And one last point on that upper and the fit of the shoe. I actually, I went true to size. I'm almost wishing I would. Oh yeah, onward and upward, drinking my emergency. Just took some medicine, I feel so much better. It's gonna allow me to talk with all of you today about some running shoe reviews and we've got a lot to cover, so let's dive in. Hope you're doing well. All studio today, I did get my run in but I didn't feel like filming just cause I'm under the weather and so no outside filming we're gonna get you some good info on these three shoes. The, here they are, the Hoka Speed Go 4, the Nike React Infinity Run, Flynit and the Asics Gel Nimbus Lite. They're all right there. But first, shout out to the New York City Marathon. Let us know down in the comments. Today was the day when you find out if you were accepted. I realize it's a crazy lottery system. It's really difficult to get into. Did you get that email from the New York City Marathon? Let us know down in the comments. I hope many of you did. And yes, we'll do a group run before the New York City Marathon. I got in, so it's exciting. And oh yeah, I did. We were talking back and forth on Twitter with a couple people about the price of the New York City Marathon. I realized it's so expensive. I think it's 290-ish for US residents and then it's even more for international. I suspect one of the reasons just whoever was talking on Twitter about this is because of the security. I'm guessing the New York Roadrunners has to pay the NYPD to keep the place safe. I don't know, maybe not. Maybe they just do it. But anyway, it's like security. I'm sure it's not cheap for the New York Roadrunners, but I know. So I hope, anyway, I hope you got in. And yes, here we go. Here's the shoes right here. And I'm also going to compare the Speed Goat 4 to the EVO Speed Goat, all right? So there's the EVO Speed Goat on top. Oh yeah, last but not least, before we dive into the Speed Goat 4, first is that I'm reading your comments. Thank you for chiming into the question of the day. Two days ago, I think, about what did you think of the A6 Glide Ride full review video? Did you like the new style? And a lot of good, some people love the style. Some people love more the riffing here in the studio where I'm just talking. So that's what we're doing today, obviously, is riffing and just talking and not scripted out at all. So thank you again for chiming in. But there was one comment that I'm just gonna address because I could see why this could come up if somebody was concerned that I'm wasting running shoes because I run in so many running shoes. And I get it, there are, and I don't take shoes to 200, I don't even take shoes to 200 miles. Like I'm just being very frank with you. And most shoes should get at least 300, 400 miles out of the shoe. Why? Because there's a lot of running shoes to test. But just so you know for the people concerned is that I haven't thrown away. I was trying to think inside, I haven't thrown away a pair of running shoes in I believe three years. I'm even trying to remember which one it was. Where like the shoe was just totally dead and shot and there's holes in the upper. So what do I do? I either donate them at the local running store or we do, I'm pointing up here because we have all the running shoes that you have donated for the running shoe giveaway. So I never throw away these running shoes and I either keep them for comparisons for the iteration of shoes for like 2019 to 2020. For example, I will keep the Speed Goat 4 so I can compare it to the 2020 iteration. And so yeah, just wanted to clear the air there. I'm not trying to waste shoes because I will either donate them or use them for the vlog. And so the game plan for today, this is, we've never done this before on the channel. Why am I doing three shoes in one video? I'm busy. I'm behind and I don't wanna do this all the time but I need to catch up. And so many people are asking for my full review of the Nike React Infinity Run Flying It. And I just, especially with baby Henry and then going to Atlanta on Friday. Like if I don't do it now, all three in one video, it could be another two, three, four weeks before I get to it. So that's not acceptable. We're gonna dive into it right now. All right, Hoka Speed Goat 4. We've got a four millimeter drop from heel to toe, 32 millimeter stack height in heel, 28 millimeter stack height in the forefoot. And we're looking at 10.8 ounces and men size nine.  Cause those weights, let me just hear one second. It really helps me to know my weight. Whoa, 10.9 ounces in my size. I don't know if that's right cause I'm a smaller than a size nine. So anyway, it is a little bit heavier, especially compared to the EVO speed goat. Let's put that on the scale in my size. Oh, 8.4 ounces. So over two ounces lighter. I'll come back to this shoe in a minute. And yes, I did go true to size on the Hoka Speed Goat 4. One point is that when you're running out on the trails in this, oh, I should mention this is a neutral trail shoe. Okay, there's that twist test. When you're running out on the trails in the deadest, you know, the heat of summer, like your feet get hot and there's dust. And it's just, it's just really a, you know, especially here in the West, like we get a lot of dust cause we don't get as much moisture as other locations in the country. And so I'm really enjoying the breathability which was increased and bumped up from the Speed Goat 3 through the tow box. I noticed it immediately, especially during these colder months. So I like that work that Hoka put into the breathability through the upper. It is not, oh wait, yes. It is a gusseted tongue, all right, gusseted tongue, which you know how much I love those gusseted tongues. And the EVO Speed Goat is as well. Let me just, yeah, it is as well. I just love that lockdown feel with the gusseted tongue, which means the tongue is connected to the outer wall of the upper. A little bit of overlay action I could foresee. Now listen, I tested the shoe in December and January and so the snow and ice was not, if I, it was, well, it was frozen. So I was not running through mud and through puddles that much. So I would be curious to see how the overlays would do in a more, you know, running through streams or running through puddles or just like spring and summertime conditions for that upper. And onto that outsole and then I'm gonna come back to the midsole is that I really, really like the tread pattern that Hoka has put into the Speed Goat 4. I got incredible grip out there. Again, through the dirt, through the ice, through the snow, and it's some vibrum, so that means the type of rubber is a little more stickier and tackier.  So anyway, I really love the outsole on the Hoka Speed Goat 4. And onto that midsole, amazing. Absolutely amazing. Springy is the word that comes to mind. It's got a nice energy return. And 32 and 28, so it's not crazy high. I wouldn't put it in the maximalist category. It's more that medium to high, probably more in the high category for a stack height in the shoe. Oh, if I was racing a 50K in 2020, there's a good chance I would consider this shoe or definitely for a 50 miler. And let's just jump into it right now. Who is this shoe best for? I'm gonna say people that are training for longer trail races and want a little more protection and absorbing of that pounding through your gate cycle. All right, I just, I love, love, love the midsole on the Speed Goat 4, all right, price $145. And compared to that EVO Speed Goat, we're looking at $160, all right? I'm gonna say everyone, $15, I would lean toward buying the EVO Speed Goat over the Speed Goat 4 even for training. I think you could train in the EVO Speed Goat and yes, this is the racing version of the Speed Goat lineup from Hoka. I think it's worth it if you are, you know, two ounces, like that's quite a bit of weight difference. All right, there you go. Those are my thoughts on the Speed Goat 4. I love this shoe, love this shoe, love this shoe. And I wish it was trail running season right now because I would probably pick up a second pair. And you know what that means for me. Or I would either pick up another pair of the EVO Speed Goat or the Speed Goat 4, either one, again though, if you can afford a little bit more money, $15, I'd lean toward the EVO Speed Goat for that weight reduction. And moving on to that A6 Gel Nimbus Light. There it is over there. And let's put it on the scale right now. So 8.8 ounces, all right? That's a good weight. In men's size nine, we're looking at 9.6 ounces. It's a 10 millimeter drop. It in my first impression of this shoe that had me a little concerned because usually I like a lower drop for daily training shoes, but it turned out to be not an issue at all. So 36 millimeter stack height in the heel, 26 millimeter in the forefoot, a nice plush, not plush, well cushioned ride for that daily training in urban environments. I should say it's a neutral road running shoe, quite a bit of twist action actually through that midsole. So it is, if you need any sort of stability at all in your shoe, this is not the shoe for you. And let's see, oh yeah, it's a flight foam midsole, which I think A6 is gonna continue to put more flight foam midsole into other shoes that they have out there on the marketplace. For that upper, I will say the toe box was a little roomy. And I actually kind of liked it for that, you know, just getting those miles in, my toes did not feel scrunched at all through the toe box, which I liked a lot. I appreciated that. And moving on to the outsole, it's the A6 high abrasion rubber. And I actually mentioned this in the first impression. It makes me really worried and scared when I see this much rubber on the outsole of a shoe. Cause a lot of times what happens, what I have found is that it means the landing is gonna be too firm through the foot strike. It's just gonna be too, yeah, too firm. So, but somehow A6 has created this high abrasion rubber that has some forgiveness to it. And if you press on it, it's not hard at all, which tells me for the life expectancy of the shoe, I'm thinking at least 500 miles out of the A6 gel nimbus light easily. So, I really like what they're doing there on the outsole. Good work A6, absolutely. And I'm gonna say that the gel nimbus light is the definition of a daily trainer. It's not an easy day shoe. I think you can go a little faster in the shoe if you want. I'm gonna say like that eight to 12 mile range, those runs that are eight to 12 miles. So not a middle distance or long run shoe, but just getting the miles in, I really like it. And yeah, you can wear it of course on easy days, but I'm not quite gonna put it into that easy day category. I just think it has a little more potential than an easy day shoe. For that price point, $150. For that price point, we're looking at $150. If the outsole stands the test of time that let's say 500 plus miles through your running, I think that it's worth it at $150. I'd rather see it at that 135 or 130 mark. But who knows, maybe again, they're expecting the shoe to go the distance for the runners out there. And I forgot to mention for the Speed Goat 4, $145, I would absolutely pay that again for the Speed Goat 4. And who is this shoe best for? Again, I think a runner that is looking for your urban environment, a shoe that's gonna last. So you don't have to buy shoes every three months. I think you could go four or five months, depending on your volume and get a lot of miles out of the shoe. Oh yeah, and someone that is looking for a wider toe box, I just, I had a nice roomy feel through that toe box and I went true to size in my sizing. So that is my full review of the A6 Gel Nimbus Light, trying to keep it concise here, but I really like it. Like I'm, I don't know if I'd buy it again this year, like the same shoe, I'd probably wait till next year's iteration. But again, daily trainer right here, bottom my brand. Did I mention, I've put 52 miles into the Gel Nimbus Light. All right, just wanna mention that. Okay, moving on to that Nike React Infinity Run, flying it. Okay, I have nine millimeter drop, so one millimeter less than the Gel Nimbus Light. Also as far as weight goes, oh yeah, 33 millimeter stack out of the heel, 24 in the forefoot. So plenty of good React foam protection for your legs in this shoe. And in my size, 8.75. So almost identical to the Gel Nimbus Light. And it is definitely a neutral road running shoe there. Look at how twisty it goes there. But they did add this kind of like a stabilizer bar through the heel counter just to give a little more rigidity to that heel counter. I'm not sure it's completely necessary. I mean, I actually, I'm tempted to just rip it off just to see like what the shoe would feel like without that plastic bar wrapping, it's this gray bar wrapping around the heel. So here's the deal on the upper, on the flying it. It is a new updated technology from Nike, this flying it upper, and it was great. Like it was breathable. I think it's gonna have some pretty good. Although you know what, I am seeing a little bit of fraying and I've only put, did I say this already? 59, 59 miles in the shoe. I'm seeing just a little bit of fraying through the toe box, nothing major. So I'd be curious to see after 200, 300, 400 miles what that upper would look like. My main concern and I'm gonna stick with it is that I never was able to get an amazing lockdown through the collar of the shoe. It's that booty style collar, so very nimble, flexible. I prefer a collar that has a little more rigidity to it and there is no extra hole for the runner's knot, which lends me to say that, oh yeah, I'll come back to that, the outsole, which I do believe that this is definitely an easy day shoe.  I'm sure some people will take it to higher speeds. I just, I prefer more lockdown in my shoes if I'm gonna go, let's say, 730 pace or seven minute pace. And one last point on that upper and the fit of the shoe. I actually, I went true to size. I'm almost wishing I would have gone a half size down just to see if that would have helped lock the shoe over my foot a little better. But, you know, water under the bridge, I don't think I'll buy another pair and try it out at a lower size. For the midsole, I love the midsole, very comfortable and the outsole, it's a wide landing platform. So if you want a shoe that has nice land, like you're not feeling unstable through the foot strike, I'd say this is the shoe for you. I really like the ride, I really do. The main issue for me is the upper and specifically the collar. Some people love that booty style collar, but I just don't, I don't love it. And onto that price point, $160. Oh no, I don't know Nike, like, that's just too much. Like maybe they're thinking this, this is, if anyone is using this shoe for faster speeds, let me know down in the comments. I feel like Jordan out there might be one guy who's using, I just don't see it. And maybe people are, but for an easy day shoe, I don't want to pay any more than 130 bucks, maybe 135 bucks, so, but again, maybe some people are using it for higher speeds. I am not one of those people. So how will I use this shoe moving forward? Easy day. And who is this shoe best for? I'm gonna say personally, if I'm jogging to the gym, do my workout in the gym and then jog home. That's how I would use the Nike React Infinity Run Flyin' It. Okay, we did it. The Hoka Speed Go For, I just said it, the React Infinity Run Flyin' It and the A6 Gel Nimbus Lite. I would say if I only had, well, if I had a $160 to spend, I would probably spend it on, well, okay, that's a trail shoe, but I'd probably go with the Gel Nimbus Lite over the React, yeah, the React Infinity Run Flyin' It. Okay everyone, thanks for being here. Question of the day, what shoe would you like me to test next, all right? And you let me know down in the comments, I should probably start a poll somewhere. Maybe on the Facebook group, I'll start a poll and then I will buy that shoe, all right? And if it's not on the marketplace yet, maybe it's a shoe that is coming in the next month or so and I'll buy it and I'll test it out for all of you. Does that sound good? We'll make that happen down in the comments and also over on Facebook. Thanks for being here. We're gonna survive. Oh, I'm feeling so much better after taking that medicine once again. All right everyone, you guys rock. Oh yeah, we're gonna toss it back. All right here to the running shoe playlist, full review right there. So there's a lot of shoes that I've done full reviews on.

We are heading out to correctional hostility, holding three people who are serving life sentences. They are serving sentences for their participation to various degrees in the killing of a woman with albinism here in South Africa. Ordinary people can fall prey to lies and falsehoods and myths about people with albinism. I'll be honest, it's always a little bit uncomfortable when I do the handshake. When I touch the same hands that cut off someone else with albinism, in this case a woman in particular. There's always that Shiva down my spine when I shake hands.


I'm very sorry Who's David's game Davis Gaines is an LA theater legend and I saw Phantom of the Opera For the first time with him as the Phantom and it is one of the most Profoundly moving experiences. I've ever had watching an actor. Oh Sorry, were you saying something today? We're watching another pretentious movie review. Yay We saw one before if you haven't seen that reaction go watch that it was to the most sexual film of all time I forget the name of it. Yeah, but we loved it great. I know all I took away from that was the beautiful pain This is called most acting ever. Yes I Like who's your favorite actor? Well, I like so-and-so because they give me the most acting ever Mean you're never gonna get more acting from them. I think Rithik's in this Poor Rithik main Prem Kee Dawani Hoon. I know that title Yeah, I think I unless I'm wrong. I think I remember that it's this is a Rithik film. Oh, no They might be ripping on Rithik. No Oh, we love Rithik. All right, here we go It's kind of like the razzies, right? If you're wondering whether or not to watch this review this happens There's more acting for unit area in this movie than per unit area in your life Wow So he made sure people would know exactly what was happening by filming exactly For example on the last day of college If you're a friend forever If you're 40 and if you're a dad You're not dead To where that gap Let's jump into the trailer with his son-in-law Which we understand she and her group of insane co-op top Barbie dolls. I guess a concept of arranged management in a very good Until one day her sister from America also, and she's like enter frame Do that do not for a big child To negative mega positive and two positives make it rain They fall in love in an insane way His underwear But it turns out that's the wrong thing Rithik Rajan was Prem Kishan She was supposed to marry Prem And the object person a.k.a He's single-handedly brings down the entire energy level of the movie Let's get up to you That's our mistake The movie said about her choice of being Prem I had to bring out I was like, it's any excuse for Rithik Rajan to take his shirt off I mean like do we got it you have muscles Like if you go to the gym you don't need to show if you have muscles Just for no reason There's no you don't have to do that here You don't have to do that This next scene is our favorite scene in the movie Here is the Kareena Kapoor's mom is sent to Prem's room to leave the direction And Kareena didn't mention it because he has money and his name is Prem Kareena Kapoor's mom is a very practical woman She says Experience the beautiful pain You understand this is the perfect reasoning for anything Like if you have a problem in life Analyze it Have you had sex with this problem in 9 years? So what's the problem? You guys see it? Yeah Yeah?  So what's the problem?  So what's the problem? If a tree falls in the forest and no one's around to cut it So what's the problem? If life gives you lemon So what's the problem? And after a day So what's the problem? To be or not to be That's the problem This X square plus 2 equals Y It's all for X What's the solution? Also for no reason There is a CGI parent in the movie No reason, no reason I don't think they have anything to do with it I know the creators of this movie So they were like I have to do something like this now So what's the problem? You are my mom More than a parent There's also like a CGI dog I think they did that because they already hired the CGI guy So now they are going to hire the CGI guy So they are going to hire the CGI guy We have best laughs Best insults Shut up And best flying dad I don't know The plan was actually pretty entertaining But in fact the actors were acting The director over directed The screenwriter opens the screen road And the women have over it So what's the problem? So what's the problem? So what's the problem? Will this be a porn or an action movie? So let's see Hi, Aunty She isn't your normal Aunty She's the real Aunty in this movie She has her own style She needs to make you feel Like aunty, you must be beautiful Have a nice time High Aunty More High Aunty High Aunty Hi, Aunty Hi, Aunty Positive Hi, Aunty Hi, Aunty Is this the video you are doing? Thank you for subbing, Tanmay. Oh, that was so uncomfortable. Thank you for never making me watch this film.  Thank you for all the stuff you've had us avoid. I think if I started that and I saw what it was, I would never, I would turn it off. If we had seen that, instead of Gully Boy, we'd never had a channel. No. Absolutely. Absolutely. Oh, Rithik, what did they do to you? I guarantee. He looks back on that and goes, oh, don't even talk to me about that. Is Rithik Nawaz? No. Rithik is not Nawaz. But we've seen him do good acting. Yes. He's done good acting. Yeah. That's exactly right. Like we've seen him in Super 30. Did a good job. Yep. We've seen him in... Say the next one. What was the... Gersnatch. Gersnatch. Deborah. He was solid in Deborah. Yeah. And we've seen another one that he did well in. What was it? Joda Aqua. No. No. I think there was another one that we saw and we were like, he did a good job. I can't remember what it was, though. Oh, he did a good job. Even though the film was crazy. War. Oh yeah. We enjoyed war. Yeah. He did a good job. It's not a film. It's a movie. No. Yeah. But nothing like that. Nothing like that. That is the essence of what people think of when they think of Bollywood. You know what that is? Right there? What? Grease 2. Oh, I've never seen that on purpose. Grease 2 is one of the worst films ever made. It is so bad. It's painful. I would never watch that movie. Yeah. It's really, really awful. Oh man. That was painful to watch. Funny. Very funny. But, oh man. Yeah. More of these guys doing this. Like if I was said to sit down and watch it, this would be my face the entire time. Well, I don't know. It's so bad. Like, I wonder if I had seen the whole thing. I would be doing to it what I was doing to the reaction to this, which would be just constantly in a state of going. There's just sometimes when people do something creatively, whether it's a film or it's a song or whatever, and you see it and you look back and you think to yourself, it's like certain, certain snacks, right? You open it. You taste it. You go, everybody at the factory and the whole team went, mmm, yeah, let's sell that. Right? See that sometimes with like movies. And I'm like, who finished that and said print and send that to the distributor?  And I promise it was his underwear. He was shown her underwear. Rithik Roshan underwear. See my penis? Like, what was that? Well, that's what you do on a hot day. Hey auntie. It's like, why was he a little teenage girl?  I want to see my penis. I think that's what some guys think girls want. They do.  It's so true. So yeah, this came out in 2003. So if you ever recommend this, I will block you. I will never watch this. Too far away to get blocked is to recommend mine for M.T. Dewanihun. Let us know what other pretentious way we have used to watch and laugh at down below.


So, in this program, we are going to see how can we read barcodes from the multi-page TIFF image file. Here we are having the sample TIFF file. It is containing the multiple pages, but I am not having the TIFF viewer, so I cannot show you, but we will see when we execute the program. I am going to copy and paste this in our sample application and make sure it is containing the bin folder where the program is executed. These are the steps we are going to follow. It is pretty simple and very much the same as the previous one in the previous program where we read from the multi-page PDF files. So we are going to create one instance of the reader class, we are going to set the barcode types to find and we are going to find the barcode, iterate through loop and display the result. So first of all, let me create the instance of the reader class, set the registration key and name. I am using the demo keys here. Now let us set the barcode types to find. We are going to find all of the one-day barcodes. I am going to specify the pages to read from page number 1, 2, 4 and 6. Let us specify the input file. Okay, we are all set. Now let us iterate through pages, just read from reader.readfrom, go to specify the page name, input file and page index which is the zero base. So I am deducting the one from the page number and this is the output in the array format of the found barcode. Now let us display it reading from page barcode of found value and let us see the output. So this is how easy to read from the tip file.


Now, let's take homeopathy as an alternative health claim. It's based on the idea that like cures like or the law of similars. Now, it sounds faintly plausible, right? It's kind of like a vaccine where you get a diminished form of the virus and that provokes your immune system. But the idea behind like cures like is the assumption that the thing that caused the ailment can actually cure it. So a diluted form of poison ivy can stop a skin rash. A diluted form of coffee can stop hyperactivity. Red onions can stop your eyes from watering, right? But it gets even stranger. Homeopaths claim that the more you dilute a substance, an active ingredient, the more powerful it becomes. So most homeopathic remedies are labeled 30C, which means one part active ingredient to 100 to the power 30 parts water. Now, that's all of the atoms in the entire solar system. Take another example. I mean, a 12C dilution, never mind a 30C one. The analogy there is a pinch of salt in the entire north and south Atlantic oceans, right? There is no active ingredient in homeopathic remedies. It's just water. That's exactly right. This idea of like cures like I think is really interesting. There's a bunch of this. You see this all over the place. The things that people eat, right? So a lot of people eat fish or pig brains to make them smarter. They eat eyeballs to make them see better.  Or rhino horns to make them horny. That's right.  Now, Carol Nemeroff and Paul Rosen did some really nice work here. They gave people information about these fictitious tribes. So participants were told about this tribe, the Eight Wild Boar, right? And then they rated the personality characteristics of this tribe. And the tribe that ate wild boar were judged to be harrier, have beards, and more aggressive than another tribe who ate sea turtles. Now this tribe that ate sea turtles were judged to be better swimmers. Yeah, that's the you are what you eat sort of idea, which is related to another similar claim that natural is better. So many people have the intuition that the things that we eat, if they're natural, they're better for you. They're better for the environment. They're safer. But if you think about it for a second, there are a lot of unnatural things that aren't good for you. I mean, jellyfish, poisons, snake venom, arsenic. They're all perfectly natural, but they're not good for you at all. Some perfectly unnatural things are automobiles, indoor plumbing, eyeglasses. These are all unnatural, but they're really, really useful. So I had a chance to talk to Jimmy Battella about this idea, this intuition that we have of natural being better. And here's what he had to say.


back to my channel today's video is going to be I kind of wanted to be a um like come along with me to my appointments um it's gonna be a vlog honey it's gonna be a vlog I'm starting it on Sunday I

I just I'm just not a baby hair type of girl you know like I'll do it for like a wee review or something but other than that like on a normal I don't want all that I hate frontal so yeah pages on my hair I've been going to page since 2014 so I want her to do my so in how she used to do them back then like before everybody really got on baby hair I want to target yesterday me and Nikki came over I wanted to vlog every day this week for like a true weekly vlog but I didn't even pick up the camera yesterday because I was trying to get out my new intro so you guys should have already seen that in my last vlog well my last like two vlogs in this one me and Nikki did go to Target yesterday I just picked up a few things that I needed I haven't had shaving cream in about like two months I've just been using um like my body wash and stuff like that to shave my legs but this is the one I picked up smells really good I see a lot of people use this on YouTube I think smells really good I came with to use it it's pomegranate and raspberry so I got that one and razors I'm not a picky razor person as long as the razor is like thick like that and like oval I love any blades it's like that so that's it and then I just got some more um more cellar my cellar water the makeup remover I don't care if it's name brand or off-brand the name brand is gone year but whatever it all works the same so that's all I got from there I did go to Walmart yesterday to um already put that stuff up is at the house so I'm just gonna have to go home and show y'all that but what time is it it's 423 I do need a feel and one of my nails broke so I was gonna go do that but where I'm at right now it's busy like it's 424 where I live we have five o'clock traffic I don't know about y'all sometimes we have like the lunch hour rush traffic too but for sure we have five o'clock traffic I do need to clean up my car my car is nasty and I need a car wash let me look up a car wash real quick alright so I am at the car wash I go to um I go to any like zip car wash around here but um yeah this how I was looking they did that I'm out in you he stepped in mud and got my car all muddy the fries and stuff is definitely for me the back is that stuff this needs to get done and my trash can back doesn't need to be empty and stuff like that my floor just needs to be vacuumed so yeah I'm about to handle and I may get my car I was gonna get my car washed but it's supposed to rain tomorrow so I think I'm just gonna wait and it's like dusty and stuff up here so I'm gonna like clean everything shit it is what it is working on the weekend like usual way off in the deep end like doing too much having done my taxes I'm too turned up Virgil got a paddock on my wrist on us niggas call me slipping once okay so what some of this is the melatonin that I take I like the Vita fusion brand and then the hair skin and nails vitamins this is the spring Valley is the brand I used to buy when I used to work at big lots like two years ago and then they just like stop carrying them or we just couldn't get him in because of COVID so then I went to Walmart and I bought the hair skin and nails vitamins that's like pink and purple that everyone uses I use those I like them but it's just these are the ones that I had first started off with so these are the ones that I like to take and I forgot to take them today so he was take two these are how they look the flavor is strawberry there's 60 in these I gotta get used to taking this again because I'm used to the other taste but the other thing that I bought that I know I bought it wanted to show you how to talk about was the honey pot wash nothing one like right here so not the one that has the foam pump because I absolutely hate that one that one always stops working within like three uses I did a shop for me for like my hygiene products video in my last place so about a month or two ago give or take and y'all were like you know talking about the summers Eve that I got it's back there I've been using this since high school but I do like honey pot I never said I didn't like honey pot I did I said I didn't like them but I said I didn't like them because of their foaming nozzle would get stuck you know to stop working after like the third try so they have another wash that's just like it but it's in like the this bottle so I absolutely love that obviously squirted out it matters up pretty good so I'm super excited I guess they got different kinds this is the only one that I saw and I'm gonna look online and see if they got some different ones so yeah I'm excited about that I just want to tell you because they were telling me to use honey pot and not summer's Eve and I'm like I don't like honey pot because it also doesn't work girl so I'm about to take this little boy out and then I'm gonna put up my little few items from Target the video that I was trying to hear you in post today wasn't even supposed to go up today it was supposed to go up Thursday but whatever I'm not gonna give you a vlog until next week now but I'm gonna finish cleaning up and I'm gonna have to dye my hair let me see if I remember where I put it from Amazon I think I told y'all it was cheaper on Amazon than going to like Sally's beauty supply cuz Sally's for one box is $8 and 79 cents Amazon had a pack of two and a pack of three depending on which color you need it for 14 like 85 so this is what I always use when y'all seen you with burgundy red hair my absolute favorite brand I do not have the bleach hair anything you just put this on the hair and it literally colors it as long as your hair is pretty good quality so I got three of the reds and then I got two magentas so that's five boxes total my longest bundle I believe is 22 inches or 24 that's 20 maybe maybe 20 that's 16 that's 22 okay so my longest bundle is definitely 22 inches and I have a closure so I'm probably gonna use all five boxes yeah definitely gonna use all five boxes that's a lot of hair so yeah I'm gonna take him out we're gonna come back bleach this hair and then I'm going to clean up and I guess wait on Nikki that's not really much I have to do I gotta go to work tomorrow so I accomplished everything I needed to do on my off face so I'm gonna finally hang this up this is what Nikki gave me I have to bleach my hair and I had to lay this down because we like and I'm about to dye hair red got me any mishaps so I just bust these open put down the home good ones and then I put an actual trash bag on top of the home good ones because I like to comb through the hair and combing through I know it's probably gonna go through this so I'm gonna bleach it on this side and then I'm gonna put them on the side of this like double that so they can just rest over there and then I'll probably pick them up and put them on the counter by the sink so I can like get all the business up but I forgot well I thought I didn't forget I thought I had 40 volume developer I only have a little bit left in here a little bit left in here that needs to be turned and then I have a full thing of 20 and then I have a small thing of 30 so I'm probably gonna have to leave this on for about like three hours because the processing time with 20 volume developer is like really low this says to use it with 30 or 40 if your client hairs relaxed use 20 and it takes about 30 minutes at room temperature but I'm gonna leave it on for a minute and give you guys a honest review I got my hair installed on March 30th so next Saturday would make a full month I wanted to actually wear the hair to see how well it holds a curl I flat-earned it I shampooed it conditioned it and I also re-curled it flat-earned it so this is how I was looking after a month I'm about to take this down literally tonight or tomorrow because as you can see my real hair is peeking through my natural hair grows extremely fast so now I'm not able to really keep in solans as long as I used to I used to keep them in about two to three months and it's not even been a complete month and my hair is already looking like that so this is coming out but the hair itself is super cute this hair was originally black they did send over their HD lace closure I believe I have in a five by five so I bleach the nuts my hair stylist plucked a little bit and I'm not sure what length they sent I can't find the exact email that me and the lady was talking about but I did record me dyeing this hair so I do have the links on that cut of the video but they sent me three bundles in a closure I think my longest bundle is like 22 inches the hair was originally black like I said and I did dye it burgundy I use the L'Oreal highlight color in red and magenta I use like six boxes so if you have long hair I don't recommend doing it you have long hair I don't recommend doing it that way but it's a better alternative than bleaching the hair because I didn't want to over process the hair so super cute and I also wanted to mention the hair came I believe USPS and this is the little bag that it came in it didn't come in a box it just came in a little bag that you can store the hair in when you get done using it whether you make it into a wig or sew it in like me I'm gonna put the hair back into the bag and maybe use it later but these are the bag of goodies that you'll receive so they gave me one two three okay anyways they gave a pack of four hair clips and these are like the really good ones these are nice okay and that the I think it only came with three things I want to say that it came with the comb but already took the comb out using it so this is just a cute little pink scarf so if you want to tie down your edges or use it as a bandana type thing and then tie down your hair I used one like this last night so when I'm around the house I like to tie down like this and wear it and then they gave a pack of lashes so that's all that you'll get when you see the hair I honestly really like the hair not minding the fact that my hair grows out so quick so it doesn't look as good anymore but the hair itself is pretty good I just put a few loose curls in it and I've just been using oil and then a little bit of oil sheen to keep the curls set so I like it hey y'all hi just woke up it's March 31st so the last day of March it's Thursday and I got my hair done yesterday I did want to vlog and take out with me but yesterday was a lot like I was there for a very long time and I had to like die my closure there at my appointment she had me bleaching my dots like it was just a whole lot going on and keep in mind I've been going to her since 2014 so it's like she's family so like don't get it twisted you know like it's cool we've been doing this for a while now together so it was I was only her I was her only client yesterday too so that worked out pretty well we was just both thrown for a loot because she thought I was coming for silk out and I was coming for it so in so yeah it was just it was so funny though so I did this little thingy that I bought maybe like four to five months ago from Amazon when this went viral on tiktok I remember this one black girl she was using it on her actual like natural hair so I decided to put it in as you can see it kind of feel this one isn't the one that's like a flexi rod because you know flexi rods keep its shape when you like twist it so this one it's not much of a flexi rod like it's just a ride so if you turn it it's not going to stay you know flexi rods if you bend it it's going to stay in that place so I don't really know how this is going to look I'm really going to have no one to put y'all cuz y'all I do not need my camera falling I'm just going to sit y'all up right here this is a horrible angle okay so this is the curls though let me get a little oil this is the one I use I gotta go to work it's 5 30 so I need to be taking prints out right now I especially like the flexi rods and those things because you don't have to put heat on your hair so it definitely protects your hair this is it I may or may not flutter in the top but I mean I'm literally going to work and it's probably going to be put up anyway so I'm not really too messed up about him literally don't even know how this happened how did this even spill I haven't even ate this use this or anything like this is a complete mess I don't know where I left off in this vlog but today Easter April the 17th so whoa why did it just get like super bright out of nowhere okay so I am about to finally finish unpacking my vanity as you as you see I think I I don't know if I included it in this vlog or not but I switched my vanity out of my bedroom to the living room so it's back behind me I may show how I move everything either in this vlog or the next one I gotta clean up so I'm gonna clean up tomorrow and then I'll probably show you guys how I set everything up and changed it around I think I did show it already in this vlog but I'm about to clean out all of my little clear acrylic container thingies and I'm about to just my makeup and everything in the proper drawer that they belong in I wanted to hop on really quickly because I did just get a DM from a girl I think maybe a day or two ago whenever I had posted my vanity on my Instagram if you don't follow me on Instagram go ahead and go do that it is underscore Akira with three a's at the end of my name but she asked me to do a video on where I got my vanity from I did do a video a long time ago when I got it in like 2019 but you see me putting up the back piece for the whatever I put the light bulbs in I don't really know what this is called but that is from Amazon it came in a two-pack my actual mirror is from a glass shop I actually went to go get a mirror cut out I gave them the dimensions that I wanted and they cut it out perfectly that was only $50 and it is a very very thick glass the other videos that I used to watch on YouTube back in like 2019 they would just go to like Lowe's or somewhere and get a cheap glass for like $15-$20 but the guy at Lowe's he actually told me don't get this glass like go somewhere else and get this so I did and my actual vanity like table I guess you can say or desk I made the top part of it is actually just the closet shelf from either Lowe's or Home Depot I can't remember which one and then the actual like they're like the IKEA like what is it called the Alexa shelves I bought those from Michaels and Michaels always have like a 20% off coupon so I definitely recommend going to your local Michaels looking at the coupon and getting those drawers unless you just want to splurge and get the stuff from IKEA you can and the actual light bulbs those are from Lowe's also I just bought the ones that I like and yeah that's where my vanity is from and I built it myself put everything together as you can see I do it every time I move and I just do it all myself


Since the topic was so broad, I thought that I could say anything which would fit this broad topic. So yesterday we had a pretty broad discussion on global economic governance reforms. So since this was about the role of the international community, but what the international community can do, I thought maybe should talk a little bit more about the action rather than about broad frameworks. So in doing so, I want to focus on how we can better address together shocks that particularly affect agricultural livelihoods. And of course I want to talk about that particular aspect since I'm receiving an income from the Food and Agriculture Organization. But before getting to the precise shocks and what we can do about it, it's important to put it in the broader perspective of what challenges we're facing for securing food security for future generations and also for the current generations, also particularly in the context of environmental constraints. I think the first main challenge is to be able to sustainably meet growing food demand. We have still a bit of a population explosion in front of us with 2 billion more people being added to the world population over the next 35 years. Both of them will be living in cities, which also creates, together with income growth, creates large changes in food demands, particularly towards a way from staple crops, towards more fruits, vegetables and particularly meats, which are more resource intensive. Now we estimate, our latest estimates, that food demand will increase from present levels by about 50% over the next 35 years. That seems like a very achievable target, so to speak, if we look at the past history since, take the previous 40 years, the world's more or less tripled food production. So another 50% should not be a major challenge. But it is because in the past, a lot of the food expansion, the expansion of food production came from expanding land and extensive use of natural resources, where in most regions, the limits of expanding them have been reached or would be too costly to put into agricultural production. The challenge is how to do that, how to be able to feed the overall world population through more sustainable means of production, more intensive use of the existing natural resources. Now out of that, and with increasing urbanization, what we should expect to see is a lot more competition for natural resources, lands, water, forest and so on. Out of that, we should expect to see possible conflicts emerging moving forward if we don't manage them properly. Likewise, access to food will remain challenging, even though we have seen a lot of reduction in our measure of malnutrition or undernourishment because of improvement in access, but still a lot of the poor and food insecure live in remote rural areas with also difficulties in improving their income situation in order to access food. So unless we address the structural problems around access to food will be difficult to achieve the global targets of ending hunger by 2013. We're facing already many countries, a triple burden of malnutrition, still undernourishment, two billion people around the world with a lack of micronutrients, more than two billion people overweight, obese with enormous risk of additional health risks around the world. And all of that is associated with dietary changes, changing food patterns, which I mentioned before, which is also increasing the pressures on natural resources. We have to face up with climate change, which may affect the sustainable increases, and as well as what I will talk about a little bit more, transboundary past the diseases, some of which aren't being enhanced by the effects of climate change. So there's all kinds of risks there, and on top of that, there's enormous social aspects that emanate from agriculture, where we need to increase productivity, particularly areas where most of the population growth will take place in Africa and South Asia, out of which employment challenges emerge, particularly with enormous youth bulbs in those countries that are still growing, particularly in Africa, with very little opportunities for employment in non-agriculture sectors. So the question is to what extent can agriculture in part help absorb that growing labor force in order to avoid, what we say, a lot more migration that emerges out of the distress and will put pressure on other parts of the system. So I'm not going to dwell on any of these challenges, but what we'll dwell on is a bit more how we can address the challenges coming from protected crisis, natural disasters, and conflict situations that could set back the progress you can make on all these other fronts in trying to improve food security and moving forward, particularly because, well, one thing we see is that countries that are in protected crisis tend to have three times higher levels of prevalence of food insecurity and malnutrition, but also are more likely to have enormous setbacks in their development and putting additional pressure on the tensions that I mentioned before. So let me dwell a bit on those issues, to see what action can be undertaken to mitigate the effects, the risks, and out of that also get more structural progress moving forward. As FEO, among the shocks that we're trying to address and that affect agriculture livelihoods, there's a whole range of shocks, and particularly when they come together, we call them protected crisis because then typically the impacts last much longer. So let me address some of these challenges. We take natural resource hazards, natural hazards, climate-related disasters. We see an increased frequency, intensity, and impact, particularly weather-related disasters, and most of these primarily affect agricultural sectors and agricultural livelihoods. Over the past decades, we see that 80 percent of these disasters rate to climate, that agriculture sectors bear a large share of the cost up to 25 percent, a lot of the other costs tend to go into infrastructure, in the case of drought, when infrastructure is not as much affected than 80 percent is carried by agriculture sectors alone. This has also a major source of displacement of people on average over the past years, we've seen more than 20 million people being displaced just because of natural disasters. But it mentions protected crisis and conflicts, also there we see them intensifying, and most of the conflicts are being fought in rural areas, thereby also directly affecting agricultural livelihoods. Important there is that if we don't address them properly, you see protected crises relapse, even if the countries grow out of it, they relapse within 10 years unless the structural causes are being addressed. Last year, because of crisis and conflict, we had 65 million people broad estimates displaced because of that, and a lot of these people are being displaced for long periods of time. So these shocks again affect food security and agricultural livelihoods. Lastly, we see also an increasing tendency of more outbreaks of trans-boundary animal plant disease, plants, pests and diseases, some of them compounded by effects of climate change or warmer temperatures, but also of lack of control among, in on farms and in food chains. And that's affecting a lot of agricultural livelihoods and for individual farmers, those can be devastating if you get a locus plague or wheat rust, it can devastate your entire harvest and sometimes for more than one season. So what are we trying to do as FVO with partners? And I think that we're in the area of resilience building. We see a lot of partnerships emerging both across UN agencies and our partners link to the World Food Program, but also other parts of the UN system, but more importantly also engagement with underground NGOs that try to build resilience, as well as the private sector when it comes to combating plant diseases and trans-boundary animal diseases. So we have a focus on four areas of action. One is to prepare governments and national stakeholders better to be prepared to address the risk. We see still too much that governments and other actors come into action once the crisis is already there. So what it means is trying to have built in disaster risk reduction strategies into national agriculture policies and rural development policies. Likewise to be prepared to address the possible outbreak of animal diseases and so on to have an immediate response capacity. But most importantly is to build the connection between emergency relief action and development action and that's a particular challenge that we see. I'll come back to that point to the end. Second area of intervention that can be extremely effective if you have the resources you put it best in place is what we call watch to safeguard, which is early warning systems that are not just alarming, but also are directly connected how to get into action once you see a problem emerging. So we have early warning systems that relate to the outbreaks of animal diseases, the possible outbreak of plant diseases, have an integrated phase classification system that is built up from assessment of multiple stakeholders, how possible outbreaks of foods, insecurity situations, famines could be early identified in order to come to early action. Likewise on food prices, we have a system and on resilience measurement which tries to identify what are the factors that determine the degree of resilience of individual households to be able to respond to a shock in order to identify if that those indicators of resilience fall that something needs to be done in order to prevent the next shock to become catastrophic for large groups of households. Then applying the third area risk and vulnerability measures that can range from agricultural interventions when it comes to greater resistance to natural shocks, natural disaster shocks, for instance like putting in agroforestry techniques into place which provides more protection against windbreaks or connected windbreaks that can avoid soil erosion and can retain more water in the ground if applied properly. Those lot of those practices also link to what we call climate smart agriculture that if put in place they can help protect against the shocks of natural disasters as well as prepare for an adapt to the consequences of climate change. And then put into the capacity what we call prepare and respond to crisis is to have actions in place that could immediately respond to crisis where it comes, it could be food reserves, the seed reserves, fishery emergency protection if the emergencies are in fisheries and likewise for livestock. So these are sets of interventions that we put in practice with governments with stakeholders on the ground and with international partners in order to try and be better prepared for natural disaster can affect rural livelihoods. These are consistent with international policy responses. There's the Sendai framework for disaster risk reduction, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change if we make true that also has clear indications how to address extreme weather events and align the climate action as related to agriculture also with better preparedness for those crisis potential crisis. And then our committee for World Food Security has an action plan for addressing protected crisis and safeguards and food security and nutrition during and after crisis. And we have a one health program which is one health for animal health and human health particularly to have a responsible character that animal health diseases don't affect also human health. So we have the frameworks in place, we have the partnerships in place yet we should fear a lot more outbreaks of crisis simply because the capacity is still limited, we've seen that with the Ebola crisis, WHO had disinvested in their emergency responses and also as FEO we had to gear up back up to be able to respond quickly. So there's still capacity constraints there, part of that has to do with how development aids comes, a lot of humanitarian aids is being provided and has increased but when it comes to specific attention which is relevant to this context but it could be other sectors, attention for agriculture has decreased which limits the capacity to align humanitarian assistance with development assistance. So principle should be all become one pot of money but the way humanitarian aid comes is very specific for specific types of actions and not easy to divert into longer term development efforts. There will be other challenges but one thing that we're looking at at the moment and I'll conclude with that is particularly development dilemmas that may emerge in crisis, in conflict situations. A lot of the action we try to aim at is to protect livelihoods, improve animal health where people live of livestock, which can be a good way to build resilience in conflict situations but the dilemma sometimes is there it can also become a source of igniting further the conflict, as we see it in South Sudan where livestock is the main agriculture assets most rural households have so by making the livestock more healthy we've also seen that becomes a pray for the rebels in order to plunder the assets of vulnerable rural households so and there are similar examples from given Syria where we also try to provide aid. We have to look at those dilemma very carefully that we protect rural livelihoods and out of that and that's why it's so important to line these immediate called emergency responses with broader development efforts such that also the root causes of the conflict will disappear. So let me stop here on hopefully a bit of a positive note how things can come together in order to build more resilience and stave off crisis but at the same time emphasize that we have not solved those problems yet and a lot more needs to be done. Thank you.


Only one or two generations ago pretty much all boys were brought up in families where there was a man around. There was a father where there is a good father or a shit father, you know, there was a lot of variation on that, but there was pretty clear roles that men and women played and I think most boys had pretty clear role models and though it was pretty clear about what they had to do in life in order to be a man in whatever society they existed in. Now, I think there are some advantages to that in the sense that, you know, you understood where your place was and also some disadvantages in the sense that there was only one place you were allowed to be. I come from a generation where a lot of guys were brought up without father figures and myself included. Not that I don't have a father, I do and I love him very dearly, but he wasn't really around when I was growing up. And as a result, I got to choose my father figures, which is something I'm very grateful for.  And so I got the opportunity to go out there and find my own influences. And I think for a lot of guys out there who are in that position, they might feel like they're missing out on something or that they were hard done by it. And that can be true if that's what you believe. You can live that crutch all your life, that you didn't have a daddy around to tell you what to do and so therefore you never became a man. But I would prefer that you take that as an amazing opportunity to go out there and choose your own life and choose your own mentors. My influences have been diverse and in some ways contradictory.  And then I swung from that into becoming quite a hardcore Buddhist. And so my influences were my initial Buddhist and Kung Fu teachers and to this day I have amazing respect for those men and they influence me every day in the sense that they taught me to take autonomy for myself, to not accept anything without experiencing it myself but at the same time to have the humility to be open-minded enough to experiment with a whole range of internal techniques or mindsets or lifestyle decisions. The women that I have had the privilege to have in my life as lovers or girlfriends have influenced me greatly. I have a profound respect for women and they have taught me more about myself really than anyone else because a really good woman when you meet her will act as a mirror to you.  So the girls that I spent long periods of time with really shaped and influenced my life as well and I think that's something important to understand. If you want to be a great seducer you need to actually really love women.  I see seduction as a life long pursuit something that both sexes benefit from and both grow from if done in an in an ethical and honest way. So yeah my influences Jim Morrison monks chicks and of course the guys that I have come to consider to be brothers and fellow warriors on this path that I've met through being a coach in this I've met some absolutely amazing men and I've also met some amazing charlatans and con artists who've you know taught me about what I don't want to be and what can happen if you follow the dark side too long. As a mentor and a coach in this industry what I find is that in order for me to feel good about myself I need to make sure that what I teach and what I do is in complete alignment. Now I'm not saying that I have a monopoly on the truth that I understand everything or I'm a master and I think the moment you think that you must have mastered something it means you stop learning. So for myself I'm constantly growing I'm more than happy to receive feedback criticism and to engage with new ideas but at the same time when I'm coaching I need to have conviction about what it is that I'm doing and in this industry as a leader in this industry it holds me constantly accountable and I think some people are okay with having a product or a service they sell which they don't believe in or they know is bullshit or you know it's pure marketing and then can live their own life and feel asleep at night. For myself I'm not able to do that and as a result one of the best things about being in this industry is that I am constantly held up to my own standards that I if there's something that I expect somebody else to do then I must be able to do it myself. I would never ask a student to do something that I have not done myself and at the same time I would never expect him to have a deep internal shift or to confront his demons or to face his ego or whatever else if I was unable to do it myself which is why I think it's good that I have been through a very wide spectrum of life experience. I have been a fuck-up in some ways at some points you know I have experimented with drugs I have hurt women in the past I have lied I have cheated I have done those things at the same time I have you know pushed myself to extremes of what I would say would be spiritual purity or living in complete alignment with my integrity and because I understand the light and the dark and I've been through those and I've seen the consequences of living in both of those I think I'm more than qualified to be able to coach guys from more or less any position they've gone through. Unfortunately because this industry is completely unregulated no government body has dared to come and look at it look at us yet which is you know good for tax but not so good for regulating it. There's there's a lot of men who come to this because they are lonely because they are scared because they are broken because they missed out in life they're vulnerable people often who come to to be coached and unfortunately that means that a lot of vultures circle around them and try and squeeze as much money out of them before discarding them as possible and as a result of that we're seeing a backlash where a lot of guys who've come into the community received coaching probably overpriced and overhyped and not really gotten any change out of it have then thrown out the whole idea that you can be coached to become better with women or your lifestyle or to change your beliefs which is really sad. When I got a guy come to me who's spent 3k on a boot camp that he considered to be a rip-off the worst thing is not the money he lost it's that because he was coached by the best in the world and it didn't work for him it means to him that he can't be helped and if a guy feels like there's nothing else for me I can't be helped that's that's a really tragic thing so I think it's very important for myself and for the other coaches who I know have integrity and teach very well and get results that we actually start to call these people out and more more importantly than that we band together and creates systems and standards that coaches must adhere to in order to be able to call themselves lifestyle coaches or seduction coaches. The question is where did the game go wrong or right? I don't think it necessarily went wrong I think what it did is it it appeared out of a particular city Los Angeles which is a bizarre place it's not like most cities on the world on the planet and it it came out of a knee jerk response to a bunch of guys who were nerdy guys who couldn't get laid with LA club chicks and so they kind of modeled what was going on in the club and worked out what girls were responding to and cobbled together some techniques that would kind of mimic what a high value guy in that situation would be doing. I think the game in itself is a really positive thing in the sense that it created a you know a public knowledge that this was possible that it was possible to go up and talk to a girl across the street or across the bar without knowing her without her being in your social circle and that you could have a shot at it and I think that's a really powerful thing anything that gets a guy to walk across and talk to that girl is better than nothing but at the same time the presupposition that it was built on all that all indirect schools are built on is flawed the presupposition is women won't like you for you therefore you need to pretend to be something that is not you and you need to trick them in order to get them into bed all indirect schools are built on that presupposition and it's it's a really terrible mindset to come from internal awareness to understand your own emotional state your thinking processes the way your physiology and your emotions and your thoughts interact and in this industry as a leader in this industry it holds me constantly accountable and I think some people are okay with having a product or a service they sell which they don't believe in or they because you never know what's going to happen who you're going to meet and out of that my reputation spread a lot I met another guy called Sasha D game who I've now been collaborating with for the last year and has highly influenced me and I think I've done the same to him and create industry standards which is not far away because you're seeing a lot of complaint which is completely justified from a lot of guys who've been burnt along the way not through you know forcing anybody but but making people think by exploding their realities by questioning their presuppositions about what is and what is not possible or what you shouldn't shouldn't do because I've done everything you shouldn't do really


Welcome to Toffy TV. Fabian Delph is an Everton player. He is joined from Manchester City. I am joined by Andy. We're going to discuss how good Fabian Delph is assigning for Everton. Listen, he's an international midfield player signed from the Premier League champions, won the Premier League twice, plays in a Pep Guardiola side. Not a bad sign. You know, you're paying just over £8 million. I get fans pessimism about it, but it's a good player. You know, he adds that experience. He adds a player who can pass the ball. You know, obviously we've got Morgan Schneider, we've got Andrew Gomez, we've also got a dresser guy. I don't think I know people worried about him being a replacement for a dresser guy. I don't think that's the case at all. I think he's just a player marked with silver and master of brands once they add to the squad to provide that experience. It also gives us different midfield options. And again, someone who can break down a team with his passing.  If he plays 15 games, two cups in the league, we're fine with that. So long as he can have that experience. You know, he adds that dressing room experience where you can say, this is what it takes to win things. And how many players have you got like that, Andrew Gomez, Lucas Eam maybe for a couple of teams? It's not much else really, is there? No, I think we need a vocal player in the dressing room, obviously Phil Diagel. Phil Diagel has gone on the door. I said this when we had a chat about him last week in terms of what he brings, having watched that all on off in documentary. Very vocal in the dressing room, very pulling players together, not scared to say his bit. And I think Marco Silva wants that. That's a thing that's come out with this transfer. Is that that line about leadership qualities and about that will to win and that strong mentality in the dressing room has all come out with Fabian Delph? Has got all of that and I think that helps with anything? Maybe Marco Silva wants someone on the pitch who mirrors his personality, but he can't say a manager on the pitch but acts as someone who pushes the player on the pitch in the dressing room because in the day the manager's obviously got a lot of influence but still they need players amongst the players who spend time together to have that influence because I've seen with the pep thing interrupts pep which people don't generally do, sticks his hand up and he basically riles the team up ready for the next round. So that's the type of thing you ever need. Again, it's not like it's not like with Simon, a player who's finished or he's 33, he's 20 now, he's not quite 30 yet. No, he's not 30 till something like November. So he's still got a couple of years of football left in him. I think it's a three year deal, I'm not too sure of the parameters around that but at eight million we can't really complain for the price. Get a good player, he adds a bit of the experience, he can hit the ground run, he can come straight into the team and play in the Premier League, there's no adaptation period. So it's a good sign, it might have been a good sign originally I was like oh it's a flight in five million's health but let's put our analytical caps on here, we're getting a good player at a very cheap price. I think you have to look at, a squad is built up of many different pieces isn't it and the team isn't it, I've seen and I've had this discussion with people over a weekend and you know even last week or where does he play then, you know who does he play instead of and it's like why are you just assuming that he's going to play, he's straight in the team. I don't think Mark O'Shilder guarantees anybody football, I think to get Fabian Delth through the door they will have, he'll have asked what's my role. And they will have said well you'll fight for your place because everybody does but we see you doing this job or that job. It's up to him to keep, if he gets in the side it's up to him to stay in the side. That's what happened with Zoom last season he missed a couple of games because me and Keane played together, he played well and he got injured and then he was back in, he could have been out of the side for like six, seven weeks it could depend. As you say you can't guarantee people starting spots otherwise, people become complacent, you know people start settling into the roles not being pushed, we've said this spot to say you need someone to push him, come and you need to be able to push him. You look at Banes, you know Dean came in, Banes played the first two games and then Dean took over, that was there. So we need that though you can't, you know I think people see it and go well you can't sign a win because you've got Bernard and Charleston but you need something different off the bench or whether we're playing a different type of team so you just need those different things. Delth could play in the midfield three with Gomez and Gay as well, you know if you want to be a bit more defensive I guess so there's a lot of options that he provides. You just need to consider it in the fact that Everton can't go out and just sign all young players I guess because the squad as you say needs a make-up of different types of players and someone with a winning mentality is Liverpool fan that would James Milner. It can help the squad that has to get over that hump really and we're looking into the top six, win a cup, that experience will be helpful. Definitely I think when you again that you know you just mentioned Milner there and there's players like that we got and I'm not trying to just go there's Gareth Barry but we got Gareth Barry in and I know there was a lot of negativity when we got Gareth Barry in. You know Fabian's not, he's not 30 yet, he's coming into the side. I think it said last week if he was the only sign in this summit then I'd understand people being very down beat. You know I'm very negative about it really because there's probably other areas but it's not necessarily. Again teams are made up of many different ways you know and if we, you just agree point there about Bernard and the Chalice and you want to add to them so that I don't think anybody should know that they're playing the following week unless they're playing out of the skin. If they're playing amazing then they deserve to keep the place on the side but it does you know arm if a cup, players are dipping. You know what you want? You want 11 players that you can pick every week you know in your head and then the subzarn is good or do you want 15, 16, 17 players you go any of them could start and our quality isn't diminished. You know I know at this conversation with someone over the weekend and they were like well yeah the last 10 weeks were great but the rest of the season was rubbish, what quality have we got and I was like well the first few months of the season was okay, the middle wasn't and the end was good but I would like to look and think by the end of the season that's more a blueprint of what Marco Silva is trying to do with that team and those players playing to their level of ability so that's the point I look at for everyone. That's the marker? Yes so and you can't just rest with that 11 from last season because I know we are happy the way they played at the end of last season, that's a marker they've put down for next season but as I've said before you need to be able to play different ways so and adding players to that makes a difference because you could say you know whichever right wing you sign they come in certain games but Charleston goes into the middle. It will add the different elements to it because if you play the same every game what happens is as we found out under Roberto Martinez for example teams start to work it out quite quickly and by the middle of the season the results start to turn because they know exactly how you are going to play. They'll just sit deep, wait for us to counter attack and then counter attack us so that's what will end up happening so we need to be able to play different ways and adding players like Dalf who can do different jobs. I don't think you'll play a left back have I'm honest. I think it is a pep system where the left backs play much narrower and higher up the pitch, it's different than playing an 11 where you like it to have it to defend a slight bit more so I think you'll be a sentiment fielder. Whether Morgan Schneiderland stays, I'm not too sure he's on a lot of money and you've got Tom Davis, that'll be good for Tom Davis to work with another box to box in my field like Fabian Delf. I always got Gomez and Gay already there but someone else you can sort of try and basically you know a bit of experience from to laying off really. You might grab him as well? Yeah exactly and it's worth it also work ethic as well he's coming from a city team that's been a machine for the last two years and even look at city and the other top teams they've always got players. You know Staling gets dropped, he makes a score tree in the previous game. Santa you wear on lubs, it's dropped consistently if he doesn't play well. So that's the type of standards that you need to keep but I think bringing a Delf in the dressing room, you'll set standards for work on the training pitch and you'll expect consistency and you'll call players out in the dressing room who are not playing well. And that's what we need sometimes, you need to wear a mentality. You know people say, I don't think he's going to be captain but it's like having an experienced voice in the dressing room who knows how to win it. It's a leader in a sense yeah. I mean he's played just on you know 95 games I think for city in four years, you know 22 a season on average. That's okay, you know he's got some injury worries, we know that he's picked injuries up but again it's all being part of that squad. I just think what he brings and ultimately for me the manager and Marcel Brans have decided he won them so I'm good with it. He wouldn't have made this decision just in the last three weeks because he's come available, he wouldn't have looked at him for six months knowing there possibly wouldn't have any year left that he might be available. He wouldn't have earmarked him as the type of player that can make that difference in the team. So it's not something where they've just made that decision likely, they'll know exactly what his qualities are now of the fit in the team. And I think Marcel Brans, you know Marko Silver likes that type of player to come in, he likes a bit of an experienced player at times as well. Marcel Brans, I know people say why has he signed all these young players and so he says go back to PSV, I've said it before, he signed Daniel Schwab, Andres Gordado and he signed Hector Moreno when they were 27, 20, 29. I had that little experience, get them over the line to win the end of the season so you know you need to have those type of players. I know people say we've got Garn and stuff like that but they're a different type of player. Garn is never really, I'm not too sure if he was in the Leal team that won the title about seven or eight years ago. But you know we haven't got that many players who've won things, you need that type of winning mentality. Yeah I mean for me it's the price you've shed as well, eight and a half, rising to ten if he does certain things and plays around the games. I don't think we can really complain about that and getting a good experience. It's not like we're bringing the players just not good enough for everything as well.  Now do we expect them to start over getting Gomez if they're the two? No it don't but in certain games, game might be injured, Gomez might be injured. You might think I'll go defensive or drop anti-Gomez for a game. I know people don't like to hear that but you've got to give different tactical looks against different teams. That in the day, the manager knows why he's brought him in. You have a specific role for him in mind and hopefully he'll prove to be a good sign. I think he will do.
