Hey, man, Anthony. I'm good I appreciate you asking and I'm happy to be on here with you brother and so appreciative of The movement that you're helping move so I'm grateful. Thanks be a part of that today Yeah, so you actually got to see the make them and great again movement. I got going last year I'll start off with that You know you saw the trailer for that some of the newsreels and the the commentary on that What was your first response to that your first reaction to make them great again? It's a great question. I don't remember watching it to be honest with you. Okay Please don't take that personally. I think my I see too much stuff and it's been a little bit of time Yeah So on that note, let's get in your channel a little bit. Actually, this is a big channel man I've been watching this for years and I did want to ask you because it wasn't always like the statire You're a comedian these days, but you started off as a more serious left coach Talk to me about that your transition your trans moment in life there with that. Yeah, so I'm trans serious I used to be serious now. I guess I'm I'm not but yeah, so I've been making comedy videos for Seven years give or take For that as you mentioned I was a life coach so working with people what I'm on and teaching workshops retreats things like that in a very sincere way and that transition it Back up a little bit right before the transition First I realized who I really am you know, I I was in a phase of self-betrayal where having a You know an active sense of humor, you know a well-developed sense of humor That's something that's always been there in my personal life, but in my professional life. I Was suppressing that I was constipating that I was not being true to myself.   Yeah, absolutely So I'm worse than making up that story is I believe the story nobody did it to me I did it to myself, but then My transition period I kept having An idea come to me to make one comedy video and it was you know, trying to convey a very real concept Just through the language of humor. I'm like then I don't know how to make comedy videos But like you know if I did like making a comedy video the old discredit me as a life coach and probably wouldn't even be funny worse Even worse than that is maybe it would be funny man. I'd be discredited more But you know when you've got a force of nature coming through you you can resist it for a while But nature is gonna win and in I think part of nature is one's creativity. So I've been Constipating that for a long time, but just like if a woman's giving birth She can try not to for a while, but maybe it's coming. So my baby came I made the comedy video. I think all right Make one it probably won't be good for business, but I'll just make one And I made that and it woke something up inside of me Did it take off to did it go viral right away or no? Yeah, the the first one actually did Which is just like I mean what are the odds not very good It was on YouTube for about a week got a few hundred views, which actually to me that was viral at the time Yeah, but then it really went viral someone Literally stole it off my YouTube channel uploaded it all over Facebook and then various other pages Put it on their Facebook and there it was getting like millions of views but so that was external validation that that was meaningful to me at the time and More importantly as it woke something up inside of me, which was me waking up to like a part of me that Was ready to arrive and the blockage the constipation. Yeah, it's going away absolutely, and then Then just fast-forwarding I made that one video and then like three weeks later ahead. That's like amazing idea Maybe I could make another video and then with no plan where it's gonna go or no plan for it to become anything big or a business or like Let's really reach the world and help better the world through this mechanism I just kept going one step at a time no idea where I was gonna go But doing my best to follow my heart as I went along Yeah, it's worked out pretty well for you man looking at a gold YouTube button behind you there That's a very nice button. It's bigger than my button I'm surprised you noticed Anthony given that I centered that right on the screen. So yeah right on your shoulder Yeah, I'm kind of embarrassed that you saw what I was trying to I have my little silver one over here. I got two of them actually so, you know I only have one channel, but I told him I broke it because I dropped it one day It didn't break, but it almost digs. It's the old glass one. I was like I need to back up in case I do break it Yeah, I hid one of those old glass ones, too And man, I think you're you're better off now because I make them better now. Yeah. Yeah So you mentioned you're a constipated Let's back up here. Is this like an emotional constipation a spiritual constipation that you had like is I know you're kind of teasing But kind of not there's probably something behind that need to talk about that a little more. Yeah, you know I think both spiritual and emotional.  It was having this Fictitious idea about who I'm supposed to be in life Which had no correlation to who I actually am or who I'm meant to be but it was just an idea I had in my head So it's this weird scenario, you know, it takes hindsight to see it but in hindsight I can see like oh, yeah, I was Not letting myself be my true self. I was constipating myself in order to be Who I thought was supposed to be and I think a life lesson I've got I I don't think it applies to judge It's a bit universal but one of our biggest obstacles in life is Who we think we're supposed to be becomes a chief obstacle for us being something far greater than that which is who we really are And you're saying that the vibe I'm getting to is it like that is constructed by the people around you and culture society You know stuff like that even a family and friends to an extent, right? Yeah, so pressures that could mold you Yeah, for sure and I'm all about self-responsibility So, you know end of the day me and hopefully everybody else could say like that's my fault That's my perception of everybody's expectations around me. That's I'm the one that recorded it and and yeah, they might have been Strong expectations and pressures, but ultimately that's on us So because you accept it you accepted their per perception here, right? Yeah, absolutely And we're only human.  I mean, especially when we're young. We're so suggestible But absolutely that comes from Everybody around us who we're supposed to be and you know, one of the things that I so love about your work, which is You know, you're how I would encapsulate your work Anthony in a in a word is you teach people to be strong Yeah, and all senses of the term now, I Didn't have that like what I Like it is a teenager. I read in then early adulthood. I remember thinking like as a man I'm supposed to be sensitive and just through I don't know It was is it cultural Marxism or is it just reading too much spirituality and not Rolling in the mud enough not doing enough to Jiu Jitsu, but I had in my head like man Men that are like tough and like they can scream they can get pissed off They can be fierce. I did my head like that's toxic masculinity. I mean Your hat says it all. Yeah, I did in my head and I'm like, look, you know It's one who can be vulnerable who can be sensitive and yeah now I can look at that say a real man is one who can be vulnerable and sensitive and A real man is someone who can be fierce like a lion to a real man Isn't just one side of that polarity a real man has access to both of those resources Yeah, so as it as I had it with my Programming that I had about who I'm supposed to be I thought to be a real man Like I was running programming that was like encrypted with like here's how to not be a real man But that's what I thought I was supposed to be to be a real man Yeah, I would say a lot of its culture Marxism and feminism and stuff So she looks super super hyper radical feminism that's been around for the past 10 20 years Yeah, and it's just it's very confusing to men and women both, right? It teaches men tack like women women tack like men I do agree that you're saying that the many to be able to tap into both You should be this super strong as strong as you can be within yourself, right? But also you should be emotionally connected to like what you're feeling rather than just blocking all of it Like this huge constipation and some guys who struggle with that, right? They've been lean too far on this cartoonized toxic masculinity.  Yeah, I love that Yeah, well, I'm honored by that and you know, I'll Something I want to share about that If someone's been following my work for, you know over two years You know that about a year and a half ago my work took a massive shift I would I would call it an expansion where the mission completely changed Mission's always been about using comedy to help awaken people But you know when when we start realizing oh this pandemic Nothing to do with the virus Yeah, it's One of the layers of it is all about eroding human freedoms So when I start to realize that the mission of my work just changed It's like I've you know, I just learned my first son is on the way at that time and it just Like something woke up inside of me then just like I have to make the world a better place for my son I have to do everything in my power It might be just my small way But I have to do everything in my power not to mention wanting to make the world best place possible for me family and Everybody else that I know and people I don't know so it became all about Freedom freedom is my number. Oh you but I never had a problem with freedom My freedom has never been taken away and people I know like their freedoms were never taken away last year Got crazy. I mean it we've really I'm only 32. I've never and even a 32 never seen anything like that in my life You're 41 42. Yeah, I'm 40 40. Yeah, it's the last year is insane.   That's just kind of like the my fictitious Thought back before I started comedy like dude doing comedy would be bad Business.  I was Just had the honor of being Tony Robbins guest at his date with destiny event in West Palm Beach, Florida and my wife and I were there They'll put front row literally the best seats in the 8,000 person arena. I just such a Yeah, so grateful for him extending that invite But my point being at that event I got in touch with a need that I had in order to up level not just as a man But as a human and the biggest need I walked away with knowing is I need to be more bold So I walked away just like I like let's call a spade a spade.  Yeah It is when you find your beta shit, which by the way any man man watching this I'd ask you like what's the beta shit you're wearing that you're not aware of I think it's a question to ask and when we find it It's like looking down and say oh I've had I'm still wearing children's underpants like I've outgrown them.  So what kind of beta jail are we in and unless someone thinks they're the ultimate well-developed human?  That's your jail right there But unless you're truly that human we can all ask ourselves a question like where do I still have some beta energy? Where's my next level to outgrow? So I realized I need to be more bold and I really committed to that and Then I had no idea life was setting up like a cool and Not not just like the training ground to test your boldness, but all like the actual battlefield Yeah, your boldness didn't know that was coming but it was dude. I had the same thing last year I had the same kind of in my own industry in my community That's managed for a thing where my channel is a big thing at 21 studios 300,000 subs, you know 7.8 million, but it's pretty big for what it is a lot of content, right? Yeah, so it's the last year I started the make women great again convention That's what that is it's called the 22 convention But the tagline is make women great again Elliot was one of our top speakers his speech was make women wives again Mine was mine was motherhood first like America first motherhood first It was kind of you know fun stuff But it's a three-day event and the media when that's over it I remember watching that the clip the whole media class But that was the boldest thing I've done in my life and I had a lot of respect from that from friends Not really family so much, but they got they went under attack. They were in docs by these feminists and stuff Because of death threats I got I mean the media was after me and the speakers Nasty and but it was right before the two so it was January February right before the March and everything But nuts the whole one crazy So it's like all the attention was on us. It's like a hundred million people have reached But that was like the biggest bull's move of my life and I realized it was a ton of fun I was stressful like you know the the intensity of it at peak like peak woke mob But I loved it and I was like this is what I need to do right like, you know all the media and stuff That's gonna fit you know That'll fade eventually 15 minutes of fame But this is definitely like what I really believe in what I want to do even though it's tongue-in-cheek and really funny I mean that's that's part of people don't even know if it was real or not The number one Google term for it was like is 22 convention real because it couldn't believe it was a real thing Kind of like you would do right for something like this guy for real or what the fuck? Yeah, so and I'm I mean first off a man It takes a lot of boldness to do that. Thanks. Love that congratulations And what do you I'm curious just in your internal life or maybe external What do you think pushed you over the edge of like breaking the previous membrane so that you could enter that more expansive expression of your boldness Yeah, I would say we had there was some business fights ahead in 2019 So we had a we had a three-way companies You can imagine a newer company that I've earned my current business like 15 years But there's a newer company like most partnerships, of course everyone to tell you this like they blow up much here, right?  We ended up kicking out of the company attorney and stuff anyway, that was 2019. That was a very tumultuous to much where that word is turmoil filled year and we did three events to which is unusual for us That's usually do one or two and it at three in 2019. We didn't one for fathers We did one in Poland, which is a European event and then one in Florida So it was a very is super busy year producing a shit ton of content these events Elliott came out for the first time third events in the spring for the father event so it's like a very big new year with a lot of stuff going on and in public and in private with the fights and I guess being just I was 31 points So like hit my 30s, you know hidden that stage in my life this new decade feeling like more of a man Even if this numerical and then the fights there was the most intense fights in my life People are really trying to hurt the business in like really serious ways and I had to fight them and win so that proceeded to make them a great again thing and I kind of just had the I Guess the trauma from that just up my game to the next level and then it's like what's next? Let's do this and I almost started that event 2019, but we did the fatherhood event for the first time So that was taken priority So yeah, I don't know if that answers your question, but yeah, yeah It does I mean what comes to my mind is the analogy like you getting in the ring with Mike Tyson You know back when he's in this prime you're sparring with him and There's intense fight probably gonna get beat up You're coming out with some bumps and bruises for sure. Yes, but are you gonna be a better boxer? Oh, yeah All right, so that encapsulates everything I just said in like two seconds.  Yeah, I say I was good stuff. I can relate when back in early January I mean it was maybe a day after the January 6 like Insurrection like Fucking capital gets stormed so she can you know run her script There was a really really intense focused woke mob out to can't name just everything they can do and It amazed me like a handful of people would have this much time on their hands just exquisitely fascinating and and they Like there there was some fear for sure and they're they got a couple sponsors to drop me They got my book publisher to drop me and behind doors. I'm talking with you know, the You know these couple companies Sponsors that drop me and they're like tape you we love your content so it's for you But fortunately these people are making our lives living hell and as a gap I don't like your decision, but I understand. Yeah, so I I was worried and But that was a fight like it was It was like I weathered it and I came out on the other side is oh woke mob. Guess what I Just became more of what you don't like Because of you they fed the monster. They fed the monster. Yeah, I'm Stronger and I'm so much so much more fearless like I I do have that Reality now like oh like I live through the threat of All that I have and have accumulated being taken away from me and like guess what it was stressful and I realized It's gonna be okay. Yeah, never take away from me. What really matters Yep, and when you're working with someone or looking at someone who's got nothing to lose They're dangerous.   He only has one gender.   Oh, yeah See, you're not a Florida man like me though. I'm a Florida man. Which is like another additional Villainess term, right? That's what they were on Reddit It went viral that make women great again event because it was Florida man Like Florida man makes make women great again, which is real. I'm a third-generation of flirty and yeah, it's just convenient That's names Johnson to which is kind of nice.   Yeah Just got a look at the draw Florida man Johnson throwing make women The last thing I'll add though is like you I started my business in my channel in 2007 2006 technically and It had nothing it was mostly just pick the part of stuff It was self-improvement for young men a little bit of fitness But mostly like this how to talk to girls right and then it evolved over all these years into being for men And then for fathers and then for women, but also during that time since 2006 2007. That was the Bush administration It's like ancient history now, right? But I've seen that I've seen the country get super hyper Polarized and hyper politicized and all this and that's really I'm unlike you Maybe I'm just tired of watching my country fall apart right on every level.  Family stuff a lot of times at the father event So I guess I see I saw the opportunity to die more heavily into these areas more aggressively and Someone needed to write no one was doing a make-up a great again event But I noticed that when I put this this notice out to the world You know the news went nuts and the York Post and your times like no one seemed to approve of this Which made it a really good thing the fake news they hated it. So basically all that outlets that are there I say consistently poisoning and perverting our society with What Marxism they're bought and paid for agendas in New York Times just all them. It's like dude if you have their disapproval Okay, you're doing something really well. I I'm a Part of the black rifle coffee company. It just okay love these guys. Are you aware of them a little bit people are People are accusing me now.  They love freedom and they're they're fun-loving guys They're just they're awesome They they've They've served in the military put their lives on the line for our freedom. So freedom is pretty damn important to these guys and that's what their company stands for and Whatever it was a week or two ago. The New York Times wrote a hit piece on black rifle coffee and like surprise surprise. They're not a woke corporation towing the line of the Marxist narrative that Some corporations like to do so it's not that I'm like, dude What a compliment the New York Times doesn't approve of who you are, which means who you are is Probably great. Yeah. Yeah, those people all just have terrible values and the organizations are just falling apart It's sad man. We were kids. It was different a little bit at least right and I think it's just gone off the rails past 10 15 20 years something like that. Yeah, it seems like it to me and whoever the powers that be are that are, you know feeding the CNN New York Times like where where those agendas come from and obviously they're very common agendas the Biden administration agendas so There's no coincidence. They're all preaching the same shit and like classifying misinformation is the same thing But who so whoever's behind it and by the way, I realized When when it comes to nefariousness People who derive power in those ways They're more powerful being in the shadows So we could look at like dude. No, Biden's the evil guy or is it Bill Gates? Oh, she's like, well, those are people in the light like I was like barely awake You gotta be kidding me see sleepy Joe for real they're doing weekend at Bernie's with him He probably died a year and a half ago for all we know. Yeah, so whoever's behind that like Just to your point Anthony the past Year and a half these people have been Pushing such a hard controlling anti-freedom pro-communist Marxist narrative so hard so fast that to me They are doing a great job of waking people up They're coming on so strong. So it's almost like they're playing poker and it's like oh Motherfuckers your cards are facing outward. We see what's in your hand I mean look at look at how me and you as youtubers like yours a lot bigger But we both have big channels and you know, you're 10 years ago I was not making content like this on my channel, you know a couple years ago You were not being as aggressive as you were now these issues Even you know, like you said you're in half ago.  It's sick man. Check out this comment. By the way, someone dropped M. Egan Hey, JP. I lost two friends by forwarding your hilarious videos to them serious 30-year friendship Man I'm in one thank you for sharing that and I'm one part sorry for your loss But also another part I would suggest anytime You lose a friendship over Differing points of view is never a friendship in the first place. It was an acquaintance ship I have a one of my dear friends here in Austin Just to you know share what I think is a real friendship, you know He voted for Biden. I didn't vote for Biden I truly think that's the most destructive vote one votes counted but You know, we were sit around before the election discussing our votes and he shared I'm he's voting for Biden I shared cool. I'm voting for Trump. It's like but cool. Love you, brother. Like that's a friendship Yeah, if I if yeah, if we lose friendships over Any kind of what a political point of view? A point of view over what's hypocrisy? What's deviousness of food religion point of view? It's like man, they weren't it was an agreement based Equationship not a friendship based on accepting people for who and how they are. Yeah, I think I completely agree Yeah, I've I've lost unfortunately what I thought was a friend like that or two over the years It's pretty rare But every once in a while something that happens to me too last year I lost a friend over the BLM stuff I thought was a friend.  It just completely like he saw what I was posting He texts me about it. I could tell he was pissed and he just stopped responding And we haven't talked in over a year now and we used to talk all the time and we'd see each other and you know Florida So I don't get too far into it as personal But it was surprising and that's only the second time in my adult life I've seen something that happened because I'm pretty open about who I am and more so as years go by right as I get older and More masculine less beta. Yeah, let's say more alpha But but I agree with you. It's good when that happens because it shows you it's like alright that friendship wasn't as Durable or as deep as I thought it was and this is I don't care if someone likes BLM I hate BLM stuff.  They'll see something I post and They'll say GPS how you posted this I'm curious why do you think that and you know with a friend. It's like cool I have time for dialogue with friend not yeah, sure thousand YouTube comments And I love that what they they get to hear my point of view and I get to understand better They're opposing point of view and sometimes one of us changes a little bit and other times is like all right cool Like that's what you think and I'm glad to know it and here's what I think. Thank you for respecting Yeah, which by We one of them Let's just get on the soap back at box Anthony and pretend like we're gonna solve the world's problems Okay, I think one of the world's problems is With it kind of the proverbial we somehow Expects everybody to unite into a common point of view and I think that's Absolutely fantasy land, you know like the left would be like you get on it's all need to like again Tear down the murder American flag just fly your pride flag and just do all this No, what does the left say now they want to they want to reconcile or they want to like forcibly like what is the word they use They want to like you know I'm talking about there with they want to like amend or like Biden's using it for a while I can't think of the word right now You don't talk about I don't Fuck I'll think of in a minute, but it's it's been a meme because it's so ridiculous like Oh, you know that they talk about, you know they want to the left wants to like fight and burn stuff down all this crap and then I I'll think of in a minute. It's slip slip of the tongue cool. Yeah. Well, let me know in my point Being like or the right is like no like everybody needs to think this way like I think it's so unrealistic to believe that Everybody will unite under a common point of view and by the way, I think that's really crappy I think we get balanced by having posing points of view and I think we all have one point of view chances are It's not the right point of view. So it would be like screwed in a really powerful way But I think the the path of world peace isn't when we all unite under a common point of view I think it's when we accept each other Knowing we have different points of view Yeah, it's like I I think for the most part all same people want the same thing they want happiness and You know love for them in their family And I probably want to be left alone a little bit. Yeah, hopefully they're not too far down the communist track. Yeah But but yeah, and but then how we get there That's where we can have it's like we agree on Actually, we agree on the most important things usually about how we get there as you like when we can really get disagreeing but yeah, I think having expectation like dude We're always going to have different points of view and it's actually okay if we can stop burning down businesses when Something happens that we don't like It'll probably be a good thing. I thought of the word now unity It's it's not united. It's not reconciled to unity the left one's unity. Oh for months there Biden was talking about this. They're all talking about this We're going to have unity now that biden one are going to have unity It's just creepy like we're going to have unity It's like no, man. I don't want to you.  We're going to have unity. It's like yeah We'll divide human connection teaching human connections bad to help facilitate unity And we'll get critical race theory taught in schools so that you can start to judge people based on their skin color Rather than the content of a character By the way, we're going to implement the black national anthem than the regular national anthem before nfl games Because that segregation Is how we get unity. Well, dude a woman a woman, bro Rest my case You mentioned the fantasy land and I agree it's it's delusional the expectations That we have when you have hundreds of millions of people living in an area or billions if you look at like You know continent or you know throughout the world Of course, you have millions of people different opinions And then you're going to stick them in a geographic area and have them vote on something. It's like Yeah, not everyone's going to agree. It's delusional to expect that, you know Yeah, and I think we need to temper the two-year-old Yeah, I'll temper tantrums that come out and you know, I love to poke fun at the woke left and you know, the right does it too. It's just like It's kind of burning down buildings, but It's like we we need to be adult and Respect when other people have opposing points of view and be like cool like I'm gonna stand in my sovereignty and Review and I love and respect you as my neighbor Even if you paint your house a different color than what I want I feel like is it just me or if like all the all the adults in america just like left over the past 20 years Like they're just all gone Politics is an obvious one, but it's not just that You know celebrities like, you know, even celebrities used to be more respectable and like keep quiet about stuff Almost like a um Keanu Reeves type, you know, that's that's like really rare today. He keeps his opinions private about stuff I I think you're right and I wouldn't be surprised if social media is a part of that where 20 years ago a celebrity didn't have the chance to get on there and be a moron trying to virtue signal to like Stay in good standing with china who's funding their Fucking movie Or just to get virtue signaling points like hey guys, I just want you to know i'm non-binary We got a question by the way from youtuber richard gran and he's a psychology guy. He's got about 300 000 followers awesome guy At least one of her speakers to give him a So a question for both of you. Do you think there's a spiritual component to this culture war? jp Yeah, well be curious your answer as well anthony. Um, I do I very much too I think luke skywalker needs darth vader. So I think at a spiritual level we look at Quite frankly the evil that's happening in the world. I think evil that's um flowing the culture war and We can look at that and say like dude, what a curse we're living with this evil and you know And that looks really powerful you get, you know really powerful nefarious people behind it They've got key people in positions of power and political influence That's a curse And from a spiritual perspective my belief is it's a blessing like what a What a powerful weight to lift I think the we all have Huge potential for strength within us at all levels physically, but just as a physical metaphor Your physical strength Will Not be expressed as greatly if you don't lift heavy weights, but when you lift heavy weights That gives your body a reason to Express strength and develop strength that you never knew before it's in your potential field. So at a spiritual level think our For us to realize our jedi-ness our true nature our connection to truth and willingness to serve it We need the dark vapor that's coming out in the cultural culture wars So like at a one level I can sit here and say like I'm grateful for it And at a different level I'll Not be grateful for it I'm just with you. Yeah But yeah, I'm curious Yeah, sure, I was gonna say we live in interesting times I mean it it's an amazing time to be alive for real You know in some ways it's it's amazing right all the technology and all the travel you can do around the world So easily never before right I mean, I just I just traveled on the u.s Recently I was in utah the other day I was in texas like all over it's so cheap and easy But then also we have all this weird stuff like we have the trans stuff and hyper radical feminism and marxism and communism These are things that the founding fathers even of american enough to deal with right or any you know humans before them so In exchange, we have toilet paper though cell phones internet, you know, we have nice things So yeah, it's a bit of both. It's a blessing and a curse right to be alive now Yeah, as far as spiritual component. Oh hell, yeah I was recently tweeting my savage tweets on my little twitter account It's funny the company has like a much bigger following and I have a personal following that kind of stems off of it So I'm just like even more just unfiltered let's say But I was tweeting Pretty tame for me.  You want to be you and build all this awesome stuff That's what I do. I love building things building conventions videos Working with speakers like you and ellie hulls to make even more videos right and get Get what's in your soul and your mind out to the world in your heart So yeah, there is a big spiritual component to the war 100 percent Absolutely, and and I think something you and I absolutely have in common When we're doing our work, whether I'm building videos Building stand-up comedy routines or on stage or you're building events. You're putting speakers together doing this show We are both serving A truth greater than ourselves. We're contributing to what our hearts 100 percent believe and are connected to Is a mission greater than ourselves? and And I think that is one of the most spiritual things we could ever do and You know, I think the old paradigm of spirituality is like we'll sit under a tree and meditate I think the new paradigm of spirituality is hey motherfuckers Practice time is over the most spiritual thing you can do is get in touch with your fucking purpose and then serve it And I think that's what we do Yeah, man 100 percent. Fuck. Yeah, I love it man. This you remind me of elliott a lot when I first met elliott I really didn't know what to make of him. He's into some weird stuff over the years, right?   I love that. Yeah. Yeah, me too. Yeah, it's awesome It's so it's refreshing to be around, you know it is So we're running out of time. We've got about 13 14 minutes left something like that I do want to ask you a few more specific questions here So number one, have you been inspired by any comedians in particular person? I'm a fan of george carlin old school bill bur Do you have any favorites that inspired you for how you Uh, your skill set today to be a comedian Yeah, well, you know old school my biggest inspiration is a guy named bill hicks. Have you heard of him? I've heard of him. I think I think I've probably seen a little bit. So he was a George carlin esque.  I just I got into bill hicks before george carlin That's why I bring bill up before george carlin So bill hicks really he was the first one. I saw Doing comedy for a purpose greater than just making people laugh And I love that. I Really inspired me it planted seeds. I mean, this is back in probably 2004 2005 I saw him long before he was doing comedy, but they're when it first saw his dvds but it planted a seed and Nothing wrong with just making people laugh for that world needs more laughter, but yeah, but the deeper mission is is just amazing um, and then, you know nowadays I love dave chappelle You know, it's he can get a little woke.   I love his perspectives But he is first off like he's probably the person in the Culture of zeitgeist who is the least cancelable? Like he was the first one doing jokes about the The bs around identity politics like even back a few years ago. I was like I was literally telling friends like no I I won't make jokes about that like us Oh, we're there. Yeah, it's gonna be a few years and now I do but dave was leading the way So I I think he is he's not a comedian anymore. He's a philosopher who does comedy and I say that as like dude, that's a That's a great thing.  Best best comedy sketch show. Maybe a best comedy show period of all time. Yeah agreed agreed Yeah, genius genius man genius Okay, so bill hicks and dave chappelle. I'm a big fan. Yeah, I'm a big fan of chappelle and I'll look into bill hicks I know I've seen the name like a thousand times probably. Yeah, I I think if I think he's got a few of his specials on netflix And again But I highly recommend everybody check out bill hicks and just a reminder He died in 93 so a lot of his comedy that you'll be watching is either from the very early 90s or late 80s So just political references when he's talking about george bush.  Yeah, recently over the past year year and a half.  It's so academic It's like trying to digest a brick in order to get mineral nutrients or no So I love to read other authors Versions of carl yung's work. So there's a union psychologist named james hollis My favorite author. He's a beautiful writer yet brilliant thinker and you know brings his own thinking to the tables Not just trying to academically regurgitate yung, but he's a union psychologist. So You know, uh, I love his stuff and then, you know, honestly some of the classics like a cartole I mean it The power of being present is so powerful not as an end game But just like as one of our stages is of stages of development. So Yeah, I love him If we can call him a philosopher Yeah, sure. Yeah, for sure Uh, next question I'll ask you you mentioned that you became, uh, you know, a father not too long ago You have uh, you have a son one year old or something like that. Well, he had wilder He's seven months old Okay. Wow. I'm really happy for you man. That's awesome. Oh, thank you.  I love So my question is how is becoming a father and husband changed you as a man and as an entrepreneur? How's it influenced you? Yeah, incredibly and powerfully How's it it's made me more of who I am it's made me um Bigger faster stronger If I could say that as an entrepreneur, I'm it's like I'm Yeah, it's like having a reason like providing for my family and also modeling for my dad Fulfilling his purpose and serving something greater than himself. I just I have way more voltage going to that in business and purpose I did before and I had a lot of voltage before so it's just been up and You know something about becoming a father for me is It's made me more whole. It's like there's there's resources in me That we're there. They're dormant. They're part of humankind part of being a man But we have a lot of resources that don't come online until we need them and becoming a father is Brought resources online that I I didn't know we're there because like I hadn't lived them. So having those resources come online. I feel Much more of a whole man Than I ever have before and part of that Is providing for my family which then extrapolates into my business like the past you feel do you feel more focused? I feel way more focused.  It'll that will hurt my business.  Yeah, I noticed this right away talking to your assistant once we talked to Vanessa I think it's her name And I could just tell the way you were I just got the vibe the way you had spoken to me and then she had spoken to me I was like this dude is super fucking organized Which I love like I'm nowhere near that myself But I aspire to be more and more over time and that has been the course of my life Slowly right bit by bit. I started my business at 17 years old So I like to think I'm more I think I like to think more organized at 32 and 17 obviously, right?  I think at this point is freedom Free speech and fun if that if that's correct Talk to me about we talked a little bit about freedom earlier in the show Talk to me about the fun element because that's I think my favorite part of that because it's so rare that you see that And for you it's obvious for the comedy but fun is more than just laughing and comedy like Was there meaning behind the fun part? Can you talk to me about that?    So I don't really care if we won or lost So what if we brought that to our purpose? Now, I don't know that everybody's purpose Would be helped if they have fun I think a lot would probably not everybody But I know mine is helped when I have fun And I think part of my purpose is helping spread the vibe of fun I think seriousness is a fear-based psychological posture So funny when we're serious about something we're serious because we want to be more effective But if we're more if we're coming from a more fear-based mindset, we're ain't going to be more effective And I think seriousness Is just a way It's a way we deceive ourselves into not admitting we're afraid So when we're serious about something if we can admit like I had some fear around this. Yeah, what is the fear? Get in touch with the fear. Maybe you'll still be serious, but you'll be less controlled by the fear So for me, that's one of the reasons why it's important to Be a conscious purveyor of fun. I think it is an expansive energy. I think it's a loving energy Not a serious fear-based energy I love it, man. Very well articulated Fought along. Yes, this is some real psychology stuff. You're dropping your man. This is good. That's real I'm just reading off the script you sent me Yeah Yeah, you know it it comes to mind I saw it in your mission and it reminded me a lot of trump because trump is one of the only politicians Perhaps the only politician i've ever seen including when he was in office. He would talk about fun He'd be something serious to be going on and then he'd go out on the white house lawn He'd be like, we're having a lot of fun here today And i'm like, holy like It made me realize like you that he actually value in his hierarchy of values fun is very hard to list And I don't think I don't know if you've noticed analyze that him and him as well But that's I heard this you say this multiple times.  So now you watch him try to read off a teleprompter And I he's using fear-based tactics.  I think it was in Ohio a month or so ago and You know the he's outside you know full field and you know the He had this those kind of clear teleprompters politicians use They start blowing the wind.  I don't like using teleprompters It's too easy with them. It's more fun about them yep Yeah, not that he can roof off the cuff and be even more authentic and more uh adlib. I guess yeah He's amazing at that stuff, man I saw him in texas at the c-pack like a couple weeks ago and the same thing I mean, he had the teleprompters, but you could tell you can tell when he goes off the teleprompter He starts just talking and that's the best part.  Yeah Absolutely, man. I know you got to bounce him in the last question. It's a very serious question What's it like being a dude with long hair? I've never asked any man this with long hair. So I like to know Plus your red head too.  I grew my hair out started growing it out 10 years ago and and Yeah, this feels like a like psychology session. I don't think I've ever said this out loud before You know, my my hair was really short kept neat and controlled and you know, I was teaching for this Often suit, you know, I like coaching stuff and let's be serious so that people will give me credit or whatever and then it was You know a couple years before I started doing the comedy videos.  So I think Seeing my hair and feeling it every day long That was a symbolic educational reminder Have more fun I kind of get some Goku vibes do some s s just some super sand vibes like your hair gets longer You get more badass. I don't know if you're familiar with that show We're not allowed to talk about that Anthony.  He has events coming up One here July 28th in Texas again in Texas, California after that And eventually gets out of Florida too. I think in October Arizona here I'll be in Naples and Amongst other nice Florida locations, but I love Florida Yeah, dude. I'm from Fort Myers.  Oh, yeah, for sure. Well, hey man, appreciate your time today I appreciate you everything that you do and kick an ass man Maybe I'll be back on the show sometime If not, uh, keep killing it with everything you do many events and the channel and all of it Thank you so much, Anthony. I Appreciate that and thank you for having me on and thank you for doing what you're doing in the world and everybody in the Movement that you're a part of thank you guys for caring enough about life and contributing to a greater world to Work on yourselves and influence the world around you. So such a pleasure to wrap with y'all today 100% man, I like the world that we live in, you know, I want to make it better and we live here. It's our home So let's just talk and do it All right jp. Thanks, man. Everyone else. Thanks for tuning in today special episode on a tuesday of the red man group I'll see you probably on the saturday 11am red man group Otherwise, uh, to tune in the channel anyway and check out jp sears man awaken the jp.com Peace out. See you guys next time


Wagner Group creates military police. They plan to monitor Russian military. Wagner Private Military Company recruits former Russian law enforcement officers with operational experience to be part of the military police in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Russian news outlet Vyostka reported it. It is noted that the announcement that mercenaries recruit security officials from the Special Rapid Response Unit, Special Purposes Mobile Unit, Special Forces of the Russian Drug Enforcement Administration, and other units appeared on the 22nd of June on the organization's page on Vycontact, a Russian social network. According to the announcement, the work is focused on detention operational and curfew functions. Vyostka contacted the recruiter, indicated in the post by phone, who said that the mercenaries had such vacancies for the first time. We recruit a commandant, regiment from the operatives, we will call it the military police, said the recruiter who named himself Denis. You will have to make sure that everyone follows the rules of the company to see that there are no thieves and looters, no fights, drunkenness, etc. Also, the responsibilities include the operational task of identifying sabotage and reconnaissance groups and, of course, working with those groups, interrogations, operational investigation, all the operational work, what is there, said Denis. It is noted that the new unit will allegedly have to ensure that the rules of the Wagner Group are not violated by volunteer detachments and soldiers of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. You work boldly, there will be absolutely no questions. Are you kidding? To catch a soldier of the Ministry of Defense is not a simple deed. These animals are bred there, they drink like pigs. We have full authority, said Denis. According to him, the salary per employee will be 240,000 rubles or 2961 US dollars a month, and he also added that very good bonuses will be included. It is impossible to choose which occupied territories the recruits will be working in. You are not in a pioneer camp, where they send you. You work there, said Denis. Vacancies are currently open. How relevant they will be in a month? I can't tell you, the recruiter added.


Hi, welcome to our session Maybe first we introduce ourselves We are Wolfgang Wolfgang is a core developer and the maintainer of the rules module My name is Christian and together we are running a triple company in Vienna, Austria called Tronomix What can you expect during this session? Yeah You know, maybe you know the title of the session. It's all about social media the rules module API is an automation stuff Yeah, so I hope some of you already know the rules module. So who doesn't know the rules module here? Okay, so maybe for those of you a short explanation the rules module is one of the of the popular Drupal 7 modules I would say and it allows you to React on various events that happen on your website Using conditions and actions. So for example when a user does something on your website, it triggers events like a note, a content note is being viewed or when a user registers or when a user logs in and those are events that you can react on then with rules and Then the modules provide all different kinds of conditions and action you can make use of To react on those events for example a common use case would be just when a user logs in and you check the condition if he doesn't Has has filled out his user profile. You redirect him to the page Where he actually should fill it out and send him a message or something like that So the rules module is quite powerful and useful I would say when it comes to Drupal has a lot of modules integrated with it But I think it would be also very cool if you could use it to to react up external events like let's say a tweet Happens to tweet about a topic that you're interested in and you want to react up in that Or a Facebook message is posted to your status To your Facebook page page or something like that Or I think it was really cool if it could do it the other way around. So if something happens on your Drupal site Post something to Facebook to Twitter or to any other service Yes now you can and even Eaton seems to like it My laptop doesn't like it Okay, okay, maybe some examples A typical example would be when you have a tweet on Twitter And you want to post this tweet automatically on Facebook. So you save some time Would be a typical use case Another use case would be Saving Facebook Facebook posts as Drupal entities So you can Have the Facebook postings in the Drupal system as entities available Listed with views and make it searchable. For example Yeah, would be another example And a use case using files would be having your flicker pictures automatically saved in the Drupal box Maybe for backup reasons But yeah, maybe you are asking now why the hell do I need this There's a tool like if this than that that is doing exactly the same thing as Software as a service Yeah, we have some points here when using Drupal and rules you have far more flexibility especially when you want to connect and integrate with your local Drupal system and Yeah, hundreds of events conditions and actions are available already in your in the Drupal system because nearly every Drupal module has rules integration and Yeah, you wouldn't you can't use it when you use an external system like if distant that When you use an system like if distant that probably you have an RSS feed or you can use But yeah, that's mostly All of it and of course there's also a seamless integration to the Drupal entity API. So you can just Create any entity you like and populated with stuff from the various APIs so Yeah, maybe you know to police open source I Don't have to tell you the advantages of Yeah, using open source software But a very important point here is that you are able to integrate your own Tool services for example if you have your own project management tool and you want to integrate it with the system You can do it Yeah, it's all about data This is another very important part a lot of companies especially in Europe don't want to host the system in US for example a reason For them is a very big deal to have a self-hosted system so they can decide that they want to host this Yeah, it's a Drupal and Yeah, you don't need to authenticate third-party applications When they use a service like if distant that normally you have to give away permissions to an application that is owned by somebody else and For example a Facebook application You give away the permission that the Facebook application can access your profile data Well, you can post in your name When you use triple, maybe you have to add and set up your own application It would be a little bit my work to set up But you can go sure that nobody is misuse misusing your permissions Yeah, and also what I think is really makes me even more important that case at least for me is that when you Automated stuff and you like automate Twitter and Facebook and dropbox nothing to play to get up Then you have all that authentication Permissions at one single central place like if you automate it with if.com they have access to all your online services Advanced so to me that yeah has been really the point where I say, okay I don't want to give them the keys to all of my stuff Okay, and maybe the most important point a lot of content is usually outside of your CMS nowadays and Think about comments or tweets and also most of the interaction is happening outside of your CMS So when people want to automate stuff Yeah, they usually want also to be able to react on these events and Also, there are a lot of nice and cool APIs and tools available out there and They can be used to bring some intelligence into your triple system Example would be some analytics APIs like see you mot or cloud score If this app is would have to hold integration You can just a query cloud score for a triple user which cloud score the triple user has and React on this event or have a test condition So this would be very powerful and there are a lot of APIs out there That you can use. Yeah, so Maybe let let's have a close look at how this all works now So during the last month we worked on a project which we called flux graphed and it's a check essentially exactly that The flux graph project just combines holds with external services And then it takes that all in packages together in a more easy to use install distribution But it's not only a distribution. It's also a module suit So it follows the approach as you might know it from let's say a triple commerce So it's a module suit that implements all the functionality You can install it on your own Drupal side and run it and it works just perfectly fine But there's a distribution which just has everything you need in a place and you can install it without Having to take care of about all installing model use dependencies and all that stuff So it's easier to use so that the flux module suit is Yeah, but essentially powers that all it's a set just the rules integration for all the external services so that you can make use of them from your Drupal side and really the the heart of that the central module is the flux service integration module which kind of provides the lower level central place for for the integration module and The special integration modules to other services like the connection to Twitter Facebook flicker or whatever then builds up in that framework So you install the that the flux services integration module or if it's dependencies and everything and then you just need to add in the Connection module to whatever service you want to to use like flicker Twitter Yeah, so there are separate modules for the connections to the other services as well like there is a flux flicker module for example Yeah, and when you have installed that you end up with a UI that looks like that So some of you probably know it. It's just the regular rules overview screen You can just configure rules as usual and you have new actions conditions and events in there Which allow you to interact before the newly added service and as you might see from in the menu There are also some new menu points from the fluke services integration module Which allow you to manage service accounts and service endpoints, but we'll have a closer look at that later on And then you install the flux graph distribution for that You just need to download the pre-package distribution to ball and install it as any Regular triple installation so you can get the turbo from flux graph.com or from the triple our project page You just download and install it and you're ready to go and it looks like that then so it comes with its own theme and It also provides a little bit nicer overview to the flux graph specific rules in the distribution so we decided to go with some icons here as well and Miranda what's in your in a rule so you can have a very quick few of actually what are your rules doing and With which services are you interacting? Yeah, yeah, and just a quick side note for developers Attention flux graph uses object oriented programming so Maybe some of you say what I Don't care isn't this triple eight thing why the hell is this now also in triple seven so this is by reason because We can use libraries like the castle library that is some sort of HTTP web service client and Yeah, the port to triple eight is very easy so more or less Yeah, so the port is very easy because it's not allowed to be really followed already triple eight development principles in triple seven Have a different class similar class structure and everything so the port of the the software will be very simple Yeah, maybe This way some external developers coming to the project because you know the castle Module, but you know don't do a triple so less capitalism. Maybe it's a good way So let's have a short look at the basic concept of the fluke service integration module so first off as he Already shortly mentioned that the menu points. That's the concept of service endpoint and service endpoints are just used to hold your Information that's needed to talk to a specific service like when you talk to the Twitter API as to most of the other services you just need to provide some API credentials so that Twitter knows who is talking with its API and the service endpoint user interface allows you to manage that settings and Yeah, the module also provides it as a framework for developers to store that settings so you don't have to take care of that yourself and It's working very similar for the service accounts, which are then the accounts under which the actual the actual actions are performed Like when we take Facebook for example, if you want to post something on the On your Facebook page you always need to provide the Facebook account under which the action will have to be performed and the fluke service integration module Comes with a place a central place to manage the accounts for talking there to the different social media services or Services in general so it allows you to create multiple service user accounts Like when you have Twitter you cannot only use one Twitter account. You can connect multi multiple Twitter accounts with it So that's for the overall triple sites you can do that But in addition to that there's an sub module an extension module which you can enable which then Will allow you to have peer user service accounts also So you can allow the users of your Dupal site to add and manage their own connection accounts to service accounts to Twitter Facebook and Yeah, so I think that's also Your eye-wise very nice Feature because you really don't want to have a separate screen for each of the social services you're intact with for your users So it's very nice to have that all combined on one screen Yeah, and then and another concept the fluke service integration mix use of is remote entities so who of you doesn't know what a triple entity is No one perfect. So maybe a remote entity is not that well known So I explained that shortly Remote entity works with the same API the entity API But it does implement the API in that way in that it doesn't talk to your local database at all So it's directly talks to the web service. So it's like when you're working with Twitter There is a remote entity for Twitter message And then you load it it just directly talks to the Twitter web service And it doesn't hit your database at all and it also doesn't mean that your tweets are stored in your database But what's very nice about having the remote entities is that it's very well integrated With Drupal and also with rules that way because a lot of modules just build up in the concept of entities in Drupal Like we all have the token replacement everything working with it Yeah, so what kind of services? Do we have support already? We have implemented integration modules via Twitter Facebook also for our SS and Adam Feeds for Dropbox Flickr and we also have two modules which are more in development state for LinkedIn and Xing Those two also work very well basically, but they're not Complete yet. So they only cover a very small portion of the published APIs Yeah, so I think it's time for some action and to actually see how you can make use of that So in the first example, I'd like to show you on how we could connect Facebook and Twitter so in a way that when something is posted to a Facebook page of you That it's automatically also published on your Twitter account So for the examples we have prepared some screencasts, so we can work even if the internet connection fails Let's hope they are working Okay, so this is the rules overview screen as you have seen it already on a screenshot. It's the theme of the distribution and As usual, you have to get started first by making sure you have all your service accounts set up So in that test that we already have added three Twitter accounts and the Facebook account Okay, and then you can just move on and add rules as you're used to Let's move a bit further. So here you can see it. This is the regular screen to add a rule. You just Enter the name tags as usual And then you have to select the event and now here that the integration modules provides dedicated events to the that match to certain actions that happen on the Remote on the social services like on Facebook. We have events here right now for being able to react on status messages being posted On the friends timeline on the groups timeline on pages timeline events timeline and on your own timeline So and that in this example would like to use a page of Facebook account So we just select that and move on So select it and Once you have selected it it it needs some additional settings for really to figure out which page You want to use so once you have selected it now you see that it reloads the form and first it asks you What's the Facebook account here? You're going to use and it just this procedure drop down of all the accounts that are in the system we have the any engine account here and Then you have to select the page you want to react up and it also shows you just the pages you have access to Now example we use an instance fan page fan page use it and create the rule You end up on the regular rules overview screen and now you can move on adding conditions and actions so maybe Short explanation for that rule Close so that rule will now be executed then for each of the posts So if someone posts something on the Facebook page, it will be executed for each of this of the posts So now we want to move I have that post moved over to Twitter. So for that we just add another action which sends a tweet and Fortunately, that's provided by the flux with the integration module. We have a sense tweet action So we just select that and as usual from actions you just configure its parameters and you are done and the sense tweets message obviously needs the text you want to tweet and In this example, we just switched to the data selector What allows us to just select the data from the Facebook page? We are acting up and so you can see we have here the message available. We just select the message text to tweet that Then the Twitter Sends tweet action needs another parameter as well It needs to know with what with which Twitter account you actually want to send the tweet So you can select here the Twitter accounts available in your system as well and in our example We use a future dog browns Twitter account Okay, so just move on So we have the rule now configured we have an event and it will trigger the whole rule and just execute the action so now for testing this You have to to run the conservice of your triple set manually because that's the way it works is behind the scenes when you react up an event on an of a service it needs to pull the service and ask whether there's something new and that happens during the con runs and Usually yeah, you configure it on your server to run the corner Let's say every five minutes. So you then we would have to wait five minutes for the Interaction to actually happen, but for testing stuff. It's best to yeah just run run gone manually. So you see the results Okay, so to test it we post the message on ancient Spain page They just post something here So this is a Facebook post send it and Then we run gone move on a bit And so it ran now we check whether the tweet is here So this is future dog browns Twitter account and this is a Facebook post already appeared so it worked and In case you want to follow the future dog brown to get news from the future the account is at future dog brown Okay, let's see what else we have Yeah, another way would be to have automatic retweeting In this case we we we have two Twitter accounts. The one is future dog brown The one is dog brown past and we want to retweet old tweets by future dog brown by the user account stock on past So yeah, let's start again with considering the rule Just name it how you like it and the event would be in this case Under the cope Twitter we have a new tweet Matches now appears on a user timeline. So the user timeline would be then the future dog brown user timeline and Here is it important that we have to also Edit and display an account or an account give away and and have an account that Quarries the data and we need to specify the Twitter user. We we want to Beach tweet we want to get into your system. So again every time when Future dog brown is tweeting something we this role will be executed and we can have some actions that React on this event So in this case we have an action available that is called Retweet we just have chosen this action and we react on the tweet entry And we want to send a tweet with retweet with the user Twitter account dog brown past And we have done this. It's already working. It should already work and we can again test On the live system Here the future dog born is adding a tweet he wants to be retweeted and If it's working, it should be retweeted after running the corn immediately by dog brown past Yeah, let's see Here's a retreat So the past has retweeted your future somehow So let's see whether we have some examples that don't involve Twitter So I've got here an example that I'm using personally also It's sending an email when there's a new eyes as item Nothing very fancy, but still useful. I use it to just send me interesting blog posts of the triple planet So I have it with me in my mailbox But in that example, I'll show you how to use it to just send me an email about Feed entries coming of our company's block block so let's Check in the video so again, we start off at the rules overview screen and just add a new rule and start over providing with it with a name that makes sense to now makes feed email notification and Choose the event. We want to react on so for that use case the Feeds integration module provides you provides of it provides us with an event, which is called a new feed entry appeared so you select that and Then of course you have to configure which feed you want to use So you just have to enter the the feed URL and you can also configure the polling interval So it doesn't necessarily pull every ground run Yeah, that's it once you've configured it You will have a rule that executes for for each of the feed entries and we can add an action to do something and As all the regular rule stuff is available, of course, there's also the send email action available so we can just combine that and use send email and Configure the send email action as usual So we just enter the email address We want to send it enter some subject and message nothing very fancy here. So move on a little bit Maybe one interesting is is that here so for the for the message text you might want to make use of some replacements of the feed entry and The debate works with the remote entities as we mentioned earlier is that now we have all that stuff available That's in the feed also is token replacement and tools So we can select here the feeds title link content language descriptions and stuff like that So in this example, I think we just use the title and the link and send me to that of course you you could add more Yeah, that's it and you save it and we should be good to go that's the rule and again, we also test it to make sure it works and Go back here to the rules overview screen. You actually also see how the overview works. So when you hover On an icon it dispels you some additional information About the action that's configured here So that's actually we think pretty handy So you don't have to click on the rule and to go into it to see all the details So that the overview can provide you with all necessary information to know what your rules are doing so Let's test it run corn Run successfully. That means we should have an email now of our last blog entry and here is the new food item Yes, so it works Yes, but as always There's some cave eats and things that are not so obvious but good to know So we would like to tell you them now. So you don't have to run into it yourself Yeah, it is highly recommended that you can feature the corn on your server Don't use the built-in triple corn It's not really reliable for this use case and also check the API limits, for example, the Twitter API has some limits and Yeah, I don't think that I don't know the exact numbers, but you can of course only query Maybe 115 tweets per second. I don't know the numbers but they care about this and Yeah, so during development also it happened to us. We tested some retweeting and we Accidentally retweeted I think 200 tweets at once and yeah immediately our video account was blocked. Yeah. So this is the next part Respect the APIs terms of services. Most APIs have some terms of services and For example, Twitter don't want much automating stuff happening. It's allowed in some kind But retweeting for example is not allowed if you just retweet every tweet that has some Mention or some hashtag included for example and somebody is retweeting every tweet that is mentioning triple corn It's definitely spam. So Makes no sense and you will be suspended by Twitter immediately Yeah, okay, let's go back to the future and see what the future is going to bring us So our next steps Really our first off is to work on sharing rules and flux graph that come So the idea is that the flux graph that come you can export the rules you locally have in Drupal and put it on the side So for others so that they can find useful rules easily and you can share them So we're actually already working with that and then we'll go live pretty soon And next thing we want to improve is we want to improve scheduling As you might know the rules module already includes the rules Kettle module, which is very powerful and you can already schedule Basically everything with it, but it's not necessarily very simple. So to set up I mean, there are some tutorials and everything so you can figure it out But it's not as easy as it could be in particular for the use cases when you just want to postpone Retreating or something like that. So we want to make that easier and to set up so you can just Yeah, set the date basically and while configuring the action you're done and Next you also want to work on improving logging Logging as well. Yeah, all the social media activity under your name and everything might be quite important for you I think it makes sense to be able to yeah, really Control and see what happened and for that you might want to have really good logging Functionalities right now you can do that already also with built-in rules actions You can build basically your own log and make sure it works for you But I think we might want to do that sort of improve it so that there's more Sensible default logs that work out of the box. Yeah, and of course we want to work on Improving and providing more documentation so that there are many tutorials and everything is ready So that folks can easily dive into it But as always yeah providing lots of great documentation It's not easy and it could use a lot of help of you guys so that We can make sure It's really great. So it's one of our goals really to also build Active community of happy users around the project so this this can be really Successful because I think that's the only way it really can be it really needs contributions of a lot of people To make sure it works out of a lot of services And it's very easy to just integrate another service because already someone water and model for it And if it's not fine for you, maybe just extend it a little bit Shared with others and the next one will be happy as well and for that to really to work out. I think was fundamental is that That we make integrating with new APIs fun and as really as easy as possible So that's really also one of our goals and we already worked on hard on it to make it as easy as possible to implement And connect with a new service Yeah Part use cases so So One is the fluke service module can function as a base for social media integration general Yeah, as a shuttle mentioned already, it's really the central place to connect all the APIs and It's really also a nice framework for for developers So you can use it to destroy a bike credentials to sort and the service accounts everything that's taken care for you So it really makes that easier then as mentioned it all works with remote entities it also eases implemented remote entities a lot because Yeah, just with the entity bites not something really simple to figure out But the fluke service integration module provides necessary base classes and everything that basically work out of the box And you just need to implement what's really custom per service usually Yeah, so it's really provides a nice framework for integrating with new services Yeah, and then The last point I really want to mention here is all of that the user interface I mean already mentioned it shortly previously I think it's really critical to have a central place where you can configure all your service accounts of all different Kind of social media services doesn't just doesn't make a sense to to have 10 different guys for 10 different social media services No one wants to have that content marketing Yeah We have some ideas how you can use rules and triple also for content marketing Yeah, of course, it's it's good to have content on the website Maybe enhanced by flicker pictures or Instagram pictures, but you also can provide some functionality for your editors that they can schedule Tweets after they created Content maybe if there's a way you can provide a user interface for this that you can easily Schedule tweets promoting the content and say maybe tomorrow 12 o'clock. I want to send out a tweet promoting the content I just created So I think this could be very helpful Yeah, another idea that came to my mind was also easy developer automation. So For example, if you commit something to get up and you have a triple based project management tool, it would be very easy to just Have get up integration make sure that all the commits appear at the at the task that matches the commit and doing some stuff like that or personally I would like to Look into automating some issue queue stuff. So when we work with triple walk Projects in your main thing modules it sometimes is where a lot of work and you have to do a lot of repeated tasks And I think it would be really interesting interesting to look into automating that With the power of rules and the connection to it also Yeah, then integration for other self-host tools Yeah, in case you you don't want The NSA to to have access to your data or you want to try that the NSA don't have access to your data Good luck. It makes sense. You you work with self-hosted systems. One example is the on cloud System Probably, you know it. It's kind of an alternative an open alternative to dropbox and a self-hosted system And when you're using some of this it makes sense that you use all the self-hosted system for the automation stuff and you don't use if this and that we are everything is all Again going over some Services you don't have Yeah, you don't know and you don't trust more or less and Yeah, finally It would be very nice if we could connect to pull to the Internet of Things and I Think there's a lot of possibilities out there in this direction and There are a lot of things that you can automate and all the things For example, just an example when somebody's ordering at your commerce triple commerce store some lights gone and Stuff like this or yeah be creative Okay, so maybe before we go ahead with the question questions, I think we have another example we could show Should we go questions? Yeah Maybe let's start with the questions first and if there's still some time left we can show you another example. So Any questions? Thank you So if you have any questions, please come up to the mic so can everyone can hear you really really great module I wanted to ask about the authentication with Facebook and Twitter. You're making Facebook application or Twitter app and doing the authentication with those apps or How is it working? so the way it works that first you have to Configure a Twitter app for example, and we are using your defecated Twitter and then you Twitter provides you with the EPI credentials and you have to provide those credentials at the service endpoint once so those basically work for the whole of your Dupal site and then For the individual interactions, you need the accounts in addition. So you can have multiple accounts and associated with your Twitter app so When you add an account it just goes through the regular OAuth authentication process and as you know, it's your current Twitter access to your account and the OAuth credentials come back to the Drupal site and will be stored in the service account for you and so the service account step just makes use of the approval process and the EPI credentials you have to just provide once In front of upfront for the service endpoint. So does that answer your question? Yeah So if we want to extend those actions that you have for Facebook, this is possible How do you mean accessing the actions? Not not accessing but implementing other actions. Yes, totally You can just extend the module with other actions file patches where well you particularly love and to Get patches on it and make sure to improve the modules and to work on that and of course It's Drupal. It's all modular. You can do your own module and add your own actions via another module as well and We haven't mentioned it that much in this presentation Also that the modules are very nice integration with all the APIs So they don't come with any UI out of the box So if you're just a developer who is interested in talking to I don't know to Twitter Facebook API or something It's also very handy to just to install the module that don't use the rules integration But just use the API because it's very nicely integrated and makes it very easy to to use the whole framework as it covers already Authentication stuff and everything for you and you can just move on with web service client and and in that case We have used Garthor and and talk to the service There's a bof the ball. Yeah, we should mention we have a bof tomorrow. So if you are interested into developing Something based up in the flow service integration module or maybe integrating with new services or have development Related to questions, please come to our bof. I think it's the more at one o'clock At the lunch area But please look it up. Hi. I just have a quick question about the interface changes that you've done To actually make make it look a bit more like give this than that and my question is whether you're also considering to Actually use some of those interface patterns that other services use that are so super easy Also for creating rules because at the moment I have the feeling that that's one of them major pains actually that that creating a rule Like just just the amount of data that that you can select and the stuff that you can trigger that There's so much that if you don't have a deep understanding of Drupal There's no way that you can actually create a decent rule So are you also considering to work on that part so that it may be much easier? To create new rules at least for a subset of kind of pre-prepared triggers for an example Yeah, we have really been thinking about that also for the flux graph project and we even worked out Some mock ups and and everything but it just turned out that implementing Completely new and improved rules user interface was ahead of the project But we really have great ideas, I think on that and and maybe We'll make if we find the resources that are necessary to do it We'll do that for the triple eight version of rules if it works out for a triple seven probably not anymore Yeah, but yeah, some great ideas which really are also going in the direction you're mentioning Of reducing of what you see by default and just but still making everything possible But just hiding the more advanced stuff by default from the user and also hiding stuff that you don't need in a certain use case and Putting the stuff in front of the user that these more likely to use in a certain situation Okay, thank you. And another question related to that is that at the moment the the mock-ups that you've shown Are basically rules that you've created already that look kind of like it is than that so that you can easily activate and deactivate them Yeah, is that is that for all rules now, or is that just for the ones that that actually use web services So that's working for all rules actually But it's right now a user interface phase which just comes with the flux graph module You could perfectly fine Just go ahead and use it with with rules which are tuple only and do not relate with Any interfaces as well. It's just that other rules modules Modules that integrated rules don't provide any icons right now. So it has Some nice fallback to generate an icon based upon the letters of the module But of course, that's not so nice as a real icon But it is very easy to add an icon. We really thought it through so you can just and glass names of Font awesome, I think the font awesome and it directly appears in the user interface So it's not hard to add icons also for modules if you take care of it Any further questions Okay, so is Are you still interested in have looking at another example? Yeah Okay, let's do that Okay, so the last example we have prepared is automating to the list and What's the idea behind it? Could you explain it? Yeah, the list are very handy. You can just Have a list of Twitter users or maybe all Twitter users that posting about triple con so our goal was to prepare a Twitter list automate Twitter list that about all people that Talking about the triple con in Twitter So it's a pretty cool And you can just start a screen cost Yeah, so as always you we start over with the rules of a few screen. We add a new rule Here we have the service accounts so here this we add a new rule and Then we react up an event and in this case We use a different event as previously that the Twitter module provides an event Which is called a new tweet matches a search term search term So this event allows you to react up any Twitter search Basically, you just choose it and you have to select the Twitter account under which the search will be performed And you enter the search term So in that example we want to look for the triple con related tweets So we just entered a decision to work triple con Move on and we end up with the graded rule so the rule will be Triggered for for each tweet matching the search And we add a new action to actually read with something now Fortunately to add it to a list We have an action for that which is cold. How is it called? Edit with the user to a list I think Yeah, add a user to it with the list there is elected that action then of course you have to tell the action Which Twitter account you want to use so this is the Twitter account who would own the Twitter list You want to use then you can see all the lists that the user on So it just directly fetches all the lists from Twitter and we already have created the triple con list here Which we select here Then you have to tell it which users It should add to that list That's the last parameter. So you could just enter a fixed user here, but that's boring So we go to the data selector and we select the user who actually Want the tweet we are acting up So we need the screen name here And yeah, move on save the rule and and that's it. So we've got a rule and Now each time grown runs it will perform the search query look whether there's a new tweet that hasn't handled yet and add the The one who is tweeting to the to the list and actually we've got this running, right? Yeah, it's a lot of use case. So we can look at the results on Your account it's here at least Let's see how many people are they in there So we have got 481 481 members already. So yeah It's working good Thank you. Yeah, thank you And as always, please do not forget to fill out the session evaluation and We also have an announcement to make which is not related to the session But we want to make use of the opportunity so and in November and we'll have a triple camp in Vienna So it's not far off. It will be really great. So Join us if you are interested Hi, everyone Just a quick announcement as well the Drupal.org content working group wants to improve Drupal.org for site builders One thing they're working on is on building landing pages pages where you can find relevant information around site building topics They're working to find out what has to be Done on those pages and and that's where you can help If you have 30 minutes to talk about how you can figure things out with Drupal and on Drupal.org Please leave your name and some contact details at this form I'll give the URL in a second or come up front and write it down Working group members will contact you and set up a convenient time to have this chat So the URL is bit.ly slash sb interview But you can come up here and get it bit.ly slash into sb interview
