's quite a restrictive thing to do You can never show someone committing a crime that leads to you having sympathy for them What about the guy stealing bread? That feels like the immediate one. I guess I just avoid that Well, I guess yeah you Uh, and it says a crime is depicted. It shall be as they sorted an unpleasant activity Um policemen judges and government officials and respected institutions shall never be presented in such a way as to create disrespect for established authority Um in every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds Um no comic shall use the words horror or terror in its title Um Man killed a lot of bonus horror And there's a lot. There's a lot. Yeah. Yeah Um or lurid unsavory gruesome illustrations shall be eliminated Seduction and rape shall never be shown or suggested Not even seduction What even counts definitively, you know? Oh gosh. Well females shall be drawn Females shall be drawn realistically without exaggeration of any physical qualities But I mean in in general, I guess this is like what happens when you have a code that was written in the 1950s Like it would be written different time man is different time Well, yeah, because I guess when they wrote it they assumed that everybody knew what they were talking about But like at this point in time, it's like this is so vague a lot of this is really vague Meanwhile, a lot of these are incredibly restrictive Um, sorry for the random question, but have you guys seen goldman's gold man's goldman's uh two hour ray is not a Mary sue video I have not No, I look wrong. I don't but I this is I I just don't care about the Mary Sue label as much anymore It's it almost seems like it only ever Blurs the conversation Like does she really qualifies having each of these particular characters like Ray sucks. She's a terrible character I don't care if she qualifies as a Mary Sue anymore. Like it's such a regardless.  Yes Um Uh fair enough was just thinking if you tried to tackle it from a different angle be more digestible I mean, it's not like anyone thinks the Patriot's bad because it isn't historically accurate, right? I rags That was a thing Well, I mean, hello, we'll still absolutely do. Yeah, uh um Yeah, I feel like the problem with modern comics isn't because it's not like ga comics But because of inconsistencies changing established characters and attacking the fans I I mean, well, I mean the attacking the fans would be independent of the content itself, right?   They just like oof Okay Um, so yeah But um, I still think there are ways to do that with talent, you know, so like I guess I would just go as far as saying that um We can still boil it down to good old-fashioned incompetence Um, but there are flavors. I appreciate that Does milton get to join the other e-fab legends such as the dawn and jacob kane I think milton would have a seat at the table. He's a good guy You know they get on timely death. Yeah Uh, just watched it first and best movie I've seen since joker The first movie you've seen since joker, holy shit Maybe they're talking specifically about cover movies um Would that make sense? Yeah, and that makes more sense. Yeah, um It's But they said first movie they've seen since joker.  I was about to say of course. It's the best movie. Yeah It's the only movie you've seen Since that that checks out Person's like j Yeah Lego also has a preclusion of violence, which is why you don't have rick and morty legos or halo legos. No explicit warfare is allowed Um, you have halo mega blocks have halo mega blocks. That's right. They have also they got like avengers Yeah, they've got they've got lego superheroes lego star wars They're actually they've made lego friends sets and a lego seinfeld set recently Well and star wars. Um, he followed up with saying Um, does that make batman lego movie sense it does he not beat people up in that at all? He bites people. Yeah, he does So there's a lot of finding in that movie.  It's like, yeah, it's gonna cause problems But it's like no you can't detonate any nukes in your batman story. It's like that's fine I can deal with that. All right. Yeah Um, I figured bloodspot was just using drinkers multi-barreled concept gun. I remember that that was Seven cylinder revolver was that 2019 that joke was That was joker. Oh, Jesus.  I think So avengers infinity war lego sats are they cool Star wars because they exist Uninfinity terror 80 80s Maybe I don't know Well, I mean science fiction, right? Yeah. No, I'm with you. I don't get how these rules work. Yeah These rules never seem to maybe it's because halo was like m rated for a long time So it'd be weird to have an m rated uh lego set even though a lot of adults, you know, you played with lego's Uh Didn't like polka dot man's death. He got what he wanted becoming a superhero and dying But making it a joke was distasteful or kind of distasteful it would have liked to sacrifice better than the death by lack of attention A death by lack of attention. I mean You can you can see why he was just like as distracted He's doing the thing that he's always wanted to become And he's looking to his leader for like some form of adoration and then he's killed Like I don't I don't really see that as like that insulting I don't even know if I'd call it a joke really.  I don't know it it all lined up for me and I felt it.  It's just like I mean, it's it's tough to go further than that either way Show's tentacle blade. It's your mom. Hi southpaw Hello I mean Yeah, that was uh, that was a legitimately funny your mom joke that james gun pulled off I loved it That is your mom Harley dying in a sacrificial way to defeat staro would have been a pretty good way to write it out while also making her last act a good one That's I don't know what I want for Harley. I whatever gets here.  I would I would have wanted the Were they called the silaxes cry laxes the terror of pieces?  Oh god in blood I want to be eaten alive poisoned by the blood because it's actually Acidic, I wouldn't call that plot armor, but it's like, yeah She would have been really unlucky if staro fell the other way. Yeah Oh That was like the whole conversation or you and you just accepted that was happening Like you react to it really late. I'm only just confused. I just I only just processed what it what what it means I only just got the memory and that my reaction to it Um, and it would have helped with the whole known as safe thing I mean, yeah, she was the main one everybody agreed that they do she wasn't gonna die which is really unfortunate And in some ways, I really do think it would have helped the film to have it be one of the instant kills at the beginning Um, because we'd be like, holy fuck not even holly quinn survives Uh, this is late, but chat could be an acronym for completely hopeless and terrible Oh, they're not completely hopeless and terrible though It's just not completely. It's just some flimps and flams in there. Yeah Just got here is efab chat bitched about southpaw yet. Um, you know bits and pieces Probably we've all gone now. I think probably different takes, you know, people have been bitching about freaky, too in evan Let's say rags, of course We've all had chunks taken people very upset that we we would rate this so highly when they would rate it a five That was like, yeah Okay Javelins were used by the ancient greeks to destroy tanks, you know That's true. It's on their foses. You can yeah, read it often. Yeah um Someone said in the raise not a mary sue video that raise only hated because she is one of the only main female characters Who's not dependent on a main male character to be relevant. Yeah Excellent analysis just top tier You nailed it. There's nothing more to it Um, I have five rats and that's a lot to handle five million is something else Yeah, yeah gonna be Maybe a nightmare to get them all fed. Well, there's you know, there's plenty of corpses around I guess How we have a go? Um, the 8080 is a combined arms weapon. It needs air support. The problems are general veers and general Recon not the weapons vehicles or troops Oh, we're gonna have to talk a little bit about hoth I mean, I don't want to talk about hoth I guess their argument is that they're supposed to be combined with other units to make them as effective as possible But it's just like but you can make them more effective as individual units if you wanted to Yeah, and they're just not Well, it's just they're I think the the biggest issue of course is just the rebel sea these vehicles that are so they have such Obviously Easily exploitable weaknesses and they're like now we're gonna Take them on from the one angle that they can fire us upon That's the thing, man The first thought is like maybe put a cannon on the back end and have one guy in there Just there is a design. There is an 8080 design that has a rear gunner And I don't know why they didn't go with it. They the juggernauts from the prequels were actually Like they came up with those four empire strikes back They were going to be an alternative to the 8080s. They went with the 8080s instead because Looks cooler, I guess Um, I once had to beat a rat to death with a mag light don't underestimate their power Well, um, it's funny when they get into the eye.  Yeah rats a little bit OP in a way Um, so is this movie any good? Well That was sent in around the time really good. Yeah That's the thing the weird to describe this one is complicated because good is usually five plus and then five Or lower is bad. It's just like it sits at fives. It's like it is a movie. It is okay Uh, star should have been controlled by a supervillain. The suicide squad has to find superman and free him from crypto prisons Superman freeze star Hold on hold on Guy in chat saying rat catcher being the most OP character was kind of dumb. She's not OP She's not OP The gloss cannon. Yeah, just quintessential gloss cannon. She can get punched to death There's a reason why she was like running away from peacemaker absolutely terrified practically shitting her pants Yeah, she tried to get her rats in but even if she'd gotten the time to be able to activate that thing He probably would have killed her Like if he hadn't knocked it out of your hand, she kept it going. It's like by the time the rats get there. She's dead Uh star. Oh, yeah, so about the whole star should have been controlled by a supervillain and the suicide squad has to find Superman and free him.  I'll keep posting this until you do so Read all tomorrows is all tomorrow the comic or something Read all tomorrows. Yeah, I got no clue. I'm assuming it's a comic all tomorrows. Do you not know?  Don't just cover it because it's topical It'll show. Yeah But the the person that said rat catcher was op said, oh my bad.  He has his heat vision. He has a super strength He has his flight. He could he could carry staro back up to the stars That's yeah, this is the thing about staro. I I guess people wanted it to be stronger But it's like it is from what we gather a flashy creature And if you have the right weaponry you can kill it relatively easily Like like I said, I think we said earlier is like could a nuke kill it. It's like probably I don't I don't see why it wouldn't um And so just because he was knocked out by her and her rats doing something very complicated and specific It's like I don't really see how that that's that bad Um, let's switch. I said obviously peacemaker high rags. I think this is about favorite characters.  It's gonna be an actual story.  It's peacemaker. Yeah What if king shock just non-stop drop the n-word? That'd be a different movie, you know it'd be a different movie I don't know what people would think about it. Then he would be my favorite character. There you go.  Some are delicious. I wonder which humans taste best. Hmm. You know What if the fat ones taste better or worse? Like depends on how fat. Yeah He wants that juicy shack meat. Hmm um Which is better on character the suicide squad or the guardians movies? Oh Uh That's actually a little bit difficult to answer instantly Because uh, yeah, I need to rewatch them. So guardians two is better with characters than guardians one was as I recall Why do you conclude like gardens? um Just paying off a lot of stuff that was set up in the first movie basically, uh, I'd say probably the Strongest character from guardians one is probably I mean, I guess it would have to be star lord Maybe followed by Groot This is it's tough. We'd probably have to rewatch and break them down fully But it's gonna come close because like we're dealing with some strong character content in uh, the suicide squad seriously TSS has Harley so guardians She's not Harley completely Undoes all the great characters in TSS though. The problem is like I don't like her but I would I don't think she the film is docked points for character for her. I don't think that's how I don't think that's fair She's she behaves as Harley probably would from how she's been written like I don't I don't like the dialogue She has and I just don't find her interesting because of a lack of development They could have given her that doesn't make her like broken or anything Like let's say that you've got like okay five great characters in guardians And then you have ten great characters in the suicide squad and then you have one bad character in the suicide squad as well like I mean The reality is that the suicide squad had double the great characters Well, the problem there is that I don't know which film does have This is the thing we'd have to break them both. I'm I'm I'm being hypothetical here But like if we're to assume that guardians has no bad characters No characters as bad as Harley right and Harley's just the only really bad character between the two movies I don't I don't know that I don't think I would call her a bad character. I don't like her Bad characters to me are people like Zod where I'm just like he's completely broken.  Okay Bizarre doesn't mean bad it means bizarre But um, yeah, I I'm not intending to watch anytime soon. You know, it's like I hope it's wonderful and I hope you guys who love it in chat Love it as much as you love it angry super chat three damn Just sending all those angers in Oh, this one says nom nom's that's names Would Finn's arc in TLJ be better if he criticized rose and dj through his trauma as a stormtrooper calling out several of their points with experience I mean it would make him Much more interesting to fucking watch It sounds categorically better than what we got He's talked at for ages when he has the kind of experience that would give him so much of uh Sort of input on so many scenarios um Yeah, Finn is often cited as just one of the biggest losses for the sequel trilogy and potential Yeah, when I was first watching the last Jedi like I was angry about luke But I was also really upset about how they wasted Finn Well, he had plenty of potential after the force awakens, but Yeah, um, how better would the movie be if kingshark ate harley? And I'd be on board They didn't truly get introduced as friends, you know, so you make the mistake Um, sad how these villains are the most relatable characters in all superhero movies dcu or mcu. In fact, most of them are better people than the heroes In in the current era we're in. Yeah, and like we mean about it, but like it's kind of true. Just I'm I'm reluctant to call these people villains Um, so there's there's complications to it like Uh, if if peace maker and uh Blood sport are killing people for their respective like I'm keeping the peace. I murder you and I'm I'm getting money to kill you You know, like there's stuff we don't know about them But in the context of everything we saw in the movies Lots of arguments could be made that these are really good people doing the best that they can and the situations They end up in and stuff Uh, the proper use of plot armor is that it is seamless and invisible often the worst tv series Star Trek discovery and movies rely can constantly on plot armor for their entire writing art No Are we when they say that do they mean it's supposed to be That like the survivability of the character is because it's what the writer wants But we can't actually tell because it's written in a way that they would survive the scenarios reasonably I'm not sure if that's what they're trying to say or not I mean The way that we use is just it's unreasonable survival like The idea of plot armor meaning like, uh You have armor from the plot the plot would have killed you but you had armor that prevented it that sort of thing Yeah, but like this definition where um Because you have a purpose to serve in the plot even if there is no like um Unreasonable survivability from the character. Uh, that's plot armor I I don't see it. Well, it's just a matter of what they meant It's just a matter of how they might be defining it because i'm familiar with this like the idea of For example, luke has plot armor in the trilogy because george is his main character He's not going to kill him or whatever and it's just like okay But and and you know the idea is it's supposed to be seamless and invisible Meaning you write it in a way that luke doesn't just survive because he's luke He survives because all of these events take place in such ways that he has the ability to survive And it's reasonable that he does I understand if that's what we're going for but obviously colloquially We use plot armor to specifically point out that someone is surviving when they shouldn't be Um, and when people bring up When people bring up, uh, hello the writer wants them to survive this stuff. It's just like thank you so much Be a contribution. I I'm in love with the fact he's uh, um But if that's all the super chat is saying it's like I understand, um And that uh, you could categorize it that way. It's just that at this point It's really useful to signify it quickly that someone is surviving when they shouldn't be plot armor Um, if I've been joining a film nor you were meant to destroy the art not enjoy it say it ain't so a fax say it ain't so Good movie though Um, yeah, I'm sorry. We uh, we did enjoy this So don't tell anybody we'll be fine Yeah, we have a reputation to maintain Um, haven't gone to watch it yet as my day hasn't gone as planned But I look forward to night based on your review genuinely happy you guys saw a superhero thing. Y'all enjoyed good night. You're massive 99 what it feels like with how the ratio works that now that we've enjoyed this we've got a whole Like two years of not enjoying it again until we get something We are we're we're dealing with a uh, rather Dire exchange rate at this point and we've got a roller coaster coming up with dr Strange two spider-man three foot well, man So Well, so let's see 2018 we got into the spider-verse. That's probably the best comic book movie that came out that year, right? Joker came out that year 2018 Joker was 2019 Okay, yeah, then probably yeah, then it'd be spider-verse I was yeah spider-verse then joker and then This last year really Yeah Well, I mean, well we got Wonder Woman 84 Yeah, so nothing last year, you know, yeah Um, it's unacceptable how incompetent Amanda Waller is in this movie that said I think more people should go watch it I'd be curious What what is the argument for hearing competence? Oh, I don't think if you think we mentioned this her being asleep and the entire crew being asleep inside of the control room Just well, I mean humans need to sleep eventually So, yeah, if the idea there is they've got it to alert them the second things come online Isn't that like hyper competence that they've not left the room and they will stay there until they get information again Well, it's just that they've seemed to have like given up and they're not trying like anything else They're like, well, we just got to wait until the comm system doesn't make sense. There you go. What are you gonna do? Is it because it's a black ops mission right to like figure out We did at least like yeah, we're asking you what those are Yeah, probably a couple days there was there was at least overnight Yeah, I was just pan is that if you're trying to be covert And yeah, I imagine sending people to like watch over them with buttons of their own And in fairness, they knew team two were alive and they're heading to their targets and they just they lost signal, right? They're probably weren't gonna leave the island Yeah, and if well if they did they'd know Yeah Sleeping in shifts or something like that. I mean, I know you obviously need sleep and you don't have that big of a crew But I just found it weird that literally everyone including wall or a sleep at the panel waiting for like an alarm I was like, I don't know if we knew all of them mostly We just know that a lot of them were and that they got alerted the second anything happens Which I don't know just that's lines up to me. It's fine If they were alerted the second anything happens that kind of implies that there was at least one person that was awake And if you're gonna if it's gonna be an alarm how to make sense we'd sleep there, you know Yeah, I um sure enough I to me it seems like it's the they committed quite hard to the point where they're sleeping at their desks.  They will fall asleep at the desk.  I'm halfway there Uh living on a prayer This is the best dcu movie, but that's like saying you're the healthiest AIDS patient No, no, no, okay. So this movie is not what I would call an AIDS patient Um I mean, I understand this is someone who has a mild rash, but it's also very attractive I I understand that it is a very very low bar and the dcu has just been struggling to get over that bar But this one I'd say just fucking leaps over it Yeah, I think people are acting like everything is so bottom of the barrel that this is like the the best that they came Up with but it's still really bad. It's like I think this is a pretty Significant step in quality above anything that was in the previous dcu. This is comparable to I mean Some of the better mcu movies I just this is where I'm after wise at least that's what I mean like I feel like We get we get told sort of thing that it's like oh you guys might be praising it too much because you're so used to it It's being so bad. I'm just like There's a lot of good in this There's good stuff. There was legitimately good things in this and it is there's a lot of it a lot of the jokes land And I think the characters are very likable and well written I'm actually excited to edit this for once Yeah, it's a nice feeling. Oh, no, they're not the last super chats. How will rags ever know how many highs he's gotten I will never know Uh, the no kill rule is better world building Oh world building I don't know what you mean by that Who cares where it comes from it creates a challenge for storytelling and it's reasonable for the rogues gallery So you care where it comes from? Believe me you do you don't like it when writers get told they have to write things in a particular way especially Like I don't know why I have to explain this Imagine someone came along and said, you know what this punisher guy Would not know more blood for this guy. Okay, it's a bit much. Can he can he just knock people out? Can that be his thing now?   Well, they're outnumbered at this point Yeah This is such a strange argument. It's like who cares where it comes from. It can't it creates a challenge for storytelling It's like buddy. I can think of lots of things that create challenges for storytelling How about you can't have any white male leads that creates a challenge? You might have to change up how you're going to do your characters. That's a fun challenge. Why don't we do that? How about make all of your villains white males that could be a fun challenge It could limit you in some ways, but also create some reasonable sort of things for you to have to write Every uh, you know Disney plus MCU show you have must have a black woman that you know shows up the The white male What is happening in chat finding out the origin of the no-kill rule makes me respect writers even more Why wait why they had to get up with it or it's literally a restriction. Why would that make you have more respect? I certainly hope that uh, I got something in the clapping I certainly hope That you will stay consistent on this one when you find out that there was like a mandate from a studio that was That was of a political leaning that you don't like Yeah, like what if someone said like it is the equivalent It's way more interesting to make Loki less invested in causing people pain and more invested in just having people Respect him as a powerful person and that he's insecure like no That's inconsistent with his character. It's like I don't care.  It's a reasonable thing and I like it It's just like what if I said that for punisher though, and it was just an early comic and no more punisher He turns into a Batman time when we talk about like restrictions They should be restrictions that you chose yourself not things that are like imposed on you by outside forces How's that good if you're like I want to tell this type of story and then it's like that is not allowed You can never Tell a story like that. Well, then again, I mean, I guess we're willing to Hold that principle even with like Snyder's vision being maintained for like man of steel at least right Like he at least has the freedom to make it.  I think we maintained that throughout Yeah, well, yeah at molar. I think the people are defending it because it led to the batman they like Yeah, I think so too. I think that's exclusively what people are doing That is just yeah, yeah All right. Yeah, it's not it really if you be hypothetical for just a moment It's really easy to envision a character like batman the dark knight Who is brooding and you know that the does the detective everything like that in gotham city It's pretty easy to imagine that him as a punisher type where he just uses guns and he fucks people up It's really easy to imagine that well He was inspired by the shadow, I believe and the shadow is basically he knows what he alerts in the hearts of men There's actually evidence that some of the earlier batman comics were actually plagiarized from the shadow word for word in some cases Thomas Baker saying I don't mind batman kill him But batman would be in bvs is nothing like how he should be outside of the no kill rule He's incredibly stupid and tricked easily, which batman is known for being very intelligent I agree. Hey me repository. Evan.  Being this stupid like how that doesn't make any sense Lots of the thing about batman v superman is you can criticize it independent of reading any comics or knowing anything about the Sourced material like that doesn't matter. Let's go a little bit deeper.  It's a Kids movie comedy. He's already inside of that. He's like good fighting and all that.  It's a rule of cool thing and it does look cool in the warehouse.   He'll he'll challenge himself like that I don't know that's that's well, this is an ongoing battle for efab It's never gonna be over this started all the way back when we had no idea what we were dealing with with spider man And it's just developed and developed and developed because we're a part of spheres that seriously believe it's The same so like when you have a character of a continuity that's disrespected or assassinated They think it's in the same category as when you take someone from a comic and change them And it's just like efab have never been on that same boat So we just always present issues for these people every once in a while.      So like Uh, I'm interested because I I mean there's so much to work with in terms of criticism for this film But I mean maybe we'll check it out on 150. Maybe I don't know. Uh, be interested to see maybe what Maybe maybe Oh, he does a whole breakdown by the looks of the structure Excellent. He's got chapter headings and everything.  I Is it funny? I mean, it's lego. I'm not gonna. I mean, it's uh granted. It's lego, but still Well, that's the thing I'd really have to see how it's executed to be honest with you because it is lego. I don't know I mean, yeah, that's kind of what they try to do with the lego games is they they make funnier versions that are like kid friendly It's That's the style I think yeah, that's what I mean It's like there is we talk about disrespect But like I just need to see the context to know if it's more so just having some fun with it rather than I have I have the oddest feeling that jr. Tolkien if he saw the lego lord of the ringers game He wouldn't mind it at all. Probably smirk if he knew the full context where he's like Though he might be pissed that it's been commodified to that degree. Maybe I don't know. I don't know how he felt about all of it I assume he's more so fine Because he might feel like lord of the rings is a story that shouldn't be moved from where it is a lot of writers can feel that way Like bill watershine is with capitol and hams Thomas Baker and chat saying please check out batman under the red hood It's a really good movie and batman does smart things in there. Yeah, I watched that Just a little while ago. I think it's like a seven By my I've seen under the red hood, but it's been a long time since I did There's there's some very There's some hilarious tisms towards the end But it's uh, it was really compelling and I thought that was overall good. So thumbs up to under the red hood Please watch Cobra Kai and has respect for source material and great characters However, plot tisms are pretty frequent seven out of ten at best for at waste Is that show still beloved or is it going bad? I can't remember. So season one was Season one was uh, very well liked season two was not very well liked season three was considered a return to form with some issues involving character development being a little bit rushed for a couple of characters and I mean season four is coming in December. Um, I like Cobra Kai and it's really cheesy it emulates the The campy cheesiness of the karate kid movies and I think that it does a great job of honoring the characters of uh, Daniel and Johnny and Mr. Miyagi so I like it. I like it quite a bit Uh, honey badgers specifically target the genitals of the victims If that's again, it was a polar bear was the other option. Yeah, have you seen a polar bear? They will tear you to pieces genitals included I don't even know how you'd go about fighting the polar bear. It's like the badger It's like if it's going for the genitals that sucks, but good god. I think I'd have a better chance Look, you can't live in either Canada or Australia because they both don't exist in the first place Stop believing in the lies you sheeple high rags Hello In regards to the bear thing There's a little saying if it's brown lay down if it's black fight back if it's white good night So that should tell you all you need to know about the polar bear fight good night Uh, dawn of the final week 157 hours remain bell toll Oh, is that oh, I get it right because they I'm assuming they guessed that this stream would be seven And no way 157 hours. I'm still not sure exactly what that's referring to. I guess just when we start up the anniversary stream That's probably it But yes, it's coming. It's on its way Be very afraid Anything could happen Um, hey Evan, you know what the the most reliable way of avoiding a polar bear encounter Uh, probably something from beat Just just live in the south pole Oh, yeah That was a good riddle reference to a different batman show. Yeah, we actually That's stumped. Listen. This came through Um on the regular formatted text, so I'm assuming that youtube thinks this is totally fine So I just I guess I read it uh ching chong bing bong and the legend of the tang rings so YouTube wanted me to why would youtube not allow that it seems What there's just some funny noises and then something about jewelry Um, well, that's the I I usually say it for every single super chat But I um, I just felt like I should lower it to one per stream this time And that was the one I chose it for that's the one you know Complete coincidence if if you felt there was any particular reasoning Watching australian psa is meme fringy.   Oh, dude Oh, you just remind when I was a kid and You probably remember this one meme. Um, do you remember the ad that they played? Where it was like about wearing seat belts And the gist of the ad was that there was somebody in the back seat who wasn't wearing a seat belt And then the woman break and because he wasn't wearing a seat belt. He flew into the seat so hard that it um that it killed her um And it was like there was blood and everything and this was like an ad that played in prime like in prime time It was a prime time ad Um that people were there.  It's probably one of the best like, you know car safety ads ever made Have you seen the the irish one with uh with the toy car and the sweet child of mine cover? No, I haven't seen no That's I remember the dsa that turned me off smoking. Um when I was really young that like yeah Basically stuck a camera down the guy's throat and showed Like what happens to the lungs and everything A lot of smoking ones Those smoking ones were very effective Um, yeah, they're really scary imagery to have on like prime time tv, but hey guess the job done Um, yay a big alien crab speaking vietnamese wrote this all right The efab facebook group doesn't like fringy Oh Why? Probably don't get an answer Um, hi molini ragarino and fringatello. Hello. Hello And all would recommend the dead don't die for efab movies could be the lowest one yet My gf thought it was terrible and she liked army the dead. Oh my god Oh, um, how do you know what that really means? Because if you like army the dead like you're just a weird bizarre person I don't see how yeah, maybe they can't have good things at that point right? Like yeah, I just I don't know Is it an ironic enjoyment? Like I need more We love fringy knower of that malaki I was screaming for king shock Yeah Um, how do you think no way home and multivase of madness will turn out also hyrax Hello, not good.  She's just having grief. Can she lost a robot? uh husband Or vibrates with a lot of people and yeah her dildo Um, yeah, nothing but concern I think it's it's a little we're getting close to the level. It's just like there's probably no hope for it to be great There's probably no hope for it to be good They were in trouble Um, if you do the throwback for why the last Jedi is great, could you just Oppose with it? Wait, could you do just oppose with the first or curos? Why ryan johnson doesn't understand fin? Do oppose I I am very lost on what exactly I am lost as well. I uh I'm sorry, though. My brain is on very low power right now. Yeah, I'm running on fumes too. I'm gonna hang in there We're at a weird position as well Because whenever I'm scanning for the next one, I read some of the newer ones and I've read like 15 newer ones. So we're getting to a weird point where I'm gonna start having to cross moly a gay. Yeah Um, yeah, one of the older ones. Yeah Um, I think you fellas did a great job covering this movie. Thanks and have a good one. Oh, that's nice You're welcome. Oh, yeah Thanks. Yeah, um, are your thoughts on porn? What are your thoughts on porn in 60 fps? Something about it looks weird to my eyes I don't have I mean, I don't know To be honest with you, I don't know that my opinions would be any different on porn that it would be for movies I guess I was about to say action scenes versus Action scenes I Yeah, I feel like whatever my opinions are with movies probably reflects with porn as well. I don't know if it makes a difference I could be wrong on that. Yeah, I don't know if I've seen porn at 60 I just don't know Um, I'll I'll get back to you on that one um So E5 150 is next any hints or surprises of what's to come my great tizmy dudes and fringy jk fringy a kami kiwi is okay every now and again The commasaw kiwi you remember the meme. Yeah um Hints and surprises for E5 150. Well, I mean, honestly the the plan is to have a long stream covering videos with lots Little guests coming on Say hello um I I feel like, you know, it's uh, like the The I I said before because a lot of people are like, oh, it's uh, you know, you're gonna have blah blah blah blah again I'm like, look guys episode 100 was an incredibly special time Where lots of things happened 150 is gonna be a lot more like 50 where it's like, yeah We spend a lot of a lot of time talking about videos and having much people on I um, and I'm just I'm just so Flattened on hype for anything these days I'm almost like shouldn't hype anything at all for anybody in any way So that you can just enjoy what happens instead of expecting x and getting y or something, you know We don't submit expectations here However You know, there's some stuff that's gonna happen that I think you guys are gonna like not necessarily Related or not related to 150. Um And and we're very excited. It's just a week away. Um Fun fun times I reckon Um On fin Example would be fin calling out rows about sides going out the republic for their lack of response to the first orders actions and dj Not understanding the first orders cruelty bringing in world and politics, um The to be like I would take that over what we had. Yeah, I think that this is the thing about the sequels And um how we sort of see everything to do with the characters in them.  I just mean like there would be so much like the character We could be so much better I I have a Brief little vision of that world where james gun directed tlj looks like this Oh Ah, I guess that looks about right. So um, that's my blowjob up there That simpsons meme where it's just everyone's living in harmony and dancing under the happy sun. It's like, yeah, is he walking a robot dog? Yeah, why not right robot dog? We're like even even dogs have had their jobs automated in the future Um, I work at a movie theater and I clean movies after I've seen empty so many empty seats at squad movies Zero tickets sold in two days out. Yeah. Well from what I hear that there's a couple movies having this problem um Black widow had this problem and so did jungle crews.  Yeah And it's like they have to be well crafted more creative and But I mean the thought that because a lot of the rings couldn't have existed if it if it was making like Way less money than it did You lose potentially like the big scale of cinema Um, of course only in specific circumstances. There'll be other movies that are fine Surely it would rebound eventually as you know, well Will it or or are people just like no, I want to watch my home like I got used to this Um, that's that's the question Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, there's an angle just how long will all of this last if it actually does reset and it's just like Yeah, I guess that's because I it doesn't seem like things are going back to normal for a while Yeah, because I was partially under the impression that we were going back to normal But I don't think so and fucked it all up Yeah, and there's already ones that apparently on their way after delta like this And they did oh man. It seems to me.  It's like this one is that one But now it does it twice as fast or it has it also makes you grow another head and you're just like Jesus. Okay It's like Level up level up all the time and um Uh, yeah, because it's weird to like think about it. Just like oh, there's what will it do to the movie industry It was just like, I don't really that's the thing Like it feels like it's going to change how everything works because if you have everything in marvel and disney and everything They only managed to pull in half of what their initial budgets are Um Well, of course, you know, even if they make money the companies aren't going to be happy with like having lost Again, it's opportunity cost if you used to make a billion dollars and you're making 500 million It's like that's a significant cut to your profits Tom maybe they'll have to actually hire like filmmakers to be able to provide what feel like Bigger budget things for less money because they're talented. I guess it would just be the uh, the Streaming thing like and there would just be more of a Just television like streaming Marvel shows rather than movies, maybe Yeah, I mean could be Um I'm fascinated by that whole thing. I just don't know what's gonna happen.  Yeah, because the opening wasn't too bad and I think we get our answers with, um Shang-Chi, right? That's going to be the one that Shang-Chi is 45 days exclusive theatrical. So That will be something to indicate like what we should expect And I guess next year too and we might even start seeing films get delayed again from what I understand like just Studio isn't nervous about the next few months. Yeah, because they haven't committed to a release date for no way home, right? Well, no way home doesn't have a trailer yet. And it's like it's august It feels like It feels like they have to delay now. Oh, wait a minute. I probably well Mate, I mean, uh, I'm pretty sure venom got delighted by a couple of weeks Um, yeah, because that trailer came out and it said fall.  Yay Aren't you excited? Well, the thing is I think some of them might just do really well randomly Like like in ways that we're just like, huh like venom two makes a million a billion rather than we're just like Oh, I think venom might do really well. It seems like people like really excited for venom Whatever reason Hey, Evan, do you want to suffer? With venom or what? I don't know with this suffer Suffer knowing that we you know, if it weren't for the delays we would have been less than two months away from the batman by now Oh, yeah Well, maybe that's sparing you. Who knows what if the movie's terrible? Yeah, there's always that That trailer's so good though Um the trailers can look like anything. That's true. They really can Hi toxic brood big fan of pita capaldi. Have you seen in the loop? He's so funny in that she is I have not No, I haven't I have not like pita capaldi and everything he's in. I've never seen him in so Um, I'm sure he's very great Bane is hilarious in the animated holly show And does anybody anybody have any references for that?  That's like a perfect balance in my opinion I'm giving them a game I feel like that's way too advanced. Yeah. Yeah way too much. They'll be in over their heads. They because remember like when people don't have Things like that that you and I take for granted Like the idea that one of the thumbsticks or your like your left hand controls your movement and your right hand controls where you're looking That is a foreign concept to people who have not played video games that they might have to like legitimately practice to work to understand I think we're just used to it Night fire on game cube. That's one of the first games I got if not the one I got with the game cube Um, I was loving it doing all kinds of things And then I remember because it's fucking ages ago, but I still remember because it was just it was really like I get I guess that because I look back on some of these memories I'm like, oh, did I remember that because it taught me something maybe it's how I was so strong But my dad had the controller. I was like, yeah, go shoot people And then it would be walks forward And he looks down at the controller for a while and I'm like, yeah, that one aims that one moves And he's like looks up looks down looks up Moves the stick is confused looks down. I was like, oh shit This is gonna take a while apparently Uh, just because you're so used to it that he controllers But it wouldn't necessarily it could be something that they snap into after like, you know, half an hour or so of just getting used to it Um, yeah, it's just a new thing. I just yeah goes to sushi and we're just like chill Well, yeah, we're starting with like tetris And and then like as a platformer. That's like a 2d one where it's just moving left and right Yeah On the topic of books. I've been reading the expanse. I think they're fantastic. I highly recommend I've heard good things about the expanse books Um, I don't know if any of you guys know anything about those books No, they exist Um Yeah, I think um a lot of people have gone off the show now as well in the later seasons It's gone. It's gone poopy for those who enjoyed the early ones. I didn't even like the early ones that much I'm too snooty Hashtag pimp rage shout out from the dark council Pimp rage raid Oh Shouts from the dark I'm not sure I I feel bad if I'm supposed to recognize that I just I really don't I'm not sure what a shout out from the dark council Is all pimp raid, but uh, thanks for the raid. Presumably that is a raid. Yeah. Thank you um First platformer portal or original mario? I feel like in terms of what you should give to a new gamer probably original mario I feel like mario will work better because yeah, because they have to master all the fps stuff first with the portal Yeah, like I you probably can't remember your first time But like remember that was a I kind of do my first first person shooter that I played like that was halo And that was a bizarre weird thing where you moved with one and looked with the other It was just you'd never done that before and you had to just learn it Um, don't take it for granted When you think about people who've never done it I think the game I got used to it in that regard was quake for me on a news on pc fucking Playing so much of quake. So it was like my training grounds without realizing it necessarily for fps Yeah, yeah, quake's good. Y'all should play quake. I'll learn quake Um Is this the best john sena movie it could be um, I've not seen a lot of john sena movies. So Are you sure about that? Yes Though Yeah, I was I got it Uh, sometimes you just can't see him. So he could be in a movie without me realizing it The only one I've run is very good with invisible characters The only other john sena movie that I recall seeing was bumblebee and I don't think that one's better than the suicide squad Oh, is he a bumblebee? Yeah He had the best line. He had a great line that in evan knows which line i'm talking about. Oh, yeah That is so good.  This has been the most bizarre way of doing super chats ever, but uh, it's worked out Um, evan i'm making a video similar to your video on what aboutism, but several logical fallacies any advice Oh, um Use examples, that's probably what I regret most about making that video. I wished I'd taken more examples from other videos and other movies like Try try pulling examples to pick a part like that's that's what I find the most useful um At least in terms of your argumentation is like structured around what other people have said It doesn't seem like you're basically making up fallacies or making up examples. So that's probably the best piece of advice Um, and they follow up with saying also, when are you making videos? uh Probably next planning, uh, that el camino video that's that's I need to get to the script on that one But that's probably what's coming next not sure what's coming after but I've got a couple ideas Yeah, um Whenever you guys cover anime it will be the first episode of the last season of efap. Oh god Um, I'm done. I feel like if we start really covering anime, we're just winding the show down Sorry yeah season finale Running out of material really Scratching the bottom of the barrel Um, also the only good restrictions are the self-imposed ones. I'm pretty much on that here. We're writing.  They're trying to tell Uh, snider superman has more in common with omniman and homelander than he does traditional superman I can believe that Yeah, if I can if you watch, um Any superman content that's like dare I say classic or whatever and then you watch snider superman This is the stuff. I just don't get man like with a lot of people who are very obsessed With the faithfulness and stuff. It's like, how do you watch that superman?   Yeah Um for a first game, I feel like minecraft wouldn't be a bad idea What do you guys reckon? Um It wouldn't. Um, I feel like because of its pacing Especially it's low risk Um, it it's it it's arguably lack of a fail state, especially if you set it to peaceful and just give it to someone And just explain to them. So this is your mouse You use it and you look around and they do that and they said, all right now The here's your movement keys, you know, this is forward and it's all relative to you And you could just give them that some time to fiddle around with it They can jump up and down they can look around Nice simple graphics easy to look at and process Looks very approachable in terms of just the aesthetic Um, they could break a block this thing They could break a block and they could see how it's changed And they could stack them on top of each other and it's like, oh, I can do things like I just the bare bones basic Fundamentals of I can do things in games I could take a block here and I could put it over here And then it just gets bigger and bigger from there. But yeah, I think minecraft would be actually a really good one Really good first game for people And you know what there's a there's a there's a the benefit with that one as well Is that there's so much for like the ceiling in terms of exploring all of minecraft will take them a long time So if they're comfy with the game, they don't have to go to another game to do more things It's like no minecraft you've now now you can go here and do this and do this and do this and uh They'll probably feel safer Developing all this stuff in that game All their enemies.  Yeah, it's very like the difficulty for it is. Oh, you've done this now We can do this. Oh, you've done this now. We could do this and you just sort of progress And and and and not so bad way Uh first fps was the Jedi outcast demo level Um, I'm guessing for that person and and I heard Yeah, I don't know what the demo level was but I did play that and I liked it quite a bit I hear good things. I've not played it Uh dark council is myself drunk three pio abu nas or abu nas fatal j lord Callus and the gospel according to mark every Tuesday at 8 30 p.m. Yes t There you go. Um I I'm I'm aware of drunk three pio. I I'm not sure I'm aware of fatal j's as a name I've heard as well I'm sorry. I I'm not fully familiar with everybody in the spheres But uh good stuff and of course, thank you for the raid. Um That's it. We've caught up. I've scanned through the whole stream There's a chance. I've missed one or two because of the way this worked and I'm sorry about that if I did um And we we just about hit 10 hours, which feels perfect to me Before we shut everything down. However Evan do you want to do you want to chat a bit about what you're up to what you're doing and where people can find you People can find me on youtube. My name is Evan Monroe. Um I I finally released that uh last of us part two video that I've been talking about for a while got it through copyright and everything So That's up. It's pretty short, but I was I'm proud of how it turned out um like I said a minute ago the El Camino of Breaking Bad movies what I want to cover next that one will probably be a little more comprehensive So I'm going to be working on the script for that pretty soon. So that's what you should expect coming next I'm not sure one though. So in the meantime enjoy my latest video sweet link in Shioness Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna answer one super chat and then move to the next person Are you sure you guys didn't skip any super chats? No, I'm not sure That's the best I can do Um, we try meme. What are you up to? Where you go? What's happening?  What's going on? Uh, well you see, um, I've got um You know, there are things in in the works Things that may or may not manifest on this channel at some point in the near future Who knows what the future holds there? but Obviously, I've had some EFAP commitments. I'm pretty heavy over the over the last Few months or so which has been very very good. Um, and over the next few months I'm hoping that I will be finding a balance with the EFAP content and with the content on my own channel I'm hoping once I've got snooter runes out and Once I've moved on to whatever comes after that that I'm also going to be able to Work on my Mandalorian video. I want to get that out before season three or at least or before bookabob or whatever comes First so that I'm not suddenly feeling out of date without one So that's so that's next on the bucket list for me I've got I've also got a quite a few scripts written And I'm also investing in some primary sources for comic book history stuff In case I want to make any videos relating to certain things and I want to actually back up my assertions with facts So things are in the works. Uh, yeah, you can check out the channel and uh, not much new content there yet But it's on the way and I also stream Um on occasion as well. So you can also catch that whenever I feel like and I have time to do that So, yeah, that's what I'm up up to at the moment Yes Chonky things on the way one could say Yeah And so now back to a super chat. I'll never understand the hate for you guys high rags Hello We regularly murder art. I think it makes sense.  Sad face. I feel bad now because I don't know. I'm just like, oh man If if that's truly a true I was gonna say like pull your thing in the chat and I'll read it and it's like Wait, it's someone said they stole it. Okay, put it in chat and I'll read it first and Just do it just put in quotes. I'll grab it This this was a long hard somewhat cruel yet. Ha Ha Uh southpaw, what are you doing? What's up? What's happening? Your ropes? I am focusing on a couple different projects The one that's gotten the most attention lately, of course has been Batman the animated series went through that show most of it with evan and of course Longer short of it is wasn't impressed with most of it and so As I work on a video for it. I will actually be covering a fair number of episodes on my podcast We've only covered one thus far, but it's a big one. It's hard of ice And I didn't have evan or my other co-host buzz acts on for that one But I did have the meme repository here with me As well as shiny FX and We all came to basically the same conclusion about the episode And broke it down starting at about the three and a half hour point I'm going to go ahead and just post my The link to my live streams channel where I've got my podcast there So you can go there and check it out on south podcast number 20 And we're going to continue doing more BTS episodes I'm also bringing on a fellow called pendulum a Highly underrated content creator. That's a part of this community He made a great Almost three hour critique of a quiet place part two with evan as a like sort of like making multiple cameos Really entertaining video highly recommend checking it out if you Whether or not you've already seen a quiet place too And he's also a fan of the show and he's going to be going through it with me In fact, evan and I have to watch a couple episodes with him tonight and one of them is Seriously like probably my all-time favorite episode. So Yeah, just I've got some exciting projects going on. I'm still tackling, you know, beloved media and don't worry The last of us too is still on my radar.   It's just not a thing Yeah, that's right. Um, so who knows who knows what's happening next Um, also the the person said my super chat was something like I figured blood sports Spinning gun was based on drinkers multi-barrel concept. I did read that out and we did say Yes, we did. Yeah, and I said it's crazy that that was In 2019 or in 2021 it just it's just whoosh, you know Flying by Um So you got like the dismissive smiley. I think censorship is bad in general However, the no kill rule is good for batman So calling it out for censorship seems like a poor argument in my opinion. So you just beg the question That's a good old fashioned begging of the question. You just said it's good for batman. What does that mean? What does it mean to be good for batman? What if I told you that adapting batman to be a black woman is good for batman because it helps us explore Other aspects of the history of the character that could potentially exist there in an alternate and so I'm saying they cannot use a white guy Because that is if that leads to interesting or good stories Like I I don't see how we can't just expand your definition into doing anything we want Why is it that forcing him to not be allowed to kill people is good? Just a killer argument to me is is it okay if I do this to punisher? Can I do this to punisher? It's interesting because perfect for like perfect for batman is if that isn't its own Thing that we have to narrow down. What is perfect for bat? Is it just because you're used to it? Which is probably what it is I just because I feel like it's actually kind of weird when you see his appearance and his attitude and the kind of The setting that he's in oftentimes and the vibe that he puts off Like I said, he he really comes across as a punisher.  It's like that is a change that's coming within the comics And the my comics crowd doesn't seem happy with it But very interesting, you know, I mean look is If I did it to punisher and people like you don't that's bad for punisher I'd be like But this is what made batman bat. You're what you believe batman to be So like if I did that to punisher And then I fast forward a thousand years and people are just like yeah punisher at one point killed people I guess but that's just not who he is anymore And it was good that they changed it because I way prefer the punisher that doesn't kill people I think that could happen What are we basing this on it's weird Um, and they said yeah, so calling out That as censorship seems like a poor argument in my opinion. It's like Tell it.  So this is it's poor to argue against censorship as a principle Yeah, it doesn't work to me In finnish they followed up with sorry. I can't articulate my argument.  I've talked about making I'm just gonna hide in my corner while I make stuff Um, happy birthday metal. Yeah. Yeah, so that's a very good Uh, I just want to say Cobra Kai is good. Good night. That's what I hear That's what I hear. Oh my god. I I so I I look through my little updating notification things to see if that guy had responded because I asked him about the Do you like last of us two thing this one person that I made console reply videos to years ago She says he commented on one of those videos six hours ago Oh, like he's not commenting to you. You just you just spotted that is it four years ago And yeah, it just happened to be I well this maybe this isn't him Yeah, I don't think Yeah, I don't think it's him. It's okay. Yeah, it's not him. It just happened to be the same name It was someone I guess pretending to be him But that just took wow that was almost like really crazy. It's wild. That was a blast in the past almost Very strange It's an over simplification of what happened. So we're not your enemy on this one. We're not actually like trying to say the Um in this particular like it led to bad results We're just saying that you've got to be consistent on this what they they changed batman from who he was into something else And the we advocate you should be able to do that with adaptations And that all kinds of things could happen as a result instead of simply being like no It and this applies to batman you guys don't like to hear it But if there is a batman who kills people Which is the obvious example to go to here Doesn't automatically make him bad and it's even weirder to think of saying well, okay, but you can concede. He's a bad batman. It's like What is bad, man? Then you have people saying well, that's okay because that's his original creators that are making these changes Not some random people 30 years down the line, which is like I think that's a highly arbitrary qualification for Who's allowed to make Changes to these characters. I think that there's there's people that you know 200 years from now they could come up with new ideas We're like changing a character tweaking a character slightly and making a new version that could be interesting So My thing is I like Joel from the last of us a lot the first one Um And pedro pascal is playing him in the show I just see him as a different version of the same character However, pedro pascal plays him in the show Isn't going to affect Joel Existing in the original game and how I feel about him and i'll give him a shot to Lend his own interpretation of the character That's how I feel about it. Someone said if he kills innocent people in cold blood, we have a problem It's like I give up Like it's just not gonna work We adapt him to lose every single element of what you believe to be batman and it turns out to be great content And enough people adopt it and say this is batman now Which has happened before It doesn't matter how many changes you make it's about what the story itself is what the character itself is written as Feel like we're broken records at this point Yeah High rags. Yeah, all right. Yeah Bringy, have you ever drank colton draft and if so, how was it? I don't like beer Some other beer That's like one of the just australian beers and it's just yeah Maybe I have had I don't know. I don't I don't like beer Oh, it's just beer. I don't know We're people say that because beer tastes so different. It's such a very Sure it does. I'm sure it does, but I don't know anything about beer like It's just not something I'm familiar with Uh, some of the old commercials for that are hilarious.  That's a fair request. I I understand it Like I know why I know why I'd say it I think that fat girl should be in the next suicide squad. We'll just show up. That's fat gerald the man that can punch anything fists of That girl Uh, every single time he punches someone it just washes their head into the nearest object and then they twirl to the ground Um, I don't know if we've we've mentioned it before but on the priori fact I'm sure we have but uh fringy you did come out with a video about a movie and I'm assuming people are aware of it on the old leaf house, but if not I was gonna say it was just you and me and rags left now for the sort of outros Um, right you made it about toxic masculinity. I think Like like double dozen. Oh no, a dozen people get really angry at stuff or something a double half dozen There's the superb character writing in 12 angry man That's the new video and Otherwise, I've just been I've just been working on something. He's been working on some It's been keeping me a bit from end game stuff in the comic But there's the still comic page is coming out every week end game is happening Um, but yeah, I've just been working on on on this other this other project Um, but yeah And to be honest with you, that's the bigger We're struggling to keep up with uh, well, we've covered all the super chats for this stream, but um, Yeah, that backlog is on pause for a moment There's lots of things are happening and um, yeah I'm gonna be going right back to them as soon as I've gone to sleep slash eating and then recharge both of those batteries of forms um, but the stream is now unlisted And uh, we're pretty much at the point where I'm happy to say, uh, goodbye unless there is there anything else for anybody Who wants to say before we Loomp away Cock and balls cock and balls. Yeah. Yeah Anything else watch terriers watch terriers. There you go. I deserve better. Flip not deserve better. All right Milton Milton Okay That was real fun. Thank you guys for hanging out. Thanks so much for the donations next week At the same time will be evap 150 Which is your your good old-fashioned standard affair of a 24-hour set Of us with different guests all the way through looking at all kinds of videos Hopefully we'll have lots of fun. See you guys there Um, and until then Good night Yeah Good night. Good night everyone Toodaloo. Goodbye boy. I'm so tired I am exhausted. I I'm running on like an hour and a half of sleep Yeah, I got three out of my


Colleen Clark from Arlington, Virginia is pursuing a PhD in integrative design at the Stamps School of Art and Design. Her speech title is No Time Like The Present, Designing Real-Time Support for Novice Teachers. Please welcome Colleen. Imagine, this is your classroom at an elementary school, and it is your first week of teaching.  You start your lesson, and everything's going great. Students are listening intently, and they're asking thoughtful questions. But suddenly, in the back of the room, you hear some noises, and a group of students are starting to laugh and giggle. And another student looks really upset with tears brimming in his eyes. Chaos erupts. You try to mediate the situation, but things are headed south fast, and this isn't what it was like when you practiced.  Considering this story, it might not surprise you that education has a little bit of a teacher attrition problem. Fifty percent of novice teachers leave the profession within the first five years of their teaching. That would be as if, in this whole room today, we were all new teachers together, and within five years, from you to you, half just left. Not just left your job, but left the profession entirely. And we know from literature and anecdotally, that novice teachers report experiencing isolation and lack of support, or some of the main drivers, or why they're leaving the profession.  Design. And I'm a design graduate student. Now, some of you may think of design as the process that leads to an iPhone or a cool-looking poster. But designers, we also create services, experiences, and systems. Maybe you took the bus to get here today. The bus route? Designed. Have you ever ordered anything on Amazon? The process from ordering to receiving that item at your doorstep? Designed. And that line for TSA screening Designed. Badly. Oh, so badly, but still designed. Design thrives in ambiguity, in exploring messy spaces, and finding a different kind of approach to a given problem. More and more companies, governments, and institutions are looking to designers and their skillsets to help address the challenges of the 21st century. Designers can be navigators and guides towards previously unseen connections leading to more sustainable solutions. And this frequently happens in the context of collaborations where designers bring together a bunch of different disciplines. So, how can design help with this issue of teacher attrition and teacher training? Before I answer that question, I want to tell you another story. This story won't take place in a classroom, it's in a hospital. And if you listen closely, I think you'll notice some interesting similarities and differences between the classroom and the operating room.  You're about to remove the appendix from a healthy patient. A procedure that takes about 30 minutes, you've done it a ton of times before. You start the procedure, things are going smoothly. You're confidently making your first few moves.  Their heart rate slows. Alarms start going off all around the room. Your stomach drops. Your heart begins to race. You panic. You are losing them. Your mentor, the supervising attending physician, is in the room with you. And she has decades of experience. She has seen this happen before. She calmly guides you. You follow her instructions. The patient lives. You learn. And now you know a different approach for the next time this kind of thing happens. You heard the difference, right? Physician had that mentor in the room. The physician was able to avert disaster while still learning. Can we apply this type of model to how we train our teachers? If teachers got this type of real-time support, would it make them even better? Make them maybe just maybe less likely to leave? Now, given what I've told you about designers, I'd love to say that a designer alone came up with this idea. But it actually came from Demoji here at the School of Ed at the University of Michigan. Demoji is leading a partnership with Detroit Public Schools to create a teaching school based and inspired by the model of a teaching hospital. And this teaching hospital will be at Mary Grove, the school at Mary Grove, which is a brand-new school that just opened this past fall. I've been collaborating with Demoji and her team to try to figure out which elements and components of the medical model could transfer to teacher training. But the medical model cannot and should not transfer in its entirety to training teachers. However, there are certain elements that could be a really interesting source of inspiration for offering a different kind of support for novice teachers. Physicians get so much hands-on experience during their training. And in those experiences, they get frequent and timely feedback in the moment and support. And trainees report that this type of experience, this type of support, is absolutely critical in their development as physicians. Teachers don't have that, and they deserve it. So do their students, our children.  What would this look like, this real-time support in the classroom? Maybe you had a mentor teacher in the room with you, and she could model effective teaching strategies for you, or maybe expertly intervene on your practice when you needed that additional support. Some designer-lead type of approaches to this couldn't be from visual cues to sophisticated technology or somewhere in between. This here is a controversial example, and it's a strategy used recently by some schools. It's called a bug in the ear, and it's a process where as the teacher you would wear a Bluetooth earpiece, and then the mentor teacher would be in the back of the room with a walkie-talkie type of device and speak directly into it, guiding you in the moment without interrupting your lesson and be able to do that discreetly. Another possibility, maybe the mentor teacher has an app on her phone, and she records observations of your teaching in the moment, and then you have access to that same app, and you check it in between classes, and you can adjust your teaching strategy throughout the day. Or maybe this mentor teacher is like a catcher and baseball, and can communicate to you non-verbally your next move.  What would society look like if we could reduce this attrition rate? This is what designers do. We move society towards preferred futures. Now, let's be honest. Would you want to be the patient in an operating room with a rookie surgeon alone? No, I don't think so, and the rookie surgeon doesn't want that either. So, why do we accept this lack of real-time support for our teachers and their students? This is the type of question design asks and strives to help answer. Thank you.


Hello, everybody. Andrew Maeski here with Dental Tutoring. So often I get students asking me what is the best course to sign up for in preparation for the board exam. So I have a separate course for dental hygiene students and I have a separate course for dental assisting students also. But it depends on how much time you have to study. So I'm going to walk you guys through two of the different courses that I have, depending on if you're taking the board exam next month or if you have a little bit longer to study, I'd say six months, three to six months for the board exam prep academy. And then I do have that course that is good for a 30 day intense board exam prep. So it really does depend on how long you have. Obviously, the board exam prep academy has literally six months worth of material. You have full access for an entire year. But if you at least have six months to study, then that is the course for you because it does include a lot more. But first, let me say that everybody can sign up for the free practice test. So let me just show you guys where that is. So if you guys go to the main page at dentalel.podia.com and I will leave the links for you guys on the bottom too. But our free practice test is just right here. So can you pass the boards? So this is literally a free practice test. It's kind of tricky to really determine and see, well, are you on the way to being able to pass? Did you not do so well? Do you need to study more? That type of thing. So I'll just show you guys that link here. So as soon as you click that, this is where you have full access to the free practice test. I think I'm starting to lose my voice. I apologize here. I've been doing a lot of teaching lately. So as soon as you sign up for this, you do not have to pay anything. You have that full free test. So the nice thing is when you click inside, it will actually tell you guys if you have the answer right or wrong. And it will give you a percentage. So I do tell students to get at least a 70%. That is a pass. But I tell students in my eyes that's not a pass because I don't want you guys to only know 70% of the material for the board exam. I want you to know 80% or more. But technically, a pass is 70%. So I'll just actually show you guys that for one sec. Okay. Here we go. So just to kind of show you guys, so this is the full practice test where you can actually pick your, obviously answers and then it will tell you right away if it's incorrect or correct. Actually, this is kind of my login because I made the quiz. So let me log in to show you guys what you guys would see. There we go. So once you guys log in, sometimes you have to click the three lines up here to access the table of content. So then you would do that, click on the practice test quiz right here, and then you can start the quiz. And then it will take you to it. So let's just pick one here. So potassium ions are what ions found inside a neuron during the resting state. So let's say you thought it was positive. Submit the answer. Oh, you've got the answer. Correct. Let's go to the next one. So this will keep track of the answers you have correct and incorrect, and it will give you guys a percentage at the end. So let me just move on again to the other areas. Let me just cancel out of this here. Where are we? Sorry guys, one moment here. I'm just moving along. So that is for the free practice test. So let's say you only have 30 days left to study for the exam or you have a very limited time. Taking the full board exam prep academy would not make sense because the board exam prep academy is if you have at least three months to study, even up to six months. You have literally everything you need to know for the exam here. Actually, I'll show you guys that. So this is literally everything you have to know. You get a full one year access plus plus access to all of our tutoring sessions, which I do do live tutoring sessions with the group about twice a month. And you get full access to to the previously recorded sessions 2017, 2018 and now 2019. So you get access to everything. The board exam prep academy are for those who have taken the exam in the past and have not passed. So obviously, you know, you had missed the mark on something which does happen. The exam is tough. So this helps students know what to study, when to study, how to study. But this course is also for students who have not taken the board exam yet and just don't know where to start. So I'll just kind of show you guys. So you literally have like PowerPoints, modules, mock exams, case studies on every single topic. So if you go one by one, take a couple weeks per topic, you will learn everything you have to know. You don't have to open up the textbook ever again. It's perfect. But let's just say you have a month left or two months left even. You don't really have a lot of time. And you know, you need a tutoring prep course of some kind, but you don't have a lot of time at all. But you want to make sure you know what you have to to pass the board exam. So if you don't have a lot of time, then move over to our 30 day intense board exam prep. So this obviously isn't as large because you would not be able to study all of those in 30 days. So what I do for this one is you will get about three topics per week for four whole weeks on exactly what you have to know for the board exam. I include a module. I include a lecture video or two depending on how large the topic is. I include the mock exam quiz. So the same type of practical quiz. And I include, sorry, I kind of lost my train of thought. And I include a live tutoring session every single month also for you to ask questions. So this you have full full access for six months. Okay, so six months. Yeah, but this is more for if you don't have a lot of time. But as you guys can see, there's still a lot there, but just obviously not a crazy amount. Because if you guys have had six months worth of material having to study that in a month, you would be like, oh my God, I don't know what to do. This is crazy. Yeah, so this one is for 30 days. But this is intense. Like this is not for somebody who has not who doesn't really know what they're doing and who hasn't studied yet. Technically, you could take this course if you haven't studied yet, if you only have 30 days, so you will have to do something, right? But this is more for those students who are pretty sure that they have studied everything. They don't know what else to study, but they need to make sure that they know the main points. So does that make sense? So I do have a dental assist. So I had shown you the dental hygiene board exam prep academy first. So this one here. And then I had shown you the 30 days dental hygiene board exam prep. So I will leave the links for you guys on the bottom there. But I do also have have the dental assisting too. So there's a separate course for the dental assisting board exam prep, which you have full access to for one full year. So case studies, mock exams, tutoring modules, everything. If you have at least three months to study, six months is preferred. But at least three months, you could go through everything. So as you guys can see, again, there's tons here. But if you're a dental assisting student and you're saying, OK, I have 30 days to study. I have maybe two months, but that's it. This course would be too much for you. So take it down and you want to do our 30 day dental assisting board exam prep. So this has the same thing as the dental hygiene one, but just for dental assistance. So you get mock exams, you get case studies, you get an hour of live tutoring. You get modules, lectures, everything, but just in a more condensed format. Sorry, guys, I keep losing my voice. But yeah, do you guys have any questions about anything? So I do hope that that helps because I know a lot of you have been logging on to the website. I do have a lot of courses for sure, but this just kind of helps to tell you guys, OK, it depends. Do you have 30 days to study or do you have six months? If you have 30 days, this one makes the most sense to you. Our 30 day board exam prep. But if you have more time, then I do suggest taking the board exam prep Academy because you get everything. Literally, you do not have to open up a textbook again. So let me know if you guys have any questions. I'll leave the link for you guys on the bottom there. Thank you so much for listening and I will talk to you all very, very soon.


Alright guys, what's up? It's me again. Down in San Diego today, gonna meet up with Doughty in a little bit. Question of the video is, is skateboarding still worth getting into in 2021? As someone that's been skateboarding for a long time, I'm always interested to why people get into skating. Like if someone says they've been skating for like a year or two, I often ask them like, what got you into skateboarding? And it's quite interesting what they come back with. Sometimes it can be like friends or family that skate or they've seen something on TV about skateboarding and they've seen a movie that had a little bit of skateboarding in it. Or like, I've even heard TikTok. People get into skateboarding from TikTok, which is a positive, I guess, but yeah. So Doughty and I are rolling out from City Heights to here's our little slab spot, the DIY spot that's still going. Pretty keen to check it out, having to be down there. Looks like there's some more stuff to skate, so yeah. I'm having a bit of trouble skating. Like, you know when you skate, you have that mind-body kind of connection, which allows you to skate and like you can just, you're like one. I feel like my mind and my body are like two different things. And I'm like, my mind knows how to do the trick, but my body is like, I haven't skated for a minute there. So hopefully at this next spot, I can get some more clips. So I just googled it and it's brain fog. My brain feels foggy, kind of a weird description, but yeah. My brain feels foggy. Hope it goes away because I want to be able to skate today. It's my first proper skate since like a few weeks ago. So my ankle still hurts a little bit. I'm just trying to push through for you guys. And plus I want to skate today. It's nice weather outside. It's not like 40 degrees outside. It's not a hundred degrees Fahrenheit, I should say. But it's like 40 degrees Celsius up here. So yeah. But back to the topic of the video. So I feel like skateboarding has never before had this amount of exposure with it being in the Olympics and everything now. I mean, the second biggest amount of exposure. I think skateboarding has had was like the X Games when Tony Hawke landed the 900. So I feel like with more eyes on skateboarding, people are going to take more interest in skating. They're going to want to fall down that rabbit hole per se. And then you'll have more people wanting to buy setups and like learn new tricks and just generally learn about the skateboarding lifestyle and culture and sport. I don't know if you can call skateboarding a sport. Can you call skateboarding a sport? No, it's been in the Olympics. I don't know. I feel weird calling it a sport. I feel like it's more of a lifestyle, I guess. Like if I didn't skateboard, I don't know. I feel like I wouldn't know who I am. All right. We've got some vegan cookies and a brisk to fight this brain fog. Hopefully this gives me a boost feeling tired today. You find the weirdest stuff at DIYs.  I reckon they've come from 7-Eleven because they got to chuck their donuts out like at the end of the day and they've gone in the dumpster and just pulled them out. Check them out, it's gnarly. You can still smell them, but yeah, they look nasty. You guys haven't seen this spot before. Really cool little DIY down here in San Diego. Doughty and a few other guys did majority of the work, I think. I know he put in that quarter pipe and this little cool kerb spine thing behind me. Looks like some other people have like brought some other random stuff down. This bench is really sick. A few more kerbs. I don't think Doughty did this one. I think someone else might have done this, but it is solid. Really nice manual pad slash ledge combo here. There's a sick pole jam. Someone's just grabbed a pole and literally just jammed it into the ground. It's pretty sick. Doughty and I have been skating this little DIY here for a little while now. I was just curious to hear your point of view about people coming into skating via different mediums. Like, how long have you been skating now? Man, it's always hard, but I think I've been skating probably for all of my now. I just turned 35, so probably like realistically like 25 years. Yeah, that's like a lot. But like for like a good amount of time. But to be honest, my dad had a skateboard. Skateboards were always around me. I was very fortunate and very privileged to have access to that. But at the same time, I didn't really care for it because it was there. So like it didn't intrigue me as much as like other people were like, maybe however people discover skateboarding. Sometimes it can intrigue you so much more because it's something that you don't see so often. So for me, it was like very common that it was just there. I've been skating pretty much my whole life. Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, cause a lot of a lot of younger kids, a lot of younger kids are getting into skating via like Gowdy said fashion and then there's like TikTok, Instagram. You ever see those movie clips and then there's like skateboarding in the movie? Or like mid 90s even? Yes, that's a big one. Like cause it's like the camaraderie. I think also it's like the culture, right? Like I think a big part of why people gravitate towards skateboarding in general is not even the act of skateboarding, but it's the culture of skateboarding. It's like people enjoy the idea of having friends to go out and do stuff with and kind of like be in their own social bubble and create their own identities and ways. So I mean the act of skateboarding is obviously the core of it. But at the same time, I think people gravitate to just like the culture of skateboarding in general. For sure, for sure. What would you, what advice would you offer to anyone that's like trying to, cause people are intimidated to start skating. Yeah, it's an intimidating thing. Yeah. What would you, what advice would you give to someone like wanting to get into skating but they're kind of hesitant? Well, I think the first thing I would say is just find your comfort zone and find like what resonates with you most like I skate more transition Sean skates more street. But I think that was because like when I saw a transition when I was younger I resonated with that and it made sense to me. And I was really intimidated by the street section. Like I was just so scared to go over there and to me at the skate park there was no one skating the bull. So it's easy for me to like just go over there and kind of like mess around with the bull and get comfortable there.  You might like freestyle. You can freestyle in a parking lot. So that's cool. You might like flat ground. You can just find like a parking garage and learn flat ground. But like skating alone and progressing alone can be hard. Luckily we have the internet these days. So there's Facebook groups. There's YouTube channels, you know, they're sort of different like resources as far as like progressing. But yeah, what's your original question? Hopefully I didn't go too far on a tangent there. I mean, that was pretty good advice. Like find your comfort zone. Find your comfort zone. Yeah. And if you're just getting into it, like I think the most important thing when you're just getting into it is realize that there are no rules with skateboarding. Like there's no rules. I try to say like in every video and like every trick and everyone's going to try to push their own agenda onto you. Like here's how you trade flip. Here's how you should look when you skateboard. Here's the right board to ride. Here's where you should skate, who you shouldn't skate with. Things like that. So like don't listen to any of that. I think it would be good also to realize that because they're just trying to make you fit into there. So I guess the point that I'm saying, getting at is like whatever you like, just do it. Just try it out. And even if it's not cool, just keep trying it because I don't know.  Yeah. And what Doughty just raised to my attention right now is getting into skating for the right reasons. Like you can get into skating because you're generally interested and you want to progress and you're having fun doing it. Or you can like there's other paths of like trying to get into it to be cool or to impress your your crush or like stuff like that, which is fine. I guess, but it won't, it won't last long stick to it. And I think like if you really want, if you really think like skateboarding is cool and you really want to try it, you have to do it for yourself. Yeah. You can't do it so that like just so people think you're cool. Like you could do it to have friends. That's not what I'm saying. But like don't do it just to like have like social gain.  Yeah.  Like I know sometimes when you're all up to the park and there's people like throwing down, it's super intimidating to like want to like try stuff. But at the end of the day, everyone's there skating and having fun and they're not going to care what you're doing, you know, as long as you're respectful and you're not kind of like snaking anyone or anything like that. Everyone's going to be cool nine times out of 10. So don't let other people's skating ability put you off your own and like don't let it kind of discredit you as well. Like if you just learned how to do an Oli or you've learned how to like kickflip that's rad. Like I remember learning my first kickflip.  Don't let it put you off something else. Like if you are intimidated by the skate park or by the idea of going and out and skating in public or even going to the skate shop and getting a skateboard. Yeah, I think what I'll say with that is like a lot of the times if you're if you're going for it and you're being authentic most of the time people want to support you like if I see someone like slamming at the skate park and they fall normally I want to go help them and like tell them how to do it because like it gets me excited because I know what that process is like. So a lot of times like experienced skaters almost like good but like experienced skaters a lot of times want to help and like get excited seeing someone else kind of like their fire is getting lit.  You know like I guess what I'm saying is like skaters are normally pretty supportive individuals of each other like especially if like you're authentically they're trying to learn it and like you're falling and you're just trying it like it might sound embarrassing but the reality is you're probably going to look like the coolest person at that park to most of the legit skateboarders like what Doughty just said about other skaters wanting to help you if you guys haven't seen that video when I hit my first street hand rail Dan was there and he was helping me throughout the whole process like I had a mental breakdown. I was like I know I could do it but there was that that gap between where you throw down and just about when you're popping there's like a wall and he helped me like push through that wall and I was able to get the rail that day and it was sick but just him seeing that kind of fired him up as well. So that's like another big thing in skateboarding. I think that's just like the culture comes with it. So like skating alone is like a whole separate conversation than like what we're saying sort of because what we're saying is like more if you're intimidated just if you can puncture that barrier I mean it comes with confidence. I don't know it can be you can find it from other ways not skateboarding but essentially you know just remembering that not everyone's there looking at you talking about you or judging you they're there like on their own mission as well most of the time. We're at the third spot of the day. This little DIY spot that Doughty had built and then it got ripped out and then someone else fixed it. I don't think we know who who do you know who fixed this spot because you built it first right. Yeah.  It's crazy. It's like the mystery DIY spot. So originally me my buddy Al we built a ledge that you can see it's kind of getting it iterated. Then we built two banks. It's exactly what it was but it was a lot harder because more simple is just in the block and then someone destroyed it within like a week after I posted a video of it and then I sat on it for a while. I was like I'm not going to do anything. It just sat there. Someone destroyed it. It was crumbled so they didn't clean it up. It wasn't the city. They just left it there. And then months later all of a sudden I saw a picture of someone skating and it was this. So I have no idea who fixed it and someone came along and used the forums basically. Yeah, it looks smooth. Slowly destroying it. I can give you a video. I don't know if you want it but the other day I came over here in the morning and this guy was slowly destroying it and I filmed him and he was like oh you front it. Yeah, I confronted him. This is like me just getting here. Look at him. Look at him. He's taking all the stuff and putting his little bucket. Elbow deep. Trying to pull out a spot.  Harmless spot. Taken hours out of his day to come and do this. And then like here he is. So he had like a full line of arms.  Crazy. But yeah there's these two banks here. You can war right over. I don't think I'm going to be able to war right over but daddy can do it. There was a ledge in the middle. There's their daddy forever. And there's also a up ledge. Krusty Krusty East Coast Pacific Northwest style spot here. You got a curb. And then yeah it's a pretty good flat gap here too. Down this way. Hit Olly. And then land here and then roll onto the car park there. It's a decent sized gap. Yeah. Yeah he went into a manual. That's so sick. You got out really smooth though. Thanks G. To summarize on the topic of the video. I think it's rad if you're wanting to get into skateboarding this year. Or even next year or last year you know. The more people getting into skateboarding. I keep trying to say like the sport. Do you feel like it's a sport or a lifestyle? I feel like you know that's like such like that's a topic for another video right. Yeah that's a. Is skateboarding a sport or is it a lifestyle? Yeah. Or is it an art form? I mean it's so subjective. It's like whatever you want to make it like. If it's a contest probably more of a sport term. But if it's like a street part it's probably more on the art side. Yeah. It can like range. That's what's beautiful about skateboarding. Yeah it's different realms of skateboarding within skateboarding. But to touch base with the topic. I think it's rad because um. Well if you guys are watching from Australia. There's a chain of skate stores. Skate shops sorry called Fast Times. A little bit of research and Fast Times is actually owned by Zoomies. So Zoomies have invested money down under to open up these shops. And a few of my friends applied to work there. A couple of my friends are on the team. Not a couple. One of my friends on the team sorry. And he works there as well. Shouts out to Watsie who works at Fast Times. And it's sick because it's giving more of a community sense to skateboarding. Like my local mall in my old hometown now has a big skate shop. And it's going to bring more kids in that are buying completes around their birthday around Christmas. They're walking by it every day. They're going to say oh I wonder what that thing is on the wall there mommy. Can we go and have a look? You know ski parks. Yeah. And it's just it's raising more skate awareness. So I think that's the biggest part is like skate awareness. And I think the Olympics is like the biggest amount of exposure. Yeah. There's been in history you know. So it's definitely a good thing. Don't let don't let it be like oh no. Don't get into skating because you miss that bus. Like it's already been like don't listen to people that talk like that. Like you want to get into skating like get into it. You know anything like skating for sure like that's the topic of this video. But it's like in general if you enjoy doing something just because it's saturated or desaturated doesn't mean you have to like not do it based off like the market market or whatever. You know like just skateboarding is sick and it's always going to be here and it's always going to be something very special. So you know if it's something that excites you try it out. Yeah definitely. You have our blessing.
