I'm like, God damn. I don't think he being silly.  I think I'm already tired, he doesn't come up. That's why I was just like, what are you thinking tomorrow, nigga, let's do it. Yeah, you know we young niggas, we can reschedule. Oh jeez, nigga, it's like, hold on.  I'm really coming because of you. Only, I don't even know what we doing. He don't even know what he finna do when he get here. Oh me, is he Oakland? Yeah, yep, he's Oakland. Yep, OG for show. Hell yeah, man. I ain't gonna want Mr. Cooper, nigga. Oh my mama. That's player. Hell yeah. Them sitcoms, man. Nah, that's not a sitcom though, Raisin Canaan.  Just a TV show, huh? TV series. Yeah. But it's not necessarily sitcom. But yeah, it's a TV series. I mean, if anything, yeah.   Hell yeah, no, for sure. You should have been on Snowfall. You felt that way? I don't even want to go into that. I was trying. I was trying. Niggas kept like bullshitting. Like, in your word, think of that was cat, nigga.  Like, they can give me the one round. It's an old school L.A. show though. Yeah, that was giving me the one round. Did you try it? Did you from L.A. too? You tried to get on Snowfall? Yeah, I did. I did something audition. Like, it was right before Raisin Canaan. But I don't know what part of it now came in. I haven't watched the show like this. I can't remember what small part of it or what it was. Yeah. But I was talking about that earlier this morning. How my cover said, I'm not mad. Dancing did a great job. Yeah. I'm not mad. I haven't watched the show. But the clips I saw, the nigga gets busy. Yeah. But I also was talking about, I'm like for L.A. No L.A. niggas L.A. Yeah, bro, that was my issue. Nobody. No L.A. niggas out of L.A.? Yeah. The only L.A. niggas I can think of is Stacey. Niggas DeAndre Barnes. Okay. That's the only nigga that plays Scully. That's the only nigga I can think of. And I never crossed my mind not being from L.A. I never thought of that until me sitting here with y'all be like, yeah, y'all is from L.A. Y'all should have been from L.A. That's all looking at. That's all looking at. Because you know the band be hot nigga if y'all do a show. It ain't nobody niggas on it. But that's why I was glad that Dub C did a damn good job with being his dialect coach.  I'm one of the niggas that give L.A. like. Yeah. Culture. But it's modern day culture. Do you feel like y'all give him a pass because it's like it's based on the 80s type shit? It passed. I mean, again, I'm not mad at him. I'm just looking at the overall. I'm just like, my whole thing was I'm sure there's somebody from L.A. that could have done it. I'm not mad. He did a great job. He held it down. Dub C got him together. He got all the stuff. And he got the chops too. So I'm not mad because he got the chops and he learned the thing. Because I can flip this around. And I'm playing it. I'm playing it. A New York nigga. You from L.A. L.A. And somebody may be saying there ain't nobody from the south side to make a queen. Yeah. But also Niggas ain't even life skinning on south side to make a queen.  I mean, it could be that. But at the same time, I have to also consider I'm like, well, I don't know how many people audition and where their chops were on the acting side of it. So I'm like, Damson got the chops because you can be from L.A. But do you have also, do you have the acting chops to go with what it requires? So it's the same thing where I was telling I was on my live earlier this morning talking about how the process, which is when you let went by the time people see whatever they see on TV, it had been it been thousands of people auditioning.  They even get you that even want to fight for you to get you to part. Man, what may we say for the thing for the podcast, but no already started Mr. Kelly kickback, man. What's happening, man? It's all right now, man. Mr. Kelly kickback. You understand me? It's your boy Lewis Bell, man. We had the old mansion just chopping game. You understand me? You already know we got why some equality in the building. You understand me? L.A. zone got me and we got a special guest, man. He didn't came back. You understand me recipes my play upon the Teddy Ray, man. He came home with me and Teddy Ray. You understand me? The one and only London Brown, man. Yeah. Yeah, man. Touch my heart, man. Yeah, man. I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad you came through. You understand me? Once again, you know, double them back on the episode. Yeah, we was just talking about a whole bunch of stuff, man. You know, shout out snowfall. Yeah, y'all need to get some L.A. niggas on there, man. That matter. But... Or, man, because I think he just finished his seat. Oh, yeah, he's done. Oh, it's over. It's done, done. I think it's over. Move forward, maybe, you know, but shout out to everybody who did it. But, man... I was like, shout to my guy Malcolm who plays my brother on the show. I think he did like season one or two of it. Oh, okay. He's L.A. So he was able to get on there, but... Oh, he's from the Jays. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. That's all crazy. Man, it's not bringing up L.A. niggas. He passed the word. That'd be watching this. Oh, uh...  All the jungles. Yeah, that's where Malcolm... Oh, for bro. Oh, swear. That go crazy. So that's all... Damn, they got a nigga from the jungles on there. I was like, oh, what show? Yeah, I think he did either one at two or two for sure, but he was on there. Oh, that go crazy.  I think something like that.  For people watching who don't know, that's my boy who plays Lulu on Raisin' Canaan. Oh, Lulu. Yeah. He from L.A.? Yeah, he's from L.A.  A nigga named Lulu. So I'm like, okay. So I see nigga Louis yesterday. Oh, mama. Yeah.  Like, they don't even... You know what? That's what's interesting is that, because I still be, for the viewers, people who are chiming who don't know this, but I'm from Towson, L.A. So when I, when I touch down, I'm in the sloths and swarmy. They really be confused. Yeah, like, what you doing out here?  Buy the 3 for 1 pro club set. What are you on here? You know, let me get some pro... Ain't that like a white tee? I'll stay in the night a little, and I'll grab a couple fitted caps. So I'll go in there and I'll buy the thing. Hey, Nick, what you doing there? I'm like, man, I'm just grabbing white tee. And you sound like us. Like, I know, Nicky, whatever. Get a couple white tees. Nicky, remember what you said? Yeah. But, you know...  Yeah. He acting like LA, Nicky, now. Hey, Lou, Nick, on the dead homies. I just seen that. He got the sloths to grabbing the tee shirt. On the dead homies. Just like us, bro. Nicky had a pro club and tucks on everything. All of that, man. But it's interesting, but that's why I have to also have to be mindful of the perception of me has changed. Yeah. It's because I don't know nothing else. I was functioning before this, you know, before the TV show. So I just... I go where I regularly go. You know, I mess around with me. Gardena, I'm eating Broadway. I've been in the Sloths. So I'm moving around because that's what I'm used to. But I do have to be aware that the perception of me has changed. So when I look in there, I can't be looking like I'm a quick lick. Pause. You know what I'm saying? He look like he got something. No, man. I'm in some sweats and some jeans. I'm grabbing some tee shirts. And I'm picking up some clippers and some oil clippers or something. Yeah. I'm a mummy. You know what I mean? You know, but that's what I appreciate. That's one thing that I appreciate about myself is that, you know... That's what I tell people. I say, when you meet somebody from Hollywood or the industry, if they acting weird, you know what I mean? First off, don't judge them on the first interaction. Give them more than once. Some days, niggas might be having an all-day. You know, I'll give you an example. I lost my brother. My brother was gunned down in 2015. I remember it was in the car, you know. Peace be upon him. I was in the car. Had a whole thing. We talked about it earlier before we got on the camera. We just had these moments of things. I'll tell you a different thing. So I had a whole moment in the car. 20 minutes. Eyes blushed. I read. Nose running. I'm boo-hooing in the car. I'm going to the restaurant. I'm about to go grab something to eat. Some guy run up to me. He said, yo, man. Big friend in the show. Can I get a photo? I said, yeah, man, let's do it. Now, what he didn't know is that I had been in the car. I had a whole little episode. Oh, mama's a whole little breakdown. But when I spoke to him, I just gave him the moment because I understand what people are. And it's kind of like, not that we're the same, but it's the same thing where, with that Jordan mentality, as far as like, I don't know, I don't know. But when Jordan played the game, he put it all on the line because he knew that there was somebody in the audience in the stands who has, or Kobe Bryant, it mentioned as well, who had never seen them play. They had saved them all year long for that moment to see the place that they deliver. And that's what I try to do, try to be in my heart is when people want a photo, I'm like, man, let's come on. There's a couple seconds, taking a picture. There's a couple seconds, take the photo. Low key, if it weren't for the people, whoever that was watching those people, I wouldn't even be able to afford to be in the restaurant I'm going into. So when you break it down on that level, the least I can do is take a, unless I'm not dashing for a flight or something, I really just try to slow down and take a couple minutes to take the photo. Right now, the least I can do is be nice. On everything. Yeah, for sure. And then it'd be crazy too, because it's like having a new addition to your fame. You understand me?  That should be weird.  Like not old, but it's like, bro, we been shot that we worried about the next project. For sure.  It's the people that just watched ballers last night and be like, oh, that's bruh. You feel me? You like a ballers. I was talking about that the other night too, which is I'm so removed from ballers. Yeah. My last season of that was 2019, but it seems so past. That's why people be asking me, they'd be surprised to find out that I haven't watched Raisin Canaan. But by the time we finished shooting Raisin Canaan, I'm already in the club. I'm doing something else and I'm going to get to it. I want to watch it, but I'm just removed from it already. Emotionally.  And let's just say it was a bike, right? Remember the BMX bikes? Yeah.  Oh my gosh. Man. You're telling, right? Yeah. It was like one of the BMX bikes for Christmas. But then your folks tell you, we got the bike. It's here. It's the 25th. You can open it up. We got the bike, but we ain't going to be able to get the chain or the tire or another something. We're going to be able to get the handle for it until six months later. So it's your favorite gift, your toy, but you ain't going to be able to experience it until you get the handle six months later. Yeah. When six months later arrived, you're like, thank you. I'm glad I get to ride the bike, but the titillation of it is different because it's delayed.  That was a bar.  That was player right there. No, but as opposed to when we do stand up, stand up, they give you the whole pack. By the way. You want the gift, you get the gift. The laugh is right there. Right there. So it's a different thing, man. Or even when you post, because I know you going, you going hand on social media, the likes come in, boom, boom. People, they on it. It's an instant situation. So that's what it feels like with, with the show is like, I appreciate it and it's cool. But by the time I actually get feel what I'm supposed to feel from it. Yeah, I'm already, it's six months later or whatever, much later is different as opposed to if we shot the scenes and we were able to watch them at a big whatever, viewing each weekend, that would be a little different.  How do, how do actors get caught up in being a character though? You know, sometimes, you know, people don't let, don't let it go. As far as what I try to do is I try to leave work at work. Meaning, when I'm filming, so if I, hold on, if I sound a little nasally, I don't know what I'm dealing with some signage. No, you could, you good, Pete. I mean, you just travel, man. You just move around, man. You never get sick, cause they ain't never left the house, man. Yeah, man. We get allergies around this dish. That mean we be on planes, man. Yeah. So when it comes to the character stuff, when I'm shooting something like Raising Can, I try to leave it all at work. The only thing that I do try to keep with me is I don't go, I don't break the accent. You know, I don't want to do that. I don't want to be on set speaking like a New Yorker then. When I leave work, then I'm back on some, hey, let me get, hey, pull the car around a corner. I can't be breaking, because it'll be consistent with the work. Throughout the day? So throughout the months. So whatever the eight months is, I keep the accent for sure. No, I don't break that. That'd be bad. Hey, check it out, man. It's your boy Lewis Bell. Hey, Indianapolis, Naptown. Pull up, get your tickets right now. Yes, damn it, July 16th. I will be out there. That's a Sunday. You understand me? So don't find out on Monday. Pull up on Sunday. You understand me? Get your tickets. Do not miss the show. We're going to act them up on the floor. Thank y'all, everybody. But see, because New Yorkers, they're interested too. If I wasn't legit, or if they didn't buy what I was, if they didn't buy these characters, they would be, they would be on as tough men. Facts, facts. So I don't break character when it comes to the voice. Everything else, I try to leave at work. I don't bring that stuff. I don't bring that stuff back home.   Like sometimes Marvin is really quick to, or at least before he got therapy in season two. Yeah, that's my favorite part. He was snapping. You know, he was really going through his stuff emotionally. But other than that, Marvin and London really are the same.  You know, but I like a haircut. I like keeping the clothes together like a clean car, stuff like that. So, and I'm loyal to family.  You know, the food. The food stuff. Cause people ask me about the food, but that's just one of those things you learn from acting or learn from theater, which is what we call keeping some busyness. You know, when I'm not speaking, what makes Marvin interesting to look at part of that is having some food. And it's just a small stuff. I'll give you another example of this. When you watch, if you haven't watched, watch Taken 3 with Liam Neeson and watch Forrest Whitaker. Forrest Whitaker is always playing with his, he had a rubber band that he keeps on his wrist when he's thinking he's going through the process. That's the small business that you learn with acting that just kind of keeps your character interested in just these layers of different things. So it's not, because if I was just, let's just say I could have been just the irresponsible uncle. That's on the paper, that's surface. But how are we going to create these layers so that makes the character three dimensional so he's not just an uncle that just shoots guns. He's not just an uncle with a clean flat top. What's some other stuff that makes him human? And some of that is knowing how to create layers. And that's the technique that you learn as an actor. People think it's just about memorizing the lines. That's the easy part. Shit, that's the hard part for me. I'll be like, give me the pointers. Let me freeze that a little bit. I'll be forgetting the little lines from time. Memorizing the lines as an actor, that ain't even beginning to work. That's just, that's like somebody saying, yo, we want you to cook for Thanksgiving and you make a list of all the things you want to cook. You haven't done the work yet. That's just making the list. That's just the basics. So memorizing the lines is just, you got to get the lines out the way so that you can begin to live and really be present so that you can do things like, I do a lot of improvisation on the show. But in order for me to exist, in order for me to be present enough to know what to say and when to say and how to say it, the lines got to be... I got to know the lines. It's kind of like being a comedian performer. You got to know your set.  You know how comfortable it is. Some can happen that you can get back into your joke because you know your material.  I didn't ever pay attention to it when I was doing skits, but when I was doing the Vince Staples show. And I noticed, nigga, like, I'm so focused on remembering the lines, my body is dead. Exactly. Like I'm focused on that and my body looks stupid.  So what he's saying makes sense because I was like, every scene that Uncle Marvin is eating something, nigga. And I'm thinking, I'm not thinking that's funny. I'm like, that's, that's something funny that was probably written that niggas don't pay attention to. But knowing what he just said, what he learned from theater. And that's something that to give it some life to it. That's why, you know, not to cut you off, but that's why the whole, the whole Marvin Eaton thing was something that I brought to them. And I said, yo man, I would like to do this and keep some busy work. And it was the writer, shout out to Sasha, Sasha Pan.  And so what people don't understand is, and this is with no vanity. I ain't nothing. God, God was beneficent to even bestows upon me. It's no vanity. But people don't understand.  Blocking is where the actors move with the dialogue. So to memorize the lines and figure out where you're supposed to stand and to get the direction from the director.  Lewis, we want you to stand like that and do that. So remember to remember where you're supposed to stand and how you're supposed to stand on top of the notes that they give you. That's already enough. So what I'm doing, I just added another set of pressure away on myself, which I welcome by eating. Because every time I decide, let's say if it's some chips in the same, that bag got to be held the same way. I got to eat the chip in the same way at the same time. Every time on top of the lines, the emotions, understanding where the light is, being in the light, because you stand a couple of centimeters to the right. You're going to be in the dark, you're going to be in the shadow. Just all of that kind of thing. And also being tapped in emotionally. Damn. It's very technical. People think all Marvin's just eating. He just be eating all the time. Marvin's not eating all the time. It's very, it's very mechanical. You can tell he really be the character. Marvin don't be eating.  It's very thought out, man. It's not just sporadic. Because every time I eat a chip, the bag got to be faced the right way for continuity reasons. Because they cut them shots up and they got to edit it. So every shot got to match. So they'll do, let's just say, they'll do 10 shots. They'll do 10 shots of us all together, which is a wide shot. Then they come over, me and Kwan, and they'll shoot you 10 times. And then they go close 10 up in here. Alright, they'll say cut. We'll take a 15 minute break. They put all the crew and everybody on your side. Then they got to shoot the shot, the camera between the both of us. On the same side. Shoot Kwan. I got to eat them chips in the same place. Damn. I got to give him, if the scene is emotional, I got to give him the emotion that he needs so he can cry and feed. So niggas got to cry multiple times? It depends. Now that's what you, that's what you learn.  So now, if you're going to do that, I thought about my granny and did, I gave you all these tears. Now that's where the skill is, which is, let's just say you got to cry. You learn to kind of reserve some of them tears. So if they're going to shoot, they're going to shoot my angle this way, you may give the emotion without the tears. And I say, you know, if it's, you know, for fun, if it's Denzel, look. Look, Lewis, okay, you look. You put the blue cup down when you put the blue cup down, okay? It's not what you know. It's what you can sip, okay? Boom. You do that, right? That was good. That was good.  Did you notice the matter? He did, he did the motherfucking, the hand gesture. That was important.  That was hard. So they shoot, they'll get, they'll cut it this way. It's on me. And then you'll save your tears when they got the camera on you. Because you mess around and give your whole incredible Oscar and a performance on me.  That's like busting the nut. You got to save it. Hold your nut from the front. When you get to the back, then you can let it release when she gets it thrown in back. That's when you nut. I'll give you another one. I'll give you another one. You got to save it, not only when you got it from the front, but after she finished being, you got to, because long as she get her out the way.  What I realized, what I realized is this. We can talk about fucking. What I realized is this. It don't matter how long you go with a chick. If she don't get hers, you still ain't nothing. But as long as you get her out the way, you can do, you can follow right after that. Because even if you go an hour, 30 minutes, whatever niggas do. Pause. And you get yours. You be like, man, I was in for 45 minutes. I boast when she like, but still I mean like, when I'm posting this. But as long as you get her out, even if she get, you get her out the way in 15 minutes. Thanks. And you, right on the 16. Right there. She 15? Okay. That's 50. Ah. You don't need it.  But anyway, some of the point is that being able to understand like, okay, you still want to give whatever performance that the other actors need so that they can feel their emotion.  Now you can get your tears geared up and you deliver. So that's just technical stuff that people don't really understand. But that's why you got to get the lines out the way. Right. If you stuck on the lines, remember, you can't be free to be present so that you can cry or so that you can tell a riff and go into a joke. You got to get them lying. They can't, you got to be, you got to be able to jump rope, drink water and know the lines. Yeah. Now you add another layer on that. Add an accent on it. You got to have the dialect on the lines with the blocking, with the food, wearing the right stuff and whatever it is, that's all the technical.  You want a trailer? We got the trailer. The rock. You want a gym? Michael Jordan, you want a space gym? You want a gym? No problem. But when we call action, we need you to deliver. We need the tears, nigga, we need the, whatever it is you got to do, we need you to deliver when we call action. We'll pay you. That's why they got somebody for hair. You got somebody for wardrobe. So you can really focus, huh? All they want you to do when they call action, bro. We want you to deliver.  Yeah. But it depends on how, it depends on where they are on the call sheet. So for those listening, the call sheet, basically is a breakdown of everybody that's on set that day and the number of priority. Every actor has a number assigned to the name according to the priority of which they are. Meaning, on whatever show, there's a, there's a lead actor who's number one all the way down to the person maybe showing up for a day, they number 67 or 100, whatever it is. So on that breakdown, depending on where they are, meaning if the person is a star of the show, they may have a little more league way and they kind of, they may mess up or they might show up late, depending on how professional they are, depending on the ego, all of that stuff plays a part. All of Ray's and Canaan, the lead actress, shout out to Petina Miller. She's always on her stuff.  What character is that? She plays Rock. She's like the, she's my sister on the show. She's the lead sister on the show. So, she's always on her stuff. When you got, that depends too, if you got a scene with somebody you know that's going to deliver, the last thing you want to be is the nigga holding everybody up. Yeah. So you, if that means lack of sleep, it's been many a nights. I don't go to sleep.  All right. Cut. And you got to keep going, doing take after take because you ain't prepared. Yeah. You get that, man. Do whatever you got to do, be prepared. And I would say, be very prepared. Because when you don't have your lines memorized, it causes, it's a whole delay. Money is time, time is money. Yeah, that's what I wanted. So every time, every take they doing, you mess around to add to the hours of the day. That means the crew members got to stay an extra hour or whatever it is. Stars got to pay lines, gate got to pay. It's a whole breakdown just because they ain't got his lines memorized. Damn. They can stay. Be professional, learn your lines.  It's like bruh.  Marlon Brando, here's the story. I've heard before. Marlon Brando, famous white actor looking him up. Sometimes he, he memorized his lines. So he had cue cards just set up on set. And he was so cold with it. He was able to read the lines and still give you, give the eye contact and all of that. Damn. Read the lines.  Exactly. Damn. Damn. So that's one of them just one of them stories up, the whole of the stories over here about how he would do that. Now who gonna write the cue cards? The only thing they could, I signed incredible because cue cards are small. Yeah. So he had to deliver what he had to deliver, give you the action and be, so, but I just tried the first thing I tried to do get the lines out of the way nigga, so you can be free to improvise cause we quit medias. So you want to be free to improvise and somebody say something funny or you want to respond to something in a funny way. Yeah.    Yeah.  Hella good scene. Did you, Phishisi, Monizzi, it's like, bro, that's not in the script.   Don't even match. It don't even match. So it's all of that stuff. You got to be Yeah.  And that was the only thing I come over. Oh, my husband. Oh, my husband.  That's a whole lot. Like how I mentioned, I be so focused on the motherfucking lines for getting my body language. Exactly. So it's a skill within that. So actors got to get a lot of more credit.  And you got to be so organized. That's one thing I learned about the actors. I'm like, wow.  Yeah. This is what it means. It's like where everybody come together and it's like somebody write a script and then table read. I had to do a table read with Melvin Greg. Them niggas had highlighters and hella paragraphs. I'm like, y'all really organized. Yeah. But this is what they do. Like, nigga, there ain't no community or none of that.   So like, he's a little more equipped than us in that area. But nigga, whatever tips you can learn to do, this is going to make you better. Yeah, nah, they real actors. You know, usually we keep a journal because, but that's why I always encourage people if they want to get into the TV or the film stuff and I ain't nobody or nothing. This is all God. But however, in addition to that, you know, always encourage people if you can, if you can take some classes, even if they're at Juco or you know, something, take some classes, there's a discipline and there's a presence that you develop from doing theater.  A backstory for those watching is basically how did your character come to be before whatever is on paper? What's his favorite color? His favorite ice cream? What time does he go to sleep? What bothers him? What makes him happy? What's his favorite kind of drink? What does he like to eat? Is there a certain walk? Is there a certain talk? Is there a certain way he likes to wear his hat?  He's not just something on paper. He's not just, Marvin isn't just some uncle. He's a real person with feelings. He's laity. Sometimes the nigga might be holding a gun or he might be dealing with a chick. He might, when he gets orders from rock, he's like the little brother, even though he's the older brother. He's being son by rock, but when he's giving orders to his nephew Canaan, he's the OG. And then with Lulu, they get into it sometimes and they got a little thing, but Marvin low-key, character-wise, and this is some other stuff, but if you really pay attention to Marvin, Marvin is a little bit of everyone. When Marvin is gunning down some Italians, that's a little bit of unique. When he's vulnerable, that's a little bit of his daughter. But when he's giving orders, he's a little bit of some rock energy. Yeah. When Marvin dealing with the ladies, any kind of smooth stuff. That's Lulu. That's Lulu. Yeah, I know the player niggas. Yeah, man. It's all that. But when he's getting orders. Lulu retired, man. Let me play that nigga, man. Exactly. You know, when he's getting orders, he's being Canaan. Right. He's like a version of Canaan when rock is talking to him, because rock is always the one saying, Marvin, you need to be on this, this and that. So, it's understanding how to create layers. As y'all going to this acting thing, I always think about that and not just play with something on the paper. Everybody can play with something on the paper, because that's given. Yeah. The fun is in the details and the subtext was not written. Can you play that stuff? Yeah, facts. What's harder? Stand up. Oh, yeah.  You said that one more time. Oh, mom. Is everybody watching this? Put your nose down, man. As best you can, try to create layers. Meaning, try to discover what's not on paper. The subtext. The words, you know, if you got a good writer, if you got good writers, the script is going to be, it's going to give you some stuff. But it's more so know how to play what's not scripted. Yeah. The subtext. And that's what it, that's what a real, that's what the real stuff is. It's the subtext. Yeah. You know, somebody. Damn. That's wrong. What's harder? Stand up or acting for you? You know, they're different monsters. Like, stand up, it's, it's, the reason that I have stand up over acting because stand up is on me, meaning good or bad, we have the liberty to, to express ourselves in a genuine way. And you get the instant feedback. Yeah. Acting is just, you know, it's just a different monster. That's like, that's like someone saying, you know, depends on what you do. It's like, for example, someone say, man, let's just say, somebody say, is it easy to walk through? Is it easier walking through the projects with this color on? Or is it easier walking through the 60s with this color on? You're like, well, I do kind of those things over there. They're both talented depending on what you want to be on. You're like, well, because sometimes they say, you might ride around and look, if you know the jungles, you, you can navigate through them.  I'm in the cul-de-sac. I only know that good with the training day move. I think everybody really know about the jungle because it's a training day to move it. Right. So you're dealing with that? Turn on Nicolette. It's over with.  For example, it's like, if you were to go live, if you were to go live in Atlanta for nine months, and you come back to the hood, even though you're from the hood, you got to understand that the temperature has changed you a bit more. Oh yeah, it's a good show. Hell, the baby like that all the time.  The temperature's changed.  I'm from LA. When I go back, when I live in New York, and I come back, I still got to check the temperature and just see what's going on. Because you remember, nigga, after the PPP loan stopped, oh yeah. Migos was on, they were pullin' up. They could change me. You got to know the temperature. So that's why you just got to know how to read and assess. So when you come to your question, not to be verbose about this, but when you talk about stand up or the acting, they both present different challenges and just different sides of you. So that's why I'm excited for y'all. As y'all continue to do y'all, because you both y'all already do the acting thing anyway. So I'm excited to see what y'all will come back after your movie.  That's why I kinda know what you talkin' about already. I'm like, my little experience is my little movie role, yes baby. I'm like, ooh, okay. I feel it. And both y'all got credit already. So it's like cool, okay, we've done it. We got TV credit. Cool. But as you recognize, as you move into television and that sort of thing, you realize that if you go from being, let's say, number eight on the call sheet. So you may not be in every episode. You might be doing one or two episodes. You go from that, it's like hitting the gym. You might do 10 reps with whatever that is. And then somebody add a little more weight. So you move up in the call sheet. So as opposed to showing up one or two episodes, now you every episode. That's a different kind of weight. Yeah. Then if you're the lead of a sitcom or TV series, that's another kind of weight. Yeah. Then you go to a TV movie and you realize that it's so many different levels of it. You got a TV movie that's on the budget. I did a TV movie. What's a TV movie? Like a movie that you would see on BET for Christmas.  Lifetime or something like that. Right? So you do a TV movie. I did a TV movie called... I like how that sounds. I'm on a TV movie.  You better stop playing me like I ain't on a TV movie. I did a TV movie, Nick and Mary anxious. It was me and Jason Weaver and some other people on there. Yeah.  Real nigga. That TV movie, we shot that and maybe, and like I want to say like a month, but because it was a month, that means the time is shorter. Mm-hmm. Which means you have less takes to get it right. Right? So, for example, on Razor Canaan, we may do 20 something plus takes and 20 shots just on me and whatever they want to do, they want to get it close to get each eyeball, each eyelid or something like a TV movie when it's... I think it was TV one. We had a month. Yeah. Nigga, two, three takes. You done. And action. Do it. Got that angle. It's the light, right? So, I get three chances to get whatever it is I'm going to get. Yeah. Nigga, they own to you and they wrap that thing up in a day. So, it depends on the budget. All of that stuff counts on how, what makes it more challenging because if it's something like that, that means we got time for actors to be slipping on their lines. Yeah. Nigga, get three takes. Yeah. You got to come in prepared and I was the leader of that. So, if that means no sleep, make it no sleep so that I'm prepared because everybody's dependent on you, number one on the call sheet. Right. So, it's a lot of pressure on different levels, man. One more question. This is going to be, this is going to sound ignorant, but have you ever did a sex scene? Yeah.  Nigga's doing a thing.  I did, I did a couple and Ray's came, one of the ones I did, the chick was on top of me and what's interesting about that is people always ask it, do you think about sex?  You wanted to look real. Yeah. You weren't about the performance. Yeah. Because when it airs, the last thing you wanted to look is fake. Yeah.  We grass nigga.  Exactly. So, you know, when the chick, when we did the scene, we practice it first, we got a sign, waivers, everybody, it's usually have somebody there that makes sure the type of person like to make sure that everybody's comfortable with whatever it is going to be.  Yeah. This is what you need to do. Let her arch her back. Then you come through. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You stand me. Let her do the thing.   This is about the women, brother.  And we talked about that and what she expressed to me is that she said, when women watch it, usually guys, we'd be trying to do the scene like real life. And she's like, it's too rough. She says better when the woman on top. Some niggas be really acting. That's crazy. They don't really probably be like that.    That's what I'm saying. So that's why it helps to do it in a way to where she said, I'm going to be on top. And we don't even touch like that.  Like they, you might have a cup on.  And so it has to be, if it's shot, well, then it's still look, it still looks really, really, it depends on how much shot. You know, it just, it depends on how it's shot. The angles got to be right so that they can stick with the illusion and still sell it. Is Lala on your show? No, Lala's on too. That's on the other show. She's on, she's on one. I think she's on two. She's on the first one. She's on the first one. She on Raisin' Canaan though, right? Lala's not on Raisin' Canaan. She on regular power. She on regular power. Yeah, because she be, oh, now she on being mad. Oh, she was doing that. She be going crazy on every show. I'm like, Dan, is she covered? Yeah, I love everybody. But see, that's why, that's why again, it's just being able to keep professional. So in the sixth scene, let's say normally we should have seen, let's say it's 75 people shooting the scene. When it's the sixth scene, it'll be cut down to maybe like 10. They only have the people that need to be there, which is the director, the camera people.  A set. It's what they call a close set. So the main thing is just know how to keep professional. Like I said, people be thinking, man, do you really your mind? Be how you control your mind? Are you all feeling? I said, man, that's the last thing you thinking about. You trying to make sure you got a good performance. Period. But to any niggas trying to do it, man, keep professional. Don't, don't get, don't be unemployed.  Don't do no extra things. No, they can keep it, keep it, keep it cool, man. Oh, that's a run like that, man. Yeah, this is on you, my boy. Yeah. But um, what I want to ask you was um, like, all right, when you were doing the show, okay, was it like any like pressure upon you being on the show, like, oh, I have to perform this way or I have to do this. Like with, you know, people like knowing that you're going to be on the show was like any pressure on you or you was able to be like, this is what I got to do and you know, the pressure came from one because power was already out. So it was like, okay, we're a spin off of power or is the audience going to mess with it? There's that pressure because they already got, the standards were said so high, the borrowers said high from power. And then also being from LA, it's like, man, you want to, you want to make sure that the action is solid and that the streets mess with it because New York is a different, different, like we're not different, but if somebody came to the Bay, it's a cultural place. They're not, they're not represented culturally. That's not, that's not us, man. So it was that that was the biggest pressure. Once I realized that New York, they embraced the show and I was locked in it was, it was cool, man. So that was the biggest pressure is making sure because it's not like again, it's like, whatever we do is it's, every line is official. Yeah. And all that stuff. So you just want to be as prepared as you can so that you can really be, you can really deliver. So the pressure came from just making sure that I was going to be this New Yorker. Because I had to get out of and my dialect coach was telling me, he said, man, that's too California. That's too California. Oh, man, all the little words, some things that you don't give, for example, a word like we would say, man, even like, yo, can you, you say something like ask me the ask me the question. And we say, ask, but we really should, if I was from New York, it's more like, like, like, ask, as opposed to ask. Yeah. You know, or we may say, Manhattan. And they say, like, Manhattan. So, know how to say little things that you know. You got to use your H's instead of your R's. California, we use a lot of R's. Player, hater, congratulator. Yes, then me, New York. Like, like, it's like, it's like, it's in a core. Like, it's more harsher with the R, like New York. That's, that's it is dope. Like, like, how was it with, with that bro?   You, I say, hey, listen, I tell K, I say, listen, bro, can't say, bro, it was Sam Bro back then. And you, I got to come from 2023, Sam Bro.  Yeah, facts, right? Nick, we talking about, yeah, Nick, we doing the A, he's making things like Sam Munch.  When I, when I do, when I do Marvel, it's more, Marvel's more like, or for example, we made, the way we, LA, California, uh, man, it's crazy out here, how everything go like that. Yeah. Our words are real wavy and we keep it going. Yeah. But a lot of dialect is, you know, it's, it's crazy how we do whatever it is we do. It's like, it's really straightforward or it's really straight. So we don't really, the, the, the pronunciation of the words isn't really, is what it could be. It could be something more like that.  Hey, we doing a skit, my nigga.  It's like coffee. It's like it's really, the vows are really there. Yeah.  So every, everything has, Yeah, every bird, everything. You know, so I'm still learning that. So it's an, it's an, it's an on point class. So every now and again, people will say that they're here before. Every now and again, people will talk about how they hear, hear the New York accent, it's not, it's like eight, eight or not months. It's training all the time. Yeah. All the time.    Just that, my fuck, bro.  That go crazy. Man, y'all just come back, like a New York nigga.       That's how I felt about my nigga stringer bill.  I Never knew where he was really from.  Yeah, like my son mom She worked on Like I think usually the episode of snowfall or promo Yeah, she don't want to tell me that he wasn't from here cuz like she had called me and she was like getting She she a she a second AD. Okay, so like she'd be go to the Assistant director She was like she got the nigga from the trailer, but she was calling me to tell me something with our son And he started talking. He's like, hey, I like those kicks man.   Yeah, that nigga really That's my play upon the man we put this up man shot the damson man He got he got busy represent LA like that man from for for British Cat man. Yeah, sure for sure.  Is there any other accent that you would love to do a movie with like What accent would it be? You know, uh, That's where it gets interesting. I really love the New York accent The southern accent you gotta That'd be a challenging one. Yeah, because I He's gonna be your next episode you feel me as I'm doing I still watch this set from Dev Jam. I still love it when he talk about stand up all night. His name is watch wait Because you know you get you get those compliments all cameras I know you probably bump into a lot of people that give you compliments, but you be like you be having so much like You know it was cool about what cool was cool about this that hold this whole moment right there is that you know You know you watch these cats growing up and you give this quick story I that so I didn't grow a cable in my egg in the house. So my boy Luke shout to Luke get well Luke My boy Luke was the one who said come to my grandmother houses watch Dev Jam And I know I was like what's Dev Jam this is comedy show Martin and blah blah blah So I had a chance to catch Mark Curry and deal and all these other what you call these comics From going to my boy grandmother house and he introduced me to Dev Jam So he really planted that seed of stand up, but he was him hosting Dev Jam was one of my is one of my favorite sets on there to watch because He just got busy man. So shout out to Mark Curry. He's always been solid man. He's been that's a good Good guy. Oh, yeah, man, you know you from the soil man Town business main barrier. Oh, man, you know, we stay well connected with respect the main from the beta LA man That's what this show is about man But he grabbed whatever We pop our skin man. We got no collar. No, certainly. We still gonna pop That's natural and that's like how you say uncle Marvin With the chips. Mm-hmm.  Oh mama one of them Give me a Chicago old-school play niggas Detroit nigga yes, they me Make a little movie about the players ball No, no, and it's crazy.  Yeah, man watch go back and watch that taking three He is suck if the fun is in the details, man Yeah, as fun as in the detail and then also on a show like raising came in man. It's a lot of good strong actors You got Omar on there. Yeah Shake Tony winner and everybody else joy got his audience on there, so I gotta find my whole thing with that show man Is it wasn't is to find ways that I could separate myself so that I'm not lost in the sauce because We don't get them kind of opportunities, so you got to make it work So real quick on this one. I'll let you go on to your time what I did When I landed ballers My character was only supposed to do maybe an episode or two the reason he lasted for five seasons is I gave them something That kept them interested. So when I did one of the ballers man Season one and this is all God. I ain't again. I gotta keep saying it. There's nothing to do with me. Ain't nobody but When I when I did that one it was important for me to develop the character in a way that made him interested So in season one of ballers by default I became the antagonist and How God worked that out is All my scenes were across Dwayne Johnson. So even if you didn't want to see me You noticed me because you was watching Dwayne. So by accident or not by accident by Divinity how God set it up. I was a good-ass word. I don't know what it means. Hey, you said it I know what you talking about. No, I'm gonna say one thing about this thinking what I realized He said a lot of big words. He love to read and like it'd be worth it You don't understand and I remember you was breaking some shit down when we did that panel at the Crescent mall You said a few big words and he like Let me tell you what that word me the word means Oh What You know they never say Mr. Talking to my phone we got a good relationship. Hey, sorry. Sorry.   Yeah, the point is is that I wasn't supposed to be on the show, but Because but by How God set it up it allowed me to play all my scenes across from Dwayne, but that's going to the core of this It's not how to capitalize on Making that stuff knowing how to stretch it and really being prepared and working that stuff So even with that, I did a lot of improvising because I wasn't written in the script. So I Was improvising they was writing and asking me about what to say and what we should go with the character Anyway, it worked out that I was on be able to be on there the five seasons, but it's not me.  I got it. I gotta say that I gotta be very clear. This is just You know me being prepared God lining it up, you know, so you was just posing to get chosen God chose No vanity Melody, you know because once you know what it's our gifts are not for us, you know Yeah, our gifts are not for us once you realize that Our gifts are not for us. You can't even it's like who flosses in a rental car. It's not yours These gifts are not mine. I'm just I'm glad to be a recipient of it God was just beneficent to give it to me You ain't you ain't the game. You just the player in the game. Ain't nobody Yeah, man I just try to make it sound good a defined beneficent since niggas don't know I know before we wrap it up. What do you? I know a lot of people they didn't gave up on this ever because I don't know They said nigga. No, just in the since they in very regular lamestir God was just so Gracious enough to Give give us what we got because we could have we could have been We could have been anything else. We could have been something. No, he didn't hear the question Yeah, the word right. That's what I'm saying. I gave it to you in a very basic term as far as beneficent meaning Just God was just so gracious enough Okay So kind enough to just just I'ma say that say it again beneficent beneficent Yeah, that's that's what it is beneficent. Yeah, so how could I say that to a woman? Uh, that's the sound I need to pop up after you go have have dinner and y'all go have dinner you take her home She called you said man, uh, I I enjoyed I enjoyed She said thank you say, hey, did you get home safely? She said y'all got home safely Uh, thank you, man.    You understand me recipes teddy ray man. He loves you man. He uh, he uh That's my god. Yes, then me a lot of respect for you. Yes, then you already know the love is you love is here, man We appreciate you man. Keep keep keep creating greatness and you know building up your legacy man And uh pushing the culture for man Man shout out to y'all appreciate you for being cool and and I want to shout out Shout out, uh, the og man shout out to mark curry too, man off tops, man. I'll make sure you get that clip man Absolutely. Yeah, that's timeless man. He in the room. I know you hear me. I want him to know man. He's always been super cool To me. I think I think the last time he he off camera hearing this but last time I I read it to him. We was at uh Paul Mooney's uh, we was at the laugh factory one evening went after noon for Paul Mooney because he had passed He just passed away. I think 2021 something like that and uh, that's one of the actually that's one of the last I was at Oakland. I I did a show with Paul Mooney. Oh, that's raw.  It's the truth. Okay.  Like it's perfect You know, but again, this goes back to a lot of this what I think and I I'll leave you with this I know we gotta get mark on here The thing is what I think that makes because people think I don't do void I'm not even that good like shout to jay ferrell jay ferrell Like isn't the person like that's what he do my boy I get in Godfrey in areas These they do voice I do a couple voices that I do But I will say the thing that I think makes what my voice is due versus other people Is the this goes back to theater training is is a lot of people might be able to do the voice But it's it's it's different when you're able to embody The hand movement the body line It's a different thing But that comes from theater being able to embody along with doing uh being able to do Hold on. It's not the voice Being able to do the voices and call out and make sure that it's not what you know is what you can prove Okay Is that What being able to call it's crazy Really the fact is we're not in the same bracket not in the same league So would that be You know, it's like I really appreciate you guys and for for what you're doing. It's easy out That's the youtube clip. That's what I want my page. They got more than my page.  Let mark. Get busy. That's my guy. I want it. Yeah mark. I got a lot of love for you mark It's the kelly kickback you understand me this thug man She you understand me all places for the real niggas can go you understand me.  It's louis bell london brand while somebody calling we going man


Given a basis for a vector space, it's often desirable to produce an orthonormal basis whose vectors are orthogonal with magnitude 1. A common approach to producing this orthonormal basis is known as the Gram-Schmidt algorithm. We'll present traditional Gram-Schmidt first, and then we'll present a better approach. Stop, stop, stop! Don't skip ahead to the better approach. See why Gram-Schmidt works in the first place so that you understand why the better approach is better and it still works. So, suppose we have our set of basis vectors. We want to produce an orthonormal basis. Now, since normalizing a vector almost always requires multiplying by a radical and never changes the direction of the vectors, we'll normalize our vectors at the end. Now, since we have to start somewhere, we'll start by letting w1 equal v1. And we can think about this as the first vector in our orthogonal basis. We want a second vector w2 to be orthogonal to w1. And here's the important concept. If v2 is already orthogonal, we can let w2 equal v2 and be done. But if not, we can remove the part of v2 that is parallel to w1. And here's what that geometry might look like. And so we can think of v2 as some scalar multiple of w1 plus an orthogonal vector w2. So we want the projection of v2 onto w1. And if you don't remember what that looks like, that's going to be the dot product of the two vectors divided by the dot product of the vector we're projecting onto pointed in the direction of that vector. So by the geometry, we see that we want w2 to be v2 minus that projection. And we can generalize this. For w3, we'll start with that vector v3, and then we'll remove the parts of the vectors that are parallel to either w1 or w2. And these are the projections onto these vectors. So for w3, we'll take v3, we'll subtract the projection onto w1, then we'll subtract the projection onto w2, and lather, rinse, repeat. Now if I don't show Gram-Schmidt done this way, I'll have my mathematician card revoked. So we'll do one traditional example, but don't worry too much about the details because they do get nightmarish rather quickly. So let's find an orthogonal basis for the vector space spanned by this rather innocuous set of vectors. So again, the first vector in our orthogonal set is going to be the first vector in our original set. For the second vector, we'll take that second vector in our orthogonal set and subtract off the component that is parallel to the first vector in our orthogonal set. And that's just our projection vector, and so we find. If we muddle through the dot products, we get the third vector in our orthogonal set. We'll start with the third vector in our original set and subtract off the projections onto the other two vectors, 1, 3, 4, and the, well, this thing. And so wading our way through the dot product in the projection formulas we get. Now you can memorize the formula for finding the Gram-Schmidt decomposition. But remember, don't memorize formulas, understand concepts. So we have the formula for that second orthogonal vector. But notice that this also means that w2 is a linear combination of the first orthogonal vector w1 and the vector we're replacing, v2. Similarly, we have our formula for w3, but this means that w3 is a linear combination of w1, w2, the first two orthogonal vectors in our new basis, and v3, the vector we're replacing in the original basis. And so the basic concept is that we form an orthogonal basis by linear combinations of the current set of orthogonal vectors and the next vector in our original non-orthogonal basis. Which makes this a linear algebra problem. So again, we let w1 be our first vector. And we want that second orthogonal vector to be a linear combination of our first orthogonal vector and the vector we're replacing from the original set. Since we want w2 to be orthogonal to w1, we know the dot product will be zero. So if we dot both sides with w1 we get. And we can find the dot products, which gives us the equation. And we can find one solution, x2 equals 26, x1 equals negative 11, which gives us w2. Next we want our third orthogonal vector to be a linear combination of the first two orthogonal vectors and the vector in the original set that we're replacing. Again, because we're supposed to have orthogonality, our dot product with w1 gives us. And if we dot this with w2 we get how I have a system of equations. Incidentally, a good check is that since the only non-orthogonal vector is supposed to be this last one, then each equation should only contain this last variable and one of the other variables. It's a nice continuing check on our work. And we can parameterize it. If we let x3 equals, well, how about 91? We obtain integer solutions, which gives us w3. Now it might seem that we obtain two different orthogonal sets. These vectors, which we obtained using Gram-Schmidt in its classical form, and these vectors, which we obtained by using the concept that we want our vectors to be orthogonal, as well as the idea that every problem in linear algebra begins with a system of linear equations. So which set is correct? Well, it turns out the vectors are scalar multiples of each other. And if our next step is to normalize these vectors, these magnitude differences vanish when we normalize. So while there may be a difference between the vectors, this difference makes no difference.


Hello community, it's Paulo Azquez with good news. Yeah, they're they're good news So let's talk about it. Remember the tracker curfew this announcement that was done last year right before Christmas where It was like a lockdown for developers before everybody had to be locked down in the world Where developers some of them will be assigned to just looking into the back tracker Like assigning them or triage if they are actual real bugs. So there are maybe not real bugs Or maybe they are considered to deprecated maybe because he was on an area of blender That doesn't exist anymore. Anyway, the thing is that there were way too many bugs They were like two thousand bucks and they had to be triage. They had to be tested So the the the trucker curfew was getting some developers to just full-time triaging reports and Other developers to work on fixing those bugs two days a week Full-time so two days like completely full only dedicated to back fixing which is Which I mean, yeah, it slows down some of the new features, but it's needed for a stable software So if you look at the last blog post by the lie here tracker curfew wrap up You'll see that it was a success actually so on in February the number went down over 1300 issues down so we had around 700 or so you can see here the How much of the the burden was these bug reports so you can see 2.80 already started with almost a thousand bugs Or issues reported then the beta went like crazy And then the release even worse because it blender got very popular 2.80 was a success But we reached almost 2,000 open issues tracker curfew happens. Bam down to a bit over 500 It's good. It's not perfect, but it's good However, we can't just continue with the 500 open bags. It's just a bit too much You can see here the trend. So what's what's gonna happen if you continue this way right now? We have around 30 new bug reports every day, but also 30 ish get Handled every day. So if you just continue like this, we're now gonna reach the ambitious number of was it 200 300. Yes 200 or 300 issues More or less that would be nice to have around an issue can be anything from a Very serious issue with a graphics card or maybe something that is more like a paper cut or maybe something that it's Related to some obscure driver Combination thing I can be anything really so 200 300 words. It's okay Thing is since we have around five over 500 right now and the same number of Bugs every day new bags every day and handled every day. This doesn't move. So two weeks Real curfew.  It means that yes, just like stop whatever you're working on even if it's new exciting new features Sorry, but Blender needs to be stable for 2.83 release This means that if two weeks will be dedicated to this the whole release will be Moved two weeks into the future this this is just to get a very more stable blender So that's the issue that it will move it will move us into June so the expected release date for 23 was the 20th of Main in eight days So if you were preparing a party maybe move it Maybe tell the band to come two weeks later for tune June 3rd That's the third of June. That's the expected release date of 2.83 This also moves 2.92 weeks into the future because if we like if we want the same Features that are planned for 2.90 to make it in time two weeks is a lot of a lot of time for some development Faces especially for beacon one where you get all the new features. So 2.90 you can go here in the Blender developer Page 2.90 should happen at the end of August so still August so that doesn't change that much But yeah, this this should get a more stable blender two weeks later It's not a huge deal. I hope it doesn't affect your work or your companies or your studio But it's it's all for the better. It's for a more stable blender and this could be done faster if The development fund will grow more. So we actually reached recently. We reached repassable 4,000 individual members. So thank you everybody that is contributing to the development fund This is paying the salary of the people and developers working on especially on back fixing so Yeah, back fixing is not as exciting as getting new features But somebody has to do it. So the development fund is a great place for it Thank you for all the big to all the big sponsors and the small sponsors and all the time They have all the sponsors that are making this happen because this is how we get a stable blender Thank you for watching. I will talk to you in the next video. Bye. Bye

It also provides insight into the genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This article was authored by Rehneumahak, Mohamed Inayat Hossein, Mochnumia, and others.


What's up guys? Joe Holland here. Do you want to know how to use your electronics for ice fishing and become a lot more successful ice fisherman and catch more fish using your electronics? Watch this. This is the Lorentz Hook 7x HDI model. Super easy to use. I'm gonna show you how easy it is. It's pretty much the most, it's pretty much the easiest unit that I've ever used. I'm gonna shut her down and show you how quick it works and everything like that. So we're we're powering it on and it's on just like that. It's on that quick. Alright so on your, on this button right here underneath your your arrow button, this gives you all your options and on this screen right here we went to ice fishing mode since we're ice fishing but you do have options for that. You can go to a custom mode. You can go to an auto mode or or you can go to ice fishing. So we're gonna stick on ice fishing then you back out of that. Now you could set your range to auto or you could set it anywhere in five foot increments in up to 30 foot and then it raises till you get up to 300 foot. So this thing's good up to 300 foot deep. I usually set it to what I'm fishing since it doesn't change when you're ice fishing. When you're in a boat moving around it does change. Sensitivity is very important. The higher the sensitivity is you're gonna get a little bit more of return in there. You're gonna get a lot of a lot of stuff you don't want on the screen if you have the sensitivity too high. So what I try to do is just match it to what what the water clarity is and the depth. So right here for instance like 37 is a really good sensitivity level and I'll show you why when we drop this jig down. See that jig's already on the bottom and we're gonna lift it up. So as long as you can see your jig you'll be able to see the fish just as easy and then you want to get out most of the interference too. So there's a fish right there on the bottom. So you know sensitivity level you can mess with that and adjust it to every single hole wherever you're fishing and that's what I do there. Let's get down into the advanced options. You have ping speed. I keep that up to a hundred. I like that thing bouncing just as quick as possible giving a quick return. Noise rejection. I set mine on high. It's either high off or low and you could see this is low now. There's low and then mess with your color line according to once again where you're fishing what you want to catch and I'm usually in like the 80 range. The higher you crank it up the less you're gonna be able to decipher what you're fishing for what you're looking at for a type of fish or what the bottom is and then you turn it down you find a kind of find a decent level where you know like right here I got it down in the 90 at 90 setting. You drop it down like in lower 80s and then you got to start to see like your purples and reds or your really hard bottom your yellows are a little bit softer so when a fish comes in for the most part it's gonna come in like an orange red and yellow when he's really when he's really directly under you. I mean all in all that's that's just about all there is to this unit it's that easy to work. This is a seven inch. The Lorentz bag is made for anything five inch or smaller but you can't actually fit the seven inch in there it just slides into these slots you could put it on a lower lock it in on the lower slots and and you could adjust it up or down like that but the way to get it to fit in there and be able to shut the bag actually is is once you get everything in there just turn it sideways and the bag will zip up but in a nutshell that's how you use it we're gonna show you guys some fish catches with it and and what a fish looks like and as far as other screens this is your screen button here you can get to a full flasher mode you can get into a full flasher mode by just hitting your pages button this is a different page right here and then this gives you a flasher just like your typical standard you know older flasher and I'll show you how that works real quick if you know how to read a flasher at all so that's actually the jig right there that purple and we have the sensitivity pretty high so you're actually seeing the line too and all of this whites the water column and this orange is the bottom down there around 16 foot and then you can see I'm dropping the jig down I'm dropping it down there it is around 13 14 15 16 and it's right there on the bottom now so so that's how the flasher works that's another page that you could use I use that sometimes it's you know being a boat guy most of the time I like the boat view a little bit better the regular LCD screen you get to see like the history of what the fish was doing too so and then you also have GPS which is pretty sweet so you could actually put waypoints down in this unit if you find a good spot when you're ice fishing and go back in the spring fishing the boat or the opposite you know it's a lot easier to find stuff when you're fishing from your boat you could put waypoints down and then when you're when it's ice fishing season go right back to the same spot and maybe fish the edge of a weed line or a rock pile or or a piece of structure too so that's pretty cool too so guys you could see on the screen where that's my jig bouncing up and down and then the fish came up and I kept lifting them lift them lift them and then that's exactly where I caught them and lifted them up and then here he is and you know it just shows you how strong those electronics are because this jig is tiny and this fish is not very big he's the size of my hand and he showed up so easy for me to see exactly what was going on and it made it so I can catch him. Got him. That's a better one. Oh yeah, look at that slab. Pretty good one. Chronics is I like to try to raise that fish off the bottom just a little bit so you're keeping it on and it's a lot easier to catch them once you get them lifted a little bit so they'll get curious and kind of come up and it's amazing the world that you know I never knew existed what was going on underneath for all the years of jigging on my own and not catching a lot of fish and then you get the electronics and it's kind of like teasing them or tickling them into biting is kind of the best way to refer to it is so much easier to catch these fish when you're looking at them and seeing what they're doing. I myself prefer the regular the regular screen where you get to see a history of what the fish has done what your jig has done and it helps me catch fish better than the flasher screen but the flasher screen is also nice and I think it gives you like a little quicker a little bit quicker view of what's going on down there and it shows you that entire water column a little bit better too so I prefer the regular standard view you'd have like on your boat or like the regular LCD view so a couple tips for you and then try to try to get your transducer just as flat as you can laying in the water you know you don't want it off the side or anything like that this is a Loran's transducer made for ice fishing and then when I put this unit on my boat I'm gonna have a regular skimmer style transducer and the biggest differences are this is pretty heavy so it actually lays down in the ice hole but it shoots a lot narrower cone than the bigger one does the skimmer is going to shoot a lot wider cone whereas your ice fishing you just want to see what's going on right underneath you you have that and then and then I'll put it down as low as I can below the hole so I'm not getting any interference from the ice to if I can if the ice isn't too thick and I can get it below the hole I get a lot better view of what's going on down there so those are a couple tips for you I hope that helps if you have any questions put them on the bottom make sure you hit that subscribe button throw a like on there if you like it and let's get out catch some fish


Sorry. I don't want to talk about that anymore, but that was all you you did that Anyway, let's begin the podcast Biceps welcome to episode number 20.  We're halfway through this season.
