It's got fiber.  So trip off this I thought now some people They don't smell the you know, they don't have that smell And I thought it was because genetically speaking some people just don't produce chemistry They don't produce the whatever the chemical that probably pairs with that that makes it smell that and the smell I believe the name of the thing monion kind of smell. No, it's actually called like a sparrig gosalus Or something named after sparrig is it's some compound that makes your pee smell But so here's what trip me out.   No, no, no, no Everybody's people can't smell that it smells. Yeah, so so whatever's in your pee that makes it.  Why does that require a study?  No, you're wrong Study science over. Yeah.  Yes.   Yes. Yes, sometimes You can smell your own breath. I can taste you ever To your hands doesn't work. Oh my god. It works. Does it really?     Yeah all the time. I can't help it Who does that? Uh, well you're kind of a bully too. You're not as bad as Justin.  I say what's on my mind.  That was real funny. It was actually hilarious I think I gotta ask and then that night I lit a couple like voodoo calendar Candles, excuse me to get some karma to come back and then it's weird that you fell off the the ladder the other day Wow, I feel like I know I keep saying that he's gonna think I pushed him off Do you see uh, taylor starting to make a series on the mind pump media? Instagram of like the people that come in and do their makeup and stuff on the the mirror windows Oh, yeah, because a lot a lot of times when he's working people coming over and Somebody did you see the one he did yesterday? I'm waiting for someone to like Scratch their junk or something in front of because we have the listeners don't know our facility our media facility Is on it's like a storefront on a very busy Part of San Jose and we didn't plan it that way because we're not a public. We don't there's nobody's coming in off the streets To come into our business. It's all just for media.  Let's get it and then we put mirror tint because we don't want people to know that We're here.

You know what I mean? He's just like walking around zero fucks He's actually wearing a mic pump. Yes. Where'd he get it?  I was wondering. I thought maybe that's my theory I thought maybe goodwill or something like that. I mean come on.  Maybe, you know, but like more than likely I think he went to our dumpster because he's local. Oh that makes way more sense now Is he the same guy that chills on the on the lawn over at the church?  They've got it's it's actually I almost got I told you guys a story I almost got in a freaking rumble and when I say rumble I mean, yeah, like there was one homeless dude that I had to take his boxed wine to get him to move because he was We're not he was like sitting on your backpack, right?

It's it works. You just start writing a list It's actually sound stupid and I was super reluctant to do it because it sounds so simple But when I did it when I wrote a list out of the important things I need to do And then just went down the list check by check you get a feeling of like relaxation almost because that's all it is simplified Yeah, the feeling of being overwhelmed Many times just comes from the sense of being unorganized It's not necessarily that there's yes, you have a lot to do But the fact that you don't know what to do first and how to do it Is what gives you that overwhelm well, I think you guys also brought up Minimalist the minimalism like kind of documentary a long time ago And uh, me and my wife actually watched that a couple weeks ago And it really did sort of resonate and like strike a chord with me as far as like Just the organization of my house the organization of my clothes You know the the the certain things that I'm into and and then really trying to hone in On you know, what what its purpose is and in my everyday process because if there's too many things and I just even I even visually if I'm seeing too many things that are Bring this kind of like chaotic Feeling You know why why like why not just get rid of it? You know just simplify simplify everything and then once I started doing that because I mean I was doing You know, I was trying to launch this product I was trying you know Trying to do all this stuff for for mine pumping the business and and then you know The kids and schedule and in soccer and like taking all these things on And it's just like man. Yeah, you can you just feel that you feel all that just just slowly creep up creep up And and so yeah, just taking massive action to um, you know simplify things and prioritize things for sure I uh, I smoke a joint and go to the movies. There you go So and you know best advice. He had a method. Well, let's let's unpack that right? I think you're I think you're both Right, I think that uh, the feeling of being overwhelmed most times is just your perception, right? It's that you've got so much on your mind or you've got this huge project that just feels Overwhelming and that's that's your perception of it. Is it really is at the end of life? Is it a big and so so state change you laugh and you say that but I'm dead serious Like this is a something that happens in my life on a fairly regular basis So I'm not smoking getting high and going to the movies every day obviously Uh, but I mean a true feeling of overwhelm which 100 I can relate to this feeling And I think everybody in this room has felt that before if you're a grinder go getter Like somebody who's after doing a lot on in your life Like it's it's inevitable. This feeling will probably happen But when it does I I know that that's because I'm so attached to whatever it is that I'm hyper focused on That's causing this feeling of being overwhelmed And so literally I'll be overwhelmed with work. I'll have all this stress that's going on if I get it If it gets to that point where I actually think it's overwhelming and I feel that which is Rare but does happen. Uh, I would say probably Four to six times a year for me and when that happens I literally stop in my day. It could be a Tuesday at noon and I will literally stop working stop Whatever is making me feel overwhelmed. I'll go smoke a joint. I'll go watch a movie all by myself at the theater And what that is if you unpack it and you really think about why that's like magical for me Is it it allows me to detach from this thing that Is causing this or making me feel overwhelmed and it gives me a new perspective on things And I love to watch the movie so maybe it's not a movie for you And maybe you don't smoke weed so don't I'm not advocating smoking weed those two things allow me to detach from everything else I like to be entertained by something that doesn't make me have to think all time where I'm constantly reading I'm constantly watching documentaries. I'm constantly doing business stuff. I'm I'm constantly grinding and working So watching a mindless comedy or a movie that doesn't make my brain turn a million miles an hour Causes me to really detach from that and it gives me perspective on other things And I and I normally walk out of the movie laughing and enjoying and realizing. Oh my god I just had two hours of not thinking about that stuff. It's really not that big of a deal I'm allowing this thing to make me feel overwhelmed. Does that make sense? Yes, and I mean The thing you want to consider what the feeling of being overwhelmed is that it is a A symptom of anxiety It's a feeling So things that can reduce anxiety can help quite a bit with the feeling of being overwhelmed Like adam saying like for him. He found something that works that gets him to feel You know reduce that sense of anxiety and then because if you've ever suffered from any type of anxiety Which if you're human you have everybody has You know that you're far less effective So if you have 15 things you need to do today But you feel anxious about it which translates into feeling overwhelmed You become very inefficient at doing those things and you can't Get anything done. You tend to freeze up You tend to not do anything And then you go to the next day and out piles piles onto the next day So techniques to reduce anxiety Are definitely a good part of the process something I've recently been using quite a bit is The mushroom rayishi Rayishi does produce a calming effect in the body both acutely And chronically in other words if you use it on a regular basis There seems to be this cumulative effect where it just starts to work better and better But you also get a you can also get an acute effect if you were to take rayishi mushroom Now and you're feeling anxious. You're likely to feel a little bit of You know relief Passion flower is something else that you can use Chaga is another mushroom that I've used Or recommended now to clients. We have a good sponsorship with four sigmatic now So now I'm recommending more of those mainly because I see how effective they are and I'm familiar with the science but Yeah, my wife's been using the rayishi and yeah, and that's been helping because We've both kind of gone through these spells together of you know, like going through this anxiety and like It got to a point where it became really physical, you know And like I actually went to the hospital like she like had You know a physical reaction And you know, this is something that we quickly realized like we were just letting this happen based off of like Our day-to-day like habits and we were just taking everything on taking all this kind of stress on and You know, so she's been working with that. I've been working with You know my posture and the way that I'm just focused more on breathing and just opening myself So I've noticed, you know with just the way that you carry yourself A lot of times even with the posture if you're not getting a nice deep breath throughout your day I mean you just I mean that compiles and over the next day in the next day all of a sudden now I'm like I'm really like, you know tensing up and I'm keeping a lot of this this needless Stress and and it's turning into anxiety which bleeds into like Like the overwhelm feeling like all of a sudden now like all these things matter so much and I'm taking on this You know like this feeling towards it and I like what you said about the minimalist attitude like We do there's so much shit that we do and have that contributes to our anxiety that We don't need to have it is it is, you know, a wonderful of a feeling it is to Come to terms with the fact that you don't need a lot of shit And you end up not getting a lot of shit and now you're just like, well, I feel like so much better I realized that I didn't need that stuff.  There's a lot of shit going on the organizing Tasks and you know putting them in order Of you know priority and when to finish them and how to do them is a fantastic method of Making yourself more efficient you go to any company any business and this is the one of the basic things that they do You can't you know, you can't just go somewhere and say, okay Here's what we're going to accomplish That could be a bad thing too though kind of like tracking your food with with like what we talk about like, you know There's pluses and minuses to that, right?  Yeah, and I think there's I think you have to I think you have to Preface that a bit or give that warning with that is that you know, hey Getting more organized can help this situation, but it could also Uh, um make it worse. Yeah, you could you could if you I mean you could sit there and become OCD about everything to the point where then that creates right anxiety for you. Absolutely But like, you know, you know when I have my kids like I I know what time I wake up I know the order of things that I do in the morning so that they have their lunch ready So that I can check their homework so I have time to do my meditation my workout Then I know what time I wake them up Walk them to school and it's just the structure that I create that It alleviates a lot of that sense of anxiety and overwhelming in the morning because I know the times I'm going to accomplish these different things and what I'm going to do and it's like no problem Like everything's thought out and processed and so it really does make a big difference The hard thing is when you're in this state of mind When you're sitting there feeling like fuck, I can't finish everything. There's too much stuff to do And someone comes to you and says hey make a list like you want to punch them in the face Like that was my that was my response like what are you talking about like I don't want to do that and it's like You have to understand that your reluctance to do that is just the reflection of your anxiety Literally just relax with that whole like I don't want to make a list And just write a list because almost like you don't want to see what's on the list I know that's how I feel like I don't want to write this because then I got to look at all this shit That I got to do it's almost like I'm trying to run away from it, but you can't so you know just Calm yourself down Write that thing out write that list out start knocking things off your list after about two or three of them and you'll feel So much better write history quick commercial break you guys we keep getting asked all the time How can I support the mine pump family? Here's one of the best ways you guys can you guys love that chimera coffee that we have Chimera coffee with a k you go to chimera coffee.com Put in the discount code mine pump for 10 at the checkout if you guys have not tried ben greenfield's new bars out They're fantastic.  What's the effect of digestive enzymes on protein absorption and muscle game You pick this one adam Yeah, yeah the more the more protein that you eat the the more you're gonna need That's that's something that when you have somebody who's oh like this is why You know we talk about uh protein absorption with you know the oversaturating by consuming 200 300 400 grams of protein No one really takes an account to like the the digestive enzymes play a factor in this and that that's an important Part of it and if you're consuming so much meat so much protein and you're not getting enough foods That have enough digestive enzymes. You're also hindering that whole process too. And nobody really talks about this. No, you are And the one single thing you can do to optimize your digestive enzymes More than anything else naturally Is to thoroughly chew your food that that right there will signal your first of all there's enzymes in your saliva Which start to break down food people don't realize uh that chewing your food is digesting your food You have started the digestive process if you don't chew your food properly.    It's just I did that So I it gave me a new perspective of how I was consuming my food And that was what that was the takeaway for me And so I think that is what I've been trying to teach and tell people I'm not saying like I don't tell people like hey, don't ever have fluids and whatever You know I'm saying when you're when you're eating food I say try and eat a meal without it and pay attention to the way you chew It's interesting. Yeah, because the I mean the fast food culture I mean, we've been like trying to engineer this this process to speed up and get back to work You know, like everybody has this like massive Hustle in their mentality with like their lunch breaks and all these kinds of things and they're just You know scarfing it in as quick as possible It's a very it's a very when you really think about it.  It looks so delicious and I say hey Let me blend that burger up and inject it directly into your stomach so you can have it Would you want to do that? No because you didn't experience it, right? It's in your belly, but you didn't get to chew it and experience it and yet you taste it for like A second and yet what do people do when they eat something they really want to eat?   It's so don't you take a digestive enzyme. No, I only date So I have a digestive enzymes that I will take with me On trips when I'm eating Food that contain gluten or some dairy like lactase for example lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose In in dairy and I am not only am I do I have an issue with milk proteins? But I also don't break down lactate lactose very well So I'll take that and some of the enzymes in there will help A little bit with gluten which I tend to have a little bit of an issue with although these days It seems like I can eat gluten You know a couple times a week and I have a problem because I've done so this is why I wanted to bring this question up Too because I knew that you did use that and I do know that As far as supplementing with digestive enzymes It typically is most beneficial for people to have like irritable bowel syndrome or have coming issues like you If you have gut issues if you have acid reflux by the way acid reflux and gird and all that It's not the result of too much acid.   I don't do it anymore. I don't need fluid And I just so funny it's such an argument I see is because I totally had a problem like choking like And I didn't realize that like it was my it was it was the amount of like I just wouldn't chew enough like I would just eat and then just eat like big chunks and just swallow it And then we'll try and wash it down and the process was all about trying to like wash it down and pack it down in there Well, that you think about all of us went through that at one But we were all trying to gain weight to get build build Yeah, that was the process right and like when you think I can recall many times Shoveling shakes down and you know, I remember like having a you know 800 calorie protein shake while I had my meal and I would take a bite and wash it down with the shake and like literally just Swallowed all not even really chewy So think about what you're right, right? So it's so thick with but I know I know there's got to be younger guys And and and maybe even girls that are trying to build and build and add calories to their diet I would say unless you're on the extreme ends of the spectrum Even then I don't know if it's necessarily going to give you a benefit To supplement with digestive enzymes. See here's the thing with digestive enzymes We know what they do, right? They break down protein into amino acids so your body can now utilize the protein whatever So supplement companies taking this next step and say, oh This is going to make you utilize more protein more effectively more efficiently. You can shovel more protein for the most part Unless again, you have issues with your with your gut, especially if you have bad issues like Crohn's disease Um, uh, or you're been diagnosed with really bad acid reflux You're producing all the enzymes you need just eat properly and chew your food well and you're going to have them all Well, and most don't liver disease is another one most protein shakes and some of that ain't put digestive enzymes It sounds cool, right? No, no, I mean But I mean like you're you're already getting what you need from probably the shakes and bars What makes me laugh about that is you are when you're that's probably the a shake is probably What you would need the least amount of digestive enzymes considering That's already my process. Yeah, it's already it's fluid.   So Um, I mean that all the liver disease. I think people liver disease age related, uh deficiencies in Uh, digestive enzymes like those people might benefit, but otherwise I think it's so well I will I will say though. I've had clients that I think are on the like kind of like you're in where I've like just looked at their diet and looked at what kind of foods they were getting And they just weren't getting a lot of foods that were that were rich and digestive enzyme like bell peppers and different fruits and things like that That they never really got that in their rotation And yet they their stomach always felt backed up or weird and by me helping them just adding those foods into their diet They felt relief there. So I do think if you're somebody I don't think there's a need to supplement for it unless you have a specific issue like Like an irritable bowel syndrome or actually, you know, you've been diagnosed with tummy issues like sow Another one you could look at too for digestion is so a lot of people Um Have issues with like I like we're talking about digestive issues and they have too little. Uh, they produce too little acid One of the things you can do you can actually buy Um, uh a hcl supplement, which is uh, I believe it's hydrochloric acid if I'm not or no Betting hydrochlor chloride Um, which uh will increase the amount of hydrochloric acid in your stomach So for some people they can do this when they eat a lot of meat Because you'll see people like people with acid reflex. They'll say, oh my god, when I eat a lot of meat I just get this really bad, you know, and it's because again, they're not producing enough acid They can supplement with this and it helps Mike Salami is the one that introduced me to this and Paul checks talks about this as well that this supplement may help some people. So just a little side note Next up is glen spt Do you guys believe that resistance training is sufficient for maintaining cardiovascular health? Or that some sort of aerobic exercise should exist week to week If so, how would you incorporate aerobic exercise into a maps program? I do with a good diet Yeah, oh totally If you eat well and you train and you phase and you have like our phase four of fucking Map screen in there occasionally like you should like I mean, yeah, I think you get I think you get plenty of cardio in that phase Right, you know what I love about resistance training Is that you can you can if you know how to use weights properly you can do anything with them This is not true with other methods of exercise like I'm not going to get good strength with cardiovascular activity It's going to be very it'll be very very I'll get a little bit but very Yeah, a little bit like sprinting when you're running or something but like even then yeah The gains are minimal I could take someone and I could take two groups of people and one group's you know And the goal is to improve Cardiovascular endurance for a particular sport or activity And on the one one group over here It's okay All you get to do is cardio And then the other group I said all you get to do is use weights and then I program the weights I'll build way better cardio with the weight group by having them do things like circuits and you know High-intensity interval type training with actually we just actually me and adam filmed a whole series It's getting edited right now on youtube on that so For cardiovascular health You don't need to have extreme amounts of cardiovascular performance for health. You just need to move right move every day If you walk every single day and you stay active you're done like that's what you that's what you have Now if you want a little bit more endurance You can definitely get that through Programming your resistance training in a way that you're going to aim for visit for endurance Like like we said with circuits or you can do some cardio The way that I have people program cardio in their maps programs is typically first I tell them just increase their their knee their, you know, non-exercise You know activity thermogenesis just being active And then if they want to add cardio, I'll tell them, you know, no problem 30 minutes three days a week just if you enjoy doing it for your health Get on a machine and go forward or go outside And that's pretty much it if you want to improve. Yeah, that's just scheduled activity Yeah, you know, that's all cardio is like it waits to me feels like a lot more specific like to You know, I have totally different ways to adapt, you know to these types of loads that I'm placing on my body and my joints and so There's just so much benefit to that, you know, when I'm going to to grab something lift something like, you know Do strenuous activity like I want to be strong, you know, and that's that's like always been a Something as you know an adaptation I need to to maintain and to keep that going into, you know, as I get older especially Right, I feel like people are always finding like different ways to ask us questions about cardio because They want it so bad, right and and I feel like there's nothing wrong with doing it No, exactly. No, this is what I want to state is that listen, uh, none of us here And I joke about saying, you know, no no cardio or I don't do cardio Yeah, no sweat.  I'm what I'm talking to is is our experience and all the people that we've trained And I'm looking at as a whole the relationship that most people have with with cardio and training that way Is is not a healthy one and they don't fully understand One how to use it properly and then two how to really maximize it for their purpose and there's not your fat burning go to Yeah, exactly.  Here's I made this statement on another podcast and I want to say it again Because I want to hammer at home, okay Every extra amount or every all the extra time that you devote to cardio That's above and beyond improving your health just cardiovascular health. So now I'm pushing my cardio I'm pushing it a little bit every single bit of that is telling your body to become more efficient with activity and calories aka Slow down your metabolism. So the more cardio you apply That's beyond just your overall health, but you don't need much for overall health The more you apply The the more your body is going to try to become more efficient by slowing its metabolism down So if you're a six days a week, you know 45 minutes of cardio an hour of cardio A day person you are telling your body very loudly Hey, man, slow down your metabolism become more efficient because you're burning all these calories manually so that I can become better at doing the 60 minutes of cardio every single day and that's You know, again, if you just love doing it go for it. It's great.  So that's really that's really why one of the main reasons why resistance training why we think it's so superior because the problems with the modern lifestyle have to do with over consumption and Not burning enough calories and resistance training keeps your metabolism fast or at least tells your body It's okay to burn more calories because we need muscle. So it's just directly combats Modern health problems cardio definitely a part of health definitely good for you But you overdo it and you're you're kind of pushing putting yourself down You get more than enough when you get through phase four of maps green for sure I mean in the fall the end of the question was how would we incorporate this into maps program? This is what I would do if I had all the maps programs Which is a year's worth of personal training all program and lined out for me And it's ideal for you to cycle through all of them Right if if we're looking for overall health being in shape performance everything just overall it's there, right? That's do not deviate follow it from point a point b all the way through With whatever little modifications that you like to do for exercises things here and there But for the most part you're sticking to it to a t and then I'm going to use my cardio Based off of the events throughout the year. So let's say guess what in four weeks I'm going to vegas So you know what I'm going to add some cardio into my life for the next four weeks And I'm going to do it strategically so I'm not going to go pause the wall the first week I'm going to do two or three days of the week I'm going to add some cardio in there in addition to everything else I was already doing and then The next week I'm going to add a little bit more and then maybe pick up my intensity the next week Of that maybe add a little bit more and intensity the week after that and then guess what I'm there Now I'm in vegas and I'm in the best shape and and because I added it like that My body responded and it changed and it got me in better shape Just stick into everything else that I was doing just by adding it to help lean me out or get me in shape like that or let's say I'm you know now it's october the Spartan championship races and I'm into obstacle course racing and I said you know what fucking sign me up to obstacle course racing I don't care to win. I just want to do with my buddies. I still care more about my muscle building program I'm going through right now I'm going to incorporate a cardio program to help You know train me for getting ready for that, which is I'm going to over a probably a nine week or so Intermittently build up your conditioning. Yeah, it's all scheduled out And I think it's great to have that you know applied to your programming as long as there's a specific goal in mind It and you have a healthy mentality towards it like you're you're phasing it in and you're you know, you just really like to include Um, you know having that that's sort of what a lot of people call in shape kind of feeling right because you feel like You can endure You know some of these workouts even better and you just have more stamina But um, you know, that's that's up to you.  It's not the you know the go-to like I have to Accomplish, you know my treadmill work every single day Like that that's a mentality that we're trying to combat with our message Quick commercial break.

What advice would you give a very busy college student who can't find time to work out and eat Healthy, oh, I love this question. I wish you could see the face When I heard that question, but you're still eating though, right so um You know, I get to see what your instagram page looks like and uh, you have let's see a thousand followers and tons Tons of time spent posting selfies, you know the average Oh snap the average person Uh, especially in this age group spends hours a day On social media hours a day Um, this you know when I hear people say to me the average is two and a half to four hours When I yeah, so when I hear people say to me like I don't have I don't have two point five to four hours every day That is on average Waste when I hear people say I don't have the time to like work out and you know eat healthy. I have look. I've been in fitness for 20 years I've never met anybody ever who legit legit does not have time to Make, uh, you know to place health as a priority. Uh, and again, it's not about finding time It's about making time.   So but I don't I don't mean to be the nice guy I well, you can't do it. Well, here's it. I I have trained he thought about it and then he's like nah I gotta go back to my comfort zone I've trained a lot a lot of 20 to 25 year old cute college girls. Oh, really? Yeah, absolutely Happens to be my wheelhouse So So, I mean, I'm assuming she's somewhere in that age She's a very pretty girl and she's in pretty good shape already And um, and this is a conversation that I normally have with it's along the lines of where sal was just going right now is that Listen, uh, it's we all and in you if you have pretty good genetics and you're cute You can get by all the way till about 26 years old So and at that there's a lot of science From 20 to because you have good genetics because you're pretty you're good looking you can drink on weekends You can occasionally go for a run or exercise every now and then or dance a lot at the club Like all these things just do Pilates like once and you can maintain a decent physique where you have no problem Attracting the opposite sex whatsoever and you're having a good time And you know, you should probably work out because everyone's telling you that you like this mind pump podcast These guys tell you to work out But it's not really a priority. So which is that's fine because two age their own I mean if you if if college time party have fun is the priority and that's all you care about that's okay but If you're asking a question on here and you really Want to get in shape and you want to eat health and you want to do then you'll fucking do it And you'll make it a priority And it's okay if you do and it's okay if you don't but I will tell you this That and this will happen if you do not Learn and you don't put like some practice or put some sort of Regimen together On what it takes to get you in whatever the best shape of your life looks like And you don't know what it takes and you've because you've never put yourself through that and you don't do You don't start exploring that until you get to the age that sal saying which is this is very common We've dealt with I've dealt with hundreds of these Where you know a a woman hires me at 32 to 35 years old And she's been married and she's had three kids now.  They're never they're never drinking Yeah, and then if they've let it because that shit's compounding. I'll tell you and it gets 10 times harder Like what sal was saying, I'll tell you what uh, maybe you have maybe she has the misperception That you need to work out seven days a week For an hour and a half because sometimes people say I don't have time And and I think in their mind they think they need to have like they need to work out every day and just just live This lifestyle. Yeah, that does sound like a lot, right? You don't actually you don't need to do all that A few days a week is all you need. Here's what I'm gonna do because I was mean to you earlier So I'm gonna do if you listen to this episode DM me and I'll hook you up with maps anywhere maps anywhere We designed to be with no way to you do the whole program without any equipment You don't need to go to a gym.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here? We're gonna talk today about when exactly screen 5 should come out. What would make the most sense marketing wise? What would make the most amount of What would make the biggest impact at the box office in terms of a release and at the same time talk about the downfall of screen 4 and How they need to use screen 4 to learn from the marketing mistakes that screen 4 had in the Weinsteins and that whole Whole or deal with screen 4 and use it to their advantage in ways to improve the marketing for screen 5 Now we know screen 5 is supposed to start filming later this fall in Wilmington, North Carolina And we have our directors Matt Bellinelli Tyler Gila who we know are responsible for the horror hit ready or not from last year The horror comedy hit ready or not Which was a very very good movie for what it was And then on top of that we know that officially David Arquette is gonna be reprising his role as doing Riley We have Kevin Williamson on board as the executive producer. He wrote the first two movies and he wrote screen 4 He did an outline for screen 3. He never got to actually do anything with it And then of course we know that we have our writers for screen 5 We have now found out who was gonna be writing the script is gonna be a coat a Coal team of writers who were working on this project to hopefully live up to the legacy of West Craven And we know that Neve Campbell is in discussions to come back on board at Sydney Prescott So they already tells us that they have some type of role for Sydney in the script They possibly reaching out to Courtney Cox possibly reaching out to Hayden Pantier They're possibly reaching out to other legacy cast members who they want to get back on board to have them in this film in some capacity One shape or in one shape or another Regardless if they bring them back to life if they have them in an hallucination We don't know what direction this movie is gonna take But getting into when I believe it should come out next year is gonna be the 25th anniversary of the original film's release A lot of people want this movie to be out in time for screen 4's anniversary in April of 2021 You can do that as well But again screen 4 isn't a movie that many people remember. I my honest opinion No one remembers screen 4 outside of screen fans in my honest opinion die-hard screen fans are the only people who run Around talking about screen 4 coming out 10 years ago something like screen a movie like screen the original screen That's recognized by multiple people even people who were not even fans of the genre people who are not even fans of the film That movie in itself the original screen West Craven's original 1996 movie That gets more recognition for an anniversary than a screen 4 will especially 25 years later Screen 4 is gonna be having its 24th not 25th not 24 25th anniversary next December the movie came out December 21st of 2020 not 2020 it came out to December 21st of 1996 next year is gonna be the 25th anniversary of that I Believe that will put us in the week of Christmas Eve next year. So I don't think they were released in Christmas Eve I don't think that would be the smartest thing they could they could take that ultimate risk and put it out In Christmas on Christmas Eve because I know a lot of people back when screen came out in theaters They thought because the movie was coming out in December that that was the mentions way of saying oh Well, hey, we're gonna dump the trash here since this is they didn't have I don't I don't think they had a lot of faith in the project Hey, they didn't realize they had a hit on their hands. So that's why they dumped it in December at that time The dumping it in December now on the 25th anniversary of the original screen using the 25th anniversary in the marketing for the release of the upcoming fifth movie on top of the fact that you might want to have cast reunions around Around the around the time of the film possibly coming out Have them show up at conventions that go on. There's several conventions that go on Throughout the year so cast members of screen 5 and for the original screen could show up at different events We could have Several different several different things happen like for one for one thing In screen 4 we have a ghost face app that is present on everyone's iPhone That would be very cool to see as a marketing tool once again for screen 5 I know that was a marketing tool for screen 4 and I believe it kind of just vanished Off of the app stores once screen 4 came out the voice app didn't necessarily make you sound exactly like ghost face But you get what I'm saying Use that to their advantage Re-release the original trilogy come out with a new box set promote that maybe have Maybe somehow a shout shout factory scream factory release some collectors editions of the original movies To promote the anticipating release of screen 5 when it comes out in theaters in December That's some things that people that's some things that could be done. Of course to amp up the marketing get people excited Have us have let's say Interactive things to to kind of amp up the marketing a bit in it when I say interactive like Possibly have Q&A's on Twitter because again when screen 4 came out social media was in its infancy Social media is up and running and has both of its full it has both of its legs at full strength Now we could have several different things to use to get people excited for screen 5 and let them know ghost faces back Oh, hey, there's a new screen movie coming out We could have live Twitter Q&A's with the cast live Twitter Q&A's with the crew to answer any questions about their thoughts on participating in screen 5 Answering anything that answering to tease fans on what they could expect from screen 5 Sharing their thoughts on their love for the franchise and the franchise's legacy We could get another documentary put together of sorts if they wanted to go all the way spike spyglass media There's several things that could be done It's a matter of if any of this will actually if they will take this take this must act take this much action Because I feel like honestly with the low box office reception from screen 4 a lot of action needs to be taken With screen 5 coming out to amp up the marketing with the with the film because in screen when screen 4 came out It had a budget of $40 million if I'm not mistaken, but it only made like $90 or $90 million at the box office in return A screen movie doesn't need to have that hive of budget either I feel like you could get away with a budget of $10 million and that's it 10 million dollars 10 million dollar budget for a film is enough and then you can have a decent slasher film told You could of course make make back that money when it comes out in December Releasing it around the time of the original film is something that would be ideal for me A lot of people will want to see come out in October if I'm not mistaken if everything still goes as planned Halloween end is supposed to come out in October. So I don't really want to see Halloween ends and screen 5 competing at the box office. I know that would be everyone's biggest biggest wet dream because everybody likes to fantasize about ghost face verges versus Michael Meyer something that couldn't possibly happen because They've made it perfectly clear that they don't exist in each other's universe in the original screen They're watching Halloween and in Halloween age two old. They're watching screen, too So and on top of that ghost face isn't a person ghost face is just a costume So when you're saying you want to see Michael Myers versus ghost face Which one do you want to see him up against you want to see him up against billy want to see him up against Roman stew What are we talking about here because if you just put him up against that costume Michael Myers is gonna win People want to see the movie come out in October possibly I don't want to see that Let halloween ends have its time to shine Put screen 5 out in a time where there's not that much competition. Of course, that might be something unavoidable given That we don't know what exactly is going to be coming out in December 2021 just yet as far as like overall but of course If scream is there in itself in December 2021 and the whole marketing scheme is promoting The the fifth film arriving on the 25th anniversary just in time for the 25th anniversary of the original And we have the cast and crew actively promoting it all over instagram twitter social media facebook tv spots are more rampant than Than they were with screen 4 People of course me myself Content creators who are now always making videos about the film There's several things are gonna that I feel would Be you can be used as marketing tools Not only the fact that the filmmakers spyglass media themselves could do a lot to promote screen 5 but Me as a content creator and other content creators like 3c films dave mccray Uh, we watched the movie everybody who's always talking about horror movies in the horror community on youtube We're gonna be talking about the project a lot of course So that'll just draw more attention to it. That'll get people excited about it Of course, we also have the screenings that go on press screenings where people and the critics see the films And everybody's waiting to see what the first word of mouth was and then that creates all this initial buzz and hype around the project The next thing you know, everybody can't wait to see it Then at least to a big return in the profit at box office because the critics loved it The rye and tomato score was released and yada yada yada And of course, we know people are gonna want to go out and see it more people who are more reluctant Reluctant to see it might be more likely to see it if they have a good premiere good first word of mouth If they have niff camber back, of course, and they have the original trio And they have a fresh young cast that a lot of people are interested in that's why a lot of people want to see selena Gomez in screen five if selena Gomez is in is in screen five I guarantee you that that's gonna instantly be something that can help out with the box office I guarantee you you don't have to like selena Gomez, but I guarantee you she would be a draw She would be a draw to get people in the seats in the theaters to see screen five People who don't even know what scream is or people who just grew up on screen four They would return of course to see selena Gomez a very big fan of hers I just really hope that we get screen five in december of 2021 in time for the 25th anniversary of the original film And I hope they go full full steam ahead with the marketing posters everywhere Q&As with the cast and crew Cast and crew doing nothing but promoting it on social media every chance they get Uh Re-releasing the original films on a new box set collectors editions Maybe even having them show up at conventions Broadcasting the trailer on a big a big platform in some way shape or form at a random time Possibly how like chris rinolen just dropped the tenet trailer on fortnight draw attention to it like that uh Also just bringing back that ghostface app that I was mentioning bringing back the ghostface app Bringing back several different things that were used for screen four's marketing Uh mobile app games a voice changer app countdown the horror film countdown had a literal countdown app So pretty sure if countdown can return a profit you can return a profit with screen five and having Nothing but a ghostface app for a voice changer Uh, I'm really looking forward to seeing screen five. I hope it comes out in december of 2021 Like I made mention of in this video All the marketing is very well thought out and very very well executed Let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe and turn on post notifications so that you never miss a video In the description, I'll have links on my social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram You can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or reviews You would like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video


rental assistance funds i mean they keep it you know they keep it open-ended for for these families and young people to figure out what would help them best um so i don't know if we you know even if we made a motion just in support of this would that even matter but um i do feel that this comes closer that's all pretty much one to say thank you date debora yeah i mean i guess in in terms of like addressing this issue it comes closer but i still have an issue with like number two um because it says you know all the time that particularly is a record post from the chief and i mean we've we've gone down that that that rabbit hole already twice you know with the reports um from the chief of police and and you know from pamela um so you know both times there's been holes and and the reports and hasn't hasn't really kind of gone over they haven't even spoken with miss pat as the representative of the the the students um i mean the student of the young people um and and included really that the young people and the families um perspectives um so i think yeah one and three at least go further because it has some some some some specific deadlines and things like that um but even three i don't know if it goes far enough right it's kind of like you know tom aston recent provide legal opinion on compensatory repair options um so you know what does that really mean um you know so i don't know we'd have to kind of think through i don't know if i'm ready to just say yes let's go with this one you know what i'm saying we'd have to think this through a little bit more it's supposed to just jump but at least it it's on the right step but number two you know it's it's not we'd have to really tweak that some more um because we've gone down that path already thank you deb miss pat so when i wanted to say you know you all have you know touched upon it number two um regardless whether the time council want to adopt the one that we produce it doesn't really matter we will submit it to them and if they want included is their issue but our goal should be to include the voices of the real witnesses that night the victims in our own comprehensive report based on the account of the kids who were dead that night regardless what they're doing we're going to produce our own report so there's nothing wrong with having you know multiple reports whether i'm not you know the time council accepted that's their problem but it will be out there publicly it will be part of our packet that should be our goal the truth will be exposed you know number three say nothing to me what i would like to see is the time council directing the town manager to come up with um you know work with the liaison that's me you know you know work work with the youth through the liaison or whatever to come up with you know agreeable uh negotiation for compensation i don't see what is research what does that mean so it's not going to stop legal process it will not bring reconciliation to our town it will not bring healing it's a waste of time i'm sorry thank you so other than um some of us may be attending that meeting as just audience um i would i don't even know if they're going to have public comment to even comment on these motions because i don't think they did last time so it might be something that if we're interested in trying to shape any of this deliberation with these motions to uh send to the general town council email perhaps how we could um if we're interested in trying to comment on any of these motions but we will see what happens on monday we're still having a meeting though with town council isn't there a joint meeting no no okay so this is it and if i may i don't think we should schedule any meeting with them until we know what we're getting out of the meeting you know but our respect group decision let's show them that we're tired of them tracking us around it's enough it has to be you know what are we getting out of the meeting in the future and not what they've done to us for the past meetings we can't take that anymore but i mean one of the one of the things though that i'm kind of like you know just kind of thinking through though i mean i don't think we need to send them anything like comprehensive but just a couple of lines to say just that that they've wasted our time that these motions do not at all reach what it is that we've said we've already communicated things to them they again disrespecting us by you know leaving us out of the meeting i mean i don't know if it's just enough for us to talk about it and not send them something to just have it documented so it's part of documentation in terms of where we stand it's something i'm thinking through in terms of timing the meeting is on monday i mean the coaches you know they are very very busy i mean is it practical to put out a statement to them you know that's right i hear you yeah the timing is is tough so um so icd has her hand up and then i have so i'll put my hand i don't know how to put my hand up in screen share mode can i take the screen down are we done with the screen okay thank you all for hanging in there with me and my brain no worries so yeah i'm still trying to figure out you know what what are our next steps so i hear you miss pat a report from the css jc that's more comprehensive includes the voices of the youth of the the families um that's that's one step and we could publish that certainly to the press as well um and not participating in this monday meeting is you know a way in which we can make sure that they understand we were disrespected uh we were ignored so why show up anyway so i'm just trying to figure out what's what's really our next steps and then lastly the other things within the cswg charge i'm really concerned about because you know here's the budgeting moment and our youth empowerment center is not funded our multicultural center is not funded you know so those are our concerns for me because are we missing an opportunity to make those arguments before the budget process so deb um well i mean i don't know if we shouldn't attend the meeting because obviously we have to monitor them you know i'm saying i mean maybe we need to have some represented we that doesn't mean all of us have to attend but you know maybe some of us need to just to monitor what's going on um and also like to add to that list that you said um we also need to make sure Pamela has a consultant for the oversight um board because that needs to be in place like asap you know that was really the only thing that one of the counselors i don't know who brought it up and stuff at the last meeting uh which which was to say you know we need to to get a consultant for for Pamela so that we can get that going because obviously that you know she and others have too much on their plate they're not going to be able to get that done and and that's something that needs to be in place like yesterday so that's another budget item that that needs to be kind of front and center um i wonder if kind of going off what Dee had said in building with Deborah i wonder if we we craft a very brief statement to try and send out to the press by monday's meeting just saying you know critiques we have a with the process that we've already been through with the town council be with these particular motions that are going before the town council tonight and highlighting the things that we do agree with in terms of let's put the console you know we want to see that there's a consultant for the resident oversight board and that there's a timeline put on that item um i think the youth empowerment center is another one that the way that it's crafted in the motion makes sense like we want this and this will be part of the capital improvement plan that means money um and the other you know i mean i think i obviously that i think the the language around the justice compensation fund would be not supported in in what's put forward but you know i i think if we can put a brief statement forward to the press um and you know send it to the town council email having our voice at the meeting or in front of the meeting um without you know being participants in the meeting and it's a lot to ask all of you to sit through another however many hours it's going to be of deliberations that's it's tiring and it's heartbreaking and a lot of work even if we're not even saying anything just sitting there and listening to all of that can be a lot so i you know i want to express my gratitude to all of you guys for for being in these meetings because they're tough and that's that's my do i have to be formal and say like can we do this how i make a motion do i make a motion to put forward a statement to the press should i do that i'll do it yeah i make a motion to put forward before you do that miss pat do you have a comment based on that before motion is made yes thank you alegra for thinking about the media because media thank you they've been very helpful instrumental in keeping this issue alive and i think it's a smart suggestion the reason why i say that even if we write even if the coaches agree with their busy schedule to write to the town council they won't read it people will not even know they only read stuff that favors them you know all you need to know is just last the the most recent meeting only one letter from a resident was read by a town councilor they don't read stuff that doesn't favor them so i think i what i'm trying to say is thank you i support um your suggestion we should do that alegra thank you frekke i believe we all have um relationships with some of the councillors um and i think this is an opportunity to um also individually um speak with them and um for others who might not have such a relationship find a way to bring them in so that we can um make good use of the democratic um process whatever we'll end up getting done will be done by the town council and it will be done by um the town manager as well whether that's going to be under duress or whether that's going to be from their own solution it's going to be done through those bodies and in that case we need to leverage under relationships that we have to make whatever um decision i'm done possible so i think it's a request that i'm making just not just for members of the committee but for also for those who um might end up listening to this um recording speak to the councillors whatever please you fall within this issue that's i think how the democratic and uh political process will work best thank you i see jennifer has her hand up yeah so there's only so much uh you can do without violating open meeting law frekke so that's that's an important uh note to to what note to to what you're proposing um uh the other thing is that i would rather just you know go back to depra's bandwidth i would rather because there's so much going on um here what they are going to decide on monday before we then issue a statement because let's say they decide something on monday and then we're going to have a response so let you know yay nay indifferent uh i'm sure it will be all imperfect and won't meet any of the needs of the young people and the families just from what we've seen of these motions that's not the direction they're really going in um but i would rather see what they end up voting on and then we can issue a statement that's in terms of process i would rather that than we end up making you know then we're going to have another statement to issue to the press so that's my suggestion but i will go with whatever the committee um decides i just noticed that um councilor dorothy p.m our liaison is in the audience okay is jennifer like is her hand up just because it's not down i'm not sure no my hand is up up okay so um i thought so let me just say i understand if you guys are frustrated and and the meetings have been long and and and it's a lot and it's emotional and it's hard but i thought at the end of the last meeting the decision was to schedule a meeting with everybody back even though it was about their motions because i thought councilor p.m had said you need to have them at the table like did and then they so they we knew that they were going to reschedule that meeting when they had that there was a meeting that just happened recently and it was tabled to the 14th is that what happened yes but without i mean they pulled the counselors but they did not pull us to see if we would be available and it is not a joint meeting from my understanding yeah she sent us an email saying that that you know we could be in the audience but it wasn't a meeting with us lin sent us okay so i didn't i wasn't aware of that okay and so yes councilor p.m is in the waiting room i or in the attendance and i don't know if she'd like to come in or not she could ask her to raise her hand well last time she said she she can't comment on things so i don't know i might be a waste of time yeah no yeah and it's getting late it's 9 20 i really i need to go my son needs to go to bed so what are we doing i think she can clarify Dorothy would you like i'll allow it's weird it says allow to talk um i press the button Dorothy would you like to clarify something for us i'm clarifying that a note was sent to the counselors that if they had new motions or additional motions to send them to lin by a certain date so just to clarify that what you saw as motions are in fact not necessarily the motions so um there is a 48 hour rule so i suppose that the motions that we will talk about would be in the packet within 48 hours but i believe someone can make a motion at the meeting in itself so it's your guess is as good as mine what the motion will be or how many motions there will be so i think that you did a good idea it was a good idea of discussing what was there just to clarify your thoughts and responses but i have no idea what's going to be so so no reason so thank you Dorothy so no reason to have a statement because it may change it definitely may change absolutely um you know so because she she did say i she's trying lin is trying to keep some control of this and to get them in advance and to be able to to give them to us but um you know that that she can't necessarily control even that so we don't know what it'll be thank you thank you thank you it is late it is not 21 yeah so i think we should put off making any statement until we find out what they're going to vote on because it it's as Dorothy clarified for us it can totally change so i i don't know if we have to make a motion for this report to be worked on miss pat but um i'm in agreement with that i don't know uh we didn't pull the rest of the the group okay we got thumbs up freke how you feel about it do you clarify this is the report that would be coming from the youth yeah a comprehensive report of july 5th incident that will include you know accounts of the victims who were there because their voices have been silenced and absent in the reports that we that the official town had issued so we need to you know get balanced in the report so i'm volunteering to coordinate that and have that report ready for our next meeting okay in that case i'm not opposed to reports i would simply be opposed to the reports being considered comprehensive well that's and that's said freke but the one the town put together wasn't comprehensive so it doesn't sound like we're going to get a comprehensive report the town so we're going to do our own report from the cssjc is what it sounds like yes and and and miss pat you're going to bring it to us anyway a draft form we'll talk about it because that's how you usually do it right yeah it's not like we're going to send it out freke yes miss pat has has volunteered to write it and then she'll bring it to the next meeting and then we'll discuss it i'm going to coordinate the writing of it yeah i'll make it happen thank you miss pat i of course trust you very well i know you wouldn't send that off without a leaf i'm simply again saying that what we are bringing in is a different reports and it's a report that includes the voices of dudes who we haven't heard from i think that's that's fine yeah we're basically going to do what time time council some of the time councilors not everybody doesn't want to see happen so we're going to make it happen they can't control us it's going to happen when the background is involved it will happen i'm the elder in this group listen to me yeah so as um the elders yes miss pat so when you send it for the next meeting you'll send it to to pam and jen and then absolutely yes and then we'll we'll review it yeah you'll get it any other comments regarding that no so i don't know when we're going to tackle other priorities but i would like to get a sense for next meeting if people could again review what css cs wg put out and figure out what is our next big priority the budgeting process is in is going on now what are we going to ask for all right so i move i make a motion to adjourn you get nope there we have the public comment forgive me public public comment yeah there are seven attendees i see one hand up hi good evening this is long nose can you hear me yes hi i thank you for allowing public comment and i probably should have just at the beginning um but i just wanted to uh share uh my appreciation because i am um at home and i'm able to share in the frustration i like three days um comment of you know embracing it but i really wish you know the frustration would be over with um i just wanted to say that um my son who is in the middle school he has been struggling a lot with with no getting to school and today he just told me that he doesn't feel safe in the school and when a child doesn't feel safe you know you can't argue with them you have to try to help them you know find out what's going on and i would just also like to suggest that the cssjc that you have listening sessions um somehow just like the ahra is you know planning listening sessions in the community perhaps you could do um listening sessions to really find out you know what parents are feeling what youth are feeling because we're usually when we try to approach the institutions like the schools um we're dealing with our own you know children and you don't really get a a scope or a whole understanding of like all the parents who are who are going through certain things um the other thing that i want to point out is something is a miss i i can't put my finger on it yet um but i you know you just have that that feeling like something is not right um with the post you know response to you know kids that that may be dealing with you know mental stress or you know anxiety or what have you that may have been exacerbated by the the covid um pandemic um but when we hear like the teachers on the last hometown council they're crying and they're asking for help i mean i just don't understand what where is the response from the leaders such as the superintendent i i know that you know the history of this town is you know a long history of perhaps like ignoring certain groups but i just i don't quite get why there's there is still like a a miscommunication a lack of communication with parents and with those you know teachers who are saying that they need help and i i i just understand why we're still hearing that and there's no response from the school committee it seems or the superintendent so i would just ask that um your committee help like facilitate some listening sessions with families um because like i said my my child says that he feels unsafe and i i need to respect him you know try to figure out what's what's going on um so thank you anyone else for tonight all righty well um is there anything else a leg that i'm missing december 14th is that that's the second tuesday yeah yeah i see it i will i won't be available but it's fine if i can just get a report from you all the whole week there will it be the whole that week um i'm i'm available like the 12th the 13th you know the week before but the the 14th on i yeah it's going to be complicated for me for those three days yeah how is so that people schedule that week um let's see so i will i think i'll be getting back on that wednesday from a trip okay i have the housing trust meeting the 15th i believe from seven to nine we don't want our staff to work on friday that's too much for them yeah uh would wednesday the 7th work that's the first wednesday of the month that was for me yeah that was for me okay all right so our next meeting will be wednesday the 7th let me stop fracking does that work for you seven she does okay awesome okay thank you all thank you appreciate it okay so um i make a motion to adjourn okay so deb second all in favor yes all right i hope you all have a good Thanksgiving with your loved ones so don't forget to um state the time that you adjourned for the record 932 there we go everybody good night everybody thank you good night happy Thanksgiving


Putin wants to negotiate with the U.S. to end the war in Ukraine. Bloomberg published material claiming that Russia's President Vladimir Putin is testing the waters for the United States' willingness to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. According to Bloomberg, two people close to the Kremlin stated that, via indirect channels, to signal that Putin is open to discussion, including potentially on future security arrangements for Ukraine. According to the same source, in December 2023, senior U.S. officials were given signals about the Russian leader's willingness to negotiate through an intermediary they declined to identify. Putin, they said, may be willing to consider dropping an insistence on neutral status for Ukraine and even ultimately abandon opposition to eventual NATO membership. Bloomberg writes. The agency interviewed U.S. officials including Adrienne Watson, a representative of the White House National Security Council who claimed they were unaware of the existence of signals from Putin. They emphasized that they see no signs of the President of the Russian Federation being serious about any negotiations. But Bloomberg suggests such information could help sow division among Ukraine's allies isolating Kiev and undermining President Volodymyr Zelensky's efforts to win support for his peace formula, which calls for full Russian withdrawal. In this context, the publication mentions the difficulties with the adoption of additional assistance for Ukraine in the U.S. Congress and in the European Union.
