Thunder E here and today we're looking at the best wireless buds for the year. I've broken them down into categories in price. I know there were tons this year. I didn't review all of them but these are the ones that I covered that I really do like. And our categories this time are going to be $50, $100, sub 200 and above $300. So let's kick it off with the very first pair of headphones at sub 50. I'm talking about the Phil T1X. Now the T1X are an interesting pair of headphones retail for $49.99 originally was priced at $79 they come in at a really good affordable price. Has a thick-ish black case USB Type-C though so you've got fast charging on here. You do have a device that also fits really well. Has a nice fit so your noise isolation is really really good. High fire stereo on there, one-step pairing. You've also got a DSP for noise cancelling which is okay but the isolation I think works out really well. In terms of audio quality it's it's good. It's really good especially when you're paying $49.99. You really can't go wrong with these pair because they sound good. The highs don't hit as much. The lows are not too deep but they sound good enough that look I mean you're getting your money's worth out of the Phil T1X and definitely worth it at $50 and that's why it's the only pair I have in the $50 category. So moving over to $100 category starting off with the one more stylish true wireless $69 now. I really love these pair headphones when I review them. They've got fast charging three hours of give you sorry 15 minutes to give you three hours of battery life, 25 hours total, lightweight of 52 grams. The sound quality is really good. It's got Bluetooth 5.0 aptX from Qualcomm. Audio quality is really priced almost at a $200 pair of headsets. I do like it. I'd like the functionality. I think a lot of people also comes in multiple colors so if you want it in green, pink, gold or black you can get it in those colors that fit you best. So next up are the MIFO 05 Plus. Now the MIFO 05 Plus retail for $79 and if you remember I cover the MIFO 05. This has a hundred hour battery life which is truly amazing. Most out of any of the headphones here. Six hours which each earpiece. Now they look very similar to the MIFO 05 in terms of the case and also the look of the earbuds themselves. You've got aptX built into this. You've also got Bluetooth 5.0. So you've got a lot of functionality in there. 2600 mAh battery so you can literally charge other devices. The downside is that it uses micro USB and a USB type-C but with the battery life in here I've yet to drain this thing. Seriously it's been hard. So I truly like it. Now you're thinking audio quality. Audio quality is good. It sounds really nice. The highs don't go too much but the mids and the lows are really balanced and come out really well. I like what they've done here and I also like the extra functionality as well and again 79 bucks. Can't go wrong with that but it might go up to 89 dollars soon so you might want to pick it up. Now finally our last pair of true wireless buds in the sub hundred dollar category are the Soundcore Liberty Air 2. I really like these pair of headphones. Besides the audio quality you've got a case and design just kind of similar to the original AirPods but of course it has tips so they fit in well. You've got great battery life at about 28 hours. It's got wireless charging built in so you now have that feature here under $100 for microphones. The microphone on this thing is really really good. I like it and I think they've done a fantastic job here. They've also got the here ID app so you can actually map out your hearing and change the EQs. Those also add a whole new element to the listening quality of these pair of headphones and in terms of the audio quality they're good. They are really good. I think Soundcore has done a really good job here in just adding so many features and giving you the sound quality you're looking for at just 99 dollars. So moving over to the sub hundred dollar category this is where we have a bunch of true wireless buds. Signed off with one of the biggest ones this year. I'm talking about the Samsung Galaxy Buds. The Galaxy Buds probably have one of these smallest cases out here out of all the pair of headphones. It brings a ton of features. They of course is wireless charging on here which is nice. Again really nice fit. Probably one of the best fits out of all of them so the noise isolation is really good. You've got a good battery life on there about six hours or so. Gives you of course up to up to 24 hours of battery life in here. Bluetooth 5.0 as well works with Android iOS devices. It's got that quick connect especially with a Samsung device just like that and the application gives you some versatility. The microphone as we all know is not the best but it's still a really solid pair at a hundred and twelve nineteen ish dollars. So our next pair are the Amazon Echo Buds. Now surprisingly this one has micro USB charging as opposed to most of the headphones here and it also has a larger case but what I like with the Echo Buds is the fit is really good. The noise reduction as they call it. It's not noise cancellation but I made mistake of calling it noise cancellation. It is solid. I like it a lot and I think also the other quality is good. There's maybe a smaller soundstage than I would like but I think you really get some good audio production. The main the main sweetness with these pair headphones is the fact of Alexa is built in and they hands free nature plus the ability to use multiple voice assistance with Alexa and say Google Assistant at the same time. It's truly amazing. I think it works out really well for these pair headphones and I think a lot of people will like that. So that's something to take note now. Of course battery life is also pretty good as well. You're getting at least 20 files of battery life and I think Amazon's on the right track. Next up are one of my favorite entries again from Soundcore at $150. Are the Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro. The Liberty 2 Pro come in a stylish place. That kind of slides out. You can slide it back out open. You've got wireless charging built into this as well. You've got the here ID of you know functionality which maps out your hearing and you can balance it out with all the different EQ's for microphones. So of course some really good microphones on this eight hour playback time on the earphones themselves. And then of course you've got at least 10 minutes to give you about an hour or so. You've got about 36 hours of battery life as well. So a lot of battery life a lot of functionality and the other quality is really good. Soundcore came out swinging and 150. This is your go to that you can pick up and use any day of the week. So our next pair are for the Sports Minded and the Jaybird Vista are truly unique sports geared headphones. They're called Earth Proof so they're fully waterproof IP67. The construction is also geared that way so everything is actually built internally to be waterproof. They've also got USB type C nice travel case with a hand slingy also to speak so you can actually wrap it somewhere if you need to. You've also got a really robust application that allows you customize the sound. These I use quite a bit to work out and they give you some really rich sound. 32 hours of battery life six hours with each ear earbud themselves and the other quality is good. Now it's not the best but I like the way the EQs work and they do a lot of balancing for you. I think the audio is a little bit tinny on the high side but the overall usage for this especially with fitness I think goes along the way and Jaybird Vista might actually do that for you at $179. Next up for premium audio and also sports and fitness. Look no further than master dynamics MW07 go. Yes. First of all, you've got this really smooth and nice case fabric material USB type C in the back opens up comes in three colors of blue or red and a white in terms of build. This thing is durable. It has TR90 composites. It also has fit wings so you can actually use those if you need to fit into your ears. We'll of course work while you're swimming up to 100 feet. It's built to last long battery life of about 10 hours per ear per ear per earbud use and as well as 40 hours in total. So this is like the second longest battery life after the MIFO05 plus in terms of audio quality. Mass dynamic does not mess around. It sounds really, really good. Very smooth. I like the highs and the lows. It is so robust. I mean, this might be my go to fitness and also just listening pair of true wireless earbuds. I like them. The only two features it doesn't have is active noise cancellation and wireless charging. Something missing right here. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Buds are really nice and unique. They've got fabric case. It's a little bit bulkier, but it's nice compact. It's got USB type C. You open it up revealing of course, Sennheiser's True Wireless Buds. Audio quality is where Sennheiser push the limits on this. It sounds really good. You've got touch controls to your cup. But in terms of battery life, you're looking at four hours and about 12 hours combined with the case. I think a lot of people will like the sound that it gets. It's priced at 209 but the battery life is really short. But if you're going for audio, this is something you definitely have to look at it and really admire and enjoy. I think you'd like it at that price range. Just know that you do have to top it off after 12 hours. Now for Apple fans, I have to recommend the AirPods Pro. That is the best pair of headphones from Apple. And the reason I like them is the noise cancellation is actually pretty good. And Apple of course is well known to have a really good microphone on there. You do have tips now so it fits much better but for me, doesn't fit out the way and they're a couple of tips heads to go with. Now as you see, I am using a case with my AirPods Pro. They're from my good friends at Spigen. They send a few over and I do like them becoming different colors and also kind of like a rugged one here too. So if you're one who you know might lose your AirPods case, at least you can clip them to your belt. So that's something you can actually do. But in terms of audio quality, I think it's similar to the AirPods now with just a better seal. But if you're an Apple fan, that's the price point you have to pay and that's what you have to pick up. And finally, the king of the hill still for me and one that definitely you can spend your money on any of the other week are the Sony WF 1000 mark threes. The mark threes are really unique. In terms of audio quality, I think they really hit the mark. It's got really nice soft sound, if you will. It's not too colorful. The highs and lows and mids come out really well, especially the lows too. The highs really strike out.  I think a lot of people will like this. Now it doesn't have wireless charging, which is a bummer, but it does have USB type C and it has NFC tap to pair, which is really fast to actually pay your device. I think these are just a great pair to pick up, especially for the holidays. If you're looking to give a gift to someone who wants a good pair of two wireless buds. Alright guys, those are all the true wireless buds in this video that I think you can pick up from $50 all the way to $249. And I think there's something for everyone. And if you'd like any, you can take a look at them using the links down below. Also, if you want to check out my gear that I use in my videos, you can check them out, including the Nanna light pavo tubes, which I use to light some things in this video. They're pretty cool. They work out well. I'm still trying to play with them and see what I can do. You can check it out from our friends at BNH photo. Alright guys, thank you very much.

The people who are on the BJP-BJP government, the anti-incombination of the BJP-BJP government, what should we do with the capitalization? We are experiencing that the 15 days that the BJP-BJP is meant to be held, it is meant to be shared by the SMN. But the BJP-BJP people are not able to see it. The Congress is meant to be held.  And the big story is, Naveen Babu has been with the government for 24 years. During that time, who has come? Who is guaranteed? I want to ask a question to Babu. If we talk about the BJP-BJP government, then the other party can support it. This is a big story. Let me show you. In the past few months, we had the 5th government of the BJP-BJP government. In the same way, the BJP-BJP government and the central government have done all sorts of things. For example, without the government. What should we do with the project of the people of the state? In the past, the government has given a board to the 5th government of the BJP-BJP government. So, the project of the BJP-BJP government is still the same. We have seen the project of the BJP-BJP government in 2009-2019. In this, the BJP-BJP government is still the same. The project of the BJP-BJP government is still the same. The mainstream media has shown, that the BJP-BJP government is still the same. The BJP-BJP government has showed a big interest in the Government. The BJP-BJP government is still the same. So, we see the project of the BJP-BJP government is even better for people. We have to find a solution to this problem. In Mahanadir, if we talk about the Charity Barrage, we can't do anything. If we had to do something, we would have got water from the river. We have to find a smart city to help people. Today, we have seen two days ago. We have to find a solution to this problem. We have to find a solution to this problem. We have to find a solution to this problem. We have to find a solution. If we have to find a solution to this problem, we can't... So, let's see what India Today is going to say. Listen, let's see what India Today is going to say. India Today is going to survey. India Today is going to survey. For the past one and a half years, the people of Mukhya Mantra are 25% less. 25% less. So, let's see what India Today is going to survey. We will see how much we can see in June 4 and 8 months after the meeting. So, let's see how much we can see. So, let's see how much we can see in June 4 and 8 months after the meeting. Naveen Babu, where did you meet Pandya in the last KBI? No, Naveen Babu last KBI. Yes, Babu. Yes, again. Yes, Babu. Yes, again. Yes, Babu. Yes, Babu. Yes, Babu. Yes, Babu. Yes, Babu. Yes, Babu.

So my research is really motivated by my major interest in avian biology and in particular the phenomenon of bird migration. With our work we want to understand how this behavior is modulated and formed. So what are the genes that are driving this phenotype or this behavior? By migration I mean coordinated, oriented and periodically repeating mass movements of all or a fraction of individuals of one species or a population. In birds this behavior ranges from spectacular mass movement of flocking starlings to the almost invisible movement of tiny little passerines and these are particularly fascinating for me. They migrate at night and especially young birds on their first migration. They do this alone so they don't have anyone to follow and they do this over thousands of kilometers often to a different continent and with amazing precision. So the central question of our research is really how do they do this? How do genes allow birds to find their way with such accuracy? And we do know that birds do possess a couple of adaptations to cope with this challenge of migration. So birds are equipped with an inherited initial direction and the time schedule that tells them when to leave and also when to stop. So birds integrate this information into a spatial temporal orientation program which tells them when to leave, which direction to fly to and also when to stop. If you want to understand this behavior on the molecular level to really identify the genes that are shaping this variation, you want to work with a species that exhibits variation in that behavior. And this is why we work on blackcaps because blackcap populations across their distribution range exhibit the entire spectrum of migratory phenotypes. We have long distance, medium distance, short distance migrants and also resident populations of the same species that do no longer migrate. In addition to this difference in the propensity and distance traveled, they also exhibit variation in their orientation phenotype. So some birds go southeast in autumn, whereas other populations migrate southwest. There is an area where neighboring populations with these distinctly different orientation programs meet and that's called a migratory divide. In addition to the southeast and southwest orientation, there is a more recently established migratory route that takes birds up north to winter in the British islands. So they migrate northwest. And that is especially exciting because it allows us to really study evolution in action. Blackcaps in general, because of this huge variability in the migratory phenotype, are an excellent study species to understand what genes modulate this variation. The migration behavior is something that happens in midair and it covers thousands of kilometers and often stretches over different continents. It's actually possible to study this behavior in the lab and that is what has traditionally been used. So migratory birds that are kept in cages exhibit so-called migratory restlessness behavior once the migratory season comes in. That means they are so eager to migrate that even in a cage they exhibit migration behavior. So they flap their wings and they hop around and they do this in a very coordinated manner. So they hop in a direction that they would normally migrate to. And we can use the characterization of this orientation and also of the timing as a proxy for migration. Most of our understanding so far really is based on this assessment in a caged migrant. But that's also the limitation of previous research because everything is based on these indirect measures. But if you want to understand and really identify the genes that are driving this variation, you want to characterize this focal phenotype, so the migration behavior as precisely as possible and in its natural habitat. And this is only recently becoming accessible to do on small songbirds and that's exactly what we do. So we use geolocator technology to first characterize orientation preference of blackcaps across the migratory divide. And also use this tracking technology to see on where birds that are spending their winters in the UK actually breed because this is something we haven't understood at all so far. Or we haven't been able to study so far. So geolocator is a light level archival tech that has been miniaturized to be used on small songbirds. So it weighs less than half a gram or so. You can mount it as kind of a backpack on the bird and then the bird flies to its wintering area and comes back and the data is stored on this geolocator. So you have to recapture this bird in order to access and download the data. And then the data is basically a time series of light intensity data linked to date and time. And then you can interpret this time series and in fear day lengths as an estimate of latitude and also the time of midday as an estimate of longitude and then use these data to reconstruct the position of the bird along its migratory journey. So that gives us the accurate phenotype for each bird. And we also take a blood sample of each of these birds to then use the DNA that is in those nucleated blood cells to sequence the entire genome of each individual. And that allows us to compare individual variation of each bird on the behavior level with individual variation of each bird on the level of the genome. As key findings, I want to highlight what we find on the behavior level by tracking wild migrants. And then I also want to give you a first insight into what we find on the level of the genetic control. And here we focus on a population based average of the behavior. So when we use deallocated technology to characterize orientation across the migratory divide, we actually found and could confirm the migratory divide hypothesis. And that means that we could find birds that follow all different orientation angles between the pure southeast and southwest orientation. And this so called hybrid swarm now allows us to link this individual variation in this phenotype of interest to the individual variation of the genomes of these birds that we are currently sequencing. We also were wondering how this new phenotype of birds overwintering in the UK actually came about. So we don't really know where the breeding origin of these birds are. And it was assumed that these birds come primarily from the area of the hybrid zone or this migratory divide. And our tracks actually confirm that this is not true. But these birds breed all over Europe. So there isn't one particular population on the continent that then migrates to the UK. But the birds that are overwintering in the UK actually come from breeding grounds as diverse as Poland or Italy or France. It's not one distinct population. And that was totally surprising. And it's very exciting to follow up on this. So to match phenotype to genotype relate the groundwork by assembling a reference genome for the black cap. We are currently focusing on a population based average of all the different phenotypes that the black cap exhibits with respect to migratory behavior. You find that variation on the genome scale is actually very low between the very different behavioral phenotypes. So whatever differs between different migratory behavior on the genome level very likely actually relates to this behavior because the populations are otherwise very similar. And the clearest difference is between migratory and non migratory populations. The differences in the genomes of migrants and residents localize on very few regions on the genome. They're very short also. And the genes that are under these regions relate to functions that do make sense in a context of adaptation to residency. So they encode for for example learning or memory formation for energy expenditure or appetite control. And these are all processes that are very relevant in an adaptation to a resident phenotype. In these population based average analysis we are considering all different traits together. So the propensity the distance and the orientation of a migrant. We see that most differences relate to residency. But to understand what is the difference between the different migratory phenotypes we can now use the individually phenotype birds or the behavioral data for these birds and link it to their individual genomes. But that is only possible on the individual level. And that is what we are going to do in the next step. Our work on understanding the genetics of behavior will not only increase our understanding of this behavior itself and its huge variability its evolutionary potential. But it will also have important implications for related areas such as sensory biology. For example when we understand why a bird migrates southwest as opposed to southeast we can then look into how for example the magnetic compass that helps the bird to orient on this direction functions on a molecular level. Possibly most importantly understanding what migration genes actually are and what they are doing could help us to forecast adaptations of population to changing ecological parameters such as the climate. So if we understand how populations adjust to changing ecological conditions this could help us to also use the information we gain on a very common species such as a black cap to feed into conservation management plans for more threatened migratory species. Genotypic variation on this migration behavior can be altered on many different regulatory levels and so far we've only looked at the sequence level. But subtle changes in the DNA sequence can lead to huge differences in gene expression profiles. So as one key complementary approach we are also looking at these gene expression differences and here we are additionally making use of the fact that the migratory phenotype is only expressed during migration and so we can not only contrast differences in migratory phenotype but also compare gene expression differences during migration with off-season controls to really identify the signaling cascades and the regulatory mechanisms that are driving variation in this behavior. Ultimately providing proof of principle basically will be imperative and it will be challenging to manipulate identified candidate structures in vivo but this will be the only way to really prove the effect of disruption of these genes on the migratory behavior in a migratory bird with an increased accessibility of also functional genomic tools to blackcaps for example this will be possible in the future.


This is the question. What do we want? In 10 years, we can be anything because technology will be able to do whatever it is that we want to do This is the question we have in countries in Europe and we have to get together to define what that is Do we want to be human or do we want to merge with a machine? Do we want to compete with China and have faster soldiers because we have genetically engineered them? What do we want? With artificial intelligence is quite clear machines are becoming intelligent But fear not they're intelligence Me when we think about this graph here unfolding is quite clear that we're not going to keep up with them Technologies exponential and we are not I mean even if you get to be a hundred or 120. We're just not going to keep up with the machine I mean there's no way you can memorize Wikipedia in 12 seconds But what's the difference there? I sometimes say when human intelligence meets artificial intelligence It's the end of business as usual And fill in the blanks there It's the end of education as usual the end of politics as usual now we have to rethink what we are and what we want


So, H3, H3 Productions just released a video talking about Instagram vs. reality. And he touches on some points which we definitely need to discuss, especially because Instagram just announced that they're playing around with removing the likes feature. But some people are really upset at this video and are already making response videos. So in my video, we're going to kind of look at both sides and see what we can learn from this experience. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, what I'd like to do is take a look at the YouTube community or different aspects of pop culture and try to see what lessons we can learn from them. Because what good? What good is watching all of these YouTube videos or watching the news if we're not taking these lessons and applying them to our own lives. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So in this video, we're going to be talking about body image issues. We're going to be talking about body shaming. We're going to be talking about anxiety, depression, some other mental health issues. And it is Mental Health Awareness Month. So full disclaimer, I am not a licensed therapist or a psychologist. I am somebody who has had my own struggles with mental health issues and I'm very passionate about it. But if you're struggling with self love, body image, bullying, whatever it is, please, please, please talk to somebody, get help. Whether it's a friend, a family member, or talk to your doctor, see if they recommend a therapist or your insurance company, or whoever it is and seek help. All right. So let's jump into this story. All right. So A3, A3 Productions, like I'm super proud of Ethan, like he's had his own struggles with depression. Last year was kind of rough for him. And he seems to be getting back to old Ethan, right? And Ethan is one of like the OG commentary channels on this platform. So he just released a video, I believe it was yesterday, about Instagram versus reality. All right. So the overall message of that video, which I'll dive into more throughout this video was that Instagram, what you're seeing on Instagram is not necessarily reality.  There's like a whole subcategory of this on Instagram. And he was talking about how, you know, this isn't what people really look like. They're a pretty important reason. All right. But this upset some people. And like I said, some response videos came out and things like that. Now, in my opinion, some people who are reacting to this video, and there's definitely some issues with Ethan's video, which I'll talk about later on. But some people reacting to this video or making response videos on it, they're missing what he was saying, right? So Ethan didn't make a video discussing, you know, makeup versus no makeup, right?  This is something that Nerd City has talked about many, many times. All right. So it's not an issue of makeup versus no makeup. Well, it's like in the context of Ethan's video, because I won't say that like there's no body out there who was saying like, oh, you look better with makeup. You know, right?  Right. And here's the thing, like it is a big issue. It is a big issue of what is happening on Instagram. Like who was it? Like James Charles and I think Nikita Dragon, they did a video like a month ago or something. They're like face tuning battle. You know what I mean? It's kind of like this fun thing. And like that's cool.  But I believe, I believe Ethan making this video was to talk about the subject as to why Instagram is even addressing, you know, the like feature on Instagram in the first place. Like it is, it is known, it is widely known through plenty of research and studies. If I can find some, I'll link them down in the description below. But one of the issues that we have today, which is fueling, it's one of the many, many reasons people's mental health is screwed up. But one of the issues that we're dealing with today is there are people scrolling through Instagram feeds or Twitter or whatever it is, and they're comparing their insides to other people's outsides. All right. So there are some people who are saying that Ethan is being damaging to young women, but there is also like evidence, like actual research on the fact that all of these like facetuned photos, all these Photoshop photos, these are damaging young women as well because here's the issue, especially because younger people, like a younger audience, they don't know the difference, all right? Like you and me, we know, we know, all right? Most of us know. Most of us know. Not everybody knows. But we know what we're looking at. Like, okay, there's editing done to this. There's issues. Like, Ethan even did bring up the topic of Justin Bieber and how they changed that. Like this is something that's been going on forever, like the way they airbrush like, you know, magazines, you know, things like that for models and getting rid of all these little things. Like, so it's important like that any of us struggling with body image issues or whatever it is when we look at those things, we have to realize like, oh, okay, there's something else going on. But one of the other issues that I don't think it was addressed in the H3H3 video, but which is commonly known as well, is that there are influencers out there, and there are celebrities like the Kardashians and everything like that, who promote, they promote these like unhealthy diet teas, like what is it like flat tummy tea and things like that. And what what the issue with that is, is that they're promoting a product like this weight loss product. And they're saying like, listen, use this product, and you can look like me. Like that's the whole idea behind that marketing, right? But the reality is, is that there are many people who have the money to get plastic surgery, or they have money for like a personal trainer, or their images are face tuned or photoshopped, right? So like, I want to make it very clear to I am not, I am not against cosmetic surgery. Like if you want to get cosmetic surgery, do your thing boo. But I don't think that Ethan is necessarily doing something extremely harmful because he's bringing awareness to the fact that when you're seeing these things on Instagram, it is not fair to yourself to compare yourself to these other people because they are doing things that maybe you don't know, right? Whether it's editing photos or, you know, the cosmetic surgery. You see what I mean? But one argument that's come up many, many times is the promotion of these unhealthy, like dieting products, right? Like there are, there have been celebrities who have spoken out about this, I believe Philip DeFranco has covered it a few times as well. And that's something where like, you know, if we're going to get into an argument about like morals and ethics, like who's doing more harm? Who's doing more harm? Like Ethan, what he's doing, or the people promoting these products that could be harmful or dangerous. Like I did a poll a long time ago when I was focusing more on mental health. I asked my audience, I was like, how many of you are either currently struggling with an eating disorder or are in recovery from an eating disorder? And I got like, like, I think over a thousand, like people who submitted on that poll, just showing how many people are struggling with eating disorders out there. Like it is a major issue. Like I, I was absolutely blown away. Like as somebody who is so passionate about mental health and like looking at the latest research and reading books and everything like that. Like I did not realize how big of an issue eating disorders are. All right. So that is something that definitely needs to be addressed. So I do commend Ethan for talking about that. All right. Now the other side of this thing, all right, we got to cover both sides. Okay. So in, in some of the response videos and things like that about Ethan, it is that he's bullied. Okay. Now, trust me, like I am somebody who loves to trash talk me and my friends. We joke around with each other and everything like that. I love a good burn in my personal opinion. And I love Ethan to death in his content. I do feel he went a little hard on that video. Like there were, there were certain times where like, I feel it went just a little too far. And I think that's why some people are upset because his overall message was diluted by like his harsh attacks. Right. Like if he would have, if he would have stuck to just, Hey, this isn't reality. Hey, this is what you look like, because I think Ethan did a good job. Like what he was trying to do in his video was use like self deprecating humor. Right. Like Ethan is somebody who makes fun of himself. He makes fun of his body constantly. Okay. So if you, if you like look at it, he was trying to just tell people like, yo, be cool with who you are. Like be happy with who you are. Like in my opinion, like I am always like struggling with my own personal weight loss journey. Like if you're not happy with who you are, like you have the opportunity to do something about it. Right.  But Ethan was using self deprecating humor to kind of say like, look, it's okay to just be you. But there was a few instances where I was like, I was a little harsh, a little bit harsh. Now, the last thing I want to talk about is the use of self deprecating humor and using that as a pass to kind of bully or make fun of other people. Like trust me, I am not a fan of outrage culture. I'm not a fan of, you know, people being overly sensitive about things. But at the same time, I try to practice empathy. I know that there are certain people out there who are not, who don't have the thick skin that I do. So I try to be careful about that. And there's something I was taught in 12 step programs. Those of you who don't know me, I've been cleaning sober for almost seven years, it'll be seven years next month. Something that we're taught is, you know, because we laugh at ourselves in, in recovery, right? We make fun of ourselves.   So say, for example, I'm making fun of myself and then somebody else jumps in on that. I might get really sensitive because a lot of us, we are sensitive people. So that's something that I would just suggest. Like if Ethan ever sees this, or if you are somebody like Ethan to kind of look at it and say, like, okay, right? Like not everybody is going to take things the same way I do. And, and all that kind of stuff.  Because obviously, like there's, there's evidence that people seeing all this fake stuff on Instagram and on Twitter and, you know, on YouTube and all these other things that is making people depressed as well. You know, so this is a larger issue that has many, many, many, many different angles to it. And again, like I mentioned at the beginning of this video, like if you're somebody who is struggling with your body image issues with self love, self compassion, if you know the steps you need to take to maybe lose weight or whatever it is, but you can't do it, like just reach, reach out and get help, you know, or take the first steps forward. Take that first step forward. Like a step that I took forward a couple of years ago was becoming vegetarian. And a lot of it was for health reasons, because when I got sober, I had congestive heart failure and I was dying, right? And some of those heart issues lingered, even though my heart is like 95% better, but a vegetarian diet has helped my heart even more. You know what I mean?  But anyways, reach out, get help, talk to friends, talk to family members, take that first step. But if you feel like you need extra help, talk to your doctor, see if they can recommend a therapist, talk to friends and family members, see if they can recommend a therapist for you or a psychologist. If you have insurance, call your insurance company, see if they can recommend somebody in your network. If you're somebody who is looking for another option, I personally use BetterHelp online therapy. It's all available on an app and a computer, and you can talk to them, FaceTime with them, you know, whatever it is. So if you would like to use that, there will be an affiliate link down in the description and in the pinned comment below. All right. But there is help out there. All right. But anyways, let me know your thoughts on this subject. You think Ethan went too hard. What do you think is more damaging? I don't even like asking that. What is more damaging?  And then obviously bullying is damaging as well. But anyways, let's have a conversation down in the comments below. That's all I got for this video.

Oh, yeah, we back in action. Ladies and gentlemen, silent Mike, another Q&A back to my roots. This is where it started raw, loose, quick fire silent Mike with two K's on Instagram and Twitter if you want to get involved. We're twitching as much as we can live stream and build the dope community to be able to chat with you guys live. Link in the description. Mama's Boys Podcasts, weekly episodes, if not twice a week, iTunes, Stitcher, SoundCloud, soon to be Spotify, Mama'sBoysPodcast.com, check it all out below. Let's get to your questions. Ladies and gentlemen, how do you warm up before a bench in? For me, the most of my warmups are pretty specific. So I take the barbell for, you know, one to three sets of 20 to 30 reps. And then I slowly add weight building up to my working weight.  If I'm feeling real cold or something feels a little iffy, then I'll do a little extra warm up some push up something of that nature. But that's typically it. Mike, another warm up question. Mike, how many sets do you do before getting in your working weight? So that's almost impossible to say my man, because if my working weight on bench is 275, I may only do three or four sets to get there. But if I'm warming up to 650 pounds for doubles on deadlift, I may take eight sets to get there. So it all depends on how strong you are typically, you know, five, maybe 10% jumps for the couple of beginning jumps and then 5% jumps leading on to the working weight is a good general, general guideline. How come I don't need to adjust my one rep max for a 10 week program? What did the percentage no longer represent my true one rep max? Or does it not matter?  So when you're running a, you know, 812 16 week program, do you need to update your one rep max? Because perhaps you got stronger in that program. It all depends on the program. It all depends on the goal. And it all depends on the individual. I know you hate that answer because that's the truth and everybody hates the truth. So for multiple reasons, I would say no, you don't have to update it, but it kind of depends.  How so, Mike, because you're detrained in your body, so willing to adapt to the new stimulus and the new skill acquisition that you're getting, you're getting better at the bench press weekly, plus your muscles are getting stronger, repairing quicker, because you're not actually handling the type of loads that you bodies actually ready to handle. So you'll be able to progress very rapidly from there. It might be every two weeks, every four weeks that you can PR in the lifts. This obviously depends on age, genetics and some other things. This is talking about pure beginners. As you get more advanced, that's pretty much the defining factor between a beginner and intermediate is how long in between it takes for you to PR or hit a new personal record. Eventually, you know, the best in the world are hoping for a small five pound, 10 pound PR every 12, 16, or even 20 weeks. And that's why it says it depends. Now, if you are not a pure beginner and you can't PR every week or every other week, I still don't think you should update your one rep max again, based on the program. Let's just blanket statement say we're going for a 12 week peak program. So we're going to test our one rep max at the end. The chances or the percent that you got stronger throughout the entire program won't really affect the program that much until you test anyways at the end. Because you depending on the program, you're not going to make a 150% gain in your one rep max. You know, if it's five or 10%, that will all show itself at the end when you test anyways. And then you can repeat the program with those updated. When we're programming, I mentioned this in the last Q&A, as long as you're kind of hitting a range on that day. That's why RPEs become so popular and it is very effective because you just kind of have to hit this ret this target. You don't have to hit the bullseye every day of the weight to get the proper stimulus to progress. As long as you're kind of in that range that we're aiming for that certain stimulus, depending on the program, depending on the day and the intent of that workout. You'll make progress and be just fine. So I wouldn't overthink it. Don't overstress it. Follow the program, test at the end and then rerun a program with the new updated maxes. Will I ever go back to conjugate training? Probably not. Not while I'm competitive powerlifter. You know, I think the frequency is enough for me. The variations, I don't think they work the best for the majority of raw powerlifters. I've done many videos on this. I think if you're raw powerlifting, you need more competition lifts than typical conjugate does. I know I could make it my own in these things, but I prefer the style of training I do. I believe in it. I think it's time-tested. I think it's proven through many other coaches and systems, but it's proven through myself as a lifter and as a coach with everyone I've worked with. So I think I'm going to stick with that if, you know, I totally wrap up and just don't powerlift per se anymore. Yeah, I can mess around with some kind. You can take enough variations. We've got a decent lifting question here. Board press or floor press as a variation for the bench press? Which one do you prefer and why? I'd say if I had to choose one, it would probably be the floor press personally and from experience with other athletes and being in the gym. A board press is an awesome movement, but for a lot of lifters, they're so uncomfortable with that bench on or excuse me, the board on their stomach that they'll misgroove. And they'll untighten their back more often than not that their bench form will just go to the window and they're just worried about touching that board. So I would say what I would throw in there is maybe a spoto press where you're kind of pausing at different heights.  I think this more so reinforces a tight back and control the barbell. And then I'd say the floor press for the same reason. If you're going to use a variation, let's go outside of the box a little bit and let's really, you know, kind of pause our triceps on the ground before we explode back up. And I think you find a good groove and a good carryover from the floor press itself. What to do in the gym after a meet or a peek? Kind of to you, you know, if all is healthy and you're feeling good, it might be another time to have some fun and try something a little different. It's also a good time to just chill, maybe do some dumbbell work, maybe take it completely off. Kind of depends on your mental state and what will get you motivated to continue on the gym. So maybe test another one rep max, maybe just do some dumbbell work, have some fun or maybe take it completely off and then get back into things in a couple weeks. What tip you would give all lifters, whether they're beginners or experience? That's a good question. Tip I would give anybody. This is lifting life business is have some patience. Have some patience. Things always take longer than you think they will. And if you have patience and stick to the plan or stick towards your goal or at least have that goal in your mind daily, you'll get there.  But truth is, if you have patience and you stick to a plan, you're going to get a lot closer to that goal than you ever would without those two things. And those are literally the only two things you need. You need a little bit of patience, maybe a lot of patience, more patience than you think you need. You need it and some type of plan to get there. And that's all you need. You welcome. That'll be $8,000. Send it to my pickup. What are your thoughts on only deadlifting singles? My thoughts on only deadlifting singles is it's probably not optimal. Now, there are some instances that you might be able to get away with something of that nature where you're only deadlifting singles once a week at a higher intensity and catching some volume on a variation like a block pull or stiff leg or something of that nature. But I think the majority of time all lifts are going to be similar to some extent where if we want to get better at that lift, we're going to have to slowly build volume and frequency over time. So if you want to get better at the deadlift, we're going to have to get some deadlifting muscles. And the way to get deadlifting muscles is to build them with some reps, maybe some variation, but definitely some reps, some volumes of frequency. So deadlifting singles, can you lift a lot of weight that way? Sure. I'm sure somebody has and comments are going to be blasted below. Mike, someone said deadlifting 900 pounds by only doing singles.  But I think for the majority of people, you're going to have to do some volume, you're going to have to do some work. If you had to pick three exercises besides the squat, deadlift and the bench to build a routine around what would they be? Chin up. Love me some chin ups. Overhead press. Build them delts. And I don't know if this counts, but I hope it counts. We'll do the front squat. And if that doesn't count, we'll do the Bulgarian split squat. There you go. Shove it in. You probably smoke on that one. Mike, what is your best and or favorite point guard in the NBA right now? Y'all know I love some basketball. Comment below your favorite point guard or favorite player in all professional sports right now. Type it in. Hit enter. Tag a friend.  My player's the best. My favorite point guards. I can't make any decisions in my life right now. Steph Curry might be one of the, probably the best point guard in the league right now. It's pretty hard to argue against my favorite point guard in the league right now is a tie with my man, Isaiah Thomas. I know he's been injured, but he's still my boy and the one and only Russell Westbrook. That boy is a stud. I love watching Russell Westbrook. If I couldn't make me, somebody I'd make me some Russell Westbrook from the style to the big dunks like this coming down the lane. Russell Westbrook's a man. I'm a big fan, but there's a lot of good point guards. Kyrie Irving's a stud, although he left my calves. I'm not that mad about it. I mean, I'm mad about it, but I'm not that mad about it. This healthy eating beat training from my man, Danky Meme. Well, Danky, let me tell you a thing or two about healthy eating. Now I'm going to say that depends on the goals. I think the combination of everything. You're talking longevity of life, healthy living, having a long, healthy, happy life, happy life, whatever these people say. These married folks. Or being a performance athlete. My mama said, this is a God that makes them upset. Sorry, that was a bad quote. I had half the quote. I was trying to do my, I don't even know his name, Bobby Boucher. I like her boobies.  Back to the question, Danky Meme. What did she say? I like Becky. Is she like me too? She showed me her boobies. And I like them too. My mama says, who bought a devil? That's all I got Connor. Sorry, bro. No handshakes in the video. We're on one today, ladies and gentlemen. I had too many rock stars. This healthy eating beat training, Danky memes. Shout out Danky memes. If you're just going for longevity of life, I think it has to be almost a clear cut combination of both. If you're going for pure performance, I think lifting is going to take priority. If you're going for pure looks or losing weight, I think diet is going to take priority. Hopefully that breaks it down for you. Obviously, I think optimally for longevity of life, performance and looks combination of both. But I'm just saying if you have to just choose one, you know, and I just want to live a long time. That's a hard question. The living a long time is a hard one to say because I think it's such a combo of both performance. I definitely think that training is priority. And losing weight, gaining weight, obviously I think priority is nutrition. But obviously the combo is going to matter, bro. Just do both. That hard? Just do a little bit of both.  What type of leg exercises? Excuse me. What type of leg exercises did you do while dealing with my back injury? So when I didn't squat and deadlift, I took six to eight weeks off to chill, to work, to give my back a break. If I had the option, which I didn't because I was traveling in places, I would do a belt squat. That's what I did last time I tweaked my back. The belt squat is a lifesaver. This time around, I didn't have access to that. So what I did is I did some Bulgarian split squats with holding a week on my up, on the opposite of my up foot on the Bulgarian to add some balance and some cold work. You know, that's right. Put in work, eat that salad, note it, and then lung it. Just focusing on staying even and still working some of my legs. Plus I was doing some high intensity end-of-ball training kit. And I was doing some assault bike sprints. How to build a bigger bench? My man! I can't say how many videos I've done on building a bigger bench. Eat some foods, be in a calorie surplus, focus on your technique. Focus on a solid program that has you benching a couple times a week. Do it for a long time. Rinse and repeat, bench four oh five. Guys, I appreciate you. I'll see you on Twitch. I'll see you in the next video. We're dropping videos Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. Subscribe, turn on notifications. I appreciate you styling Mike, head down, chin up, me doing me, we outta here.


They behave your panel. Sorry, man. It just it was. Sorry. I just I don't know what's going on here. That's the problem. Let me try. I can't hear it. How is that? Do you hear it now? Is it better? No. Yep. It's going. It's working. Yep. It's fine now. Good. Good. Good. Okay. I did the same thing. I went into low. Don't know. I'll really do that easy enough. Yeah. You can hear me. Well, let's let's all do it. So I had to go in and grab that and do it. It'd be excuse me. My voice is whacked from talking this morning. All right. I'm Scott Rouse. I'm a body language expert and analyst. I train law enforcement in the military and interrogation and body language. And I created with Greg Hartley Body Language Tactics.com the number one body language course online. Mark. I'm Mark Bowden. I'm an expert in human behavior and body language. I help people all over the world to stand out, win trust and gain credibility every time they speak, including some of the leaders of the G7. Chase. I'm Chase Hughes. I'm a bestselling author in behavioral profiling, influence and persuasion. The 20 years in the U.S. military. Now I train the government and the public and persuasion influence and behavior profiling. And I'm the author of this book right here. That's about to become a TV series. Greg. Greg Hartley, former Army interrogator, interrogation instructor, resistance to interrogation instructor. I've written a bunch of books on body language and behavior and put this number one course together with Scott Body Language Tactics.com.  Today we're going to talk about Kevin Williams, who's the guest on the vice presidential debate this week. So as we go through this, we're just going to tell you what body language we're seeing. Remember, we go right down the middle. We're not on one side of the other. If you're on the left, you're going to say, ah, these guys are on the right. And if you're on the right, you can say, ah, these guys are on the left. We're not. We're just telling you what we see. We don't take sides on this. We're Switzerland when it comes to doing this. All right. We're just telling you the body language we see. All right. So let's take a look at the first video. Bias against minorities is a great insult to the men and women who serve in law enforcement. And I want everyone to know who puts on the uniform of law enforcement every day. President Trump and I stand with you. And it is remarkable that when Senator Tim Scott tried to pass a police reform bill, brought together a group of Republicans and Democrats, Senator Harris, you got up and walked out of the room. And then you filibustered Senator Tim Scott. All right, Greg, you want to go first? Sure. So Williams comes in. He's got the best entrance of everybody in the room. Hands down, open movement, smooth cadence, very fluid. No barriers, nothing crossing. No crossing any of his limbs. Makes eye contact with everybody in the room and then practically floats in. Perfect entrance. Mark, you want to go next? Yeah. So I got to concur with that because speed and time is part of nonverbal and Williams comes in at a tenth of a second. That's only three three frames and he's right in the shot right in there and that's extraordinary speed. Now, I'm not quite sure what that means as a whole, but certainly Williams. It's an imperative for him to be there right now. So extraordinary, extraordinary entrance on that chase. What do you got? Movement and direction is extremely important and he comes in at a way that he wants the camera to know. He's facing to the right. He continues to point to the right regardless of the distractions of Vice President Pence and he continues to to maintain that right direction in a little in a way that shows no stress in the legs or the arms during the entire first clip that we're seeing here. And that's all I've got. Scott, what do you have? All right, here's what I got. Well, when Williams lands immediately, we see interior spherical contract, which lets us know it denotes that he's been waiting for his entrance. When he comes in, he starts to relax a little bit. We see the contract and we seem relaxed. This indicates he's been looking for the right spot, not just coming in. I don't know where we're coming in for the right spot and that's hard to do in a situation like this. And I'm under the impression this isn't just a haphazard situation. I think this was planned. I think this was this was planned because his his entrance and his landing are perfect. It's quick right on the money that doesn't take long at all. So that's that's pretty much what I got at that point. Bias against minorities is a great insult to the men and women who serve in law enforcement. And I want everyone to know who puts on the uniform of law enforcement every day and President Trump and I stand with you and it is remarkable that that when Senator Tim Scott tried to pass a police reform bill brought together a group of Republicans and Democrats.  So be good. Yeah. Yeah. Student excellent. You got up and walked out of the room and then you filibustered Senator Tim Scott's bill on the Senate floor that would have provided new accountability, new resources, but we don't have to choose between supporting law enforcement, proving public safety and supporting our African American neighbors and all of our minorities under President Trump's leadership. We'll always stand with law enforcement and we'll do what we've done for us. They want to improve the lives of African Americans. Thank you. But I'm employment record investments in education and fight for school choice for all of our. Thank you. I'd like to respond. Okay. Chase, what do you got? Right off the bat. What we're seeing here is contempt. We see at the very beginning of the clip. We just saw he's facing to the right holding his position, lots of relaxation as soon as Vice President Pence starts talking about the campaign. Williams makes an about face and literally faces his body the other direction. He's making solid multi eye contact with Kamala Harris and we're seeing this behavior continue with this stoic representation of stillness and it reminds me of a Roman statue as Mark will probably say sometime. I'll let you lead with that. Mark. Yeah. Yeah. Well, move to the bestica. I mean, obviously to that point. Look, I want to pick up on what Scott was saying because he was saying, okay, is this planned? Well, let's look at the data behind this. 2010 Williams is seen with Obama when he was talking about the Affordable Care Act 2016. Williams comes in Hillary when Hillary Clinton is in the so Louis debate with Trump and and Williams shows up at Trump rallies. So so Williams is always there in the scene. It's a usual thing for him and therefore to your point, Chase, is he moving left or right? Which ways is he facing? Williams is totally bipartisan on this. Williams will come in, you know, regardless of the politician that's there. This is not this is not just about the vice president. This is about most every politician that's that's out there. I would I would say now I'll leave it at that. And I just will say that even if he isn't bipartisan, he's trying to maintain the image to the public that there's bipartisanship there. I'm sure just like all of us, we have our beliefs. We try to maintain bipartisanship and I think he's trying to make a valiant effort there and showing that. Yeah, that's okay. That's the only part. I'm not going to agree with the chase. When we look at it, we see his maxillator palps. When we see that light up, that tells me we're seeing contempt there toward Kamala. That's what that's what I'm seeing. I could I could be wrong. That's what I'm seeing. Greg, are you seeing like that? Well, Chase, I disagree with you about how calm he is. We usually all of us agree. This is a good one because I'm starting to see some symptoms of fight or flight and I see rigid energy going to the limbs. I see a couple of dips in preparation. I the only thing I wish I had is a better camera angle to see those pupils. Yeah. Yeah, I totally agree. Okay, Greg, you want to add anything to that? Yeah, no, I agree. I think he's showing less bias. You know, everybody's got their bias. We constantly are told but he's showing less bias and the others makes eye contact well with both of them. And at this point, he just looks like he's a little stressed and firefly starting to kick in. All right. All right. Here's what I'm seeing the maxillary palps. Again, that's percing. So that suggests it denotes. He disagrees with what Kamala is saying. And at the same time, we see it burst to the right a little bit, which indicates and it denotes that he that he sees a different outcome as to what she said for the way that Pence is coming back at her. It's almost an attack. They sang it off for dear life because Pence's heads going back and forth. But at the same time, you see Pence pause. And then when he pauses, it's almost like he's being, he's repeating what he's hearing over and over and over. That's like he's the Williams is communicating with him, giving him telling him what to say. There was an argument about that, like Mark was saying earlier with Obama. That's what was going on. I don't know. But so we saw that earlier. Then again, he's using his labellum and I think Chase, you'll have to tell me this, the pseudo trait guy. I think that's the way you say it. No, he's making that motion. The thing and when he puts stuff on his head, that's when he's that's when he's getting ready to poop. Hey, Scott, I'm not sure that that's exactly what he's doing, but he's surely wanting to get out of there. All that fight or flight, seeing him start to flex his back, all of those pieces. He's ready to break your pants. You're right. Okay. Okay. So that's what I'm seeing there. I've got a small problem with the Scudlam, but I'm not sure what that is. Something's going on there, but I'm not, I'm not sure what's going on there. That's again, why I think he's communicating with Pence. You got up and walked out of the room and then you filibustered Senator Tim Scott's bill on the Senate floor that would have provided new accountability, new repeat resources, but we don't have to choose between supporting law enforcement, proving public safety and supporting our African American neighbors and all of our minorities under President Trump's leadership. Thank you, Vice President. We always stand with law enforcement and we'll do what we've done. Vice President Pence, thank you.  The lives of African Americans. Thank you, Vice President. Employment, record investments in education.  We'll fight for school choice for all of our minorities. Thank you, Vice President. I'd like to respond. Okay. We good? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.  I'm the only one on this stage was prosecuted the big banks for taking advantage of America's homeowners. I'm the only one on this stage who prosecuted for profit colleges for taking advantage of our veterans. And the reality of this is that we are talking about an election in 27 days. All right. I'll go first on this one. I don't want to be a conspiracy person on this because it sounds like this the whole I'm going down. But I think I think he's communicating with Pence there. And another thing when you see what you're seeing here is boredom. He's bored out of his mind. It's not that he isn't. He's not listening. He's just bored. And I think Pence as well might be a little bored because the way his head is shaking. I think he's communicating that to Pence as well. And so he's saying I'm bored out of my mind. I'm bored. I must go and Pence is agreeing with him. That's what he's saying. He's not listening to Kamala. He's listening to Harris. He's listening to Williams as we go through this. Again, we see the the Prescutum that thing expands that goes down a little bit. That's an adapter. I think he's bored out of his skull doing this.  So I agree with Greg on that. We're seeing a lot of contempt again as he's just and he's just bored out of the skull. Mark, where do you got?  Obviously, I haven't I haven't trained Williams here. But if I were, if I were my client, obviously, I go on all the time about symmetrical gestures and and most of the time it will be true. You've got to go for cemetery. You've got to, you know, get straight down that lens. In the case of Williams, I think what's really interesting is he's he's moving the head, the forex, the abdomen into a blading position.  I think in this case, he's just asserting, you know, authority and just taking up more space because, you know, somebody of Williams's size, if if if straight down the camera and symmetrical, it's so hard to actually just see them, you know, they're almost invisible. And so I think he just does the right thing, but it's against most of the training that I would ever give. And so, you know, all credit to Williams there. Just phenomenal job and great idea to to to go for there. Chase, what do you got? I I agree with Mark and I'm not I'm not totally sure that he's communicating with with Pence. I'm not buying the whole thing, but I'm not saying it's not possible though, Scott. And what is really what's what's really true here and we can go back to the great behavioral experts and what we're seeing is as his head is coming down and Kamala is talking about. There's an election 27 days away. That's very important. We see his chest move up. We see his posture increase and we see him maintain focused eye contact on Kamala and he's showing that sense of bipartisanship there. He's he's on the right, but he land. He's on the left side of Vice President Pence looking towards Kamala Harris. So we see a lot of that that gross motor movement behavior there. We saw a little bit of pupil dilation there and that was mostly in response to her comment about how important the election was and it wasn't in response to a specific political comment, which I thought was interesting.  You could see him ruffle his plumage to make himself bigger and turn to an oblique so you could he can make a presence to her. I'm not sure what the rub is between the two of them, but he's got riveted eye contact and no eye contact whatsoever. If you look with Pence, you notice, however, he's relaxed for the first time here.  His eyes are looking forward. You may even notice that that the hands or the front limbs are under the chin braced something we'll see from her in a few minutes as she's trying to get someone to talk more. So I think here he nailed it. He's got the best posture of anybody on the stage at the moment. He's got and I know I was talking about the thorax and so I agree with what Mark is saying about being everything is symmetrical, especially with his wings when he starts that was going back and forth. That's another thing that tells me he's a little bit bored. You know, usually that they'll start like this. No, where are you going to say, Greg? Yeah, and those wings down those wings relaxed is a good sign. They go down. That's fight or flight when they rise. He's relaxed. Yeah, he's relaxed. But again, I think it's because it's bored. He's bored out of his skull at this point. So that's where I see him, but it's still symmetrical when they're doing this as a good call mark. We see the colipters. We look at the colipters that shade. They're showing signs of agreement. So at the same time, I agree with Chase. We're looking at we're seeing a little bit of by bipartisan behavior, but I think he agrees with Harris on this part because when Williams is showing disagreement again, he'll just he'll dead. I am real, you know, dead. I am and you can feel it. I think the whole room felt it at that point at that point. And again, at the end there though, we see him starting to tighten up. We see all those legs. We see every leg tighten up and get a better grip there. And again, we're seeing a little bit of stress in the abdomen. So I think we know what's going to happen right into that.  I'm the only one on this stage was prosecuted the big banks for taking advantage of America's homeowners. I'm the only one on this stage who prosecuted for profit colleges for taking advantage of our veterans. And the reality of this is that we are talking about an election in 27 days. Okay, we're good. Yeah, good. And not true. It wasn't like he didn't have a chance. He didn't do it. And then he doubled down. And then he said when pressed. Stand back. Stand by. And this is a part of a pattern of Donald Trump's. Okay, Chase, what do you got? Well, if there's one thing we do know for sure, it's that William's feet are 10 million times more sensitive than ours to sugars. He can detect them. And I'm not saying do you think that's product in his hair? You think? Well, I mean, what I'm saying is you think that's what is drawing him to it. I'm not going to say that. I won't I won't say that on record, but I will say he's made a decision to stay. He's made a decision to choose a certain spot. Maybe I'm all I'm all I'm offering is maybe he's not as he's not just on the right. Everyone's thinking he's on the right. He has more sensors than we do. He sees things differently than we do. Williams has a lot more ways to view things than we do. And one thing we really notice there is a slight angulation a little bit away from Kamala Harris, more towards the moderator of the event. So the debate moderator is taking some of William's attention away from Kamala Harris. I'll just leave it at that. Scott, what do you got? Okay. Well, I'll agree with you on that, but I think maybe we're talking about sugars. Maybe the product in his hair or the hair spray, like because I think Mark at one point, it was talking about I can't remember what spray it was, but it was but he was using a hair spray and Mark's the hair. What was the hair spray you were telling us about? No, what I would suggest is what we're dealing with there, like in the 80s, I would put sugar and lemon juice in my hair because I wanted it to look like I was the artist from a band called The Cult and I'm wondering whether Pence may have gone that same way. Just using sugar and lemon juice because it does help lighten the hair as well and it gives a really firm kind of hold to it, but it's a very 80s kind of thing. But that's when Pence was doing talk radio, probably 80s 90s kind of thing. So you know, it's a possibility. Okay, that's cool. That's totally cool. Now, again, I want to talk about the thorax because we're looking at the mesoplurin at this point and this is where we see again, even in the mesoplurin, we're seeing contempt. Now, whether it's contempt for the situation he's in or again toward Kamala, I don't know toward Harris, I don't know, but Williams and his baseline always shows contempt when he's in these different spots and that's where he's showing it. When here is the mesoplurin. So I think at this point, his wings have slowed down just a little bit. So I think to Greg's point, I think he's getting ready to get back into fight or flight because she's being a little bit aggressive at this point from what she's saying the way she's coming on. So I think he feels that and he knows that and it's about time for him to get out there. Most of the time he's, what's his average amount of stay in there? Greg, do you remember is he like usually a minute? Just a couple of minutes. Yeah, a couple of minutes and he's gone when he was with Obama and with Hillary. Yeah. Yeah. So I think at this point, this is when he's getting ready to do. I think this one starts going through his mind and then again, the mesoplurin, that's where we're seeing that the contempt happen. And I'm not saying he's, he's mad. He's going to leave. He's going to be a big baby about everything. But I think that's what we're seeing. Combine with the boredom and his contempt and what's going on and maybe it's, he's got too much like a nutrient factor from the, maybe he's had enough. You know, maybe he came and got what he needed while he was there, you know, because then again, we, yeah, toward the end, we see that level in the sort of a trait guy where he starts to stuff with those trying to, he puts that on there and then he eats whatever's as it decays and it helps break that down and he eats that. And just for our viewers, you've got to keep in mind that Williams can travel 300 times the length of his body in a second. He's an extraordinary individual and he possesses a talent that not many of us do. So we have to understand that with that kind of talent, you've, you have a different mindset about how you approach and the behaviors are going to be slightly different. So we need to look at that baseline. As Greg always says, Greg started to interrupt. No, no, that's okay. And perfect. Scott, I'm glad to see you put in the neurobiology back, back into this thing cause people are asking for it. And I would say, I see some prefight or flight starting here. And yet, first of all, you see him turn around and you see, as you said before, he's percing his lips and you see that disapproval when he's looking at Kamala and she's talking and then he spins around and he turns his body to an oblique. Again, does almost looks like he's doing a couple of push-ups as he extends limbs and locks them, drops his wings down. You see the pupils, all those pupils dilate and then he starts to look around the room and here's where he makes a mistake. The rest of the time he's held the stage and here he just takes off leaves without any kind of, any kind of exit. It just, he blows it. That's all I got. I think he makes a mistake. Mark, what do you got? And I think, well, let me just add to that because I think we see his, his wings flap rate increasing, you know, this relaxed at first and we see that increasing and then it starts decreasing. Like you said, they go down and then that's when he's getting ready to bolt. Yeah, I think you can see it building. I mean, if I were coaching anyone, you know, I've coached guys in business and I've also coached interrogators and all that in my life and I always say, don't show anything until it's too late and then, you know, they can't figure out where your hands are or whatever it is. Mark, ours are very different in our approach. Mine is about not bleeding that flight or flight. That's always what I care about because when you're negotiating with someone and they start to show their hand, you've got them and he starts to show his hands here. You can see, you can see his, all those limbs are getting locked. His wings start to flex and he's out. He blows it. Mark, what do you got? To that point, Greg.  Okay. So the Tarsus is moving in rhythm with, with, with what Williams is trying to get across. I think quite honestly, it's easy to criticize him, but quite frankly, he's, he's, he's been around since the Cenozoic era. So he's got a lot of years on him, literally almost 66 million years on him. So, you know, been around a while. We see him show up in, in the Flemish masters as, as, you know, a symbol of mortality. And I think that's why he shows up at these kind of points, just to remind us, just to kind of say, here I am, here I am again. And, and you know, don't take anything for granted in this. It could all be over soon. So, you know, think about this, think about this and think about this kind of thing carefully. I think that's what he's, he's, I think that's what he's always been there for. And I think that's why he shows up here. He kind of says, think about this. This is not an ordinary day. I don't know whether you guys agree, but that's where I'm coming from. Mark, one thing that does for me is that reminds me that I do have a bias because our tastes are very different. I have to pay attention to that. Yeah. And so I agree with you, Mark, because the plagues, the plague applies. We have a plague going on now. You know, we have a, it's huge. And so that, maybe that's a reminder of there's, there's, maybe there's more to come.  And that's why he keeps showing up at these, in these specific places. I mean, God, I wouldn't want to create a conspiracy around this. I mean, I think, you know, he's not, he's not trying to transmit anything particularly or move anything from person to person. I don't think that's what he's up to right now. But, but he, but he always shows up as some kind of symbol around a reminder of that kind of thing.  Talented guy. Yep. Talented guy. No, no, no. He's got it. Oh, great. I just think he had a great entrance and then couldn't have done a better exit. That's it. Yeah, exactly. Great. Why don't we throw it around the room real quick and everybody in 30 seconds or less, wrap up what they think about what we saw.  Well, you know, I think he had probably watched the presidential election was, it was an, I'm sorry, the presidential debate and was probably expecting something more like that, more to his taste. So, we only stuck around for a couple of minutes when all of that didn't happen and all of, you know, what he was expecting and then just went away as quickly as he came in. Chase, what do you got? So, we saw a lot of contempt, but we saw it for both sides, which is unusual, especially for Williams. But we saw him here maintaining a semi what looked to me like an unbiased thing, but he still voiced his opinions non-verbally with the facial expressions with the bodily expressions, but still he's still willing to criticize both sides, which I think is healthy and rational. Mark. Yeah. So look, I love to see Williams because and I love to see him in this context because it's great when he shows up at this kind of event. Most of the time you're just seeing Williams in the, in the window, you know, just on the windowsill, just kind of hanging out there and that can be disappointing. But when he shows up at this kind of event, I think it means something. So, so I was, you know, whatever you want to say about, was it a good exit? I'm always just happy to see him outside of the usual context of on a windowsill, you know, and by the bins. I'm going to go, I'm going to wrap up and say, and in my Thursdays, I'm going to say, I think he's community. I think it was there to communicate with Pence. I think at some point there, he was telling him something because you're seeing that look on his face and Greg can attest to that when you see that look with that drop jaw and you're listening and you start talking, you're sort of repeating what you're hearing. And I think that's what's going on. I think he's some no mean to start a conspiracy there again. But what I'm saying is, I think he's communicating with him. Maybe that's why he's there. I don't know. So, all right, but good. Yep. I think so. That was great. Yes. Thank you. Excellent. See you next time. Yeah. All right, Greg, you want to go first? Sure. So Kevin has or Williams has the best entrance of everybody hands down. Comes in with open movement, smooth fluid cadence, no bear. Okay. I'm sorry. I apologize. It's about a fault. Greg, you want to go first? Sure. So Williams has the best entrance hands down of all the people on the stage. Open movement, fluid, smooth cadence, no barriers, makes eye contact with everyone in the room and practically floats in. I'm sorry. Okay. I apologize. You got my fault. I can't make that contact. We're seeing the labium and that the pseudo trach trachy. I think that's the way you say it. Chase or correct me if I'm wrong in the libellum where he's going. Sorry. Okay. How do you guys just say it? I gotta just say it. Right. Sure. I said it when he starts that thing was like that he's good. Damn it.  I think somehow he's communicating. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It's purse. So that's that's indicating that he disagrees with what comma saying because he's looking right at her and the so sorry. All right. Chase, what do you got? So we're seeing this. You can do it as we see that something at one point it's purse to the I'm so sorry. No reason making that motion. The thing and when he puts stuff on his head that's when he's that's when he's getting ready to poop.


Don't tell Bungie or it might get nerfed. How's it going guys? My name's DPGeneric and I'd like to thank you for stopping by and checking out the video. If you do enjoy it, leaving a like really helps out and if you are new around here and enjoy daily Destiny 2 videos, be sure to subscribe.  If not, where have you been? If you ain't a hunter man, this might be news to you. I said at the start, ignore it, I'm 100% positive Bungie are aware of this and if they were to nerf it, it would happen with Shadowkeep either way. The point of them nerfing many aspects of the game is in reason of trying to get people to switch up the way they play and it's been like this since day one, they nerf the most popular things, both of the things to switch up the meta and rotate the way the game plays at, it's smart as it kinda in a way keeps things fresh. So with Shadowkeep and moving forward from there on in, instant reload matters are basically being removed from the game. The Titan's Rally Barricade, which at the moment instantly reloads your weapon as you can see on the screen now, but when Shadowkeep arrives it won't offer the same benefits, instead it just makes the reloading of your weapon much faster when you're standing behind the rally barricade. And this will be the exact same for the Warlock and the Lunarfication Rift Combots. Your reload won't be instant like it is on screen now. The way it is in-game now, but instead you will just get a much faster reload buff. And like I said, this is being changed for the main reason of Bungie trying to switch up the way we play and also force to leave the fact that the game is just way too easy at the moment, using strategies as such for maximum DPS and any given boss and like I said in the video covering the news the other day on these buffs and nerfs and so forth, every activity in the game right now is just a walk in the park due to certain strategies, 99% of said strategies involve a way to instant reload your weapon. So what happens when Shadowkeep arrives and this isn't a possibility? Instant reload is taken away and we lose vital seconds reloading our weapons while playing off against a boss. Well guys there is one other trick Bungie haven't mentioned and many other people just do not know about and it involves a Hunter. Yes the Hunter also has an instant reload trick, but because of the fact he isn't anywhere near as viable as the other two classes people forgot about it or have never even been aware of it. Now while state it only works for the character using this it doesn't buff other players in your team. Ok so under Hunter Nightstalker Middle Tree paired with the sealed Ahamkaro exotic gauntlets this is the new instant reload meta. Ok so how does this work you're wondering, while the sealed Ahamkaro grasps their intrinsic is nightmare fuel, melee hit reload equipped weapon. Now this perk works with any melee attack including the smoke bomb melee ability.  Now if you use a gambler's dodge with this dodging near an enemy then instantly restores your melee ability meaning you can throw another smoke bomb.  Meaning this constant loop of dodging and throwing that smoke bomb melee ability means you can have an instant reload just like what you get with the warlock and their lunification boots and their rifts and the titan rally barricade. Now like I said this will only work for said hunter using this. It will not work or buff any of your teammates. Now we ain't one for thoroughly testing out mods and how much they stack but the last time I did check I'm pretty sure the paragon mud stacks up to 5. If this isn't a way anymore be sure to leave a comment down below so others are aware. But yeah guys a new reload meta hunter master class. Also for the folks out there stating all these changes with armor 2.0 that's actually incorrect. The armors we have now included in the mods applied to them will still work alongside the armor 2.0 system. As confirmed by Bungie check it out on screen now. So popular question from all of the chat rooms that we're monitoring right now. We're going to have all these new mods to pick from. What does this do to the old mods? So we're not actually going to deprecate any of the old mods. You can hang on to them, you can keep using them. You can keep using your pre armor 2.0 armor as well it won't burst into flames or anything. So it'll still work. So this will work well into Shadowkeep people. And on that note we have come to the end of the video. If you guys enjoyed it leave it a like really helps out if you're new around to you and enjoy daily destiny 2 videos be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button. But guys thanks as always for stopping by hopefully you enjoyed the video and hopefully I will see you on that next one.


Everyone's favorite Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness captured fans as soon as the series aired, and I can tell you, well, because I'm a fan myself. Not only is he stylish with his fashion, but Jonathan seems to have great taste in homes too, from New York City to his latest property in Austin, Texas. Queer Eye's lead stars are called the Fab Five for a reason. Whether it's Antony, Caramo, Bobby, Tan, or Jonathan, you can bet that they're going to pull off some of the most remarkable transformations of everyday people that you've ever seen on Netflix. Of course, with a killer eye for fashion, glam, and design of all types, you'd expect these five men to live in some truly jaw-dropping homes themselves. And you'd be right. Take, for instance, Jonathan Van Ness, a self-described homebody. He once told People Magazine, I love to work and entertain, but the only time I really go out at night is if I'm doing stand-up, because I'm so busy that time at home is really important to my well-being. Well, what's his favorite way to cozy up? Oh, just by spending his evenings chilling at home with his cats. In fact, for a number of years, Jonathan lived in a pretty spectacular apartment located in the heart of New York City, one that was especially designed in many ways for his feline companion. Jonathan would live there until a business trip for the most recent season of Queer Eye would take him to Austin, Texas, where he would fall in love with the South while lockdown went on, eventually finding a place of his own and moving there soon after. Hey guys, it's Kara the Vampire Slayer back with another exclusive house tour here on Famous Entertainment, this time checking out the homes of one of my favorite reality stars, Jonathan Van Ness. Don't forget to like, hit that subscribe button if you haven't, and follow me on Instagram to chat. Now let's get into this video. Jonathan had already been living in New York City for some time when he finally decided that he needed a bigger place for his growing family. No, I'm not talking about John's husband Mark Peacock who he married during a private ceremony in spring of 2020. Instead, I'm referring to Jonathan's ever-growing collection of house cats. Around the time he decided to move, Jonathan already owned two cats when a new addition to his family would make this change. He told people, I needed a bigger apartment in Manhattan because I had two cats and then I adopted a kitten. I was really struggling as a cat father in a tiny NYC apartment and needed more space for the kid. Hitting the Big Apple's real estate market, Jonathan found himself a two-story loft near Manhattan's Highline Park. Thanks to his very busy schedule, Jonathan didn't have the time to view the place, but having checked out the home's unique layout and design on the internet, he knew that he couldn't pass up the opportunity to live there. And he moved in anyway.  Working together to complete Van Ness's vision, these two added checked curtains and cozy textiles to Jonathan's living room, which helped cultivate that cabin in the city feel. And because Jonathan feels most at home with his cats, they also worked hard to feline-proof the space in the living room. while maintaining as much of a sophisticated vibe as possible. For instance, while Jonathan really wanted a linen sofa, Maggie convinced him that a leather option would be more durable around his pet. Throw pillows were then added to help add some color and texture. Now, because the majority of this home is largely open-plan, that means the living room, dining room, and the kitchen all bleed into one. So, to help establish a visual anchor that separated one space from the next, Maggie also convinced Jonathan to create a gallery wall that shows off a series of art prints from her brand, All Modern. As for that kitchen, it's small but has a whole bunch of storage space, a stainless steel fridge, and most importantly, it's where Jonathan starts off every day with his first cup of coffee. Finally, upstairs in his bedroom, Jonathan and Maggie opted for warmer vibes set against a darker scheme with pops of color emanating from a somewhere over the rainbow art print that Jonathan once found at a flea market in LA. And because the room is quite small to begin with, Jonathan's mattress was placed on a high bed frame to allow for extra storage space when it comes to his seasonal outfits. Floating wall shelves were also incorporated to act as a nightstand to further optimize the space. Now, as you might have noticed, for many of these images, Jonathan's home, despite being rather small, is full of furniture. And while some people might see that as a fashion faux pas, Maggie believes the opposite to be true. She told people. People get confused by putting less furniture in a small space, but actually, the lack of furniture makes the space look smaller. Instead, focus on the layout. Furniture that's purposeful makes the space feel elongated, so don't be afraid to add additional seating in front of the sofa. Jonathan would continue to live in this apartment for a couple of years until he fell in love with his new home, located about as far away from New York City as it gets. Fans of Jonathan Van Ness might be surprised to find out that he's actually living in Austin, Texas these days after finding a place while shooting season 6 of Queer Eye. But trust me, when I say no one is more surprised by this change in address than he is himself. During an interview with self.com, Jonathan told them, I didn't expect to fall in love with Austin as much when we came here for shooting.  I had my four cats and was on this lake at an Airbnb and I was like, do I love Austin? Is this a liberal bastion in Texas? And it kind of is. I started exploring and was like, oh my god, I want to move here. Then I found a house and I loved it. So what kind of house did Jonathan find? Well, he hasn't exactly been shouting his location from the rooftops, but over on social media, we've seen more than a few examples of him showing off different areas of his new home. For instance, is one thing he definitely spends the most time doing out in Austin more than anything else, gardening. As for the rest of the house, well, it's anything but boring. Check out this lounge area which not only has been painted pastel pink, but also features some eye-pleasing blue and white striped carpets. Meanwhile, over in his living room, Jonathan's other fur baby, his puppy, loves to lay around on his pink velvet sofas with cute decorative pillows. Speaking of the living room, it appears to be quite large, featuring not only multiple couches for both humans and pets to lounge around, but also enough space for Jonathan to film his many Instagram clips. Of course, some of those dancing videos have also been recorded in Jonathan's kitchen, considering the fact that his open floor plan leads right from the living room and into his culinary space. Jonathan's Austin kitchen is honestly a huge improvement on his one from New York, with what I say is easily about five times the amount of space. But it still carries over the ample storage room and stainless steel appliances he had from the Big Apple. This former college cheerleader also made sure to decorate a whole bunch of his walls with some incredible abstract and vibrant art pieces, all of which were commissioned by local artists. There you have it. As you can see from these sneak peeks inside the homes of Jonathan Van Ness, he really does come by his killer eye for style and design quite naturally. He's also a man after my own heart when it comes to going out of his way to ensure that his fur babies are just as comfortable as he is in their new environment. What do you guys think about Jonathan's homes? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the comments down below. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and let me know if you'd like to see house tours on other members of the Queer Eye cast. I'll see you all in the next video. Bye!
