You're welcome back. It's still the plus politics and my name is Nyam Gul Agaddi. Before now we were talking about the fact that people are calling on the judiciary or the courts to open their doors so that the proceedings of the election tribunals could be televised and people get to know what is happening. And we had Tunji Abdulhamid on the show and also Ior was here. Both of them, Leonard gentlemen. But right now we're looking at the reaction to the 2023 elections. The EU observation mission on Monday faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for failing to live up to the expectations of Nigeria's electoral process. The chief observer, EU election observation mission Barry Andrews, in his preliminary statement of the EU EOM on the governorship and the state houses of assembly, elections set Nigerians hungered for democracy and were ready to be involved in the country's democracy. However, he noted the appetite was lost due to failures by the political elite and INEC. Joining us to discuss this is Michael Quadot and Kessia, International Relations Analyst. Good evening and welcome to the program. Thanks for having me. Okay. Well, expectations before and after the elections. Let's get to talk about that. Let me hear your comments. How you felt the pulse of Nigerians before the election and then after the election, especially the governorship election? Well, I believe the elections in particular were highly anticipated. Over here in Ghana there was so much public interest, especially among young people, young guardians about the likely outcomes of the Nigerian elections. And I must say that we are quite disappointed a bit with the voter turnout that we had in the presidential elections in particular, given Nigeria's large population size and the now total number of registered voters. It was very, very disappointing that we had less than 30% or so of registered voters actually turning up to cast their ballots. And of course, we were obvious or we were aware of the instances of delayed electoral material, specific attacks, intimidation, vigilantism, the use of tags and other criminal guns to disrupt the electoral process. Those were some of the disappointments that we witnessed in Ghana here because those are things that we are trying so hard and do so well to get rid of in Ghana's electoral system. We were hoping that our brothers, the sisters in Nigeria would emulate them, but unfortunately, we never saw it as such. And then we were quite impressed by the performance of the candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Kitahuni, in our political environment despite virtually an impossible task for a third force or independent candidate to challenge the two major political parties in Ghana. Just like Nigeria passing the dominance of the PPP and the APC since Nigeria's return to constitutional rule in 1999, Ghana has equalized or become the two parties between the incumbent or ruling new patriotic party and the positionaries. And people have been advocating civil society, the middle class so-called interest. They've been advocating for a third force, a force that can come out with a little bit of something, a new party, a new group of people with an ideology that differs from what is espoused by the two major political parties that we have in Ghana. And we are so, so impressed by the performance of Mr. Kitahuni, the Labour Party, although he did not win the presidential elections. Although we must also admit that it is still a disputed electoral outcome, which is going to be started by the courts, we believe that his performance was spectacular for a third force to emerge in the Pepsi-pair image of Nigerian politics. We believe that it was a very encouraging performance and, of course, that's one area that has Ghana to be learned from going into the next elections in 2024. We believe that the elections, it wasn't that peaceful. So we had incidents of a case of violence, and then there were also claims of boot-up fraud and order of allegations. So we believe, of course, it's yet to be decided on that. We believe that Nigeria has more to include when a candidate's election is going on. Okay, well, let's just take on some of the things that you said here. When we take the specifics, I'm sure that we are going to cover the little time that we have on the program today on this segment. Well, you made mention of the fact that Ghana was interested, and I'm sure it's not only Ghana on the African continent that was interested in our election, and then we also are concerned about the standing of a country like Nigeria in the international community and among other African countries after this election. So let's just take them one after the other. I know that you just talked about all these things broadly, but let's take them specifically. How do you think the outcome of this election will affect other African countries? First, democratically, the electoral outcome, Nigeria's electoral outcome is going to serve as an incentive to these so-called smaller political parties other than where neighboring West African countries are going across the African continent. And yes, even if it's happening in Nigeria, we can equally do it in our country. So it's going to serve as a moral booster for these third forces or smaller minorities, minority parties to come together and form a third force to challenge the status quo. It's also going to serve as a great motivation for people who have for years considered the thoughts or have on the thoughts of voting for a third party, but are not so confident in themselves that their votes can actually bring a third party, our only bring back third party to some level of national political prominence. So first, it is going to be the morale of political parties, and second, it is going to be the morale of individuals who are tired of the establishment. Individuals, the masses who are tired of the status quo, and it will serve as a very, very big incentive to join other smaller political parties and also become a third force in the unexpected political climate or environment. Aside from that, one thing is also very obvious. Nigeria's, I believe, should be a little bit grateful to a man like Peter Wooden. This is a candidate targeted young people in Nigeria. His message, listening to him almost every single day, resonated with the cry and warnings of young people in Nigeria. He talked about issues of corruption, issues of the lack of creativity among the public service, and then he talked about issues of sustainable development, issues of sustainable jobs for the young people of Nigeria. And these are some of the public issues that resonates with Nigeria's youthful population and also Africa's youthful population. Remember that more than 50% of the population fall within the youth bracket. And in this sense, they did their approach to target the youth in Nigeria well to perfection, and I believe other political parties should deal with it. In addition, beyond targeting the youth, we know that one easier game for one of the common platform for the youth across the globe is social media. And we saw not Peter Wooden as an individual, but how his supporters, campaigners, royalists were spreading his message almost every now and then on Facebook, on Twitter, on other social media platforms. It tells you about the growing influence of social media in Africa's political outcomes for elections and democracy. And in Ghana, social media has become the single most important to political communication and then consensus-building. Young people across the political divide are always engaging one form or another form of banter on social media predominantly created on Twitter, always arguing about government policies that are justizing governments, they are publicizing governments' achievements or they are praising governments' achievements. And remember during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the tools or medium that the president of Ghana could use so well in conveying his COVID-19 address to the nation or social media and see people waiting in thousands, 50,000 people, 100,000 people on the president's official Facebook account every Sunday just to listen to the president address the mission about the COVID-19 pandemic. People were no longer even watching TV and it tells political parties, political instructors and leaders on the continent that the youth of Africa are very much into social media if you strategize and plan well, you can execute it well. Social media is a very easy, accessible, common, albeit cheap platform or less affordable platform to reach out to young people who are desperate to power the political decision-making process. As an international relations analyst, I'd like to ask you this. Some Nigerians are worried that the outcome of the election is not as much as was expected, especially by the international community and the worry is that it may erode the respect that Nigeria had in the Committee of Nations. Do you think there is really something to fear that much about Nigeria losing its respect in the international community or do we still have some hope? Well, that is a very interesting assertion from the young that are in some interest in assertion. First, for the international community, even Nigerians themselves, to doubt the authenticity of the electoral outcome or the electoral process, it must first begin with a clear, indisputable evidence of various forms of electoral practices that were captured either way. That have been captured by a variety where a wide range of electoral observers, as I indicated earlier, the outcome of the Nigerian election is still being contested in courts. And I will be very, very happy. Ghana set the precedence in 2012 when we allowed the camera into our courtroom. That was the first time in the history of our country that a court case was telecasted live or carried live on national television and various social media platforms for everybody to see what was happening in the courtroom and whether the super delegations for electoral practices and fraud were actually perpetrated to aid the electoral victory of one candidate over the other. And I believe that I am praying I don't know whether that process has already begun. I'm praying that the Nigerian Chief Justice or Judicial Service in Nigeria the Chief Justice would allow camera into the courtroom so that the whole world would know whether the allegations of voter recognition and fraud as alleged by the Liberal Party, as alleged by the PDP, the Progressive Development Party and then PDP and then as alleged by other smaller political groups like the Congressional Party and MPP in Nigeria whether all those allegations both substance or the idea the issues that the petitioners can naturally in a court of law if they are able to do so, of course it is going to put a lot of credibility questions on Nigeria's emerging democracy and it is going to put a lot of doubt on the credibility of Nigeria's independent national electoral commission. However, Pellua by both party, the Labour Party or by Atticus Party, the PDP to prove beyond all reasonable doubt in any competent court of jurisdiction that indeed there were electoral practices there were voter fraud things were initiated to aid the electoral victory of Ola Amethini by the all progressive supporters if they failed to do that then I feel that Nigeria's democracy would stand on and the world would know that indeed the elections were free and fair. So for the international community or Nigeria themselves to do that doubts the authenticity of the results under my quality to have some form under my confidence in Nigeria's democracy it very much depends on what the petitioners will be able to prove in court to show to the whole world whether the elections will record it and in that process and by whatever form of judgment or benefit that we made I believe that should be the basis for a very very thorough analysis of the impact of the outcome of the US elections on the country's democracy. Michael, I'd like to thank you for that and we do hope that Nigeria the giant of Africa as we like to call ourselves and the entire West African sub-region will be better than it was a long time ago maybe 10 years ago, 5 years ago because of our political climate if it changes the leadership changes the commitment to leadership changes and everything changes and then the people will be happy. I do hope that we'll get there one day. Thank you so much for coming on the program today Michael. Thank you very much. Okay, we've been talking with Michael Ketzia an international relations analyst talking to us from Ghana on plus politics today. We do hope that you had a wonderful time watching from the entire crew of plus politics. My name is Yamgul Agadji saying bye for now.


Welcome to today's edition of Frightfully Forgotten Horror Movies, but to start things off, what are we drinking today? Fire in the Sky, Rye. Today we're finally covering a movie that several people have asked us to cover so we're going to do it and that is 1981's The Boogins. This one was directed by James Conway and he's done mostly TV and Marie Martin is in this and she's in a couple of horror movies that we've got to mention, Prom Night and she's uncredited in Halloween too. Fred McCarron is in this and also Rebecca Baldings is in this too. Baldig? The Boogins starts off with opening credits, which you have to pay attention to because it's all these newspaper clippings about this mine back in the late 1800s. Town strikes it big, hundreds flee to town to mine, cave-in miners trapped, miners found dead, mine closed. There's a company pulling up in a truck called Syndicated Mines and they are hired to basically reopen this mine to veterans and there's two newbies on the crew and that is Mark and Roger. They go into the mine and the map we have is an even current, you know.  You can see this lady driving up the highway, a deer comes out and she swerves to miss the deer, goes into the ditch, walks back and we find out that she's opening up this house to be rented to miners who are coming in from out of town. She has to spend the night there because her car is in the ditch. There's also this old man that's beginning to hang in around the mine and then he's also at that house. She hears kind of something in the basement. Something grabs her and drags her into the basement. This is the location Jessica driving up to this town and they are the girlfriends of Mark and Roger, all going to be living in this house together. And they've got their dog. Tiger. Tiger.  Roger and Mark get off work for the day. One of them has to drive out that night to go get these plans and it wrecks his plans and getting with his lady for the first time in eight days and he's saying eight days, it's been eight days. They're hoping to maybe get a little hanky-panky in but Tiger is all in the way. So they go out to a bar and they have a couple of beers, play some pool.   You're better than I am. At this point, Roger goes back to the house to try and get some sleep.   So he goes into the garage to get into the truck. There's something that whacks him into like big cabinet or something. He gets dragged under the truck and that's it. The next morning, Mark goes to the mine. The mine is all boarded up and there's like three crosses in the front and there's like a warning. Jessica is back at the house. The dog's kind of barking and he sees like, the dog sees like these claws are like tentacle things come through the grates, snatches the dog.  Finally, dog finally got it. Yeah, Jessica comes out. These tentacles grab her right from through that grate and grab her arm. Meanwhile, back at the mine, they kind of notice something that's floating in the lake or like this pond thing and it's Roger and he's all like faces all torn up. Yeah. The old man that's been hanging around is finally down there with them and he's got dynamite. You know, there's something down here. He wants to collapse the mine and finally rid the area of whatever this monster is. The boogins. Yeah. So if you want to see what happens with the miners and the old man with the dynamite, yeah, keep watching. There's a lot more to go. This movie is actually really, really good. It's a slow paced movie, but that's just fine because it's never gets boring and that's because of the characters and the dialogue are so good. Yeah. It's all the character development and stuff that really makes this movie move along nicely. The characters are really like you really believe that they're friends and really a tight knit unit. Funny where it needs to be, but not campy funny. Exactly. Just natural funny. The comedy works in the context of the scenes and the movie as a whole, right? And it's not shoved in your face. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like normal banter. Just like you and me would run into the situation. It's also an intriguing movie because they tease you a lot. There's a lot of teasing. Like you never really see the monster. You don't really know what's up with this mind. So there's a lot of mystery here that keeps you watching it.    But it's neat because the dog is like part of the cast. It's a character in the movie that you kind of either root for or you hate him. It's kind of like the jokester character from all these slashers, like Shelley from Friday the 13th, part three. It's kind of annoying, but you kind of feel you kind of like him at the same time. And when he finally does die, you're kind of like, ah. Yeah, yeah. And everybody else kind of hates him, too. They're sort of annoyed by him. But when he disappears, you're kind of upset, right? Yeah, they love him, yeah. Exactly. They love him, but he's annoying, you know? And he gets a lot of screen time this dog. He does, yeah.  He gets up to a lot of shenanigans. And once you're eating my shoes, and as soon as I leave, the dog goes for the shoes right away. He's a well-trained dog, I must say. Yeah, whoever, like, whatever dog did the movie was great. Like, it did everything perfectly. Yeah, yeah. One of the nicest things about this movie is the production value feels top notch. The setting, too, is like beautiful, like the mountains. And then when they show the caves and everything with the water, it's like, wow, this is a nice looking movie. The effects, like even the monster effects, are pretty good. And they're so simple, right? They don't need to be super good, because they don't show tons of the monster.  Yeah, it's like, OK, that's a little silly. You have to temper that with not showing it, because if you show too much, it gets ridiculous. They did a really good job of teasing the monster. And every time someone encounters the monster, it gets killed, they show a little bit more. Finally, towards the end, you don't see the full monster ever, but you see like the face, finally, you know? What is this? Yeah. Is it an alien? Is it some weird creature from prehistoric times? You don't really know. That's maybe my one misgiving about the movie. And I normally don't like a lot of backstory in movies. But I kind of wish they would have went a little bit more into what the minors had found like 100 years ago and what they maybe thought that it was. I kind of like that you don't know what it is, though. It does. It works, though. It helps with the mystery. Yeah. And the sounds that the thing makes, like when you don't see it, and you just see there's like a lot of POV shots of what the monster sees. Yeah. Yeah, so you know he's around. You know he's a mean fucker, too. That's why movies like this work so well. Like they probably don't have the biggest budget in the world. They probably couldn't build the whole monster. You build part of it. Yeah. And then you just show that little part in the rest of all POV and less is more in this case, right? Yeah, exactly. The actors acting out what the monster looks like, right? Because they're terrified.  Yeah. Yeah, the reaction to the monster is so good where you don't need to see it. Exactly. It's a surprisingly good movie for a movie called The Boogins. Yeah, I think. You expect it to be just pure cheese, right? But it's not. So I guess that's it. And if you've never seen 1981's The Boogins and have kind of put it away because the name is kind of cheese, watch it anyways, because it's a great little watch. It's a lot of fun. You're not going to be disappointed. It's a very enjoyable movie.  Until next time. Keep drinking.


Thank you. Thanks for the kind introduction. So today's lecture was gonna be about cobaltisms and cobaltism categories. I hope it will be quite elementary. So let's start from the definitions. I think cobaltisms have been mentioned earlier in this summer school, but let me just tell you what I mean, so it's the usual picture. There's an incoming and an outgoing boundary, and then the cobaltism itself. So just to emphasize what's part of the data, cobaltism from M0 to M1. So these are, should be closed, D minus one manifolds. Closed in these lectures means compact and no boundary, not necessarily connected. Cobaltism is a smooth manifold, smooth compact D manifold, and then the boundary should be identified with M0 disjoint union M1, and the identification is part of the data. For technical reasons, it's better to have a little color around the boundaries. So let's say, let's write C in for the incoming color. So zero infinity cross M0 into W, and C out for the outgoing boundary. So two smooth embeddings with a property that the boundary of W is what it should be, C out, and these should have disjoint image. So the official definition is these three pieces of data, this one, this one, and that one. By the way, I was promised that the notes for this talk should be up on the app, I haven't checked it, but like as of 20 minutes ago or so, they ought to be there. So all of what I say should be in there. So it's this triple, W, C in, C out. A more classical notion is being co-bordant, M0 and M1 are co-bordant if there exists a co-bordant. And just to say where this whole theory came from, in case you hadn't heard it, this is a famous paper of René Tom, defined notation of his paper, Curly N subscript D, the set of co-bordant classes of closed D manifolds. Maybe my indexing I should like D to be the dimension of the co-bordism, so we should say it like this. Then if you take the direct sum of all of those, you get a graded ring. Addition comes from disjoint union, product comes from a Cartesian product of smooth manifolds, and also two is equal to zero. The unit in this ring is the class of a point. If you take the disjoint union of that with itself, it's co-bordant to the empty set. The empty set is an allowed manifold, and an interval is a co-bordism from two to zero. And Tom's famous theorem is that this ring is isomorphic to a polynomial ring over the field with two elements. In one generator in each degree, except those that are of the form two to the k minus one. So that completely determines this question of classifying manifolds up to co-bordism. Okay, so that's where the whole thing came from. But what we'll talk about in these lectures is not so much whether things are co-bordant, but if you have some co-bordant things in how many ways are they co-bordant? So call that cop d m zero m one. Well, okay, you can't say the set of co-bordisms because that's not a set. You can say the set of diffeomorphism classes of co-bordisms from m zero to m one. This is gonna be empty if that is not co-bordant, but otherwise they're presumably more than one way to be co-bordant. For example, in this dimension two picture, this would be a different reason. Then take this up to diffeomorphism of co-bordisms, which means diffeomorphism preserving, okay, so let me say what that means. So if I have w c in, c out, and w prime, c in, c out, then I wanna declare them diffeomorphic as co-bordant, as co-bordisms if they exist at diffeomorphism, w to w prime, that preserves these colors at least kind of if you restrict up to like epsilon. So let's add phi of the color, say the incoming at t comma x is c in prime, t comma x for all t comma x in say zero epsilon cross m zero, some epsilon and the same condition at the outgoing. Of course at some point you might then go on and keep track of the reasons that diffeomorphic, co-bordisms are diffeomorphic, but right now we'll just take the set of diffeomorphism classes of co-bordisms. It's important that we don't say diffeomorphism classes of objects, but on the co-bordisms themselves, we say diffeomorphism classes. This set has some structure, namely you can compose co-bordisms, which is incidentally the proof also that being co-bordant is an equivalence relation. Again, as usual, if I have a co-bordism from here to there and another one that starts where this one ends, then I glue them together to a co-bordism from there to there. So in the notes, I write this as, okay, so I mean it's often written something like this. So if w is a co-bordism from m zero to m one, w prime from m one to m two. Okay, so I'll probably start omitting these incoming and outgoing parametrizations from the notation, but it's part of the data. So I might write just w for this dribble w c and c out, but I mean slob in notation. So this means take the disjoint union and then identify the outgoing boundary of this with the incoming boundary of that. So that's what this gluing means. So that's what you do is, so I do this on the set level. So this is what I do for the underlying tribological space. And then you have to explain what the smooth structure is and you use the colors for that to say what you do at the gluing points. So, or I mean there are many ways to say something different morphic to what I say, but what I said in the notes is you do this on the underlying tribological space. And if you want a chart around a point that's glued, you take a chart in m one and then you glue the color in this direction to the color in this direction. So if this is parameterized by u, that sits inside our d minus one, then you get something parameterized by r cross u. And that's what you do on the glute points and outside the glute points you just take a chart on either w or w prime. That kind of sits canonically inside this. And that gives you smooth manifold with boundary. Then you forget what the chart you had in the middle and then use c in and c out. And then you take that's a cabotism from m zero to m two. Call this w double prime, m s c in, m s c out, prime. Cabotism from m zero to m two. Okay, so that's how to prove that being cabotined is an equivalence relation. But it's also, I mean, it's kind of obvious that if I replace w by something that's diffimorphic as a cabotism, then the glute manifolds are again diffimorphic as cabotisms. So that's a well-defined composition map. Cobb d m zero m one, cross-cobb d m one, m two. Two-cobb d m zero, m two. Okay, it's of course important that I say diffimorphic as cabotism's here. Otherwise, this would not be well-defined. This is a well-defined map of sets. It's also associative. So this is about composing three cabotisms. If you have w, w prime, and w double prime, then the class of w glued along m one to w prime glued along m two, w double prime. This cabotism is diffimorphic as cabotisms so if you do it in the other order, you can read this, especially if you're in the back. Okay, associativity, you know what that means. Okay, let me write it. So to check this, you have to check these gluings are diffimorphic rail endpoints. They most likely are not equal cabotisms because the underlying sets are not equal, but they are diffimorphic in a canonical way. That's associativity. The last thing is you have identities for this composition, namely the diffimorphism class of say an interval is a cabotism that acts as an identity. If you have any cabotism and you glue an interval cross either incoming or outgoing boundary, you get something that's diffimorphic to what you started with. So that's the axioms for being a category. That's the cabotism category. The d-dimensional on-oriented cabotism category. Have to note a cop d. You should also say smooth. Can imagine other variants with topological manifolds and whatnot. Okay, a tiny comment, something I won't dwell on. If you know what a small category is, it means there should be a set of objects and a set of morphisms. If I really take all, okay, so the objects here will be all smooth closed d-minus one manifolds. It's probably better to say that the underlying set should be a subset of some big set so that you have a set of objects. But up to equivalence of categories, that does not matter. Okay, that's the cabotism category. There are lots of fancy versions of this where you have to talk about higher category theory and whatnot. I might briefly touch on that at some point, but not really. I think most of my lectures will be just ordinary categories with, I think, fancy. And this is the kind of most down-to-earth version of the cabotism category. The topic of these lectures is what can you say about a category, a small category, like the cabotism category, from the classifying space of the category. So a classifying space of a small category, C. So small as a set means a set of objects, you can. Okay, probably heard that before. Like the category of sets is not small because there's no set of all sets, but. So you have a small category. There's a topological space that I write BC. That's usually defined in two steps. First you take the nerve of C and then you take the geometric realization of that. Where the nerve of C is a simplicial set, the P-simplicers, we didn't heard it, NP of C. It's the set of P-tables of composable morphisms. So the target of F1 should be the source of F2 and so on. Let me abbreviate that to F1 composed with up to Fp. Exists. And zero just means the objects. And one means the set of all morphisms in C. So on. And geometric realization means disjoint union NP of C cross the standard P-simplex, modular sum equivalence relation. But okay, it's, you start with a point for each object. Then you glue on an interval like a one-simplex for each morphism, attach it to the start and end points. Whenever you have a triangle, F, G and H, you fill it out if H is equal to the composition of F and G. If H is equal to G plus F, et cetera. So G comma F, in that case, is gonna be an element in N2 of C, and that gives a two-simplex. And then you keep going, filling out higher and higher simplices. So that gives a topological space associated to the category. Eventually I of course wanna take B of the cabotism category. But let me first discuss in the abstract how much of a category can you recover if you know the classifying space. I want something like how much of a category up to equivalence of categories can you recover from knowing the classifying space up to homotopic equivalence. Something of that flavor. It's a topological space. Yeah, likewise C is not an equivalence class of categories. So okay, so this is how to turn a category into a space. In the other direction, I can turn a space into a category, namely the fundamental group point that I'm gonna denote pi one of X. So it's a category, it's actually a group point. The objects are just the points of X and the morphisms from one point to another are the homotopy classes of paths starting here and ending there. X, X, Y is paths up to homotopy rail end point. Composition is concatenation of paths which is associated up to homotopy rail end point and all paths are invertible up to homotopy rail end point. The automorphism group of a point is just the usual fundamental group based at that point but this kind of encodes. It encodes both all the fundamental groups and pi zero X into one object. Consider this as some sort of partial inverse to the other process or that kind of point of view that will be helpful in these lectures. More precisely, if I start with a small category turn it into a space and then take fundamental group point of that space and there's a canonical functor from where I started to where I ended. So by definition of BC it contains as a subspace the set of objects. So objects of C by definition is the zero simplices of BC that sits inside as a discrete subspace. So that's what this functor does on objects. Send an object there to the corresponding point in BC regarded as an object in the fundamental group point. On morphisms, so if I have F and C, X comma Y. By the way, I'm using this notation to mean the harm set in C from X to Y. The way BC is constructed, the one simplices are precisely the morphisms. So for each morphism there's a canonical path from X to Y by definition. So I send this to the corresponding one simplex. So I guess it would be, so this sets inside N one of C. So strictly speaking, the notation would be something like F cross delta one. And then you parameterize this as interval. This canonically maps to BC. The path starting at X and ending at Y. So that's what this canonical functor does on morphisms. Then to check that it's a functor, I have to check that it preserves composition. But that's what the two simplices do. If I compose these, I get that one. And this concatenation is homotopic to that one. The two simplices is what makes gamma functor preserving composition. Okay, now it's likely not an equivalence of categories. For example, this thing is always a groupoid. So if this thing is not a groupoid, then it can't be an equivalence. For example, if you have like the most trivial example of a non-groupoid category, two objects and one morphism between them, one non-identity morphism, then BC is homomorphic to just an interval. So the fundamental groupoid is gonna be trivial, whereas this is not a trivial category. But that's in some sense the only problem. There's a, okay, not prove it, but it's kind of a standard proof. If C is a groupoid, then gamma, an equivalence of categories. So no information is lost in that case. By going from C to BC, you can get C back up to equivalence by taking fundamental groupoid. Sure many of you have seen that. Especially in the case if the category has only one object, then being a groupoid is the same as being a group. Then BC is the usual construction of Islandburg McLean Spaces, K-Pi-1. And this just becomes a statement that you can get the group back by taking Pi-1 of.


We're live. Hey y'all we're just jumping into it today because Jeff's working on a piece. And six o'clock snuck up on us. And surprise it's six o'clock so. I was going to put some lights behind it but these are really, they don't blow that much. I do have one left on those TV lines. One left. I can just put a strip from there to there on back and then I'm going to switch down there. Good. Hey ginger, I'm sorry you're doing. Sorry for the mess. This is a live studio. Well it doesn't have to be this trashed. You have to have room to do stuff. Alright so thanks for joining, thanks for joining. Currently people are into this stuff. Yeah what I did is I made a stencil of these little guys, these little Pokémon guys.  So I just did the white first. This is neat so that I can put the color down to haze. You know, like I'll take the airbrush and go like yellow. I'll probably do yellow for him and then maybe like a little blue hat or something. And I'll do it, I'll do it kind of concentrated but make it kind of hazy at the same time.  It's going to look amazing. I believe so ginger. Is this the skateboard ginger scent? No, that one's a little smaller. If I do something on that I'm going to keep it. This is for sale. Hey Jude, we've missed you too. Ida, hello Megan. So if you haven't noticed, there is a background that I painted on here. I don't think it's really visible. You can't see it.  I hope you youths are having a great day. You youths?  A youth? No, a youth is a youth. Doesn't mean any back of illness. That was my next guess. Alright, so what my plan is now, figure out what colors or what. I think your squirtle is supposed to be blue. Yeah, there's like certain little, oh, so if you guys can see this, the word Pokemon is in there in the background. They can kind of see it there. Moon Spoon says it's looking good so far. Which dragon is that? That is a Charizard. They're all three Pokemon characters. Hello Ms. Dunley. Bananas. I think Jeff's looking up a reference. How are you going to color the inside? They're not. This is just going to be neon. They're going to look like they're made of neon. This little guy I'm worried about just because his outline is so thick that we'll deal with that. I think I can make up for all these guys with the paint pen. The squirtle's a chunky turtle anyways.  No, I have. Moon Spoon says that's going to look bad. Megan said you should do a Star Wars one eventually. Orange? He doesn't have wings yet in that picture. What is he? It's just a baby? Oh, here he is. He's like in between. He's like red. The Char?  All of them look like, maybe I'll just do dark orange, yellow, and then blue. Hey Melissa, I have a red iron on the outside. Do you have an orange this? No. That's going to look really cool, Gingerms. Thank you, Theresa. Hello, Suzanne. Do you want me to turn this to you? No. Alright, so... Lobster. Oh, that's the color you think he is. What paints are you using? Golden. He's going to use golden airbrush paint. All he has on there now is, is that the Molotow White? Here's the yellow. Is that Conmar Yellow? I think Lobster is a good name for what that color is. Do you want a bite? Oh, sorry, are you thirsty? Theresa, our day was amazing. How is yours? So he stenciled this on and now he's going to make it glow with airbrush. This really needs to be cleaned. Do you want me to get you another airbrush? No. But Lobster would have been good, Denise. Gabe says you have to catch them all. Gabe, do you want to go to the car show with us Saturday? And then we get to go, there's an after party at Crowley's. Which glow paint is Jeff using? He's not using a glow paint. However, it would look interesting if he did. He's just going to make it glow with a paint technique. It's driving me insane. It's like, you'll get it. It's like the paint. Super thick.  Good day to you, sir. I can hear that. I can hear it. I can hear it. I know, aren't those yellow eyes something else? I don't know why, because I don't know. Right, ten? For sure. Yes, so right now he's just going over the line, say he's already drawn out. And because it's airbrush, it's going to leave a little bit of, like, an overspray. Hey, Carol. We are well, thank you. Now you're dusting a haze. Yeah, to make it more flow more. I'm going to put a little bit of fluorescent yellow in here, just to make it pop a little more. Hi, Donna Parker. I might take that yellow paint pen. I'll put sauce down. Hi, Tara. Squirtle, Pikachu, Charizard. You knew them all. That would have been a good question. Who are these characters? Do you want me to pull up references? You're going over it with the same yellow, or are you adding the neon color? I'm just, I'm trying to make the line a little bit more bolder. Put up Shane. Hello, JJ. Sorry I must have started, Jeff. Paint the images on the board, or are they transferred? So he made a stencil, and then painted off of the stencil. Charmalion. Yup, Charizard. Tara, thank you. I don't have the button. He said, wow, Jeff, that's steady hand. He really does. He knows what he's doing with that airbrush, for sure. Have you guys ever tried airbrush? I think I should have, I should have taken the yellow pen and made a, like, outlined it, and then did the airbrush over that. Do you want a yellow pen? No, I'm going to let this all dry. I don't want to go over that. That's exactly right, baby cake. Is there a fluorescent Posca? I'm sure there is, but I don't know. There it is. Also, I'm pretty sure. There's a yellow on the left. Let's have some. I have a nephew that's nuts over Pikachu. He's in his 20s. He's still a huge fan of Pikachu. My son is 27, and he's all about it. That's what he got me into it. You did. Alright, so this guy is just all blue, and then he's got a tan. A tan shell. Do you want it?  This just poked my heart. Awesome, guys. Hello, Elspicy. I'm glad you like. Is that a skateboard or a snowboard? This is a skateboard. You're painting a snowboard. It'll be fun. So much real estate. Hey, B, can you move that camera on your left hand just here? Step and O. Step. Is there a specific paint you have to use for airbrush? I use golden. It's perfect for airbrush. But we've put alcohol inks. We've put watered down acrylics. As long as it's really, really, really thin and doesn't have very many large particles, it should go through an airbrush just fine depending on the size. Cone? Needle. Cone? Depending on the size of cone you have. Hello, Clara. She says I see a little Pokemon influence here. What? Where? Lies. Liz says, hey, I bought a skateboard bling class here, so I have no idea what to do with it. I think Jeff's had this one for about three years, two or three years. Yeah. Sometimes it takes a little bit to know what you want to do with it. She says I have a compressor and everything needed waiting to find a tutor to magically appear and show me the airbrush away. Still recouping. That's what YouTube is for. Just get on YouTube and look. How did you prep the board? I just sprayed it black. With a flat spray paint? This one is prepped with just spray paint. It's not meant to be used, so it... If you were going to make this a functional board, you would have to do a lot more to it, I feel like. I don't know what color to do that. His shell. Should I just do them all blue because it's just a blue character? Well, he could choose hat all yellow. Yeah. They're neon. What made you choose these specific characters? Because they're popular and they just, I think they look good together. Like they're all little babies, right? They're younger. And essentially, they're primary colors that you're about to do. Red, blue, yellow. That's true, Jim Germs. What? It's just like popped it. The thing with this is you have to do it like right on. You can't get squiggly lines until it throws off the... The illusion? Yeah. What are the pens? These ones are Molotow. The neon ones are by Molotow. They're out of Germany. And then he's also going to use Aposca. I think the blue one was Aposca. I believe that's exactly what she meant, Liz. Thank you, Clara. Should I put resin on this? It's so difficult because of that arc. How many of you guys out there put resin on a skateboard? If I could hook your board up to a tumbler turner. No, that's exactly what I was thinking when it started. I was like, if we can just have a big turner. Everyone agrees that it really made him pop with that paint pen. And I think he's also going to put white in the middle of the paint pen line. The side camera? Liz says, ooh, are you doing the neon signs thing? Yes, ma'am. Oh my God. My hand rolled. And it made me go, ooh. It's not noticeable though. Luckily, it's like in the shape of a wire. There's a guy that makes resin skateboards, longboards. He's in a stonecoat group, I think. Yeah. They're really nice looking. It's got a dry... I don't know what. I should do him with this, with orange. And then, yeah. I don't know why you didn't let them see your ninja moves. Because I would have sneezed all over my skateboard. Hello Valerie. I've got to get an extra large cutting board for this. If you guys joined us, we're doing a skateboard Pokemon. If you can see in the background there. Pretty cool, right? Can't see it at all. It just kind of blends in, doesn't it? You can kind of see it. Hello there, Evelyn. Where is it? Are you going to make the turtle and the dragon glow like the Pokemon? Yeah. I should have done this first. Evelyn says it looks good. Denise says it's a super shiny wood floor. Is it super shiny wood floor, a Sweden finish or resin? Or is it Swedish, varnish resin? Denise, I have no idea. I have so many ideas. I really wouldn't mind doing this again, but with all black. Black on black. Like, do all the characters. Shiny. Black. Do this through matte, or a true matte. This spray paint, it says it's ultra matte. Ultra flat. And this is almost semi-glossy. It's terrible. Stefano, are you going to get one of those Walmart box sets? Those things are going to go fast and they're going to be worth a lot of money in about a month. They're only $100. There's a gold and black box set. Like, I want one to open, but I want one to keep. That's possible. Jude says, I'm not sure I can watch anything anymore except y'all. I'm glad you're here, Jude. Hey, Diane. She says, I did a Pokemon table. I'll send you a pic of the top of the resin. The rest of the table and chairs are still drying. I would love to see that. It might be the same guy I've shown. Does anybody make any money off the GameStop Robin Hood thing? Anyone? Anyone? I only know about it because my friend Johnny Bluejacket is all into that. He was talking to me like I understood it and I'm like, dude, I literally have no idea what you're talking about. I think that looks good. It's going to look amazing. All right, so let's make some orange for this guy. We're going to mix this bright yellow and a little bit of red. Hopefully that'll work. Jeff, have you seen the Mosu Black? It's supposed to be the darkest black paint. I think that's Japan and quite expensive. Yeah, it's pretty cool. It does look pretty cool. That's the company that's having all the drama. Like, you can use my paint. Yeah. That's so ridiculous. I need my mixer. I need my mixer. It should be right there.  I'm selling my pieces. Congrats on selling your pieces. Orders are always fun, but we're here for you either way. Arlene says, that's glowing. Oh, thanks, Emma. She said I love my ATV bids and coffee in the morning. I hope it's a beautiful morning. Good thing. Sounds good, Clara. What is it that you're using? What's that? It's a paint mixer. Just a little paint mixer. I don't want to get it. I don't want it to splash on there. I'm trying to make like a bright orange. It's kind of working. Hi. I keep saying that in my head.  Hi. Hello. Poncha Valley. Poncha Valley, what's up? Y'all, he sent me a picture of myself when I was in when I was painting a school bus. It was a party bus and it was like 2003. I appreciate that, dude. That was awesome. Definitely a flash from the past. He said he had some of that darkest black if he wanted to try it. He says he had some of that darkest black if he wanted to try it. I would love to. I don't know what I would do with it though. I really like paint like a figure or something what I would really like to do.  You guys, you got to check out Poncha Valley. He does amazing, amazing portraits and murals. He's doing a lot of movement murals. A lot of Black Lives Matter. A lot of portraits. You got to go check him out. Poncha Valley, put your website up. Just don't put www or .com and people will know that's your website. Just don't put the .com. Yeah, it'll flag it. Or we can get one of the mods to put it. Or whatever you like. Whatever you're... He's on Facebook, so I don't think it'll bump it. But no one on Facebook will see it. I mean no one on YouTube will see it. I'll have to copy it over later. It just brings back memories. My son was in his Pokemon year. It's Squirtle, Pikachu, and Charmander. That's correct. Do you have any cards still? Jeff, where's one? I see them. Also, Clara, can you bring those cards to Rhonda? I've got to put some white in this. It's not glowing. It's not opaque at all. I don't know what I was thinking. I might have to just let it dry a little bit. Clara, that is a beautiful sunset. It's already pitch black here. I need to put some... Well, at least the glow is working well. So let's put some white in there. Hello. Who would think I'm drunk? Oh my God, it's just foam. It makes stuff so much. I think we're going to go to the beginner one. The next one that she asked me. Do you want to know what the dates are? The 16th? It's working a little bit better. Ooh. It's Squirtle. Yeah, I don't know why I did that. It was like my trigger was stuck or something. My grandson is an international champion in Pokemon. He is important. But I'm not surprised that you mentioned that. Ponchi Belly says a couple of my friends have mentioned you as the person that did first airbrush on their low rider, or the person that painted their first party bus salute. Bro. That's so rad. I did a lot of murals on cars. And done a no-cliff. They're wearing 19th and 20th. I think we can make the 19th of February class. Let's plan for that one. I'm going to go back inside of this with that glow pin. That glow pin, yeah. It'll really make it pop. I'm going to dump this paint on here more. She says awesome, Jeff. Ms. Leaphold asks, do you skateboard, Jeff? I do. I don't do tricks anymore, but I do skateboard. We have a couple of long boards, a couple ramp boards and cruisers. We have two J.J. made us a big old lanyard. He loves to chase Jeff while he's on skateboard. She said I thought you might. He's a turtle? So is he in water? No, he's a squirtle, and he's not in water. He's walking around trying to get you to not catch him. It's so crazy. All that black has just covered up. I mean, Shane, sorry. Yeah, I'm sure in the shadows. I thought you got a dot of paint on the top next to the squirtle. I'm going to go over this with the red Yeah. with the red airbrush paint. Like the transparent. I'm thinking about making like some lightning around them. Like just to kind of fill in the spaces. What do you think? You're going to go over with the red? No. Oh. Let's just throw them out. Let's do this guy. Everyone saying hello, Bamp. How is your head? How is it going? If you're listening, which I'm sure you're listening. Boy, the kids are going to love this. I agree. Also, some adults. Hopefully, an adult at this card convention. My friend Corey is going to get me said that we can sit with them in their booth or go with them and hang out. I can bring this up there and hopefully somebody will want to buy it. Oh, the Pokemon, DFW Pokemon. That's who's going to put the booth that we're going to be in. Nice. Maybe you put an ATD sticker on Pikachu's hat. Maybe. Where would I want to do that? One, two, three. You could put a cookie ball in the blank space. I think I'm going to go in this with orange and then do that red. So that it glows. I'm going to let that dry a little more. I feel like it's tugging a little bit. It feels like it might be. All that work to make that Pokemon is that you can't see it. I wonder if we could spray clear over it. It will make it pop. I think it's going to blend in because then it's all shiny. All glossy. I'll never use that. Gloss spray paint or anything. Let's make some light blue glow. It looks really good, Dan. I only said this looks so fun. Is it a commission? No. It's a piece that I want to do for this card show this weekend. Hello, Van. Thank you, Emma for sharing the link. Hello, Manuel. Is that Manuel? Dan says those look electrifying. I agree. Send me some reference photos, Dan. Did you see that? Did you see that? I think that I can wipe this off. I think I can wipe it off with alcohol. You don't think the alcohol will take the paint off? Maybe just water then. It's water-based paint. And if anything, I'll utilize it. I don't have a spilt paint. No, especially for something like that. You look like you've raced it. No, it's fine. All right. TG, hello. Just got back from a donut run. I would love to slide. Is that spray paint? I'd love donut right now. This must be really dirty. That's bad. Valerie says hello and this is looking awesome, Jeff. Thank you. Confession and make. I got stuck trying to pig and mix colors for the painting I'm doing. Okay. One time we thought about putting out a paint by number series. Clara, thank you. Will you be a buzzer? Clara gave me $20 and said thanks to bringing up the great memories of With My Nephew with all the Pokemon stuff. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Really appreciate that, Clara. I'm going to go on the inside of this with that blue color too. What bright is it? That's pretty interesting. All those aren't... there. You received a message on TikTok. Thank you, Clara. I think we are going to do like Pokemon art like a halo card inspired piece to dance as so cool. Yeah, that's what I'm really looking forward to doing that. Like doing just a flood of halo and big chunky glitter and a drive and painting on top of that. I know they would go bananas for that at online. Oh, what is the deal?  Mr. That's just neon yellow paint in that one. Yeah, look at that. Heidi says I'm so happy I made my piece with your kids and negative space and posters. I love both the resident colors much better resin than I can get in Denmark. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Heidi, and it worked well. Did we send her some stuff in Denmark? I did. That's so rad. Now Pikachu is like super glowing. I hope you can like catch up with that. Oh yeah, I know. This guy, maybe I don't know.  Yeah.  I'm going to put a bit of this and see what that looks like. Not go bright. That is super strange. You would think that that would go like oh, you know why?  I had a huge light box which turned out Pokemon characters by the hunters and the boys would trace them for hours. It was so cool. That sounds super awesome. Trisha says there were four things that I always wanted to try. Skateboarding, surfing, skydiving, and ice skating. I got to try one.  I hope that wasn't because of a skydiving incident. It was just like a skateboard sized blunder. Did you hear that pink? Pink and uh, you see it? Ew. It's the uh you need to make, and I know they have it, I just don't have it but you can use fluorescent pink and fluorescent chartreuse. Well babe, look at that. It's like they can't even see. We just not paying attention babe? No, I was watching you on that main screen. I tried water, skiing on the bay and swallowed a gallon of salt water. Um I hear it's breaking. I'm glad you're okay. Probably TG's. Heidi said this looks so awesome I'm glad my son is a slave if he watched this he'd be confident that I could make a board for him just like this. It is so cool. What are you looking for B? The orange I don't see it. Is it in a pocket? Try it. I was just trying to make this these lines a little more pronounced because I want it to look like neon tubing which I probably should have made them a little more thicker because it'll give it that neon look like they're actually neon tubes. Have an awesome dinner Arlene. Oh it was I skating? I see I think it's fun. We should try to do neon with resin I feel like we could do it.  You're probably good with high bill. You don't care? Heidi I can ship out of the country depending on where it's going. Some countries are really particular about importing epoxy so I think Denmark I'd have to check but if it lets you order it it should be good but yeah I almost got my hands slashed off by another skater that's scary yeah How many rotations? What color are you mixing now? I'm putting more pink in there a little bit too yellow Yeah I think this piece is going to look super cool and we keep thinking about coating it in resin but I don't want it to just slump off and I don't know how to make it maybe just do a coat and since the sides are rounded just coat the sides and hope it doesn't I didn't take any pictures of I've been trying to do that I've been trying to be good about taking one picture of each Each step? Yeah God that's yellow I'm so glad TG you just received your order just now you're mixing colors and the packaging is awesome thank you Clara yeah that looks a lot orangeier sure thing Heidi our blank decks in the ATD store future yeah that would be awesome because I would just paint on them it would just be like sorry we're out of the deck so yeah I know JJ maybe no because I don't want it to look I don't want it to disappear it's so crazy you can't see any of that Pokemon in the back let's have some do you want TG? JJ said I buy them just I am Clara said I would buy them too night vamp will you feel good tomorrow blank decks are they're like just for blank I want to do blue I want to make like a bright blue so I wonder if I could put this fluorescent green into this blue that I use through that front blue that I have he'll end up putting a line of white down the center of all of them at the end you just got to let it dry in between air brushing this paint is so blue custom blue I made a custom green oh man this needle is so bent you can see it you have another one over here I have a couple huh? I have a couple over here that's a great green though it looks blue aqua over here it's green in some images space sorry y'all this is like we need more room this isn't really gone but I'll just go over the lines looks like it's gonna be glowy though it looks like more glowy than the blue you had I think well that was just a silver glow it would be like a blue glow I should have done a dark blue glow look at that looks neon-y I think it's just green I think that blue is an okay Emily Scoville what a tweener said Corbin is loving this what a corb dog what's up Billy the whole Scoville fan hey if you guys are in and around Dallas DFW area and you need the dance lesson Emily Scoville is your person and if you need some tires you know Alan and her husband will hook you up with some tires he won't give them to you but he will transparent I think this is just too transparent hey there's nothing happening calm down are you trying to say hi to people I know but it's okay this is like super bent that's crazy something or maybe it's down here you say I'll stop it some more what is your place called what is it called tweener put your put your dance studio up there just don't put .com put your put your information up there just don't put it .com she's on facebook they won't let you but nobody on youtube can see he is pretty savage this boy right here you guys are cute man this is way better your movement dance in Alan there it is that's it pure movement yeah he looks glowing now I just got to do the white inside of there and he'd be popping so should I do these red glowing red are you going to be able to do that without making it look filled in why would it look filled in oh there it is found it where the oh there it is that's the shirt I want to make how many of you guys do that you're like you're looking for something and it's supposed to be somewhere and you start to cuss you're like where the oh there it is you don't actually say the f bomb so how about we just do that in pink what are we going to do in pink Emily says he is now requesting for his next birthday an airbrushed painting of the evolution of Charmander that's so funny because that's what my friend Corey told me to do on this and I have him already set up Kim says if you have the yellow lighted wheels that would rock I think this is going to be a wallpane I don't think you want to escape this the thing with that is is that little glowing cheeks that's a little bit much they're hella bright because of that yellow should I go over this with red there are parts of them that should be red, look in the thing that's not what I want to do stick with the original plan should I just go white in the middle of everybody or should I do this blue on him first and then go white yeah, yeah because you did the neon in the middle of it everyone's saying yeah I say that all the time JJ said JJ said but I always drop the f-bomb anyways tip of Charmander tail being red would be cool I'm not sure what he's cutting I'm not cutting I'm just printing out a little reference if you guys need a good printer this Canon printer is amazing and it prints prints, look at that that's from just a screenshot basically it's so cute though right can't let Charmander's plan go out understood why did you do the print out, was it just to have I can use a reference don't mind that's gonna look stupid you guys know anything about Pokemon what's your favorite pokey come on and it says have to love you and leave you it's homemade pizza night and triple chocolate baked cheesecake for sweets and they need to hit the shops before it gets crazy I want some of all of that but right now yours is Charmander for some reason that looks glowing I love that it seems like it's more glowy on the belly than on his head and I don't know I think maybe because it's blended in I think it's because this isn't that fat the line is kind of skinny up there it could have been Charizard so why did Charmander instead of the Charizard that looks great I like that you should, it looks really good alright so I'm gonna do that isn't it fun how cute is that so fun oh because he's cuter Charizard has wings this is evolved from the Charmander it's I got ya I need to do some studying on that I'll hook him on like it evolved up my nephew Stefano said this one that I like he's not on here but I want to do it he has the little skull on his head it's like a little skull and that's his mother's the little tan guy yeah it's his mother's like what? it's crazy he just said it makes a really pot jet I need some room I'm gonna get my lazy Susan out so if you guys are out and you guys need flat black do not get this because it's not flat it's like satin almost semi-satin gloss very upset with that come here I hate you guys come here and I could make these a little more defined by taking black and spraying it just on the insides to make it look like it's they're a little bit more defined curves but I'm gonna leave that hmm hmm Emma's making all the good dinner stuff I still don't know what we're gonna do for dinner bring your hands when you paint that's I need to do that more often just want some room give me some room I have this one too if you'd rather it I might I thought about putting two pokeballs right here three sides to kind of tie it all together do them in blue and right so this is where you have to be real careful y'all you want to stay right in the center the center of the center line the center of your neon line like I say always get comfortable if you don't feel it don't do it yeah this line like all the way I don't want to stop anywhere so I want to make it to where if I'm able to be comfy start about a half inch above your line that you started you're gonna have to watch a new video it's good from here you're not worried you may hit the edge of that lazy susan and it's gonna tip up being on the edge of that lazy susan but I guess it is turned out yeah I'm glad I got to sneak I'm not pretty neat this chair oh this is fine how's that camera looking to the left of me it's a little off because you turned it it's so funny you just fix it and then roll it out but don't let that camera interrupt your process yeah every time it always does that's why I can't I don't like filming myself by myself because that's all I think about oh my god am I out of the camera angle is it recording am I in the way I hate that but you gotta do it it looks so good Jude says I'm inspired and always love to watch you in action Jeff thank you thanks Jude thanks Heidi 10 degrees over here next to the window that looks so neonny so what do you guys think the next one you should do should be the char evolution very glowing yep you gone she says as always looks great Lisa says that's cool just catching you guys hello all hello Lita I wanna do the mad Pikachu where he's got like the lightning bolts on that would be so fun fun Joan says it looks awesome what size deck is that I believe it's a 6A I think that's what it says on here Denise says have you ever looked all over for your reading glasses and then found them on top of your head holding back your bangs but yeah they used to hold back your bangs I didn't have glasses I didn't have bangs I just had one that's what I was like trying to listen for was that I didn't have bangs so when you Pikachu's eyes are so dilated like he may set off into lightning bolt at any moment Joan says nice wall hanger lots of pop with a black background thank you very much there's actually the word Pokemon in the back of all these guys but you can't see him you can't see it this is he's so dry do you want this one no because it'll look different I just put a lot of orange on this see what I should have done was do the white then hit did I hit everything with white hairbrush yeah pretty sure now I try to do a color I should have done a dark glow of each of these colors like the light behind them then hit that with white then do a darker or brighter color then the glow around the outside really think it looks good looks good this is really like denny says I love this that's amazing I love the blue turtle I wish you guys could see the pokemon that's just that's too bad I was like can we see through pokemon I'm thinking about taking this teal and just kind of dusting it what do you think what do I think about what I'm thinking I hit it with some gloss spray paint okay if you want to try to do a thin coat of resin we can I'm just worried about it like settling somewhere Wesley Garrett says it looks cool Wes what's up Evelyn says Jeff is on fire I just that sucks that you can't see that I painted that black on black and now it's just gone I think the furbear must be sleeping but we was right here on the desk and who goes in the penthouse both are just waiting on the tone of voice that says the light beam is over so they can go I don't know what I can do what are we going to do just to add something I think we're just going to make a little lighting around just the border want it look a little bit like your squirtle and I'll make it purple you don't have to that's what we're doing that's what we're doing alright so I'm just going to go and I'll just stop it at it I'm going to go through them already looks over are the molotow neon markers transparent or opaque molotow they're opaque are these molotow these are really opaque these are good markers they're kind of expensive but they're good they're worth it spend money to make money people Claire knows what's up Claire said awesome these little characters look like lights sweet so we need to make Claire knows back in the room did you hear me about the Walmart thing about giving that black and gold box definitely get one if you can't keep it if you get multiple ones you can have one sell one open one this is rad sell one open one you know how the Mary won kill one go a little bit of this a little bit of this just a little bit you pour just the top of it out seven minutes to get the box you're going to put white in the middle of the tg said I did a screenshot of this thinking my grandson would like it but now he'll want me to buy one for him I'm sure see it just kind of tied it all together didn't it just a little bit I said my sons would love this I actually sent the link to my friend you appreciate you guys sharing this it's true I think I'm just going to do the lighter pink or the lighter purple yeah these drive faster because there's not a lot on there slumper said this is on her thank you it's about the same color almost it sure did tie it all together thank you tg for sharing the link that's not it's not it almost is just as bright I don't really see those lines let me do the white is there another light purple is that a neon purple this is like that's their purple and then light purple it's literally the same color almost so I'll just do the white give me that give me the detail one so I can make it thin these guys these are awesome these brush pins that Posca makes you have to make sure you put that lid on tight or it will it will dry up on you pretty quickly yeah right after you push that button on the back it like just burbles down I like that it just gets rid of that other one share the link with my sister on fanatic she plays while she walks every day and she loved it thank you Kim well now that's more yeah I know so maybe put the white down and then I'm just gonna go over thank you Clara hey y'all cool beans Jeff that looks a lot better we're also thinking about doing when we do the holographic one using those chameleon flakes for those background halos shh shh shh shh shwing we need a lot of that makes police yell Pikachu when they take someone he's so crazy I like it what I think I'm gonna do is put that purple in there it's so funny that we were concerned that the blue one wouldn't be that glowy and now it's the glowiest one on camera really? yeah cause that white really pops off the blue Carol says it's perfect you're darkening it so it looks more glowy oh gosh I love the purple I didn't want something too overwhelming using this transparent color it just goes over all the lighter stuff or that purple's transparent yeah when it dries you can see the purple kind of when it's wet it almost blows out somehow yeah it's just because of the shine Denise said I can just watch this get done and go can I move these to my drops no I mean I'll do it after I'm done okay Neonny when's that thing this weekend you have a time to do an evolution I want to do something else I'll probably go to Rec Shop and get that deck tomorrow a couple of them I want to do a Marnie for Cory's viewers I want to make a sure form that says F Marnie you should tell them the story so this guy opens up boxes of Pokemon cards and then ships them to you or you can just buy him and then he'll ship them to you you don't have to open them but it's fun watching them open them and if he comes across a certain one a Marnie, a trainer for some reason he takes the scissors and cuts her in half like chops her head off kind of thing and he does it to every single card to everybody and if they're new he'll ask them and they'll say well why and then he has to go through and explain he just doesn't like it I don't know why it's hilarious but he just doesn't like her because she brings bad luck or something I don't know is everything open in Texas yeah everything is not open fully but there is a convention but they're doing the CDC guidelines so what else be I feel like I'm to spray they're over it I just don't like to do that I hate I hate clear, I hate that what what are you gonna do you gotta seal it somehow right I don't know I'm thinking about that in Oregon you can't do that um Texas is very let's get the businesses open all it says you need a pokeball or two on it yeah I thought about that just don't know where to sign it it's my first one what do you even do this is so like if I press down too much it's gonna make a big mark and I don't want to do that you want a gold pin yeah you need a new fine one he just rolled off onto I'm holding him up um Sinead said if my first one could only be this result I'd be rich it's amazing be alright so should I spray the clear on it should I spray matte so that it all is matte I think if the clear is gonna make it pop too if we don't like it let's do it the matte is right here but do you want the gloss I'm just gonna do the gloss but doesn't it just look so it looks cheesy when it's like that like spray paint gloss what do you guys think spray gloss or spray matte you need fast drying resin unfortunately fast drying resin tends to yellow and if they don't give it a gloss well you can put spray matte over it if you don't like the gloss right I wouldn't do that why not resin well because do you think it would look messy if resin I don't know I know it for sure would cool in the middle but it would leave a layer of the rest of it right yeah that's the thing I wonder if the holes are lower is that the lowest spot and if you just did a bunch and did a super till let it all fall off and just coat it all basically why not just brush it on with a sponge brush do you think it would stay I don't see why not some of it would stay right tip gloss yeah the curve shape is the issue who's going to spray it resin then tip I have two skateboard decks over here that I started two years ago I was going to use it today and they're just you're just sanding it down move Bowie from over here welcome on just to visit here Blaine wants to know which gloss spray is it Krylon and how many coats put it on the spinner I'll ask him in a second I've done a few boards in resin but always the back I use my finger to squeegee a thin coat and it turned out good that's from Midwest Monster you can see the Pokemon kind of just because hey Rusty no not here look at that you can see the Pokemon now it's coming through boys it's okay that's crazy look we've missed you Rusty tell us a camera when you're done with that so I can see it's reacting for the gloss it's just getting glosser no it's reacting down here it's reacting it's like the paint is coming up why would that be no idea maybe because the paint wasn't dry all the way do you see it's coming up like it's look at that it's textured that's just from where you hit the heat gun right no it's nice was it because of the heat gun possible is this the only place you hit it I just turned it on I thought you hit like this real quick right there I don't remember like why would it do that from heat it is I just ruined it what if we just coated it with resin I don't know I don't know if that's gonna dry I wonder if it's because it's two different two different ones spray paints and then the clear would that matter everyone's like I can't see it I can't see it yeah I can see that it's reacting like look at this side it is not like that I feel like if we do a thin coat of resin on it let's say it doesn't work we at least know that it'll slump it but also I think that coat of resin would probably hide it I honestly think it would too but I just I don't know if it'll try it we need to test so you don't have to right hide it can't see from here sounds like it's resin time let it dry overnight first do you think I don't think he'll do it if he doesn't do it now is it orange peel pretty much yeah really bad does it look like it's crackling look how people make wood aged yeah fun stuff back in the day alright y'all how much resin do you think you can just brush coat it so you don't have to let's do counter top cause it'll dry faster someone asked you to design it that way now you know where's that I'd wait until it dried overnight to resin you think though but what's it gonna do it's already messed up like you can't and it's almost dry like I can I can push my my hand across it it's a little tacky but I think it'll help how much are you gonna make it probably need to dry more than that because you don't want it to we want to make like probably more than we should if we're just doing a thin coat you would think let's do six ounces maybe correct Claire but we're gonna go for it use about why it even happened maybe because the coat was too thick maybe I sprayed it on but that's the thing I think this was the end that I sprayed a little bit more heavier so it might have not been dry I think resin will just probably smooth it out and if not then are you gonna tape the edges no we'll just run our hands over the edges since they're rounded and then if anything's like a drip on the back of it we will just sand it and paint the back black again after I hand you this resin I'll go clear out the dust free zone amazing like one of these cups doesn't even need to be here how is that Midwest Monster says maybe the propellant came out on that spot I can't be mad I can't think of it like Stefano wants to know how much you're asking for it does anybody ask probably like $2.50 Stefano says it's gonna sell fast because it's amazing is it dry dry enough for me to throw these gloves at you yeah alright so this for this we're gonna use stone coat counter top and the reason is because it'll dry faster than the art coat will but still have most of the durability of art coat Suzanne says it's still so cool should be interesting that looks so crazy and it looks like crap with with this gloss on it like it just looks bad look at that you can see the Pokémon now it looks like a detail yeah whoever said that could have been the propellant is that something is that a thing should I have sprayed it off to the side for 10 seconds 20 seconds I'll probably do that next time alright let's just go you know that was way too much resin but I would rather have too much than not enough and then that way you can get my phone yeah that was way too much resin but will you get this resin off my phone you can't see those wrinkles say can or can't can't unless you tip it that way this isn't gonna end up right Jeff creative as ever killer piece any way squirtle squirtle I can't see them from here it's so crazy watching the resin roll over it if it doesn't smooth out over one coat it may work with two coats you said you still can see it is it less noticeable I think it'll be alright I just let it settle give me a torch there's one right there I feel like the edges are gonna come up I think there's just a bunch of trash I didn't even wipe it off can you run your hand on the edges yeah I mean it got rid of the that stuff but still it's just it sounds surgical it made it look a little more glowy do you need help carrying that I'm wondering if what will come off will just go down the holes it's the lowest point right they pretty much are but it might pull up right in a straight line but I don't think you'll be able to see it you won't because of the higher edges I think it'll look fine you won't be able to tell at all it looks so weird I forgot there were holes in the back so every time you tip it up I'm like how was there running resin just in the middle Denise says it's gorgeous thank you Clara are you trying to tilt as much yeah I'm just trying to go back and forth and get excess off Arlene says it's beautiful thank you Arlene okay that's gonna I picked it up and it started it got rid of that stuff resin really makes it pop resin was like I don't teach you to use spray clear right that was pretty stupid spray clear who uses spray clear people that are scared of resin I'm gonna try to heat up this middle part and then tip it so it goes all down here I'm gonna have to do another layer yeah I just don't know if I have time I'm gonna take it to the car show sure if we take it out in the morning do a just resin clear coat it'd be set up enough by tomorrow evening I see more of these in your future JJ said 9 gold better not included okay Liz what's the working time for this says 45 minutes but we've done I think an hour and a half I hope it was faster it's half art by in the morning we could do another clear coat okay Kujo this little guy relax there's so much resin on here they said 3 ounces how are Moon Bowie doing they're wonderful Bowie turns 2 on the 2nd Kujo is huffing cause he's excited about going OUT cause we're almost done with the live and there's like scratch or something hey relax good boy what else what baby left wanna come up here wanna come up here wanna come up here no talking it has been a minute Kujo always knows always always knows what do you guys think of the skateboard have you ever painted a skateboard are you gonna try to paint a skateboard please wanna know always with the baby kisses always with the baby kisses that is it's like night tg what this is frustrating so much trash in here we'll sand it and do a flood coat that just resin sets up I'd love to learn how to air brush I'd love to paint a skateboard and a guitar Erica where did Jeff get the blank either at my friend's skate shop or amazon I think if I baby it like this it'll be smooth I just don't wanna stand here and baby it why don't we set an alarm for every hour hmm this one's fun I think this side looks the best that side looks the best because it's like there's so much resin on it what is Kujo looking at this is like the first thing I've ever done where there's resin all over it the whole thing like the resin like the back like this thing is like completely covered in resin he said I don't understand yeah we've done things coated in resin before so that's how I was like but I understand now he said including the back so you guys this is it we're gonna head out just gonna take a piece to dust free zone the D.F.Z the D.F.Z I left the cups in there but I didn't put them out cause I wasn't sure what your plan was we'll check on that piece every hour just to retilt it and make sure everything's it's like you're sitting over here like when can I run out when you're doing it thank you Sam, thank you Denise thank you everyone for tuning in to what we're up to today hope you enjoyed it, hope you learned something and I hope you try it we'll be back
