All right. Hello again, James Swannick here. And today we are talking to a retired CEO and a best-selling author who has been alcohol-free since Memorial Day weekend in 2016. And he has had a very interesting experience with alcohol over the years. And he's become a new friend of mine. And I wanted to have him here on the show to talk about his experience. Terrence McMahon. Great to have you here, sir. Good to be here, James. And you're sitting very high up in a high-rise north of the Miami at the moment, even though you're from the Boston area, I understand. Yeah, I retired, sold my business and recreated myself as an author in 2016. I moved out of the cold. I spent 47 years in New England. And the seasons were all good, but it was time to make a change. I moved down here. I love it. The Red and the Beach in the Hollywood Beach, Florida. And you're the author of a book that's named Superhero Self. Tell us about that. Yeah, that's a book I wrote after a journey that I had. You know, it was an idea that I wanted to share. It's a little against the grain, so to speak, as it comes to addiction and modalities to stop drinking. I had a unique experience in that, you know, bringing up the speed a little bit. I grew up around alcohol. My father was a big drinker. He also was a great baseball player. My father played baseball. I went out of high school. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds professional baseball team in the States. In fact, he was drafted by all 16 teams and ended up playing at a very young age. He never drank in his life when he went away to play baseball. He made the wrong connections when he was there, came back. As I was told by my grandmother and my mother, he came back a different guy. He connected with the wrong people and he used alcohol every day. He ended up being in the alcohol business. He sold beer. But he taught us all how to play baseball. And my brother Eddie ended up playing with the Minnesota Twins. My brother Sean played with the Blue Jays. My brother Tim and I both went to school on scholarships. So he did teach us how to do some things, but alcohol is a big part of our lives. I used alcohol pretty regularly, most notably and memorably in college. Almost the first day in school at a scholarship. I was real nervous instead of dealing with it. I went out and drank. I was having these panic attacks. And alcohol was a good algorithm for the process to relieve them. That became a daily habit for almost 30 years. I'm kind of Peter out of college, because you can't really drink and play high level sports. And I ended up knocking on doors, selling life insurance, my first job. I didn't know anybody, didn't know anything, didn't have anything. And I went door to door, low Massachusetts, selling life insurance, which is another high stress job.  And I figured it out, but I also drank every single day. And I blew up financially. I figured out some ways to make money, but I also blew up physically. I was 350 pounds. Wow. What are you now? I'm about 218. Wow. Good on you. You look fighting fit. How old are you Terence? I'm 52. 52. So you're 218 pounds. And at your heaviest, you were 350 pounds. 354. I had everything. I built a company that had 600 financial visors and brokers that worked for me. We had 60,000 clients, a billion dollars in assets we managed. We had a big company, but I had those panic attacks in my algorithm for fighting those was alcohol and then later pills. So in Memorial Day Weekend 2016, I thought I was having a heart attack. I was this big heavy guy. And I went into the emergency room and they brought me to a room. It was curtain off in the middle of the room because it was so many drug overdoses in New Hampshire. In the U.S., that was ground zero for opioids. So I'm in the middle of this room and I hear all these people withdrawing in this horrible noises. And the doctors are coming in one at a time. And by the fifth one, I knew I was in trouble and the guy walked up to me and says, Mr. McMahon, it's not your heart. You're in liver failure. Your liver and your pancreas are shutting down. And you are most likely going to die this weekend if we don't go to some extreme measures. So right then on the spot, he looked at me and he said, no amount of alcohol is ever safe for you ever again. And that was a changed moment for me. As he left, I realized a few things. Number one, I realized that I had to go on a liver transplant list to survive. So I went from a CEO with a seven figure income to being labeled alcoholic. And when you're labeled alcoholic, you're put on the end of the transplant list. So I needed someone to die for me to live. And so I had to go through that journey to find a suitable donor and negotiate transplant rules in the States. And the next thing the guy told me is I had, my life expectancy was most likely about six months. So the average wait time for a transplant was a year. So I didn't have enough time. And I had to get busy. So I spent the first 90 days trying to get into a transplant center, which was not easy to do. And I finally got into one and I was in Harvard in Boston. And they said I had about 90 days left to live. And about 60 days in, they asked me to leave the program. They accused me of drinking. They accused me of drinking while I was on the transplant list and I hadn't been drinking. And I said, I wasn't drinking. And I've been here playing full out. I want to win. I want to live. But they left. They made me leave the program. And I had to do something because I was going to die with that. I was unlikely to get a transplant with that on my record. So I actually went to a truce verification company in Jacksonville, Florida. And I took a lie detector test and they passed. They confirmed I was. There was no deception detected because I hadn't been drinking. I took those results to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, which is a transplant center. And they said, fantastic. We'll transplant you, but you've got to go to rehab. You know, the bad news was I had to spend most of the rest of my life in rehab, you know, a 30 day rehab program, which by the way, the textbook definition of rehab is to restore someone back to their original condition. But I know what that word means. They're like, well, that's kind of what got me into this trouble. But okay, I got to get a certificate and I go through the process. And that's where I kind of came up with my idea for my book because in rehab, they tell you, number one, that you're an addict. Number two, you have a disease. And number three, that there's no known cure. And I'm like, that's not very, very fun to think about. And their algorithm for, you know, for, for rehabilitating you, restoring you is to go to meetings every day for the rest of your life and identify as an addict. And I just didn't want to do that. If I got a chance to live, which was unlikely because it was getting late and I was getting very jaundice. My body was filling up with fluid. I wanted to recreate myself, which means to bring something new into existence that never existed before. So that word means like I wanted to be new and come back.  So I'm most likely going to die. I'm too safe to be operated on.   You know, I knew very soon that one day they would wake up and I would not. And there'd be no really good reason for that. And that was hard to do. And I say goodbye. It was just me and my mother waiting for a miracle because I was inoperable and they were playing with my sodium to try to get high enough for I'd survive surgery. And the weekend before I was, you know, doing a little bit better. And they said maybe this weekend and then a prisoner had died unexpectedly in Birmingham, Alabama. And he was an IV drug user and he was a prisoner, which meant he was high risk. And your high risk, you know, a high risk organ, a lot of the doctors don't want to use, you know, use the organ. It's higher risk. They pass on it. And it got all the way down from Birmingham, Alabama to Jacksonville. My understanding was several dozen people passed on that organ. If one person says yes, they die.  You know, we have a liver. It's high risk. He's a prisoner.   And I live. That was, that was it.  So I didn't have my business, who I thought I was going to be gone. And I was in Jacksonville. So I wanted to just kind of like, recreate myself and focus on that. And the first thing I did was I got busy with losing weight. I just started doing small, small things, a little bit at a time to lose weight. And as you know, if you stop drinking, right, and you work on yourself, getting healthy is a matter of momentum.  And, you know, that's when I came up with the idea, like, if I wanted to recreate myself, I kind of built a three step process to do that. And the first step was, you know, it was just simply deciding not to do certain things. Anymore, because that's what decisions means. You know, decisions, the word decision, the etymology of it, of course, is, D means away from, like a detour or a divorce, decision means to cut. So it's not about adding to your life, it's about cutting away. So I cut, you know, I cut lots of things. Covey says, if you want to change the fruit, you got to change the roots.  That's what the Greeks say, your mask, it's a Greek word for mask, it's the shell of who you think you are.  And, you know, then the places, like I moved, I moved to Jacksonville, I sold my company. I was no longer the CEO, I was this guy on a journey. And there was people that had to leave behind. So that was the first thing, that it was embedded in decisions. But the biggest decision was I decided to be some, but I decided not to be that person anymore, than the party guy that made a lot of money.  And I had a lot of fun to be around, but it wasn't, it wasn't anything to be proud of. I give myself that reputation, James, you know. You created that persona for yourself, right? Like you created that persona, the party guy with lots of money. And I can imagine that you probably got a lot of reinforcement, positive reinforcement from people that that was a cool persona to have. Like people, oh, everyone likes, likes Terence. He's the party guy, he's lots of money. He's probably like helpful and having a good time. You probably often got a smile on your face.  Right. Oh yeah. And it's, it's a lot of, there's a lot of that, you know, that reinforcement and you're always happy, because people are giving you attention, but it's not the right attention.  So I had to give myself a new reputation to live up to, which I got out of Carnegie's, How to Win Friends and Influenced Peoples, the chapter on page 240.  Like the dog's a good dog. Like they'll live up to being a good dog, you can tell them they're so. So I, I didn't want to be an addict, you know, with a disease that had no cure. So I wanted to be a superhero that was on a journey that had a purpose that made, that made a difference. And the first thing I had to do to get, get it right was install that narrative in my own mind of who I was. I was a fit person. I was a bestselling author. I spoke all over the world. I helped people recreate and transform themselves. I shared this idea. That was the narrative I installed. And that's ultimately the direction, at least directly on path of where I'm, where I'm going now. Yeah. It was a big, that was the biggest part of it. It doesn't sound sexy, but that was the biggest part to me. Like when I look in the mirror, I didn't see a Tommy boy in the Wolf of Wall Street anymore. I saw someone that did a good job and gave people hope, you know, hope to do this. And it was very rewarding to me. But so some people connected to the idea because, you know, addiction industry is a lot like the fat loss industry. The weight loss is a 97% failure business. It's high, not low.  And for all steps, they're just statistically a flawed process. So I offer, instead of rehabilitating yourself and putting yourself as an addict and, you know, claiming that there's no cure, which was invented, that there's no data that says that. There's a lot, you know, I don't identify as an alcoholic. I don't think about alcohol and I never do anymore. I just don't drink. And now you recreate yourself. It's like someone's trying to say, what is it like? I said, it's kind of like acupuncture is for like someone's got a bad back.  The chiropractors and the stretching and the heat pads. I said, try this. Like you got almost no downside to saying, I am better. I'm good. I can get this done. I can be better. I'm, you know, I have incredible potential. And that was the second step is installing that narrative. The last step was just a simple miracle of lining up your dominoes that I got from a book I read from Gary Keller. The one thing is a little domino can knock over a bigger domino.  So when you store a domino down, it stores energy and that energy is potential. And when you use your little finger and put just a little bit of energy behind it, it starts to move that action potential forward to create the domino effect, which as we all seen can go on forever. That two inch domino can knock over millions and millions of two inch dominoes. But what I saw in the book and I talked to about people is the two inch domino has greater action potential than two inches. It actually can knock over something 50% bigger. So if you lined up a three inch domino ahead of a two inch domino, it'll knock it over.  Those progressions never stop and they increase. That's a way to recreate yourself is to identify the greatest beneficial step forward each day. So one thing I do agree with Alcoholics Anonymous is each day at a time, but not the same way as yesterday. Always a little better, you know, harnessing potential and getting better, using books, using relationships, using physical, your physical body, using mentors like yourself and others that lead, you know. Those are the algorithms that excite me. So it's just three simple steps, you know. Yeah, amazing. It's a massive turnaround that you've had at the comeback. I was thinking as you were saying this, I'm like, what a comeback. It's amazing. It was a little wild about it was a week and a half after my transplant. Like I will govern Donald Trump with president.  That was sick in November of 2016. I wake up each president and the Patriots are in a Super Bowl. I'm from Boston.  And I'm looking at Brady.  And then that miracle comeback happens. Remember he came down from three touchdowns with like eight minutes left. It made me feel good. I was like, wow, that's what I want to do. I want to stun everybody. And it kind of, you know, once you have a little momentum and you're using it every day, you're getting feedback in a good way too. And you're becoming, you're having a reputation not only to yourself, but to others that you are going to be different. You're going to transform. You're not going to be the person that relapses.  You're going to be the person people come to and say, how do I do this? You help me. You need some help. And I'm happy to help people. Why do you think it takes a near death experience, like in your situation here, in order to make the decision to cut away and then to build the superhero persona? Why can't someone listening or watching us right now who isn't waiting on a liver transplant, who isn't rock bottom, who isn't like at their wit's end, but maybe they're just a societally acceptable drinker and they're meandering along in the drift.  Why can't we just make that decision and build the new persona in that situation? Yeah, I've talked to a lot of the, actually bought into addiction center after my journey. I thought that was going to be my path and the addiction industry didn't want my ideas and that's a long story for maybe another day, but I had a debate because one of the doctors was a very heavy doctor with a suboxone. The argument I had was he said, well, our patients don't die with addiction because a lot of the addiction was drugs and heroin. And I said, well, your patients also don't know they're alive. Like they're permanent drug users. You know, that's maybe just as bad as the other way. And he said, well, you had a near-death experience. You were scared straight. I said, that may very well be. I don't entirely know, but I remember the day that I had an opportunity to cut. That's why decisions is such a big point. I had to make that decision on that spot in that emergency room that day. Like I said, he's right. I'll never drink again, like ever. I'm not going to go into a program. I cut a cold turkey. I'm not going to go into a program. I'm not going to go to a rehab center. I'm just never going to drink again. And the following Monday or Tuesday I got to work. I never drank again. I drank every single day for 30 years. Never drank once, never drank since. I've eliminated it from my narrative. It's gone.  I say, well, I'm living proof because I'm fully ready to take another lie detector test. I'm going to go back to that facility because I know where it is. I want them to ask me because I go to bars all the time.  I could care less. I go to restaurants and bars. She is alcohol. I just enjoy her. And I enjoy being there and breathing, being attentive. I'm always the most alert person in the room. I just enjoy that persona. I like that new reputation I have. And so I, you know, I don't know for others, it's a, you know, you have to hit rock bottom to change. And I don't think that's the case at all. I think you can install simple decisions. You know, if you start with just people, that just aren't the right people to be in your life, there's always the ones that are sabotaged in any momentum. And there's certain places that aren't the places you should be. Right. And there's certain conversations you have with yourself that don't need to happen. If you can start being alert and aware, and your narrative is you're, you know, you want to recreate yourself, there's five things you can do.  You wouldn't believe what I've learned since. I mean, more than I learned by a mile in my first 47 years in last three. And then earning. You know, I put the pieces back together. My financial potential is 100x what it used to be. And, you know, and I have, I have a vision for what that life looks like, a lifestyle friendly business where I can enjoy myself healthy, happy and successful in that order. You mentioned before that the rehab business or addiction center business and AA has a 97% in many cases failure rate, which is very interesting. It's just as a little side note for that. When I have run Facebook ads promoting my quit alcohol programs, the people who send me hate messages, the people who, the people who are like the most horrendous, who send the most horrific comments, like like online haters, 90% of them identify as someone who's going to AA, which I find absolutely, well, I shouldn't say the word hilarious, but I just think it's fascinating that at AA, one of the, one of the things in the big book is, and we have stopped fighting anything or anyone. Yeah, right.  Go to AA, it's free.  I can't believe that you are doing the etc, etc. Anyway, that's a little side note. And I don't want this to be a complete AA bashing thing, but the statistics are very real that AA actually probably only has about a three, depending on what statistics you read, three to 7% success rate, which means it has a 97 or 93 to 97% failure rate. Right. And not many people are aware of that. And the same with rehab clinics. What's your understanding of that? What are your thoughts with that? Well, I mean, after, I bought a rehab center, right? It was like, it was, you know, I bought a rehab center to help people to share my idea, my modality of recreation and alternative algorithm.  There's two pieces of bread, a piece of cheese and some butter, and heat it twice, and you get a sandwich. You know, AA goes through the 12 steps and you won't drink anymore. Sounds great. I'd sign up for it. It doesn't work, ever. You're actually statistically more likely to get sober doing nothing. Like doing nothing going to no program than you are any other program right now because about 50% of people in a government study that we're problem drinkers that don't drink anymore, self-identified as just stopping. No program. Maybe by the encouragement of a spouse, by, you know, a church. And then some of them just stopped. Some of them just connected with something else. And I always said that.  It doesn't work for almost everybody. And it's not a predictable, but when someone called me and said, I want, it was our addiction center that I bought was a 12 steps program. And I had a very close friend of mine said, I'd like to send my husband to your addiction center. He's in serious trouble. And I said, not here. I wouldn't send him here. And that's when I knew I had to get out of the business. I just had to get out. So the, you know, the, it's just like, okay, that doesn't work. Then I looked at Suboxone. That doesn't work. I looked at, I traveled to 12 countries, you know, in Europe, you know, they treat it a lot differently. They give them like in the Iceland, they're Sweden, I think it is Iceland. I guess Iceland, they had a really bad situation. They didn't put them in prison. They gave them, they got them sober. They, they gave them books and they loaned them money to start companies and get back to work. They had, they had the money they used to spend incarcerating them and they educated them and helped them get jobs. They gave them dignity. You know, the reason I never went to alcoholics anonymous and believe me the way I drank him, you don't think someone's asked me to go to AA is like, I would never consider going to a place where I had to identify that, that way every day. And then not only that, I'd be in job interviews asking people to come work for me and they would tell me that they're an addict. They've been sober 12 years and 13 days and two hours. I was like, well, you, I hope you don't think that that added value to your resume during this interview because I was an employer. I said, it doesn't. It's not helpful.   You're the exception. It's not a scalable model. You do, you do marketing, right? It's not scalable. Like you and I could open up, you know, addiction centers all over the country and I'm good enough salesman to get people to go there. But I don't believe in the modality. I don't believe in the modality and I don't believe, and I know the algorithm doesn't work. So that doesn't work. I found one place that had a crazy, crazy success rate. All right. And I told you about this on the phone and it kind of freaked you out a little bit, I think. Like the, and I, and I learned about it in LA and I'm, and I'm at a, at a meeting and someone tells me about this program called Narcanon, the 80% supposed curate from addiction. And it was Narcanon's with the church of Scientology. So they have a program where, and I, and they invited me to their, to their program and I lay at a place called Celebrity Center. I walked in and he said, take a look at this program and it was nothing more than coming to a quiet place with where it's safe around supportive people, which is great about AA, getting healthy, eating healthy, vitamins, water, exercising, and books. That's the program. And people connect and they feel good about themselves. They create momentum. They knew, they get new knowledge. They have processes to activate it. You know, whether or not you agree with the, the, the, you know, the church of Scientology and how they do what they do. Their process, their statistical express rate is higher than most anybody, but their algorithm is very fundamental. Like that would logically be what, what you would do if I didn't know anything about it. Like I just got to get away. I got to cool off with some people that are cool. I got to put good stuff in my body and my brain. I'll come back. That's, that's, that's an algorithm that would excite me.  I heard your ad, I found you. Remember? I don't know if you know that. I was like, that guy, I would agree with. Like not a lot.  I know, I know that you're going to get a beating when you say some of that stuff. You're going to get, you're going to get some hate now because they have that confirmation bias. They have a very powerful belief that they have this condition that is an excuse for what they did. And they're in a part of a community that they named recovery, the recovery movement and like, that's a whole nother problem I had with that process is like recovery is a temporary thing. It's not a permanent place to post up.  I'm in ICU, recovering for a day or two, then I'm out. Then I re-entered the world and I came back.  You know, the definition of recovery, if they look at the word, it's, it's relief from the symptoms of something. That's what it is. It's, it's like a cured. But they've used it as the movement. And, you know, that was pretty popular in Hollywood. And it's a good thing in many ways. It's helped a lot of people. The community is a great thing. AA puts a, you know, unflexible canvas over that community. They don't let them get new ideas. Yeah. That wasn't for me. I'm cool with it. That wasn't for me. Yeah. I get a lot of people who come to me and wanting to enroll in one of my, my programs. And sometimes they'll use the word sober. Like they'll say, oh, I've been sober before or I'm two weeks sober at the moment. And I, I stopped them and I say, listen, just my own personal thing. I don't identify with the word sober. The phrase I use is alcohol-free and living the alcohol-free lifestyle. Sober implies that you were, that you are going back here. What's that? You're going to go back to it, right? Yeah, that's right.  Yeah. That's interesting. That's a word. Yeah. That's interesting. Yeah. And also that it also, for me, the word sober conjures up this idea that you're depriving yourself of something. That ordinarily, you might perceive to be something worthy of pursuit, that being this attractively packaged poison that we call alcohol. So sober to me implies, oh, okay. Under normal circumstances, I would choose to consume this attractively packaged poison. But for now, I'm sober. Whereas I look at it a completely different way and I'm like, no, there is no sober. There is no whatever. You just choose to be alcohol-free. You easily only drink water.  You live your life through that lens. There's nothing to deprive yourself of. And a lot of people who come in like, in the beginning of my 90-day program, they mistakenly think, oh, I've just got to get to 90 days. And then I'll be able to maybe celebrate with the occasional drink. And I always say to them, it's like, if this is not 90 days and you celebrate with a drink, this is a lifestyle. This is an ongoing way of seeing the world. Because when you feel like you're in a prison and you're depriving yourself of something fun and pleasurable, what do prisoners want to do? They want to break free, right? Prisoners want to break out of prison. They want to get free. And then so people are looking at alcohol as that's the freedom. Being able to enjoy a glass of wine or have a beer with friends or whatever. I'm like, no, the freedom is just being alcohol-free. And just choosing to live your life with good water and exercise and health and reading books, all the things that you just described and what it sounds like the Church of Scientology does in their program in terms of reading, read books, drink water, eat good food, surround yourself with good people, healthy and positive mindset. It was, it was, you know, you walk into the room there's 25 people reading a book. You know, this teacher's walking around and I'm just like, well, this is an interesting curriculum.  And I was like, this is really good. And I curated things through my journey. There are things I left behind. I didn't want to include in my life and my identity and there's things I grabbed. Books was a big part of it. You know, drinking a lot of water, eating food that was almost always alive recently and moving a lot. What does that remind me of? Okay, who used to move a lot, like 16 miles a day, eat food and forage food that was alive recently and be around a few supportive people. That's how we've evolved as human beings. That's a healthy evolutionary process. And I said, well, what if that's secured to addiction? Nobody gets rich on it. You know what I mean? There's no medication. There's no, you know, there's no mind-altering drugs. There's no labeling and stigmas. It's like, oh, I've just moved more. I eat really good and I'm with people that care about me and I care about them. There's my algorithm for getting healthy. It's so simple and yet we have to over-complicate it somehow. The human mind is like not satisfied with that. It's like they have to buy complex programs or drugs or go to a doctor and get a prescription.  That's it. And that's why people find each other when they really are looking for it.  So not only am I working on that identity, consciously, but my brain is deploying the reinforcements, the subconscious mind. And it's trying to activate things that are going to lean me towards healthy behaviors that will extend my life as a species, as part of the species.  Maybe you say, I'm an addict. I have a disease. There's no cure. Like the brain's going to subconsciously direct you to the meeting you've got to go to every day and talk the way you've been programmed to talk. And the words, you know, I read that. You know, I've been there. Like, you know, I read a book called 1984 where they start to like let you see some things, but not other things. They close off, you know, words and stuff like that. Like you would never be able to get healthy any other way, but this way, because it ruins their internal belief. And that organization is very protective of that. And I'm not involved in it. So it's not, you know, I'll have a dog in the fight. Like when people say, you, you're wrong. This is not for me. It worked for me. You can leave it or take it.  You can take a bite of it. You can always spit it out, but it doesn't work for you. You want to recreate yourself. And you want to make a bold statement like you're not an addict. In fact, you're going to be, you're going to run a marathon and date a Hollywood celebrity. Go for it. You know, because if you don't make it, at least you're living more healthy. You're trying to be that way. You're not going to have any downside. There's a lot of downside to calling yourself an addict. There's a lot of downside to, you know, only being around people within that mindset. There's a huge downside to that. There's no healthy, healthy ideas. I don't know. I just want, I want diversity in my, in my interactions with people. I love that, you know, I love that you're in Australia and you and I are connecting here. I'm in Miami, the sun's going down. Like it's, it's, it's cool. Yeah. Do you think it's fair to say, like you said that you built this superhero persona right after you had the, the liver transplant? Is it true to say that you actually were already living a superhero persona when you were the party guy and you were drinking and you were doing all that kind of stuff? It was just an unhealthy superhero. It was just, it was a, it was a persona and you were taking the right actions to live into that persona. It just wasn't a healthy one. And so you, in fact, in actual fact, you did exactly the same thing as what you were always doing. It's just you changed the persona. Is that, is that accurate? Well, I haven't heard that yet. You're the first person that kind of put that idea in my head. I was getting into some light while you're telling me. That's very interesting that maybe I'm, I have that, that subconscious, you know, I mean, maybe, maybe reputation is that important to me. Because I always, when someone says, what's the one thing I can do to be better, you know, and stop drinking or using drugs, it was like, what do you, what do you tell yourself you are? Like, tell yourself you're something that you dream of being. Maybe that's what happened. Maybe that's subconsciously, I had the right grounded ideas and I just installed a new, a new hardware program. Covey has that funeral exercise at the end of, end of the book, seven habits when you, you're going to a funeral and you walk up to the casket and everybody's very sad.  Right? And then, and you find out there's these speakers that are going to talk about this amazing person that's in the casket. It's your funeral, three years out, I think the exercise go.  This person loved like this. This person mattered to the world like this. Work backwards from that, I always say, work backwards from amazing.  That's directionally on a course to where you want to go. Joe Polish speaks about that. He actually just sent me a book, Life Gives to the Giver and on page 39, the chapter is, you are a million dollar racehorse and he says in this, that he interviewed someone years ago who wrote a book called Working Solo and during the interview, the author spoke about the million dollar racehorse ID and that is, think of yourself as a million dollar racehorse. If you owned a million dollar racehorse, how would you treat it? You wouldn't shove fast food down its throat. You wouldn't cause it to have sleep deprivation. You would make sure it gets the best trainers, the best tracks and the best everything. You would take care of that million dollar racehorse because it needs to win races to make your money. So you are that million dollar racehorse. If you treat yourself any other way, you are likely messing yourself up. Part of this is about how you physically take care of yourself.   So, man, that's a good, I never heard that. I foul, he, you know, he has a, I believe he's in recovery if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, he's someone who drank a lot and now is not drinking. Yeah. And that's interesting because it isn't, that's who you say, you know, I'm a racehorse. Like I'm a million dollar racehorse. How does the million dollar racehorse get treated? Like I get treated like gold, they treat themselves. You know, alcohol is the enemy of success. I don't know one person. I'm a CEO all over the world now. I know a lot of them there. I don't know one that drank like I did that sustained success and happiness. Not one. It just doesn't ever happen. Never coexist with the greats. And if you want to work backwards from amazing, modeling is part of that amazing. You want to model, you know, life is close to somebody.  They're going to have great friends. They're going to give, they're going to be in, in shape typically. Those are, you know, that's a more dignified path you know. And then lastly, you know, you got to understand when I was saved by that liver, someone died. And then the fact that I got that guy's liver, someone else died waiting because there's not enough livers in the states, like people die waiting. So it could have just as easily gone to someone else and I could be dead. So my, you know, my, my belief is that needs to be honored. It needs to be purposeful. It needs to be revered and treated well. So that particular idea in my head every time I take that little pill every day that prevents my liver from rejecting, I remember the man that died for me to get it and the guy who probably died or the woman that died waiting. I didn't get one. Powerful. No place for alcohol in that, in that relationship, but that, that superhero just, it's just be dishonorable. Powerful stuff. Yeah. Terrence, thank you so much for sharing your words of expertise and your guidance. I would just like to ask you just to maybe in conc, to just wrap this up. We've talked about cutting away. We've talked about building a superhero persona. We've talked about, you know, statistically speaking, what doesn't work. Excuse me. So the listener or the viewer right now who's, who may be feeling challenged with their drinking or I might feel challenged with drugs. I might feel challenged with relationships. It could be anything. It could be like a shopping addiction or spending addiction or porn or anything. Do you want to just sum up for us maybe the, the crutch of your, of your book and, you know, the steps again as to how to get out of that misery and into a more powerful way of living. Yeah. It all comes, it all comes down through, you know, when I was building the program it was, that I was installed at my addiction center. I have it built. It's in my book. It's called R Factor Four. And R Factor Four is four hours and the first hour is recovering and recovering is healing.  So you got to step away and heal and that's disconnecting. And, and then the second one is reconnecting. Okay. And reconnecting is, is falling in love with something else again. Connecting to something is the opposite of addiction as Johan Harry said in his famous TED talk is not sobriety. It's not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. The loss of connection causes addiction. So you need to install new connections while you're healing because there's a big void as you know when someone stops drinking. A lot of their person is gone. A lot of the people are gone. A lot of the time is gone. And water takes over. Like water will seep into there. You got to fill that instantly. You can't just put nothing in there because something useless will go in there. You got to be a very purposeful reconnection process by a lot of people connect with AA. They go there because they have to and it's something to do with the time that they used to spend drinking. So reconnecting to something. I connected with books, yoga, riding my bike, hanging out with people, you know, started a podcast. So I got real busy. And you know, the next part is recreating your entry.   In your mind's eye have a picture that you look like. And then finally, reentering which is action. You're going to come in with a plan because one thing I hated about addiction is once you went to an addiction center which was basically a glorified 12 steps program that you paid 40 grand a month. You know, like driving a brand new car for Cliff because you know, it doesn't work. And you leave with nothing. There's no plan in place, no solid action plan. So what what my book does is it's a 12 week process to recreate yourself.  Bringing your dream team together. You know, finding your purpose. Like these are there's 12 exercises in there that you do over the course of 12 weeks for the R Factor 4. I'm writing a new book. It's not, you know, I'm writing two books right now. It's going to be called recreating one's self. Praying body and business. All right. So so that you can be healthy, happy and successful. Health is so important. Mental health, physical health, relationship health. If you have the right business plan, you can become that person that has that beautiful life. Money has very little bit to do with it. It funds it at some level, but it's not only money. You can check out Terrence's book. It's called superhero self. How to recover from anything and recreate yourself a 12 week plan for personal transformation. Thanks, James. I mean, I have my book on sale at Amazon. It's called superhero self. How to recover from anything and recreate yourself a 12 week plan for personal transformation. It's on Amazon, but it's also downloadable free on my website, Terrence McMahon.com T E R R A N C E M C M A H O N .com and you can follow me on Instagram at Terrence.mcman and you have questions, send me a message. Happy to interact and share your ideas. This is a free idea for the world. I'm very little interested in making a living doing this, but I think it's something that people should hear about.


oh god he found out my secret he found out that's not down heavy oh you know I got that internet keke genkai baby just caught oh this guy's definitely leaving I would leave how's it going everybody dato doi here with another round of dragon ball fighters ranked matches and oh wait the monster supposed to be in front let me just change that here hey guy think that works I think that's how you do that anyway we're running a Goku black arc themed team I know it's weird because Goku Black's not here technically you know he's here in spirit he's part of Zamasu but yeah we're pretty high up in the ranks in terms of being high up in Super Saiyan God anyway and I definitely messed that up so we are screwed the sad thing is like Goku Zamasu and Vegeta do have some nice things they can do together but personally I prefer to run each of these boys on point so you know it's it's gonna be a real tough time for me oh I fell right into the Android 16 heavy could it be that I'm already looking really nice at this game all right so operation one is going to be the down tech here oh yeah we got tricks yeah in a way this is kind of what I wanted beautiful reflecting the heavy got to watch out for that with 16 that move has some armor on it so even if I would have hit him it would not have been the best for me no reflect but that's fine we could just ah there's no option I had I had no other option I don't think we're living this unless he drops it now we did we did AF okay so this is fine you know Trunks and Zamasu they get along pretty well in terms of character so we're just gonna see what we can do and 16 is not at all that was beautiful well timed and well hidden not only could I have not have reacted to that I barely saw the thing wow he just clicks a button okay we're dealing with a rambunctious type he's a not one for safety yeah but now we got your number oh wait we need to get Trunks in here fast alright Trunks slide in there we go you like safety huh guess what man I

my boy at this point it's entirely up to you everybody else has failed me miserably oh we get there was ankle yeah uppercut we hey Trunks go ahead do me a favor turn around next time we're behind the back oh speed if you ain't seen I definitely try to move forward there my fault my fault game one game one goes to him pretty stressful game one not gonna lie my thumb is out here taking a beating from uh not holding back all right but we're going straight back into it Vegeta is still out front always a great sight to see what was that so many overheads we are now out here courtesy of Vegeta no vanish okay I don't want to put on too much pressure too early there we go all right we're just gonna go into a auto combo here and then into this this should set us up nicely for the up tech no he didn't up tech didn't go up that's fine I'll take that no no no you just a masu that was supposed to be a super dash oh that first key blast was fine dashing into the super dash was not alright so Goku's gonna come out put on a little bit of pressure not too much I don't think we saw Goku at all last time so let's see if we can't beat a super dad well that's not what this kind of super dash I was looking for personally the strength on this man not the super dash oh man okay can't kill no wait can go on extensions wait maybe can't I think you know was it obvious it was a little obvious

one wow okay just to two guys with a love for projectiles here back dash on that that was supposed to bait out the super dash and we did we almost baited it oh yes I'll take that got a okay alright that's a that's a chunk bro oh there we go that's gonna be it from us to him flip all wrong button where's the change no change kill nice good job trunk okay I have a hunch that it's about to be 1-1 I have just a strong hunch where's the super dash there we go Vigito help us out okay try to get into that left corner there all right we're gonna buy as much time as we can and Vigito is perfect for that watch this let's just keep all that time off the clock baby oh no you did not just try to do that and boom that's gonna be it all right we bought so much time off the clock there those are the cheap Vigito strats you love to see alright one one one one and I haven't been playing too clean so let's try to uh let's try to clean up the play a little bit huh I think it's starting with Vigito that's this is not the ideal is not the ideal team there we go that's that's carry that's all the way to the corner baby I don't remember the extension of that and that's gonna get me killed well that's just killing me on the inside he my opponent is killing me on the outside well enough come on show me the super dash show it to me oh I was gonna down heavy that that would say oh I try to jump away fear factor okay that's good enough I guess and beam punish I'll take it not the worst thing that could happen to me oh god him again we got those bro it is not safe to drag and rush against me oh bad vanish you know what I'll take it no down heavy comes out wow I saw that one coming to again the down heavy didn't get him God I gotta stop doing for that especially with some mossy it's just a weird man down tech freebie oh okay I'll take that I'll take that okay can we maybe do this nah that didn't work alright I was getting a little freestyle with it I wanted the Vegeta assist Vigito assist to hit okay I could have gotten something way sicker huh that's fine that's still our advantage block it get that out of here you know I see that coming huh huh that's a bad move switch come at me how to keep it safe I appreciate it I can appreciate it as a competitor mmm I waited too long oh god oh scared scared fear and give me that back okay oh no no no where's the down heavy I escaped on I went for the beam I thought he was gonna keep backing up trunks is in a pickle come on get out of their trunks get out of the boy I need you okay we're good we're good oh I got the range this sword I keep on my back is not just for show I mean it kind of is but damn it I was hoping he'd live so I could switch in Zamasu for free that would have been sick okay uh should we just level one and two Zamasu for free yeah whatever let's keep it safe oh that's not even for free yo let's just get as much damage as we can that I'm most killed and you know what I feel like killing I feel like killing I said I feel like killing you're gonna have to come in on me eventually nope that's super dash irresistible come on I hate zoners but let's get it oh god he found out my secret he found out that's not down heavy oh you know I got that internet keke genkai baby just caught oh this guy's definitely leaving I would leave is he okay I thought he was rage-quitting I wouldn't have blamed it honestly that one would have gotten away for free I hate zoners I hate zoners guys don't judge oh he punched me in my zoning face oh he dragon rushed me in my zoning face too I agree super saying three no super saying three oh that caught him to that was cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap but you know what else is cheap instant spirit sword into the fire burning attack who almost lost my anime card for a second there if I didn't remember trunks is level one I was done for you would have never seen me in these YouTube streets again that's for sure all right let's see if he plays another match I wouldn't be super oh he does okay this is a true competitor here boys he's seen the cheap stuff and he's walked this road before oh god I'm leaving after that hit me oh no my shields are up but my confidence is at an all-time low oh never mind we got these can somebody please in the comments let me know what the thing is there I completely forgot this is oh it's the kick damn it oh we are just nickel and dime a little bit of a drop but you know that's on purpose baby it's all for the YouTube it's all for the show of it honestly dropping combos that's my thing watch this okay that's fine beautiful conversion there that's not the right one shields up oh god that's a reflect just put the damn shields up okay oh he gets out of there as soon as he can oh spirits or it does take a while to recover from a vegeto player I am not okay he doesn't like that get him in the corner okay he doesn't like that either oh he switches out that was a great call by him gets him out of the blue health is he gonna get a level one off that he is but Goku does have to come back so you know what you'll take what you can get honestly this is gonna be a rough one I can just feel it all right let's bait some super dashes I don't even think about sneaking up on me oh god he's stuck up on me great stuff hey you guys want to see some sparking trunk stuff come on you need to block one of my hits so I can actually do the sparking trunk stuff how did he block that he just reflected it too great down heavy by my opponent there it is he's expecting that wow wow I can't believe he blocked that oh come on dude mmm yeah we saw that coming all right this is going to be if we play our cards right they should be death from what I'm seeing hold on let that hit convert into a level three for maximum damage

When the first space rocket lands on Mars, what will we find? Will we be welcomed with open arms or will the Martians treat us as invaders? Only one thing is certain. Some day a giant metal ship will take off from Earth to travel through the black velocities, the silent gulfs of space, to descend at last into the darkness of the upper Martian atmospheres and on that day man will finally know the answers. The day we first land on Mars. Hear this. Now hear this. Approaching critical deceleration. Fastened gravity suits. Stand by to land. Mr. Lustig, what do you make of the terrain? There seems to be a heavy ground, Miss Captain. We won't be able to use our infrared lights. And we'll have to come in on radar. Isn't that a little risky, sir? Landing in the dark? I'd rather run the danger of a blind landing lieutenant than come in without the cover of darkness. Remember, we don't know what kind of reception is waiting for us down there. Yes, speed 500. Altitude now 4,000. Bridge to engine room. Stand by for deceleration. Engine room, aye. Fire forward tubes 1 and 3. Aye. Skid's down. Skid's checked. Altitude 500. 4, 350, 3. Hop a point now. All right. Let's set her down. Look out! Cut the power. Masters pipe battle stations. Aye, sir. I'll secure it, sir. Well, they're on Mars, April 20th, 1987. 433, Granny's time. Enter that in the log, Masters. Aye, sir. Well, gentlemen, it's less than two hours till dawn. As soon as it's light, we'll send out a landing party. Masters, get me an all-over hookup. All set, Captain. Now hear this. Now hear this. All right, men, the smoking lamp is lit. We're 17 men on an alien world. And it's up to us whether we ever get home again. The next few hours should tell the story. And I want instant obedience to all commands. I'll court, Marshal, the first man who doesn't jump to when he's ordered. And one other thing. We may be on Mars, but this is still the United States naval vessel. Officers will conduct a personal and weapons inspection in one hour. That's all. Inspection, Captain. Now? Mr. Lustig, we've got an hour and a half to sweat out before we find out what's outside that airlock. And rather have a man worried about his stripes, about what's waiting outside on Mars. With this landing party report to forward airlock, Captain Black, Lieutenant Hinkston, Lieutenant Lustig, and Dr. Horst report immediately to forward airlock. It is now landing time minus five. Sounds like they're paging us, Hinkston. You ready, Dr. Horst? Yes. Ready as I'll ever be. Come on. Let's report to the airlock. Where is the go? Where's the captain? Who knows? What difference does it make? Just want to get it over with. That's all. Is anybody got a cigarette? I think you're smoking too much, Lieutenant Lustig. Are you nervous, Leo Horst? Wondering what's hidden outside underneath that ground mist? Very unusual planet, Mars. Why? It has an atmosphere. Wonderful thing, an atmosphere. Where you find one, you find life. You mean Martians? What do you think they'll look like? Who knows? Intelligent life can take many forms. You mean they may have green skins and eyes on stalks or something? A comic book conception is possible. All they may have developed are a point that is far beyond us. Perhaps they have a science that can produce weapons far more dangerous than our atomic missiles. You think we may have to fight our way out? After all, we are invaders. Now hear this landing time minus two. Landing time minus two. All right, all right. We heard this. I know what I'd like to find outside that airlock. Good old Illinois. Ever been there, Lustig? Only in Chicago. Well, you ought to see my hometown.  Sounds like my hometown. My grandmother used to have one of those iron deers on the lawn. Every Halloween, we'd paint another color.  Where does your family live, Horst? I have no family. When I was a child, they were gassed to death in the Dachau concentration camp. That's tough. Oh, it has its advantages. I have no ties on earth, nothing to lose now. I imagine I'm the only one on board who is free to enjoy our present peculiar position. All right, Lustig. You can button it up now. Aye, sir. Now, gentlemen, in one minute, we'll be the first men to set foot on Mars. Quite an honor, eh? As long as the medals are not awarded posthumously. Still uneasy, Dr. Horst? Captain Black, I've been uneasy ever since I can remember. On earth and on Mars. Well, 30 seconds. Give me the intercom phone, Lustig. Masters. Aye, sir. Battle stations will be manned till we return. If we're not back in two hours, I want no rescue party sent out.  Aye, sir. All right, gentlemen. Five seconds. Four, three, two, one. Lustig, open the outer airlock. Fresh air. Let's go. Hold it now. It's too dark to move fast. Quiet, isn't it? Not even a wind. You can't see anything through this ground mist. Quiet. You don't know what's out here. Come on. What the- Quiet, Captain! I could swear that sound like a rooster. I don't hear it anymore. A very unlikely sound. A rooster crowing on Mars. Singston. Aye, sir. Set that machine gun 25 yards to the flank. We'll stay here till the ground mist lifts. Aye, aye, sir. What do you make of the ground, Horst? Grass. Plain grass. You could see some large foliage. There were the mists then down here. Singston!  Some kind of wild animal I hid it. I could see the tracers, but it's still standing. Come on, Horst. Doctor. Doctor, where are you? Up ahead. Admiring the wild animal. Careful, Horst. Wait for us. Come on, Captain. It's an iron deer. A lawn ornament. That's impossible. It's hollow. Interesting, isn't it? A whitewashed Victorian iron deer. Sitting on a lawn in the middle of Mars. I don't understand. Look around. The mists lifting. Captain, look there. A house, a regular old-fashioned house. I'm Mars. Good Lord. I haven't seen carved scrolls and gingerbread like that in years. Look at that port swing. The geraniums. I told you it was a rooster, Captain. Give me the glasses, Lustig. I want to take a look through that front window. What? There's an upright piano. Some sheet music on it. Lustig, it's beautiful Ohio. Beautiful Ohio? That can't be. Look here, Horst. Do you think that civilizations of two planets could be identical? I don't know. That specific variety of geraniums is only 50 years old on Earth. Is it logical they should develop in Mars? How about that port swing, that piano, and beautiful Ohio? No, it's impossible, Captain Black. This looks like the town I was born in. Well, it looks like my hometown, too. I've thought of something, sir. It's the only solution. Maybe we're not the first ship to reach Mars from Earth. That's the only answer. That's impossible, Lustig. There've been space travel that couldn't be secret. Do you have any idea what ships cost, what industrial power is needed? There's got to be some logical reason. Captain, I think perhaps we might find out. The light just went on in that house. Kingston, cover that door with a machine gun. Aye, aye, sir. Come on, Horst. You ring that doorbell. There's got to be a scientific answer to all of this. There's something moving in there. Stand back, Horst. Give me a clear shot. Maybe a martian. A view? We were looking... Well, if you're selling anything, it's much too early. No, no, wait, wait a minute. What, uh... What town is it? What do you mean? Are you sent to stay here? No, we're strangers here. We want to know how this town got here. Is this a game? No, no, it's not a game. We're from Earth. From where? From Earth. Do you mean out of the ground? Are you sure you're feeling well? Madam, we came in a flying ship across space. We're from the third planet. This is Mars. Now do you understand? Mars.  I'll call my husband from upstairs and he'll chase you now. Go on. But this is Mars, isn't it? This is Green Lake, Wisconsin, in the United States of America. Bounded on the east by the Atlantic and on the west by the Pacific. No, no, no. Go away. Goodbye. Of course, do you suppose it's really possible? I've got to find out more about this. For the last time, now go away. Pardon me, madam. What year is this? Year? Well, 1928, of course. Who's that gonna say? You hear that, Horst? And we know it's 1987. And we know it's Mars. Is it possible that we got fouled up, made some tremendous blunder and circled around and landed back on Earth? In 1928? Maybe some switch in time, or dimension. Could we have shifted somehow and gone backward in time? Horst, it won't hold water. It's not logical. We've checked every mile. We went past the moon and out into space. We're on Mars. Find out anything, Captain? No, we're going back to the ship till I figure out some logical explanation for all this. Lustig, out at point. Aye, sir. Hinkston in the rear. Keep that gun at half-life. Horst, there's got to be some cold, logical solution. Yep. What? That house down the street. The white one with the green shutters. Lustig, what's the matter? I never thought. I never thought. Thank God. Thank God. Lustig, Lustig, come back here. He's running for that house.  Lustig, stop. Come down off of that port. Grandma and Grandpa, it is you. Lustig, what's going on here?  Well, it's been so many years. How are you grown, boy? Oh, it's so good to see you. Lieutenant Lustig. Oh, oh, Captain. Grandma, I want you to meet my friend. This is Captain Black. Captain, I want you to meet my grand folks. Howdy. Any friends of Albert? He's a friend of ours. How long you been here, Grandma? Oh, good many years. Ever since we died. Ever since you what? Oh, yes, sir. They've been dead 30 years. What? You mean to tell me that Mars is heaven? Oh, nonsense. No. All we know is here we're alive again. And who are we to question God's infinite ways? Hi. Lustig, we're going back to the ship. But, Captain, I want to talk to my grand folks. Lieutenant Lustig, I don't like any part of this. You'll come back with us. I have to club you and carry you. But, sir, they're my... Heaven only knows what they've run up against back of the ship. Dimansion X will continue in just a moment. Well, now let's come back to Earth for a moment. And what's more appropriate than Wheaties and baseball? You'll see what I mean as I introduce Ed Prentice, who has a special treat for you. Carry on, Mr. Prentice. Folks, I'd like to have you meet a good friend of mine and a prominent member of a fine little organization known as the Chicago White Dot. Mr. Lucius Benjamin-Atlant. Ed, don't say it like that. Whoever heard of a ball player named Lucius. What if I went around and called you Paul Edward Prentice? Let's just make it Ed and Luke, huh? All right, Luke. They just how long have you been with the White Dot? Over 20 years, Ed. About 2,500 games. Then it bat almost 9,000 times, man. I'm from way back. Well, Luke, you don't look it. How do you keep up the pace anyway? Well, Ed, I sleep good. I eat good.  Wheaties about four mornings a week. Those little old flakes put a lot of snappy even in an old time like me. Must be because they're 100% whole wheat. I sure like wheaties and milk and fruit. You know, Luke, that's exactly what I hear from a lot of ball players and plenty of other people, too. The breakfast of champions. Well, thanks, Luke Appling and Ed Prentice. You know, folks, you may not be a champion ball player, but wheaties can help you feel like one. So try them. Wheaties, that is. See how Wheaties at 7 can help at 11. Horst, look at that crowd around the ship. Looks like they're being welcomed with a celebration. Celebration? They've abandoned ship. Every port is open. No guard said, you, you, masters. Hi, you captain. Meet my old dad, dad. That's Captain Black. And he's not a bad guy for an officer. Of all the... Hinkston! What, sir? Bring that man back. Use force if you have to. Excuse me, sir. There's my Uncle George. Hinkston! I'll be right back, Captain. Uncle George! Uncle George! What the devil is going on? Don't you understand, sir? They've all found friends and relatives. They're all here. He's right, Captain. I've counted. The whole crew's out on the crop. But I gave orders. Definite orders. I don't understand, Captain. I understand mutiny. I don't care how many relatives show up. I'll have discipline on. Johnny! Johnny, you old son of a gun. Edward! Edward! It's you. It can't be. Of course it is. Johnny, you old son of a gun. Ed. Edward. Dr. Horst. This is my brother, Edward. How do you do? Hello! It's wonderful to see you, Edward. Look, I've got to get back to my ship. Hey, hey, I almost forgot. Mom's waiting at home. Mom. And Dad, too. Mom. Dad are alive? Excuse me, Horst. Then you're real, Ed. Don't I feel real? How's that, huh? Ed. Ed, we've got lunch for you, Johnny. Mom's making corn fritters. Corn fritters? Dr. Horst, haven't you found anybody? No, Captain. I have nobody. Then you come on home with me, right, Ed? Sure you bet. Horst, you wouldn't believe it, but it's been 35 years since I had Mom's corn fritters. By George. 35 years. And there's plenty more in the kitchen, so don't hold back, Johnny. You too, Dr. Horst.  That's right, Dad. I'm in command of the ship. And we're an old Navy family, Dr. Horst. All three of our boys in the service. Ed was the best pilot in the Pacific. What didn't happen, Ed? Oh, what's the difference? I'm here now. Oh, you know, it's almost perfect. All we're missing is your brother Will. Then the whole family could be together. Well, won't be long, Mom. Will's in charge of the XR-54. That's the next rocket coming out to Mars. Well, little Will. When does he leave, Johnny? Takeoff scheduled for September, but it depends on what we report. Well, there's no question about that now. Christmas together again. That'll be something, huh? Yes, sir. Well, this calls for celebration. How about a little of the old dandelion wine, huh, Johnny? Now, Father, don't you go giving Johnny too much wine.  Well, sir, isn't everything just fine? Just fine. Well, Dr. Horst, what do you think of my little family? Very nice. You know, I can't understand why you didn't find any folks here, Dr. Horst.  I never remembered my family, Mrs. Black. All I know is they were gassed at Dachau during the Second World War. When I was liberated, I was a delirium in three months. I cannot remember anything before then. The psychiatric phenomenon. That's terrible. Isn't there anything anybody can do? I don't want to remember. I prefer to be free of emotional entanglements than to fear with a scientific approach. I'm sorry, Dr. Horst. I'm in three shorts. I remember that. Well, maybe we'd better call it a night. You must be getting tired, Johnny. I'd better be going back to the ship. Oh, nonsense. You stay the night. We insist. I just couldn't rest thinking of you all alone on that ship. I'd be all right. Well, good night. Wait a minute, Dr. Horst. That phone message was for you. That's right. A message from Anna. Anna? I don't remember any Anna. She asked if you were better. Perhaps she's someone you knew at Dachau. She said she's coming over here first thing in the morning. So you'll have to stay over. Well, that settles it then. You stay here, Horst. You can bunk with me in my old room. Oh, but Johnny, we thought you'd like to be with Edward. So you could talk the way you used to. Well, we can't put Dr. Horst on the daybed. I think we'd better share the room tonight. There'll be plenty of time for talking, Ed. I guess so. Well, I suppose I'd better drop back to the ship. You know Ed, security check. Why do you have to do that here? Well, I don't know. There's no good reason, I guess. Well, I suppose we skip it tonight. Oh, sure. Good night, everybody. Oh, it's good to have you home, Johnny. It's good to be home, Mom. Captain Black, are you asleep? No, no. I just been thinking about what we were expecting. Green-skinned Martians with eyes on the stalks. All the time there was only Mom and Dad and Edward waiting. Oh, it's funny what tricks your imagination can play on you. Yeah, I guess Mars is heaven, Horst. Hmm, I've been thinking about Martians, too. Captain, just suppose suppose there were Martians and they saw us land. Suppose they thought of us as invaders. What would be the best weapon they could use against our atom bombs? I don't see what you're getting at. They would want to disarm us first. To wipe out all suspicion. To make us feel at home. But suppose this house isn't real.  That's the craziest theory I ever heard. Maybe that's why there was no one for me. Because in all my life there is no happy memory, no real loved person. How about that phone call from Anna? Yes, Anna. I don't remember who she was, but I don't know. I just remembered. When I was freed from Dachau, sick and delirious, I prayed about a wonderful kind nurse named Anna that took care of me. Sure you are. It's logical. She's coming to see you tomorrow. But there was no Anna. I'd be nursed by a man. What? Anna. There's only a dream. And there's only one way they could have learned about her. By reading my subconscious mind. But that's impossible. Why? The whole crew was thinking of home. Suppose the Martians read our minds. But if there are Martians... If there are, they have a separated. Each man in a different house. Sleeping. Trusting. No one at the guns. Look, my pistol now is there. Do you... Do you think there's something to this horse? It's a... Who would suspect his own mother? His grandparents. How easy. Just a knife in the heart of each sleeping man. It's impossible, harassment. We've got to get back to the ship. Listen. The crickets are stopped. They know when they change back to them. Whatever they really are. Where are you going, John? Ed... Well, we... We wanted to drink a water. That's all, Ed. You're not thirsty, John. You don't want a drink. You don't want a drink. Look out! His face! It's changing! And his hands! He's a Martian! Run, horse! Run! You can't get away, John! You can't get away! It's black. The XR-53 calling from Mars. I've locked myself in the ship, but they've crippled it. I can't take off or fire the guns, and they're coming for me now, the Martians. I'm all alone here. All the rest are dead. Hankston, Lustig, Dr. Horse. Four horse, they didn't even reach the door. Listen. Listen. They're trying to break through the hall now. Edward and Mom and Dad and all the folks. But they're changing now. Melting and changing back into their Martians. Can you understand me? Martians, not men. They made us think that Mars was heaven. We fell into the trap. Can you hear me, Earth? You've got to stop the next rocket. Tell my brother will. Tell my brother will not to come. They'll trap him, too.

In today's video, we're opening an entire play set of 2012 Prophecy Destroyer Tins. What's up guys, we are back with another tin opening. As I said, we have a play set of tins. Ever heard of that terminology? Not cards, a play set of seal tins. Which means we have three tins to open up today which is gonna be super fun. Inside of these packs, there's some old school like Xexl era packs. I think Xexl right now in 5Ds. Yeah, it's Photon Shockwave, Order of Chaos, good stuff like that. So I'm really excited to open these up. But first, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away one of these promo packs inside of one of these tins. All you have to do is like the video, be subscribed to our notifications. Let me know down below. Your favorite card we pull? Hopefully that's a ghost or could be an ultimate rare or maybe neither. But let's not put that bad juju on ourselves.  Let's start with tin numero uno, Prophecy Destroyer. Let's get a good look at it. Here we go, Prophecy Destroyer, a pretty amazing looking tin. Honestly, it's really cool how it comes out of the tin. You can tell it's like kind of textured there where the actual Prophecy Destroyer is kind of like in the foreground and the background is like dark gray. It's pretty cool. Then on the back, you can see that we have collectible tin 2012, one Photon Shockwave booster pack, two Order of Chaos booster packs, two Galactic Overload booster packs, one Secret Rare Prophecy Destroyer card, and four Super Rare cards, Infernity Barrier, Steelstorm Roach, Inlass Decay, and Photon Strike Bounds or Bounds are a pretty good card. All right, that's some good stuff. We are opening three of these today so that you don't have a two minute video and also so that we can pull even more awesome stuff. So here we go. Let's see what we got. We have a little... I have not watched Xexo, so I don't really know. Whatever those people's name is. A little, little, little Xex and then all. Very cool. That'd be hilarious if that was their actual name. On slot of the Fire Kings, we got that structure deck coming out soon, Cosmo Blazer, Legendary Clash in Yugi's World. That shows you how old that set is, which is crazy. Look at those sleeves too. Whoa, check those out. Those are sick. Anybody got those in the comments? You have these sleeves, let me know. That's pretty sick. Wow, 2013 World Championships, Dragon Duel invite only. People playing in Dragon Duel 2013, now they're like full grown people. It's crazy. They're gonna like 25 now. Okay, let's see. We have our promo pack. Here's the one we can do for the giveaway right here. Prophecy Destroyer, very nice. I mean, there's four more cards in there as well. A little warped going on there, but that tends to happen sometimes in these tins. Tins to happen, see what I did there? Okay, after that cringe, we can continue to move on. Okay, let's see. Looking like any first eds, I don't think so. It's normally not first eds in these, but you can always hold out hope. I'm gonna start with Order of Chaos. I have never pulled this number 41, C41, Utopia Ray Victory, maybe, something like that? Or is it Utopia? No, Utopia Ray, not victory, no victory. No Levison. All right, so this would be an epic ghost art because I've never pulled it before. We have Injector Ant, Ruxen Special. We have literally the first card. I got a Ruxen Special. Seize Burst, we have Armor and N'Jitsu Art of Freezing. I think the Xeze, some of those like really expensive ones right now are in this set. Sweet Corn, we have a Galaxy Wave, and I mean like the spell cards that say Xeze. Not actual Xeze monsters. We have Ceiling Ceremony, Reverse Buster, no guaranteed foils in these, and Upstart Gold and Ninja. So yes, no guaranteed foils. Hope you guys are enjoying the video, and I wanted to let you guys know that we have a new box break available. Let's see if we can get a glare there. Yeah, Feronic Guardian First Edition, available on ruxen34.com. We have sold over half the packs, but we are looking to do this box break very soon. So if you're interested, go check out ruxen34.com. If you are a special footage member or hire, you can get $10 off per pack. You can buy as many packs as you want. I think there's about 17 left. So go check it out right now if you want to be a part of the live stream, the video that'll come out later, and we'll have more in the future. So keep an eye out for more box breaks. Let's do one galactic overlord next and see if we can pull something epic. A ghost jar out of here. Have I pulled the, I don't think I've pulled the Neo Galaxy Ice Coats on Dragon before. So that would be a pretty epic one as well. Do three from the back like that. Let's see, we have Shadowtail Butter Spy, Gamashara, Hierotic Dragon Asu, Blade Bouncer, Storm, Injector Firefly, Butterfly Yoke. We have Hierotic Seal of Convocation. Wait, we have two cards next or is there just one more? Hierotic Seal of the Dragon King. Hierotics, a lot of them in this set, but yet no foil in that pack. We'll save photos on Shockwave for the end. Let's go back to Order of Chaos. The number C41 is what we're looking for. There's also some, there's some pretty decent cards on Order of Chaos. It's not an amazing set now, but there are a couple of expensive cards still in the set. Shock to Push, gotta love that. We have Galaxy Wave, Windup Honey Bee, Starlight, Starbright, First Star, you see, will be the ghost rare tonight. Here we go. Oh, our first foil, Windup Rat. The windups were pretty popular back then I think. I think the deck was actually pretty decent. Windup Rat, pretty sick. I like it. Good stuff, that's way to start. It's just a super.  Really easy until before we get these Ultimates and Ghosts. Don't forget we have two more tins, so there's more potential in these packs or at least these other tins to have packs that will have something. I think three from the back was the right pack trick, at least for that one. Bouncer Guard, let's go. We have Influence Dragon. He's an influencer. We have Hierotic Dragon, Blade Bouncer, Flame Tire. This is an old school Duel Links special. I remember this one. We have Moonlit Papillon, XC's Wrath, and no, I can't go full video without mentioning Duel Links. I know, I know. We have a Dimension Slice and, oh, falling current.  I feel like that's like in every like, you know, what's the word?  It's like a very normal word. It's not like that out there. I don't know, I've lost it. Okay, last pack, Photon Shockwave. Let's see if we can get that Ghost Rare. I'm still waiting to pull this.  We pulled it before, but it was not in a pack. All right, Rabbit Dragon, Cross Attack, Laval Lance Lord, we have Champions Vigilance, DD Telepon, and Vultile on Donto. So we are one for five. That is not a great start, but don't worry, we have two more of these. So one super in that one, we're gonna have one super and one ultra slash ulti in here. And then last one, we're gonna have one super, one ulti, one secret, one ghost. It's gonna go crazy. All right, next pack, come on. Let's do this. Let's see if we can pull something epic here. Will we be able to pull the Prophecy Destroyer? I think we will. And that may be because he has a promo in this tin. Let's see. Oh, we pulled him, whoa! That should be a YouTube short. No, I'm just kidding. That would be really dumb. All right, we have our same five packs here. Order of chaos. Let's see what you can do. What have you got for us? One, two, three. Can you bless us with that number C41? Am I even saying it right? What if I'm just saying the wrong name the whole time? And we pull it. I'm like, whoops. Got to wave, wind up on a beat. Or I don't pull it. I never know. Star of the Night, Star of the Night.  Weights of Xen-Majors and Nannipon. Okay, Nannipon. So far, we have not pulled anything crazy. Come on, Propsy Destroyer. Whoa, what's going on with this? It's like a really long flap there. Interesting. Okay, this is gonna be the one, guys.  The Doom Donuts. Watch out for those donuts. They can be dangerous. Gamishara, Camera Clops, Hierotic Seal of the Dragon King. Doom Donuts are at it again. Insector Firefly, I got to pull out the Doom Donuts. That's too epic. Wattail Dragon. Evil Tile, Laga Sucha. We have Gagaga Gardener and Gagaga Ghostrare. Buten, the Buten, the little pig. We have officially, this is over the halfway point here. We have one super. So this is not a great start, but all it takes is one pack. You get one big ulti, you get one big ghost, and this becomes an epic opening. Come on, we have Photon Leo, XC's Burst. Tables are Terias. Koala, Koala. Photon Circle. Double Defender. Splash Capture. Evo Instant. And finally, will it be an instant ghost rare right here? No, it's an upstart cold and ninja. Okay, I'm holding out hope for some good guards, but it's not coming out so well right now. Galactic Overlord, come on. I just thought of a great idea right now. I don't know why I thought of this during this video, but I was thinking about the top 25 pulls video, because I was like, if we pull a ghost, that could be in the top 25 pulls video, or whatever it's gonna be. It'd be really cool if I did like a thing where you guys could vote on the top pulls, so that this year, the top 25 pulls of the year, I don't pick them. It's like fan voted. That would be kind of cool. Let me know in the comments what you think about that, and maybe we'll do something like that, and I'll put in like the Discord or whatever. Go check out the Discord, by the way. Free to join. Let's go, Injector Ladybug. Let's see if we can pull a ghost right here, right now, and then you guys can vote for it. Here we go. Gauntlet, Ruxen Special, Commander of Swords. Wattel Dragon, XC's Wrath. Overlay Owl. We have Hammer Shark, and oh my gosh, a Darwino. We are 149 right now. Incredible pace for our hollow pulls. Photon Shockwave, come on. Galaxy House Photon. This is one of the coolest looking pack arts, in my opinion. It's hard to top this. Let me know in the comments, is this the best pack artwork of all time? Because it's hard to top. I mean, some of those old schools are really nice, like Yu-Gi on them. But in terms of just a monster, this is like, this is good. This is really good. And that's why we're gonna pull the ghost shirt right now, to honor the pack artwork. We have Tri-White, Plasma Ball. It's kind of a creepy card. Wattcancel, Fish Rain, Space Cyclone. We have Damage Diet. The diet will do damage. We have Illuminize, Photon Booster, and our final card of the second tin. Will it be a foil? It's an Acorn-O. They have some weird cards in these sets. Acorn-O, okay. We're down to one more tin. We're getting waxed.  But guess what? We've done this before. You guys remember what happened? We pulled crazy at the end. Let's see what we can do. Prophecy Destroyer, I believe in you. All right, we got another Prophecy Destroyer. Who saw that one coming? That well, technically we have more than one foil because we have multiple foils in the promo pack. We have 10 total foils in those. We have 15 if you include the one we gave away. Let's get serious. Order of Chaos. This is, we gotta buckle down, guys. This is not just, this is not just a casual YouTube video. This is hardcore. We gotta pull a coast. If we don't, it's the end. Oh, what in the world is this card? Is this Emo Caribo? Dark Lawn? I don't think I've ever seen that card. At least I've never, I've probably seen it, but I've never noticed it. Dark Lawn, Emo Caribo. Oh, the Interplanetary Purpley Thorny Dragon.  Gotta pull that out. A Carrivol is amazing. Vampire Koala, Dark Lawn, Emo Caribo. I love that. That is amazing. That's coming out. We have Mass Ninja. We have Koala, Koala. So far, Order of Chaos is now becoming one of my top sets based on the comments. Silling Ceremony. We have White Night Queen. This is definitely gonna have a foil, right? Because of all those cards, right? Oh, it's an Evo Force. It's a foil. We'll take it. It's a super rare. It's an evil tile specific super. So I'm guessing not too crazy, but maybe it hasn't had a reprint. It's worth $25 for some reason. That would be great. Probably not. Okay, a foil is a foil. We are now two for 11. Glad to go over, Lord. Let's go. I believe in you. Let's get that Ghost Rare, baby. One, two, three. We have Fallen Current at it again. I can't remember that word. Darwino. We have Double Payback. Wattail Dragon. XT's Wrath. Overlay Owl. Insector Earwig. Light Ray Diablos. And finally, Ghost Rare Time. No, I read a dragon of Sue. So many hieratics and so little foil. Back to Order of Chaos. Wait, who gave us our first foil? Order of Chaos has had both foils so far. So they're like two for five, which is actually not bad. Order of Chaos has been holding up there into the bargain. Glad to go over, Lord. On the other hand is 0 for five and Photon Shockwave is 0 for two. So they are 0 for seven combined. Not too good. Let's see if Order of Chaos can continue the hard carry they have going on right now. Photon Leo. Insector Ant, let's go. Danupon. Give us something crazy. Koala Koala. Ceiling Ceremony of Katon. Air Armor Ninja. Galaxy Wave. Dark Blade, the captain of the evil. I didn't know there was a Dark Blade retrading this set. Okay, that's kind of sick. I bet it's not any good because I've never heard of it. And finally, Vampire Koala. Okay, Order of Chaos, you went two for six. Honestly, not terrible. It's you two that I'm expecting more from. I expected more from you guys. So in honor of that, we will pull two straight Ghost Trails to end the video. It will be the craziest ending of any video we've ever had.  Let's see. Oh, that ripped kind of weird. Probably because there's a Ghost Trail hidden inside. One, two, three. No foils, pull out a Galactic Overlord yet. Let's do it right now. Hierarch Seal of the Dragon King. Hierarch Seal of Supremacy. Light Ray Daedalus. Aquamere Cycle. Morpho Butter Spy. Lady of D. Watch out. We got Injector Earwig. G-g-g-gardner and our final card. And a Galactic Overlord in this video. Yet to pull a foil. Will this be the Neo-Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon Ghost Trailer? The Xyz told me, but it is a super Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger. We'll take it. Gaia Dragon, pretty cool card. We'll take it. It's a foil. I saw the Xyz. I was like, it might have happened. And I couldn't remember the stats. It's like 2600. It's pretty close to what it is. I think it might be a little bit more in the Neo-Galaxy Eyes though. It might be like 28 or 3K. All right, Photon, you are the only pack who has not pulled a foil. You're over two right now. Let's go one for three. Final chance. Last pack magic. Send me some luck in the comments, guys. If you guys have enjoyed the video, don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more content like this. And hopefully even more exciting than this when we pull some Ghost Trails. Okay, Photon lead. Let's go guys. I need some support right now. Wind up bat. Gotta believe. Evo Miracle. Space Cyclone. Stinging swordsman. Luminize. Ah, the Creepy Coney in the final bag. No, not like this. Tribe-shocking virus. Only one way to fix that Creepy Coney. Here we go. Last card magic, guys. Icy Grebis. Okay, all right. Not the best pulls today, but there will be better in the future. So make sure to subscribe for more content.


In this presentation, we'll take a look at multiple choice questions related to property plant and equipment. First question. Property plant and equipment is A. Tangible assets with a useful life of more than one year that are used in business operations, B. a liability, C. a current asset, D. Expensed in the year purchased, or E. are recorded when cash is paid. We'll go through this one more time, go through the process of elimination, see if we can eliminate some of the options. Question. Property plant and equipment is A. Tangible asset with a useful life of more than one year that are used in business operations. That sounds pretty good for what property plant and equipment is, so we'll go through the rest of them. I'll leave that option here. B says a liability. Liability is typically not a liability. We're talking about property plant and equipment. It's some type of asset we purchased it to use in the future, such as equipment or something like that. It wouldn't be a liability. We'll cross that one out. C says a current asset. That's a bit closer because it is an asset, but it's not going to be a current asset. It's going to be a long-term asset, so it's not going to be C. D says, Expensed in the year purchased. It's not going to be Expensed in the year purchased. In the property plant and equipment, we're going to capitalize it in the year of purchase and therefore not Expensive, so it's not going to be D. E says, Are recorded when cash is paid? That's not necessarily the case because we may not have paid cash at the point and time of purchase. We may have purchased it on account or financed it in some way. It's not going to be necessarily E. A looks like the correct answer. Just from a multiple-choice type standpoint, if we do see a longer, more detailed answer that might be hedging itself a little bit more, that oftentimes might be one to consider more because the fact that it's longer may be because it's trying to give more detail and be a bit more specific in order to make sure it's right in all circumstances. Let's with A, question and answer. Property plant and equipment is a tangible asset with a useful life of more than one year that are used in business operations. Next question. Salvage value is, A, the cost less accumulated depreciation, B, not material, C, estimate property plant and equipment value at the end of useful life, D, not used in the calculation of depreciation or E, the net value of the asset. We'll go through this again and go through the process of elimination. We have the question being the salvage value is, A, the cost less accumulated depreciation. That's the book value, the cost less accumulated depreciation. It wouldn't be equivalent to the salvage value unless it was at the end of the useful life where we're left with the salvage value. I don't think it's going to be A. B says not material. That might be, it might be not material, but that's not the definition, materiality, meaning it might be significant to decision making, but it doesn't seem right to be B. C says estimate property plant and equipment value at the end of its useful life. That seems pretty reasonable. At the end of its useful life, salvage value, I'll keep that for now, D says not used in the calculation of depreciation and typically it is going to be used in the calculation. If you use different methods, you might get a little confused on whether it's used or not because it's the straight line method. It's there for sure. We take the cost minus the salvage, but in the double declining balance, we get to the end of the double declining balance and that's when it's taken into account because we've got to make a bit of an adjustment at the final year in order to take an account for the salvage. But in any case, it's not D.
