Hi, I'm Jeremy Badner, an instructional technology coach at Gully Community Schools. I'm also a Google for Education certified trainer and innovator and hoping to be accepted into the Google certified coach program. I primarily worked with young five to fifth grade students and staff, but also support secondary teachers when needed. This year we were remote for the first five weeks, then we went to hybrid for three weeks, and then we're just now back to face-to-face teaching. So, during that time I met with teachers remotely and in person when available. This video is going to kind of show you how I use the five-step coaching method to help a particular kindergarten teacher deliver content to her kids. Using the first step of the five-step coaching model, identifying and understanding the challenge, we chatted remotely about what she knew would be her difficulties for the year. This is when an awesome tool like Jamboard really works perfectly. I shared Jamboard with her and had her add sticky notes for all of the challenges and struggles and areas that she knew that she would need help with. Some of these were remote hybrid teaching, student engagement, just trying to keep those five-year-olds entertained, how students would find activities, and basically just organizing everything for a school year. I then had her look at all of the sticky notes she made and just prioritize. She picked the top 10, the most important issues that she really, really wanted a solution for. We kind of chatted about those and I had to really focus on what is one of those sticky notes of those top 10. What's the one that would cover the most and give her most bang for her butt, the investment of her time? And she chose creating just one landing spot to organize everything. So after deciding on the one area to focus on, we got to the second step of the five-step coaching model, investigate possible strategies. So we thought about what could we do to organize all of her resources to best meet the needs of her five-year-olds, her students, and parents. So we talked about a few ways to do this. I mean, she already uses CSAW, that was one platform, but she was looking for something a little bit more googly because we are a Google district. She thought about creating a website, but the problem with that is it's just more updating and you've got to publish things and for her that just seemed a little too complex. She also was a little bit worried about anybody in the world be able to get in. She uses Remind for her parents, but that's a great tool for parents but not students. We also have access to Canvas, but that was just too cumbersome for her to use. And same kind of thing with Schoology, she didn't really like Schoology. So I suggested, of course, Google Classroom where everything would work. So we kind of settled on that would be the tool that best met her needs and her students' needs. Now that we chose one tool to use, we move on to the third step in the five-step model, select personalized strategies and tools. So now that we're using Google Classrooms, we found out it would work really well because she already uses CSAW. She can put the links directly in. She can make copies of her interactive activities or any tools that she wants. She can list websites. The Google Meet link is right there in the header. So really it works with everything, CSAW, GoGuardian, every tool that she's already using. So then we just had to look at ways that maybe we can improve her Google Classroom for the ease of use for her kids. When we got to the fourth step, implement a strategy and make improvements, this is when we really got to have some fun. Our kids were back in school at this point, so I got to come in and kind of help with some of this. So this is where our teacher, she put in all the emoticons and the topics and the third-party extensions for audio with talk-in-comment extensions or moat, being able to let those kindergarteners hear directions instead of have to read them. We also created some interactive activities, some slide decks that her kids would get their own copy, and then they can manipulate those pieces around for assessments and tools. This is when I got to come in and work with her kids and actually help them use some of these. So I joined her in the class, demoed some of this, we worked together, showed the kids how to do the click-and-drag activities, I showed her how to use screencast if I to record herself. This is the bulk of what we worked on. The fifth and final step is reflect on experience and outcomes, and what we've been doing to improve things is keeping her classroom fresh, new icons, making sure it's really interactive for kids. We've shared out all of her slide decks that she's made for interactive activities with other kindergarten teachers, and now we're starting to run and have her help run kindergarten-level, grade-level meetings to kind of share how classroom works, how slides for interactivity works, so sharing what she's already done.


What's going on guys? My name is Zach, and I'm here to review the happy time murders Now let me just tell you something. I absolutely love this movie. I think it's one of the best puppet movies ever made Rated our hard R rated our Muppet movie stuff. Love it. Love it. Love it. But this is called the happy time murder Okay, okay, okay, listen to me right now. Stop it. This is it Sorry about that guys. Let's get to the review. What's going on guys? Welcome to a brand new movie review today I'm discussing happy time murders as if you can't tell by my intro my little puppet friend won't be joining me because he liked the film and he had some good pros to it that I will discuss but overall I found the film to be very Disappointing in its tone and just a lot of other things to that but we will get into that but of course happy time murders is directed by Brian Henson the Son of Jim Henson one of the famous creators of all these puppetry and especially the Muppets Of course, what is happy time murders and for some reason you've escaped from seeing the trailer and haven't heard of this film It's about a world where humans and puppets live and coincide and it's about one detective named Phil Phillips Who also has a partner named detective Edwards played by Melissa McCarthy and both of them embark on a journey After a bunch of puppets start dying They have to figure out who's killing these puppets off and what's going on from that concept I remember when they announced this film like five years ago. I was so Frickin excited for this film because I am a big puppetry fan. I'm a big fan of them up It's I love puppetry. I think it's super cool I have to say if you like seeing bloopers and like kind of behind the scenes for Puppetry stay after the credits for the film because that's one of the best parts about the film is seeing how they Actually did all the puppetry seeing all the different type of bloopers they put into it I thought that was really cool to see. Yeah, I was really excited to see this film Then I got a little hesitant when I saw Melissa McCarthy got on board now. I'm not the biggest fan of hers I think she's fantastic and spy. I think she's great and bridesman But she's always doing the same shtick and she does the same shtick in here Which again kind of falters the film in a bit I feel like there was other cast and other female performances that could have been put into this thing I think Rachel McAdams would have been fantastic in this role I think Tiffany Haddish put her in here would have been great as well I think there's a ton of other actresses You could have easily inserted into this role and it would have made for a better comfortable thing And it wouldn't have just felt like another Melissa McCarthy comedy because that's what the film started out to be and it came out To be in the end big thing that did surprise me out throughout this whole entire film is that Phil Phillips the one of the puppets the blue Puppet you see in the trailer is actually the main character of the film I didn't expect that it from the trailers it posed that most of McCarthy is going to be the main character But overall it is a puppet-centric film about Phil Phillips in his life Melissa McCarthy's the sporting actress and that is something you need because I didn't think they're gonna take that route But they did and I think that route helped us film Marveously as the film opens up you start to learn about Phil Phillips and his life and what he does And you start to learn more about the puppets and whatnot and I just I wanted more of that I wanted more of the world building because I think it's a cool little idea to have the puppets living coincide within humans And it's something like a who frame Roger Rabbit I'm not saying this is like who frame Roger but it has that same concept where it's cartoons living with humans And I wanted more of that I think that's why I was so excited for this film years ago because I was I love the concept I think the concepts brilliant I think you would get a director like Brian Henson on someone who knows how puppetry works And I think you have something in the goldmine right there like and say here. I did laugh at parts I did laugh I didn't hate everything But I think this is where I kind of dive into my cons a lot of my cons reside into this film feeling like it just overextended SNL skit which I hate saying that and maybe that's a good or bad thing My audience was laughing and I laughed at to I giggle I chuckled But he didn't laugh as hard as I wanted to and my biggest thing with a comedy is if I'm not entertaining I'm not laughing that I'm gonna start judging it for every other thing That's where I kind of get into the story and the script I felt like this film would have been way better if it was darker I feel like it would have made for a darker comedy in a sense kind of like the nice guys vibe I think the nice guys vibe would have worked for this film and it would have made it 10 times better again I think the script is another big issue for the film And I think that's where all the issues really reside in because a lot of the humor just goes for that Raunchy R rated goofy humor and I get it That's what the trailers posted out to be and I understood that but seeing in its context It just felt like it was that class clown and class going. Oh my god. Look at him. He's funny. Look at him Look at me. I'm being funny. Look at me and that's what the whole film felt like That's where I was kind of just disappointed overall because I felt like you didn't need that in the movie at all And I didn't want that in the film I didn't want to feel like it was just pointing at things. Look at this I'm trying really hard to make you laugh and yeah, sometimes that trying really hard did make me laugh But overall it just overextended its welcome again It just felt like an overextended SNL skit points me back into my same direction where I do think this film would have worked In a darker comedy route like a dramedy again I think if it had the same vibe as the nice guys, it would have worked on a better level I think more clever humor with that raunchy humor mixed in there would have worked and were to worked Seamlessly no pun intended and this film isn't one of the worst films I've seen this year And it definitely is not one of the best it overall is just a very big disappointment to me You know, that's where it comes in this is route. I laughed I chuckled my audience was dying laughing And maybe when you see this film, you're gonna die laughing too But for me, I felt as if it could have just been better And I think with everyone on board this cast the production the idea the concept is something that deserved better All that said, I'm gonna give happy time murders a C minus Here's your guys thoughts on happy time murders. Do you love it?  Let's talk about it down below in the comments. And are you gonna behave yourself now? No, you don't want to talk now. No, it's alright. He's a pretty cool fellow though Of course guys if you guys are new here hit up sandwich on films down below because right down there You guys can get into advanced movie screens like this film check out some movie news and also some movie reviews But guys of course until next time Stay classy and have a great rest of your day You


What's going on guys, 2022 is finally upon us. Now I think it's safe to say that most of us have had a pretty wild and crazy two years. And in that wild and crazy two years we've learned some lessons. But one of those lessons needs to be that new year's resolutions are a myth that needs to go away. So we took a lot of our time reading different articles, reading books, and most importantly making a bunch of mistakes ourselves so that we could tell you 22 pieces of advice you need to know for your life going in to 2022. So if you need some advice in your life, please hit that like button and let's get into it. Point number one, every day is a pie made of 24 slices. Now who or what you give those slices to is completely up to you, but make sure it's intentional. Every single brand, social media star, shopping site, Netflix is all demanding the biggest slice that they possibly can get of your time. And that's just on the digital side. This is Web 2.0 guys, we haven't even entered Web 3.0 yet. Now on the other side in real life, there's family, friends, cousins. Now that's also taking up time on your pie chart. Now between those two things and even me time, I see way too many people have no idea how they want their pie slice to be distributed. Hey man, did you get the 30th meme I sent you about the celebrity news that I know you don't care about but I might care about so I wanted to talk to you about it. Hey man, I respect you as a person and I want you to live a good life but you're eating too many of my pie slices. I guess I'll send it to Andrew. Point number two, when investing, it's best to understand the macro environment, aka the overall market trends. So we've talked about how important it is to start investing your money on our channel before. However, you gotta know the overall market trends because that's going to affect how effective your strategies are. For example, remember about a year ago, the entire market was going up and everybody was making money and everybody felt like a genius. It almost felt like you couldn't go wrong and then the market started chopping sideways and a lot of people at the beginner skill level such as myself stopped day trading. So to find out what the macro trends are, you're going to have to look on financial sites, read a lot of articles and even talk to your finance friends who might have some insight. And point number three, make sure you get the proper tools you need to protect yourself and particularly in this case, your information and your finance. And definitely have your go-to VPN that you use all the time. Which brings us to today's sponsor, Surfshark. If you're looking for a VPN that will protect your information and give you a 30-day money back guarantee and also give you four months free when you sign up using our code Fungros, then to be honest, I think Surfshark is like a no-brainer. Why do you need a VPN anyways? Well, one, it keeps your data safe when you're on unsecured networks. City Wi-Fi, random cafes, use it to protect against hackers, which do exist. Two, you can access blocked content in other countries. So if I set my VPN for the UK, I can watch Netflix UK shows. Global content is limitless. Three, I've been using Surfshark lately because you need a VPN to access certain cryptocurrency exchanges that are based outside of the country. So I turn on my Surfshark to access Binance International. Listen, the more time you spend on the internet, the more protection you need. So get Surfshark VPN at the link down below. Use the code Fungros for 83% off and four extra months for free. Now back to the video for more advice. Point number four, you will get paid on what the marketplace wants and not what you know or like. Elon Musk said that you get paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of the problems that you solve. Basically guys, we all have things that we're passionate about, more than our friends, more than our families, things that we just want to get into a 10 out of 10 level of depth about. And that's great. However, you cannot always demand to be heavily monetarily compensated for that knowledge unless it's something that the marketplace wants. Over the years, I've met people who wanted to make a living off doing revolutionary spoken word from the perspective of a bird. Now that is great. If that brings that person happiness, peace, fulfillment, that is amazing. However, that artist should also not feel entitled to getting rich off that type of content. For example, guys, I've been trying to get a book published and my book agent was telling me that there is a way for people to relate to people completely unlike them. For example, the plight of the Native Americans if they write it in a certain way. But usually those type of crossover titles from an extremely niche topic to a very broad audience, it was done with extreme skill and care by the author. I always come back to Judo and Jujitsu and just flipping something that seems one way to the other. Your niece thing still potentially could work. But if you don't have that super elite flipping skill, it might not. Point number five, if you're an ambitious person, find a way to outsource those menial tasks that you don't like to do to someone else who's like a professional at it. Of course outsourcing costs you money, but with that extra time that you save, you're going to be able to put that towards your goals and aspirations and your career. Uh, hey Andrew, do you want to go watch the car for two hours and then maybe we can go cook something that'll take two hours and then maybe one of the scooters kind of has a flat so we can learn on YouTube for like four or five hours how to fix it and then spend another two getting all done. Dude, with the help of professionals, we can get that done in half an hour. Look guys, I know some people cook for the hobby of it, but literally if you're doing it for the money reason, you have to understand there is a lot of time cost and cleaning costs in the preparation of the potatoes, of the cleaning of the potato skins. I'm trying to put some money in Auntie's pocket. Point number six, social media is not real life. Now I know that the digital world and social media are becoming more and more important every day, but they're still more and more important than real life or this car behind me. Now I think social media is great for marketing or letting people know about a cause or information, but literally guys you probably should try to remove the emotion from the internet because a lot of times people are just trying to lash out at somebody they view as more powerful than them. They're trying to punch up. Listen guys, I'm not going to let somebody without an avatar, without a LinkedIn page, without a job that they probably ever worked in society, bring me down and you shouldn't either. What?   Yeah, I hope it affected his life because I'm pretty unhappy with my own. What the power gives me? Number seven, consider getting therapy. I'm serious, I just wanted to make this point to let everybody know out there that it is not weird and it is not taboo to seek professional help for something. Listen, you seek professional help for your physical therapy, you know, oh my knee hurts or your leg hurts or your neck hurts, you're going to seek professional help for that, you're not just going to talk to your friends. So when it comes to your mental, professionals can help too. You know your friends, George and Michelle, listen, they're great to talk to and you should talk to them too. However, I wouldn't expect them to help solve all your problems. They're just not pro. Hey, no diss on the older generation, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot more things going on in our heads today than there was like in 1890. Point number eight, that thing you wanted to do? Just go and do it, get it started, ask somebody, go on Reddit, ping somebody, how do I get this started and take the first step? Listen guys, forget about what your friends are going to think. I see so many people be victim to the 30 people around them just because it wouldn't fit with the flow or the culture or whatever the normative behaviors of that friend group. If you want to go do it, just do it. Sometimes you need to begin the process of something, realize 20% of the journey through that it's not for you, but that's okay because that's the concept of trial and error, but you cannot begin to even begin trial and error unless you start in the first place. I'm pretty glad we caught our jobs and pursued that rap career, man. Yeah, I was good to know that we are not the Asian race Shremmer. No, but at least now when I go back to my job, which I am going back to, I'm going to feel a lot better and maybe I'll be better at it and get promoted. Yeah, it'll be because we pursued a failed rap career. Point number nine, sometimes the best helmet out there is the one you'll actually use on a day-to-day basis. Now, this really applies to products of utility that a lot of people do not enjoy using. What's the best seat belt? The one you're going to put on? What's the best condom? The one you actually use? What's the best helmet? The one you actually put on when you ride out? In a day and age where there are a thousand options for everything and there are so many reviews and rankings and hierarchies for different products, sometimes for certain things, it's just going to be the one that you actually use because it's an item where if you don't have it, the alternative is terrible. Yeah, I mean, I would wear a helmet when I ride my motorcycle, but I just haven't found one that looks cool, so right now I'm just going naked. What? Well, then just get a cool one so you wear the helmet. Yeah, I'm not wearing any condoms until I get the premium ones, the ones that feel like nothing's there. I mean, you probably should be okay with the ones from the free clinic, but get the premium ones then. Number nine, be like water. Now, I know Bruce Lee said this before and he's kind of famous for quoting it. Be formless, shapeless, like water. One way I interpret this is to stay adaptive and flexible in your mind and body, meaning that there's going to be circumstances and environments that you can't change, but you can always change your mindset. And water, H2O, has set molecular properties that are not going to change. When it gets hot, it turns into gas. When it gets cold, it turns into ice. And I think that people got to have their set properties to go about life as well. At some point, you got to decide on where you stand on things. You got to have your own set properties. You got to know your beliefs and your convictions because the environment around you is going to change. That always sounded like to me some kung fu confucius Bruce Lee mumbo jumbo. Dude, Billy Bob, trust me. It's a really good analogy. It just needs some interpretation. Number 11, actually follow some positive Instagram and TikTok accounts. Listen, I know all the memes are funny. The celebrities are interesting. The outfits are cool. The models are hot and all the inequalities and sad news out there, it's valid. The internet is known to be very humorous but very cynical. Out of all those accounts, make sure you just follow some positive ones, some ones that post really uplifting quotes or introspective stuff.  Even if you got to listen to the rock rap, some really overly inspirational go getter macho raps. I mean, if that's what inspires you, then go do that. Dude, I only follow hot models on NeverMeet, tours of $500 million mega yachts and all the sad and terrible news that goes on around the world. Bro, that's like starting your day off eating a Krispy Kreme fried chicken sandwich and a full sugar monster energy drink. I get why you do it.  We're 13. You'll never feel bad about throwing away something that's bad for you. What I mean by this is that humans are still creatures of convenience. Whatever's in front of us, we're going to eat. So that's why you got to keep good stuff around so you'll eat good stuff and keep bad stuff around. You'll eat bad stuff. But this is what I do when I get an urge for sweets. You know those high chews and those Arizona gummies, snacks that you get at the bodega. Those are really good. I love those. But when I buy them, I just eat like half the bag or I take a few bites and then I throw it away. And to me, that's not really food waste because that's already junk food. So I guess it's just supposed to be junk anyways. Trust me, the law of diminishing returns applies to a lot of things in life. In fact, maybe everything. Each bite brings less and less enjoyment than the previous one. This 100th bite tastes like failure. Number 14, listen to audio books. Now listen, guys. I know that everybody likes the idea of reading books. Everybody's seen those memes and those stats that your average millionaire reads over 20 plus books a year. But let's be honest. A lot of people purchase books, but don't finish them. Statistically speaking, you are much more likely to finish a book if you use the audio book format. Plus, you can listen at 1.5x. Personally, for me, I'm used to listening to content at like 2x. So I was able to finish the loneliest Americans by J.Casme and King in about four hours. If I read that, it would have took me almost eight. You know, I don't really know if I want to do audio books. It doesn't make me feel less intelligent. So if you have to read the paperback on your nightstand, what's the likelihood you're actually going to finish it? Number 15, drink more water. Hot water, warm water, cold water, room temperature water. Just drink more H2O. Listen, guys. I don't think that Starbucks refreshers or Diet Coke counts. You got to drink water, whether it's sparkling still. Dude, I'm so hungover. I heard that if I have a beer in the morning, I'll just get re-drunk and the hangover will go away.  Number 15, first impressions still matter even in a digital world. As we mentioned, the world is getting more digital, right? It's moving towards Web 3.0. The metaverse, more people are living their life online. But even though the technology is there, human connection is still king for now. So first impressions and how you present yourself to people still really matters. You know, all that general social etiquette, looking people in the eye, saying thank you, being respectful, listening more than you're talking, especially when you're meeting new people. All that old Dale Carnegie stuff about the seven habits of successful people. I know it seems old, but we didn't involve that quickly. It's only been like 100 years.  What do you think? Wait, why would you want to do that? Well, I actually just use my anonymous platform to protect my trauma onto other people that I haven't really taken the hard work to work on, you know, and I'm just kind of releasing online. Yeah, man, that's pretty human of you, but that's also just the most like no sauce, just cheese and meat hamburger way of thinking. Number 16, look up tailored advice on YouTube, Reddit, and Quora, but don't get caught in the fray. And I know that TikTok has all the engagement right now and it's a great place for sparking thoughts, but in terms of raw information, it's still on YouTube, Reddit, and Quora. However, guys, there is a lot of fray out there and a lot of things you can get distracted by. Just look for your answer, get in and get out. YouTube is more long form and you're going to find everything from like professors, leaders of industry, to just like amateur armchair experts doing long form content that's very expository on YouTube. For me, for example, I'm really into e-mobility. I'm into electric scooters. I can message somebody in France on Reddit, ask them what the review of this unique rare scooter is, and they're going to get back to me. For example, on YouTube, there are so many different channels doing really organized, deep dives into electric scooters. That's something you can't find on TikTok. Yeah, I found a bunch of incredibly interesting but controversial topics on TikTok, but there's no depth or end of the discussion. People are just yelling at each other. Yeah, I mean, TikTok's great because it's a bunch of really opinionated regular people, but at some point, you're going to need to hear something on this topic from somebody who doesn't also do the outfit challenges and dances. Number 17, do not be afraid of skipping the small talk. Life is too short to not have DMCs with people. Deep, meaningful conversations. I never regretted a DMC even with somebody I disagreed with or even someone that I didn't really fully like or even someone that I knew I was not going to see again. Yeah, that was a really deep conversation just now. You know, I mean, I can tell that my heart and my brain are much more better and open for having that. And I probably learned them a lot more than just having a surface level conversation about sports or the weather. Think about it this way. In conversations moving forward, you could be the killer of the filler. Number 18, be like bamboo, especially when you're setting up the barriers for your interpersonal relationships. Sometimes people in life like to oversimplify things and they're thinking with my friends and my family, should I be hard? Should I be soft? You should probably be neither. You should be firm, strong, but slightly flexible, just like bamboo. For example, when it comes to a friend that might be trying to take up too much of your time, sometimes if you're like tofu or cheese, that's too soft, right? They're going to run right through your barriers. And if you're like steel, it's too cold and it's too hard. And when they hit it, they might get hurt or they might be mad at you. If you're bamboo, you're going to be firm and solid but still have enough flex that they're not hurt. Don't worry, Chinese bamboo is very strong. Ugh. Number 19, make sure you break a sweat from exercise at least three times a week. I know that this might sound basic but if the pandemic has taught us anything, it's two things. One, the more healthy and more fit you are, the better your body is in a position to fight sickness. And two, home workouts really work. Think about your body as a car, but you only get one car. Wouldn't you want to keep that car in good shape? Find a routine that works for you. Make it convenient, make it fun. There are so many different ways to work out nowadays. It just takes a quick Google search and you'll find it. And you don't have to do anything crazy, like CrossFit or even running half-marathons or even doing high-intensity workouts. Literally, it could be something like push-ups or jogging or playing ping pong. Hey, you think about playing ping pong for an hour. It's a pretty good workout. Those pro players look pretty fit. Hell yeah. And especially if that's the only way you like to exercise, then do that. Number 20, appreciate where you're at. I saw this quote on Instagram that said, I stopped searching for happiness. I just tried to appreciate the moment that I'm in and happiness came and found me. I think it's really easy for people who are ambitious or have big goals to constantly be looking at the next thing and constantly looking above them. They break into a new plateau or a new tier. I understand that because that is a motivational tool, the carrot stick. But at some point, you also have to just look at where you're at, how far you've come and appreciate that. Of course, in a cold world, people just kind of look at a global metric ranking system, right? But really to yourself, when you look in the mirror, you have to understand where you came from and how far you've come and really look at that range as being the most important. Number 21, don't be afraid to help somebody if you have the right information, even if they didn't ask. I get it. It might feel intrusive sometimes to try to recommend something to somebody even if they didn't ask for your help. But guess what? If you got the right information, it's really not that bad. I started saying things like, hey, have you ever thought about or, hey man, I know you didn't ask me, but what about this? So for example, I was playing basketball the other day with this kind of big, bulky guy who kept talking about how he was getting injured and his foot was hurting because he wasn't getting enough support from his sneakers and there were some low top Kobe's. Now, I had never met him before, but all I did was say, hey man, have you ever thought about getting Lebron's? They're higher cut, they're more supportive and overall built for bulkier guys. If you come at it respectfully, why would it be ever offensive to suggest something to someone else? This is how we get better as a community and as an overall world, especially coming from what is considered an introverted Asian immigrant community. I mean, people don't communicate enough. There's a lot of smart and educated people out there, but they're afraid to help somebody because it feels rude, but it's not rude. Why would it be ever rude? Just don't come at it in a rude way. Number 22, you do not have to make sure that every single piece of content you put out to the world is entertaining. Nowadays with social media and an attention economy, everybody feels so much pressure to share their gifts in every single post, whether that's writing witty captions, being beautiful, being a bold and doing pranks or messing with society, or people feel the pressure to showcase all those things in every single post to make sure that they get the likes and it's tracking on the algorithm. But listen guys, sometimes you just gotta say something to get it off your chest or you have a message to say to the world or sometimes you don't want to put on your makeup, just go and do that. I truly believe that we are on this earth to be free. Now, freedom means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but to me, sometimes that means you're free to put expectations on yourself and obligations and sometimes you are free not to. All right you guys, thank you so much for watching that video of 22 things you want to know going into 2022. Make sure you like, subscribe, turn on your notifications. I'm sure some of these points you knew, some of these points you didn't know or maybe hadn't thought of before, and some of these points you just need to share with somebody in your life that has no idea. Maybe you do them, but you're just too scared to tell somebody that they don't do them. So it's all good, we'll do that, send them this video, make sure you share and until next time you guys, we out, peace.


Oregon State Governor Doug Moore Abiodon says the state has placed order for the purchase of 100 trailer loads of rice to be distributed to the vulnerable members of the public. A part of it would be on sale at controlled price. The other steps are being taken to address the current situation in the state. A media announcement will engage in stakeholders on the current social economic challenges and steps being taken to address the hardship. While asking them to remain calm, show understanding and cooperation, the governor however asked the residents not to do anything that could negate the existing peace and order currently being enjoyed in the state. The government to see us through this period until when the steps that are present are all present and taken that will be due to manifest. So I thought to myself that it is important for me to sit with you like this, to communicate with you, to inform you, to please you as well, because if I don't do that, I won't be able to do anything because she's not going to be happy.

Well, good afternoon. I welcome to Hawaii the state of clean energy. I'm Ray Starling, your host, and Jay couldn't be with us today because of conflict, but he will be with us in spirit. We do have a very interesting show, and not just because Jay's not here, but it's all about security. We miss you, Jay. It's all about security with a focus on cybersecurity and some of the vulnerabilities that can happen to our clean energy grid as it grows and expands in the digital age. My guest today is an expert, Andrew Lanning. He's vice president at Integrated Securities Technologies, a Hawaii-based business that Andrew co-founded back in 1998 with his wife, who is still associated with it. So Andrew, you've got quite a resume. I'm just going to read just a few nice things about you so people kind of get an idea. You're all about security and cybersecurity. You started back in 1982.  But you also served in the Navy back during the Persian Gulf War. That's how I got to Hawaii. You were missile technician, and that's kind of where you got your start. I'm not going to go through all of this, but basically you're on multiple committees and networks where you participate in moving information back and forth about cybersecurity. And you've got a degree, started out in psychology at UH, and you've got a master's in communication. You've got communications from Hawaii Pacific University. And welcome to the show, we're very happy to have you here today. So before we get into the topic of technology related to cyber and things that can go bang in the night, can you tell us a little bit about your company? What does it do?  So we're a contracting firm. You can think of us as an electrical contractor, but we specialize in low-voltage systems. So we're installing pipe and cabling and getting all the infrastructure put in. And then we're installing all that equipment on the walls, be it cameras or access control card readers, intercoms, intrusion detection systems. Then all that stuff today has a server and software and client side applications that have to be configured. And then you do the training for the end user and teach them how to manage it and get the reports out of it and deal with the system. So we're kind of nuts and bolts. To say we're electrical contractors only leaves it a little thin because we've got a lot of IT types and database types and application guys in our company as well. So we're a pretty IT savvy little group. Electronic security has become that piece of the industry today. Well we thought this would be a good combination with you and me. You know a lot about cybersecurity and I know just enough about the energy world to know that things are going nuts in the energy world now and cybersecurity is becoming much more important than it ever has before to the grid that we're all connected to. So before we get into those kinds of questions though, can you give us some general ideas about the just regular joes out there that have connections to the grid or to the internet rather that they might keep in mind whether it's a business or an individual to try to minimize the vulnerabilities that are inherent in just connecting to a bunch of other people out there. Yeah. So we talk about that threat surface, you know that vulnerability surface right and all the devices that you have that connect to the internet are talking to something. They all have a MAC address, they all have an IP address, they all have a suite of protocols that they talk with right. So all these devices when you connect it, there's actually 65,000 plus ports on that IP address right and so you might use one of them port 25 for SMTP, simple mail transfer protocol to do email with for example. You might be doing a file transfer over FTP which is another port or Telnet. So when you connect with a browser to a device to maybe view its configuration settings, everyone's probably set up a router at home or installed some sort of a device where they had to first you know bring it online and they use a browser on port 80 and that browser is an HTTP port connection right so that's connected to port 80. So there's a lot of these system ports, the first 1056 of them I think are system ports and there's user ports and ports for many, many things. So you know people I don't think are aware that there's so much open ports available for vulnerabilities to be present on. So that's a port in your computer or your server? It's a port on the actual IP address itself so every IP address just you know when you have a device that acquires an IP address this is the protocols that these things talk with, protocols run over those ports. Okay. Yeah. Alright so what should an individual do to try to protect himself, what's the simplest way you can try to prevent something bad from happening to your own system within your residence I'd say? Yeah so the residential, the consumer, you know the average consumer I think is hamstrung with understanding a lot of this technology so you know if you really don't know what you're doing at all you need to get some help first of all. But if you've got a little bit of savvy and you want to understand you can get tools that are free like ZenMap for example you can run ZenMap from behind your firewall and that'll scan your network for you and give you a report of all the devices that are attached you may not even know that your light bulbs are talking to your internet or whatever it may be if you're not aware of all the stuff that's been installed you know if you have maybe wireless thermostats and your HVAC guy installed them and you don't really know that they're there. Typically these devices, some of these tools will also report the BERT firmware version so you can go out and check the manufacturer's website to make sure you have the latest firmware version, maybe you need to upgrade that firmware and please you know a lot of consumers don't even get a router right and they think that the like their Time Warner cable modem is a router protecting them and often times none of that stuff is enabled or it's all just defaulted so you really need to get your own firewall put in and understand you know how to manage that firewall so that everything's closed except the things that you want to be working. Now is that something that most people would likely be able to do or not be able to do? I think if you follow the manual the trick is to not accept that you know make sure you follow the guy don't just get it working and stop make sure everything that you don't need working is turned off and that's a critical step that a lot of the consumer grade equipment just doesn't run you through it's designed more for easy plug-and-play you've heard of a of a tool called universal plug-and-play a lot of these devices have well just because you got it working doesn't mean it's secure it may have been opened like I said maybe by default FTP is open a lot of a lot of manufacturers have ports open that are like first so that they could remotely service a device without having to come to your location to do that and so by default there may be a hardwired default password on that port that they can access and that may be able to be known by simply you know searching on the internet for you know default password for links this router or for example so that kind of stuff has to definitely be locked down you know for sure at the consumer in the small business in the business medium-sized business you know we see this across the spectrum all the way up to the enterprise guys who have an IT department they're working on it as best they can as much resources as they've been given but right below the enterprise the problems are a rampant the vulnerabilities are out there so if you did have a small business and you wanted to protect yourself and you didn't feel like you knew enough about all of the things we've talked about that's for sure would you would you likely just hire a firm like yours or somebody out there to come in and sort of check it out and fix whatever is risky yeah so we're we're an electronic security firm so we're not I really try not to I really try to steer clear of the IT which is all the workstations and servers and switches and routers we know about that but I definitely could give people references there are a ton of great small businesses in Hawaii that sort of specialize in that area and they can get you some help and business owners for sure should be doing these types of assessments you know if your businesses the the sort of trend in businesses today is that the regulated industries that being critical infrastructure which I know we're going to talk about health care fight the financial sector all of these guys and now their supply chains that are bringing stuff to them maybe you're just there their HVAC guy or maybe you're their POS vendor that's your point of sale systems or maybe your electronic security vendor like I am we're starting to get the same sort of regulations that they're held to push down on us by them you know in their contracting verbiage so it isn't regulatory it's just that they want their supply chain to be as secure as they are and that's a fair thing so if you know if you're in business probably you're going to see some of that coming at you if you service any of the regular any of the regulated industries for sure okay let's let's go from regular business and residential situations to the grid sure and and from my perspective the grid is growing it's used to be just the utility it owned the grid it did everything on the grid it was the one that that made the electricity sent it to the customers okay and they started allowing independent generators to come on and those were usually in the early days were big systems that were contracted to sell their power to the grid but the utility still had full control of it now we're getting into a situation where a lot of people have PV on their roughs and a lot of people are actually generating power at sometimes they push it out on to the grid and sometimes they there's no when the sun's not shining they they take it from the grid and that begins to make a lot more complexity to the grid it was already pretty complex but now you've got multiple parties on the grid that are needing to talk to one another in some form or fashion or get signals or this this may not this may not be what's happening right this moment but it will be happening as people give sometimes and take other times that's going to be part of the grid that has to be secured cybersecurity because it like for load balancing yes load balancing and some of it's going to be automated some of it's going to be worked by a third party but there'll be many more entities plugged in and pushing stuff on to the system or taking it off at will and that becomes a big problem because and I don't even know how big the problem is I'm asking you to sort of give us your idea about what needs to be done on the grid scale to help protect the grid from nefarious people doing things on the grid that they shouldn't be well I mean we saw the attack out West right there was a physical attack obviously right guys tried to take down the substation right that's firing at it right so there's the if we remove if we say okay well we know it's you know we can't move we can't move it it's not mobile so you know it's can come under physical attack and we'll just leave that as is so outside of physically attacking those those facilities right because I'm just guessing we're going to take down the grid we're talking about sort of like destabilizing it by taking a substation offline you know in a big way right but the the smaller guys for example if I've got a device a load a load management device that's talking ostensibly to another load management device across the island it must it's either using internet or some kind of wireless protocol right so those types of devices are the same similar to devices that we have in the electronic security system industry where they all have a that web interface I was talking about that HTTP port or that HTTPS port and I do sit on underwriter labs is currently working on a new specification for the industrial control systems as well they're they're embedded you know little Linux web engine has the same problems as many of the other ones do especially some of the older ones so they don't even run encryption on that connection so it's very easy to brute-force attack it and sort of take it over and the future I think we'll we'll see those devices currently I think most of the utilities are working to sort of firewall that stuff and they need to know about it right they've got inventories of it but you know I don't think we can just let it open up and talk right because it's got to be monitored today now the newer ones where we can get some encryption probably a little bit less let's hold it thought for right now okay take a break and come back and yes and move along all right thank you aloha Howard wig I am the proud host of cold green think tech away I appear every other Monday at three in the afternoon do not tune in in the morning my topic is energy efficiency it sounds dry as heck but it's not we're paying five billion dollars a year for imported oil my job is to shave that shave that shave that down in homes and buildings while delivering better comfort better light better air conditioning better everything so if you're interested in your future you'd better tune in to me three o'clock every other Monday cold green aloha and thank you very much okay we're back and we've got a great show for you today with Andrew Lanning who's with integrated security technologies and he's we've been talking about we've sort of been moving up the scale from individual users of the internet and the cybersecurity that's necessary there but we've gotten gone to the the big grid that the power system uses to move power around and it's getting bigger and it's getting a lot more players involved and we were starting to talk about sort of how do we think through trying to protect that grid against cyber attacks because that those can take down the entire grid and that that's certainly a possibility anytime but as we grow and more people are are connecting to the grid and pushing power to the grid or taking it back depending on whether the sunshine in their PV is working that is going to be the big problem for us going forward a problem for the utility and ultimately problem for all the customers so we were talking about sort of how we go about that or how you would expect the the utility systems to to plan for that and help to to defend against it so we've got what we've got is people who are new to this whole thing they're becoming engaged and they're connecting and what vulnerabilities could they bring on to the system because they're having to talk and and through their smart meters talk to the utility and or talk to somebody to let let the grid know what's happening at their individual station where they're taking power or giving power so do you have any thoughts about that I know that's not nobody knows very much about it now I mean it's a growing industry but do you have any thoughts about sort of how where you would start if you were trying to fix the but the potential problem sure so the what I what I what I saw with the underwriter labs has taken this on as well underwriter laboratories you know they they have a stamp for like your fire systems and things so they've definitely taken an interest in this and the the industrial control systems is a special subsection of the series 2900 that they're working on so you know the idea that the firmware in those devices isn't been well tested and could be thwarted right with them you've probably heard of certain thing buffer overflows and different types of attacks that can be run just against the firmware so the first thing was to get those manufacturers to start running their firmware through the same type of processes that guys like Cisco and Microsoft and the rest of the IT world have done for a long long time so that that standard is being written I'd say it's a few years from being published and then probably we're another year or two beyond that before we get equipment that's been put through that process and can be have a have a layer of cyber assurance that you know when the when the installer gets it or when the company gets it they can know that it's got all these assurances that an test that have been run against it right so we're lacking that today probably in the stuff that's out there and so the the level of vulnerabilities is probably is open to the mind you know to just the whim of an attacker you know his desire to want to thwart something you know if you can find out what type of a piece of equipment was used and you know unfortunately there's a habit of contractors architects all this these design specs all just float around for bidding purposes right so it really wouldn't be hard to find out what type of a piece of equipment down to this specific part number is installed here for perhaps monitoring an endpoint or a load bouncing type piece of gear so then you just can go procure one and figure out how to attack it right and so you know just at home before you you know ever go ever go to actually run a real attack against it so there's there's that kind of stuff and there's there are guys you know that are employed by utilities and some of those manufacturing many cases that are working on this stuff too so they get paid whitehead hackers get paid to find those vulnerabilities as well and they get paid by the manufacturer to find them before the bad guys do the whiteheads or the ones the whiteheads are the good guys sure used to be the bad guys maybe the bigger concern that we have with with utilities and it's so if if I find something the last thing I'm going to really do is just go break a utility why would I do that what I'm going to do is try to get my malware spread out into as many utilities as I can now I've got a valuable tool if I could take down the east coast the west coast or Hawaii or whatever it may be from in the hackers speak now I've got something I can sell doesn't mean you get to take down my power but what's the point of that but so money for but someone may want that capability so that's what I'm going to do is sell that capability to them and you know you can just auction it off you know you typically need to do a little proof of concept for him but that's all the buying and selling of this capability is sort of what what we what we have today and in the block on the black market you know like where we I mean not that I would ever go there but where would you go what dark leagues or there's there's a ton of sites here I can yeah you can buy tons of attacks tons of attack tools you can buy whole kits that have all the known attacks against anything you want you can get Cali Linux for free a lot of this stuff so you can head for free a lot of you can lease there's like leasing models for for a DDoS attack for example and do you want to do it for 30 seconds or do you want to do it by a DDoS a denial of service attack okay yeah so like if I say I just want to make sure you couldn't get any energy in your neighborhood maybe you know I could maybe take that stuff take an area down for a while right just just as an example it's more done against like websites and web services and things like that where they they slam it with so much data that no one else can get to it so it's a denial of the service so imagine if I take your bank you know your banking service offline or something like that but you know all of these things are are available to people that are just willing to work on it to make money there's a ton of money in this type of crime and that you know that's a problem now let's say you're a business owner or you know CEO somewhere that wanted to just keep up kind of with what's going on just kind of they don't want to dig into it deeply but they'd like to kind of watch what's going on is there website or is there a government agency or or perhaps a magazine that sits pretty good about those kinds of things yeah I mean I would I would tell anybody definitely to follow a guy like Brian Krebs who blogs he was a journalist that got hacked and he got he's gotten very deeply into the world of hacking and so he takes really some some sinister things and really explains it in layman terms CEOs I think have more concerns than than that though they're got to be concerned about their own enterprise so they should be concerned about the NIST the National Institute for Standards and Technology so NIST publishes a ton of great information on things that the business owner should be doing inside the business and the CEO hopefully has a CIO and a CISO and some people giving this guidance so he can ask the board for more money and you know all those sorts of things so but there's you know Brian's that Brian Krebs is a great start Cisco the Taylor's group publishes threat briefs and weekly updates on all kind of the stuff that's happened out there in the world that they see Cisco obviously sees traffic from on a global scale so they see all the threats and threat actors and they know where malicious things are emanating from right so they report on all that kind of activity on a weekly basis Taylor's TALOS the Taylor's groups really good okay well we sort of moved around but but we're still back at the at the utility grid which is is going to continue to be a challenge I think for the utility and also the ratepayers in many different ways but you know one of the things that we haven't talked about was sort of what kind of damage you could do by penetrating by finding out people's passwords and by getting tricking people to click on to a site that that takes the intruder right into their computer do you have any thoughts about that that you might give to our audience that yeah so it's the number one tool of hackers so everyone really thinks it's all these technical controls right but the technical controls are things we can actually fix so like we talked about firewalling and monitoring so we can really and all those ports you know that are open we can actually technically lock that stuff down but what I can't lock down is the guy who calls you up and says man I got you got to go look at this right away this is your you sent something I'm your IT guy and you need to go check on this link I just sent you and then you click it boom now if you just go to an email is there any way that they they that they can just buy not not clicking on anything in the email but just clicking the email to look at it is is there something that they could do to actually get you going down the road so to speak so you giving up definitely once your email run through some services that look at that like so Cisco has umbrella there's there's there's a lot of tools that are in place today and a lot of Google you know office you know Microsoft a lot of them are running a lot of these filters against that so you're not even seeing it it's getting skimmed off before it gets to you but there are so if you have like auto preview turned on for example right and you've got you get an image today you can embed code into a picture or a movie so if you look if you have auto preview running and that image is displayed then yeah they could run code so you got to be careful you're if you're running some decent antivirus you know software there you should you should be okay I'm a fan of the machine learning stuff that's out there today most of semantics now edit some machine learning you know it was all signature based previously so you know they had to know about the exploit to look for it right so zero these signs right so these zero-day things weren't getting caught but today with the machine learning that's been added to a lot of the tools we can look at we can look deeper at those things that are just re-bundled and re-bundled you know you can look at eight or ten iterations deep to see if something is true is truly a malicious or not okay in an email well you know we're coming back to the end of happens quick you know I really want to thank you for being with us today Andrew Lanning co-founder of integrated security technologies that is all the time we have today and thanks to all of you for joining us today please come back and see us we're on Wednesday afternoons at four o'clock so come see us then and we'll see you next Wednesday next


Hey everybody, it's Brett, and today I am super excited to go over this brand new 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X4 by E in Bikini Pro Coat. Stock number on this one is 24J191. I will link the description for this one as well as the original window sticker in the comments or in the description below on the YouTube channel, as well as a link to this vehicle on our website. This one of course has the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. It's paired up with the hybrid system. It's going to get you 375 combined horsepower and 470 foot pounds of torque. It's going to give you 49 miles per gallon equivalent and a 370 mile driving range. You're going to be able to charge this one in just about 12 hours on a 120 volt and about 2 hours on a 240 volt charger. I'm going to go all the way around in this video, show you all the options, just go over everything on the vehicle. Let me know what you think is your favorite part of this Wrangler. For me right now it's the color, it's the blue accents with the 4 by E and the metal bumpers and everything. This one does have the satin finish black grille which is pretty much the only optional equipment that's been put on this vehicle. Of course all the LED head lamps, running lights and fog lights, all part of that Rubicon X package standard. You get the black and blue hood decal on there, anti-glare. The color match fenders, the color match hard top as well. You get the trail rated badge on the side, on this side as well because they have the antennas in the windshields now. This is of course Corning Gorillac Glass. You still get the sandals on the shroud there. This one it's pretty easy to see, sometimes they are pretty hard to see. You get seven slots in the vent there as well as seven slots on that grille. This one does have the front trail cam on it. You get the blue tow hooks with the 4 by E package and of course the metal bumpers all come standard with the Rubicon X package. You get the painted and polished aluminum wheels. You get the blue Jeep logo with the 4 by E package. This one has BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO2 tires. These are LT28570R17s and a nice all terrain tread pattern to them. Look at the suspension there and this one does have the rock rails with the Rubicon X package standard. You can take these doors off. They got T50 on there. That's for the Torx 50 bit that you have to use to take those doors off. We did a demo on how to take your doors off your jail. That is in the description below, linked in the description below. You also have a 3M rock guard on these back fenders. Color match hardtop like I said. This one does have the sport brakes in the back. You can tell if they've got those little slots. They're the sport brakes and that's standard on the Rubicon X package as well. Coming around to the back. Back up parking sensors. You get the receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. Now I believe this one, because it doesn't have the 35 inch tire and wheel group, that this one has a max tow capacity of 3,500 pounds. Let me know if I'm wrong in the comments below. This one does have the backup LED or the LED lights for the back tail lights. There's the matching spare. Take a quick look at the back here. You get your case for your front hardtop pieces. You also get your charger back here. This is a case for that charger. You also have the Alpine premium sound system with the subwoofer back here. This must be an extension cord. This must be the big charger. I'm not sure what this is. I'm not sure what that is. Let me know if you know what it is in the comments below, but here's the normal charger. Anyways, you get holes for your door hinge, roof and windshield bolts. This one has the insulated hardtop. A little bit better sound deadening and keeps it a little bit warmer. You get four bolts on each side.  We did a demo on how to take your hardtop off. Once again, if you want to check that out, that's in the description below. Seven slots on the back here. You get the two-door four-door wheelbase and overall length as well as water forwarding on there where it's developed and built in too. And just really like this Bikini blue pearlcoat. Let's take a look at that metallic flake in it. It does have a lot of metal flake in it. Looks really good. Really a cool color. You get the black fuel door on here. This one does have blind spot monitoring. The heated mirrors, the enter-and-go system show you the back seats real quick. You get the blue stitching with the hybrid package. Latch child safety system. So these seats go down just a little bit different than your normal Wrangler because this is where the batteries are on these vehicles. There's also a Jeep climbing up a hill there with Easter eggs of the 4xE. And then these seats go down like so. So you get a little bit of a different level when you put these back seats down on a normal Wrangler. They go pretty much flat to the floor. These have a lip to them to the back storage area. And then they just go back like that. Factory floor mats back here. You get 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in, and two USBs, two USB C's. The other big thing for 2024 that they changed. You get side curtain airbags now, standard. And they also changed where the map lights are and the speakers are back here. You also get child safety locks and those back doors. Let's check out these front seats because this is probably one of my favorite interiors I have for the Wrangler. The black with the blue stitching, the power seats, those were new for 2024. And these seats are, it's a really soft leather, but it's stiff. If that makes any sense. You get the Rubicon stitch into the backrest. It's a soft touch, but it's a stiff leather. So it feels like it's going to be really sturdy and hold up a long time. You get factory floor mats down there. This is your hybrid system. So you can put it in hybrid mode, just electric mode or e-save mode and basically just run on the gas engine. This is definitely, I think, hybrids are, if you're going to go any sort of electric, do the hybrid because you'll never be stuck. If you run out of battery, you should still have gas. If you run out of gas, you should have a little bit of hybrid left to get to where you need to go. Tilt telescopic steering wheel, but those are the controls for the hybrid system. You get this kind of Gore-Tex finish on the dash with the blue trim with the hybrid. Once again, you get the blue stitching on the doors, power locks and mirrors. I'm not going to go through the instrument cluster or the radio too much. I'm just going to show you the steering wheel here. You get the blue stitching on the insides of that steering wheel. Once again, this leather is like a soft-touch leather. You get the gorilla and the windshield. Blue tooth information center controls on the left, audio controls in the back, and cruise controls and adaptive cruise controls on the right. Now, this one has the Uconnect 12.3 inch Uconnect 5 radio. This one does have the navigation system, which you get with the Alpine premium sound system, and there's Highway 41. This system is supposed to be five times faster than the Uconnect 4 systems that they had in the Wranglers before. You get AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities. You get all your different apps on here. I'm not going to go through everything, but I'm just going to quickly show you these. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay. This one does have off-road pages. You get the hybrid electric mode stuff. You can go through that. So you get the e-hybrid. How many kilowatts you got going on? Driving history, schedules, e-save. So a lot of really neat stuff that you can do in here. Also, you have your cameras on here, which I'll show you those, because they've made these HD. Crystal clear.  Now, those are dynamic grid lines. So as I turn that steering wheel, those lines change, which would be ultra handy if you're off-roading, so that you're not going to hit any logs or rocks or anything and wreck your wheels. Down here are your more tactile volume tuning and climate controls. This is your regen mode. So when you have this on, it's actually going to use the brakes and basically everything that's slowing the vehicle down to recharge those batteries. So it's a recharge mode and it's very noticeable when you turn that on and you're driving, because the vehicle slows down extremely quickly without even hitting the brakes. Stability control, speeds like crawl control, parking sensors, USB, AUX, USB-C. Four auxiliary up-fit switches, off-road plus mode, sway bar, disconnect, front and rear locking axles or the rear axle. So this is what makes a Rubicon a Rubicon and the 4x4 shifter on the floor, 8-speed automatic transmission, keyless entry with a remote start and the flipper key on there. And then of course you get that kind of Gore-Tex finish on dash there as well. You get the insulated hardtop pieces up here too, assistant SOS buttons and you can tell, I can tell when I'm talking in these videos, it's definitely more of a dampened sound. It's not as echoey in here and sounds really good. Auto dimming mirror and your home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. So I am going to go turn on all the lights and then turn off the lights in the picture studio so that you can see how bright they are. And then just do a final walk around, oh this is where you charge your vehicle. So just plug it in right there and it'll blink at you if it's charging or not charging or full or not full. So let me know what you think of this Wrangler in the comments below. Kind of a quick video. I'm also going to show you the original window sticker at the end of video. If you don't want to click the link below, I think it's easier to click the link below but we'll go through the original window sticker here. So give me a second to turn off all these lights. I'll do a final walk around, show you how bright they are, show you the original window sticker and then we'll be all done. Alright you can see just how bright these lights are. So glad Jeep made the LED lighting group standard on pretty much all the packages. You can see just how nice and bright those lights are and it's a nice clean white light from those LEDs. Very nice visibility with those lights and the LED tail lamps are very good looking as well. You also get the LED license plate lights and these are definitely you know you're following a Wrangler with that pattern on there. So I'll turn the lights back on in the studio here and then we will take a look at the original window sticker. Thank you so much for checking out the video. If you want to stick around for the original window sticker, I get it. It's linked in the description below. But let me know what you liked about the video, what you didn't like about the video.

Hey, jabbam-de-beba-ba-ba-ba! Alright! We like to have a lot of fun around here. But sometimes we are in some trouble writing sketches. We'll be clipped. This is all trash. We've been sitting around here writing for 30 minutes, and it's all trash, Josh. We can't be out of sketch ideas. We've only had one episode, too. On episode two. How...why can't we think of anything? Quick. What's that? We do have one piece of fan mail. Well, don't just sit there on your butt. Open it up. From James. Hi. Love the work you've done, Cue the Spirit. Wow. Oh, it's great to be a fan. We do have a fan. Maybe for the next episode, Cue can roll you into a large cigarette and beat you. I think you're going to like it. That's James. That's... That's a... That's not a sketch, right, Cue? It's an idea. But... Huh, let's beat you. I don't know if I want to be beaten as a human cigarette. I'm a little bit skeptical. Yeah, you're right. That won't work. All right, Josh. I've actually kind of been working on a sketch idea myself and I haven't told you about it. I've just been really working out all the kinks, but I think it's pretty solid now and I'm ready to pitch it. Tell me. So what if I'm just like a really popular man around town, right, and I'm just kind of walking down the street and I'm like, hey, oh, hey, hey, how's the wife? Hey, ooh, is that soup? Maybe I'll try a little bit. Great to see you. Is that anything? I mean, it's a little bit delusional, but... Okay. Gape? Oh, for me? Sure. How delicious, friend of mine. Anyway, Ben is not on the street. Ben is right behind us. He's baking the cake in the house.  I'm Hugh Hearn. And welcome to the Hugh's Hearn show. Hey, I'm Josh. Today we have a lot of fun guests. Don't we, Josh? Yeah, man. Run that tape. You said it, buddy. Today we have a viewer back. Welcome to Hugh's Hearn, a show for the herd. Today we have... Well, we're incredibly lucky to have guests who are just way more famous and talented than the two of us combined. We have Rob Pooley and Luke Jarvis. Hey, fellas. Let me panic, and then let me just guess. Rob? You're Rob. Rob Pooley? There it is. All right. That's fine. That's fine. We'll only make that mistake once within this time. Or I won't. You know, we'll never know. Thank you for being here, fellas. So Rob Pooley and Luke Jarvis, of course, have a beautiful website, www.tracegados.tv. You can find them on social media. Just get that out of the way. Get the plugs out of the way. Because our small pool might not have heard of you, because me and Josh, a couple of North Carolinians, haven't spent much time in Arlington or Boston and New York. How did you feel to start working with ACMI? Rob, Rob's the Arlington resident, and so Rob and I were already... We had a production company, and we were producing a lot of different content. And of course, one of the common struggles when you're starting out is sourcing equipment. We had some stuff of our own that we used, but inevitably for a lot of things, particularly our own personal projects, we ended up wanting to rent stuff that was a little better. And I don't even remember exactly how we figured out about ACMI. Specifically, I think what happened was we were filming a pilot for NBC Sports Boston. We wanted to pitch a talk show about the Celtics, all with comedians talking about the Celtics, which ultimately we did film in NBC Sports Boston and said no. So that is what it is. We were looking for a studio space, and again, we were prepared to rent something, and then we discovered that actually Rob lives in Arlington and they have this incredible studio where we could film for a very nominal cost. So that started our relationship with ACMI, and from there we discovered not only did they have that studio, but they have all types of equipment that was super valuable for us for different projects and also a community of people and staff members who are fellow creatives making stuff. So that was really cool. It was very random and kind of by happenstance, but we're really grateful for it because it's hard to imagine doing some of the stuff we do now without their help. And that's the gear that you use now because a couple of college students, like watching y'all's videos, I mean, it looks so superb. It's very clean, and then I was just watching the janitor fighting the bully one earlier today. It's just such clean, well shot cinematographic, all those buzzwords. But then you'll just have the montage of him sitting on whoopie cushions. Maybe we can touch that in here. It's just a great combination. Yeah, thank you.  There's definitely some, we rely more heavily on slapstick than at least most other stuff that I see getting made right now. I don't know, sometimes I wonder if we're kind of out of fashion or something.  Yeah, it's like a great way to kind of trick people and reel them in, you know? Exactly. It's all about the deceit. I should plug and say, on top of the generous plugs you already gave us, our short is appearing in the independent Boston Film Festival, IFF Boston, this coming weekend and then next week. IFF Boston, it's the biggest film festival in Boston. It's one we were really excited to be in. It would have been like a year ago. It was one of these ones that got postponed because of COVID and all that, and now is only online, although one benefit of being online is, for instance, maybe someone could get a lot of people to watch. Yeah, anyway, it's cool. We're excited to be in it, and it's fun that at least it's getting some amount of festival exposure even though the timing of the release really couldn't have been worse. We originally put it out right at the beginning of 2020. The first festivals were like March. I remember realizing when the first one got postponed, I remember I was telling Rob, the other ones are getting postponed. Man, this is like a little blip. We don't need to cancel our flights. We wouldn't postpone it again. Obviously, I was wrong. It was a year of very bad predictions by everybody, I think. I actually nailed every prediction after that, but that first ones were committed old women. We did just wrap something that we're very excited about that we did film during COVID, which is our first feature-length film. Yeah, we shot that and wrote and produced it entirely during COVID. It's super fun, super exciting, something that will hopefully be out this fall. So are you guys in North Carolina? Josh is in North Carolina. I'm over in Boston right now. So we're really, we're stretched in four different directions right now. I only asked because a bunch of the festivals we submitted, I was trying to look for festivals that are worth it and actually seem really cool and popular. And I was surprised how many of those are down in the South. I mean, we submitted to Nashville Film Festival. Atlanta Film Festival. Yeah, we didn't submit to that one. That was too early a deadline. It's so weird though. Atlanta recently, I guess, became kind of a big film city just because of Tyler Perry and whatnot. My mom always tries to get me to apply to be an extra in those movies. Hugh drives from Boston down to Atlanta to be in the background of a Tyler Perry movie. It makes perfect sense. You could be the one in the background that's like, I love you, Medea. Or I just don't understand that I'm in a movie and I'm like, I love you Tyler Perry and then I have to get escorted offset. I heard about not to take us too far off track, but I just talked to a friend who works in the industry and they have a very close friend of theirs that they got work as an extra on a television series. And the person filmed an entire episode where they were featured pretty prominently in the background and they got so bored over the course of the day of working on it that they would very intensely stare into the camera. And they did it so many times that they couldn't air the episode of the show afterwards. After they edited, they realized and they were like, this guy ruined the show. Oh man. But that could have been you. That could still be you, maybe. Yeah, I mean, as long as this episode doesn't blow up and then I get a blacklisted in Hollywood trumbo style or something. Hugh will look at the camera at my childhood home now and I mentioned my parents about this show and they're like, that's arrogant Massachusetts. You got to be careful what you're saying. I'm like, come back to Vyche. That's fine. Yeah, Josh was just talking about how much he likes JFK the other day. So we're beloved in the Northeast. Why have we loved you so much through different times? I had another question for you, fellas. Was I just with your Jander video, I really felt like it just had a rhythm to it. I felt like that with the video called Wall as well. Oh, Lincoln Wall. But like, do you guys, I know that the music video is something that y'all create as well and that it will be hired to do. And do you see that kind of influencing the way that you like edit or pace any of the other things that you make? For sure. Definitely from the concept, from jump, think about rhythm and music. Apart from even our own production, just love music, love talking about music. And love montage. I think one of the things, my favorite part of the janitor short is the training sequence, which is purely just music and visuals. And that's just, I mean, that's, I think, when that's the most cinematic type of video you can make is when you're propelling a story entirely through visual, basically, and then music helps sort of compliment that and provide the rhythm. So, yeah, that's a type of thing that we're drawn to. There's some scenes like that and the feature that we just made as well, maybe to a lesser degree, because it's a feature. So, I guess you need to give it a little bit more of like a lifelike rhythm sometimes. But yeah, it's just, it's so fun, I think, when you're watching something and it's just propelled purely by music and eye-catching visuals. It's also just efficient storytelling, you know, which I think is something in music videos, too, where you just, you have to be ultra-efficient with the time that you have, because it's very limited. So, I think we really pride ourselves in trying to be as efficient as possible with storytelling. And montages have evolved quite a bit from like the eye of the tiger phase, when it was just, that was like the only one. We've definitely, it's gone from music, kind of just being in the background to driving it more and such. Sorry, I'm holding some Pokemon cards as a fidget board. Naturally. Just like Charlie Rose would do when he was doing his interviews. Yeah, yeah, Letterman would always just be under the table like this, you know. Gotta catch them all. Where in Carolina are you guys from? Because I'm from Carolina originally. I was born there in Greensboro and my big brother still lives in Charlotte. Oh, really? Oh, well, we're from Chapel Hill. Well, Josh lives in Chapel Hill, but with us, he's from Newberry originally. I'm just gonna speak for Josh. Yeah, Chapel Hill right near campus of UNC. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, what was it like growing up in Greensboro? I really enjoyed it. And then I guess, how did that lead to y'all two meeting? Was it, was there a tale of the oldest time? I lived in Greensboro till I was about like 12 years old. Then I moved up to Massachusetts with my family when my dad got a job up here and he had some family up here. And shortly after that moved to Bedford, Mass, where Luke and I met in sixth, seventh grade and since then I've been friends. So, oh, wow. So quick question here. Is there another cat or like, where's the name from? Was it a trio of you guys first or? That's a great question. Get asked it a lot. And I've never quite developed the correct quippy answer.  I have a fake answer I can give after the one you give. All right. You can give the real answer. The real answer is it was a name hatched by another buddy of ours that we grew up with. Like sophomore year of high school.  And we would call, and it was me and two other guys actually, Rob wasn't even involved at that time. Although Rob later got it, but you know, that was just our like brand, right? Like, and it's, it never made any sense even at the time. Like it was purely, I can still picture being in the room and he just kind of looks around because you know, you want to make the fake credits. It's like the best part of making the terrible movie. Yeah. When you're like really, really young is like, oh yeah, we're going to make the credits and that'll look like a real movie. You know, and then you make it scroll up like, yeah, exactly. It takes like 10 minutes to get to the movie because there's so many credits. And so we needed our fake production company and there was three of us in the room. And the first suggestion was Trace Gatos. And that's what we went with. You spend more time working on the title of the movie than the actual script.  Yeah, right. And all the titles didn't make sense either. My fake answer for why we're called Trace Gatos is because it's me, it's Luke, and it's Luke's cat, Charlie. So that's my fake answer that, I don't know, Luke. We're still searching for a better fake answer if you guys have one. Yeah, I think, yeah. I've liked all these answers so far.  That would have been better. I thought he was doing something like that too. Hang on to that one. You can have that one for free. These are good answers. Honestly, I just also like the irony of they're not being three. That's a good enough reason to have three in the title. Here's the other, so if you Google Trace Gatos. It's Mexican restaurants, right? Correct. That's what I call them. It's one restaurant. As far as I've found, there's only two Trace Gatos in North America. I'm going to go ahead and say that as a fact. Our production company at a Mexican restaurant that's like 20 minutes from us. And we didn't realize that, obviously, until fairly recently. And it does seem especially strange that it would be a company or a restaurant in Massachusetts. One of our long-term goals is to destroy them somehow. Or buy them out. Buy them out, yeah. For our memorabilia, like a planet Hollywood or something. That's like 18 months away, at least. Yeah, we've got to work out a little bit on that. Oh, yeah. Well, it's like how there's actually a farm right next to Josh and I's apartment that's called Hughes Heard, where they herd sheep. And we've been trying to firebomb them since. Well, I would go the other way. I think you just show up and go, all right, I'm ready. Where's my sheep? I would also like to, with our remaining time, jump into a little bit of TV talk, which is just basically how we sold the show when we were pitching it initially. We said that we wanted to talk about what we're watching. And then it's kind of sold into like a five-minute sketch comedy thing at the beginning, these great interviews. So for legal purposes, what have you all been watching lately on streaming services, movies? Rob, take the lead, buddy. I've been rewatching two things. I've been rewatching The Sopranos, which I think is the best drama of all time. And I've been rewatching The Simpsons. And pretty much it's the only two things I've been watching for like 25 years. But yeah, like I love The Simpsons so much. I think Luke and I both think it's like a huge, call it our biggest influence. Yeah, I'll throw this one. So just because we were mentioning our tone earlier, I think one thing that we've pitched or described our videos in the past is like The Simpsons brought to life or something like that. And we've been repeatedly advised not to say that because for a number of reasons. The Simpsons hasn't been popular in the same way. Well, but yeah, and I think it was an industry person who told us like The Simpsons means something different to everybody or something. And therefore like it's not a great way of actually describing whatever it is you're trying to describe. But what it meant to us I think was that there's a mix of sort of like earnest heart and then also like super broad wackiness, which I think to some degree you can see even in that Janet is short. But anyway, I will second Rob and say that The Simpsons is definitely, I mean, those early seasons I guess he would say. Yeah, I mean, I think it really, if you start watching it, like if you watch when like the first five seasons are airing, that's like pretty different show from like next five. And then you have like all the ones that they're making now still, like they're still making them. And that is a, that's a weird show. It's a weird show now. It helps me out. Part of it, I keep wondering if like the right writing team or something could just suddenly get it back to not exactly what it was, but at least something not what it is. But I don't know, maybe it's not possible.  Like maybe it's like 45 minutes. I would be pretty excited about that, even though I haven't like watched any of the new ones since like season 15 or something. I'd be sad about it, even though I haven't watched any of the new ones. I like the idea that it's on, even though I never, ever, ever watch it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Yeah, like it was their birthday on Facebook. I'll like give them a thumbs up. I'm trying to think of things. There's always those celebrities that will pass away. I'm trying to think of like a more recent one where it's like a person I haven't thought of in like 15 years, but then the second they pass away, I'm just like, what? We need them. Right. Jerry Stiller died this year. And I was like, hadn't seen anything that he'd been in for a while. And I was like, oh, we need it. That guy, we needed him from comedy in 2021. I honestly don't know that I felt the exact, that's a great example. I felt the exact same way. And I really can't think of anything since like, I don't know, Seinfeld really, I guess he's on King of Queens, but I didn't really watch King of Queens. Did you have a heartbreak kid with pretty good? Heartbreak kid. I was actually curious if I've been, I found, I've wanted to watch the original heartbreak kid with Charles Groton for like maybe 10 years now. And I can't seem to find anywhere to watch it. If anybody at home watching this happens to have a hookup for the heartbreak kid, let me know. Luke is an anchor. If Charles Groton is watching. He's such a ritual. Um, I have, I, I saw it, you know, was similarly kind of inspired to really want to track it down. Huge Charles Groton fan. And I remember being a little underwhelmed. Brody. Professor. You know, that was a while ago. It's available. Was it the same plot as the one with Ben Stiller? What did you say? Was it like the same plot as the one with Ben Stiller and like, I understand. I think so. I haven't seen the Stiller one, but it's, it's gotta be. The weird thing is it's available on Amazon for $99 used and new for $135. And that's the only way that I really good. I'd like to meet the person. It just sells for the used one. I mean, I really, really want to see it, but I'll take my chance. Man, imagine that DVD was so worth it. I don't, if I watch it 99 more times, I'd still keep watching it. With every penny. Josh, you got anything for us? You've been streaming. Oh, well, I haven't watched anything lately, but the one thing that makes you want to read by Netflix is a flying Lotus got his, I believe it's like an animated show, Avatar style uploaded. And I think that sounds pretty sick. I don't know. Yeah. So I've been listening to the soundtrack and it was, I didn't know this was a thing until the soundtrack came out last, whatever, Friday. What's the show called? Yasuki? Is that it? Yeah, that's that's it. So the soundtrack, I guess that makes sense. And you haven't seen it, but you're saying you think it would be good. Oh, totally. I mean, I really like, I feel like all those musicians, like certainly like Thundercat and Flying Lotus and there's like Kamazii Washington, they're all into like anime. So I feel like whatever, like, they were together to produce with like the music. It must slap pretty hard. Yeah. And Kamazii Washington, incredible. Midnight Gospel was a Netflix cartoon that came out recently. And I feel like it could be something like that. That was a pretty good one. It was like they would like take podcast recordings and like just animate over them, make them these kind of like wacky adventure time looking stories. And it could be kind of like that. I don't know why I get adventure time vibes from Thundercat. But I guess that's just the kind of cartoon that I would want to watch. And if I were to plug any kind of show that I've been streaming lately, I would say have you there, you all seen How To with John Wilson? It's on HBO Max. Yeah, I'm familiar with it. And I've heard great things. I've actually, it's one of those ones that's been recommended so many times that I'm like not watching it almost as like. You're numb to it. Just passes right over. Which I know is like an immature response. It's I mean it's like they only there's only six 30 minute episodes.  You've got me hooked for a year or anything. But it's kind of cool. I mean I saw it's produced by it's produced by Nathan Fielder, right? Yeah, and we love Nathan for you. Nathan for you. We produce by Nathan Fielder. Yeah, it's it has the same energy for sure. Really? It's the same thing where it's like is this guy just like really dying in character or is he awkward but kind of aware that but it worked for me there. That's cool. It seems like already HBO Max has a much higher batting average than like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Or I mean I guess Amazon Prime isn't quite in the same league. But like. But I mean I just watched more to combat and it was it was really bad. It was the new one. I saw the first like five minutes or something and I don't know what I was expecting. Like I was like oh yeah he like gets stabbed in the heart or something. You know like I don't know just super graphic violence. It's like yeah it's as advertised. It's Mortal Kombat. That's what it is. Yeah yeah. 10 minutes in I was like I'm lost. Like I don't know what's going on. So you're saying it was a little too intellectual? Yeah oh the plot just went right over my head. No I made it an hour in and then I started googling if the movie got any better. Like that was the point I was at. And they're like it needs a sequel. Like they don't go to the Mortal Kombat tournament in this one. Which you would you would think with the name. But they don't. Did you like the original Mortal Kombat? I actually just watched that afterwards. I was like let's take it old school. And it was pretty good. I liked it. This is where you fall down. How do you get these guys? Is it available for. I'll make that my plug. Is it available for less than a hundred dollars? Oh okay good. Oh yeah that's my price point. It's into a VHS tape that's broken and it's still five thousand. That's great. Well we told you fellas 30 minutes. We'll trim two minutes off to keep to our word. And for Hughes heard. I'm Hugh. And for Hugh heard. Yeah thanks fellas. Rob Pooley Luke Jarvis. Thank you for being here.  We never nailed down our closing line. If you guys had any good ideas. I'm Hugh and Hugh. I'm trying to think of a Hugh you sort of.  Disney Channel. Yeah just throw in some of those the crappy music that we're talking about for public domain. Make that your jingle. Yeah okay yeah we'll just find the first most royalty free song. I would go the other way again. I would do a Rihanna song and hope to get an illegal dispute. That could be good promotion. That would really publicize and change. That would be our ticket to fame right now. Hugh's heard brought to you by Flying Lotus. Just like I can't play him throughout. And then they get the legal rights to it and they change it to Flying Lotus is heard. But they gain the they gain like the 30 followers we have.
