horse with a speed of light, the cloud of dust, the hardy high old silver, the lone ranger. With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the masked rider of the plane led the fight for law and order in the early days of the western United States. His strength and courage were always on the side of right against might. No man could match his daring and resourcefulness, and nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Returned with it now of those thrilling days when the West was young, and the lone ranger was fighting the greatest battle of his entire career. In a wild and isolated valley near the Rio Grande were camped remaining members of the outlaw of bands that once terrorized the whole district. Formerly they had answered to the commands of a dozen leaders, but now they were united into a single force under the outlaw known as Pawnee Pete. One morning the horseman raced to the camp, dismounted, and delivered a message to Pete. Pete scowled them. The boss says we'll leave Tonto and Arizona to him to handle, Larry. Those are orders, Pete, and he's got the crest to think we're going on taking his orders. Ain't she? Stubb when you go back. Tell him I sent him a message. Yeah? Tell him we've decided if we'd quit taking his orders a long time ago, we'd be better off today. Tell him when he thinks he's sending more orders just to think back to Turkey, and red, lamby, and all the others. They took his orders, and every one of them has been hanged. Wasn't he his boss? We know whose well it was. Now look, Pete, act sensible. You say to tell him to remember certain the boys. Well, why don't you try and remember all the cash you've made for the past year following the boss's orders? That was back a while. Yes, the same. How much cash we made since Graham sent for the loan rating? How much cash we made since that Ritzkin and Arizona started buttoning him? It wasn't anything any of us could have helped. No. All right, Stubb, you'll make your proposition. What do you mean, Pete? The boss has always sent his orders through you. Yeah? He was the one who rounded all of us up in the first place. We ain't never seen the boss. We don't know where he is. We don't know his name. We ain't never even heard his voice. You're the only one of us that knows a thing about him. That was what you all agreed to. None of you was ever to ask who he was. That was before the trouble started. I'll tell you what we'll do. Take us to him. Let us meet him face to face. We'll hear what he has to say and his reasons for it. If we agree he knows what he's doing, we'll keep on taking his orders. But if we don't, well, we'll tell him straight out. We'll finish with him. Sorry, Pete. Can't be done. Yeah? I mean it, Pete. You know what would happen to me if I went to the boss with any such proposition? Right. If he had me a horse whip, that's the least I could expect. That kind of a fellow, eh? Right. Then what I should have forced and... What have you fellas got in mind? We're getting to the bottom of this trouble, man. We're going to start from the Rio and work north. We're going to search out every place a man could camp or hide. We're going to fight Tonto with Arizona. And when we do, we'll drill them in the tracks.  Quiet. You'll make enough racket to tell everybody in the county where we camp. I will keep still. Tonto, you look as though you've been doing some real deep thinking. What's wrong? You think I'm a mass friend. Still trying to puzzle out what he's up to? Ah. Well, he's getting weak in your time. I give up trying quite a spell ago. If he don't want us to see him, I reckon he's got his reasons. And if it satisfies him, why are they all right with me? Ah. So let's start thinking about something we can help. What's that? How to round up the rest of them crooks in the hills. That's plenty hard. That's been hard, but it's going to get harder. Those armies know by this time either they got to finish us off or they're going to be finished themselves. I got a hunch that trying to make force across the border ain't going to be a patch in what will come next. Ah. That's why I say we shouldn't go near Graham's place. They'll be looking for us to get in touch with him. They'll be laying for us. Thing for us to do is to stay camp here in the hills till we figure out our next move. That's right.  Can't you keep still to just one little bit? Yep, Tom. Oh, I say we... Wolf, what will they do? Run for it! Come on! Run for your life!   Get us away!  Out of the way from us this time. But they won't finish. First, you are to risk your back and get the horses. Them two won't get away from us now. I think we gave them a slip. You look... What? Look there. They're still on our trail.  Get them all out of the way. What matter? We can't. Look there. There's some of them there, too. Not others. Oh, God, there must be fifty of them. And the only way we can go is south. I don't know if you want to live to see the masked man again. You better keep scouting and moving.   Get them out of the scouting. Get them all out of the way! Follow us! That's the roof, Father. That's the roof! We've got them on the road. Stand and take much longer, Tunnel. He's just about all fagged up. Man, still cold. Cut them up. Turn them up.  Ain't there someplace we can stop? Make a sale? Can't go much farther. I mean no place. How far away? Well, three miles now. How far them quick behind it? About miles, maybe. Tunnel, I'll do my best. But the way this goes this time, maybe before we get there, the cows will have to carry double. Get them out of the scouting.    Hold scouting. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. We made it. Kind of a dead-end canyon, huh? Well, we could have found the worst place. Can't get out of the ship where we rode in. But we can hold them off there, all right? As long as our bullets last. How about water? Is there spring or anything here? No, there's no spring. Have to get by with what water we're carrying the canteens, huh? No. Grub? No grub. How do you fix for bullets? My belt's just about loaded full yet. You got plenty for a while. No grub. So I'll go on a little water, and one belt of bullets to feed. So Tunnel, this is just about the toughest spot you and me ever got in. But is one thing sure? What then? Maybe the whole bunch will try to get it. But for the time they do, by thunder we'll see to it, there's dog gone few and less. There they are behind them rocks. I know four of them now. Come on. Come and get it, you yellow pole cat. Come and get it. That's the police. Pull up on the canteens. Find yourselves cover. We're gonna blast them out for starvation. In the meantime, miles to the north. Graham stood on the porch of his ranch house, and his foreman reigned up before him.  Graham, did you find out anything? I'm sorry to tell you. But them fellas just came to the swallows up. On an old camp with Ed. I couldn't follow the sand. I don't know what's become of them. Why didn't they get in touch with me? Why don't they know what they're doing? Got them, Hobos. Dan, do you think there's a chance any of the boys have got on their trail? I don't think so, Bosch. That lefty and Bill, and they didn't have as much luck as I had. They met him, and he hadn't got his sand. It was all gonna run a little longer, but I figured it won't no use. Do you want to get back in town? Yes, Dan, thanks. Of course, if there's anything more I can do. There's nothing, I guess. If Steve lost me and the boys, we... We kind of like Arizona and that engine. If any of them happen to be here... I am sure they can take care of themselves. Only... It's just that... well, after all, two weeks have gone by without word from them. And that's never happened before. We can't explain it. What do you do? The only thing I can do, Dan, is wait. He's back. He came back. Bill's back. Why don't I get word from Arizona and Toronto? What's happened? Why can't they be found? Any word yet, Bosch? Nothing. Well, Bosch, I'm afraid... Dan, don't say it. I won't give up hope until... Until... Well... Until I know there did. Bosch! Ah, Bosch, wake up! Wake up! That's you, Dan. Open up! What is it, Dan? Oh, here's this. I thought you weren't up yet. Come on. Come on around the corner of the house here, Dan. What is it? I'll show you. But can't you tell me? You know him better than I do. I don't want to say anything to you and see to yourself. In the name of heaven, Dan, see what? There. Look at that armory coming from the south. Where? That's the... The powdery from the mission. I thought so. He's supposed to be with the Lone Ranger. Uh-huh. That's why I figured if he was coming here... It's often important. He may have a message. From the masked man you mean? Yes. And the masked man may know what they come to Tonto and Arizona. Hello there! Where are your steers? Look at his horse, Mr. Graham. He's come a right for a distance. Yeah. Oh, oh! Oh, boy! Hot lady, you're welcome to my ranch. I'm gracious. How you... Have you come... Señor, I have a message from the Lone Ranger. Come and see me. Where is he? Is he well? Will he soon return? That, he has been forbidden me to say, Señor. But can't you tell me... Did I bring you concerns at Arizona and Tonto? You... You know where they are, Puddy? Why haven't they shown themselves? They cannot. But can't you tell me... They are in the most great danger. Oh, what do you mean? If they do not receive aid soon, Señor, they will die. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scene, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Here's your story. Three days had passed since the afternoon when Tonto and Arizona had taken refuge in a small canyon. Outside the outlaws and of the leadership upon eight feet had made camp. And finding it impossible to storm the canyon had contented themselves by laying seeds to it. Arizona and Tonto found hope of escape gradually fading away. That sent the scum to cover Tonto. Uh... Ain't as bold as they was, sneaking up here. Tonto. What matter? You think you could spare another sip out of that canteen? I don't have much left, but just a little sip. No, we saved water. Tonto, my throat and mouth are dry. I can feel my tongue swelling. Uh... How old bullets? Huh? I got eight left. Oh, wait. I forgot about them, too. I just found. That leaves six. Yeah, I reckon I better load up again. Uh... How many you got? Well, me got... twice ten. Six and twenty. Twenty-six. Well, how's a good way to put it, Tonto? Would you say we were just about two drinks of water and twenty-six bullets from going west and ablaze the glory? Maybe we'd get way. How? Well, may not know. Nope. Neither do I. But I ain't afraid to face it, Tonto. If I have to go... What do you think? Let it be like this. Put a gun in my hand and my boots on. There are a few kids in there who have held on this long, I don't know. But we'll get them. We'll finish them off if we have to stay here and do it with it. At the same time, in the town of Stanley, two men grew up on foam-flexed horses before the office of the sheriff. Dan, stay with the horses. I'll be out as quick as I can. Sheriff, this time you're going to listen to me. You're not going to dodge and squirm and think of excuses. Ever since you've been in office, you've been afraid to go after the outlaws that have made the law in this county a joke. Well, now there's going to be a showdown. What's that all for? I told you I hadn't seen Tonto and Arizona for weeks. Now look, Graham, I searched everywhere for them, too, and so have my deputies. They've been found. What? And if they aren't rescued shortly, they won't live to tell the story. Hey, where are they? How do you find them? I didn't. The progress from the mission was at my place. The Lone Ranger had sent him. The Lone Ranger? Tonto and Arizona are in a small canyon about five miles this side of the real, holding off every outlaw in the district. That corner? Yes. And you know how to reach them? If we can go there and force and start at once, I'll take you there. You'll go? Why go, Gown, you Graham? Didn't Tonto and Arizona save my life when I thought I was done for once? I know that. Didn't they come here and do my job for me and try to give me the credit? Yes. Eight and two armors worth any dozen other gents in this county? Then I'll go. You'll need help. I'll round up every man in town able to carry a gun. Then hurry. Hurry! Just stay out of my way. Start the other end of town. Now take this. Any man can handle irons that don't want to come. Drag him up by his ear. Right. Get going. Get up, Gown.    Hey! Hey, everybody! Saddle up and roll up your gun! Hey! We got a job award! We're heading for the radio. Find your hideaway and come running! What's going on? Arizona has been keeping watch from between two heaped piles of stones. It's not turned and cold pings flew toward the place where Tonto was dozing. Reaching the Indian, he put a hand upon his shoulder. Tonto! You asleep, Tonto? Uh-huh. Let me wake. I wanted to let you sleep longer, Tonto. I just couldn't hold out no longer. I just couldn't. Tonto, I almost wish I was dead. Things plenty bad. You think you're strong enough to stand and watch for a bit, Tonto? Are you trying to give me a nap? Uh-huh. Tonto, do it.  But just had some water. Oh, water all gone. No. Hello. You... You have trouble with the gang? Uh-huh. Oh, they don't come near no more. They reckon they found out we were going down there with water and a grub left. So they figured they won't have to do nothing but wait. I'm afraid they'll rise. Uh-huh. Tonto, you think we're going to get out of this? I may not know. Think the masked man or anybody will find out where we are and send help? This hard place blinds. A thousand miles from nowhere, it seems like. Uh-huh. Maybe... Maybe we just better give up. What do you mean? Wouldn't it be better than dying for lack of water? Wouldn't it be better than going on hour after hour feeling the sun drying out and your tongue get thick and... Tonto, I'm just about half crazy. You're not crazy. I am, Tonto. All the yellow coward. It ain't dying that I'm afraid of. It ain't bullets that are fighting that are getting wounded. But don't just have it, Tonto. I just can't stand this boredom death under that sun there without being able to raise a hand the sternest step to get back at the skunks that are keeping it here. Tonto, I can't stand it. I can't stand it. I've got to do something. Help, come on. Then water, water, whatever comes. You come now. They know you're trying to talk to me, Tonto. I just can't hold no longer. You can't. Help, come on. What's going on? Come back. Look there. Look up there. Look there by Cliff. Horsemen. Tonto... Am I seeing things, Tonto? Is that really Horsemen coming over that trail? It's help all right. Thanks, Kevin this, Tonto. Thanks, Kevin. That I see there is an innocent who is sitting with them stones like a pile there.  He's shaking his fist at me. Today I go on the weekend and I'll at least stand on his feet. Yeah. Anything wrong? I mean, look there. What is it? The sheriff and the posse. What the... somehow they found where we are. They come to get Arizona and Toronto. Wait a second. They can't have seen us yet. What are you... Sit up. They ain't seen us. And if they ain't, we'll fix as soon as they do until it's too late. Backpuck, come here. I got a job for you to do. Still coming. Look at them pile around that cliff up there. That's counted almost 30 over there. Ah. They know the whole gang of outlaws are here. They know what they're up against. That's right. Wait. What you see? A gang. A peach bunch. What are they up to anyhow? Them pride hides. Yeah. Looks like they're all taking cover over that brush. Ah. But I don't see. Those shots were fired at the sheriff. Ah. But the shots come from over there. They didn't come from where all them fellas are hiding. They're going to trick the posse. Look. The posse will think them crooks are all bunch behind that hill to the right. They'll head for that hill. And just at the right moment, that gang will open up on them. They'll be wiped out. That's right. But what do we do? We've got to stop it. They'll be riding right into a trap. No good column. Them two not here. Too far away. Ah. But they've gotten away. Them crooks are hiding. Talo, we can't let them get killed in our account. Then what we do? Talo. Ah. I told you I weren't afraid of dying, didn't I? Um. You know you'll speak true. I'm going to prove I did. How bad? There's just one way to save them fellas that come here to save us. How do? Get aboard my horse. Right out of here. Right into the brush where them crooks are hid themselves. And make them sure they're there. That's a good idea. I'm kind of weak, Talo. Can you help me get into the saddle? Ah. Thanks. And me go too. Now look here. Do not stop, Talo. Here's scout. Here boy. Talo, you should. You risk life. Talo risk life. Here. Everybody get rambunctious and try to get ahead of the rest of us. Just keep your horses to a walk. All right. You give the orders here. That hill is where them shots come from. I saw the flashes. Uh-huh. So did I. There's no way to circle it. So we'll just ride slow until we get close enough. Then when I call out windward gallop on top of that hill so fast nothing can stop you. All right. Shoot the kill. Clean them out. Then we can get Talo and Arizona. They're still alive. If they aren't, Sheriff, I'll never forgive myself. I came to this district because I asked them. Uh-huh. And to do the work we was too yellow to do. All right, boys. Keep your eyes peeled. We'll be let loose in a second. I'll give the word. Behind us, no one's ever left. That's Talo and Arizona. And it looks like the whole game. We were waiting there to ambush. It's time to give them away. Back, men. Back. Drive the boy down on Arizona. Kill. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. After men. We ain't that easy done for a chair. But we saw your fall from your sails. We ain't not hurt. Fall from our sails? Sure. But we had a couple of good reasons. One was we was up against dodge, we couldn't face by ourselves. And if we made it look as if they'd already got us, they'd leave us alone. And the other, Sheriff, well, maybe we didn't have no choice. I reckon if you had gone without food or water for as long as we did, you'd have had trouble hanging on yourself. And you're all right? Everything considered, yeah. And the Lone Ranger sent us here in time. We've captured the last of these hoodlums and our work is done. Not quite, Graham. No? You forgot the one fellow that's been behind them all the time. Scheme in their crookiness. Keeping a self-secret. I know. Well, that army's turn is coming, Graham. And you can believe me, it won't be long. The story you have just heard is a copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated. Thank you.


Can you start to get a sense of if I'm seeing something out here as a skew, it really comes back to my mind and my belief that it's possible for anything to be skewed. Oh sure. It's like there's nothing to be done out here.  Holy Spirit doesn't look at any of that and say this is all a skew. This is really non-stop. This will never work. It's the ego that looks at it out there and says boy this is bad news. This is not the way it's supposed to be. But there is a way of looking with the Holy Spirit and knowing that everything is in order. And I don't have to want anything to be different than it already is. That's where the pain comes in. It's wanting anything to be different than it is. That's where the pain comes in. Well then where is this answered prayer? So that when we pray it says here that your prayers are always answered. I don't know where it was when I hit it earlier. Talk about prayer then because the whole reason for prayer, the concept that we've had, has always been to make the out here be what we think it should be. Or better. Better. So if I'm going to pray. Prayer doesn't work like that. No, so prayer doesn't do that. But this is saying Holy Spirit answers prayer or God answers prayer. Let's go back. I thought prayer was going to make you perceive things differently. But then you get into this will of God and what is the will of God. And then there's things, the will of God is my will. It's all stirred up to me. It doesn't fit together. Yeah, you prayed two or three good questions in there. Got a lot. That whole thing. Good material here. Yeah, prayer is a good one because, you know, even from the Bible, seeking you shall find, knocking the doors to be opened. You come through Eastern routes, the law of karma, you know. As you sow, you sow, you reap and everything. However you want to take it. It's all this fundamental thing that giving and receiving are the same. Now, there's a part in the song of prayer. Prayer, forgiveness and healing. Where Jesus describes prayer as like a ladder. That when you're really bound into the world of form, you can't help but pray for form, you know. Help heal my child. Help protect Ann Martha on her trip to India. Help end world hunger and poverty. You know, you can't help, but if you believe in the reality of the things around there, how can you help it pray like that? And Jesus is saying, as he told Helen, you know, it's not wrong to pray in that way, but there are higher realms of prayer. And it gets back to what George was talking about when you start getting back to perceptual. You know, help me see this differently because there's a prayer that the Course makes and says in many, many different ways because that's really bringing it back to its perceptual problem. And I've got distorted perception and I need another way to look at this. I need to see peace instead of this. And really it comes to the deepest level as you go to the higher realms of the ladder it's described at one point Jesus says, your prayer is your desire. So if your desire is single and whole and your prayer, of course, is always answered, then peace, joy, you know, if your prayer is for God and nothing but God, you know, then the state that you receive is a state of joy and peace and everything. When you have tainted with desires for other things, you know, Mary and Williamson in her book, I forget how she put it. Do I want peace or do I want him to call? Yeah, that's what it was. I want him to call, you know.  That's a good example of a prayer in the sense that it's more important that he call me today, sometime today than my pieces, you know. And so you can start to get at those levels of desire, how important it is to get in touch with our unconscious beliefs and to really start to see what the ego's beliefs are and what its purpose is and then to say, hey, I'm not going to keep plugging this appliance in. I'm not going to keep following this ego because I want peace. I don't want this pain and misery in that happiness. So that kind of addresses that idea of prayer. It certainly gets away from prayer for specifics in the sense that a lot of prayers, even among unity and a lot of new age types of thinking, are very much tied into abundance and courses on abundance and everything and literally praying, visualizing, using the power of the mind to visualize the kind of house, the kind of life, the kind of whatever you want. Once again, Jesus is not condemning. But it's more still worth, now in the middle rung, that in a sense, the experience, if you visualize something and you hold that in mind and you hold that in mind and it seems to come, that's a powerful experience that there's some power to this mind thing, that my mind is powerful. It's definitely an experience that flies in the face of I'm a weak little helpless nobody and I'm at the whim and the victim of everything in the world.  It seems that way. The script is written, it's already happened, you're still just watching the past, but it seems as if, experientially, things are coming to me that I want and that I focused on to my mind.  How about peace as your only goal? Peace of mind, enlightenment, salvation. Take that powerful mind that you're starting to realize that you have and give it to me or give it to the Holy Spirit and start putting peace as your goal. Peace is abstract. It's quantified peace. You know, it's this abstract kind of purpose again. It's hard to get a grasp on. How am I at peace when I'm with my brother or my sister? Peace and judgment don't go together. Peace and interpretation, it definitely gives a lot of experience. But those are like the higher ones where instead of praying for specifics, please bring me this, please give me that, please turn it into World Hunger and so on and so forth. That would be a sunny day or a hot sunny day when we're having our family picnic or whatever. Instead of praying for specifics, you start to hold this abstract goal of peace in mind and then allowing and accepting you don't have an investment in the form as much and the peace starts to come because you're not invested in the form. And the joy starts to get so intense as you start to ascend up that ladder that it's not seen as a sacrifice, that those things seem important that's praying for certain specifics, seem like a real big deal. The joy starts to be so intense from the well starts to bubble up inside so much that it's like, ah, I can't believe that I thought that that would have brought me happiness and peace. But it's time sometimes you can't see that. You need to have that experience of praying for something and getting it. So that kind of goes in prayer. And then you mention will and I think we touched on that last time that God's will for his son for us is perfect happiness. I liked it when it was put that way. I've heard all these things that I've grown up about. Well, it's God's will that people starve and it's God's will that this happened and this and that. God's will is for perfect happiness. Now, the Course also goes on to say that God's will is not known in this world. That this world was made to cover over and to make up a will, an alien will, which is the ego, apart from God's will. This is where all pain and grief and misery come in. And that when we talk about free will, free will is when the mind has accepted the atonement and is healed, then the will is free because the Father and the Son's will are one and the Son knows it. The Son knows that His will is not apart from His Father. Jesus knew that as a fact. So, the speak of free will in this world is still talking about something with, you know, philosophers have said, you know, that's a big question, free will versus determinism. You know, it's been a philosophy to speak debate for centuries and centuries that the script is written that everything that's happening on the screen has already happened.  It's all spun out and it's already happened. That's almost, it's hard to fathom. That was in that instance when the mind latched on to the belief that it stepped right on its creator. And that, people have a lot of resistance to that idea because that's like it gets to this free will and this destiny. What do you mean? It's already happened. You mean it's all, that's destiny. There's no choice in that. And from that point, just with that area, the perceptual world, the script is written, it's already happened. You've heard of psychics that can tell the future. All they're doing is reading the past. They're reading the past. Whether they call it the future or not, they're reading the past. You mean this has already happened in Oberlin? In that instance, it was ever? Exactly. It came in there? It came in there. Well, how come it seems like the system has stretched out over eons again? I mean, even in this lifetime, it seems like I've been here forever. And the ego says, no, no, the past isn't over and gone. Like a blip. Dragging it, bringing it in, it keeps wanting to keep the past alive. Am I ever going to get rid of this ego? He tells us, we can't help but let it go, you know. But the second part of that is, a lot of times, I had a sense of this destiny thing. There was something to this destiny thing, but I also had a lot of part of my mind that kept saying, wait a minute, where's this choice coming? Like when I study behaviorism and all these different things, like what do you mean I'm like a rat? Train me to be whatever you want. Don't I have any choice in this? And the course is saying, yes, it's all overdone. This is all part of the unholy incident. And here's the present. This is the holy incident. And you can decide to accept the atonement, which is in the holy incident. And just at that instant, you'll see that the past is over and done. It's more and more going into the holy incident, which is in our mind. It's in the stillness, just where the meditation and the quiet comes in. So the instant's over.  I know my life's meaningless. Even God doesn't know about it. Even God doesn't know. But from a mind that believes that this is really happening and you know, that it's happening to me and this is my life and I've got this job and these relationships and I'm this person and everything, then Jesus said, here's your stepping stone, kind of like you have decision, but really the only decision that you have since the past is over is which lens are you going to look at the projection with? Are you going to align with the ego or the Holy Spirit? In every instant, you have a choice to align with the ego or the Holy Spirit. What's your purpose going to be for the world? A lot of times it seems like we click into our pilot with the ego. We're so familiar with waking up, going through our returning routines, getting in our grooves and our ruts, and it really seems deep and heavy, seems like, gosh, this is a heavy rep.  But as we work with the Course, he trains, helps train our minds to decide more consistently with the Holy Spirit until the point comes when we can go down to that cornerstone, lift that up and see that the ego is really the leaf. No reality at all. I could never have separated from my Creator. That's a silly idea. We can all the thoughts and beliefs and concepts that are built that came from that little belief are all false as well. So, I really, it's just like, it's good news because it gives us hope. It can seem overwhelming. It can seem like, oh my gosh, I haven't even made a dent. It's like, I've got to pick up all the grains on the ocean, ocean beach, and I've got a handful now. And it can seem that way and everything, but all Jesus is asking for is our willingness, you know. Just, it's so, he just says, just focus on now. It's all you've got to keep your attention on. Just try to keep on how you feel right now. When you do start to feel upset, just try to be willing to see a difference. To lay aside your chest. And that simplifies it from this long, contorted, linear thing that's like, no. And one of the ways the ego tries to come along on the spiritual journey is just that very thing of having you look at where you are and feeling overwhelmed and desperate and hopeless about, you know, getting to where you think you want to be. You know, it's like, that's a good ego trick too.  But, you know, when you start to entertain the thought of, oh, I'll never get there, you know, or whatever, if you can just recognize that that too is an ego thought and then just be regarded. That's the best thing to do with it. Recognize it's an ego thought and be regarded.


I'm the comic weekly man, the jolly comic weekly man. And I'm here to read the funnies to you happy boys and honeys. Yes, boys and girls, it's comic weekly time.  Right out of the pages of Puck the Comic Weekly, straight into your living room, your friend, the comic weekly man, the jolly comic weekly man. Little Miss Honey, how are you today? Oh, I know a joke. I'm fine too, thanks. How are you? Oh, thank you. I'm fine too. Why did the little boy throw the alarm clock out of the window? Because he didn't want to have it wake him up too early in the morning. Nope. Um, because he didn't want to... Nope, nope. Oh, all right then. I give up. Why did the little boy throw the alarm clock out of the window? Because... Oh, that's very funny. Anyone? Oh, yes, indeed, indeed, yes. All right. Why? Because he didn't want his little brother to get it and smash up his bicycle? Nope. Uh, because he... No, nope, nope. Okay, okay, okay. I give up. Then why did the little boy put the hammer under the pillow? Because he... Oh, that was a very good joke. Thank you, honey. Puck the Comic Weekly. Very well, I'll read that in just a moment. But before I do, let's listen to this nice man. Puck the Comic Weekly. On the first page, under bringing up Father Beatle Bailey. Magic words for the music, please. Very well, my lady. Toot me a toot and tweet me a tweetle. Squeeze out music for Bailey the Beatle. Today, a magazine photographer comes to the Army Camp where Beatle is stationed. The photographer says to Beatle's hard-boiled sergeant, uh, and look, Admiral, our magazine wants to do a series on the typical trainee going through his paces. I'll be glad to help. Beatle! And third picture top row, Beatle is climbing over a high-board fence which is 12 feet off the ground as Beatle sweats and strains. The photographer says, That's it, that's it.  Last picture top row. Beatle is hanging from a bar, chinning himself up and down. He's about to stop and the photographer yells, No, no, don't stop. Keep it up. Yeah, but I've already done 25 chin ups. Yeah, but you haven't quite got the expression I want yet, Sonny. First picture bottom row, Beatle is crawling through an obstacle course with bullets zinging over his head. That's fine. Now rip up your closer more. Okay, fellas, another blast of TNT. Third picture bottom row, Beatle is running through an obstacle course. As Beatle dashes across a log, the photographer yells, Faster, boy, more action. Beatle slips and falls into a pond of mud. The photographer yells, Wonderful, great human interest. Smear a little more mud on your face. And he snaps the picture. Last picture, as Beatle's pals drag him out of the mud, the photographer says to the sergeant, Wow, what a job. Thanks, Sergeant. The sergeant yells, Well, don't I get any money for this? Yes, he certainly took a beating that time. Yes, none of the photographers. That was hard work. And can you imagine the sergeant asking if he doesn't get any money for this? Why should he get any money? He didn't do anything. No, nothing but order Beatle to do all the work. Well, now how would you like to see what's happening to Roy Rogers? Oh, I'd like to see one of the outlaws who robbed the railroad payroll. Yes, but two of the other outlaws who were left under Wildwood or Dowd's guard have tricked her and knocked her out. And if they get away, they may capture Roy again. Well, let's see if that happens. So let's turn over the page, go past little iodine and Prince Valf, turn over that page, and on page four is Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys. Ah, yippie-yo, now here we go with Roy and Trigger. Ah, yippie-yo! Railroad construction camp, Wildwood lies on the ground, stunned for a moment. Quickly, Higgins and Smiley start to untie each other's hands. All right, hurry up. We've got to light out before Rogers gets back. Meanwhile, Roy and Dangerfield are leaving the bridge with Ham Hawks, the third outlaw who is now trussed up and lying in Dangerfield's wagon. Dangerfield says... Hey, Gad Roy, the local citizenry shall hear how I helped you capture Ham Hawks at the covered bridge. Well, don't start talking till after you deliver them to the shaft, Dangerfield. Well, we part here. I'll bring the stolen railroad payroll in after I pick up Wildwood and the other two prisoners. Well, don't delay, Roy. I need Wildwood to perform in my carnival. Meanwhile, at the railroad camp, Higgins and Smiley have freed each other and start for their horses. Wildwood, seeing they're not watching her, suddenly picks up a rifle and shoots Smiley's hat off. Hey, the gal came too! We forgot about her gun! Never mind her, Smiley. I see Rogers coming. Hurry! First picture bottom row, they scramble into the saddle. Wildwood fires again, this time at Higgins. And then Roy gallops around the bend. Higgins sees the game as up. They rain in and hold up their arms. Roy looks at Wildwood and the rifle she's holding and grins. Well, looks like I got here just in time, Wildwood. A short time later, Roy and Wildwood head for town with the captured outlaws. Roy exclaims, Whoa! Well then, listen, I hear shots. And then, last picture, he sees a stranger gallop toward them and shout desperately, Help! Help! They chase me!  They say I ride a dead man's saddle! I was pretending to be knocked out when she wasn't and Roy arrived in the nick of time, didn't he? Yes, she arrived some time. Yes, you bet he does. Now Roy will turn outlaws over to the chef. Yeah, looks like Roy's beginning a new adventure. Yes, and I can't wait to see that. Neither can I. Now let's go across the page, turn over page five, and look, here on page seven is Donald Duck. Oh, my favorite favorite. And we'll read your favorite favorite right now. Here we go with Donald Duck. Say the magic words with me. Squeeze them, squeeze them, squeeze them. Let's have music to fit a quack-quack. And Donald's nephew, Louis, opened the refrigerator for a cold drink. Bottle of strawberry pop! Outside, Donald is mowing the lawn. And out of the house, Dash, Louis, Huey, and Dewey. Hey, Uncle Donald! Uncle Donald! It's a bottle of pop in the refrigerator. Get me off when I'm done mowing the lawn. Donald's nephew is giving him a dirty look. And march back into the house. Last picture, top row, Donald says, Hmm, I were pretty mad. I wonder. Donald tiptoes over to the window. Looks inside the kitchen, first picture, bottom row, and sees the boys putting the cold bottle of pop into the hot stove. And then he hears Huey say, Boy, will he get a shower. Yeah, be sure to give it a good shaking up. And then Louis opens the oven door. Now we can take it out. It's good and hot. He hurries to the refrigerator with a bottle of hot pop. And puts it back where Donald left it. Now come on, let's get out of here before he comes in. Fourth picture, bottom row, the boys are sitting under the kitchen window, listening carefully to hear what happens to Donald when he opens the bottle of pop.  Yeah, or a firehole.  Oh, Niagara Falls. Oh, shame on them. They tried to trick Donald because he wouldn't give him the pop. Yes, but they put the pop on the stove to make it warm. Why was that? So that when Donald opened up the bottle of pop, it would spurt right out into his face. Oh, yeah. And the boys wanted to form right up into Donald's face. Well, this is for them. You bet it is. Well, now let's turn over the page. And here on the last page of the first section is Flash Gordon. And you remember that Flash Gordon and Dale are on the planet Titan where they were captured by a gray that he was big. Yes, and one of the men in the party became hysterical and tried to run away. And while the giant turned to capture him, Flash and the others made a dash for freedom. I wonder if Flash and Dale will escape. Well, we'll find that out now. Here we go with Flash Gordon. Rega rega dune dune saskimatash. Let's have music for heroic flash. Flash and Dale dashed through the brush, crouching low. Rondale. That monster will only stay at the cave long enough to grab the rest before they escape. Then you'll come after us. Quick, into the underbrush. All right. That's good. We're hidden now. All right, stop and be quiet. Flash and Dale wait. Hidden by the foliage. They don't wait long. Last picture, top row. Seconds later, a huge figure comes pounding up the trail. The ground shakes as the giant passes and fades away into the silent forest. First picture, bottom row. Flash and Dale step out. Flash sees the giant's footprints in the soft earth. Look at those footprints. Come on, honey. We must get back to the rocket for something to battle that thing with. After an hour of beating their way through dense undergrowth, Flash and Dale arrive at the point where they had left their rocket ship. They see that the ground is still there. They see that the giant is still there. The rocket ship. They see that the grass has grown nearly as high as the ship itself. Flash stares in amazement. This is fantastic, Dale. In a single morning, the vegetation is almost engulfed in rocket. Let's get inside. A moment later, they're inside the ship. After a quick search, Flash stops beside the huge handcuffs which had been brought along to capture one of the giants. Well, not a weapon left in the ship. Only these handcuffs. That they may be just what the doctor ordered. Dale wonders how he can possibly come close enough to the giant to use the handcuffs. Flash thoughtfully answers. Yeah, that's a problem. But I have a plan that just might work. Glad that Flash escapes. So am I. And I wonder where are the others, all captured by the giant? I wonder that, too. I wonder if that big giant would find any guns or anything. That's something we'll have to wait until next week to see. Now it's time to pick up the second section of Puck the Comic Weekly. Oh, yes. And we'll find out in just a minute what Dagwood does today. But first, here's that nice man again with something interesting to say. Now here we go again with Puck the Comic Weekly. And on the first page of the second section, Dagwood and Blondie. Magic words for the music, please. Very well, my lady. Ramaphoo, Ramapham, Zim, Zim, Zombie. Conjury music for Dagwood and Blondie. Blondie announces to Dagwood. Who, Dag? Oh, my goodness. Dagwood takes a look at the sink and moans. I'll have to take the whole sink apart to get at the trap. Oh, I'm awfully sorry, dear. Now, hold up. Now who's at the door? Last picture, top row, Dagwood goes to the door. There stands his neighbor, Herb Woodley. Oh, hi, Dagwood. I'm having an awful time. Can you help me fix a radio? Come in and see what I'm doing. First picture, second row. Dagwood shows Herb the sink, which is all torn apart. I'm taking our whole sink apart to get Blondie's ring. Ah, cute. Well, I'm almost got it apart, so all right, I'll come over and give you a hand. Last picture, second row. They're in Herb's kitchen looking at the radio. You sure the tubes are all OK? Yeah, sure, Dagwood. It's a new radio. Just not getting power. Well, let's take it apart and see what we can find. First picture, third row. Dagwood is sitting on the floor taking the radio apart. He's holding up two hands full of wire with a lot of do-dads and whatnot, hanging onto him.  Don't worry. You'll be able to get her back together again. Then in comes Herb's wife, Tootsie. She sees the mess on the floor and exclaims, Why, Herb, there was nothing wrong with the radio. I just borrowed the fuse to use in the laundry. Oh! Last picture, third row. Dagwood is going back to his house to finish his work on the sink. Heh, poor Herb. His wife certainly wasn't around when they passed out the brains. First picture, bottom row, he goes in the house. Blondie!  Oh, Dagwood darling, I have good news for you. Yeah, what? My ring didn't go down the drain. I found it hanging on the nail where I always put it. Last picture, in the middle of the night, Tootsie Woodley comes downstairs into the kitchen in her dressing gown. Herb, what's the light doing in Bomster's kitchen at 3 a.m.? Herb, who's having a terrible time getting his radio together, snarls. He's still trying to put his sink together. And all because of a woman's forgetful mind. Yes, those two women were certainly forgetful. Yes, they were. They better cook their husbands some mighty good meals for a good long time to make up for this. Yes, I think so. Oh, that Dagwood! The funniest things happen to him. Well, now let's turn over the page and see who's there. Oh, look, it's Walt Disney's story, The Sword and the Road. And I know you're anxious to read that. Oh, yes. It's in the early days of England when Henry was the king. And Henry's sister, Princess Mary, had fallen in love with Charles Brandon, who had been a member of the king's guard. And Charles Brandon thought that he could never marry the princess, so he's gone on board a ship to sail to the New World. And I was so sad, but then Princess Mary, all dressed up like a page boy, came to the ship and to Charles Brandon, and she said that she was going to go with him. But one of the sailors heard her voice through the door, and he knows now that there's a woman aboard. And I wonder if that means that anything will happen to them. Well, let's read now and find out. Here we go with The Sword and the Road. It's Mary, Mary, England, when knighthood was in flower, music to bewitch our story hour. The sailor quickly reports to the captain of the ship that he had heard a woman's voice in Brandon's cabin. The captain hurries to the cabin, forces his way in and exclaims, Bilge and bedlam, it is a girl. And one of the sailors jeers, I a pretty lad for a page. And he touches Mary's curls. Brandon steps forward with clenched fists.  Strike me, will you? I'll have your blood. The sailor draws his sword, and Brandon whips out his. And last picture top row, the two men square off at each other. But Brandon is quickly seized from behind by several other sailors. First picture bottom row, Brandon is overpowered by a swarm of brawny seamen. All right, bring him on deck. And the girl too. A few minutes later, on deck of the ship, the captain is saying to Brandon, Mary, I could put you in an irons for the whole voyage. But no Jonah of a woman sails on my ship. I'm putting you ashore in the longboat. Meanwhile, a posse of the king's lancers clatters through the outskirts of Bristol. They ride straight through the village and to the key at the water's edge. Last picture, the grim group waits as the royal hind's longboat approaches the key with a hapless guardsman and the runaway princes. Yes, and if the boat that Brandon is in stops at the key, the guards will certainly capture Brandon and the princes and then what will happen? Well, that we'll have to wait until next week to find out. But now let's turn over the page. All right, because it's in the early days of America. Yes, in the state of California. And you remember, gold had been discovered and everybody in the town that Dick was in had run off to dig for gold themselves so they could get rich.  And remember that they'd come to a river and the only way to get across was on a ferry boat. But the ferry boat man was charging so much money that Edward and Campbell refused to go on the boat. And when the boat got out in the middle of the river, it was wrecked and the people were thrown into the water. And the ferry rock and yelling for help. Do you think anybody will save him? Let's read now and find out. Here we go with Dick's adventures. Say the magic words with me. Riggity pack, kazack, kazick. Let's have music for adventure stick. A swindling rascally ferryman who was charging cutthroat prices during the height of the California gold rush has accidentally capsized his own craft. And from midstream he yells, Help!  After a moment of hesitation, Dick and editor Campbell plunge in to save the man. But the current is stronger than they thought. And three lives are in peril instead of one. Last picture top row, they are swept downstream. Then suddenly first picture second row are swept close to some rocks near the shore. And the three floundering swimmers are fished out by a couple of Indians and staggered to safety. They find themselves in an Indian camp. Last picture second row, once on their feet again, Campbell says, And I don't forget you owe the Indians one thousand dollars reward for saving your life. The boatman swings at Campbell. I am not paying them a cent. And you neither. First picture bottom row, Dick shouts, You're not getting away with this. And Dick goes after the boatman too. And then a quiet voice commands, Pay them the thousand dollars, Big Ben. The men stop fighting. Dick looks up and sees a tall man neatly dressed holding a gun. Pay them the thousand dollars, Big Ben. The Dick surprised the boatman immediately, takes the money out of his pocket and hands it to the Indians.  I don't want any gold hunters here. Well, I know how you feel, but it's the Christian thing to do. I suppose so. But it wasn't Christian of that ferry boatman to hit editor Campbell after he saved his life. No, but you see, he lost out in the end. The strange man with the gun made the ferry boatman pay the Indians. Yes, he does. He lost out this strange man next week. But now, look below Dick's adventures. There's Rusty Riley. Oh, yes, a horse called Silver Lad. And the horse has to be at the milestone farm by tomorrow. But some crooks have led Tex and Rusty into a trap. They got them off the road among the trees so Tex couldn't turn the truck around to get it back on the road. Yes, but remember, last week, Tex chopped down enough trees to turn the truck around. And then Rusty found some letters in the cabin showing that the two men that they'd met there were Velvet Cane's men.  Yes, well, let's see what happens now that Tex and Rusty know who Scrub and Porky are. Here we go with Rusty Riley. Get up and run till the road is dusty. Give us music for his horse and Rusty. After hearing from Rusty that the two men Scrub and Porky are working for Velvet Cane, Tex says, stay here, Rusty. I'm going to have a word with that fella called Scrub Markey. Did you notice where you went? Well, he was sitting in that old car. There's a couple of minutes ago, Tex. Last picture, top row, Tex walks over to the car at the edge of the clearing. Scrub Markey is standing there. Markey, I got good reason to believe you're working for Velvet Cane. This year, detour, Gag, was to keep us from getting to Lexington in time. Well, it ain't going to work. Very smart of you to figure that out. But don't be too sure you're out of the woods, Purdy. First picture bottom row, Tex says. Well, we've turned around and we're ready to roll.  So don't try to stop me.  But if I was you, I wouldn't try driving over that bridge. Tex walks to the truck. All right, come on, Rusty, let's go. Okay, Tex. Well, what do you think you meant about the bridge? Meanwhile, the sheriff who had discovered the detour sign had been taken down as followed the other road leading to the cabin to investigate. The sheriff had stumbled over the wire in the dark.  I am going to follow up this wire. Right, Sheriff. The sheriff makes his way through the woods, following the wire. He finds that it leads to the bridge. Last picture, he follows it under the bridge and finds it comes to an end around three little sticks. The sheriff says to himself, Gee, Horcifat, there's a charge of dynamite under this bridge truss. He's covered the dynamite under the bridge. Yes, but if he doesn't hurry and cut that wire before Tex starts his truck, he may be blown up. Oh yes, because if Tex starts to leave the clearing, the scrub is going to blow two honks on his horn, and that will be the signal for Parkie to set off the dynamite and blow up the bridge. Well, if that happens before the sheriff cuts that wire, the dynamite might blow up in his face and he'd be killed. Oh, I wonder what will happen. Well, we'll find out that next week. But now that's all the time I have. But before I go, here's that nice fellow with some more interesting information. Well, honey and all your boys and girls, I gotta go now. All right, next week.  Be sure to meet me with our little friend Miss Honey next week when I read Puck the Comic Weekly. For I'm the Comic Weekly man, the Jolly Comic Weekly man. I'll be back to read the funnies to you happy boys and honeys. Don't forget, boys and girls, see you all next week. Your friend the Comic Weekly man, the Jolly Comic Weekly man.

Oh, and this important ones at the bottom as well a ticket as CBN or narrow availability once against Boolean van tendencies the IPO be a legis plan to attack a tick who in Southeast Some headlines on the front page offer the Guardian Well, move away from the Guardian you speak for we take a quick look at the leadership leadership says 2023 polls academic session may shut out three million students We have no arrangement for campus voting my neck is saying we're determined to vote Holiday or no holiday That's what students are quoted to say as you look into the leadership don't disenfranchise them CSO warrants low turnout as PVC collection closes and Just before move away from the leadership you find banks deny holding cash say is 100 billion are invested in IT infrastructure and PDP accuses tunable a PC of mopping up cash for vote buying and Still looking at the leadership down middle belts a forum demands probe of NASA or killings and WC government officials working against tunable APC stakeholders and President of Muhammad a Buhari a tick who condemns massacre of Katsina vigilantes. These are some of the headlines you find this morning under leadership news people Let's move over from the leadership quickly to the Daily independent interesting to have the paper on our table this morning.

There's a plot to rig 2023 presidential election. That's elder statesman tanko yakuza with that alarm some headlines on front page of Daily independent and at this point we'll bring in open a boy and could tire upon well. Thank you very much For your time. I know that there's a temptation to start with economic stories But let's look at the train during three elections with a Yes, yes, thank you sir with a with a daily independent single president has told I nick not to adjust the timetable This is what paper says that president Muhammad Abu Hari has instructed the Independent National Electro Commission to ensure that the timetable for the conduct of the 2023 election is strictly adhered to as no Adjustment in the time the dates rather will be entertained That is what he's saying The paper says there were reports last week that the electoral body may shift the polls by a minimum of two weeks due to Logistics issues if took the body wouldn't feel Just can see affecting them Is the president allowed to make such statements? Mr. Gutari is the president allowed to make such statements or the issue such directives to INEC? No, I'm saying and we with the independent nature of the Electro Commission is the president to make such statements telling them that Extension date will not be entertained and over President is so blue because If you look at the laws certain of INEC is an independent body That has the discretion To fix this election and to also decide on how the election can be conducted But you know like what happened in 20 Is it still to be seen When good looking at them are I not extended the time by two weeks due to the insecurity in the mouthpiece There was this allegation That the hope it was all orchestrated to reach the election in favor of good looking at them And as the president of the country The boss of the table Also, what president Gutari I believe is trying to do is let Nigerians know That it is not a party to any amendment adjustment And in the in the dates So he's just not a real boss or I'll give the Nigerians that hope and believe That He sincerely was to decrease the Nigerians The most credible and just hearing election as he has always promised But I don't say this It is not Just making such promises Digital such others or advice the second time You If you don't have to go All are you going to use those vehicles? How would the weapons move? Although it is not enough So I'm not to extend the But We are I Open a bank at area Let's quickly move away from that and look at the leadership news paper this morning now I'm broadly on the leadership three million youths in Nigeria University at ricks of being disenfranchised in the forthcoming general elections and the umpire saying they can't make special Arrangement for this students to voting constituencies whether or not red is that so my question to you is Do you think that anything can be done? within the ambience of the law or Outside of the law to include this number of persons to be part of the Elections not also forgetting the reason why this is actually happening Just Open a bank at area can you hear me open a bank at area? Yes, my question is what are your thoughts about? Three million Nigerians about three million plus Nigerians that might be disenfranchised And the umpire saying there's no special arrangement to have these persons vote Where they were not registered. I mean voting outside of their constituency But do you think that anything can be done to ensure that we don't have three million persons disenfranchised? Yes, please If you look at the books in 2015 Between Between The margin is not even up to three million And so it will not be Nigerians What I think the better for me to do is to give a break Like the students go back to where they have registered To cut their votes now a lot of people like you one of the financial implications on The parents are even on the students and I've been treating themselves These are the sacrifices you have to give us if you don't have so if you register in Your state for example, we're asking Are you any late lasting? As a student at the University of Lagos And they say you should cast your books in Lagos How do I know? I guess that Well, it is what I know But But that is possible using technology No problem, but you will have to you have to test it right now So that you are going to have that confidence But that will not be used as an agony to read Because it's also easy to manipulate the students who are in school So it's all about the very ability and the tendency of the elections If either they go back to the University of Lagos Which will have used financial implications Or I meant to come up with the technology That's the level of the students Those students they know, they know that person But the level of these students So cast their books Now the question again is Because I don't have to work In collaboration with the institutions All over the country And you can imagine how agile that would be Well, open up on Qatariya I don't think that that might be the case Reference is being made to section 47 of Qatariya I'm saying that I don't think that that might be the case for INEG Of course they're making reference to section 47 of the Electoral Act 2022 And that permits every intended voter to be present That's what that part of the Electoral Act quotes But on the other hand, some people are saying that Is it not possible for the governing body I mean the academics themselves To put school on hold Maybe for a week, the week of the elections So the maybe students can actually find their way back to their different constituencies To cast their votes That's what I've said Anything can happen But like I said, the best of this Is to shut down the institution for at least two weeks That is not going to happen in a negative effect on their learning The only thing that's on there is the financial infrastructure Because even the health infrastructure in this country Is going to have a serious effect on parents That is just going to be the problem But it should be extremely wrong For whatever reason So this franchise goes to this Because one vote could make a difference And don't forget the voting population These two times, I think, for what they're saying has about 50% or less about percentage If you look at the percentage So it's quite huge Quite huge I've got them at the end of generations So they just have to go back to the rest of them to cast their votes Those who are interested in expecting a change in this country Let's go back to the daily independent Because it's an interesting one And I'm curious for your take on this A new poll showing that The Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Bees Choice for president amongst Nigerians The paper says that The Labour Party is leading in that poll with 37% Followed by PDP, 27% APC, 24% According to this next-tier SPD An African-based international Development consulting firm They had a sample size of 3,000 people What are your thoughts on this? Is this credible as far as you're concerned? Is this realistic? Because we don't even know what we're talking about Okay, so next-tier SPD An African-based international Development consulting firm Conducted a poll A poll to see who Nigerians are choosing to be Their next president And according to them It is Peter Obie of the Labour Party In their poll with a sample size of 3,000 Obie got 37% The PDP got 27% That's Atiku And APC, Bola Chilbu got 24% Is this realistic? Or do you find this to be the case From your observation? Yes, yes, yes Well, you know Fresh, you can't pick the sensitivity of the poll Because The sensitivity of the poll has to do with the Tunisian Of the Detectives involved Do you know if they are expressing If they are loyal to Peter Obie Or if they are loyal to Atiku Akubaka Or if they have support in Tunibu But the truth about it is that It is my conviction That in lots of ways Polls Nigerians will come to realize That They are just conceptions Based On Sweepet of information Opposed together by Those behind the poll And also has to do with their Tunisian Nigerians will definitely Of course the lesson is between Peter Obie And Atiku Akubaka Because of the Atiku Akubaka Of the APC Government But I tell you it's going to be A very tight one No doubt about that But I have the conviction That Atiku will win For one principle reason Structure Will not completely Move the way of structure in this country If you are Like in Riverside for example How many candidates Or how many people are Confecting On level party platform And you need people in the House of Assembly And the National Assembly To continue with the campaign In your absence Even the level party in Riverside It's not that strong I don't want to go into the details You can tell you A lot of people in later Riverside I really am not happy With Peter Obie Because of what happened On his last visit to Riverside But let me say that Say that about that day So I can tell you right now That I don't rely on polls The polls in Nigeria Are not as credible as they are In the US And in the UK If you might believe how about That the PPP will pick Other candidates In the forthcoming presidential elections Because of the structure But open up on Kataria You know I probably And we probably might just be able To relate with The fact that There's a trust deficit With almost everything that we do You know Because of the level of corruption That We emit As a people I mean when we're talking about corruption now It's not limited to those who are You know Calling the shots, the governors And what a view They are You know Ruling class But it cuts across The entire society Different strata of society Corrupt practices Corrupt behaviour And what have you But this is actually Not holding brief For the firm Or this institution Next year There were also other pointers That According to that report That none of the presidential candidate Met both criteria For victory in the first round A majority of votes cast That 25% In two thirds of the state And however There's a possibility This is why you have research There's a possibility Of having a rerun Elections Because it's going to be Kindly contested And you have stated that So you know All of this I mean several factors They have mentioned You also mentioned You know Facts that Some parties Like the Labour Party Do not have strength In some regions Mentioning this state Where they don't have the Strength For instance The South West I beg your pardon The North West And the North East Making reference to this So with all of this detail Not necessarily saying We understand that the Respondent according to Is a face-to-face poll Right So would you still say That It's nothing to go by That all of this Report and information Is nothing to go by Let's see My greatest regret is not having this This is not being on Zoom Honestly Because there is a lot of this person I cannot be I cannot be confident The whole party so much So much I cannot be confident Open up on Katara We have to go now We sincerely apologise We're hoping that you are able to join us Next time via Zoom Thank you so much Alright then Open up on Katara Has been speaking with us this morning On off the press We have to go The network has not been smooth And you know Communication as well Has been very strainer Would definitely take a break When we return We'll return with a Major conversation right here


What is this my right Jackie Boswell head coach to my left Malia Smith Jackie will go to you first you trailing 21 points in the third quarter 4726, but you guys never gave up scored 33 points in the fourth quarter. Just give us an overall thought on the game You know, I thought that the pace of the game is just something we weren't really used to and it took us a little bit Longer than I would have liked us for us to get into it. I thought like you said though We didn't give up. That's the important part. That's where we got nowhere Our heart is this time of the year and I think the fourth quarter showed us where it is. We just fell a little short What what about on the offensive glass? It seemed like Widener really controlled it at least for the first three quarters. Yeah, I mean, you know, we talked about that We couldn't let him get to the pain couldn't let him get easy shots when they get to the paint You're out of position to try to rebound. So I thought that you know We had some mismatches under there and they really took advantage of that But again after I thought we settled in I thought we subbed a little bit better to make sure We weren't tired because just the pace of the game like I said, we weren't used to but you know That's wideners pace and I think that's the only way you can beat him honestly and So, you know, they're a great team and and I thought we stepped up to the challenge Oh, just fell a little short this time and won't next time. Let me turn over to my left. Yeah, my left to Malia Your thought on the bench and you came in off the bench today But your thought is the team was coming back in that fourth quarter. Yeah. Oh, yeah We've definitely have some amazing leadership within the captains of like really pulling ourselves together Offensively to start putting some shots in and then defensively. We really kept up that intensity and we really You know one shot at a time chip that lead down just as Coach Jackie always says So I'm really proud of us for the work that we did there and you know really trying to come back in that fourth quarter What did your coach tell you after the third quarter to get you guys in that position to make that fourth quarter run? She really just wanted us to make sure that we were driving and kicking doing the things that we always do in practice You know, we practiced a lot of these things We are very intense on the defensive boards the offensive board So just making sure that we're sharing the ball that we're communicating with each other And it definitely was very noticeable even in the first possession Absolutely coach. I wanted to ask you more Morgan to Barry had a tough first half I think she had four turnovers, but she came back in the second half gave you 12 points handled the basketball very well Yeah, I thought that showed a lot of maturity on her partner teammates back her up as well We know she can do better. We still run the same play for her again And as you see she didn't turn it over that time So, you know, I just thought we did some really good things again. Hopefully it's just not too little too late You know Malia is out here right now because even though statistically she only had four rebounds But she was the cause of a lot of other things that went our way So I think sometimes that's underestimated a little bit and we need to learn from her I think the younger kids need to learn from from that leadership on the floor and get the job done And then we can move forward that's a good point I wanted to ask you because why does a pretty good ball handling basketball team They only average about 15 turnovers per game coming in I think they had over 20 today if I'm not mistaken or around that number Talk to me about that getting your hands in the passing lanes putting pressure on them. Yeah, no It definitely is about the little things. That's something that we definitely push a lot in practice to is staying in the passing lanes staying On your toes and making sure you're moving with the balls in the air So it's just like a lot of the little fundamental things that really help us to Get those defensive stops and to cause those turnovers and they're you know, really they don't always show up on the stat books But you know, they definitely like to make a huge difference for the game. What are you studying here?  Absolutely Excellent well you guys took care of it today, unfortunately it was 10 points short But Jackie, thank you Malia. Thank you more coming your way on go mustang sports TV

This vlog, you're gonna learn three things, three ideas on how you can increase watch time on your channel, all right? That's what you're gonna learn by the end of this video. But the only reason I feel comfortable sharing these ideas with you is because I've been doing 900 vlogs in a row and I've learned a thing or two over the last two and a half years and I wanna share that experience and motivation and just knowledge with you. So, stay tuned, three things coming up now. Oh, that fire felt good. Okay, as you can see, this is real life. This is raw. This is not shot in a studio. A lot of small creators, I feel like, I hear it quite often, like they don't feel like they have the right setting to film in and folks, you don't need a studio. You don't need a production crew. It's just you and me. I don't even have a tripod today. It's just the Canon 5D and my thoughts, my experience, my knowledge being shared with you through YouTube. I just wanted to mention it. I just love filming in urban environments. I just love it. There's so much to look at. It's so cool. All right, folks, tip number one. Here you go. It's an easy one. It's easy to say, harder to do. Film, edit, and publish longer videos, right? To increase watch time on your channel, that's probably the simplest way to do it. However, it's a double-edged sword because on YouTube, not only is YouTube tracking total watch time on your videos and on your channel as a whole, they're also tracking retention rates. So how long are people watching each individual video? Basically, if you're publishing a 10-minute video, a 12-minute video, but people are only watching it for two minutes, that's not good. YouTube does not like that. So let's dive into an example on my channel. This is a video I shot up in Steamboat Springs one month ago called Run Rabbit Run 100 Mile Race. Let's see how long people actually tuned in and watched this vlog. So there you go. That was a real-life example on this YouTube channel and you can do the same on your channel. Click on any video on your YouTube channel. Look at the analytics and see how long people are actually watching. All right, that was tip number one. Make longer videos, produce longer videos, but make sure you're keeping people's attention throughout. I'm just gonna ask the question of the day right now because I'm so curious. Oh, let's let the bus go by. I'm so curious, have you noticed the longer videos on this channel over the past week? And what did you think? Like what do you think? This is a big step for this daily vlog is to publish 10-minute plus videos. And I know like your time is so precious, so valuable, and you stick around for so long, many of you the whole time, which is amazing, thank you. But what do you think about the longer form videos on this channel? That's the question of the day, thank you. The snow started again, the snow started again. All right, one last point on the topic of publishing longer videos for YouTube.  Filming and editing, hi, how's it going? Thanks for the video bomb. So, she was nice. Basically, you gotta work harder, right? This is life, okay? I know not everyone wants to hear that you gotta work harder on YouTube, but it's so true. And at least in the upfront, in the laying the foundation of your channel, you gotta work harder and be willing to do it. All right, let's go. We're back at the yellow wall, we're back at the yellow wall. Okay, you wanna see a little bit more of my story? Seven years ago, we took these photos right here. That's right, those are some wedding photos from True Love and Eyes Wedding. Okay, tip number two for increasing watch time on your YouTube channel. Have a story in mind before you hit record. Everyone, human beings were made for great stories. Think of Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings, Frodo and the Shire. That's the beginning. What is the middle? Walking through Middle Earth. That's the middle, the chunk, the meat of the story. And what is the end? Him throwing the ring into Mount Doom, a beginning, a middle, and an end. That is, those are the three key ingredients for any great story. So, in today's blog, what was the beginning of this story?  And listen, these are small details, well, I have big details of life, but a lot of you have never been on this channel, and so I wanna share my life with you, my story with you. Remember, this is raw, this is real here. And what's the middle? The middle are the three points that I'm sharing with you right now. I just shared number two with you, the stories. And number three, the last part of today's story, today's vlog, is going to be me showing, revealing to you some of my YouTube analytics from the past month. Basically, the last, especially the last two weeks, to show you how the watch time on this channel is going up, is going up. And I just wanna, it's just amazing. And so, okay, tip number three, coming up, there's a big blue bear in downtown Denver, just thought you'd like to know that. It's cold. All right, third and final idea, and tip for helping you increase watch time on your channel. Basically, don't be afraid to withhold some of the goodness for the last part of your video. I just mentioned 30 seconds ago that I'm gonna reveal to you some of my YouTube analytics to show you what's happening on this channel. That's kind of a big deal. Like, a lot of creators, I've never seen them really share their analytics.  Cause I wanna be transparent with you and literally show you how watch time is going up on this channel. It's exciting. So, stay tuned, and that is my hint. And so, you can use this strategy as well, like drop hints throughout your video saying that there's gonna be goodness coming, but it's a double-edged sword. Cause you gotta pull through. You can't forget to say it in. You gotta make sure it's worth the people's time that they stick around for that. And you gotta make sure it connects to the whole overall story for the daily vlog, the daily story, whatever you happen to be filming. Maybe it's a how-to video. Maybe it's a cooking video. Maybe it's a shopping haul video. It can be applied to frankly, any video. Capiche? All right, time to go get warm. I'm getting hungry. I'm getting hungry. All right, hopefully the information that I've shared with you today gives you something to chew on. Something like pizza. Something to feed your YouTube engine. Now listen, don't go out and implement all three right now. It takes time. It takes patience for anything on YouTube. And if you learned something, if I helped you in some small way, make sure you hit that subscribe button because next week, yes, I'm gonna be publishing another video on improving engagement on your YouTube channel. Does that sound good? Does that sound good? All right, people are yelling at me, and that's okay. I gotta get home. Oh, and I gotta get to internet so I can show you my YouTube analytics. Stay tuned. It was delicious. It was delicious. Thank you for Taka Wednesdays, true love. And I'm glad you got to see a little bit of Michael trying his food for the second time in his life. It's a big deal. It's a big deal. All right, that is part of my story, right? We're talking about stories a little bit today. I'm looking at my YouTube stats. Here is the end of the story, all right? Remember, I promised YouTube analytics. I'm looking at the same screen you are. And it's fascinating, right? The watch time is going up and I'm putting into practice some of the tips and ideas that I have shared with you over the last 10 minutes. So as you can see, pretty level watch time, pretty level watch time, and then boom, October 2nd hits. And what was the video that I published on October 2nd? Best YouTube analytic to improve in 2019. So preparing for next year. Look at that. That is, if I'm doing the math right, basically a little over a week ago. And look at the graph, folks. Bottom line, I'm not messing around. I'm trying to be transparent, open with you. And I hope, I hope helpful. That's why I'm here. That's why I wanna help you guys, especially the other creators that are just kinda eh, eh, eh, struggling a little bit. Like they're just trying to get over that hump. Think about the three points that I've mentioned today. Go back and review if you need to. And again, if you want to, if you want to take the next step, go check out the playlist that I already mentioned, upper right hand corner. That playlist has, it doesn't have a ton of content yet, but I'm working on it and it will help you formulate ideas and understand where YouTube is headed in the future, meaning 2019, because it's right around the corner. I love you guys. Thanks for being here. Thanks for looking at my YouTube analytics. And if you're still watching, drop, and I know it's a hard word to spell, drop analytics down in the comment if you can spell it correctly, bonus points for you. See beauty, work hard and love each other.  Why don't you subscribe to? And if you have time, maybe take the link, copy it, paste it, share it with some friends, share it with your social media contacts and just be like, hey, check this guy out. He's trying to help others on YouTube. Maybe you could learn something. I'd appreciate it, I'd appreciate it. All right, now I'm signing off.
