WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.319 Jamie, as a senior member of our logistics team, you've had ample time, 00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:10.400 not to mention the power, to steal stuff from the office, like those Noctua fans 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.920 and my idea of owning a Buzz Lightyear as an adult. But you wouldn't do that 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:20.640 because you're not really interested in technology. You spent your AMD $5,000 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.199 ultimate tech upgrade on model trains. 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.160 Choo choo. Okay, I'm in here changing for the bit for the intro. And even in 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.719 your bathroom, you have stuff stolen from work. Like this prototype bath mat 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:37.760 that has a pattern on it like our towels. Oh, I should put pants on. You 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.440 know what, bud? How else am I going to break into this really expensive hobby? 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.760 But why do you want to break into the train hobby? It's a good way to blow off 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.440 some steam. But don't worry, friends. There will be 00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:54.480 plenty of tech on this upgrade train as well. We've got a brand new TV. Do you 00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.559 have to do that constantly? Yes. an ultrasonic vinyl record cleaner, an 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.920 Alienware OLED gaming monitor, some speakers, and a whole lot of 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:08.200 awkwardness. Yeah, don't forget a ripping fast AMD Ryzen 7 00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:18.659 gaming processor. 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.520 Hey guys, AMD is doing another giveaway, and this time the grand prize is a 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:31.119 whopping AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D, an AMD 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:32.960 Radeon 9070 XT, and a Steam Deck OLED. 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:36.560 And that's not all. Two runners up will also each receive a Steam Deck OLED. So, 00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:42.320 make sure to enter and check the description below for details. Goodbye. 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.000 I was the last member of our very popular music podcast, Vinyl Verdict, 00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:49.600 Together. Oh, I've heard of it. You have? Well, yeah, cuz I work with all of 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:54.320 you. Oh, fair enough. Plof got his first, then Belle, then Adam. Where's 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.960 me? So, I built a computer last year, convinced I was never going to get one. 00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:01.200 I noticed that you didn't say you bought a computer. I built a computer. Mhm. 00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:04.560 It's full of stolen items from the office. We will find this out later. I 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:09.039 believe that you won't have stolen your AV equipment cuz we don't acquire that 00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:15.760 much. And you seem to be legitimately into it. Like, these speakers way more 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:17.760 than me. So, those are Paradigm 7. They 00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:20.640 were probably like $800 when they were new, but I bought them for 100 bucks 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:26.400 from a guy around the corner. Dude, secondhand hi-fi is like I I'm living 00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:29.840 that video. It's an actual life hack. That's mine. That's a graphics card I 00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:36.319 moved out west with. I noticed that you didn't say you bought it. You just said that it's yours. Yeah, I got the box for 00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:40.560 it and everything. Um, that's a 1660 Ti. I bought that. Oh, okay. 6 years ago. 00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:44.400 It's not actually the GPU I was wondering about. It's the dock. Oh, the 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:49.120 beast. No, I bought that. It's a pretty cool setup though. Hey, this dock plugs 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.120 into the M.2 SSD slot in this little mini PC and lets you run a full-size 00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.360 desktop GPU. Wait, what is this? You bought a Think Center? Okay, so that's 00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:05.319 from my dad. So, Arty did something nice for his folks. And my dad uses my gaming 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.000 PC for gaming PCs ago. So, it has a 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:12.959 Phenom X4965 in it, which is a great processor. 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.159 Yeah, was 15 years ago. Yes. So, it's 00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:19.599 like saying you're a great dad 15 years 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.080 ago. Wow. A lot younger 15 years ago, 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:25.920 too. Um, hi, dad. Anyway, it was my dad's 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.879 birthday the other day, so this will miss his birthday, but we'll send it 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:33.840 home. Okay. This has a Ryzen 5650G. 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:38.959 Nice. Uh, which is like a perfectly relevant platform still. And Chrome 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:42.640 Chrome, you might say. Yes. Um, it should last him a good long time. And 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:46.480 it's a lot smaller than my gaming PC that that he's been using. I couldn't 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.000 help noticing that the ship to address Ee on this is someone who no longer 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.879 works here. So you clearly scavenged this from the office rather than 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:58.959 actually this is from my inventory. Yeah. No, no, no. I I the upgrade paid 00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:00.480 for it from the Yeah, the Steam Deck 00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:03.840 came from the office. I won that at the Christmas party last year. Sure you did. 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:06.920 Uhhuh. It's no fun to bust the guy when he goes full-on confession mode the 00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:12.159 second I walk in the door. Oh, fair enough. Swag pile. Sure. Yeah. Remember 00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:18.720 when we used to have a good swag pile? No. That's how I got all the underwear. 00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:23.280 Wait, you took underwear from a pile? Yeah, the swag pile. Was it new? Put it 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:27.360 in the wash. Who cares? This is a Hyundai P. Got the label on it and 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.400 everything. These are our standard issue workstation keyboards. They're great. 00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:33.440 What's your excuse for this one? I bought it. But we use these as our 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.759 standard workstations. Yeah, we have like almost 200 of them. Oh, that's from 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:42.880 the office. Okay. This is from the office for sure. There ain't no way you bought an 8 TB enterprise capacity 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:47.759 drive. No, I bought that I bought that off the company. We So that was used to 00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:52.080 be in Ladner server. The the NAS has eight of those in it though. So see this 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.960 guy, he keeps saying I bought it off the company. But you know who decides when 00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:01.759 things are for sale at the company store? I do. 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:05.360 The desk is from inventory, too. We did a we did a video on it. It's a James 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:11.199 video from maybe I don't know eight years ago, six, seven years ago. It's 00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:13.199 the skiller Shcoon or Shcoon Skiler. You 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:18.639 keep birthday cards people give you. Okay. So, what But you keep them in a 00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:24.240 backpack in your closet. So, I went home for Christmas and my sister gave me my 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:27.840 birthday cards cuz my birthday falls just before Christmas. Uhhuh. And then 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:31.039 I've just never unloaded this bag. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:36.000 Because Because you're probably more into the new commuter bag from 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:42.000 ltstore.com. Go check it out. Go get one. It's like the OG backpack, but 00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:43.120 smaller and sleeker and less expensive. 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:51.360 Where do you keep your graphic equalizer? Of course, it's underneath your cowboy boots. Yeah, I Well, it's so 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.919 obvious when you think about it. Is anyone else appreciating the irony of 00:05:53.600 --> 00:06:00.400 them calling this an economy pack? There is nothing economy about wasting money 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.400 on little tiny people. Take that sleeve off. 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:07.000 Look at the price. 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:18.479 I didn't even know the punchline. Expensive hobby. These individual cars 00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:21.520 are like 40 bucks. Yeah. Butterfinger 00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:23.440 should pay you to use this car. Isn't 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:27.919 that one of the cheap ones, Jamie? Yeah, it's a cheap one. Yeah. The emergency is 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.240 them coming for you. That's right. Do you want to see a really expensive set? 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:37.479 I don't know. Okay, so I bought this with my own money. This is four cars and 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:43.680 it's $285. This is one of three sets. I only 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.280 got the What is this? A set and the A 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:49.840 set. It better come with a pleasure dome. 00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:58.000 What is the pleasure dome? We'll find out later. That's the secondhand price. 00:06:53.840 --> 00:07:00.080 Yeah. How much is it new? 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:04.560 I don't I shuddered to think. Miniature trains and the people who like them. 00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:10.080 Let's do some tech for a little bit cuz man that even in current market tech is 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:16.160 seeming downright reasonable by comparison. Let's do some speakers. Wow. 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:20.000 All right. Oh, don't put your finger through the um grill. Ask me why I 00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:25.120 picked these. Why did you pick these? They're on sale. They're It's the most arbitrary 00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:29.599 choice in this entire operation. They're roughly the size of the stands I picked 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.400 out and um they look good. I think they'reund and something watts. They're 00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:37.360 the right size and they look good. I mean, that's basically why my wife picked me. Sure about the look good 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.400 part? I was about to say I was better looking when I was younger, but let's be real here. 00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:46.720 Well, I can see why you're replacing these. I got those Encio speakers for 00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:52.000 free from Jake Ty cuz he was moving. And he said, "Hey, did you want these?" And 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.080 I said, "Yes." Nothing against Jake Ty. 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.440 I love the guy, but he is one of the toughest negotiators that I have ever 00:07:55.919 --> 00:08:02.319 encountered. And I'm pretty sure if these were worth something, he would have taken money 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.759 from you. Yeah. I mean, you you could call him cheap, too. That would also be 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:12.160 accurate. Except as it pertains to wasting money repairing his BMW. This 00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:17.199 one time he fixed the turn signal. Wait, 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:19.919 is your setup like angled? Yeah, cuz I 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:25.039 sit on this end of the couch. So, your center channel is off to the left. 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:30.960 Yeah. Okay. So, that's that has more to do with um it won't What the heck, dude? 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:36.159 It won't fit underneath the TV for someone with this much hi-fi gear. Yeah, 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:41.360 I could have put the TV on a box, right? But the TV is already too tall, in my 00:08:38.719 --> 00:08:45.440 opinion. Your sub's not in the corner. No, your center channel's not centered. 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:52.560 You got one of your stereo channels towed in. Yeah. And your TV is angled 00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:55.040 toward the couch, but not enough. It's 00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:59.360 angled a lot. Also, you're sitting right next to that surround speaker and that 00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:05.279 one's way over there. Have you seen how big my apartment is, kiddo? All the more 00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:08.560 reason to go over here and have the 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:10.480 whole thing take less space. Sure. 00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:17.920 That end of the couch is broken. I think my dad bought this at Woodwards in like 00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:20.000 1978. I want to get out ahead of all of 00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:23.519 y'all in the comments. All like, Lionus don't pay Jamie nearly enough. The man 00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:28.519 has tens of thousands of dollars worth of records. He just has up 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.519 priorities. 00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:34.240 I mean, if you think if you think Lionus could pay me more, write down in the 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.839 comments as well. Pretty cool the way they shot it to make 00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:41.600 it seem like he's not getting away from him. Like every cut is short enough that 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.519 it kind of seems like he's keeping right behind him. Yeah. Yeah. Uh 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:50.000 realistically, the surround speakers are the least contributing to the overall. 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.560 Yeah. speakers aren't really doing much in the scene either. No. So, good 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.959 upgrade. Yeah. All right, let's do the next one. Cool. Let's Oh, let's do the 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:05.440 TV. Okay. Nice. Wow. Wa. That's how we're doing 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:09.399 it. Okay. Sure. That's great. Wow. Uh, 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.399 question for you. Yes, dear. 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:16.800 You've done so many of these upgrades. Mhm. You've installed so many TVs both 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:21.839 here and in your previous life as a Geek Squad TV installer guy. Yeah. Where's 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:25.600 your walnut? You literally have networking and power on the wall. I hate 00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:32.000 walnuts. Where no one who could reach that light switch could ever hope to reach them. That's right. You ever read 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:36.880 R/TV too high? Yeah. Yeah. It's my nightmare. But you could mount it to the 00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:41.760 wall down there. So low. So low. All right, Star Wars guy. 00:10:39.839 --> 00:10:47.760 I think there is such thing as our/TV too low as well. I think that's true 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:51.200 low. What a TV. What a TV. Wow. Look how 00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:52.560 deep those blacks are. They're deep. 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:58.320 Incredible. They're deep. But it's deceptive. See, check this out. Okay, tell me more. Look at this. That That 00:10:56.079 --> 00:11:01.120 black looks deep. It's like this thin. Totally fake. I thought you were doing a 00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:05.680 joke about how we were watching it off center so it doesn't look right. Oh, no, 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:12.160 dude. It's all the viewing angles are great. Yeah. Are we going to put your new CPU in? Yeah. Yeah. Let's do that. 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:17.360 Okay. So, uh, so you went from the 7800 X3D to the 9800 X3D. That's right. 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:22.079 You're going to get so many FPS's, dude. No, it it's the same old graphics card. 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:25.680 So, it's going to it's going to be it's going to be like a marginal improvement. 00:11:24.079 --> 00:11:29.360 Yeah. How much you want to bet? Literally, all this water cooling 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:37.360 equipment was stolen from the office. Not all of it. Yeah, I bet. Stolen. 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:40.399 Stolen. Maybe not stolen. Definitely 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:42.320 stolen. Absolutely stolen. 100% stolen. 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:46.320 No one would actually buy a Corsair GPU block. No, I bought it. It was an Amazon 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:51.399 warehouse deal. Someone had already returned it. Andrew, we took the block 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.399 off. 00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:58.480 And then we uh now we're going to fight with this computer for the next 20 00:11:56.079 --> 00:12:02.320 minutes. That wasn't very good uh adhesion. No, that's good. Was it good? 00:12:00.959 --> 00:12:08.120 Good content. Yeah. No, this is good. See, you can tell because this block is 00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:12.399 designed with an offset mount. so 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:15.839 that the compute dies are actually 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:18.079 slightly bowed thermal compound right 00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:23.600 there right over the dies. That's part of why it performs so well minus water 00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:28.760 cooling tips. So I have a 7800 X3D in there right now. And then this is a 9800 00:12:26.839 --> 00:12:36.240 X3D. It is 10% 12% faster. a little faster, but 00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:38.560 they also changed the layout of it and 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:42.720 where the X3D Vcash goes. Yeah, the architecture is a little new, but hey, 00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:47.440 the best of the best. You're not really getting any better than a 9800 X3D. So, 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:54.320 I I did water cooling in this computer because one of my development goals for 00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:56.240 working here last year was to uh you're 00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:00.160 supposed to like improve something that you're bad at, I guess, is the best way 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:04.639 of describing it. But I'm not very good at understanding like water cooling 00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:09.040 fittings. And so to better serve the writers when they come down, I learned 00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:12.800 more about water cooling by completely ruining this computer. All right, let's 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:17.760 uh let's get your computer back on the desk and check out your new monitor. 00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:24.279 Wow. At the Christmas party last year, I won the Gundam monitor. It's the 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:28.000 PG279. It's a XG XG 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.160 XG279. Uh it's a 1440p 144 hertz 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:34.240 monitor. It's pretty good. Um, I'm selling it to Nicole because she wants a 00:13:32.560 --> 00:13:41.680 second one. And so we're putting an OLED in its place because everything has to be an OLED cuz PL's running this one. 00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:48.000 He's got an AW 2725DF. Wow. It's 1440p 360 Hz OLED. It looks 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.720 really good. It's going to fit great on that desk. I will also be a man who owns 00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:56.560 a monitor. You already are. Yeah. Uh, the nice thing is the motion pixel 00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:01.839 response time will be lightning fast cuz it's OLED. Uh, your blacks will be inky 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:06.639 blacks. You'll get that great HDR picture, Jamie. Um, it's an absolutely 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:12.880 beautiful display. One thing to note about all of these 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:15.199 cutie OLEDs is that they're very 00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:19.040 delicate, but you don't have pets. You don't have a kid. So, just keep 00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:24.800 reminding me all the things I don't have. Blue. Well, just don't get upset and punch the monitor and you should be 00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:28.800 okay. Yes. All those competitive games of Fallout 4 I'm playing. Yeah. Uh, you 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:33.839 guys updated the BIOS before you put in the new chip, right? I did it yesterday. 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.199 Yeah. Oh. Oh, really? Oh, absolute 00:14:33.839 --> 00:14:38.560 professional. See, I thought I was going to be coming in all I bet you didn't 00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:42.720 think. Guy's an amateur. He doesn't know what he's doing. Absolute pro. It's 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:45.120 plugged in. Has a light. Neither of them are going though. So, it looks like I 00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:50.880 don't know if you're posting memory training. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. He's just ramped down, though. That 00:14:47.839 --> 00:14:52.959 monitor's turning on. So, that's uh over 00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:58.639 there's not the only train we're we got today. Hey. Uh, 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:02.000 why do you keep acknowledging my terrible jokes? You know, I'll keep 00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:06.399 doing it. I get paid by the Joker. I don't know if you knew that. 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:11.199 Always scares me. Okay. Do I say yes or no? I don't remember. I'm going to say 00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:15.839 yes. Sure. I didn't have Bit Locker on 00:15:11.199 --> 00:15:18.480 and Windows deleted. Got him. Oh. 00:15:15.839 --> 00:15:22.639 So, we we we reset the BIOS cuz the new chip was in it. So, now it has to 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:26.240 rememory train. And while we do that, why don't we fart around with the record 00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:31.839 cleaner? Sure. As part of my upgrade, I sprang for this kind of dumb but really 00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:34.959 neat uh ultrasonic record cleaner. Uh it 00:15:31.839 --> 00:15:36.639 it's basically one of those ultrasonic 00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:40.720 uh cleaners that you would put jewelry in, but it rotates the record around. 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.920 I'm really excited, Jamie, because like we've cleaned records with my Spin Clean 00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:47.680 before. I have a spin clean. You got one, too? And they're good, but they're 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.959 kind of annoying. You got to like fill it up, put the record in, spin it 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:54.240 manually, take it. It works great, but it takes way too long. It takes way too 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:58.959 long. Yeah. This is a copy of Queen's Jazz, and it is 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:04.240 disgusting. Also, I think it might be warped. So, you know, it is what it is. 00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:07.040 So, what do you do? You just uh take that reservoir out, buddy. You fill it 00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:11.040 with distilled water. I'm guessing Yeah, I've filled it with distilled water. You can fill it with tap water. It says not 00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:18.880 to, though. Yeah. This is good enough, right? And then you dump it in the middle there. Oh, you Oh, so yeah. So, 00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:22.959 what I found Oh, boy. This is not easy. Yeah, it's really not. It's this way. 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:28.079 Well, I don't know if that's the way either. That's not good. How much water 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:31.680 is supposed to be in here? More than that. Okay. So, then basically what you 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:35.440 do is you take this ultra scratch, ultra dirty record. And so, you put it in 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:39.519 there. I'm going to do it on the auto setting, but I wanted to do So, there's 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:43.360 two settings. There's auto one and auto two. It's just the length of the cycle. 00:16:41.199 --> 00:16:47.440 How long is each cycle? 2 minutes or 5 minutes. Okay. I want to extra clean 00:16:45.199 --> 00:16:51.440 this thing. So the autocycle does both the clean and the dry. Oh, it dries it 00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:55.120 too. Yeah, cuz that's the problem with the spin clean is like you take your 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:58.399 record out and you wipe it with the fiber cloths that they give you. Yeah. 00:16:56.959 --> 00:17:02.480 But then like eventually they get saturated. Yeah, they do. And you like I 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:06.880 just put mine in a dish rack after which feels like weird. Anyway, this makes an 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:10.959 awful sound. That is a terrible noise. Oh boy. It 00:17:09.199 --> 00:17:14.880 sounds like TV static. Okay. So, what what it's doing right now, it's sucking 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:19.199 the water out of the the reservoir and sending it to the tank. How's it going 00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:25.039 to dry it now? It runs a blow like a just like a little fan. Yeah, it's uh 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.640 noticeably cleaner. It's it it like like 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:31.200 we said, it's not going to clean the scratches off, but it got all like the 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:36.320 nasties that that were on it. There you go. It's just that easy. You know what 00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:41.919 else is going to be easy? Microphones. Cable managing your TV. Oh, good luck. 00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:46.240 Have fun. Mr. Plof, you used to be on our podcast. Plof was on the first 100 00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:49.840 episodes of Final Verdict. I was I see you bought uh much better microphones 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:54.880 than when we were using what? Sure 58s. Yeah. You Yeah. PG48s or whatever. Yeah. 00:17:52.720 --> 00:18:00.960 So why the upgrade to these guys? Cuz these are really nice. So these are very 00:17:57.760 --> 00:18:03.679 nice podcasting microphones that should 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:09.679 in theory improve the quality of the uh the sound of the episode. This is a test 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:11.600 with the old PGA48s. This is the intro 00:18:09.679 --> 00:18:15.360 on our new mics. Welcome to Vinyl Verdict. I'm Jamie. They won't uh 00:18:13.600 --> 00:18:20.000 improve the quality of the discussion though. So, that's uh that would require 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:23.919 a host change again. So, if you guys would like to listen to it, you can find 00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:29.120 it on most major services including YouTube. That's right. Uh it's Vinyl 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:35.280 Verdict on Spotify. These ones were recommended by Adam. Oh, that's Yeah. 00:18:31.600 --> 00:18:39.280 Um, the MB7X is like the one that Adam 00:18:35.280 --> 00:18:42.080 uses except his you has both USBC and 00:18:39.280 --> 00:18:46.480 XLR. It doesn't really matter uh that it doesn't have USBC cuz we connected to 00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:50.000 the to the Behringer. So, it it's a feature that would be lost. Honestly, it 00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:54.000 cost an extra $50 to get the USBC connector. Wow, that monitor looks 00:18:51.600 --> 00:19:01.600 great, doesn't it, though? Actually, though, that looks awesome. Yeah. 00:18:58.520 --> 00:19:03.280 Damn. Damn, that's smooth. Wow. that. 00:19:01.600 --> 00:19:06.799 Yeah. Uh well, go fight something. Do you want Okay, let's go. Let's go 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:14.160 somewhere. Yeah, go fight. Man, night looks so good. Yeah, like wow. Who needs 00:19:11.679 --> 00:19:18.160 to go outside at all? We could just look at outside on our computer screens. 00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:23.919 You're on to something. You could market that. Everything looks way better on an 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:27.200 OLED. Nick was right. Oh, yeah, dude. 00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:29.840 God, this looks so good. So smooth, too. 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:36.320 Even though it's only at 180 FPS. only 180 FPS. But that's a locked rock solid 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:39.039 180 FPS. Like that frame consistency. 00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:42.640 Let's build your city, Jamie. Yes, let's build my little city. Oh, yeah. Let's do 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:47.200 that. Jamie, you want us to cable manage this? All right. So, you only need this 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:51.200 guy. This guy and and like the the cables that attach to this and your PS5. 00:19:49.360 --> 00:19:56.480 My PS5. And then everything that's attached to the receiver. The whole 00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:57.840 stack except for the the network switch. 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:02.080 Except for the network switch. Yeah. Okay. I couldn't help noticing that you 00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:07.919 spent realistically the vast majority of your budget on train. 00:20:04.360 --> 00:20:09.520 No, I spent $1,400 of the budget on 00:20:07.919 --> 00:20:17.440 because it seems like a lot more than that. Like this is $40 $40 $40. $83. 00:20:15.520 --> 00:20:20.960 Yeah. I don't believe that this was $1,400. I mean, what about all this? No, 00:20:19.679 --> 00:20:25.320 we added it up the other day. It was like 1,400 bucks. Do you feel good about 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:31.600 yourself right now? Yeah, I feel great. Now, these are hand painted. 00:20:29.280 --> 00:20:35.679 Yeah. No assembly required. Completely ready to go. Does that not kind of 00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:40.000 defeat the purpose of this hobby? I have zero patience for painting things. I 00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:46.159 see. So, when I found out that they make those things fully assembled, I jumped 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:48.640 on that. Okay. Cuz for $83. For $83. 00:20:46.159 --> 00:20:53.120 Well, I I didn't pay for it. AMD did. Thanks, AMD. 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:56.159 Spices. Yeah. Well, they're in spice jars, but yeah, it's like clubhouse. 00:20:54.559 --> 00:21:01.280 Like uh like when you go to the the grocery store and you buy the big thing of spices. Yeah. But wait, no, they 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:05.039 actually come in this. Yeah. So they literally just source exactly the ones. 00:21:03.919 --> 00:21:10.960 Yeah. It's got the spoon on it and everything. Yeah. Would you ever apply this with a spoon? This grass? I don't 00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:16.799 think so. So the idea is that you're supposed to cast it out onto a sticky 00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:18.799 surface. Just cast it out. Yeah. The the 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:22.320 technical term is flocking. So I got a bunch of little buildings cuz I wanted 00:21:20.159 --> 00:21:25.039 to build a little town. Mhm. But you didn't want to build it. You just wanted 00:21:23.520 --> 00:21:28.559 to place it. I just wanted to place it. I wanted the fun part, right? Yeah. 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.799 Which is the watching the train go around part, right? Do we get to do that 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:36.720 today? Like 100%. I I set up the track last night cuz I'm like super into that. 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:39.760 Okay. Okay. But we have to place the buildings first. Do we glue the 00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:43.760 buildings down? No, gravity holds them down. Really? Yeah. What about these 00:21:42.320 --> 00:21:47.679 guys? Does gravity hold these guys down or do we need to glue these guys? We'd have to glue these guys down. Okay. But 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:52.320 but you sound like you don't want to do that. I don't want to do that today cuz that would be a commitment. That Yes. 00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:56.640 This is He's not a commitment sort of guy. I have to figure out where I want to put them. You can't hold this guy 00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:59.200 down. That's true. Not with glue, not with anything. Well, you show me what 00:21:58.080 --> 00:22:03.679 we're doing today. We're going to put all all these buildings. All right. And 00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:07.039 they all get wired to this little hub, right? Yeah. And they have a little 00:22:05.280 --> 00:22:11.760 dimmer switch on them so that the lights light up. So that's what all the LED 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:15.760 says. Uh it has like a little light hub in all of them. All right. Or at least 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:19.200 in most of them. Rock on. Yeah. Okay. So where's the town? I imagine it's in the 00:22:17.360 --> 00:22:23.039 lake. You're half right. So general store. Oh, no. They're in the lake. So, 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:28.000 general store right there. Right. Okay. The lake uh is an actual like it's a 00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:33.280 resin. I guess it's a two-part resin that uh Justin and I set the other day. 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:39.120 Very cool. And it's meant to look like water. You can actually get ripples like 00:22:36.320 --> 00:22:43.280 that you can put in it so that when the resin sets, it looks like there's like 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:47.760 ripples in the lake. Wow. You didn't do that though. No. Okay. That was an 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:50.799 advanced technique. I like the rocks though. That's cool. Yeah. I was just 00:22:49.280 --> 00:22:55.440 joking before. I would never put the general store in the lake. I'd put the 00:22:52.480 --> 00:23:01.200 That's absurd. Yeah, that's Yeah. Get out of here. I swear to God. Pay by 00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:07.200 the bad joke. Okay. So, I cut a bunch of holes in the foam the other day. And we 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:11.039 routed out underneath there. And I was going to route all the wires to about 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:15.039 here so that I can actually reach them. That I I think you can guess where the 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:21.280 cabin in the woods is going to go. In the lake. In the lake. 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:24.440 A winner every time. And the best thing about putting things in the lake is 00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:28.320 right after you put something in the lake, it just goes to the bottom and you 00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:33.200 can put a new thing at the top of the lake. Yeah, it just keeps stacking them. 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:36.799 Wow. Ethel's Gasoline and Service. I just like how detailed these ones are. 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:41.200 So, these are all from a company called Woodland Scenics, but Woodland Scenics 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:45.200 is h popular in multiple different hobbies because they make landscaping 00:23:43.679 --> 00:23:48.799 stuff. God, no. They're in the lake again. I tried to put the merkantile 00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:53.280 bank in the lake because I figure you got to have all the mortgages are 00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:55.039 underwater. Yeah. Jesus. 00:23:53.280 --> 00:23:58.880 How did I How'd you make out with my uh cable management? Again, I apologize. 00:23:57.520 --> 00:24:02.880 You know, let's not It looks not bad, Jamie. But we mostly just zip tied. It 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:06.400 really did feel like a zip tie job and or a cable tie job. And I think we 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:11.200 actually did a pretty okay job of it. Just decluttered and Yeah, pretty much. 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:14.840 That's perfect because that's a thousand times more than I was willing to do 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:20.559 after work. Yes, absolutely. Wow, these are so flipping detailed, 00:24:17.840 --> 00:24:24.480 dude. Yeah, it's a Canada wheat car. So, they make one So, they make ones that 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:28.799 are weathered, too, so that they look like they've been run on the roads for 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:32.640 like a million years. This print down here is not just like placeholder 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:36.720 nonsense. It's actually you can read it if you squint hard enough. So the 00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:40.720 particular manufacturer of that that car is a company called Inter Mountain and 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:44.799 they make very detailed cars like that with some really nice screen printing or 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:47.919 silk screening on them like that. Sure do. Yeah. I thought you were done with 00:24:45.919 --> 00:24:52.799 the cable management. Yeah. We went to cable manage under his desk and then I 00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:56.960 noticed two things. One, it's mostly metal so it's really easy for MCM, 00:24:54.640 --> 00:25:02.400 right? Oh wow, that's great. Uh there's like eight arches under here already 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:07.360 that he's stolen from the office randomly. and just didn't use it. Like 00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:14.080 there's one, there's another one. There's three, four, five. I think 00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:18.520 that's it. But they're all ready to go. I don't even need the kit that we 00:25:15.520 --> 00:25:22.400 brought. I didn't steal them. I borrowed 00:25:18.520 --> 00:25:25.360 them forever. And then subsequently lost 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:32.080 interest in cable matching. These are freaking heavy, dude. Yeah, that uh that 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:35.279 one is particularly heavy. That one uh actually cost a whole bunch of money 00:25:33.919 --> 00:25:41.200 when it was new. I didn't pay that much for it. I got it at the local auction at 00:25:38.080 --> 00:25:43.120 an auction, a train auction. No, it was 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:48.559 uh it was just a general auction, but Justin painted one in the AMD colors. 00:25:45.760 --> 00:25:55.760 The AMD/ LT colors if you want to see that. It's the Yeah. Oh, dude. So, 00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:57.440 Advanced Micro Express. Let's go. Yeah. 00:25:55.760 --> 00:26:03.039 Uh don't open it that way. It'll fall out. A hundred bucks. Yeah. So it was we 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:07.760 bought it undecorated. So it was just body in gray. How was he able to get 00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:13.200 this level of detail hand painting it? I mean I finger painted and I couldn't get 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.919 for details. No it's airbrushed. There's 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:20.320 multiple layers. Right. So um he used the cry cut and that's like the smallest 00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:23.440 you can make a a thing in the cry cut. A that's super cool. Or is it cricket? I 00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:27.919 don't know. That's fine. It doesn't matter. Yeah. And then those are 00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:33.760 water what are they called? Water slide. Water slide decals. Thank you. Oh, LTT 00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:37.760 box car. Let's go. It's the only one like it in the entire world 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:42.960 because no one else has the skill to make it or because no one else wants to make it. No one else wants to make it. 00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:46.960 Shout out to Justin. He and I did basically all of this together last 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:50.720 week. But it turned out really nicely, I think. And if you want some exclusives, 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:55.600 check them out on Floatplane. It's trains. 00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:59.279 These Audio Technica got me from work. You handed me a bunch of cash one 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:04.919 Christmas and then I bought those. Oh, right. That Yeah, there it was. Nothing. 00:27:01.360 --> 00:27:04.919 It was nothing weird. 00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:13.600 How many How many cars can one locomotive? That guy can pull all of the 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:16.640 rolling stock I have. Literally all every car. What about that one? I don't 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:21.600 know. I haven't tried it. It's brand new. Yeah. I mean, it could probably do 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:27.120 better for gaming though. Yeah. Uh, you know, it's got radon graphics. 3DV 00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:28.720 cache. Let's go. AMD. So, can I take all 00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:31.760 the trains out? Yeah, if you want. That's That's the part I want to do. You want to play with the trains? Yeah, I 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:35.760 want to play with the trains. I want to play with the trains, too. Okay. Okay. We're going to play with the trains in a 00:27:34.080 --> 00:27:39.440 minute. Okay. But we have to get them all on the on the track. Okay. I can get 00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:43.520 them all on the track. So, all these trains I purchased with the help of the 00:27:41.120 --> 00:27:46.559 nice people well of Nolan. No one went and got all this stuff for me, but the 00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:53.200 nice people at Inner City Trains and Hobbies, which is on 96 AB in uh Langley 00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:56.720 here, uh they were all very helpful and they fixed one of my trains last night 00:27:55.120 --> 00:28:01.520 before the shoot. So, I'd be helpful if you were giving me this kind of money, too. 00:27:59.600 --> 00:28:04.960 But, but they were very helpful and I really appreciated their help with this. 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:11.200 So, hey, support local businesses. Yeah, indeed. So, I learned something. Um, 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:17.039 don't push a train from the back. Works great on a race car. Rear wheel drive 00:28:13.360 --> 00:28:19.120 train. Oh, you derail it. Not so good. 00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:24.320 There's an issue called string lining. If you make a really long train where 00:28:22.080 --> 00:28:27.840 instead of trying to go around a curve, the cars will try and go in a straight 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:32.640 line. Yep. And literally pull themselves right off the tracks. I saw that. I 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:37.360 don't have this as part of my setup, but there's a thing called DCC, which is 00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:42.480 digital command control where the locomotives and other things on your 00:28:39.600 --> 00:28:45.679 layout will have electronic control. Oh, so they'll all go the same speed on the 00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:53.039 track and stuff. That's right. And then you can also set it so that it has occupancy sensors so that it knows that 00:28:49.120 --> 00:28:55.840 a sector of the track is clear and so 00:28:53.039 --> 00:29:00.799 another train can run in that space that is clear or it knows that a train has 00:28:58.399 --> 00:29:04.960 crashed. uh c cross a threshold or whatever and it'll trigger a switch 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:11.200 depending on you know which locomotive does it. It's sort of like 00:29:07.159 --> 00:29:12.720 smartome but for it's ready. Come come 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:16.399 closer. It's ready. Watch. See, it works. It's definitely not off the rails 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:21.360 in multiple spots. You're right. What? Yeah. What do you mean? We'll find out. 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:26.799 What? What are you talking about? So, this uh spot on the track here on the 00:29:24.159 --> 00:29:29.600 rails. Well, this this upgrade has gone off the rails already. I was just going 00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:35.279 to say this whole video is off the rails. 00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:37.200 What? What is this? Why they spend so 00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:42.080 much time just like watching the trains go? Because they spend hours if not days 00:29:39.679 --> 00:29:46.159 trying to get it to work first. I would say probably, but also because 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:53.000 he's never experienced it yet, so he's not sure. It's true. This poor train 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:56.399 set. Let's go. Look at it 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:58.320 go. Okay, we need more speed. We got to 00:29:56.399 --> 00:30:03.120 go faster. We got to go fast. We're the American train system now. How many 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:10.080 conductors? Zero. Oh my. 00:30:05.679 --> 00:30:11.919 Let's go, buddy. Uh-oh. This is sick. 00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:16.080 You like it? This is crazy. Do you understand why I spent $1,500? No, not 00:30:14.159 --> 00:30:18.720 even a little. But this is I'd love to go to someone else's house where they 00:30:17.520 --> 00:30:22.080 spent that money and then I could look at it. Well, you are in someone else's 00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:28.000 house where you they spent that kind of money. Yeah. Shout out AMD. You actually 00:30:25.840 --> 00:30:34.159 got a ton of value for your upgrade. New TV, upgraded gaming PC, better speaker 00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:38.480 setup for watching movies, new monitor. The bang for the buck for this upgrade 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:42.240 has to be among the best I've seen. And then you bought a train set. You You 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:47.120 know what's interesting, Lis? I came to I was at4 00:30:44.679 --> 00:30:52.159 $4,983 or something like that. So, I was like closest to the pin without going 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:54.240 over. Wow. Yeah, the price is right. 00:30:52.159 --> 00:31:00.480 Shout out AMD for sponsoring AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade. We'll see you at 00:30:57.840 --> 00:31:05.320 the next one. Sorry, I got distracted by the train. Go watch um Arties for 00:31:03.520 --> 00:31:09.200 Bridges. He's very pro gambling. Oh, yeah. Go watch Bridges. 00:31:07.679 --> 00:31:14.000 The one person who stole more than Jamie. I don't think that's true. I I I 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:19.840 We haven't looked at your bedroom closet. I'm sure there's a fair bit of 00:31:15.919 --> 00:31:19.840 stuff there. I like that one, dude.
