Today, I have the distinct pleasure of speaking with Andrico from Fincana. How are you today? I'm doing great, Tracy. Thank you. Of course, we're all following you, Andrico, and you have what, four companies that you're currently investing in. Is that correct? Yes. There's four companies in our investment portfolio. And you call them, I think you call them portfolio companies. Correct, yes. I like that. Okay. Can you give us the update on these four? Sure. So all four companies that we've invested in are startups, and that's because, you know, California has been a startup industry, and all four companies are at various stages in their growth right now. All right. But you have four companies. Can you name them for us? Sure. So QVI, Easy Green Compliance, Refined Resin, and CTI. I'm going to put you on the spot and ask you to list your favorite one right now. Which is the one you worked on first this morning? Well, there's four. They're all different in various stages, but I like to focus on the one that's going to be coming out first, paying us royalties, that's going to happen this quarter. And of course, you do a lot of work in the United States. Is that correct? Correct. So we're focused in the U.S. with a primary focus on California, simply because it's the largest market in North America. So in looking at your portfolio companies, I was really intrigued with QVI, it's in Sonoma, California. Can you tell us a little bit more about how that one's evolving? Sure. So, you know, that was the last investment that we made in our portfolio, and they will be the first one up and running this quarter. We've got an excellent management team with a very relevant experience, and we're expecting very big things from them, and starting to produce royalties as soon as this quarter. Now we often, you know, ask questions from the most recent news releases, and you had one about EasyCrete. Love the name of the company has to do with compliance, can you tell us more about this? Sure. They're a point-of-sale software compliance firm. You know, it's a SaaS model, the software is a service model. They've signed on a large, large client in California, which is a big step for them towards, you know, growing and becoming the dominant player in that industry. And so can you tell us a little bit more about the competitive advantages of why we should look at Fincana? So Fincana is diversified by investing in four companies. To date, we have enough money for a fifth investment. We're diversified both geographically in California and across a number of different sectors, and we invest in private companies. And if you want to be able to invest in top-quality private companies, the only way to invest in them directly is through us. Well, as always, it's a real pleasure. Thank you. Thanks, Trace. I appreciate it.


Here is the way to win. So you're inside of your company, am I right? And you're the best. You're not the best in the world, that's a problem. The fact that you're the best in your company creates entitlement. It creates, I'm, dude, no you're not. There's somebody that will make you look like an amateur. There's somebody that will come in and recruit your whole team. You better watch out. Every single day you have to work like someone's tried and take it all away from you in the next 24 hours. Guys, there's something that I live with, it's called a healthy paranoia. Healthy paranoia, okay?  It could happen if I rest. Choose your rest. When is the right time to rest? Where should I rest, okay? Yeah, never admit that you're tired. Rule number one, never admit it. Never give in to your body, never, never. I hear people say I'm tired, no you're not.  Don't you agree with that? There's another level, this is an opportunity for you right now to say no, I'm not tired.  I'm gonna wake up, I'm not tired at all. And you go, and some of you, you don't even know what I'm talking about right now and I'm sharing it with you but you don't understand it. I'm asking you with the life of me to please, is being average make you happy?    Look, average is trying to concrete your feet in the ground, it's the truth. You're not here for only war tracks, you're not here only for closing.  You guys should carry a spirit with you that runs with you, that everywhere you go, it is clear.  Okay, when I'm around him, does he look lost or does he look like he can guide me? Do you hear me? Okay, listen, it's not a close, those aren't words. That's the way you carry yourself, okay?  He was the only guy and I just would watch the way that he believed in everything that he was doing even if it was right or wrong. And I was like, dude, that's like part of the key of winning is just believing in yourself.   You are not moving the needle in your company. You're not moving it. You're not moving the needle in your life. Today, everything changes. I am challenging you today to go back home and be different and never be the same again.


Hey, Mr. President. Hey, hi. How are you? How are you, sir? Thank you. Good to see you again. Well, good to see you. You've been doing all right, Pope. Yeah. I think so. I might have put it this way. I had this over my office for a long time, but I didn't bring it because you know you had this little bus building out of them. Someone said, well, they go and walk around on the canyon, but this is made by National God Technician. They're in my district by the name of Paul Taylor. It's a treated hickory, and he and his wife do this hobby, and it comes out with some beautiful flowers. Oh, my goodness. Yes. And that's beautiful. Oh, yes. And I know it has the whole family's names. It has all the names. Good to see you. Good to see you. Can I have these addressed so I can maybe send you one of these pictures? I'll leave it with them. All right. You've got to. All right. I think this is great.  Right. And then, with all the money and everything, I wondered why didn't they have every point of care that they used because they'd come in pretty handy to walk through Central Park. Especially like they would. And it couldn't be called a legal weapon. That's right. But you could use it legally. Yes. Yeah. Peaceful. And it collects the wood. And then he does the cob and the treating. But that is, that's sacred. And it's one piece of wood.  It's amazing. It peeled down. Yeah. Good to see you, sir. Good to see you. Good to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you. What was it you said to the talk? You've got a couple. You've got a black thorn on your stick. Yeah. Jack will pack it. Yeah. Okay. Here are that. This first photo. He's a big supporter. Yeah. And this is it. This is it. This is it. All right. I'm doing the horse. Not this ranch. The old ranch. The guy was out working in the yard. And he recognized me. And he came down with the fence. And he said, Can you get any of the raccoons up around your place? And I said, Oh, we see the tracks all the time. And he said, No, I mean, Did you ever catch one? And I said, No, He says, Delicious. And I said, I've heard about that. A raccoon, You actually, He says, Yeah, But he says, There's a secret to it. And then he gave me a routine. Like, You marinate them in salt water or something for like 12 hours. And then you do something else. And finally, By about the third day, You put it in the oven and bake it. And then he says, NID5, You detect from roast pork. You put all that trouble Widened up with the roast pork. Mr. President, I don't get to see you often enough, sir. Thank you very much for this opportunity. I want you to And now, Carl from Atlas, Mississippi. Nice to see you. Our donor, Allison. And Uncle Scarra. Yes. That's ZU. Yes. Got that? Good to see you. Good to see you. I had a chance to thank you Because I know a little bit of support that you did. And Lady Campany, Mr. President, He was very much involved in your campany location in Mississippi. Been a long time active for about a minute. And then he said, I could just bring my family and me And put them there like that. I'm glad that you did. Why don't we all get in together? I'm going to take a picture. Right here. Are we smiling, bub? I thought you were talking to me. Thank you, sir. Okay. Well, I'm delighted to see you. I had a chance to say thanks to you. Thank you very much. Well, we know that. That's great. Thank you very much. Actually, their hometown, Natchez, is not my district. But I do kind of sneak up out of my district a little bit around that little town on above the street. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. That's right. It was yesterday. Yeah. Okay. That's great. We'll see you later. Thank you, sir. It should be at least 12. This is a shorter video. Oh, wait a minute. Thank you. Yes, if you would. Really, this thing is misprinting. This is misprinting. Provides it to you. But I have to say I'm really, very proud of it. I'm proud of my government. To be able to produce something like this. This is the public office. public report on the Vice President's task force. It's being released today. Thank you very much. Thank you for all your work on this, and I know how much the Vice President on that, and I agree with you about distribution. We've got another day. Sir? All right. Give a little to me. All right. How was the meeting? That's fine. I've got mine. It'll be nice for you. The copy of the public report on the Vice President's task force on combating terrorists is usually called the official classified report in December. And this represents all of the material that was in that classified report. The only difference being the extracted, those sensitive, in a classified sense, pieces of information. We intend this to be given wide distribution both in this country and I think it could very well be distributed to our friends and allies and like-minded citizens abroad to give them and let them know how determined we are in combating this threat in the national case. Well, thank you very much, and thank you for all the hard work that you all put in on this. Well, the pleasure was in the satisfaction, Mr. President. Mr. President, if Congress turns down your aid request to the conference, sir, are you going to have to consider sending U.S. troops? There is no request for such troops. There is no plan on our part. And whoever took something out of my remarks the other day, I think was distorted. I take it then, sir. If others try to cast this vote as an either or proposition, that is, either the money or troops, they would be wrong. Good morning, Mr. President. Good morning. See you again. Hi. There will be, hi, Mickey, all of you. There will be two press waves. The first one is only the clickers and the second one is the sound. So they make sure that I didn't say anything inappropriate. I'm going to make a few remarks while the second wave is in. Both camera. Everybody spread. The truth is, I'm the same. I still need a little better say. I'm going to say my name. But you should. I'm thinking. Get a good smile, Tom. Get close. That sounds better. L-E-L-O-E. L-E-S-L-E-R. And it's worse liberty. You felt us up there for what we call in Hollywood an over-the-shoulder shot. 100 best shoulders. 100 has got his name on it's back. I'm back in my hand because he never goes the other way. It's always great idea. Just don't say the wrong thing. Well, if the issue we're facing and the stakes are properly understood, we should be able to muster bipartisan support. We've seen some evidence of this emerging already and some of the committee votes, but we've got a long way to go. What the Congress is about to decide goes right to the heart, I think, of our national security. And I intend to bring this issue directly to the people in the television address. I know that you work with us right up to the day of the vote to see to it that your colleagues and the American people understand how great the stakes are. Even as we meet, Nicaragua's dictator is back in November meeting with Castro. And I think it's significant that Bayardo Arce, one of Nicaragua's nine commandanties, was the first foreigner asked to address the recent Soviet party Congress. It's up to us to persuade the members of Congress of what the consequences will be for Nicaragua, the Central America and for the safety of our own country if we fail to act. And that's what we propose to do in the next two weeks. Mike. President, do you believe that people who vote against you on the Hill are supporting the communists? If so, inadvertently. And you don't agree then with Mr. Buchanan that the Democratic Party is based for the choice of supporting you or supporting the communists? Well, it's what the choice comes down to whether it is knowingly enough and I've had enough experience with communist subversion back in my former profession to know that a great many people are deceived and not aware that what they're doing is inimical to the interests of the United States. Thank you. Couldn't just be an honest disagreement with you on the way to proceed? We're stretching pretty far because we're going to make the facts so plain. What time is your television address, sir? You said you want to make one. Do you know what day yet? I don't know whether the day has been decided but I'm the last in the room. Hey, Sam Lawrence has to let us answer that question. That's right. That's right. That's right. Sam Diego, write down here. Can you stand? Because he asked her the question mark. I just said it about red. I need to wait for a while. I'm going to sit here. I'm looking down. Well, anyway, let me repeat again. It's good to come here. It's good to have you a good organization back for a visit. We ought to do it more often. We will. Clearly our biggest challenge for the next two weeks will be to secure adoption of our package of assistance to it. As I understand it, the four committees, Armed Services, House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and Appropriations dealing with this and one of them, Armed Services has voted it out with a favorable vote. Intelligence and Appropriations voted unfavorably, but one of those was a voice vote so that there are some people there that aren't really on the record as being opposed if we can persuade them. Well, that's the one that passed. Armed Services did that pass in the voice vote. It was one of the appropriations. Appropriations. Appropriations. Yeah, the defeat was a voice vote. Well, but it was on, as you know, the Michael Murphy resolution.  I understand it's going to be scheduled. Is that square with your information track? 19th, yes, sir. I would have been on television by then. Good. Okay. I know that most of you in this room supported covert military able freedom fighters last year. Unfortunately, our efforts couldn't prevail. With that in mind, it becomes even more important to have your full support again this year. In fact, I hope the entire whip organization will be working to help pass Michael Murphy in the House. Now I'm going to call on George and show us to describe the package.


I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the crime club. I'm the librarian. The corpse wore a wig. Yes, we have that crime club story for you. Come right over. Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable? The book is on this shelf. Here it is. The corpse wore a wig by George Bagby. The very intriguing story of a method of dying that was as deadly as murder. Let's look at it under the reading lamp. It was a few minutes before noon and Inspector Schmidt was already having his troubles in his office at New York City's police headquarters. As a matter of fact, he was having his hands full, rubbing his aching feet. And all howl they ached. Hello Schmidt talking, what do you want? Inspector, this is Cassidy. That's a big help. Which Cassidy are you? The sergeant, sir.  I don't start wondering until I know what you're talking about, Cassidy. It's right, you are. You know the good Inspector McKee went on his vacation last night. Yes, yes, but what's that got to do with me? Well, I'm working for you now, Inspector McKee's orders. Oh, my aching feet. That's the reason, sir. Well, I'm down here in the coroner's autopsy room. You know that suicide cadaver that was brought in this morning? I had him brought in. That's Dr. Jeremy Bullock. I wanted a autopsy none. It's been done and it was no suicide, Inspector. What? Clear and simple. An open and shut case of murder. Let me talk to the coroner. Well, he just left a few minutes ago. He got a call to go out on another killing. And he asked me to... There we are. I'll be down as soon as I get my shoes on and learn to walk again. What's this about murder? It is the mortal remains of Dr. Jeremy Bullock, Inspector Schmidt, on that table. And here's the coroner's report, sir. All right. It's enough to make you wonder what people who do next to a case like this. In all my 32 years on the police force... Stop, Cassidy. Eight years, sir. Time of death between 11 o'clock and midnight. Last night. Contents of stomach, rye, whisky and chlorophyte rates. That's a sleeping medicine. Cassidy, there's nothing here that I didn't know before. I found the bottle of chloral in the desk in Dr. Bullock's consulting room. Where does the murder come in? It was no overdose of medicine that killed him, Inspector. No? No. According to what the coroner told me, there ain't enough of that stuff in the cadaver to be cause of death. Well, why isn't that on the report? Oh, no, no. Don't blame the poor fellow. He's doing the whole job alone. Because the rest of the staff has outgiven them smallpox vaccinations. All right, Cassidy. What killed Dr. Bullock? He was shot in the head, sir. What's that? It's a fact. And a very close range, too. It's a fact that the doctor marks and burns all over. Are you trying to tell me I looked at that corpse less than three hours ago and didn't see a bullet hole in the head? Well, nobody's seen it, not even the coroner. Till the wig came off. The what? Like it was his own hair it was. The coroner was just about to perform an autopsy on the brain when it happened. I see. It was a moment for start-outs. All right. To the top of the head. Where's the bullet, Cassidy? Here it is, sir. It's a slug from a 25. Small, huh? What did this guy need a wig? He's got more hair than I have. That's the one thing I couldn't understand. The wig he was wearing was the exact duplicate of the hair that was growing right out of his head. That's it on the chair. Bring it here. Yes, it's a puzzler, all right. There's only blood on the inside of this thing. On the lighting. No bullet hole? No, sir. Then Dr. Bullock wasn't wearing it at the time he was killed. He was put on his head afterward. Yes, sir. I'm going to do a complete job on it. And on that cute little nurse of his, too, Miss Theresa Chalmers, if she's still around. I heard you first time. What do you want? Who are you? I beg your pardon. Do you always lead with that tone of voice? I sometimes lead with my left. I'm Inspector Schmidt. Police had caught us. Please. Oh, oh, my goodness. Well, come right in. I didn't mean to be brusque. But there's so much to do here. So much. Oh, dear. He was a policeman, too. Well, I didn't listen to you, but... But he called me a character inspector. This terrible day, this dreadful day. What are you doing here? I'm Spencer Talcott, a scout specialist. My salon is just around the corner from here, one flight up. I give treatments for every known variety of scalp disorder. I also give beauty treatments, hair-waving, wrenches of every description. My salon is a byword. Have you got a card? Yes. Now, Mr. Talcott, what are you doing here? I heard about the horrible tragedy in the midst of giving someone a treat. When my assistant, Ms. Foley, brought me the news. You can just imagine how I felt. Not now, if you don't mind. Jeremy Bullock, suicide. Unbelievable. He was so perfectly balanced. Good heavens, Inspector. What are you doing? Taking off my shoes. Any objections? Well, I must say... Well, don't.  What do you know about wigs? Wigs? Are you talking to me? I hope so. I don't know anything about wigs. My job is to do everything I can to avoid them for my clients. I am a scientist. Yeah, where's the girl? Would you be crudely referring to Dr. Bullock's nurse? Where is she, Talcott? Oh, well, you're not the shalt inspector. Ms. Chalmers is resting in Dr. Bullock's living waters. The shock of her employer's unexpected death and frame? Tell her to come in here. Inspector... The poor child is just the tangle of nerves. Couldn't you forego the usual procedure... Get going, Talcott. Of course. You give me no alternative. If only there were not so many brutes in this world to tell decent people where to go. And that caused me a character. Forget it, Cassidy. You notice anything about this place that's out of line? Only that worm that just crawled out of here. If I were a private citizen without the dignity of a whole department to uphold, I'd show... Well, actually, this room is all wrong. Thanks for the cooperation. The furniture's old and broken down. Now, this is a high-class building and a fine high-class neighborhood. Pretty expensive, huh? Well, if I'm any judge of rentals, it's more than the likes of me... Well, I'll be an Englishman. What's the matter, Sergeant? Now, what would that dirty, dilapidated moose head be doing on the wall of a doctor's waiting room? A moose head with one eye and a crack under the chin. Take the sort of thing that gives peace of mind to Cassidy. But it is something to wonder about. Inspector Schmidt. Oh, Miss Chalmers. Mr. Talcott said you wanted to see me. Come in, come in. We don't have to talk long distance. I'm not feeling well, Inspector. I hope you'll understand. Don't expect him to do anything so human, my dear. I told him exactly how miserable you were, but he insidiously... Cassidy, go through this place and see what you can pick up. I'll do that, sir. Now, Miss Chalmers. What do you want? I told you everything hours ago. You told me you came to work this morning and found Dr. Bullock sitting at his desk. Dead. That isn't everything, young lady. What? I'd like to know more about Dr. Bullock. Why a sloppy waiting room like this and why that moose head? I don't know, Inspector. How long have you been his nurse? Six months. Just dump of an office. All kinds? What are you getting at? Miss Chalmers, I've been a policeman too long not to recognize a phony setup. You saw nothing wrong with it this morning. Bright girl. I wasn't looking for the same kind of evidence. The same kind... Inspector. You're catching on fast. Jeremy Bullock didn't commit suicide. I knew it. He took an overdose of that chloral hydrate by mistake. He murdered it. You take second, money talcant. But of all the ridiculous, utterly very tragic... Now go back to your stall. But you won't think of next, you policeman. Good heaven.  Oh, good patient, please. I don't believe it. It can't be true. Somebody dropped enough chloral hydrate into some rye whiskey to put Dr. Bullock to sleep and then shot him in the head. In the head? Did you ever see this wig before? No. And what's more... Wait a minute. That looks like Jerry's hair. Jerry? Was he? No, he wasn't. How long has it been Jerry, Miss Choms? We were going to be married in two weeks. Is that so? I know what you're thinking. He was old enough to be my father. But I didn't care, I loved him. Was Jerry really murdered? Would you like to see his body again? Talcant, she killed him. Kate Foley killed him. Kate? My assistant? Well, you must be out of your mind. She threatened him.  Don't stop, Miss Charmers. This is becoming very interesting.  That jealous lunatic. She had no claim on Jerry. He never promised to marry her. Are you saying you're waving paradise now? Of course. But, my dear inspector, you can't be thinking that...   But Kate, she's one in a million expert assistants. Oh, I almost forgot my shoes. Dear me, what am I going to do? Don't say another word. The minute I get into these, I start hating things. All things. Kate. Oh, Catherine. Save your breath, Talcant. The door unlatched. And she has appointments. It could be she's got other things on her mind. Well, where does she live? She didn't run away, inspector. Oh, dear, such a splendid assistant. And with just the right attitude. Miss Foley's address, Talcant. Yes. It's in my book, right there on the desk. How can you be so unsympathetic? It's a tough world. Hmm. Say, this is quite a display of bottles you've got in this cabinet. All right. Oh, those are my products. Talcant's dandruff lotion. Talcant's henna rinse. Talcant's golden rinse. Talcant's hair dye black. Talcant's hair dye brown. Talcant's for dry scalp. Talcant's for oily scalp. You believe in Talcant's, don't you? Those are my own concoctions, inspector. I'm a scientist. Oh, I see. Dr. Bullock was about 55, wasn't he? About. It won't be necessary to go to her home, inspector. Their child left this note for me. She's gone to lunch. Where? For goodness sakes, how should I know? Miss Foley has a life of her own. She doesn't have to tell me. What time will she be back? She has an appointment with a very distinguished park having a matron at four o'clock. That gives me two hours to... Inspector Schmidt. I was just leaving, Cassidy. Yes, sir. The young lady told me where to find you to keep the records of his patients. I know, I know. We'll see. There was nothing in it. Not one record of a single patient. And that set me to... Sergeant, what about the evidence? Well, I'm coming to that, sir. It was the thing I was something a kosher. And then I looked and I found it in the bottom drawer of the desk in a medical book. You found what? This card, inspector, with Louis Denby's name and address on it. And it says... 974 West 52nd Street. Let's go, Cassidy. We'll find out the connection between Bullock and Denby. Inspector Schmidt. What do you want, Talcott? What shall I say to Miss Fowler when she returns? Tell her not to get lost. She's got an appointment with me too. All right, Cassidy. Will, will, will, but you know, this fellow believes in advertising, doesn't he? Talcott's dandruff lotion, Talcott's hair dye. Come on, come on. Are we going to pay Louis Denby a visit? You are. I'm going back to headquarters. Oh, it's your feet again. My feet and my head. But in between, there's a hunch I'll do better at headquarters than anywhere else. Are you having a good lunch, Kate? Oh, you. Checking up on me, Mr. Talcott? We didn't miss a formal, dear. With you, how can a girl be otherwise? I've just done you a tremendous favor. And at a great risk to myself. I'll bet. How much is it going to cost me? I told the police. I didn't know where you were, but of course I knew all along. Police?  What do the police want with me? A certain Inspector Schmidt is frightfully upset about the death of Jeremy Bullock. So? It seems your friend did not commit suicide. What? He was murdered. Oh, no. Kate, where were you last night between 11 o'clock and midnight? I was... Say, who appointed you Chief Constable of Madison Avenue? The police are going to ask you the same question, dear. Yeah, why?  When? Yesterday afternoon. It was mad as a hatter because Jeremy threw you over for Tracer. If anything, you should happen to you. It won't. I wouldn't know where to look for another assistant. Have some coffee, Spencer.  Oh, you don't have to. Oh, but I do. Jeremy Bullock never meant any more to me than you did. Now, look here, Catherine. Nothing personal. He was a guy I went out with a few times. I went out with you too, didn't I? Sure, but did we ever talk of getting married? Oh, dear, it gets more and more and more complicated. Why didn't Tracer tell Inspector Schmidt? Oh, so that's where he got it, huh? Naturally. Didn't you know? No, my pudgy little lamb. I thought it was from one of the other 2,000. Well, goodbye for now. Where are you going? To choke somebody with a wagging tongue. But, Catherine, you didn't have your coffee. Oh, dear. I wonder if she put too much sugar in it.  You're not in the payroll any more, honey. I used to be wrestling champ with a finger wagging league. Nobody ever beat me. What do you want? A heart-to-heart talk. Yours better be wide open or I'll stop it for good.  Now, that's up to you. Why did you tell the police I threatened to kill Jerry? Because you did. You said that if he married me. I know what I said, but why did you tell the police? What did you expect me to do? Jerry was murdered. So, right away you sent me up for the frying pan. You robbed me of the only man I ever loved. That's the truth. And I'm not going to see you get away with it. You're not going to see anything, honey, unless you start telling the whole truth. Kate. I've put a lot of curls and hair in my time. I wouldn't like to put one in your neck. Help! What are you trying to do? Start a riot? Say when and I'll let you breathe again. You've got a lot of talking to do and you're not doing me any good yelping into my hand. All right. Don't try to catch any more flies. You almost smothered me. Well, shall we talk now? If there's any... When I came in here last night at ten o'clock you ran into the examination room and locked yourself in. I didn't want another scene with you. That's not what Jerry told me. He said you were crying. That's not so. He also told me that you and he were in the midst of a terrible bust. What? He wasn't going to marry you. I'll see you here, Kate, if you're making this up. I left at ten fifteen you were still in the examination room where Jerry kept all his medicines and drugs. He never had chloral hydrate. I can't believe you. But I... It doesn't pay to talk out of turn, does it, Theresa?  Good for you, but who saw you? Well, the... You're wrong, honey. There was no night watch in this building last night. No doorman. You can't prove I was here last night, Kate. That's right. And if you say anything about it, I'll deny it. It'll be your word against mine. That's what it is now.  That's too bad. And I knew Jerry before you did.  Shall I go on? I can't stop you. He also told you that he was using you to get rid of me. What?  Jerry used that stunt on me to get rid of a previous commitment. So we're two of a kind. You fight for your life and I'll fight for mine. Maybe if we say the right things to the right people, we'll both live to a ripe old age. Yes? Yes, Captain. We'll put some men to work on it right away. Okay. Now get the board to switch me through the toxicology. Hello, Inspector Schmidt, talking. Sergeant Kasby at this insert. Well, hold it. I'm on the inter-office line. Hello, Dr. Jones, Schmidt. I want a complete story on everything chloral hydrate is used for. Yeah. Get the report down to me as soon as it's ready. Go ahead, Kasady. Thank you, sir. You don't say. What is? What about Louis? He stretched out in the middle of the floor. What's that? In the showroom, sir. And it was a bullet from a 25 that put an end to his lifelong career of crime. Murdered? Yes, Inspector, I felt exactly the same way about it. How do you know it was a 25 that killed him? Well, sir, the bullet went right through his body and packed itself in the wall. He was a very skinny fellow. It was a 25 that killed Dr. Bullock, too. Okay, Kasady, I'll be there in 20 minutes. Right through the heart at close range. He's been dead around six hours. Somebody didn't want Louis to talk, sir. Thanks for telling me. But why, Kasady? That's the question. Well, Inspector Schmidt, it's all in the record. What record? Louis, when I came to this little bear room with the mirrors all around the walls, the first thought that came into my mind was, why a bear room with mirrors? So I made a thorough investigation. Yeah? It was in that room over there that I found the reason. A factory where Louis Denby manufactured wigs. What? Yes, sir. All colors and all descriptions. Good Lord. Bullock gets a wig from Denby and they're both killed by the same caliber gun. We've got to find out why, Kasady. We'll see. It's about that record, I was telling you. After I see what the setup was here, I decided to look around. Just tell me about the record. I found it on this card in the drawer of Louis' work table. Now, let me see it. 23 Main Drive, St. Louis. Well, this is a business card. It's on the other side. The information that might be... January 6, 1940, lead poisoning. In St. Louis. Lead poisoning. Chloral hydrate. A wig. A moose head. Kasady, we're almost in. What did you say? Now, go back to headquarters, get the St. Louis police on the phone. I want a full report on Dr. Jeremy Bullock to have some suspects and hold a conference in Dr. Bullock's office. Not Inspector. My goodness, you must try to understand. Sit down, Talcott, you make my feet tired. But you have no right to detain Miss Foley. She has appointments. You're ruining my business. Don't disturb him, Spencer. I like it here. It's almost like a vacation. Miss Foley, how long have you been in New York? All my life, honey. I'm from Brooklyn, and I root for the Giants. I came here from Philadelphia two years ago. Your next, Talcott. Appointments are going to waste, and you dare hold a geography class. How about it? Where did you float in from? I don't float. I'm a native New Yorker. And if you don't stop asking this ridiculous... I'm going to...   What? And I suppose not one of you ever heard of Louis Denby. Not even you, Miss Charmers? No. What? I know lots of people who know too much about lead poisoning inspector, and wish they didn't. Thanks, Miss Foley. Artists and painters. Would you know what usually happens to them? Are you kidding? They lose their hair. They even get bald. But Dr. Bullock didn't get bald, did he? He didn't have lead poisoning, dearie. He did, seven years ago. He had to have a week. But Jerry wasn't bald. No, Miss Charmers. He wasn't. But he was a terrible mess at one time. No, nothing. Suppose we find out. Do you think this couch will mind if I stand on it? What are you going to do? Find out if this crack under the chin was a result of a fight with another moose or the work of... Holy angels. Spencer, look, there's a door in the darn thing. I'm not going to look. It's too disgusting. Well, what will Mother Nature think of next? And I'm not going to stay here while a vandal wastes my precious time. You have nothing more to say to me, Inspector. There are two blue uniforms out in the hall. And they're very anxious to go for a ride. You've got no right to keep me prisoner. I won't stand for it. Inspector, did that water paper come out of that moose end? Surprise, Miss Foley. Well, aren't you? Since when does a moose read newspapers? From St. Louis. And papers seven years old at that. But there's something else. A list of some of the worst gunmen in New York. What about these, Miss Charmers? I don't know anything about them. Hmm. You wouldn't even try to remember, would you? I said I don't know. All right, we'll give you a chance at police headquarters. You're not going to arrest me. I haven't done anything. Oh, no one ever does. Come here, Talcott. What do you want? So you've never been in St. Louis, have you? I didn't say that, Inspector. I said I was a native New Yorker. So you did. Now tell me your name's always been Talcott. Aren't you going to? Are you afraid of this news photo of a man called Tal Spencer? Who's the image of you? Well, so I did make a mistake. I did manufacture a hair dye that Jeremy, Dr. Bullock and other people use that had lead compound in it. This paper says that you were sued by 128 people and that you skipped town. Naturally. I didn't have enough money to face it. But I'm ready to pay all damages now. Of course it was a terrible mistake. Seven years ago. You hang a man for that. Not for that. But for murder. Let's take a ride downtown. There's so much I'd like you to tell me about the truth. What are you talking about? It's urgent custody, sir. Do you know what time it is? It's exactly 9.42. I'm sorry to disturb you at home. I was giving my feet a hot bath and you dragged me across the living room to the telephone. What for? I'm still down here at headquarters. I've got a teletype report. Dr. Bullock was no doctor. He lost his license four years ago because he... Hatching up the wounds of robbers and gunmen. Yes, that's what he was doing in New York too. Oh, my. His real name was Spencer and Bullock was blackmailing him. Oh, that again. Spencer made up a hair dye in St. Louis that almost ruined Bullock's scalp. It was a big scandal. What? Horal hydrate. Used as a base in most dandruff remedies and Spencer Talcott used it in his. Oh, he comes to beat in the police department of our great city of New York in New York. Good night, Cassidy. It closes tonight's crime clubbook. The corpse wore a wig based on a story by George Bagby. Steadman Coles did the radio adaptation. Roger Bauer produced and directed. Cameron Poudin played Inspector Schmidt. Ted Osborne was heard as Spencer Talcott. Barry Thompson was Cassidy. Elsbert Eric was Kate Foley. And Elaine Kent played Theresa Chalmers. Oh, I beg your pardon. Hello. I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes. This is the crime club. I'm the librarian. Yes. Come over a week from tonight. Good. We have a very unusual story of a double cross, but doubled and redoubled with murder. It's called death is a genius. In the meantime. Well, in the meantime, there's a new crime clubbook available this weekend. Every week at bookstores everywhere. Yes, it's available now. Fine. And we'll look for you next week. This program came from New York. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

And now, Autolight presents transcribed The Face is Familiar, starring Mr. Jack Benny, hoping once again to keep you in suspense. I still can't understand why they picked me of all people. Me of all people. That's why it's so hard to believe that it all happened, I mean. But it did. It really did. Just because I like to go to the railroad station, walk around, look at the trains, study faces. I never forget a face. I never forget a train, either. But it's easier to forget a face. But a matter of fact, I remember some faces would be a lot better for me to forget. Like Harry Edmund's face, for instance. That's the day it all started. The day I saw Harry Edmund way across on the other side of the terminal. That's the station. He was talking to a big fellow. Harry's face I remember right away. I never saw the big fellow before. But I get going, Harry. But you can't pull off the job. I stuck up a bank before. Yeah, sure. And they spot you the minute you walk there. I know you too. This is your hometown. Oh, sure. Neither one of us is right. Let the boss decide. Come on. I thought about it on the train down. We need somebody new. And that's splitting the stake with anybody else. It goes three ways now. Look, if we have to, we have to. And if we wait too long, we've got to let the whole thing go until next month. Then we wait. Not for me. This town is too hot for me. Somebody is liable to recognize me. Yoo-hoo, Harry. Harry Edmund. Who's that? Where? Over there. Some guy calling you. Harry. Harry Edmund, you old son of a gun. Brush this guy. Well, well. Good old Harry Edmund. You got me mixed up with somebody else, Mr. No. No, I haven't. I know who you are. Yeah. Harry Edmund. You used to live on 12th Street and 2nd Avenue. What city? This city. Here. Don't you remember me, Harry? Can't say as I do so. Harry. Oh, Harry Edmund. Harry. Hey, Harry. No kidding. You remember me, don't you? Seriously, Harry. You remember Pinky Smith? He had a warrant on his finger. And Alan Davenport. He had a birthmark on his neck. Well, I'm Tom Jones. I have nothing. I'm clean. Brush him. Get rid of him. No, no, no. I think we got our answer. I think we got the engine paint to handle some of our bank business. Harry. Harry, try to remember. Try to remember. Yeah. 12th Street and 2nd Avenue. That's right. That's right. Well, I used to live around here somewhere, but I still can't... Let me give you a hint. Go ahead. Remember Gordon's candy store on the corner? And remember the great bunch of guys who used to hang out there? Yeah. And remember those pesty kids who used to tag along, nagging, nagging, saying, let us in. Can we come to? Always pesting. Always trying to horn in. Well, one of them was me, Tom Jones. Remember me now, Harry? What'd you say your name was again? Jones. Tom Jones. The name sounds very familiar. We grew up together. Yeah. Yeah. Well, what are you doing these days? Oh, a little bit of everything. And you? A banking. Oh, money, eh? Yeah. Well, that's a nice feel. Well, I gotta go look at the people. It was good talking over old times with you, Harry. Hey, come on. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Look, you mind waiting a minute? What's your name again? Tom Jones. Remember? Yeah. Yeah. Tom. Yeah, well, wait a minute. Well, I'm kind of busy. Lots of appointments this afternoon. I like talking over old times with you, Tom. Maybe we could have a drink and dinner. Well. On me. Oh. Oh, well. Yeah. Good. Good. Except that Joe has an appointment here. Joe, couldn't you break it? Wait here a second. Tom. Tom Jones. Tom, yeah. Joe, come here. Let me talk to you a second. What? Now I know I got the answer. I know I found the pigeon who's gonna do it for us. Let the boss figure that out. I tell you, I got it figured. Look at that guy. Yeah. He is it. Him. He don't look like nothing. Right. He's nothing. It's not what we want. Nobody that anybody ever saw before. Nobody that anybody would ever think of looking at twice. Job's ready. And if we don't pull it this afternoon, we lose another whole month. So, come on. Oh, Joe can make it. He is gonna join us. Joe, I forgot to introduce you. Have you met... It's Jones for heaven's sake. Yeah. Tom Jones. Tom Jones. Yeah. Well, Tom, meet Joe and don't get so off. As a kid, I grew up with Joe. We're gonna have a great time talking over old times. You know, secondary. That's right. And your name is Tom Jones. Yeah. I must admit it. It is a difficult name to remember because it's so common. Don't you think so? Well, I sure do. Oh, certainly be nice talking over old times. Oh, yeah. I haven't talked over old times in a long time. Well, well, Harry Edmonds. Yes, sir. And good old Tom. Tom, yeah. Better get started. Where to? Want you to meet another old friend of mine. Harry must have been doing very well. Very well. I mean for a man in the money game. He had a brand new sedan with real leather upholstery. I know it was real leather because that used to be my game. Leather upholstery. Not much money, at least not for me. But I didn't let Harry know that. No, sir. What if he ran into another old friend from Second Avenue? The other old friend said, how's old Tom Jones doing? And Harry said, not very well. Not very well at all. Well, that can hurt a man once it gets around. And then what happened? Well, when I came back to the main office, I said I want 40% commission from now on. Really? But, of course, that would have made me a partner, the boss said. After all, Harry, I'm not the kind of guy who can be cooped up in an office. I've been a road man. The lure of the open road. Oh, yeah. The call of the open streets. See, I'm an outdoor type of salesman. Something of the pioneer kind, you know? Pioneer? Yeah, yeah, pioneer, yeah. You see, they're those salesmen who are made for offices and those of us who get out and break the plane, so to speak. Tom, you surprise me. Oh, I could keep going for hours, Harry. Literally hours. Yeah, well, why don't you hold on to something until we have dinner? Oh, sure, sure. I bet you never expected that pasty little kid who always used to hang around to get so big in his field. Oh, I certainly did. We could sure use somebody like you in our outfit, Tom. Really? Yeah. Well, that's very flattering, but... I'm not sure it's right for me. I'd have... I bet I could get you, I don't know, maybe 10,000 a year at the start, what? 10,000 a year, you say? Yeah. Well, I'd sure like to think about it. Will you talk to my boss? Maybe he can convince you. I'm willing to listen, Harry. I'm willing to listen, all right. The business Harry was in was mighty successful if the home of his boss was any indication. It was a beautiful big yellow house with a lovely green front door, and you could tell it was the home of a man who had worked his way up and knew what to do with what he had. Inside, it was very homey. Two fireplaces in the living room that looked like they were burning. A beautiful plaid carpet that must have been a real Orientalan. They wanted me in the business. Me, Tom Jones, of all people. Randy, Mr. Jones? No, thanks. Thanks. Boy, my dinner. Cigar? Well... A whole clear Havana. Oh, I can see that. I can always tell a good cigar just by looking at it. I know cigars and faces and trains.  Well, you're kind of unusual yourself. Why? You remember my name. Most people? Most people don't even recognize me. People I've known for years. Is that so? Don't get me wrong. It's an asset in my business. See, people who tell me no when I try to sell them something say, come back next year. But I come back next week and they don't even remember I was in the first time. Believe me, a face like mine doesn't come along every day.   Certainly not, Mr.... Just call me boss. Everybody calls me that. Especially people I like.  I like you too, boss. Then you're interested in coming into the organization? Oh, I might give it a whirl. Let's put it that way. I wouldn't want it any other way. A trial for both of us. And the pay, Harry mentioned? Oh, I told him a starting salary, boy. Let's talk about that at dinner. Come on, we'd better get started. Isn't a quarter to three in the afternoon a little early for dinner? We have a few errands to do. Excuse us, just a minute. Oh, of course. Of course, sure. You like the idea? Perfect. Nobody'll ever remember. I couldn't even describe to you what he looks like. Where's the satchel? Right here, boss. I... I thought you put the note inside. Well, we wanted you to okay it first. Here, read it. You are being covered by a gun from two different places in this bank. Do not send an alarm or you will be killed. Put $50,000 in the satchel. That's it. And a note. How will you get them to pick it in? All has come up with the answers, don't they? Yes, sure, boss. Come on, let's go.  Uh... For the last time, it's Jones. Tom Jones. Yeah, well, I was only kidding, Tom. Oh, yeah. Well, all right. We'd better get started. Where to first? To the bank, Tom. That's very kind, but completely unnecessary. I don't need my salary in advance. I told you this is a high class outfit. To the bank. Gee. All right. It's bringing you Mr. Jack Benny. In The Face is Familiar. Tonight's presentation in Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrill's Suspense. This is Harlow Wilcox again. Tonight the worldwide auto-life family is privileged to salute a distinguished member, the DeSoto Division of Chrysler Corporation. So I've stopped in at my local DeSoto Plymouth dealers to learn all about the wonderful DeSoto's 454. Oh, you're right about the new DeSoto automatics, Mr. Wilcox. They are wonderful. And for many reasons. For instance, there's the great DeSoto 170 horsepower FireDome V8 engine. The world's most efficient engine design. Well, explain why, Mr. Dealer. The secrets and the hemispherical design of the combustion chamber. That's where your fuel is exploded to give you power. This design squeezes every last drop of power out of your fuel. But you use regular gasoline for real economy. This plus DeSoto's fully automatic power flight transmission, power steering, power brakes, and auto-light electrical equipment are just a few of the many reasons why the 1954 DeSoto automatics put you ahead automatically. Thank you, Mr. Dealer. Auto-light is proud of its long connection with DeSoto and DeSoto Plymouth dealers everywhere. And now auto-light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage Mr. Jack Benny in Elliot Lewis' production of The Face is Familiar. A tale well-calculated to keep you in suspense. He isn't funny how you wait a long time for your ship to come in. There I was watching a train when my ship came in. Just because I recognize Harry's face. Well, you've got to keep on your toes in this world. Because when opportunity knocks at your door, you've got to be all set to open it. Well, anyway, I'd open the door before I knew it. We were downtown. See the bank already? I hardly noticed we were moving. Do you mind waiting a few minutes? Not at all.   I'm certainly glad Harry met you after all these years. And I'm glad, too. I like Harry. And I like you, too, Tom. Tom, yeah. You know, I feel like I've known all of you. Just all of you since Second Avenue. Boss, I even feel like I grew up with you. That's very nice of you, Tom. Well, who's going to get the payroll? Is that why we stopped at the bank? You pick up your own payroll? Sure, why not? For how much? $50,000.  It's my money, and I work hard for it. It's my way. And if you don't like my way of doing things, Tom... No, no, no, no, not at all. I've always felt personally, and I've always felt that people should pick up their own money. Always. Especially if it's $50,000 or more. Besides, armored cars haven't been doing too well in the past few years. I like the way you think. Well, maybe we should all pick up the payroll. Wouldn't that make us a little too conspicuous? Hmm. Yes. Besides, I want to discuss you a little more. I think you'll work out... Fine. Say, maybe Harry can pick up the money while we talk. I wanted to discuss you with Harry. Oh. Well, how about Joe? Joe picked it up last time. I don't like the same man going in twice in a row. See, not Harry, not Joe, or you. Me? I hate to ask you. You're not really part of my organization yet, and I don't like to see a man work unless he gets paid for it. Well, I'd be happy to. Just delighted. Besides, I'm going to have to get used to large sums of money, and I guess there's no time to start like that. Just take this satchel up to the window and give it to the teller. The withdrawal slip is inside. The teller will know exactly what to do. Fine. Oh, sure, of course. Did you call me? No, no. Get right ahead. My, my, it's certainly crowded. So many people waiting in line. Yeah. People certainly must be doing well these days. Yeah. I'm very busy myself, you know. So? I have some friends waiting for me outside. Good. I was just wondering, if you weren't in a hurry, would you mind... No. Oh. These lines certainly move slowly, don't they? Yeah. Well, he certainly took long enough of that window. Yeah.  Don't you? I guess. Your transaction isn't going to take very long. Nope. Good, good.  Yeah? What sort of business are you in? Penny vending machines. Pennies? All those are pennies? Something wrong with pennies? Oh, no. No, of course not. Excuse me. I think I'll, I'll try that other line. My, my, it's certainly crowded. I beg your pardon? I say it's crowded. For such a big bag. Wouldn't you think they'd have more tellers? I certainly do. I mean, who wouldn't say to handle pennies and so forth? You know, there's one gone. I like the way that teller works. I suppose. Will your transaction take long? Oh, no. Good. I'm in a terrible hurry. Some friends are waiting for me on the outside. Next, please? Yes, madam. Well, in 1950, my husband opened an account in his name, a savings account. Then he transferred it to a checking account. Then we split up that money and opened a joint savings account and joint checking account. But we found out we didn't really close the other savings account. Of course, we thought we did. So some of our checking deposits have been... Look, don't, don't you think you should see the manager instead of taking this teller's time? I'll handle this, sir, if you don't mind. Oh, no. Not at all. Madam, would you please take this up with the manager? But if you don't mind, may I get to the window? Well, yes. The withdrawal slip is in the bag. Oh, withdrawal, next window, please. Now, just a minute. You in there, teller, open up. Yes, sir. See, I've been moving from line to line, and I insist you handle this. I'm sorry, sir. I can't violate the rules for anyone. But this is a very important manner, you know. This isn't just some piddling sound. How much are you withdrawing, sir? I believe it's $50,000. Quite right. That is a lot of money. Now, will you please remove this bag and go to the next window? Well, at least the lines are getting shorter. Yes, they are. Wouldn't you think a bank this size could afford a few extra tellers? Well, how do you mean? I'd say one kind of teller to handle only pennies and another kind of handle matters of $50,000 or more. I beg your pardon? I suppose that sounds a little strange, but you'd be surprised how it would speed things up. Well, I'm sure. And it needs it. Yeah, I came in feeling fine, just fine. Now, I'm nervous from waiting, waiting, waiting. I'll be through in a minute. Well, it's terribly important. You see, some people are waiting for me outside. Next, please. Well, here you are. 20, 30, 40. Thank you. Next, please. Yes, yes. Wait, just a minute. Something wrong? I'll be back in a minute. My friends are calling me. Did you fellas call me? No, no. Go back. But someone honked the horn. I saw somebody else wave. Go back! A mistake. Just turn around and go back. We'll be here. Oh, sure. Sure, of course. All right, sir. Here's the bag. Your deposit slip, sir. Withdrawal. The slip is on the inside. From time to time. Is this a joke, mister? Listen, you. I've had enough. Now, you can read, can't you? Yes, sir. Then don't dawdle. Do what it says. That's fine. That's much better. Yes, sir. Come on. Come on. Go get it. Here's the money. Give me that. Hang on. Give me that. Give me that. Give me that. Give me that. Here's the money. Give me that. Hankins, take some rope down there and tie their hands. I set off the alarm as fast as I could, officer. Come on. Let's get down there. You can show me which one of those guys held you up. All right, officer. I'm sure I'll remember it. This is terrible. Step back, buddy. But it was me. It was you, what? It was me, officer. Look, I took the bag in and I didn't know. Are you kidding? Tell her. Tell her. Look at me. I am. You must be nuts. No, I'm not nuts. It's me. Don't you recognize my face? Look at her. Nothing like it. What did the fellow look like? Well, he had a lean face or slightly fat. No, lean and brown eyes. No. Gosh, I don't know. It was me. Look, blue eyes. See? Me. And I'm sorry. I'm terribly sorry. I'll beat it, bud. Now, think hard. I am. But it was the most nondescript face I've ever seen. Well, that's pretty nasty if you ask me. Oh, tell me what you remember. I can. I was standing there. I just counted out $40. Look, and I walked up to the window. Oh, it wasn't you. This fellow was about six feet tall, or five and a half. Five feet eight. I'm five feet eight. And he had a real menacing look. No, no. I was smiling. See, look. Look, I'm smiling. Look. Now do you remember? Now look here.  Yes, sir. Well, I remember now. He was six feet tall. He had red hair. And he was carrying a gun. He had a handkerchief over the lower part. And that's what happened. That was an eyewitness account of a bank robbery from the man who did it. Here I walked into the bank, robbed him of $50,000. Didn't even know I was doing it. And nobody recognized me. He didn't know my face. You know, I bet I could walk into another bank and do the same thing. Yeah, I better not. Suspense, presented by AutoLite. Tonight's star, Mr. Jack Benny.

You can do like 20, 30, 40, 50, you'll definitely feel the burn. Exercises for flat stomach burpees.   Four sets of 25 and then you'll be puffed. Good core workout.  So you bring the feet up off the floor, make sure you're opening across the chest and the core is engaged. You're simply going to tap your ankles and then extend all the way out into a disc shape and then come back up and tap the ankles. Now that might look a little bit too far for you but start in this position and just take it as far as you can to start with and eventually you'll get further and further until you're all the way out into that dish. Obviously really good not just for course stability but for kind of improving all areas of your abdominal muscles and just give your hip flexors and give your back also. And I kind of say maybe do three rounds but probably only for 30 seconds of each round. Have a little rest in between because they're quite hard. One of my favourite core exercises for strengthening abs is a lying leg raise or knee raise. You can either do this exercise with your knees or with your legs. So lay down flat, place your hands just at the top of your butt to support your lower back, arms down to the floor and we're going to bring our knees in towards the chest then extend the legs back out again.  The harder version you can either bring your legs up and towards your forehead. Really harder. This exercise is really great for developing strength in the lower abdominals and if you can do three sets of 10 to 15 reps three times a week you'll develop a very strong midsection. Biscule kicks is another one of my favourites. Lying your back, lifting one leg up and alternate trying to keep your shoulders up off the floor and touching your elbows to these 20 or 30 to these and just keeping your core tight the whole time. Do 20 to 30 repetitions, alternating each side and then have a little rest, try and do that five even to ten times and your abs will be burning on fire.  A really good ab one that gets forgotten because people do normal sit ups is to do a full sit up but with the soles of your feet placed together and your knees out to the side and you kind of disable your hip flexor in a way and that isn't there to help pull you up. So you're using less of your hip flexors and it takes more abdominal strength. I can't do as many as you can as a finisher I would say.


Hey everyone today. I want to talk about Oh, what I feel Nintendo could do to make the Nintendo switch online app the perfect Version of itself or as close to perfection as it can possibly become because I do think With some work and with some additional features The Nintendo switch online app could actually be quite brilliant and I know that sounds weird coming from my mouth In fact, I've produced two videos recently and probably five or six videos total talking about the app and my worries about it and my fears and how my fears were realized and How critical I am and how I want people to go to the feedback section on the app itself and give Nintendo some constructive criticism to them so they can you know fix the app, but I I Want to take an approach here Where the app becomes something I actually look forward to using on a daily basis and Hopefully my ideas for this app will make you guys want to use it on a daily basis as well Now I should note that in talking about the way that this app can perfect itself It's not going to be able to do something like suddenly run on the switch itself We're gonna forget about it running natively on the switch We're gonna forget about native voice chat on the switch I feel like that boat has sailed and if you actually look at the design of the switch hardware It kind of seems like it leans towards the idea that they never intended for voice chat to be native So we're just gonna allow that boat to sail off into the sunset and it's just something I'm gonna have to accept Even if I think there has to be a better way to splice audio together. So let's just hop right into The apps itself and what I like about it because I spent a lot of time criticizing it But let's look at the things I like I have mentioned briefly in the past of the companion aspects of the app are brilliant But I know that's kind of where I left it I didn't really dive deep into it well now that I have the app and I've used it myself And I've been using it with Splatoon 2 and I've thoroughly have enjoyed using the splat net 2 portion of the app I wanted to Explain where I think the app has gone, right one I like the idea that there are sub apps within the main application a lot of games release their own companion apps and that's great, but at one point on my phone between my Xbox one PlayStation 4 Or PlayStation 4 I hope to have I don't have it yet PC and all the stuff all the various games I've played at one point on my phone I had something like 40 or 50 different companion apps for different games And it's not that I'm upset that I have that many companion apps It means hey I'm playing a wide variety of games But it takes up a lot of space on my phone and I know you can organize it in the folders But it's really nice for a single platform to have those companion apps for the games on that platform under a single application and we'll see long haul If the size of the app is going to significantly increase or if this is all just going to be like a gateway to an online Server whatever the case may be I really like the idea of sub apps within a main app for a single platform I think that's just a smart idea And then it's something I think Nintendo can actually expand on so one thing I would like to see them do with this application is allow third parties and allow indie developers to also release companion sub apps on the Nintendo switch online app now I don't know if they have plans for this I don't know if they're going to allow this but I would like to see them happen and then obviously when you first get in You should be able to tab between you know first-party games or Nintendo games or Nintendo publish games and third-party games and indies However, they want to organize it. I feel like that is an opportunity That should exist for other people who want to you know have games in the Nintendo switch that way I don't have to have 50 different apps for 50 different games on the Nintendo switch I could have said one app that has all the sub applications underneath the layers Plus then it also means you will be allowing third parties and indie developers to use the other features of the Nintendo switch online app Which starting at some point next year people are going to be paying for so again If you're going to have a paid online system You might as well allow third parties and any developers to take full advantage of the system that you have in place now Splat net 2 obviously the way that it works is not necessarily the way that every single sub app is going to work because the Sub apps are going to be catered to the games there on but there are a lot of things I like in it that I think Nintendo can already look into expanding for even games that are already on the switch And I'm not just talking about our arms and Mario Kart 8 and snipper clips I'm talking about even non multiplayer games like Breath of the Wild could actually benefit from this companion app idea so in the sub app of Splatoon 2 you can order gear which That initially I thought I was gonna be bothered by the fact that there was exclusive gear on the app But then after exploring the gear and exploring the stuffing game and and taking a close look at it There doesn't appear to be any competitive advantages to the gear You can get off of the splat net to sub application and the gear that you could just get through playing the game normally So when you consider that I'm not actually that upset about it. It's all about style It's all about what you want to look and anyways as somebody else ordered and brought the gear in and they appear in Your game you can order it off their body anyways So you don't really even have to use the app to potentially get the gear that's in the application itself It's actually a really cool system in Splatoon 2 where you can you know order gear that other players have the game is definitely not Trying to prevent you from having gear So I really like that it just gives you a quick easy convenient way to do that especially when you're not at home You know, I bought a pair of really what I think are some really kick-ass sandals That some white. I mean they're super fly in my opinion That my character wears and I think I have a hat coming right now. No headphones. I got some headphones There I like them. I think it feels like it's something I wear. I wear sandals on a daily basis I wear headphones on a daily basis. It just kind of feels like an embodiment of me But again, you know personal preferences here So I really like that you can order the gear and that is not overpowered and it fits right in with the game And it's just something for me to do when I might not have Splatoon 2 or my switch with me I would like them to allow me to order more than one piece of gear at a time However, because then it does feel like it's something that I need to have my switch with me so I can continue to order gear I think they should let you order one gear per set or one piece of gear per set So one headpiece one pair of shoes and one shirt. I think that's a limitation That's fine So you can't just order an unlimited number of things because that kind of defeats the purpose of Rotating items and and all that stuff, but I think that's really good What I also thinks good is that it tracks your stats from like your most recent matches, which is great You can go quickly look at oh, how how How many matches that I recently win was it ranked was it not ranked was it in? You know different forms of the game. I'm trying to turn a salmon run That's what I'm thinking of is it what how to perform with salmon run? You can see your score how many people you splattered etc You can look at replays quote-unquote replays Of your last match, which it really really neat stuff And of course it gives you some fun and silly stats like if you convert how much paint you have spread in the world This will tune to to how much area in the actual world you would be covering with that same paint It gives you like monuments and landmarks that you have Covered and then it actually tells you what the next landmark is for you and how much more paint you need to splat around to To cover that type of monument in the real world It's a completely useless thing, but it's just really fun And this is where I feel like a breath of the wild sub app that actually fit right in Where you could have a bunch of useless information that on its own doesn't really make the game better But it makes the application and it makes the idea of a companion app a little more entertaining to me You know things like how many times have I died with some most common enemy type that I have faced What boss do I happen to play against the most? What's the largest amount of damage my character has ever taken You know, what's my favorite type of weapon, you know between one-handers and two-handers and you know And even maybe a way to organize that We're like if you eliminate the master sword because the master sword has that advantage of of you know Doesn't permanently break, you know, it was my favorite item type is a one-handers two-handers boomerangs Bo blah blah blah blah blah Just a bunch of statistics and stats that really don't amount to Mattering it and at the end of the end of the day, but it's just really entertaining to look at and it's it's something That you know if I'm on the pot or if I'm you know at work and I work from home So obviously I don't necessarily need this kind of kind of thing for at home But just in general, you know, I'm on a drive. I'm out with my kids or I'm watching about the pool quick And I just want to glance at my phone instead of checking face But when we check the companion app quick and see just some random stats from breath for a while It can make for some fun conversation points with my friends just just some ideas out there and In general, I like this stuff that this flatnet 2 is doing and I would like to see them expand this again Into all Nintendo games and hopefully third-party games and indies Nintendo allows them to get on it too because I like the sub app within a main app That gives you a bunch of information and some things that can affect the game And some things that don't really affect the game at all and things that affect the game Don't actually break the game like you don't feel like you're missing out without having it But it's still fun to have it It's not like amiibo's where I feel like one thing they have done with amiibo And it's something I was always scared of that they were gonna lock content behind amiibo that you couldn't otherwise enjoy or could make a significant impact in the game and Outside of skins I feel like there are there have been times where there has been like pieces of content locked behind amiibo That I don't agree with and I don't feel like there's anything locked behind SWATnet here because you can go into Splatoon and get these items off of other characters So it's not like it's impossible to get it within the game itself as it stands today now Moving beyond all that because I think that's fantastic I've obviously had some well-voiced criticism of the app And it's mostly to do with voice chat and the fact that right now to use voice chat It hijacks your phone. You cannot do anything else on your phone. You can't check notifications You can't check text messages. You can't even let your phone fall asleep you have to go change a setting on your phone to keep it all awake and Obviously this causes several issues, you know with the fact that no app should ever hijack your phone entirely to use and On top of that Just the idea that you can't put it to sleep I when I did my own battery test within 35 minutes I lost 50% battery starting at 100% with no other applications open and my phone on low Light like this is just mind-boggling to me that I can't put it in idle and continue to chat with my friends and You know check a text message while continuing to chat with my friends try to look up an online strategy on you know Google and not be able to keep talking to my friends There's obviously some also some limitations with communications with friends that that I don't like right now that I assume Will be addressed like the fact that you can only chat with them when you're in the lobby before the start of a game You can't chat with them outside of the game. There's no cross game chat There's no way for me to directly message either voice You know leave a voicemail for someone or text them which I feel is really weird on a smart device If you're gonna have all of the online communication aspects of voice chat and everything happen on a smart device Then you should be able to take advantage of that smart device like texting is highly popular It's not going anywhere and then when you have a smart device right in front of you It just makes sense to be able to direct message people maybe even have chats Allah discord or whatever With people through the app. I shouldn't have to use other means of communication to do that Especially since a lot of people that I have friends that I have friended on my switch. I don't have their phone numbers I don't have their Facebook contact information. I honestly don't really have any other way to contact these people But through the Nintendo's network So I mean you could argue if you truly matter to me I have your contact information, but it shouldn't be that complicated for me to send out a message to a bunch of people who I Affriended me like hey, I want to get together Mario Kart 8 tournament this weekend. Let's do it So just just throwing that out there as some functionality that is missing and when you consider all those issues I feel like they're all addressable. I feel like Nintendo might have messaging planned for the future they might have cross game chat and Lobbies that you can make within the app as long as people are logged into their Nintendo account But not necessarily have to be in a lobby to play a game just like a general lobby like discord and ventrilo You know and all those other voice apps even Skype like just how it works I feel like Nintendo can do this and I feel like they might be of doing that in 2018 But they need to address all the voice chat issues I've had so in my world The perfect app would allow all those companion apps with all that neat stuff that some some bits useful in game Some of it's just pointless, but it's entertaining And then on top of that they would take all the issues that I currently have a voice chat and eliminate them Now the one aspect I haven't talked about yet and it's the one thing that's bothered me the most about voice chat because of the way I prefer to enjoy voice chat and Game audio is I prefer to have them come through the same pair of headphones now There are multiple reasons for this for starters I do stream games online and right now what actually kind of sucks is that when I'm listening to the game audio Coming through my TV. I can't actually also listen to notifications on my PC at the same time So when you guys are subscribing when you guys are doing this stuff and I'm getting all the dings and everything I can't actually hear that and it sucks and it's even worse when I'm using the voice chat on the phone Because I can't just have the game volume come from the TV because it might reverberate back into the microphone Creating a really poor streaming experience now obviously this is just coming from a streamer's perspective But let me just look at this from just a pure gamer's perspective forget first world problems with live streams and all that stuff Just from a video game perspective and from my personal preference. I've been playing multiplayer online games for a long time I was playing Age of Empires online over dial-up internet way back in the 90s on MSN gaming zone I was you know there for Halo 1 on Xbox You know I even attempted to play fantasy star online on the GameCube back in the day I've been dealing with this online communications or lack of communication and Voice chat and typing chat and all the stuff forever and there's multiple ways to do it and on a PC It's obviously a little easier to type out stuff You know with a hotkey then you know while also voice chatting kind of depends on the situation But personally I've always preferred game audio and voice chat to come through the same headset And this actually started from me back in 2004 with World of Warcraft when I was using ventrilo servers Or I think it was TeamSpeak back then we were using I liked the idea of having the game audio and the You know the voice chat coming through my one headset that way I didn't have to worry about feedback that that was always something that bothered me with people who would say Have their voice chat come through their headset But then they have their game audio coming from their speakers on their computer and you can hear that game audio reverberating back through The headset or through through their microphone, so it would like really distort a lot of things coming from that person Or off the other hand if they have the game audio coming through the headphones and they have the voice chat coming through the speakers You can hear other people talking to create this big echo effect And it's not good and you can hear this on consoles today when I game on Xbox There are times when I'm playing Madden especially then I know people are using their connect and their speakers from their TV to use Their voice chat and you could tell because there's a lot of feedback now. Is it as bad as it possibly could be no But it's not good. It sounds distorted Nothing sounds good And then you have even when people use the single earpiece headphones with one ear for the voice chat and then you listen to the TV There are times not all the time but there are times depending on the volume of their TV I can hear the feedback from their game through their microphone That I sometimes confuse with the audio from my game and it just creates a Not good experience for gaming. It's not ideal and I'm not saying you're someone that can't enjoy Voice chat in that way. There are obviously millions of people that are just fine voice chatting that way And so my issues with the game audio splicing from the switch to the phone And back into your head your headset is not something that a lot of you are going to necessarily find as a problem Because you already only listen to your game audio from your TV or from the switch locally anyways But for me, I prefer to be able to have all of it come through one headset and on Xbox one They let me do that on PlayStation 4. They let me do that on PC I've been doing that since at least 2004 So it's probably impossible way before that because you're basically just having a sort of all the audio going through your speakers coming through Headphones. It's not that hard But Nintendo lets me do it, but they let me do it in a very Overcomplicated way. So one thing I would like to see in my perfect Nintendo switch online app Is that Nintendo just gives me the option to do it the way I want which is essentially they allow the Bluetooth from Or even Wi-Fi, but they prefer the Bluetooth because it's a stronger connection between devices I would prefer they allow the Bluetooth that does exist There is a Bluetooth chip inside the Nintendo switch I would love to see it if I have Bluetooth on on my phone Be able to directly communicate to my phone to my Nintendo switch app to send the audio signal there So I could just plug my headset into my phone and get the full audio experience And then on top of that and they need to have this in the app anyways This is another improvement for which they need to let me adjust Individual people and individual volume levels for game audio and then people chatting on there So I can adjust the levels to what I would like maybe even an option for when someone else is talking to me reduce My game audio by 80% or whatever the case may be and then when they stop talking bring my audio levels back up You know in a gradual fashion that doesn't blow my ears up You know and there's other things they need to improve voice chat too. You can't mute individual people You can only mute everyone you can't Increase the volume or decrease the volume on people which if you know from voice chat You need to do that sometimes because there's different some people talk louder Some people have different quality microphones some people just They just in general to create chaos and you would like to just mute them temporarily even if it's just a friend It's kind of this crazy situation where the option for all the stuff should just be there And I'm not saying that that should be the standard way that everything is set up like out of the box It's not how it needs to be but the option to do it without a lot of hassle should be there and it's not so in my ideal world Everyone's happy. No one's left out in how they want to voice chat and no one's left out You can argue I'm not even left out But I feel like I am overburdened to get voice chat the way I am when it doesn't have to be that way and they're a simpler way already exists and Nintendo can do it so They fix all this stuff. They bring it together. They give me those sub apps. They have that perfect voice chat capabilities they allow direct messages and text messages and allow individual Adjustments of all the different fine-tuned features of voice chat Then I think we have an app that I am proud to use and I know that's a lot of changes. It's a lot of additions but It's also there. I feel like What we got to today, right? We can use right now. It's kind of that tip of the iceberg moment It's where yes, it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth But it's not leaving one that can't be quickly remedied by something better So I know a lot of people a lot of people felt like I've been overreacting about this whole thing But voice chat really really does matter to me I am that passionate about it because I am someone that does frequently use voice chat and I know we can use discord I know we can use other applications But I've always preferred to use the application that's most convenient for the system I am on for a PC discord is most convenient for my Xbox Xbox live is most convenient So for switch shouldn't the Nintendo switch online app be most convenient since I'm already accessing it for other reasons Just my humble opinion and obviously in all of this They can include surveys and bonuses and ways for you to do little little things within the app itself to you know Gain coins for my Nintendo to allow you to get more digital goodness And if I'm honest my Nintendo itself should be fully integrated into the app as well So we don't have to go to our computers to go manage my Nintendo properly I know we can do it through the web browser what we can't use the app and do it through the web browser at the same time if we want to voice chat so Just throwing that out there. I'm very pleased with The way the app is set up with the sub apps I just see there's still a long ways to go and hopefully by 2018 my dreams come true And this is the perfect Nintendo switch app for me If you have your own ideas for the Nintendo switch online app Let me know down in the comments below if you completely disagree with me and feel like all my ideas for the app are terrible That is okay Tell me what you would do differently or if you would not do anything definitely tell me why the app is perfect for you right now As always I am Nathaniel Ruffeljantz from Nintendo Prime if you liked this video You know what to do if you dislike it hit that dislike button Otherwise, I will see you guys in the next one


The Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Taiwan Technical Mission, placed the limelight on the need for the incorporation of locally grown foods into our diet through an eggplant exposition. The eggplant culinary experience intended to encourage a conscious shift in consumption habits and behaviour toward the use of the eggplant as students from the Stanley John Odler Memorial Secondary School, Castres Comprehensive Secondary School, and Upton Garden Girls Center showcased different ways in which the crop can be incorporated into daily meals. Dishes on display included cheesy eggplant, eggplant bread, candied eggplant, and hotel-style eggplant, which whilst appetizing can also give a decent supply of potassium and fiber. Ambassador of the Republic of China Taiwan to St. Lu Xia, His Excellency Peter Chien-Chien, incommending the students on their creativity and innovation in designing eggplant recipes, says his government and people have taken note of youth interest in various aspects of the agri-food industry and as such will remain steadfast in working with the Agriculture Ministry to promote capacity-building in St. Lu Xia's agriculture sector to improve livelihoods and enhance food security. The eggplant is one of my favourite vegetable, but today it's really beyond my expectation. I didn't know that you can use eggplant to make so many different kinds of food, no matter like ordinary dishes or even candy. I never imagined that you can use eggplant to make candy, so that's really amazing. And today we also see a lot of talented young people and as I say there's a lot of talented people in St. Lu Xia. That's why my embassy and my government work with the government of St. Lu Xia trying to build up and promote human or people's capacity in St. Lu Xia, no matter our agriculture project, our education project, or our other project. The focus is people. Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development, Honourable Alfred Prosper, in highlighting that the rising costs of food imports and products and availability remain a challenge for St. Lu Xia, notes that efforts like the eggplant culinary experience are strategic actions aimed at boosting awareness of the necessity of purchasing locally in order to strengthen St. Lu Xia's food security. Our food import bill continues to rise because we are not giving enough attention to the things that we grow in St. Lu Xia. And as a ministry, we must take that bold step to make it happen. Eggplant, just imagine, people did not, I didn't really see the demand for eggplant many years ago as a farmer. I don't grow eggplant because I don't see the demand for it in the market, but I just heard earlier this morning that there is an increasing demand for it. And what a time now for us to use our eggplant and convert it into our processing and products that we can see on our market shelves. The opportunity that creates for our single mothers, our unemployed mothers, where they can actually go into the production of those products using eggplant. Eggplant can grow very well in St. Lu Xia, so why not tap into this and take this to the next level? Minister Prosper says that measures to improve the quality of items produced on the island form part of a suit of interventions by the agriculture ministry to improve and sustain agri-food livelihoods and help augment nutrition and food security efforts in St. Lu Xia.
