Just protect, like be the protectors, we were the strong people. So why are the strongest people on this planet trying to, you know, take advantage of innocent, you know, weaker beings doesn't make any sense. I'm in this for the animals. I'm not in this for these selfish, half plant-based, animal-abusing apologists who care more about, you know, the way they look than the way the animals feel. Hello everyone, welcome to another video. So this video here is about John Venus. He recently uploaded a video saying, I'm not vegan anymore. Big surprise. It wasn't a surprise to me. It wasn't a surprise probably to a lot of people. He's done this before. This time it looks like he's really serious. He's really like, that's it. He's not going to be a vegan anymore.   So an animal abuser.  And then like the next week, they're like, nah, I'm actually kind of racist. I'm going to introduce a bit of racism into my lifestyle now. Or, you know, I'm anti-domestic violence. Oh, no, I'm going to introduce a little bit of domestic violence into my lifestyle now. Beat my wife on the weekends. Oh, I'm anti-child abuse. Yeah, anti-child abuse for five years.   But a lot of these plant-based, you know, dieters and, you know, athletes and, you know, they think of veganism as a diet. Veganism is an ethical philosophy. I mean, how many times do I have to say this? It's not about your health. It's not about the environment. It's about the animals. It's very clear. Veganism is about the animals. Veganism is a lifestyle which seeks to exclude as far as it's practicable and possible all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals. Boom. Where does it say, oh, it's about your health. It's a plant. You know, we don't have to go through this. Anyone who follows me knows this. Anyone who understands the true principle of veganism knows this. John Venus keeps forgetting.  I don't want to be called a vegan anymore. I don't want to... This is all because of public opinion. This is all because of social pressure. He was too afraid to stand up for what he truly believed in. I don't want to be called a vegan anymore. There's some people in the movement that I don't agree with. They're a bit extreme. They're radically against animal abuse. I'm not. I'm so chill. I'm so apologetic. I don't really care about the animals. I care more about my image. So I'm just going to be disassociated from the word vegan. Now, he got a lot of backlash for this. John Venus got so much backlash for this. He backpedaled. He backpedaled and he took it back. It was really very confused. I felt a bit bad for the guy, to be honest. I felt a bit bad for him at this stage. Now, it comes out a while later that he was actually eating eggs at the time. So he was eating eggs, promoting a plant-based diet, promoting veganism in his whatever weird way he does it, whatever false way he does it because it's not about health or a lifestyle. It's about animal abuse. It's about the animals. This is why I come out. I don't want to be associated as a vegan anymore because he was eating eggs at this time and only come out till later. So more dishonesty. Now, let's just watch a few clips about John just to get an idea of what he thinks about activism and all these things. I consider myself an activist. I always have. When I went vegan, right after watching Earthlings, I really felt like dropping fitness and just going out and talking about these ethical issues and talking about factory farming, visiting slaughterhouses and documenting these things.  Yeah, but you never did.  So you kind of, when you watch Earthlings at the start, you woke up to what was happening to animals and you understand the true principle of veganism.  And because you're afraid of making people uncomfortable, which I'm not, you are, right, you forgot about that principle. You forgot about what happens in Earthlings or something. You really, you really wishy-washy. Joey is more of a, the more in your face, you know, he doesn't go easy on, as easy on people. And I do, like, I think that it's not a bad thing. I still think that the majority of people might be a little bit more offended than intrigued by his approach, but I think that his approach is very necessary as well because it really brings a harsh reality. He just pays lip service to me here. We know what you truly think, John. You truly think that you don't want, you don't want this type of activism in the vegan movement, which is why you disassociate yourself from the vegan movement. You don't want animal rights activists out there defending animals, like militantly, militantly, radically against animal abuse because it makes your public image look bad. Okay? Tell the truth. Tell the truth. Like, you don't like my style of activism because it makes you feel uncomfortable. There's many vegans in the movement like that or plant-based people in the movement like that. They don't agree with it because they don't understand it.  Showing slaughter footage and, you know, really getting people to understand the ethical side of things and the reality behind buying meat and animal products is crucial because without that I would never have turned vegan myself, right? I'm always suspicious of people who are vegan but never talk about the animals, you know? It's suspicious. Why don't you talk about the animals? Like, why don't you, you're vegan. You went vegan for the animals. Like, John admits he went vegan for the animals. Never talks. He might hear a net. Look, I mean, to be fair, I don't watch his videos. I think I don't like watching his videos because he rarely talks about the animals. But those who talk the least about the animals are the most likely to go back to eating them. That's without a doubt. I needed that visual. I needed that reality check and, you know, to be able to detach from my, you know, relationship with food and family traditions and culture. I needed a reality check and I think you need another one now. Like, this is what happens. People forget why they're vegan. They get in their own little, you know, lifestyle and don't, like me. I'm constantly reminding myself of what goes on to animals constantly because that's the fight. That's the fight. You want to end slaughterhouses. That's the fight. We want to stop animal exploitation. That's the fight. The fight isn't, oh my God, like, I'm worried about my views.  That's not thinking of the victims. That's thinking of yourself. You come under some fire recently and now I did a podcast with John Venus, which I'm very embarrassed about this podcast.  And I don't say that about many people in the movement to be honest with you. I felt kind of bad for the guy and I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Now, my reputation as an animal rights activist who cares about animals and cares about justice is being tarnished by me pandering to some maybe plant-based apologist in a podcast which goes against my principles. You kind of projected this message that you don't care if people exploit and kill animals, but I know you personally I think you went vegan after watching Earthlings. Can you just explain yourself for those viewers who are still a little bit confused about that? Oh, 100%. I consider that the worst video or piece of content that I've made in my life the most spontaneous. The worst piece of content he made in his life. So because I knew John Venus and I knew he went vegan for the animals originally, like I gave him the benefit of the doubt. That's why I just gave him the benefit of the doubt. I thought, you know, a lot of people they don't have that strength. They don't have the strength they get lost in the wilderness out here and they just don't focus on the animals. And this is why people they can lose a bit of faith. And I just thought, you know, he was going through a hard time. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I thought I'd have a podcast with him. Now, John Venus actually contacted me to do content with him at this stage. He goes, hey, Joey, I'm in England. Do you want to do some content together? And I said, okay, well, let's do a podcast. I'm having a podcast. You want to come down? And he ran down to do the podcast. My inkling on this is that I think because he lost so much respect within the animal rights movement, his way of sort of garnering more support within the animal rights community was aligning himself with someone like me, who he doesn't even agree with my activism. Let's be honest. John Venus doesn't even agree with my activism. I guarantee he doesn't. But he wanted to align himself with me because I hadn't lost the entire respect of the entire community for not wanting to call myself vegan, for, you know, throwing the animals under the bus.  I'm losing faith in this person, so I don't want to align myself with him. When you're a social media influencer, I've posted over probably like three to five thousand times, I believe. And I've never had a post like that, right? But eventually, something's going to go wrong, you're going to say something bad, you're going to mess up. Eventually, after three and a half thousand posts, the truth is going to come out that this is all an act. I honestly, in my heart, knew that you do care about what happens to animals.  You're more, hey, this is what I'm doing, you know, and I appreciate that. We need that because some people, I'm just going to turn them straight over to you. Now, this is what I regret, you know.  I know I do, but their actions speak louder than words. So their behavior is like, okay, I eat a plant-based diet. But when you care about animals, you care about their suffering to the point that you speak about it. You say this is awful.  Look, I understand I get a bit worked up, I'm working on that. But like, I am always for the animals. I speak truthfully, I speak honestly to people. I don't baby them. Okay, I'm not an apologist. Here, when I say, I honestly in my heart knew that you do care about what happens to animals. I honestly in my heart know that you do care about animals.  And when I show you his video, this comes to light. He doesn't care about them enough to put their life above his, you know, optimal diet utopia. You're just less direct with the ethical thing. You're more, hey, this is what I'm doing. You know, and I appreciate that we need that because some people I'm just going to turn them straight over to you. Now, he doesn't speak about the ethical thing and I said, I'll just turn them straight over to you. I would never turn anyone over to you. I'm selling the movement right now not to trust you. You're dishonest.  You care more about your image than you do about what doing what's right. You never speak about the injustice that's happening to animals, even though you came to care about it, which is a contradiction. You either care about it or you don't. You know, your behavior shows that. Your behavior shows that. I'm just warning anyone who's watching this video up to this point not to trust this guy. Don't trust him. Don't trust him what he says. He's proven time and time again that he can't be honest. You can follow him if you want, do whatever you want, but just take everything he says for a grain of salt. The most important thing for me personally is that I know my intentions. I know what my intent is and I know in my heart that it's good. I'm doing everything for the right reasons. As long as I know that and my closest friends and family know that, I'm happy. I think the truth and my intentions will reveal themselves eventually. Your truth and your intentions will reveal themselves eventually. Now, I don't know what your intent is in your heart. I mean, your actions should show that. Your actions should show your intent. When you make a video, you say something that could offend someone, but you say it because it's the right thing.  You're not focusing as much on being liked as you are with doing what's right. That's how I know your good intentions. Oh, wow, he said that. I mean, it's true. It's true, but look how this has got this person angry, but he's been honest here. That's how your true intentions come out in the end. Are you still speaking for the animals? Do you really care about this movement? Even through the hard times, are you still pushing through? Because, let's face it, if you didn't have these values in your heart, you could have gone x-vegan kind of ages ago and got millions and millions of views and sold millions and millions of programs. But you've obviously got your values aligning with what you do. That's why you're not going to budge on that.  Like drama, sales, and... You're not going to budge on that. You could have gone x-vegan, got millions and millions of views, sold millions of programs. Do you see what I mean? He knows that.  Wait for it. But do you see how he stutters and stumbles here after I say this? You've obviously got your values aligning with what you do. That's why you're not going to budge on that.  Like drama, sales, and... See that big stumble? I put him on the spot there, didn't I? I put him on the spot because that's like, in your heart, you're doing what's right and it's aligning with what you do. No, Joey, that's what you're doing. Just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean John Venus feels a certain way. Just because I feel a certain way about animals and how I'm doing what's right in my heart and I won't budge, that doesn't mean John Venus won't. This was before he came out saying... This podcast was before he came out saying, I've been eating eggs. You know what I mean? So I didn't know that. That came out later. The other day, John Venus confessed to eating eggs about a year ago and he came up with the most ridiculous excuses I've ever heard.   I don't want anything to do with you. Just because you have integrity in your heart doesn't mean everyone else does. I'm really starting to become suspicious of those people who never talk about the blatant, disgusting cruelty that happens to animals every single day and they're happy to just go on with their life and not mention it at all. You know, I always try to go play these psychological things and only make content that I think will be the best for the non-vegans to be interested in their lifestyle. So John, remember you said like, you try to play these psychological games with people and only make videos that's going to get non-vegans interested in their lifestyle.  I'm not going to lie to you. Animals are being abused and tortured and murdered so you can eat their bodies. It's got to stop here. Now I'm going to do a body workout routine and show your plant-based diet and give you alternatives. Why don't you do both? Rarely. Now in John's words... ...and only make content that I think will be the best for the non-vegans to be interested in their lifestyle. Okay, so we only make content that's going to get non-vegans interested in their lifestyle. When he makes a video, I don't want to be vegan anymore. I just eating eggs, I lost faith and this and that. You're just making people feel like really in doubt.  I'm not here to tell you what is objectively right or what is wrong and I'm not here to listen to your arguments and to your opinions either. Okay. You take a study and you use that study to come to a conclusion but then another person with a whole another opinion will take that same exact study and come to the opposite conclusion to someone else. So John and Venus is actually a research scientist now. He knows how to interpret data. He actually knows more than all of the plant-based doctors combined. Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Dr. Neil Barnard, Dr. John McDougal, Dr. Michael Greger, and Nutrition Facts, Dr. Garth Davis, Dr. Michael Clapper, Dr. Kim Williams, the ex-president of the American College of Cardiology and Chief of Cardiology, True North Health Center, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the NHS, the list goes on and on and on. There are so many people who can interpret data who work within plant-based nutrition that are much more qualified to speak on this than John Venus is. I mean, like I said before, I'm not putting down anyone who doesn't have this high level of intellect. Or even can't interpret data. Interpreting data is very complicated. I'm not very good at it, but I know there are some people who are very good at it, and I always go to the experts to interpret the data for me. I don't go to John Venus. I don't go to someone who focuses more on how he looks and selling his diet programs and pandering to people to go to him for any type of nutrition advice or medical advice or really important nutrition advice as well. I would go for the experts. So I think that goes for everyone, like every single activist who is all about ethics knows that, you know, you can be healthy on a vegan diet, because if not, there is no way anyone would, you know, go for this lifestyle. I was acknowledging that there's, you know, hundreds of thousands, millions of other vegans who are doing fine. And if they really ran into problems, you know, and they were suffering, then they would go back to eating animals to save their life, basically, or to alleviate a great amount of suffering for themselves, and they couldn't possibly do it. It's just not true that you would put a sentient animal's life before your own. That's not going to happen. We can think that, you know, we are that selfless, but if that were the case, we as humans would have died out a long time ago. We are always looking after ourselves and our own before, you know, trying to, you know, share our empathy with other beings and creatures, so. This is another video. I'm chopping back and forth to another video that he made on vegan activism, but he's like, it doesn't make sense that you would put another sentient life before your own. No one's asking anyone to die. He's talking about a survival situation, John Venus. You're talking about a survival situation.  But we're not talking about that, are we, mate? We're talking about just a basic level of well-being. You know, a basic level of health. Basic level of well-being where you don't have to, you know, murder animals. Like I'm talking about just giving them the right to life and choosing alternatives. And you know that. It's not a life and death scenario to be vegan.   We're doing this because it feels right in every single way. And this is my perspective. And because this is my perspective, we're only going to listen to other people with the same perspective that have the same mission to eliminate animal suffering, to live a plant-based lifestyle, a vegan diet. Like, a lot of people haven't connected with what happens to animals. So it's going to feel like you're in a bubble because no one exposes themselves to what happens to animals more than vegans do, more than animal rights activists do. So of course we're going to be constantly reminded of that. And that's going to be our main motivation, 100%. But we've also got multiple experts. Science coming out, like, every single week. New science and, you know, big organizations, peer-reviewing the studies as well that he's talking about. One person comes to one conclusion. Another person comes to another conclusion. That's what a peer reviewer is for. That's why they peer-review. They get a bunch of people to review the data so that they come to a consensus and then they release the study. You know, and yes, and some people do have that as a mission to eliminate animal suffering, to eliminate animal exploitation. Do you? It's either vegan, pro-vegan, or it's anti-vegan and pro-meat-eating and pro-murder and death and these things. And this is the mindset that is, you know, I wasn't that mindset myself, so I know that that is the dominant mindset for a lot of people. Yeah, because you're either vegan or you're paying for animals to be tortured and killed. It's not hard to understand. Maybe you need to watch Earthlings again. Maybe you need to sit through the entire length of Dominion to understand this logic. If you pay for animal products, you're paying for animals to be exploited and killed. What's so hard to understand about that? It is either one or the other. I have never claimed that the science, you know, proves that a vegan diet, 100% vegan diet is the best for optimal health. What does he mean by optimal health? Like, keep saying optimal health. It's like, he drinks energy drinks. He constantly makes videos of him smashing down vegan junk food. He's not always exercising.  You know, so why, if you're so concerned with optimal health, why do you have massive junk food cheat days and drink energy drinks full of caffeine and junk? You're not that concerned with optimal health. That's like taking a plant-based diet to the next level and being very rigid. And no one's like that. I ate vegan burgers all the time. You have vegan burgers all the time. No one's really concerned with this optimal utopian health. They're concerned with the general amount of well-being. You know, as long as you're not destroying your health to the point that you're suffering. But, you know, you've got a general amount of well-being and you can have maybe a better than normal health status where you can have a bit of junk food here and there.  It's those people who are so focused on the raw lifestyle and fasting and having this optimal utopian vision. They're the people who fall off. I've seen it time and time again. All the ex-vegans are focusing on some optimal health. Like, I've got to be some amazing picture of health. The truth is you'll never get there. You've seen it with Tim Schief. He always wanted to be like some magical being. You know, like, oh my God, I feel amazing all the time. And you should just be happy with the general amount of well-being. You know, steer away from heart disease by avoiding oils and saturated fats. Have a higher whole foods plant-based diet and you're going to be good. You know, I was skeptical at first. But it turns out that it was, you know, I progressed even faster after switching to a plant-based diet. I struggled with digestive issues. I had, you know, a pretty severe case of constipation often. So that was, like, removed instantly within two weeks. I was, like, feeling lighter and healthier. I also gained a lot of strength in the gym. You're not sacrificing gains at all by switching to a plant-based diet. It's exactly the same, if not better. Well, there you go, straight from his mouth. There is extremal little science and I am not convinced at all by the science that is used to support those claims. John Venus is an expert on reading data now. He's a scientific expert. You can't be healthy, optimally healthy on a vegan diet. You can't, well, can you be moderately healthy on a vegan diet? Can you live long on a vegan diet? Why doesn't he ever present his opposing research or point out the flaws in the studies? So, like, if you really did have a problem with the studies, why doesn't he personally, if he's so good at interpreting data better than Dr. Greger, Dr. Neil Barnard, the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine, Dr. Clapper, Dr. Garth Davies, if he's so good at interpreting the data, why doesn't he interpret the data for us and tell us what's wrong with it? I know why.  We're all trying to come from a place of compassion and love and trying to make the world a better place. You're literally going back to eating animal products. Eating animal products is one of the cruelest things anyone ever does. You're deliberately supporting suffering, death and violence and for no, you know, justifiable reason. This is not something that I as a parent, as a father, am comfortable with doing.    You know, we've been killing animals for millions of years. I'm not comfortable teaching my child not to kill animals and to harm animals and actually for all for compassion and love, as you know me, John Venus, I'm all for compassion and love, but I don't want to teach my child not to be cruel to animals and to harm animals, even though I'm going to feed him animal products because we've been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years. That's the reason we've always done it. We've always done a lot of cruel things, John, you know. We've always killed each other. We've always raped each other.  Cannibalism was happening for thousands of years, you know. Like, there's people doing crazy things in survival situations, but because of John Venus', you know, change in life choice, we should continue doing those cruel and horrific things. Instead, do something that requires supplementation to make possible like B12 because, again, I used to think that you can get B12 from the soil and water and that there is no scientific evidence for that to be true. Here goes about the scientific evidence claims here. You know, John, you never provide your evidence. Are you going to present a study that is flawed or something? It's hilarious how he's going on about, you have to supplement B12 on a vegan diet when meat eaters diet is supplemented with B12 as well. They feed it to the animals. They inject it into the animals. Even when you go to the most high-grade, pasture-raised, grass-finished beef, they still supplement those bit animals with B12. They inject it into them. They put it into the feed. They give them nutrient supplements so that it's in their flesh. So why not just eat the supplement directly? And there's also a plant-based source of B12 called duckweed. Have you seen that duckweed? No? Don't care? I've had some question marks because of personal experiences, because of my real-life observations. So he's basically saying that because of his personal experience, that's evidence that the vegan diet doesn't work. It's basically an anecdote. We've heard this before. We keep hearing the same thing. And I don't want to give any personal information, so I'm not going to talk in detail about any of that. His whole channel was based on basically exposing his private life to everyone. He's always given personal information, but in this instance, he's not because he's lying. And if he gave us the reason... Let's just say he gave us a reason. Oh, I've got stomach issues. Oh, I've got this issue. He knows that it will get destroyed. This is why he's not telling us. He says it's this health issue and everyone's just going to laugh. I think it's more paranoia. Conspiracy theories. Oh, we've been doing it for millions of years. We shouldn't stop. We're going to de-evolve like all of these conspiracy theories that are based in no evidence. I don't feel comfortable with my kid being vegan. I cannot continue that lifestyle myself. I don't feel comfortable with my kid being vegan. I can't present any data to prove that it's harmful for kids, but I don't feel comfortable with it. So therefore, because I don't feel comfortable with my kid being vegan, I'm going to go back to abusing animals, too. Granted, I'll still do everything in my power to do what I feel is best with my moral compass for the environment, the planet, the animals, and all of that stuff. If you're not vegan, there's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do. What are you going to do? Go get some free-range eggs from the local farmer. When all of those free-range egg-laying hens come from a parent breeding shed, where they spike the flock, they get roosters to go in there and to mate with the chickens over and over again until they're exhausted, and then when the roosters are exhausted, they cull them off, and then they introduce more roosters to mate with those same chickens so they can keep producing fertilized eggs, and they go off to free-range farms, organic farms, backyard farms, and cage farms. So all of the fertilized eggs come from the same parent breeding sheds. And we all know what happens at hatcheries by now.  You're going to support that industry. Is that what it is? Eggs? Is it the fishing industry where you're going to drag fish out of the ocean by their face where they suffocate and die? Most of the animals on Earth that are killed and eaten are fish, one to three trillion, destroying the oceans. You know what is it? Which animal product are you going to choose?   Which is it? You're going to murder a sentient being because you can't interpret data properly or you're having some anecdotal issues that you don't want to go to an expert to fix? What is it?  And I don't care if someone watching feels extremely offended because it's not about you, it's not about me. It's not about you, it's not about me, it's about the animals. That's what veganism is about. Exactly. It's about the animals. So where do they get left here, on your plate? And confirmed my belief that the vegan diet is the optimal, the healthiest diet ever, right? You can look at children's health pediatric journals and if you look at some of these papers in children's health pediatric journals, none of them say that vegan or vegetarian diets are bad for children. They never recommend people to not feed their kids vegan or vegetarian diets. Vegan gains is very well versed in health research, much more trusting than John Venus when it comes to reviewing data and things like that. So I would go check out a vegan gains' video which I'll leave a link down below and you can just watch his rebuttal. I'm not scared of getting flack for any of this. I've done this several times in the past and I just don't care. You just don't care, you've said that before. My closest friends eat meat, they don't care about whether or not an animal goes through certain things. I just, I don't care. I don't care what people do in their own life in terms of dietary choice.  I don't care about animals, it's fine, I don't care.   I'm not scared of getting flack for any of this. I've done this several times in the past. And it's interesting how he says I'm not scared of getting flack for any of this but he hid my comment on his video and the reason I know he hid it is because I left the comment on his video and it didn't have any likes but other people were getting likes and it's funny Joey Carpstrong didn't get any likes on his comment and that's because simply there's an option for you to hide the comment and yeah, if you're not scared of getting flack why couldn't you receive the flack from me? That was one of the motivations actually for making this video because I couldn't leave my comment on his video to just disassociate myself from this person publicly so I thought this is pissing me off I'm going to have to make a video to just publicly say I don't align myself with this person People can do whatever they want to support their own biases and to feel superior to me or to any other people who choose differently than them that is up to everyone to do You feel so superior to animals that because you've got some fabricated health issue that you can't talk to experts about and you're such an expert on science that you feel so superior to animals that you're going to destined them to a life of exploitation to feed you and your family harm, exploitation and cruelty to feed your family you're the one who's acting superior But it's just not right it's not a compassionate way of doing things It's just not right it's just not a compassionate way of doing things acting superior to those who treat animals as inferior is not right it's not a compassionate way of doing things even though I'm choosing not to be vegan who knows what he's eating who knows if he's going to go full carnivore he's so easily misled this guy that he probably might so you don't dare talk about compassion when you're about to treat animals like shit and it's not a way that reflects the core principles of veganism that got me attracted to the whole thing in the first place of compassion and love and all these things Veganism's got nothing to do with compassion and love this is where the misconception lies Veganism's about being a nice person about being compassionate and loving you can be an asshole and be vegan you can be compassionate and loving and be vegan vegan's specifically to do with the abuse and cruelty that happens to animals and animal exploitation that's simple you can be an asshole and be against child abuse there's a lot of assholes that don't abuse children alright you don't have to be loving and compassionate to not abuse children just have to agree with the simple idea exploiting and abusing the innocent isn't wrong and immoral this is what got me attracted to love and compassion this is what I mean this mindset about love and compassion it's about justice, fairness and doing the right thing to everyone who watches and follows along this channel and I hope that you guys can stick around because there's so many more things and the journey has just begun there's a lot more to come so this is it, there's a lot more to come guys remember when I said in my podcast to him because let's face it if you didn't have these values in your heart you could have gone x-vegan kind of ages ago and got millions and millions of views and sold millions and millions of programs he knows that by doing this he's going to get more views people are going to be like oh well the vegan community won't watch my stuff because they think I'm a dishonest liar and lost faith in me so maybe if I disassociate from the vegan movement say I'm not vegan anymore people are going to be watching me for the drama he recently Dr Michelle Lowe put up on her video that John Venus recently become a my protein ambassador which is a non-vegan company they do vegan options too but he's a my protein ambassador so maybe it's a little bit of public image thing he's trying to do I just don't trust a guy talks more about himself than he does about the animals he's just so full of himself that he cares more about what his friends think in public image that he does about doing what's right is about love and compassion and not about justice and fairness and doing the right thing you know it's just all a facade I have no apologies to give to anyone I think that this is a very very good thing why don't you apologize to the fucking animals and I think that you guys you know are in for a very interesting journey ahead if you want to follow along you guys are in for a very interesting journey if you want to follow along so it's all a ploy to get more views and get people to again I'm not going to tell you why I'm not vegan I'm going to keep that private even know nothing else in my life is private look I literally had to make this video just to disassociate from him I take back anything that I said I gave him the benefit that I doubt I was wrong I'm sorry for that I'm in this for the animals I'm not in this for these selfish half plant based animal abusing apologist who care more about you know the way they look than the way the animals feel I just want to take a second to thank and you know acknowledge everyone that is proactively fighting for this cause because as we know it's an important one and it's not going to go anywhere unless we put our best efforts forward to push for a better planet so I hope you appreciate then John why I made this video because you support activists right and you're now an animal abuser so I'm going to do some activism here and teach people why they shouldn't abuse animals I've got an idea that he might go for the free range eggs organic eggs and you know wild caught fish and grass fed beef or a cow shot in the skull I just don't know what animal product he's going to choose to be ethical it's just you know but yeah the reason I'm making this is because I have a responsibility to defend the animals that John Venus wants to now abuse to feed his family so I'm just going to leave you with a few things John said a few years ago when I interviewed him and I'm just going to leave them here to remind John and to remind everyone else why we don't do this to animals you know there's always another option speak to experts don't get advice off of airheads like John Venus you know and yeah like I hope you guys understand why I thought I felt responsible to make this video and I'll leave you with this seeing you know actual real footage of these animals you know just like minutes before getting slaughter just really connected with me you could see their suffering and fear like just in their eyes just as you would with your own pets and I own a dog as well so I just I just couldn't you know ignore this anymore so yeah I just decided to change there and then like that's it for me there is nothing manly about eating meat when you actually think about it when you see these you know the issues that we face today when you see the cruelty that we're causing these animals we're mainly about pushing your power over someone else who is you know incapable of defending themselves you know just protect like be the protectors we were the strong people so why are the strongest people on this planet trying to you know take advantage of innocent you know weaker beings


In my last video, I noted that one investigation fell four out of five bottles of commercial herbal supplements, bought at major retailers, didn't contain any of the herbs on their labels, instead often containing little more than cheap fillers like powdered rice and house plants. At least you hope it just contains house plants. Weight loss supplements are infamous for being adulterated with drugs. In a sampling of 160 weight loss supplements that claim to be 100% natural, more than half were tainted with drugs, active pharmacological ingredients, ranging from antidepressants like Prozac to rectile dysfunction meds like Viagra. Diuretic drugs are frequent contaminants, which makes sense in my keto videos. I talk about rapid water losses, that billion-dollar gimmick that has sold low-carb diets for more than a century, but why the Viagra? At least the spiked Viagra and Prozac are drugs that are legal. Researchers in Denver tested every weight loss supplement they could find within a 10-mile radius, and alarmingly, found a third were adulterated with banned ingredients. The most common illegal adulterant of weight loss supplements is Subutramine, which was sold as meridia before it was yanked off the market back in 2010 for heart attacks and stroke risk, now also blamed for cases of slimming supplement-induced psychosis.  Wouldn't you be able to tell if caffeine was added to a supplement? Perhaps not. If it also had, Tamazepam added a controlled substance benzodiazepine downer sedative found in half of the caffeine-tainted supplements. Doesn't the FDA demand recalls of adulterated supplements? Yeah, but they just pop right back on store shelves. 27 supplements purchased at least six months after the recalls were released, and two-thirds still contained banned substances. 17 out of the 27, with the same pharmaceutical adulterant found originally, and six containing one or more additional banned ingredients. Aren't the manufacturers penalized for non-compliance? Yes, but fines for violations are small compared to the profits. One of the ways supplement makers can skirt the laws by labeling them as not intended for human consumption, for example, labeling the fatal fat burner DNP as an industrial or research chemical. That's like how designer street drugs can be sold openly at gas stations and convenience stores as bath salts. Another way is to claim synthetic stimulants added to slimming supplements are actually natural food constituents like listing the designer drug dimethylamylamine as geranium oil extract. The FDA banned it in 2012 after it was determined that DMAA was not found in geraniums. And who eats geraniums anyway? Despite being tentatively tied to cases of sudden death and hemorrhagic stroke, DMAA has continued to be found in weight loss supplements with innocuous names like simply skinny pollen made by beefit with Trish. There's little doubt that certain banned supplements like ephedra could help people lose weight. There's only one problem, wrote a founding member of the American Board of Integrative Medicine.  Are there any safe and effective dietary supplements for weight loss? When popular slimming supplements were put to the test in a randomized placebo-controlled trial, not a single one could beat out sugar pills. A systematic review of diet pills came to a similar conclusion. None appear to generate appreciable impacts on body weight without undue risks. That was the conclusion reached in a similar review out of the Weight Management Center at Johns Hopkins recently, which ended with this. It is fitting to highlight that perhaps the most general and safest alternative herbal approach to weight control is to substitute low calorie density foods for high calorie density and processed foods, thereby reducing total calorie intake. In other words, more whole-plant foods and fewer animal foods and junk. By taking advantage of the low calorie density and health-promoting effects of plant-based foods, one may be able to achieve weight loss or at least assist weight maintenance without cutting down on the volume of food consumed or compromising its nutrient value.


Tommy here from Orange Systems, and I got a new firewall for Christmas This is actually my old firewall because the new one is in production in production use I should say now this video is not sponsored by neck gate But yes, they did send me a new firewall for Christmas specifically a neck 8 2200 now neck 8 has already posted videos about the specs and the Speed and the details of the device and I'm not here to talk about those because as I said they're documented Actually, this is something that gate does a great job of is Documenting all the different variables in terms of I perf and I mix traffic with their VPN speeds And they have the max posted routing speeds, which I mean it's cool that they post how fast it can route But let's talk about production use and that's what I'm here to cover Not just a bunch of how fast can it possibly go because that's not something you always use in the real world in the real world You're using a lot of different applications and because we're using is in production and we installed it on December 24th of 2022 And it is February 25th of 2023. I have a few months of usage on it of using it at my office with my employees VPN again and we'll talk about all the different things we do with it But too long didn't watch it's held up really really well It is lived up to being a great and good upgrade to the 6100 and I said upgrade to the 6100 But let's actually look at the PF sense lineup that's available here in February of 2023 We have the neckate 1100 and 2100 which are their arm-based devices. These work great I recommend them to a lot of people just getting started with PF sense kind of your advanced home users But if you decide you want more than just PF blocker and a lot of rules and a lot of e-lands You go, I also want VPN speed and they will support VPNs just not gonna be fast And you want some traffic inspection the 1100 and 2100 are gonna kind of fall flat on that the 4100 You can do that. This is where their x86 lineup starts, which is 4100 6100 and 8200 all x86 as are the neckate 1537 and 1541 But the 4100 only has two and a half gig But the 6100 having that 10 gig connection that makes it a really good choice And if you need 10 gig but a little bit more speed a little bit more processing That's where the 8200 comes in now the 4100 6100 8200 are all rack mountable But specifically the 8200 only ships as a rack mountable option and it's the same bracket for the 16100 or 4100 So there's they're all interchangeable also of note the little barrel connector and the power connector for these are the same on these Devices with the same power supply, which is actually more wattage than any of them need But hey, it's better to spec it that way than the other way now Let's talk about our workloads first is HA proxy also with let's encrypt This allows us to have the reverse proxy set up with good certificates for all the different internal things and some external things That we have to access this works really well But honestly it worked just as well on a 6100 because it's not something that requires too much processing power unless you have a really large use case for it in terms of like a High number or a high usage website But for the most part for most people, especially just running some internal services It's gonna run well on most any of the devices that naked has even the lower end ones next is free radius and open VPN free radius Is how we authenticate our open VPN for external employees or when employees are not in the office and need to remote in some are Dedicated external some are on and off external and it works perfectly fine Obviously, you're gonna get a little bit speed boost for going to the 8200 the next one is wire guard And that's how my studio connects to my office. I've been using wire guard for a little over a year now I have not had any problems with it. I know it's still marked as an experimental package But I really feel it's ready for production use I'm sure that experimental tag will come off pretty soon here in PF sense, but it does work really well Saracada and not just using it. It's the number of rules and number of interfaces This is where we did see a big performance improvement from the 6100 to the 8200 because it's not just running Saracada It's not the traffic inspection and speed that you run into but the reloading of rules If you have to do an update or you have to make a rule change to Saracada or snort This goes the same for both you will have a long pause for the reload time This can sometimes cause some confusion where you have a rule that got triggered falsely you flag it So it's a wait listed rule, but then you run into the problem of it Triggers again before the rule has time to reload because it may take 60 seconds or a minute or two Depending on how many rules you have to reload. This time was significantly cut down I didn't have a timer that I set from the 6100 to 8200, but this is the one thing It's not the routing that you run into with Saracada and it's slowing it down the connections One of the big ones is just that reload time gets notably Faster there are of course benefits with the routing and depending on how many connections you have the Saracada traffic inspection Can be a little bit intensive, but it also is in direct proportion number of rules You have now pf blocker doesn't take a whole lot of horsepower on pf blocker But that runs fine is another thing we're using and what does take and this was another significant improvement is the end top NG and top NG is great to get a video on it I really like it for being able to figure out where all the traffic is going and kind of inspect everything And we have a lot of connections and being able to sort things out This is something that I wouldn't even attempt or it's probably not even gonna work at all on your really low-end neck gate devices and as you move up though 4100 into the 6100 you're gonna get much better performance out of it and it still goes with the 8200 and I think having the MVME probably helps that a little bit because it does run a database to keep track of all the Connections and depending on your data retention settings. Yeah, that's gonna be a big deal in terms of Rewrite and keeping track of all that So if you want to go either with the 6100 max or you get an MVME or the 8200 and top NG If you're gonna use that a lot and really want to dive deep into it It's going to be a lot better on those models now. I'm not gonna lie I was a skeptic when I first seen neck heat designing these with this large heat sink on the bottom with the 4100 and a 6100 which share this same chassis as the 8200 essentially the same form factors are obviously a little different under the hood but the heat dissipation has prone to be very very effective with this design even though it's on the bottom They've left plenty of airflow on these now the 8200 unlike its predecessors the 4100 and 6100 does have active cooling with a fan on it But that hasn't really been much of an issue in terms of any sound because it's a laptop fan That spins at a relatively low rpm and we haven't even under any workload really seen this hit any higher than 40 max Centigrade it just doesn't get that hot neither did the 4100 or 6100 both that extra Power and extra processing that you get with that different ship Well, that's going to mean you have a slightly higher thermal profile potential as you load it up But we haven't had any issues at all with it But it's worth noting now final notes on the 8200 in terms of my overall feelings on it as I said at the beginning It's worked really well The only minor issue to report is when we first received the device it had PF since 2205 and PF blocker was giving me a weird PHP error. We did talk to netgate We know this was a bug that was kind of like a known at the time and would be fixed in the 2301 and I want to do this video after a 2301 update and the bug went away We haven't had any problems at all But I should keep working PF blocker wouldn't stop it We just give a PHP error on the reload about once a day kind of a strange bug But that bug has now been fixed And so unless you're planning and going back to the old version of PF sense and there's also been an update to PF blocker Unless you plan on going back to the old version of that I don't see this as a problem you'll run into one more little side note Just more as a reminder that all the ports although they come factory labeled when and land you can also reassign them They're all individual ports not just on the 8200 but also the 6100 where I mentioned this before and I believe I mentioned it With the 4100 review they can all be assigned to however you like So yes, you can use that 10 gig port to become your land and that's actually what I did and they have a lot of VLANs attached to it But leave your thoughts and comments down below How do my forums for a more in-depth discussion or head over to the neck gate forums and well dive into the topic of the Latest version of PF sense and let me know down below if you've decided to load it right away Or you're still waiting a little longer to go to version 2301. All right, and thanks


It's now time for members' statements. The member for Brampton East. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since October 24, almost 300 owner operators from Unifor Local 4003 have been holding an information picket against their employer, Sea and Rail, in my riding of Brampton East. Through rain and cold weather, they have been out in large numbers, creating awareness about what they have described as terrible work conditions. Workers don't have access to proper washrooms. They don't even have separate washrooms for men and women. Instead, they have to use portable bathrooms in terrible and unhygienic conditions. Changes to the zoning made by the company has had a direct impact on the driver's economic livelihood. Conditions around the yard are described as terrible by these workers. They are hazardous and they are exposing them to unhealthy and dusty conditions. What's even worse is workers are afraid to raise these concerns about these conditions out of fear of reprisal and what has been described as a toxic and negative work environment created by management. Mr. Speaker, no one should ever feel unsafe at work. These women and men deserve better. They need an immediate action to address these issues. They need access to clean and decent washrooms and healthy conditions. They need to be able to work in an environment that is safe and open. I call on CN Rail to take immediate steps to resolve these issues and give these workers what they need and deserve. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Member Statements. Member for Burlington. Thank you, Speaker. This weekend was a very special and moving one, as I had the honour of participating in Remembered State Services, along with many others here, in Burlington, at the Senataph and the Legion, as well as several seniors' homes. One of the highlights, as always, is Armed Services Veterans and Poppy Seller, Bill Reed. Long before you see him, you hear his beautiful baritone voice, singing vintage World War I songs in the tunnel at the Applebee Go station, Speaker. Everyone as all smiles as normally rushed commuters stop to stop bills in his poppy box. Mr. Reed, who is 85 years old, which I can't believe, has been a fixture at the station ever since it was built in 1988, making his appearances a Remembrance Day, a Remembrance Week tradition. Decked out in his Legion blues, he's a hit with young and old alike. I was proud to participate in the Royal Canadian Legion number 60 dinner. It was a culmination of months of work by veterans to honour veterans. I want to recognize and extend my heartfelt thanks to the Legion for their hard work now and during their deployment. To mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended World War I, the burlope naval veterans rang the original ship bells of the HMCS Burlington a hundred times at sunset at the naval ship's memorial in Spencer Smith Park. It was a moving dedication to pay our respect to the brave sailors and merchant-reins who fought in the battle of the Atlantic and in so many other locations around the world over two World Wars. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you very much. Member Statements. Member for University Rosedale. Thank you, Speaker. I recently received a letter from Dr Matthew Mueller, an infectious disease expert, a scientist and a physician at Sitmikes Hospital. He writes, Within healthcare, it is essential that we protect both our staff and our vulnerable patients from contagious viruses such as the flu, which can spread easily within healthcare environments. I have seen patients suffer and outbreaks occur because a healthcare worker continued to work and provide care to patients despite being sick. Paid sick days are an important way to help workers stay home when ill with a contagious infection that could affect their coworkers and colleagues and are essential for the protection of our vulnerable patients. This is Dr Matthew Mueller, an expert on infectious disease, but instead of listening to the experts, this forward government is taking away paid sick days that keep vulnerable people safe. Instead of creating stable jobs, this forward government is making things worse by allowing bosses to pay part-time and temporary workers a lower hourly wage than full-time workers. And instead of helping the 1.6 million Ontarians who earn minimum wage, this government is making their life harder by not moving forward with a $15 minimum wage, essentially taking $2,000 a year out of their pockets. We need an economy that works for people, not just big business. And that means paid sick days, stable jobs and a living wage. Thank you. Member Statements. Member for Aurora Oak Ridges, Richmond Hurd. Thank you, Speaker. I rise today to recognize Global Entrepreneurship Week. This is a chance for us to celebrate and thank entrepreneurs across the province. Global Entrepreneurship Week is the world's largest celebration of entrepreneurship. Every November, 160 countries across the world participate in an effort to engage and inspire entrepreneurial activity. I would like to thank Futurepreneur Canada, the official host of Global Entrepreneurship Week, and encourage members of this House and those listening at home to visit their website and participate in one of many events happening in communities across our province. Mr. Speaker, entrepreneurs are an integral part of our community. They invest their time and money by producing goods and services on which people in Ontario rely on. Their innovations are contributing to the advancements in every sector across our province. They're also using their innovations for social goods to address environmental challenges and to help develop communities across Ontario. Entrepreneurs are drivers of economic development. Through their dedication and hard work, they create new business, jobs and the conditions necessary for Ontario to prosper. Entrepreneurs are a vital part of our economy, and that is why our government, for the people, is working tirelessly to create an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive. Speaker, I would like to thank entrepreneurs for their hard work and let them know that we are here to support them and that Ontario is open for business. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member Statements, Member for Beaches East York. Thank you, Speaker. Yesterday was a profoundly moving Remembrance Day. I spent it in Beaches East York participating in a number of ceremonies, beginning with a parade down Queen Street to the Kew Beach Cenotaph. It was an extraordinary feeling to be standing with hundreds and hundreds of my neighbours to listen to the last post and to stand silently for two minutes. Not a dog barked, and there were many. Not a child whispered. You could have heard that proverbial pin drop. Baron Bing Legion, the naval club, Legion Branch 345. Every ceremony was jammed. Women shared stories and food and drink. There were prayers. There were tears. And at Branch 345, I met a beautiful group of cadets, first and second generation girls and boys from all over the world. The future of Canada in their diversity. A few of the girls were there in their cadet uniforms and smart white hijab. And then three of the Toronto Raptors showed up to present the branch with a raptor shirt with 345 on it. I wish you could have seen the looks of joy on the faces of the cadets as they lined up for photos and autographs. We all took turns ringing the Legion bells a hundred times for the hundred years since armistice. It's an important learning moment for all of us. What happens when we create meaningfully inclusive spaces? The optimism that we can create a peaceful world in which all of us live together in harmony was palpable in that moment and in that place. And it was bomb at the end of an emotional day. Thank you. Member statements? Member for Ottawa, Vanie. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In November, it is the month for prevention of violence against women, a strategy that was focused on supporting survivors and ending the cycle of violence. With the Me Too movement, we know that a ripe crisis centers across the province are overstretched. In the first 11 weeks of 2018, there were 15 deaths of women due to intimate violence.  However, we are still waiting to hear the government's decision as to the funding for rape crisis center. The Attorney General has said that she is reviewing the services to make sure that they are done in an effective and efficient way. But the center had just been evaluated last year. Frontline workers just cannot keep up with the work. They need extra funding. They need at least certainty about where their funding will come from. So Moisil, it's absolutely mine. This month, it is absolutely important that the government accepts its responsibilities of governing and stop blaming other people. And this government has to recognize that we need to act and react to violence against women. It's urgent. It's a crisis that touches all of us. And I think the government will act very quickly. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The member for Mississauga East Cooksville. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Over the constituency week, I had the opportunity to participate in a great show of solidarity that brought together Canadians of all faiths. Across Ontario and indeed across North America, people of all faiths participated in the ring of peace around synagogues on the first Shabbat following the shooting in Pittsburgh. I cannot think of a better way that we could have started Remembrance Week in Ontario than to celebrate the religious freedom that their sacrifice made possible. On Saturday, November 3rd, I stood shoulder to shoulder with fellow Muslims and dozens of others outside of a Jewish community centre in Mississauga. It was important for us to stand up to violence and intolerance and protect the freedom to worship, speak and pray. An attack on anyone's right to worship as they see fit is an attack on everyone's right to worship. The ring of peace was our way of standing up to violence, intolerance and hate. It was our way of demonstrating what Dr. King said, hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The member for Parkdale High Park. Thank you, Speaker. Now Magazine recently released their 2018 Readers' Choice Awards and I'd like to take the time today to recognize some of the amazing organizations and businesses in my writing of Parkdale High Park, the best in the city. For foodies out there, we have the best donuts at Glory Hole Donuts and the best sandwiches at La Cubana. It'll come as no surprise that High Park was chosen as the city's best park. The incredible Toronto Overdose Prevention Society was highlighted as one of the city's best social justice groups for their tireless activism during the opioid crisis. For your tax needs, stop by Parkdale Accounting on Queen West. Dandas West Animal Hospital was the most popular place for our furry friends and their parents. Car trouble, be sure to pop by Josie Candido's Master Mechanic High Park, where the quick and friendly team will get that trouble sorted. Also, their daily message board will leave you feeling inspired. No matter the event, Sweet Peas on Roncesville has plans to sort out all your floral needs. And finally, as it gets colder, here are some indoor entertainment ideas for all of you. For the best blues in the city, check out Hughes Room Life and the best independent films at the Review Cinema. I want to congratulate all of the winners and the many runners up as well and thank them for making our writing Parkdale High Park the exciting, dynamic and wonderful place it is. Thank you. Thank you. The member for Markham Stovill. It is with mixed emotions that I rise today to bring to the attention of the house a sad story from my writing. Many in this place may recall that earlier this year, 13 dead horses were discovered on a farm in my hometown of Stovill. Another 14 horses and a pony were found living in horrendous conditions, sick, neglected and dying. The horrific discovery was an example of animal cruelty and neglect at its very worst. Thankfully, the property owner discovered the abuse and neglect in time to rescue the remaining horses. Three people who are releasing the property have been charged with offenses by the OSPCA and are currently awaiting trial. Today, I am able to report to the house that there has been something of a positive development in this case. One of the rescued animals, a 22-year-old pony named Oreo has recovered to a point where she will soon be leaving her home at Forever Time Sanctuary in Stovill to do further rehabilitation at an equestrian center in Florida. Forever Time Sanctuary has played a crucial role in helping to rescue the surviving horses and I thank them. This announcement is bittersweet when Oreo was found she was so neglected that her untrimmed hooves curled up and around making it painful to stand. Oreo will continue to suffer permanent health problems because of her horrific cruel treatment but following her rehabilitation in Florida she will join a Canadian family in Wellington. While I'm happy to see a positive outcome for this heartbreaking case I look forward to seeing the parties responsible for this prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I have full confidence that our Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, our Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and local authorities will continue to work together to ensure the highest animal safety and welfare standards are enforced. Member statements? The Member for Whitby. Thank you Speaker. I'm pleased today to speak about my fellow Whitby Rotarian Joanne Ashley. Joanne is the second person to receive the prestigious Dr. Bob Scott Disease Prevention Award for her years of work educating and helping those suffering and impacted by HIV AIDS. The first recipient Speaker was Bill Gates for his work in fighting polio worldwide. The award speaker recognizes people who have made significant contributions to disease prevention and to the health of all peoples worldwide. When her brother died of AIDS in 1991 Joanne did what many people did then. She refused to tell anyone, afraid of the stigma that would befall her family. Five years later she told her story to her Rotary Club in Whitby. And her mission to educate began in earnest. In the years since it has not abated, it has grown. Speaker Joanne's energy remains unabounded as she now turns her focus to advocating for First Nations people with AIDS. Service above self Speaker, the world needs more Joanne Ashley's Speaker. Congratulations Joanne. Thank you. That concludes our time for member statements this afternoon.


Hello, how are you guys doing today? Wow, so many phones. Yeah, and so I'll ask you the same question that I asked Grady just to kind of hear your reaction. You know, it's been a couple years since the Falcons have really been in this position this late in the season. Now, Boye, you're taking nothing away from yes, you motivated for every game, but how much more motivated are you to know that this deep in the season this team still has a chance to get to the postseason? A lot of people put it into perspective for me. You know, I'm still younger, earlier in my career than some of the other guys in the building, but really never know when you're going to get this chance again. So a lot of guys have been, you know, playing on teams at NFL and really have never been in this position. So really got to take advantage of any time you can make the playoff, any time you can smell that playoff berth because you never know what could happen in a playoff. So when you get in this window of opportunity, we definitely got to take advantage of it. So that just makes it, you know, every more important every practice out here that we can't let it slip away. So that's how we're playing, how we're practicing that this is really important game coming up. Any thoughts on being second in the league and tapping there? You know, it's ups and downs, you know, a lot of, depending on who you ask, I enjoy it because I feel like I'm being productive for my team and I'm getting a, you know, a lot of times I'm making the extra effort getting to the ball, making tactics. Obviously, I want to make more plays on the ball, but in terms of sometimes how I'm playing, I feel like I'm playing good, but some people will tell you that, you know, it's not a great step. But, you know, depending on who you ask, I feel like it's an uplifting thing for me, but it's always better, more I can do, better plays I can do, better run fits I can do. Just helping my team win. So, yeah, just trying to win, man. That's all. One more time. The last game we played them was physical. They definitely wanted to make a point to run the ball on us. So kind of with Cam back there, they got another running element. And I think we have a lot to prove on, you know, getting off the field. If they do want to try to run it on us, making sure they can't do that, so we can get the ball back to our offense to have them, you know, put as many points on the board as possible. It's going to definitely be a physical game like last time, and they came on the winning end of it. So we're going to try to win this one. We're talking to Dixit. We said so we fully, is that kind of how you look at it?  So I'm expecting to run. I'm expecting, you know, some tempo or whatever, you know, make them do what they didn't do on us last time. So make sure you stop them. Thank you.
