Aloha and welcome to Talk Story with John Waihei. We got another great show for you today. 2018 is the year when the people of Hawaii get once again, get the opportunity to decide whether or not they want to have a constitutional convention. The last convention that we had in Hawaii was in 1978. Now that I think is like 40 years ago, 30 years ago, whatever, it's a long time ago. And we haven't had one since. What I'm going to introduce you to today is a series of events that will be held at various places across the islands where we will have an opportunity to talk about the San 1878 Constitutional Convention, and also decide or discuss whether or not we should have another one these many years later. And I was fortunate enough to be a participant in the last convention, and so I've been sort of dragged out, you see, that's what they do to us senior type politicians. And being used as a speaker in this series of events. Behind the scenes, there are a lot of people working to make this possible. And we happen to have such a young man with us today from the School of Hawaiian Knowledge. We have a kaika hasi. Aloha, coming in. Aloha.   So the logistics of all of this fall right on your shoulder. You're right. There's a lot of people who are working on this important project. And I think it gets back to the really important question, which I think we're going to talk about over the next, you know, several minutes on the show, but over the next several months with your speaking series is, should we be having another con con? Should we be having, and specifically this particular series is specifically targeted to Native Hawaiian issues, right? That's right, yes. Now, before we begin though, tell us a little bit about yourself. Well, let's see. I was born in 1978. Oh, that's a good beginning.  Well, I'm not sure what the causality is necessarily in this whole situation, but I would definitely say that myself and my generation have been an incredible beneficiary of the work that yourself and the other delegates did in 1978. Oh, thank you. Because we get to live in a world where, you know, we take it as a given that a little Hawaii should be co-equal with the English language and all these other innovations. We really got to get into that. We could talk about that. It's a little timely right now. Yeah, a little timely, but I still want to know more about you. So you were born in 1978, right about the time we were creating a new constitution and when did you grow up, go to school, a whole bit of it? I grew up on the Winward side. My wife and I and our family live in Kalehi Valley. I went to Iolani and UH Manoa. And how do you end up with this assignment? Well, you know, I work a bit with John Osorio at the School of Hawaiian Knowledge at Hawaii Nuiakea and this is one of many projects that we're working on at the School of Hawaiian Knowledge. Oh, thank you. You know, okay, let's get started. So this is a series of events. The first will be this coming Thursday, February 1st, and it'll be at the law school. That's right. Okay. Who are the people, besides myself, who are the people participating in that event? By the way, folks, I think we can get this up on the monitor. So there is an online registration form for individuals who want to attend. He is a little limited at the law school. We have experts in Hawaiian rights, Hawaiian law, who will be following yourself, Governor. And they're going to be responding to, you know, to the issues that you bring up in your discourse. Okay, as I understand it, because I was part of the 7-8 con con, and you weren't even born, I get a chance. Maybe just recently born. I get a chance to, like, tell people about what it was like. But I'm not the only person that was there. We're also going to have Walter Reddy who's going to be on. Right. And also, Malia Kutagawa, I believe, will also be speaking, and a few other folks. And one other person from the law school. But except for Walter, neither of the other two people were really around in 7-8 either. Right. So the format of all of this is to talk about what we were trying to do in 7-8, Walter and myself, and then have your generation sort of react to how what we did affected their lives. Yes. And I think also, in addition to that, I think we're also going to be asking for the speakers to do a little bit of prognostication, looking forward and looking at, you know, what are the future trends that we need to be aware of, that we need to be cognizant of. And based on that, you know, whether or not we should be... Whether we should at least... And so the first, February 1st, the topic will be, the name of the event is Ina. Right. And I expect that what we will be doing is discussing the impact that the 1978 Constitution had on land issues, especially as it relates to Native Hawaiians in the state of Hawaii. Yes. But there's some fun things, though. And one of them is the fact that, see, Walter really was not a delegate. This is...most people don't know this, but Walter was not really a delegate. What he was was...he was probably one of the leading activists of that decade in the 1970s. And he had gone to Kahuaulavi. And he had occupied Kahuaulavi with some other people, both Kupuna or elders and young people. When he comes through the Kan Kan, and all of a sudden, he is a clerk. He worked for the Hawaiian Affairs Committee. So... There was French Disoto? Cerro. French Disoto was the chairman. So I'm actually looking forward to Walter's experiences, because he's the guy that took the proposals that were in the committee being discussed and got people to sign off on them. Okay. And I'd love to hear what he told some of those delegates that we were doing with respect to land issues. Governor, can I ask you a question? Sure. So given that Uncle Walter was not himself a delegate, but came from Kahuaulavi and brought...that's the story of the bomb that stopped in Hawaii. What is the relationship that you see between the on-the-ground struggle, the activism, etc., and the Kan Kan? How do those two things interrelate? You know, I told...I was at a meeting recently when I said that for many people like yourself don't realize that prior to 1980, most of the constitutional, state constitutional rights that we all take for granted and exercise, dealing with seeded lands, dealing with access, dealing with language, did not exist. And the Kan Kan was a chance to put it all down. What's interesting in terms of the discussion, obviously, is how that got done, what got done, how it got done. And just as important, I think, what...how is it now being used and interpreted? Is it your sense, Governor, that if not for Piquel, Hokulea... Oh, no, none of this, none of this. In fact, I don't want to give away our whole program. Just a teaser. But there's not a single...every provision in the Constitution that relates to the Native Hawaiians actually spun off of a grassroots movement. Okay. And there was somebody or some group that were out there, you know, working very hard to secure this. Now, I don't know if people like in your generation, and maybe that's what I'd like to know, actually realize that. They didn't realize that, for example, it was the protect Kaho'olavi Ohana that put together the proposal on access rights, because they wanted to go into this military zone or seated land revenues being talked about by the Aloha movement. Okay. So these... That was Mrs. Rice. Mrs. Rice. And so many more, so many more, and folks, if you really want to know these things, come Thursday. Yeah, yeah. That's right. No, but come Thursday to February 1st at the law school, and it's Classroom 2, I think. I believe so. And we will have a great time, we're going to discuss. Now, it doesn't all end on Thursday. Actually the following month on March 8th, we are going to be on the Winworth Community College, and it's going to be dealing with, I forgot the... The word that we're using for this event is mo'amehau, or culture, and sort of our language tradition. Language, let's chat about language a little bit. Okay. Okay, because there was a lot of, and in this instance, I think let's get a little bit out there. But in my memory, the language, there were a couple of things that were driving the need to recognize the Hawaiian language. It wasn't simply something like, wouldn't it be cool for Hawaii to be the only state with a native language as their official language? That would have been cool enough. Yes. It would have voted for it just on that basis, but there was something more important going on. And number one, we were in the middle of a renaissance, and people were, for the first time in years, learning their language. And so people like my cousin Larry Kimura on the Big Island and Kupuna were talking about it. You're related to everybody, right? Not everybody, but... Isn't Walter ready, your cousin too? Yes. Yes. Yeah, it's all family. It's a kind of a Hawaiian thing. That's right. And if you're not related, you should be, you know, it's just a matter of... But who are you? If you're not related to me. Yeah. Well, but even that has an important, sad story, because we're all related mainly because the Hawaiian population shrunk so, you know, shrunk down tremendously. That's true by 90% or so. 90% of the people that were here when Captain Cook arrived disappeared. I mean, the population went from a million or so down to 40,000 in 100 years. Yeah, we are related. And today, one of the good things about it is we can talk about it, and it's an important part of living here. But it was a tragedy that caused it, unfortunately. That's true. But anyway, I know that we're going to, we really, I'd like to really get into this language thing a little bit. Yeah. Okay. And so what one of the driving forces for doing this was the fact that all of us, or myself included, many of us in the con con, all the native Hawaiians in the con con, had family stories of their parents or others being punished for speaking the language. Right. Being punished for speaking the language. And we want to come back right after this short break and discuss why that influenced the 1978 Constitution and lead you, tease you a little bit about the kind of discussion that should be happening on March 8th at the Windward Community College. Hey, Aloha, Stan Energyman here on Think Tech, Hawaii, where community matters. This is the place to come to think about all things energy. We talk about energy for the grid, energy for vehicles, energy and transportation, energy and maritime, energy and aviation. We have all kinds of things on our show, but we always focus on hydrogen here in Hawaii, because it's my favorite thing. That's what I like to do. But we talk about things that make a difference here in Hawaii, things that should be a big changer for Hawaii. And we hope that you'll join us every Friday at noon on Stan Energyman and take a look with us at new technologies and new thoughts on how we can get clean and green in Hawaii. Aloha. Hi, I'm Ethan Allen, host of Eligible Science on Think Tech, Hawaii. Every Friday afternoon at 2 p.m., I hope you'll join me for likable science, where we'll dig into science, dig into the meat of science, dig into the joy and delight of science. We'll discover why science is indeed fun, why science is interesting, why people should care about science, and care about the research that's being done out there. It's all great, it's all entertaining, it's all educational, so I hope to join you for likable science. Welcome back to Talk Story with John Waihe and our special guest, Te Kaika Hase, from the School of Hawaiian Knowledge. And don't worry, folks, this happens occasionally and I take care of it. It's some politician trying to call me. It's somebody. It's always somebody. Okay, we'll do that. Where was it? Oh, where were we? Folks, if you want to call in, the number is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and we welcome phone calls. So all of us, my parents grew up being forbidden to speak Hawaiian, and in fact we had an episode in the beginning of the century, right after annexation, when the legislature, when the legislature of the New Territory of Hawaii refused to conduct business in anything but Hawaiian, and the United States then refused to accept anything that they passed because it was written in a foreign language, you see. So this is kind of our cultural history. Now all of a sudden in the 70s it's coming back, you know? So the idea was to make it, to make sure that that never happened again, that that never happened again, that our people would never be punished for speaking their language. Which by the way, just as a diversion, was very upsetting to see what happened to Calicoa, you know, who is a well-known activist, but also a professor. That's right. This is not somebody to try to act up, I mean this was a professor who actually is very articulate in the native tongue, and he was recently issued a bench warrant for wanting to speak his native tongue in court. Which the judge subsequently reversed. Well yeah, he did, but nevertheless what was shocking about all of that is how could this happen in 2018? After all these years when, you know, specifically done, now what is kind of interesting to me and was the fact that the legal analysis that the court used to see whether he was entitled to a interpreter was based on a civil rights statute, which basically says if you can't speak English, you can have an interpreter.  I mean where we should have gone was through the Hawaii Constitution, and said boom, it's right there, you need to speak. So that was a major driving force, so that something like what happened wouldn't happen ever again, and then it popped up. The other one, which I think a lot of people is a little bit more subtle, the other objective was the fact that all of the original documents dealing with land title in Hawaii are written in Hawaiian. And one of the, and it was without the change of making Hawaiian the state language, what was happening was that these original documents were then being interpreted by court interpreters who were generally biased to the government. And the interpretation became the controlling document instead of the original language. So there was something a lot more than just being cool. And so that will take up hopefully, well we can take up any of these issues at any time, but that will be March 8th at the Windward Community College, right? And then when's the next one? April 12th, and that's going to be at the Judiciary History Center. And do you know what the topics are generally? So the topic for that event is OLA, or health, and I'm not sure if the panel has been finalized, but can you give us maybe a, your thoughts on the aspects of the Constitution and what to do with that? You know, Hawaiian health was very important, I mean once again, and in this area it was mostly indirect. We didn't do like the Hawaiian language where you took it in and so, but it was really health and the healthy environment and the need for agricultural lands and the rest, you know? And so we will be doing that on April 12th. The last event on May 10th will be at the, it's going to be at the Center for Hawaiian Studies. Okay. So it's going to be, oh, that's going to be fun. It will be exciting. Yeah, because first of all, the Kan Kan, I don't think anybody realizes, but it was the kind of the, happening the same time that the whole idea of self-governance, sovereignty actually, was being discussed in the Hawaiian community, and it didn't really originate with the Hawaiian community. I mean it was being discussed all over. For example, the war on poverty was very, very heavy on, on the management of their own resources of beneficiaries resources and everything. So folks, this is going to be a great opportunity. I mean we got four, we're going to go into depth on how these provisions that are currently in the Constitution, I'm trying my best not to give away any stories and make any, make any predictions, but we are, at each of these events, they will be my, I will be given a chance to tell a little bit about my story in the Kan Kan. There is, we will have people who were there in 1978, as well as people like yourselves, of self, who, you know, wasn't born about the time that we were talking about all of this. Yeah. It was an exciting time. Yes, absolutely. And what else? You want to know anything about it? I'm going to let you be the host for a few minutes. Okay. I wanted to ask you, if you could share. I know one of the documents that came out of the Kan Kan was this idea of Pulaka Power. Can you talk a little bit about that? Yeah. You know, it was interesting. Well, first of all, given the context of the Kan Kan, I think most people don't realize because the native Hawaiian issues became subsequently following the Kan Kan very prominent that actually when the Kan Kan started, it really, native Hawaiian issues were not even on the agenda. It really was a kind of a establishment versus, it was the two establishment. There's this press, you know, and I know they don't like to be called the establishment, but the advertiser had decided that they needed to, we need to have a Kan Kan. These are the issues that would be discussed, and they list them out there. And Star Bulletin jumped in it, and they were on one side trying to look like or be the reformers. And then the other side of the Kan Kan was the political establishment, the unions, the big business people, and they had an agenda, which was exactly opposite. And how native Hawaiians were out here somewhere protesting conditions. Sounds familiar. And they decided when after we got the Kan Kan started that their issues, this was an opportunity for their issues to be heard. How many delegates were there in the 78 Kan Kan? There was 101, and maybe about 10 at the most, I think, or something very close to that, we're native Hawaiians. Really? Yes, less than 10%. But thanks to people like Anti-Frenchy Di Soto and others, Hawaiians got to be very, very significant. And one of the reasons was Anti-Frenchy or Frenchy hired, she hired the protesters. That's why Walter Riddie is so interesting, because he went from being an activist on the island to a committee clerk actually talking people into their signatures was something that went into a document. So I think that that whole transformation would be interesting. Now, on my part, what became apparent once we started the Kan Kan was that there was a third way. There was a third way that hadn't been discussed in public, hadn't been, and it generally had these aspects. It was environmentally oriented, and as you know, the Kan Kan came out with things like the water commission with a great deal about the environment. It came with the right to sue for a clean environment. It had Hawaiian rights as one of its major issues, and everybody talked about that. They tried to make the state more fiscally responsible, and there was a lot about that. So they were these other issues, and they needed to be a cohesive way of expressing it. I mean, how do you express a political philosophy that's different than the prevailing views? And so what we did was we created a counter philosophy, and the counter philosophy was called Palakka Power, and if people want to know more about it, it gets to come on over and we'll get started February 1st at the Richardson School of Law with the issue of Aina, but also with some of the process, and March 8th and Wynward Community College and April 12th at the judiciary, and May 10th, we had the UH Hawaiian study. So yeah, Palakka Power was a chance for us to define a vision that looked at institutions differently than the other people who were participating in the counter. Thank you very much, and thank you for joining me. Thank you, Governor.


There's business owners and people in our industry, people outside of our industry, that really aren't focused on expansion right now, right? They're not taking this whole thing seriously. I really believe right now with everything that's went on over the last four months. Hey, impersonation attendees. Hey, stay with me. I want to show you what we're doing right now. We talked about changing the venue, making some changes for this year, and I want to show them exactly to you, all right? So, we talked about how the palms is closed for an indefinite period of time. We had to change and move the conference, okay? I'm actually signing. I'm actually signing. I can't show you all the details, but you can see the statler on the top. I'm signing the group sales agreement for the statler right now, okay? So, you can see my signature towards the end. We are finalizing the deal with the statler right now. There you go, okay? Right here, finalizing it, locking it in stone. Same dates, moving to the statler. It's a five-star hotel, unbelievable venue. We were there last year, a ton of raving reviews. Michael McCormick of Intern Soup just said one of the big reasons why he loves the statler is close-dit environment, restaurants in the big five-star hotel, networking opportunities, the social experience aspect, networking, brainstorming, getting ideas, meeting people, right? Taking those online relationships offline. That's the perfect venue for that, okay? So, we're super excited for that. Again, July 24th, 25th of 2020. Actually, after I get done showing you these, I'm going to show you around a little bit. I know we've had a lot of changes. We've added a lot of team members. We move offices like I change underwear, it seems like, so I'm going to walk you through and kind of get you up to date on the lay of the land here as well, okay? So, the statler signed, sealed and delivered, okay? Which is awesome. Also, I want to up our party game this year. I can't give you too many specifics. We got multiple big surprises when it comes to the VIP party this year. Everyone's invited to the party. You want to be there, okay? You do not want to miss this. I can't give you specifics. I can't give you any specifics, but all I can say is we just signed, sealed and delivered. A sick, a super sick. Also, here's one of the speakers calling me as we speak. My good buddy, Nate Offert. McLaren Nate is calling me as we speak. He'll be speaking at the event. He's super jacked. He's excited. Probably calling to, I was actually, we were filling him in on the party earlier. I can tell you it's got a stage. It's got a huge dance floor. It's got a ton of seating. Maybe these are reasons why you want to attend. It's got three different bars. I mean this place is massive. It's one of the coolest spots in Dallas for an event. And we just signed, sealed. Make sure this doesn't show anything too much. Signed, sealed and delivered this as well for the party. I don't think I've given away too much yet, but I'll tell you what, you don't want to miss a party. You don't want to miss a party. All right, so let me, let me give you a, I'd like to show you around a little bit. Stuff has changed. We're adding the marketing teams growing. We're adding several project managers, sales staff. We've even, apparently we've got a bunch of boxes lately that I'm going to show you around. So we got some new, these are some things you'll be able to get while you're at 8% nation this year. Okay, some swag, right? Cause I've got see a little stuff all over, right? Pop sockets, even a nation pop sockets. How cool is that? Right? Pullover, half zip pullovers, okay? For 8%, which are really, really nice. They're so, they're comfy, they're warm.  Okay, it looked a lot like these, super comfy, lightweight and some pretty sick socks. All right, some of these boxes I can show you, some of them I can't. Let's jump to this one, Dylan. This is probably my favorite item that we've ever bought for 8%. Absolutely love this.  Are you kidding me? 8%, 8%, 8% and it's got tons of pockets. I mean, it's unbelievable the amount of storage space in this thing. It's crazy nice the red on the inside. I mean, everyone is, these will sell out faster than any other item at 8% 2020 this year, just because of how unique and cool they are, right? You can actually charge from the inside, it can hold a laptop, it can actually, you can actually take it right over a luggage handle. Okay, when you're rolling your bag, you can slide it down over, which is really cool. It's got a nice interior spot for some chargers. It's got a whole bunch of stuff. Okay, so you definitely will want to snag one of these. These are all backpacks. Some of this I can show you. I can't show you what this is yet because you have to show up to see what this is, okay? We got a bunch of them, pretty freaking cool, but I can't show you what it is yet. I've been under strict orders not to or I would really. How about this? 8% nation lip balm, kind of neat, right? My lips are always chapped. So I've always got one of these in my pocket. Those are pretty sweet. I don't know why we have highlighters, but we do. So that's good. Maybe you use those. I don't, but some people do. I can show you this one. They moved the one box I wasn't supposed to, the other box I wasn't supposed to show you either. That's for ladies night. So Lauren got something special for ladies night this year that they took because they don't want me to show you. But this one's really cool. We talked about the 8% pop sockets. This is like, yeah, it's weird to have a phone and not have a pop socket nowadays. Very strange. If you're that person, you need to fix that. So this is sales room. We've added a bunch of new team members down here to the marketing team. So we've got a marketing team downstairs, training team upstairs. With the marketing team, we probably added some of them aren't even here, but we probably added six, eight, 10 people. Josh, how many people we added to the marketing team the last couple months? Six? Good. Seven. Maybe another one. Yeah. So we keep adding. We've got a room full of engineers in here. Okay.  Graphic designers and web guys here with fresh haircuts, SEO and copywriting in here, which is cool. Land and space in here. He's actually not in here at the moment, but he's probably walking around on the phone. His wife, Lindsey, is actually pulling in right now. So this is more of the marketing side. We've had to add suites. We're even thinking about reading an office behind us because of the amount of space that we're running out of. Andy runs down and then runs back up the stairs.  Little think big sign. Jeremy, you're good, bro. No, no, come on now. Come on. You got to show off your faux-hawk, bro. Everybody's scared of the camera, you know? I haven't even, I just moved into a new space for a lot of the coaching and consulting that I'm doing. Haven't even really designed my actual office yet, but I've moved in here. Steve and Leticia in there. Andy and Lauren in here. More operations and cells for CA back here. We're starting to really grow that team. We're adding people non-stop. Studio, you guys know the studio. You've seen the studio eight million times. Brett's reading a book upside down because he would do that on camera just for the fun of it. Obviously, you guys know the video guys. Brett is also IT doing everything. He's actually working on, well, he's actually ordering beginning programming for dummies right now. That's good, dude. That's good. I love it. Clean, clean, dude. Get the freaking work, man. Get to understanding programming. He's actually working on a new CA website, updating the 8% website, that's new CA cell system, a lot of other things. We're going to keep growing. The key that I want to stress right now is when something happens, when a problem or a challenge, I almost look forward to challenges and obstacles getting in our way now. The palms closes for an indefinite period of time. Who freaking cares? We'll go back to this title we had last year. Our attendees actually wanted it to be there anyway. We didn't even know it. But it's not my decision to make. It was everyone else's decision to make. That's one thing you got to remember is when you have an event, when you have a movement, when you're doing a conference, when you have an audience, it's more about them and what they want than really what you want. That's important. This is new 8% nation over Dallas backdrop. I was thinking about something this morning to wrap this up. I was thinking about something this morning on my drive in because right now, there's business owners and people in our industry, people outside of our industry that really aren't focused on expansion right now. They're not taking this whole thing seriously. I really believe right now with everything that's went on over the last few months in our world, in our industry, I really believe right now is the best opportunity for expansion. If you focus, if you get serious, if you decide to make it happen and do some big things, right now it's a great time to get attention. People are all lying. It's a great time to get new clients, new money, new revenue. It's a phenomenal time to get referrals, right? Right now is the best opportunity to make it happen. When it comes to 8%, I want to see you there AP Station 2020. We just signed, still didn't deliver the statler. Going back, same dates, unbelievable venue. We got some crazy secrets that you do not want to miss. So thank you for the commitment. Thank you for having a ticket and thank you for hanging out with us July 24th and 25th back in Dallas. Hey, if you love this video and you want to learn how to attract more customers immediately, all right? The next video is right here. It's for you. Click on there and I'll see you over there. In the insurance industry, if people can reach out to you through the business with you, it's a lay down sale. Yeah, I think if you really understand the concept, the concept of being famous, right? I live outside of


My time at the Ford School definitely informed the way that I communicate my scholarship and research with policymakers and practitioners and researchers. These types of donations are really important. I remember as a student I'm trying to make sure that I could stay afloat financially, especially in the summers for internships and things like that. So every amount that you are able to give is really valuable and will definitely provide a valuable opportunity for any of the students here at the Ford School.


Statistics and Excel. Poisson distribution formula and graph. Got data? Let's get stuck into it with statistics and Excel. You're not required to, but if you have access to one note, we're in the icon left hand side. One note presentation 1520 Poisson distribution formula and graph. We've also been uploading transcripts to one note. So if you go to the view tab, immersive reader tool could change the language if you so choose being able to then read or listen to the transcript in multiple different languages using the timestamp to tie in to the video presentation. One note desktop version here in prior presentations. We've been thinking about how to describe different data sets using both mathematical descriptions, such as the average or mean quartiles and the median and pictorial representations of data like the box and whiskers and the histogram. The histogram is what we usually visualize when thinking about the spread of data, which we can further describe by saying the histogram is skewed to the right or skewed to the left. For example, now we're thinking about families of curves that might be useful to represent different data sets. And if we can represent a data set with a curve that has a mathematical equation related to it, that would be great because it might give us more predictive power about whatever that data set is related to. So last time we looked at the easiest kind of curve or family of curves, the uniform distribution. Now we want to look at a little bit more complex one, this being the Poisson distribution. So it's not that complex, it's not like it's poison, and we're not poisoning you here. It's a Poisson distribution, the emphasis on the second bit there. So similar kind of concept here though, if we look at the data and we see that it's characteristic of a Poisson distribution, if we can get the formula, even though it's more complex of a formula, then again, that formula can give us predictive power. Now oftentimes, in a business setting, the Poisson distribution is related to like lying waiting situations, which can come up quite often in different kind of business settings. So it can also be something that could be distributed over space as well. We might look at an example like that in the future, such as how many potholes are in so many miles of road, might be an occurrence that happens to follow a Poisson distribution. And if we recognize that, then again, it might make us a little bit easier decision making. So let's first think about the conditions that would be present in order for a Poisson distribution to happen. So when we're thinking about the examples, we're thinking about real life examples that might have a distribution of occurrences similar to a Poisson distribution, in which case we can simulate those occurrences with the function and the curve. So an event can occur any number of times during a time period. So if we think about our classic lying waiting type of situation, we're trying to think about how many people might arrive in a certain interval of time. That's what we're usually thinking about. Now, obviously you would think practically there's an upper limit to it, but theoretically an infinite amount of people could arrive at any time interval in a lying waiting type of situation. So events occur independently. So we're not talking about events that are going to be dependent upon each other. They're going to be independent type of events. So the first event doesn't affect the second event. So for example, if you're talking about a card game, and you were to pull one card out of the deck, then and then pull a second card out of the deck, the second card odds would be dependent on the first card that was pulled out of the deck in some way, right? Because now there's 51 cards in the deck. But if you put the first card back in the deck, now you have two and you shuffle it, right? Now you have two events of pulling the second card, which are kind of independent. So we're talking here about a Poisson distribution where the events that are happening in a lying waiting situation, people coming into the line are independent. So the rate of occurrence is constant. That is the rate does not change based on time. So we're not going to have a rate change on the time. So if we're thinking about a lying waiting situation, we might be thinking about that situation during a certain interval of time such as rush hour, where like the rate is constant during a certain interval of time, or if it was a restaurant like lunch hour, or if it's a roller coaster, like in the morning or something when it's most busy or something like that, the probability of an event occurring is proportional to the length of time period. So that's what we're looking at here. We're trying to think about time frames and how many times an event is going to happen within a time frame, which we'll get into in more depth in a bit here. Here's the formula for it. Now note this is a kind of a complicated looking formula, but you don't want to be too intimidated by the formula because in Excel, what we want to do is basically use the functions in Excel. And what we really want to be able to understand is when would a Poisson distribution be applicable and how to use the function in Excel. And the idea would be similar to what we had with the uniform distribution, which is that even though the formula is complex, if I know what the formula is, I can plug the numbers in and get an approximation based on the curve that will be representative of the actual data in real life. Now to actually draw the formula, remember that you can always go into the insert tab, and you can go into the equations up top. And then you can go into your ink equation, and you can draw the formula out here. And so and so I think this is the easiest way to do it. If you want to kind of represent a formula, go boom, I'll just do this quickly because we've seen in the past. And then this equals lambda is kind of hard to do lambda. It's got it. See, I got it.  Any case, I won't draw the whole thing out, but you can you can plot it out this way as we've seen in a prior presentation, and we do do that in the Excel presentation if you want to check that out as well. But you can use that any Microsoft product will basically have a have that similar kind of a feature to actually draw a formula. So why is this here? I don't know what this is doing here. All right, other other things. Notice if I look at this formula, we've got we've got then the lambda to x times e to the negative lambda over x factorial. So let's take a look at some of those components of the formula just so we can get an idea of what's included in it. Now e is a constant, it's kind of similar to pi. So it's got that number that goes on forever. It's around 2.71828 and so on. So so that's going to be part of the formula, a factorial. What that means if I have, for example, five factorial, that would be like five times four, you know, times three times two. So if I put the calculator, what this would look like is five times four is 2020 times three is 63 times two is the 120. And that's the factorial. So that's what the exclamation is representing in the formula. And then we have the e in excel, how can we get to that e where you could type in that that but it's approximation. So if you can get much closer to what e actually is since since it goes on forever with the equals exp and then put a one here and that'll give you this number. So we can use that if we were to use the equation, although we won't be using it much, because we're going to focus on the excel function, which will do this for us. And then the factorial, if you wanted to do a formula, a function in excel for the factorial, it would be equals F A C T. So if I put in equals F A C T five, it would give us the 120. So we have those. So if I wanted to type this into excel in just a formula without using the function, we could do so using the factorial for the for the exclamation and the exp for e. Okay, so other items note that the mean when we think about the mean in prior presentations, we saw the mean often represented as a mu or sometimes an x bar. Here it's often represented with a lambda. So when we're talking about a Poisson distribution, you might see a mu, but you'll often see the lambda. Now remember that when you're typing these in, it can be kind of hard to find them sometimes. So if you're trying to represent this, you could put a u, but it's hard to find a lambda. But if to get a mu or a lambda, you're going to go into the symbols up top. And then notice these are in my my favorite symbols because I've been using them. If they're not up there for you, you can go to more symbols. And then you want to go to the Greek and Coptic. And I usually put this side to just plain normal text. But I think it'll work there as well. Anyways, we're going to go, we're on Greek and Coptic. And then you can find your lamb as it should look like this. And this once you find them, they'll be in the recently found areas and you can add them fairly easily. So the variance, the variance is sigma squared that we've seen in prior presentations, you could find the sigma there in the same Greek area. And then the squared is a subscript that we talked about in a prior presentation, if you need to do that for the poisson, the mean and the variance are equal. So so that's one of the characteristics of a poisson type distribution. So for example, if you were to generate your data, and you did your calculations of the variance, and it was somewhat equal to the mean of your data, that's one indication that hey, this might be be be following a poisson distribution, in which case I might be able to approximate the data with a formula, which has a function in Excel, which might give me predictive power about, you know, the what's going to happen in the future. Alright, so let me let's give it let's get some example of some data here to get an idea of what's going on. If I want to use this poisson function in Excel, then we just need that mean or the lambda mu or lambda. So we're going to say here it's five. And then the rows when I type in the rows in Excel, I'm going to put 70 rows. So then our data, if I if I plot this out, I'm going to say we have x on the left. And then we've got x of P, which is going to be our function on the right, which is going to be our poisson dot dist function. So, so we're just plotting it at this point in time, we'll take a look at more specific examples in the future. But again, usually oftentimes, you're looking at a line waiting situation, which would be something would look something like this, if it was a line waiting situation, you might say, whatever the time interval is, let's say it's a minute or something like that. We're saying what's the likelihood that four people will arrive within that time interval. So in this case, we have 17.55% likelihood that four people arrive within the time interval of a minute. What's the likelihood that five people arrive within the time interval of a minute. And then you can answer questions such as what's the likelihood that somewhere from one from zero up to six people arrive within the time interval of a minute. And that would be the sum of all of these 10.44 plus 14.62 plus 17.55. That's, that's kind of the idea of the outcomes that we'll get. But right now, let's just graph it. So up top here, notice, I have the sequence formula up top. So we'll do this in Excel, the sequence formula, when you actually just put the X's, I'm going to put X's from zero on down to 70. I could use that by just formula, copying the formula bar down or the auto fill down. But you can also use the sequence formula. And that's useful, because if I put a sequence formula in this cell, saying that I would like to have the number of rows be 70, plus one, because I want to start not at number one, but at zero. And then I'm going to say comma, comma, start at number zero, start at number zero. Then I can change this cell, and it will change my spill array over here, which is great. Now the arrays have pros and cons to them. We'll talk more about that in Excel, but that's a useful formula to know because it'll allow you to increase or decrease the number based on a data input formula. And then the Poisson distribution for each of these cells is going to be equal to poisson.dist. The X that we're picking up is going in the first case will be zero, then one, and so on. If you did a spill array, you can pick all of them up and let it spill out as we are doing here, comma, and then the mean, which is represented by lambda here is going to be five, and then comma, do we want it to be cumulative or not? Now this argument has to do with am I trying to add up everything up to a certain point, as we said with what's the likelihood between of one, zero to six people coming, or do we want just the likelihood of one individual spot like the likelihood of just zero, one, two, and so on. Here we're just going to put likelihood of each individual spot. So we're going to put a zero to represent that, which I believe would be false as well. You will go into that more in Excel if you want. And then if you want to look at that presentation, and then that gives us our data set, you can see that it that it tapers off towards the bottom. Now remember, when we looked at our requirements that in theory, it could go on forever, right? Because because you could have an infinite number of people come in in theory. But in practicality, it's going to generally taper off. And as we as we go, so if I want to approximate this, there's actually a tool within Excel, which will give us a random number generator, which will play with will practice with an Excel, which will give me a random number generation based on the mean, the mean number here. So in other words, similar to what we did with a dice ruling, where we said I would like to get a random number generation between one and six for every 1000 rolls of the die. You could say I would like a random number generation from Excel, but I would like it to be such that it follows a Poisson type distribution, meaning the data has a certain mean. And and the data, you know, follows these conditions, these conditions happen to be met, which often could happen in real life, right? If these conditions are met, and you know the mean, then you would think that data is going to give you a Poisson distribution. So there's an element of randomness here from these numbers that were generated from Excel, but they're representing also a randomness of a finite number of numbers, instead of like the infinite number of numbers that we think about like in theory. So so so then so this would be kind of like, as if I went with a stopwatch to my line waiting situation, and actually counted how many people show up, for example, in whatever interval I'm talking about, right? I went there and counted that 15 people showed up, and then 10 people showed up in the next time interval, three people showed up in the next time interval, and so on and so forth. So we might first actually pick up this data to look at it to see if it actually does approximate a Poisson distribution. So we're imagining we actually gathered this data from our line waiting. Now we're going to do our bends, we're going to count them and say how many of these numbers are 012? How many of these numbers represent zero people showing up in the time interval one person, two people, three people, and so on. And then this is a frequency distribution. In order to get that the frequency distribution formula in Excel is equals frequency brackets, the data array, which is all of these numbers, the actual data comma, and then the bends, which are all of these numbers. Now note that you might say, I don't why am I using a frequency? I could use a count if formula, meaning I could say count if you find in this data, this number one zero one two, but with this random number generator, the count if sometimes doesn't pick it up, because I think maybe some of these random numbers aren't exactly whole numbers sometimes. So you might try to make these numbers whole numbers, you could round them to be whole numbers. But I find that this frequency distribution picks up the proper numbers quite well. And you can tell because if you sum up all the numbers down here, it should sum up to 1000. Now remember that I only went up to 30. Like you it could be possible that one of these numbers are more than 30 people showed up, if that's the example we're looking at, because it because the upper limit is infinite. But it's unlikely that that's going to happen, given given given the characteristics of the Poisson distribution. So it's in theory possible, but it's likely that you're going to so there's no really upper limit. But in theory, there's going to be basically an upper limit for the most part, right? So then we can look at the relative frequency the relative frequency is any of these numbers divided by the total. So for this number 12, it's 12 divided by 1000. And that's going to be 1.2%. This is 14 divided by 1000. And that's 1.4. By the way, this 1000 down below is a check figure, because I generated 1000 numbers, I didn't I didn't paste them all here. So you don't see the end of it. But I generated 1000 numbers in Excel. And so they all showed up, I can tell in our boxes and our groups and our bends, because it adds up to 1000. Now this is the difference between the relative frequency we got in our example, and the Poisson distribution. So here in the Poisson for one, I got 3.37 for two 8.42. And here for one, I got point one and point one. And then for three, I got I got 1.2. And over here for three, I got 14.04. And and then 3.3 for five, and 17.55 over here, and so on. Now I don't think these are exactly tying out because I actually changed, I changed this one to to the lambda of five. And when it's because I was I was changing the data sets over here, whereas over here, I've got the data that was generated with a lambda of 10. So this difference column isn't isn't really helping us out right now. But if I changed in Excel, I'll change this to 10. And then and then I'll change the rows to match as well. And then when we look at this difference column, it should be a closer difference column. But in any case, if I was to plot these these two on the same graph, and again, they don't look the same at this point, because I use the different midpoint. But you could see the the the two distributions one one of them is generated from the data that we observed. And when we look at the data that is observed, you can still say, Well, that might follow a Poisson distribution, it looks kind of like it's following a Poisson distribution. It's got that characteristic look to it, meaning it's a little bit skewed to the right. But it's but close to bell, you know, bell shape depends, we'll talk more about the the the shape of the curve as you change as you change these numbers in our excel presentations, but it's got somewhat of a bell shape, but it's always going to be slightly skewed to the right. And so we see that and we can also as we'll see in future presentations, look at some other characteristics, such as is the data we're looking at following these criteria. And then we can also see whether or not with the data set, the the mean is equal to the variance or similar or close to and if that's the case, then we're going to say, Okay, maybe a Poisson distribution is relevant. And then we can actually do our Poisson distribution, which will give us predictions, predictive power into the future more so than taking past data, right? So in other words, if I looked at this data, and I said, I don't think this data conforms to any line, whether that be a uniform distribution, or a Poisson, or any other distribution we'll look at in the future, if that's the case, then it's going to be difficult for us to make predictive power into the future, because we're gonna have to use more complex modeling to do that. But if it does, many things do conform to some of these families of curves. And if it does, then that equation is going to be easier for us to make predictive power in the future. Now in Excel, we'll also graph these two things together. So you can see how to put these two items on the graph together, the one we did with the Poisson, and the one we did with the actual data. And again, the Poisson would be fairly close to the actual data. If we change the Poisson data here to be 10, and the number of rows to be equivalent, which was like 30, I think, or but at least, and then we would then we would come up with these two that would be somewhat on top of each other, which again would be another pretty clear indication that the data set would be approximated in a Poisson distribution. And then we can possibly use that to make predictive power. If it was a line waiting situation, possibly, you know, about how many people we need at certain time periods and so on and so forth.


Ladies and gentlemen, Salah, Mike, Abby, Lou, welcome to Raw Reviews. The raw stew, baby, baby, baby, I like it raw. I like that. That was good, huh? Yeah. We'll keep that up for any of these series we do. We did protein bars and it was terrible, but now we're doing energy drinks, which are the only two supplements I really use. I take creatinine monohydrate on the side, but these are the two fitness things I enjoy. And now we're going to give you a real, like it raw, energy drink, raw view, I won. So most of these are calorie free. A couple of them, we can find the calorie free or on the list, we're with calories. So we'll take that into account, but mostly we can't really give you a review on the energy, right? Because it's not going to hit us in time. We're just going to sip. So right now we're purely going to go on taste. I hope you enjoyed it. If you like these tier videos, be sure to subscribe. Leave below. What's your favorite energy drink of all time is be sure to follow Abby Lu on Instagram and we're going to dive in. We're also rigging them on the scale of trash, okay, solid, amazing and God too. I'll start with Jocco. It says zero crash. What is it? No sugar. No real, real energy, zero crash, 10 calorie, one carb. Yeah. Are we just going to sip it? Nice carbonation pop. That matters. We got orange on this guy, a little dole, not as carbonated as the pop. But not bad. There's a weird aftertaste. It's a little dole, right? It's kind of a flat like it is. It tastes like and it probably is, you ever bite, maybe I'm just a weird kid. You ever bite an orange peel? Yeah. It kind of tastes like that. Well, it's very bitter. Yeah. Kind of like that. But like not bitter, but kind of like this is very like that. Do you ever see Jar Jar Binks when he gets tongue electrocuted? No. When his tongue gets electrocuted, flopped out, he can't control it no more. That's what it feels like. It's very flat. The sugar, what is it? The sweetener? Yeah. Very like artificial sweetener taste. But not, some of those taste crazy sweet and this doesn't. Yeah. So like, I guess if you don't like a sweet drink, this might be it. Almost like in a tea range, right? It kind of has a tea. Because it's not super carbonated, which I don't really love super carbonated drinks. I'm the opposite. I love carbonated drinks. So it's not very carbonated and it's not very like super flavorful or like artificial flavor screaming. So solid for me, and there is a solid rating there. I don't know what you would put it, but I'd probably put it solid. I'd like a little bit sweeter. I'd like a little bit more carbonated. I'd like a little bit more caffeine, but I might sip on this and do some like creative work or some admin work. What do you think? I think it's solid. Yeah. Solid. Well then. I'm keeping it. Yeah, you can have it. I'll take it with me. So now we're trying the Rain Storm Clean Energy Peach Nectarine. Sounds good. I guess we'll dive into a couple of ingredients just because, right? It reminds me of Vellani. Three carbs. Yeah, the bottle is a little bit more natural looking, although their logo is very 1990s WWE. No high fructose corn syrup. No artificial flavors, it says. DHD formulated. I'm trying to look at caffeine on this, for sure. Damn. That's pretty good. I'd say 200 now is like the new standard, right? If a big ol' cup of coffee is a buck 40, why are you having an energy drink?  Ooh, papa! It smells very... That smells... Dude! Oh, wow. That low key hits. So I got a big pet peeve. I love fruit. I really like fruit. Me too. I love fruit.  Yeah. And they're nothing the same. Energy. That tastes like real peach. It doesn't really have that too much. No, I mean it says no artificial sweeteners, and now I do believe it. It's fairly bubbly, which I do like. The peach tastes real, 200 migs is really good. No weird beginning taste, no weird aftertaste. This thing kind of hits. It's kind of refreshing like that peach flavor.   Yeah, a little bit of color stuff, biotin, sodium citrate, all kind of normal stuff. There is just a lot of it, but that low key is good. You taking that for your workout? Maybe. That tastes like real peach. Yeah. That's really good. I like that flavor. That's really good. I might throw that at the top. What's our tears? Oh yeah. I thought I liked this. I might go God tier. I don't know if we have this. No, these two are new that we added to the list because they're new in stores. I'll put it on God tier too. That one tastes really good. Yes. We're going to old... Oh, this is a cola. I didn't mean to do that. We're going with old faithful Celsius. Celsius has been in the game a long, long time. I used to drink their original flavor. They only had one flavor, and it was like an orange or a citrus. I didn't mean to grab a cola, so here we go. I recently had another Celsius. I don't know what flavor, and I was highly disappointed. But back in the day, I swear it was delicious. Cola energy drinks a little weird. I didn't know it was around for that long. Yeah. Well, pretty long time. Because you're old and you've had it. I am old, and it was around during the Red Bull Monster Era, and I would say this was the first one that kind of marketed to health. Or flavors. Terrible. Now, see the issue when you go into the cola world is you're like making yourself fight Pepsi and Coke, which are two of the greatest things ever created in America. Yeah. So, like, why would you throw your hat in the ring? You know what I mean? Like, that's a mistake to even try cola. They tried. If you take coke and Pepsi out of it, that's an okay cola, sure. But it tastes like...  I think it's like the healthy version. It is. EG with EGCG, ginger and corn. EGGG. I don't know what it is, but... EGG is a chemical in green tea, I think. At first it does like... Oh, it tastes like... Good. It's definitely not bad. But then it starts to get into that, like, medicinal flavor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a robotussin deal. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's what hit me. Robotussin. I know you got me feelin' right here on your way. Can you do that blue screen where it has all the colors? That was C-Breezy? I have no idea what you're talking about. In the flesh. You don't know who C-Breezy is? No, I know, but, like, that wasn't it. You know that song. All right. We need to cleanse our palate. That cola... Oh, you didn't rank it. So Celsius? Oh. Have you had it? I have had it. And? I like it. Uh, better than that? I think it's solid. I would say it's solid. Yeah, okay. High-end, okay, low-key solid. So let's get our sugar out the way. You've probably never had a NOS. I haven't.   I was just discovering black coffee. This got 500, or sorry, 50 grams of carbs.  Right. Sometimes your body needs to, you need to know what your organs are working with. If you throw this in there and they can work, you know, sometimes you gotta rev the engine. That's how you rev your engine? Yeah, sometimes.  I've seen this when I was a kid. Oh, it's like a lime-green color, but I was a kid, so I couldn't take it. Gotta get it. I can feel it go all the way down, not bad, right? Stop. You don't feel your kidneys just, it's good, no, it's good. Man, he does not need any more energy. No, that's good. Well, it's full calories. Yep. That's not good. 210. That's gonna get me fat. It doesn't taste bad. What flavor is this? No, see, that's the beauty. Yep. That's the beauty of 1990s, early 2000s energy drinks. Yeah. Monster. Red Bull. Nause. Spike original is the flavor. What flavor? Original. Exactly. It tastes like fuel injector. Spike. Damn, Spike. We already know where that one sits. Breast and cheese. Top of God tier. Breast and cheese. Top of God tier. Time. Spike.  They're not dead. They're alive. But they're just hard to find. This is pretty amazing, I would say. The Nause? You think it's amazing? Dang. I think it's good too. I do. I'll put that on amazing. I'm down. We'll go back to, what's the flavor on this? I don't know. It's Red Bull. Yeah, that's what I would equate this to. Yeah. I'm like, what flavor is Red Bull? I don't know, but I like it. I like it. I like it. Fuel injector and battery acid mix. There's not a single natural thing about that. I love it. And I love it. The only negative on my boys at Red Bull, the original formula we got here. I even love like they haven't really changed the can in 30 years. I like it though. They're logos, iconic. They haven't had to rebrand. Tastes yummy. You know what you're getting. The only knock. Not that much caffeine. Yeah. And I feel like it's not that hard to change. I think there's God tier. I love this one. God tier. I love it. I'll throw it in there for the, for the nostalgia, the iconicness and the, in the, in the longevity of the game. Is the actual flavor or caffeine God tier to me? Probably not.  I love it. Slamming. Sure. There's a 16 oz. Slamming one of those on the Saturday after or the Wednesday after Call of Duty came out.  You know, we're living. I don't know it to that degree, but. Oh, we go way back. I'll buddy. I'll buddy. Okay. So we also got a new Red Bull on here. 41 grams of sugar. This is our only other sugared boy. And this is the Red Bull blueberry blue edition. There's a red edition, a silver edition. I guess it's their, their fruit things. But this one's really supposed to vitalize the body and mind. Yeah. The logo is still iconic. It is what it says. I don't really know what makes this different other than the can and flavor. I've never drank this before because when I want a Red Bull, I want a Red Bull like this. I just now that they're sugar freeze the new norm. That's all I drink. I assume similar caffeine. What are these? Like 100, 140, 114 milligrams. So very low. Yeah. Not it. It's like, it's fruity. But it's fake. It's blueberry. Is it fake? That's not, you take a handful of fresh blueberries, which I did. I took a handful of fresh blueberries straight to the dome. Just walking by the fridge. Yeah. And it tastes nothing like that. It doesn't taste like that. It doesn't even have that like typical blueberry artificial flavor. No, it's got its own. It has its own, which I still like that. No, it's not bad. I like the flavor. I'll throw it in a solid.    And you know, you got a grind ahead of you. You can snag one of those and sip on it. Another old faithful, which I've actually changed my opinion on multiple times.  You know Viva LaBam? No, but I know it. Viva LaBam is like a jackass type character at a show on MTV.  I don't like it either. Yeah. The arts kind of get me. What I did enjoy about when this first came out 20 years ago is that it had texture on the can. I thought that was a nice detail on the art direction. And obviously this was one of the very first, not very first, but early adapters to the low sugar deal. It's got six grams of sugar. I think the caffeine's low too. I think it's a buck 40. Yeah. Yeah, 140. This is a popular one. This is like the most popular. Right.  A lot of people used to compare that to a squirt or maybe a sprite type flavor. I actually think it's too flavorful now. Yes. It's not as good as you think. It's so sweet. And it's just not that good. I've never loved it. Yeah. And what flavor is that? It's not. I do enjoy that again. Right? What flavor? I don't know. I've always enjoyed that too. At least the white can. You know, kind of for babies. Because of that though, it's also too sweet. It is too sweet to be like what flavor is. And another one for me, which you may enjoy, but I don't. It doesn't have enough bubbies. It's too flat. Like too syrupy. I think that almost adds to the sweetness. Yeah. Because it coats your mouth. I think if it had more bubbles, it'd actually fix it. That's why like sprite is so good.  I don't know why this is so, it's so sweet, but it's also zero sugar. All right. What are our rankings? I'll probably say average. You know, that's like your average. Okay. I'd say okay. I would say okay to you. Yeah.  Monster energy. I would choose any of these maybe over this. I probably would too at this point. We'll go with the Elani. Elani's been out for a couple of years now. Multiple, multiple flavors. Again, the branding is a little bit more feminine perhaps. A little bit more homie, a little bit more healthy. A little bit more fun. Yeah. Where the typical energy drinks like this hardcore vibe for whatever reason. Yeah. And I just really like the look of the juicy peel or the juicy peach. Excuse me. It says peel. I don't know why. Like a sticker? Yeah, but it's not. It's supposed to be like a, yeah, but it's the cuteness of it. It is cute. I think it says vegan and all that nonsense. Three grams of carbs. Seed through. So now like weird flavoring. I think caffeine is fairly low on this guy too. Is there a reason why you pop it open and then twist the thing to the right? That's pretty good. I don't know. We had another peach, right? Oh, the rain. I, there's a peach soda back in the day that's slapped. I forgot what it is, but these peaches are going pretty good. So my dad had a friend. Wait, this is, this is more peach flavor, like natural peach flavor than this one. Say it again, say it again. This one? I think they're both pretty peachy actually. They are both peachy. But like good peachy, not bad peachy. Like when I bite into a peach, I taste more of this. Go, go, go. I think they're pretty neck and neck for me. You still? They're about the same to me. They don't taste the same, but they're both like naturally peachy. They're not like super artificial peachy. C4. Kind of a new to the game, right? C4 energy pre-workout has been a thing for a very long time. Used to be the go-to for the Jim Brass. Zero carb, carnation, beta power. This does make you a little itchy, which I don't mind. Beta alanine does have a little bit of endurance benefits for lifters and for the Jim. I went with the pink sharp burst. I think it's amazing how far some of these companies have come that they're doing collaborations with like big candies. I think it's cool. And they hit that flavoring right, right? Because they probably get some kind of recipe from them. So you kind of know what you're getting and it's pretty accurate because it's a legitimate. Oh, you can smell it. Peach does.  Starburst is pretty good. I'm gonna start with a minute. Starburst is pretty underrated. What's your favorite starburst flavor? Maybe the red guy. Mine's red. Pink's pretty good, but probably the red guy. Actually, that's not as good as I remember. It has this, um, Otterpop taste. That? Yeah, kind of that syrup. I feel like Otterpops are kind of syrupy like that. The beta alanine stuff does feel good. I used to drink these a little bit. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I would say it's solid on the list. It's a little bit better than okay in terms of taste, I think, you know? But for me, on the list, it's solid. What do you think? Bottom solid. Bottom solid, I'm down. It's better than the monster. Now caffeine drinks have gotten so complicated. I feel like each company has like 20 flavors. So you may enjoy a company, but only like one flavor. We're back in the day. If you like monster, you like monster. But now it's so intricate, which is cool. Moving on to one of my OG favorites. Rockstar? The Rockstar Pure Zero. Okay. I've never had Rockstar. So I like original Rockstar. It's more of this battery acid taste, which is delicious. It's got a golden white can, and that's very unflavorful, but very battery acid, which I love. It's like ombre. This one is a little bit newer, maybe in the last 10 years. It was one of the first boys to come hard. 240 megs of caffeine.  I also think Rockstar is a little bubblier, which is something I enjoy. That's C4's flatter than I remember. And again, just for me, and I understand some people are different, where they like pre-workout because they make it all dense and it doesn't feel their tummy. I drink like half of my pre-workout, or sorry, half an energy drink. Then I warm up and I sip the restaurant workout kind of, so it doesn't fill me up.  Pre-workout. Yeah. I'm small. Which I get it. It's got a little bit of color in there.  But we got tangerine mango guava strawberry. Have you had it? Yeah. I used to drink this every day. I've never seen this. It looks cool. It's good. I've never, you don't see Rockstar around that much. Gas station. It's definitely fake fruit. What the heck? Sorry. What? That bad? I'm so confused. There's a lot. There was so much going on. There's eight, there's eight fruits just in the title. Tangerine mango guava strawberry. Yeah. I like that. That's a lot. Yeah. And what does it taste like? None of those. Just tastes like fake fruit. It tastes like someone threw fruit at me. Yeah. Just tastes like face fruit. You ever, speaking of starburst or something, you ever grab or like skittles and you just grab and go, it tastes like that. It does. No. It's like. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It tastes like one of these boys? Yes. It tastes like that? It does because you're like, what flavor is that? I don't know. All of them. All fake fruits? All of them at once. But it's not bad. You think it's bad? Try it. I bet you'll like it. Sebastian. I think you'll like it. We need a third person. So confusing. I'm about to go to bed, dude. I'm dead. Am I dying?  It's not the guava science one. Very similar. Yeah. Science is a low key hitter. Yeah. The silver pure zero is like, again, another very fake, squirt, sprite taste. So this one's very much by flavor for me. Like I was talking about. That's kind of why I brought that up. This guava one I'm putting in the solid or amazing, but the other flavors I would put in okay. Like that silver one I think is okay. It tastes like this. I'm not drinking that. That silver one tastes just like this. Okay. I don't. With more caffeine. So now we're moving on to rain, which I feel like it's a crowd favorite. But I've never, it never really caught my attention. I purchased them. I've tried every flavor. And they never really screamed at me. I will say the rainbow sherbet is my favorite rain. Really? I don't know if I've had this one. That's why I grabbed it. So three car. I think we're up at the 200, 300 mugs of caffeine because this is kind of a meathead deal. B vitamins. Brands changed. Electricity. Increased concentration, but 300 mugs. So this one is kicking. That's crazy sweet. That just punched me in the mouth. You know what that tastes like? It is too sweet. Not as sweet in the way that the white monster. No, but it's starting to hit there. But it's, yeah, it's close. No, it just compared to other rain flavors.   Yeah. It's very artificial too. Very. It's like when you compare it to some of these other ones. Like you really taste a difference between like the baked sugars. Yeah. And then the whatever. This might hurt some folks, but I'm putting that in the okay. I think it's okay. You all got to drink these other ones. And when you're drinking it next to each other, everything is like, it stands out. Yeah, you can tell for sure. You can tell, but you're drinking it. What they need to do is have a spike and spike sponsors because I still, and obviously it's easy to say because it's in memory and not in physical, but I think spikes the best. I think I like the flavor. Taste, energy, everything. Yeah. Energy-wise it was a spike. Do you guys remember when I started drinking them here? Yeah. And I'm like, you guys got me hooked and I'm like cracked out. Yeah, you're welcome. Yeah. You're welcome for your success. It's very nostalgic. No. Well, then you took it away from me. Because everyone was buying them because people don't understand. Every person I had try mine or try one loved it. So maybe we'd have to like sample it like we're Costco to get people to buy them. Yeah. Which we could do. But we're not sponsored so we're not. But what do you want to sponsor me? Ghost Energy. I feel like is the newest cat on the block. They have a lot of collaborations with people. So they started in the supplement game. So they made these business connects. They're already doing successful. And then they made the energy drink. And now I feel like, right? They're the newest company out of these. Maybe Jocko. He might be, but they're in the same category newer. This is very commercial, very big brand. Probably find a Costco type ship now. Like they're crushing it. Shout out to them and Ryan who I've known for a long time. Very colorful cans. Branding's good. It's fun, but not fun. It's serious, but not serious. This one's a warhead collab, which isn't my favorite. I don't know what my favorite is. Oh, Cherry Limeade. Cherry Limeade is really good. Cherry Limeade Ghost. Absolute. Probably would be the God tier. God tier. Again, they have so many flavors though. So shout out to them for making the effort. There is probably a flavor you're going to like. I think another 250, 400 mix or 300 mix. Oh, 200. That's a little low. Carnitine Alpha GPC, which is one of my favorites. It's got 150 mix versus one of these guys only had 100. Neuro factor. I think it's made up. And so here we go. That's surprising. I would say it's cool that each of their flavors are different too. They don't all taste the same. Very different. Some brands will do that. They kind of all have the same flavor. Yeah, you could blind taste test every monster in Red Bull and probably know it's a monster in Red Bull. Even though you might like it, they do kind of taste alike. I'm not a warhead guy. I'm not a huge sour guy, but they do nail the taste. Whether you like it or not, they nail it. They do. Yeah. That's sour apple, candy, 1 billion percent. Yeah. Blind taste test, you could taste all the flavors. Yeah. It's also like creamsicle, orange creamsicle. Yeah. Unique and they nail their flavors. Again, whether you like them or not, that's up to you, but they do nail what they say they are. Yeah. Probably even better than the C4. I agree. In terms of nailing the flavor to general taste, they are a little bubblier, which I like. Mm-hmm. For me, ghost right now in the game is the best energy drink. I thought that ghost was too sweet, but drinking some of these, I realized it's not as sweet as I thought it was. Some of them are even worse. Yeah. Some are rain. I don't know what y'all are drinking or thinking, but I don't think rain's it. All right. We're putting ghost. Oh. Let's just do ghost because we know the other flavors. I'm going to put it in God's here as of right now. Ghost is God's here? I think so. What do you think? In my head? How about cherry-lemonade? Yeah. I'm putting it up there. Right. Where are you putting ghost? Well, we should go out here if it's cherry-lemonade. I did, but where were you putting it? It was cherry-lemonade. I'm putting it up here. Okay, how about this guy? It's not bad. I think it's solid. Solid. Yeah, this is probably my least favorite flavor. That's the thing. And it's still solid. Yeah. That's the thing with like, it depends on the flavor. Yeah. Because they do. They're so different, right? Yeah. You take a creamsicle versus this versus cherry-lemonade. Cherry-lemonade, a cold cherry-lemonade on a hot day. Oh, I'm excited. Slap or ruskies. Really good. We got to keep getting that one. Yeah, we will. Ladies and gentlemen, let me know if you enjoy this type of content. The cheer list for the meatheads, the raw reviews with Abbey Lou.
