Just a four-game slate and an early lock time for today in daily fantasy baseball. So our job is to break down this four-game slate, let you know where you can find upside over on Fanduul, get you off on your way so you can fill out your lineups before lock, which is set for 107 p.m. Eastern. We're gonna break that down right now to get you ready for Thursday's slates. Welcome on into the solo shot. That's right here on the Fanduul podcast network and numberfire.com. My name is Jim Saunas. I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire here to break down Thursday's four-game main slate with locks up for 107 p.m. Eastern for today. Now, there is there are three games tonight. There currently is no slate available for those specifically on Fanduul. I'm gonna talk about those three games because I assume a slate will be up eventually for them. But as of right now, there's nothing so if you want to check out thoughts without salaries for that three-game slate later on, check out the timestamp in the episode description, jump there, see what we got, or if you're listening after 107 p.m. Eastern and don't want to listen to the main slate, just jump ahead to that and see what my thoughts are. And again, hopefully there's a slate up because if not, oh well, we're gonna go through that. So just three pitchers and three stacks of the main slate to get you on your way. As far as weather goes on this main slate, three retractable roofs on this slate, two of those should be closed. That is in Miami for the Marlins and the Padres and in Arizona for the Diamondbacks and Rockies. That one they've already said will be closed for today. So downgrade park factor there. Downgrade park factor kind of, I guess in Miami, the part of the roof is closed pretty often there. So that doesn't make a huge difference. But Toronto, it should be open 81 degrees there. Also 81 in New York for the Mets and Phillies. So best parks as far as temperature for today are in Toronto for the Brewers and Blue Jays and in New York for the Phillies and Mets. Still do like Arizona, obviously, but not full Arizona with the roof being closed for today. We'll dive in and outline what that means. Talk about some pitchers, talk about some stacks here in just one second. But first, a reminder to make sure you're subscribed to the Number Fire Daily Fantasy podcast feed.

Kevin Gosman comes in with the highest salary on Fandall. He checks in at 11 1 followed by Jesus Lazardo at 10,000. Freddy Peralta checks in at 93 with Max Scherzer at 9200. Nobody else above 8,000 on this slate.  I have had fun with all those guys at some point throughout this year. And there's also a value play like, but despite that, I think that Kevin Gosman has to be the top guy. He's at home facing a banged up brewers offense right now. I think he needs to be number one, despite the lofty salary at 11,100 dollars and brewers lacking one of their best hitters right now in William Domus. The active roster without him has just a 99 a WRC plus against righties with a 24% strikeout rate and they don't get a ton of fly balls. The fly ball aspect is good for Gosman because he has struggled with hard contact this year. It's been a big flaw for him thus far. The hard hit rate for Gosman across 11 starts is 44%. That's why he's had some underwhelming starts. Even in those underwhelming starts, though, the strikeouts have been there. He has a 32% strikeout rate overall with a 6% walk rate. He has had eight plus strikeouts in six of 11 stars and he had seven in two others. So if we put Gosman up against an offense that's healthier or more dangerous than the brewers are right now, I'd be okay pivoting, but the brewers aren't that at the moment. I have Gosman projective for 8.4 strikeouts that is the tops on the slate by a good margin. So I'll put in there myself too. Even on a good slate, Kevin Gosman is number one. Now, number two is a value play and I do think this guy might not be second overall for me straight up, but once you account for his low salary at $7,500, he is. That guy is Joe Musgrove and he's had some bumpy starts so far this year. His overall year rate is 5.64, but I don't think that's an accurate representation of how he has pitched. And he started to pick things up recently, got a great matchup for tonight.  That is the best matchup on the slate here. They have an 87 WRC plus against righties with a 32% fly ball rate and a 122 ISO. They're not a big strikeout team, but they also don't draw many walks, which allows pitchers to get deep in games against them. I had the Marlins money line last night and regretted it for most of that game. They did win eventually, but like, you're kind of thinking, why did I have any faith this offense could score a single run because they did not until the night thinning. That's kind of the offense I've got right now. Musgrove was injured open this year, but it was his toe. I guess I don't care a ton about that. His velocity so far is actually higher this year than it was last year. He's throwing fewer sinkers, which we always love. He's also cutting back on his sliders, which is not as fun, but hasn't been a terrible thing because he's been doing this now for 17 starts dating back to last year. And I'm okay taking a broader sample on Musgrove because the B-Low has still been good so far this year. In that 17 star sample, he has a 3.71 skill interactive ERA with a 24% strikeout rate, and he has led a very little hard contact. When you put that in a matchup like this, the floor is very high. I think he has a path to a good ceiling too. So I'm going to buy into Musgrove before we see him fully pop off this year. I think the matchup is conducive to that and it's a small slate. For $7,500, that's more than enough to make Musgrove after considering his salary. Second, pretty easily. Let's say you just want to be off of Gosmin for today, I think you pivot to Musgrove as being your top guy on this slate. I feel good about that personally. I know it has not worked out yet, but I think the building blocks for a good game are very much there for Musgrove. So Gosmin won Musgrove 2. The third slot is between Max Scherzer and Jesus Elizardo. I like both these guys. I'm going to rank Scherzer higher. His salary is lower, which does help. $800 lower. He's at $92 whereas Elizardo is at $10,000. But Elizardo is close enough if you are wary of Scherzer, which is justifiable for sure. Scherzer, though, coming off his best start of the year, he held the Rockies to one run at Coors Field across seven innings. He had eight strikeouts there and a 15.7% swinging strike rate. Now, that is a great matchup for a righty and he's facing the Phillies today. That's a lot tougher than facing the Rockies regardless of where it is. 103 WRC plus for the Phillies against righties, but they will strikeout. 24% strikeout rate for them. So I don't know if Scherzer is fully back, but his salary is not fully back up, so that helps. He's at home, which is nice. I've got him projected for 6.13 strikeouts, which is legitimately identical down to the hundreds place, identical to Elizardo's mark. So I don't blame you if you want to go Elizardo, but I do give this light edge to Scherzer. To me, it is going to be Gosmin 1, Musgrove 2, Scherzer 3, Elizardo 4, and I think there might be a tier difference between Musgrove and Scherzer after you consider the salary on Musgrove for today. That's pitching. Let's talk now about stacks. Stacks, I do think are a bit harder because a lot of the offenses that are in good matchups are bad offenses. I don't think that's entirely true with Arizona, and they're going to be the top stack for today. They're facing Conor Siebold, and Siebold, I think we got a large on the sample here to say we can stack against him. We're up to six longer outings for Siebold as he stretches out. Five starts, one longer relief outing. It's a profile we can stack against in those six outings. He has a 5.39 skill interactive ERA with a 14% strikeout rate. He's letting up enough hard contact and fly balls to be good with stacking against him. ERA is 6.23. That's not something I want to hold against him because four of those six appearances have been a coarse field. But for Siebold, the most recent road start was in Arlington against the Rangers. Very good offense, but let up five earned runs and two homers there. Arizona's offense not as good as Texas's. They're not great, but they're not bad. They got an above average WRC plus at 102 against Reides. The RISO is 178, which you'll take. They have guys who will steal. That's less of a factor against the Rockies because they are pretty good at suppressing that. But I do think there's upside here. I'm going to put the Diamondbacks at the top of my list as a result and feel pretty good about that. Now if we're using Gosmin, we got to find some salary savers. And Jake McCarthy is still batting lower in the order for the Diamondbacks. Probably going to bat eighth for today. And that can make him tough to swallow for 26 because that's not a super low salary. But I am definitely interested in McCarthy. He is very willing to run. He's become a rabbit recently. He has five steals this past three games. He has not hit the ball well since coming back up, but his expected Woba is above 300. That's bad. That's not saying this is a good thing. I'm saying he's not a total dud, I guess, to hit her pretty close, but not quite there. So I'm willing to give him a spin here for DFS because in his past, he's had better data as far as the hitting stuff goes. And we know there is a baseline for upside with the running. So McCarthy get a bit low in the order, but low salary. You want extra flexibility to get to Gosmin if you're using him. I think that McCarthy can be a good route for doing so. Number two is going to be the Nets. They are in a facing a pitcher in a revenge game. And Taiwan Walker, who gets to face his old team, and Walker did have a nice outing last week. We held the Braves two, just three runs across six and two thirds innings, but I am going to stack against him here. I stacked against Walker for that Braves game too, which obviously did not go well, but it could have been good because he had just one strikeout and one walk, which means he let up 26 balls in play in that game. The hard hit rate was 39%. Let up a couple barrels in that game too. And he wasn't killing worms or anything. Walker has been throwing more cutters and fewer sliders recently. He has a six star sample doing that, and his hard hit rate allowed in that time is 46%, which is the highest number on the main slayer for today. His skill interactive ERA is 4.91. He has a 17% strikeout rate, and that combination of the hard contact and the low strikeout rate has led to some rough starts. He got just two outs against the Giants, let up four and runs before being yanked there. He let up eight earned runs on three home runs of the Dodgers. Facing the Mets tonight, 107 WRC plus against Righties. I think it's wise to stack against Walker here and see if we can potentially get some regression after what he did last week. I think now's a good time to buy into Francisco Lindor, the salary not super low at 35, but also not restricted by any means. But the past two weeks, Lindor has a 49% hard hit rate. His ISO is 255, and he does steel bases. That's important because the power for Lindor has not been there this year as much as in the past. If you were to add that back in on top of the steels, he becomes the guy you really want to build around in DFS. The salary 35 is not super low by any means, but I think it's very appropriate. I want to build around guys like Lindor, like Corbin Carroll who have two sources of upside via the steels and the power. Lindor getting back to that right now. I think now is the right time to buy in, given the bad at ball data is improving. We have seen that translate to some decent results as far as the batting goes as well. The third stack today is going to be the Rockies. It's not a course, so I'd really rather not do this. In fact, I hate doing it, but it's a thin slate, lot of good pitchers. They kind of want a third by default. They're facing Zach Davies who is, it is just his fourth start back. He's got knock around quite a bit so far. His expected ERA is 5.87, issuing too many walks, not enough strikeouts. He is still doing a good job with contact suppression, and that's how Davies has gotten by in the past. He could do that again here, but the Rockies are better against righties than lefties. They're WRC plus 93 against righties versus 66 against lefties, so the shutout last night, not great, but at least it's a righty now. They don't have the worst play discipline numbers. If you want to pivot elsewhere, can't blame you for a second. I would give thought to the Padres against Lazardo because he does let up a lot of fly balls. Don't want to stack against him because I like him a lot, but that's probably where I'd turn next. Those fly balls could get him in trouble against him that does have some powerful bats in the Padres, but I think the Rockies, the slightly better route here, despite the fact it kind of makes you want to vomit, just thinking about doing so. There are two guys in this team who have shown both power and speed against righties. Again, that's what we want to build around at DFS this year. Those guys are Ryne McMahon and Brenton Doyle. McMahon has been on a power binge lately, but also has four steals this year. Doyle strikes out a ton, but when you're facing a guy like Davies, that's not as big of a concern. He has seven steals in the major so far, and a 288 ISO and a small sample against righties.  He ran a decent amount of the minors. He's hit the ball well so far in the majors. There is some uncertainty on him if Charlie Blackman comes back today. I would assume that Jones sticks around because he got called up before Blackman went on the bereavement list. He probably will stay up, but if he does, you would have Jones, McMahon, and Doyle as all guys with two inferior sources of upside in this matchup. I think that's pretty attractive. Some uncertainty of the roster if Blackman does come back, but I do think that McMahon, Doyle, and Jones, all guys who give us multiple sources of upside, which is what we should want in DFS right now. Dinger calls for this main slate. I'm going to go with the boring one with Peter Lanzo, because it's Peter Lanzo, facing Taiwan Walker, letting him a lot of hard contact. Walker doesn't have extreme platoon splits, so let's just make it easy on ourselves and go with Peter Lanzo for the first Dinger call. It's Peter Lanzo. He's great matchup, so Peter Lanzo. The fun one, I will go Nolan Jones. Good power numbers in the minors. Obviously, the AAA park for the Rockies is also pretty offensive-friendly, so have to take it with a grain of salt, but Davies lets up a lot of balls and play. Jones can strike out too much, so that does help him there, but I think he's at least interesting. We'll go with Peter Lanzo and Nolan Jones as he Dinger calls on the main slate for today. Let's talk briefly about the late slates and that. Again, it's not up yet, so I actually don't know if they'll have a slate up, but there is the all-day slate. If you want to translate some of these thoughts over to that hypothetically, but let's talk about it quickly, and then if you want to consider these teams with the all-day slate, or if you find a slate elsewhere, let's just talk about it. Pitcher for the three games tonight, I would be highest on Frumber Valdez. There are a lot of guys here you consider, like Chris Sale, Hunter Green, Pablo Lopez, Tanner Bebe. You can consider five of the six guys legitimately, but Valdez does the best job of combining strikeouts with very good ground ball data. I'm a big Hunter Green guy, but he's on the road against a lower strikeout team that hurts his upside. Could definitely consider Chris Sale as well, but I prefer Valdez. He'd be my number one pitcher for the after-hours slate. As for stacks, I've been on Reed Detmerz as a pitcher quite often this year. In fact, his last two starts, I've been on him, but he's letting up too much hard contact still, which means we could go at the Astros against him. They have a 182 iso against lefties, a 42% fly ball rate. They're not the team I'd want to face if I are Reed Detmerz, because of the way that they mesh against him. Some good stack in the Astros here, and they'd be my favorite stack on the after-hours slate. The second stack is tough. I think you could consider the Red Sox against Hunter Green. He is coming off an amazing start. His second start was gone. Six plus innings and let up no hits, which is pretty impressive to do that twice in, I think, less than a year, around a year. Again, I like what he's doing. He gets a lot of strikeouts, but there's still a lot of fly balls, still a lot of hard contact here. There's at least a path to the Red Sox being good play for tonight. I'd give a slide edge to the Red Sox as the number two stack behind the Astros over the Twins against Tanner Bybee. Bybee is pitching really well as past three games with an alternate approach, so don't want to go there. Don't really want to stack Cleveland because they stink, despite the fact that Pablo Lopez has let up a bit too much hard contact recently. To me, stacking would be Astros, then Red Sox with Fromber Valdez as the top pitcher on the after-hours slate. That's all we got here for today on The Solo Shot.

Good afternoon everyone. So I work at Honest B and my talk flows in very well with what Florian just discussed about monolithic applications And oftentimes what you find is that as your application size grows bigger and the business requirements keep flowing in Certain parts of the application You know, they just get bulky and it becomes harder to change them for various reasons I mean if you if you don't have a sophisticated system like Shopify does and you know Sometimes you have to wait longer for bills to run deployments become slower Tests need to be you know, you have to have a powerful set of test suite And if you don't if you don't feel confident about certain integration tests, you know Surely you have to have put in QA efforts and so on But obviously splitting up applications is not Something it comes with additional responsibility and there are certain Cons, you know or rather certain additional like headaches that it brings along So I don't want to get into whether you should or you shouldn't split it split it up because I think that's another topic All together, but should you choose to do it? What are some of the good ways or what are some of the ways to think about it, especially from a development point of view? Not thinking about the deployment challenges involved in this process so I'd first like to show you this diagram and Let's say you decide to split services into you know different You take a big service and you start taking out some of the you know some of the components of the service out There's various ways for these services to actually talk to each other and one of the common ways is Http now one of the issues with services talking via API's is that Every single service is aware of the concern of the other service. So let me give an example let's say you have a service that creates users and You also want to do this additional notification, you know logic where every time a user is created Maybe you want to send a notification for verification of the user or send out welcome emails and so on and Notification itself is something that can be that is useful across your system not just for users So maybe you think about hey, maybe I can separate out notifications into a separate service Now if you were making your two services contact each other via API's You know user creation service now has a contract that it needs to follow and it needs to know that at some point when the user is Created successfully it has to send out a you know an API call to another service on the right you have a slightly different approach to this and You may choose to use one or the other. It's not a complete black or white situation But the benefit of the second approach for at least the example that I just spoke about is that your user creation service only cares about creating a user and Once it's done with that it pushes that event out into a message pass and the services that actually care about Anything to do with user creation decide to then pick it up pick up that event and do certain things like sending out notifications And so on so in a way you're reducing the coupling between your services And you're also separating the concerns of different services quite clearly when you use such a system So fundamentally it's this Philosophy of fire and forget where as a user creation service I fire a message and then I don't really care what happens and then another service picks it up and it processes it and Once it's done processing it maybe prints an acknowledgement back And you know if a service cares enough about it they pick it up and they continue with it And that's how the flow continues Now there is various tools to do it and once again I wouldn't want to get into the debate because Everybody's use cases and situations may demand different tools But let's say you choose to do it using Kafka, which is actually a highly scalable Distributed tool it provides a certain replication factor. So, you know, it's highly reliable and so on so been used by a lot of organizations so for those of you who may not have worked with that some of the terms just before we get into a More deeper example is a concept of a producer. So you have producers that are constantly You know just publishing messages to the bus and they're doing it in a particular topic Which is basically, you know, what what I if it's a user creation Maybe you have a topic called user and so on right and these topics are then divided into partitions And the benefit of splitting things into partition is that it can be it can exist across multiple machines So it makes it highly, you know scalable and then you can also have your consumers subscribe to Certain topics and read it simultaneously off a particular partition So you can have multiple consumer processes that are running and that are simultaneously reading it So it also gives you this whole notion of parallel processing of messages. So that's what makes Kafka highly superior and a Really good choice as a message pass. So some of the key terms are producers not going too much into detail of you Know all the other stuff that happens in the background But you have your producer consumer and your topic and so let's talk about the simple use case that I spoke about in the beginning Which is a user creation and maybe just sending something as simple as like a welcome message to the user saying hey Thanks for signing up so the first thing you want is a producer and The producer is the one what we found out in our rails application context is that oftentimes the events that you Want to send out are linked to Database changes so it could be a insertion to your database So it could be an update to your database and oftentimes these are the events that you want to push to the message bus There might be others but these actually compose majority of the events that we wanted different applications to respond to and so one way to do that is To have code to send out messages spread across your application and That definitely brings around a you know a bit of duplication So then fine, you know you bring it into callbacks in the models Some of things you know when you when you allow different developers to just add logic to send messages to Kafka based on certain events is that To an extent you want to have certain contracts followed even when you publish things to Kafka So for example metadata, right? Maybe you want to have a timestamp included in every single one of your messages So where I'm driving at is that it does make sense to Centralize the logic of sending the message itself and adding some of the metadata attributes the contents and the topic of the message can be Configurable but some of the other factors around it remains like us, you know, it's a similar logic across the base. So What does it look like in practice? So basically this is what we ended up doing we created a concern that allowed Let me just show it to you what it looks like so it just basically is something that can be included inside your model and You just had a simple published statement with arguments that are fundamentally erased because you do have situations where you want to publish Multiple times from within the same model. So for example when the user's creation I want to send a message to a particular topic for user creation and I want to use an existing serializer that Decides what the format of the messages and when the user's updated, maybe I want to only send a message conditionally if the phone number of the user's updated and and at that point I want to have a different like a message blob, which is you know coded inside based on the new attributes like the phone number and so on right so you can have an array of messages that get sent out for each of your for each of your models and That's how you have your first, you know a simple producer where Every single creation or update can be then published to the message bus now as and when you're publishing messages at some point You do want to pick up those messages and process them and do something with them And that's where one of the libraries that we discovered is caravka Which makes it really really easy to set up a very simple and clean structure across your application where you basically use You you create a central configuration and you register a controller to a topic So you can create applications which are actually having consumers consuming from multiple topics or multi-topic Applications in a way and once you define this mapping so you can see that it's actually just quite simple configuration You can define your controller code and I mean it's advisable to keep your controller code Lean so yeah So what I've done here in this case is that I've just created a separate service to send out SMS in this case and I'm just picking up the The the phone number of the user as well as the name of the user from the message that was sent to the message bus And that's it and that's where your consumer logic is so I can show you a running example I haven't advised not to do demos and short talks because you know whatever Has to go wrong will go wrong But I'm just gonna do it anyway because I just want to show that it's actually really easy at least from a development point of You and you know the barriers to do it is really little just because we have a really good ecosystem at least in Ruby to do this so So this is my code that I was just talking about and this is the this is the application that basically Has the you know, it's the same code that you just saw on the slides So a little bit redundant and then this is where your controller is which is exactly the same logic and When I go into my terminal oops All right, so what I have here is I have my real server running on one end And then I also on the right hand side in this particular window I have my caravka server running so caravka just a bit of background is that it takes the messages in the message bus and it pushes it into Sidekick cues and then you have sidekick workers that are basically picking those messages up and Sending it to your controller and the controller then processes the message so the right-hand side is the Caravka server and the left one is the caravka worker. There's a few errors and that's all my local environment configuration It's not entirely normal, but I haven't bothered fixing it And then this is my sign-up form right so this is simple sign-up form And what I'm gonna do right now is I'm just gonna create my Just add my phone number in and then add my honest be email and then just you know a password and Here's my phone So I'm gonna sign up and ideally I should get a message if all goes well so there should be some logs which basically says that it's done processing and Just about any time now There so I got a message just now which basically says thank you for signing up so What I'm trying to say is that from a development point of view it's easy there are deployment challenges But for now let's just leave that to the DevOps to take care of and let's just focus in developing it. Thank you everyone

Yr hyfforddiad, ar yr hyffordd, nid gweithio ar y cyffrous, Goed head of the games.com has every piece of information that a road or public transport user would need in order to plan in advance. Consider what that information says. It talks about hotspots, it talks about avoiding central London on busy days, up to and including the games days, avoiding the ORN, avoiding round the venues and hotspots on the public transport system. Therefore, all that is available will consider how that might affect your business. Then clarify with your staff, your suppliers, with the people you supply, how that will make a difference, and consolidate that information into working arrangements that will actually work for your business. Communicate it, it is really important. We know lots of businesses have planned already. Now is the time to tell your staff what you are expecting them to do if it is different. ..ículo, on the first day of the games Monday, the 30th of July, we will go about the city as normal. Because they won't. There are a million extra people here. It's the world's biggest sporting event. A bit of planning now will make a difference between misery, congestion and having successful games. Business doing successfully London having a wonderful summer.


And see, God, God's not a God who teases us. When he puts a dream in us, he has every intention on fulfilling that dream. And so God, I thank you for her dream. I thank you, Holy Spirit. Unless I'm gonna say it again, God's gonna cause you to bump into your destiny. God will not give you a dream that he will not bring to pass. Sounds wise, doesn't it? There's a big problem. You don't know if that big dream that you have is from God versus it's just from you. Here's the hard truth. It's often through those broken and shattered dreams that God uses them to reorient our focus off of them onto him. Every single time God's taken something from me that I thought I wanted, he's shown himself to be more wondrous and beautiful than the thing that I once desired. That doesn't mean you need to let go of your dream, but it does mean you need to be more open to what he wants to do with you. Are you willing to say, God, wherever you lead me, I will go?


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here in this video? I just made one I know I just uploaded one, but I had to come back because 3c films dropped a video where he did give me a shout out So I do appreciate you for that big shout out to you as well Love your content. Love when you upload and I appreciate you giving me credit For learning you of the news that you put out regarding that new screen 5 video you did I recently just put one up talking about Gale Weathers and Courtney Cox and there were whole whole thing with that production weekly as link Or leak that has come out With several different things on it that indicate that Courtney Cox will be back to return as Gale Weathers as we know The only official cast member that we know as of yet to be officially on board with this new screen 5 That's coming brought to us by radio silence who did ready or not The only person who's been brought back on officially that's been announced to the public is David Arquette That does not mean that no one else is involved with this project as of yet David Arquette is the only person that's been announced and I feel like they're doing this on purpose because again We're very we're living in a very fluid life We're living a very fluid life right now where everything is always changing due to the outbreak going on Hopefully it's cleared up in the coming months, but it looks like it's just getting worse by the day a lot of the things Of course in my honest opinion or a little bit. We're overreacting with some of the measures We're taking that's just how I feel honestly Everyone can stay safe and take the necessary precautions, but the things that we're damaging in the process of this I don't think it's worth it. It's not worth everything that we're doing but getting into the topic of the video 3c films did bring up a good point in his video He mentioned that the working title for screen 5 according to this production weekly listing is that Alpha I believe it was called like alpha something something with alpha in it. It's like Project or Parkside Alpha Parkside Alpha is the working title for screen 5 And if you type that in on Google if you want to do some digging like he did He did some digging he typed in Parkside Alpha on Google and it comes up with a Vimeo link That will take you to audition tapes for screen 5 That seemed to have been dated all the way back to a couple months ago in March and These videos are yes three months old The one the one videos that he the videos that he pointed out that he found was one for Jocelyn Jocelyn Houdon Parkside Alpha audition video for Jocelyn Houdon. That's an actress and upcoming actors. I believe If you look her up on IMDB, you've seen that she's been in several movies that a lot of you Probably familiar with that have come out in the past couple of years But she has an audition up on Vimeo for Parkside Alpha aka screen 5 She auditioned for the role of Teresa now. This is a character that apparently will be in screen 5 So we're already knowing some some character names now. This is what happens when you do digging We're finding out things that we probably should wait to just be surprised for but the lack of information is killing Killing us and killing other fans So I appreciate 3c for doing digging But yes, if you then if you Google Parkside Alpha the working title of screen 5 on Google It'll take you to a Vimeo link or if you type in Parkside Alpha Vimeo on Google It'll come up with a search result for Jocelyn Houdon Parkside Alpha aka screen 5 audition video for she's auditioning to portray a character named Teresa Who will be appearing in screen 5 we would assume and then also Do some more digging you'll find that a gentleman by the name of Barrett Carnahan. He has an audition up For Parkside Alpha, but his is more like just an introduction a short clip where he's introducing who he is And he had belief he states his height in his weight And it says that he's auditioning for Parkside Alpha and the name Ryan is in the video So we now know that we might have two characters in the movie screen 5 named Teresa and Ryan These were brought to brought to the attention of the public and other horror fans by 3c films again shout out to him His video sparked me to do a little bit more digging I did manage to find something that he did not bring up so we know we have two members So far that could possibly be on board in the cast we have Jocelyn Houdon who could be casted to portray a character named Teresa and we also have Barrett Barrett Carnahan who could be on board to portray the character of someone named Ryan Doing some more digging. I came across another audition video for Parkside Alpha, which again is the working title for screen 5 It's on Vimeo for someone named Iana Haley a young looks like a very young actress named Iana Haley She looks like she's poor and then from what what some of my other supporters on Twitter some of the other people I've engaged with on Twitter They managed to do digging into that video She's playing a character or she was auditioning to portray a character of Annie now That's three characters now that we know not even three I can list six characters now that we know for a fact We are expecting to see in screen 5 based off of these audition tapes and thanks to this leak that came out from production weekly So we can expect to see Neve Campbell return to Sydney Prescott That again is not officially announced the only one who's been officially announced so far as David Arquette But according to this production production weekly Listing Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox will be officially back. They just haven't been announced yet the same way David has We can expect to see in screen 5 now Neve Campbell return as as Sydney Prescott David Arquette back as Dewey Riley Courtney Cox will in fact it appears she'll be back as Gail Weathers Iana Haley who auditioned for screen 5 could appear as a character named Annie Jocelyn Houdon who again auditioned for screen 5 under the working title of Parkside Alpha She could be appearing in the movie as a character named Teresa and then we have Barrett Carnahan who again is a person who auditioned for screen 5 under the working title of Parkside Alpha It would appear he could be appearing in screen 5 as a character named Ryan now that's six different characters that we know and six potential cast members that we now know could be involved with this project Again, 3C is the reason why I did some more digging. So I really appreciate him in that video He put out it looks like these are some people we could be looking to have in the project The reason this is something a lot of people should be very Trust should trust and take this as a hundred percent reliable Vimeo is a website where You can find audition tapes for quite a few projects if you do the right digging and you put in the right search terms And you know some working titles For a lot of movies you'll find some audition tapes on Vimeo I know for a fact anyone who is a fan of my Jeepers Creepers content and the videos I do for Jeepers Creepers If you guys have been digging and digging and digging around the time when Jeepers Creepers 3 was still in active development You'll know that we came across the fact that Jeepers Creepers 3 would be the but would be a prequel before was announced to us Thanks to Vimeo and also thanks to the Shout Factory collector's editions of the first two films Before Jeepers Creepers 3 even entered into production There were already seen that audience members and fans alike already knew to expect because if you went on Vimeo And you typed in Jeepers Creepers 3 you could find audition tapes for certain actors and actresses Trying to audition for a role in the movie Thankfully the ones for screen 5 or password protected so you can't even look at these videos They're actually private unless you know the password to look at them This is of this stuff is legit. It's legit These are potential cast members who could have gotten the role to portray characters named Annie, Teresa and Ryan They could be three people joining our three main stars who are also Confirmed to be returning. They just haven't been officially announced just yet. So it looks like for all intents and purposes We now know at least three brand new characters to expect to see in screen 5 I look forward to seeing what comes out of this I look forward to seeing how this all plays out in the coming weeks because According to the listing from production weekly, it says a status of mid-october now. I know reports came out About Paramount Pictures being the one to distribute this movie in 2021 that's when they're looking to put it out and it did mention something about filming later this summer So if October mid-october is still late summer to these people then whatever But that's the fall time in my opinion if I'm not mistaken. That's that's fall So this listing might be very old and it just hasn't been updated to Account for the fact that they're now planning to shoot later this summer But I just want to make that video and bring that to a lot of people's attention I would find this to be a hundred percent legit Do believe this stuff believe this and if you're a fan of Jeepers Creepers, you know what I'm talking about There are or there were audition tapes of Jeepers Creepers 3 on Vimeo.com the same place where these audition tapes for screen 5 are But since these audition tapes for Jeepers Creepers 3 were not password protected several scenes were already Known by certain individuals such as myself who did some digging We knew certain characters that would be appearing and we knew that this movie will be taking place in between the first and second film Based off of some of the dialogue that these audition tapes featured. So I'm really excited about this Glad we now have some tidbits of information that we're digging for and people like myself and 3C are bringing to the light So really another big shout out to him for shouting me out.

It is the good life. Oh, hello. Didn't quite see you there. Welcome to a very special video today because we're recording it It's a dinosaur love hotel while I sort of bathe myself in the luxuries that only a dinosaur can spit up Why doesn't downstairs James tell you more about this hotel? Oh?  There's only so much bucket water. I've got you Yes so hello and Welcome to the dinosaur Hotel also known as hotel Or arts here I think it's like a kind of chain of these love hotels, but they do different things and this one just so happens to be Dinosaur related how about we take a little look through the the parking area before we actually get into the hotel itself So this is the underground car park where we've got murals of Anyway, we have dinosaurs and then over here. We've got a big t-rex Beautiful just kept me wave me arms in the dinosaur go on come to life Shazam and t-rex. I think it's a t-rex and there with its eyes closed You've also got a to run a time. This place is bogus. It was kind to run it on there Hey, try several tops isn't it? So this place as you can quite clearly see is filled with animatronic dinosaurs We're gonna say a lot more of those as we go on our tour. So how about we go upstairs? Shall we? So here we have blue or beta. I can't really remember. They're quite small So we'll call you beta another one of the animatronic dinosaurs here.  I think it might be this is the t-rex Who also comes to life as you can see his arms are moving is even blinking and I think his jaw and everything else moves We've also got like what sounds like construction But actually it is construction all the way over there, but ignore that that'll disappear eventually. I'm sure do I dare touch this? Onwards up we go Men here the biggest of the animatronics a Prakas stakasaurus 20 million feet tall It's actually ginormous. I don't even know if this one move. No it does It does it makes noises as well. Am I in shot? It's absolutely massive. This thing is crazy big You've got even like search lights to just make sure that you can see it And then we go this way and just in case you missed it another blue and beta complete copy If you've ever seen dominion and I think these ones move I'm tired today. So here we are outside the entrance to our dinosaur hotel Love hotel a little bit of that going on, but it's maybe dinosaurs So outside greeting us of course none of them in the t-rex look kind of like a giga We're pretty sure it's a t-rex So we've been given exclusive access to record one of the presidential suites Which is I think the only one they have it's the most expensive so Looking forward to seeing what's gonna happen in there As well as the rooftop terrace which they have like the entirety of the roof They've redone out to be dinosaurs and stuff Let's not waste any more time and have a look to see what this place has Okay, so in we come and what greets us at the entrance, but I am I know doesn't feel like talking today Have you go across it? No, okay Oh, there it is. Hello You've got a huge t-rex fossil on the wall here as well as the Jurassic Park theme playing throughout the hotel So I'm hoping I don't get claimed too badly by that The Jurassic Park arcade this is this is getting more interesting I don't mean to brag but I braved the very wobbly bridge and made it to the front desk. Oh Okay, that moves I wasn't expecting that then we had to take the elevator Safe to say this is the last thing you want to happen in an elevator This is amazing three of a pair of survivors But hold on there before going to the room. We were allowed to check out the communal areas But of course this meant getting into the elevator of doom again That really makes me Unfortunately, there is no dinosaurs, but you have a lovely darts in Japan. They like to play electronic darts So there's no cheating. It's kind of like a mini pub in a way. In love hotels You're supposed to be you're not supposed to see other people I don't know if you just have this room to yourself or if you book it for a certain amount of time This is the karaoke room Where you have your two microphones Your I guess tablet is this where you select your songs? No amount of dinosaurs in here unfortunately, but you still do get a lovely floor wall I came here for dinosaurs and by jove. I was going to see some You have a full-on treehouse up here. I want to know how they got a massive t-rex I love this is the biggest it's bigger than the one downstairs this t-rex out of a tronic I'm gonna get around this way. Look at that. Oh my god now Oh, I'm feeling when like you see a cut or something. Oh go a bit like that I'm getting this from from seeing this giant t-rex and then also seeing eight stories down. It's a bit. Oh King of the world. I mean I mean I'm King of Jurassic World. Yay To the hidey hole. Hello I then made the most of my time while I was up there They've got a zipline although I don't dare go on it going on an adventure Just like David Attenborough back in the good old days There is a big red button here Should we dare press it? Didn't do anything I feel like I'm running on sunshine This area is for kids, uh, which is interesting. I guess this is where you drop the kids off I assume I mean I assume I'd say maybe a kid might climb up and you're this electric fence But not really, but you've got a climbing frame. You've got a t-rex to watch over them Whitney Whitney Whitney Whitney It has a booper Wait, wait Yeah, you got it and now let's transition to the next shot So before we head to the presidential room, how about we show you one of the executive rooms Hello Nice of you to come in. Come on. Come on. Welcome to dinosaur Atlantis There's a lot of things to take in as soon as you enter this room Of course one of them the main the main one is this I wonder what things they would have to say So we've got a very underwater kind of theme You've got some like little crystaly bubbles there. Of course, you've got the fish and if we come over here What is quite questionable to say it was underwater frigging dilophosaurus? Uh, not exactly sure why we have this guy here, but I'm not going to complain because I get to ride it I need me stirrups hold on Look at me mom Does is it oh it is opening its mouth and stuff. I wouldn't turn down an opportunity to ride a diner I don't know if you would but here we are all the decisions in my life have led to this moment Right here. There's lots of questions Wow, okay, your tail's not moving though. You're a little bit limp and lifeless back there pal Am I of course, I'm happy Whitney. I'm exuberant Oh, I didn't like that word and to complete the aquatic theme that we've got going on You've got a mosasaur along the back wall very evil looking But it does complete the mood but at least they've made it look a bit like a beach and they've got some stones Yeah What they've done is actually a bit of a service because you have all these fish And then you have the bed up there, but there's this wall blocking you kind of from the bed So they guess the fish don't get to see so you do get some privacy Oh, look, I'm glad I checked that because I was a bit worried that it wouldn't be able to take my way because now I'm a Here we go. Why am I always finding weird things to perch on? I'm a little egg eggs Excellent cinema. What do we have? Oh Well, I saw the front If you look at the front it has like Clifford I don't even know what this movie is and then even on the back. Look you've okay Hide that one.  What more could this room have to offer? Welcome to the bathroom of utmost extravaganza. So here you've got a lovely little wash sink like that. Yeah Like a rock not only do you have that if you look here you have your own Private sauna so you can sit in there and get lovely and sweaty. You got volume. Oh, well It's it's very quiet in here. Uh, you can sit down. You've got a little place for your drink things Uh, the volume you can even do the settings out here. Luckily, there's no locker button. So I can't Oh, it's from radio. You could be here and listen to the radio Oh, I can feel the heat coming on now And the heat the heat's coming in. Okay. Well, we'll turn this off. There we go. Ah, there it is That's all we needed to do And if that wasn't enough for you a huge bathtub or a dacuzzi, I think Although I'm not going to fill it up because that would probably take ages But the pièce de résistance of this room You've got a place to poop. No, I think what you're supposed to do There we go. It was not that hard, is it? I think we put our head here It could be wrong So there we have it. That was one of the more executive rooms that you can get here at hotel arts here Uh, this is of course the underwater theme. You've got a hammock. You've got fish You've got a mosasaur on the wall and also a dilophosaurus in case, you know, you want to go for a ride on a dinosaur So with that being said, how about we go check out the most premium expensive and luxurious room that they have to offer here Hey, look, it's a t-rex. You can get your own in the link in the description down below Got there, buddy. Let's go see that room one last trip in this lovely elevator and we'd be there Oh, this one has a t-rex. Bye Boy, so here we are in the presidential Dinosaur suite the highest this hotel has to offer and what do we see? But the almighty t-rex on the wall all the wall pièce de résistance is the The sort of replica of the velociraptor and proto saratops fossil that is based on a real thing Uh, a sort of a battle trapped in time I'm assuming it's not the real one or else that would probably cost millions. Oh, look at this. This. Oh, yes. Look at that And there's really echoey room. You've got a lovely mural of I think some schmike t-rexes Are we gonna empty wall?  Give me a second. We'll be right back Oh, we've also got a go-go button as well, which I'm a bit, uh Concerned about okay. There we go. Oh It didn't move oh this tail goes as well Oh This is a love hotel by the way. I don't know why we have this year But it's here. Do I want to know what things have happened on this set? Probably not Probably you probably don't want to t-rexes and let me down now. Yee-ha welcome to the Dallas hall rodeo My name's James. How you doing? This here is Clarence Oh as long as he's still blinking that means there's life in there somewhere. Ah, yes Oh, thank you Clarence for stopping there and letting me off. Yeah, go back to sleep until I see you next time Fist bump Here we are on the rooftop terrace now. There's supposed to be a hot tub here Um, that's got like overlooks like a a lovely view and it's supposed to have like a dinosaur there So i'm looking forward to going see what that's all about because apparently there's also like a giant t-rex there We can kind of see the tail right all right one more.

So, today we're out here at The Range trying to work on some foreign weapons, getting an opportunity to get some familiarization with the PKM, the AK, with them. Today, you know, we've been out, they've been working with us as we do some of our long range reconnaissance and now they're kind of returning the favor, getting us out here on the range to let us shoot their weapon. So anytime you get the opportunity to go out and meet a different culture and see the way anybody else operates is a beneficial for both parties. We get to learn some of their tactics and bestow some of our skill sets onto them. So it's been a really good experience I think for both sides.


I've spent 15 years working in government and supporting a range of different organisations. This is my very first time that I've given myself permission to work on my own venture, which is my own business making everything achievable, which is an intentional social design company. So, in essence, we work in partnership with anyone who needs support to help make their vision a reality. And one of the key questions that I've had since I started on this journey with EHF is how do we maximise all of this amazing talent in the room to amplify your impact here in Aotearoa, to positively impact our people, and in particular our Māori whānau that don't have access to this type of opportunity, and also help the EHF fellows land with our people here in Aotearoa as well. So, what's the problem? The problem is that we're disconnected to ourselves, people, community and the planet. And as I said before, with all this global talent, how can we use it to benefit Māori and also New Zealand citizens and the rest of the world? A question that I'm posing to myself constantly is, despite the technical skill that I may be privileged enough to share with others, is my work helping to develop kinder, more loving humans? And also, how will we measure and incentivise positive progress? So, my kō kaupapa is I'm a connector. And as an organisation, our purpose is to help connect the dots. We specialise in Indigenous facilitation practice. I'm really grateful to Peggy because she talked to me about how we as a people have got a great skill in holding space, holding space, cultivating space. But how do we utilise that opportunity to build relationship with self, with others, so we're going to develop some tools, training a wraparound support to market this methodology locally and nationally. And that will take place in the first year of my journey here in EHF. Also, in partnership, considering we had a great conversation about the blockchain and putting my hand up to help develop conversations and movements on the development of an Indigenous cryptocurrency. The aim here is for a multiplier effect. So, we're looking at a value that isn't just about the value exchanged between me and you, but the metrics might be, are you kinder as a result? Are you kinder as a result? Are we planting more trees as a result? Is bird life starting to come back? Is life on the planet starting to increase? So, how do we create a balance sheet that will incorporate that? And how can we also increase capital flows amongst Indigenous people and also each other? One of the other solutions is Kainga Ora, an urban eco-intelligent communal housing project in Wellington where individuals can live, learn, play and be. And then finally, in my third year here, the aim is to develop an Indigenous platform called MEA Capital to enable investors to increase their contribution and impact on the world through supporting Indigenous and worthwhile projects that are making a real difference on people and the planet. So, I spoke earlier about real-time value will be logged on the blockchain so that investors can get multiple levels of return through various metric points that are both tangible and intangible. For example, will our investment help to increase trees or increase life as well as the life force of the planet? So, how will we start to measure those things? So, our ask is I'm seeking an interest-free loan of a million dollars that we can leverage with central government funding to help build our housing project and it will be a place that the EHF fellows can live and use. We also want support with the development of our Indigicoin whitepaper. We'd like to connect to those who wish to combine our collective superpowers to help make this work a reality. And finally, I'm seeking investors that are very interested in supporting Indigenous and Kaupapa Māori enterprises. Kia ora tatu. Thank you.

What's up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. If you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and when talking about different subjects going on in the YouTube community, what I'm trying to do is see what we can learn from them, all right, to improve our own mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that kind of combination of things going on on YouTube as well as self-improvement, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. Most of you can see I'm out of town, so make sure that you follow me over on Instagram and Twitter for updates and I've been writing blogs and everything like that, mental health blogs, so make sure you follow me. So yeah, the internet has been rejoicing, all right, because Onision finally got banned from Patreon, all right. So I'm going to be discussing this and just a few disclaimers real quick. So with what I'm going to be talking about, first off, I debated on making this video. I just did a little Twitter thread about this and I was debating on making this because I promised you guys a few weeks ago like I am making sure I'm not going to put out content unless I think it can benefit you, unless I think that you can give value. I don't want to just do commentary and share my opinions. Everybody has their opinions on things, right? But I decided to make this video because I want to discuss the bigger topic of being emotional and very narrow-minded on a situation and we forget the broader effects on what happens, right? Especially when we're emotional. When we're emotional, we are not using that thinking part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex. And the other thing that I want to talk about, when it comes to this Onision situation, like I will say like honestly, I don't know. I do not know what the solution is when it comes to his children. I'm a father myself. I have worked in addiction treatment with a lot of people who were at one point unfit to be parents, like myself. I was unfit to be a parent in my drug addiction and everything like that. But working with people, I do think about the effects on children.  I ended up becoming an addict, but you know, I'm doing pretty well now.  But anyways, like I said, I do not know the right answer for this situation. All right, so what I want to talk about first is I've been reading a book recently called The Knowledge Illusion. Great, great, great book. Like it talks about how even the smartest people, how they make the dumbest decisions, you know? And like, if like scientists and you know, just the geniuses of the world can make dumb decisions, like I thought I would read that book and have it take me down a few notches, you know? I recommend it a lot, but there's, you know, The Knowledge Illusion. A lot of it talks about, you know, we think we know stuff. We think we do and we don't always know stuff. But anyways, another great book is Mental Models by Shane Parrish. And that's where he talks a lot about second-level thinking or second-order thinking, something along those lines. When you do something, what's going to happen after that, right? Like so many of us, when we're talking about that narrow-focused mind and the decisions we make, we think about, okay, I'm going to do this to get this result, right? And we don't think about what happens after it. We're like, we'll worry about that later, right? Like maybe we'll eat a tub of ice cream. We want that now, but the result is stuff like this. A man a little bit chunky, right? So let me explain to you real quick why I am more pro-choice. Well, not more pro-choice. I am pro-choice, right? Like, I don't believe in like, you know, nine-month, you know, abortions or anything like that. But here's one of my issues with the pro-life side of the debate is a lot of people don't have that second-order thinking, right? So many people, not all people, but many people who are on the pro-life side of things, they also don't, they're not really fans of government assistance and programs that help kids, right? So many people who make the decision not to bring a life into this world, it's probably the best decision they can make.  They know if they have that child, there will be issues. The kid won't get the life that they deserve. And we have to realize too, when you have a messed up childhood, you become a messed up adult, right? That can lead to mental illness. It can lead to, you know, more poverty. It can lead to, you know, crime, all sorts of stuff. Like when we're kids, we can get messed up. So one of my biggest issues with the pro-life side of the debate is like, okay, you guys want all these kids to be born, but you don't want to assist these kids once they're outside of the womb, right? So when I look at the pro-life side of things, I don't really see that second-order thinking. I don't, they're not really looking at the bigger picture of how are we going to support these children and ensure that they live a good life if we just banned abortions, right?  Everybody was, you know, they want to get them off the platform.   Like, has what he's done been terrible? Absolutely. All right, but here's the thing. Everybody knows that he has children. Everybody knows that. Like, that is common knowledge. And, you know, with all of the efforts that have gone into taking him off of, you know, social media and everything like that, the children have been an afterthought in my opinion. So, like I said, it's something that, like, I'm working on myself. Like, I'm always trying to have that second-order thinking. Like, if we do this, what happens after that? Like, as much as we all hate Onision and want him off the platform, the reality is, is that the platform that is platform that is giving him money is also supporting those children. All right. And aside from that, when we think about, when we think about, you know, him getting in trouble, like apparently the FBI might be looking into him and stuff like that, what's going to happen to the children? All right, let's say him and Kai both get in trouble. Like, is anybody going to take those kids in who's been part of getting Onision on the platform? Because, again, like, when I look at the pro-life side of the debate, it's like, what happens to those kids, right?  But I've known many people who grew up in the foster system and they had terrible experiences, awful experiences, right? Lack of funding, some parents who just hoard children to get the benefits from the government and things like that. And it becomes this whole thing. And like I said, I don't know. I don't know what the solution is, like, are these kids better off with that guy or not, you know?  We think, you know, why didn't you go to the police? Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do that? And a few years ago, one of my friends, one of my good friends, she was sexually assaulted. And obviously, you know, my first thought is like, you got to turn this guy in. Like, you got to turn this guy in and get him off the streets, right? But it gave this whole situation, gave me an understanding as to why some people don't go to the authorities. Because the man who assaulted her, this monster was also a father. He was also a father raising his kids. And she explained that to me and she explained that's why she wasn't going to the police because it would affect those kids, right? She was using that second-order thinking.  But I have a better understanding of why some people don't. You know what I mean? And I hope that helps some of you out there, especially us men, out there understand why some people don't turn somebody else in because maybe they're worried about how it'll affect the family, how they'll do this, right? Like, something I was taught in 12-step programs with the ninth step is we make amends, you know, wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. So basically what that means is like, let's say I was having an affair with some, you know, married woman, right? And I was part of my ninth step. I was like, you know what? I need to make an amends to her husband. And they have kids and everything. And I go over there and I make amends to this husband. And then he finds out about this affair she was having and then they get divorced. The kids are affected. So except when to do so would injure them or others. So like I said, I don't know if there's a right or wrong, you know, I don't know what's right and what's wrong. You know, I think it's just a conversation I wanted to have with all of you guys. Like when we're caught up in these emotions, we need to think of the bigger picture, right? Like I used, I used the pro life versus pro choice debate as an example. It's just something that we need to think about. Like what is the ripple effect? Who else will be affected by the things that we're trying to get done, the things that we're trying to accomplish, you know, whatever we want to do, you know? And so hopefully, if nothing else, I hope you leave this video with just looking at different situations, the different things that you want, especially when it comes to punishment and things like that, that we all try to look at the bigger picture. You know what I mean? Because these kids have been part of this equation the entire time. And one of the things that bothers me is when those children have been like an afterthought. You know what I mean? And you know, if I'm just being honest, part of it, part of that is very personal to me too with stuff that happened to me earlier this year.  You know what I mean? You know, he's resilient as hell and we made it through it and I'm financially stable now and, you know, and all that, but just something we need to think about. All right? But anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. Not sure what my schedule is going to be like the next couple of days because of the holidays. So if I don't talk to you, I have an amazing Thanksgiving. All right? I'll talk to you all soon.


Hey there friends, how's it going? My name is Kevin and I am 45 days overdue for a haircut. Today we're gonna be playing The Sims Online. It went so well last time I just had to play it again. Yes, shake that money maker, Jim! Come on! Make me some YouTube money! But today we're gonna make a new account. We're gonna be turg. The reason being is because I think the place is such a small community. People are gonna realize it's me if I keep on the Jim Pickens account. Unfortunately, I don't think these presets are gonna have a turg, unfortunately. Honestly, that's probably the closest thing. But I think I'm gonna go with this one, I guess. Oh, okay. There's eleven pages. I thought it went one through nine and then all the way up to one thousand and eleven. I was like, this is gonna take a while. Uh, favorite music? Grunting. I hope no one can see this in-game. Favorite movie? Uh, two turg, two furious? How did I try and spell furious and it came out frutitious? Oh, no. Oh, god, Jesus. What is going on? Why can I not spell?   Turn-ons, turg-ing and boning.  Turn-offs, winning races. Quote can be turg. Not quite as inspirational as my last one. Success doesn't just find you because you aren't worth finding. And a little hat. I like it. Inspirational yet grounding. The name here sim is already in use.  What if I put an exclamation? I can't- what? I can't do anything. Why- why are you stealing my name? All right. I can have two hours, I guess. That works. Hi, turg-welcome, turg. You gotta be an interesting conversation. Oh, I just realized his clothes are like Frankenstein's monster, even his arms. I can hear him hammering something. He's probably putting up defenses since he saw me arrive. But they're all doing a bit of woodwork. God, I love wood in the morning. Look at it in his morning, okay? And I love woodwork. Get your mind out of the gutter.  The pier is seeing everything. Turg. Turg. No one is making conversation. I mean, granted, I'm not making it easy on them. But still, please, give me attention. All right, fine. You know what? I'm leaving. Wait, drug deals.  Okay, no one's there. Let's pretend we never saw that. Oh, a room for urns. How interesting. Yeah, okay, yeah. Just start crying. He just realized the death is a thing. Wellock me. Wellock me. Wellock you. Turg-hungy. No, not turg-hungy. Turg-hungy. Turg-hungy. No, not hungy either. Just applauding this person for no reason. All right, I've embarrassed myself enough. I should leave. No one's talking anyway. I'm gonna go find people. Club Rob, that sounds like just a place for me and there's 23 people. This is the weirdest chess tournament I've ever seen and I'm about to make it a lot weirder. Turg-to-E7. Turg-me. I took her seat. Turg-to-G3. Turg-to-F2. Turg-to-H6. Turg-to-E1. Turg-to-E8. Turg-to-J9. Turg-to-D4. Turg, what are you saying? I am saying my moves. Turg-to-F3. You don't have to do that. Turg-to-D2. It clocks the chat. I don't have to not do it.  He thinks I actually don't know. Turg-to-Troll. Turg-to-Troll. Turg-to-FU. Turg is not very polite today. Turg woke up on the wrong side of the cave. Okay, good luck. He banned me. I just said Turg-to-Home as well and then I got banned. Wait, I can't go in here. They've pre-banned me.  I do have a YouTube account after all. Oh, a block party. Perfect. Fresh food backslash. Oh, yes. Jafak Yaro construe her unhotel. T-U-R-T hung. I just gave up and accepted that he's hung. Turg coming for food. Turg, no. Hey, that was just made. Oh, sorry. I meant to eat. Turg hung me. Okay. They went offence around me. I didn't even know that was possible. Oh, Jesus Christ. Last thing we need is another imitator. Oh, I can't, I can't ban. He told me to go elsewhere. To be fair, that was well deserved and he completely outplayed me. I'm willing to admit, his fence strategy was exquisite and I got outplayed. Just like in chess. How do you Turg on this map? Welcome it is hat day here. Where a hat you could win a cash prize. Can I have a hat? I am poor and hung. Oh, I'm gonna get banned way too fast. I gotta stop. I gotta slow down. Very hungy. Very hungy. How can I say it right? Very hungy. No, not very hungy. Very hungy. Not hungy. How do I say it? He's crying. Why is he crying? Oh, I'm still amazed by that fence outplay. They just beat me. I just got to accept that they're better at this game than me. How can I start fires? Just so I can avoid doing it by accident. I don't think anyone's that naive, unfortunately. I'm assuming it's low cooking, but only roomies and owner can cook. So you will be okay. Oh, they're so nice. But they're feeding me off the floor. Oh, wait, wait. I might be able to grab this.  I just found out that I'm not supposed to be cooking and I just grabbed it and immediately started cooking. And he's like staring at the microwave just asking for an accident. I'm gonna be kicked out.   Food is served grinning. Oh, for fuck's sake. All I did was cook some food. I'll be it a bit suspiciously. Like you could question my motives, but still, I'm gonna go to hospital. I think it's long overdue.  Sorry to hear that. Oh, they're so nice. How can I help you guys? Kid. Meek. What does that mean? Food is ready. Wait, where is he taking it? Oh, he's serving it. Okay. Doctor, there's white mold on my needs. I think this one's gone insane. You know what? I'm gonna enjoy here. Me too. Why you got kicked, Turk? Uh, why did I get kicked? Oh, uh, too handsome. Believable if you ask me. I mean look at him. They sure are petty. Yep. Shame they aren't pretty. God, Turk is quick with words. He knows all the words like this one. Turk. Yep. Wait, I'm getting a phone call or something. You want to ban for a property? If you're gonna troll in this game, we would rather you at least had the way to do something original. Do you guys need medical help? Yes, please. Let me put my doctor clothes on. Okay, they're gonna heal me. Good. You can go lay in bed. Okay, I'm just gonna go to sleep, I guess then. I think the medical issue is I have a weak bladder because I really need to pee. And I think I already know the solution is go pee. But you know what? I'm not gonna do that. So I'll leave the doctor to decide. I'll just hop in bed. A wet bed is a comfy bed. The way he sleeps, the noises are great. Okay, what's the problem? I am turging. Possibly have amnosia. And my bladder is weak. It's a long list of problems. You'd be better off asking me what's okay with me rather than what's wrong with me. Go use the toilet. You are a genius doc. Med school is worth it after all. I like how they agree with that. You have to treat the symptoms first. Okay, good idea. What about my turging problem? Try saying it backwards. I have a nigret problem. I don't think that was the solution. Oh god, he's messaging me again. The amount of people who come here doing that daily, you would not even begin to know. But I did it first. If you want to believe that then fair enough. Can I come back please? This is like an overarching story of the video. We keep coming back to it. Oh wait, they want to hug me, okay. Well gosh doc, I don't know if this is appropriate. They're just hugging me in the bathroom. I mean, it doesn't seem right.  Do you need more food? Yes please. This is like the nicest person I've ever encountered. Like in general, not only just on games.  I saw cockroaches here a second ago. Oh my god, what did they do to the toilet? I mean, I was on there a while but still. Hi Roscoe, welcome home. Thanks. Be kicked out, what that? I just arrived, they didn't do anything. No, I'll decline that please. I'd rather not get kicked out. You cannot come here. Why not?  What? I didn't do anything though. You was going to bin the food, please. It just sounds so pathetic when they say please. I must have already been here and repressed it. I kind of remember it though. Oh wait, this was the place I was cooking. I will make a buff. I am already buff. Turk's strong. Yeah, that'll show, that'll intimidate them. They will kick us out now. Any funny stuff you out? Damn, funny people are always target. It's not that, it is that. Oh, my game crashed. Okay, I thought they were kicking me out. I think she was trying to kick me out anyway, but at least the crash saved me the humiliation, I guess. Now I'm doing the opposite. Instead of throwing food away, I'm taking all of the food, putting it on the floor and throwing nothing away. Stop throwing food away. You are not original. Why are you getting loads of plates from the buffet and dropping thug? Well, that's that adventure over. I'm running away with the food this time. I'm not throwing it away because it's getting me in trouble. I'm just leaving it by the pool so we can have a nice pool party that night in the rain. He took it all the way outside, and then when I told him to eat some, he brought it all the way back in to eat it. Oh God, no, he threw the food away by himself. Okay, I'm out of here. All right, go back into Ed's block party. All right, now that I'm here, I go straight for the food, do not throw it away. Simply eat. I'm not hungry actually. Just leave the food there. I'll save it for later. Could you all please stop whistling, trolls?  I don't know what he's doing. He's just like touching their clothes. I'm starting a gnome everywhere. Turk, my man, you already started a gnome. No, he's caught me immediately. They're watching me. He's starting them all. I know. Why are they all watching what I'm doing? Sorry, I'm starting all the gnome. I can eat it. Oh God, he's getting dicey. I'm surprised they're not banned. I'm going to interrupt someone else who's making a gnome so I can make a gnome. I'm just being nice here. I'm taking out the wood blocks for everyone. So everyone has a fresh start. Look at that. They don't even appreciate it.  What? I'm not a joke. It really depends on what you want out of- What? I didn't even say anything. I got over booing him. That's some BS Turk. Needs of stups is for your LOL gnomes. I'm just booing him as he's like playing video games. Now I know how it feels to be on the other side when people watch me on Twitch. LOL for getting to go again with the one day old PPL. Oh my God, people are going nuts. 1v1 me. Will you all play me winning? I won. He left the property.  Something exploded. I assume it was Turk.  An Anvil fell on him. They killed Turk.  Well, I guess that's forcibly the end. Turk gone. Turk dead. But that was an experience. I enjoyed that a lot. I hope you did too. Oh, that's creaky. But yeah, I really hope you enjoyed the video, folks. I really enjoy making them, so I appreciate you watching. It means a lot to me. And yeah, I guess that's about it. I'll just thank you very much for watching and I'll say I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.
