People in the Euro area make an average of 1.6 payments every day. As the guardian of stable prices in the Euro area, the European Central Bank closely monitors European's payment habits. So how are we paying nowadays? For one thing, we are opting more and more to pay without cash. Instead, we like to pay by card, bank transfer or direct debit, often using apps to make these payments. And some of us even still use checks. Today, the average European shopper has one and a half payment cards in their wallet. Shop owners are busy updating their card terminals so they can offer contactless payments. But not all Europeans have the same payment habits. People in Spain and Greece use cash for most of their day-to-day purchases. Estonians and Finns, on the other hand, make less than half of their payments with cash. Checks have disappeared in most European countries, but not everywhere. Cash remains important. It is used for more than 75% of all day-to-day payments in the Euro area. In 2002, the value of Euros in circulation was 230 billion. In 2017, it is five times as much, 1.1 trillion. That's partly because the number of countries using the Euro has risen. In this time of changing payment trends, the European central bank continues to foster safe and secure payments for all Europeans. The ECB does this by continually improving the security features of Euro banknotes. For both cash and electronic payments, the ECB promotes innovation. This ensures that we can make payments all over Europe, safe and efficient. So when making a payment, we know that we are in good hands. Today and tomorrow.


And we're back because like I don't know like the sound wasn't working. I could see on my Whatever that wasn't working. This is just drives me nuts. Like I had everything set now It's a totally different link than I've sent to everybody. So People aren't dominoes. Happy Thanksgiving from Wellington, New Zealand. We are going to cook Thanksgiving today. Look at this. Look at this here Let me show you. Oh There's okay, that's not working. Okay All right, I'm gonna lift it up, but it's heavy ignore the lasagna ignore the lasagna So normally I have like, you know, you buy one of those things to put it in and then it's easy cleanup and it's not disgusting But at the store they were so expensive. So I was like, I'm just gonna find out. Do you love this? Do you love this? Do you love this? So Spoiler alert Video coming out this weekend I talk about going to thrift stores and Sorry opportunity shops Here in New Zealand and this is where I got this. I don't know. I saw it at some point I was like, I know I do Thanksgiving every year and we got to do this Yes Yes, I'm just getting on because I'm ready. So here we go. I think I'm ready. I'm probably not ready But I don't do this normally. So it'll be fun Happy Friday. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody in the states because it is Thanksgiving Day there and I am missing it but Um, thank you. You love my kitchen. It's a rental So nothing too exciting. Okay, so Of course Now I try not to prep too much because I want to do like legitimately. This is me Making Thanksgiving. So I've just got this stuff out. I clean the turkey because it's disgusting but you can see I still have all the giblets and Not sure what that is so That's going in the bottom of this turkey because it makes a really good gravy And so the recipe that I use to make this turkey Surprisingly enough is Jamie Oliver So I have been hosting Thanksgiving in New Zealand for the last five years. This will be my fifth year and I was like, I never had to make the turkey Normally kind of like your parents do or like the oldest person. I don't know whoever does it Is making the turkey and so I had never really made one And so I actually watched a lot of videos and that was the one Um, okay. Yeah, thanks. That's the turkey neck See again the first cooking show where we all learn from each other. I love it This thing is going to I don't know how long I can live this or live with this on my head because It's going to start driving me now. So if you haven't seen the turkey, okay Here it is. So it is let me show you what I have. We have a 5.75 k Can you see that 5.75 kg? turkey So that's like 13 pounds of turkey So in the us though, it would be normal to have a 20 pound turkey.  She was like I am in wellington. Oh, welcome to wellington. It is really windy, which is why I think it kicked me out of the first live I don't know the internet. Sometimes it's the only time that it doesn't work is when um Yes, 15 minutes to heavy things. Sorry lots of messages. So I will be cooking and every once in a while I'll go through and check the messages because obviously I have to get this going Uh, what else do I have to say about this? So yeah, so my point was that my mother She makes she bought her turkey 20 pound turkey and it was 50 cents a pound 50 cents a pound Here we go again. We're doing it again. I went to the gym, but here we go This turkey is 13 pounds and it cost me 106 new zealand dollars from gilmores And if you want to hear the story about buying turkeys in new zealand Watch my previous live because I told the story people really like that story But I'll I'll say it if I feel like it today, but right now I don't feel like it so If you don't know my american cookbook is coming out and available for christmas It is in the heart in the physical version only in new zealand Actually, if you're in australia, I forgot that I put it up with a printer in australia and can send it to australia So what I've done is taken all of your favorite american recipes and put it and made it with new zealand and australian ingredients And so it's really kind of made for those two countries, but I will be shipping this in new zealand I'm just printing not too many. And so if you want one I put the link here. You can order it or it's in the description Um, so if you want the hard copy Otherwise, I have the e-book the e-book is nine dollars. This is 20 And then five dollar shipping anywhere in new zealand So a lot of the things i'm going to talk about today are in here. And so this is why i'm highlighting it. So The we are going to be making a lot of pumpkin pies Boom, there it is There it is Um, and so i'm going to show you how to do that today a lot of them are already on my channel If you just want to watch that I don't care. I'm just showing you I made this because you guys requested it Really just you guys just causing more work for me. That's really all it is But it has all of your favorite american recipes and they're selling really well I've sold a lot already just by talking about it rather consistently just because I ordered them and I just want to sell them and be done with it. So And i'm not going to call it a shameless plug because I don't like what people do that If you make something good and great and it's helpful to people Why is it shameless? We need to just whatever You know people anyway Anyway, that's a different discussion for a different day But if you not a cook like your mother your sister, you know, we all need to get gifts You know and like what are you getting that's cheaper than 20 other than like maybe some chocolate? so It's a great gift. So this is why I ordered them because it's a good time of year And it's a nice gift and I will be at some of the christmas markets around wellington. So Maybe you'll see me there Yes, it was very expensive. Yeah, so you can click the link at the top for the cookbook Um, my my my mom. I'm loving that. Thank you. Thank you Yeah, so here we go What else do I want to tell you? Okay, so like I said, no, you can't just do like so it's jamie olivers I was just trying to find the recipe for you. I can put it In the chat after I should have put it in the description. I meant actually I'll put it in the description So it's jamie olivers. He says it's this christmas turkey because you know, you guys don't have Thanksgiving here But it's the one that has cranberries and bacon Because guess what everyone bacon makes everything better Yeah, it's 11 a.m. Here. I don't know why we keep talking about that Am I wrong? Is it not 11 a.m? um Yeah, it is 1106 Uh, yeah, so I am I host Thanksgiving every okay, if you don't know us we are a family of six that have moved from the us to new zealand have been here for eight years and I normally host anywhere between 50 and 70 people for Thanksgiving this year probably closer to 35 So easy as it's feeling real easy for me. So today unfortunately, okay So I wanted to make three recipes with you today. We're going to do the turkey We're going to do lots of pumpkin pies And I was going to make my cranberry salad for my grandma Of course, I forgot main ingredient at the store. So I'll talk about it And if you want to make it you can I will also talk about the other recipes Um I have my oven preheated. Thanks john Uh, actually and you need I just want to make sure that I have Yes, I have tin foil that you have to have tin foil So, yeah Maybe this camera is too high So I will be pushing the camera down when I'm cooking so you can see and this is the best I have made this same turkey every year and It's so good. You guys are going to love this. Oh my gosh. And then I have made homemade uh pie crust All right, I probably should have eaten something. I'm getting hungry. Okay, so pie crust and We're going to make lots of pies. I got lots of pies and we've got Okay guys, look at this. Look at this. Look at this Don't be impressed that is not pumpkin pie pumpkin puree that I did myself. You can do it I bought I bought a huge thing at the american store. It makes eight pumpkin pies So it's just it's just pumpkin puree from the us Libby's if you want to make pumpkin pie like the us. It's the liby's recipe that everybody uses Libby's pumpkin pie, but like I buy it for this time of year because for us It tastes like pumpkin pie that I would have if you make it with the pumpkins here, obviously they taste different and You know, so we don't like that as well. So we buy that for our Thanksgiving Um I have been to casco. I did a video of me going to casco and I loved it I wish there was a casco in Wellington. Okay, so let's get cooking. I got lots to do. Okay Let's see if I can maybe if I get rid of this. It's like I never know how high to make it. Here we go Here we go. There's a turkey. Oh cool. You can see it great Look at the turkey. Okay. So what we're going to do first is We are going to make cranberry butter Look at this all from the top of my head because I've made this many times I'm going to I've washed my hands, but I'm going to do it again. Just so you guys don't mind Really good really good A fresh clean towel I'm about to bake Here we go It is a lot of butter. Jamie Oliver, I think had more But I'm like, I think we're good with this. So this has been sitting out so you want butter that has been sitting out for a while and You need dried cranberries and I just bought this one from pack and save because that's the only place I shop I don't know how any of you afford any of the other ones And I'm going to take most of this and leave some in there Because I'm going to show you how to do this. You will have the best stuffing Making your turkey this way. So for the stuffing what happened, I'm going to show you this then I'll explain the stuffing. Okay, here we go So then I I have I don't like time is what he uses, but I don't got that. So here we go We've got rosemary. I got it. I have it all fresh in the backyard. So you just put that in there Sorry, I still have some of the So we're going to chop this all together. What we're going to make is a cranberry And spices whatever butter And then this butter is going into the turkey and let me tell you it is a game changer because what it does Is it marinates the turkey the whole time? So I just have some fresh That I was using in other recipes. This is just dill. This is some parsley So I'm just going to put you know fresh Is always good. So I'm just going to put these in there as well. Okay. So let me get my good knife Always good to do a bit of sharpening There's ads going on while I'm on the live stream. Well, sorry guys, like this is what I do for a living and I still have to work full time because I don't make any money. So there's that's why there's ads. I had my own advertisement. I guess so So what we're going to do is this is maybe too much. Maybe I don't want all of this Um this one a little Mm-hmm Anyway, so what you want to do is you're going to chop all of this together You want to chop all of the cranberries? Everything together Let's see if I can talk We'll get rid of that That we're going to put it we're also going to put it inside the cavity of the bird. So Um, I don't want to do it. So the bird is nice and clean But we are going to add a lot of butter to this bird Inside and out If you guys have any tricks on doing this better. I know I'm getting so hungry. Just let me go Yes, fresh rosemary. It's so nice to grow stuff in New Zealand. It's like so it's like it's like gardening for dummies Because where I'm from in the midwest It's like you can only grow things in the summer and then it all completely dies out in the winter because of the harsh winters Okay, so that's pretty good you chop it up. And so It's not as easy things don't grow as well things grow really well here If you're thinking about coming here if you're thinking about moving here Also in the link that I have in the description or just pinned at the top Is my free master class on everything you need to know about moving to new zealand is really helpful I just got somebody that contacted me this morning. I was like that was amazing That's exactly what I needed because I just get so many emails and text messages. I'm like Let's just make this easier Okay, if you are coming here, you need to get into my membership, which is there's a black flag friday deal on there as well So anyway, so what you need to do is this is not As soft as I would like so we're going to microwave it Well, bam Yes, I put this up here I will talk about this later I didn't want to forget That's how I forget Okay Oh, but probably just hi do you like my hand probably just 15 seconds Uh, I know You want to move through the us. Okay. I can help you with that too Go ahead and post any questions you have and I'll get to it when I can obviously I'm a bit busy So that's maybe a little bit too soft Anyway, you know, that's a lot of butter, right? It's Thanksgiving. Don't think about it too long. So you mix it with the All of this and you're just going to make see now. It's a bit soft. It doesn't matter. It's just going into the turkey So you mix it Whoo, this is feeling good on my fingers Does it bother you and you like I kind of really struggle making like um, how do I uh the Uh, why is my brain not working? That one meat they meatloaf meatloaf because it's so gross This may not be for you. I don't know how you guys live without paper towels like I'm not waving these disgusting Kind of hands on I mean, I'm just gonna use it again, but I gotta I can't stand it. Okay, so What am I doing? Oh salt and pepper Boy, this is an interesting experience having to like talk I seem to be doing okay What's my favorite part of Thanksgiving? Oh Well, it's the hardest holiday for me to adjust to when I came here. So you put salt boy, that's not coming out very much salt and pepper bum bum Duh-duh-duh and so what we're gonna do is Well, it all depends my favorite part of Thanksgiving is Um different depending on where we are here like my friend from Canada makes the best humor I was like sweet potato pastoral, but it's humor and that's literally the best Okay, so you need to get a soft like spatula like a like a soft end And what we're gonna do is we're gonna put this butter into the bird the butter is going into the bird the butter in the bird got that okay, so um, what we're gonna do is you're gonna take the spatula and you're gonna slightly break the And it's hard you got to get kind of all the way down in there Um, so what it's going to do is it's going to baste the bird the whole time that you're talking with this this deliciousness These herbs the spotter the salt and pepper um And don't worry. Jamie Oliver. I'm giving you all the credit like this was not my idea I'm not a chef. Okay The sleeves are driving me nuts. Okay So what you're going to do is you're going to get your hands dirty again And you're going to go in and you're going to put it Right on as far down as you can you want to get it all in the bird and then you can just move it from the top And that's what we're doing to baste our bird Both sides It's a lot of butter, okay But you guys what happens is is that then this butter makes that gravy Okay, my fingers are getting stuck. Sometimes I have to use the spatula actually let me watch So here I'm just gonna push the butter with this thing. Oh, yeah, see that's better And then we can rub it in And then you can save the rest of your butter, you know I would harden in the fridge and you can serve it with the dinner rolls if you have any And it's like a special date. He calls it the Christmas But it's very Thanksgiving-y with the stuff in it with the berries And then you're supposed to take your hand and I'm just going to get some butter And you're supposed to rub the whole bird with butter and some of the stuff on the outside as well You know, just be generous. This is my turkey that I'm making And you can just think about give the legs Get everything get the legs Um, and then we're going to put the rest of the Herbs right into the cavity Yeah, I'm just gonna be generous with this And I'm gonna let's get some wingies. Let's get the wings Let's get See kids watching from home. This is what your moms do for you This butter off of my fingers Okay Don't judge me with the paper towels. I don't want to hear about it I'm like highly against paper towels and you probably can't be friends. Okay um, and so what we're going to do is I want to I always put some lemons in there and some fresh herbs in the cavity I don't use the giblets and stuff in my Stuffing which a lot of people do Because I don't know I don't want to think about that but I cook it it makes for the good gravy So you just add it to the bottom of this turkey. I'll just actually lift it and put it under them when I'm done with this so, yeah I'm going to take and just cut up this Just a little bit some lemon inside the cavity So I sorry I haven't thought about you guys other years because um I have two here But that looks fine Because every time I like take the turkey out of it and then I was like oh So I'm more herbs and just throwing them in throwing them in this is This is a very much an exact science guys. This is Just do exactly this. Okay Some of this in there Some of this in there. It just what it does is it just makes your gravy so good Okay, do you know how to make gravy from the? From the drippings Well, jamie actually shows you on the video if you want to watch that. It's pretty good We're probably not going to get to that because this turkey is going to take a long time So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put the neck underneath And This we're not going to think about it. We're not going to What is that? Wait a minute? What is that? Yeah, yeah Don't think about it. This looks like a liver You can tell I'm not a medical person would not don't ask me to help if you need medical assistance. I can't even look. Okay So here we go. All right. Thank you to all the doctors and nurses that can't do this You guys are amazing I'm not like a wimp like I've had four children And I can do it if I need to but like I guess it's like other people, you know, so Okay, so now what we're going to do is Boy this barely fits in this thing Okay, I always put a little bit of water at the bottom I don't know why Because sometimes, you know, it it's just going to be a little bit dry for the first bit of cooking That's such a big bird And then this is just kind of the steam from it kind of helps the bottom cook That's my logic anyway, and I'm taking it to the bank and I don't know it's true because I'm a chef. Okay So here we go bum bum bum What was I doing? Oh now we got to do the tin foil. So then you take the tin foil And You're gonna put it really nicely on the turkey and you want to cover it because it's going to be in there for so long Don't want it to be all crispy on just the top So this keeps all the moisture in which is what you want. I definitely want to cover up those bits that are really um, how do I say? Small and Boom, there we go Okay, now I gotta carry this, you know, so like this will dry out the leg or the wing if it's sticking out Um, so yeah, so let me open my oven. All right, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Can you see me? It's going in Gobble gobble Okay Now we can take a short commercial break if you guys have questions There's an ad black friday ad. Oh really? Oh, you want to be a nurse you should they're in high demand high demand Sorry, I didn't put the ad on there. It's not me, but it's you know that time of year I know I know that youtube does a lot of ads this time of year Which generally is good for me, but we'll see We'll see. Okay, so let's chat while I'm cleaning up and we're gonna make some pumpkin pie And this is gonna be good So how many people do I have oh the bacon. Thank you the bacon.  I'll do anything You just strip it on top of it And so the bacon juice goes down into the turkey and into your gravy Unbelievable So then you like hook it like that for the last hour and it's amazing um, yeah So, um It's so good.   This is the most amazing thing um Did you cover it again? Oh, no, I didn't I don't cover it again after the bacon So that's when you're crisping the nice outside after um, you put the bacon on good question. Sorry. Thank you forgot that We should name this turkey guy What should we name them? It is cloudy and windy in wellington And it keeps raining on and off. So it's sunny now. So we'll use it. It's good for you can see me then So that's good. So now we're going to move on to pumpkin pie because I don't like to cook with a mess I'm sure you're with me on this So let me prep with this and any questions you have this would be the time What's my favorite food? So my favorite food at Thanksgiving is Like I love that kumara thing that she makes but um, I love the turkey mashed potatoes gravy with my grandmother's cranberry salad with the And I'm going to talk about how to make the green bean casserole that is that every um Thanksgiving so that you know how to make that uh, I can actually Send it to you too.

It's kind of like the opposite What I do American trying new zealand stuff their channel is doing great. They made it Which is great. Like I'm always in support of other creators because it is not easy and But fun and rewarding and it's great and I wouldn't trade it for anything but like, yeah um Anyway, they're amazing and they're great. I don't know. I don't know them personally. I know a lot of the other ones but um Anyway, my point is that they were making Thanksgiving yesterday and I watched a little bit of it. It was great They were doing good. I mean there are new zealanders making um Thanksgiving so I'm just yeah Yeah food. Yeah, thank you. Thank you food over working. I'm supposed to be one of you too Um That's supposed to I work for myself. So I will be working tonight. That's what that means um Okay, so we have pie crust if you want to know how to make the pie crust it's in here Um, so you can look that you can get that if you want it. It's this it's just basic though Okay, so we're gonna so I have three pie pans But these three may make four and if they make four I'm Oh my gosh supposed to be in school. Okay um, if these make four then We're even better. So Let me get oh, okay. So my my This is how you do it. Okay. So this my flower my computer is sitting up on the flower So I'm just like I'm gonna need to I was thinking I didn't need flower, but that was wrong Okay, let me just put it over there and then I glue it. Yeah. Oh, this is kind of a fun angle Maybe we do this So I'm just going to roll out the pie crust What bam and um, yeah, we should be good to go You know, and it just kind of depends on how thick you want these really I have so I have two bigger pie pans and then one two smaller ones. So I'm actually going to cut this big We'll see we'll see how this goes and we might be able to have four. We'll see I don't know. It doesn't look like it. Oh, I shouldn't have done that. Don't do that. Okay. Let me put you up So you can see what I'm doing. Here we go Well, um, so we are just going to be Rolling out the crust for you I was thinking about doing this ahead of time, but I'm trying to be legit like here. Just watch me make it I don't know. It's if to me it feels uncomfortable to like I'll it's only like to provide value. So if I'm not doing something entertaining or educational or inspirational I feel like why wouldn't anybody watch this? These people that just sit I mean people watch people play video games, but I get that like you're learning. I don't know. It's a game It's fun to watch a game, but like this like It's supposed to be round It's not But watch what I do with it amazing with it Okay, I'm gonna take a break from talking because I'm getting tired of the talking here we go So a lot of times yeah, you can kind of tell when you're done because it starts to curve up on On it But you don't want it too thick a lot of times I do mine too thick So let's see how we go So what you can do is you can just roll it up I'm more of a baker than a cook. So I'm going to have all these tricks that can share with you. So here's my pyrex And then you just roll it out and it doesn't have to be perfect because you're just going to move it around So obviously I have a lot of excess over here. So just take it off a lot of excess over there over there and then you just Use your fingers or knuckles these things and you just push it in So then you just take your excess and you fill in So what because it doesn't matter because it'll all kind of jive together once it's in the oven So you can just take your excess and fill in like that. So then I just make Okay, so I don't normally spend a ton of time on this because You know, my family's eating it. It's just it's not about the looks, right? Just want to eat But since there's all these people coming, maybe I should take some time Actually do this. Okay So here we go. This is how we do Do you guys make your own pie crust? I so in the u.s. They have this pills berry pie crust.  That's what this is Um, well because I don't make the same things you do and so like that type of crust doesn't Work really well. So I've had to make my own All right, so then you do this you do the two fingers like this all the way around And you make it nice. So some of the pies will have actual Spaces for you to do that. I don't even know this one does and I don't even think I'm following it. So it doesn't matter All right one done easy. All right, so let's see let's see How much I have to do these so I have this size these two like smaller sizes So we'll start with this one and So you have actually so maybe I'll just take each three and just start new and just keep them to the side And if I have enough total for a fourth one, then we're good to go Let's see All right, how are we doing soda? Okay, you're seeing ads. Okay. Well, you know It's not I don't know. I don't do that many lives I don't actually really watch that many lives. I don't really watch youtube that much. Isn't that so funny and the youtuber Like this is why when you guys asked me to do a youtube channel So my tiktok community asked me to do youtube channel two years ago and I was like, I'm gonna watch youtube I certainly don't want to video edit So I hire that out Anyway My video editor is amazing though. If you need a video editor, there's nobody better than Ethan shout out to Ethan He is literally the best.  That's why he's good Um, I'm like, oh that video wasn't very good and then here we go. We roll it up Um, let's see this one Oh, I got some butter on the bottom of this one. It's okay. It's just at the bottom Dun dun dun Is this relaxing? Is this relaxing for you to watch? So see how it does not have to be around When you roll it out doesn't matter. You just need to lay it up on there Because I don't want to waste pie crust. So it looks like we're gonna have enough for four I don't grease the bottom because pie crust is mainly made out of butter. It's butter, flour, salt Uh, some sugar and water So that's what it's made out of Here we go And then you do it Yeah, so the the pie so I took the pie crust out of the Refrigerator this morning because it needs to thaw and be nice. It's quite hard when it first comes out of the refrigerator, so I want to do that So what happens is when I make a libyz nine inch pumpkin pie, it'll fill two of these smaller ones So you're actually making one pie makes two pies, which is really nice when you're having a big party Dun dun number two Okay number three Smaller even I think Okay, we'll do the next one So I oh this was from the crust I made earlier this week I made one of the pumpkin pies earlier this week because my family was dying and also because you know, I bought that huge thing of of The pumpkin puree and I was like what if it's not very good. It's like this huge thing. It was delicious So we're good now a couple things with pumpkin pie Do not eat pumpkin pie without So this one is not as soft so Hence the banging without whipped cream guys. So in the u.s. They have what's called full whip, which is basically a whipped cream But here it's good. You can get the squirt one, which is what I have or you can make your own Whatever you feel Okay, last one. Well, I think we'll have four, but let's do this for now Okay, roll it up Roll it up Are you guys getting hungry? I'm getting hungry I have a lunch I'm going out for lunch special friend has graduated from University so we are Celebrating always good to celebrate life, right? Shall we have deep meaningful conversation? Do I make pies? What would you like to talk about? I have been thinking about a lot lately. In fact, when I have like deep thoughtful questions I always write them down on my phone because I'm like I'm gonna look into that more and see what research is out on it and See what else can I tell you? So I don't know if you know this but I'm a professor by trade and I Had published an article I think last year on I really like to study communication is my area I do lots of business. So I love marketing and communication that kind of go hand in hand and so we're studying the effects of nonverbal communication on online learning And first of all, number one, does it exist? Which was already proven by a researcher in Canada and we studied New Zealanders and and then what impact does it have on being successful in a course like engagement, motivation, completion, those kind of factors Pretty good study. Let me know if you want a copy of my paper and it's cool It's just fun. I'm just a very practical thinker. So there we go. Number three is done Are you guys still with me? Oh, it looks like okay, let's go for number four. Why not? So this is my number four pan, which is very New Zealand-y really, I mean they have these in the US, but You don't really, I don't think of making pies with it. I guess that's my point more like quiche. Oh, I'm seeing little bits of Parsley So that's okay a little parsley in your pie crust never hurt anybody. Okay. I could use some more Flour, but you guys are sitting on top of it. So I think I'll just make do but Okay, sorry, let me see you love copy Okay, cool Yeah, so do you guys okay, so maybe so I'm always surprised people don't see this one as a pretty big one So I'm gonna make sure I can Make this bigger here So black friday in the u.s. Is after thanksgiving so thanksgiving is always a third thursday of november and then that black friday is a kickoff of The christmas shopping season because I always get that question people don't know That is what's happening So everybody has off on thanksgiving well most retailers and And then everybody goes to work on friday It's a huge shopping season.

We've got four pie crusts going So now we just need to make the pie. So this is the same recipe. So what I tend to do is make one at a time I'm not going to try to double up anything. Oh, look at this a little bit of extra Not eating it. Don't worry Relax, relax. Okay. So let's do this Let's do this Just make this out make sure everything is good and I am going to Have my liby's recipe out just in case I forget something because that's what happens How we doing we almost there we're almost there Oh, I don't think I could make a whole another thing with you guys. Um I have it all set already Libby's famous.  Okay So you have one unbaked pie shell Now what okay, so there's a 15 ounce. I can't remember now. Hold on. I'm going to have to look it up 15 ounces of so normally you just have you just use one can of pumpkin puree um 15 ounce to cups Is 1.875 cups Now I should be measuring all of this but because I'm a professional baker I don't need to So one cup is 15 is okay. So almost two cups. So it's basically almost two cups Of pumpkin puree. So here we go. We're just going to dig in here to the pumpkin puree And here's one cup And then here's I'm going to show you I'm going to do like that about that That looks good. That looks good. So I always do the pumpkin puree and then It's two or three fourths a cup of sugar Get the sugar So this is I'm about to show you why I'm an actual baker Look at this Who has this big of a thing of sugar? Okay, so I just take a fourth of a cup and I just do it three times This is cooking for dummies Cooking for beginners One two and three Okay Then one teaspoon of ground cinnamon One teaspoon One teaspoon of cinnamon Okay, I'm just going to see if there's any questions This is relaxing to watch.  Can you take a joke if you guys get sarcasm? Sometimes people struggle Okay, one teaspoon. Okay Uh Do you any Yes, um at an american Thanksgiving you'd have pecan pies apple pies cherry pies and multiple pumpkin pies because everybody loves that most people love it um How did pumpkin pie get invented? No idea, but I wish I was liby Let me just say that Uh, okay What the heck go down. Oh, there we go Okay, cool pumpkin pie is awesome. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay So then a half a teaspoon of salt So what I'm going to do I'm just going to say a side note or every once in a while I'll go in Not a half. Okay, so I'm just going to use my teaspoon because Less digit dishes are happier and just do half of it and just fill out half of it Salt and then okay, I got some stuff on my phone. Okay One half a teaspoon of ginger actually I forgot the ginger Ginger, where are you? Hey, don't tip Don't look at all my messiness. Do you guys have like super organized like cupboards and I just throw everything in a drawer So if you're super organized, sorry if I bother you but Not sure we could be friends Okay, what is this? Half a teaspoon. There we go. Half a teaspoon of salt half a teaspoon of ginger Of course it doesn't it's gonna all come out, isn't it? Oh There we go, there we go Ginger fourth a teaspoon of cloves so ground cloves obviously not like full cloves And I'm going to show you I think this is in my recipe What I also add so fourth of cloves and then I add some another thing of nutmeg because I love nutmeg you love nutmeg. I love it I think that's in my recipe book Nutmeg just puts them in um, and then sometimes I do All spice. Oh, that smells good Okay, I won't it's not in the recipe Uh, okay because today it has to taste authentic Okay, so we're gonna get some eggs This is this is the amount of eggs I could afford at New World I saw the egg prices 14.99 guys might you buy two things of eggs is is more expensive than my cookbook um, okay, so two large eggs Always get the free range. Come on guys. I don't know at this point. Just give me a can for Oh one was really orange and one was yellow Hopefully that's good It's like what's great about this dessert is it's all in one bowl So super easy that way whisk Mind keep breaking love the whisks in this country And the spatulas for that matter so I whisk this all together No secret. You just whisk it whisk it together So here's my next problem is in the u.s. It's 15 ounce or one or 12 fluid ounces of Evaporated milk, but this one is 300. Okay, 340 milliliters Oh gosh, I got stuff everywhere Okay, 300 Okay, there's the recipe. Okay. Okay. Okay. Uh, I already checked this but I'm going to double check it 340 ml Two ounces. So that's 11 and a half. So it's 11 and a half in this and I need 15. So that's fun So this should all be like measured out, but we're not you always shake it always shake it And then you just dump it in All right, so I'll put you down so you can see this happening now There we go. You put it in Don't worry. I will be adding more So pumpkin pie is like really runny. So that's what did I say 11 and a half and I need 15 Okay, so three ounces So Okay, what I have to do. So I did this all in my cookbook. Why am I not just looking at my cookbook? Okay So, um, that's another half a cup. So Um, this is what I do. I I should be using my cookbook That's really dumb. So another half a cup. Here we go Okay, and I just went with the full fat. I didn't go with uh, you know, it's Thanksgiving. We're just this is the one day You definitely overeat Ooh, that looks so beautiful. Doesn't it? I just love the the texture of it So this will make one pumpkin pie It'll make one big one. Otherwise, it'll be the two smaller ones I'm just gonna this is like a little bit of egg right there There we go Okay, and you're just gonna love how perfect this looks when I put it in there. It's just like this smooth It looks like silk. Oh, that's amazing and it just always looks so perfect So now there's going to be a trick to this and I'm going to show you it in a minute This just get everything out You don't want to waste any of the goodness I can probably just use this bowl for the rest of them too. It's all the same Okay Okay, there it is Now let me show you what you have to do. You have to do this. Do not skip the step It's tempting. I have skipped it and I have regretted it every time This is what you need to do. You need to take your tin foil And you're just gonna cut off So this pie cooks at 400 degrees for 15 minutes um, and then For another 40 minutes at 160 Sorry 200. Sorry. I'm doing Fahrenheit because I'm American. Okay. Okay. I've lived here for eight years and some things just can't change. Okay So actually this one's a little bit thick And so this is what you have to do or this will burn It will always burn because this is cooked in the oven for so long So in the last few minutes of it cooking I take it off and it comes out with this perfect Oh, not quite. I can't quite get it to there. I should have that one was a little bit overlapping That's all right Because you know I do have However many more I'm gonna get me to get some more of these. Okay, so we have a total of four So this is all set so 15 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius and then 40 minutes just keep an eye on it depends on your oven for Another at 160 and then take these off in the like the last five ten minutes and you should be good All right, there we go. So this obviously will wait until after Oh, it's a little bit All right, how we do an oh my gosh, it's been almost an hour Oh It was like Taking a nap. Oh, I want to take a nap One actually collapsed under its own weight after 14 a couple of turkeys. Oh, this is interesting I didn't know any of this The brand is teagle I don't know. I don't think they have butter ball here. Do they? Um Your kitchen is a mess. I know Yes, now I'm getting hungry. What time is it? So I guess it would be around noon um yeah, so Do you want to stick with me and watch another pumpkin pie or two? So like I will do this again and it'll make um Yeah, I could have a cup and rest. I like the way you think But I probably will finish off these other two. Um, oh my gosh, you guys are so funny They're not that heavy. Yeah, that's true. Okay. So yeah, so I hope you enjoyed this.

Hey everyone and welcome to a welcome back to Norris Cove I'm Yoshida and today we are going to be doing our paycheck budget I know I know I know y'all I had to make a schedule and y'all I broke my glass thing again and I just gotta find another one but anyway let's get started on today's budget for this week the week is let me go to my calendar I know we're about to be in February so it will be January the 29th through February 4th okay so first we have hair for hair this is my slow week I don't even know what to do I'm just gonna put $700 and then for Norris Cove I just put no code uh it's kind of hard to tell because we're going to be releasing some new products we're going to be adding the extras from the box and we will the subscriptions come out but everybody don't always pay this subscription so it could just be a little you know I don't know I'll do 600 now I put this down but my if you're not new here I don't really spend this money it is not mine it goes back to the business we're not making a profit from it it is what it is okay but so total income we're gonna put down 1300 down here I'm just gonna put total I don't think I'm gonna sell anything this week but I'm gonna put miscellaneous and then just in case but so for right now we just have $1300 again we need to work with this 700 here we have to pay for our website that was actually due last week um so go daddy and I think the prices went up I'm just gonna budget for 40 dollars okay next up we have booth rent that will be due on the third I'm just gonna put the important things down and that is 250 um on the first we have cmp which I'm about to get rid of they're about 48 dollars on the second I have amazon I think that's I'm just rounding it off to 16 I think it's 15 79 also on the second we have community which I can't wait to pay them off and they're 30 on the fourths we have walmart sometimes walmart is 28 I think the interest has gone up so it may be a little bit more um we're going to just put them down for 40 so so far this week we have go daddy booth rent cmp amazon community walmart now I'm sure that I have some after pays well it's not after pay because I pay to have to pay off for some of firms and all of that I've done a whole breakdown of my debt and all that not so great stuff I broke down the interest rates but I'm going to do a whole video on how I plan to become credit card free not necessarily debt free um and how I plan to pay things off and down so I'm not putting those things here yet because if there's something left and they'll get paid if not uh it is what it is so let's do some calculating and I've got a setup February's budget I'm a little late in the monthly budget part okay so for right now we have $424 oh also my gas is going to come out this week that is expensive I'm going to put that over here um I spent $66 on Saturday but I know it's going to come out like on Monday so I'm going to put 67 okay um I need to get some products this week I'm going to put 50 for here and like I said that doesn't count I'll probably do a separate whole budget for my um business 424 okay that's our total minus the 700 that means us for 276 so right here I'm just going to put remaining and that was something that I wanted to add to these inserts so I'll know next year I'm adding remaining so that you can carry that budget over 200 that remaining balance over $276 okay 67 plus 50 is 117 over here and we're going to subtract that from the 276 that leaves $159 so now um I can see what I can use this for so maybe one of those quad pays could get paid or anything like that so again we're not considering uh Norris Cove because again that is for you know the business which we do have some things to get but I have a separate budget that I use that for and I just may stop including it in here because like I'm not using it I'm only using it on a separate budget so I think that's what I'm gonna start doing okay so total income pretty much is 700 or we can do 13 uh total bills is 424 that we budget it for total expenses is 117 and sinking funds that's the thing hmm I just did a cash stuffing video but it don't look like I had a money for it but the money I did the cash stuffing is always the end of the week so sorry to tell I guess we're not going to do that today let's do zero total debt payment so we're going to just put uh zero and so the total of the bills and this should be remaining actually I think I'm gonna leave this as remaining so that remaining is 159 159 so yeah my budget is kind of quick and to the point now you can use this for totaling up your bills or like I'm using it is remaining um again these will be totally different and there'll probably be new ones will be coming out probably around the summertime that'll take us into um 2025 so that is my weekly budget for January the 29th through February the 24th if you have any questions about anything that I use today most of my planner is from my shop these paycheck budget sheets I think they are listed below but if not you can find them on my website under budgeting um yeah under budgeting or new releases or you can get the whole bundle I have a video here on my channel I'll try to remember to link it above where you can see me setting it up or going through uh what the budget uh bundle entails again thank you all so much for watching if you're new here uh welcome to the cove do me a favor hit that like button subscribe and comment and let me know that you are new here so that I can welcome you to the cove and all the other coves can welcome you as well if you have not subscribed please do so and I will see you guys in my next video bye


It was this landmark study published in 1953 that radically changed our view about the development of heart disease forever. A series of 300 autopsies performed on U.S. battle casualties of the Korean War, average age, 22. 22 years old, but 77% of their hearts had gross evidence, meaning visible to the eye evidence of coronary atherosclerosis, hardening of their arteries. Some of them had vessels that were clogged off 90% or more. As an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded, this widely cited publication dramatically showed that atherosclerotic changes appear in the coronary arteries' years and decades before the age at which coronary heart disease becomes a clinically recognized problem before symptoms arise. Follow-up studies on the hearts of thousands more soldiers over the subsequent years confirmed their results. How young does it go? Fatty streaks. The first stage of atherosclerosis was found in the arteries of 100% of kids by age 10. What's accounting for this buildup of plaque even in childhood? In the 80s, we got our first clue, the now-famous Bogolusa heart study, looking at autopsies of those dying between the ages 3 years old to age 26. And the number one risk factor was cholesterol. You could see the stepwise increase in the amount of their arteries covered in fatty streaks as the level of bad cholesterol in the blood increased. As powerful as this was, this was only looking at 30 kids. So they decided to study 3,000. 3,000 accidental death victims ages 15 to 34. After thousands of autopsies, they were able to produce a scoring system, able to predict advanced atherosclerotic lesions the coronary arteries of young people. The higher your score, the higher the likelihood you have these lesions growing in your heart. So if you're in your teens, 20s, early 30s, and you smoke, your risk goes up a point. If you have high blood pressure at such a young age, that's 4 points. If you're an obese male, 6 points. But high cholesterol was the worst. If you are non-HDL cholesterol, meaning your total cholesterol, minus your good cholesterol, is above like 220, that's like 8 times worse than smoking.  At your sweet 16, there's just a few percent chance you already have an advanced atherosclerotic lesion in your heart. But if you don't improve your diet by your 30th birthday, there may be like a 1 in 5 chance you have some serious heart disease. And if you have really high cholesterol, it could be closer to 1 in 3. Bringing your cholesterol down to even just that of a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, and you're down to here. And if you exercise to boost your HDL, you can extrapolate down a little further. So what this shows us is that even in 15 to 19-year-olds, atherosclerosis has begun in a substantial number of individuals. And this observation suggests beginning primary prevention, at least by the late teenage years, to ameliorate every stage of atherosclerosis and to prevent a retard progression to more advanced lesions. You start kids out on a low saturated fat diet, and you may see a significant improvement in their arterial function by 11 years old. Exposure to high serum cholesterol, even in childhood, may accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. Consequently, the long-term prevention of atherosclerosis might be most effective when initiated early in life, in seven months of age. Atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, begins in childhood. Remember, by age 10, nearly all kids have fatty streaks at the first stage of the disease. Then the plaques start forming in our 20s, and get worse in our 30s, and then can start killing us off. In our hearts, it's a heart attack. In our brains, it's a stroke. In our extremities, it can mean gangrene, in our aorta, an aneurysm. If there is anyone watching this video that is older than 10 years of age, the choice likely isn't whether or not to eat healthy to prevent heart disease, it's whether or not you want to reverse the heart disease you already have. If your condition has improved, you can reverse heart disease with a plant-based diet. But we don't have to wait until our first heart attack to reverse the clogging of our arteries. We can start reversing our heart disease right now. We can start reversing heart disease in our kids tonight.


So I'd love to welcome everybody back to the Independent Investor Channel. We're going to go over the first quarter 2022 conference call together. I thought it was a good quarter. I really did. I think there was some real telling pieces that came out of the Q&A session, where investor analysts minds are, where the institutions are, and just really what it meant for the progress of the company. And I think that's really the framework that I would like investors to take away from what they were able to generate in Q1 in 2022. I thought there was some real marked progress. I think this was a sign and an indication that this company is far removed of the company that we were monitoring just 12 short months ago, and the progress that they've made along their timeline, especially with all of the headwinds that have really plagued this company since coming to public markets. And, you know, I released this content on about a weekly basis to try to really highlight the company and highlight the company progress as new developments have come to play. And there was really in this investor slide deck here in covering the first quarter call in combination in what was discussed at the ACT Expo, as well as what was discussed during the Q&A. I think if you put those three things together, there was a lot that is going on here. On the macroeconomic perspective here with the trucking industry as a whole, the addressable market that Pylion is looking to go after, the interest in fleets and it's just only growing with electrification and really solidifying that interest through the ride and drive program. You know, I was kind of like, eh, I shook it off when I heard about it. And, you know, there were fleets that went down there for the ride and drive that nobody knew about, only Hylion knew about. And, you know, that that's exciting to know that these fleets are serious about it. They know that the decisions that they make here in who they choose as their solution of choice is really going to be, it's going to be paramount in how they stack up against the industry as the industry is not only electively transitioning, but also forcefully for a lack of better terms in certain situations with regard to the advanced clean fleet initiatives and the OEM mandates that Thomas Healy talked about actually on the on the call itself. These are just the highlights from the call as presented by Hylion, but I thought I would go through it with you guys as a group and give you my insights on what I picked out of the Q1 call for 2022. So we had some insights from the ACT Expo talking about how successful the ride and drives were at the ACT Expo. There were multiple customers in the truck at the same time, taking fleet ride and drives, some of an extended nature. I was actually invited this year to the ACT Expo, so a little bit different to approach this year in really enjoying the progress of this company and how it's evolved over time and the sky is the limit here. I tell you what, as we look at this company just being really brand new to public markets, the company's been around about seven years, but really in the public limelight here for two of those years and really has entered into what has been kind of a tough market with a lot of geopolitical influences going on, the volatility and fuel prices, non-availability of the product itself due to supply chain issues, all of those things the company will eventually fight through. Those things eventually will die out. How long that's going to take is anybody's guess, but the more churn that is generated over this topic with regard to supply chain will only prove to be tailwind once things do soften up and the supply chain does open up and becomes less of an issue in turning out their product, but it was kind of a running joke as to the plug-in availability of the plug-in dependent ride and drives. There was some fighting going on with the plug-in availability, which is probably on a low scale, micro scale speaking to the macro concerns that Hylian and Thomas Healy are quick to identify with and kind of a running joke there in that the hyper truck ERX suffered no such shortcoming there as they are free of the grid and the restrictions that could exist there and being subject to the grid and the lack of availability of fuel from the grid. So pretty cool stuff as the hyper truck continues to impress and continues to garner its due attention in a $1 trillion addressable market here with 300,000 trucks being renewed every single year globally. The question is where Hylian will find its place in the marketplace. We'll talk a little bit more about that as we get into the presentation here specific to the Q1 call. So highlights here, 170 hyper truck orders for production slots in Q1. This is almost double from what was reported last time with 100. This is marked progress toward that end and you know I want you guys to really put this into context. Had they come out and they did not add to this at all, which is a distinct possibility, they didn't. They almost doubled it. So when people are talking about not progressing toward an end or not selling product, these are orders that are backed by deposits. Yes, but they need to be looked at a little bit different. Here's the thing guys, if I was a fleet I would not devote to this. I would not make this commitment and there's a lot of fleets out there that will not commit until this product is ready. Number one and number two, they've had a chance to validate it within their fleets. Okay, so there might be a 50, 100, 250, 500 truck order down the line. They may only start with one.  Okay, it's not to be dismissed. The market is dismissing this and then you go below the surface and you look at the interest garnered on the 2000 unit reservations to date. These are two quantifiable metrics that we will look to embolden. We will look to grow upon going forward as the subsequent quarters are reported on, but I take this to be a step in the right direction and an awful big one at that. So the hyper truck ERX expected to qualify for the full credit with the advanced clean fleet program mandated for fleets. This is basically that incentive that I've been talking about on the channel for many, about a year or more on that incentive and it's something that we did not have color around when we first started covering highly on. They're now starting to talk about this as a real driving force. Now, this almost solidifies that break even for fleets. In other words, is highly on going to have a place in the industry? Well, this kind of answers it for us. If there's going to be a requirement or a mandate, it at least brings highly on in the discussion. It does not guarantee that highly on is the solution of choice. However, that's really where your choice in an investor comes in to say, look, do I believe in the highly on product or not? You're at liberty to do whatever you'd like with regard to where you put your conviction on what product fleets are going to choose, but it would be irresponsible to suggest that somehow highly on will not be in the discussion to somehow benefit from these ACF mandates for the fleets and will highlight the OEM requirements as well. So there's going to be a double whammy. Fleets are going to be expected not to use the excuse anymore to not step into an electrified future, whether it be Bev, whether or not it be the Hypertruck ERX, which does qualify as well as OEMs to actually make sure that before that product is even delivered to fleets that they're meeting those minimum standards for mandates. Will companies go over? Yeah, I believe that they will. And I believe they're work toward at least making those minimum fleet goals a reality within the timeframe specified under the ACF program. All right. Hypertruck ERX commercialization milestones achieve. So following along those timelines, giving us an idea of when certifications, when fleet demos are going to be made available. Hybrid EX deliveries do continue. I thought that the three hundred and forty thousand and Rebs were it was good. I thought that, you know, for a product that's being kind of kind of looked at as a bridge to electrification for fleets and the full Hypertruck ERX product, I think to generate three hundred and forty thousand and revenues was actually very positive and looked to improve upon that. Sherry Baker added a little bit of color on this during the Q&A, talking about an accelerated pace of those revenues, where it shakes out right now is about one point six million on this current trajectory. So to get them to that two to three million dollars, they're going to have to grow upon those revenues. And Sherry Baker alluded to that being the reality of the situation is that those revenues should expand quarter over quarter as we approach the end and close out twenty twenty two into the subsequent quarters. So it'll be nice to see that they're continuing to accelerate that. But, you know, to double up all of last year's year end revenues, I thought was a positive. And then, of course, the five twenty seven million on the balance sheet, we know that Hylian is well positioned in their cash and cash equivalents to continue to fund their business plan over the next eighteen months to get them to that entry commercialization stage and really garner that fleet interest enough to where we're going to approach that critical mass of number of trucks that are needed to sustain the business over the long term. So progressing along the timeline is key here. This is really nice. This adds a lot of granularity around the roadmap coming for the hyper truck ERX status and where they see the fleet developing in light of the supply chain issues that have been earmarked as being a large headwind in delivering these trucks. And it's not just about Hylian.  But obviously, progressing along their timeline, I'll be monitoring this to make sure that at least they're staying on pace just from an investor's perspective, looking in at what the company is projecting to us as to what they see. Some of the things here to note start on road testing of design verification vehicles. They've already got those build slots all reserved and ready to go to deploy the vehicles into controlled fleets. That'll be the back half of this year alone. Winter testing starting back half of this year and going into probably the January and February months as appropriate. And then the NHTSA EPA and CARB certifications. Thomas Healey spoke about this on the transcript as well. That's going to be a huge, huge milestone. And it's just going to be one step closer in meeting these timeline milestones and approaching this inevitable 2023 ramp up to commercialization for the fleets. I review slide information like this for as an investor's perspective. And I just, I couldn't be more happy with the progress. This is incredible. The fleet mandate new and the OEM mandate expected to qualify for 75% of ZEV credits. You know, it's going to be nice to see what that looks like on the bottom line. Is that going to be incentive credits for fleets to look at the highly on solution and be provided a bottom line cost savings of 75% for those of you guys who may understand that a little more than me. I'm looking at it at the surface and I'm just, I'm looking at this as a game changer. I don't know how to look at it any other way. And it's amazing to me how I hear some of the bear cases. And this is why a lot of the reason why I do this every week is because I don't hear people talking about the same stuff that I'm talking about. And, you know, if the continued stock really continues to get no favor in the marketplace, we're going to continue to highlight these incredible milestones here with the company and the regulatory involvement and oversight. And this is something that I earmarked with covering highly on a long, long time ago. Over 12 months ago, I talked about the importance of the national and local governments stepping in and assisting with providing incentive. And you look at it from the perspective, I'm not looking at subsidizing this entire thing from the government. I'm not like that. I'm much more conservative in my approach. What I am looking at is an assistance to say, look, if the Green Initiative is something that we want to move forward for, and I think there's a lot of people out there that would agree, it's something that we need to really start to talk seriously about, then provide some incentive to these industries that are looking to make the transition and maybe taking on a little bit more of a risk with new technology and supplementing old assurances through the diesel application with new technology and providing that assistance to say, look, if you're willing to take this leap of faith into new technology, then we're going to step in and we're going to help you subsidize that. This is huge. And highly on is going to be right there at the forefront as a solution that these companies are going to look at and say, may I live? We can go BEV over here. Maybe we can do a Tesla application here. Maybe a Nikola Fitts or a Heizen type of application, but maybe even the hybrid product, the Hybrid EX, and then the HyperTruck ERX Fitts. And this is going to really kind of force the hand of industry to really evaluate the lines that they run and really look to say, okay, we've run diesel on this line. Is this eligible to upgrade? And I do consider this an upgrade. And so it's not going to be so much highly on selling this product to fleets, rather making it available to fleets to meet these mandates. And if you're not excited about this, guys, you're not looking at the right things. And if you don't think I'm looking at the right things, please tell me. But when I looked at this right here, this is huge. This is a twofold, hey, we need to get serious about this, both from the fleet perspective and from the OEM perspective to make sure that the mandate to the OEMs to say, look, man, the number of rigs that you turn off the line has to be a certain number of low-carbon footprint types of products. You're not going to be able to just continue to provide these diesel fossil fuel dominant options when there's optionality out there in the marketplace. I could understand it if solutions didn't exist. But you wonder why I'm such a convicted bull on Hylion? This is why. Eventually, Hylion will get their look from fleets. And it's my conviction to suggest that these fleets are going to take more of a convicted look at this, as opposed to maybe even more of a viable solution for them as they introduce the Hylion solution to their lines. So a couple things I'll highlight on this slide. It's amazing to me how many customers Hylion has been able to garner interest from as we've evolved in this. And you know, it's interesting, we had our group of fleets out there when we first started covering Hylion and it has changed, it has grown, and it has grown in epic fashion. And as these initial fleets and through the HyperTruck Innovation Council are put out into the fleets slowly through fleet demos, I think the secondary market here is something to be discussed. And specifically, I want to touch on green path logistics who drives for both Amazon and UPS and many, many others. Green path logistics is a big player in the space. You don't think that there's going to be a trickle down type of effect once these companies start to realize the bottom line benefit to their bottom line to suggest that these other companies aren't going to take note. I think that's a really interesting angle to look at this opportunity when we're talking about Hylion garnering this much interest this early in the game, and it is early. And these companies are already jockeying for position and strong fleet experiences at HyperTruck ERX ride and drive events. It's a very, very vague statement put out by Hylion, and it doesn't speak to the amount of fleets that went to the ride and drive event and did not want to be named. Competition is fierce. There's certain fleets out there that do not want other fleets to understand where they are putting their loyalty. In other words, if they're looking at Hylion as a viable solution, they certainly don't want to be beat out if other competition is looking at what they are looking at and then trying to anticipate, like a chess move, what moves they're going to make and when. And this is part of the churn that's going on right now, and it's start. It's really a big piece of the momentum that's being created right now. And at some point, this momentum is going to snowball, and it's going to be guys like myself who sit on the sideline and calmly watch this momentum catch the snowball effect down the hill as it runs away from itself. Because when the floodgates open and this company is providing availability for these products, which I don't want to have happen now. I mean, what's the big deal if we get a 10,000 order from Amazon right now? Yeah, the stock would pop, but we're still in the same situation by not being able to fill those orders. The way I look at this is very, very simple. This to me, almost doubling the orders to 170 and these are orders that are backed by deposits from 100 that were announced last quarter. This suggests to me that even as early as we are in this game, multiple fleets are out there, and they are ready to take this leap of faith. This is without fleet validation, and this is without the required certification that Hylion has earmarked for the first part of next year. These are without these things. So for these fleets to be making these assurances now forecasting that down the line, they are going to be the recipient of some of these very, very first trucks and start to enjoy that bottom line TCO right up right away is a bullish sign. It's just that simple and amazing to me how many orders they've been able to secure. Now it gives us a metric to be drawn upon for follow on quarters to track this Q1 orders for 170 as we build upon that. I'd like to see that get up to 500 or 1,000. Why not? Why not? I think that the truck fleet is so big, and I think if the interest is so robust that Hylion would suggest there's no reason to believe that this backlog of orders backed by deposits can't grow significantly as we approach this 2023 milestone of commercialization. Simple bullets here in highlighting the 340,000 of hybrid EX sales during the quarter continued to see market demand as fleets transition to alternative power generation. We'll see. The bears would say, look, Hylion has done nothing so far. I beg to differ. I think they're approaching this end. I don't think they're lying. I am convicted on the interest that I presumed to be of interest in the fleets. I believe that there's incentive enough and in some cases mandates for the fleets to change. Now the question is where is Hylion going to fit into this equation? Well, that's anybody's guess, but is it going to be nothing? I don't know. I think it takes more imagination to imagine that they're not going to get any piece of this pie. I would suggest perhaps maybe the way things are shaping up. Hylion may get a bigger piece to the pie than what they're being provided credit for now in the open marketplace. But it's anybody's guess to see how much of this addressable market Hylion is going to be able to garner as their product, especially the hyper truck YRX, comes to market and becomes available to fleets. In the meantime, Hylion has pledged their commitment to continuing to fight this supply chain issue that is continuing to loom, which is continuing to persist in the industry. And I'm of the impression that they're doing everything they can do to try to combat this. There's no reason to suggest that they are not. And there's no reason to suggest that these aren't alive and well. And that Hylion is just taking this on the channel right now and incurring some slowdown within their supply chain. And we're just going to continue to monitor this. And the longer it persists, the more back pressure it will provide to where when it does relinquish itself and the supply chain does open up, it's going to create a tailwind. And what was a concern, an indefinite concern, is now going to dissolve away. And I think the stock should react to that news very, very positively when it does happen. But it has not happened just yet. So this slide is a tier two, kind of a dual application here. And Thomas Healy spoke about this during the call actually, where they were looking at long-term opportunity with additional revenue streams. I got my attention. I've been talking about this for a long, long time, looking to take their battery solution to the next level, their proprietary battery solution at that and find other use cases for it as well as their advanced software solutions. And if I was going to give Hylion the benefit of the doubt, here's my thought. I believe that Hylion is looking to partner with and collaborate with industry and not just sell them product. I believe that they are really looking to take on a customer for life, whether or not that is what ends up being in the relationship between industry and Hylion, as you have to be seen. I think once those relationships are fortified, I think we're going to understand a lot more with regard to their software solutions as more of a subscription-based reoccurring revenue stream. And that the hyper-truck Yarex here that is really, I want you guys to understand this is a three-tier application. Now one thing that kind of gets me is the bullish conviction around hydrogen fuel cell. I'm not. I've done a lot of research on hydrogen fuel cell, and I don't really see why everybody is chalking this up as to be the end-all, be-all solution of the future. I actually think Thomas Healy knows this, and I think he's playing a little bit of a little bit of gamesmanship right here. I do. I think he knows how robust RNG is going to be into the future. I think he alludes to this when he talks about hydrogen fuel cell as being the solution that is 10 years away, and it's been 10 years away for the last three decades. I think that really is telling. However, with the R&D that is going into the creation of the hydrogen fuel cell truck and the fuel agnostic truck, I think the way I look at this as an optionality for fleets, I really do. I think if they have the opportunity down the line at some indeterminate amount of date into the future to have hydrogen fuel cell as part of their lines, I believe that they'll opt for that. With that said, I don't think RNG is going away. I don't think compressed natural gas is going away, depending on availability there of the infrastructure. Then a fuel agnostic option, that sounds incredible. It sounds like the fleets have the ability to go back and forth on what bottom line TCO fuel is going to provide them the biggest benefit. It makes simple sense to me. Wouldn't that be great to be able to choose between RNG or where the hydrogen fuel cell costs have come down so significantly that maybe even it's more advantageous to run the hydrogen fuel cell as opposed to the RNG, or maybe they want to run the hydrogen fuel cell to get the research and development and the performance data out of it? There's all kinds of different optionality hypothesis that can be drawn by the opportunity highly on house here to generate revenues in not just the way that they projected in the short to medium term. Thomas Eley did allude to this as well on the call where he talked about the primary focus of the company right now on the hyper truck ERX. I think that is prudent, but I think it's also smart to introduce some of those other options that they are exploring at this particular juncture. Still solid on the financials. This is pretty easy here. No debt, total liquidity, 527 million comprised of short and long term investments in cash on hand, which Sherry Baker has alluded to being plenty to fund their business plan going forward. That was all the initial goal is right now. We are in the early stages of this company in public markets. Yes, the company is seven years old. I totally understand that, but it is new to public markets here and it has accelerated immensely over the last two years. Thomas Eley talks about this. You can hardly recognize the company anymore and how exciting should this be for a guy that started this company from inception to see where it is right now, 18 months shy of seeing this first commercial iteration of the hyper truck ERX is just fabulous and it's to be commended. It's a true success story. It really is and it's really going to be told that way in 18 months. Nobody wants to tell that story right now except for me because I don't look at this company as a $3 company. I look at it like a $60 company and above certain milestones will allow the company to grow into that valuation as well as some additional evolutions going forward as they go global and go over after this addressable market that we talk about all the time and now we're talking about $100 plus company. So I look at it that way. I look at it that way now. I'll look at it that way into the future. When this thing is a $20 stock, I will look at it as a $100 company. When this thing is 50 and 75, it will be the same. But when we're looking at this company on the onset, revenues in between two to three is somewhat immaterial at this point. It just shows marked progress toward the end operating expenses just over $25.6 million for the quarter total operating expenses for the year here in between $135 and $145. So it does speak to the cash burn a little bit. It will be of interest to monitor of course as any prudent investor should. But to value the company right now is really, really tricky and I think it's somewhat futile to be honest with you because by certain metrics you could still argue that the company is overvalued. You could. I'm not one in that camp. I know the metrics that they're using and I think it's an unfair metric. I think that metric right now takes into consideration that the company makes zero money and that their cash burn is 135 million on the low end and that where is that expected payoff? It takes some imagination to presume that they're going to make sales enough to hit that break even critical mass to cover expenses. So I don't think that's why investors are investing in this company. Investors are investing in this company for the prospects of penetrating a $1 trillion industry in the Class 8 space and really not seeing a whole lot of competition out there when we look at the tri-fold benefit of fuel, of payload, capacity and the initiatives and now dare I say mandates to go green. And if you're looking outside or looking beyond the highly on solution, I think that's a fallacy on your end and I think you need to take a double back and I think you need to look at what this company brings to bear here as we evolve toward and march toward commercialization. So if the time for electrification is now then what does now mean? I think this speaks to the industry's acceptance to talk, to begin collaboration, to start to forecast perhaps how the highly on solution can fit into their operations. I think it's important to note that highly on right now does not have their hyper truck ERX available for mass scale and it's important to note that if they were able to garner a 20,000 truck order from Amazon it would mean nothing right now. The stock would pop, yes, but could they fill that order? Would Amazon want 20,000 slots on the onset? No, of course not. They would want 200 and it's whatever the OEMs can look to fill but for a fleet that is as large as Amazon and some of the others, there will be certain percentages of the fleet that will be earmarked for electrification and to suggest the highly on will not be involved in those discussions is pretty short-sighted in my mind and I think it could be a very costly one if you're not looking at this opportunity. Perhaps you don't care about money. I don't know. That's not up to me. I certainly do. I'm not investing in this company now for what it is doing right now. I am investing in the company for what is expected to be an addressable market that's projected to grow by four and a half percent annually from now until 2025. That's where I want to be. That's where I want my dollars to be in an industry that we know that we have to rely on and have historically relied on for many, many decades past but are looking forward in how we can clean up our shipping lines and the class 8 space knows this and they know that they are exercising their opportunity to explore new technology, new innovative technology and in Hylian's case, one that is practical, one that they don't have to change a whole lot. They get to keep their truck. They get to keep their Peter built. It's the exact same thing. They don't have to take chances from a total perspective in companies that have taken on this. I'm going to write myself in as an OEM like Nicola and what do they know about building chassis? What type of rigor and over-the-road performance has been validated by a company like Nicola who's thinking that they're just going to step into the class 8 fleet and dominate right away? I think that's pretty lofty and I tell you what, if you notice here on this slide the words are very, very few. You have to parse words to get to the intent of what Hylian is looking to to communicate but make no mistake about it. Hylian does a great job of communicating the truth from a conservative perspective. They will not lean into something to get into the presumptuous category. They will not. They will state the facts as they see it. They will give progress and I think there's a lot going on behind the scenes that is very exciting about this company that they will not comment on. They are very, very secretive about what's going on, what they're working on, what they're hearing from fleets, what they're looking to integrate in their technology as to what fleets want and they've provided some real granularity around their approach in this. They are not one of those companies that is going to be presumptuous and it's very telling to me when I read the earnings reports from a company like Nicola and Hylian they read completely different, completely different. Nicola doesn't mind saying that they anticipate all this stuff. You can anticipate anything under the sun. Hylian basically tells you what they've garnered and no more. They will not tell you anymore to remain close to the vest because I think that they know that they've got the goods and I think Thomas Healy knows that they've got the goods too and they're going to continue to march toward that end as slowly or as quickly as they are allowed to do but no more and no less. They're going to allow this thing to unfold in a natural state and take these wins, take the lumps where they need to and they're going to allow this company to evolve because they know at the end they're going to be the one stand and when they enter into commercialization and collaboration with the fleets that they serve. So appreciate you guys being with me and reviewing this Q1 2022 earnings call. Let me leave you with a few final thoughts here on Hylian. This company has really tested the conviction of all investors. There's no doubt there's not a lot of investors that have made money on this outside of the short sellers that have taken this thing from the $58 realm all the way to where we sit now with this stock here at a very very recessed stock price. With that said I really want you guys to take away the opportunity that could exist here with the company. The marked progress that we worked so hard to chronicle for Hylian and we do so on a consistent basis. It's super important that we continue to earmark this pro pro progress of the company as we march toward the inevitable commercialization and when I say inevitable I think a lot of people are writing this company off as if it's just not going to do anything. I think that's a big big mistake and there's not a lot of people out there outside of a couple that I could think of off the top of their heads that aren't giving due credit for the progress that this company is being being very open with sharing with investors at this point and I think it's going to be imperative upon investors to stay the course as this thing evolves it's probably going to evolve in a way that neither you or me bears nor bulls can foresee and if we can come to that agreement that this company is going to unfold they are going to find a small or large niche in the class 8 space. The capacity and the the degree of that impact is yet to be determined one sale at a time but I think if you're going to look at this company with conviction and look at it with the lens that I try to provide I think you'll find that they are in a class of their own looking to exploit not only RNG and CNG on the onset but also looking to segue into an agnostic future and a fuel cell hydrogen fuel cell solution future which I chalk up in one word as optionality optionality is key here guys and I think fleets know that I think they're looking at this and saying hold on a second you're telling me that based on the market price of the fuel I can choose what application I want in my fleet maybe we change out the fleets maybe we change certain trucks on certain routes to be more accommodative accommodative on certain routes where fuel costs were low in one category the prior year now things turn on its ear like they always do geopolitical risks kick up and wouldn't it be great to provide these solutions to the industry that they serve in an ability to make educated decisions about how they can save more on the bottom line by being provided these solutions that in turn provide optionality on the bottom line that's what's so exciting about this opportunity it's going to be great to continue to chronicle this story as it unfolds standby for rolls because this is about to get interesting once the momentum starts if it hasn't started already and it'll start when nobody presumes that it started and it'll be going before anybody catches wind of it and those that are part of the part of the story at times like this are the ones that will benefit the most guys thank you so much for tuning into the message leave your comments at the bottom of the video give your give your comments on what you think about the mandates on the direction of the company whether or not you're a bull or a bear be respectful with your comments to me I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who want to come on and just garbage my way without any intelligence thought so think about what you say before you put it into the comment section but I would invite you to subscribe to the message hit the thumbs up button if you like content like this guys thank you so much for tuning into the message and good luck in your investment future
