All right, I am live and we have Ray in here so I was funny cuz you know I was just talking to Ray or you're Cindy from YT VoIP because I have some stuff I want to talk to Ray about I've been busy building a new studio I've been doing all kinds of fun stuff, but uh, let's see what do we have here? Someone oh someone's driving from the UP to Lansing so cool Getting ready for vacation afternoon MacTelcom networks, but uh, yeah the So many things going on and actually here. I'll share I'll share the pictures. I was sharing with Well, can I share all these hold on? I gotta make sure there's nothing in here personal And I'm just gonna share the whole screen at that point This part isn't personal Can drag this over Let's see we'll go and say To share I gotta get faster at this I gotta get to where Ray's at where he just has someone doing this part forum, right? Uh, yes, I'm doing Google photos for this one. I'll talk about Synology photos at least a little bit It's a better way to make this There we go That makes it more. Oh, I should rebrand this hold on. I forgot to switch this. I Just one of those days, you know just got a lot of stuff going on. Yes. I'm working on a Synology video That's what those photos are for in videos but the new studio has lighting in it now so I Finished the electrical. That's why there's electrical on the floor. That's uh, we did smart things like put Double-gain plugs in where this is where Tom's desk is going and I don't want extension cords. So we just used a bunch of Double-gain plugs, let me bring the mic closer to me probably sound better. There we go. Ah so Watch today is time cuts the stream short so you can get home to watch Discovery and no I am cutting stream short because I have somewhere to be and somewhere to go I have an event to go to today a physical in-person event that I'm going to But yeah, the the studio it looks way cooler with the RGB lighting, but it's not terrible without it So it's kind of built. That's a lot more things getting built here.  I'm excited about it Running electrical and running wires and oh the drywalls here. So I got to put all the drywall up. So Oh that's So many things. Oh Star Trek discovery. I was thinking Discovery Channel. I was really confused. Um, yeah, I'll watch a Discovery I do like Discovery. I'll watch that later. You know probably um, I'll figure out how to acquire it from wherever But uh, nonetheless, one of my goals of having all this is By the way, if you didn't so you're I was laughing about this.  I know but I Just want window not windows Hey, you can see my sad rack that has wires everywhere because we know the rack doesn't live here because this is actually the bathroom So the rack is gonna end up Elsewhere so we put giant service loops when I ran all the wire. So that's going to be There plus we have some plans of how to conduct the electrical this will be my bathroom For down here. This will allow me to do everything and do late-night streams and things like that. So Yes, they kind of do look like windows 11 I Gotta figure out all the decorating I'm doing down here. There's a lot of things I'm I'm trying to narrow it down So I don't buy it all at once and just turn it into a crazy thing But I have an idea that I might do a little bit of I'm not a big nostalgia person But I might just might find a TRS 80 because it is one of the first computers I had and have it on display in there I want to make like a wall box for it that way. I don't care if it works or something I just kind of think they're novel and have a couple things on there. I don't know I don't I'm not exactly sure. I will have a lot of my 2600 stuff that I'll probably put in there So that'll be on the list The Synology videos that are coming though. This is Probably this video this is the I Some of the b-roll I was shooting I sometimes just shoot it with my phone because it's easier But yeah pretty Nice to weigh this this video will be out soon There's also something that I know people complain about with Synology the drive requirements So that is what it is I'll be discussing some of that and some of the issues with and things like that Do you Amcrest cameras do smart processing on the camera itself? Yes, they do the One thing about the Someone recognized Ray, you know, yeah, Ray's got to get a new picture He's got he's got such a nice beard now and he doesn't have it in his profile picture And so if you don't know who Ray Ray OIT Voight me and him did a few videos together I've been on tech bar with him We ate some spicy foods and regretted it Because they were so hot check out OIT Voight in their YouTube channel the tech bar. It's a fun time Their live streams go way longer than mine. So definitely a lot of fun Easy enough to check those guys out and subscribe to them Nonetheless the the questions about the cameras. Let me see if I can pull one up I think I can actually log into them from here. I'm gonna do a video on the cameras. I have a few Yeah, I it's just not you without the beard Ray. I mean What are we gonna do? So let's pull up the cameras and Pull up the which one's it gonna be my garage driveway one was the IP address to that so one second And I'll share the screen since I pull it up actually Let me make it bigger If I do it as a tab there we go Give you a little better review and I think So you're doing these this is something I'm gonna cover in a dedicated video is going to be How the event detection works for video there's some nuance to getting this set up properly So I'm gonna yeah, that's I I'm gonna I have all these cameras that are mounted I bought the cameras again, and I'm gonna have them all on the table doing a review so I can kind of explain these different functions and these different features how the smart plan works how the If you set up IVS in here There's a lot of little details into how you do that that's maybe not immediately clear or certainly wasn't to me So I'm assuming other people have questions around it. So I'm probably gonna have to do a video I'm explaining how the Amcrest cameras work with the What do you call it? So we go ahead and switch over for example to my front porch camera Let me go back over to set up here You can see it's the same interface. So it's interesting how this works. This one's got a slightly different feature set So you can set these and you have to draw the rule areas. You see how you can see the rule area there rule area for abandoned or missing object and They there's a little nuance to the way all this works. So They're but they work really well. I mean one thing is crazy is just how good the quality is on these um, I Have let me find it real quick. I can share it a matter of fact. I wonder if I can share it in here How are we playing with that? Let me find it and I think I can just upload it as a video here last time that crashed dream You're though. Hmm. Should I do that again? Let's see The camera the amcrest can do h2 4k In both 264 265 I believe Yeah, they're They're really inexpensive and they work well Assume I'm gonna make sure context on there One thing I'll comment on and I don't know a lot about this um The we have people contact us for support on blue iris about it just not doing well I don't know But anytime we've seen it and we've never deployed well be deployed at once years ago We helped someone with a deployment like five years ago with one The problem I've run into and people contact us and we just don't we tell them we can't help them They have blue iris and we just had someone who insisted and they paid us we couldn't solve the problem Once they had a quantity of cameras and I I'm thinking that quantity was like 30 cameras on there Blue iris kept choking on them a lot and pausing The machine was absolutely not out of memory They had a really really fast machine and we just couldn't couldn't find a reason why so I blue iris seems to be a little bit flaky But that's based on people asking me. I don't know what the setting is they need to configure They usually tell me they've exhausted forums and contacting people blah blah blah I don't really know i'm not a big fan of blue iris, especially because it has to run on windows so yeah It's just We've been really we do a lot of synology systems because they work so well I talked about my surveillance system system last time and it's just one of those things it works so well It's hard to argue with The reliability of it and we're talking people with like a substantial number of What do you call it? Cameras and things like that. So We've sent this as a demo someone asked about the 2k cameras versus the 4k cameras. So let me actually stop Share a video. This is a smaller video. Hopefully it won't crash stream yard but Yeah, the quality on these I don't know how it's going to be destroyed in the live stream upload here uh, but overall the Quality we get out of these cameras is really good This is going to be a little bit hard for me to articulate on youtube when I do these videos I'm going to build a special download link So you can actually download the raw video and You see the quality for yourself because the problem is all the compression that goes on this video. I already know looks better when it's When it's uncompressed or not on youtube or anything like that I I know once you upload it especially to a live stream It's going to condense it to a much different bit rate. So uh, the answer is don't even try to use any of the cameras They unify cameras with synology. They don't work well Um, and I really really doubt any of the detection systems that work at all Is it amcrest using the same hardware as the do it? Well, probably there's Once you start getting into any of these cameras They slap 20 different names on the same product with a slightly different firmware And I only think the firmware is different. I think it changes the logo like the only firmware difference between some of the models is just You know That's about it. You're you're just going to get that so nonetheless, um Yeah, I wouldn't trust that the amcrest cameras I like the amcrest because I can find their model numbers and names and have a website But you could probably and in hikvisions like this too hikvision is the commercial branded one But when you get away from hikvision Or not well away from them when you start looking for some of the hikvision stuff You'll actually find other companies that have the same name Or they'll say hikvision compatible and they see appear to be the same Camera like you can't tell the difference between the hikvision and their version.  There's just it's they see this is the part that people don't always Take the time to really read into China works differently than us will is if that's not a really obvious statement more specifically how they work differently is the nature of them we think of things in very siloed In companies here in america So we have an american company and we make this widget and we keep the making of our widget very secret from all of our Competitors because we don't want our competitors to know how we make the widget So we make the widget like this china works a lot differently. They're very much They share all ideas together constantly because they see themselves as a global team selling to the united states So they look at competitor as someone's selling against them not someone else from china's selling There's a lot more cooperation Inside of there. So you end up with products that have lots of the same name Weird side note. I learned a lot about this from buying chinese scooters I got into doing them and it was very interesting how you could just they would use the same part number But have a different name So you'd have all these different manufacturers But as long as you knew the engine was one of the I think it was a g y6 engines You knew you could get parts compatible with the g y6 motors Because they were all the same even though they had 10 different brands you could find it under it was always the same And I learned it's like, yeah, it just comes out of different areas The brand is more just like the different plant, but they all share designs. So Um Yeah, sometime i'll do uh I'll bring chris titus on i like chris. He's a nice guy. I've talked i mean chris have talked a few times chris titus is definitely a nice person so Uh, what else do we have in here? You know, this is one of those things and I've told people this is people Uh, well, we actually were we're just putting together a customer quote and they asked I seen someone else talked about Uh band and use some public bids in poland so The problem is their band. I can't remember the name. Is it mpaa? The there's a there's a ruling anyways on these that you can't use these But like this person right here said like mike said always vlan off those cheap devices They don't need internet access. So I don't There's there's not access is like one of the only competitors The difference for the same camera and we we gave a personal quote on this the other day. They didn't Have a government bid requirement. They just wanted to not buy The chinese cameras is what they put they wanted the other one. So we sold them. No problem You can get access the same access camera I can get this the one from amcrest with a 4x optical zoom for 200 something dollars, right? That's per camera roughly. I think the msrp and i'm is like 249 or 259 something under 300 dollars The msrp on the access camera was 1700 dollars a camera. They needed 100 cameras. So That adds up really quick. It comes down to I think access makes an amazing solid really well-built product But does that fit your budget? That's really what it's going to come down to and that's what keeps these cameras going is whether or not they'll fit your budget Is I mean no problem. You're talking about spending 1200 more dollars per camera over x amount of cameras Is that something you can afford? Is it within the budget for the project? Cool. Go with the access cameras I mean you're supporting a good company. Uh, they do all their I think access does a lot of design and development here I'm not positive. Um, but I know they're not on the band list. So yeah Oh, let's see Would you happen to have any tips regarding getting quickbooks desktop enterprise? To run in a server in the cloud while allowing remote production access I've heard rdp is not. Yeah, don't use rdp. So you can do it with a vpn By the way, it's this is a short-lived thing Quickbooks is already kind of setting the precedents. Um in some areas they plan to start getting rid of everything and only selling online. So I don't know how much longer they're going to keep supporting The desktop version at all Uh, that's not the same then again look at the car industry doing the same thing in the u.s Of models from ford link and mercury. No, uh, link and mercury are divisions of ford. So it's not Um, what the way it works in the auto industry That's actually or a lot of my bases. I have grown up in the auto industry It's what lives and breeze here in detroit in the auto industry Um, when they do acquisitions such as gm owns chevy ford owns link and ford owns mercury They refer to as a trim level difference So you would buy you're still buying the ford because ford owns them But people have such brand loyalty in the car industry. That's why you would buy so ford bought You know that brand but then it just becomes integrated into their product line They're not they don't keep them separate because it's an acquisition But then they have different trim packages You have the trim package you may get under the mercury branding versus one of the other ones So it's kind of like the if you look at the chevy Trucks versus the gmc trucks. They're part interchangeable with each other But they have different accessory options you can get when you buy them that way. That's because You know gm acquired chevy sometime. I don't remember when sometime in the past. So It's not really the same as the camera companies Then again, if you look at china as a single entity as if it was a business Then yes, I guess it would be the same because you know china has all these businesses But they're not independent businesses. So there are similarities. I guess you could draw Yeah, uh Let's see. What else do we have in here? Yes, they've announced it in the uk us will still have the next release, but That's the thing how long until they kill it the writing's on the wall They're going to be selling everything as a what do you call it? So There it's a matter of time before it's cloud only simple as that Uh, let's see Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to who and others are all connected quote. It's just the way it were matter of fact something you may not be familiar with if you we have a manufacturing company that has a um division for well, they don't have it anymore But they had a division in china china assigned you like a business partner or whatever that means But it's a government assigned business partner who works with you there But that business partner also will have their hands in other businesses. They they're not they don't work in the same uh Functional way that we do here. It's a lot different. So I think it's less that sass is the future sass is Just a business model that works.  Uh, it's built on really old garbage legacy code piled on and piled on for years No one's ever taken the time to refactor the code That's why they're building it in the cloud because no one wants to support desktop apps The reality is the future is not as much in the desktop app market. It's more delivering things as a web enabled service Also as a side effect of that.  Uh, I will I never use cubie desktop. We've actually been using kmi money for I don't know over 10 years. I think Um And of course we use the invoice engine as well Yeah, we're still using invoice engine. It's it's what works Uh, yes, if you're getting an accountant that's getting senile and doesn't know how to switch to multi-user mode time to get a new accountant I'll throw that out there Huh Remove what else are we gonna talk about? Yeah, I'm gonna do a deep dive on some of the surveillance station stuff, especially the cameras I have a variety of cameras here. We bought like I said a handful of them So I'll be covering the cameras physically showing them that way people can make some intelligent decisions on those I already know I currently I'm gonna have to address at the beginning of the video What about my favorite camera? Look, I don't have time to order every camera under the sun We tried some of the rio links in the past. We had some random failures with rio link We found that the amcrest ones have the least amount of failures doing plenty of reading online We found that the well the hick vision two are pretty good But I actually comparatively speaking we found the amcrest reliable good product availability Good product variety works with sonology sold. That's why we keep selling somebody those we still sell a lot of We still sell a lot of the unify systems, but the unify ones are just I I'm gonna have to make a list on we actually have a little bit of information We're gonna be able to sit together on this Brett has a list now We contacted a bunch of vendors and we found out some of them are just not gonna get here And they're not gonna get here till we learned one of our orders that we already placed won't be here till March of 2022 that we placed in august of 2021 so Yeah, um Any good surveillance station alternatives for the true nas users? I'm not aware of anything good uh, there's stuff out there, but Nothing nothing in comparison to surveillance station Uh, that's the problem.  It's not at the same level. So um It yeah, I don't really Until there there's sonology surveillance station. There's a lot of other companies out there making different things, you know We we still do some well do quite a few exact vision systems. We just bought some more licensing for that But the licensing isn't perpetual on exact vision And that sometimes is enough to rule people out the fact that they keep redoing it I know some people really like we mentioned it early and the thing is like, uh the blue iris so Yeah, um, there's other things out there, but none of them are In blue iris ones in windows. So it doesn't serve your true nas problem at all. I don't know uh I've never run xp analogy. So I have no idea a surveillance station will run in it I am extremely doubtful that it will because I believe it's a licensed feature When I say licensed as in comes with the sonology, but can't be run independent of the sonology How are you coming along with your testing at true nas scale? I dropped it for a while as I got busy I just having a time to test it So I haven't really done any true nas scale testing. It's I know it's coming along I know other people are testing it. Uh, we loaded the system with it I reverted it back when I had a problem of performance and I just didn't move back Someone said the nightlies are better But I just haven't had time to run the nightlies. It's kind of like I said, I might to-do list so Definitely not on my done list. Um, I have too many other things I have to finish I have to finish the review of as I got to return it. I have a demo unit from sonology a rack station. Those are some of the Um, what model is that it's the I'm gonna pull it up and talk about it a little bit, but I'm doing a review on this. I've already done all the benchmarks and everything else I just got to cover some of the hardware on it Soon as I find it there it is share screen chrome tab So I'll be reviewing this right here Hey, Grayson. Thank you very much for the donation head of information technology for my entire family. That is a job Ah, yes, that's a job for sure Oh, okay, cool Yes, that's I got one of each. I got a dome and a bullet from them so I can show the differences There's just there's different advantages for both. So I do have uh, both of them for the camera reviews But yeah, this is the one i'm Reviewing right now. I have a 25 gig card in it. So that's what I'll be reviewing it with is a 25 gig card but yeah, that's It's it's really nice. I really like this system. It works well. This is the part everyone's going to be mad about Works best with Synology Drives. This is going to send people through the roof because It gives It's not that you can't use non-synology drives You just have to deal with an error message when you don't use Synology Drives that won't go away So I'll comment on that. Yeah It's a thing so I don't know I like I we You know Performance and everything else is really good on this. Everything else is good. The review is going to be positive It's just I don't the drive thing but I get completely while they're doing it So I'm going to have a little side note about them doing that um, so yeah Oh the unify 360 camera it's going to be interesting seeing what unify has um Where is I've been at the I have the new unify mvr. I've actually had it for a while. We've been using it um, it's actually what runs our cameras here is the new unify mvr. So The uh, it'll it'll be something I do in review. Uh So now so, uh, it's only the Synology requiring their drives is something So the reason I do it and I've talked about this before and we'll talk about it again. Uh dn digital Is this right here? Western digital caught bait and switching customers as slow ssds. This is a real challenge for anyone who's dealing with um hard drives from a performance standpoint where they switched them out and companies without uh Well, they have the comparisons Let's see New versus here But when you're trying to build a product with different, uh Drives and you have drive companies not Not following what they're supposed to or giving one thing for a demo and something different later Any of these companies when they want to provide something at a expected Rate of performance, they're going to have a real problem If companies switch out the drives to be something that they weren't so you kind of get I get where Synology's going like we'll do this not to mention Synology when you use their drives is, uh also If i'm not mistaken here let's see It's in hardware features Actually, we'll show it screen back so you can see what i'm seeing here There's a couple cool things you get on here I think Yeah purpose built so here's the different drives, but I believe the warranty on them is five years So you only find if they have the warranty in here This is one of the yeah five years So this is one of the things about that as well One they can do firmware updates if these drives need some type of firmware pushed to them The Synology knows which drives they are can push firmware. They're in the list second They come with a five-year warranty you get through Synology. So if you're buying a performance system to stick in your, uh, rack And you want all those performance features This is Synology catering to that enterprise enterprise market that enterprise market That's the things they want they want a five-year lifecycle on their device They want to guarantee for the next five years that it's going to work that it's not going to have problems And that if there is a problem including a drive failure We don't have to figure out where we bought the drive from we can just contact Synology top to bottom So that's it's not that they're trying to force this on everybody matter of fact They know the market of people and home users that are shucking drives I know I talked to Synology people all the time. They know that market. They're like, why would we stop that market? We want to be able to make the enterprise user happy We don't want to stop making the people happy that are the home users that are shucking random hard drives that they can find And putting them in these distations that they have at home. They they understand they're catering to both, uh, markets and Going through and certifying the drives makes sense to me from a business standpoint because that's what businesses ask for it They want to say want something that comes with it. We know we sell the ag systems as well They want guarantees. We sell, you know, SLA agreements and contracts with the large enterprise systems that we sell. So Uh, have you tried using the stream link for surveillance station for monitoring using issues for? I have not tested the difference between the 264 and 265 compression Honestly networks are so fast. It hasn't been an issue. Um, I don't I don't know. I mean, I don't Maybe it was a substantial difference. I haven't played with it much It's not my to-do list We bought a few more cameras that we have here at the office that literally are going to be dedicated to that purpose Matter of fact, we probably have I have one of them plugged in here. Let me see Yep, there's one in the office right now. So You can look at the 3d printer That's weird that that's backwards We must have the camera flipped Neat Amcrest That's weird that it's set to mirror. They were playing with the settings on it What else do we have in here? I'll give it about five more minutes before I got to run to my next thing I have to go to What brand 3d printer is that I have no idea I have No clue it's I did a video on 3d printers It's the one I did a video on that I had to bring miles in because I don't know anything about 3d printers I know that's a 3d printer. I know they print a lot of cool things. I don't know anything else I don't I don't I've not used it. I don't even know how to use a 3d printer. I do know As a company I own several of them Yes, uh dual extrusion and I know it has a laser thing on it So they were doing laser stuff with it, but yeah Enhance Does anyone recognize it's on the logo It's got this thing. We have a raspberry pi hooked up to it to send jobs. We had octopi set up I've not done videos on this because I don't know I have no idea I just know we print things on it lots of things. There's so many things that you printed I'm looking to see I think I have I have stuff up there around here here. I'll show you something cool I have a base for a unified camera. So when we do our testing this this is 3d printed as well Oh good perfect miles is in here lot max, uh shark sc 10 Sharks built properly So yes That's the one there's so many random things like in the office that get printed. I just know nothing about it. So Yeah, I just know this is cool because this got printed It's handy when you want to test a unified camera and you don't want it to roll around everywhere. So Uh, I did a video with jay from learnings tv where we talk about some rack mounted stuff We made a rack mounted raspberry pi with a 3d printer. We where the j doesn't have a 3d printer I printed that for him. So there's that Um, yeah, so A few more questions in here Miles knows how to tweak it. Maybe we got to do it me and miles to just do a dedicated 3d printer video Um, I don't know anything about it. He's really good at it. It's it's something he's taking the time to learn Well, that's a question too. Yeah, I think miles likes it. Um So we'll let him answer Because the ender three drives him nuts Let me I can just yell through the door. Let's just go get miles. He's on the other side of this door one second All right, he's typing back I've never used unraid so I say use true nas. I've never used unraid so Miles is typing Yeah, the dual extrusion makes it really I I just know from The whole how things Uh, what do you call it how everything works is with the dual extrusion watching how it creates these little things so These I can't wait. I want to call them They're the spots where it has to get rid of the one color before it goes to the next color There there's how little I know about 3d printers watching tom describe, uh, 3d printers Oh, well 3d prints something in the new office. I don't know what Yeah, dual extrusion for under 400 dollars. The pricing is really good on it. I do know that So the only thing tom ever knows is sometimes how much stuff costs, right? I've never paid for winrar Not not really Is true nas better for functionality? Probably not Um, but it depends what that functionality is you're looking for true nas is going to be way better in performance than unraid But unraid has more pass through options for people that want to do pass through hardware and things like that So yes Yeah, unraid's not It's not an unstable product or anything like that But yeah, it's not it's not going to perform like true nas. That's for sure Uh, it just doesn't it doesn't have the ability it's not designed for performance. It's really It's not designed for the commercial market. It's really designed more for the home user market for a lot of things It's not a bad product. It's just not something I have an interest in using That's the biggest thing is not having interest in using it because Like I see three times I don't have a use case for that and there's plenty of people who do videos on it So it's not like I there's some deficit on the internet of knowledge about unraid There's a few youtube channels that have spent a lot of time creating unraid videos. So No, it does not natively support zfs But I think they're working on something for it, but it doesn't have any native support for it But uh, yeah Unraid is bringing in support for zfs. Okay. I didn't I've heard they're doing it, but I don't really Not really sure I just know it's not it's not as performance oriented It's not really in the commercial markets at all Um, and you gotta remember I mean I do like the homelab show and things like that But one of my I have one foot in the enterprise market selling some of these large solutions So it's not that I'm only doing, uh You know just homelab stuff I do some of that too, but true nas is such a weird system because You know, we're installing 1.2 petabyte true nas systems for very very large customers Um with high data needs and we're also sometimes helping somebody set up their true nas that's a much smaller setup It's it works on both sides of it. So wait a bit there. All right. Is there any more final questions before we move? let's see Large customers oh, yeah Large as in they spend large amounts of money and buy things So hopefully uh, that makes sense Any other final questions? I'll give it two more minutes and then I'm out of here Hey, look, I just got a notice that my channel is going live I subscribed to myself for my personal channel so I can see what other people see They're right though. That's strange that youtube is delayed on sometimes sending out going live notices and whatever That's life. Any other final questions before I wrap this up. Look forward to doing some more videos I'll have that Synology video done soon. I will have um The uh What'd you call it videos about the cameras done soon and somewhere in between I'm getting my new studio done so, uh, I mentioned it at the Uh, what do you call it beginning of the video here? So if you want to scroll back to the beginning you can see some of the stuff I talked about with this new studio. I'm building. Yes, it's at my house I don't think I answered it in this one. I talked about last time But uh, I'm building it in a huge section of my basement that I wasn't using anyways And that way I can do more streams late at night and have lots of fun So thank you all for joining me. I have to run because I have a physical In-person event I have to go to so if that can be believed Weird seeing that going and seeing people at a physical location I like seeing them online most of the time But hey, sometimes I guess I gotta go I gotta leave behind this little desk here All right Thank you very much Oh, I always stream on and off Thanksgiving for those wondering Yeah, uh, assuming I think it's next week Thanksgiving. Is that why you said that? I don't know. I don't know when Thanksgiving. I don't think skipping falls on Thursdays So all right. Yeah matter. I I I hide I hide from everyone coming over my house I run so a lot of people want to come over my house. I just hide at the office for a while I do Thanksgiving morning streams.  All right. Thanks


Looking back on it, I think that my back trouble arose because I was in a sedentary occupation. And even though I was an athlete, as an amateur athlete and got lots of exercise, I spent too much trouble at the desk hunched over. Initially, when I would go on stage, I would forget my pain. But then it became so hard for me that even after it would take about 20-25 minutes to forget that I had this back pain, then later on it became so bad I could not even sit five minutes without pain. Well, I know that working at the computer isn't the way that I was doing it. It wasn't working for me because I was like, I bought a sit stand-up desk.  I bought a thing to put my monitor.  And through it all, I would, after 15 minutes, I would slump over because I was tired of whatever and end up with my body tired. And I actually literally didn't want to get up and sit at my desk. Not because my work is so hard, but because it was hard to sit at a desk. I know at first I thought I must be the only person who's having this. Like, there must be something wrong with me that I'm having back pain at this age. So I wasn't like discussing it openly with my friends or anything. It's not, it's definitely not something that like comes up in a day-to-day conversation even though it seems like it's something that's affecting a lot of people's day-to-day lives. So there's no question that we sit really poorly. This is pretty typical C-shaped spine. It begins very early in life. Like day one, coming home from the hospital, we put our babies in this kind of shape, car seat. And we're pretty much training them that that is sitting.  It's all, you could be dramatic and say we're training them to self-destruct. And then that shape gets carried into adulthood. And this is in all layers of society. And we have data that shows that we suffer from our sitting. Increased risk of metabolic syndrome. And you actually are going to increase your mortality. You're like, it causes death. So the media goes to town on this, you know, sitting kills and sitting as the new smoking and so on. So what are our solutions? You have to do something about this. And one of the solutions that we've come up with is standing desks. Many people think that they should never sit. It's evil and they are at standing desks. So there are problems with this too. So standing for extended periods of time causes increased hospitalization due to varicose veins. You have an increased risk of atherosclerosis. And there are also some things you can't do very well standing, like certain kinds of thought and certain kinds of fine motor skills. And there's research showing that after about a month, people at standing desks tend to return to sitting. So it doesn't work.  And then the way we try to fix it is by advising our kids, sit up straight, stand up straight. And we have buzzy toys that do pretty much the same thing.  Yeah. And that is a problem as well, because most people are switching out one kind of poor posture for another kind of poor posture. You know, the C-shaped relaxed and slumped posture is problematic, but so is the arched backwards. And that shows up in the data too. I was an invetret swayer and I was trained to sway by being a gymnast. Ta-da! You've all seen, you know, every final position, especially for the women's routines.  And so that's my MRI from a much less happy time, mid-20s. And you can see I had a very enormous herniation at L5S1 that started me on this journey. So people know that, you know, this kind of approach to posture doesn't work. And then you get articles like this. This is in a UK journal, like surprising new evidence that slouching is actually good for you. Right. So let's take stock of a few data points here. So the one thing to realize is that people have been sitting for a very, very long time for extended periods. People have been making baskets. They have been weaving cloths. And this takes hours of being seated. They prepare food. They meditate. Almost every meditation approach has a focus on seated meditation. And if you look at the data, hunter-gatherers do a lot of sitting. So this is a study, a recent study, the Hadza. And they put an accelerometer on the thigh and discovered that they are spending about the same amount of time in seated postures as modern Westerners, like nine plus minus one hour. So that's interesting. So I don't think it's sitting per se that is the problem. People have been sitting for a very, very long time for about the same amount of time. But they also get up and are vigorous. Like these same people spend like 150 minutes a day doing moderate to vigorous exercise. You know, they're digging up tubers and they're doing very vigorous walking and so on. And they also punctuate their movement. They're sitting with movement. They get up, they walk around. And the way they walk around is also very important and underappreciated for its nuance. So I'm going to invite everybody to stand up one more time. And this time we're not going to be doing samba, but we're going to be doing walking. And instead of going back with the leg like we did for samba, we're going to go front with the leg and we're going to land up in exactly the same position or more or less the same position. The front is going to be bent. The back leg is going to be straight. Your body is going to be roughly in line with the back leg. Your heel is going to be close to the ground. And we can exaggerate and say let's leave it on the ground. So here's this position for a stride. So I took this photograph in Orissa two and a half years ago. And now if you have space, step into the next stride and try to find the next stride. And many of you will notice, oh you're landing some other way and now you have to fix it. So this will be homework for all of you to practice hitting this position directly. And if you don't have space just do one step and then do the other step. So there are several things that need to happen here to replicate what she is doing that I consider to be a very important piece of sitting. We think of sitting, maybe we think of posture when sitting. But I believe that packaged in with sitting we need to look at how we're walking because the way she is doing it, she is stretching out, she's doing lots of things but she is, among other things, she is stretching out her psoas muscle, P-S-O-A-S. You people know about the psoas? So here it is. It starts in the front of your lumbar spine, bones, discs on the sides. And then it goes behind all your pelvic organs, it rides over your pelvic rim and it attaches to the inside of your femurs. So that's quite a trajectory. And when you walk the way that woman was walking, you are majorly stretching the psoas. Everyone see that? Yeah, this on the back leg. Because that point is taken far back and far away from its origin deep in here. So you're taking the insertion point far away from the origin. Now, if you don't do this well, and this is a lot to digest, don't oblige yourself to digest all of this in a few minutes, but if you don't watch it, if you have a short tight psoas from sitting all day, you are in danger and you don't have the habit of maintaining your torso shape, then you're in danger of arching your back with every step you take because this point of the psoas is being pulled away. This point is getting pulled on forward and it will tend to arch your back. And if you don't have the sensibility and the strength and the skill to hang on to the shape of your back, which is done with your internal obliques, way too much to digest, I know, but hang on to that. Now you are stretching your psoas. So with every step that woman was stretching her psoas by maintaining her torso and pulling away the insertion point of the psoas from the origin. If you don't do it the way she is doing it, then you might be walking like this. And I'm going to demonstrate what that does. So I have, in our company, we keep developing new ways to show people what's going on with their body. So I have, this is one of the things we developed in the last five years. So we got sensors on my back and it is talking to an iPhone app and it gives me a real time read of the shape of my back. So I'm facing this way and when I bend forward it's going to bend forward. When I bend back it's going to bend back. But this is hard to see so I'm going to let you see it here, which is easier. Okay, and so I've marked what I think is a pretty decent shape for me when I'm standing around there, okay? So I marked that and I could mark it again. I think this is good, approximately good. Let's say standing, target, good. Now to show you what's going on on the inside of me we're going to show you a simulation. So this is a picture of my spine simulation, okay? And the discs are looking pretty happy. Now if I take a big step and I don't anchor my rib cage, this is what happens, okay? Arch, arch, arch because I'm letting my back be pulled forward by a short tight psoas that happened from a lot of sitting without resetting the psoas if that makes sense. So what I need to do is hang on to my rib cage and walk in a way that preserves the shape of my spine. You get the idea. So that's part of the very, very important package that needs to be included in sitting. Other things are the shape of the back. Like this woman is going to spend quite some time quaffing her friend and the way she sits I'll describe the spine as a J. It's not an S, it's certainly not a C, it's not a melted into herself eye either. It's a J like a hockey stick, like a kind of modern J if you will. Yeah, will you go along with that? So you can stand up on this kind of chair like you have and like I have. If I sat back here halfway, it's not only not encouraging my pelvis to be in a good antiverted position, tipped position. It's actually working against me. It's kind of making me sit on my tail and if I sit on my tail and I relax, I'm going to be like this. And if I want to be upright, then I have to do this sit up straight stuff, which is no better.  And there's a way to do this. I won't go too much for now, but your feet can be shaped in such a way that it encourages your legs to externally rotate.  Now you can squat on the inside of your leg instead of running into your femurs. And now your pelvis can't go where it needs to go. And in this way, you can squat your way down to the lip of the chair right on the front, perched. If you went any further, you would fall off. And unless you have very flexible hamstrings and external hip rotators, I recommend legs angled down. So something like this could be legs out, could be one out, one under, something like that. Your bum is out behind. And if you succeed in finding the place that's just right, then it's really nice because now your upper body just relaxes. And stays upright. You no longer have to work to be upright, okay? And if we switch to my, I've marked on the iPad, I'm going to mark a sitting posture. So I've already marked an ideal, what I consider a target sitting posture. So let me work with that. A little different from when I'm standing. And I'm going to seat myself and I'm going to arrange. And good. Now I'm going to go to what I used to do. When you saw my MRI, this was me. Yeah? And you can see that's very different. So now all of these recordings can be marked in my account so I can see how I'm doing over time. And we can do research on it and so on. Also, it's nice with students. We like to show them why this makes a difference. So, you know, I can show them like, okay, oops, not what you want.  And then when you fix it, now the discs are happy. It's close to the target. So this is a target that teacher sets. And so you saw how my spine became much more J-y than it used to be. You remember my MRI? MRI, very curvy. Yeah?  Surgery, re-herniated disc, all of that kind of not fun stuff. So if you look at these people, they're doing the J-spine. It behind behind and the rest of them stack. And it can be for an extended period. This woman is preparing food. She'll be there a while. Very nice J-spine. So people back in the day, you don't even have to go that far back, understood this pelvic position and stacking of the back so that you don't have to fight to be upright. So here you have two Portuguese horsemen. They're both relaxed. They sit very differently. And so the key difference, so this guy's upright. This guy's slumped of course. Key difference. Easy way to see it is imagine they both have tails. Then where's this guy's imaginary tail?  So that is one way to remember.  And in the animal world that correlates with submission, depression, and it turns out to be similar in humans, not surprisingly perhaps. The other thing that's very helpful is to have furniture. If you're going to use furniture, you want it to be half decently designed. So for example here in this old Portuguese barge, you can see there's room for the bum. The behind is called a behind for a reason. When they coined this part, they knew where it went. And it's out back and it's not tucked like very many people are taught today. It's a very common bad direction in posture. When I designed my chair, I've only designed five things. And I had to get this part to be custom cast. It had to be the raw tie-in part, had to be custom made because all the commercial parts, it's called a back upright, come straight down. You just not generally recognize that a behind's behind needs some room. So if you're lucky, there's enough gap in here, often not. And if you have a kind of work chair, it's probably doing this. That's the conventional shape for this part. So another piece that I talked about is this external rotation of the legs. That is a really important piece of sitting. And things that destroy it are like fabric. Like umbrella strollers are such horrible implements, you know, because they do this. It's fabric. So if you're sitting on fabric, this is what's going to happen to the baby's legs or the toddler's legs. And you are training that kid to have internally rotated legs, and pronates the feet, which makes it hard for the pelvis to settle well. Yeah, it's kind of stuck now. And we continue this thing into mesh chairs. Very unfortunately, the manufacturer that won the cool race in office furniture has mesh chairs predominantly in. So you see that in every office. The chairs and now the adults are also being, you know, that tendency they had from childhood to internally rotate the legs is reinforced and adulthood in the offices with mesh. I really don't like mesh, not on the bottom and not on the back either. So, you know, like carrying, there's a lot of research showing that when kids are carried like this on the hip or on the back, hips form better. All kids are born with immature hip joints. So you organize their legs like this and now it's doing its thing in the background. That's me with my baby number three by baby number three, which by the way, I was only able to have baby number three because of all these things that I now teach because, you know, when I had my surgery and I had the repeat herniation, I was told not recommend no more kids. So I was very lucky to discover all these things in time to have baby number two and three, which will give me great pleasure. And a lot of you, I think, met baby number three, Monisha White, she came to Montana last year and presented and she now works with me. So there are other ways that, you know, would be nice to start a kid well with external rotation.  This is what they do in that phase in Africa. They mold them. You stuff the baby and you're pretty much teaching it how to have fantastic posture and you put them out of this and now they have fantastic posture. So I didn't know this for baby number one and two but she got this. This is baby number two. He and he got some things like that you want to have a pelvic antiversion and stack well. So rather than put them in some shape like this, you guard their J spine and that's Monisha. And you can see that, you know, they grew up together but she was held in this way and kind of molded and so it is habit for her. She doesn't have to think about it which is really, really nice and that's not that hard to do, you know, to inculcate good habits in little ones is not hard. You just need to know a few things but it's best to learn them in your own body than you can transfer them so much better. And it's never, never too late. We work with 100 year olds and we have, it's very, very effective to make these changes, to teach the pelvis where it goes, teach the rib cage where it goes, teach it how to hold on to it, the back shape when as needed against various stresses and tensions. So how does all of this help? What does the J spine help? One thing it helps is your discs, yeah? So this comes from a modern anatomy book. It's the standard S shape that is considered to be a normal shape for the human spine. I think it's the wrong paradigm. I think it's as wrong as saying that the earth was flat. You need to have a j... This comes from an older anatomy book published in 1911 and this is what I think is the correct paradigm and it makes sense in so many ways. Like all these discs in here are cylindrical. They're like little hockey pucks. So that's a nice fit. What are these cylindrical discs doing in this kind of shape? It makes no sense. Like at baseline they're already loaded? Why would... That's weird design, right? This disc in our species, the L5S1 disc, is wedge shaped, yeah? So when you have your behind-behind, when you have a pelvis that's anti-verted, now you got... I should stand this way. This is the front of the person. This is the back of the person. And now you got a nice wedge shaped home for your wedge shaped disc. That's a fit. Everyone's happy in there. Unlike my L5S1 disc previously when I was taught to tuck and so on and it was extremely unhappy as you saw. It herniated and that is not fun at all. There are lots of other features of this that just make way more sense than this. So it makes sense for the bones to be well stacked. Now you have weight bearing exercises, putting stress on the body of the bones that prevents osteoporosis. We like. It does not put weight on the edges of the vertebrae. That's a recipe for arthritic changes, hypertrophic lifting, all kinds of stenosis. You don't want that, yeah? There's no stress on the edges of the vertebrae. We like. Makes so much more sense. And I recommend you adopt this paradigm and keep it as a filter when you're judging exercises or furniture or your bed or your position. So what else does this do besides preserve the discs? It also allows your muscles to relax. This J spine, when you are well stacked, you can actually relax. It's for many people astonishing that they could be upright and be that comfortable, be that relaxed. So we actually measured using EMG sensors. And we used our spine tracker as well to look at different kinds of sitting. And this we did in conjunction with someone who does biofeedback. And he was very surprised. He could tell that the readings were so low on muscle activity in stacked sitting. So here are the results. So there's slump sitting, which, as you would expect, is very relaxed. The muscles are not tensing. They're not doing anything. The problem with it is what's happening in the discs. You have arch sitting. And now you've got a lot of activity in the erector spinae muscles here alongside the spine. This is not healthy. And then you have stacked sitting, which gives you the best of everything. There's not tension in the muscles. The discs are not loaded. Thumbs up. Very nice. Check, check. This is healthy for the discs. It's healthy for the muscles. It's a relaxed baseline. And here we have more data. All the positions that traps remain relaxed equally. We just happen to measure that, too. Here's another thing that is very cool about stacked sitting and all these other J-spine and so on, that it helps people with pain. And that is our main draw as a company. We are known for being a back pain intervention. And this is a crowdsourcing website reviewed by Stanford. And we actually, it's now 300 and some, and we're 4.4. We are by far the best rated intervention among 45 for lower back pain. So it helps pain. And I'm going to just let people speak for themselves. After getting to know Esther and getting instruction from her, I learned not to sit that way anymore. And I learned to stand and walk and sit in a way that was healthy for my back. And that was priceless. Right, like after my first lesson, I felt amazingly better and that was only like, oh, I just need to not tuck my hips so much and I need to keep my shoulders back and maybe my back should be a little bit straighter. Just the littlest things have huge, huge consequences. So I think that awareness is one thing that would be really cool to see everybody have. Last one. It's like, you know, I sometimes pinch myself and say, am I really without pain? Especially when I get up in the mornings, I have this stiff back and then even to move a little like this or like this was such a problem 10 days ago. And now I just get up and I do things. I do whatever I want. My back is not stiff. I cannot believe that has happened. I'll take questions. So thank you. It's very helpful. It's really helped me. I'd like to know, is this similar to Alexander technique? I have a lot of respect for Alexander technique. He was an actor. He used to lose his voice. Tremendous amount of intuition, looking in a mirror, discovered microtentions that were making his voice disappear just as he was going on stage. A bit of a problem for an actor. So fantastic work. It's entirely kinesthetic. What I like about our approach is that we use kinesthetic hands-on. We use visuals. We carry, it's a huge visual cortex. Why not put that to good use? And we got all this great matter around all day. Why not use that too? So it needs to feel right. It needs to look right. Make sense. And then change is much more rapid and efficient. And you have many more ways to hang on to it. And we keep evolving more ways, like with technology and reminders and all kinds of stuff. We'll take every arrow in the quiver. And what is your thought on bare shoes, like flat shoes, and sleeping not using pillow and the way one carried the head, like the neck tucking? So bare shoes. So, you know, flat shoes, I think it's very important to be barefoot for some of the time to give yourself a chance to do natural foot things. So I didn't introduce that here. That would have been way too much. But there's a thing that your foot needs to do with the ground. It's not made this complex to be used like a prosthesis, right? And so once you've learned what you need to do and you start strengthening the muscles then you can do more and more. Barefoot, yeah, healthily. But I don't like to start people, like throw them into the deep end of the pool and maybe they'll swim. You know, that's not my favorite approach. I like building it. I like people building their strength and so on. And the same with calf flexibility because that's the issue with the heel. If you've got short calves, and that's almost everybody, because we don't squat, because we don't leave our heel down long enough, and now you've got short calves, now you wear a negative heel or a flat heel, and now your short calves are making other distortions happen that could be worse than, you know, so it's very custom. It depends on your situation. What's your thought on the way this is a good direction for the head to go but there's much nuance in that, too. You know, there's a rotation, there's definitely a lengthening that almost everyone can use. There's also, you know, like, your head is like a car parked out in the driveway sometimes out on the street and it needs to back into its garage but it also needs to do a few other things. I have a question over here, too. Over here. Sorry. Can you talk about cars? A lot of times in cars. How do you put this into practice in a car? You know, my stretch-sit cushion was originally made in cars. You don't want to be stacked sitting up front. Absolutely not. That you risk your life. Yeah? That's the most important thing to protect. So I have this... Car seats are made really badly. I made the stretch-sit cushion to provide traction. So especially when you're driving in their bumps and jogs. So some cars are so bad with deep bolsters and with the headrest that does this to you that you need like extra layer. So sometimes a car is a two-layer. I put my jacket behind. But I like to get traction as I sit. And there are videos on YouTube on our website about this. And if anyone wants to talk to me at the book signing, talk to me and I'll send you other resources. Are there recommended sleeping positions that you recommend? Sleeping position. You don't need to make a big who-how about the mattress. Like nobody needs to spend 10K on or Europeans this, that and the other. What you need to learn is what to do in your body. And the most important characteristic is ad length.  And it's not hard. So page 59 of my book.  You put one piece, then the next piece, then the next piece. Pillow needs to go here, need to lengthen. It's all in photographs, step by step guide. So ad length is the most important. And then the next thing nice to have is shape as well. And that gets more complex. Which is why we do most of this in small group courses, hands on.  It's the back we want to lengthen, it's the front and they'll start and then they'll start, you know, they'll go back to their habit of sticking out their chest. It's really strongly ingrained in us. It used to be in me. Well, my question is if your method changes at all or the efforts change at all and someone has like ligamentous laxity or L. O. Stano syndrome or hypermobility, if there's a lot of looseness in all the joints, I feel like I have to work so much harder to... Totally. I've worked with a lot of people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and so then the emphasis, you know, there are many pieces to this. There's strength, there's length, there's reshaping, remodeling, and there's an order in which you want to do these things. You don't start, if you're making a pot, you don't start by kind of shaping it. You first massage the clay and make it all warmed up and amenable to shaping. Similarly with the body, you need to do things in order. You need to lengthen first to make it safe to remodel. Now with someone with Ehlers-Danlos, for example, you would do much more emphasis on strengthening before you started remodeling so that you have a good pack of muscle around whatever joint you are, you know, considering changing things for. Okay. Hello. Could you comment? Could you comment on the lag positions and the feet? Can you comment on the leg and feet positioning and how that acts as a counterbalance? The leg and foot position? Yeah, the leg and foot position because it seems to make a difference on how easy it is to stack it.  And that, I like to begin that process in the foot. The foot is very... it's one lever and you affect everything on up, like the whole lower quarter of your body, think Barbie doll, all the way up into here. So, you are influencing every joint in the foot, knee, hip, SI joint. Yeah. So, that's how I like to start. Now, there are so many other things. You know, the foot is made to grab the ground in certain ways. It's made to, once you've grabbed, you know, there are other things to do with the foot. There's a lot. It's of complexity that people in a hunter-gatherer society would just get by mimicking and from the way they were held. And, but, you know, it's kind of fun to learn because it's a lovely mix of museum art pieces that inspire you and uplift you and nice feelings in your body that you haven't had in a few decades. So, the journey in all this complexity is very fun and textured. I have a question because about dynamic movements. So, for example, in dance, you're told to tuck in your pelvis and keep it in. So, how can we maintain balance? But how can we compensate for that when many teachers are teaching? So, it's only in modern dance. Modern dance then influenced ballet, modern ballet, yeah? If you look at classical ballet, if you look at the Ballerous and Diaghilev and all of these characters, they had exactly J. Spines and they were doing exactly what I'm describing. And it's only in very recent times that we have this notion that we should be tucking the pelvis and I do understand where it's coming from because if you're swaying, you know, tucking the pelvis can feel good because this muscle has been overused and is short and now you tuck and it gives it relief. But it's not a legit way to give that muscle relief. What I like to do instead is suppose you have a sway. This is what I used to do all the time. Instead of tucking the pelvis and now putting the hip joint into a really bad position and setting your neck up to go forward and doing all kinds of mischief in your L5S1 disc and so on. Instead, what we teach is don't tuck your pelvis, tuck your ribs, yeah? And now you got that J spine. Yeah, and you've left your behind out behind in a place where the bum can work, among other things. So you have to modify very, very possible.


What's going on everyone?
