Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Hello again, St. Lucia, and welcome to the program, Agriculture Honored the Move. My name, of course, is Philip Sidney, your host. Today, our program is very interesting. We're talking about sweetness. We're talking about honey production, honey show. We talk about the awards coming from a honey show. Lots about honey today in this episode.  Next to him, a young gentleman who is very interested in bees and is doing very well. That is Mr. Donson Stanley, who is our youngest beekeeper. I would say it's a Lucia today. Welcome gentlemen to the program. Matthias, why we back again another honey show, and of course we want to bigger power guy here, who has done so well. This honey show that you attended, tell us about it. What was it all about? Where was it held? And give us some background. We're here today to celebrate young Donson here. He won the medal of Ukraine at the UK national honey show. As part of our honey show in St. Lucia we always send the top entries, the best, the winning honey. The judges take them back to England and they enter them into the UK national honey show into the international categories. We were fortunate enough that young Donson submitted a fantastic jar of we call medium amber honey which he won in St. Lucia with and the same jar he won in St. Lucia went to the UK and it was entered into the international category and he won the beat out I think there was 38 other countries that entered that category and St. Lucia won the category. So we can now boast that we have this year the best honey in the world. Wow, wow, wow. And that stemmed from the honey show last year? That stemmed from the honey show last year. So how many entries we had from St. Lucia? I think there were probably about eight or nine entries. The second place was also St. Lucia. Young Jack Clark, Vincent Jack Clark from V4 He placed second in the same category and our organization I know the apiculture collective placed second in the category for entry from a charitable organization. Oh, wow, wow. St. Lucia was pride and joy at the honey show. Unfortunately there was none of us were there to be there in person. So hopefully at least now that we've got the win without being there at least we're going to defend it this year and hopefully through the ministry export St. Lucia hopefully we'll be able to some of us will be able to go there in person next year. And represent in person and hopefully bring back the bacon again. Wow, so who is Mr. Johnson? Tell us about yourself. Where are you from? I'm from Soufri and I'm from Diamond. So that's where we had some projects went wrong. We had mushroom project, we had beekeeping project so I was a little interested in the bees so while they start building the boxes I start asking them the questions about it to that white man named Scott so he introduced me to beekeeping so while I was working with him I worked like a couple of years, like one year then again the following year I'll say I'd like to try to start on my own and from there I end up getting one hive and from there I end up catching hives people calling me and get hives white hives. So I start putting them into boxes and from there I started working that from some of my boxes water into my boxes, I lose a couple of hives during that time but I do not give up from there I start back and then from there I catch a wildlife and that wildlife I catch it was a swarm that came into one of my boxes and from that it came to your box? Yeah, it came into my boxes and from that wildlife I start splitting it and that's when when I went to the food sunny show it was from the hotel I was making preparations but then again I was not really interested into it, but then again and Jasmine made me interested in the food sunny show which I went to the food sunny show which I ended up in the duck and bunny I came second in photography and I'm not sure but I think I get the next award again I get three awards in that year and the following year I say I'll have to step up Wow, wow, wow I'll have to step up the game, so You really step up Yeah, so I told my manager about it, he did not make a big fuss about it, but I say even when you don't make a fuss about it, then again I'll try to make a fuss about it I set my bottles home waiting for the show and then obviously they are successful How many hives do you have? Right now they have a total of 40 hives Wow, and in one location they are all spread out Exactly, in Diamond Ah, okay, and there are no houses around I mean, what they are Great, great, great, great So in terms of who taught you who really got you into it how did you get your training, who trained you? Right, Scott, I can say he put me like a starter then I met him from John Edward then once I go in the hive like this morning, I'll go to him throughout the day and ask him different questions like what I see, what I saw and then he'll give me like a little update when the next time when you go you have to do this you have to do that, so then again I take all these into considerations and I met with other beekeepers as well so that one will give you a certain thing that one will give you a different thing and now I take all his knowledge and I put it into consideration So the master beekeeper didn't give you any hand? So what's next for you? I mean, you have 30 hives right now So in terms of your marketing where do you sell your honey? Locals because a lot of people know me and they know I just produce good quality honey so then again I don't really have like a market so once I have it sometimes they will ask me like some 10 bottles, 5 bottles and I send something to them and they will have that amount to supply the honey So you're the only one in Sofra or are the others in Sofra? There are all the beekeepers in Sofra Okay, okay, okay So in terms of the I know there are various trees different varieties of trees what are the trees that you have within the area where you have your bees? They have oak plum they have cinnamon they have cashew they have red cedar, mahogany they have apricots they have five fingers they have mongoes So out of those which will you believe after your best honey? My best honey is a savonet Savonet? What do you say? No I agree with him 100% that's my favorite I don't think it really bloomed this year the savonet hasn't bloomed yet It's after the hurricane then again it was like the flowers didn't really bloom this year We're looking at climate change Where are we now with honey producers? I mean herring not enough honey on the market based on that there's supply and demand the cost a bit more now tell us about what's going on I think honey production is expanding there are a lot more beekeepers on the market however there's never enough what we need to look at is that you can't just look at honey as a sweetener honey is a medicinal product so it has more value than just putting sweetener in your tea or coffee or something like that as a flavoring in your food honey is medicine I really need to respect the product for what it really is I think more investment obviously to help apiculture grow the existing beekeepers fellas like Young Donaldson need support in the ways of buying more equipment more boxes, more frames, more foundation these are the things that existing beekeepers really need to push them forward to get more colonies it's not that we have the capacity the knowledge is there Young Donaldson has come from the blue and won a major award for the country so it's really we need to use as a catalyst to help solidify the existing beekeepers to give them what they need what additional resources they require so we can get more production going because obviously the price of wood has increased, the price of fuel has increased so any imports we have to get from North America or Europe costs significantly more and even if we have to try to produce it here there's still local costs that are going to impact the cost of production so I think it's very important that support your beekeeper support your local beekeepers the more you buy from them the more they're able to grow and the more they're able to provide you with a consistent product and it's very important this is a very challenging time for agriculture because there are moves in the region to liberalize the whole market and we really need to defend that and try to ensure that Caribbean OECS beekeeping is supported and stays 100% locally produced honey because we have something special in the Caribbean and we need to recognize that and I think I hope Young Donson winning this award serves as a catalyst not just for Saint Lucia but for all the other OECS islands as that we have a product a very special product that we need to protect our biodiversity and to protect our beekeepers because we can produce something that's first class and that can win that is recognizable across the globe and by Donson winning this award it has something new for Saint Lucia to market the Ministry of Tourism should embrace Donson and use that apiculture as a new avenue for marketing Saint Lucia so I'm really hoping that the powers of bee can see this opportunity invest in Donson invest in apiculture in Saint Lucia invest in the honey show because the honey show is a catalyst for all of this and I'm thankful for the support from the Minister and the Ministry of Agriculture Mr Prosper and Mr Phyllisier for their support because they've been behind us 100% Mr Romulus at Jeff he's been behind us from zero we'll do for a break stay tuned don't go away welcome to the world of OECS beekeepers where every journey begins with a single bee meet the dedicated individuals who bring the magic of honey to life each with their OECS tail to tell beekeeping is like a dance with nature and the honey show is our grand performance it's a journey of patience with rewards step into the tapestry of the OECS Honey Show where honey becomes artistry from every corner of the OECS honey is a canvas we beekeepers are loved every OECS beekeeper has a story to tell and every story is a thread in the tapestry of OECS beekeeping join us at the 2023 OECS Honey Show where beekeepers from across the OECS lead dreams into reality we invite you to taste the love and dedication that goes into every jar of honey we bring the bee's magic to life one hive at a time at the honey show we showcase the tapestry of flavours and colours woven from our hives from hive to heart an OECS journey beyond taste welcome back to the program culture on the move of course we have the master beekeeper Mathias also we have Mr. Donson standing with us here who is the youngest beekeeper on island so far but so far he looks very young he has done very very well he has brought us an award to St. Lucia again so do you want a medal or trophy give us some guidance it's a trophy the history the national honey show in London is 100 years this year so the honey show has been running for 100 years since 1923 so this year they celebrated 100 years of existence and about 10 or 15 years ago the beekeeping brothers of Ukraine is the apiculture group of Ukraine visited the national honey show and they were so impressed that they donated a number of medals and the medals obviously have run out and in commemoration of the conflict that's happening right now in the Ukraine they've created a special award which is a replica of these medals encased in glass glass replica of it and it has the year underneath it and it's name engraved on it so this is as an incommemoration of the Ukrainian obviously the conflict in Ukraine and the UK honey show wanted to celebrate that and they created this special award for the 100th anniversary so it's actually not only this is the 100th anniversary of the UK national honey show this is the first time they've had this category they've run this special category for the 100th year anniversary so not only has Johnson won at a very auspicious time to win it it marks many occasions many things for many persons at the same time so it's really a big win for Johnson and a big win for St. Lucia at the same time definitely moving forward what's your encouragement for young beekeepers like you who do not know about beekeeping what do you do to assist them and bring them into the food the only thing you see once I get in handy to harvest then again you'll see people willing to help you but then again you need the training following to get to that point so if I was going to do my hive inspections if they can come with me as well I can teach them the basics and then from there you can move forward but once you go on to harvest you can get the amount of people but apart from that apart from the training maybe you can come in here it's a bit costly to get a beginner in terms of material to start off with what's the basic cost for a starter I think before you spend money on buying equipment the first thing someone should do is do some training shadow and existing beekeeper for a little bit and then from there when you get your feet wet and you think you want to do this then start to spend some money because for you to get your first hive with your bees and the equipment and everything you need just to have the bees it's going to cost you somewhere between seven and eight hundred dollars so beekeeping is not a cheap business even if you manufacture it yourself you still have to buy the wood you still have to invest time to make the boxes so you want to budget somewhere between seven and eight hundred dollars for your first hive and from time you get the ball rolling you should be able to develop well but if you want to learn we have the online program at our website so you can sign up for the I&O the Jeff I&O apiculture beekeeping program online it costs you like 60 bucks 120 US dollars and you could eight week program for the paces that knowledge wise and refer to some practical classes for that small amount of money I know somebody is very happy I know he is smiling now and he is watching the program Giles Giles of course good for you you have done well in that business to fund that program over the years and you are still funding it so power to you moving forward and I heard it going to OECS now tell us about it this year we have through working with the Ministry of Agriculture we have been able to get permission to allow our brothers and sisters from OECS territories to join in with us in the competition this year so we have working with the secretary director general Dr. Jules he has helped us as well so they are facilitating for two members from each country to come down to the honey show and these persons will be the custodians of the entries from each country so at present we are looking we have got confirmed from St. Vincent the Grenadines Dominica St. Kitts and Nevis Antigua and Barbuda there should be some entries coming from Grenada as well so we are really trying to really rally around Donson's win making an OECS competition and I think it will help unify the beekeepers across the region because everybody is under a little pressure everybody is motivation and I think we could use Donson's win as a motivation for young people across the region because some of the problems we have in St. Lucia other islands have it as too and we need to motivate our young people and I think apiculture you can learn discipline consistency and if you win it for the long run you can create a product that can go anywhere in the world where is it going to be held in St. Lucia? in St. Lucia this year this year is going to be a wonderful event it's the 8th, 9th and 10th of December 9th and 10th 3 days so the first two days we are going to be in the Castries Town Hall and Constitution Park so we are going to have lots of booths people selling honey, arts and crafts and so forth in Constitution Park for the first two days and inside obviously in Town Hall itself in the auditorium we will have the actual entries that have entered into the competition on display for people to see and observe and maybe taste some samples and so forth on the final day the Sunday we are having a back at IJY Marina as part of the ARC celebrations so it's a great opportunity not only for our OECS visitors to see a little bit of the country see a little bit of St. Lucia at the same time so we will have a prize giving in our presentation at the Marina so we will have the morning this honey will be on display like last time you can mingle talk to beekeepers get a feel for it and then we will start our presentation probably just a little after lunch we will have the cocktail competition from St. Lucia Distillers this year we will have a lot of cocktails a lot of cocktails a lot of guys participating and the prize money is increased I think it's $1000 plus a prize hamper for first, second and third place from St. Lucia Distillers I think the cocktail competition is going to be amazing this year so you got to mix for those of you who don't know you got to make a cocktail that incorporates honey as part of the ingredients so I'm really looking forward to that I'm looking forward to the baked goods people that make their own cakes and stuff like that that's going to be a big show as well hopefully and of course our honey producers to see we will have guys from other islands will have our St. Lucia honey on display as well so this year you know the name of the game is we have to make the double header you have to become you have to win a home you have to win the OECS trophy now alright so it's really going to create that comradery and competitiveness amongst not just the St. Lucia beekeepers but across the OECS it's matnik politics matnik the guys from matnik we we have invited them I'm not sure we didn't get permission for them to enter bring the honey into our our space yet because they are part of the OECS but they're not quite part of the OECS so to speak because of the technicality it might not be possible but I will still speak to maybe powers of bee and I will ask if we can get an exemption for them as well because any honey that come in they have to return with the honey so it's not like the honey is going to be staying here so if we can get that matnik and brothers to actually participate I think it would be total but I know our brothers and sisters from OECS islands would definitely be participating and I think the invitation for the guys has been extended to visit and see maybe next year we can have them to enter the competition as well and be one Caribbean I think that's really what we need but to me I am looking at the actual marketing within the OECS I know the phytocentric activities are a bit rough but in terms of selling to the other islands can we do that? I know we cannot take it but can St. Lucia sell to Dominica? Yes we can so it's also a great opportunity you see one of the problems that I struggle with is that St. Lucia is the last bastion of hope Trinidad was the other bastion of hope where you were not allowed to bring any honey into these countries but from pressure from different pressures when people wanted to bring honey into Trinidad and well back and forth but the bottom line is that you've got a lot of OECS countries that import honey from North America this is not a good thing because you know what you're getting and then the honey is not the primary product for the producers in America the depollination services so they're really dumping the product on the market at a very cheap price where we beekeepers in the Caribbean are producing a quality a seasonal product that has medicinal value it's not heated it's not pasteurized it's not irradiated it's natural from the hive to the bottle to the housewife's death Where are judges coming from? Judges are coming from the UK from the same UK national honey show Sue Carter and Bill Williams they've had years of experience as judges for you to be a judge in the UK they've competed in at least 100 competitions and placed first, second or third so they really know what they're talking about because they've done the do already so we have two first class they've been with us for the last three years so this year will be their last year judging our competition and then we'll rotate and have two new judges coming from the UK as of 2024 so there's no bias and it's fully transparent so this is really I really always see us coming on board this year I think it's going to be a really great competition and I think it's a real sign for making St Lucia the epicenter of apiculture in the Caribbean and I think that's what we really want to have we've got young Dunstan when he's placing for us bringing the trophy home for us he'll be presenting his trophy they're bringing it down for him they're bringing the trophy down for him I wanted to display it here he hasn't received it yet so we'll have to do a special session when the judges come but they'll be bringing his trophy from the UK to St Lucia in December and we'll do a big presentation for him at the honey show on a Sunday I hopefully might win this one as well but yeah double warm here I'm hoping that Johansson it's going to be a great day for you receiving your award and also hopefully at this competition if you win again the OECS award double warm here because I already said it in the point funding came from Jeff Jeff finally came from Jeff Ministry of Agriculture OECS secretariat we have a lot of sponsors Republic Bank St Lucia Distillers Coxson Company Massey Stores of course Eka a lot a lot British High Commission Solution National Conservation Fund so we have a lot of sponsors I apologize if I haven't remembered everybody it means this activity is heavily sponsored yes it needs to be it needs to be and there's a lot of there's a lot of interest and I think honey one of the things that everybody has uniqueness and I think the more we can put efforts behind an activity of this and get younger beekeepers like Donson involved I think it's really good and I also want to commend Mrs. Tribescoff and the team down there for having a beekeeping program not many hotels go that direction once again you know our leader in the hospitality sector Mrs. Tribescoff we saw the need for that and look at that you look where you are today well gentlemen I want to thank you for being here welcome to be under the program and I wish you success Donson and you have won already so power to you and success for the upcoming event and I know you will put your best foot forward Matias again thank you again the master beekeeper I wish you success again thank you thank you for being the program and remember agriculture is our business eat fresh St. Lucia's Best I'm Philip Sidney goodbye


Nice. Oh, I gotta turn this off. I'm hearing myself. Oops. So, wait a second. I'm not sure if this is getting an echo sound or not. I'll wait for the chat to come to give us some feedback. It feels like I might be getting an echo. Oh, now I'm not. Oh, because I reloaded the page. So, that should be fine. Interesting. Interesting. Trying a new setup. And by the way, gang, this is Chichou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today is March 29th, 2020, and we're going to do a comic book reading and we're going to do it live. Okay. We've done one of these before, but we also recorded it. So, I never really, I think I uploaded the live stream version on Bichu, but I never uploaded a live stream version on YouTube, and we were recording it. So, we'll see how the camera handles the focusing part. I tried it a little earlier today and it was sort of getting blurry and stuff. So, we'll see how it goes. I might need an upgrade to the camera, so the camera can focus up close when we bring things up without constantly trying to focus on it, right? It becomes a little difficult. But as soon as we can get the setup sorted out and we'll do this test run to see how it works out, I might do an upgrade to the system. Well, I've been trying to do an upgrade to the system for a while, but I might do a higher end buy for the cameras and hopefully deal with that. Iron Smash. Hey, Chicho, have you ever played the Batman arcing game? It varied like a few minutes and it looked beautiful, by the way. Amazing looking to the Batman universe. Yeah, yeah, and I've seen some videos on it online and it's what Batman would be, right? It's not like punch, punch, punch. It's sneaking around and doing a little bit detective work and avoiding conflict, which is fantastic. Sound just cut out. Did it cut out?  Okay, awesome try. I had a little bit of issue with the sound earlier this morning trying to set everything up. And by the way, just so you know, the mic is set up right here, okay, right there. That's as close as I can get it without it being inside our space, okay. Haten. Haten net. What up, Chicho? How's it going? How's it going? Hope you guys are doing well on the Sunday morning, afternoon, evening. Monday morning, maybe? Okay, let me do a little intro for those of people that are going to be watching this video after it's been loaded on to another platform right now, being bitchy on YouTube, right? If you want to know what it is that I'm up to, where you can find information about what it is that I'm doing and what not, and for those of you watching live, of course as well, right? Patreon is where I'm loading everything on and sharing information and giving people the stream schedule and what not. Spiderman, how you doing? H, H, O, so sorry I'm late open. You're doing well, Spiderman. Thank you very much. So Patreon is a great place to keep up to date as to what we're up to, okay. And if you want to support this project, you can afford to support this project and what not. You can definitely, one of the best ways to support this project is through Patreon. And you don't have to support this project to be able to follow or post on Patreon. I don't make anything private, everything's public, okay. So I do share as much as I can, okay, as often as I can. And we are live streaming this on Twitch, so if you want to catch these live streams, Twitch is where you want to be at, okay. And I do announce these streams 30 minutes before we go live and everything else that we're uploading to Twitter, Gap, Mines, VK and Allo and all the links will be in the description of this video, okay. And for now, right now, we're uploading all of our everything we do on Bichute and almost everything we do on YouTube, okay. And pretty soon you're gonna have a on YouTube, there'll be a little join button as as soon as YouTube approves the little change I made. So you can also support this project by joining YouTube membership, okay. And we are in times of pandemics, so name of the game is flattening the curve. Flattening the curve. Don't overwhelm your healthcare systems. That way everyone that needs to be taken care of will be taken care of, okay. Aside from that, hello chat. And if you're going to be watching this on another platform, we are doing a comic book reading and we're gonna get the chat on Twitch to decide which one of these we're gonna look at, which one we're gonna read. And I will have the start of the reading, most likely in the description of the video or right below or sound is doing a little wack on us. Most likely in the description of the video, okay. And most likely in the title of the video when the comic book reading starts after we do a little salutations, talk to people and talk about what I have lined up here that we can read, okay. Let me take these down and see how everybody's doing on chat. Hello, hello. Are these comics from the Golden Age? We have atomic age is from the Golden Age. This one not dinosaurs is from the 60s. So I can give you the dates, okay. Actually what we can do is, what we can do is wait until another few minutes and then I'll run you through what these books are, right. But this one, the atomic age is from the Golden Age. The atomic age is 1952 I believe. I have all my notes here for them, right. So I'll take a look at the notes as we go through them. Hey Chachonians, hello Martin, how are you doing? And the reason we're having a little hiccup, a little delay with YouTube, authorizing our joint membership is because I changed the name from Chachonians to Chachonians. I had to confirm the spelling, all right. Good morning Chachon, Reno, Mike, how are you doing? Hope you guys are doing well. I hope the sound doesn't do more hiccups. There was a little hiccup action going on and hopefully this camera will be able to zoom. This is one of the true believers, this is what I was doing a test on. But none of these are glossy that we're going to read. So I think it's going to come out better. I did a test run on this as well, okay. I've been looking forward to reading these and this is the price guide from the 1960s. Felix, how are you doing? Nicky, Nicky, how's life? Nicky, Hickey, how's life? And this is a price tag that price guide that we bought on a recent comic book haul from the 1960s, right? Zarre, how's life brother? How's Cali doing? Cali in lockdown? That's going to be crazy, man. The older paper adds so much to the idea. Dragons, I love. I don't like the glossy. Like, I still love the comics, but I rather things be on the newsprint. That way you don't get the glare. And it's comic books. I don't need my comic books to be grade 10 in my collection. I just don't need it. I like reading the books. I like handling the books, right? Nicer, the better, of course, but the extra cost for glossy, adding glossy to the comic books, is putting a lot of people out of the game for buying comic books because the price tag goes up. Ridiculous, right? That's why I've been buying a lot of Altera comic books. Actually, I buy everything Altera comic books if I can get my hands on it, right? So my comics, comic shop where I have Mopolis and they're closed now until the lockdown's over, right? Or a suggested physical distancing is over. But I subscribe. I'm picking up, just so you know, I'm picking up everything valiant and everything Altera comic books because their comic books are 99 cents, $1.50. They're printed on newsprint and they're good stories, great art. What's the issue? Right? It's fantastic. Rob Rayfield art even holds up. Rod Dragons. You don't even notice the feet. And the pouches look so cool. Funny. My whole country went into lockdown for three weeks, which sucks, but is necessary to flatten the curve. Felix, I agree. Which country, by the way, Felix? And what Felix is mentioning is this thing right here. You want to flatten the curve. You want to flatten the curve. Do not overwhelm your healthcare system, the workers. They are family, friends, relatives, right? People would care about. Yeah, a basic story arc these days is like $50. Just not worth it. Yeah, it's crazy. It's very expensive, right? It is interesting to get comics of various countries for sure. I wish I read multiple languages. That way I could read multiple comics from different languages, different countries, right? I'm so excited for this stream. Just let me know. Gee, I'm doing some work right now, so I'll be here listening and lurking. Awesome, Spiderman.  By the way, this one we picked up, all of these books we picked up in comic book halls, except for this one. And this one, our love story, number 16, came with these love comics, okay? And it was a care package. Here, I'll show it here so you guys see it. It was a care package that someone sent our way that they went into sort of an antique place and saw these books and they went, okay, Chichou would appreciate these books. So he sent them to us. So huge thank you to Brian for sending these books our way, right? And we did a comic book haul when we got the package. We didn't know what was in it, so it was an amazing surprise opening these, right? And these two were in the same comic book haul, and actually these two were in the same comic book haul, and then this one was a different comic book haul. And we've done comic book haul videos for all of these, okay? They're limited stocks now in shopping cart, yeah, for sure, Martin.  Awesome, that's fantastic. They should have done that a while ago, right? They should have just announced that, look, students, don't worry about it. We'll sort things out after the storm passes over. Those are fantastic, fantastic, and huge thank you. And we bought, I believe, these two or these two was comic book haul. The funds, huge part of the funds were sent to us through by Nicholas, right? So he funded these ones as well. Plastic surgeons aren't too happy about this flattened trend. Funny. Always be making, hello, how are you doing? Welcome, welcome. Chicho, when is the next stream on COVID-19? I'm going to work in the ICU starting tomorrow night. I want to be sure I don't miss the stream so I can share my experience. Oh, wow. We're doing it April 1st. April 1st at 8.30 p.m. my time, PDT, West Coast, Canada, United States. Hello, Chicho. Hello, Eduardo, how are you doing? Oh, man, good luck. Yeah, seriously, Nate, take care, be careful. If your supervisors or the centralized government tells you to work without protection, I realize people need taking care of, but that is something that is unacceptable. You do not send people to war without protection, right? And after the storm blows over, I think we're going to see a serious, uh, because before the storm came in, there were mass protests all over the world. I think we're about to see those amplified after the storm blows over. Oh, man, good luck. Lots of discussion about COVID-19 and the Discord, if you want to share as well. Yeah, for sure. That's one thing as well, Nate. Our COVID-19 folder on our Discord page is very active. I've been sharing a favorite of info. There's discussion going around. Some of us are disagreeing. Some of us are agreeing, which is fantastic. You need to have the dialogue open, right? Because of the cancellation of my exams and the closure of schools, I have six months off of school before I go to college, which is great. Oh, nice, Felix. I hope you're going to continue to educate yourself, brother. Okay, you need to continue to stay up to date with things. Okay, thanks. I'm in Amsterdam, so I'll figure the time out. I'm a med student graduating to a doctor next year. Cool. Protective equipment should be good. Okay, awesome, Nate. And I know in the United States, I'm pretty sure it's the U.S., where they gave early graduation to the doctors at one of the medical facilities so they could go into the workforce right away. Okay, I've got some cool books to donate. Once this all blows over, and we don't overwhelm, yeah, for sure, Spider-Man. Thank you for the consideration. We'll do readings on them for sure, if we get them. Will I include some Spider-Man boy? Maybe. But by the way, when we're doing the reading, I'm going to turn off chat and I'm going to turn off notifications. So if there's people subscribing, following, and stuff like that, thank you for the subs, thank you for the follows. But once we start the reading, I'm going to strictly focus on reading the comic books. I don't want to take away from that experience. I'm going to try to make sure that the camera will be able to focus on things and whatnot. But again, we might need an upgrade to the system for us to do these live more frequently, which would be amazing to do. Just imagine if we did live comic book readings once a week or something, it would be awesome, right? It would be fantastic. I'm quitting caffeine cold turkey for the quarantine.  I had to rewatch it, really? So you were having caffeine with Drawl's Dragon? Thanks, I remember that. Okay, Nate. That's awesome. Yeah, quitting any addiction is an amazing thing, right? But it could be hard on the body, and the mind, and the soul, and your sanity. I'm definitely going to continue education. I'm planning to study biology, math, and economics at college. Awesome. Great triple combination, by the way. Yeah, I was dipping in and out, usually down six to seven cups a day. Whoa, not great dragons. That's crazy. That's a lot of caffeine, man. I know, for me, I keep my caffeine within a reason, right?  I could drink a lot of coffee in one day if allowed, and I usually sweeten it. So I maintain my addiction. I don't go ballistic conic. I can't do that. The body, it's not good for you, right? I meant also quitting the caffeine. Sorry to hear you had a hard time. You got this friend. I do a pot a day. You do a pot a day? Oh my God. Well, I shouldn't speak. I do a pot of tea a day, but my tea is, I'm not boiling the tea leaves, and I mix it up with ginger, mint, and different types of herbs and stuff. So it's not as sharp of a kick. My cider detox failed. You went 10 days, I think, more. And 10 days is pretty good, brother. Like, seriously, I don't believe in, well, some people can do, they can quit. Boom, instant, right? Weaning off is not a bad thing. 14 days. 14 days, brother. Oh, that's huge. That's huge. Full respect, right? I haven't had a drink since they shut down the bars in New York City. Nice dragon. That's good, isn't it? Little twitchy, maybe, but that's antsy. Are you pacing around? Are you like agitated and stuff? But, but I have been drinking it for 15 years. Yeah, Martin. Really, you do not want to drink every day. You need to take care of your liver and your kidneys. Okay. Just being around the healthcare system, people work in the healthcare system. I've heard some horror stories about kidney failure. Be careful. Take care of your kidneys, right? Stuck up on, okay, you should feel no rebound of thanks from quitting caffeine. Wow. The first time I'm able to catch a chicha live stream. Nice.  It's an experiment. We're doing a live comic book reading, right? We'll see how it goes. The camera might not hold up, but the focusing might be a little off. For some reason, how's the sound guy? Is the sound okay? Thanks to social distancing. I have no one to flip out on this. I watched your liqueur videos and I really enjoyed them. Is it about time to check in again? Check in on the liqueurs? As soon as I can give my hands on some fruit and go to the liquor store and get some more vodka, we'll do a refresh, but it's going to be a few weeks. In chicha we try. Not for me, but I was reading an article about people panicking. Oh, I bet, right? I'm just glad I got a hold of some cannabis before our lockdown. Yeah, you need to have a supply, right? Had an uncle who had to be in the dialysis near the end of his life due to kidney failure. Not a fun, not a fun experience. Spectral shot, yeah. I unfortunately have a friend going through this experience right now and he's not that old, right? And I consider him to be a brother. We hung around a long time. I learned pool from him.  Okay, it's good. Sound is tight. Sound is tight? Awesome. Okay. Good evening everyone. Scarlett Phoenix, how are you doing? Yeah, any drug really? There were huge lines outside of coffee shops and all of them after it and now I'm staying with close. Is micro in whisper mode? Is the mic in whisper mode? I don't know if I can set it. I don't know what that means, Martin.  Let me give you a lowdown of what we got lined up here. Okay. Now, this book here, okay. I'm going to read you what these are. I or our love story, okay. And I would usually do this during the reading and stuff, but I'll, what do you call it? We'll just do this and then when we start the reading, we're just going to read it. The price guide looks, yeah, the price guide looks phenomenal, right? I really wanted this. I bid really high on this, right? And we got it for like $12 or something like this. I mentioned the live stream. So this one, our love story is a gift package that was sent to us by Brian BP. Okay. I don't know if Brian's here. He will most likely because he loves our comic book streams and stuff like this. So he went into like an antique. So I'll read you what he sent me in an email. Quote, I found the, those in an antique mall I go to often. Once I saw them, I had to get them, right? And he sent them our way. Okay. And there is a whole bunch of these. Oops, let me show you this. There's a whole bunch of these. And they have the David Cassidy pinups and so this one, teenage love. Okay. The time for love. So that's teenage love number 88. This is time for love number 30. And here's the, here's a David Cassidy pinup on this one, right? And they're intact. They're in there. Okay. This one is time for love number 28. We have young love number 91. And we have young love number 93. You should get those graded. They're fantastic. They're pretty good. They're, they're high mid grade. Okay. So they would grade anywhere between seven to 8.5 or so. Okay. But from all of the, all of these, I decided to wanted to read this one. Okay. And I didn't know who, you know, who the artist for this was until I looked it up, until I went, okay, I really want to read this one because I think the cover is absolutely beautiful. I love this cover. What a phenomenal cover, right? Those look lovely, cheesy, amazing. And check out, check out who, who did this, right? Check this out. Let me read this to you. Okay. Stanley and Holly Rezikov is the story, right? So Stanley wrote the story. Art is by John Bushima and Alan Weiss. Okay. And John Bushima and Joe Sinot did the cover. Like these are all legends, right? I'm watching the screen, making sure I'm staying in focus, right? So fantastic. So we can read this if you guys want. I'm giving you guys all the choice, right? As to what we're going to read. So keep this in mind. If you want to read this, we can read this. Let me show you the other guys. Let me put this over here. This one. Oh yeah, that's awesome. All this use of love. Thank you very much. Comics, comics, star dream for the following. All of, all of this use of love is making me want to hug, but I don't have it, Daddy. Oh no. How much did those go? These were a gift. These were gifted to me, sent to me by someone that, Brian, that he loves our comic book readings and comic book calls and comic book discussions and whatnot. So he found these in an antique store and bought them up and sent them our way. So I'm not sure how much they cost. A lot of love. They cost a lot of love. This one. Alarming tales. Okay. Number six. This is the last issue of the series. Okay. Voting lovely story. Now this is by here. Let me grab the info instead of going by memory. Let me put this guy here. This one, this one. Alarming tales. Come over here. Alarming tales. Now this book is amazing. I showed this to you guys in the comic book haul. And the reason that it's a key book really, it's a key book because it's got the ant-man prototype in here. Okay. Now the people that worked on this, this is Harvey Publications, Thrill Avenue. Okay. It came out. Oh yeah. The love one came out in 1969. So this one's 1969. This one. Alarming tales. Number six. Okay. It's from 1958. Published in 1958. The cover is John Severn. Okay. And the inks is John Severn. And John Severn is huge. EC Comics. Think EC Comics. Right. Just one of the, one of the greats. Same level as Jack Kirby. Right. So Harvey Publications. Okay. The art is Ray Bailey. Fred Kidda. Paul Reiman. Al Williamson. Angelo Torres. And Al Williamson is the one that did the ant-man prototype story in this. Okay. And during the comic book haul that we had, I had to open it up. I opened it up and we took a look at some of the pages. Okay. It had flying saucers already in 1995. Exactly. And that's another key point of this. It's a flying saucer cover. So that makes it collectible. It's an ant-man prototype. That makes it usually collectible. And John Severn cover Al Williamson story. Like seriously. Amazing. Amazing. Right. So we can read this one as well. Let me show you this one. Four color. Four color. Oh yeah. How much did we pick? This one cost me, did I make a note here? Oh, I did make a note here. Let me show you. Let me tell you how much this one cost me. This one cost me 6.37 US. 8.50 Canadian. Which is an amazing deal. And it's great at good. Very good. Okay. This one. Dynasaurus. Now this one is, let me read you these things. This one is 1960. Published 1960. It's Dell four color. Number 1120. 1,120. Okay. It's based on a movie that came out during that period. And it's got a photo cover of the cast on the inside back page, I believe. Okay. Trust me, I am. America. America. Thank you for the follow. And the people who came up with the story is Eric Freeward and Robert Schaefer. And the art is by Jesse Marsh. Okay. So if you love dinosaurs, this is the one to go with, right? Dinosaurs? Dinosaurs, anyone? Look at that. Ah, dinosaurs. Ah, the dinosaurs are attacking. Right? Check this one out. The atomic age. The atomic age. Can't go wrong with, can't go wrong with dinosaurs. Can't go wrong with dinosaurs. Oh yeah. For this one, cost me 25 cents Canadian. 25 cents Canadian. I'm pretty sure anyway. How much did it cost me? Let me find the proper paper on it. Yeah. It cost me 25 cents Canadian. 19 cents US. Looks like an American Godzilla knockoff. Possibly. Possibly. But this probably came out before American Godzilla, right? So Japanese Godzilla knockoff maybe. Or American Godzilla was a knockoff of this. Check this one out. Check this one out. Let me tell you how much this one cost me. This one, I really want it. Right? This one is atomic age combat number one. Okay. Cost 937 US, 1250 Canadian. Okay. St. John's publication, which is hugely collectible. Jack Kirby. It could possibly be Jack Kirby in King. Possibly. Okay. But the art is by Dick Ayers. And Dick Ayers is huge, right? Dick Ayers is gigantic. One of the covers we did for Mermaid Publications is Dick Ayers, right? And there's a few different stories in this one, right? Like the atomic comics from that period. They cost a fair bit of coin. Okay. I hope you're doing well, Dolphin. Thank you very much. Atomic age combat 22 page one shot of staring at a button before pushing the button. A first dream to ever catch. Hope you are doing well in these restricted times. Love your car. Awesome. Trust me, I am in America. I am America. Thank you very much for the follow. Welcome to our live stream. And this one we picked up, I believe in the last comic book haul. And I wrote all the stuff down here. Graded at, oh yeah, atomic age. Oh, I forget what is graded. That's pretty low grade. I would say good, good plus, right? And the dinosaurs was probably good, good plus as well. Chichou, once it's okay to send some books to you, could you lend, let me know once all the craziness, for sure, Spiderman, for sure, Spiderman, for sure. And we'll definitely do readings. You've got to tell me which one to, you know, what you want read, right? This one, check this out. I've never seen this offered, right? And Grand Book Center, 659 Grand Street, Brooklyn, New York, right? And it's graded fine, right? So 6.0. Comics for collectors number two, comic priceless guide from 1966 to 1970. And this is one of the comic book Hannah, you're doing. This is a person that owns a comic book store in my town that I bought this from. He teaches a comic book class course at a college, right? And he knows his history inside out. And the best he could do is narrow this down from 1966 to 1970. 40 pages plus two extra pages of mail ordering. So it has the pages in there as well. And I looked at some of the, because he took some pictures of the inside, right? And when I got it, I looked at a couple pages, you should see the prices of amazing Spiderman, what they were going for, the early issues and stuff. And you could order it, because this isn't the price guide. This is an ordering catalog. So these guys had those comics in stock. Just imagine going back in time and ordering everything these guys had. A grading tutorial video would be so awesome. Spiderman, once I learn the lingo of the grading, will do one. For me, I just grade it according to what I think something is, right? Sometimes I'm way off, sometimes I'm bang on. So far over the last few years, I've been okay with the grading I've done on comics for my own personal collection. So, gang, what do you want to read? Okay. And we'll do our best. And keep in mind, this is an experiment with this camera. Hopefully, I can get it focused. So it's not blurry for you guys to read. Okay. So we'll see how it goes. But if it doesn't focus well enough, where it's too blurry, we'll continue reading. We'll keep this in mind. And once I do an upgrade, get a better camera system, we'll probably do comic book readings and live on a more regular basis. So they have some amazing grading books, too. Yeah, for sure. And there's amazing resources online for it. And videos as well. I want to read them all. Yeah, me too. Our love story. Our love story. So much. So we got two for our love story. We'll let some people either second or third that. Our love story. We got three. Our love story. Is that it? Is that what we're going with, gang? Our love story. Stan Lee written, right? John Bushima Art. I'm down with Bushima. Yeah, second. Love story it is. Love story it is. And by the way, we will at some point do readings for all of these, right? So for sure, we're going to do readings for all of these.  I should put these guys here. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to turn off this camera here because I have my computer set up here, right? We're recording through this guy, right? I got the mic set up here. Okay, I'm going to turn off the chat that's here and I'm going to turn off where we're going. Notifications that appear here. Okay, because I just want the comic book reading to be the comic book reading. Okay, wish the dinosaurs were in there. Love me some dinosaurs. I got it for 25 dinosaur comic book. Amazing dinosaurs. We will do it at some point. Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. We will do it at some point. For sure, I want to read the dinosaur book, right? I love dinosaurs. Like just the whole thing about dinosaurs. It's crazy exciting to me, right? Should we do?  And I'm going to have the chat go in here but I'm going to try not to look at the screen when I'm doing the reading because I'll get distracted and just to let you know, gang, I said this during my first live, first video we put out for comic books. I mentioned that I'm a not, I'm not a good reader, right? In school I would, if we had to read out loud, I would shake like it's one of the biggest obstacles I've had in my life and I never thought that I would ever do recorded readings of things, let alone live-stream readings of things, right? And for me it has been amazing to break through that barrier and realize that you just do the best you can with the abilities you have, you practice and slowly over time you get better and you get better and you get better, right?  And as Martin says, fear is the mind-killer. Eliminate all your fears. Ex, how are you doing? Naiti Chouhopas, James, David, Sutton, welcome, welcome. Connor Higgs, that's so great. Well then, I just have to break it. Like after reading Dune, Dune is an enlightening book. It's one of the greatest books ever written. Read it, it will empower you, right? Fear is the mind-killer. King, Lurkey, how are you doing? Welcome, welcome. Welcome, welcome. So how far are we into this? Oh, we're about 40 minutes into this, right? Let's do a reading. I'm going to turn off chat gang. I'm going to try not to look at the chat. Okay. And let me go up here. Let's turn this guy off. I'm going to turn off notifications and we have the thing going. So I'm going to do a quick where is my notes for this? I'm going to do a quick intro to this, but I won't go into the details of everything. And the odds are we're just going to read this thing right off the bat. We're going to read this thing right off the bat. So we're not going to flip through it. We're just going to start reading. And we're going to read until I can't read anymore. And then if we haven't finished it, I will slow chat down as well. Awesome, Martin. Thank you. But we will get to the end and see the back and whatnot as well. The fine print I'm going to read, but the camera is not going to focus on it, unfortunately. Okay. Aside from that, seeing a bit gang, let me turn off my this guy. So we're just to make a note for myself. We're about 40 minutes in, right? 41 minutes in. Right. So hi everyone. Welcome to our channel.  So if you want to catch these live streams, watch the Twitch stream is where you want to be at, right? And we do upload these videos on YouTube and Bitshoot. And if you want to follow this work, Patreon is a great place to keep track of. You can just follow without committing any funds. But if you do have the funds and if you do want to support this work, Patreon is a great place to be, because I do announce our live stream schedule on there. And I do announce the videos and all the other things that we're doing on the back end as well, aside from these videos on Patreon, right? And you can take a look at the content there to see what this work is all about. And I do announce these live streams on Twitter, Mines, Gaps, VK, as well as Elo 30 minutes before we go live. Okay. And I do announce any videos and different types of contents on these platforms as well, right? And we are loading this video on YouTube and Bitshoot. So if you can't make the live streams, YouTube and Bitshoot for now is where you can watch these live streams. Most of the videos being loaded on YouTube and all of them being loaded on Bitshoot. And since we are in interesting times, this is March 29, 2020, the name of the game is to flatten the curve, right? Don't overwhelm your healthcare systems and make sure the people that need to be taken care of can be taken care of, care of, right? With the healthcare workers staying in good health. Okay. Aside from that, let's do a little comic book reading. And what we did was we're about 40 minutes into the stream and we had a little discussion on Twitch because I offered five different readings that we could do today. And the majority of the votes were basically almost all the votes, except one for the dinosaur comic was our love story, number 16. Okay. So the Twitch chat has decided this is what we're going to read today. And let me take down the Patreon page.  This is Marvel Comics, right? And the writer for this book is Stanley and Holly Renzi Koff. Okay. The artwork, inside artwork, is by John Bushima and Alan Wise. And the cover of this is done by John Bushima and Joe Sinot. Right? These are huge. These are some of the main players, the people who created a lot of the comic books that we all love. Okay. And this comic was published in April, 1972. And it was a bi-monthly series. Okay. And it's got a, it's an anthology. It's got a few different stories in there. And what we're going to do is we're just going to crack it open and have a read through it. And just so you know, this was a gift package that was sent to us along with a handful of other romance comics from the Silver Age, Bronze Age of comics. And thank you, Brian, for sending us these comics so we could have a read through them. Okay. And this thing, we'll crack this open. I would grade this thing. I've taken a look at it before. I haven't read it. I read like one or two pages just to do a test run with the camera that we have set up right now, the live stream. So hopefully the camera will be able to focus in well enough for us to do the reading. If not, what I'll try to do is get my hands on a better camera system so we can do regular live stream readings on Twitch and then load these live streams on Bichute and YouTube and whatever other platform that we're going to load these on. Right. These bags and boards were interesting. These bags came with this type of plastic backboard to them, which was really neat. I've never seen this before. So it keeps it nice and solid, but I added the cardboard acid free board as well so it can absorb some of the acidity from the comic. That way the comics don't turn brown or it takes a little bit longer for them to keep some better preserved. Right. So if you look at this thing, this thing I would have graded at in 8.5, 7.5, 7.5 to 8.5 I would say. There are creases along the spine, but they're not huge. Let me see if I can get a little bit of reflection going here, which is hard to do. You can sort of see the reflection, but the creases aren't huge. Right. You have to get a serious reflection going. And this cover is absolutely beautiful. Okay. Our love story, Marvel Comics group, all new. Right. And definitely it has the comic code approved symbol on it. Right. 20 Cent. It came out in April, 1972, as we stayed in this number 16. Right. And look at this thing. How beautiful. How beautiful. This would make an amazing large poster. Right. Absolutely beautiful. Featuring a tail, featuring a tail to tear your heart, heart, heart strings. My song and my sorrow. Beautiful. Lots of, lots of, from that era. Right. 60s, 70s. I personally don't like the word hippie, but there's a lot of hippie action going on. Right. Beatnik. Is that, is that a word? I don't know. On the back cover. Do you need extra money? It costs you nothing to try. $100. $100 is yours. What is this thing? $100. For selling only 100 boxes of our new safari set, all occasions, assortments. You make $1 for selling one box, $2 for two boxes, $10 for 10 boxes, etc. I wonder how much the boxes were going for. You can make a few dollars or hundreds of dollars. All you need to do is call on neighbors, friends. So basically am way for these boxes and I think they're just boxes. Ah, check this out. Check this, the terminology. Right. New. I don't think you'll be able to read this, but it says for this box, new. Flowers in the round, in the round, all occasion assortment. 18 really deluxe large round cards. Excitingly different. Right. Check out this one. Right here. New. Lovely everyday gift wrapping. Assortment. 14 gay, colorful, large sheets. Terrific. Right. The safari sets. Stationery. Cool. So let's take a look at this thing. Seriously, I'm in love with this cover. I don't know what it is, but it is beautiful. Look at this. Absolutely in love with this cover. And the text. Beautiful. Bubbly, red. Lots of tears in these romance comics. Fantastic. Fantastic. Now, because the camera is very, I'm not sure if we'll be able to focus too well on this. We might skip a lot of the advertisements we would have read in these comics when we're doing the recording versions of these, but I do want to read the fine print here. My apologies because you guys won't be able to read this because it's going to have a hard time focusing on it, but we've been reading all of them and we're not going to stop now. Right. Our love story is published in magazine management, is published by magazine management company incorporated, office of publications, 625 Madison Avenue, New York, New York, 10022 published by monthly

this says John Bushima and Joe Sinot did the illustrations but on CGC I believe it said John Bushima and Alan Wise and the cover is John Bushima and Joe Sinot so there's a lot of discrepancy some discrepancy anyway between who worked on certain comics especially in the Silver Age but huge in the Golden Age there's a lot of comic books that we don't know who some of these creators were that put those comics together right and people take a guess on who they might have been let's see if we can get this thing focused there we go so let me read this part to you first oh the focus is out he's

tonight and don't forget rehearsal in the morning if she ever kisses me like that again i won't be able to hold back oh she's all sad a little bit of tears i've been so busy with my career i haven't really noticed bruce in all these years i've only thought of him as a manager never as a man and now with a simple kiss i can't stand the thought of going out with someone else no i mustn't let myself think that way there's no time for romance in my life only for my singing and i'll date a different man every night to keep it that way oh and she is look at that look at that there it is brucey boy you stand you stand here and eat your heart out while the chick you love splits with some dumb football jock you're some manager baby great with rock careers but a complete bust at managing your own life but i guess that's how it has to be she's queen of the blues and you're her rich lonely manager my date that night was a drag but i knew but the news bruce brought the next morning wow here it is honey the culmination of all your dreams this little piece of paper is a recording contract for a paltry few million oh bruce it's fantastic i can't believe it she says well you'd better because it's true and so is this i love you step tiffani and now i can say it oh look at kiss now that we have have it made there's nothing to hold me back i want to marry you and stop bruce before it's too late i love you too but my career has to come first i know we don't have any financial worries now but there's more to it than that she says just being rich and famous isn't enough bruce i have to be the best and the world has to recognize it i see i'm sorry i could have been cool it could have been cool between us he's gone i let the man i love just walk away but it'll be worth it it has to be and now ladies and gentlemen the hollywood bull bull is proud to present the newly acclaimed queen of the blues miss tiffani tinsley listen to them tiffani that sound is what you've given up everything for enjoy it live for it perform for it it's the only thing you have left she thinks it's no use i'm singing better than ever maybe because i feel the lyrics as i've never felt before but it's not enough not without bruce as soon as the show's over i'll get it together with them i'll get together with them but when my performance ended and after countless encore's bruce i why isn't he here he always waits for me after the show wait a note it must be from him oh no he's he's left quit as my manager and gone away he didn't want to stand and the way of my career sacrificed everything to give me what i thought i wanted and now all i have is a career which will be empty without him that was all two years ago and i haven't seen bruce since but every night when i go out on the stage i'm singing to him and i pray that one night he'll hear me oh this is a sad ending oh no and this is the last story we ended with a sad ending i thought all of these marvel long romances were gonna be

was my first cheat show experience wasn't martin nice do you remember which comic which reading was the carnage no i think that was vex he said carnage was the first one for some reason the first appearance of carnage amazing spine amount 361 and two and three i think we did just 361 was the first experience of a lot of people for that are that have seen these comic books right let me take these down so gang tomorrow two o'clock we do another reading one of these guys right and i'll be happy to look at the price the catalog as well just to see what prices things are going at but we have somebody that like dinosaurs the dinosaurs could be it venom batman nice that's uh what do you call it legends of dark night the venom story part one yeah that was a fantastic read number is it number six or number 16 i forget and i think it's number six six to ten what and that was a story that kicked into baying right that i love those those five reads though that's one of the greatest batman stories ever told in my opinion especially when it was struggling to lift up the rock when the water was rising trying to save the girl oof heart wrenching heart wrenching right amazing read amazing read batman legends of dark night is one of the greatest batman series ever highly highly underrated right do you read any modern comics for sure yeah we've read some modern comics we've read some valiant comics fall of bloodshot fall of harbinger i've read no we've read fall of harbinger i don't think we've read fall of bloodshot and we've read some other ones as well but i try not to read too many newer comics unless i really think they're they're underrated they're not being read a lot because they might be alternative or whatnot right so we might do readings of newer comics as sort of a promo for the artists the the the companies the independents the creators of the book right and the weird thing is i did one reading of a comic that i like an independent comic that i like and i've never gotten any copyright and notices any any any creators contacting me saying please don't do this because it's from love that i'm doing this but one independent publisher that we read from they actually contacted me and said you know i didn't do the right thing if i could take the video down or they demanded that i take the video done i was like dude like people contact me saying they love the comic they're buying the comic because we did the reading of it it's like a promo marketing and they said no this is if you only read a page it would have been okay you can't read the whole thing as you have other comments and i stopped arguing with when i took it down right which was really unfortunate and i won't buy anything from them again ever right and that was a i was actually gonna buy their comics that was actually a comic book that a friend of mine loaned out to me because i i said oh this is a great comic book i've never heard about it you know i want to do a reading of it so expose it expose the comic to more people and i won't read anything from them again i'm sorry and i won't buy anything from them again and there were artists from toronto and the writer was from new york and it was actually the artists from toronto that contacted me strangely i was looking for batman the cult that night in june 2016 really awesome we actually have batman the cult lined up to read i just haven't read it yet with rights and right i think it's rights and i'm pretty sure it's rights and how old were you when uh when you picked up your first comic oh i would have been a kid i would have been a kid like uh i put out a video if you do chicho tintin uh when we came here from iran the first calm they i had i had a bunch of comics and there was only a limited number of things we could bring with us from iran because we were flying all around the world and i brought my tintin collection and uh because i read those multiple times when i was a kid and you and i was reading comics before i could read right i was looking at the picture so those tintin comics are from that period uh and they were fantastic censoring you for censoring you for giving their comic free promotion makes so little sense as practically a comic because it's ridiculous right see what i did there how can i see what you did there cool you yes please do this yeah i want to do the batman uh the cult after we did do these we're gonna go back to reading set number four and start reading some of those comics i really want to read batman the cult is a fantastic series fantastic series what

really good there's a few there's a lot of them a history of violence is a fantastic movie and a fantastic comic book the comic book is more brutal than the than the movie but the movie i really liked as well right i like the watchman i thought the watchman was fantastic really i thought it was a great uh great movie you know it doesn't matter that i won't give any spoilers but anyone that doesn't

It's a full update. You will have to let it install. It will probably restart and then you should be good to go. A way to check to make sure you've got the update is if you go into a meeting, you will now have this red end button here where it used to say leave meeting. It now just says end and you would end your meeting. So that's another way to know that you have the 5.0 version. Get your Zoom updated.
