Hello, and welcome to glass onion super chat catch up episode 2 2 1. I believe It was about a film. It was pretty awesome and be checking out the messages while it was happening didn't quite get to so Go expect all kinds of things who knows the first the first is are you not covering avatar? I Did even Blame if you want to hear us talk about avatar to the way of water then go on over to metals forge We have an episode where we talk about it. It's really fun Yes, but I mean I don't want to talk about it again really me neither It's just not a film that I find very exciting in any way I actually kind of hate it I don't I'm just I yeah, it's just I but I guess it's a more apathetic about it Which is kind of worse in a sense because it means it's like there. There's like no interest at all in talking about it Yeah, I don't know how powerful that series or I guess that that IP could be if it was really well written with great characters and stuff Because this one's made like I think it's about to cross two billion. It's or it's well on its way It's the highest grossing film of the year like definitely It's it's not even close. I think Which that's yeah, that's better than I was expecting. Well, I don't know. I think I Wasn't I wasn't sure it's gonna make more than two billion dollars, but it looks like it will Is Back to make the most money of any movie I Don't know if it's I don't know if it's on track to beat avatar one But I guess the interesting question is does it beat end game? Which about I think like two point five or six billion? So who knows it might be then game and then would be avatar and avatar two would be number one and number two respectively Yeah, I have to see I guess I got no predictions anymore. It's like, what about the third one? It's like no idea. No clue. I don't have Projections for anything. I thought I thought black panther was gonna make more money than it did Like I really thought that was gonna make a billion for sure And I find that interesting because now, you know 2023 Ant-Man's up next. How much money is that one gonna make? Will Guardians 3 make as much money as the other ones did how's the marvels gonna do especially when captain Marvel made like 1.2 billion dollars. I Think they had in front of the disappointment with the marvels I think they are I think I I if black panther made 800 million I don't know man I wonder if like what's gonna become like the new average if there's like an average for Marvel movies like 700 600 million and someone might look at that and go wow, but like that but that's really good though It's like yeah, not compared to how much they'll make it before You consider what they're capable of Well, it's just companies want growth. They don't want they don't want less money that the expectation is you will make more money not less I mean if everything you put out is making a hundred 200 million less or more or even more less I guess you could say then what it could be making. Yeah, that's a big deal It is a big deal. That's a lot of money and budgets Growing and those marketing costs are pretty high What is your projection for the marvels, by the way Ignored that Yeah Think as deep as what was 650. I think oh, I think you went for that with a car if you said that for Ant-Man Like I think I think the Kang thing is gonna help that movie It seems to seems people are excited about that. Well, clearly Mo dog is gonna be selling that movie. Okay.  I'm think just don't translate. Well, I Want to I want to give I think they could have made it better I think that they just didn't have the time or the resources to do it I I would still classify it as something that's not gonna translate. Well, um Mo dog It's a tough one for sure But you probably need to go for CG right not do the actor space and then stretch it as a PNG like You're like galactus. I think he could be tough Curricate like I could I could see gun pulling it off. Funnily enough. I feel like he would fit into a James Gunn film I think with galactus you have a lot of options actually I think that Keeping the distinctive style still gives you so much room with the coloration and I would picture them making him darker darker purples instead of The almost pastel colors you can end up with some of these characters.  I know that much What a mistake that was uh, well that was in the era when they were still kind of embarrassed, right? Yeah, be like Because like silver surfer they they took straight from it and they always will silver surf is just cool Like same for iron man pretty much Well, yeah, but I guess you think like x-men, right? They didn't want to do the yellow like yes Whereas now that will absolutely be yellow. There is no question. There will be yellow in Whatever film comes out for them their costumes Well, like, you know the little wings on namo's That that was that was never going to be something that really like it's like The people said it was cool on twitter though. Well, people say a lot of things are cool. Oh, and that's nice for them Oh, you know, I'm almost like Uh, I think going back to what you've seen earlier is like I don't want to do any projections anymore So I just started to stand to think anymore, but my general assessment is trending down, of course Uh, yes, but I think that's the case right 2022 was one of the like in terms of domestic box office in the us. It wasn't great Um Which I guess is interesting does that mean that like why would it be america specifically compared to Because I mean this year like there being what three films that made over a billion dollars, which probably less than Several years prior actually. Yeah, that probably is lower Because it was just um avatar top gun and Jurassic world and that still made less money than the other two right That was on a downward trend because I mean that movie feels like it came and went and nobody talked about it or cared We've had a few of those this year though. We're kind of forever like dropped off the face of the earth Yeah Meanwhile, you know Afghan maverick Wouldn't go away for a long time very long legs Um, and it kind of looks like avatar might too Which is interesting because I think um, the notable thing is that there have been weekends where there was a zero percent drop Like there was no drop at all in terms of viewership. That's amazing. I just don't get it Marvel movies. It's like often what 50 60 percent like You know from weekend to weekend People go and show up on the opening weekend and then you'll see if it's actually going to have You know long legs or not and the answer a lot of the time has been known I imagine the reason why it's known is because what do people really have to say about these films? Um, there's nothing I feel like I've seen more people talking about push and boots Then I've seen people talk about like You know any of the marvel movies this year in terms of after they've come out Yeah, then again, it might be because I focus, you know Like I've got an amount that I focus on animation and paying attention to like that particular realm But I guess I just find it interesting this question of like how much film How much money a film makes versus how much staying power it actually has Um into the spider verse did not make like that made about 400 million. It's pretty good But it's not as much as like the average marvel movie I think it made about as much money as like shang qi or or uh, Eternals, but nobody talks about those films people still talk about spider verse People are hyped for the next one Yeah, the shelf life of so many of these movies is just they just disappear They're just people talk about them for a couple weeks And it goes away. Yeah And you have to remember what happened in them It's not even that they it's like there's a few tweets about a handful of scenes That are like the ones that would people are receptive to And then yeah, that's it That's the same with the shows as well, right as soon as they're done. Nobody cares anymore Well, yeah, I'm super curious about ant-man's box office and the marvels and then If they do what I expect which is to go down Uh compared to others like I guess dr. Strange is going to be the biggest owner for this phase Well, I guess it already was By a massive margin if we discount spider man. Yeah, like Because it's such an outlier. They made twice as much money as well. And it also doesn't make money for marvel, right? Or at least Yeah So marvel's biggest owner is still mom Still feels weird Like the the number one guy is dr. Strange right now Like well, is it really dr. Strange? You know Aquaman is way more baffling to me. I still maintain that it's because people thought that was a marvel movie I just I don't understand why Aquaman was the one that made wow because it made like 400 million dollars in china. I think so That was a huge boon Boon no wait boons Yeah, that's what a boon is My family is gaslighting me into thinking i'm an idiot for thinking knives out is bad Uh, I don't know what it is for the knives out movies, but they are Battlegrounds for people's intelligence No, I'm not even talking about whether or not a lot of their yeah Their their personal reputation and their ability to I guess like judge art Is staked to that movie.  I just All right, it's kind of this one dimensional. It's like I know what the film is trying to do I don't think it does it well. Yeah, I get it. I understand it. I just don't think it goes for what it's trying to do well I feel like that's so essential right in order to like levy criticism is to at least understand what the goals or Wow, or like what the average reading of the film is, you know, in terms of its positive reading I think a lot of people when they sort of identify either through themselves or because they saw a tweet or whatever Well, when people identify what the point was they feel this need to Go with that for fear of seeming stupid or as if they don't get it as if the idea trumps the execution Because a lot of people just can't divorce the two If we'll have material Jane Yeah I mean, I was like the first battleground movie really the modern sort of film I mean, it's it's a watershed film in terms of how it changed the landscape of discussion And that's never going to leave ryan johnson's reputation Plus, I mean, he's just not good at writing stories at all. So he's going to continue to make really badly written films But it's all gonna be like the tlj. We saw that with glass onion I'm gonna make a lot of money though Because knives out was very successful and glass onion appears to be as well Yay Know that andle has approved been approved by the long should we expect videos slash coverage of the series finale aka Rockway one Rogue one Oh, huh Maybe that's when pronounced it bizarrely No, they they wrote it bizarrely. Um, but We could do that that could be a good time for us to cover rogue one once the season two is out for andle Yeah, and then just hop into rogue one. See how it works. There you go. We finally have a reason to do rogue one over there Yeah, you can expect that I suppose that makes sense Holy schnikes is that genuine er? It was he uh, he for some reason saw glass onion And so it's like do you want to talk about it? He's like, yeah, sure um You know, because I I I wouldn't recommend anyone see glass onion, but if they do see it then uh, you know Make sure you drink plenty of water Don't think too hard about it They hydrated that means more pee breaks during the film. Those are always welcome Got my drunk rags plushy yesterday also high rags. Hello Uh, they're the plushy isn't necessarily drunk Um, just just to be clear. It is not marketed as such Uh got the ability to become so Yeah Quite a variable The Mary Sue said they'd watch anything by Ryan Good for them That's great Uh, you guys gonna mention the definition of what a glass onion means because I think it's the dumbest thing I've heard I mean I don't know about that. I I I find the I guess turn a phrase find the idea of something appears complex But it's you can stay right through it once you understand it that's fine Like I said, there's the uh the thing people are defending the movie for It could have been a good movie like the concept, but it was terrible Yep, and I just like how long can you say you didn't understand it before you have to like make another argument Yeah, that's that's a good way of putting it Uh, hey e-fap love your content. You've inspired me when it comes to writing. I just wanted to support and say hi fringy Howdy, thank you Howdy e-fapping mother yuckers was looking forward to the coverage of this movie also high rags Ella Had a lot of people asking me for the coverage of cost. I'm gonna like please do it Please please please And I have a feelings because not many people are going to be breaking down glass onion the way that we did it Uh, not at all Everyone else is just gonna be Just not really engaging with all the stuff that's actually in the movie They're gonna they're gonna have their goggles and their lenses on and they're not I mean People aren't gonna a lot of people aren't even gonna watch it. Uh, a lot of people really don't like Brian Johnson's work as you can imagine at this point But the people who do like it you're gonna be getting all those they already exist all those videos Like knives out or rather glass onion, uh The masterpiece hidden beneath the surface or the The film that reinvigorated an entire genre that sort of shittings. Yep, man Uh, the stream I never knew I needed Oh, here it is. Oh, there it was rather My dad sort of knew you even said it was really bad. I didn't expect it to be as bad as it was Uh, I don't think I did either that was uh Really gonna be surprised if he fails it three times in a row with the next one You mean what surprised if he screws up? I never thought you could make it worse again than than the first one It's possible if he sets in space makes him about time travel Pull it into stellar knives out or something Oh god Uh, when it was over my friends were saying it was great.   You're not smart like me I I said to people it took me a couple of watches to get everything straight um because You have like the refor formatting timelines like twice.  It's just this one was really badly done once you remember everything I've seen like plenty of comments being like, oh, yeah, it is bizarre like the duke just doesn't seem to care at all that She's alive and well walking around even though her death has bit her down He just wants to go straight to his twitch channel or whatever And I think the response that probably would be is like, yeah, well, that's all he cares about It's like no, he's a human being he's gonna go wait. What? Are you satisfied with that head?   So they must have made a mistake. Did you know about this? You don't go, uh She is dead her twin sister is here to try and uh, you know get information on who actually did it That's probably why ben mar blanc is here and it was miles because I remember him coming back from her house That's probably where she died and and that yeah now I can use that as leverage to push my chair.  That's what I've heard. That's the word on the street They say he's still playing video games to this day Still going Well, at least the movie has hot chicks in it Yeah, there you go You get to look at women Uh thoughts on the new pokemon designs Uh specifically killer wattrell Orthworm My bostiff and rapscar. Do you want to do you want to collect these rags and then once you've got them? We'll we'll give a look see I'll carry on All right, sure thing Um, why do people think being self aware is good enough as an excuse to be bad?  Um It's weird to me because like Do they believe that knives out is now on the level of like the naked gun or something? But because like obviously not like in tips of a toad of delivery. So what is what do they think? I don't think that's what they're actually saying I think they think they've they've gone as far as saying the mystery made sense It was just simpler than you wanted it to be because you expected it to be complex Which is the point of the movie when no we keep trying to translate to them. It's like no no no It's not the the thing is simple so it makes no sense at all And it's not simple. It's actually incredibly convoluted. Yes, that's another thing. Yeah Also, I'll uh, I'll use the lube real quick and then we'll get into the pokey man's or whatever Did you all know that ryan johnson is a new mystery tv show coming in january called poca face What? He's like ryan directing Maybe I don't know. He might just be executive. Well just he might be executive producer. I don't know. I've heard about it But I don't know much about it I don't know. I have to watch that don't make me I'm not watching it. You made me watch glass onion um Yeah And I don't regret it All right, sure Basically glass onion is so stupid it flew below drinker's radar He covered it got a video on it If you haven't heard of it yet, I highly recommend colombo an all detective show Based on a concept that we the audience already know it and how it Sorry, we already know who done it and how and we watch as colombo solves the crime um, yeah, as uh, this is why it feels weird that This one and even the first one are considered like super subversive I feel like what he does to subvert is relatively simple The actual like thing itself. It's the execution that's going to be praiseworthy or not and it's not both times One thing I get wondering at the end of the movie. Where's the gun? They said there's no proof, but the gun would be proof Yeah Remember the shell casings from the previous discharges would be around Yeah, you you may have lucked out with myles that he has handled it a couple of times Uh, he did have a glove when he fired it, but He might not have when he was picking it up, you know, it's worth trying Hard enough to wear a glove you see When he fired it But he handled it a bunch without a glove earlier. He may not have had time to clean, you know And then that's something that's better for like every other character can claim they saw him with the gun You know, that would actually do something for the the court case if they were going to try and lie But you're right. Yeah, they they just gave up on the gun And it's funny because he in the scene he drops the gun to the floor where he shot it from so it's really easy to get that gun In the bullet holes in the glass and everything. Yeah, you'd be able to I mean, it's all it's all well to be fair. Ben Warblanc. It's not like a detective or anything It's not like you would know to do that So glad to see you guys recapping this it was super disappointing to see lots of people including drinker getting events wrong set that record straight long man um Unfortunately, I can't I guess get an idea of what you're talking about in terms of think getting things wrong um, but I mean, I've seen drinkers video. I don't remember anything sticking out to me in terms of him getting anything specifically big wrong, but Let me know if you want. I'm curious Got my rags plushy today. He's hanging out under my monitor looking just as annoyed at glass onion as the real rags I am I I I'm not annoyed at glass.  I just had no clue. Yeah, I don't even know what anything is. Yeah, obviously I don't understand art and what a shame if only I understood art I would have been able to appreciate it's genius Um, however, I got this pokemon So I'll post the first Kilowatt roll Take a look here Uh, it's pretty pretty okay. It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. He's an electric bird So this is the next one Uh, wait, what was this one? Sorry? This is orthworm Okay, all right, so that's uh, that's not great Not really a fan of orthworm Don't I don't know there's something about him that I kind of like is his smile. He just looks sort of happy It is the smile Uh, next up we have Maba stiff Look at him I like him You're okay. He does look okay Yeah, let me get a um Let me get a picture here Uh, that that that uh Well, I guess it's not an official one. Let me let me grab the Stick with a theme here. There we go So I'm like, okay All right, I don't think the design's bad. He doesn't look very I don't know how pokemon he looks. It's yeah Kind of Uh, and the next one we've got here is Uh Rabska So let me let me find a good picture of this one. This is an odd one. This is an odd one What I'll do is I'll paste this Okay Seems to be like a like a psychic dung beetle looking thing I guess, yeah Okay Don't like it at all Yeah, I'm not a fan not a fan. I think the favorite one is actually the one Yeah, so I like the dog go the best. I think I want to I want to cheer him up I do like the dog. It's me back. Yeah for me. We got we got a so-so one meh Okay, and dislike So I do just like that last one that last one. I definitely don't Not a fan not a fan Not a good average. I don't think I think the best you could get if you average him up is fine Um, hi rags Hello, I know what gallador is but it came out right after bionicle in 2002 lego was already near broke since Uh end of 90s. That wasn't only on gallador I think it was certainly at a if lego didn't get a big hit with bionicle They could have been in some serious trouble I think they had tried to sort of reinvent themselves in that era when it came to their regular lego brand Um, I guess they felt like the old style lego's just weren't quite selling or they weren't doing a good job at marketing them Or getting good designers for things Whatever the case may be So gallador was a huge investment for him. They had a whole tv show lined up I think disney even sort of partnered with They had the action figures. They had the mcdonalds promotions that even had like a video game Uh thing that would link up to the show and unlock stuff But I think some bad marketing and a lot of cringy material that just didn't seem appealing was ultimately the doom of What gallador became and bionicle just took off as far as they know it's still going to this day No, all right If only this puzzle box would have been summoning some cenobites would have been a much better film. Yeah Don't always get that though. I've heard the new hellraiser is like one of the best of the set Really? I find really interesting. Yeah, I don't know anything about the hellraiser stuff really Those are some crazy movies I don't even know what you guys would say if you saw them I don't know if we'll ever randomly force you to watch them. I don't know maybe um Wings quote of the day sigh. All right, if we don't get any more donations in the next 10 minutes, I'm cutting the stream Hold the gun to my head don't make me pull the trigger. He's still going any like just got to so Him and dsp are probably similar in that regard, right? They could never say him and boogie But yeah, well well those two. Yeah, that's I feel like dsp almost has I don't I don't know dsp doesn't have a good reputation But I feel like it's just markedly better than him, right? Like everyone clowns on dsp, but I feel like they do it in a different way that they do We have to pull from grace right like which is true what wings because wings had like a positive reputation I'm boogie did and boogie definitely had one that's like plummeted. Yeah, um, dsp was just always cringe Yeah, where's the yeah exactly dsp was always kind of the meme I guess it's more so in the sense that they'll probably just keep doing it because for as much well I guess I don't know I'm not as uh, I'm not as up to date on the dsp war as I am Like I uh I imagine it's just you know for as much as you may complain about oh, I got to play call of duty It's like you'd still rather be playing call of duty than like work at a regular like 95 You know for as much. He just couldn't do that He couldn't get himself to yeah, he would he would just be he'd be homeless He just wouldn't do any work or anything It's just I don't know like yeah like as much as you could play about call of duty I think a lot of people would take playing a game that don't really like that much but occasionally have fun with over Like a really soul crushing kind of job, you know, absolutely especially because it seems almost like the default attitude That if you are a streamer or a youtuber, that's the apex job And anything that isn't that is just intrinsically a step down Especially if it's what you've been doing for like a decade.  So, you know Indeed you can't Wings hasn't had that kind of like Sitting down and really thinking about those things. I don't know He hasn't he has he doesn't think he doesn't strike me as a thinker or an introspector That sounds like a ghost that haunts like your thoughts an introspector That could be a pokemon make it happen introspector and he's got a little like Blosses and maybe a book. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he has a therapist couch attached to him at all times And how does that make you feel the ghost of yeah, like a therapist died Because because pokemon let you know those bios people send us and these um They say check out the descriptions of pokemon in these super chats and So it's not really off the mark very far that you have a pokemon that's just based off of like Oh, it's the soul of a dead therapist if they don't eat enough children in the forest late at night or something like that And they're like, yeah, that's lots in pretty well with pokemon from what I understand This movie would have started off way better if myles would have been sent The lament configuration is hellraiser again. Yeah, I agree Unfortunately, no centabytes turn up nobody gets tortured to death. You know how it goes Is the lament configuration what you use to solve the Uh, what is it the hate the hate equation or what is it from the edgy boy snider stuff the life equation, right? Anti-life equation How slash why does andy's How the how why does andy's is to get a box? We did uh have a back and forth about that for a while whether or not it's a good decision for myles to send andy a box I think it's it's acceptable either way But I would err on the side of sending her a box because you have far I think you have just virtually nothing to use Um, I think I'm still on the fence like like 50 50 exactly, which is rare for me Yeah, it's it it works either way. I think I'm trying to think of that movie's problem Yeah, that's the thing the only reason it gets so much time is because of the fact that I'm trying to get an answer I want an answer I'm thinking about it like If I'm miles, I just did that to her in the court case, but I always invite her to these things I mean do I add on as well that we can add the layer if he's actually killed her on a little bit later But like as it stands like would you would he be inviting her anymore?  I don't know I don't think that's one of those things you can really run that with if he took everything from it But then if he killed it Does it look less or more suspicious to send a box? I think so. I still don't know it probably just depends on Yeah literally just a matter of who Is looking at it who the judge might be potentially Uh, it's supposed to be that he's so desperate for a good mystery that he's being fooled by the obvious But he solves the middle mystery dinner later um Also, is that can does he consider that a good mystery? I think he does right?  Hmm I think I just kept calling him like right-winger Uh, here's some schmeckles for my resident shadow man er I called him texas guy because he shot the guns in the air. Remember the texas guy Oh, yeah, free is referencing specifically the simpsons character. Yeah Devil fruit of the week is the wash wash fruit You have to sacrifice if you agree to this you sacrifice the ability to swim Okay This allows the user to wash and hang out to dry people and objects as if they were clothes.  No I don't even know what that means I can do assuming that I don't want to do that to people. I can just do that Is that like telekinetic that I can do it? Is that what that means? I can wash wash and hang out people to dry, which is a very Rather mundane thing that as I said, as you were saying, yeah, you you can already do that. That's true As long as I don't want to do it to people, which I don't Well, the fact that it's considered a power. I guess that just means that you you can do it with ease or something Well, I don't know. Yeah, you know what I would rather be able to swim I feel like even though I yeah virtually never ever swim I would still want to keep my ability to swim because I don't feel like I gain Anything whatsoever from this one. I can just put stuff out to dry after washing it regularly. So Yeah, exactly Uh, I'd love to stay and watch but I'll watch the reupload also high rags Hello I got Susan Wojcicki to compose this super chat. Wow Incredible You guys don't understand it.  The twin reveal was just like prestige They're both about the same quality They put sock has them in brackets after that one Just in case But seriously, why is it on the roof? Uh, if you're talking about Miles's car because he takes the car wherever he goes Plan to drive it around the island. She's gonna keep it there. I guess before he gets airlifted or something I don't know why why wouldn't you just keep it on the mainland? He loves his car wrecks Don't be without it.  Look at it Go, it's getting destroyed. Ha ha This says I love you er Have you heard about Jeremy Renner's accident he was caught under a plow. Hope he makes a full recovery Yeah, that's that's crazy. I hope he does too.  So, yeah, hopefully you can recover from that It was just good to hear that he was alive Yeah, that's a full recovery. Yeah, I don't know. I think that'll probably be pretty lucky at this point But absolutely hope for it. It seems really yeah, like a really grievous injury No phone just like she hulk also fax machines use phone lines Well I don't know if that's a counter to anything in particular like for example him saying it's analog like we pointed out.  So the definition of analog versus digital is this like categorically like do you understand It would just be as simple as some tech guy would know and then he'd be like I love fax machines because they're analog and they'd be like that's not what analog is and then miles would be like Oh, fuck. What is analog? Like that does it mean like wire to not wireless? Is well, but I don't know.  It's like how did that happen? How did he install these fax machines consistently justified as he loves analog technology and nobody ever told him Whatever Yeah Like is it supposed to be that like rich people live in a world of delusion? Yeah, nobody's willing to tell them that they're wrong about anything because they want to keep benefiting from them That's what it is. There you go. Genius Hey, hi famously not having access to information is a thing Yeah Hi evap i'm studying an electrician course and a website we use is called swindon massive and sparky ninja Just thought that was funny swindon massive sound like man that's a town in the britain Any chances for the banshees of inich air and breakdown in the future at least a discussion about it purified my soul after watching this crap Um I thought it was fine I've not got any passion to break it down really I would say that I was actually quite disappointed at the end of it And I have no passion for it myself whatsoever I thought that The premise could have been far more interestingly done than it actually was. Uh, there were a few high points, but uh, really didn't Do much for me at all I will say Even seven psychopaths and in bruge if they came out like yesterday and we watched them I don't know that I'd be Doing an efap breakdown of movies like that Yeah, because I like both of those quite a bit, but This one just didn't do it for me like those two did at all Um, oh, I'm I'm trying to say I don't even know what kind of courage I'd give the ones I really liked of those Mcdonald's work. I don't know If it would get an efap breakdown As opposed to maybe a video someday or you know what just a recommendation I mean different for everything, you know Yeah, sometimes all we can do is just wholeheartedly recommend people go see some movies and That'll kind of be all you might get a reference here and there, but really just a recommendation For which we'd certainly give to in bruge and seven psychopaths Wouldn't the greek government had to have known about clear for the house Also, how did he get it into greece when it's explosive? Did airport security just go? Yeah, don't worry. It doesn't matter What it is makes no sense so question number one like transport of this material that is uh A fuel I get can you get away with just saying it's a rock leave me alone or something? I don't know if they don't know look for it, but you'd have to transport probably a decent amount of it In order to power a math an entire island like that. I don't they never made it clear How much is required to I don't think the implication right was that he powered everything on that like tiny amount or anything, right? But I don't know And then secondly Yeah, if you're powering the house on it, I'm pretty sure it's going to be hyper legal if you don't disclose that like to the government In the form of whatever power you're using Uh, I don't know unless you get like some kind of weird rules with an island that you own that you can do whatever you want for power If it's provided by yourself Don't actually clear on how that works certainly not familiar with greek policy on all of that but The the thing that's strange about it Is that we were told once it gets Put into like a gaseous form in house pipes It's so thin and small the particles that they go they leak out like inevitably And so that just toxifies all of the air If that's true, this is what I get that I mean about the whole stupid thing It's like oh did myles know about that because that's just he's just like yeah, just do it anyway I don't mind if I die And then of course it's flammable.  It's obvious, but it didn't make sense I thought it was a bad red herring um Well, the more you try and put everything together in any way that does make sense the more confusing it gets I guess when he's like Who tried to kill me and then he's like nobody tried to kill you You made it all up.  I'm a pretend I didn't hear that Yeah, I think Lame to just say oh actually it was a twin all along.  It's um Is on janua the guy who takes care of setting up his uh appearances and building A lot of his magic tricks, right?  I don't know what that hairstyle was called exactly but And he wears a hat and he keeps his eyes down all the time doesn't talk that much We hear everyone's all being like I'm like whispering to people He's there in the whole movie You just kind of he kind of it's the kind of that's what I would call misdirection He's right there But the the camera is not focusing on him at all and everything keeps happening in front of him That's much more interesting or relevant at the time And at the end of the movie they're like that guy by the way That guy who's been there the whole fucking time Ever wondered who he is Well, I think one of the elements that makes it work is because you know like michael kane's character You know his suggestions aren't just because it I mean Is a suggestion that could be made and it's logical But that because it's a convention within you know illusion circles That's why he says it. That's why it's his go-to thing like this is the the logical explanation is that I mean Look at the business we're in it's a thing that happens in this business. There you go I think when they get there like final clue being tesla He's like we can finally find out how he does the trick and michael kane is like I already know how he does the trick And uh, yeah, it's the obsession stuff. So yeah, it's just the the two examples, right? There's there's that thought and if you have it people can't call it before it happens And I think that's kind of that's kind of what's just missing in ryan johnson's films.  It's just it's completely and totally out of left field 100% Just one simple question If you didn't speak to andy and had already killed her, why did he send an invitation box to her in the first place? You appear that he had no reason to think she was dead in any way. I imagine the the best argument Yeah, the move that you make The if the cop was like, yo, why'd you send it? He could be like I I I always invite her I don't know if she she's like I had no idea that she was dead Uh, everyone watched push and boots two for real the movie might be a nine out of ten nine Well, yeah, we didn't I would I would I would recommend the people watch it Well, we can we can do coverage of it if you really want to bring Do that for you just for you the thing that I'm wondering is uh Well, it's it's always a relevant thing of like if you two would have watched it The how interested you guys wouldn't end up being Well, I definitely want to see it because I've heard so many good things And also there's a matter of uh, I I've not seen the first push and boots movie I don't think I've even watched shrek 4 Fucking fake fan over here.  So I didn't watch shrek 4 Shrek the third Yeah With king Arthur Oh, wait, what? No, it wasn't that was the one with justin timberlake, right? And king Arthur and shrek the third Yeah, was he? Yeah I because I was the one with prince charming was the bad guy, right? Um, there was like there was justin timberlake was like he was this guy who was actually going to become the king and then Like wasn't that? I just want to make this like such a blur Like the ice age movies sort of like I I remember one and two And I remember one a lot. Let me think well, which one was ice age two The meltdown it was the one with the the lighty Queen latifah mammoth And then okay, I think I I sort of remember that also. Yes, justin timberlake played king Arthur The third one had dinosaurs in it Also, he wasn't a king at that point, right? He's just Arthur Arthur pen dragon Yay Because prince charming. Yeah We got to do an ice age arc at some point and a shrek one Yes What's with the ice age hate? What's that about? Yeah Ice age apathy. I just I'm not I I like the first one There you go That's your reason to start and Are we gonna watch all the shorts and the minis and things? Probably not like the kind of like the shrek things, right?   That's uh blue sky. That's it. Yeah, blue sky when they were Give scrap an ending because It's over for the studio to let him get it and I feel like it was perfect He got it. He thought about put it in the ground But then he decided, you know what? I'm gonna eat it and the best part is he ate it and he was happy with it And then went about his life. It wasn't and it can move on It wasn't like oh, it wasn't as good as I thought it was it was like, you know what that was good I like that. It's good Go carry on My story isn't over I actually really like that little animation It's uh, it's great This would be like general mills if they were going to shut down they they finally said that you know what the tricks rabbit You can have some tricks Oh, right because he's not allowed to have it, is he?  Look, I know it's really tempting, but like seriously There's actually a medical reason why they're not for it.  Um, it'll probably be something like honey bunches of oats Uh, something that's a bit sweet and it has like fruit in it like strawberries and things. I'm big into those um, vanilla yogurt That's what a stuff. I really like that in cereal. So I stopped eating cereal. It's uh Super sugary and everything and As good as it tastes it's like candy. That's the problem a lot of the cereals that I really like are essentially candy surrounded by milk um So What about uh you mola? I like cinnamon in my cereal Right. I also like chocolate just because chocolate tastes nice I don't know if you guys need that Yeah, I'm asking for a brand really that's I think that's what I want to know I don't necessarily have much brand loyalty of cereal is the most tastes i'm gunning for Yeah, I have no brand really recognition when it comes to loyalty.  Yeah, let's chocolate cuckoo for cocoa puffs you know They just I've been distracted by something funny Um, yeah, all right, you know the everything that's being said about the matrix by adry taten all that It's memes from posters says your morpheus quote I'm trying to free your mind andrew, but I can only show you the door You're the one that has to walk through it become a violent misogynist grifter and get yourself arrested for rape and people traffic Like that's morpheus tell again for how to break the matrix I think logan paul said something about the matrix yep the day Come for all of us guys Is it a coincidence that efat minis colored green and we're talking about this?  Yeah, I think so the pig actually didn't he escaped he escaped the matrix You have that scene where it's like neo running to find the exit point or whatever, but it's the pig You had a bunch of logan paul's chasing it down the street Ah The matrix is one of the most like culturally Like that that film just like continues, you know Oh, yeah, talk about the opposite of avatar of a cultural footprint in there All right, the matrix that has an enormous culture There's not many films I would say had as much of a cultural footprint as the matrix actually like in the last You know how many years? He didn't deal is to the point where people wonder like wait, was there a fourth one?  I had you guys at half volume in obs because of the last time I streamed gears This whole time Well, hopefully it's not too painful people at home I guess we'll see what happens. You just would have been quiet of the whole time Okay, well, you know, they would have still hurt you though Uh, did you know that there's an enemy in Metroid 2 that looks like samus's helmet slash ship? Did you also know its name is mumbo? Not a meme look at that mumbo A mumbo helmet God, they're right an enemy called a mumbo What a cool enemy I bet he's super popular and and The great guy all around Mumbo Wait, is this a constantine script dead twin? Yeah, I remember that rachel weiss Uh, either you guys see constantine the movie No, I know of it though the one with uh, keanu Reeves, right? Yeah I haven't seen it Really? We were talking about uh, the The what was it the scooby-doo show sans scooby-doo earlier. Yeah, someone sent me this just a moment ago The plot synopsis for hbo max's new velma and oh, it's just velmo animated series starring mendicaylin You could look that's velma guys Animated At crystal cove high school Daphne constants woo is a popular mean girl orphan who sells drugs because of a dark family secret Her boyfriend fred personifies mediocre white richness. Okay His mansion holds a dark secret and he has a tiny widow privates a subject of much conversation Shaggy has become norville A school newspaper striver friend zoned by his beloved velma. He's worried. He's a beta male Remember that lame humor concept from 20 years ago But the one that you just that you put in your own story Well, this this is a Synopsis is from an entertainment weekly review of the show. So it's just part of an entertainment weekly review I don't like the actual official synopsis Yeah, it's just the synopsis has being reviewed and I believe that pretty much all of the descriptions of the characters is probably true Because it seems very strong Okay, all right I'm gonna go ahead and not watch this show. That's uh my revelation Uh, really annoys me that we never see duke's mum react to his death The one character shown to be close to his parent and the film doesn't even care All right I mean the the funny thing is like I never expected it because like Nobody cares about duke in the film the film doesn't care about duke.    If anything his death is funny Um No context this plot sounds like if linda hamilton died and literally nobody knows except leslie hamilton and nobody finds out She's led in this twin in 2022 also ripped leslie hamilton um There's so much that uh, you can't even start talking about doesn't make sense because they haven't told us enough As in like wait, do these characters know she has a twin sister or not? Unlike it's actually hard to guess because you have them saying like your sister. You have a sister called helen You're like so you did know or Do you only like knew of her one time or something you've completely forgotten for the whole movie? Is that what you're trying to argue?    Like how the hell did a company get built from this?  It probably has similar plot holes that I did not see the first time Oh, well It just might hey if you wanted to see a breakdown of it There is one on drinkers channel with a lot of us and then there is an e-fap episode where we check out praise of the movie As as cap brought up and we talked a little bit about the first one in the coverage of the second one Is that moment? I think did das say it was like one of his most hated moments as well when she says You did this and then later on the movie they play the scene again.  I just feel like I'd be really really specific I would say, you know, yeah, adam mcdaniels Committed the crime and I'd specify the crime adam mcdaniels committed the crime of murder You could just say something vague though It was the one who walks in the night.   I mean I use my hands to edit I suppose this is why the editing is horrid. I don't know if that's a that could be a meme reference Maybe building lego's or something because that just sounds funny It's something to say that he's uh indistinguishable from you know We're gonna say what's wrong with building lego's No Like building lego's is fine unless it's gallador. That's kind of cringe all building it while he's supposed to be editing a movie That seems like a bad. Yeah, that's probably you should probably focus on um, you know doing that IP law was a little fuzzy. There are stronger claims and weaker claims. There seems to be no ironclad claims But legal contracts are really strong Why yeah Yeah, that's pretty much a good summary of it It's just the nobody's believing the contracts written down, you know, it's on paper. It's in clear English right like it's it's there and people make agreements based on those It's why yeah compared to like I wrote on a napkin 10 years ago My intellectual property that is the basis in which the business is built You know Nobody's believing that shit that was bizarre and The fact that both of them when building this company together would have set out on that being like a foundation as in like written in contract That this whole company Begins with the napkin and then they don't write down in the contract who that napkin belongs to or who made it They're just like it's just the napkin We we we go over a lot of because of course the napkin on its own like what is that really it's a mind map And if that got translated into anything more comprehensive, it's like well That stage is more valuable than the napkin at that point Well, of course, right like the napkin is an idea Like what is that compared to the actual structure of the business and the products that they create and the supply chain? um Like all all of those types of things are not encompassed by that napkin Because the napkin is the beginning of the idea and then you go to a computer and you start actually like writing it out And even once you write it out you need to build the thing and again I what is the nature of that contract that she signed that apparently got her shut out of the company and lost all of her stock Yeah, like what what the hell was that? What was in that contract? Yeah, why did they both approve of whatever the hell was in that contract if it could be used? Well, I guess he was cool with it, right? But like I guess you remember it could have been used to force him out if they'd all sign up with it Oh, right, right, yeah That's right. Why would be agree to that?   It relies on an absence of information to work Come on guys with four and a half hours into your review. Do you recommend this film or not? No I thought that was apparent by that now. Oh, I think I think they're probably joking Yeah, well, maybe they are. I don't know How is this cloud still making movie because they're popular People think they're good They make a lot of money Salutations eFab crew question How exactly do we as a broken society stop the advancement of this garbage media entertainment? It seems to be getting worse and infecting other things like video games The most reasonable way to do it is to simply review it and talk about what's not working and hope that I don't know better ideas prevail. There's no like There's nothing much minds on it making the mark that you can We want to have a society where these things can be made as in like there needs to be that freedom I wish people wouldn't but but like You know, they're gonna keep being made and to be fair I think it's a sign of health that we have bad things still being made. It's just that Man We have a lot. We're in a pretty bad position right now in terms of overall We wish we had a more higher frequency of good stuff coming out still have good stuff coming out And that's another thing make sure to highlight when the good stuff comes out Which we will do. Yeah, absolutely. We can gotta be praising the good It's very important that you praise the good. It sets the example for things to be strived for Because a lot of people like to say that all we do is shit on things But that's just obviously not true with anyone who engages in our kind of We only did 20 hours of coverage of ragnarok Yeah, and it was about 20 hours for a arcane if not more than that and I imagine Probably gonna do something like that one season And or underwater Underwater again And that was that was almost like the closest we got to something where we praise and criticize You know as a general sort of approach Yeah Still recommend it though. I would still recommend watching uh watch underwater. I think it's worth it. Yeah The bulletproof journal is worse than the prop knife save from the first movie Um, I never even like the prop knife save you guys remember he tries to kill her at the end of the film He grabs a knife from the selection and he accidentally chooses the prop knife Any question I had was like are they all prop knives or was that the only prop knife? I figure they were all prop knives, all right Better I guess then the the thing well because you have a problem either way either He's a dumbo for not knowing that I guess, um, or he grabbed the one knife. Yeah, or it's hyper convenient She grabbed the wrong one. And by the way That that is set up quote unquote in either beginning of the film He himself mentions something along the lines of how a prop knife and a real knife can be easily mistaken They fall that's what that's the kind of stuff that ryan does where it's like Wow, that's awfully convenient. And it's like, well, no, I set it up Okay, yeah In the same way there's like, you know, man Sometimes just guns can fall out of the sky and at the end that's what happens and saves your life So it's like see I set it up. You're like, oh That's not what that is You don't understand miles had connections to youtube and twitch He had the network They're tearing me apart Mona Lisa Yeah This just says ah no, no, no, no, no, no, no Probably in response to the Mona Lisa getting burned The burning of the Mona Lisa has the same energy as quintin reviews dropping citizen kane They mean when he dropped it he made a video on how citizen kane was bad at one point But it was an attempt to parody me And he eventually got rid of it because uh his fans didn't understand at all Oh, why do you think you don't like citizen kane? No, his point was that I could what I do with movies you can do to anything It included uh, no god. No because citizen kane is really strong structurally Well character wise you are wrong here and Incorrect. It's actually a really impressive film Considering when it came out It holds up It does hold up Once they said clear leaks hydrogen gas I knew the house would ignite, but I hoped it'd be smarter and have miles as you see with the lighter ignited We were talking about this wouldn't that make so much more sense to have had it so that he Through his own hubris of clear destroyed his own everything Isn't that the obvious payoff? He destroys the Mona Lisa He ends up causing his own downfall. Yeah. Yeah Look, look, I'm sure hitler liked the Mona Lisa so it must be destroyed Nothing hitler like should ever remain wait. Did he like dogs? Hi rags Hello, and yes, he did There comes a time in that one.   Yep The hero ladies and gentlemen You go girl It wouldn't even have to be a reporter. The Louvre would want a thorough investigation to find out how their property was destroyed. Yep Absolutely Man this massive explosion at this massive villa Well, I don't even know that that would matter at all compared to the loss of the Mona Lisa on there too if you know Imagine the scandal like Mona Lisa burned destroyed in Greece. You'd be like, oh No Use the time reviewing this movie to watch miller's crossing instead back before cohen brothers got top billing. Good rat Also kids getting introduced to the Beatles via this Ew gross It all makes sense ryan got a journal and listened to ted talks of a director as a child And thus his career and delusion of grandeur were born Yeah The really glass onion describes the director himself a simple man that people keep trying to give too much intellectual credit to Uh, it's kind of it's kind of a funny read, isn't it? His movies are a lot more simple than you thought and Obviously the positive reading of that is the you can understand the narrative much easier than if you let all of your baggage over complicate it But I'd say the more accurate reading Is that you give much more generous praise to the construction of these things when in reality, they're kind of a mess Yeah Oh my god, I just realized that duke is just right wing Hassan down to being a streamer at home with his mum running his life Yeah, and you're not gonna see that being made fun of right You'll never see that character. Nope. That will never be a character that you see absolutely not What's the best movie to be named after a Beatles song honestly helps starring the Beatles themselves as a fun Tism lots of crack and culture appropriation going on, but it's fun Yellow submarine was a trip Wait, I don't even know how to start evaluating whether a movie like that is good or not. It's just That's just like weird I don't hate it, but it's weird Hmm And hey last one David Sushet as Poirot is best who done it content any episode of that series runs miles around Johnson without hiding behind memes They had to work to make those things effective They had to make stories that were complex detailed gave away things But didn't go away too much and can be all pieced together. It's not easy to do that It's tough. It's probably one of the toughest Genres to write for because it's one that relies. I think rags set it on the stream It's like one that relies perhaps the most on internal consistency And like coherence you really can't get away Can't get away with saying like oh space wizards No, uh, it's just an unacceptable answer Um, and I mean to some extent right it's it's like the implicit agreement of like a who done it is You can try and figure it out if you want and if we've done our job well You'll be out. You may well be able to figure it out before uh, everything gets revealed You'll get all the pieces of information you need to figure it out Like it's a genre that can reward you immensely for paying close attention But if you're watching a movie and there's one shot where a character doesn't exist and then the same shot the character exists It's like oh Why am I here at no point? There's no point in me Trying to wait in for the film to tell you the answer because you're not gonna be able to get it. You're not real Yeah, pretty much. I think it was like yeah, I was at that moment. It's like why am I here?   Yeah We are in agreement Mm-hmm And with that is the end of the night's out glass onion whatever super chat catch up Thank you all for giving this a listen. Thank you all for the kind donations in jinnah. Absolutely. Thank you very very much We appreciate it immensely Yes, since this will come out at some point, you know, thank you and See you on whatever the next thing is that we're doing Yeah, all kinds of things ahead Right. Bye. Bye. Bye everybody. See you later


President Ronald Reagan once said that the greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He's the one that gets the people to do the greatest things. Well, the topic relating to any facet of leadership, be it leadership skills or its development is very immense and huge. I could speak on the topic for hours together based on my experience as well as having studied the lives of several leaders in different walks of life. But as I have limitation of time, let me just touch upon some vital areas of leadership. In the context of individual leadership, I would say leadership is the capacity and ability to lead, run, manage or guide other individuals, teams or entire organization. This is putting it simply. Research is conducted with regard to leadership has generated many concepts and characteristics which are essential for leadership. According to me, there are 18 characteristics attached to a good successful leader, possessing some exceptional qualities, interpersonal dealings, crisis management skills, timely responses, spontaneous actions, defining roles, performance, conduct, behavior, power, mission, vision, goals, sensitivity, compassion and intelligence. My research shows that any good and successful leader should have minimum 10 exceptional characteristics. But the lives of leaders which I have studied, I have seen leaders, very few leaders who have 14 to 15 traits of leadership. They were Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Martin Luther King Jr. And in the present times, I would say that the Chinese online retail giant Alibaba founder Jack Ma as a great leader. So I would sort of advise all of you that it would be worthwhile if you will go through the written material about their lives and biographies. You know of these four leaders whose name I have just shared. There are many commentaries on leadership skills and roles but the aptest one I found was in the commentary by Jia Lin on Sun Tzu, Art of War, the most important and popular military classic of ancient China. You must read the translated texts of the Art of War. Jia Lin interpreting the text says that leadership, listen carefully, that leadership is a matter of intelligence. One, trustworthiness, humanness, courage and discipline. Reliance on intelligence alone results in rebelliousness. Exercise of humanness alone results in weakness. Fixation on trust results in folly. Dependence on the strength of courage results in violence. Excessive discipline and sternness in command result in cruelty. When one has these five virtues together, each appropriate to its function, then one can be a leader. And leadership is not a static role. It must develop and grow each day with the changing needs, challenges and evolution and expectations beg your pardon of the society or the cooperation as the case may be. The leadership is not about only yielding, holding power and authority. It's about good governance. It's about accountability. It is about creating more leaders. It is about leaving a formidable legacy. Leadership is about governing, not merely ownership. Even an owner has to learn to lead. Indeed, its underlying principles have been long established and discussed at length in Arth Shastra, which was written in the 4th century BC. This thesis of practice on governance and leadership is said to have been written by Kotalya, the Prime Minister of India's great Emperor Chandragopta Moria. In the context of leadership, one could draw the crux and core from the muleas or values found in Kotalya's Arth Shastra, which reads as which means in the happiness of his subject lies the king's happiness. In their welfare, his welfare. He shall not consider as good only that which pleases him alone. So, I'll close by saying that leadership is a way of life and not a set of rules, a way of life that necessitates taking into account the interest of all concerned. Thank you so much and see you next time with another topic of your interest.


So the big question everyone asked me about my Tesla is well, how do you charge it? And then you know, there's some assumptions that you always have to go to a supercharger I'm always surprised, but then again, I've spent a lot of time reading and researching before I bought the Tesla So I wanted to make sure I'm sharing with my friends who have asked some of these questions a Real easy answer to how does it charge? How much does it cost and what about the supercharger? Etc. So if you see my video where I talked about going on a road trip and I talked about using a supercharger That's a great way to charge it when you're traveling and they work fast They charge at really super fast speeds hence the reason they call them superchargers, which is roughly like a 500 miles per hour charge And that's a easy way to measure charging is miles per hour when the car's parked And you don't ever think about this when you're filling up a normal fuel base vehicle petroleum based vehicle because you're like well You put gas in it takes a few minutes and you're off and running and whatever the range of that car Or a vehicle is is the range of that vehicle You think of it differently when you're in an electric vehicle and one of the first things is one I charge at my office, but you could do the same thing at home So it no longer becomes a thought about filling it all the way up because one the car has When you're setting the battery at a healthy when you're daily driving it a healthy percentage like 90% So that gives me roughly two hundred and eighty something miles of range roughly right around there They went 280 miles of range charging the battery up I don't go that much every day So every morning when I get to work and not even every I can skip this because I don't drive that much I only live three miles from my office and some days. I just don't go a lot of places But the other day I did I went about a hundred and twenty five miles visiting clients and going out with some friends after Words and hitting the Coney Island in Detroit and by the time It's all sudden done you put a hundred and twenty miles in the car now that is far From the car being dead. I can drive it for probably a couple more days that I may have to charge it but conveniently I've installed the charger at the back of my office right here and I Have this juice box charger But first we're going to talk about the Tesla charger and what the differences are so when you charge it and you're charging it Every day like I said it becomes not a thought you know A lot of my friends just have them in a garage and they pull up in their garage They plug their car in and you no longer ever consider Any beyond that was actually my other friend has a different electric car And he just plugs it in his garage every day and that's enough to get him back and forth to work for that car He's got so How do you plug it in? Well Tesla only give gives as far as I know this hasn't changed But when I got my car this is all I got with the stupid 120 volt plug so yeah, you can actually plug your Tesla into a standard socket in a US household and Sadly it only works at about three miles per hour. So they give you the charger for that. I'll show you what the charger looks like here It's a whole fancy kit they give you so yes, you do get a charger with the car This is there like portable mobile charger and then it adapts with this 120 now the reason it comes out is because It's got this funky end on it and this is a NEMA 1450 I had to order this it's 35 bucks Rumor has it they used to give these with the car This is a much better way to charge your car because this three miles per hour this I think it's about a flea 30 miles per hour when you plug it in so this is a 220 volt I believe this is a 32 amp charger to take give you with the car So that's gonna charge it like I said for every hour sitting you're gonna gain 30 miles in the car So if you ran the full 300 mile range of the Tesla Model 3 You would take roughly 10 hours provided you actually manage to get all the way to zero and into your Charging spot wherever you're gonna charge it at it would take 10 hours to recharge the car Simple enough. Obviously with three miles per hour This is like an act of desperation if you had to put some miles on the car and you're somewhere I keep this in the car just in case somehow through Circumstances out of my control I end up somewhere where I can only charge it with this But you're gonna wait a long time to get anywhere So this is a much more ideal way to charge it But I only bought this to keep it as a spare because you'll find these NEMA 1450s are pretty common There's a lot of places matter of fact If you look at using apps like charge point and you look for places lots of shops that list on charge point Which charge point comms cool app for help finding charging locations that are not yours So if you're traveling and not by a supercharger, but you know, this is a plug used for Everything from welding equipment compressors and garages Dryers electric dryers, I should say and electric stoves. So nothing nothing really funky about that And I keep this whole little kit With a Tesla charger Put away and in my car hoping not to use it. I bought a third-party charger now We're gonna talk about third-party chargers now Behind me. I have the juice box. This is the juice box 40 amp model and 40 amps means it'll charge a car at 37 miles per hour and It doesn't have a Tesla adapter on it It has the J1772 versus the Tesla adapter and let me explain the difference So the J1772 is a common standard for electric vehicle charging You'll find these all over the place there in parking garages. They're anywhere They have an EV parking spot. They generally you're gonna find this standard of charger now Tesla They charge at eight will have the potential to charge any much higher wattage And they went with their own Adapters to help facilitate that and this is what a Tesla adapter is. This is also something you get with the car Don't lose this. They they're not cheap. They're pretty simple. They're just some pins to transfer power but they'll adapt a J1772 to a standard Tesla adapter. So that's pretty cool That means you can use any standard charging point with these and the reason I didn't buy a genuine and they do sell these You can get a wall-mounted Tesla adapter and it's cool, but it will only charge a Tesla I wanted the option to charge more than a Tesla And we're thinking about getting some more electric vehicles Non-Tesla's potentially for our office including some for our text-to-drive like maybe a Nissan Leaf and like I said It's gonna use the standard J1772 connector So that gives me more diversity with the juice box other advantage with the juice box is the juice box Gives me all kinds of fancy stats because I'm a nerd and I like statistics and it tells me all the details about How much it cost to charge this car because it tells me exactly how many watts or how many kilowatt hours of energy are going Into the car so it's you know stats for nerds stuff. I like and I'm gonna do a separate review on this juice box But it's pretty cool Pretty cool device as far as letting you know all that and because I just pop this on there Plug this in charge the car really easy now. How did we hook any of this up? Well, you can hard line a juice box in you can hardwire this right to your system They have one I purposely ordered the one with that standard Neema 1450 plug that we see right here. So I have it plugged in here I usually have a little lock just so anyone I'm plugging it or messing with it or sticking something in there Because this is on the back of my office and yes, we have cameras. Yes, we watch things But you know keep keep the people up, but I have the lock out of it Making you know so I can get to this and show you but this was not hard to install Please if you're dealing with high voltage Get a great electrician to this don't do it yourself unless you're really confident that you won't Destroy something destroy yourself or burn the house down burn the building down etc. Etc. We are lucky This is where our mains come in and it goes through this wall And right next to it is the box and we just had to pop a hole right through the Cement here and come through with the heavy gauge wire and it was really easy to install So this was actually a pretty easy install for us because literally my electrical box is just on the other side of this wall So once you have it installed and we weather sealed this really good you can buy this I'll leave a link where you can get an Amazon or you can buy these at Lowe's Home Depot There's nothing strange about this plug overall. I think like the plug and the Oh job box Electrical box and the sealant and everything was like a $60 project Maybe 65 bucks worth of parts to make all this happen It doesn't cost a whole lot to make to put this part in and then with the juice box in the reason I have a plug in the juice box was kind of expensive This is a little over $500 for the juice boxes. I wanted all the stats You can go with some of the cheaper chargers But the juice box is super solid super heavy gauge wire like really really nice and this You're here in a metal box. So if something were to go horrifically wrong with the charging circuits in here then The juice box would protect itself and my understanding is these are like just a solid solid box and well performed I read a lot of reviews. I'm going to review it specifically to talk about the stats on it But as far as like construction and design Solid device now the reason I didn't hardline it and back to why I plugged it in was that way if I ever need to I have my backup charger so in the event that something bad happens to the juice box or if I want to try a different charger I can just use the standard name of 1450 plug and Swap a different plug or use my actual Tesla charger So I not stuck not being able to charge the car But this is the next question and this is where stats come in how much does it cost to charge? Well, I'm still working on a couple details with DTE, but let's go at the higher rate that they charge For a commercial business, which I think is 16 cents for kilowatt hour I'll leave stats, but it's DTE is the energy company that is in the Detroit area that we're in Roughly though, I figured that 300 miles is like an 11-12 dollars to charge the car That's when you're charging at that peak energy price if you do off peak And by the way, that's another advantage of the juice box here You can program it to only charge off peak or trickle charge There's a lot of different options on there generally you just leave it at full charge and tell it don't charge between these hours It's got some when I do my review of it I'll dig into some of the details of how that works, but you know peak in according to DTE peak energy is between 3 and 7 p.m. And that is when they charge you a higher rate They charge you less to operate it at night So if you're someone like a lot of my friends who have this in their garage I have a charging setup never not even home till after 7 so they don't even have a thought about it They just plug the car in and even if you have it set to not even turn on till after 7 and you plug the car in before then The car will just start charging when it clicks on so it saves you a lot of money that way because they go in DTE's rate For residential goes from 15 cents at peak hours to only 6 cents So now you're talking about filling this car up for like, you know $5 or less to give a full 300 mile range But generally is on a on the daily because of maybe you know I guess a busy days a hundred something miles for me a slower days like 20 or 30 miles of driving going and visiting customers or if I Don't visit anyone. I only drive three miles To here from my house and three miles back and I wouldn't even why bother charging it because it you know Six miles barely move the battery any on this model three. So it's pretty easy though. You just show up It charges every day So you don't think of it in the same way like you would I have to stop and fill up or inconvenient Obviously, there's a few factors. You need to consider one You know, do you have a spot to put it at your house? Someone had commented they live in apartments and it's just not feasible for them and that would be correct unless you can Coerce the apartment owner to put in this charging system. Yeah, that may be a problem A lot of parking garages though like in downtown Detroit have been outfitted with them And I've seen this be more and more common where a lot of places have it which is kind of cool So if you live in an area like that awesome So it's another consideration when you're buying an electric cars where you're gonna plug it in We also someone brought up an interesting I didn't think of this But yes, you can get an extension cord and really long cords for this But there's a few areas where the older parts of the city have no driveways Everyone has to park in front of their house You can get an electrician to bury a line and bring it out in the front this whole The juice box all waterproof watertight. So is this so you can build a structure And matter of fact my friend for his other businesses He has a human several commercial properties and they have installed these chargers in the parking lot So they did the burial and brought it all the way out to the parking lot And they have essentially their own little stations using these juice boxes set up And I've been there and it's kind of cool So I can visit him as a customer and charge my car while I'm there for essentially free And the reason a lot of these places give it away for free is when you put in a few EV chargers Let's see your a restaurant.  I don't have that as an official stat But just generally speaking when you have the enough money to buy the car Hopefully you have enough money left over to you know stop in a nice restaurant So we're seeing more places offer that as an amenity. It's kind of cool to be able to charge your car there It's it's more novel than it is Necessary I would say though because when you talk about it only charging it, you know 30 or So miles per hour depending on what type of charger they put in you're also talking about I'm going there for an hour So I guess it's cool. I get 37 more miles added to my car I may have may not been necessary But I think the concept is there and as we get more of these Places doing it suddenly you just don't think about it and use charge your car wherever you end up I love the fact that it's in the parking garages in a lot of areas like in downtown Detroit because there You are usually there for a while and I was doing some talks at the Wayne State Can take my car plug it in at the EV spot at the Wayne State parking garage for the University And I'm usually there for three or four hours That's enough to completely charge for the drive there enough to fill the car up for the way back And it's just part of the parking in the garage that I don't pay any more You still got to pay to park in the garage But you don't pay any more to park your EV in the garage and they got designated parking spots for it Which is kind of cool, but like I said in the future. I'll do review on the Juice box and more details and all stats it has which is really cool, but charging. It's not that hard charging is very inexpensive Relatively speaking to petrol and I want to eventually I'll do a video where I dive into the more detailed stats of why that is Because there's a lot of numbers involved in it It's really interesting to me because it comes down to the efficiency of the way Electricity is used versus the efficiency a way of petroleum is used because not everybody realizes a petroleum car waste almost 80% of the burning of the fuel as heat as opposed to turning it into rotational driving force One that speaks to the volumes of power that is within gasoline But it also speaks to the fact that yeah, you just waste a lot of heat with a car So the potential energy is being wasted versus there's a whole steps of energy conversion that are just a lot more efficient With electric vehicles, but other than that I'm gonna plug my car in and get back to work and edit this video and upload it


unlearning feels like it's not adding anything because it's learning by subtraction. Not all learning is by addition. A lot of learning has to start with subtraction.


So we spoke about the hydrogen bonds in the helix already in the last lecture, but let's do this using slightly more of our free end denominator now. What is the free energy of forming? Well, you already know that the first hydrogen bond here between residues zero and four that would lock in residues one, two and three. That's one hydrogen bond. If I add a second hydrogen bond, I will lock in three more up to residues two, three and four. So in general, I will have that N residues are stabilized by N minus two H bonds, right? So if we say that what is the delta G for the helix, that's going to mean for N residues, first I have N minus two hydrogen bonds and that's good. That's a let's call that F. That's a good term. I'm gaining energy enthalpy for a hydrogen bond. But to do this, I had to take N residues and lock that into helical shape, right? Locking them into helical shape means losing entropy. So there is going to be T times S here. So it's N residues multiplied by the temperature multiplied by S alpha. That is the entropy difference of moving one residue to a helix. So we have N in two places here. We can write this in a slightly different way. So what if I write this as minus two F H bond, that's constant, plus N multiplied by F H bond minus temperature S alpha. What this gives me is one term here that's constant and one that depends on the number of residues in the helix. And we can write that as delta G in it plus delta G elongation or extension. That's what the book does. So that means that there's one component for the entire helix stability. There is one component that's kind of fixed when we're starting the helix and then a second component that depends on the elongation and that one which is multiplied by the number of residues we put there. Because then we can study this as a function of the residue. The book and a few other places, we can look at this in a few different ways. The probability then of something being in a helix, if I let me draw that up here. The probability of being in a helix, that's e raised to minus delta G in it divided by kT multiplied by e raised to minus delta G elongation. I'm going to need to make that short. So there are kind of two components here. One component that determines the initiation and one that determines the elongation. The second one we're going to need to multiply by n right. And that means that we can kind of consider this term separately. So if we call this something, we call that that is a parameter sigma. And the second one is a parameter s raised to the power of n. So sigma is some sort of equilibrium constant describing how likely it is to initiate a helix. And the s parameter is something that describes for each residue here how likely is it to elongate that into a helix. And then we have to raise that to the number of residues. I'm not going to talk that much about sigma and s. They're just convenient parameters that the book uses, but you might see them in a few places. So in principle, armed with this, we can study the whole equilibrium process when this helix moved from either being a helix or just being an extended coil and see where that takes us if we can say something about these properties. We're going to need something else. It's kind of hard to measure this. So we're going to need to measure how much helix there is in something. And there's a beautiful and very simple method that we can do that with. Remember that I mentioned the property of rotating polarized light. There is a simple method called CD spectroscopy for circular dichroism. And because helices and sheets, their amino acids have slightly different orientation, you're going to have a very characteristic spectrum for alpha helix, second spectrum for beta sheet and the third spectrum for random coil. So if I'm now starting to say change the temperature of the helix, I can observe quickly and cheaply and simply in this equipment roughly how much of my sequence is alpha helical versus how much of set turn into coil. And that's going to allow us to get to these numbers the backward way. But I'll do a little bit more math first. So by specifying the stability in terms of a cost for initiating it, a cost for elongating it per residue and then the n term saying how many residues I have, I can look at three different cases. So if I look at some sort of delta G here as a function of the length, I will have some sort of initiation energy and that's roughly constant. Here we have n. So first I will go up, I will pay my initiation energy delta G in it. That's going to be bad, right? Always bad. If this was positive, helices would form everywhere, would be enough to have one residue helical like that. We know that's not the case. But then there are three possible scenarios. First, assuming that you had a long sequence that were just pro-lens, in this case they would hate to be helix. So I would always pay by extending it. The more residues I try to put in a helix, the worse it would be. So in this case delta G would always be larger than zero. We will never see any trace of a helix. The other possibility is that delta G in it is still positive but then I'm adding a few residues that kind of like to be in a helix but it's not really, not really gigantically positive. So in here, sure, it's better to have a helix of that length than stopping there but the point here is that delta G here is still positive. So this will not spontaneously form a helix. If I force it to go here, it might go here but eventually I would prefer to go back and not have any helix at all. So this is still bad even though we're starting to go downhill. While the third obvious case is of course if I extending this but the extension energy correspond to residues really favoring helix, at this point it's going to be better to be in a helix say of length 20 here than it would be to keep them in the coil and in this case the helix will form. The only question is how good is this and how high is this barrier because the height of this barrier will kind of tell us how long this is going to take in terms of genetics, right? We can study that and it's surprisingly easy for a helix but the helix behaves slightly different to some other things. So I'm going to need to make a bit of an analogy first.


My goal on this channel is not to make any African country look bad but the goal of this channel is to promote every single African country in a positive light to the world. The goal of this channel is to encourage more Africans to travel within their own continent because I believe that Africa belongs to Africans and it's time for Africans to cherish it. But sometimes the struggles of an African trying to explore their own continent breaks my heart. Things like this that happens at our borders always breaks my heart. I've been deported in an African country. I have been arrested in an African country. I don't know when at all an African love himself because if you treat me bad you are treating your own self bad because we are just one people. I wonder why we are just one people but borders like this keeps on separating us. Can I ask you a question? You don't think we need to change this as Africans? Change what? I'm from Ghana yeah. I'm going to a neighboring country which is Togo. And I have to pass through so many documentations before I go. On your way back stop by and have this conversation because you will be depressed. I'm telling you. I'll be depressed going in here? You'll be depressed going from here to cross the Ghana Togo side and cross the Togo Benin side and on your way back. When she said that I thought she was joking but believe me or not it's more than a nightmare. It tells a pitiful story of who we are that we can continue blaming colonialists for all we want but they didn't go for so long. We need to wake up and smell the coffee. Thank you. We need to wake up. All these seemingly kind of hand-cooked things that we are doing business in against ourselves. It's depressing really. Truly, truly depressing. Look, I'm willing to break a few protocols speaking the way I'm doing because it's dear to my heart. I'm a member of the committee that ECOWAS has set up to look at the reparation of stolen goods of Africa. And we had a meeting in Benin. And I want as a guest of ECOWAS, you have no idea. Even as a guest of ECOWAS, I thought that we could do better and we can do better. The excuses are too much. When they all go and sit down in ECOWAS on our behalf, I expect them to do better than they are doing. I expect our leaders, our presidents, I expect all of you to do better than you are doing. You owe it to us as your citizens and we are demanding that you do right by us. Pure and simple. Pure and simple. Thank you for this. I've been advocating for free movement of Africa for quite a long time. I mean look at Europe. Look at America. Borderless. Can you imagine? 51 countries. And here, just because I speak a different foreign language, foreign language, the language that binds four countries, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria, the language that binds us is Ava. There are people who speak my language in Nigeria. So they are members of the committee that ECOWAS has set up and currently I am the interim chair of the Ava Commission. The Ava Commission has four countries in it and all of us have that common language. Why the heck should the foreign language matter? Just because I can't speak French, they have to terrorize me and make me feel so bad and just because they can't speak English, we have to terrorize them that make them feel bad. We need to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. This is mental slavery. This is indeed a mental slavery. And I wish Africans can understand that we are just one people that were divided by borders and it's about time we start loving ourselves as a nation. There's no reason. Look, there's a young lady here called Sophie. She makes the best yamf food. And we don't eat cassava and gratin. We eat yamf food. Even if I want to go and eat Sophie's food, I have to go through a lot of protocol to go and eat Sophie's food. It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. But why? Same people. Same language, same food, same dance, everything. But we've been divided by this border. This thing, this thing. They suffer for you. It's not wonderful we're being delayed here at the border and they're having us come in there. I became a Ghanaian citizen and I got my ECOWAS card. Now what are they doing? They're not letting us across the border. I don't even know because even me, they're holding me. I'm serious. They're holding me. How is that possible? See, it's possible. They're holding on to Maya. I love the fact that the Dash Prince are connecting back to the motherland and it's time for the government of Africa to create a system that really supports the Dash Prince coming back home. Because whenever they come back home, they want to feel at home because they've been through a lot in the diaspora. You don't expect them to be going through racism in the diaspora and when they come back to Africa, they go through discrimination. This is what we're trying to avoid if we are telling our brothers and sisters to come back home. So, most of you will be wondering what really happened. This is our flower border. I was on my way to Benin to go for the Voodoo Festival that is happening in Weida. I hope we are not going to Weida. Are you going to Heza? Why? So, we are going for the festival. Yeah! Wow! So, as a Ghanaian with ECOWAS passport, I need to just cross the border with no issues by just getting my stamp. I had all the documents for my car and everything but that alone, we had to spend over one hour at the Ghana border, which I think it was even way smoother, it's just that the process was a bit tedious. This whole process is frustrating man, like we spent an hour already and nothing is happening. We had to go stamp our passport, stamp our passport from the Ghana part. We have to go register the car, we have done that already and they are saying that we cannot move if we don't show them the paper so it's like he has the thread over there, you see. So, he is like he is arguing like what is going on, this guy is like he needs a paper before he allows him to pass but I have already taken the paper from us already. And we are in Africa here and we are struggling like this is mental slavery man. And right after that, that is when all the wahala happened, when we are trying to get a stamp from the Togo border, just to enter Togo, then from Togo to Beni. So now we are done with the Ghana side, we are about to face another wahala at the Togo side. This is crazy man. What does it say? According to the law, citizens of the countries of the economy, okay the ECOWAS have the right to travel, yeah of course. But what are they telling you? That you got to pay. But they are saying that they cannot enforce it. That's what they are saying, they cannot enforce it. Okay, we are also going to check it out right now and then I will let you know what happens man. So how much did you pay? Zero. You didn't pay? Apparently at the Togo border they will not stamp your passport if you don't give them 2000 safer. Did they ask you out for money? So did you pay for it? Some of you paid. No receipt. Even with an ECOWAS. Even with an ECOWAS. Then I have to challenge that I am not going to pay, because I have an ECOWAS passport. I am sending your picture to Mama Vera. No, do that, okay. Which I have no problem paying the 2000, but the problem that I had, the fact that they said no receipt for paying 2000 franc. I was there and I saw a lot of people killing and all these people are waiting to pay the 2000. Those who don't have 2000 get stuck at the border. I don't understand this, this is the Togo border and they are telling us that we have to pay 2000 for each passport and you don't pay, we are not stamping your passport and when you stamp your passport, no receipt. According to the ECOWAS law, if you have an ECOWAS passport, it's okay for you to pass through. In reality, any member can not have it to 90 days. They have not been subject to any form of harassment. We are not going to stay paying for our residence permit. You are breaking the law. You are breaking the law. So now we finished this crisis and she's like, I'm not going to take your passport if you don't give me 2000. Come. They mean, they mean. Why they mean? Will you give me receipt for the meal? Wow. They saw me narrating what happened on camera and all of them were super scared and they grabbed my camera and that caused the chaos. I had to fight for myself because even the Ghana immigration border was saying that I'm so sorry, I wish I can help you. But what happens in Ghana stays in Ghana and what happens in Togo stays in Togo. So he has no power. So I had to hold my camera, stand firm and I said, I'm not giving you this camera today, not tomorrow. Let's go. Hello. Let's go. Yes. They thought you were taking the video. That's why they are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. They are here. We don't think that. They said because of the video, that's why they are called to serve. No, no, no, no. We're not talking about our rights. We're not talking about any video. They are talking about our rights. We are talking about the people who already have ever was caught. We've already talked about it. They should not let our sister out and they should not. We have elders here. You people are extorting money from elders. That's not extorting. I'm 78 years old. You asked me for money and I've been a Ghanaian citizen for a long time. We are all white people. You need to stop that nonsense.  We are no better than you. We are white people. You got to stop the ignorance. But they don't get that. You need to stop that ignorance. They think they're friends. You need to stop that ignorance. They think they're friends. You need to stop that ignorance. They think they're friends. But listen, the reason why we do such videos is to change what happens at our border posts. I'm not here to make any country look bad but I believe that the president of Togo and the president of Equas I mean the chairperson of Equas who happens to be my president the excellence in the Nado Dancwa I think something must be done at this Aflau border because to so many people they are scared of using that border. So in order to resolve the chaos I was called into another room by the director of the immigration officers I think he's really a great man because he resolved the issue peacefully. Whilst we're trying to resolve the issue peacefully I saw my fellow sisters right behind the gates chanting let him go. Let him go. Let him go. This gomi moshra to see Africans living in the diaspora fighting on my behalf on the right course because this is what we need as Africans we all need to come together and fight what is wrong. For me, I'm being a scapegoat just for the next people that will be travelling to Togo. I don't want them to pay that 2000 francs. I think it's not even Togo that is this is happening from Togo to Benin border or even Benin to Togo border or whatever anybody that you know let me know your experience in African borders because we need to change this with this video. That's why I'm pleading with you all share this video on any platform that you can and tag anyone that you think needs to see this video because this must change now. I still can't believe that in 2023 an African needs to spend more money to explore their own continent. If I say more money you have to spend more money on flights more money on your accommodation more money by bribing officials to get your way into another African country. When at all will an African will be liberated when at all will an African will be liberated when at all will an African from Ghana will just pack his bag and say that I'm going to Togo without being exploited when at all as a young African can sit in a train from Ghana and say that I'm going to Benin to explore another African country. Sometimes I wonder if the A.U. still exists I wonder if the echo has even functions I wonder if the sadic region listen to the youth of Africa and sometimes don't get it most of the time if I come in here to advocate for borderless Africa it's not because I'm going mad it's not because I'm doing this for personal gains as an African traveling in Africa to promote Africa to the world certain things are obstacles and I wish to see more Africans exploring their own African country without all these restrictions I'm speaking straight from the heart because we've had enough enough is enough I don't know if African leaders watch my video but do me a favor if you're watching this video I want you to like this video share this video tag any African leader because enough is enough what happened to the African passport what happens to an African getting visa on arrival as soon as he enter into another African country Africa belongs to Africans and no one else can come to Africa without the visa yet an African from Africa cannot even travel from one African country without visas why are we our own enemies I think we need to start having such conversations on the continent because we are tired if I want to marry from Kenya it's okay I should just wake up one day and go to Kenya and get a wife without any restrictions these borderless are not our own creation it was not created to benefit an African it was created by a colonizer yet the colonizers are gone but still Africans leading the continent are not ready to change this seamless border that we see every single day and as I was telling another gathering you know these borders and I also mentioned to my brother these borders that you create silos for yourselves amongst you must always remember are not your creation these were creations of people outside of this continent who made these borders not to develop you but to extract from you now that you want to develop yourself we must start looking at these borders and we must start removing the barriers that we have put that have defined and defined us in the past and now hinder us from being the giant that we should be it's super sad I mean if you want to do business in Africa business is not done in a vacuum you cannot trade within a vacuum it's people who trade so movement of people is what we call trading you need each other and you need to support each other and as I always state you are not competitors and I think the big mistake we have made is by making each other competitors we are not competing we have yet to satisfy our respective markets our problem is that we are not working closer together to meet the demands that our people have final message to everyone watching this video yes we should be able to pass through Africa freely as black people period we don't have to stop at borders we came all the way across the water to get here we don't not have to cross borders like this and pay every single time that's my final word to you but I would like to say we all have our proper ID we should not have to stay here at the Ghana border and we are all Ghanians we should be able to pass on to the Togo border we have been here we have been here for two hours and if we have our papers in order we shouldn't have to stop here on this end as opposed to waiting until we get to Togo what's the purpose of the Ekawas card what is the purpose thank you all so much for watching don't forget to like share and subscribe I will see you all in the next Benin Vlog
