch. So, but you can't be talking when I'm trying to do it cuz I need total peace.

[00:09:26]>> I was trying to catch you cuz you were already like >> Yeah. No, but it was already I just wanted to finish the deck out. I had noticed that before you said it. I just had to I wanted to finish what I started. You know, it's important.

[00:09:34]That's good advice. Finish what you start, but don't double down on a bad decision at the same time.

[00:09:41]Patrick, no. I'll show you my card counting skills. That's what I'm going to show you. Yeah. Mhm. You're going to like that. You're going to like that shirt. Okay. So, maybe I'll just shuffle a little bit. Try to invest your money or buy things that will grow. Yeah. I made a couple of bad investments over the past couple of years. Why you laughing? You want to name one of them, Dylan?

[00:10:03]>> California.

[00:10:03]>> Yeah. I bought a bunch of land in the desert. That was a very bad investment that I'm going to wind up taking a loss on.

[00:10:08]>> Could have gone up state and got up there and be like, >> "Yeah, but we can hike without land. We We don't need to buy any land actually."

[00:10:15]But the good part about that is that all that money wasn't able to be spent. I think I was much more cautious uh financially because I knew I spent all that money on the land in California. Uh promise you I promise you did I swear I did. Your advice saved me so much. A dollar saved is a dollar I don't have to work for. I'm so that's awesome because somebody gave me advice on the stream saying don't put it down. Put it away.

[00:10:38]Okay. Don't put it down. Put it away.

[00:10:40]And that was like advice that I really used. I'm so happy that you listened. I told the financial advice I said that every dollar you don't spend is a dollar you don't have to earn. And that's so true.

[00:10:51]Yeah, that's great advice. I'm so glad that that's the advice that you took out of everything I said. Hey Stevie, what's up? What up Fern? TS out and no skills.

[00:10:59]What's up, Ski Skills Montana?

[00:11:02]I've been to Montana. Oh, no. I've been to Wyoming and there were a lot of people from Montana there working. What up, Fox man? Hey, >> what's up? I'm so back. I'm counting.

[00:11:11]I'm back and I'm counting cards. I don't really know how to shuffle yet. I do know how to >> I have been learning how to do a couple of different shuffles though. Like one's like where you you take the top and you like I don't know. You like stack it.

[00:11:23]You like split split shuffle or something maybe. It's so so true, Taylor. Heck yeah. $5,000. Like, you could take that to the bank, literally.

[00:11:32]>> Like, you could actually invest that in a T bill, a treasury bill.

[00:11:37]>> That's what I'm going to do once I get once I sell my land in California, even though I'm selling it for a loss. Other worst investment, the motorcycle, because I had a seizure after my surgery and I no longer can drive a ride a motorcycle. So, yeah, that was a >> that was a waste of $10,000.

[00:11:53]I've never bought a depreciating asset, so that was a fun experiment. It sucked.

[00:11:58]Um, if your advice is to finish what you start, what's your advice for people to struggle to start? Start before you're ready, just like me doing this [ __ ] ass live stream. Start before you're ready.

[00:12:09]Do it imperfectly. That's my advice. I don't know if this is good advice, but that's my advice.

[00:12:15]>> Uh, yeah, Martin coming in with the advice. Aball appreciates it. Fox man, you learned to count cards. Might want to keep that a secret. Why? It's not illegal. It's legal to count cards. It's just an advanced card playing technique.

[00:12:28]It's not illegal. All they can do is back you off the table if you're winning too much, which it's not a crime.

[00:12:35]But you got to uh you got to know how to play it cool. And you got to know when the heat is building at the table cuz obviously the dealer the deal dealers respect a good cap card counter though.

[00:12:45]Get uh >> they have no stake in the game. They're not >> because they have no stake in the game.

[00:12:49]Exactly. based on how much money from.

[00:12:51]>> No. No.

[00:12:52]>> There's a joker hidden in here. I just can't find it.

[00:12:54]>> All right. So, I'm going to try to count this deck perfectly. I'm going to go nice and slow. I'm going to take my time. Okay. Do not speak to me. All right. Not even if I'm making a mistake.

[00:13:05]>> Because even if I make a mistake, even if I get it wrong at the end, I'm still practicing, you know. What up, M9? I'm Taylor. Nice to meet you. Subscribe to the channel.

[00:13:13]>> There is.

[00:13:14]>> Or I'll haunt your dreams.

[00:13:15]>> Peace.

[00:13:16]>> I have haunted dreams. I actually had crazy dreams last night.

[00:13:19]>> Did you know?

[00:13:19]>> But I forgot them by now. I actually woke up and I actually thought like I my dreams are so crazy I could share that with you guys on the stream, but now I've forgotten it by now. Uh I got this.

[00:13:28]What's up, Jungle Boogie? I was just talking about you in the stream yesterday. [snorts] What's up, bro? Um, all right. Haven't seen my girl in a while.

[00:13:40]Uh, what up, Jungle Boogie? Long time.

[00:13:42]Yeah, Martin says, "What's up?" Why are you going outside all of a sudden, Dylan? I told you. Grandpa's picking me up.

[00:13:47]>> Grandpa is picking you up?

[00:13:48]>> Yeah.

[00:13:49]>> Oh, why? Dad. Dad, I'm live streaming.

[00:13:51]>> I know.

[00:13:52]>> How do you know?

[00:13:54]>> Besides when I went to text call Dylan, I I saw it.

[00:13:58]>> My dad's notifications were on for the stream. Yours should be, too. Cool. I'm counting cards.

[00:14:05]>> Where are you taking Dylan?

[00:14:07]>> He's gonna help me.

[00:14:08]>> There you go. Cool. Thanks.

[00:14:12]>> What's up? I've been I've been better.

[00:14:14]I've been worse. Dad, Mia says hi. She's in the stream.

[00:14:17]>> Hi.

[00:14:18]>> Dad says hi.

[00:14:20]>> Aball. Let's go. Taylor's back. So happy. Well, God bless you, Taylor. And your whole family. Thanks, Aball the snitch. Thanks for taking my advice. I mean, it's pretty cool that you saw what you saw of me dayto day and you were like, I should take this girl's advice.

[00:14:34]That makes me feel really good because you know what? You can be crazy, but you can also be smart. And I am crazy, but I am smart. Okay, that's ADHD brain all over. Yeah, that's what the title of the stream is. It's an ADHD hyperfixation called Counting Cards. All right, so I did better than I did before earlier, but I I I knew I was messed up. I just decided to continue on cuz I finished what I start. Yeah, I could be a centerfold model. Yeah, that's right.

[00:15:03]Thanks. Uh, did I shuffle these? It honestly doesn't matter. I should count a zero. High cards are a negative one.

[00:15:09]Low cards are a plus one, which is the part that messes with my brain a little, but I feel like this is actually as good as Sudoku for training my brain back.

[00:15:17]All right. Hey, Justin. What's up? Make sure you guys are subbed if you're not subbed. I'm trying to rebuild my YouTube channel after my surgery cuz I had to disappear. Hey, Hawkbird. Hawkbird. I was almost a what zone. Are you still in here? What was I almost? Uh, I was studying falconry. I was almost a falconer.

[00:15:36]But then, thank God I wasn't a falconer.

[00:15:38]Do you guys know when I got diagnosed with that brain tumor how grateful I was that I didn't have a [ __ ] Falcon living at my house? I was like, "Oh, the good thing is that I don't have a falcon."

[00:15:51]Going to get ready for the World Cup final match. I was wondering when that's going to be over. I don't watch it. But like to be honest, like it's like, "All right, enough already with the World Cup." What's up, Jason? Your brain's already confused. Congratulations for beating cancer, Justin.

[00:16:04]>> Bye. Love you.

[00:16:07]All right, guys. Let's count these damn cards. Good video, Taylor. You're the best. Thanks, Anna. I appreciate that.

[00:16:12]Um, okay.

[00:16:15]>> You caught it early and stuff. No, W. I did not catch it early. It was probably in there for like over 20 years. Um, but I caught it before it became a threat to my life. Hey, missed you. Glad you'll chime in later. Please do. WRP. I don't know. I really appreciate it. I appreciate all of you guys being in here. Uh, watch it holding the pinky out. Okay. ADHD. I can relate. Yeah. I just All this is about for me is counting the cards. Okay. [laughter] It's not about the World Cup. It's not about falconry. This is about counting cards.

[00:16:51][gasps and sighs] I stick to my fitness routine. Yeah, fitness helps ADHD for sure. I was doing really good with my fitness routine and then I got really really tired and I didn't want to like uh endanger my health. But I did lose 20 lbs. And uh yeah, Martin, I actually need to take a walk today. I think my sister and I were going to do that together. Mia, what up? It seems a little bit hot out, but I haven't been out there. It just looks hot. Thanks for stopping by to say hi, Kevin. When we going to Vegas one of these days? Okay, you get sort obsessed with all sorts of stuff. Yeah, like I was going to be a falconer. What else? Mia can list if my sister's still in here, she can list some of my phases. Uh Kevin's in the house. What up, Mia? What are some of the other hyperfixations I've become hyperfixated with in my time? Like my weird obsessions? Obviously, I was going to get a Falcon. I guess my motorcycle was a bit of a thing. Now I'm obviously counting cards and dealing blackjack. I feel like Mia might be able to come up with one that I can't think of. It's hard to think of things on the spot.

[00:17:54]Oh, 50 Cent. Eh, that was less of a hyperfixation. That was just a good idea, but I don't actually even really like him anymore. Um, but I think 50 Cent's a bit of a dick, but that doesn't preclude me from being attracted to him, obviously. Uh, living in my tent when I was going to live outside in my tent.

[00:18:12]Chilly girl. Same. In the meantime, we can do home workouts. Yeah, we can do home workouts. I was thinking about starting to stream some stuff like habits I want to make permanent that I have trouble sticking to. And then like you guys can do like the good habit with me, like drinking water. Like right now I should have a big glass of water. I just start like three projects every day for my ADHD. Uh that way I'll know I'll get something done. Yeah, that sometimes I do that. I just rotate. I just rotate.

[00:18:37]Have you counted them yet? I'm guessing 52, maybe 54. No, there's 52 in here, but we're counting them to gain an advantage in professional blackjack.

[00:18:45]Okay, the she shed. Well, yeah, it's kind of like that. I don't know if you've seen any of my videos from the tent, but I was going to live outside.

[00:18:51]Oh, my sleeping outside in the woods. I spent a lot of time preparing for that video. Um, another gross. Another Oh.

[00:19:00]Oh. Oh. Oh. I don't even want to read. I can't even read that comment. But if the trolls are back, we know we're so back.

[00:19:06]My phone's on 16%. That seems like an ADHD thing. I'll drink water after I count these damn cards. We're going to count the whole deck. And we're counting them. Not like how many cards are there.

[00:19:16]We're counting them to gain an advantage in professional blackjack. Okay. Here we go.

[00:19:23]Do you hear the cat?

[00:19:31]That's because Dylan left.

[00:19:34]>> That's the cat.

[00:19:38]Count you, Rancid. I'll count you in and I won't call you late for dinner. Bye, Martin. Thanks for being in here.

[00:19:45]7, eight, and nine is neutral. So, that's a zero.

[00:19:51]Yo, let's drink at least one cup of it.

[00:19:53]I don't think my cat's okay. Not mentally. All right, we'll get up. We'll get the cup of water because I really do want to make my live stream. Like I was thinking that like maybe if I did things on stream, it would keep it easier to be consistent. Oh no, I spilled it on my cards.

[00:20:13]So yeah, this is my countertop water filter. I actually stayed in a cabin in upstate New York and they had one of those gravity filters and then I thought the world was going to end so I got pretty prepped up and yeah, that's a pretty good water filter that you don't need electricity for. What kind of cat is that, Anna? It is a tortoise shell cat and she's crying because Dylan just left. Oh, she's back here. Lulu, come here.

[00:20:39]You're sad that Dylan's gone. That's her. I know. I know. sub to the channel for my cat. If you guys aren't subbed yet, please subscribe to my channel and like the stream. I'm trying to rebuild my YouTube channel from scratch after uh a medical emergency caused me to stop for a year and I was really gaining a lot of momentum and I'm going to get it back.

[00:21:01]Yeah.

[00:21:11]Anna, are you talking about the stream where I made pasta?

[00:21:15]Macaka paste. Maca paste.

[00:21:19]Had a load of washing in my washing machine for two days and you washed it three times. Okay. I've definitely washed a load three times, but that's like the most I've ever had to do it.

[00:21:28]Couple times I've had to do it twice.

[00:21:29]I'm pretty good at staying on top of the washing and the drying of the laundry.

[00:21:33]Not to say it doesn't sit in the dryer for an extended amount of time. What's up, Dorian? Yeah, I'm so back. Let's hit Vegas. I've never been there. I've been to Atlantic City. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[00:21:42]You guys were asking me where I've been to casinos. I've been to one on Long Island, which I don't think is a real casino. They might only have slots and not have table games, which slots don't do slots. I actually read a lot of interesting information today about the gamblers's fallacy.

[00:22:00]Yeah, that's an interesting subject. All right, so seven, eight, and nines are neutral, which means our card count is at zero.

[00:22:08]Card counting is a way to determine the probability of high cards left in a deck. And it gives you an edge when you're playing professional blackjack.

[00:22:17]All right.

[00:22:19]You put instant coffee in the microwave.

[00:22:21]I have instant coffee, but I just make it with boiling water from the electric kettle. Uh the Christmas streams, they were nice. We're going to get back there. Drinking more water has been one of your personal goals. Awesome. Okay, Courtney. We're going to drink water every day. Yeah. So, I'll make sure to do it on the stream every day. I actually have to have electrolytes because I had a seizure and so I ran out of electrolytes, but my new ones are coming today. I use relight. Dorian, I've been great. How are you? Okay. 7 8 9 is neutral. 10 to ace is negative 1 and 2 to 6 is + one, which makes it a little confusing cuz your mind would naturally think the higher cards are plus and the lower cards are negative, but it's switched opposite. But I'm getting there. All right. I'm getting there. Thanks, Jason. Hey, Savannah.

[00:23:07]What's up, guys? Sub to the channel if you're not subbed already. Thanks for being here. This is just a little hyperfixation that I got into. How many decks do the casinos use in blackjack?

[00:23:15]So, it used to be one or two card decks for a handheld or a hand dealt game, but now most games are shoe dealt. And I think that they're between four and eight decks. Um, the deck count comes into play with card counting as well.

[00:23:30]But like if you're good at card counting and know the strategy behind a perfect game of blackjack and you're playing a one deck hand dealt game, [snorts] that's that's that's a professional blackjack player's dream. Um but generally I think it's four to eight deck shoe dealt games in blackjack. I've never seen blackjack played. So but from what I can do in my research that's seems Hey Aiden, what's up? Hey Kitty, thanks. Thanks Red. Thanks guys. Thanks Jason. I've learned a lot about it. This is all in the last 24 hours. I'm psycho.

[00:24:02]All right, so let's just count these.

[00:24:04]Let's count these. Uh, my last card count was -2.

[00:24:08]A deck should be counted to zero. Okay, here we go. 01 -2 -3 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 1 0 1 1 2 1 2 2 3 3 2 one One like out of breath is so like intense.

[00:25:14]One 0 0 1 0 1 1 -2 -3 -2 -3 -4 I made a mistake somewhere -3 -454 4 -3 -34 -3 -45 -6 -7 -67 [snorts] -67 six7.

[00:26:37][snorts] Yeah, I knew where I messed up. I messed up. I messed I do have a very good photographic memory, but it's not working as well as it always has been, I think, cuz I'm recovering from surgery.

[00:26:49]Um, okay. Yeah, I've never even been to Vegas. Mom, I think that's my mom. I never been to Vegas, but I have to go.

[00:26:58]Yeah. So, I definitely made I and I know where I made a mistake. I noticed it. I got to I got to just I h My goal of my day is to count this deck of cards properly.

[00:27:09]No, there's no game playing. There's no game playing, Stevie. I'm training. I'm training to count blackjack cards right now. This is not a game. This is not playing. This is not gambling. This is playing a professional game.

[00:27:22]How does it help people with playing games then? So, what it does is the count. So, as the game is being dealt and played, you're constantly counting the cards and the card count, basically negative or positive, gives you an idea of the cards left. So, knowing an idea of how many high cards are left in the deck, gives you an idea of how likely it is that the dealer is going to go over 21 or how likely you are to get a card that's going to get you to 21. It basically just gives you an idea of the probability of where the high cards are.

[00:27:58]Right? So the low cards when you draw a low card it's a negative one because that's taking so basically every time you Okay. So the higher cards are negative cuz every time you draw a king and say negative one that means you're removing a high card from the deck. So, when the higher the number is at the end, the higher the count is the higher probability that there's a high card in the deck about to get drawn, if that makes sense. Um, yeah, you're basically remembering you're trying to figure out the likelihood of a high card being pulled because a high card being pulled. So, as a player in blackjack, you have the choice to hit or stay. The dealer doesn't have a choice to hit.

[00:28:45]They have to hit until they hit. They have to hit their hand after 17. I mean, yeah, until 17. So, if the dealer has 15, they need to hit a high card, which is equivalent to 10 or 11, is going to put them over, which makes your hand the winning hand. So, you as a player ha can choose to get extra cards, but the dealer can't. The dealer doesn't have free choice in it's very it doesn't make any sense [laughter] unless you're playing. Thanks, Jigsaw.

[00:29:14]Unless you're playing, unless you've played it and dealt it, which I hadn't until two days ago, it's not going to make any sense. But basically, the dealer has certain restrictions on when they hit their deck, making it more likely at times for them to go over 21.

[00:29:28]You, as a player, can choose when you hit, which keeps you more in control of whether you go over 21. And the knowledge of how many high cards are left in the deck to be dealt help your odds. It basically it's a very small percentage shift, but it shifts the odds away from the house and towards you. So, it's not like you'll never win. You'll never lose. You're going to still lose a bunch of hands, but you're basically shifting the house advantage onto yourself if you have perfect blackjack strategy, which is completely separate from counting cards. Yeah, I I I don't know about the the ace. It's It's been I I don't know. It's not like I'm not shuffling them well. Um, it's just I don't know what's happening, but I swear I will properly count this deck hopefully right now. And it's funny cuz like I feel like cards are harder to shuffle when they're brand new. But casinos switch out decks in a handheld blackjack game like every 2 hours. So all decks that are being handled generally in a professional setting are all brand new more or less. You know, Stevie, yeah, no, I'm not gambling. I'm learning blackjack strategy. There's no gambling involved in this. This is just a purely >> What is this for my ego, Dafany?

[00:30:41]>> Is this purely for the bit?

[00:30:43]>> Yeah.

[00:30:43]>> Yeah. This has nothing to do with gambling. Are you even listening?

[00:30:45]>> I am.

[00:30:45]>> What I said?

[00:30:46]>> Is it for the bet?

[00:30:47]>> The bit, not the bet.

[00:30:48]>> I said that.

[00:30:49]>> It's for the bit.

[00:30:51]>> Thanks, Jason. Make sure you subscribe to my channel.

[00:30:55]The house always wins because the house has an advantage. Okay. As it should.

[00:30:59]They're providing the casino, so why shouldn't they be making money off of that? So, it seems like in pure odds it should be 50/50. You should win as many times as you lose giving a large enough sample set of bets, right?

[00:31:16]But the house has a 5% advantage based on certain aspects of the game. Okay.

[00:31:24]Um, and you're basically trying to win back that 5% advantage to yourself. You're welcome. And Talia says, "Hey, Daffany."

[00:31:32]Talia, how old are you now? Talia. Talia is from the UK. Do you remember the girl who broke her computer and I convinced her to come clean about it? Because I >> Yes, >> Daffany remembers that. She's still so grateful. We didn't break any computers this year. We didn't have to go to Laptop Central.

[00:31:46]>> No LTC.

[00:31:47]>> No LTC. LTC is laptop central. Uh thanks, Blissful. I'm very happy. Ryan, my life has been my life's been good after surgery. Right, Dave? It's been so >> been difficult, but I think good. I think I'm doing good. Uh what is the best card game? Blackjack.

[00:32:04]So, from what I can tell, Blackjack is the only game that you really have total control over as a player. But, I mean, it's going to take me, if I can remember to still be into this for a few months, I'm going to develop perfect blackjack strategy and I'm going to learn how to count perfect deck of cards. You're almost 16 now, so is Daphne. She's your same age.

[00:32:26]Do you go to parties every night? Are you for the streets?

[00:32:31]Are you already making moves on that phone for tonight? It seems like you're up to something.

[00:32:35]>> Yeah, that's not the reason I'm here, though.

[00:32:37]>> No, no, not that why you're out here. I can tell your your behavior on the phone is spurt of >> spurt of behavior on the phone.

[00:32:43]Technically speaking, you sound just like you did before you left, so you're definitely healing. Great.

[00:32:47]>> Awesome.

[00:32:48]>> You sound different.

[00:32:50]>> Are you catching a niche reference?

[00:32:52]>> I'm I'm trying to come up with it. What is it?

[00:32:56][laughter] Yeah, there was a niche reference. Um, used to see your live 10 months ago.

[00:33:03]Well, no longer seeing my lives now.

[00:33:07]All right, these are my bears. I actually got the idea for these from what? What was your name? Jen from Love Island.

[00:33:14]>> Her ears were closer together, I swear.

[00:33:16]>> Probably.

[00:33:19]>> Thanks, guys. I'm glad you think I sound great.

[00:33:22]>> It does make me feel scared. What about spades? That's a I only know about blackjack and I barely even know about that. Dafany.

[00:33:28]>> Yeah.

[00:33:28]>> Would you do me a favor before you do that?

[00:33:31]>> Would you like find a way to bring the extension cord that's between the couch cushions over to this area?

[00:33:37]>> Yeah.

[00:33:37]>> Baby, won't you go my way?

[00:33:41]And then would you also plug a charger into it and then allow me to connect to a charger cuz I'm on 10%. But I'm having fun streaming. Thanks for liking the stream, guys. If you haven't liked the stream yet, make sure you like it and make sure you subscribe if you're not subscribed already. My stream the other day, I got 12 subscribers. I used to get like 300 subscribers per stream, but I'm so happy with 12. Even one. Thanks, Daff.

[00:34:05]>> Yeah, that charger that you guys have is really good. What's up, Cuddy?

[00:34:08]>> Has a double MacBook.

[00:34:11]>> Oh god, Talia has to travel an hour to get to the streets. She's in the rural places.

[00:34:16]>> I don't know [clears throat] streets now.

[00:34:18]>> We have She's in the streets. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She just means I think like where parties would happen.

[00:34:25]When I say Daffy's in the streets, it's just she's going to parties with her friends. Uh, I'm going to plug in.

[00:34:31]You're coming my way. Nice. I'll deal you a game of blackjack. I need the practice. Dylan's birthday party is next Saturday.

[00:34:39]I dealt my dad a few games of blackjack today. I think this is nice for like a fact.

[00:34:46][snorts] All right, guys. We're going to try again to count this card to count this deck of cards. Every high card is a negative one. Every seven, eight, and nine is a neutral. It's a zero. Every low card between two and six is a plus one. Hey, Aam. What's up? It's your girl.

[00:35:06]I'm counting cards. Okay. It's not illegal.

[00:35:11]I'm going to find a card counting partner. We're going to hit the casino one day. You have to be able to play a perfect game of blackjack, blackjack strategy-wise before you can even work counting cards into your gameplay. I'd have to really It's going to take me a year of blackjack simulation to ever take this to a casino. And even then, you'd have to play for thousands of hours. But, you know, if you get a team together, I think there's a I think there's a book about the MIT team. Okay.

[00:35:38]Hey, what's up, destroyer? I hate 3D.

[00:35:41]I'm so back and I'm counting cards.

[00:35:44]All right, here we go.

[00:35:47]One 0 0 1 0 0 1 -2 -3 34 -3 -2 -2 -3 -2 -2 -2 Negative 1 0 1 [snorts] 0 0 1 zero One, two, one. [sighs and gasps] One, one, zero.

[00:37:36]One one.

[00:37:39]Z 1 0 1 0 1 0 1gative 1 -2 -2 -3 -4 -3 three.

[00:38:37]Nope. Nope. I messed up a whole a whole while ago. I Yeah, I did, Cy. Yeah. So, the thing is even if I mess up, I'm like trying to keep going just because each card still installs in my brain a certain, you know, technique. It's basically just counting between 1, zero, and negative 1. But I do feel like my brain s I feel like before my brain surgery I would have been better at this. But I feel like this is also really good for helping me. You're getting Oceans 11 flashbacks. Yeah, we're doing a casino night party for my son's 18th birthday party. And so I wanted to have a blackjack table. So I learned how to deal blackjack. And then I became fascinated by learning to deal blackjack. And then you know it occurred to me that there's something mathematical. I'm like obsessed with recreational mathematics. Uh and then I realized there's something ma mathematical and scientific about this.

[00:39:34]And then I became obsessed with uh professionally uh learning professional blackjack strategy. Did I get rid of my cool kitchen rug?

[00:39:44]Aam. Of course I didn't get rid of my cool kitchen rug. Although this cool kitchen rug is due for a a cool cleaning when the kids go with their dad. I think I might cuz I had to like take the whole table and chairs out, but the kids are with their dad for a couple weeks in August. So, I think I might two years, Jason. What's What's two years? I have been feeling better. Thanks, Asam. I really appreciate that.

[00:40:08]Today, my goal of my life, and I will not stop until I am able to properly count these cards.

[00:40:15]I should get a zero. Thanks for being here in my live stream with me. Um, make sure you subscribe. Make sure you drop a like. Make sure you say hi. I don't know. Just like let me know where you're from or something. Every comment and like and subscribe really helps my YouTube channel, which I am trying to build back. What I used to have like a little I finally came up with like a catchphrase of like I don't know. Just trying to live my trying to live my [ __ ] life and helping you [ __ ] live yours. I don't know. We'll come up with a new tagline. Uh Madoo, what's up?

[00:40:46]I'm good. There's no There's also a Gemini who can deepen the knowledge of blackjack game.

[00:40:52]I'm a Gemini. You were talking earlier about good habits. I want to start getting up at 5:45 on school days and go for a run before school. That's amazing.

[00:41:00]So, I think like the best way to like make that a habit is just practice waking up at 5:45, right? Without adding the run in. I think it's like the more hardcore you go, it's like tiny habits.

[00:41:10]You should read Atomic Habits by James Clear. We should actually read through that book together. I want to do a book club. You guys know I want to do the same stuff I'm always saying, but I just like for some reason never do it. Well, you know, I was on a roll and then the brain tumor didn't help. What's up, pure lure? What's up? But that's awesome, Talia. You should do it. You should practice waking up earlier and earlier cuz when does your school start? In America, school starts in September.

[00:41:33]Chachi PT. I'm fine, thanks. Oh, I've been using Chachi PT a lot to learn about blackjack. But Chacht has nothing on some of this gambling software.

[00:41:43]If you want to learn more about professional blackjack, go to the YouTube channel Blackjack Apprenticeship.

[00:41:49]I will be counting this deck of cards properly if it's the last thing I do today. What am I going to do at 5:45 in the holidays? We should read that on stream. You go back in August sometime.

[00:42:01]What do you mean? What are you going to do at 5:45 on the holidays?

[00:42:05]I'm just saying like move your wake up time closer to 5:45 so you're not adding like waking up early with running. What do they say? Like put your running clothes out the day before and then I don't I guess you could just try to like raw dog that habit and just start waking up and running. Or maybe try to like do it 3 days a week. Although I know it's healthier to have a consistent wake up and sleep time. That's something I need to work on. Sleep hygiene. I meant to like keep a notebook around me to like take notes on things we should be doing in the stream.

[00:42:34]What's up, Alfredo? Hey, Rice Ball. Skin is glowing. I have the retouch filter on. My skin's actually so bad. I have a pimple patch on, but thank you. School starts July 30th in South Carolina.

[00:42:45]Yeah, we used to live in North Carolina and school started a lot earlier than it starts here. Am I gambling? No, I'm practicing blackjack strategy. Hey cat lovers, what's up? Should I get that book so I can like write down all the books? I didn't even bring the book up.

[00:42:58]H sucks.

[00:43:01]Well, I can take notes on the back of this envelope that I'll inevitably lose and we'll never see it again. We'll never see it again. So, it's almost like not taking notes at all.

[00:43:13]So wait, what did we already do? We did like hydration, consistent wake up time, sleep hygiene.

[00:43:25]Daphne's listening to music in the bathroom during her shower, which she doesn't usually do. She's feeling herself. Do I want a gift? Yeah, who doesn't want a gift? Yeah, Magoo. Set asleep and awake time. We should read a book. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Book club. I need help thinking of like what I should do on my channel now because I just like was so into it and then just like that it was over. Good health. Thanks city of peace to you as well.

[00:43:50]Hey Cat Love, thanks for the flower.

[00:43:52]Thank you. I really appreciate that guys. All the hype in this stream helps my channel. There used to be like hundreds of us in this chat. Do you guys remember that? Not that I mind. I'm I'm grateful to have each and every one of you. But if you are in here, make sure you've liked the stream. Make sure you're subscribed and make sure you like it or send a comment or a flower like or a star. What was that book you recommended to me? Atomic Habits. Atomic Habits by James Clear. Cat Love, thanks for the stars. Yeah, thanks. I don't even know how YouTube works anymore.

[00:44:22]Apparently, there's games we can play in the stream. Thanks, Cat Lover. I have two cats. All right. Where's the thing?

[00:44:28]There's freaking games.

[00:44:31]Lighting on. Oh.

[00:44:34]Oh, I don't know if I need that. I'm sitting in front of a window. This is green screen, I think, which I don't.

[00:44:41]That's my cat my video being off. Oh, I accidentally did a green screen thing now. What? How do I get out of the green screen?

[00:44:52]Hey, what's up from Kansas City, Missouri? I watched a video about Oh, no. I watched a video about Jackson, Mississippi last night. What's up, Cam?

[00:45:00]Thanks for being in here. It was strange you hadn't seen me. And bam, I'm back.

[00:45:03]Yeah, there is thing we can do it here.

[00:45:05]Hey Leandro, what's up cat lovers? Thank you so much for all the gifts. You do there, I do here. What Leandro? What you talking about guys? I have to figure out how to get out of green screen hell.

[00:45:20]Oh, okay. Hold on. I'm still learning.

[00:45:24]Okay, there was something where it said I could play a game the other day.

[00:45:32]I don't want to be underwater or have makeup on. What if I put makeup on?

[00:45:41]I've never used a filter or anything like that. All right, we got to get that off. Okay, big head.

[00:45:56]I've never even used Tik Tok, so like I don't even know about any of this.

[00:46:03]Wow, YouTube's really leveled up. Huh?

[00:46:07]Yo, Mugo, what's your favorite one? Vote for your favorite one. Oh, look.

[00:46:16]This reminds me of Travis Scott.

[00:46:20]Am I a shape shifter? Looks like we're about to find out. Yo, a scary doll always smile. I want to do the I want to do the one where it makes you cry [gasps] that people put on other people. Uh, you're so funny. I wonder how long it would take you to get back to your screen. I did it. It's a W.

[00:46:45]Yeah, Cam. I did it. And it's a W.

[00:46:47]That's why like I've just been trying to like get back on here a little bit. I want the one that makes you cry. What about this one?

[00:46:56]This is normal, right? Someone should draw a cartoon version of you. Dude, I just did. I just did. This is a cartoon version of me.

[00:47:08]Well, my eyes look dead. I look like Casey from Love Island right now. These are great. Hey 4748, thanks for being in here.

[00:47:21]She's listening to I think Don Toiver, right? We really like that guy.

[00:47:27]Oh, you went to goal. It was really fun.

[00:47:30]Whoa.

[00:47:32]This is sick.

[00:47:35]I'm having a really great uh great time right now.

[00:47:40]Oh, wow. There's two of me. Wow. Clap.

[00:47:46]All right, that's cool. That's fun. But I Oh, there you go. Games down here. All right.

[00:47:53]What are these games?

[00:47:56]Words of wonder. I like playing word games.

[00:48:00]New York Times every day. So, wait, I can just play a game. Can you guys still see my face? Can you guys still see me?

[00:48:09]What a my bloody bloody Can you guys still see me?

[00:48:19]This is kind of like the stuff we used to do on my Discord.

[00:48:23]You guys still [music] hear me?

[00:48:26]Can you hear my voice?

[00:48:29]Yeah, you're in a box in the corner. Can I pull the box where I want to be?

[00:48:34]Hey, Rice Ball. Hey, Arm Dog Lover Boy.

[00:48:37]I don't know what this game is, but I played this game on my phone before. I don't play games on my phone usually.

[00:48:43]are broken or going through some.

[00:48:46]>> Hey Cam, [music] what's up? Hit me up.

[00:48:48]Oh, so I can play any game. So now I'm just like a gaming streamer. People are saying gaming streamer. If you get stuck, you get hit. Like I would ever get stuck.

[00:49:04]Wow. [music] Help my count cards.

[00:49:09]Everything is related to counting cards now.

[00:49:14][clears throat] Too slow.

[00:49:39]I usually do everyday New York Times Wordle spelling me trans obviously like this.

[00:49:55]How do I stop the game?

[00:50:01]Maybe I think my really slow video game music down or your voice up.

[00:50:08]Yeah, that would be cool, right? Farm dog lover boy Dylan thinks I should play Sky uh Skyrim or Elden Ring.

[00:50:16][sighs] Can you guys hear what she's listening to? Hopefully not. I don't want to get a copyright strike.

[00:50:29]Let's count this deck of cards. Okay, we have we have serious business to take care of. Okay, this serious one -2 -2 take it so seriously. It's like so much pressure. Negative 1 -2 -2 -2 1 0 1 2 2 3 2 3 2 3 4 3 2 1 0 1 0 1 -2 -3 -23 -2 -3 32 -2 -2 -3 -2 -3 -2 -2 -34 Nog1 one -2 was already subbed. Yo, thank you Australia's for being here. Did you guys guys I got it. I got it. I I and I caught myself when I made a mistake and I undid the mistake. I understand where I'm making the mistake.

[00:53:09]Yeah, I understood where I'm making the mistake. Can you guys hear me now? My stream timed out. YouTube just closed.

[00:53:21]But then it gave me the option to restart the stream. Can anyone hear me?

[00:53:25]Am I here? Are any of us really here?

[00:53:27]What is life? Hey Mia, what's up? Dude, I did it. I did it. I caught myself where I made the mistake. Thank you guys so much for almost 40 likes.

[00:53:37]I think I did it. If I did it once, I can do it again. And I will do it again.

[00:53:42]So, it actually now I realize like my brain works when I'm going back forth, back and forth because I don't need to like I don't need to like figure out the am I going up or am I going down. If I have a high card, I know I'm going down.

[00:53:54]If I have a low card, I know I'm going up. It's like it's almost like Guitar Hero. When you get really good at Guitar Hero, you're not reading the colors.

[00:54:00]You're just going off the spaces basically. Guys, hey, sorry, my stream stopped. Can you guys all hear me and see me normally? I hope Australius is still back in here.

[00:54:11]Don't forget to sub if you weren't subbed. All right.

[00:54:16]Hey, Elena. What's up? I'm Taylor.

[00:54:19]Welcome to my live stream. I'm counting cards.

[00:54:23]Why? Literally no reason. Mia, I have to make that balloon. I'm going to make part of the balloon arrangement for Dylan's birthday tomorrow. Maybe instead of taking a walk, you can like come over and help me blow up. Well, I guess you can't really help me blow up balloons cuz it's like a one at a time endeavor.

[00:54:37]I should have blown the balloons up before the stream and then done the balloons on the stream, but I'm busy with the cards right now. Hey Idris, what's up? I haven't been here in ages.

[00:54:46]I'm great. How are you? Hey Elena, what's up guys? Thanks for being in my stream. I'm doing a hyperfixation where I learned to play and deal blackjack.

[00:54:54]Uh, okay. I'll be here. Let's try it.

[00:54:57]Guys, I the stream lagged out, but I did the cards. I think you did a balloon arch on stream before.

[00:55:07]I think I filmed it once, but I don't know that I did it on stream, but you could be right. I did so much stuff on stream. [sighs and gasps] I got a lot of work to do on YouTube, but we'll do it. All right, let's see.

[00:55:22]This seems like it should be a dealer thing.

[00:55:25]Um, okay. So, I am learning how to count the values of the cards to determine the distribution of high cards in a deck of cards for strategic blackjack play.

[00:55:37]It's called counting cards. And it's not it's not illegal. It's not.

[00:55:43]High cards are negative because once a high card is drawn, it reduces the amount of high cards in the deck. You're trying to figure out the number of high cards left in the deck. So that's why a high card is negative because a high card has been removed from the deck whereas the low cards are positive because they maintain that the high card is still in the deck. Okay. It is very interesting, Elena. I'm glad you think so. Yeah. So I learned how to deal blackjack for my son's casino night birthday party and then I became very fascinated by the mathematical situation underlying it. And turns out that like blackjack is one of the only games that can actually like be played like with a mathematical strategy because every time you take a card out of the deck, you actually do change the game. Whereas like a game of roulette, people think like if uh roulette landed on black a bunch of times, it makes it more likely for a red to come up. But it doesn't.

[00:56:35]Every single roll of the dice is equivalently 50/50 red or black. But when cards come out of a deck for blackjack play, a card coming out of the deck actually does change the distribution of the new deck. So, I don't know if that makes sense, but that's where we're at. Thanks for the like, whoever disliked the stream. So, this is a negative one. You start at zero and you should end at zero counting a full deck. Um, so this is a negative one because now there's one less high card in the deck. Okay, we're going to go from there.

[00:57:08]Negative one. Oh, and 78 9 is zero neutral. So this is negative 1.

[00:57:15]Just need to breathe. Negative 1gative 1gative 1.

[00:57:24]My stream just ended. I think I might just have really bad Wi-Fi. I definitely need to call the Wi-Fi company. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm going to continue to count this these cards whether or not the stream is actually working. And then I'll probably stop the stream. Negative one.

[00:57:38]Negative one.

[00:59:37]And that's all you need to know. That's all you need to see about what I'm doing here today. That's that, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:59:44]Perfectly counted deck. Now, I realize it's not about thinking so hard about it. It's about the rhythm and it's about up, down, up, down. You're just going up, down, or nothing. It just it clicked for me on that deck.

[01:00:01]I'm counting cards for strategic blackjack play. One delish. What's up?

[01:00:04]Welcome to my channel. I'm Taylor. No one's really here, but we're chilling.

[01:00:08]All right, guys. It actually makes sense cuz remember how we used to talk about how like I could like talk to a wall if I had to. It's kind of like what I'm doing right now and I'm fine. But yeah, Wonderish. My name's Taylor. I'm the host of this YouTube channel, Taylor Television. I had brain surgery. I was really on a roll with building my channel. Then I had brain surgery and I basically wasn't on YouTube for a whole year. So, I'm just popping back up just to get comfortable with uh streaming again and stuff. Are you able to do that with multiple decks? Ryan, don't start with me, Ryan. I read the rest of your comment. Real nice. Are you able to do that with multiple decks?

[01:00:45]Yeah, you can do it with multiple decks, but it's easiest to practice on one deck to know that you're coming out at zero.

[01:00:51]You know, it take a lot more time, but yeah, if I added another deck, I should still come out at zero. And once multiple decks are in play at a blackjack table, it doesn't change the process. It just makes it, you know, more it's just more counting. It's just more counting, but everything remains the same. Yo, Ryan, what do you think about this as a hyperfixation for me?

[01:01:11]Counting cards, right? That that makes sense. That's on brand. I you know, not everybody would understand, but I feel like you would understand why it makes sense. Blessings, two years I was on IV for 38 days. Thanks, Wendelish.

[01:01:26]Blessings to you, too. If you haven't liked the stream yet, guys, give it a like. We're almost at 44. And then I'm going to go. Uh, that was a second deck that I counted perfectly. And I think my Wi-Fi is really bad cuz the stream just keeps stopping.

[01:01:40]So, I did my hour today. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to retrain my streaming muscle. Thanks for the like.

[01:01:46]Um, cleaning out the camper today. Snuck a bunch of beer into an EDM festival last week with m Oh, multiple cans exploded. Which EDM festival did you hear about? What happened at Electric Forest to that guy? Uh, I watched you base coast. Nice. Thanks, Wish. I appreciate you being in my stream. The stream just keeps crashing for no reason. And I see like the world's smallest squirrel outside right now. Um, that's cool that you went to an EDM festival. I went to Govall and it was the first like real music festival I ever been to and I brought both kids and it was pretty crazy. So, I did a music festival, too. I don't think I'd want to be at a EDM festival with two teenage kids, but if I was by myself, maybe.

[01:02:27]Hey, thanks Harmony for the flower. I appreciate it. I actually am going to wrap up the stream cuz it just keeps crashing out on me. And I've got a lot of card counting to do. No, I actually have a lot of stuff to do for Dylan's birthday tomorrow. It's my son's 18th birthday tomorrow. So, I'm going to go work on my balloon arch for that. Um, thank you for being on my YouTube channel and in my stream. And if you like me, you can subscribe and then you can see when I go live. I've been trying to do like an hour a day just popping on training my old stream and muscle if you get my drift. Um 28 days. Sorry. Wow.

[01:02:59]Okay. Well, one delicious, I'm glad that you're doing better. I had a blood transfusion which is pretty crazy. But yeah, we're back. We're out here. It's going to be great. Thank you for the star, Harmony. Happy early birthday.

[01:03:10]Thanks. You too, Ryan. Good luck with the camper. Good thing you're getting to her right away cuz you know I feel like that can like beer can smell really bad.

[01:03:18]But yeah, I have a couple in the fridge from our boy trip upstate while Daphne was in camp. Thank you, Mia, for the star. Thanks, Wendel Delish. Thank you guys for all being here. Make sure you subscribe if you like the stream that way. And then make sure your notifications are turned on because I'm going to be going live most days. I guess I'm going to get back in there. I want to create a really good live stream for you guys to watch because there were some daily video makers who made videos every day that really made my life a lot better over this last year where all I could really do was rest and watch TV.

[01:03:49]Hey Leverne, what's up? Thanks for all the stars, Harmony. Thank you guys for all being in here. If you like the stream, thank you for that. If you dropped a comment, thank you for that.

[01:03:57]If you haven't dropped a comment or liked it yet, make sure to take this moment to drop a comment or like it because it really helps me get back into the YouTube algorithm. Uh, thanks for liking my ears. I saw Jen wearing them on the violin and I thought they were so cute, but this pair the ears are kind of far apart. I thought they'd be closer together. Um, yeah, I won't push too hard, but I do actually like I love streaming and I like want to do it. So, yeah. But yeah, I think an hour a day is good. Um, ideally like I would just stream an hour every day of like a kind of like a variety almost like a late night show, right? Like a structured show.

[01:04:35]But like, should I just film that and post that as a video every day? I've got to take some notes on what my favorite YouTubers are doing because my favorite YouTubers drop like three to five videos a week, but there's always like a theme of each video. You know, this is what Thanks, Leverne. I appreciate it. Talia, hey, what's up? I'm about to get going because this stream keeps lagging and cancelling itself and I'm getting kind of tired. I did it twice perfectly though, Talia, by the way. So, that's pretty awesome. I did keep a running list of some of the stuff we talked about Talia to work into the stream. Who is my favorite YouTuber? I would say Cheer Denise. Her name is Cheer. C H E R E Denise. And she reads books and does social commentary and she's hilarious.

[01:05:19]Her husband is the Secret Service agent, I think. Yes, I did it. Guys, look how long my nails got. By the way, this is natural cuz I was taking so many vitamins to grow my hair back that I I did actually have to cut that one cuz it was about to break cuz I hit it with my leg razor when I was shaving my legs. But those are pretty good natural nails, huh? I sort of doing a little coat of clear to make them less likely to break.

[01:05:45]Oh, I really have to start stretching.

[01:05:47]Thanks, Leverne. So are you. Yeah, my favorite YouTuber's name is Cheer Denise. She's lit. How's your rodeo boyfriend, Ryan? [snorts] That [ __ ] crashed and burned like everyone knew it would. You all predicted it and like low key everyone on the stream was like, "Yo, this guy's trying to get a green card." I don't know that he was trying to get a green card, but like I definitely wound up feeling like like almost like used for a leg up in a lot of ways. But like maybe then after I broke it off, I felt kind of bad like maybe I I misjudged it. Like maybe this random guy was just super in love with me. I think two things can be true at the same time, but needless to say, I broke it off pretty abruptly. Unchachu.

[01:06:29]Hey, MD. What's up? Nice to see you. I remember you. Yeah, the rodeo thing, the cowboy did not work out, but imagine if it had, you know, he would dream And
