This is Think Tech Hawai'i, Community Matters here. And welcome to Business in Hawai'i with Reg Baker. We're a show that broadcasts every Thursday from 2 to 2.30 from the downtown studios of Think Tech Hawai'i in beautiful Hala Lula Hawai'i. Today we got a little bit of fog going on so people, sinuses are acting up, but generally it's a great place to be. We've got a very interesting guest today, actually two guests. And we're going to be talking a little bit about a transformation that's taken place. But before we get into that, what I'd like to just mention is that today I was just appointed a member of the Hawai'i Small Business Regulatory Review Board by Governor Ige, which is actually a great honor, at least for me, and something that's going to really help because I'm already at the federal level with the Small Business Regulatory Review Board. And now I get to also include the state. So working together, I can work to make sure that the rules and regulations at both state and federal level are conducive to helping small businesses thrive and get stronger, be more profitable, and their consistent. Sometimes they're disconnects and they don't always work in tandem. So hopefully now with this new role, we'll be able to be more effective in helping the small business community. Now with that said, the guest today is actually the East O'ahu Chamber of Commerce, formally known as Hawai'i Chamber. And they have increased their geographical footstep. Their footprint has gotten bigger. They include a lot more businesses than ever before. And it's an exciting time for the East O'ahu Chamber. We've got the President, Guindy French, here to talk. And we also have their Ambassador, which is Denea Self. And she's been involved for a long time with the East O'ahu. But thank you both for joining me today. Thank you for having us. So now these are exciting times. You've got a whole new geography that you're going to be dealing with. I mean, this is a whole, this is a lot bigger than just the Hawai'i Kai. This is the entire East O'ahu. It is. Although the interesting thing is that as the Hawai'i Kai Chamber of Commerce, our geographical footprint was larger than Hawai'i Kai. But people didn't realize it. So we would go out and visit our businesses and ask them for their input. How can we help you? Would you like to join? Make a difference? They say, well, we're not Hawai'i Kai. But so now, yes, instead of stopping, we want to include Moanalua Bay. So basically going to Kapa Hulu. Right, all the way to Kapa Hulu. But that also includes Kaimuki too, doesn't it? It does. Large number of businesses there, a large number of small businesses there, family owned businesses there.  Yes, we've got great schools in there. An interesting opportunity to get them on board and get them involved. There could be some interesting business school case studies done, opportunities for them to kind of get involved and get connected. So how are you going to begin the process of getting the word out, letting everybody know what's the marketing game on this? OK, that's directed towards me.  But now that people can see that just within the name, what we'd like to do is have a series of events, obviously, now that we have members on board or who are of the media, a broad spectrum between Pacific Business News, PBN has been a great supporter. Element Media, excuse me, Element Media is also a supporter of ours. Right, that's the Pacific Edge magazine. Correct, Pacific Edge, Green Magazine as well. So they are definitely supportive and have been involved. We also have a couple of the news stations looking at us as well to possibly partner and create some buzz. So we do want to have kind of a small little gatherings all around East O'ahu, not just in geographical Hawai'i Kai, but I think if you spread the love around and people start coming to the different events and they start seeing with their own eyes the benefits and the new networking opportunities that are involved, this is a small island. It'll catch on. Town people will tell 10 people. Well, in a sense, this is almost like a startup type operation where you got to educate the people that it's not just Hawai'i Kai, it never really was, but now it's by definition and by name a lot bigger than that. Yes. And that's gonna be the fun part, the branding or rebranding, if you will. Correct, yes, we have the history of Hawai'i Kai and the years of community service and serving our businesses. And you've done a lot of good things out there over the years. I mean, there's a lot of aloha for the Hawai'i Kai Chamber and it's just a matter of expanding that. Absolutely, we've been involved, because we both went in together in what, 2008, 2009? I'm not sure. A long time ago. A long time ago, we were recruited at the same time. So we've really had a chance to really understand each other's working ability. We definitely trust each other and we get together on these things and try to figure out the best strategy to not only grow the name, but also grow the board. And I think that what you said is very poignant. It's a startup position and this is a very fresh ground level time to get involved where we don't have every policy put into place. And that's actually okay, because now we can actually talk about what's beneficial on both sides and instead of just creating a mandate for people to follow, now it's how can we create a win-win for the businesses to be involved, both on a board or committee level to a name expansion, top of mind awareness, branding. And really it's about the community behind the business. So what I mean by that, so say for example, Island Brew Coffeehouse. I think everybody knows that name. They've done a fantastic job. They've really expanded. They have two new locations opening. They've been great supporters of ours, members as well. We can go into their facility, host an event, and also sit down and actually talk about how to better get the word out, what we're doing right and what we're not necessarily doing right. How can we improve upon that? And they're just a one example of the type of community works that they're involved in. They always have fundamentals, fundraising going on, fundamental key issues to talk about at their actual location. And that's what makes I think a neighborhood type of chamber unique and different. You know, you look at the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce which I've been very active with over the years, but it's predominantly a business focus type of activity. When you start getting into the neighborhoods a little bit, you've got that element. It's still a business type of chamber, but you also have a community element to it. That's very important to us, very important to us. So things like Moanalua Bay, environmental concerns, working with the rotary on small things, Ducky Dash, Kaiser High School, raising funds, doing scholarships. It becomes something where, as she said, our businesses back our community, but without our community, we wouldn't need businesses at all. So it's something where we'd like to highlight that. Exactly, and you get to extrapolate that out to all the communities that's gonna fall into that East Oahu location. And so there's a lot of different activities that are gonna be going on. I just see a tremendous amount of opportunity there to really have those community events to support all the different schools that are in East Oahu, get them engaged, get to high schools, get shamanade. I mean, there's a lot of opportunity, I think. And there's what, two of you? We do have a board, we do have a board, but definitely we need people to come in and really we need high level ideas and we also need you to roll up your sleeves. And not be afraid to get your hands dirty. But it also, like you said, it's a great time to come in and put your print on the chamber. You get your fingerprints all over it, yeah. You know, it's bigger than all of us. One of us put together, all of us come together and we make the world a better place, right?  I mean, there may be a lot of people out there that may be looking for something to do and how are you gonna reach them and find them? That's a good question because there is only two of us. We're gonna start small and definitely go in and visit. I think it's important to know that we do actually go out and actually touch base with our members. We can this, we walk in, talk to you, have, let's possibly have coffee or lunch. Now, we don't have enough time in the day to touch on every single business. There's gotta be what, you know, eight to 10,000 businesses in East Oahu. So I think having small, intimate community discussions either early morning or maybe Palhalla after people get off work to sit and discuss certain aspects of how to really grow because we can talk about grow, but in what way? How do we grow? Who, who, where? Well, and there's certainly gonna be a lot of, I would think, venues to do that. I mean, think of all the restaurants that are in Kaimuki or Ainahein or New Valley and Noaikai. You can do a little coffee hour or something in all these different locations and get a lot of feedback and maybe find some very interested volunteers that would wanna get engaged and help support. And that's been historically the focus of our coffee talks. Eight, 10 weeks, Friday mornings, sometimes there are three people, sometimes there are 20 people, but really to come in and it's a time where we can really get together and discuss things. So you can talk, you can network in a group. We've had lunches of 120 with Paul Brubaker, but there's something different. There's a great dynamic where you can really have ideas, hash out events or. Yes, yes, I've always said intimate. You know, like you mentioned, even when you spoke last year, we have quite a few people at our Outback luncheons, which are more educational seminars, but I think you touched on a great point. It's the small intimate groups of getting to know you versus a hundred business cards in your hand going, my name is, my name is. And I think when we have it more of a grassroots that way and people understand what we're really in it for, then it becomes an interesting, well then how can I get involved? And that's what we're looking to do, starting now and we'll be continuing this through 2018. That's correct. I think starting with, there's a special insert in the Honolulu Business Magazine coming out in November. Where they focused on East Oahu. So the Kailua Chamber, myself, we sat down with the magazine and talked about not only advertising capabilities and the discount to our constituents, but also what are the interesting stories? You know the community better, you know the business is better, how can we highlight where you are? And that's another way for us, as you said, to get the word out. We're here, there's an expansion, a name change, this is the time to get involved. This is the time to tell us what you'd like to see, even if you can't get involved. There are probably people out there right now that might even be watching the show, and once we broadcast this on YouTube and get it on the website and others, there may be people listening and saying, you know, I wanna get engaged, I wanna get involved. How do they get in touch with you? Who would they reach out to and make themself be known? Definitely, I'm the foreman there. You can always reach out to Dinea or any of our other board members. We try to go out as she said in Canvas. Brian Zagami, our secretary and I went out two weeks ago walking through Kaimuki and just meeting people, getting to know that area. So you can definitely call me, our numbers on the website, not only the chamber number, but my cell phone number is on there. We have email, we have our website. It's definitely a great place to go. Well, yeah, my phone doesn't ring after nine o'clock or before five, but other than that, we check our voicemails. We're pretty accessible. Yeah, at the same time we are busy and have our lives as a volunteer board. Is there an email on there too that they can use if they wanted to write? Yes, yes, I'll email them. That is, I'm sure you'll have a flash up on the screen, but we have a new email address you want to maybe state that. East Oahu Chamber of Commerce at gmail.com. gmail.com, so East Oahu Chamber of Commerce, all spelled out. All spelled out. At gmail.com. At gmail.com. The other thing you can do is you can Google East Oahu Chamber of Commerce or still Hawaii Chamber of Commerce and we come up first thing. All right, very good. Let me, we gotta go on a quick break right here. We're gonna be gone for about 60 seconds and when we get back we're gonna talk a little bit more about what the East Oahu Chamber of Commerce does in the community using Hawaii as an example and show the some of the events that they're hopefully gonna be offering going forward. So we'll be right back. This is Think Tech Hawaii, raising public awareness. Hi, I'm Pete McGinnis-Marc and every Monday at one o'clock I present Think Tech Hawaii's research in Manoa where we bring together researchers from across the campus to describe a whole series of scientifically interesting topics of interest both to Hawaii and around the world. So hopefully you can join me one o'clock Monday afternoon for Think Tech Hawaii's research in Manoa. I just walked by and I said, what's happening guys? They told me they were making music. This is Reg Baker, business in Hawaii, at Think Tech Hawaii, broadcasting from downtown Halaululu. We have the East Oahu Chamber of Commerce with us today and we're chatting about how they have really expanded their footprint from Hawaii Kai and it was actually a little bit bigger than Hawaii Kai but now it's all of East Oahu which includes the Kahala and Kaimuki area and just out of curiosity does this also slip over into Waimanalo? Waimanalo has always been shared. I wanna be very careful and not step on any toes. We've always gone to the golf course. If you live in Waimanalo, you can send your kids to Kaiser. So we're not exclusive. We've had board members who live in the North Shore and have no businesses in Hawaii Kai or East Oahu. So we're not gonna turn you away. But Waimanalo kind of, Kailua kind of. It's more, yeah, Kailua has taken that one. Absolutely, I think what I usually state verbally is a sea life park. Sea life park. Yes, from Kaimuki to Sea Life Park is kind of our last following. I gotcha, okay. So Kailua can't touch cut and sea life park. That's our jurisdiction. All right, and now official everybody. We've never drawn lines. Well, but that'd be a great place, a nice venue for an event of some sort. I'd love to do something at Sea Life Park with a couple of musicians, entertainers, get a good draw, and also just kind of touch on some of the leaders, you know, it's, we've had a lot to talk about on the east side of Oahu over the last couple of years. Dare I say Noah? Just a lot of community concerns with regards to the water level rising, property tax issues, homelessness encampment, safety, break-ins, burglaries, high school making sure that we have enough funds for our programs. There's quite a few things that the east side of Oahu needs to really take a look at. And I wanna make sure personally that we don't get lost in the shuffle as other areas of Oahu continue to expand and grow, such as the Kampalei side of the island. And so I think it's very important to understand why the chamber is even necessary. It's like, well, I have an east Oahu chamber. We have the main Hamalula chamber. Why is it even necessary? Well, but it's a very good point because Kampalei and that part, that central location of Oahu, has been getting a lot of press recently and they've been opening up shopping centers in Alaska. Well, but we can't forget that there is a lot of opportunity in a lot of businesses over here. Maybe we should have something like the taste of east Oahu and have one of those little restaurant series that you can go to and have different things going on. Yes, different things. And I would just try to bring Tamoras involved. I'd love to talk to Tamoras now that we're in that expanded area. There's just a lot of opportunities. But really, it's really boots on the ground and it starts with our small board and we need to expand. Well, and that's, as I mentioned before the break, Hawaii Chabr has been around for a long time. They've done a lot of community things. And I think that concept is something that we're gonna kind of make available and try to encourage throughout the entire east Oahu. And there's different neighborhoods there and sometimes different issues that have got to be addressed. And you're gonna be working with those communities that try to offer these types of events for that community. For example, Manaloa Bay used to have fireworks. And I know that the Hawaii Chabr has been involved in trying to make that happen again. But there can be other things over in Kahala and Taimo Ki and different areas that you're gonna want community involvement. Hear what the issues are and work with them to support what they're trying to do. Absolutely, creating a unit and on top of that, when we're tackling these issues, obviously we can speak till we're blue in the face. But getting in there, like she said, rolling up your sleeves and getting it done has always been the toughest issue. So that said, and it's always difficult as well when you're doing it on a donation basis. We are a member funded board. So we have a small budget to work with. However, we are taking a look at the opportunities and applying for a grant because I do believe it's time. Well, and this grant, you're involved in doing that? That's my background position. So why I'm even up here since I'm no longer president and I have stuck down off the board. I'm just kind of doing some things in the background to help sustain the life and the legacy that we've helped build over the last 10 years. And if I can have that happen hopefully sometime in 2018, I mean we will keep applying, we'll never give up. It takes maybe three or four times to get quick statistics. There's 13,000 chambers, I look this up, 13,000 chambers that are registered in the United States. Only 3,000 of those chambers are actually funded. So the chances are relatively slim. However, I think that we make a very strong piece of that pie as to why we should be funded. I think between having it be Henry J. Kaiser's actual dream and when I say Henry J. Kaiser, I want people to recognize and realize that is our Kaiser Permanente. We're talking about the same gentleman. So who helped develop Hawaii Kai? He already has a legacy, number one. Number two, we have a huge demographic of the island of CEOs, CFOs, business owners that are actually right downtown here today but will turn around and drive back out and sometimes they often forget their own backyard and we're a way to not forget. But we're there to help remind them. Yes, exactly, exactly. And part of that can be with us reaching out and visiting more of the neighborhood boards, trying to let those people who have rolled up their sleeves for the community aware of us. How can we work together? How can we help you? You know, I think that's could be a very effective way of getting the word out and let me share with you that as you may know, I'm on the Hawaii Kai Neighborhood Board and so I go to the meetings and I sit there for a long time during these meetings and there's a lot of community announcements, community events, people come in and announce different things that are happening in the community. Now, if you multiply that out for every neighborhood board within that East Oahu area, there's gonna be a lot of opportunity for somebody to go out and announce when you're having a beach cleanup or a park cleanup or something that's community focused that's sponsored by the chamber, that's gonna get a lot of visibility. Yes, well, absolutely. As a matter of fact, I know that Revolu Sun does that every year. Sir Frider Foundation does an excellent job at keeping Sandy Beach and Malmolua Bay cleaned up and we definitely need more participants. I think you even often suggested bringing in the JC's, bringing in the youth to help that. I think it's a huge win-win for the youth to go out there and be a part of the cleanup. Yes, yes, and we want our youth to be involved anyway, not just where I force my three teenagers to be involved, but really allow them to reach out and have community involvement to show them their business people and how to operate as an entrepreneur and as a business person, expanding their horizons. I want to be a doctor. There are a hundred different types of doctors, maybe a thousand specialists, just giving that broadness and they can also come and help in events like that, but they can help check in people for events. They can send things out on Facebook, they can do SEO. A lot of opportunities to help for them all. YouTube, we need help with YouTube. So many of our members like to sign in for webinars. So let's just face it, we have a ton of meetings to get to every day. We can't always leave and drive out into the neighborhood that we have the meeting in. So it would be really nice to do a lunch and learn via webinar and or even like this program. Just out of curiosity, if you do a lunch and learn through a webinar, how are you gonna provide lunch?  It's a good class. We'll provide the beer. I'm sorry, I'm just giving you a hard time. Giving me a hard time. I deserve it. I deserve it. I should have reported that. So it's your lunch time. It's my lunch time. It's your lunch time. Pizza delivery. Lunch and learns can be held. Let me back that up. Lunch and learns can actually be held at a facility, but my point is, is that so many of us need our information and small snippets. We just don't have time to go to every event. Well, you gotta make it convenient for the members to participate and get engaged. And making them come to a physical location all the time is not always the most convenient way to do it. Absolutely. That's true. And with social media, it really emerges and taking over. It really is all about social media and our visibility videos. I mean, grabbing the attention of these people within the first 15 seconds is really all you have. That's the critical. And so we may have the mastermind behind that, but we may lack a little bit of technical difficulty putting that together. But some of the youth, maybe that are just getting ready to graduate, need a possible internship, need hours. Well, and they can help explore. And some of this is trial and error. You gotta see what works and what doesn't work. Bringing the youth in to help out with this is great because they know the technology and they know how to operate it, but do they know how to connect with that target and market? Yes. And so there's, you're gonna have to try different things and see how it works. And we've done that even ourselves. When I came on, generally there were a few lunch events and maybe one night event a year. Now we've moved it so that people can come for a coffee talk. We can have some lunches. We can have some evening things because not everything works for me. Right now professionally, I'm available before six. In the morning. In the morning. In the morning. We can do a five o'clock meeting then. We can do a five o'clock meeting. So for me weekends or evenings are better, but three years ago was the exact opposite. Or even before that, when my children were younger, I wanted to be home and make sure there was dinner done. So then I pushed for morning meetings. Absolutely, yes. Well, that's one of the reasons why you need to have an engaged active board that you can spread this around and be able to have different people that have different schedules that can get involved and do different things. Definitely. Weekends are good for some folks, but not for others and weekdays vice versa. So you need to have that diversification of talent and skill. Yes, you do. Yep, definitely. Okay, so now tell me again, if they need some more information, there's an email address, right? Okay, go for it, Cindy. East Oahu Chamber of Commerce at gmail.com. You can also visit our website. You can find me, as long as you spell my name correctly, gindyfrench at gmail.com. It's on the screen, so that helps too. But definitely reach out anyway. Text messages, fine. And if all else fails, you can get in touch with me and I'll be happy to forward it on and we'll make this work. You can get in touch with me. It's just my first name at gmail.com as well. Between the three of us, I think we can all be in good communication. Definitely, and we have other board members who are out there or even people who know about us. No, we've got about a minute or so left. Okay. And so I wanna offer you the opportunity to talk a little bit about what do you think any events coming up that you wanna announce or anything that you're planning that people need to maybe save the date for? Oh, I found a calendar, yes. Day tuned. We do have something in the works. I don't wanna speak on it too much because it's not solidified in terms of the day, but we are looking at a brand-building concept for our members and it'll be a possible field trip. So it's something that everyone can come to because you're probably already going to be in town. It will probably be held in town at one of the facilities here, one of the member facilities. So I can give you that as a little tidbit and I can tell you that it probably will be televised. Wow, all right. So people need to go to the website periodically and check to see when it's there. Go there and join our mailing list. Yes, we do have subscription mailing list. Then we send out all of our newsletters everything about our events, registering for them, where they're gonna be held, what time, et cetera. Everything is on there. Yep. Very good. Yeah, we will also have a coffee talk the last week of October. Yes. Good, good. So that details for that will be coming up and definitely as we're working with Honolulu Business Magazine, if anyone's interested in advertising, telling us of a story, letting us know that something's going on, their editors are looking for stories. Just for clarification, is it Honolulu Magazine or is it Hawaii Business Magazine? There's two. Hawaii Business Magazine, that's all right. Okay, so Hawaii Business Magazine. Okay, just wanna make sure because there is a Honolulu Magazine out there. Yes. Okay, all right. So Hawaii Business Magazine, I know Steve real well, so we'll be able to work with him on that. All right, well, thank you very much for being on the show today. Thank you. Yes, thank you. You know, it was a pleasure to hear about the East Oahu Chamber and I'm excited about the opportunities. I love it that we're gonna be doing things at least on my side of the island now. Yes, we will show you. Yeah, outside of the neighborhood board. Everyone come meet us. Yes. This is a business in Hawaii with Reg Baker. We broadcast live every Thursday from two to 2.30. And we cover interesting subjects of successful people and organizations in Hawaii making small business work. Hope to see you next week. Until then, aloha.

What's who's lurking in the background there? What's the deal with that? Lurk in the back. No, that's that's number four. Okay, so you're the three musketeers and that's number four. And that's number four because it was like one Gordon Ivor Hamish and then the parents had another one that couldn't think of any other names. Well, four is good. Oh, okay. Another brother from the same mother. Yeah, he's kind of like the half brother. All right, fair enough. He's the brother we didn't want to have. So you guys so you guys joined up. So now did you take a lot of a lot of other family up for the game or what's the deal? They all drove down. I'll let them tell you how they got here. How'd you get here? We drove down from good old T.O. Where's T.O? They don't know what T.O is. T.O. in Toronto. We drove down from Toronto in Canada. Okay, picked up picked up number Hamish here, grabbed number four, hooked up, drove down some big highway, lost some big border. And our better has got stopped on the border. And we got through but the ladies got stopped. I don't know why but they got pulled over. But that was a great trip down here. Nice. How long how long of a drive was it? Four and a half hours. Wow. Okay. And so so you guys are living in Toronto. Did all of you grow up in Toronto? Well, he never ever grew up. But yeah, I guess So did y'all grow older in Toronto? Maybe I should have asked. We hung out together for a number of years before we all got kicked out of the house. Yeah.  Okay, did you get it? Which one's the oldest? How would I know? I'm asking you, what do you think? Who do you think the oldest? Number four. I used to like you. By virtue of being number four, he's probably fourth. Is that right? Good. So let's go with Hamish. Hey, oh, I'm the only non-senior in the group. I just thought we'd bring that up. The other two guys are already on retirement money out.  Nice. And I'm trying to be retired. He's still ain't working. So that's how you get to take all these big trips. So were you guys always big football fans? Let's talk about football a little bit. Always football fans. Growing up, who was your, what were the teams growing up up there? Because you guys were in Northern Canada or were you near Toronto or I don't even know? Did they have, when did they have Canadian football? When did that start? Yeah, we got the CFL. Yeah. Not the same as the NFL, probably not as big or different letters that we use up here. When did it start? Like in the 70s or the 50s or Yeah, it's been around a lot of time. How long? Yes, we're older than the NFL. 1901. Seriously? Okay. So you guys have been followed, so you guys have been big football fans for a while. Do you follow UH football? Typically? We do. NFL is bigger than CFL even in Canada. Is that right? Yeah. What about the University of Hawaii? Are they big up there? Oh, really big. And now we're circle anyway. Yeah, in this group they're huge. Yeah, so you did and I didn't recall you guys, did you guys make a trip to the Ohio game last year as well? We did. I didn't, I couldn't make it last year, but yeah, we're there. So you guys are pretty big fans then. I like that. So I know you're fans of football. What about fans of Hibachi talk? We got a tweet come in here. How many episodes of Hibachi talk have you guys seen? 83. That's more than I've seen. Everyone except for this one. I don't know whether I'll watch this one. What about the Ohio game last year? How was that for you guys to make that trip and watch UH out there? Did Corey play? I don't remember if Corey was out on the field or not. Yeah, Corey played. Sure did. He played well too.  So that's good. That's good. You guys are up there supporting like that. I think it's just, I think it's powerful for the players and powerful for the team. Yeah, we ran into this morning at breakfast. We ran into a bunch of people from Hawaii who are here for the game. They actually came in from, actually the ones I met today were staying at our hotel with the Australia game. Really? Okay, that's awesome. They've made the journey as well. Nice. And were they also lost? Yeah, they're also lost. So how often do you guys get to get together? Not as often as we would like, Andrew, but you know, for the seven years. Now with the football it's been last year and this year which has been great. Yeah, because I met you guys. I remember for Gordo's, what, 60th? Oh, yeah. Right? That was nine years ago. And that was 20 years ago? How long ago was it? Seven years ago, not nine years ago. Oh, metric. We had to convert it to Canadian. Metric numbers. Well, I'm thinking with Corey playing they may have to come out for a home game, you know? Oh, yeah. It has to be this year because this is Corey's last year. That's what I was thinking. You know, they're going to get cold enough up there soon enough, right?  Probably next week. Someone's coming in the room trying to be quiet. Barb, what do you want? Carving board. She needs a carving board. Can you get Barb a car? Sandwiches for tomorrow's. We're making lunch for tomorrow's tailgate. All right. Good. Andy? That's Andy. Hi, Andy. What are you guys going to, you going to take it to the game with you? Yeah. What are you making? The ladies do that. We just eat. We just eat. Oh, so you're not picky. Eaters. We got your basic ham and cheese. Peanut butter. We got your basic Canadian peanut butter and J. All the good stuff. That's how they tailgate up there? Yeah. No, we don't tailgate up a Canada because not allowed. You're not allowed to have fun in Canada. Come on. It's Canada, polite. We don't party. All right. All right. So, so, so you guys are going to go. How early will you go head over there? Are you far away from the stadium? Let me ask you that. A half hour. Oh, okay. Yeah. But we have to be there at six in the morning. Six in the morning. Oh, I'm sorry. What time is the game? Noon. Noon. Noon, our time, which is going to be six in the morning, your time. So, why are you going at six a.m.? Because to get parking, you've got to get, they start early at the University of Michigan, apparently. I see. And so are the liquor stores open then? Or are you going to get to stock up tonight? Pretty covered, Andrew. Already covered. I see. All right. Well, I'm glad you got your priorities straight. I'm glad, I'm glad you guys are thinking about all those things in advance. Yeah, we've got the water and the pop. Everything's good. Pop. Yeah, water and pop. A soda, sorry. It's soda. Is it a garage or a garage? It's a garage. So, let me get it right. Okay, it's a garage. So, whose idea was it for all you guys to get together at this game? My idea. It was Hamish's idea. And did you plan it since last year, since the Ohio game? Was that the, was that the motivation or was it just Gordo was going to be close enough, you could get your arms around his neck, so you thought you might as well come on down? We had a text message going, you're going, you're not going. How many? Okay, that's it. So, I went from, from this, we got 14 people. Wow. So, who makes all the, are y'all in the same room then? Oh, right now. But we ain't going to keep it that way. We're close, but we're not that close. We spent 18 years in the same room, man. Is that right? You guys had, what, two bunk beds or you just all slept in one bed? Oh, no. One set of bunk beds and Gord was in... A princess bed. I didn't say that loud enough. Nice. No, I didn't say that loud enough. Yeah, he had a lovely princess bed. Yeah, beautiful white bed. 18 years in the same bedroom. It was fabulous. Right on. That's a, that's a good way to grow up though. I mean, that's the way most people in that generation did it anyway, right? You didn't have a, it wasn't a room for every kid and all that nonsense. I slept with three other brothers, so... You did? Yeah, we had 12 kids. We didn't know we had these other brothers. Yeah, I know. Was one of them, they suddenly? Your family's growing before your very eyes. I grew up on the East Coast, so they have big family back there. Nice. All right. Well, we're going to tell you what we're going to do. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to pay a few bills. And it only takes about a minute, so if you need a beer or something, get it now. And then we'll be back shortly. And I'll go get Angus because I need a break. I've had enough of these guys. Thanks, brother. Hi, I'm Donna Blanchard. I'm the host of Center Stage, which is on Wednesdays at 2 o'clock here on ThinkTech. On Center Stage, I talk with artists about not only what they do and how they do it, but the meat of the conversation for me is why they do it, why we go through this. A lot of us are not making our livings doing this. And a lot of us would do this with our last dying breath if we had that choice. And that's what I love to talk to people about. I hope you enjoy watching it. And I hope you get inspired because there's an artist inside G2. Join us on Center Stage at 2 o'clock on Wednesdays. Bye. Hello, and I'm Patrick Bratton. Please join me for Global Connections every Thursday at 1 p.m. Where we talk with a variety of guests about various international issues, historical issues, both here in Hawaii and abroad, range from security, human rights, ethics, and all sorts of other things. So please join me. I look forward to talking with you and seeing some of my guests. Oh, ha! Big juggle! University of Hawaii football team under Rolovitch is going to kick butt this season. In case you didn't understand me, University of Hawaii football team is going to kick butt under Rolovitch this season. So be sure to follow us on Think Tech Hawaii and Hibachi Top. I'll be at every game. And remember, aloo, ha! We're back. Hey, everybody. Thanks for coming back to Hibachi Talk. I'm Andrew, the security guy. We're talking with Hamish McGullible, Ivor Rick Forklift, and of course, your host who's normally in the studio, the techs are Gordon Bruce. They're all up in Michigan. Getting ready for the UH game tomorrow. We've got him skiked in today. And I think we might get an Angus appearance in this episode. Yes, there he is. A company Angus. How you doing, buddy? Hey, good to see you, man. I miss you. Yeah, you haven't been in your seat for weeks over here. It's been a long, it's been a long time, lad. We got to get together one day when I find my way back.  Because I know how you are when you travel. You're a lot of trouble. It's eating all the time. They just stay in the bag? I'm missing that bag, too, because I don't have any, there's no studio gear here. You know, you took everything with you. For lunch and dinner, too. When you get the family together, you've got to celebrate a little bit. So that's a good thing. Yeah, we've got a few, we trust a few. You've got to get the few like that. I'm going to ask them a football question. Take the ball, I'll be calling it in Scotland. Wait, I'm going to change it. What's lug? Do you know what lug is there, lads? Yes. Okay, what's a lug? Just skating the lug growing up. Is that a real football question? Anyway, I've got a question for you, Iber. I've got a good question for you. You ready? I'm ready. What's the difference between American football and Canadian football? All right, Angus, I think what I'm going to do, I'm going to divert that question. Divert it. The connoisseur of the CFL Canadian Football League, Amish. Amish, okay, Amish. What's the difference between American football and Canadian football? Canadians have bigger balls. Okay, there you go. And isn't the field size even different? Fields bigger? Tom Brady would have a field day up here. Bigger balls, bigger field. What else? Same number of men? More men. One more. One more, we have 12, right? Yeah. One more man. What position? What position? What, like another receiver? Another lineman. Oh, okay. I think I got silly goose. What about, what about like the rules of play? Its downs are the same, distances, all that stuff? We only have three downs. They've got 10 yards. We don't get that extra try. A little more of a passing game then. Pretty well, yeah. Second downs to throw all the time. I see, I see. They only get three downs because they can't add up the fork. They get lost. How do you think we added up the fork? I would never be able to figure this game out. I'm sorry, what, so what do you prefer to watch? It's, you know, because the passing game is exciting to watch.  Uh, it's, yeah, we do a university more than college. Universal, but do they play about Canadian rules then? Canadian rules, yeah. I see, okay, huh, interesting. Well, which do you prefer to watch? NFL. But why is it just because of the speed of the game, or what do you, what do you think? Well, it's more exciting most of the time. I mean, after two tries and you're punting, right? Oh, yeah. So a lot of Canadian footballers, they don't, they don't actually advance the ball that often. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of punting involved. I see, interesting. But we don't have the five-year, we have a five-yard rule, no fair catch. Explain that. When they catch the ball on a punt. Yeah, you have to get them five yards. After they're, you're, you have to keep five yards, wait for them until they catch it, and then you can kill them. Hit them. That's the five yards. Oh, hit them, yes. Five yards, wow. Okay, that's interesting. So if they catch it, you time it, so you're only about five yards away, and then you just play a severe beaten on them. So there's never like a fair catch, because, because there's no reason for it. I see. If they don't have fair catch, there's no fair catch. Oh, so, oh, so you need, you must catch it and run, because you're going to get hit one way or the other. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. Okay, that's interesting. But you, but you, They didn't allow them to have hockey sticks on the, on the field. That was one thing they took that out of there. Is, uh, so when you watch, but, so just compared to pro, is it the same length of time the game? Yeah, yeah. Four quarters. Yeah, four quarters. And so what do you, so do you think American football, because when I watch American football to me, it's just like down, down, down commercial.  So do you watch them live or do you tend to watch recordings or how do you handle that? It seems to really slow the game down for me. We watch it live. Yeah. Usually on a Sunday. Is there, is there as much commercial, you know, do they make a lot of revenue off of it? Of Canadian football? I mean, are they, the fan bases are large and... Not quite as large as, no. We're strut, it's a struggling league. Yeah. Oh really? So what would be a typical attendance at a game if you were to go to the game? Western Canada, they will sell out the building and it's about 45 to 50,000. Wow. Well, that's not bad. Toronto, I'd be lucky to get 15,000 in. Oh. And so tomorrow, how many will be at the Michigan game for UH tomorrow? Well, how many will be at the Michigan game total tomorrow? Is that, I think that stadium holds 90 something thousand, yeah? No, it's 108. 108,000. Well, it'll be, it'll be stacked to the roof. Yeah. Yeah. How big was, how big was Ohio State last year when you guys were there? How big is that stadium? I was over 100. I think it's 103. Yeah, I think it was 105, I think. Yeah. Do you guys, do you guys ever go to any of the live games? In Canada? Oh, yeah. It's a little chilly in Canada. It's like Cleveland. If you want to go to a football game in order. Okay. Also, there's no indoor stadiums. No. Well, they did have one Skydome where Toronto Argos played, but now they don't play there. They play in BMO field now. Outdoors. Outdoors. Just to make it even with everybody else, was it unfair advantage to play indoors? They only play until, what, November. Yeah. But what does that good question there like? When did they move them out of the stadium because they spent all that money building it? It's a baseball stadium. It's not a football stadium. But it was built for both? No. Yes, it was. It was. It was. It was. It was. No, you got hit by a forwarder. I think they figured they could get more people outdoors. I see. Yeah. Yeah, give them a kick in the leg. Just to share that they changed it to outdoors from the Skydome. Yeah. They're trying to bring back the old flavor of the football. Yeah. Interesting. I had an idea it was such an old sport here. That's really good. I'm glad you guys are going down there to support UH, though. That's amazing. Oh, yeah. Did you watch the game, the UH game last week on ESPN? Was it on, I guess, what time was that for you guys? I guess it would have been later in the evening. 10 o'clock in the evening. Oh, so you were already in bed? Well, they're 13 hours. Hamish was probably in bed. Yeah, he goes to like, he's probably in bed at 8.30, his age. You're in bed at 6 after the discount, senior dinner and meal. They have the 2 o'clock senior dinner meal and then they go to bed. You're both staying there. Oh, yeah, that's right. You're in the old folks' home. But seizure world. Let me call that name of it. Seizure world. That's right. I remember that. They stuck that at seizure world. I remember the Toga parties at the seizure world at the old folks' home. He didn't drive enough Toga parties every Saturday. All right, well, have you seen Michigan? Did you have to watch them yet this year? No, not this year. Okay, well, it's time for some predictions. Let's start with number four. Number four, give us, what do you think the final score might be? Guys, only a 30-minute show, so you gotta turn it up. 42 to 23? Yeah. Well, we beat the sprint with that one for Michigan. Yeah, I figured that. What did he say? 42 to 23 for Michigan. 42, 23 for Michigan. Hamish, what do you think? 63, 17. 63 for who? Michigan. For Michigan? Okay. I'm not gonna let you guys do any parties anymore, ever. That's it.  Ivor, what do you think, what kind of game we're looking at? I think Hawaii. And I got on my go right on it, and we'll beat the sprig. Okay, very well, very well. What is it right now? 40, 40. 40? It's about 40, I think, but... I think they will beat that. Yeah, they're gonna beat the sprig. Yeah, I think they will. And Angus, did you have a prediction for us? I sure do, their lad. In 1955, the University of Hawaii beat Nebraska. In Nebraska. They were not raked, but Nebraska was ranked number one. Get ready, history's gonna repeat itself. Final score, University of Hawaii 21, and Michigan 17. It's gonna be the upsaided, essentially. That's right, it's definitely a nice early season upset, so that's a pretty bold pick from you. So obviously, next week on the episode, when Gordo's back, we're gonna be reviewing your all picks. We're gonna be rating your picks on the real outcome of the game. And maybe we'll have... Maybe you can text us your winnings or losings, you know, based on your prediction capabilities. And then if any of you is any good at all, maybe we'll let you do that as the season progresses. And we'll kind of plot your bedding lines against the... Because they haven't been the newspaper here, and you know, obviously the sportscasters and all the bedding houses right in Vegas always have their lines. So we'll see how you guys do. There we go. Hey, think about it. Through we can have the Vegas Lime and the Hibachi Talk Lime. The Hibachi Line, yeah. That's one I can't really advise, but you know, it's worth a try. So do you start your hibachi with the newspaper or do you use lighter fluids? I use coal. I'm from Kentucky. I get these cold and I heat them up, and I heat them up and I heat them up and they're ready to go. In the oven, I do add a little fire, but they just ignite. They almost spontaneously combust. I think that's a good question. Thank you.  It's like a Hibachi bomb almost, the way I do it. I wouldn't raise right. So do you guys have any final words? Yeah, give us some words of wisdom. Yeah, final words of wisdom. Yeah, words of wisdom. Words of wisdom. Okay, that's enough. Yeah, you're done. That's it, that's it. Yeah, there you go. I am the spark. You are the spark? Yeah, heaven permitted. Well, it's been a pleasure. It's been a pleasure having you gentlemen. I really appreciate your support of UH. I really appreciate your support of Hibachi Talk. Thanks for spending some of your vacation time on the show with us today, and I really hope you enjoy the game tomorrow. And I hope Angus... And remember what we say at the end of every show. Yeah, I hope Angus is right about the final score. A? A? See you guys, aloha.


The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs joins the global community in observing World Oral Health Day on March 20, 2022, under the theme, Be Proud of Your Mouth. The dental services unit, today Friday, March 18, 2022, started the observance of the day with the launch of the oral care program for the elderly. The unit has also embarked on a series of activities geared towards increasing sensitization and raising awareness on good oral health. We want you to have a healthy mouth and be proud of it as we know that good oral hygiene can improve your overall health outcomes, quality of life and quality of livelihood. Be proud of one's mouth also means valuing the uniqueness of your own natural dentition. The Global Wooden of Disease 2019 highlights dental cavities in permanent teeth as the world's most common condition. The prevalence of dental cavities is highly impacted by the increased consumption of sugars. Sugar is the main cause of the breakdown of tooth phenomena, thus making it the main risk factor of tooth decay. Most oral health diseases are easily preventable and treated inexpensively with early detection. We encourage everyone to use a fluoride-based toothpaste with a soft bristle brush, brush at least 2 minutes twice a day, brush all tooth surfaces, replace your toothbrush every 2-3 months, floss daily, visit a dentist at least twice a year, reduce snacking between meals and eat a balanced diet. If you have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, best practice to avoid reinfection is to discard your toothbrush after you recover, because the mouth is one of the main entry points for the virus. Oral diseases are highly preventable through early interventions. See your dentist today, practice good hygiene habits so that you can be proud of your mouth. I thank you.


And it's gonna take two hits on Frieza. I didn't do the math properly. Two hits on a golden Frieza. Let's go! How's it going everybody? DatoDoy here back with another Dragon Ball Fighters video. This time taking a look at post-patch Krillin. A lot of you have been asking to know my opinions on this one as Krillin has been my main in Dragon Ball Fighters for the longest time now. And unfortunately this patch has kind of been 50-50 for him. It took away a lot of stuff that hardcore Krillin players like to use. It changed some things that I like to use like the medium back dash. You'll know if you watch this channel I like to use this one as my fake and then go in. Krillin seems pretty adverse to that now as the back dash is mandatory. Of course I wasn't entirely crazy about this change at first but everything has its use. Now if you're doing something like that you know instead of going for an after image let's say Krillin's the last one alive and you're just doing some block pressure. Maybe you're feeling a bit scared, want to go on the defensive. You can just do something like this back away fake it out. Get that decent space. So yeah not everybody's going to be able to punish this especially on the first time we go around but it's not necessarily something you want to throw out all the time. One really good change that they did to Krillin's special moves is that they buffed it so that you can get meterless sliding knockdown off this. So let's say for example a classic scenario would be I do this and then I vanish and then in order to get sell sliding knockdown I would usually have to EX it into sliding.  All right so here we are in our first rank match of the day. This is going to be one of my first few times with my main team in the new patch so I'm excited to use all the new stuff mess around with it a little bit and I'm sure we're gonna get some muscle memory mistakes here and there because I've just played this team a stupid amount over the course of my all right all right I see you dude like that look at the little back step all right I didn't expect him to get hit by that and here we go there we go I could have kept it basic there and I should have honestly ooh there we go get the knockdown go into a level one hopefully it kills if not I'll just spend an extra bar to keep curling out not really a big deal it was gonna need an extra bar to kill anyway all right it's so good dude get that little extra meter space oh and he woke up with light buttons so he gets us off of him bad bad bad wake up game on my part I really did not stop him at all okay he's coming in hot oh you should not have done that you should not have done that let's go ahead and get Frieza back out here and put on some pressure all right let's try some new rock oaky I accidentally threw a bean and fed it right to Frieza all right he's just he's just throwing stuff out didn't even appreciate the lunch I gave him dude how how crude could you be oh Yamcha you are so clean with it wow two two short limbs opponents really going at it today 17 versus Krilla what a power match why not spend it a little early Krillin's got a ton of red life we can make use of and I still want to show you this experimental rock oaky I'm sure it can get better but this is the best we've got so far ah that was supposed to be the bait but I forgot they can block the first one and then super dash out of the second one like I mentioned two rocks isn't really the best because well it's just two rocks there you see we take take a little bit of advantage of the new special move to go into Krillin's corner that's usually the new corner combo you want to be using with Krillin and then back dash so that's going to be the end of Krillin I was trying to Tiger knee the ex after image that's something also that's new pretty busted and that's going to be the end of Frieza okay pretty good first game I feel like I feel like I'm trying to take in the information so I might be doing a poor job of explaining what's going on in terms of Krillin but yeah basically you want to abuse those new special moves try to use the rocks if you can but that might just be the early phase talking ah and again I get the input wrong oh you should not have done that medium it's medium oh god okay fine that's fine oh no and I tried to mash on when we got down there didn't necessarily work out for me as you can see that's fine I'm a vanish okay first time of the video where I gotta go see yeah no Goku no okay this is bad doesn't switch us out that's good to me too you like the new Goku I dropped it I went one too many hits I was gonna say you like the new Goku stuff I got cocky cocky wow that was a great punish oh get him off you Krillin just let him know don't get too close to the Krillin zone and this is the Krillin zone worked myself right into the corner I thought I had a little more room to work with there that's fine Krillin's been doing the work let him take a little break and by a little break I mean let him go ahead and die new DHC nice that's fine we still got a lot to show off with Goku here we can show off the new uh he x5 god that is so cool oh super dash at me wow that was a ballsy move just dragon rushed in my face and actually caught me of course uh nothing is as good as just uh getting out for free wow enough time to punish me with the five heavy and I could be dead here if that's what he wants and it looks like he's made up his mind he wants me dead dead and gone Kyle Ken doesn't have to spend the third bar I was really hoping I was doing a lot of wishing there I at least wanted all the meter I could take I had taken better advantage that show off the the option nerves I messed it up anyway oh is that going to be a knockout that might be actually well consider if we don't mess this up which we did which is fine which is not fine because he's got sparking and he's ready to rumble uh oh damn letting me have it all three bars no just two probably wants to get Goku out of there I can respect it no super dash too bad I was I had my finger on the super dash trigger as well can I see Goku back out here for some pressure come on I swear it like lagged or something unless I just dropped it which wow if that's the case I'm new and improved dato baby season two new drops no the down heavy didn't connect it's fine we won't die but that's not good for us at all we're dead we're dead we're dead we're dead we're dead we're dead we're dead oh what a way to go didn't even get to use sparking I was so near I didn't know when to pop it should have popped it way sooner unfortunately we lose that second batch I feel like Krillin went down too early and then I did my Goku play didn't live up to the hype so let's go ahead run this rematch we do get it that's good let's like Krillin do the talking why not right oh that's why okay didn't punch him away I was kind of hoping I would there we go just stagger it a little this dude has been trying to jump for too long talk to him Krillin okay he's he's trying to talk to me he's just yo he's going on 17 you little oh god now I'm mashing when the game starts moving like this all right can you get in that corner for me oh don't even try it oh my god he actually landed in time and punished me wow dude this is a crazy game he's just landing and going for lights and I gotta respect it and I have not been two bars this might kill we're a little under the sparking symbol remember when I said it might kill don't lag now game oh that was a bad beam bad beam I try to use there and over the head of Krillin I guess I really should have be claiming like that's like a crazy thing but damn that I was hoping it wouldn't happen down come on team let's get it together okay we're in all right we have to get him out of the corner but if it's first sliding that's a that's a risk I'm willing to take probably gonna kill that's fine vanish does a little bit more we'll take a little off the top get Frieza and it's gonna have to be a miracle if we want to make this comeback Goku's gonna have to put in a little work little work is happening boys how did I not block that I think I might have jumped I think I might have jumped at the last possible frame which sucks don't even try it dude wait for the super dash there we go not enough damage he's gonna stay down or not in guard cancel just get out of there no I don't want to block 17 he catches it with a barrier that was sick then we'll pop it nice and we get him to the corner though get your dirty hands okay understandable get him off you Yamcha get him off of you Yamcha no I accidentally dashed and I ran out of sparking I was really open I'd be able to hold that one and not kick in the air like an idiot haha god this went from being like a real possible comeback to uh being hard again all of a sudden you gotta be kidding me 17 does confirm he doesn't over the head no damn over the hedge wild all right I'm not trying to take this sitting down anymore dude let me get my rematch in real quick let me go to work I got I got I got kind of rushed out that time let's go I'm trying to take this let's go finally that worked out pretty well remember the rocks I didn't get the down heavy I was so confident I had to read to ah now I'm spamming super dash and getting rightly punished for it I feel like the smart thing to do here would be to get go to he is really constantly going for that just do that to get out mash that because he always likes to go for the grab feel like we're learning at a pretty decent pace wow those beams are not touching five feet apart because they're not gay and we don't want to block no 17 let's be honest wow 17 versus Krillin the hypers match uh take it across the map there we go there we go we're starting to see the results oh and like I said remember when Krillin couldn't do that let's go uh Krillin getting a little bit extra damage after the beam I like it that's what I like to see honestly I knew he was gonna back dash too just feel that one medium gotta remember outside the quarter it's medium give that to me probably could have extended that a little more even get off of me boy okay understandable I got a little too big for my bridge I should have swapped him uh tried to mash vanish that's probably death uh and freeze is gonna get to come back out big loss huge tremendous loss actually let's go ahead and call it what it is tremendous loss oh wow the hit yeah I don't want to you know what let's not even say it but I did not like seeing that at all come on I got the read I just not not I'm not committing enough oh I'm not committing enough to the back dash read because I'll be honest I get a little scared I'm like is it gonna go for it this time oh now I'm just playing like an absolute nut dude I've gone I've gone bonkers no I can't I can't just mash out of that oh that's new that was new and it threw me off we're getting we're getting a comeback run on us that's the worst part to say because I you would think in this situation it's pretty easy to not let this happen and you're right oh he just gave it up he just absolutely gave it up he just absolutely gave this match to me I can't believe I let him get away with that I just can't believe it a light raining down switch out he does wow the carpets oh we're blocking again I didn't think you'd reach it okay well I don't even feel bad about that one I gotta take what I can take dude I don't even feel bad about it okay we take the win which is really all I could hope for at the end there because I was playing like garbage third game has to be better I feel like we've been showing off what we can do but we haven't been getting in the situations mostly in the corner where I can get some real optimal stuff we just haven't been getting to that

So in a moment, we're gonna talk about what a man can do to demonstrate loyalty to you now when I think of loyalty I'm not necessarily talking about fidelity although that's an important part of it But what I'm really talking about is building deeper trust with you And when I think of loyalty, I think of it in the sense of does this person have my best interest at heart? In other words, do they put their feelings or my feelings commensurate with their own feelings? And I don't mean above it or below it. I just mean commensurate to it So I want to share with you where this video was birthed because something recently happened that I have to share and I have a friend. She's a younger person who recently got for lack of better word dumped by the man She's with they were together for a year and a half. It was a long-distance dynamic By the way, she didn't heed my warnings or listen to my advice just a little upfront. I acted as a big uncle to her But at the point where and they've been they see she's so happy she so this is such an amazing Relationship he's unlike any other man. I've ever felt these are all the feelings she expressed about him When she finally approached the idea of move again, this was a long-distance dynamic I believe about 1,500 miles when she Suggested that she might move to his city not move in with him But move to his city to help progress the relationship He then let her know that he had actually been dating other people And then probably wasn't a good idea She was devastated, you know, here's a person who professed monogamy and exclusivity and Yet he didn't his actions didn't match his words. So it got me thinking about something that I want to lean into in today's conversation I'm not sure how many of you at least here in the United States are familiar with something called the code of conduct the code of conduct for military people I Invite you to Google it the because there's a lot of different variations to this but the code of conduct is one of the Agreements or vows people make when they join the military that they're going to uphold You know another way of looking at this is like a wedding vow You know, it's it's it's an agreement you make with another person that you're gonna uphold and within the code of conduct You know, there are things like never leave a man behind always be impeccable with your word The list goes on and on in fact It's proud to some degree it mirrors what I think everybody should be reading the book the four agreements If you're not familiar with this book I highly recommend checking out the book the four agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz but to some degree these are are Principles to live by their level of code of conduct That humans I invite everyone to live by in particular when it comes to Relationships so if you're not familiar the work of Dr. Dan stat or excuse me Stan Tatkin Stan Tatkin. He wrote two amazing books. He wrote Wired for love and wired for dating I highly recommend checking this out wired for love wired for dating Okay, Dr. Stan Tatkin But he came up with something called the ten commandments for relationship essentials Right that down the ten commandment for relationship essentials Now I'm not gonna read all these because it'll take me 20 minutes I'm just kidding but but I want to read this to you because this really ties into The code of conduct because what is loyalty loyalty is a way of operating in the world that said my words and my actions my my word my bond all of this matters so in the ten commandment for relationship essentials The first commandment is thou shall protect the safety and security of the relationship at all costs Thou shall protect the safety and security of the relationship all costs So I want everyone to visualize this. There's a you there's a me or there's a there's you know There's there's you know, there's you in the relationship the other person There's me in the relationship of the other person and where they cross together in this Venn diagram if you will There's the we The we is a separate entity and until couples actually reach a state of we It's going to be difficult to lean into a conversation that has anything to do with trust and loyalty See today, I'm going to share with everyone. I did an Instagram post. I want to share this with everyone I did an Instagram post today But I want to read this to everyone and by the way, this is what the meme says There cannot Excuse the fuzziness there cannot be a relationship unless there is commitment unless there is loyalty Unless there is love patience and persistence. Can you can you see sorry for the fuzziness of that? Okay, but this was my caption below it And this is so critically important to this conversation I'm going to share with you something you can do to help facilitate loyalty Sooner rather than later at least it will gauge where his emotional maturity is but in this meme I wrote the following The word relationship Is rather subjective these days and I've noticed humans Enter into romantic connection with little or no agreements Let me repeat that little or no agreements in my book. These are called casual relationships or situationships And they are fraught with uncertainty or a lack of direction One of the first basic human needs is certainty which provides emotional comfort By the way, everyone right now write this down the six basic human needs and google this at a later date the six basic human needs When two people enter into one of these relationships They are putting their emotional vortex in a potential war zone thinking of the military And the emotional damage can be significant The minute two people engage in getting to know one another I'm a big proponent but Jonathan all the dating coaches say just have fun Let romance be the guide allow chemistry to be the indicator of relationship success and attraction Or let's follow the red pill rules where the men are the leaders of the relationship and a woman's job Is just to give a guy sex whenever he wants okay, and i'm paraphrasing what I think the red pill community does But women are submissive men are superior. This is all the garbage Humans are listening to instead of really getting granular to the sense of the minute you begin engaging with another person emotionally Or engaging with another person it can affect us emotionally And sadly most humans are not rather grown up about this in the dating process So i'm going to share with you what i'm going to recommend that all of you do in a moment to at least vet if this person has potential For loyalty you see you you by the way loyalty might be on your list you might have integrity honesty trustworthiness loyalty is your top of your list, but That's not something you can see on a first second or third date And yet humans will have physical intimacy on a first second or third date They'll give their bodies to another human being without ever earning it So Let me rewind for a second and i've talked about this before in real estate. There's a there's an expression Does anyone know the expression in real estate? What's the most important thing when it comes to real estate? location location That's the first and most important thing about real estate is location location location When it comes to dating mating and relating It's character character and character This is the most important facet of anyone within one of the most important facets within anyone in relationship And this will dictate their genuine loyalty towards you. So i'm going to share with you for a few minutes Just some signs to look for okay Now these are rather obvious. So i'll go through these quickly, but number one actions Consistently matching their words. Look at we're all human. We can make mistakes, but actions consistently matching their words They have a generous and kind spirit. Oh as i'm reading this by the way ladies since most of my audience is ladies I'm talking about you too. You don't get off the hook on any of this stuff either Okay, because i will tell you as much as you ladies point the fingers This is what women do they point the finger at men and men are pointing the finger at women Most human beings are rather dysfunctional. Let's not and let's own it for ourselves I want everyone to own i'm dysfunctional and i'm working on myself. Okay I want you to write that down. I'm dysfunctional and i'm working on myself now when I say it I say it with a bit of tongue-in-cheek. Okay, but the fact is is My actions haven't always matched my words, but it consistently does Number two i'm relatively generous and kind for the most part not always I can be self-centric, but for the most part i'm generous and kind Now number three and this is kind of a code of conduct of character Is the person communicates clearly without having to be right? Communicates clearly without having to be right if you're not familiar with the work of dr. John and julie dotman In the book eight dates. Okay. I'm going to go to the table of contents here. Okay, by the way all the books I recommend are in the link below Okay um Number two. Do you see that right there agree to disagree addressing conflicts Folks One of the most important things in a relationship is conflict resolution skills In fact the gottmans have a new book out among this. I call it fighting fair. Okay And what that means is you don't have to be right People that have to be right are not the best people to be in relationship with Number four, they don't use people. They are clear about commitment coming back to this man I was talking about He was ambiguous about commitment He didn't progress the relationship forward.  You're so wonderful. It feels so great. I love being with you. Oh, let's travel. Let's go do this True character the code of conduct the essentials of a relationship and again I would highly google dr. Stan tackens the 10 commandments for relationship essentials Requires having these deeper conversation ladies before you become physically intimate with someone and again I'm going to share something in a moment that I highly encourage you all to do going forward Number five they have their act together both emotionally and logistically in their life In other words, they're not going through some emotional chaos their their marriage wasn't this, you know, they they they're not Pining over a previous relationship. They're very clean in their past relationships. They're not hung up on drugs and alcohol You know, you have to pay attention to these things people that party too much I said, you know past relationships, they've healed from their past relationships I would venture to say 80 of the single population in the dating marketplace is still hung up on an x Both females and males. This is not singular to a gender By the way, forgive my shouting, but my coffee mug says swear a little you'll feel better I don't curse on the jonathan from the heart videos See I have a standard I like to this is my this is my calm video, you know, it's funny This is supposed to be my calm video But this this incident with this friend of mine and this man who dumped her has me So riled up that I have to scream at the top of my lungs to encourage you all to listen to this They've healed their past relationships. They're introspective They work on themselves to grow past their limitation their wounds and their traumas And they are protective of your feelings a true Loyal person a true loyal person. I don't care if they're male or female They operate from a code of conduct that says I'm looking out for your feelings always Because I know I'm going to be okay, but I want to make sure that my My actions match my words the way I operate in this this this thing we call romantic relationships is in absolute integrity Now it's confusing for many of you because you can't feel this on a first second or third date Okay, you can't feel this on a first second day loyalty Okay Because feelings aren't facts. Okay feelings aren't facts feelings are just feelings. Okay And when you begin to get to know someone oftentimes we have this chemical cocktail of Oxytocin and dopamine and testosterone and estrogen and serotonin all being released from our body and we feel good in the moment You see a true emotional grown-up Knows clearly what they want in the form of a relationship. They are crystal clear. There's no ambivalence. There's no past relationship That's um, that's you know Occupying real estate in someone's mind. They are very crystal clear And when a person is crystal clear, they'll demonstrate loyalty in this way Many of you might be familiar with something known as my dating vows my dating vows. Okay By the way, there's a link to get my dating vows below But just like the code of conduct that military people stay just like the 10 commandments for a relationship essentials that dr Stan tackman talks about The dating vows is an agreement that you make before you become physically intimate that says the following We and you each recite this i jonathan or i Catherine Agree to explore the process of getting to know you with the intent to declare something serious in the next three to six months I believe if you are not clearly serious between the third and sixth month If it's still ambiguous If it's vague If it's not progressing Then you're going to find yourself in that casual or situation ship. Okay Number two I agree to be monogamous sexually while we have regular sex together You look that person in the eye and you say i'm going to be monogamous and you request that the other person Do that does that mean they'll be loyal to it? No, but you know what we all have You know a virtue button in the back of our mind and when we're out of integrity We usually if we're going to be out of integrity. We usually end the relationship sooner rather than later Not always but most of the time I agree to not actively seek to meet and date others while we're in this dating process including taking down our dating profiles I agree to speak up if this isn't working for me versus pulling back ghosting or disappearing And I agree to invest regular time in the process to get to know you Which looks like and for jonathan's sake it looks like this We spend three or four days and nights a week together doing shared activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends Traveling together teamwork building skills both in our personal and our professional life intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy that leads to either moving in together or getting married That is my standard folks The standards represent the rules of engagement If someone doesn't believe in your standard If they don't adhere to your standard Then you're not in the same you're not Okay, I want you to think of like a library, okay You know in library there's books, okay? And then there's books or you know, there's two books put together and they're on a bookshelf And they're in a certain aisle in a certain section in this library If you're not even on the same bookshelf, then you shouldn't be investing time with this person And let me just say this 90 percent of men will bail on this because there's thousands of women will have sex with them Without commitment or agreement whatsoever if all women band together going forward This will change how men treat and view sex But in the meantime if he does agree you have a better chance of commitment than without it I have clients who call me all the time jonathan. I am using your radical honesty Radical honesty techniques. I'm laying my cards on the table and I'm establishing the rules of engagement I'm having these conversations in the very early stages of getting to know someone and guess what? Men are stepping up Men need direction It's just nobody knows most men are rather clueless. They're winging it. They're winging it and since it's only women that listen to me I invite you to send this video off out to men and let them criticize it You know, but those aren't the legit guys. Anyway, the legit guy is going to hear this and go, you know what? jonathan, you just made my job easier.  I'm with you. My little kid just wants to be hugged and loved At the same time the grown-up wants to be in a grown-up relationship And this is a grown-up way of approaching it But jonathan all the dating coaches tell me otherwise. Well, by the way, if all these other dating coaches were so right Why do we have such a miserable? Dating marketplace and god think about it. We have over a here in the united states I think we have a hundred million singles now. I mean it's you there's more singles than there are couples There's a reason for it. It's time to make a paradigm shift. Is this sinking in is this resonating? Please let me know All right, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
