Welcome to Toffey TV, this is the Everton News Daily. Damari Gray has moved a step closer to leaving Everton after Alshabab president came out and said they are close to completing the deal for the 27-year-old Winger. Gray, you made this international debut for Jamaica this summer in the Gold Cup. Hasn't been part of Sean Diter's plans for this season. It was at interest from Fulham, Crystal Palace and of course other clubs inside the Arabia, but it looks as though Alshabab have now done the deal and that is close after the president confirmed that it's about to be confirmed. So Everton will obviously get some money from that and hopefully that will help them move forward with their targets. Everton captain Seamus Coleman has confirmed he's going to be out of faith team action until around October time. The Everton captain suffered an injury to his knee in Everton's 2-2 draw against Leicester City back in May. It looked, or it was feared at the time it'd be much worse than what it is. Coleman still not been available for the faith teams so far, but he's working his way back to fitness. Obviously missing games for the Republic of Ireland as well, but hopefully he said he will be back in October to help the team for the rest of the season. So speedy recovery day to Seamus. PSV are interested in taking Jarrod Branthwaite back to the club on a permanent basis. Branthwaite had a good season in Holland on loan last season. The young defender hasn't started either of Everton's opening two games this season, hasn't got on the pitch yet. He was present at Ibrox last night to watch PSV draw 2-2 with Rangers in a UEFA Champions League qualifier. Everton have resisted a permanent offer from PSV for Branthwaite so far, but who knows what will happen. Obviously the lad has not been given a go yet in our faith team. Hopefully that isn't too far away, but Everton, depending on what kind of money is offered, Everton may well choose to cash in on the young centre back. Everton's chase of Wilfred Nonto is still ongoing according to some reports, despite him returning to faith team training with Leeds United. But today the story took an extra twist. Lewis Sinistera is thought to be interested in Everton. He himself is also training away from the faith team at the moment. He has made himself unavailable for games. The difference between him and Nonto is that Sinistera does have a release clause in his contract relegation release clause, so that is thought to be a much easier deal to do. He did score against Everton last season. He's got his first lead scull against Everton at Elinode last season. So that is one to look at. Everton also pardon me, interested in Jo and Bachy Yoko of PSV as well. And finally, Everton are interested in 16-year-old Rosenberg with field player Sve Nipon. Manchester City also tracking the young player who's been liking to Martin Odegard for Norway. He did play him Rosenberg's 3-1 defeat by Hart in the European Europa Conference League last week. He's been capped at every level of Norway at the moment, up until under 17 levels. So we'll see whether anyone, anything comes with that, but he is very, very highly rated at Everton. More than a concrete interest in the player is what the report says today. So let's see what happens with him. That is it for the news day to give the video a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't. See you later.


What's up everybody, Jason here for JapsBeesCaseBrace.com. 2020 Panini Elite Football just sold off. This is a six-box half-case briefcase. It's number two, the second half of the case. And here we go. Last-ball mojo Kev getting the Browns. All right, so there's five cards in the pack, 20 packs total, so about 100 cards in the box. And we're in a sweater, just to 75. I had a 69, nice. 21 to 69.  Steelers are going to show them how they can.  That is number two, 86. Braiding cooks to 99. Just texted her cousins, like 20 days. They're eating their likes music. She's like, no, I do it, I like more music. Oh, that's via girls on you. Jason Tolber. And we got a Brian Cook to 49. Look at Parsons, look at that. Passing the torch. Michael Parsons, I think Christian. Wait, I gave them to you. They should be in your backpack, remember? Cowboys, one of the last few teams. Thomas, look at that, buddy. Little Michael Parsons coming your way. And this beautiful tree lens for the 49ers. Eric with that one. Herbie, Bo Melton. A Christian Watson, Calvin Austin. We got a Jamar, or sorry, Justin Fields. Spellbound, two, one of the 349. Aiden Hudgensen. The Eagles take on the Detroit Lions. Chiefs here right there, rookie, George. Oscar Gardner. Scary Terry McLauren. And a Troy Paul O'Malley with a 25. All right, I'm gonna get some more 130s for the good guys, sorry. Xamir White-Pen Pals for the Raiders. I'm gonna dominate. Danny Gray. How about a turn of the century Kenny Pickett? That is seven, one off the jersey number out of 99. That's nice. And there you go, Sean Maddock on the board. Josh Jacobs. Turn of the century, Skye Moore, number to 99. You got a little big bowl of Jordan Davis. Fly goes fly. Playmakers Cooper Cup. You got a little Sam Darnold. 2021 MVP, Rogers. I feel like I haven't seen that card before. That's number to 349. Patrick Mahomes. You got a Stafford Spellbound to 75. TJ Hawkinson. Typidone. And Isaiah Spiller-Pen Pals for the Chargers. Chris with that one, see you later, man. We'll be there for the Bucks. White. Halfway through guys, let's go with the next one. So again, fresh case in numbers three and four. If you guys want to start getting into that one. You guys, so again, this is box number four and this is still break number two, the second half of the master. Just want to love it, I know. All we need to do is just one, man. Breeze Hall. Desmond Ritter. Nice. Turn of the century. Falcons is going to build. You got a Devon White. Hayley Zappi. 49. And Woods. Or Johnny. Field vision, Herbie. Here's the down one. McCreary. Yeah Kyle, let's miss some good quarterbacks on this side so far. To 24, that's DK Metcalf. War and Moon Throwback Threads. That's going to go to the Tennessee Titans, Houston Oilers, which is Eric. You got a rookie here, Daxson Hill. Justin Jefferson. Star status. Hutchinson, to 399. Here's Jefferson. Johnson. George Pickens. Nice break for the Steelers. Kenny Pickens out Pickens. We got a little Michael Parsons. Nico. Five left in a museum collection, R&B guys. Just a little FYI. I think overall the Steelers have had a great figure team throughout the both breaks. Just break alone. Alvin Harper for the Cowboys. Etched in time. Cooper Kupf, 9 out of 10. Coop Playmakers. T-Law, number to 75. Johan Daxson, to 49. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Kenny Pickett Penpals. Not only the turn of the century, now a Penpal? Man, what a break for the Steelers. So much Steelers. That was crazy. Four. I mean, Joe, he buys a lot of teams, man. And he buys a lot of the bigger teams, you know? He definitely takes the risks. He'll tell you, there's many times where he don't get rewarded at all, you know? But he gets into a lot of different breaks. And like I said, takes the shot. So it's always great to be rewarded like that. But I think it's just more like, you know, Sean just gets into a lot of different pick your teams and breaks in general where you feel like you see his name all the time. But I'm sure he'll tell you the same thing, right? Like, his name goes hitless a lot too, you know? But yeah, I mean, he's been on a good little streak.  It's funny. So you're going bark away. TJ, wow. Alrighty guys, down to the last box. So again, next break would be a fresh case. Alright guys, so again, last box here. So again, fresh case is on the website three and four. If you guys want to get that one rolling. I don't know, I forgot to get you something in here. So, I'll love it. Something. Seen a lot of quarterbacks in this case. Let's get a receiver now. But I'll probably be taking a Jenner break right now after this, so I'll upload the video and all that good stuff and then I'll take a Jenner break after this. And then we'll get some more breaks in later tonight as well. Time makers, old Java, sauce gardener, turn of the century. That's out of $1.99. Jets, Jets, Jets. Patrick with that one. But let's just hope we can get the pen pals right now. Stefan Diggs just cooked. Cooked Jalen Ramsey. Herbie, likely, I like him as a Titan. All right, here we go. Jordan Davis for my Eagles. Damian Pierce, you're starting running back. Pen pals. That is a Houston Texans, Diego with that one. And then a little Tyreek Hill, number to 10. Five of 10. Little Donner Salih. Miami Dolphins going to Anthony. Well, technically Oliver, we got you one a la vie. Just wasn't probably the one you wanted. But we gotta word it differently to the card gods. Also, these have been coming a lot messed up at the top, but just to show you right there. I guess we gotta say one a la vie auto one time. All right guys, well, like I said, the second half was a lot better. Had a lot of bigger hits.  But like I said, gold there, Damian Pierce pen pals, sauce gardener, Kenny Pickett, George Pickens. All right, Desmond Ritter, 299. Isaiah Spiller. Another Kenny Pickett right there is that your white, Michael Parsons and Calvin Austin. This was definitely a Steelers break. That is for sure. So I appreciate it guys. Like I said, second half, or sorry, second case is on the website. I believe it's already down to like 10 left, I want to say. And 10 left in Pikachu number three and 14 left in number four. So something we can do today as well. And also guys, don't shy away from that museum collection. That first half didn't have any case sits. Could have been a lot better. So I feel like the second half is going to be much more loaded. You get all those teams, it's probably like 17, 18 teams plus. And it's a five spots left for halfway guys. So I appreciate you guys. Jasper's Case Breaks.com.

Have you ever heard of pure flicks? It's a production company that exclusively makes Christian movies by which I mean they pander to the American evangelical Right by crafting narratives in which they are the angelic victims beset upon by evil atheists who hate God and also don't believe in him And also think that differing religious beliefs should be allowed to coexist without one enforcing its will on the others Because they're evil God's not dead old-fashioned faith of our fathers the Trump prophecy the case for Christ one nation under God Unplanned and many others have all been shout out in an attempt to keep Kevin Sorbo from going bankrupt You know the weird part though There are tons of terrible religious movies that aren't even made by pure flicks There are other studios out there making basically the same thing over and over There's a whole renaissance going on Rick Santorum the former senator who once almost dropped the n-bomb in public has even made a couple himself There are tons of other channels on YouTube that have covered pure flicks his various fecal droppings disguised as cinema So I'll try not to get into those too much rather I want to talk about some of the crappy Christian books I've come across over the years and point out exactly how and why they're terrible because books are cheaper to make and that means there are So many of these when I say Christian novels I don't mean stuff that utilizes Christian imagery and mythology like the mortal instruments or hush hush for all their flaws Those are about different things. I'm talking about balls to the wall God is the center of the story constant talk about the main characters relationship with Jesus There's no doubt about which religion is the correct one That's what I mean by Christian books things like the shack or left behind or a voice in the wind There are a lot of these and they're all pretty bad Mostly, I'm here to observe this phenomenon and have a few hearty chuckles This isn't an attack on anyone in particular unless otherwise stated I know every religious denomination has their own crappy media, but this is the kind I'm most familiar with My choice of topic has nothing to do with my own religious beliefs or lack thereof If you think atheists don't make cringy self-flating books just read reapers Creek You'll change your mind for what little it's worth I don't care what your religious beliefs are as long as you don't force them on to others So let's start off easy with something I read as a kid the time-bender series Time-bender sounds like a fine kids adventure on the surface and in some ways it is a kid named max mccrain Invents a time machine out of an old Volkswagen Beetle, and then they go on adventures There are four major characters in this series max is the lead as the inventor of the time machine He's the resident nerd character the guy who understands high-level math and physics yet is still in middle school for some reason He also has no social awkwardness health problems disabilities or anything else that might count as a character flaw Ali is a girl Grady is the black one Okay, he's more than that In fact, he's the only member of the main cast who has a character arc His father is dying of cancer at the start of the story and early on he finally succumbs Sending Grady into a depressive state where he loses his faith in God.  I wonder where they keep him around at one point They need some pennies to make a battery and Toby hands his over then he spends the rest of the book moaning that max Oh some his money back This is all over four cents in the first book battle before time max goes to test the time machine with the others They accidentally go back too far and see some dinosaurs then there's some technical difficulties that strand them in the past You know how it works They run into beings which are presumably angels having some sort of space battle against something called the silver dragon in an era before time began The silver dragon is pretty clearly a metaphor for Lucifer He's the source of all evil who whispers in mankind's ear to make them do wicked things. I could explain more But let's not pretend either of us cares for the most part It's just an inoffensive kids adventure one that slips out of your mind almost as soon as it enters There's a higher than average number of references to God and Jesus But there's only one thing that really stands out to me like I mentioned earlier Grady loses his father to cancer early in the story It's handled well and is surprisingly sad later when they're watching angels battle in space One of the angels tells them to pray for guidance to help them on their journey Max and Ali both pray on it because they're good Christian soldiers Grady and Toby don't now Grady's case makes perfect sense his father just died It's fine for him to have a crisis of faith dare I say it's handled well the issue comes with Toby when asked to pray He snorts through his nose and asks do I look like some sort of religious geek? Look there are a million reasons to become an irreligious person some good some bad Some people reach that conclusion through careful thinking and studying scientific or philosophical writings Some people just weren't raised in a religious household and never took time to ask themselves difficult questions about the state of the universe This book takes the one character who disagrees with the main cast's interpretation of Christianity and makes him a mean spiteful bully who doesn't disbelieve in God. He just thinks he's lame and dumb This is the same kind of crap that pure flicks films are made of the idea that the evangelical Christian Ideology is the default that all humans are born with all of its tenets are so self-evident that you don't even need to argue for them The only people who disagree don't actually disagree.  Yes. I Hate God. All I have for him is hate It's just a way to feel like some sort of oppressed victim while also being in a dominant position in society Even when I was religious this part annoyed me Anyways, Grady briefly goes to heaven sees his dad again then decides he loves God and stuff Toby continues to be a twat for the rest of the series More time travel shenanigans come about in the second book doorway to doom In this one a different guy in the Middle Ages invents a time portal using a door which then leads into Max's house His name is Jesus Christ. Really? Yeah, his name is Dr. Delirious He kidnaps the main cast and holds them hostage to convince Max to make rocket weapons for the evil King Weavern So they can conquer their neighboring kingdoms I'll admit that the parts where Delirious psychologically tortures Max into making weapons for him is pretty good And the kids coming up with an escape plan is fine Other than that this is bland and forgettable much like the first book and much like the first book It contains complaints about stupid shit that isn't real See the evil King Weavern's land is in Great Britain somewhere the exact time period is vague But it was before the unification of England when there were tons of petty kingdoms constantly fighting each other more important It was after the Christianization of Great Britain was completed King Weavern outlawed Christianity sometime before the story began and mandates worship of the Silver Dragon Get it? He's a Satanist He also boarded up the church near his castle instead of demolishing it or converting it into a dragon temple Which would have been more efficient, but whatever This would never happen in a million billion fucking years The instant and early medieval monarch tried to get rid of the religion held by all his subjects nobles administrators and neighbors He would be removed from power Maybe peacefully maybe in revolt or war, but he would be removed. They wouldn't tolerate any sort of paganism But you know gotta remind the kids that Christians are terribly oppressed in modern-day America Anyways, they defeat King Weavern and Dr. Delirious with an army that has crosses painted on their shields Constantine style The third book is called Invasion of the Time Troopers, which sounds like a rejected Goosebumps book Max takes a classmate back in time and then she sends the time machine back to the present without them on purpose Because she thinks she can do magic to get them home.  You're literally making someone up convincing yourself that they exist then getting mad about it Anyways, Time Troopers track them down, tell them they're causing too much trouble with their time travel nonsense and give them a citation alongside a strongly worded letter That is not a joke. There's a fourth book that I never read, but I've heard it's about the heroes going to Mars and converting aliens to Christianity I'll take the internet's word for it So basically all these combined kids adventure stuff with grievance Christianity and because of that the kids adventure stuff never rises beyond being average Barely average Imagine a parallel version of this series focused on being a decent story first and religious second Toby could start off as a troublemaker who changes for the better when he sees his friends act like good people They could come across villains who are being influenced by Satan and that causes them to do awful things Without getting rid of the church. Maybe they could even be clergymen So you could show that while God is always good those who profess to worship him sometimes aren't Max could try to reconcile his love for science and verifiable facts with his faith in a higher power that doesn't have definitive proof of its existence The heroes could be heroes for helping people rather than just getting into trouble and then escaping through their relationship with Jesus or whatever The irony is that this would send a stronger positive message about Christianity One that emphasized caring for your fellow humans and utilizing your faith in God to make positive changes Not only in yourself, but in the world around you. It might even make the adventure stuff better However, this alternate version misses the point Timebenders was not written to provide kids with something fun to read that also improved their relationship with God It was written to tell them all about how they are constantly under assault by dark powers and how anyone who disagrees with their Religious views as being manipulated by Satan. Please don't think about things. That's the path to evil They failed that being good books because they were never trying to be But they're still better than left behind Left behind is probably the most famous example of terrible Christian books You might know of it through the terrible movie adaptation with Kirk Cameron The three sequels to the terrible movie adaptation with Kirk Cameron or the terrible movie adaptation with Nicholas Cage It's a story all about the rapture a prophesized event in which all the true Christians are taken up to heaven Leaving all the heretics and sinners and people born into the wrong religions to deal with the rise of the Antichrist if you think that sounds cool You're not alone. That sounds like a crazy fantasy adventure story and in many ways it does succeed It has a compelling villain who isn't just Satan under a different name It has main characters who commit heroic deeds sometimes It has a story which is only sort of result by an act of God But you know that I wouldn't bring it up here if it didn't have at least some awful stuff in it The series is 16 novels long and ran from 1995 to 2007. There's even a spin-off called left behind the kids Individual books are long too So I have only read the first two books and detailed synopses of the rest if I get any details wrong I apologize. I would have read them as a kid, but my mom wouldn't let me She thought they were too violent and would corrupt me with heresy since we didn't believe in the rapture Not her exact words, but that was the basic idea She may have had a point though. The books are bizarrely Anti-Catholic claiming that they don't get raptured with all the quote real Christians Except for the Pope who only got raptured because he decided he agreed with Martin Luther right before the rapture came Like I said, the books start with the rapture making a large part of the world's population disappear and throwing the rest into chaos Among the chaos a Romanian politician named Nikolai Carpathia becomes the head of the United Nations and reforms it into a global Government with its headquarters in a city called New Babylon built on the ruins of old Babylon Then Carpathia becomes a tyrant ruling through force and fear at first then later Resurrecting after being assassinated and being worshipped as the Messiah Except he was literally created by Satanist through genetic engineering because he's the antichrist and he resurrects through the power of Satan Instead of the power of God the way Jesus did or by being God in human form the way Jesus is it it kind of depends on your position on the Holy Trinity But then rebels fight against him and stuff I couldn't even begin to go over all the twists turns and absolute insanity contained in these pages So I'll just go over the most pertinent bits The entire idea of the rapture is what I'll refer to as righteousness porn It's saying the almighty creator of the universe thinks that I'm a good person and all will be brought to an eternity of bliss by His side while you suffer an agony for not being like me That's what you get for letting premarital sex happen in your neighborhood The very concept is so up its own ass that even people who are only familiar with left behind through cultural osmosis hate it You don't need to dive into the smaller details to find Christian dominionism distasteful and I could stop there That's the basic idea for why left behind and basically every other piece of Christian media sucks It does nothing but push a message about how much better people who agree with the creators are than everybody else But it's more fun to continue mocking it So let's keep going in the form of a numbered list number one The main heroes are called raffer steel cloy steel buck williams ryan driller and bruce barns Four of those are real characters from the books.  Have fun figuring out which is which Number two Carpathia the antichrist takes control of earth by being elected the secretary general of the united nations And then just sort of taking it over He reforms it into the global community That's actually the name and then he's suddenly the dictator of earth ruling from his capital of new Babylon This is weird for a couple reasons the un in the real world is just a form for diplomacy It has very little real power if carpathia managed to take over a real country in the same manner He would have access to certain instruments of power such as the military police Tax collectors and any industries that might already be nationalized. The un has none of that It would all need to be built from scratch I get that carpathia is supposed to be very convincing and good at getting people to follow him But there would be resistance. That's the whole point of the story without any sort of leverage There's no way he could crown himself the potentate of the world Seriously, who uses the word potentate? Number three new Babylon is also a weird idea since it's just a new city built in the middle of the desert on the site of old Babylon not for any practical reasons just because the prophecy says so Also, the ruins of ancient Babylon are contained in the modern city of Hela about 35 miles south of Baghdad People already live there. So the bit about it being in the middle of the desert isn't even accurate Number four when the rapture happens all the children and infants are taken to heaven by default since they're innocent Makes sense unless you believe in original sin Which Catholics do So this feels like one more way of shitting on them But what about the unborn fetuses? You probably weren't asking Well, those all disappear causing pregnant women's bellies to deflate as the unborn children ascend Which makes me wonder what form they take in heaven. Are they still half finished fetuses? Do they stay that way forever? Do you have to keep the body you have when you died in heaven? Do you just not have one? I don't know, but it made my old priest uncomfortable when I asked so I'll do it again now Number five this line exists and deserves to be shared To say that the Israelis were taken by surprise was like saying that the great wall of china was long There are other bad lines. That's just my favorite Number six in 1976 One of the authors released a book about how christian married couples should have sex and based it off of stuff in the bible And this book I read in its entirety It includes rants about how french kissing is bad going down on a woman is an act of submission Which atrophies the family unit birth control leads to satanism and it even has worksheets to track your kegel exercises That's not directly related to the topic at hand, but it's still funny Speaking of which remember that time kirk cameron made a movie about kidnapping children telling them they were dead and forcing them to work on his farm That's really the plot. I'm not making it up Number seven in one of the final books.  How does that work? And wouldn't the holy ghost be the one killing bad guys? Oh, that's right. The holy trinity is for heretics Jesus also only speaks in quotes from the bible like some sort of action figure Hey j-man remember in matthew 543 when you said love your enemies pray for those who persecute you How does that gel with massacring armies that pose no threat to you? Number eight the main characters don't care about civilian casualties that come around due to their actions because if they were good guys Then they would all go to heaven Um, wouldn't that mean that murder isn't bad?   I guess Crampus is also there which is odd since crampus comes from german folklore not the bible That's why his name is german He has epilepsy too There's nothing offensive or hateful in here as far as I found It's just boring Imagine the summary I just gave spread out over 336 pages with nothing else added that might be interesting or entertaining not even on accident It's just bible fanfiction with the excitement level of a coffee shop au This book was written by glenn beck and it contains surprisingly little anti-semitism considering Beck claims he wrote it to teach children about the true meaning of christmas as opposed to the commercialized materialistic version He felt is focused on nowadays Which sounds fine until you remember that glenn beck and his news organization views people who don't put up enough decorations in december As soldiers in the war on christmas I guess he just hates commercialism when he wants people to forget that he has a net worth of 250 million dollars Please the only way to fight against the destruction of your entire way of life is to buy my book that covers events from the bible That you already knew about and in the end that's what makes christian fiction so awful It refuses to push boundaries or give you something new It's written for the people who tried to get south park taken off the air because they were offended by the bad language words The people who try to ban books from schools that feature gay characters The people who tried to end the dixie chicks's career when they dared to speak out of turn and criticize the american government The people who tried to get a lil nos x music video banned because he gave satan a lap dance Whatever their protests these people are the moralizing cancel culture freaks and they always have been Most of it isn't a story. It's propaganda. I know I said that already. I just want to hammer it in These don't make arguments or observations They assume that reality is a certain way and that anyone who doesn't see things the way they do is either stupid or evil Sometimes both There's a subset of the population that simply cannot comprehend that others have different beliefs than them Whether they be political religious or even something unimportant such as opinions on movies and video games You have any idea how many death threats. I've gotten over the years a lot This isn't an issue of disagreeing or having a different interpretation This is people that simply can't understand that other people have their own thoughts and feelings And that if you just go around shouting you not only won't change any minds But you're miserable to be around It's great that pure flicks has become bigger in the past few years because their movies are Hilarious and easier to laugh at with an audience than with a book While I hate many of the ideas and messages being pushed bringing them to the attention of the mainstream is a way to air them out Most people see arguments against abortion and evolution as ridiculous when david ar white is filmed like the villain in a horror movie It says here that you work in the church now So an army ranger who's now running an outreach at a church in the city I'm thinking of starting some boxing training for the sake of fairness Here are a couple of christian movies that I like prince of egypt is an epic retelling of a classic bible story Courageous is an exploration of fatherhood and how to be a good person that you don't even need to agree with the religious perspective To find something valuable in silence is an intelligent analysis and criticism of faith from a time where christians really were mistreated by their society As for good christian books Uh, I'm not sure I've come across any of those Share your suggestions in the comments But I haven't touched on every terrible christian novel out there not by a long shot They have such a low barrier to entry that there are literally hundreds of thousands to be found and enjoyed slash laughed at I haven't even talked about the christian children's horror series written by my sixth grade english teacher Wait No No, no, no, no, no, no.

Give Husevik the Oscar, you cowards. I feel like I need to start this with something in the general vicinity of an apology to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Last year, when I broke down the nine Oscar nominees for Best Picture, I said on multiple occasions that there was no way that the voters would do the right thing and select the actual best of the bunch. And then they did. Parasite won Best International, of course. Then Bong Joon-ho got Best Director and then the film got Best Picture No Qualifier necessary. And I was shocked. We all were and many of us were ecstatic because this group had gone from never nominating a Korean film for an Oscar ever, not even once, to giving one the big win that it deserved like what a turnaround. And while South Korea is enjoyable but hardly groundbreaking 2021 entrance the man standing next isn't here, the country still does have some unexpected representation in the year's lineup and that's awesome. And honestly, I think the whole batch of Best Picture nominees this year is pretty great. Like it has been a long time since I have genuinely enjoyed everything up for the award. And while there are some deeply deserving movies that should have at least been in the remaining slots that the Academy never seems to use, I wouldn't be up in arms if any of the options took home the big prize the way I certainly would have been last year. Basically what I'm saying is that this year there's no Joker. Now I've only reviewed one of these movies before, had the year played out differently and movies released when and how they had initially planned et cetera, et cetera. I would likely have done more though. I guess it's hard to know. There are two in particular that I would have loved to really dig into but both dealt with subjects that deserved more than the surface level I could have given them at the time. Everyone should be well aware by now that my reviews are ultimately about me. Generally, not a problem. Like people get annoyed about it but I don't feel bad and that's what matters. However, when talking about subjects that I know very little about or that deal with communities of which I am not a part, I do try to ensure that what I'm saying about myself is still able to add to the capital C conversation slash capital D discourse in some way. And sometimes I just don't feel up to that especially in the past year. With a video like this though, I don't really feel that compulsion. There's no deep analysis or anything going on here. This is that breakdown of my thoughts on the nominees for Best Picture at the 93rd Academy Awards but also you're here, so that's fun. Now I'm going to go through them in alphabetical order but at the end I will do a ranking just for funsies so stick around for that or don't.  That's such a good segue, right? Anyways, the first time I heard about the father was on the day it was nominated for Best Picture and I thought, wow, what a boring name for a movie. Like, don't we get enough movies about dads? Let's get never rarely, sometimes always in that spot, huh? Or if we're married to a the noun, why not the assistant?  But I knew I was doing this video so I had to watch it regardless. And sorry I spoiled it for your earlier squad fan but TBH, this movie is really good. For one thing, it is short. We don't have nearly enough 90-something minute prestige movies. The next shortest nominee is 110 and the average is just under 120. And there's something psychological about that three-digit barrier that just makes coming into a movie like the father feel less like a chore than it otherwise would have. And also it's based on a play which makes the self-importance of the title slightly less grown-inducing because the father is exactly the sort of title you would expect to see on a Broadway marquee and you just kind of accept it. And even if the opening credits hadn't told me the film was based on a play I would have known. No, a lot of shade has been thrown at theatrical adaptations in recent years but I don't mean that this feels like we are watching a stage play with fancier camera angles. Rather, the narrative structure is intensely theatrical. Anthony, played by Anthony Hopkins, is suffering from dementia and the father is told primarily from his perspective but completely out of order or even context. We see the same scene play out multiple times without even realizing it until it's over and the whole thing creates a genuinely unnerving experience as we're never really sure where or when we are and also who and what is how it seems. The common stage practice of actors handling multiple parts is far more jarring on screen but that plays to its benefit here. I started feeling paranoid and wondering if actually maybe something far more sinister was going on at the exact same time that we saw Anthony becoming increasingly suspicious of the same and this makes it hugely effective at giving folks without dementia a little glimpse into what people with it are going through while avoiding the traditional descent into madness type of horror thing. Anthony is not dangerous and in fact he is in much more danger than he puts others in and also he doesn't really change only our understanding of his condition and the situation does. The realization of which makes it even more powerful. It's interesting that Fred Hampton, a person I had never heard of because the American education system is bad is featured in two of the nominated films and I am glad that I saw this one first and also just like in general it feels like a big deal that we have a biopic about a lesser known black revolutionary that actually acknowledges the socialist politics so often stripped from for example the stories of Martin Luther King Jr. Interestingly, it's also not the only biopic here to specifically espouse socialist policies even if it is underselling them here where they were oversold elsewhere. Yeah, the Black Panthers were Marxist Leninists and it could have gone way deeper but I'm not sure that doing so would have benefited the story that the film is telling. I don't know, Agnes Varda's 1968 documentary Short Black Panthers is on the criterion channel and you should watch that. Of course, maybe the story that they're telling is the problem here. I won't pretend like I didn't wish it was the Black Messiah and Judas that there was more time with Hampton than the narc who ate it in his death. There's not really a lot to the character of Bill O'Neill which you almost don't notice because of how good Liqueith Stanfield's performance is but it's a little weird to focus so much on this person with no clear ideology or even desire beyond self-preservation in a biopic of a revolutionary who was cut down before his prime. Which gets to the other oddity. Both Stanfield and Daniel Kaluya are fantastic and I get why both received Oscar nomes even if the categorization's a bit sus but when the title card told me that Fred Hampton was murdered by the United States government at age 21, I was confused. Daniel Kaluya sure didn't look like a 21 year old nor does Stanfield look like the 17 years old that O'Neill apparently was and this movie would have hit very differently if younger actors had been cast. Like Ashton Sanders who broke out in 2016 as the teenage Chiron in Moonlight and it would have looked more appropriate and we know that he was available because the dude is literally in this movie. No, these aren't unique criticisms and I think that there's actually a decent argument to be made that younger performers would have resulted in the anti-capitalist rhetoric we do see feeling childish and immature because of our collective and innate disrespect for young folks and their ideas but I think it's interesting how these choices affect the overall film because considered in a vacuum, this thing is good as hell.  It shows the corruption at the heart of our justice system and how deeply racist the response to the Black Panthers was and like, yeah, duh. But it's still important for us to see movies that hammer that point home, that show the US government as the villains that they have so often been while humanizing the people that they vilified. I know I complained earlier about the idea of celebrating old white men but I won't pretend like I wasn't looking forward to Mank though in my slight defense, it wasn't because of the subject of the film but the man behind the camera. Mank is David Fincher's first feature since Gone Girl and a new Fincher film is always exciting. In addition, this is a script written by his late father that he has been trying to produce literally his entire career and I was very curious to see what would come of that and it's fantastic. I don't know, what do you want from me? I know that there are people who find Fincher's incredibly technical style of filmmaking distancing. His craft is basically unmatched and his movies tend to feel perfect because every inch of every frame has been poured over to be so and while he has gotten a lot less in your face with his ability as of late, this movie does feel technically flawless which you may or may not enjoy about it. I think it's great and I highly recommend the New York Times profile about him and his impossible eye because it really gets into a lot of how and why he works the way he does. Anyone vaguely interested in the craft of filmmaking needs to read what he has to say. There has been some mild controversy over the fact that citizen Kane screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, the titular Mank, was not nearly as political as the film makes him out to be and so his rants against capitalism probably didn't happen. But I think that there's value in making the smartest man in the room say things that are good and that more people should believe. And yeah, maybe that's a horrendously slippery slope but TBH people who believe things that are bad are already doing the same thing on the opposite side and also Hamilton? But the reality is that Mankiewicz here is being given all of the credit for writing citizen Kane, a film that centers on the corruption of wealth and the damage that it can and does do on any and all scales. So regardless of his particular support for presidential candidates, the writing that he claims was his own matches with the man that we have been presented. So I don't really see a problem with making him philosophically coherent. I don't know, maybe that's just me. It is deeply ironic that Minari was categorized as a foreign language film at the Golden Globes because Minari is such a fundamentally American story and one specifically about being othered by people because you don't look or sound like them that just because you're American doesn't mean you're treated as one.    Like it is impossible to divorce any discussions of Minari from the dramatic increase in anti-Asian violence that we have been seeing recently in the United States and elsewhere. The other night I was walking through Midtown when I heard someone shouting on the sidewalk and I looked up from TikTok or whatever and I saw a man screaming at a group of Asian kids probably around college age saying that he was going to hate crime them, et cetera, et cetera. Only one of them even looked at him and the others just kept going. And while it became clear that this wasn't as targeted as it initially seemed because the man then turned his attention to a dog that he threatened to kill and then in turn to each new person who walked by shouting some vile thing about what should happen to them, it was a pretty shocking moment for me and seemingly not for them. As horrific as all this is it's not really new, just more visible to those of us who aren't directly affected by it. I highly recommend Eugene Lee Yang's video on the subject as well as Anna Akana's shorter but more pointed piece which feels like required viewing right about now. And I think Minari does too. As I said, it is a deeply American story. A man moves his family to Arkansas to start a farm to capitalize on an underserved market. Korean immigrants looking for fresh local produce that reminds them of home. It is inspired by the life of its director, Lee Isaac Chung and all of it just feels so true, especially in the small moments of conversation quite or otherwise and even just the looks that people give each other. And many of these moments center around othering which takes a variety of forms. Obviously the family gets stares and questions from the white folks but young David also lashes out at his grandmother for not being the kind of grandmother that he expects and wants her to be when she comes from Korea to be with her family. In addition, the primary white character Paul is looked down upon for the intensity of his religious devotion but the film treats him and everyone with genuine compassion. It is such a rare thing to see but it is beautiful and it reveals the complexity of people and the way they relate to each other while simultaneously emphasizing the resilience of the Yi family and the caste and the community and everyone else. It's unfair when a movie or any piece of art is forced to bear the weight of an idea rather than simply getting to be the thing that it is and oftentimes it can't stand up to the baggage society places upon it. But Menari can. If Hillbilly Elegy actually cared about representing hillbillies in a meaningful way, humanizing them and their struggles, it probably would have looked something like Nomadland. Many of the movies that were nominated this year and a whole lot that weren't are ultimately about the failings of our society whether justice, economic, healthcare systems, whatever. Sometimes these failings are dramatic. Political trials are straight up assassinations of American citizens. But for most people, the effects are much quieter and Nomadland is interested in those stories. It's why most of the characters are slightly fictionalized versions of the real people portraying them. Director Chloe Zhao has a habit of casting non-professionals and in doing so here, she is giving people the chance to tell their truth through conversations with one of the most interesting actors working today, Francis McDormand. And it is incredibly powerful and forces us to face the people who falter the cracks who we often forget about and see how they cope with that with a world that doesn't care about them or their difficulties. We see the communities that they build in response a quiet revolution that removes them from the system. But they're still a part of it on some level. And that gets to a small but also huge issue that I have with the film. During the pandemic, I spent a couple of nights working in a fulfillment center for an independent electronics retailer packing boxes into the backs of FedEx trucks. It was a huge facility taking five minutes at a decent clip to walk from one end to the other passing by millions of pieces of inventory as well as the massive machines that helped move them all around. It was an eye-opening experience for a lot of reasons. And in the same way that people say everyone should spend some time in a customer-facing position to make them a little more empathetic to the difficulties of that experience, I think that everyone should take a few shifts in a warehouse because you will see what all of that online shopping we do actually means. And it's a lot. But as big as that warehouse is, it is just a fraction of what Amazon's working with. And it was kind of wild to see the inside of Amazon's operations in Nomadland where Fern works during seasonal rushes. And I understand that people in the Nomadic lifestyle do turn to Amazon as a consistent source of work because it is the second largest employer in the US. And there are a lot of opportunities available at any given moment. But Fern's line about how good Amazon's pay is felt like something that came from corporate in exchange for that warehouse access.    Promising Young Woman is the only nominated film that I actually reviewed. So if you wanna know what I think I've got 20 something minutes about it for you, my feelings haven't really changed since despite all of the criticism levied against the film in general and the ending in specific. There are a couple of things that I didn't really delve into that I arguably should have, the role other women played in Nina's suffering and just like complicity in general as well as the whole cop thing. But in my defense, I dedicated an entire video to the former when I discussed the assistant. And I actually didn't really expect the presence of police to be quite as controversial as it ended up being because I really don't think the film is as pro-cop as its harshest critics have made it seem. In any case, the film has created an unexpectedly deep divide between its fans and detractors because there's really no neutrality. Folks like me love it and the rest book and hate it. And I know a lot of the people in that latter camp have very specific experiences that inform those feelings and I am not here to invalidate them. That said, the admittedly small sample size of my YouTube comments section and the even smaller sample size of people who have directly messaged me outside of YouTube to tell me their thoughts on the film, make it clear that promising young woman was cathartic and meaningful for a lot of people. So maybe calling it the worst movie of the year is the real invalidation, Huzack? There are a few times a year where a film's credits will roll and I'm just unable to speak.  So the idea that I would be struck dumb is kind of wild, right? And it happens and you can actually tell when it's happened by following me on both TikTok and Letterbox. If you see a film get added to the latter with no 30-second hot take accompanying it on the former, it was just too much. Sound of Metal was one of those movies. The premise makes you expect something sadder than what you're actually getting. Rubin is a drummer in a metal band living with his life and musical partner in a bus when his hearing starts to deteriorate rapidly. In an incredibly short period of time he goes from fully capable of hearing to having nothing at all. And you can imagine how, for a drummer, that would be very bad. And the film depicts the fallout of this change, although fallout might not be the right word because it's not like this is a catastrophe. Rubin ends up at a community home for people with hearing loss and learned sign language and developed serious friendships. And honestly, it's all really beautiful and meaningful and felt like something I'd never seen on screen before. Sure, there have been deaf people in movies but giving the community this level of specifically positive representation is unexpected and oh so necessary. And of course, the beauty doesn't last but it says nothing about the community at large and everything about Rubin specifically. And we are experiencing the entire thing through some of the most intricate and impactful sound design I have ever heard. Like generally, you just want sound to be there well produced and mixed to keep you in the story without drawing attention to the construction. Like if you were thinking about the fact that those footsteps were almost certainly added in post, then you're probably not paying enough attention to what's going on. The sound of metal brings you into Rubin's experience through a number of methods from the expected filtering and distortion and just cutting out of audio that we're used to hearing as well as using entirely different kinds of microphones on set to capture the sound itself differently. It all comes together to make a film that is overwhelming both executionally and emotionally. I initially put off seeing the trial of the Chicago Seven because of the Aaron Sorkin of it all. His incredibly specific, very verbose style of writing is something that either clicks with you or it doesn't and at the time of release, I wasn't sure where I stood and didn't feel like finding out the hard way. And then Mank came along a month later and scratched that quick-witted dialogue itch I might have had so I didn't really see any reason to go back and then TBH had just sort of forgot about it until the nominations were announced. But it turns out now was actually the perfect time because Fred Hampton shows up and I had a lot more context for him than I would have at release. A few years ago, I did my civil service as a citizen of the United States and went to the Manhattan Courthouse for jury duty or at least the selection portion of it. I had had a prior commitment out of state during the multiple weeks that the trial was expected to take place and I appreciated that the lawyers were willing to just let me leave town. Though frankly, it was an injury case involving someone's leg and at the time I walked with a pretty severe limp that I didn't sue anyone over so I was probably going to be booted anyway. Regardless, even seeing that process of the justice system was fascinating and made me understand a little bit why things work the way they do. Stories like the trial of the Chicago Seven though make all that feel completely irrelevant because if you get a conservative judge overseeing a case, there is only so much that even the clearest eye jury could get through and frankly, we're way past the point where civil disagreement can exist but I already talked about that in a rap song so we can move on. The trial of the Chicago Seven is one of those movies that feels great by default and probably would have been a shoe-in for the win a few years back. Like, it's got an A-list cast of actors giving typically great performances of a well-written script that feels oh so timely and directed competently by the man who wrote it. It is well-paced and keeps you engaged even as I think aspects of the narrative falter by virtue of condensing this many months-long story into just a couple of hours. The biggest issue is that there's no clear sense of time passing until someone says, ugh, been doing this for six months and I'm like, what? And then they move on. And Asurkin is notably a centrist and that shows up in his work. He is against obviously bad things like overt racism and governmental abuse but isn't here to say that the justice system itself is bad just the way it was utilized here. However, I think with the world as it is the film is making the argument he didn't want it to. Even one bad judge indicts the entire system and we are seeing the ramifications play out across this country with the huge number of 45 appointed justices resulting from a refusal by the former majority leader to confirm anyone in the final few years of a majority backed presidency making all kinds of horrendous calls that will indelibly damage the fabric of our society. It is genuinely horrendous that we have to worry that completely nonsensical legal arguments could end up becoming law because the so-called Supreme Court that deserves no respect whatsoever is chanting at the bit to dismantle the regulatory system. Aaron Sorkin is a bit more optimistic about all of this than I am, probably because he's old and has a lot of money but I don't think his movie is and I like that about it. So yeah, that's it. Them's the nominees.  Definitely let me know in the comments both how you would rank the films yourself but also how you expected my ranking to have been based on what I said here. Last year folks were generally six for nine in their guesses with slots two to four being a little less obvious than the others. Honestly, I'm not sure how y'all's expectations for me will go this year but I would be surprised if anyone were to nail it both because I spent a lot of time not talking about the movies and because I'm not even convinced I've got it right. Numbers one and eight easy but basically every other entry could have moved at least a slot or two and I would have felt equally good or bad about the whole thing and I know this because I switched two options that are on very different parts of the list at the last minute and felt nothing. But anyway, it is too late to back out now. So here is my official ranking. Number eight, Trial of the Chicago Seven. Seven, Nomadland. Six, The Father. Five, Judas and the Black Messiah. Four, Mank. Three, Promising Young Woman. Two, Sound of Metal. And one, Minari. Thank you so much for watching. Thank you particularly to my patrons. My mom, Hammer and Marco. Kat Saracada, Benjamin Schiff. Anthony Cole, Magnolia Denton. Elliot Fowler, Greg Lucina. Liam Knipe, Kojo, Phil Bates, Willow, Iron the Sword, Tomatown and the folks who'd rather be read than said. If you liked this video, great, if not, oh well. If you wanna see more, please subscribe. Maybe in the next one, I'll have an actual set. I don't know, I moved, we'll figure it out. Bye folks.


So, we call it a supermoon because the technical term pergy-siggy is kind of boring and complicated. But what it means is that sometimes the moon is further away from us and it varies by about 50,000 kilometers. And when it's further, it appears a little bit smaller and fainter. And when it's closer, it's a bit bigger and brighter. Now, the variation is about 30% what you can see with your eyes, but you really only notice it if you can compare the two moons next to each other. So the best time to see the supermoon is actually at sunset when that moon is rising above the horizon. Because even though their supermoon can occur at a new moon when we don't see it or a full moon, you only really want to see it when it's a full moon and a full moon always rises at sunset.


I was in Baltimore, Maryland, a number of months ago. And I was in the community where Freddie Gray was killed. And in that community, and this is true all over this country, all over this country, you could not find a grocery store. You got that? No grocery store. You could not buy fresh vegetables. All you had is these little stores selling beer and potato chips at very high prices. In that community and similarly, all over this country, you could not go to a bank and cash a check because there were no banks in that community. All there were were the payday lender crooks in that community. And again, not just in that community in Baltimore, but all over this country, many of the buildings were boarded up, unemployment, off the charts, schools failing, inadequate access to health care. If we can give tax breaks to billionaires and fight a war we should never have fought, we can rebuild inner-city America.

e's no guarantee you know it's kind of like the enemy you know because I dealt and we have a lot of Samsung products in those by the way our washer and dryer or Samsung our fridge and our um our range is is Samsung so like we have a lot of Samsung products it's not me that really bought them a lot of the stuff was gifts and for some reason our family must really like Samsung because they keep buying Samsung shit um and it's kind of cool I can control the washer and dryer from my phone it's actually kind of neat um I don't you can do that with other brands of dryers and washers I'm sure too but like I don't know like it's kind of the enemy you know I've dealt with their customer support enough now that it's sort of like the enemy you know I know what to expect whereas like I don't know what to expect when I call LG they might just tell me to fuck off and give me nothing that happens there are plenty of warranty claims you try and they just tell you so like I at least I know Samsung is going to give me something even if it's not something that satisfies me it's better than just telling me to fuck off which they very well could have done oh we don't make that part anymore you're shit out of luck and there's places that are like that oh yeah we'll service it if we still have the parts if we don't have the parts look at the fine print in your warranty if we still carry the parts we'll service it if we don't fuck you that's actually in some of the warranties not the fuck you part but basically a yeah it's a warranty of service for parts and repairs you know asterisks small print assuming those parts are still manufactured so like the enemy you know I know what to expect from Samsung so it's kind of like a I'm roped in because I already know what to expect from them so I don't know handsaw scared me now you're never going to use one again but did you have like a bad sawing accident if you're not careful you can really do some damage with any saw a chainsaw I have used the chainsaw but I don't know I don't own a chainsaw I do have like tree like I have a hand tree tree saw I can use for outside for trimming the trees and stuff I've got tools the biggest thing for me is screwdrivers I don't know what it is but every time I get like a really nice set of screwdrivers within a year I'm missing like all the Phillips ones and I have no idea why they just vanish I don't know if it's my children I don't know what the hell is going on but I just lose all my Phillips screwdrivers and I have like you know I have a fine tool set too I've got I got a big iFixit kid I use when I'm working on computers and stuff I still have all of those but it's kind of you know there's Phillips head in there so it's not like I don't have Phillips head screwdrivers but it's kind of like every time I get a nice screwdriver set my Phillips ones always go missing and all I have is a bunch of flatheads and I don't I don't understand it I literally don't know where they go it's like I'm just like I used to have I used to have a really I used to have two of them two sets of those little tiny screwdrivers the tiny flathead and the tiny philips head they're all missing now and I have no idea where they went I don't even remember using them this happens when you have kids I suppose if I didn't have kids I probably would never lose any of my tools because they'd always be right where I left them and to be fair I had a work bench out of my garage that I can't really use until what we're ordering a dumpster like a giant like if you're roughing your house kind of dumpster and just gutting this house before winter so then I'll be able to use my workbench again but then I have a whole table in this back room in my office because this office has two rooms and the back room I use mostly for storage and I got a table back there that has tools on it that I use down in my office to build my sets and all that stuff so excuse me so I've got tools like all over the place you cut your thumb down to the bow so I cut my thumb down to the bone when I was a kid opening the icy with a butcher knife because for some reason when I was like eight I thought it was a good idea to use a butcher knife to open an icy you know when I say icy it's not the drink the uh the things you put in your freezer like the kool-aid drinks you put in your freezer that are like these long tubes and you can cut them open and eat them we call them icies I don't know if they're actually called icies but um yeah I cut it open it with a butcher knife and I put to the hospital that was that was pretty bad you have a nice ergonomic right so one thing I do I do want and like I see this because I watched Linus Tech Dev videos so Linus keeps a screwdriver on him that's a jack-of-all-trades right so you unscrew the back end and you pull it out and it's got all the bits that you would need for like all your traditional screwdriver stuff so all your different size flat heads and and um all your traditional size Phillips heads and that's what I want actually like an all-in-one screwdriver like that I do have some screwdrivers that you put bits in but again always seem to lose the phillips head bits but I think if it's an all-in-one screwdriver where you store the bits in the back of the screwdriver I'm pretty sure that I probably wouldn't lose the bits then right like they would all just be there I would assume maybe I'm wrong but I kind of want one of those they're like like example you know when I'm working on the computer stream when I'm when I'm re when I'm doing that stream next week or whatever yeah I'll have my iFixit kit but it would be cool to have that screwdriver you know with all the other bits on it too as well so I don't always have to use the iFixit kit for everything the new e3 2022 is coming soon I mean not yet ice pops that's what you call them otter pops yeah we just call them I mean are they called ice let me look up quick there's different brands of them to be to be clear yeah fun pops ice pops freeze pops that's that's another name for them ice cherry sour apple blue raspberry pops yeah there are icy versions yeah so there's an icy version icy branded version of them but yeah I think we will probably know more is fun pops freeze pops those are like that's like the brand they have a walmart fun pops freeze pops well there's different there's a whole bunch of different ones so yeah I guess fun pops freeze pops don't matter um yeah yeah I use scissors today they usually open up icys when I was a kid I couldn't find the scissors so I was like it was it was really bad I was bleeding like a madman oh my god I'm so bleeding do I solder or solder as some people say uh I have I don't do it I don't do it very often someone say I'm really good at it um there's a lot of reasons to do it like even with electronics or there's a lot of reasons to do it uh to desolder and resolder so I know how to do it I do have a soldering iron um and obviously the appropriate different metal wires and all that again not something I do a ton but it is something I can do um but again I haven't done it in a little while I wouldn't say I'm I'm expert at it but I mean I can do it it's not like put it this way I'm not adverse to doing it I I can do it I have some of the tools to do it anyways oh I gotta grab my phone it's been on the charger over there so I don't know if anyone's been texting me or anything so let me go grab that quick all right so I'll be right back once I gotta be like literally 30 seconds we're good got it got it got a good fully charged oh yeah giggity giggity um let's see here mic drop yeah I did drop the bike there for a second um and center do you have any body modification I don't have any tattoos or piercings no no I do not um I used to have an electric screwdriver I'm from I used to have that too I used to have an electric screwdriver too I don't I don't anymore but I used to um the sexy man is live with the pompadour look at the pompadour you see this pompadour how could anyone on my channel dislike the pompadour I'm like grouse rebel um all right I thought I thought we were to call this stream we went up we went already half hour longer than I plan tonight I don't know if julie is upset with me I hope not I plan to be done a half hour ago she hasn't said anything yet so I'm

Hi, my name is Time Stewart for cleaning business today. I'm sitting here in the bathroom and with me I have three cleaning products that anyone who's familiar with cleaning homes has certainly used many times. If you go back to your high school chemistry class, you might remember the pH scale. On one end you had a value of one, which was something that was very acidic. In the middle you had a value of seven, which was neutral. It was neither acidic or alkaline and all the way on the other end you had a value of fourteen, which was something that was very alkaline. This pH scale is logarithmic, so every time you go from a value of say seven up to eight or down to six you're really going up by a factor of ten. So if you go out two numbers from seven you're actually up to a value of a hundred times more or out three numbers, you're up to a thousand, so you can kind of get a flavor. When you start getting out to the ends of one and fourteen, those are very powerful products that can do a lot of damage if not used correctly. Now that we've talked about what acid cleaners do and what you want to use them for and what you want to be careful not to damage with them, let's talk about some techniques that you can use to use them safely. When you're using an acid cleaner, you typically get into trouble in one of several ways. One would be when you're dispensing it, the product will run down the side of the bottle and that's okay as long as you don't let it drip on anything that you don't want it to. A good technique is to use a cleaning towel and to wipe it clean so if there are any drips you take them off. You want to be careful where you sit them. A lot of times when you're cleaning you really don't think about where you're putting your product down but if I was cleaning with this particular product acid base, if it was running down the side and if I sit it there I very well might be buying myself a new marble top. What I would want to do is make sure that I place it someplace safe and that's why I have my caddy here. If you return your acid base cleaners to your caddy you're always safe because that's not going to do any damage. If you notice also underneath my caddy I have a cleaning towel. That's always a very good technique to use whether you're using acid base cleaners or not because you can always have soil on the bottom of your caddy or product can run down the side. That's just another easy way to make sure that you aren't getting cleaning agents on surfaces that you don't want to. Certainly anything that you spray you have to be particularly careful with. Now you wouldn't be using a nub and cleaner in the bathroom but even in the kitchen a lot of times you have stone countertops that you want to make sure that if you're spraying this you're doing it in a way where you aren't getting over spray on any surfaces that can be damaged. One of the easiest ways to accidentally etch a soft stone is to have acid on the bottom of your bottle. I've squirted a little bit of acid in the bottom of my caddy here and this happens all the time. I put my bottle in there and it's got acid on the bottom. If I take it out and I'm cleaning and I'm not thinking and I forget to put it in my caddy and I set it on a marble floor or countertop like that and leave it there for any amount of time. It will actually leave a ring in the stone. If you notice those bubbles forming that's the chemical reaction between the soft marble and the acid cleaner. We've left the acid toilet bowl cleaner on the marble for the last several minutes. We're going to go ahead and you see the bubbling has stopped so we're going to pick it up now and let's see what we have. Put this back in the caddy. Don't want to do any more damage and we've already done. I'm going to remove this and if you can see there is a ring in the marble that that would require to be cut back down and polished if it could be restored. If not you would have to replace the whole piece of marble. In any case you're looking at hundreds if not for replacing marble maybe even thousands of dollars worth of damage for making a simple mistake of leaving your acid bowl cleaner just laying on the stone. The trick to this is to make sure that if you know that you've got a drip going down the side of your bottle or on the bottom you want to wipe that off. If you have any acid dripped in the bottom cleaner in the bottom of your caddy you want to make sure you keep that clean. Make sure that you use your caddy to put your products in. Don't put them directly on surfaces. It's a good idea to put a towel underneath your caddy. If you follow these procedures you can use acid cleaning products safely. They'll save you a lot of time and they'll get you a good outcome and you won't be damaging stone and chrome fixtures.


Item number SCP-261 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures Any access to SCP-261 must be approved by staff with level 2 security clearance or higher. Any and all items dispensed by SCP-261 must be recorded, along with the amount of money entered and the amount of time elapsed between uses. Currently, SCP-261 may be used only 10 times in a 24-hour period, with no transaction exceeding the equivalent of 500 Japanese yen. Testing approved by Site Command is not under these restrictions. Items dispensed by SCP-261 should be reviewed by site health and safety officials before consumption. Failure to do so releases the foundation from any obligation regarding negative effects. Deemed dangerous or useful to research will be confiscated by Site Security, with financial compensation provided in proportion to money spent.  SCP-261 was recovered in Yokohama, Japan. SCP-261 was brought to the foundation's attention after investigation of an urban legend about a magic vending machine that was circulating on the internet. SCP-261 was found in a back alley behind a large shopping center, with a handwritten sign saying out of order in Japanese taped to it. SCP-261 has no marks or identification of any kind. No locals remember when or how it came to be in its current location. Internally, SCP-261 appears to be a basic vending machine equipped to vend food and beverage items. After a key was made and the front door opened, no abnormal materials were found, and it was determined that SCP-261 has never actually contained any food or beverage items. The keypad, while connected and operating correctly, does not activate any of the dispensing mechanisms. When money is placed into SCP-261, and a 3-digit number is entered on the keypad, SCP-261 will vend a random item. SCP-261 is not accepted any currency other than yen, with rejected currency being deposited in the coin return slot. It is unknown how these items appear, however, SCP-261 will not operate when the door is open, or when recording devices are placed inside. The number entered on the keypad has no effect on the item vended, nor has any pattern been detected. Items are always some form of snack food, and typically have bright attention grabbing packaging. SCP-261 is capable of operating with no external power supply, but operation in this state will cause unstable vending to occur much more quickly than normal. If SCP-261 is used several times in a short period of time, and or large amounts of money are entered before an item is vended, SCP-261 will start to dispense bizarre items. While still, food, their suitability for human consumption is often non-existent. Log of items vended during testing phase 8, 800 yen entered for each item, items being dispensed every 2 minutes, SCP-261 is attached to power.
