Welcome back to Nintendo Prime. We've got a bevy of news stories for you today ranging from exciting sales data on Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Oh, and don't forget an amazing eShop sale happening right now at games like the 75, 80% off. It's insane. We're gonna get into that towards the end of the video. And hey, if this is your first time watching a Nintendo Prime video, I would appreciate it. If you would drop a like and maybe hit that subscribe button. And you know what, why don't you hit that bell as well so you get notified of all future videos that we upload, including our big show this summer known as Prime Gaming Fest. We're gonna have thousands of dollars worth of gaming gear giveaways from consoles and games and art pieces and accessories. And we're trying to get back as much as we can. We actually did this last summer as well and had over 350 people walk away with something absolutely for free. So hey, why not hit that subscribe button and get that bell hit so you can be notified when we are going to be going live with that event. It does happen in June. Now, setting all that aside, let's get right into today's news and we're starting with Kirby and the Forgotten Land. So we now have sales updates for the UK for its second week on the market and Kirby has done something a little bit unprecedented for the Kirby franchise and that has maintained its position as the number one bestseller in boxed retail units for the week. This is important to note because the UK does not count digital sales in their sales charts. So yes, Kirby and the Forgotten Land stayed at number one for two weeks in a row and that it officially makes it the fourth best-selling Kirby game of all time in the UK already after just two weeks, which is incredible. Last week's number two game, Tina's Tiny Wonderland, that one actually fell back a little bit to number four. Hopping back up into number two is Elden Ring. At number three, we actually get to see Pokemon Legends Arceus make a return to the top three as well. Now, while not in the top 10, Breath of the Wild sales actually jumped 60% week over week. Really incredible showing that Kirby might have actually sold some switches last week and now they're starting to pick up some of those secondary games like Legends Arceus and Breath of the Wild. Yeah, now if you're curious on how much the sales actually fell for Kirby week over week because obviously it didn't sell as well as it did during launch week, it actually fell 41% and the fact that it fell 41% and still maintained its number one position on the charts is incredible. It actually shows just how well those launch sales really were for Kirby. Now, can it maintain its spot for three weeks in a row? That would actually set a Kirby game record if it does that. So, well I guess we'll find out next weekend. Next up, we actually have an interview in Nick Kay for the producer of the Mario Kart series and he goes in depth on the DLC, the 48 tracks being added to this game over the next, you know, handful of years or next couple of years I suppose and we already have eight of those tracks ready right now, two new cups and there's been some likes and dislikes with these cups, some liking the way it was handled, some disliking it, whether it's a visual thing, whether it's the coconut mall with the cars not moving and the escalators being changed or, you know, just things like even the tour tracks actually showing some slight improvements over their original iterations on mobile devices. So, what does he have to say about all this and why did they go in the direction that they did? Well, here is what he had to say. So, this comes from producer Yosuke Yabuki and he said the following, the word remaster might sound cheap but we're confident that it will create new and unique experiences that are different to how tracks were originally. We had to make all sorts of adjustments as it wasn't enough to simply leave the tracks as they were. The Game Boy Advance Track Sky Garden released in 2001 was originally a flat plane but we added some verticality to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version. Players are going to have their own memories with each course so we are careful to not change them too much. The discussion of intellectual property often happens around characters but courses also belong in that conversation. We want to honor players' memories while also polishing the allure of each course as intellectual property. So, this also shows that they wanted to put a lot of love and care into these courses without fundamentally changing people's, how we remember them, how these courses were back in the day. Obviously ones that were completely flat planes like back on the Super Nintendo are going to need to be adjusted to have verticality but the bottom line is, there's a lot of ins and outs with these courses and what's the right move, some people think they should do more like they did with the original Mario Kart 8 courses and the original Mario Kart 8 DLC. Some people think they should do a little bit less because it's kind of bastardization their memories like cooking at mall where the cars don't move and they change the escalators. Some people hate those changes so it's a fine balance we're trying to find between trying to deal with nostalgia while also trying to make sure these courses are fresh and feeling good for new players today that maybe never played these courses originally. I don't envy the teams hard time having to find this balance. I can understand that I don't work at Nintendo, I don't make video games right now so there's a lot of things you need to consider when releasing DLC like this to both make it appealing but also make sure that older fans aren't upset by it. I don't envy their position at all. They're gonna get criticism, they're gonna get praise. That just comes with the territory and I would say at least for the first batch of eight courses they've released they did an all right job. I'm not gonna say they're even among my favorite courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe although the Ninja Hideaway one's pretty good but yeah I think that I'm hopeful that we're gonna see even better courses moving forward and it could just have to do with the track selection this time. They might have went with the easiest tracks now. People always know you always get easier tracks in the first couple of cups, the best tracks in the last couple of cups so it could be possible that we're just looking at the easiest of the batch and then it's gonna get more complicated with better and more complex tracks moving forward. I guess time will tell. Next up I wanted to let you guys know that Nintendo has restocked classic controllers on their My Nintendo store that you need a Nintendo Switch online subscription to purchase. Now this restock isn't unfortunately what we would like to see but it's better than nothing. They have restocked the Super Nintendo controller and the Sega Genesis controller again meant to be used with Nintendo Switch online although it is just a standard controller for switching could be cross compatible in various indie games and the like on the eShop. Well one controller we're actually waiting to be restocked is the Nintendo 64 controller. They have actually never restocked the controller since launch and since you could do pre-orders before it came out, technically it's never actually been available while the Nintendo 64 app was available. At least in the United States. Think about that for a moment. They let you pre-order it and after the Nintendo 64 online launch it's actually never been able to be purchased. So yeah, kind of a problem. So well I'm really happy the Super Nintendo and Genesis do have restocks and maybe they're banking up more and more N64 controllers for a better restock. Here is the reality of the situation. These have been available now for a few days. They're still not sold out. The one that's in demand is the N64 one and that's the one that's not being made available. I don't know if they're having a hard time manufacturing them. I don't know if there's just some issues somewhere. Maybe they're all stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean waiting to be unpacked. I have no idea. All I know is it's disappointing and I hope to see this resolved at some point in the future. Now our last story deals with some sales on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Now there's always thousands of games on sale on the eShop which is great but also a problem because it makes it so hard to sift through them to find the best deals on the best games. So today I wanted to actually talk about a handful of these games and the great deals being happening to them so you don't miss out on them including some sales that are ending soon and some sales that just started up and we're starting with the Ultimate Sonic Bundle. So the Ultimate Sonic Bundle includes Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces and Sonic Team Racing and it's actually going for just $29.99 which is 50% off of retail. That is awesome, that is a great price. All three of those games are quality experiences. We're not talking about a certain Sonic game that was made by Big Red Button. We're actually talking about quality Sonic games here. Mania wildly considered the best of the bunch but yeah for $29.99 I think it's well worth diving in. If you have been considering buying these games and waiting on a sale this is the time to get it. Now another mega Sega deal is Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD. It's on sale right now for just $14.99 so whether you've played this franchise before or you're actually looking to get into it for your first time it's 50% off. Great time to get into it and the last deal from Sega I wanted to bring up was Valkyrie Chronicles 4 Complete Edition. We're going to the Complete Edition sort of the standard edition because the price difference is negligible so you might as well get the version that has all the content and that is just $19.99 or you know what $30 off of the normal launch price. So that is really great. All of these games are amazing and well worth looking into. Now get into our first indie deal we're looking at Overcooked 2. It is actually the cheapest it's ever been on Nintendo Switch at $6.25 which is 75% off the standard price. Overcooked is an amazing franchise. I've had a ton of fun with it and I cannot suggest this game enough if you have friends both online or in person. Next up Axiom Verge, one of the best Metroidvania indie games on the planet hits its lowest price ever at $5.99 that is 70% off of its standard pricing. Next up is a game for those people that love Breath of the Wild. If you are a massive Breath of the Wild fan and you haven't heard of this game you've really been living under a rock. It's made by Ubisoft we're of course talking about Immortals Phoenix Rising. It is on sale right now for $15.99 that's 75% off and I cannot stress this enough. If you have not played this game but you love Breath of the Wild you are really missing out. This is a high quality experience that's highly, highly inspired by Breath of the Wild with a lot more teenage level comedy or whatever but it's good fun.  The Lego Harry Potter collection is on sale right now for $9.99 that's 80% off for retail. Has a couple Harry Potter games included. The Lego franchise is obviously amazing and then the last game I wanna talk about is actually one that came out a few years ago but is a triple A experience and one that everyone should play if you're into strategy and that is Civilization 5. It is on sale right now for $8.99 that is 70% off and my gosh is Civilization 5 a lot of fun. At least I bought it for full price at launch because my lord do I love civilization. Now, before we end this video I just wanna remind everyone that this Tuesday we are actually going to be live streaming Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga. That's right folks. The big much anticipated Lego game one of the most anticipated Lego games to ever exist. Nine movies, one game, space combat. You have ground stuff. You got traveling between planets. You have story elements. All this crazy stuff wrapped into a single game. I am so excited to go from pod racing to dust star destroying to whatever the hell happens in the final movie because I haven't actually seen it yet. This is really really exciting stuff and you know what? I saw this back in a private demo at E3 2019 and forget about the visuals. The gameplay was so stunning and on switch it apparently runs at 720p locked 30 FPS. I like the locked 30 FPS because that means there shouldn't be any FPS drops and that is more important to me than trying to target 60. Now that being said, this game is coming out on Tuesday but we'll be live streaming in here.  That's totally fine. That's your prerogative. I want to thank you guys so much for tuning in. I am with Andrew Ruffles from Nintendo Prime and you know what? I'm going to catch you guys in the next video.


Hashtag YPTMM fans want Sympt Handil's parents to have their own reality show. From the fathers this is my house and tell them, my wife, to the mothers don't disturb me when I'm talking jabs, the pair had viewers hooked. After watching Sunday Night's episode of You Promise to Marry Me, fans have reached an agreement that Sympt Handil's parents stole the show and the two fighters deserve their own program. The show guarantees bucket loads of drama. However, none of the viewers could have anticipated that instead of worrying about the people who promised to marry each other and then broke the promise, they would be mesmerized by Sympt Handil's very loud parents. Sympt Handil is the man the show confronted this week after he allegedly left Avawee hanging after promising to marry her. It was revealed in the episode that he stole his mother's ring to make the promise, then changed his mind and allegedly drank the money away and got another girlfriend. Even in that already messy situation, Sympt Handil's parents won the hearts of viewers and stole the spotlight. Not only were they fighting the show and the presenter but at some point they fought each other, fought Sympt Handil and everyone in that cramped living room they were in. They had the volume and the punchlines, and tweets were just living for the effortless drama they brought to the show. Here are some of the top reactions from you promised to marry me fans.

So that I'm seeing a celebration around I'm seeing You know a need to let your hair down and you know, enjoy yourself Get togethers with people that you love and love you and I'm seeing lots of happiness and around that Energy and they are showing me that you are It's like you're kind of punching the ago and I did it well done. I did it And so you're very proud of yourself very very proud Okay, so that's the beginning of the week by the middle of the week And I'm seeing a new contract for somebody who is self-employed Now this person whoever this person is Is they're either just starting out their business or they really really need this opportunity This because it feels as if it's like oh my goodness. Thank you. This has really helped me And this is a way of earning in a condensed way An opportunity to get a lump sum of money in So that you can live a better life. You can live You know better than hand to mouth And I feel as if this opportunity is going to race into your life Around the middle of next week And this will come at a time where you've been a bit bored and a bit kind of like Um regarding work or money. Okay. Um, and I'm seeing this being It's like I'm I do see you've manifested this you have manifested this and it has actually taken its You know, it's told in rewarding you. Okay, it is there You are weighing up the pros and the cons linking to a contract Okay, this contract is something that is It's working in your favor for sure. Okay, this contract Um, I do see the word self-employed or an opportunity to work by yourself Using your own momentum not having somebody breathing down your neck saying have you done this yet? Have you done that yet? And that isn't a job that is any good for you at all.  You like to finish things Now for somebody who is not working Um, then I'm seeing there is um links around Um, a person who is uh, they think about money. Okay, quite a bit They are trying to get charge of money and there is some legal or official documents around this money and there's a sense of You know, you're beginning to annoy me.  Okay, so Um, that's where I see middle Of the week. So by the end of the week And by the end of the week, we've got everything is a bit in limbo and we're having to wait. We're having to um decide what to do about a certain situation regarding money work and financial support Um and security Because things have changed. We've got the wheel of fortune, which means that things have changed and everything is now in a different Um energy is a different vibration as well Um, you have tried to look into other people and what other people believe Um is um is the truth or what other people believe is Is what is what needs to happen. Um, but sometimes they're not seeing Your vision and you're not seeing their vision and there's a little bit of lack of communication energy around this financial situation But things are moving and changing and turning. Um, so it's not going to stay the same And um, remember that Peter Pan energy put out your positive energies to say Everything is turning out for the best. I thank you universe for Making me secure and happy And and you just put it out there and then you go and have some fun Um, because the worst thing that that you can do Um with law of attraction Is to keep looking and saying is it there yet? Have I got it yet? Have you bought it to me yet? What about now? Because the universe just keeps seeing the fact that there's A desperation energy and it keeps pushing it further and further and further back Okay, so um, so yeah Being the flow of positive vibrational energy and everything falls and draws into your life Being in a feeling of need and of I want I want I need to have need need need Is a pushback a pushback a pushback vibrational energy positive Blowing into your life needy energy is going out and it's not to say that there's Each person that's listening to this has been in that needy energy and that desperate energy At some various points of our lives It's just now, you know the secret um to Bringing about that positive energy change Um, you know, there's nothing stopping you now from manifesting more and more really isn't So there you go. That's what I see for our lovely Sagittarius people Okay, so Finally for everybody who's been waiting Is airy's okay, so we're going to be doing airy's now. Let's have a look I'm so sorry the computer crashed. I did um restart it um, it just before I even came on I did but uh, yeah Internet is having a few dodgy moments Okay, so if anybody has shared um this live then um I will put you on the list Um for this beautiful bracelet. Um, it's cherry vain Calcedoning um, so that is the uh crystal there so Um, let me know if you have shared it. Let me know and I will write your name on there and I'll pull that in a minute Okay So finally, let's go for airy's Okay Let's write down the Time 12 40 6 Right and concentrating on lovely airy's Okay, emperor's new clothes Okay So I believe that you are seeing Something happening That it's like they are making a fall of themselves And how do you tell them? How do you tell them that this is what is going on? How do you reveal to them? That what their belief systems is is they've been lied to and The truth is going to come out. Okay. The truth is going to come out and they've been lied to So how is that going to come about? Okay, so I do feel that um There is um, it's somebody in particular. It's somebody that you care about Somebody that you want to help in some way And uh, you're not They're not having it. They're not helping themselves. Okay, so there was a frustration energy I'm seeing around that um, we've also got with the emperor's new clothes And sometimes it's like, you know at the beginning of the other video I showed you a picture where I'd cracked my tooth And I was in vain and I was like I've got an event tonight.  I was having the tooth fixed um, so um, that's like, um The same thing. It's like I I I really didn't want to be seen and exposed and I didn't want to um, want to You know, um Yeah, I don't know how to explain it But I I feel is it is difficult to explain something that's being given to you in your head Um, and it's like trying to push it out there The um, the vanity of me didn't want to For other people to see that I wasn't Immaculate and perfect um looking and You know with my makeup on and my nails down and my hair the vanity of me It was like a little bit of a nudge saying You're more than that. Um, and sometimes, you know, things happen and things like so there is a lesson going on I feel because you've got the emperor's new clothes Emperor's new clothes is you know, sometimes we have to say I am what I am or it is what it is Um, and there's things that I don't know Um, even though I know a lot more Um than I did before there's still going to be some things that I might say Oh, okay. Um, well, that was new and I feel as if it's going to be a lot more um A lot more revelations coming this next week than there has been for a long time There's going to be a big boost in it and there's going to be a lot of new awakened souls Who are going to be searching around for answers? And I do feel that the light workers that are watching this and the light workers around us Um, I really get a um have to pull up Um a chair sit down with people and and really help so Anyway, that's what I'm seeing. I haven't explained it very well, but Hopefully you've got the gist of what I was trying to get at Okay, so let's have a look at what the cards are saying for Aries Okay, so there's going to be a bit of confusion at the beginning of the week And they are going into what I was channeling through early with that card Which is a person who is feeling naive and feeling very sensitive A character who's feeling a little bit silly They feel a bit silly because they have The exposure is out there Information is out there and they feel as though they should have known or why didn't I know Why couldn't I believe you how come you worked it out and I didn't So there's going to be a lot of that and it's like a closure of the ears I don't want to tell anybody That either I was wrong, you know, how do I how do I get? How do I get through to people? So I'll show you the cards, which is very interesting So the princess of cups is a very naive or sensitive person The four of cups is the worry or the emotions Okay, it's like that that a feeling of you know, I'm I'm There's a lot of emotions going on I'm confused and it's like I don't want to hear what is the truth I'm not ready to hear what the truth is. They've got their hands over their ears. You see It's like I don't want to hear Okay, so so yeah, that's what I'm seeing With those okay, and that's the beginning of the week. Okay So by the middle of the week, there's somebody new coming in the areas is somebody new um These odds okay One of the scenarios that I'm getting may not apply to to all of you and one of the scenarios may not actually be Just for areas it can be for whoever is watching even if it's in the replay later. Okay So there is going to be a love life meet And once this meeting happens between these two people that there is a knock-on effect of the tower moment um, and it's like it's like If somebody if each one of these people are in relationships Their relationship will end that one will end and they will have to be together It's just that powerful Um, we've got the world card. So I need to show you the cards that I've got for you to see just how dramatic Um, this is okay So first card out was the two of cups, which is meeting somebody new or meeting somebody of great importance I will give you the other scenarios that there are in a minute. Okay, but just for now Um, there's that there is then the tower card Okay, so the tower card is somebody's crowns being knocked off Um, things emotions rising to the surface Kapow, you know explosions here there and everywhere and then but it's all for the best Now the world card indicates that this relationship couldn't be anything else other than together And anything standing in its way will come tumbling down Okay, so or Like I said, it's not for everybody. I'm not going to predict that everybody's Relationship is going to go kaput because there's a meeting That is for one or two people that are watching this. Let me make that absolutely clear That is for one or two people who are watching this Whether they're Aries or um or another sign. They're watching this. Okay. So we'll draw a line under that one Um, and we're also going to then go into so this is the middle of the week Um, so there's going to be some really good news There's going to be a feeling of excitement a feeling of it's meant to be linking with a particular person coming into your life who is a friend Who is somebody who is um They know you very well and you know them very well. Um, there's a real understanding of each other Okay, and understanding of You know like Like a connection. Okay, so, um, you know, I I I know you I've always known you I've known you in many lifetimes and here you are in my life now So like I said, it doesn't have to be love life. Okay It can be um a person coming in who's going to be very influential in your life Does it have to be face to face? No, not necessarily. It can be online But this person is going to make um big changes in your life. So this person Coming in not everybody may get on with them.  You've changed my sister. You've changed my Wife, what have you done?  Okay Regarding that but I can't get away from the world card. This is meant to be This is one of those karmic things that comes about um, that says you both promised To be to come down to this Earth plane at this exact time for this exact reason and it's like You are It's like a mission All right It's the mission and you're here to make a difference.  It's Very powerful cards there. I can't get away from that. Um, the middle of the week Aries By the end of the week Aries, um, you're going to be taking a leap of faith Um, it's like I'm doing it. I'm going for it. I don't know why I'm just doing it Um, I'm seeing a person who's trying to dissect everything a person who's trying to weigh up the pros and the cons Well, what what if this happened or what if that happened or you know, if this happened would that happen? Would it be okay? So it's like trying to think like a Libra would trying to think three steps ahead of themselves of how it affects other people's life and other people's timelines and You know dissecting everything before they decide on any future situation Um, but with all of that there is going to be a leap forward of I'm don't with you know It might go against what my logical brain is saying to me And because I'm going with my gut feeling. I'm going with my heart My heart is pulling in this direction and no amount of logic is going to make any difference Um, so we've also got the Empress card. So the Empress card in this situation There's so many different meanings for the Empress and I can't the other cards aren't really giving me an indication Of what it means. So I am going to pull some extra cards for the Empress cards for garden this So this is the end of next week Okay, so there can be some official documents or contracts There is a change that is happening Um, I feel that there is it's like putting some boundaries up around ourselves And it's like I'm going to adjust who is coming in and out of my life. Okay Um, I'm trying to be a perfectionist when you know, I can't always keep my eye on everybody Got to be outspoken. I've got to say it how it is I've got psychic ability And I know that I'm going to be moving or I know that this is what's going to be happening So there's like a gentle knowing Really that Is going to be coming out and I feel this is either with a mother figure a motherly character A person who is a mother or a person that is very nurturing Okay, there's a there's a the full card says I don't know why I'm just going to do it And the logical person says I'm trying to talk you out of it Your higher self is saying oh, you haven't weighed this up. What's up? Um, you usually are very much more careful than this, but you've just died straight in Okay, now I think we're still going into this meeting of this person And changing your life in a huge way. So massive things happening for Ares, so Please let me know how it all goes Ares. I really do want to know Because that's pretty much Bizarre, isn't it really? So, yeah.

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that causes genes to be expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. Forms of genomic imprinting have been demonstrated in fungi, plants and animals. As of 2014, there are about 150 imprinted genes known in the mouse and about half that in humans. Genomic imprinting is an inheritance process independent of the classical Mindi-Li and inheritance. It is an epigenetic process that involves DNA methylation and histone methylation without altering the genetic sequence. These epigenetic marks are established imprinted in the germ-line sperm or ad cells of the parents and are maintained through mitotic cell divisions in the somatic cells of an organism. Appropriate imprinting of certain genes is important for normal development. Human diseases involving genomic imprinting include Angelman's syndrome and Proder Willie's syndrome.


The idea of a sleepover, as it appears in movies and television, connotes a lot of things beyond a mere hangout session that happens to last through the night. Most of us have seen in movies and TV shows, or experienced in real life all sorts of debauchery on those occasions. Middle schoolers sharing their first illicitly obtained alcohol, or watching movies their parents would never let them see, or high schoolers gossiping about crushes, engaging in raunchy party games, or doing much more. But it's also easily forgotten how much pure and innocent fun such occasions can be for kids at a younger age. At that age, kids, usually still segregated by gender, often see a sleepover as nothing more than an endless play session with their buddies. The weekend of my friend Brian's 11th birthday began as one such occasion. Fourth grade was a week behind us, and a summer of freedom, or at least what our obedient well-behaved selves thought of as freedom, was ahead. Brian's dad loaded us into his SUV and drove us an hour away to his family's lake house for an overnight trip, where we spent the early afternoon swimming and diving into the water by Brian's family's private pier. After that, we played football in the front yard, three on three, with me, Brian and Brian's little brother Jake, facing off against Matthew and the twins Mark and Taylor. Brian's parents made us dinner, complete with a cake for their son. Afterwards, we sat around and watched the new DVD release of The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers. As the credits rolled, Brian's dad told us he was going to bed. He's an early riser, and requested we retreat upstairs. The upstairs of the lake house consisted of a hallway with a large bedroom on one side, and a bathroom and locked room marked under construction on the other. The large bedroom had been set up with two small beds and four sleeping bags, as well as an old television linked to a VCR. It was only 9pm, admittedly not too far off from when many of us typically went to sleep. But this was no typical occasion. We chatted through pillows at each other, passed around to bop it, and battled each other, using a link cable on the two Game Boy colors Mark and Taylor brought. We decided to see what we could watch on television. It received basic cable. We were mostly intrigued, though, by the stack of VHS tapes next to the VCR. The first was a plain black tape with the matrix written in marker on it. Someone must have recorded a copy from TV. We all wanted to watch it, so I inserted it into the VCR and hit play. Everyone turned off the lights as the movie started. We sat on the floor around the television. Unfortunately, the film had a grainy quality, and the images repeatedly faded away into what looked like footage from a different movie. The combination of the lack of light, our physically active day, and the poor quality of the tape had a predictable effort. I started yawning. About 20 minutes in, Brian giggled that Jake was asleep. I turned a look, and indeed, Jake had descended into slumber in a sleeping bag, understandably so since he was three years younger than the rest of us, and accustomed to an even earlier bedtime. I paid little attention. I hadn't seen the movie before and was absorbed by it, even if it was captured in poor quality. Unfortunately, for me, though, the image problems worsened as the movie progressed. About 45 minutes in, both the visuals and the audio were entirely overtaken by what looked like the other movie over which it had been recorded. Boo, said Brian. Jake probably did this. He messes up everything. Don't blame Jake, I said. Having been subjected to more than my share of petty bullying by my own other brother, I never liked the way Brian picked on Jake. What is it that we're watching? Asked Taylor. Looks like some kind of horror movie, said Mark. I'll turn it off, I said, hopping to my feet. No, said Matthew. Let's keep it on, at least for a few minutes. I sighed. I didn't like scary movies, but I watched anyway. The movie showed teenagers of around high school age sitting around a campfire on a beach. One was telling a ghost story to the others. He described to them a demon with the name Endormy that had long fingers and the body of a heavily decomposed corpse. According to legend, it was the spirit of a condemned man thrown into the sea who never found a proper resting place. The loneliness drove the spirit mad and it craves for others to take into the depths with it to join it in its restless perpetual sleep. A sudden shriek from within the room startled me. Brian had poured a cup of cold water on his little brother, waking him. Stop that. Jake said, red in the face, Mark and Taylor laughed. Cut it out, Brian. I said, what are you going to do about it? Brian asked. It's my birthday. I can do what I want. I just don't like it when you treat Jake like that. I said, Brian lunged at me. He was much bigger and a much more athletic kid than my scrawny self, not to mention ten months older, and he quickly had me subdued on the ground. Stop that, said Matthew. I'm trying to watch the movie. Matt and Taylor pried Brian off of me, who went back to his previous position. I decided not to escalate. Brian would just humiliate me again if I kept arguing with him. So I quieted down and returned to the movie. The teenager in the movie was still discussing the endormy demon. It would be awakened when someone near a body of water spoke its name. It lurked in the water and generally took its victims by reaching out and grabbing them. However, sometimes it would emerge and take its victims from the land. When it did this, it crept up to those who had blasphemed against it by using its name the next time they were asleep, lifted them and carried them back into the water to join him. Oh, scary, said another of the teens in the movie as he laughed in response to the story. The endormy demon is going to come get me. I'm so scared. He said mockingly. There's no such thing as a monster like that. Said a girl holding his hand. Did you hear that? She said into the sea, Mr. Endormy, you're not real via the endormy demon's gonna get you Jake, taunted Brian back in the real world who noticed his little brother growing pale. I know that the endormy demon's not a real thing, Jake whimpered. I wanted to turn the movie off for my sake and for Jake's. The characters in the movie retreated to their tents to go to sleep. And finally, the scary part of the movie began. The camera took on a POV shot of something emerging from the water and approaching the campsite. It walked into the tent with a now sleeping couple and then reached out with two brown arms of bone covered by murky algae and decomposed flesh. Next, it picked them up and carried them back into the water. The camera work carefully kept most of the assailants image concealed, presumably saving the makeup work done on the monster for a visual reveal later in the movie. Upon making contact with the water, the teens both awoke and started to scream, but they only had a brief moment to make a gargling sound before they disappeared. That's enough, I said. I turned the movie off, causing the television to revert to its basic cable mode. I'm not a spoil sport normally, but I knew we'd provided too much nightmare fuel for Jake already. But I also didn't want to single him out as the reason I was unilaterally cutting the movie short. What? Why? asked Brian. I think it's boring. I said, Expectedly, Matthew, Brian, Taylor, and Mark didn't buy it and inundated me with jeers. Looks like Tom's terrified of endormy, said Mark. Tom thinks the endormy demon is coming to get us, said Taylor. There's no such thing as the endormy demon, said Matthew, trying to be a little more empathetic. I sighed. Let's just do something else, okay? Thankfully, my friends didn't pout much more. We played video games for a bit, followed by a few rounds of mafia, with the room illuminated only by the glow of the muted television. Jake fell asleep again pretty quickly, followed by Matthew. There was no variation of mafia that worked with only four people, so Brian, Mark, Taylor, and I decided to call it a night. I closed my eyes. My heart raced, however, as clips from the movie haunted me. I wasn't used to seeing movies like that. I thought about those two arms reaching out at that unsuspecting couple. Mostly, what horrified me the most was their obliviousness to their own death until the moment their bodies hit the water, they only learned of their fate when it was too late for them to do anything about it. I kept seeing that image replay in my head again and again of the couple's eyes shooting open upon contact with the water, and then them both disappearing for good. At least we didn't keep the movie on long enough to see what the creature looked like. That probably would have scarred me even worse. I tossed and turned, but couldn't go to sleep. I became endlessly absorbed by the sounds of the room, each one getting in my way when I tried to clear my mind. There was the regular hum of the overhead fan, the insects from outside, and the regular breathing of my friends who stayed of sleep by envied. In every corner, I pictured a skeleton with patches of mucky brown decomposed skin waiting to strike. I turned my attention to the faded television, which still ran on mute. It was stuck on the TV guide channel. Two hosts were speaking in the top portion of the screen as the channel selection rotated underneath. A blonde woman chatted with a man with a beard she was interviewing. It had the intended effect of making me drowsy. Then the man gave a concerned look and pointed behind the woman. Before she could react, a murky bony hand emerged from off camera and dragged her away. The man stood up in shock and said something to the camera, presumably to the crew there filming him. The image started to jostle and then cut to static, leaving on screen only the perpetual channel guide. Then the static faded away, revealing for a moment the image of a skull covered in various states of decomposed flesh. Tom. I heard a high pitched voice whimper as I felt a force against my shoulder. I had, in fact, fallen asleep and now Jake was shaking me awake. Yeah? The demon. It came. He got. Hey, hey, I said, trying to be reassuring. You're okay. Nothing's coming for you. It was just a nightmare. I just had one myself. But Matthew, I saw the demon carry him away. Jake was sobbing. I realized that he was more than superficially scared. But when I scan the room, the sleeping bag where Matthew had fallen asleep was empty. He probably just went to the bathroom, I said. That makes sense, doesn't it? Don't worry. It's going to be okay. Jake looked only a little reassured. I'll tell you what, I said, I'll go knock on the bathroom door now and I'll see if he's here. I'll be right back. Try to go to sleep, okay? Jake nodded and curled up by my sleeping bag. I got up and walked over to the hallway. The door to the bathroom was shut. I knocked on it softly, then more loudly. Hearing no response, I opened the door and peered in. The light was off. So I flipped it on. After so much time in the dark, I had to cover my eyes for a moment from the resulting brightness. Inside, I could see that the bathroom was empty. Where had Matthew gone? Maybe he'd gotten something to eat or drink from the refrigerator downstairs. I crept to the main floor, reaching my hand out in front of me so I could feel my way around in the darkness. Matthew. I whispered as I searched. He was nowhere to be seen. Then I noticed that the back door that led to the lake was open. Had Matthew gone outside? Why would he do that? Or had something else gone inside?  To my shock, not only was Matthew still gone, but now Jake was gone too. Only Brian, Mark, and Taylor remained, sound asleep and unaware of anything unusual happening around them. I heard a sound of movement outside the door, like someone or something was shuffling down the hallway. I crawled into my sleeping bag, unsure of what to make of things. I peered under the doorframe and vaguely discerned in the shadows, two approaching legs. The door slowly creaked open, revealing a dark, tall silhouette. I gulped and hoped to myself that it was merely Brian's father checking in on us. Maybe he'd know what happened to Jake and Matthew.  I could hear the shape step over me and walk to the bed where Taylor lay. A few moments later, I heard the shape step over me again and then shuffle out the door. When I crawled out of the sleeping bag and looked around, Taylor's bed was empty. I felt like I'd never been so close to death. If this really was the endormy demon, was it going to come for me next? And had so many of my friends now met the same fate as that couple from the movie. The movie said that when the demon goes to shore, it only takes those who are sleeping. So all I needed to do was wake up Brian and Mark, then they'd be safe, at least as long as they stayed away from the water. The shuffling sound started up again, a sense of incredible fear ran through me and froze me in place. This time, though, I kept my eyes open as the figure approached. It sure wasn't Brian's dad. Before me stood something even worse than I'd imagined. What looked like dirt, gunk, and faded algae covered its body. Patches of flesh lined its ribcage and left side of its face. One of its sockets had a bloody red eye that made contact with me. But the demon paid me no heed as it walked to the other side of the room. I knew I had to scream as in doing so I'd spare my friends by awaking them. But the horrific sight before me rendered me immobile. I reached in the back of my throat and found nothing. All I could get out were vague grunt sounds as the demon reached out with its bony arms and threw Mark over its shoulders. The creature, despite its nightmarish appearance, handled him gently. And Mark continued sleeping peacefully in its arms. The creature gave me another look, one that sent shame all over me. It realized I was a coward. As the creature left the room, I finally mustered the courage to get up. I followed it from the distance and watched as it descended the stairs. I peered out the back window as it submerged into the lake water. For a moment, I saw Mark struggle as the water awoke him. But within moments, both he and the demon disappeared from my vision. For a few seconds, the water, now slightly illuminated by the early morning light, looked tranquil, even as I now understood an extraordinary horror to exist in its depths. Then a decrepit head emerged as the demon began its return to the lake house. I rushed upstairs, grabbed Brian, and called out his name. What? He asked in a daze. What are you doing? Where is everybody? What time is it? I ran out of the room and looked out a window at the shoreline. Sure enough, now that its last potential victim was awake, the demon was gone. I knew we needed to tell Brian's father, but there was no way he'd believe me. Brian didn't even believe me. He laughed in my face when I told him that the monster from the movie was real and had taken our friends away to the water. So you last saw everyone else heading out to the pier? Said Brian. Well, that's probably where they are then. I mean, where else can they be?  Even Jake didn't believe them as strongly as you. And he believes anything. I'm gonna go find him. He shoved me aside and walked out the back. I ran after him and tried to stop him. I met Taylor, Mark, he called as he jogged to the edge of the water. Stop. I screamed, trying to catch up. But before I could do anything, a bony arm reached upwards from the water and grabbed Brian by the ankle. He screamed and tried in vain to hold onto a wooden plank as he was tugged out of view. I collapsed where Brian had just met his demise. Tears welled up in my eyes. If the rules from the movie were true, then at least I still wasn't in any danger. But I'd failed all my friends so miserably. All I needed to do was keep them awake and away from the water's edge. And I'd fumbled every opportunity I'd had to protect them. I yelled into the water, please, please give them back. Take me if you have to, please endure me. There, I said it, now please take me for them. I had no reason to expect any bargain of this kind to work. I just wanted this nightmare to end and a chance to make up for my failure. The water before me bubbled. The demon shot up and somehow balanced on the water's surface. He still looked terrifying, but less so in the morning light. He lifted his long index finger. One, I said. The demon nodded slowly, only one. A few minutes later, as I would later learn, Brian's father awoke to find his house abandoned. He heard noise outside and found in the grass his youngest son unconscious and barely breathing in soaked night clothes. At the end of the pier, he saw something pulling me into the water. After allowing the demon to take me, I remember suddenly feeling like the object of a tug of war game, one that Brian's father somehow won. He pulled me back and dragged me away from the shore. The police asked me and Jake endlessly about our four missing friends and what had happened that night, but we both knew better than to share the name of the entity who took them away. I'll never know what movie we were watching or why a copy of it existed at the lake house. If you find a copy, destroy it, and whatever you do, never speak out loud the name of the demon within it. Jake is off the hook, but it is still coming for me. I did make a deal after all. I've been in psychiatric care at a location further inland for several years now. I set an alarm to make sure I never sleep for more than two hours at a time. I slept through it once, and when I opened my eyes, I caught a quick glimpse of a decrepit pair of bony arms reaching out to me before they faded away. I followed the progress of a new pond that has been built near the entrance of my facility. It's been filled with water for five days, and I'm not sure how much longer I can stay awake.


Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to what is promising to be a very insightful session on probably one of the most pertinent, imminent geopolitical challenges of our times, of the 21st century. Of course, I am talking about Afghanistan, where events have unfolded rather quickly in previous weeks and many lessons to be drawn from the situation in Afghanistan. Therefore, I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable panel to be assembled here on stage today in Abu Dhabi to talk about the present, but also the future of Afghanistan. Delighted to have us with us, the director of the Department of International Security Corporation at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Saleh Mohamed Al-Zabi.  Lovely to have the CNN Senior European Correspondent based in Paris, Jim Bitterman, of course, a very famous fixture whom many of you are familiar with. I'm extremely delighted to welcome the Senior Reporter and World Correspondent at Le Figaro Renaud Girard, who knows Afghanistan probably as well as anyone here in this room. We have the director of research and communications at IFRI, Marc Eker, who has written a very comprehensive book about the war on terror, where Afghanistan, of course, is prominently featured. Also with us is the head of the Russia NIS Center of IFRI Tatyana, Kastueva Jean. And last but certainly not least, I'm delighted to welcome back on stage MK Narayanan, who is, of course, a former Senior Advisor and National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of India and currently the Chairman of Cycurex System. So much to talk about in these 80 minutes that we have.


hi I'm Mitch Mitchell even though this is coming out on Wednesday I actually did this Monday morning before I went to a doctor's appointment so that I could keep some of the things from the Super Bowl fresh in my mind because that's what we're gonna talk about today some takeaways that I had from the game not just the actual game but the entire Super Bowl 50 experience and I thought how interesting is that I've actually been alive for all 50 Super Bowls which is really scary but you know that's just how that is so the first one was looking at some of the players who came out being recognized for being MVPs of Super Bowls did you notice how many of those guys were walking really gingerly the pains and everything I mean when Elway came out I was really stunned that he was moving so badly and the same with Troy Aikman and it does kind of show us the kind of pain and injuries that these guys go through to play this game and of course these days we all know about the CTE thing with the brain so that's just kind of freaky but it was nice seeing all those guys and yes it was classless for Tom Brady to be booed like that and just showed a total lack of class come on the guy wasn't even in the game the guys won three Super Bowls really I don't know so I thought that was Terak Taki the second thing was these two teams played some monster defense you know you could throw out the score I mean the score makes it look like Denver dominated offensively that ain't even the truth Cam Newton actually outplayed Peyton Manning but he got two fumbles he fumbled twice and both of them led to scores and that's really the big difference in the game both teams were outstanding defensively I can't remember seeing a game like this obviously there were some of those early football games you know when the Jets beat the Colts 16 the 7 and Super Bowl 3 that was obviously a big defensive thing but you haven't seen anything like that in so many years I mean we've got used to some really big scores so that shows you that defense actually does win Super Bowls offense may win you a whole lot of games during the season but defense wins Super Bowls and I had actually had Carolina so I ended up now losing a bet and I have to pay my friend and his wife pizzas you know okay we're cheap betters so there was that there was the halftime show where I didn't even know who Coldplay was you know old guy okay now I knew a little bit of the one song that they did no not the words but the lyrics were for a TV show called undercover boss that I used to watch some years ago for at least a short period of time and I recognize that but I didn't know anything else I didn't know they were British I didn't you know all the swirly stuff and whatever and I have to admit that I was thrown off by how badly the musicians lip-synced or fake played the drummer was nowhere close to the beat I mean I don't think he really knew what to do it was still kind of cool seeing Beyonce and it was cool seeing Bruno Mars I think he was a late addition and I'm glad they did uptown funk I had a feeling they were gonna do uptown funk because leading into it they were playing a lead-in of my favorite song ever which is I want you back by the Jackson 5 I said oh heck if they're playing that it means I'm not gonna hear Bruno do uptown funk and sure enough Bruno did uptown funk and then Beyonce did a little bit of uptown funk that was kind of cool so I enjoyed the halftime show Coldplay I may go and try to listen to a couple of things because they weren't so bad even though I didn't know who they were to begin with so that's that one now let's talk about the commercials the one I absolutely hated I hated it was puppy monkey baby I hated it it was the most talked about thing on Twitter because I was kind of on Twitter at the same time during the game and the overwhelming majority absolutely hated it and I bet it ends up being a big one for Mountain Dew because when someone really hates something and they're talking about it you know talking about it whether it's good or bad is good publicity I don't even know what they were actually promoting except it was Mountain Dew and I didn't remember that initially until I was reading and someone mentioned it so I didn't like that one I hated that one I wasn't crazy about the Doritos one where the guy the wife is there you know getting close to having the baby and there's the guy in the birth and room with Doritos and the baby comes chasing the Doritos yeah I know some people thought that one was kind of funny some people really loved it yeah I was a little creeped I'll tell you I was creeped out by it I loved the one with the sheep singing somebody to love from Queen come on come on singing sheep that was wonderful I love that I love how they know when the guy was coming and then you hear the guy play in the same song and then you had the dog doing the commentary for the truck I said oh that's a nice touch I really thoroughly like that the other commercials there were tons of car commercials and this is interesting to me because I'm remembering back in 2009 2010 when it looked like most of the car companies were going away and actually started with President Bush I'm gonna give him credit for this one he started with the idea of bailing out you know some of these industries and President Obama followed up with it and look what we got now we've got these car companies that have totally recovered and we're seeing all these wonderful cars I mean that one car I thought it looked a lot like a transformer that's just my thought I can't tell you what it is because I don't know what it is I don't even know whether it was an accurate or an Audi I have no clue I just know there were a lot of the car commercials and I thought those were all kind of cool so you know I'm glad to see the current to be back and I'll admit there were a couple commercials I still have no idea what they were I don't have a recollection of them anymore right now and that's probably one of my one gripes about some commercials is that they're on and then they're gone it's like what was the product and if you don't remember what the product was then it's a bad commercial it just is so those are kind of my takeaways from the Super Bowl I enjoyed you know watching it I'm glad that Peyton Manning won even though I won a camp steam the win I hope the guy just goes ahead and retires because you don't need all those injuries dude just you know walk away now maybe you'll be fine L way you know don't turn in L way don't be a hero you know you go out on top you know a lot of you don't know that I used to play piano and I used to sing at weddings and I went out on top when the very last song I played at this wedding and I did four songs at a wedding I got a standing ovation and my wife was sitting there in the front row and I said you know what I will never play piano again and I didn't that was 1999 and I still feel good about that so Peyton take your championship and walk away now y'all may disagree with me you may agree with me let me know your thoughts down below and if you have any commentary on some of these stupid commercials or some of the good ones let me know hope you enjoyed this I will talk to you later Mitch Mitchell y'all take care

Close the deal and not run back to your manager. Listen, everybody right now in the automotive industry, this is what I see.  You know what they do? Daddy, save me! And they run back to the old tower.  Man, that's those people, that's that guy. Listen, if you right now, if you're watching this and you're like, hey Andy, I don't have that problem because I'm a closer.  Can I ask you a question? What value is it to get up out of the office and walk back to the manager and say they're not going to do this? He's going to say, well, what will they do then? Am I right?  But most of the time, most, I see sales people go in give a presentation and then the customer goes, what's the interest rate? Something like that or you said I can't get a better rate or what's your best price? That's even a better one. What's your best price? I need more from my trade and then you know what happens? Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy. A lot of you leave comments telling me that you need help. Do me a favor and tell you the best way to get a hold of me. Shoot me a text message right now,<PHONE_NUMBER>.<PHONE_NUMBER>. I'll help you with whatever you need.  Let's get back to the video. The salesman goes, what? And they stand up and what do they do? Walk back to the desk. And then what do they say? Who wants more for a straight end?  Well, who's getting paid the commission on the deal? Right? And then he's going to say, I am, but I don't know what to do. Well, can I ask you a question? Have you been training with Andy Elliott? No. I just spend the day watching TikTok all day.  So I'm going to teach you right now why you must learn to become a closer. And why I don't want you to leave the office unless you have a solid commitment. You and the customer are good and everything's great. Because every time you leave, you and the customer disconnect. Can I ask you a question? Whose job is it to give the customer the courage to say yes? Whose job is that? That's your job. And when you're not present and you're absent because you're at the tower because you haven't been training and you're not in the office, then that doesn't exist. And then the courage is gone. You feel me? So what happens in this office? Well, number one, when I've been with you for two hours, I'm just going to give you an example. Okay. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy, man. Hey, today we're going to give you world-class customer service, Serbia and all the highest levels that are important to you and your family. You guys are amazing. Where did you drive from today? Man, I'm on fire. I'm going to sell me a car today. Man, I'll treat you good.  Do a world-class walk around, fill the will, sills, the deal. Man, I'm having fun. Then I go right up the deal. Now I'm going in, bringing in a pencil, which is way higher than you want to be, because cars are freaking really expensive now. And I've never seen anybody saying, I hope they can keep me under 3,000 a month. No, people are like, I want to be in 300 a month. So guess what happens? You got to bring these numbers in and educate. Could you imagine you have to educate people and close people on numbers? That's why we pay you. And by the way, I'm not being sarcastic. I just want you to understand what your job is and why you have the ability to make a half a million a year if you do a good job. And if you're not making that kind of money, then maybe you need to train a little more, right?  Like, I want you to know right now, they're going to have objections. They're going to need to work through things. Can I ask you a question? Whose job is it to work through the things with? That's your job, okay? And if it's not you, then who? Who is it they're supposed to be working this out with? Your manager? Can I ask you a question? Can we give him a break and let him be a leader for a minute instead of babysitting you all day long, right? Like, if he wasn't babysitting everybody, he could actually be a better leader and probably get you guys more leads because he wouldn't be doing your job. I need you to understand the power of being able to do everything on your own, okay? That's what this is about. It's called being a master, okay? It's called mastery. Like Kobe Bryant mastered basketball. We're going to master closing and selling and influencing and connecting with people. But also, this is just common sense that I've been the right person for you the whole time. But literally within 30 seconds, I'm going to come show you some numbers and you're going to say, Andy, I'm not paying that price. I'm going to trigger something. You're going to get triggered and then guess what happens? I stand up and I leave the office, which shows that I'm not prepared to take care of you.  Get knee to knee, explain everything to them. Whatever problems they have, say, hey, number one, listen, guys, I've been doing this for a long time. I got the can do, will do attitude. We are going to work it out. No problem. Easy peasy. I got you guys, okay? Listen, you're going to get back in that deal and you're going to work it out with them. As you're building value in all of those areas, guess what? The client is going to go in the direction you want to go because you stay in control because you've trained for that environment. But if you haven't and they say, well, Andy, what's your best price? And I said, well, I don't know. Let me go talk to my manager, you know? And they're like, can I get a better deal? And you're like, I don't know. Let me go talk to my manager. Hey, I need more from my trade.  Like saying the most stupidest thing in the world. And then they're like, 15 grand. You're like, I can't give you 15 grand. And they're like, I need 14 grand. And you're like, give me a minute. And then you get up. What's happened the last two hours, all the value you've built in yourself is gone in one second. One second, it's all gone. So what happens? You walk out of the office.  And he goes, God, man, I thought it was going to be easier in this. You know, we did our research, we checked everything out, we came into the store. And you know what? You're letting them down because you didn't train. And because you're not a closer. So if you don't learn to close, what's going to happen is that you're literally going to take pencils in or proposals in. The clients are going to say, no, you're going to stand up and walk out. So literally instead of abling them to make a decision and giving them the confidence and strategizing with them and working it out with them and getting it handled, you leave the office and what do they do?  Why? Because you're not prepared. It's that simple. Okay. Think about it. Are you an expert? Yes or no? I know it says sales advisor. It says trusted advisor. It says sales consultant. Are you really a consultant for the space? Can you really consult people? I mean, when people, you may say, Andy, I'm not the manager. Can I ask you a question? Common sense is people need someone to sit with them and work things out with. Okay. That's your job. That's your job to work things out with people. Well, the question is, are you working anything out with them? Are you going to get your manager? Okay. Your manager, if it's his job to work everything out with everybody, then what are you for? To go test drive cars? To get keys out of the key track? To shake hands like a greeter?   Start acting like it. Every time you walk out of the office, every time, there's a very good chance that that client is going to become disconnected with the dealership and you at that point. Number two, they're going to doubt the experience in the process because you left them. They don't need to be unattended. Okay. And then lastly, there's a pretty good chance they're going to get on their cell phone and start looking at other dealerships and looking stuff up. Okay. Are those things that you want them to do? No. Well, then what's the only way you can ensure that they don't?  No, they say, honey, I don't know about you, but if he comes back in here and again and we're not getting what we want, we're leaving. And then guess what? You gave them a chance to make an ultimatum together without you around. Listen, I want to tell you something. What do people do under pressure? Make emotional decisions. Okay. They don't want to leave, but whenever there's money involved and they need to help and you're not there to help them, then they make emotional decisions. And those were things that you caused them to do that they didn't even want to do.  Okay. Now, listen to me. I love you guys.  I'm trying to explain what happens when the salesperson leaves the office. Don't leave the office. Now, the only way that I am okay with you leaving is like this. Okay. You got a $15,000 vehicle. I'm just giving an example. And let's say there's a $5,000 trade, right? Let's say that's the price. And then let's say the payment's going to be $300 a month. The only thing I'm okay with you doing is if the guy's like, hey, Andy, listen, man, I like everything you're doing. Here's, I got to have $5,500 for the trade, man. If I don't have $5,500 for the trade, I can't do the deal. And I go into my overcoming, objection handling. I defend the pencil. I ride out on the backside of my worksheet, how we've arrived at the top value. And the guy's like, Andy, I just, I got to have the $5,500, man. You know what? Give me just a second. Okay. You know what I'm going to do for you? I'm going to write the old $5,500 right here. Okay. I'm going to sign off on that. Me and you had a conversation that this is going to work. This is going to work. But we need to change this. And if we can make this happen, Mr. Johnson right here, I'm just going to need that old and then guess what? I'm going to go talk to my manager who I have a very good relationship with.  I'm going to go talk to him and see if I can get this handle. Is that fair? Guys, appreciate you. Go ahead and sign there. I'll be right back. Okay. Now listen to me. Well, I'm gone, right?  Tell her how good of a job I've been treating you guys, right? Okay. Cool. Hey, I appreciate you guys.  By the way, I'm not going to say one car. I'm going to say a 31 cars. Appreciate you guys. I'll be right back. I'm going to make sure that I'm going to make sure that they're in a good state and this is them. And then when I go to the desk, everybody, do me a favor. Time kills deals. I got one to two minutes max. Dude, I mean this. I watch salesman get up from working a deal and go in their manager's tower and goof off for 15 freaking minutes. Dude, I'd be pissed if I was a customer. Okay. What is your job? Be laser focused. I got to get this damn deal signed up and get them in the finance office. So you know what? I go to my manager and say, hey, guys, listen to me. I need you to know I went through the whole deal. Woo, backside of the piece of paper. See all this. Ran through A to Z. We got two options right now. Number one, we're going to split the difference. I'm going back for 52.50, okay? Or I'm going to hold firm at five grand and say I tried. Or we're going to, okay, 5,500. Or you can walk in there for 30 seconds to see if you can get the whole deal. Whatever it is, we got to make a move. We got to make a decision. We got to get this deal rode up, man. I got a lot more cars to sell today and I got to finish this one up. Let's go. And guess what? We're going to make a decision and we're going to close that client. We're going to get it in the box. Okay. We're going to move on to the next deal. And you know what? We're going to show them great customer service. We're going to treat them great. We're going to sell more cars. Okay. That's what I need you to know is every time you leave the office, this is what happens. Make sure that you master this business. So mastery is the only thing that matters. So I love you guys.  I hope this helps you guys and you really think in the moment next time you're going to leave, you're like, dang man, I need to train harder. I need to not come out of those offices. I need to make sure I close everybody in those offices. Plus do it in a timely manner. Okay. Don't stay in there for 45 minutes. Get in there. Get it closed down. Show them some love. Make sure you make everything make sense. Be the trust advisor and wrap them up. If you guys are watching this right now, this is important. You've made it this far in the video. That means you're the true one percenters. That means that you're ready to learn. There's an old saying that says when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Well, here's what I want to tell you. Guys, I've got thousands of closes. I'm a wealth. I'm a bank of knowledge. I've studied for 25 freaking years, two and a half decades, learning how to close anybody anytime, any place. Okay. I've created a training program called Project 500. It's how salespeople can earn a half a million a year selling cars. You know my last year selling cars? I made 716 grand. Okay. So teaching you to make a half a million. It's easy. But I need your mind. I need you to commit. There's mindset, skill set and habits that you're going to have to know how to do it. I teach all these in my training called Project 500. I would love to show you how to make a half a million a year. If you would like information on Project 500 and you're ready to level up, I want you to text me, Andy, I'm ready to level up. Give me information on Project 500. I'd love to personally reach out and talk to you. My personal cell phone is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Write that down.<PHONE_NUMBER>. Take the time. Shoot me a text message right now. Love to help you crush it and kill it. Let's go. Then subscribe to the channel. We've got daily sales training videos dropping. I'll see you soon.


There's no doubt that Henry Ruggs can blow past defenders after showing off his 4-2-7 speed at the combine. But there's also no doubt that there are red flags to his production profile. He never had enough production at Alabama to warrant a breakout age. His highest single season reception share was just a little over 15%. And he only tallied a little over 1700 receiving yards during his three collegiate seasons. Yes, Alabama had tons of competition. We can forgive Ruggs a little bit for lacking in production. But this isn't just lacking. Among all first round picks over the last decade and a half with this type of production profile, the best hit that we're looking at is Ted Ginn. If we want to think more optimistically though, Mike Wallace pops out as a comparable for Ruggs. His production was a little bit better in college, but his 4-3-3 speed with a slightly smaller frame helped him beat defenders deep in the NFL. That's what we're going to see from Ruggs. And the expectation for Ruggs, because he can take pressure off his teammates, should probably be that he's going to help an NFL team out more than your fantasy football school.
