Hello everyone. Hi Emory. Hi Eevee, G, M, Z, and Pence of Ruin. How you doing? I'm just posting the notice Couple places really quick and then we'll get started. Hey, I Ionic blood. I missed your comment. I'm sorry Hey everyone, bear with me just for a moment. All right. How's everybody doing tonight? We're on Good evening, Brian and JK Everybody hear me, okay? volume good the volume in on these live streams seems to be a Little lower than I'd like maybe I can adjust that at some point and Marie melting. That's no good We actually just had a storm here. Okay Alright Green Yeti. Hey, good to see you again Yeah, we had a storm here. It's still pretty wet outside There was some cloud to ground lightning and it was I think it might have been a little loud for our live stream Although, I think it's mostly past now. It's probably safe, but I thought Shooting indoors would be better this time. All right Okay, now I just need to Okay, cool Bernie in California. Yeah Oh Well, I I finished the Pepsi. I'm sorry. I finished the Pepsi before we started and I'm all out All systems go. All right We're in Glenpool If you're in Glenpool, it would have come from there and kind of raked across downtown Tulsa and then broken arrow where I am So, yeah, that was the same system All right, well at least somebody's drinking Pepsi. So we're all good. We're good to go. Okay. Well I'll give everybody a few minutes to to come aboard and Just out the spur of the moment. I wanted to have a topic I've tried to have something specific to talk about in each of these live streams And I was having a hard time thinking of something this time a good ATU as well hymns of battle With little Omega sign. That's cool Coca-Cola much. Well, I've always you know, ever since I was a kid. We were always a Pepsi family. Coke is fine, too I do actually have I like coke with alcoholic beverages, but I'm not gonna do that right now because I want to be able to make it through this live stream So I hey Joe motion videos. So I guess is like Drinking a soda now a tradition for this show and I'm the one who's breaking the tradition because I don't have one Isaac you're late. That'll be five demerits and please sit in the corner Okay, so anyway, I thought I would have something to talk about specifically and I was having a hard time thinking of what to talk about so I wanted to On the spur of the moment, I decided to talk about 90s GI Joe and I wanted to talk about I Wanted to see I went through all of my Sorted figures For each year and I picked out one from each year 90 91 92 93 94 I think I got one of each That figures that I like from those years and that I haven't reviewed yet Make sure I haven't actually reviewed these yet. Yeah, okay. We're good. So I was able to find at least one figure from each year that That I liked so What I'll do once we get a few more folks in is I'll just go through these and I'll show you some of 90s GI Joe That that I did enjoy 90s lost focus. Yes, I agree the 90s was just kind of The 90s GI Joe didn't know quite what it wanted to be so it tried to be a little bit of everything and You can't really You can't be good at everything. You got to you got to know where your strengths are so So So I'll have that for you. I have figures that I've just pulled out of my bins One from let me get them sorted here 90 91 92 93 and 94 okay, so I'm gonna set those all out So I can pull those out and show you guys here in a minute Headhunters Yeah, like the yeah like that headhunters led by head man for DEF The the headhunters Figures like the the minion the troopers were really cool Really amazingly cool. I mean almost too cool for DEF maybe In another context They would be just awesome and I love having those figures Road pig yeah, he was he was all right Isaac yeah, I've seen that Black Cobra stiletto for Batman It's it's interesting looking. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one just because a black stiletto would be pretty cool I guess by that point Hasbro had bought Had bought canner and so they were able to kind of cross pollinate like that Is do I feel like there's a divide between the OG collectors and the modern Joe collectors some yeah There doesn't have to be and there are a lot of old-school collectors that collect modern GI Joe and What I tell everyone and I stick by it is I don't tell anyone how to collect there's no There's no right way to collect you collect because it's something that you want It's because you enjoy, you know assembling these things Into your collection whatever that collection may be so nobody can really tell you that you're doing it wrong There does seem to be I think some unnecessary tension between modern and vintage Joe collectors But if you live by the motto that you don't You don't really have any business telling somebody else how they ought to collect then there shouldn't be no problem so Yeah, oh by OG I assume that you're meaning like the three and three-quarter inch You know 80s and 90s GI Joe versus you know the modern era Like the 25th anniversary and beyond with the modern Modern articulation and sculpting I see I assume that's what you mean 90s Joe's hit-and-miss best ones from a 90 91 92 was yeah I Agree that that it was hit-and-miss. I mean you can point to some really weird and Substandard figures, you know in even going through the 80s So I mean not every figure was perfect in any era but But in in the 90s in my opinion again just my opinion there was more Miss than hit So yeah But even even though there was I think more weirdness in the 90s I was still able to find at least one figure that I have and that I haven't reviewed yet That that I really like in that era Deep six like deep six version two is a really good figure and it's considering that Deep six version one was kind of abysmal It's a vast improvement on on the original oh pence of ruin Gives me a highlighted chat says a CC love the channel. Thank you for that and thank you for the modern Rock-and-roll figure That'll be something that does get featured in the future Yeah, the super chat I only learned recently learned about the super chat I'm not I'm new to this live streaming thing. So thank you for that. I appreciate that So yeah, the super super chat is kind of a new fangled thing for me But if you send me a super chat, I will I'll make sure that I answer it Yeah, grunts from the 90s Bullhorn yeah Who again as we should probably get started on this because I didn't want to go through these and I wanted to show you one vehicle from the 90s That I will do an assembly on It's one that I picked up at Joe con It's Alright, I'm sorry. Sometimes you guys type too fast and I can't keep up. Alright Anyway, I got this at Joe con the razor blade, which I believe is from 94 94 right 1994 So this is a 90s vehicle. I can't pass judgment on it yet because I haven't assembled it yet Hi, Rick. How you doing? But this is it is still the box is open it wasn't sealed when I got it I got the open box, but the contents on the inside are Still sealed Some factory sealed bags there with all the parts got all the Literature in there Instructions and all that so This will be something that I make sure I carefully put it back in the box that I will eventually do a an assembly video on Which may give some vintage, you know meant and sealed Box collectors heart attack, but it's something that I've been enjoying and I didn't want to point out something I tried to point it out in the video, but when On my assembly of the sea ray I wanted to make sure that everybody understood. I was not disappointed in any way whatsoever I very much enjoyed that assembly and I very much happy that I'm very happy that I Got it, and I'm very happy with mr. Mike Lopez who sent it to me. So Absolutely, no complaining on my part So that was that was cool, and this will be one that I get to eventually. I'm not sure exactly when But I will get to it An annual 90s month. I've thought about it. I have thought about it And we're gonna get close to that probably In the coming months because I've spent so much time in the 80s That I've got to get back to the 90s So I've got to cover a lot of 90s in the next few months So I don't know if it'll amount to a theme month, but it's gonna be lots of 90s Colonial news network. Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying the show and thanks for the thumbs up on the video Juan a la verga. Hello. Hi. How you doing? Razor blade, I think it might be I mean it looks cool from the back and It's got some interesting features Yeah, slide along string to knock down enemies or rescue Gijos, so it's got like that thing where it has like a zipline kind of thing So it could be interesting. I'll take a look at it The 1992 age 74 desert Apache the desert Apache I have seen and it looks really cool I don't have one yet But I look forward to getting my hands on one It looks really neat and and that's an often overlooked Vehicle a lot of Joe collectors forget about that one. I think because it did come out in the 90s So that's what I'm looking forward to checking out Why are you seeing the images in mirror vision, oh, I don't know I think is this thing mirroring I think it might my apologies is probably my phone and It's it's like flipping the the image around So That's weird and I'm not sure how to fix that. I will see if I can figure that out later So but thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know that it was doing that on your end But now I do so Everybody sees this as a mirror image It's the writing backwards. Is that right? I'll figure it out There's something probably in the settings that I can do to fix that, but I don't see it right now. So I will work on it Okay, thanks, David. All right. Thanks Kevin. I'll figure it out. I'll fix that at least I'll try to fix it for the next one Okay, yes knowing is half the battle the other half is finding the setting to fix that issue All right, but hey, let's talk about these. I have an array of figures from the 1990s To show you okay, I don't know why I got that one out, but okay, here we go Let's start with 1990 Dem guts you are late. So you have to sit in the corner for five minutes. Sorry. That's the rules Say your name again. I read your name as Juan a la verga. Did I get close? Okay I'm going to rant about eco warriors soon. Well, hey There is an eco warriors option in the latest patron patreon poll. So if that one wins, I'll talk about it I'll talk about it. Although I really don't mind the figure itself all that much Eco warriors, especially if you get look at how eco warriors Excuse me was represented in the media It's pretty rough The storyline in the comic book series that covered eco warriors That is pretty rough fun fact age 74 Originally was not originally designed for the GI Joe toy line actually designed for Hasbro Sonic Fighters series I I don't know if I knew that but thank you for pointing that out I don't know all I know about that toy. I really haven't looked into it that much because I don't have it yet I'm a fan of the ghost striker x16. Yes Another one that I don't have but I've seen it and it's a pretty sweet jet So hey, see there are there are things from the 90s that are good not just okay, but actually really good Do I have the cobra piranha Or Joe Barracuda, I do have the Barracuda. I don't have the piranha Okay, all right now, and I don't want to ignore you guys. I don't want to ignore your comments, but and but I'm going to Start with the a Figure from the 90s looks like we might have a troll in here, but I can fix that. Hello Hold on and I can fix no problem All right Sorry to derail the conversation there Okay, except my Laptop is having a heck of a time keeping up. Okay Now number one From 1990 some of you probably already guessed it bullhorn This is cool Yeah, intervention specialist, but this this guy is dressed like a soldier. I mean look at that camouflage Look at those colors. I mean this in any era. This is cool The details are nice the accessories are nice. I have written on here that I guess I'm missing his rifle but he's got that backpack and the Sorry, he's got the the backpack if I can remember how to get it open like There we go the backpack. Oh, I guess. Yeah. Oops. It has it has the rifle bits in it Which is awesome, I mean that is just so awesome so Bullhorn scores well on all fronts I mean it has the figure the design the sculpt the color the accessories Just really awesome. So that choosing a figure that I liked from 1990 Was easy bullhorn. I know it is a lot of your favorites too. So so really cool 1991 actually wasn't all that hard to find one that I like in 1991 In 1991 We have let me take it. Well, no, it's all right. I'll leave it on heavy-duty now heavy-duty's accessories are Are a little on the absurd side But but I really actually really like the figure the details on the figure are really nice and I made the the gun of his crotch gun is is a bit over the top but That camouflage pattern that he has on here. I gotta I try to Pull this off and see if I can remove the backpack without breaking it Because I'd like to show you guys the figure Although I'm sure a lot of you know a lot about heavy-duty, and I'm not showing you anything new but It's a really nice camouflage pattern on it Some nice detail like the ripped sleeves. I like the the sculpt of the the head and the The hat and overall colors are pretty good. So Yeah Yeah The the huge cannon whoops the huge cannon at crotch level is is A little silly, but but the figure itself is quite nice. So 1991 is pretty easy to find one that I like not bad not bad pretty good 1992 Let's move on to 1992 I have it was actually pretty easy to find one here that I like to The first version of bulletproof Is just a nice military-looking figure. I wish I could review it But that's that microphone that goes on his helmet. I had it. I had it I know I have it or had it, but it must have fallen off dropped on the floor Something happened to it. It's gone. I don't I don't have it anymore, but the figure itself. I think it's pretty good It's a basic, you know kind of digital camouflage Military fatigues and that's all it needs to be you know, it doesn't do anything crazy or outrageous It just is what it is and it's just a really cool military figure. So Yeah, I'm getting a little backlit now since the storm has passed now the sun's out again but bulletproof Version one from 1992 really like this figure and if you're a fan of 80s GI Joe this probably would appeal to you as well because it does have that kind of really grounded military look to it Really great great. So not actually not that hard to find one that I liked in 1992 as well Let's keep it moving let's keep it moving All right, let me make sure I've got the All right, let me make sure I've got that. Okay. Yeah, okay All right 1993 was actually a little bit harder. It was a little bit harder in 1993 to find one that I thought was Really super awesome. Now. There are some good figures in 19 in 1993 Thank you. Thanks. It's my shirt There are some good 93 figures, but I don't necessarily have all of them 93 was a huge year. There are so many figures that year and I don't have all of them but using the criteria of like figures that I Have and have not reviewed yet This was the one that jumped out of me that I thought was Was really good. It's duke version 4 from 1993 And not a bad version of duke pretty much just a straight camouflage for a desert camouflage version of duke And I think it's fine It was a little bit tougher though because There are a couple problems. I do have with the figure that helmet being non It's like well that focus that helmet being non removable Makes his head look a little funny I also like feel like you should have a belt sculpted on And the lack of belt is a little bit. Um, I don't know. It seems like there's something missing So not a bad version of duke Not a bad figure in general Uh, and you know, I I I like my realistic military fatigues and giving us a pretty much a straight desert camouflage figure Um, I'm gonna I'll pretty much enjoy that every time You know, they had a little bit of trouble giving us like straight desert camouflage They had some desert thing figures, but their desert camouflage sometimes was a little uh lacking uh little, uh Uh, we it leaves a bit to be desired. Uh jenna. Hi, how are you doing? I do have a few words for everyone. Um Just in general about the channel once i'm done with this little um project here this little presentation For those who've just joined us. Um, I uh Wanted to show you a figure from each year Uh in the 90s that I liked Um it had with the criteria that it's a figure that I have that I have not reviewed yet Uh, hi chris. How is that? I was going um Bad news well not bad news for the channel.  It's not too bad But I did want to make sure that uh, I talk with you guys and let you know how things are going. Um, so for those who Uh, who just arrived and haven't been here for the duration Um the figures that I've shown so far For 1990 it was bullhorn For 1991 it was heavy duty for 1992 it was bulletproof and from 1993 it was duke and Lastly from 1994 and I was actually really hard to find one. I don't have Uh, nearly as many 94 figures as I do other years. I've got quite a few holes in that year Um, so it was a little bit tough to find one that I liked But there was one that stood out And it was a gift from someone Uh, this is the 1994 Um gi joe mail away figure Uh, this is uh, basically joe colton The original gi joe or a three and three quarter inch representation of The original gi joe. This is still sealed in the factory bag But it's got it's a straight military uniform And not a bad one either and it does kind of harken back to those early days of gi joe And I mean actually really early as in the 1960s when this gi joe looked like a larger version of this That's what gi joe was. Um, that's what got it started and that's why it was popular to begin with So that is my 1994 figure which rounds out our Look at one figure for each year of the 90s that I like and that I haven't reviewed yet. I did see a few Um in the bins that um, I like but I had already reviewed them So I decided to make it a little more of a challenge and only pick ones that I have not reviewed yet um I was uh, uh, the joe colton the gun is taller than he has. Yeah, I Yeah, that's something that I've noticed that that giant machine gun is a bit out of scale Uh, it's I think it's supposed to be an m 60 And there have been uh better, you know m 60s or at least m 60 analogs in the gi joe line Do I have 12 inches? Well, I have a couple 12 inch figures. Um, a couple action soldiers from the, uh Between 1964 and 1967 In their original uniforms and with their original equipment I uh, here's our tan cobra Um, I like the the, uh 12 inch joes from the 60s. I don't have any in front from the 70s, but I might like those too. Um, I really When I am able to hold uh, a 1960s 12 inch gi joe figure in my hands It really I really feel connected to my roots. I feel like, you know, I'm touching a piece of history and they're just really Uh, really Cool to have. Um, and if you've never Seen one before never, you know Touched one before, you know, see if you can get your hands on one. You'll notice that, you know, they're really remarkably high quality toys. Um, you know They've been around for a long time. Uh, they were played with pretty roughly a lot of them took quite a beating but They were designed to hold together pretty well um Grandmother consumed a 1969 12 inch. She turned it into a combat medic from Oh, uh, custom. I thought that's okay. Uh, custom to 1967 12 inch turned it into a combat medic for my uncle See, that's nice. That's nice. And for, um, uh, service members, um, or families of service service members You really could, you know, get a gi joe that, um, looked like Your family member as a kid, you know, if you dad served in the armed forces, you could get a gi joe that probably looked a lot like dad Uh, with, you know, very authentic looking uniforms from every branch of service and lots of specialties. Um, Uh, it was for that era. It was really cool. Um, didn't last but, um Uh, you like colobulus, uh, he was cool. Well, okay. I'm glad that you like, uh, colobulus and, uh, I'm Always happy when someone finds something that they enjoy. Uh, never want to take that away from you In fact, if I didn't need a colobulus figure for my collection so that, you know, I can Make sure that I have it for reference. I would be glad to give you mine A 12 inch colobulus Hmm, you know with that tail. He's close to 12 inches already um Modern gi joe anniversary line. You mean like the like the 12 inch Uh, nemesis, nemesis enforcer. Um, yeah, I like the name nemesis enforcer. It's a cool name um Because you were fond of the navy joe's because your dad and uncle were in the navy. Well, I think that's um I think a lot of people have that connection Uh, that that was an appeal of, uh, gi joe for a lot of kids um, and especially when When the 1960s gi joe hit and when the 1982 gi joe hit it was, um In an era when a lot of kids had family members that were, you know Service members or had recently come back from service So, uh, there was Um, there was an appeal to that Um ace because he's air force like your dad. Yeah. Yeah. See that's That's a great personal connection and to me those personal connections mean, uh, I think more than Um necessarily the the merits of the figure itself and you know, we on this channel, I do talk about the merits of Each figure. Uh, I talk about what I think is good and bad about it But, uh, the personal connections that we have with them, uh, kind of Outweigh all of that And also I don't want anybody to think that if I'm criticizing a figure and if I don't think it's very good That that means I don't think you should like it. Um Especially because people have those personal connections to these toys It's something that I always try to keep in mind that, um, all of these toys no matter how weird they were Each of them was probably some kid's favorite toys for some kid. It may have been their only gi joe toy Uh, they didn't have tons of figures vehicles and stuff like that, but they had that special connection with that one toy Uh, that that kid just loved that ice cream soldier so much Um So, you know, you know, keep that in mind. I I have no problem criticizing plastic But I don't I'm not gonna make fun of people for liking something that I don't Um With you being a 13 year old today, um 13 and collecting gi joe and prowl Thank you for your service. Um, I am glad that you are. Um, I wish that more Kids your age would I wish more kids younger than you would. Um, I hope that um, eventually Uh That will get that spark back and you know gi joe will have the cool factor again Um, and kids will You know want to get into it again Uh loved all the winter figures Um living in florida miss temperatures Uh below 95 000. All right. I can I I get that I I get that. I understand that Um, uh grandpa was world war two navy e9, uh senior master chief. Uh, you have all of his medals. That's awesome. That's awesome My grandpa was in the uh Was in the army in world war two From what he's told us. I guess he was a communication specialist In the european theater As for his medals and memorabilia, there isn't a lot. He didn't keep most of it When he came home from the war he for Most of the rest of his life. I mean he's still alive but um He didn't talk about it. Uh, he wouldn't talk about it. Uh, he wouldn't answer questions about it So a lot of us didn't know what he did in the war Until really only the last few years. He's talked about a little bit more, but uh He was traumatized by war enough that he once he came home. He pretty much left that Um left that behind Joe motion videos grandfather served under patent my grandfather did as well And I think he's mentioned that he has a memory of patent of seeing him one time um Hey, javier gunzala. How you doing? Yeah flashbacks. Um, yeah, that's that's You know, um These toys and comic books and cartoons and all of that. Uh, that's it's fun. It's a fun adventure But uh, it is you know, it does touch on something That is real. Um, and that can have Quite an impact on people. So that's something to keep in mind Something to be respectful of as we talk about these toys that are dressed up like army men I'm sorry that you were bullied in sixth grade. I can relate to that. I can Sland into jam lockers. That's that uh, that it's not cool, but I understand. Hi bill Um Looks like we're doing pretty good. Thanks for everybody for showing up uh Well, uh, green yeti. I hope that uh, you recovered and I hope that you were able to move on from that That's not a pleasant experience Uh, ran with iceberg and snow job wearing Uh, cooling suits for florida heat conditions Um Yeah, you know, that's a good point. You know, I always pondered whether or not like Winter themed or snow themed figures. Uh, hey leo. Thank you If those figures were would appeal more to kids who lived in environments where they got a lot of snow Um where I live and we would usually get some snow, but not very much Uh But I never thought about like the opposite. So you live in florida And it's hot Uh, and you don't get snow. So maybe um So maybe uh Having the snow themed figures can make you think of something cool or you know get that the heat off of your mind a little bit Um stalker stalker was your fave. So mine too. Uh, hey chris. How's it going? Um Why do they ever make uh christmas themes? Why didn't they ever make christmas themed gi joe? Um, I don't think they made a christmas themed figure, but there was a christmas theme at least one christmas themed Uh cartoon episode maybe maybe more than one Um, what was that one where like cobra shrunk down its its vehicles and and like It was really weird christmas themed episode. I'll have to watch it again. Um, that was It was something else Yeah, cobra claws are coming in town. That's the one. That's the one. I couldn't remember the title. Yeah, that's it. That's it Um 12 days of christmas gi joe episode. Well, um Christmas is my favorite holiday. So, uh, maybe I can do something special for it I do have something special in mind for the last review of the year Um, so I've already got that part planned What shows you think uh speak with a regional accent always pictured scarlet having Uh a soft sort of an accent scarlet ought to have a southern accent, but um In the animated series She didn't really and that voice is kind of stuck in my head And that's kind of become scarlet's voice to me even though it it doesn't fit the region that she came with or came from Uh really want an ice ice cream soldier. Um Uh, well cool, um Uh, so you're welcome, you know Actually really makes me happy when somebody watches one of my ranty reviews and you know, I've Actin all crazy because I think the figure is tellerable and you tell me that hey I like it and I want to get it. Well, good. Good. That makes me happy That means you are thinking for yourself. You are making your own decisions And you can do that Even when some guy on the internet is flapping his arms and screaming Hey, thanks, brian First gi joe yours was hot version two. My first was breaker version one the straight arm breaker From 1982 I got that figure. Um the first gi joe commercial that I ever Um Saw was in 82 and it was the the commercial where That had breaker and the ram motorcycle Which I think was actually the second commercial that aired. I didn't don't remember seeing the first one But I thought breaker looked cool in that he looked important in that Uh commercial so I just assumed he must be an important character. Um, but um, I I don't remember specifically If that was the reason why I got that figure Because he didn't come with any guns or anything. He only had the headset or the backpack and stuff But yeah, that's the one I latched on to first Your first was snake eyes version one. Yeah, that's a good one to start with That's a good one to start with Um, your first was short fuse. See, um, there are some old school guys here I've been privileged to meet a lot of gi joe fans that came along in the 90s Or the maybe the late 80s, so they didn't get in on like the the first few years And i'm glad that they are fans and i'm glad they're uh in our community But you know, there are still a few of us old folks that remember that first run And when they hit man when they hit they were big Um, it I remember before that everything was star wars But after that, um, I mean, I still picked up star wars here and there But uh, it Became, you know heavily lean heavily toward gi joe. There's just so much more you could do with gi joe figure than you could do with a star wars figure Um Surprise now high prices have jumped lately on joes Um like the hurricane, uh, I guess Um, I the trend has been uh that direction for a little while now prices have been trending upward I don't think i'm surprised by it, but I don't think that it necessarily Is going to be a long-term trend. I feel like there's a bit of a bubble I think that some of it is fed been fed by Recent media attention on vintage toys Such as the netflix series the toys that made us which is a good series that I liked very much But I think that it turned a lot of people on to the idea of collecting vintage toys So I think the demand is going up and I think that's driving the prices up a bit But I think some of that attention will wane a bit and I think prices will come back a little bit more toward normal, um, but uh In the long long term of poor prices always go up But we've got we've had a spike here and I think that spike is more more of a bubble I think I think it'll settle down a bit if you're patient. I think it'll settle down Lost the bad accessories within a week or so. Well, those were tiny accessories First character you gravitated toward was cobra commander because it was blue First joey bought with allowance money of that cobra commander and duke comic pack With issue number 24 Do I have that? I don't know if I have that or not I was sent all of those things But I have a hard time remembering what else was in that that collection Yeah, the I of course, I love the quality of gi joe toys in the 80s. I think they were great I think they were one of the reasons they were great is because they were designed as toys. They're not they weren't designed as display pieces They were supposed to be sturdy. They were supposed to have like excuse me accessories that fit They were supposed to They were supposed to be played with That being said even at the time Some of the accessories were really tiny and were just bound to get lost. It was just gonna happen All right. Oh, sorry, I missed some of your comments So cheap online Sergeant savage. Yeah, there's just a little less of a demand for sergeant savage and there's a lot of them around They're not really rare. Some of the vehicles are though. There's actually more demand for some of the vehicles But I did my sergeant savage review and I got Figures mint on the card and I did not pay very much for them. So So if you if you want to get sergeant savage, you can get sergeant sergeant savage without paying too much I would also like to know if there was a combat engineer. I believe toll booth was a combat engineer The first vehicle was the mudbuster. Uh, what was my first? I have a harder time remembering what my first vehicle was for some reason that that didn't stick in my head as much as my first figure Osvander says keep up. Uh, great work. Love your videos. Thank you very much Uh, I really appreciate that and that's very encouraging and I need the encouragement right now. Believe me Um, my first vehicle, I think it might have been the jump jetpack or the ram motorcycle But I I gotta be honest. I can't exactly remember Um, for some reason that just it's just not sticking in my head um The mobat, uh, yeah First vehicle was the sky striker. That's a great one to start with Uh Joe motion videos Byron first was the ram. That's Um, I personally I think Well, almost all the vehicles from 82, uh were excellent, you know introductions for gi joe Um, the flak was from 82, right the flak Wasn't maybe quite up to snuff, but You know, you had an 82 you had a big tank.  Um Half of joe's made it to the attic half stay in the basement. Unfortunately mom tossed your toys from the basement Um Well, at least you saved half of them. That's more than I saved all I have is what was in that little toolbox I got nothing else And I don't know what happened to my old ones I am pretty sure that they got tossed out On one of the occasions when my parents moved They say that they didn't throw anything away honest. They didn't throw anything away. They wouldn't do a thing like that But um, I just think things didn't make the move. Um That's my theory. Um But that's okay. I mean I have I have I probably have no I definitely I definitely have more gi joe toys now than I had when I was a kid So I can't complain Cobra hiss was your first another great vehicle. Man, I love most of the vehicles from that era um and the the hiss tank is As as weird it is as it is admittedly it's weird, you know, but it's weird in a cool way Um Able to complete one figure from the toolbox. Uh, yeah, uh, that was toxo viper The toxo viper is the only figure from all those parts that I could completely put together That toxo viper Um Joes were sold at a yard sale Uh too old for kids toys. Yeah, I'm probably too old for kids toys. That's probably true But you know what all that stuff that got sold at yard sales It does it does come back to the community. You know, eventually it ends up back with us Uh, so hopefully someday, uh, your toys will make it back around to you. Um dragonfly was awesome I agree the slugger was your first vehicle Again, a great one to start with Uh, sky striker, um is a beautiful jet. I love the sky striker So, um Okay, sorry it had to reconnect. Hopefully I'm back. Um, I'm still making videos I'm still aggressive on the next review video. Uh, it's almost done Uh, but um, but my time has been much more pinched than usual. I have not had nearly as much, uh, free time to work on videos that I used to have Um, a lot of extra work is going into learning this new position Um, and it's just the fact that it's a new new position I'm I'm practicing a completely different area of law than I had been for three years Uh, and I'm having to kind of learn it on the go and it's not been easy Uh, and it's taken a lot of my extra time Now at some point at least in theory, I should be more proficient and when I reach that point, uh, I'll I'll be back to normal Um njad974 hello to you as well But uh, but I wanted to let you know, I know that some of you guys have sent me messages You've sent me emails and I haven't replied and I'm sorry.

I know you guys have sent me messages and I'm sorry.  Um, I'm kind of a bourbon guy. Now. I like scotch What was the one I used to drink? Glenn fiddich used to be the scotch that I would drink, uh, but it's it runs a bit pricey and I haven't indulged lately, but I still have a nip of bourbon every once in a while Um Cosplay fantasy camp out happening this weekend on friday the 10th saturday the 12th. Hope to see you all there Okay, so you saw that right. How do you get how you're gonna solace, uh cosplay Fantasy camp out so make sure to ask that dude, uh, how you can get involved and go to that I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it'd be fun. It sounds like fun Um, yeah, glenn fiddich 18 year I've had More than a couple bottles of that and it's pretty good Um, anyway, I wanted to let you guys know why if you sent me anything why I haven't gotten back with you I'm sorry about that. Uh, it's just been a heck of a time But not to worry. Uh, I am still Producing videos The next one is in the works. It's almost ready. It's almost ready. It's gonna be ready early It will have it up on time but uh, but Extra stuff that I like to do for the channel. I may have to put a little bit of that on the back burner until my schedule evens out Uh, do I have the hammer? I do have it, but it's not complete What is missing is what most of them are missing and that it's that stupid antenna You know what I'm talking about the hammer came with an antenna that ran like from the back to the front kind of did a loop Um And that's what I'm missing and that's the hardest part to find the most expensive part when you do find it Um, so that's what I've got to keep my eye out on for to complete the hammer I like the hammer.  Uh, that would be fun. Uh, It would be fun. Um, I'd do it Um, peter steele is dead. Yes, that's correct. Peter steele has passed away Yep, I met peter steele once um, I went to see typo negative in Nashville Uh, and he was out by the tour bus, you know, signing stuff. So we got to meet him Cold slither is fiction Are you sure? Are you really sure? Uh, do I have the mud buster? I don't have the mud buster. Um, I've had On occasions I've had my eye on the mud buster, but um, it keeps getting bumped down and I don't know priority level, um Because I got to pick up some other things I did what hey another thing I can tell you another bit of news better news good news Um I recently made an acquisition That will ensure that we will have the big review At the beginning of next year the big item to review for next year has been acquired It's not the defiant. It doesn't look like I'm going to have the defiant ready on time. Uh, so I went ahead and um I I got something that would work as as a substitute for the big review at the beginning of the year So I'm happy about that. I love to show it to you. I'd like it's just right over there But I can't show it to you because it's got to be a surprise uh, but uh Now that I've done that I can turn my attention back to the defiant because I um, some of you folks have been sending me like links to uh defiant parts that are for sale Uh, and I'm now I can like replenish my funds and um, and start Getting some of those larger defiant parts So I can actually start to assemble it and it can start to look more complete Uh, you get a lot of you guys have actually sent me a bunch of defiant parts and that's been a huge help Um, I'll especially a lot of those little parts that some of them can be really hard to find You guys have sent to me. Uh, and that's been uh, awesome Um, so the defiance coming together. It's not going to be ready by the beginning of january But it's a heck of a lot closer than I thought it would be um Yeah, but now my attention probably will turn to the defiant And trying to get that uh get that short up Uh as a piece that I'm currently looking for I'm actually uh, if you're talking about a piece on the defiant, uh those gantry doors Um I will not yet, but I will be on the hunt for those as soon as I Are replenish some of my funds um I I have I hope you look forward to seeing the defiant when it actually gets reviewed I'm looking forward to reviewing it. I've I've got some thoughts about it Um, and you know, you guys know that I'm not into the joes in space. That's just not my thing Uh, despite that though, you know setting that aside and just kind of looking at the defiant You know just for what it is Uh, there's it's pretty special. Uh, they put a lot of effort into this thing Um, some of the uh the details on it and the features on it are exceptional Um, and and some of them are also maybe a little, you know, less than you would expect So we'll give it a good thorough going over. Yes, we will. Um, thanks. Uh, Josiah, I appreciate that um So, yeah, that's a bit of good news I did pick up something. It actually arrived today That will be the big review for the first of the year 2019 Uh, hello, Port LaNorgan. Hello from Oklahoma um And and the downside is that I'm very busy lately, uh, and I just haven't been able to return your messages I think that's one of the benefits of doing a live stream like this If if I'm not able to return your emails and messages I apologize for that, but hey, this gives me a chance to kind of talk to you directly um Trying to piece together a vehicle the size of the defiant, uh, yeah a little bit, but um Uh, if if you're If you if you are patient, it's um, it's not it's not necessarily as bad as you'd think Some of the parts are going to be expensive. There's just no way around that But other parts that you you can find them you can um Does it start with a t I can't say I can't say it's got to be a surprise Or uh, I've really enjoyed talking with you guys Um, and uh, this I look forward to this every week, you know, this is a great, uh time for me every week Uh to kind of you know put the stress of work um past me and talk with you and uh that helped To go up on Wednesday I try to put up a little something in the middle of the week, but I don't think I have anything this time But in the meantime make sure to review x257.

Uh, so with that I will say good night


Hey guys, we just got out of the Sydney premiere of Wonder Woman. We got freebies, it was awesome. I'm Dres. I'm Jared. We're from So Is It Any Good, and this is our review on Wonder Woman. So Wonder Woman tells the story of Diana, Princess of the Amazons. She is living in an island paradise, and then this American pilot fresh lands into the water. She saves him and he tells them of the horrors of World War I. Diana needs to do something. So they grab a boat back to civilization, or our civilization, and I go to find Ares. Ares the God of War, who Diana thinks is behind everything. The movie stars Gal Gadot as Diana, Wonder Woman, but they don't actually use Wonder Woman. No. We don't hear it at all. It's just Diana, or Diana Prince. We got Steve Trevor played by Chris Pine. Yep, in full Captain Kirk mode. Captain Kirk mode? And it reminds me of Steve Rogers, Captain America. A little bit, a little bit. How much does he pitch? Yeah, he's got the same haircut. Apparently everybody in World War I had the same haircut. True. I reckon he probably could have played Captain America. Yeah. He certainly shows off his muscles. Yes, you're going to like that, girls. Yeah. He does get quite nude. We got Robin Wright as well, and we have Connie Nelson and Danny Houston, but you have to watch this to see what those characters are. So what did you think, Chris?  Sorry, Marvel, but DC has packed a good punch and they're taking over. Oh, my God, this is a fourth film. So we had Superman, we had Batman vs Superman, Suicide Squad, and now we have Wonder Woman with Justice League on the way. Yep. Friggin loved every little second of this movie. Gal Gadot is phenomenal. It's amazing. Her screen presence, her beauty, I couldn't get over it. I don't know where they found this woman, but she is bringing together their extended universe like nothing else. Oh, definitely. She plays that good mix of tough as nails, but innocent and naive about the world and you just believe every second of it. Oh, definitely. She really draws you in. Would you say this is probably the best they've done so far? Most definitely. It has down the best DC movie to date in the official extended universe. Oh, man, it was so good. Funny throughout, the Chris Pines really funny. He was great in it. And from the get go, their chemistry is amazing. Yeah, all of the sidekicks, the secretary, the three guys that they're bringing to help them with their mission are awesome. Yeah, you know what I love the most about it was in Batman vs Superman, we saw that photo with like an old photo with all of them lined up. So we wanted to know a little bit more and you get to find out who's behind that team, what is significance of the photo. Yeah, it was so, it was so good. I think the romantic aspect of Steve Trevor and Diana was great. It was the whole time I'm like, kiss her. Kiss her, kiss her, please.  Please, she's so good, but yeah, blown away still, man. I'm just like, I didn't even know what to say because it's such a good movie. I think it probably has some issues in the end. I think it hits a good climax about halfway through the movie. The battle on the front is probably the stand-up for me where she gets up out of the trench and starts kicking ass. That's probably the highlight of the movie and there's a good probably hour after that. So it kind of loses steam a little bit for me at the end, but still really solid. Favorite parts? Favorite parts. I won't take that away from you with what you said. I think probably my favorite part was the ending. It was a huge big battle with Diana and the main villain of the film, which I'm not going to give too much away, but it was so intense. It kept you on the seat. I think, yeah, it did have highs and lows throughout the film, but the ending, I think, for me, went out on a bit of a high. That's good. What did you think? It's your favorite scene.  It's also the first time you see her in the full Wonder Woman get-up, so they got that awesome shot of her just kind of marching through it. Yeah. And that song, man. I love that. I want to walk down to my wedding, just down the aisle having that song playing. Yeah, for sure, man. I'm sure your fiancé would be fine with it. Yeah, I think she'll like that. Low lights. Whether any. Low moments. Personally, no, I didn't think there was any low moments for me. It was just all highs. It was getting high. I think every time there was supposed to be a low moment, we'd see a girl's face in. It was just like, oh, so dreamy. So much in love. Yeah, what about low moments for you? I didn't like the overuse of slow-mo. A lot of the fight scenes, they tend to do some extended slow-mo shots. They're very cool, but after like 12 of them, you're kind of, all right, keep going. That seems to be the way that the Amazon women fight. And in the beginning, it was weird. The CTI was a little bit ropey on some of those scenes on the beach when they were supposedly flipping off horses and whatnot. Obviously, that's hard to do, but you're 20 minutes into the movie, you expect them to at least front-load the good CGI. It was crazy, like they did slow it down, but then you could see sort of the errors. And then it was sped up weird. So, yeah, that kind of took me out of it a little bit. And as I said, the final battle didn't meet the high of the middle battle for me, but it kind of gets to a point where there's just powerful people shooting stuff. Energy at each other after that. Explosions and fighting, yeah. So, like, that part I didn't love, but it was still awesome. Without giving too much away, it's her origin story, but you don't find out everything. There's still so much more behind it, because her mother's holding back some of the things. But the good part is that we find out along with Diana, so it's in that sense, it's a true origin story, because even she doesn't know the extent of her powers, so she's finding out along the way. True, true. I think watching it unfold through her eyes was probably one of the best bits as well. Yeah, those eyes, man. Oh, she's so good. Let's all just think about her eyes for a minute. Oh, I love her so much. Girl! So, all in all, solid effort DC. Big ups to Director Patty Jenkins. She knocked it out of the park with this one. It's definitely the best in the DC Extended University thus far. Final thoughts? Final thoughts. This is for you, gal. I know you're married with a child. I'm about to get married, but if there's any way we can be together, I love you. Look, I love Wonder Woman. I thought it was a magnificent film. Big yes. Big yes from me. Big yes from me. And big yes for gal. Perfect. Anyway, guys, it comes out this Thursday. June 1st, so go see it. I'm Dries. I'm Jared. We're from So Is It Any Good. Remember to subscribe below, and we'll see you next time on another review.


Hey everyone come back to figure fantasy, so we have here a new event Infinite gaming. We're gonna be starting with mask Sheerlock and we're gonna be starting with easy. So I'm gonna give you guys the lineup for this one Okay, guys, so this is the lineup for easy. So let's see how this does Okay, two objectives on our Victory what she victory so for allied figures survive Interrupt white tile in unleashing its ultimate So it's ready checked out because the key to it is this match up with a yanny Okada and white tile here He she should be able to interrupt him While or before he cast his ultimate. So this line up again He's kind of I think limited to a you know limited to a certain Formation so you gotta make sure that your formations are correct for this one. So as you can see here Three stars achieve and let's move on to the next one Okay, so onward to hard difficulty for infinite gaming mask Sheerlock Okay, so this is my lineup for this difficulty similar to easy lineup. So let's see how it this does Okay, so same objectives for allied figure survive interrupt white tile in unleashing its ultimate So a yanny Okada should be able to reach the back line after we defeat this Person or this figure right here the toothpaste by the way. So she's in the back So all I need is for all figures to survive this and we are golden for this one so we're down to one toothpaste left and Hopefully we can survive this onslaught of attacks Okay, so there you go Okay, another three star clear for this difficulty. Okay, so far. I final difficulty, which is going to be torment I'm going to show you guys my lineup Okay, so more expanded lineup here with five figures So a yanny Okada in the middle so that you could get through to these three at the back. So Let's try this out Okay, so objectives is five allied figure survive. So also interrupt the white tile in unleashing It's ultimate. So we have three white tiles at the back so that is why a yanny Okada should pass through the middle and Interrupt all three at the back. So So far We haven't interrupted them yet so far Okay, so there you go We have objective completed and we are still surviving so far so far So I think this is going to be good five figure survive and we have completed all objectives Okay, so that is it guys Three star clears also for this one and thank you very much for staying this far So hopefully these guys were helpful to you clearing these stages as well. So thank you very much.  This is the warden and I'm out of here


My name is Corporal Madden and this is canine woody. Follow along as we patrol Pasco County and respond to calls for service. Hey everybody, we stopped off here at the Shops of Wiregrass to make contact with the businesses and citizens just to see if we can answer any questions or enlighten them on what's going on. And of course I brought woody the therapy dog, just who doesn't love some love, right? So a lot of my job is comprised of working with the community, building relationships with citizens, business owners, talking about crime prevention. I also report to calls for service where and when needed and help out in our recruiting department. So we're driving around. We just found a disabled vehicle block in the roadway here. So we're going to get out and check on them, make sure they're okay and help out the vehicle. So the vehicle was disabled in the turn lanes. The lady was very distraught. Her vehicle just stopped working. So we were able to get the vehicle pushed off the roadway. She was able to call for help. So now we're just waiting for a tow truck. So this concludes our tweet along. Thanks for following along and kind of seeing what we do on a daily basis. Take care.


is dedicating yet we are back back back again to win to show you guys how to get these dividends in today's video guess what baby we have a special guest i know you guys are wondering what a special guest is i already told you guys who the special guest was a few videos ago in yesterday's video baby but you probably get a pop like chris code our special guest is the owner ceo and founder of the delivered app the liver app is filled d l i v r d delivered if you want to sign up for delivered make sure you click the link in the description and also use the referral called Jerome Adams everything you didn't know is right in the description baby but we are going to do a order with him as well as ask him a few questions baby so some of those questions that you guys ask in the comment section i definitely will be asking him those questions but there's no question you about to get to this money like it ain't funny the pick up place is job burritos we try to get these cheetos that she just in case you was wondering the order cost is three hundred and fifty nine dollars we are going to drive 11 miles and receive a payment of 53 30 but to show you we were you let's go how are you

these different ends so you've done this before plenty of times i'm out here on the ground let's go get so much money our fans must go get in and get these different ends y'all know we gonna win just like that we are downstairs at the lunch room they got big tables down here i'm guessing this probably is the safest smartest one i would think no chairs around yeah well i'm wrong with this well that's the flavor burning up scorching don't join see this gorgeous almost burnt your fingers i'm uh oh i don't got no service now i don't know i have to wait up and come back hopefully the app don't mess up on me well at least you get to see it mess up on me if you hear yeah i'll always uh i take a picture in my camera roll and then upload it because smart man let me try it you know you have service that you get in the elevator and then it goes on service and you lose the picture yep now i'm gonna step back and put the photo with your noodles got that and we are good to go let's go and we are here with my guy chris baby who is chris chris is the owner of delivered founder ceo he run the whole thing he have to get in that green now i've made a video and asked you guys to ask some questions and we have plenty of questions to ask my god chris and he said we can ask him whatever we want to know except for how much you get paid that's it other than that we can ask him anything else now i just want to say i appreciate my god chris for coming out and he sicked his flight just for us he had some other stuff he had to do but that's canceled so he came all the way to chicago from philly so we can get busy so i need you guys to comment below and give him a thumbs up just for that now do you want to say anything no i just appreciate you having me come out and doing the delivery with you super excited to do the interview okay so question number one what criteria do you use to decide who you send the order to yeah so as everybody knows we send orders out a day in advance we give everybody some time to to accept them and what we do is we build driver profiles so when you tell us what kind of vehicle size you have how many catering bags you have how many catering bags you bought from the store and how many orders you've done it matches you with orders so we don't just arbitrarily send orders to drivers and hope that they can complete them we're sending orders out to drivers based upon the information that we have and that's why it's important if you get a bigger car or you get a smaller car or you get more catering bags you let us know so that way we can update our system so the ai can make sure that it's pairing you with the right orders number two is there a way to receive more orders probably the biggest question that comes through our chat line our phone support when i'm out there and i see other other people out there driving like hey great to meet you how do i get more orders right like instant at our driver engagement events it's always the hot topic i can tell everybody emphatically we are working to get more orders on the platform right up until this year we didn't have a sales staff it was all organic growth it was me it was customers that saw us deliver for other competitors or their other platforms and they were reaching out to us but now we have sales people we have account managers so we're working diligently to get more orders in the hands of drivers the easiest way to get more orders though is take the orders that you are sent right so a lot of people see an order come in it has a lower earning right the system's only going to offer drivers low earnings for up to the first 10 orders because everybody wants to be like i'm the best driver i'm always going to show up but we can't risk being fined on an order that's a thousand bucks if we don't have a track record he's showing up for those 150 dollar sub total orders so the easiest way is really to just take what's sent to you and build that rapport and the system thrives off that also take advantage of that new open board orders show up there at eight o'clock local market time and saying yes to same day orders really helps in like getting that trust built on the system so really right now it's just take advantage of of the orders that are sent to you and know that right now too it's summertime it's a little bit slower so we're gonna creep through the rest of the month of august we're gonna creep through probably the first week in september and then we should see a solid spike in volume through the rest of the year and then again in january it'll be a little bit slower so like july fourth to the end of the summers always a slow period and then from christmas to like the middle of end of january is another slow period question number three we are getting busy why are the open orders not located on the s so when i first started the company in 2018 i purchased the base code of the delivered driver app from a firm so there are certain things that i can't change in the driver app and adding like custom pages or their custom features like that is one of them so there's a couple things that the app lacks that we're we're well well aware of and we're looking to make changes we're hoping to make a technology change at some point this year and hopefully i hate quoting things in public because then people hold me to it so i'm just gonna say at some point in 2024 we should have a new driver app experience our goal is from the time that a driver says they are interested in an order interested in delivering for the platform to the time that they are paid you are living in a hundred percent the delivered ecosystem so we can have full control over that driver journey and really just try and take an ordinary experience and make it extraordinary for the drivers so uh there's some stuff that we just can't do that's one of it but we didn't want to wait on releasing the open order board and having that opportunity for people to claim orders until we had full control of the tech stack so that's why you see it as a standalone web app the one plus side is it is the framework to the future of a driver ecosystem where the login that all the drivers have created now is the login that will be used for the next couple features that are coming out down the road so it's all in like a grand plan together somehow we'll uh we'll make it all work we always we always seem to find a way okay so now i'm adding on to that is it possible to put it in notifications in a notifications part the like the notifications part the notifications the push notifications in the app are kind of they're unreliable to say the best so that's why we lean so heavy on text messaging a lot of apps use push notifications but we uh we found in the original iteration of delivered we used uh our chat was built into the app and all the notifications were in the app but then we were getting uh drivers mentioning that they weren't able they weren't getting the notifications they weren't seeing the chats because they had to rely on better data service they had to rely on the the app settings being correct to allow notifications a lot of people turn that stuff off so we went to an sms based system to meet the drivers where they are everybody texts and you can't turn off a notification is like in an app for that so it's just easier to go to go with the text eventually the idea is to just kind of make it where it's a pattern we're not going to send a message out every day eight o'clock people are just going to go in and kind of check uh and then if drivers are a part of the emerald elite which is the top 10% of drivers in a market they get access to the open order board 30 minutes early so that's one of the best you know about the leafing yeah uh yeah emerald elite is for the top 10 drivers in each market everybody should have got an email that says this is how many orders you have this is how many orders you need to take to be a part of emerald elite um but you can always email drive at delivered.io and ask for a standing there uh emerald elite gives you early access on the order board uh you get access to higher earning orders first and our auto assigner fredrick which is who pushes all the orders out the ai system uh goes to emerald elite 30 minutes before you're like a non emerald driver so uh plus they have a dedicated account rep on our driver engagement team for the emerald drivers so you know there's a lot of perks there and that ties right back to the original thing it's just the way to get more orders the way to be part of emerald elite is to just you know do the orders that are sent it seems counterintuitive like i don't want to take this twenty dollar order i don't want to take this twenty two dollar order but it will help get the bigger orders down the line everybody wants the big bad orders up front but they're there you just need to you just need to work towards them so as you guys it's hard just stay tuned to stick around baby the changes are coming you just got to be patient this stuff's take time nothing was built overnight they said hey when in Rome do as a roman's doing my name is wrong so do as i do be patient and stay calm now i get this question all the times is it in my city is it in the city is in that city is in that city how do they find out if the liver is in their city so the uh the easiest way to find out if you go to delivered.io slash drive you can pick uh which country united states or canada we're in uh we're in both and then you can choose your state uh and then you can choose your metro from there we're in 151 markets across the u.s and canada some of those are a little deceiving uh like dfw is a market on the list there but that's dallas fort worth so it's technically two cities in one market uh dc metros another one where it's technically like maryland virginia dc so that 151 market is kind of unique to us it's a little bit a little bit larger uh for the most part we're there if you go to the website and you don't see a market there and you're there and you're interested in taking orders you can always email drive at deliver.io and say hey i'm in x yz market uh and we'll get you in a wait list as our demand partners send us volume for there ask us if we can open up in those areas then we'll have a jumping point to get you some orders now y'all heard what he said but i want to say this make sure that you do your own homework first don't just email them first make sure you go to the website like he said what is it again deliver.io slash drive deliver.io slash drive google that then you're going to go to the website and find out what's in your area don't just email them first you try to be lazy baby they got a lot of stuff they got to do now question number five realistically does your company take feedback from drivers into consideration when making updates or changes to the app or process yeah absolutely we try our best to handle constructive feedback we do get a lot of feedback like i need more orders you know give me more orders we all do right you know there's there's a difference between a complaint and constructive feedback and we listen to all of them we really do with the constructive feedback you can see little changes in things that have been inspired by drivers so little tweaks in the text message that goes out about what time the pickup is originally the text message that went out didn't have that and a driver's like that would be great you know that would be great to know people wanted to see things like the mileage so we added a mileage field in the bottom of the delivery information so we take these things and if it makes measurable sense and it's not going to break a lot of technology then yeah we're we're totally into it because at the end of the day the drivers are out the one doing it all the time and without delivery drivers we wouldn't be a delivery platform we also require everybody in our office any like full-time delivered employee has to go out once a quarter and take orders so i go out once a quarter if not more do deliveries use the app look for things that i don't like in it as well and then send that off to our product team to see if they can make it better and that is how you should run the business hey everybody should be out there taking orders because y'all need to know what's going on with books on the ground not in the uh in a computer lab typing in stuff that's it's a big difference between the two so and i mean i've got one thing there too and off of this what i'll do is by time this airs i will create an email address of suggestions at deliver dot i o and it can be an email just for drivers to email in suggestions or things that they would like to see or they would want to do better and i'll make sure that goes right to the product team and i'll even have it cc myself on the email as well so i can see the direct feedback that people want to make it easier for people to you know to send their ideas that's a hey he already making it happen baby now question number six we are here in the mix would you consider taking one gig driver from each state to do a zoom call for q and a yeah that's a great question we had a couple zoom calls with clients clients asked us if they could talk with some drivers about their orders and specific and we connected drivers with the clients to allow for communication between the two for the client to better understand the delivery journey and for the driver to better understand the client's desires and needs one thing we do have coming up soon is driver town halls we're going to try and start hosting those where drivers can join and we'll have a segment there where it's asked the hard questions and it'll be a will solicit questions ahead of time kind of like this and people can can send those in and we're going to pick the hard ones the ones that people wouldn't expect us to answer and put those out there and then a part of the emerald elite is an emerald elite call where those elite people get to come on and join a call with leadership once a quarter as well but yeah i mean i'm open to talking with drivers uh we do the driver engagement events as well in different metros this month it was in boston next month is denver so uh we we try and make sure we have open communication as much as possible but i'm always hoping the new ways to to communicate with drivers okay well as you guys just heard he just made a very great point which i like a lot he just said that people who are emerald elite they can already ask questions right so hey if you want to ask some questions make sure you become emerald elite i ain't even an emerald elite i ain't gonna know about it but hey question number seven question number seven three of question number seven at what rate do you anticipate an increase in orders over the next year who such a loaded question we've grown three acts it's a great question we've grown three acts every year since 2018 last year we forexed as far as order volume this year uh you can't once you get so high it's hard it's hard to keep going so i'm a little sad we're only gonna we're projecting like a two x uh two x bump from the previous year but that being said the fourth quarter is still coming so we could see a two and a half maybe we could stretch to three more we do have some new great integrations coming uh if i opened up like my slack channel right now i think we're working on oh sorry sorry to cut you off yeah okay i'm an annual slag okay perfect so if i looked if i pulled up my slack right now we're probably in the midst of anywhere from 15 to 20 integrations with different order demand partners and it could be anything from individual restaurant brands to e-commerce companies uh or other like order aggregators so we have some exciting stuff coming uh i i would love to confidently say that by the end of 2024 we will have tripled our order volume uh from what it's currently at as far as just in the straight catering space and with some of the other integrations coming and some of the other spaces moving into as far as like the e-com world uh we could probably see you know i mean multiples of that so really i guess it's really just keeping an open mind and like yeah i'm gonna try this order i'm gonna take it i'm gonna take this lower earning order you know just just take it see what happens and then provide that feedback so we know if it's working or if it's not that's how you do it baby we have to see if it's working or not so you already said he already put me on the team look i already look i told you on in a live my god chris if he want to pay for some marketing we already told him right now today we put the wrap on the van so we can get these bands as long as it can be like my head and i'm just like hey christ let me tell you this i don't care what you put on there see me driving around chicago i don't care what you put on there as long as i get paid i don't care what you put on there question number eight don't be good be great and don't be fake now what are your top five busiest cities i should i really should know this we just talked about the top 10 the other day number one is is undoubtedly new york city new york city is our top metro i'd say next would be san francisco um i'm gonna venture and like probably not like in exact order but definitely new york san francisco austin texas um right either like fort lauderdale miami it's just called south florida and then uh it would probably be like a pretty decent tie for the top fifth like denver dc um would probably would probably like be really close there so you know some of the some of the bigger cities have the the bigger demand so what's fun is like new york city like a historically hard market to like pick up and deliver food in because because they're catering orders most driver all drivers they're still using cars in manhattan uh and we boast in 86 on time rate which is lower than most other markets right for new york i think 80 86 percent like 120 percent like it's i think it's a good number so question number nine y'all see we are here in the grind hey take some time and hit that thumbs up and make sure you smash that subscribe button if you are not subscribed question number nine how do you figure out what the base pay is going to be yeah so base fee is basically calculated off of what we're getting paid for that order so for us obviously delivered has to make some money we have overhead our insurance is crazy expensive our technology costs are a lot before an order even comes in like before an order even makes it to a driver's app we've already paid google maps uh the regular like google routing api like you're probably talking just like a quarter just every time that order just touches right off the bat um but so what we try and do is with all the customers we want to make sure we're two things fair to the client and fair to the driver so when people order from a restaurant or an aggregator they have a delivery fee and we don't want it when that delivered driver shows up the restaurant to be like this is horrible like i love that they're here to deliver it but i'm just getting like i'm getting charged too much and it's not good we want them to be excited that they got another catering order and they're putting more revenue into their pocket so we work with each brand partner to to work within the constraints of what their existing delivery fee is so they're happy when the drivers show up right they're happy that food's going out the door but to counter that we want to make sure that we're paying the driver fairly for the order so we know what it costs for us to execute an order and then we know what our risk is as far as our contractual obligations for if the order is late or if it's messed up or dropped off at the wrong place and we work that into into the model as well to make sure that we keep our margins and then that kind of we do that math and that's what backs out to to set those base fees uh the biggest thing is just kind of making sure like i said that the driver is compensated you know fairly for that uh and between the base fee and the tip to have that average earning fall into our window of what we like at 35 to 45 dollars uh per order i think right now we're like 37 or maybe 42 uh average earning per order and i know a lot of people are going to be like oh i get his 20 orders we probably haven't taken 10 orders yet so like the small orders come you gonna know you got that 10 orders when they see that package when they see that package in the middle you did 10 orders right exactly exactly and to add on to that my other question on top of that is is there ever sometimes where the customer does not tip great question we get this a lot in the chat uh those drivers will see an order and say like this should have a 10 tip on it all caterings always have a 10 tip on it after five years pretty much exclusively in the catering delivery space but further from the truth maybe in other apps that subsidized costs or were funded maybe they just did that for us it's about 40 percent of orders we identify as no or under tipped so 40 percent of customers just don't just don't do it and it could be a mix of things where they're ordering from doesn't prompt for a tip uh some companies don't don't allow tipping pharmaceutical reps only have x amount of budget per person food cost is high so they they can afford the food right they have so many people to feed if it comes between making the sale of that pharma equipment or tipping the driver they're they're gonna try and sell that pharma equipment or that drug so uh what we do though is if an order is under tipped or not tipped enough we match that out of our pocket so the lowest tip you'll see on an order is $10 and that means if a customer tips zero or tips five we're either putting 10 bucks in there or we're putting five bucks in there and we've worked with some of our ordering partners that send us orders they help offset some of that cost some don't we just do it uh but we want to make sure that you know again we're not exploiting the gig workforce and we're making sure people are uh you know getting paid fairly for what they do and we don't advertise it in the app like you would never know this is a tipped order this is a non tipped order uh because we don't want the customer being treated any different right we don't want any there to be any like disdain for them well he didn't tip anyway so why am i going to set this up so we just hide it we just throw it in there it is what it is if it comes down between us making our margin or 50 of our margin then we're going to make the 50 of our margin um and then we'll make our full margins on that other 60 of the orders so it's it's just a balance right it's what's doing it's balancing what's doing right versus you know the financial responsibilities you're here first from the horse's mouth hey that's his words baby so sometimes these people don't be tipping we all know that we all know that these people don't tip sometimes question number 10 we are here getting it in we're about to get some dividends do 100 of the tip goes to the driver yes 100 all the tip goes to the driver like i said even the orders that don't have enough tip we put into it um we're not in the game of moving things around sometimes orders will change right like we get a lot of pushback customers can modify their order after we send it so when a text message goes out there's the word um projected earnings and they're projected because that's what we think they're going to be the customer can always change it and a lot of times the the base fee is tied to the subtotal so the order gets changed and they drop 50 bucks and it brings it under a threshold then your base fee could drop if the customer changes their head count and their head count was tied to their tip percentage the tip will drop those earnings will change we're not changing it we're not doing it to be spiteful we're not doing it to put more money in our pocket in a nonconceited way the company is profitable it does well we don't need to steal tips or anything like that to make to make our money we do it you know the right way with the base fees we've even said no to working with restaurant partners that split tips with their kitchen staff and their and their delivery drivers just because we don't feel that's really fair for the drivers so I can say with an emphatical no we do not with that being said restaurants can put in what they want for order tips you know so there may be instances where it happens but it's nothing that's coming from from our app or our tech yeah now I heard what he said look they ain't still have no tips I know that y'all everybody be thinking they still need tips I know I know I know they ain't still have no tips he just told you question number one one we are hitting the job done how do they contact customer service to fix an issue with trying to sign into the app yeah so the easiest way is through text messaging it's eight four four five one five two nine three two say it again eight four four five one five two nine three two one more game eight four four five one five two nine three two so you can text that you can call that if you call in and you're having a question about an issue with the app it's option number two that'll connect you with our driver engagement folks and they'll help you get that resolved I know some people are having issues logging into like the open order board sometimes people have issues logging into the app we also have delivered.io slash educate and that is a knowledge base for drivers that can answer some simple questions on when like when payments go out how to reset passwords you know fun stuff like that as well but anything above that or anything that you can't find on the educate website there's always humans there to help and that's one thing that that I'm proud of in the organization we have a lot of automation like the open order board right like fredrick who assigns all the orders the automated wait times that we just rolled out so lots of cool automation but to be successful I think we need to balance that automation with that human human ability that human connection and the computer can do a lot for us but I think having the availability for real people to answer real questions is super important and that's not that's not going to go anywhere so they're there to help I definitely agree it is way better with actually humans answering the questions versus a robot I know that y'all have to add the robot in there because they got to do a majority of the work when it comes to real questions that need to be answered right on the spot it's always best to have a human in the place hey put them in trunk let them fill the base question number 12 wait up and put it on the scale question number 12 is if they are on the waiting list is there anything they can do to expedite the process so for the wait list we need to do a better job and I'll be the first to admit it we need to communicate better with the drivers that are on the wait list about like what a projected date that it could open back up is and just keeping in communication like just letting you know that we know you're there and we're working on it and it's a hard balance right especially right now because it is the summertime it is a little bit slower so we want to be fair to the existing drivers on the platform to make sure that they have the best opportunity to make money before we open it back up and what's crazy is like most of these most of the drivers that are on the wait list are there like organically which means we're not paying we don't have a lot of search ads right now out for recruiting a drivers there are people that are watching videos like yours or you know others and and finding out about the app when they're seeing a driver at a restaurant picking up another order so which is awesome right I love it so I would imagine that the wait list should start to open up in the in the fall like once we get into that ramp up and like it gets busy again there's nothing anybody can really do to make themselves get on the the wait list fast or get through the wait list faster but just know that we know you're there we want to get you on the platform we just want to make sure it's fair and and know that you waiting now means that if it gets saturated again we're not going to dwindle your orders just because other people are on the you know other people are trying to sign on to the app so I guess it's one of those like it sucks but it's fair and last but not least question number 13 we are getting this green what happens if the restaurant forgets an item does the driver get paid to go back or do they just refund the customer so that's a great question it all depends on the where the order came from the order source it also depends on the item that was sent or the item that was missing right so if you're taking a $250 order and you have $235 worth of that order with you and they forgot I don't know one side of this or you know one of the two salads there's a chance that the ordering partner is going to say just deliver it because it's not worth impacting the majority of the food now if you're taking a dish and the restaurant forgot to package the protein like the chicken for it that's probably going to be something that the customer is going to want it's going to be like a requirement for their meal so the request would be for the driver to go back outside of the base fee and the base fee in the tip there's a couple other ways drivers can earn on the platform one is what we call a re-delivery fee so the second a driver leaves if they have to turn around and go back to pick up a missing item even if they haven't made it to the delivery yet they get a re-delivery fee we pay extra mileage over 10 miles is 50 cents per mile we pay tolls between the delivery and the pickup so anything once you picked up the food or are taking it to delivery if there's a toll on your order that is paid as well and then we pay a cancellation fee if the order cancels within an hour of your pickup you get paid a flat rate and if the order cancels when you have reached your pickup you are paid the full amount whatever that base fee in that tip is because you did your part right it's not the restaurant it's not the driver's fault that the restaurant didn't get the order or the customer canceled the order or whatever those extenuating circumstances were outside of that so those are a couple different ways but i know wait time is a big thing as well after 15 minutes we start billing wait time to the restaurants so drivers get that we've automated that to make it easier for the drivers to increase some earnings and get compensated while they're waiting so i mean really long answer to a really short question do you so is there a certain number certain amount like the amount that you pay per like if we have to re-deliver something or the wait time is it a set in stone yeah so the re-delivery fee i believe is uh $15 to the driver a cancellation fee under an hour is $15 to a driver wait time is a quarter a minute it should break out to like 15 bucks an hour if you waited a full hour and that kicks in after 15 minutes of waiting from the pickup time um so those are kind of the set things and then as far as like a set like a set amount for like if it's worth it for the re-delivery or not that's up to each like ordering partner that's kind of like uh scenario by scenario so since you guys stuck around to stay down there's no way in playing around my god chris right here the owner founder ceo of deliver will be giving

Hello and welcome to the session. My name is Mansi and I am going to help you with the following question. The question says two dice are thrown. The events A, B and C are as follows. Event A is getting an even number on the first die. Event B is getting an odd number on the first die and even C is getting the sum of the numbers on the dice less than equal to 5. Describe the event A and B. So let us start with a solution to this question. We see that event A is getting an even number on the first die and event B is getting an odd number on the first die. So first of all what we do is we write down the sample space for the event A and the event B. So we see that this is a sample space for the event A and this is a sample space for the event B. Now we have to find the event A and B that is A intersection B. Now we see that in the sample space A and sample space B none of these sample points they are same. No sample point is common therefore we can say that A intersection B is equal to 5. So this is our answer to the question. I hope that you understood the question and enjoyed the session. Have a good day.
