For fantasy, I feel like these bitches always look the same. So I'm like, who are you? Who are you? Um, who knows? And I'm actually, I'm actually really enjoying it. For what? We need something to spice it up. Let's mention the serial killer who's, some of his comings happen at the same time as a lot there. Hello friends, we have one cat. We have another cat. Can you even see him?   Welcome back. It is time, it is time for episode three of Booktube Twin Test. So if you don't know, this is a series I do where I ask a booktuber that you guys who said, do you think I have a similar reading taste to? I asked them for three books that they have loved, book recommendations. I read those books and it is a competition. And in the first two episodes of this, I did it with Books and Lala and Riley Marie and Kayla had 13 points and Riley had 12.5. So it has been a close run competition so far. They've given me some good recommendations. The booktuber I've asked this time is one that four of you said. So previously Kayla and Riley were ones that loads of you have said. And then I didn't want to just keep doing like the ones that most people have said. I wanted to like choose some booktubers that would intrigue me, you know, that make me think, huh, why have you said that? So the booktuber I've chosen for this edition is Aaron from Booktom Busy. So I love Aaron. Aaron is one of my favorite booktubers. I absolutely love her videos. And I never thought of us like as having a similar reading taste necessarily.  She loves fantasy, but I don't know. I've just never thought of us as having the same reading taste. So I really want to put that to the testers video. I'm really excited to see what she's going to recommend. My guess is a lot of fantasy, but she may recommend maybe more mysteries that she's enjoyed because she knows that's what I enjoy or may kind of adjust what she recommends to me. So I really don't know, but it's time to go ahead and watch the video that Aaron has sent me recommending me books. Hi, Megan. Hello. I am very surprised to find myself here as a contestant on Booktube's contest. But I asked myself, do I want Megan to read my favorite books or do I want to win? Ah! And of course the answer is that I want to win. So. I've done something that may be cheating. Okay. And if it is cheating, I'm going to go back up. So I'm actually going to recommend you four books. Okay. Okay. And I guess we'll read three. And we're going to get to why, and just to say I have a cunning reason behind all of my selection. So let's get into it. The first one, I feel like it's not a book you would expect or anyone would expect me to recommend, but I think it's a private recommendation for you because it is a book that I loved and I got you five stars. Okay. And it has some of your favorite things, murder, mayhem, lost women, true crime, and even better, it's a nonfiction. So my first recommendation is The Devil in the Light City by Mary Larson. This is one of my best books of 2020, the only nonfiction to make this. How exciting! Oh my God. This is a story about the Chicago World's Fear and H.H. Holmes, the serial killer. In this book, we follow, it's nonfiction, but it reads like fiction. I also highly recommend the audio book of this. I had a fantastic experience and it's told in two parts. And one is from the point of an architect who is trying to bring about the Chicago World's Fear. I had no interest in architecture, but I was riveted the entire time. And then we also follow H.H. Holmes on his rise to infamy. My second, it's another book that I don't think people would expect me to recommend here. Okay. When giving people the power to read things. I'm just getting crazy. Expects anything to me. But this is a book that warmed my heart, that I enjoy so much, that's outside of my usual, but that I gave five stars. It has dark academic elements. It's a mystery. It is just very fun. And it's also a middle grade.  I've never heard of that in my life.  I know that you like middle grade. I know we had similar ratings for Martin and the Night Brothers. And I think that you're going to love this. This is the only middle grade that I've given five stars in the middle of the world. And the setting is just perfect for this time of year. And I think you're going to love it. We follow our main character, Lola. This is not what I was expecting at all. This is something very different. Before she gets there, she finds these mysterious things about the academy that her father left to her. And when she gets there, she finds out that her father may have been into more than she imagined, even though she hadn't seen him since she was three. So my next choice is here's where it comes in, where it's cheating, maybe. I don't think it's cheating, but you know, house rules. So this is where it came down to, do I want to win and do I want to be nice? Well, really just do I want to win? Or do I want to be risky? So I have chosen to recommend you a book that I did not like at all. No, I ran. And the goal was to beat Kayla and beat Riley. So I want to go with that. No. So that book is, The Dragon's Road Warplong. I know that you really, really enjoyed book one. Yes I did. And I am a fan of Marathon and Series. I know that you're stuck in the middle of quite a few series and making some progress with it. So probably ended up with you reading the last book before the year is out.  So you're welcome. I gave this book two stars because it was more like the half of the popular one. We'll see what book the other recommendation is. I don't think we'll be reading this. This is pretty likely to get a good rating from you. So this is my choice. Now, if for some reason you feel like that's cheap. I think it is. I'm going to give you a fourth option. And this is a book that I gave five stars. Okay, we'll read this one. And that is Assassins of Prentice by Robin. Now I thought about this one and I was going to recommend some to you. I was like, hmm, she's going to be starting a new series and you already know so many series. And I love this book but it's very sad and depressing. But it's a perfect reading time of the year. I read it in the spring and beginning of quarantine. So sad and depressing season. But this book is fantastic. I love it. It's one of my favorite characters of all time. This writing, this story, it's beautiful and it's going to stay with me forever. In this book, we find my main character, Fitzgill, who is the best son of King Ray. I do not think I'll be reading this book anytime soon. He eventually gets trained into being in the Sathin because he can move through both worlds as the son of a noble. I absolutely love this book. Okay, there's five stars. So here are my three official recommendations. And if, you know, the house rules are termed that I am cheating, here is where I am recommending to you. Best of luck. And I can't wait to get my booktube twin test score. I think that's cheating. The rules don't apply. But here's the thing. I would rather read the Dragon of Public, right? I wanna make progress in that series. I really love the Poppy War and then I haven't made progress because I do find those books intimidating, the Dragon of Public and the Burning God. I own them both, but I think it's cheating. The whole purpose of this series is to read books that they have loved to find if we are twins. So I am gonna read Assassin's Apprentice in this video. I feel like that's the whole point of the video. So that's what we're gonna do. So we're gonna read the mystery, the middle grade, I can't remember what it was called, the Devil in the White City and the Assassin's Apprentice. Now I don't wanna read the Devil in the White City. But we're gonna do it because I think that fits the idea of the video. I think I'm probably gonna start with the middle grade once I get my hands on it because I'm kind of in the mood for a middle grade mystery. The way that Aaron described it, I'll be very excited. So I think we're gonna start with that one.  This is not, apart from Assassin's Apprentice is kind of the kind of thing I expected but the other two aren't. So I'm very excited to read some mystery. I did not think I'd be getting to do that. And yeah, I'll chat to you in a bit. We just saw, we're from, it was my and Tom's five year anniversary the other day and we went out for a nice lunch, which I didn't film, I forgot, but I remembered to film a bit of our walk and we went on a really nice walk together and the autumn is right at its end. So like all the trees, I don't know if the clips captured it well enough but like all the trees were so gold and orange and gorgeous. It was absolutely stunning. I had the best time. But about the book. I am about halfway through the mystery of Black Hollow Lane by Julia Nobel. And I'm really enjoying it. It took me a hot second to get into it because this is a middle grade but it reads as quite a young middle grade in my opinion. Like it's like a young middle grade, young middle grade. So for a moment I was like, I just don't know if it's quiet for me. You know what I mean? But as it's gone on, I've gotten more into it. So we're following Emmy who is American but her mother is like this really well-known kind of like parent guru and she's like, I'm too busy with my show that I've got to film. So she sends Emmy off to this private school in England. And I think it's actually near Norfolk but she don't know, I support Norwich City football club who are in Norfolk. And like there's a bit where she like goes to King's Lynn on a trip. And like the way that King's Lynn is romanticized, it just made me laugh. It was very funny. Emmy recognizing all the places talked about and knowing what they're really like. She meets her two friends. She's got this really like type group of friends there and they're trying to solve this mystery of kind of the history of the school and how her dad, who she hasn't seen since she was three and maybe wrapped up in it. And I'm really enjoying it. It's like a fun, simple kind of mystery middle grade. I'm really excited to read more in this series as well. I really like the characters. I think they have a really kind of pure kind friendship with one another. But yeah, I think Aaron was completely right as well when she said that like it's perfect for this time of year. There is this kind of like dark academia-ness to it. Like it's all about this old school with this like dark history to it. And I'm really enjoying like them and uncovering it and trying to figure out like the history of the school. And it's like a boarding school, right? So they like live there. It has that nostalgic boarding school, dark academia middle grade feeling, which I really, really enjoy. Do you wanna come say hello? Hi, how you doing? Hi, my name is Laura. She says, no Megan. I don't really wanna see her though. Thank you.  Weren't sure. But yes, very intrusive to see where it's gonna go. I feel like the mystery has kind of started being laid. We've got a great kind of scooby gang of friends. I'm just really enjoying it. That's all I really have to say. It's not like a five star right now. I don't know if it's gonna be a five star. I'm gonna go to the gym now and then I'm gonna come back and hopefully finish this tonight. So I'll speak to you tonight all in the morning about kind of my final thoughts about it. But yeah, I'm really, really enjoying it. Okay, I have finished the mystery of Black Collar Lane and I'm gonna give it three stars. It's gonna be a three star. So much more pressure in these videos when I'm rating these books because this kind of adds to the points of that booktube and I feel guilty. But anyway, I enjoyed it on the whole but the ending, it just didn't do it for me. Okay, here's the thing, it's a middle grade. I recognize it's a children's book and I'm not out here with unrealistic expectations for what it should do. So I've obviously felt like it was predictable but that's, a children's book doesn't have to be predictable. Do you know what I mean? And I felt like it was very over explained and I just didn't love it as much. When I last checked in with you, I kind of expected it to kind of improve and it didn't improve for me. Like the ending, there's this big explanation for why everything happened and how everything happened and I just don't vibe. Like I don't want that. I don't care, I don't care what age range it is. I don't care. I don't want that. I mean, all I can do is be honest with my feelings. Because Aaron mentioned Amari and the Night Brothers, right? And how I loved that when recommending this book. And Amari didn't do that. Or like it kind of had a moment like that but it was done so well. Like Amari was clever. It's such a clever children's book. And I don't think me saying this wasn't like clever enough or it was too like, the language wasn't quite what I liked. I'm not saying like it should be like adult bros and I'm saying that. I am viewing it through the lens of a middle grade. I wanna make that clear. I was a bit disappointed towards the end of it. I think I'll still carry on with this series although I may just listen to the audiobooks. I may not like collect it physically but I feel like I haven't got much to say. Like it was just, it just got on my nerves a bit at the end. I felt like it wasn't complex enough and I was a bit bored towards the end. You know what I mean? However, I will say I really enjoyed football and this. I love football. If you don't know, I support Norwich. The main character loves, she calls it soccer. And I really loved like seeing that. And like I always love books that talk about football particularly girls playing football. That's like a bit of a niche that I really enjoyed. So that I did really love. I loved the setting but I felt like the characters weren't it. Like I feel like I'm gonna keep comparing it to a Maron Knight Brothers just so we have like a point of reference. But the characters like even the adult figures in a Maron Knight Brothers was so like vivid and interesting and layered. And I didn't feel like these were. So next we're gonna read Assassin's Apprentice which I'm terrified for. Like I'm literally mildly terrified for this.  But first I thought we could unbox fairly together. Fairly makes me think of Aaron because Aaron unboxes fairly too. So I feel like this works. This is, I think this is the October box. I think this is gonna be the October box. I've always loved Fairly Loot. So let's show you what we've got this. Oh my God, this is tough. Fuck, what is our theme for this month? Oh, broken heart. Okay, what is this? Oh my God, what is that? Oh, it's a kingdom of the wicked blanket. Oh my God, this blanket is so soft. Blankets are such a good book. Hang on, whoa. It's like a blanket of a snake over this sword. Can you see that? I hope you can see that. But oh my God, that is so soft. Next we've got Once Upon a Broken Heart Character Cards. Okay. Oh wow, they're a load. They weren't kidding. There's loads of these. I always love, these are so beautifully designed. But I, when we get these, I can never tell you. I mean, I know once broken hearts only just come out. But I can never tell you like who's who. Like I don't know what characters look like for the life of me. I have no idea. Is anyone else just unable to like envisage characters? Like if it's for a book I've read and I see like unless it's really obvious like for fantasy of like these bitches always at the same. So I'm like, who are you? Who are you? Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows. Then oh, we've got a Trinket Trey designed by Ars28. Oh, inspired by Adi LaRue. Oh, this is pretty. I do love a good Trinket Trey. Look how cute that is. I'm gonna have to put that on my bookshelf. I really love that. Wow, I do love their Trinket Trey. That is so cute. Where should I put that? We have got a postcard inspired by we set the dark on fire. And then we've got the tarot cards this month inspired by Ray Bearer. Okay, let's look and see what the book is going to be. Oh my God. I'm so excited. I don't know what it is. But she's beautiful. Right. But she's beautiful. Oh my God. Wow, okay. And then, oh my God, get out. Get out. No, no, I can't take it. I can't. The ballad of the art chair and the fucks? No. And then look at the art on the inside of the dust jacket. I actually, I am deceased. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. Oh my God. Fuck. This is gorgeous. This is up there as one of my favorite books I've received from Fairyloot this whole year. What? It is so gorgeous. I mean, get out.  Oh my God. Oh my God, I love it. Okay, so this is Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber, which I've had a lot of my patrons have actually been talking about how much they've been excited for this. A beautiful story about love curses and the lengths that people go to for a happily ever after. Look at this cover. I can't get over the cover. Okay. It's gorgeous. Listen, you guys need to go check out Fairyloot down below. I will always just love Fairyloot. I cannot get over how gorgeous this edition is. Like it is absolutely stunning. It is stunning. So I will leave Fairyloot down below. I absolutely love this. So anyway, it is now time for me to go read Assassin's Apprentice. I'm gonna try and read almost the whole thing today. I have the audiobook. I need to do a few more work bits, but then I need to just focus on this. This is gonna be my sole focus the rest of the day. I'm nervous. I'm nervous, but I'm excited. I'm hoping I'm gonna love it, but like am I? We shall see. I am 108 pages into Assassin's Apprentice. And I am actually, I'm actually really enjoying it. What? I'm like, oh! I wasn't expecting that at all. I actually can't believe. I'm actually gonna get read. I can't believe how much I'm actually enjoying this. I was thinking to myself, I cannot remember the last time I read an adult high fantasy. I can't, I can't remember. I looked back on Goodreads and the last two things I would class as like high fantasy that I've read were both YA. But I actually can't remember the last time I read an adult high fantasy, which is like a completely different reading experience, right? It's a bit more clever. It's a bit more like there's so many layers to it. There's so many different elements to it and relationships and politics. And I like, I can't remember I read, the last time I read a book like this and I'm really enjoying it. So basically in this, we're following a child named Fitz, who is the illegitimate son of the prince in waiting who eventually abdicates because of this scant, not abdicate, I don't know if that's the right word, but like steps out of line to become king because of this scandal. And we're following Fitz as he kind of grows up in the kind of like royal circle, it's called the keep. So he lives in kind of the area that they all live. He's being looked after by one of the prince's men, like the prince's previous men, but he's also starting to be kind of trained by different people. And that's not a spoiler, is it? Yes, okay, he's being trained as an assassin. Wait, the title is Assassin's Apprentice. Okay, yeah, so he's being trained as an assassin, but that's only really just started. Like we have a lot of him growing up and kind of it seems like he has magical powers that we don't really know much about yet, but he particularly has like an affinity with animals and kind of connecting with them, but it's something that the people in his life are trying to dissuade him from doing. Anyway, all that to say, I'm really enjoying it. I feel like I love being in a fantasy world like this. It's reminded me a lot of, this is YA, but Girl of Fire and Thorns, I think it's called, is a book I read ages ago. It's like a very old, not very old, but it's an older YA fantasy. I did a read along with Nicole from the book, she ran it and I co-hosted it and we read the series. I have, oh, can you see that? Yeah, Empire of Dreams is the new, that came out last year I think, that's like a spin-off of the series, but I really loved that series. Like in a way that I haven't necessarily connected to a lot of other YA series fantasy, especially it's older and it's kind of reminded me of it. It's got similar kind of like political maneuverings vibes, obviously in an adult version. And here's the thing, I was so nervous to read this book. Like I was very nervous because it is so widely loved, but I am really enjoying it. Like Aaron is kind of, I feel like, I don't know. I feel like I wasn't expecting to be enjoying it this much. Just like I am enjoying reading a book in this tone of voice, kind of this, you know, you know what I mean in like adult fantasy tone of voice. I haven't read anything like that in a long time and it's a slower pace, you know, you get the sense that this is the start of this entirely expensive world that Robin Hobbes books are. Now Aaron did say it's sad and I'm not ready for that because I am feeling quite attached to Fitz as a character. He's very endearing, I think. I like being in his head. So all that to say, I'm really enjoying it. I am just gonna read today. Like there's basically what I need to do. I've got a few other like admin bits I need to do. Maybe if I have time, I'll start editing this video. That's not happening. All right. And I've got the gym at two, but other than that, I just wanna read. So yeah, I have the audio book which is helping me along. But yeah, it's actually like I'm surprisingly really enjoying it. I'm on page 250. I'm still really enjoying it. It's like really enjoyable read. I would not be reading it this quick if it wasn't for the audio book though. I will say that. I will give it that. The one thing I would say is if you go into this thinking, I didn't go into this with this kind of assumption, but if you do, don't. Don't go into it with the assumption that like, oh, you know, it's a book about an assassin. It's like, action pack. Like it's not. Like this is a slow burn book. Like it's probably the most like non-actually assassin book to ever exist. Listen, it's one of those books where you read and you go, okay, Robin Hobb could write. Like I just need to, like Robin Hobb can write. It's got that kind of classical fantasy kind of tone. It's got so much depth to it. And you try to like bow down to Robin Hobb's like, excellence, but I really love the characters. My favorite character is Burrach. Burrach, I really like him. Sometimes Fitz is like, he's so mean to me. He likes to control me. But I don't know, I really like him. I think he's funny and he's caring and he's an interesting character. He's my favorite character so far. My only problem with this kind of book, I have this problem a lot in fantasy, is like, does this feel like a book in its own right? I don't know. Do you know what I mean?  You know, Robin Hobb, I don't know. I don't wanna know how many books Robin Hobb has that are in this series. I don't, hang on.  It's ridiculous. Whoa, I'm not looking at that anymore. Let's just forget about that, shall we? Could you just cut that out? So like, does this feel like a book in its own right? It feels like the start of the movie or the first episode of the first series. Do you know what I mean? So that is something that annoys me. I do like my books to feel like a self-contained story that really has like a full arc to it. And this just kind of feels like the setting up of what's gonna happen. But I'm still enjoying it. Like I'm literally reading this the whole day. I think I started it this morning and I will probably, I've only got about like two hours left to the audiobook. So I'm hoping to finish it tonight. It's still really enjoyable. I love the political maneuverings. That's my favorite thing in fantasy is like all this political court kind of intrigue and conflict. So yeah, like I'm enjoying it but I wish these kind of epic fantasy series. Like I do like them to feel like their own book that has its own identity. And I don't necessarily feel that with this but I am still enjoying it. It is gonna get a pretty high rating, I would say. On the grave, it cracks a thousand leaves Somewhere in past and our future rolling over. Okay, I have finished a stuff with apprentice. I just had sprints on my patrons ring the sprints and I finished it in it and I really enjoyed it. I'm gonna give it four stars. Now, here's the thing. It's another fantasy series on my roster that I'm currently reading but I really enjoyed it. I really loved, like I said, the slow burn of kind of understanding fits and getting to know fits and you know, his life and all the political elements of it. I love political court, maneuverings, drama. Like I love that in a fantasy. The fantasy and the magic kind of took a back seat in this book and I don't mind that. I actually usually quite enjoy that because I don't know, I just like all the sneakiness and people are like trying to get what they want and stuff. The one thing I will say is, whenever anyone, hang on, I've got, I just ate a hobnob.  Apologies, if you see anything in my teeth let's not talk about it. The one thing I will say is whenever anyone pictures this book, I'm pretty sure Aaron said this as well, like they say, oh it's so sad.  Not a single tear, not a single tear. And we all know I'm very susceptible to crying when I read a book. Like I will cry at the top of the hat. And I'm like, you guys were crying? Like what part were we crying at? Like there's moments where sad things happen but I can't imagine them making you cry. I just don't think I felt attached enough to the characters. So that's why it's not a five star. I don't think I was very attached. Like there were moments that were sad. Like I was like, oh no, like oh that's sad. But like I wasn't, I mean every one of these was gonna cry at that. And listen, I'm not stone hearted, I cried anything. Like usually I will cry at stuff people don't cry at. That's like kind of the only downside for me but I really love the slowness of it and I'm very excited to like read this whole fancy series. It's gonna take me until I'm 50. Like if we're realistic, I know some people have read like the whole thing. Like Nicole is very far through. Nicole I think is on like the 20 man trilogy or maybe even further than that. It will take me a long time but I am excited to continue on with it and I really enjoyed reading Robin Hobbs' writing for the first time. So I would do this a success. It now means that Aaron is on seven points total. So I don't think she can even beat Riley. Aaron is gonna come in third place of the episode he's done so far. But it's okay because I am enjoying it. Like we haven't done any duds. Honey, you've got a big storm coming. Yeah, even if this is five stars that will mean only 12 points. And I believe Riley, Riley got 12.5 if I'm remembering correctly, I could be wrong. But anyway, we're gonna start the devil in the White City next. You know, this is long which is a little bit intimidating for me. Like it's quite long, this nonfiction and I haven't read nonfiction in a hot minute like in a long time. All I know about this is we're following the serial killer and an architect around at the time of the Chicago World Fair. So yeah, I'm gonna go start it now and I'll check in with you probably when I'm about halfway because it's a nonfiction. I don't think there's gonna be like loads for me to say about my opinion of it. I, so, so, so everyone. I'm very bored. It's not having a job working 24 seven for two days on the trot. I look like a mess. I've just started my period. The bloating is real. Let's, okay. I feel rough first of all which could be coloring my experience of this but I don't feel like it is, but it may be. So take everything I'm saying with like a grain of salt.   I wanna do an effort but like that's harsh for a Booktube Twin Test. If it wasn't Booktube Twin Test and there wasn't, you know, points in the balance of this I probably would just do an effort. And I never do enough. I hate doing anything for videos at all in general but I'm so bored you guys. So we have many problems here. We have many problems of this book. First of all, this is a nonfiction book about the 1893 Chicago World Fair and a serial killer who operated in Chicago around the same time and killed lots and lots of women and got away with it for a very long time because of like, you know, how transient people were at the time, how easy it was to disappear, stuff like that. If this was just a book about the world fair would any of us be reading it? Would any of us be reading it? The answer is no. The answer is no. No one on Booktube would have picked this book up because the serial killer element is a bit as interesting. The true crime bit is a bit as interesting but this poor guy, this author, you can tell it's abundantly clear. He just wanted to write a book about the Chicago World Fair. Like that is what he cares about because that is where all the research is. That is where the majority of the book is. And I feel like his editor was like, we need something to spice it up. Let's mention the serial killer who's some of his colleagues happened at the same time as the author and he used his hotel to lure people in at the time that happened but he also killed way before it and after it. So like it's not really link but let's make that tenure a tiny link. Like the link between these two men and these two stories is like it's minuscule. It is minuscule. And I think for me a big problem is that I know about both of these topics. Like this is what's crazy is that I'm not enjoying it because I already know a lot of this stuff and so I'm kind of bored. But like it should be things I'm interested in but I don't feel like either of the stories are really going into that depth, that much depth. I feel like it's all kind of like surface level stuff. Like I've watched videos about the Chicago World Fair before because it's kind of the kind of history I'm interested in. I think Defunctland, if I remember correctly did a really good video about the Chicago World Fair and I've watched many a video on HH Homes who is the serial killer. I've watched like videos of his hotel like being reconstructed, stuff about the true crime and his story. So I've like consumed a lot of media about these two different elements already and I just don't feel like I'm learning anything new.  I'm so sorry, Aaron. Like I'm close, sorry. Like please don't get angry at me. Really, really sorry, Nicky. I'm really, really, really sorry. I didn't realize that it was, I'm sorry. Why are you laughing? I want to love it and I don't really understand why I'm not but I am so bored. Like I'm sitting there like falling asleep and like wishing I was doing something else in my time. So, and like it feels like to me a lot of what is said about HH Homes is like kind of made up. Like I'm like, how do we actually know that? Like the serial killer? I'm like, hmm, how, are we sure? Like it seems like a lot of hearsay, a lot of fictionalization for what is a nonfiction book. So I'm just not vibing. I'm gonna finish it for this video but I know the rating is gonna be low and please don't be mad at me if I very much skim read dress this because I don't want to read it for much longer. So I'm not sure I'll have much just because I've properly sat and like really read the first half, the second half is not getting that treatment from me. I'm sorry, I can't do it. So when I come back to you I'll probably just have a rating and a sad or about me. I don't think I'll be able to say much but I'm gonna finish it but like it's just not, it's just not giving what it wants to give. It's just not, I'm sorry. Listen, we don't even need to talk about it. We don't even need to talk about it. I don't really have anything to say. I read it, I finished it. Can we just applaud me for that? Like, I, my God.  I finished it and I'm so sorry.  I'm giving it two stars. Listen, it just, the further this went on the more my thought and belief and assertion that this was just supposed to be a book about the Chicago affair was validated. Like, there was hardly anything until right at the end when it was all about him. There was hardly anything about H.J. Jones, the serial killer. Like, we really forgot about him apart from saying, oh, you went to the fair. Did you know you went to the fair? Oh my God, can you believe it? You went to the fair. Like, come on, come on. I do not care about these old men making business decisions about the fair. Here's the thing, the fair is interesting, right? I have, again, go watch. I'll try and remember to link the defunct learned video on it.   I find it an interesting topic, but it just, I was so bored. And listen, again, I need to assert that some of this may just be me and my problems. And it may just have been a bit like wrong place, wrong time. Do you know what I mean? It just wasn't the right time for me to read this. And in another life, on another day, I would have enjoyed it.  I'm sorry, I did not care. I don't know, maybe the problem was is that I already knew stuff about this, but like, surely I should be interested to read more in depth about a topic I've already found interesting in the past. But like, I just didn't feel like it hit the right spot for me. And I don't really know why. And I don't wanna talk about it because I'm very sad.  I'm not gonna get back. So that means, that means at the end that Aaron had a total of nine points, which does per in third place out of the three episodes we've done so far. I'm so sorry, Aaron. I know you wanted to win. I didn't have the best luck with two of them. I'd say the mystery was enjoyable, but I didn't love it. Assassin's apprentice, I really, really enjoyed. And that I don't even wanna, I don't know why I didn't like that. But I really, I was just so bored. I've never been so bored. This is, I don't need, I feel like I need to justify why I was bored. And I don't. But like, it doesn't make any sense why I was bored and didn't like it. But it's the fact. I can only say how I felt. So yeah, I'm sorry, Aaron, but thank you for letting me test out whether we're Booktube twins. But in this case, we're not. In this case, we're not. In these three books, we weren't really Booktube twins. Thank you all so much for watching. As always, I love making these videos, Booktube twin tests, some of the most fun vlogs for me to do. There won't be one next month in December because we've got all of the Christmas content and vlogs coming. I've got so many Christmas vlogs planned. But yeah, thank you so much for watching. If you've gotten to the end, comment a dog emoji, because there's so many dogs in Assassin's apprentice. So many dogs. So comment a dog emoji if you've gotten to the end. Let me know any Booktubers you would like to see on this in the future that you think could beat Kayla, Riley and Aaron. Let me know that down in the comments as well. And thank you so much. I will see you very, very soon in another video. Bye.


I hope cheese is out of here. Colin Anthony Mark Doyle, full name. Cork Ireland. Peter Schmeichel. Halley Parade again. I hope cheese is out of here. Maybe Andy Cole. Mbappe. There you go. Wow. Yeah, international player France. I played against them. We lost to Nelson, but it was the year the Wonder World Cup as well, so the 2018. So, yeah, and back then. Wow. Wow, that's pretty impressive. Me boy keeps telling me that. I loved soups when it was on bosses. It's finished now. Cold player. Oh, I've got a few. Probably me go, it would be my way. Frank Sinatra. No. I did a few scoops before I started singing it. Put it that way. If we get promoted, I'll sing it. There we go. I just got back from Turkey. I wouldn't call it my dream holiday, but there's plenty of golf courses out there. So I played a few of the golf holidays there. No, probably Maldives. Not been. I don't know if you want to get out.


So one of the things that could be happening while you're writing your code is maybe you want to be able to handle those errors a little bit more Like say for example, you want to know what went wrong right now. We just catch it and we're like, oh, that's perfectly fine You know, we'll catch it done But maybe I want to I need to deal with that. I need to know what the problem was and in our Real-world example will see that in just a bit and so I can do that very similar to how I was how I imported Libraries or when I was opening files with the with statement I was using this term called as and Basically what I'm saying is when a thing is being created, you know importing a library opening a file Refer to it as in this case. I typically like to use E now That's again just a simple small little variable, but this variable That an exception has has two options. It has well it sorry it has a Message inside of it and typically this is the error message that we're dealing with Args at zero Right now for our error. It's not gonna have anything else But specifically that first option is gonna be our error You can see some little example code that I was debugging before I wrote I started recording That's what we're going to see inside of that message is now I can tell what the problem was And so maybe instead of my custom message that doesn't really provide Insight because I might need to be debugging why my code is crashing, right? I can come in and do a type on my message and I'll do the exact same thing For my error handling as well or my dividing by zero And so in this case I take this I run it We do our 10 now again if I type in the letter a that is We're probably gonna still get the error message that we've been getting and that's exactly it Now I get the literal just to scroll up now I get the literal error that we were seeing That was causing our that we saw when we are programs would crash, but now it's not crashing Okay, that's perfectly fine And we run this again and do the division by zero same kind of thing We're getting an error of and we're printing that error message

If you'd like to supplement your education and or pass your CPA exam to add those 10 per 15 points. So if you're a CPA candidate, I strongly suggest you take a look at my website. So what is the idea of stock dividend? Well, what's the idea of dividend in the first place? Let's review what dividend is. The company generate revenues and they incur expenses. And let's assume they generated a million dollars in revenues and 400,000 in expenses. They have a net income for this fictitious company of 600,000. Now what can we do with this net income? Well, the company can keep the whole thing. They can keep net income. They can keep it. And when they keep it, it usually sits. That's what they do first. It sits in retained earnings. So net income sits in retained earnings. And if you watch my cash dividend, they can pay some of that retained earning in cash. So they can pay some of the retained earning to the shareholders to reward them because dividend is paid out of profit to shareholders. So who gets the dividend? Shareholders or stockholders or the investors. Now what's gonna happen is that sometime the company wants to preserve their cash. So they have the cash, but they want to preserve it. But they still want to reward the shareholders and dividend, but they don't want to pay out cash. So what they do is this. They reduce this retained earning and they turn it, they turn it into additional stocks. So what they do, rather than giving you cash, what they do is they reduce retained earning. So they convert retained earning into stocks and they distribute the stocks to the existing shareholders. That's the idea behind retained earnings. So retained, that's the idea behind stock dividend. So they want to reward you, but they want to keep the cash. So it's a distribution of the corporation own shares towards the stockholders without receiving any payment in return.  And we're gonna see how specifically. Now, why do they give you common stock rather than cash? Well, they can, it can be used to keep the market price of the stock affordable. If they issue more stocks, and this is what happened, if we have more stocks, usually the stock price goes down. It's, it makes the stock affordable. That's one reason it provide evidence of management confidence that the company is doing well. So when you pay stock dividend, it means the company is so sure that it's reinvesting in itself. So what they're doing is they're taking the retained earning and the converted retained earning into common stock. And we'll see this once we do the journal entry. That's the idea. The idea is we have a lot of confidence in our company. We're gonna take the earnings and give it to the shareholders. So they can enjoy more benefit into the future. Now, from a stock dividend perspective, we're gonna separate the dividend into two type of stock dividend. We're gonna have a small stock dividend and we're gonna have a large stock dividend. And the way we account for those stock dividend is different. Now, how do we know whether we have a large or a small stock dividend? Let's assume we have a company with the total shares right now, total shares of stocks equal to 100,000. Now, the company is going to issue a stock dividend. Let's assume they issue, they issue 10, less than 25%. What does it mean, less than 25%. Let's assume they issue an additional 15,000 new shares. So they're gonna have a stock dividend and as a result of the stock dividend, they're gonna have 15,000 new shares. Now, let's see if we take 15,000 divided by 100,000. So they're issuing 15% new shares. Well, if the new distribution is less than 25%, is this less than 25%? Yes, 15 is less than 25% of the previous outstanding shares. Then we call this a small stock dividend. Now, what does it change if it's a small stock dividend? If it's a small stock dividend, we're gonna take the new shares that we're issuing and we're gonna multiply the new share. Listen to me carefully. I'm gonna change colors here times the market price. So the new shares times the market price is what we reduce retained earnings, okay? Now, let's assume we have a company. They have total shares equal to 100,000, just like the prior example. And let's assume the company is issuing 40,000 new shares. Well, if we take 40,000 divided by 100,000, they're issuing 40% of the previously issued shares. That's greater than 25. If it's greater than 25, we call this a large stock dividend. Now, what difference does it make? Well, we're gonna take the new shares, which is the 40,000 shares, and we're gonna multiply it by, and this is where it makes a difference from an accounting perspective, the par value, and that's gonna give us retained earnings that we are going to reduce. So we're gonna reduce retained earnings by the number of shares times the par value if it's a large stock dividend. Now, why am I emphasizing this? Because on the exam and specifically on the CPA exam, they don't tell you. They don't tell you it's a small stock dividend. They don't tell you whether it's a small stock dividend or it's a large stock dividend. What they do is they tell you we issued 15,000 or they tell you we issued 40,000, and you have to find out whether that amount is above or below the 25 to determine whether you treat it as a small or as a large. Now they will never ask you about 25 exactly. Okay, so this way in case you're wondering, what about it's 25? Then the company make their own judgment. Okay, so that's that. So let's look at an example to record a small stock dividend then we'll look at a large stock dividend. Quest has 10,000 shares, $1 par value outstanding. So they have currently 10,000 shares. On December 31st, they declared a 10% stock dividend. Well, if we have 10,000 shares times we're gonna issuing 10%. So we're gonna be issuing new 1,000 shares when the stock was selling at 15. 15 is the market price of the share. The stock will be distributed to the stockholders January 20th. Let's prepare December 31st entry. Now again, we're gonna have a declaration date, a record date and a distribution date, not a payment date, distribution. Payment when we have a cash dividend. Distribution is when we distribute stocks. The first thing is how much do we debit retained earnings? How much do we reduce retained earnings? We have 1,000 new shares and we're gonna multiply it by $15. Why $15? Because this is a small stock dividend. We multiply it by the market price. Therefore, we're gonna capitalize retained earning. The technical term is capitalized. It means reduce retained earning by 1,000 new shares times 15, 15,000. Therefore, now you should be familiar with this. We reduce retained earning by 15,000. We credit common stock dividend to be distributed or distributable for the number of shares, number of shares times the par value and anything left is paid in capital in excess of par value. So now what we did on the declaration date, we basically decided to reduce retained earnings. So let's take a look at what happened on the distribution date. So this is the declaration date. On distribution date is January the 20th. What's gonna happen? We are going to debit this account and by the way, this account is an equity account. Actually, let me just show you what actually happened before I move in here. Sorry. Thank you, Dela. So what's gonna happen is retained earning goes down which is an equity account and common stock dividend to be distributable and paid in capital which also our equity account, they go up. So equity went up, equity went down. Basically we're still in the same position. So when we distribute the stock, we debit common stock dividend distributable which is equity and we actually increase common stock. So again, one equity account goes down, another equity account went up. So basically we're in the same position. Now let me show you that we're in the same position before and after. So we're gonna look at before dividend on the declaration date, on the distribution date or payment date, should be distribution date and after the dividend. We had common stock, $10 power value, 15,000 shares, 15,000 shares of common stock of which 10,000 are issued and outstanding. This is what we had. Common stock, we're gonna look at this account, we're gonna look at paid in capital. So let's see what happened. Before the dividend, we had 100,000 shares, paid in capital was 8,000, we had retained earning of 35, we have total stockholders' equity of 143. On the declaration date, we added 10,000 to the common stock dividend distributable which is this entry here and we added 5,000 to paid in capital and we removed this, we added 15,000 and we removed it from retained earnings. So now this retained earnings went up and those two account went down. On the distribution date, we took this 10,000, we reduced common stock to be distributed and we distributed the 10,000 and after the dividend is paid, now we have 110 in common stock, zero common stock dividend to be distributed, 13,000, which is eight plus five, 13,000 of paid in capital and retained earning went from 35 minus 15 equal to 20, we are back to 15,000. So notice before and after, before and after the distribution of stock dividend, total stockholders' equity is the same and this is true whether we have a small or a large stock dividend, whether we have a small or large, simply put, total equity will not change. Basically what we did is we took retained earning as I told you earlier and we converted retained earning into common stocks. Let's take a look at an example for a large stock dividend. Quest has 10,000 shares, $1 par value comments. On December 31st, they declared 30% stock dividend. Notice they did not tell you it's a large stock dividend but we know if it's more than 25, it's a large. Sometime what they tell you, they tell you only 3,000, 3,000 shares. Well, 3,000 out of 10,000, it's 30%. So you have to determine whether you are dealing with a small stock dividend or a large stock dividend, the stock will be distributed on January the 20th. First, how much do we debit retained earnings? We're issuing 3,000 shares times the par value, the par value is a dollar. Therefore, we debit retained earnings by 3,000. So let's take a look at it. So we capitalize retained earnings for the minimum amount required by law. Usually it's the number of shares times the par value. Therefore, we debit retained earnings, we reduce retained earnings by 3,000. We credit common stocks to be this, we credit common stock to be distributed 30,000 under the chair. Now, then when we distribute the stock, we're gonna debit common stock, distributable 20,000, we credit common stock. So again, the same concept, equity went down by 30,000, equity went up, then equity went down again, then equity went up when we issued the stock. So this account will be technically gone. So basically what we did is we converted retained earnings of 30,000, we converted 30,000 of retained earnings under 30,000 of common stock. Notice if you issued it at par, there is no additional paid in capital. The last thing we're gonna discuss in this topic is stock splits. And basically what's a stock split? Stock split, it's a distribution of additional shares of stock according to their percent ownership. So basically here, they're not giving you new shares. Stock split is taking the same amount of shares and breaking down the shares into additional shares. So simply put a picture of this. For example, you might have one stock, one stock, and has a $50 par value. Basically what they do, they take this stock and they give you one, two, three, four, five different stocks, five. So your one stock is broken down into five stocks now and the par value equal to 10. So let's look at it. If you have one stock times 50, equal to 50, and if you have five stocks times 10, it's equal to 50. So you're in the same position, except you have more shares. Now the good thing about stock split, there is no journal entry. So let's assume you have a $20 par value, 100,000 shares. Let's assume the company had two, four, one stock split. So they will double your shares. So now what they do is they took the 100,000 shares, they gave you 200,000 shares and the par value went from 20 to 10. Now the same thing would happen if your stock was trading at $30, now your stock will trade at 15, because if I double the shares, I'm gonna have the half the price. So whatever happened to the share. So here, if they gave you, if the price was $100, now each share is worth 20, because they gave you five. Therefore you divide the price by five. So simply put, think of a stock split as a pizza, and as a pizza pie, okay? This pizza pie, if I gave you, I said I'm gonna give you one pizza pie, what I'm gonna give you eight slices. It's the same thing, because this is one, let me use a different color. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I can tell you, I'm gonna give you eight slices or one pizza pie, they're the same thing. I can also take those eight pies and split each pie into two slices, I'm sorry, split each slice into two pieces, and now you have 16 slices, 16 pieces, it's the same pizza, it's the same pizza. So whether I tell you it's one pie, eight slices or 16 slices, I can even take those 16 slices and break them down further, it's the same pizza pie. So this is how the stock split work. Let's take a look at the financial effect of dividend and stock split on the financial statements. First, let's take a look at cash dividend, which is a topic we looked at in the prior session. When we have a cash dividend, our asset will decrease because we paid cash. No change to liabilities, equity will decrease because we reduced retained earning, common stock is not affected, paid in capital is not affected, retained earnings affected. So on a cash dividend, what would happen is we end up debiting retained earnings, debiting retained earnings, which retained earnings goes down, which is equity goes down and crediting cash. So this is what happened in a cash stock split. We debit retained earning, we credit cash. First, we debit retained earning a credit, a payable, then debit the payable credit cash, but this is the final effect. So retained earning goes down cash, I'm sorry, cash goes down, I apologize. The investor's cash goes up, but the cash for the company goes down. Small stock split, notice assets, no change to asset. Asset is not affected, liabilities are not affected, even equity is not affected. All what happened is retained, let me just put it RE, retained earnings went down, common stock, and paid in capital went up by the same amount. So notice retained earnings went down and those two account went up. So this is, let me just put, this is retained earnings went down. Large stock dividend, same thing. Nothing happened to assets, nothing happened to liabilities, nothing even happened to equity. All what we did is retained earnings went down and common stock went up, that's all what happened. Stock split, no change to anything because all what you did is you took the same stocks and you broke them down into additional pieces.

What is going on guys welcome back to channel critical overload here since I'm on jeepers creepers 4 in this video here again today jeepers creepers We're born and yes as you see here. You're in the thumbnail. This is not a This is not a joke. This is very true and it's unfortunately real And I should have known because of some of the things I was being told by other people who were expecting to be involved in This project jeepers creepers 4 reborn It is actually stuck in legal trouble and it's been stuck in court ever since March of last year This has been going on since March of last year Now get into a little bit of more of why that's ironic after we read some of these things that pertain to the court hearing itself and The trial that's going on. This is still going on. It's not been settled which explains in the lack of news This is myriad pictures versus infinity films holding LLC And the case involves an alleged breach of right-of-first negotiation and last refusal for worldwide distribution rights to subsequent Productions of horror movie franchise jeepers creepers cross-defendant myriad pictures alleges in the complaint having a contract Alleging in the complete having a contractual right of first negotiation and last refusal for worldwide distribution rights to the subsequent productions Cross-defendant further alleges that defendants produced and filmed jeepers creepers 4 without cross-defendants knowledge or involvement Even though cross-defendant have been working with defendants to develop the sequels throughout 2018 and 2019 Once the film was shot defendants purported to extend to cross-defendant a right-of-last negotiation, which was ill is which was illusory because defendants had already granted distribution rights to cross-defendants competitor screen media so screen media is again in Some shady activities and what's funny here to me Well before I get into that the the people involved in this case are coming up and again This is all pertaining to jeepers creepers 4 and the fact that it was shot without knowledge of one party So the people involved in here you see oral film distribution infinity films holding chicken soup for the soul entertainment associated with screen media You see a JC P JC for IP LLC Independent frame LLC JC poor IP LLC oral film studios Jake Seale Kirk DeMarco screen media ventures Michael O Hovind myriad pictures now What's interesting about these things is that if you actually search some of these people on Google and just type lawsuit next to some of their names You'll see that these people have a history of being caught up in things like this What's ironic here and what's so funny is that this movie was announced officially back in February of last year through a variety article Where we learned that jeepers creepers reborn was supposed to be coming out in fall of 2021 now that was in February This has been going on since March now The thing about that is prior to that announcement in February It was in 2020 where this stuff started to gain some momentum Where we first started hearing that jeepers creepers 4 was in development And if you recall Kirk DeMico who is like I think the head of myriad pictures Myriad pictures who again is has been involved with the jeepers creepers films since the second one They were involved with the third one I never really caught on to the fact that they weren't factored into the fourth one which should have raised a red flag to me But Kirk DeMico when asked about it being in development in 2020 when those rumors started up He said that there is no truth to it He said that there is no truth to it now knowing what it seems is going on It seems that that that explains why he said that because one party Myriad pictures who I guess needed to know certain things before they went ahead and did this movie did not know anything So that's why this movie is now caught in this legal case. That's why we haven't heard anything about the movie That's also probably why the movie was able to be shot without anyone knowing about it given the fact that they Didn't bring back anyone memorable They didn't bring back Jonathan Brecht Gina Phyllis wasn't in it. The creeper does not look the same You do completely different makeup you had your own truck that you created that explains that too because I remember the creeper truck owner I did a video also Many many years ago like a two years ago at this point maybe why I stated that Maybe we would get a fourth movie in 2021 for the creepers 20th anniversary And that was because one of the creeper truck owners had put out a video Telling us that jeepers creeper sword was coming in that we just needed to be patient That's because these truck owners the people who have their trucks using these movies We're being told to keep their cars and their trucks in shape just be prepared and keep keep taking care of them So then when the news came out that the fourth one had been shot They were all surprised and taken back by that Jonathan Brecht was taken back by it Nobody really seemed to know how this came about when they were being told different things more importantly I'm talking about the creeper truck owners who were supposed to be involved with this production But now it seems that we know why because somebody went ahead Infinity films went ahead and put stuff together Got a movie produced without the knowledge of the other party Mary at pictures who again has been involved with the Producing of these movies since the second movie and it seems that they were going to be heavily involved with not only producing a fourth movie But they were planning to I guess produce a fifth film But infinity films went ahead and just for whatever reason left them out of the negotiations Didn't tell them about the production that was going on and this movie was shot in secrecy This is also probably why we got told at one point. I know I got told at one point To delete certain things not to share stuff. Everything was being overly secretive This is probably why Timo can't comment on anything and I'm not even all the way that convinced that Timo himself doesn't know about this Because it was all just too too bizarre to come across this and it kind of explains why this movie is up in the air The way it is. We don't have a release date. We don't have any real things going on That's because it's being held up in court And that's also because of the fact that for whatever reason they went ahead and did this movie without the knowledge of myriad pictures And I don't really know who has the who has the advantage right now in court I think it's myriad pictures, but it could be infinity films and Screen media and all those tied up with that that are coming to defend themselves against a plaintiff in this case myriad pictures I don't know what's going on My only thing here that I want to say is that I feel so bad for Jonathan Brick because once this is all said and done I don't think we will actually get this movie. Maybe we do maybe we don't I would hope that this movie doesn't come out at This point and the only reason I say that is because it seems that this movie was done underneath the table very shadily That's not even a word. I think shadily Sneaky Jonathan Brick needs to be the one back in the world as the creeper when this gets put put to rest if Victor Salva needs to negotiate something else where they can get away from screen meeting all these all this drama with the people Related to screen media again Just Google those names and put lawsuit next to it You'll see that there's a there's a few instances where these people have had similar things come up Infinity films being one of them caught in the lawsuit and screaming it always in these sneaky things going on and these Copywriting infringements and our property this is basically like a fraud case this whole Jeepers creepers thing But let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below I'll actually leave a link to it in the description so you can look at the case if you haven't already, of course Make sure you subscribe turn on post a picture and then miss the video in the description I have links to my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course limiters any movies news or views I'm gonna cover in the future with all that in my guys I will see you in the next video


sitting on an odd little motorbike sort of thing from the company Herbie and I'm with Peter Lee. Tell us about this. So Herbie is Samsung's urban electric. It's a lightweight personal electric vehicle. It's made out of aircraft aluminum and carbon fiber. Super lightweight. It folds up. Really compact. You can stick three of them in the back of a car. You can stick four in an Uber. I just lifted it. It weighs hardly nothing. Yeah, 35 pounds. We make it all here in Pasadena, California. Very nice. American made. Absolutely, yeah. So you showed me there's a couple of different models there. They're all cool looking.  So over there we have a basket on the back that actually folds up and you can use it as a shopping cart. I'll show you real quick. Evan can show you. Wait. He left me. Yeah. Okay. There you are. He just folded it up and it's a shopping cart now. Put you like a shopping cart. This is where you put your iPhone or iPad and also it charges your iPhone in your iPad. So as you're shopping you can flip through your phone to see how to make that one dish or what your shopping list is all about and it's really easy to open. It's patented. There you go. And now you can bike it on home. Yeah, it fits perfectly on the train on a bus. It's perfect for using public transportation and not having to use your car. I was thinking this would be great in New York. Oh, it's been huge in New York. We were in Brooklyn and people have been using it to get from Brooklyn and go across on the Brooklyn Bridge into Midtown and Manhattan. Actually on a Friday night at 7 p.m. we rode from Times Square down to Washington Square and it took us 14 minutes where Uber said it would take us 40 minutes and it would and there was surge charging 80%. Wow. Well, that'll pay for quite a few Irby's. Yeah. What is the range on this? The range is 20 miles. Yeah. And it charges in four hours in a regular 110 outlet. That's very cool. What's your top speed? Top speed is 15 miles per hour. That's terrifying. You shouldn't let me go that fast. Yeah. The acceleration, we've really keyed into making the acceleration really fun. So you get to 15 miles per hour really fast. It has a variable throttle so you can control your speed and if you ever freak out, you just put your feet down just like a chair. There you go. So how much is an Irby? Irby starts at 14.99 and then we have a 16.99 which is our black label which is a premium edition and has a sport tune controller and anonized black components. With really good Scotch or? Black label. Yes, yes. We love Scotch actually. And we're actually coming out with these really cool custom colors where the frame is hand polished and they're really bright, gold and red and blue. Those would be a little bit more expensive. That's very cool though. So you're making them stylish as well as very functional. Absolutely. And we've teamed up with a Seattle company called Ram mounts which makes the best mounts for your iPhone and iPad and it's taken their Irby to a whole other level. All right. Well, I think this is really cool here. Yeah, there you go.


addiction.  They really, you know, we form a support group here for linear time addictions anonymous. Ego-holics. Linear time of holics. You know, hi my name is Sonzo and I believe I'm a linear being. Hi, my name is Sonzo and I believe I'm a linear being. It could start off with that, where I used to say for course groups, people could go around the room, hi my name is Sonzo, I have a perceptual problem. And they, because everybody needs to be reminded that you could start out every group with just that.  You know, really, it's just swirling in the gap of unreal thoughts and really what you need is you need to come in and start to come clean. Hi, my name is Sonzo, I have a perceptual problem because how can you let go of a perceptual problem unless you first admit you have a perceptual problem? How does an alcoholic let go of the drinking problem, which really is just a symptom of just self-criticism, self-doubt and judgment, unworthiness.  How do I not think about this horrific world? Some people, you know, turn to drinking to divert their attention away from the world. Some people go to movies and get into other kinds of escapism. There's many ways to try to numb out or escape the intensity of the horrific sense of this world. But you have to first come to an admission that you have a perceptual problem and that will be the first major step in releasing your mind from the gap. If you, first of all, if you're perceiving a world that doesn't even exist and that's what we call hallucination in psychology and psychiatry, you're hallucinating your psychotic as a break from reality, right, and heaven is reality. So if you think you're somewhere other than heaven, that's a psychotic break. So you're hallucinating, psychotic, you're schizophrenic. You're schizophrenic too because that's a split mind. You hear multiple voices. We've been hearing a lot of multiple voices. We call them people. It doesn't even have to be like a beautiful mind when you saw that movie where you had these imaginary characters. We've got seven billion imaginary characters and that's a lot of voices. And if we're honest, most of us would say that we suffer from multiple personality disorder. Do you act the same around your parents as you do other people? You change completely like a chameleon. If mom and dad are around, that's multiple personality. You completely exhibit a whole new personality when you're around mom and dad than you are other people or around your family.   You're high behind the internet so you can curse people. You can go in chat rooms, take on an avatar, do all kinds of things. You can go in virtual worlds online and fly and do all kinds of things. But around mom and dad, it's like, okay, I'll do it. I'll do it. I said I'll do it. Because you don't want to rock the boat besides his mom and dad. They seem to bring you into this world. You better do what they want and it's all this people pleasing stuff packed in there too. So you can see, you have to start to come to an admission that you have a perceptual problem, that you're perceiving a fragmented world that, you know, you don't really see things exactly as they are that you actually need help. You need perception training. And how could you accept the help of perception training if you haven't first admitted you have a perceptual problem? If you if you are so convinced that your perceptual linear world is fine and dandy. It's just fine and dandy. It's good. How are you going to be open to help to heal it? If you already believe that it's good, the way it is, you know, in linear terms. So this this song and what we're talking about in the movies that we'll show and so are are all to just be reminders that that really linear time has never satisfied you and it's never you've never been really content with linear time. They used to tell me take the good with the bad. What kind of advice is that? That's terrible. Take the good with the bad. I don't want any to one. If God didn't create the good and the bad of the world, why would you settle for take the good with the bad? Make the best of it. Make the best of what? Linear time. How do you make the best of linear time?  Thank you. Make the best of it. I'll remember that one. Make the best of it. You know, just think of the most common things that we're told in this world.  I'll remember that.  You know, we have to learn to forgive the world. We have to learn to first admit that we have a problem going on with all this linearity before we can go vertical. Before someone who goes to 12 step program for Alcoholics Anonymous will call it. If they go into Alcoholics Anonymous and they sit there and they said, I'm not gonna really participate. I'm just gonna be an observer. I'm not going to participate in this. They got these 12 steps. I'm not gonna do them. I'm forced to be here. Court ordered me to come here. So I'm just going to just sit here and observe. And the other one else is high. My name's so and so and I'm alcoholic. You think they're gonna participate in that? No, I could admit that they're an alcoholic. You don't want to admit because part of them is attracted to the misery of the drinking and they, they don't even want to admit that they have a drinking problem. That's why we have alanon. We have groups for families of people where there's so much denial going on that nobody wants to admit that there's a problem. All right, I drink, I drink a lot. Okay, I pass out from time to time. Okay, I shot a few people when I brought it. I mean, it's just not really a problem. You know, it's the denial mechanism can be can grow quite strong. I can stop any time. I can stop any time.  And yet, the first thing of course comes, you have to admit that that there's a problem that you're powerless. You've been powerless over this problem. And you need help. And you can call it whatever kind of help you want. They don't even call it your higher power, whatever you want to call it.  And that's what we have to do when you have a linear perception problem. You have to come to an admission that it has been a problem. And that you need to have help to get out of it. You need a higher power help to get out of this linear perception problem. And to me, that's exactly, you know, you're saying I can't manage this anymore. I've tried my best. I've been using all these defense mechanisms. Look, okay, now I've been able to survive my body surviving, I learned how to work and earn money and spend money. And I know how to eat and I have to defecate and okay, all right, I got the body thing down. I'm surviving as a body. And the Jesus and the Holy Spirit are going, you think that's an accomplishment to survive as a body? That's you're in the gap. You're, you're perceiving your whole universe is in this tiny little spot of darkness that we need mind training to go higher and higher. You need to learn how to be a miracle worker. You need to learn how to think in miraculous ways to lift yourself out of this linear perceived linear darkness. And that's what that's why we're all here because we need new tools. We've been using the other tools to survive as a human being on planet Earth. And meanwhile, we've got a soul sickness going on, because our soul is not at home here. And it's yearning like ET to go home. You know, that's what ET wanted to do. He was never satisfied on Earth. You know, he finally he just says, phone home, phone home. He kept telling the little boy, and a little boy finally joined with him and said, Okay, let's get this done.  And then his little bicycle took off in the air. Isn't that great? If we are willing enough to go for home, the true home, our little bicycles will go up into the air, you know, or whatever means we have will will be lifted up towards this goal because that's really the only goal that we is worthy of our holy mind is to go home.
