The theme of the session was sort of building open or building communities, and so I'm going to give an overview of how we've been working with one of our communities, a spinal cord injury community, and how we've been working towards building, sort of, as Carol had talked about, a research commons for this community. And so again, it's a collaborative effort, really across four different labs when you break it down in terms of Mary Ann and myself, sort of, more on the informatics side, UCSF, University of Alberta, and then also Jessica Nielsen, who's moved from UCSF to University of Minnesota, are really in the domain and working with this data. And as Carol had a slide on the comments, I don't have to go over a lot of this really in detail, but really what we're trying to create is a shared space for these researchers to really work with their data in different contexts. And that means not just publishing a final data set, but maybe as they're collecting data with the graduate students in the lab running studies in animals and so collecting the data as this data comes in and really trying to create that common space. And how do we, as Carol said, sort of bring these fair principles into this community? Again, it's not forcing these things on the community, but really trying to figure out how to do it in the context of the work that they're doing. And so the commons that we've been putting together is the open data commons for spinal cord injury. We have now more than 40 labs signed up within this shared environment. There are a number of data sets that are in the space, and I'll explain a little bit about what that space is. And it's really focused around this concept of the lab, and so that was one of the first things in working with the community. How did they want to organize themselves in this commons? And how did they want to manage sort of the movement of data within the commons? And again, all of this was driven through discussions, and I'll talk about this in the second half, about how we went through the various sort of community engagement pieces to build out those commons. And the other thing was, well, how do you explain data sharing to the researcher? And this is, I think, Mary Ann came up with this, and this is one of the best analogies that we've seen in terms of data, comparing it to a restaurant. So when you get in your ingredients, that's sort of the private space. You have the back end where things show up on the loading dock, then things are in the prep kitchen, and you can see a little bit more of what's happening, and then when data becomes public, it goes out sort of into the dining room. So you have these different stages in terms of how the data flows. And what we've really been trying to do is focus, so on the left side there, you see sort of like an instructional screen with a couple options given to the researchers. So how do we guide the researchers through these flows of how you want them to contribute data so that their data ends up within the system? And then making sure that the actual data that you have access to grows. So what I'm showing here is that you'll see that on the bottom there, there's a data set that's private access. That means that I have access to it in my lab that I'm a member of. And you can actually be a member of multiple labs. So you can actually have data coming from multiple labs that you might be collaborating with. You'll see then that there's a green one, the public data set. So there are some public data sets that have come out, and I think the resolution is a little low, so it might be a little harder to see. And then the larger pull out are the yellow items. These are the ones that are shared within the commons. So these are the data sets that people have shared outside of their lab with sort of the researcher community. And so these are the ones that are not completely public, but shared within the commons researchers that are part of the system. And one of the pieces that we've been trying to pull together is how do you actually put into place methods to actually do some of, for example, the alignment of data elements. And how do you make that something that's intuitive for a researcher to do in terms of one of the big goals of projects like these, when we're talking about interoperability and reusability, is that when one describes age or when one describes an outcome measure, that if someone's describing the same outcome measure, that these data sets can be pooled across research labs. And that's just a process that is not very fun to do. But how can we embed that sort of in the process of this workflow? And so what we've been doing, we've been tying this to some of the systems we have so we can sort of have community input into the data elements that are described. People can assign those and then actually, and this is actually a focus of the next phase of the project that's just begun in terms of trying to make these workflows more intuitive, hopefully a little engaging for researchers so that these actually happen. The last part is sort of the data publication piece. So once the data set is published through the system, it gets its DOI. We have the schema.org metadata, which you see on the bottom right. So trying to make sure that the data set is meeting some of the basic principles that we've been talking about. But all this is sort of built upon a number of efforts with community building. And so we've been very fortunate that we've worked with these other labs, UCSF University of Alberta, University of Minnesota that have been very engaging and also engage well with the broader community. So we've had very good interactions with sort of the broader spinal cord injury community. And again, spinal cord injury community is large, but it's not too large. It's a decent size. And back in 2016, when this project first was starting up, there was actually a workshop, an initial community workshop that was put together with funding from NIH and also some private foundations to bring together the researchers and the funding agencies to discuss what this open data commons might look like and really talk to the researchers about the possibilities but also really get their input as what they want and what they would use to really sort of set the stage for sort of the initial prototype development that was sort of funded in this period. And there was actually a paper written sort of about the workshop. So Calhanna et al. in 2017. And they did a couple assessments of the participants. And again, most of them were from the spinal cord injury preclinical world. There were other clinical researchers there, bioinformaticians, non-governmental funders and governmental funders. So it was a good mix of people who were attending. And then looking sort of at the community profile, how do people share data? And really, it was sharing sort of within the laboratory, within the local environment. So those are those first four bars. That's sort of where the majority of the sharing was, but not with the broader community. And what were they actually using in terms of managing their data? And it was paper and spreadsheets. So this is sort of the community that in terms of what we had to, as Carol said, giving tools that the researchers won't use is not going to work. So how do we work with the paper, the spreadsheets that they were using to develop that system? This initial meeting led to sort of some initial developments of alpha releases and things that we would test internally, again with the internal groups that we were working with. And then we went sort of to the American Spinal Injury Association in 2017. And again, tried to sort of get some feedback from the community, but really to start providing some information about what fair was to the broader community and provide information on what the system was going to be like. And then also that ended up also being a way to sort of recruit individuals, for example, to the steering committee, people that were interested in contributing to sort of guidance in terms of what we were developing. Now one of the sort of critical pieces for any sort of project to I think move forward in many instances is that you have at least one or two success stories that you can point out what the benefit is of data sharing. And many communities have these, and it's important to highlight these. So one of the ones from the spinal cord injury work was Jessica had done some data analysis across a number of data sets. And getting these data sets together was actually a huge amount of work because she had to deal with all the spreadsheets, all the paper. She termed it dumpster diving, right? You'd go to a lab to collect their data and they'd throw you a box of papers and spreadsheets and disks and she had to take that and put and collate it into something that was usable to do this analysis. And so out of this analysis, there's actually something that was really interesting that came out and looked at sort of what is the effect of hypertension in terms of predicting long-term recovery from spinal cord injury based on the findings across a number of different studies. And then this has moved on now to further studies looking at this. But again, this is one sort of example of how pooling together data, sort of the community coming together can actually provide insights that haven't been found before.  So, you know, following on from sort of some of the initial meetings, you know, one of the things that was instituted was the steering committee.  And we'd sort of use them also as a sounding board for policies and procedures. So how does one work with the community? What are the guidelines?   And so the Ferris Sky ahead meeting that was held at SFN in 2017 was really a stakeholder meeting for the project. It was a pre-meeting at SFN and, you know, it was really something where we sort of provided progress, again, to funders and to steering committee members that were there. And it was really, you know, a place to talk about, you know, some of the things in terms of also how do we move forward?  And to sort of help us or help guide us into, you know, defining sort of what the future roadmap for the project would look like. And, you know, building on that roadmap, you know, the next year, we actually had the first of what we were calling a datathon at SFN. And so this was an activity that was held at SFN, but we've also held a number of these activities at smaller meetings, at some of the other spinal cord injury meetings, and we've also had some of the postdocs who were working in some of the labs go out to other labs, you know, in terms of working with individual laboratories and how to use, you know, the system in terms of working with the data.  And so really, what we've been working through is sort of this, you know, interaction between, you know, what we're developing sort of in the context of, you know, the collaboration we have, you know, in terms of, you know, the participants who are developing the commons and engaging with the broader community. And the next phase of the project really is trying to build on that. And one of them is this community curation process. So again, one of the, you know, Carol, I think she had like the little magic wand when it went from the lab to the repository, right, that some magic happens and, you know, your data goes from the lab and ends up really nicely in a repository. And that is a lot of work and a lot of effort, but again, how can we start moving some of those tools, some of those processes into the work of, you know, basically working with your data in the system, you know, when you're initially doing this. So the first mile, you know, trying to get these procedures working earlier in the data collection process. And so developing a community curation process and also what does it mean to have data that's, you know, in the community and data that's public. So what is sort of the, you know, the review, you know, to publish data sets, you know, through the commons.  And again, you know, FAIR is very new to all communities that's out there. And so in this community, this is one of the things that we're trying to define, you know, what does that mean? You know, other things, integration of analytic tools, now that we have a base, you know, for people to get their data in, you know, tying them into some of the, you know, tools for, you know, large scale data analysis, machine learning across data sets is something that, you know, is seen as a way to engage, you know, different types of researchers within the system. And again, broadening out to, you know, a larger community, more outreach, more outreach, and more outreach. So I'm really trying to, again, build this in the context, you know, of the community.    And this is something that's critical to do. And it's not something that's very easy to put in, you know, your grant application. So we've gotten a lot of support from foundations and also some from NIH, you know, to hold these meetings, to host these meetings, so that we can bring people together and engage them in the development, you know, of this system. So again, you know, thank everyone. And thank you for listening. And, you know, I do have a demonstration table upstairs. So if anyone wants to stop by and chat, feel free to do so.


I've been driving for more than 40 years and it's never been a problem for me driving at night. Well, at least until a few years ago. Now, I seem to be having a harder time seeing things on the road after it gets dark. I can't understand it. Man, I just got my license. It's great. Me and my buddies all have cars. Sometimes on a Friday night, you can see it's just cruising the town. Well, maybe we go to our friend's house to just see what's up. I have a full-time job that's very demanding and two-year-old twins who are even more demanding so you can imagine I keep real busy. In fact, I probably have the dirtiest car on the road since I never have the time to wash it. I mean, I'm putting the kids in the van to take them to daycare even before the sun comes up. I could really use a rest. I usually get home late from work. I need to work off some stress. You know, get some exercise. So I try to go jogging, even if it is dark. I try and stay as close to the edge of the road as I can so I don't get hit by a car. Just about all of us have a driver's license, and every day we depend on our cars to get us where we need to go, whether to work, to a friend's house, to the shopping mall, or to a vacation spot in another state. But since driving is an everyday activity, we can sometimes take that privilege for granted. And unfortunately, we can also take safety for granted. However, if we do that, even for a moment, the unexpected can happen. A vital traffic control device along the roadway might be overlooked, which is something that could more easily happen while driving at night. So what's being done to help improve the potential visibility of traffic control devices at night? Well, quite a bit, but a lot still depends on drivers like you and me. As far as roadway safety is concerned, it's essential that we're alert, that we keep our vehicles in good working order, and that we appreciate the differences between driving at night and driving during the day. Through experience, most of us know that it's more difficult to see the road at night. But what's being done to help improve our ability to see traffic control devices during those hours? Well, it has to do with something that's called retro-reflectivity. Simply put, retro-reflectivity is a phenomenon in which light rays strike a surface and are then reflected back towards the direction of the light source. To a driver, this makes traffic safety devices appear to illuminate or glow. Federal, state, and local government agencies, working together with academia and the traffic safety services industry, are dedicated to developing and maintaining a safe, efficient roadway system for both daytime and nighttime driving. That's where retro-reflective technology comes in. It increases the effectiveness of a car's headlights, making road signs, pavement markings, and roadway safety devices more visible at night. So, what makes retro-reflectivity possible? Well, there are two basic technologies involved. The first type uses small glass beads. These tiny round spheres aren't much larger than a grain of salt. They're applied to materials that are used in manufacturing traffic safety devices, like white and yellow paints, thermoplastics, and epoxies, making them retro-reflective. These same beads are used in making retro-reflective sheeting that's applied to signs and roadway safety devices, as well as other items like safety vests. In essence, each glass bead works like a small directional mirror. Together with the material that's behind it, a bead turns incoming light around, reflecting it back to its source. The second basic technology that the traffic safety services industry uses is prismatic reflectors. These prismatic retro-reflective materials work somewhat differently from glass beads, as they redirect the light back to the source through multiple internal reflectors. Familiar types of roadway safety devices using prismatics include reflectors that are positioned on roadside markers and barriers, as well as the raised retro-reflective pavement markers that are increasingly being used on otherwise dark roadways. Prismatic retro-reflective materials consist of tiny cube-corner retro-reflective elements. Positioned on the face of signs and road channelizing devices, each element is a tiny corner cube that's open in the direction of the driver. When a headlight beam enters the cube, it bounces off each mirrored face of the cube-corner element, ultimately reflecting light back towards the driver's eyes. It makes roadway safety devices look as if they're glowing. But no matter how efficient this technology is, it can't be effective without something else, something that's extremely important, you, the driver. It seems like before I turned 60, I could spot things a lot easier at night. But now, whenever I'm driving after dark, it seems like I really have to work at it. I just know I need to get a lot closer to signs to see them. Years ago, I could see them pretty far away. As we grow older, our eyes increasingly need more light to see. By the age of 45, the average person needs four times as much light to see at night as a person at age 19. That's one of the reasons why the use of retro-reflective materials on roadway safety devices is so very important. Retro-reflectivity gives America's maturing population a better opportunity to drive safely at night. It does that by allowing them to see roadway signs, markings, and safety devices a lot sooner, and a lot better. But retro-reflectivity can only be effective if all drivers are as alert as possible. This means being careful with medications and getting adequate rest, in addition to making sure that their car's headlights are clean and properly aligned. Drivers, no matter what age, also need to realize that adverse weather can seriously affect their ability to drive safely at night. For example, if there's heavy fog, rain, or snow, the beams from a car's headlights can become scattered and produce glare, which limits vision. But this concern involves more than just diminished visibility. Consider that even light rain can reduce the retro-reflective properties of signs, markings, and roadway safety devices. Here's why. When rain, fog, or snow, the transmission of light to and from a retro-reflective device is greatly reduced or even totally eliminated. So during adverse weather, it's important to stay off the roads if possible. But in case doing that isn't practical, then you need to drive more slowly and cautiously. Also, make sure that your windshield wipers, lights, and defroster work properly. On Saturday nights when I go driving out with my friends, we have a great time. I mean, we're not getting in trouble or anything. We're just messing around. In a car, innocent horseplay can cause the driver to look away from the road at exactly the wrong time, missing something important, like a stop sign, even if it's clearly visible and made of retro-reflective material. Traveling too fast in relation to driving conditions can also have very severe consequences. That's because at night, or in adverse weather, a driver is almost totally dependent on the visibility that's provided by a car's headlights. Roadway lighting is a highly effective method for increasing nighttime visibility and for preventing accidents. But unfortunately, it's not practical to have it in place everywhere. That's why when driving on a dark road using only your headlights, it's important to concentrate on what you're doing. This demands that you use your car's high beams whenever possible, helping you to more easily see retro-reflective signs, markings, and roadway safety devices from a distance. I've got my two little kids in the car, so I'm a very careful driver. I wouldn't want anything to happen to them, or to me for that matter. So if it's raining really hard or something, I take it easy. Thinking about that, a good rainstorm would help clean off my dirty van. When it comes to driving on dark roads, a dirty vehicle isn't anything to joke about, and here's why. The dirt that accumulates on a car isn't just unsightly. It can actually cause an accident. No joke. The build-up of grime on your headlights allows less light to reach signs along the road, meaning that less light gets reflected back to you. While we're on the subject, in addition to keeping your car clean, it's essential that things like headlights, tail lights, and windshield wipers be in good working order. This means both headlights need to be functioning. If one burns out, it needs to be replaced as quickly as possible. And the same goes for your tail lights. Another point is that headlights must be properly aligned. In this way, their beams are focused exactly as they should be. Also, you should replace your car's windshield wipers periodically. That's so they don't wear down to the point of smearing your windshield instead of wiping it clean. When I go jogging at night, I try to wear light-colored clothing. That way I can be seen a lot easier. But I have to admit, there have been a few close calls. Jogging, riding a bike, or just taking a walk along a road, even one that's not heavily traveled by cars, should be done only during daylight hours. But if it's after dusk, it's important to wear more than just lightly-colored clothing. To be easily seen at night, a retro-reflective vest should be worn, like those used by crews in construction work zones along the highway. It's also advisable to wear a small, battery-operated flashing light. Both of these safety items are available through retail sporting goods stores. If you're riding a bike on a dark road, be sure it has a state-approved bicycle headlight. And in addition to the retro-reflective vest you should be wearing, your bike needs to have retro-reflective devices on its pedals, seat, and wheels. Only by taking these kinds of precautions will other drivers be able to see you from farther away, giving them more time to maneuver around you. Driving at night presents a number of hazards. But these can be reduced through a combined effort between federal, state, and local governments and the traffic safety services industry, in addition to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. On the part of government, this involves having effective maintenance programs in place, ones that are designed to systematically refurbish road signs, pavement markings, and roadway safety devices after they've reached the end of their useful lives. In terms of the traffic safety services industry, it means continuing the development of more effective and longer lasting retro-reflective materials. This kind of effort also encompasses developing, testing, and deploying newer and better retro-reflective devices, something that's an ongoing initiative of both government, academia, and industry. It's interesting to see how they're making road signs to help you see better at night. You know, I was wondering why they are so easy to spot, even though my eyesight is going a bit. I'm definitely going to be more careful about messing around when I'm in a car with my buddies. Guess where I'm headed right now, to the car wash. I'll tell you what, next time I go jogging at night, you'll see me in one of these retro-reflective suits. Operating a motor vehicle at night, especially in adverse weather, brings with it some very serious responsibilities. As a driver, you need to make sure that your vehicle is in good operating condition, that you're alert, and not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, that you're being cautious by reducing your speed, and that you're familiar with how retro-reflective signs, markings, and roadway safety devices can help. All of this is based on one common goal, to make America's roads safer for everyone. For information about how retro-reflectivity helps nighttime driving, contact the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, or ATSA, the American Traffic Safety Services Association.

As many of you know by now, Elizabeth Warren has sworn off high-dollar fundraisers with elites because she knows and she stated repeatedly that this has a very corrosive effect on politicians. It is a corrupting influence. So she has sworn off these types of high-dollar fundraisers, although swearing off these types of fundraisers comes with a really big caveat. Here's what she said during an interview with TYT. You mentioned earlier that you don't believe in unilateral disarmament. So does this only apply in the primaries or will you carry this over to the general election or any other election you'll have going forward? So this is for primaries. Look, I do not believe in unilateral disarmament. We need to win. We need to win in 2020. And when we hit 2020 and we're in a race against Donald Trump when we're in a race for control of the Senate and control of the House and in control of the State Houses and the Governor's Mansions, in all of those the Republicans are gonna be bringing a lot of money, a lot of power, a lot of dark money, a lot of super PACs all to the fight. We play with the same rules and in that one I say we gotta be all in. It's not just progressives who want to see the abandonment of big donors. Most voters are concerned about this issue. Are you at all worried that they would stay home during the general election if you pivot toward accepting that money? But I think that what we've got right now is we gotta show what we can build person to person to person to person across this country. I think we've gotta show what we can build through democracy, that we believe in democracy, that we have faith in democracy, that we can make democracy work. I think we can show that in our primary. I think then we can just be tough as nails and take on Donald Trump, take on the Republican senators and congressmen in the general election and then we gotta change the laws. So at the time when she initially said this, I made a video vocalizing my disappointment because it really doesn't make sense for you to do this. If you're the Democratic Party nominee, you're one of two candidates who will be elected. You are going to get free press and you don't need to raise money by being corrupted possibly by elites, by rich people. So why would you do that? Why would you allow elites to buy access to you essentially when you already are going to be able to effectively get the message out? I mean, think about this. Hillary Clinton outraised Donald Trump by a fairly large margin and she's still lost in the general election when all eyes are on you, you don't need big money to win. You'll need money to win. Let me be clear. You can sustain yourself with, you know, grassroots fundraising, hell, even a lot of candidates that I talked to who are running for Congress across the country. In those races, it's a lot more difficult to get your name out there, but they're still being principled regardless and they're not taking big money. They're not doing these high dollar fundraisers because they know it is corrupting and they don't want to be corrupted. So with that being said, though, Elizabeth Warren just had a very stellar third quarter of fundraising. The only person who outraised her marginally was Bernie Sanders. He crushed it, but she still did really good, right? She raised a lot of money from small grassroots donors and probably realizing how she can sustain herself throughout the general if she's the nominee with just small dollar fundraising. She made this announcement. She decided to walk back her general election pivot. As Shane Goldmacher of the New York Times tweeted in a shift, Elizabeth Warren now says she will not do big money fundraising events if she's the Democratic nominee. She had previously said her ban only applied to the primary. Now I actually gave her credit for this on Twitter when I found out about this because I'm of the belief that when you tell a politician to do something and they listen, you should commend them for it. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I trust her. You know, I see the writing on the wall, right? Elizabeth Warren, we all know that she did these big dollar fundraisers back in 2018 when she was seeking reelection in the Senate and she transferred about what was a 10 million of her own money from those big donors to her 2020 campaign. Now, it's not unusual to transfer money from your Senate to your presidential campaign. Bernie Sanders did the same thing. But what's problematic is that she essentially said, look, I'm not going to be corrupted. I'm not taking these money from fundraising events. But I mean, you kind of did because you took the money and then you're transferring it. So that's an issue. But, you know, whenever a politician does something good, I believe in both a stick and carrot approach.  And once they do, then we offer them a carrot and tell them they did a good job. But with Elizabeth Warren, she just is like she's going out of her way to face plan because less than 24 hours later, she walked back that commitment because as NBC News reporter Mark Murray pointed out, Elizabeth Warren's campaign clarifies she'll raise big dollar money for the party if she becomes the nominee, though not for her campaign. So this is pointless. Why did you even announce that then? You're still doing these fundraisers in the general then. Why even make the announcement? Like, I don't get it. Because think about this. Why do we not like these fundraisers in the first place? Because it essentially allows elites to buy access to politicians. So regardless if they're donating money to you or the DNC, they're still buying access to you. They're buying a seat at a table at one of these fundraisers to get access to you. So do you understand why this doesn't make a difference? It doesn't matter that you're doing these high dollar fundraisers for the DNC and not your campaign. That doesn't matter. So why would you even go out of your way to say, you know what? After all, I am not going to do these high dollar fundraisers in the general, only to then flip flop less than a day later. I mean, we were already disappointed, right? But then you got our hopes up and now we're even more disappointed.  Look, we have a chance now to get Bernie Sanders elected. If you are on the left, you have no reason to fight for anyone who is not Bernie Sanders. So if you are not 100% committed to getting Bernie Sanders elected, then I don't know how you can consider yourself a part of the left, like the true progressive left, right? Why are you wasting your time on anyone else who is not Bernie Sanders? When one, he has the best chance of winning and two, he objectively speaking, if you are progressive has the best platform, the most robust platform. How I don't get it. I don't get it. So I mean, I just I don't understand Elizabeth Warren. Let's be real about her. Is she better than Trump? Yes, but that is a very low bar. Elizabeth Warren is not going to be a Bernie Sanders. She's no Bernie Sanders. If she gets elected, we know exactly what to expect. She's going to be Obama 2.0. She's going to do a couple of things that are pretty good. She's going to do a lot of really questionable things. She's going to continue the drone war on the US Empire. She's going to make questionable decisions. I like, do you honestly think she's going to give us Medicare for all? I mean, just the fact that she supports it in and of itself, that's good. But do you think she's actually going to fight for it? Do you think she's actually going to push to get money out of politics? I just I can't trust her because she keeps flip flopping. Right. There's enough red flags to where we need to read the writing on the wall. Elizabeth Warren and it it's Bernie Sanders. Fight for him while we have the chance to get a true progressive elected. Someone who won't waver on any of these issues. There's no question if he's going to be bought off. Fight for Bernie Sanders. Get him elected because it's not over yet. We don't just have to sit back and accept defeat when there's three months until anyone cast a single vote.   She's far better than the rest of the field. But with how bad Democrats are currently, it's just not good enough. Sorry, Liz. So we need Bernie Sanders and that means we have to fight for him. End of story. But trust me, I'd have way more supporters on Patreon if that was my podcast, sad.


What's up everybody? I'm EvilRabbit. We're here on Car Extra Facing Online on the Xbox One to do something today We're gonna be taking the wheel versus this. We're going wheel versus controller showing you guys the difference in that So make sure you guys follow me on all social media. All of which are found in the description box below. Let's get started So we are gonna be running our 240SX. We did install the turbo version of the you know tuning of it So we're gonna be running the turbo version which gives us a little more power a lot lower if you guys remember last episode I Was running it and it was very very spongy So we'll be taking that today. We'll be running it on the parking lot reverse section, which we haven't run yet We're gonna run it on the wheel once or twice then we're gonna switch and run it on the controller So the idea is to see the difference between how the game reacts for controller versus wheel How smooth I could be on a wheel versus how smooth I could be on a controller So we're gonna start off with the wheel first And we're gonna see how this works Little bit more power and we're kind of Trying to be as smooth as possible. I think I might be on the wrong Setting on my fan attack because it is seems very twitchy. I think we are actually on the wrong setting So we're gonna finish this laugh off and then we're gonna switch the other Setting on the fan attack that I believe is setting five which has a little bit More resistance in my wheel But if you guys remember this 180 did not drift very well out of the rip, but With the turbo mod on it Seems to be Getting pretty good. I think I'm getting a little bit more used to the car towards the end of this section nowhere near Gold So we're gonna switch my wheel settings. We're gonna switch my wheel parameter. I think it was no, maybe not I don't think it was set So we're gonna try that one more time on this wheel setting because I think this actually is a wheel setting you need to be on So we're gonna go back retry this on this wheel setting and we're gonna hop into the controller and try it on a controller so Not the worst run possible could have done a lot worse So we see if we can't better that now with a little bit different of a feedback style Remember it fourth gear Yep, this is the actual setting I needed to be on on my wheel as you can see a Lot smoother There we go. So we are able to hold a pretty smooth line. Oh on a good on a wheel Backwards entry we got points for that a little bit of a wall tap. Oh I was looking at my score not where I was going. I should never look at my scores Never get distracted Left foot brake action going on 360 for style I don't consider that a Win on that at one because we don't get 360 for style points, but I am liking the 240 with the turbo mod Probably should tune it and get a little more acrimon in here But we're running this off the rip and it is very twitchy a little bit on the wheel and That's just a testament to the tuning aspect of the car if you guys remember last time we tuned the car better and It got better and Transitioning and stuff. So now we're gonna switch up to the controller which We have to tweak some settings for we switch up the control I gotta make sure what the controls are for the controller first And then we're going to try it on this controller and actually see if we can do better or worse with the controller Gonna hop over in the settings Controls because what are my controls Left right gas break clutch handbrake. Okay. Oh Shoot, did I just yeah reset those? Okay, so gas break clutch handbrake I Need to know Next gear previous gear. Okay. So we got the basic controls. All right. So now we're gonna run it on the controller We're gonna tweak some settings here from what people have been telling me to run when I run the controller So we're gonna run a bit of a Modified setting here.  We're gonna do controller assist on We don't want steering wheel assist because well, that's just very weird when you're using a wheel So we got the controller just on so what we should be able to do is just kind of turn into the turn So we're going to go Yep, that's pretty much how we are gonna go oh So controller versus wheel if you don't have a wheel this game is incredibly fun It's very it's not Crazy some you know complicated to just pick up and has it all and have some fun with your friends now make sure you don't like Just stab the brakes and totally fail in drifting And I'm wondering if I'm actually better on a wheel than I am a controller Controller drifting is not my thing but we seem to be Throwing it down a little bit here Do a little fast transitions. Oh, no Yeah, I apparently controller drifting is uh Not a thing. I'm very good at You guys have followed me on other games with controller drifting, you know controller Controllers and I don't usually get along When it comes to racing games or drifting games it is incredibly fun here on Xbox one on car extra racing online And I could see why a lot of people are having a blast with This game So we gave the wheel two tries, so we're gonna give the controller two tries, so we're gonna give it one more shot We're getting a lot of money here. We're we're ticking up those funds because you know We need a bunch of funds to buy some more performance parts for this 240 So what we are gonna do is probably before the end like we ended last episode We're gonna upgrade the 240 even higher because last time we just drove a stock now We upgraded we're gonna upgrade it higher and see how it handles in a higher tune So we're in fourth There we go nice kind of smooth arcing line Little bit of handbrakes Some clutch kicks there Able to mongey and draw a little bit better of a line right now on the controller What I am stalling it out there Turn to stay in drifts here and get lost in the smoke a little bit Better than throttle kind of just stay and pinned on gas There we go quick flick So Impressions on me with a controller It's definitely something if I want to just do some chill driving with and have some fun with some friends Maybe that don't have wheels and stuff like that It's definitely Incredibly fun to drive on a controller because other games on controllers for drifting are not as easy such as like horizon and Forza and stuff like that. So this game is pretty much a Solid throwdown with a controller. Just pick up and play have some good fun And we may actually get gold on this. I wouldn't say get gold, but we got silver We probably could have gotten gold, but we answered taxilver So we're gonna tune the car up with a little more power and come back and see what we can do on the wheel again Wow, so we managed to pull Some money on that we got 61k now So we could buy some more tracks have some more fun hop online if you guys want to see some online stuff Let me know down in the comment section down below A quick way to make some money So we're gonna go to the garage We are gonna go back with the mods and we're going to throw down 641 horsepower of a drift tune on the 180 I'm gonna go check out the acromint Real quick max degree of angle. I think we're just gonna leave it how it sits and we're just gonna we're just gonna send it We're gonna send this car And hopefully be able to handle it in that amount of power on the same track because why not? It's a good basis. You saw wheel versus controller. Which do I prefer? I prefer obviously a wheel, but if you want to have just a chill drift time This is a game you can just pick up a controller and chill and have a good time with and not really like get Frustrated about it. So let's see How this reacts all my Way more power Light around my throttle foot We may need some bigger tires in the back because it doesn't feel like I'm getting much grip But it's got angle to hold it and for a rip first off no tune basic drift tune This thing gets it so I think we're going to do some visual aesthetics to it change up the wheels change up the actual tune And actually get some there we go Some actual grip in the back of this car here on the next episode. Oh We sent that too hard We got reverses up here now this thing just smokes it in fourth gear We were on a we're on a good tear. We could have gotten gold. We might still be able to get gold. Oh, yeah We managed to tag gold here for the final part little 364 style at the end Hope you guys enjoyed this episode here on car extra racing online Make sure you follow me on all the scripture box below Throwing down Get some good money involved. We are up there stuff back 79 We got money to tune the car find more tracks more stuff coming here on the Xbox one version of car extra racing online There's always I thank you guys for watching. I'll be more rabbit. See you guys on the track


I see some faces. Hey, what's up, Christine? For those of you, if you could, better just join me if you could mute your phone. I do not have access to the mute you, so. You want to make me a co-host there, Mr. Hory? I can help with that. I don't have a co-host. I don't have a co-host. That's OK. You're going to be doing more than speaking at me. Oh, I'm excited. I'm excited. It is 9 o'clock on the east coast, six o'clock on the west coast. We are coast to coast tonight, y'all. So thanks for hopping on. I just want to welcome you to this awesome call that we are having tonight. It's all about keto education. If you're remotely interested in anything keto, you're on the right place. You found us. And I'm going to ask you if you're new to Zoom, if you could please mute your phone, so that way we don't have any extra feedback. And then there'll be an opportunity at the end of this call to ask any questions. But we're going to try to stop this at 9 30 east coast time just because we know your time is valuable. You've decided to join something on a Monday, Labor Day night, right? So let's get rolling here. I just wanted to first introduce myself. My name is Hory Calvin. I'm in St. Petersburg, Florida. And I have been using this interesting product that we can talk about later. But I've been part of a keto lifestyle now for a number of years. And I've had the pleasure of getting to know somebody that's going to be helping us on this call tonight, Dustin Schaefer, who is probably one of the world's leading experts on keto. So y'all, this is going to be a treat for you tonight. If you've ever been curious about what is keto, why is ketosis important? What are the benefits of a keto diet? What benefits can you expect when you're in ketosis? Look, you found the right place. This is what it's all about. When I had been getting to know keto and ketones and being in ketosis, I kind of didn't have any clue what I was doing. And I didn't really realize that being in ketosis has so many benefits. The one that I love the most is all about my mental clarity. I'm an author. I've written two best-selling books. They're both on Amazon. And my brain energy was tanking in the afternoon. And I realized that I was only using glucose. I wasn't using ketones in my liver, in my body. But when I made that switch over to using ketones, it was like, who's watched The Wizard of Oz? Anybody? I hope y'all, if you've ever watched movies, you've watched The Wizard of Oz. So tell me what. Anybody know what happens just in the chat? What happens when it's all black and white, and Dorothy's spinning in the house, and all of a sudden the thing jumps down, the house crashes, and it's all quiet, and she opens the door? What happens, y'all, at that moment? Anybody have an idea in the chat? It becomes colorful. It's like you can start seeing in color.  I was not living optimally, as I was born to live, right? So it was crazy. So my biggest benefit being in ketosis is just I feel like my life is finally turned on. And I started to learn all about ketosis over the past 14 months. And interestingly enough, when I've been sharing this keto conversation, there are some people on the call y'all, I don't know who's on here. Oh, Steph Bowerman is on here, Peggy Fries is on here. I've had the pleasure of working with a couple of women who's made it a goal to lose a lot of fat, a lot of weight. You know, Peggy Fries, who you might have got to know at different places or heard her name, she was my bus driver when I was in elementary school. She's gonna be 60 years old next year. She weighed 422 pounds when she came to me and she said, Corey, I need help. And I said, let's get into ketosis. Peggy's been in ketosis now for almost a year. She's lost 136 pounds and her life has forever changed. She never was able to walk 20 feet without having to sit down. But you know what, now she can walk two miles at a 20 minute mile over a viaduct in her hometown of Montpelier, Ohio. Steph Bowerman on here is my neighbor at my lake house. She's lost 112 pounds because she's been in ketosis. So you know what, tonight we're gonna talk about what ketosis is. And I wanna introduce someone who's actually been an amazing mentor to me. And I've gotten to know over the past 14 months. His name is Dustin Schaefer. He's in California right now. He has fired up for this call. I am fired up to talk and I'm gonna interview him tonight. But Dustin, thanks for joining us. You know, honestly, probably one of the world's leading experts on keto. Dustin, go off on mute. I wanna know when I say world's leading keto expert, tell me kind of just help people understand quickly what that means because you've had the opportunity to work with some amazing experts around the world and you're one of them. Well, hey, buddy, I appreciate it. And you may have to mute out your phone. But you know what's interesting is that...  Oh yeah.  And that is what it all means. I'm just kidding. So here's the deal. What's funny is that there's people out there that have more scientific background than I do. There's people out there that have more, maybe technical ideas of what ketones are. But what I'm very proud of is that I've lived in a ketogenic state for nearly all of my adult life, meaning for over 20 plus years. Not only that is I've been able to coach people. I coach people, thousands of people through the hardcore diet. And let me tell you, everybody quits. And I mean everybody, nobody stays to it. They all start and get off. But yet they feel the best they ever felt when they had high level ketones. And then over the last six years, I've been blessed to not only host the largest keto event in the entire world, right there. Largest event in the world. I get to work with and talk to the doctors from the former chairman of NASA and researchers at the top, the top, the metabolic specialist at the top. And I'm a research researcher in the world too. Basically you name the top formulators in the world. So I've kind of had a unique perspective as number one, coaching people on a diet that's really hard. Number two, understanding the science behind it, working with a lot of the thought leaders in it. But number three, how do you implement and teach people how to live their life the way they want to? Implementing ketones, elevating the ketone levels and actually getting the cake needed too? Just everybody has a different amount of cake for you and you have to be okay with that. Yeah, no, I appreciate that, man. Honestly, like this is gonna be exciting call.  And I wanna do this more, if you're okay with this, dust it open to like maybe interview you a little bit, just because you have so much knowledge that you're gonna be able to give. Like this event is all about giving back to you. You guys made an effort to come on at nine o'clock or wherever you're at in the United States or world to hop on and listen and learn. Look, we're all about giving. We wanna help you become the best version of yourself. That's what this is all about. So I'm gonna interview Dustin and then we'll open up some questions at the end.  Help us understand. We've heard this word keto ketosis, right? Like people are like, you know, I've heard all these things. I see the packaging, like why is ketosis so important? Well, hey, I'm gonna have you read out your Zoom if you don't mind when I speak. I'm getting a little bit of a backlash. Okay, so that's a great question because a lot of people are like, most people don't even have the care about understanding the whole complexity of ketogenics or ketosis. It's been studied for 100 years. But why are ketones so important is because the simple answer, Dr. Steven Cooney and out of Canada talks about it. It's a primitive fuel, meaning it's a energy. It's a fuel that our body has utilized, all of our human existence. And if you don't elevate, the biggest thing is, is if you don't elevate ketones. I was in a meeting with Dr. Angela Paul from the University of South Florida and somebody brought up a question and she's like, what if you don't have ketones in your system? What is your life like when? Let's look at it the other way. And she goes, look around.  How many people walk around with sustainable focus? How many people walk around physically feeling confident and healthy in their body? How many people walk around with the confidence that they know that they can get through their day without binge eating on a much much stuff? She goes, when you're in ketosis, you elevate all of those. You have more energy and more focus, better mood, better sleep, better fat loss, better fat metabolism. So why ketones are so important is number one, is if you get to get proverbial by the brain. Brain loves ketones. Number two, it's a sustainable energy source for your muscle and system in your heart. And number three, it helps with this thing called the metabolic switch. I'm not gonna get super deep into that technically, but there's a transport. There's a glute fork transport in your body that helps you metabolize body fat.    I'm big into anti-aging also, Corey. So why ketones are so important?   So I'm gonna ask you this. Can you just help me understand the different ways to get into ketosis, right? So I think there's a lot of people are out there like, oh, I'm in ketosis and there's lots of little things you can blow on and strips you can do and all that kind of stuff. But like, just if you could just simplify it for us, what are the ways that we can get into ketosis besides being born, which I think that's the first way, right? But like, can you help us understand what are the ways we can get into ketosis? Yeah, absolutely. So being born is one way.  But as an adult, there's three ways that people can get into ketosis. Number one is a strict ketogenic diet. It's been studied, the longest study diet in modern day history, it's been a hundred years and it's a high fat, low carb, moderate to low carb, low protein diet. Now I'm talking about therapeutic ketosis and that matters. You have to have a high enough number, a level of ketones to really make big health benefits. Number two, so that's a strict diet. Number two is fasting, long times of fasting. I was at a research conference in Banff, Canada. The guy said, you should only eat three to four times a week. That was his advice. Three to four times a week, he's an anti-aging specialist for a lot of health and vitality. I'm like, well that's not gonna work. And then number three is drink ketones, right? So some of the biggest breakthroughs in scientific history and research started about 10 years ago and now modern day, six years now, we brought together for the world drinkable ketones, which is obviously the most efficient, fastest and sustainable way of getting ketosis. So those are the three ways. No, thank you for that. So you mentioned, you know, ketones at the end and, you know, it's interesting, you know, when you say a strict diet, it sounds like there are ways that are easier to get to ketosis than others, right? You had mentioned something about how some people, they really had to stick to a very strict diet for you to get ever in ketosis. So like, can you help people understand like how long it can take to get to ketosis through a diet versus maybe the other options, right? Like how fast does that usually work? And then how do you sustain that to really get all the benefits? Yeah, so if you're talking about diet alone, if you're already super healthy, super fit, super athletic, you're basically Mr. Perfect or Mrs. Perfect, good for you. Three days, you can get into a therapeutic level and ketosis in three days. It takes up six weeks for others to up. But here's the funny thing is, is Dr. Mukhi Parodi just did research on this and she says roughly, I don't know, 40 to 60% of Americans will not sustain ketosis no matter how perfect their diet is ever because of this blue transporter can't turn back on.  So they're in like the worst place ever, which is majority of people probably watching this right now. And unfortunately, most of the people you care the most about. So that's why she's been studying our product so much. So dietary wise, and that's being perfect, y'all. I literally was at University of Ohio State University and they had people locked into rooms doing the ketogenic diet. They literally had them, to study them, they had them locked into rooms and they fed them a protocol. Like that's how they controlled it all. Just to kind of get people perspective of like, I'm just gonna do the diet, it's not that simple. It's very complex. It took me years to figure out and took me years to teach people how to do it. Okay, so yeah, I've had people come up and be like, oh yeah, I'm a ketosis. Like I've been doing this for like, you know, six months. But you're saying the 40% or 60% can really never get the therapeutic benefit of actually doing all that hard work. And not sustain it, no. Ooh, what? That's just the science. Wow.  That's a package of ketones that's something you consume. And obviously that can get you to ketosis in 60 minutes or less. You know, why is that better for people to do then?  Well, I think the most important thing people have to keep in mind is we're talking about therapeutic ketone levels.  And to do that, it becomes sustainable. There's a reason why we're living a world, if we could get back in time, four or 5,000 years, and live like we did then, it'd be easy to teach a diet. We just need a natural process. But let's be honest, I like pumpkin pie. I like to indulge. I like a lot of fruit. I like certain things. I'm more of a paleo guy than a keto guy, right? And there's all these other things that you want to have and I don't want to count calories every day.  I don't want to count protein every day. So when you can drink ketones, it provides a therapeutic level, no matter what your age is, no matter how old you are. I already said that.  That's why I literally am shipping product to one of the top female athletes in the entire world. She's an Olympic gold medalist, multiple gold medals. She drinks the same product my mom, my friends, and I go to different places on the line. We can give people a sustainable amount of ketones all at the same time. That's intelligent, right? Let's just basically do a baseline where you now take the time to help you find a diet that you're willing to follow. You always say the only good diet is the one you're willing to follow. And that's why drinking ketones is the secret weapon. That's why it's probably gonna be the biggest breakthrough. And this is from some of the top researchers, the biggest breakthrough of this century when it comes to health and vitality of at least our country and well, most countries actually. And so to me, it's a no-brainer. I didn't want to do a ketone diet. I had to for medical reasons, right? I want ketones in my system. My mom wants ketones in her system. She doesn't want to follow a strict plan and diet every single day.  And that's where the heavier cake you need it to comes in and that's gonna be different for everybody. So I have a lot of people that ask me this, like, Corey, do I have to follow a strict ketogenic diet when I consume ketones? So can you just address that question? Because I get, people are confused about, you know, what they need to do while they're consuming ketones for the best benefit. Yeah, absolutely. So people get that confused all the time because they think keto, they think keto diet. Keto diet's gotten crazy a lot of people right now. Six years ago, nobody took a ketogenic diet and approved it when we launched. Everybody's talking about keto, the word keto is starting to buzz. And so it's hard because we just assume keto and we put the diet together. And that's because of the media, mainstream media is talking about it and it's going crazy. And people just get overwhelmed and confused. And so the purpose, the reason our product exists is so you've never had to do the ketogenic diet. Now is there benefits in doing a low carb or a modified keto or keto-ish diet with ketring for ketones? Absolutely. As soon as you reduce carbohydrates, that's good for you no matter what diet you're doing. If you're not using your carbs, getting rid of them is going to get there. Meaning if you're not a physical athlete, you're not pushing your body, eating too many carbs is just not a, it's not a super healthy thing. And now certain carbs can vary, right? Now, if you're reducing processed food, if you're taking care of yourself, if you're exercising more, all that's going to be added bonus. But Corey, you not have to follow a ketogenic diet. You have to find a diet that you're willing to follow. I just interviewed a guy that's dude, he does 350 grams of carbs a day. He's a bodybuilder and he loves our product. He is in, I mean, he, every day he texts me, Dustin, I got a new benefit, this is amazing. And he looks like an Adana. So he looks, he's a beautiful man. And he found a way to utilize as a tool because he wanted ketones to without doing the diet. So that's what's really special. I think that people need to understand hopefully more. Okay, I'm trying to unmute my phone. So, I get this all the time, like the benefits of ketosis and being in ketosis, right? So I get a lot of people that, my benefit, the reason I use, you kind of let, you talked about this as bodybuilder, he doesn't necessarily want to lose, well, he probably wants to lean out and bulk up. This product I've learned wasn't created necessarily to help people lose weight, which is why I would get people that come to me and say, Corey, I want to lose body fat. Cause I always say, what do you hope to get out of using ketones? What do you hope to get out of being in ketosis? And I think in the United States, most people want to lose body fat. So that's like primarily what it's used for, but maybe you can help clarify because this goes way beyond fat loss, right? Like anybody that's ever done any type of research on the brain, I mean, this is crazy stuff. So like, can you just help us understand, like I get some people say, Corey, I don't want to lose fat. How could this benefit me, right? I'm one of those people, but like, maybe you have, because of your science background and kind of what you know about this, help us understand like all the benefits, really. Like if someone came to you and said, what can this really do for me? What would you tell them? Yeah, well, the first thing I'm going to tell everybody is the brain, you know, what people don't realize is that after the age of 35, the research says 38, but we know it's earlier than that. The brain starts just shrinking down, but basically doesn't uptake energy the right way. So your brain is not getting the fuel that it needs. I don't care what you're eating.  I don't, it doesn't matter how amazing you are or not amazing you are. Your brain isn't getting the fuel.  The brain is the primary reason you should be drinking ketones and you should be in ketosis, therapeutically. And it fills the gap.  Hormones are impacted. Dural transmitters are impacted. Moods impacted. A higher body responds to stresses impacted. All these factors are impacted. So the ketones will actually get to parts of the brain that glucose isn't getting to anymore. So the anti-aging part of it of the brain now also has this aspect of turning on this metabolic switch. And I'm going to talk about that in a second. And so the biggest reason you should be drinking ketones is to protect your brain from getting older. Number one, you're going to be in heightened, heightened hikes. That's going to happen. Now that can take up to six weeks because there's some gaps. Some of y'all have some serious gaps that need to be filled. Let's be honest. I've been hitting the head a lot. A lot of gaps could fill. It literally took me almost six full months, therapeutically to get the whole effect that I was looking for. My wife, it took six weeks.  Sustain energy improves sleep. We'll see that as a big factor also. This improves sleep is a huge component because it helps with recovery, helps with getting growth hormones, helps with anti-aging. Everything has a cascade of effects. But I think really the biggest factor is anti-aging mood and focus and sleep are the ones that people kind of forget about when it comes to being in ketosis. And they think that they took that part more serious. They would take this product more serious because guess what?  Peggy wants to lose 150 more pounds. How many more pounds? 65 more pounds or something? She only needs about, I don't know, 80. She's almost there. Right, so she wants to lose 80 more pounds. It's not about Peggy losing 80. It's about Peggy maintaining a new life. And she can only do that if everything is working in her system in the proper way. That's why people have lost weight and gained it because they haven't actually retrained their body's system. That's what this will do for you if you're willing to see it through. So it's pretty remarkable what it does. I just got that question today. Someone, I get this probably once a day now. Someone asked, well, what happens when I stop taking the ketones? And I have my answer, but I'm curious like what you tell people because it's really interesting because I think people in their head think they have to do a diet and then they just give it up after they've hit their goal. But this is a fuel source for your brain. So it's not really a diet. So what type of, what do you tell people when they ask that question? Like, what happens when I stop and I gain the weight back? Well, it kind of depends what they're starting for. If it's for fat loss or weight loss, I just tell them, listen, if you change your life, if you change everything about your life, then you can maintain it. You don't necessarily not maintain this feeling good because you have to still maintain therapeutic ketones. You know, it's just, I can't change that to have to commit to a full ketogenic diet. If not, you're gonna have to find a way to stop it. It's no different than, it's kind of like if you make all the money you want in the world to retire, you still better make sure something's coming in. Does that make sense? Otherwise it'll drain out the back end too fast and then you'll eventually end up with nothing.  So you may not have to push it as hard.  No, but if you wanna still be a decent runner, you better keep running. Does that make sense?  There's no difference in this. And it's all about creating new lifestyles and that's why we're a lifestyle brand, not a diet company. It's about creating lifestyles that people are willing and wanting to do and are proud of because that's the reason you wanna inspire others to do it, right? You want other people, you wanna see your family change and people's life change. That's how you make an impact in the world and that's why we do what we do is for the whole package, not for one reason. I love that. And the last question I'm gonna ask before we open to any questions. If you guys have any questions, please type it in the chat and we can ask Dustin. Here's your chance. If you have any questions or talking about keto, let me know. But Dustin, again, I think a lot of people come to me with this fat, they really want to master fat loss. And obviously, we're helping a lot of people lose body fat, you know, OPEG 136 pounds, Stephanie 112 pounds. I've heard so many stories, 50, 60 pounds, 20 pounds, pant sizes down. I mean, you name it.  So help us like, I know a lot of people want to lose fat. Obviously I'm using it for the brain. Hopefully y'all are using it for the brain, but you know, we want more benefits too, which is cool.  Well, yeah, everyone here, I'm live. Okay, so here's what I want to do is I want everybody to just take notes out. I want you to note pen and paper out. I want you to write a few things down. Number one thing is you gotta keep this in mind. It doesn't matter how magical our product is, doesn't matter how magical low carb dieting is for fat loss. If it took you 20 years to gain 100 pounds, it's gonna take you at least 20 months to get rid of it. You gotta be patient and you gotta get rid of the scale.  It works every time. I can't tell you. Remember the metabolic switch, I'm gonna give you the foundation of fat loss, but as many times I get people like I lost weight, I get people say, well it's not working fast enough for me or I didn't lose weight fast enough. So they quit. They quit for two, three years. They come back and they have to try again.   Okay, at first, my sister for eight weeks literally yelled at me every day because that scale didn't move at all. She's down to 100 pounds now, y'all. Eight weeks, no movement. Down to 100 pounds, you really recognize her as the same person. So I want you to keep this in mind. I want you to really keep this in mind. You have to be patient.  Don't do that, this works, I promise you. So here's the secret to fat loss. I'm gonna give you the very basic. The first thing you wanna do, especially if you're brand new, is put the ketogenic diet and don't Google it. Don't go over there and start following all these keto people. It's going to mess you up. There's a reason why, remember, they may be keto experts and I know some of them, but they don't coach people every day, and the ones that coach people every day are going to coach like 30 people. So I'm talking about all the people in the world.  So this is what you're gonna do.  You gotta stay hydrated. You know why? It's because one of the ways to metabolize fat is you gotta urine. You gotta pee. You gotta stay hydrated. So huge. You gotta stay hydrated.   You're gonna drink your first ketones over 30 to 40 minutes for breakfast.   It could be a one. It could be 11. I don't care around 12 o'clock and I want you to do this. I want you to focus on low carb, not high fat. Now, I'm not afraid of fat. Don't be afraid of fat. Be okay to use fat. Don't go start adding tons of fat. The reason why is you don't know your system yet and your system doesn't know your system yet.  So you're gonna have a low carb meal, protein and vegetables, protein and low carb vegetables. Y'all, this isn't rocket science. It is this simple. Then what you're gonna do is you're gonna, if you're not hungry, don't eat at all until six o'clock. I want you to eat at six o'clock. I'm gonna talk about a couple tips at the end. I want you to have another protein and vegetable at six o'clock.  Active person is probably more and active probably less. But I want you to eat those two pieces of protein and those two vegetable sources. Okay, low carb vegetables. I want you to have those. Sometimes you're gonna say, I'm not hungry at all. Yes, that's okay. But we're gonna talk about that in a second. If you need an extra boost in the afternoon, you can have an extra keto nap. If you need an extra boost, have a keto nap in the afternoon. Okay, you can have a half, you can have a full one. If you need an extra boost. All right, don't eat after eight p.m. That is it. That is as simple as it is.  You need to be drinking at least, I'm gonna take this back. Somewhat between 60 ounces of water and 120 ounces of water. 60 and 120, hydrate, remember.  It's gonna help, that's how we eliminate fat. We eliminate it three ways. Right, through urine, through sweat, and through breath. All right, it's part of the process. So guess what? Something else you're gonna wanna add.  Listen, you've gotta exercise. Our product is amazing. Listen, it's amazing. Set yourself up for success. Get out and start walking. Get out and start biking. Get out and start moving your body. You don't have to join a gym. At first, just go move. The more you move, the more you breathe. The more you breathe, the more you sweat.   You're burning more calories.  So two protein meals and a low carb vegetables a day, right, two protein meals, low carb vegetable a day space. One to two servings of drinks, lots of water, move your mind. Now here's my tip for you. These are the big ones. Be careful of this. Googling keto dessert. They strew people up.  Make a mistake. These are the things that people do. They don't make their pound and cheese. Well, cheese has potentially an inflammatory problem. Not something you can add a lot more of. I'm not saying don't eat it.  Proteins and vegetables, this is how basic this is, y'all. Don't go start adding tons of nuts to your diet.  That's not the secret because that's not healthy stuff anyway. Can you have it from time to time? Sure, but get confident in how your body works. Get confident in how you start metabolizing fat. Once you start losing 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 pounds, well, guess what? Play around with a little bit of stuff. But if you plateau, get that out.  So a couple more tips, Corey. So that's two meals a day, one to two Nata days. Simple as that. The two meals a day, and it pretty much pays for the product, right? Because you're already reducing snacking and reducing all these carbs and sugars. And if you have 100 pounds on you, you have 350,000 calories you don't need to eat. Y'all, there's lots of energy there. But the couple of other tips I want to give you is that if you really want to master fat loss, you should be tuned 24 fast with us. And that's where you can do one meal a day on Mondays. We have a kit that comes along with it. It's amazing. I do it every single Sunday night to Monday. I'm having my meal here in a little bit. We're grilling out tight. And then do the reboot with us. They're both accelerators to your health, anti-aging recovery and fat loss.  So move your body. Also, I'm gonna tell you one more thing, is smile more, be happier. Happy people lose weight faster. So when you're out there moving your body, shake your butt, dances and Richard Simmons, dance to the oldies, have some fun. And keep this simple. Right now, too many people are out there. We're going keto and going on Instagram and follow all of these crazy recipes. And eating is simple. It's boring. It is boring. Long term, you gotta find ways to make it fun. But don't start having fun until you've gotten confident in how your body burns fat. Then you can start having fun and find the deviations. Find the way to have your cake and eat it too. But don't go too quickly away from that.  Good on you. But for the rest of us that have to watch their carbs, two protein meals a day, two low carb, with low carb vegetables, one to two drinks a day, that's it. Woo! I am fired up, man. That was like dropping bomb after bomb after bomb and not keto bombs. But these are like bomb nuggets, like brain nuggets here. Lock that in, write that down. We only have five minutes left. We have some questions I wanna get too quickly if we can. But hey, like Dustin said, we do a 60 hour reboot. It's available the first week of every single month. If you don't do that, get a 24 hour fast. I know Peggy does this once a week, y'all. And look, if you're new to ketones, get one or two challenge kits. We have 10 day challenge kits. This is a great way to get in and commit to 60 to 90 days just like Dustin talked about, okay? And here's the last thing I'll say before I mask some questions. If you're remotely interested in anything you've heard tonight, get with the person that invited you to this call. Okay? They're gonna be able to help you through all this, navigate this, learn more about it, get something if you wanna try it. But get with the person that invited you to tonight's call. So Dustin, we have a couple of questions. And I'm gonna say, if you're in Northwest Ohio, on Sunday, we got one of the top incomeers, the company Michael Rutherford is coming up. Pillier, Ohio, if you're in any, if you're within two hours, three hours of driving in Northwest Ohio, you gotta get to the event. It's gonna be amazing. If you're in Northwest Indiana, Michigan city that night, there's another event. If you guys are in those look, reach out to the person that invited you, we can figure out how to get you there. But hey, Dustin, I got a couple quick questions. Type two diabetics, how do you help? Well, here's the big thing is, is if you're dealing with a health challenge, medical challenge and you're struggling with all those things, work with your doctor on these things, right? Work with your doctors. But this is the only piece of advice I give you. Go in there with a plan, show them a plan, ask them to support you in whatever plan that is that you're gonna, you want to implement it and work with your doctors on it and make sure that they can fit for you. So that's the big thing. If you're struggling with a health challenge, you're always gonna want to do that. And the last thing is blood ketone levels after I drink nap, that's something about right measuring. Yeah, so be careful with it because it all comes down to timing. And right now we don't have a way to measure intercellular ketone levels, unfortunately. They're working on that research and it's proven launched. So what you're looking at is therapeutic. You want to be above 0.5 millimolar of ketones.  I think as you're engaging, it messes people up more than it helps. Doesn't mean you can't do it from time to time. You know, once or twice a year is fine, but if you do it all the time, I think what happens it messes you up. So, but 0.5 millimolar is that low level that you want to stay above that. And so if you're drinking ketonat, you'll stay above that. But at the end of the day, you might now run out if you're not following a strict diet. So everybody's gonna be a little different.   And that can take up to six, eight, 12 weeks for people to metabolize fat well to get their extra support from their own bodies. That's why rebooting in 24 fast is so important because it can help to kickstart that accelerator. Awesome, man.  I just wanna thank you for hopping on tonight, spending your 6 p.m. time slot on Labor Day with us out in California. This has been amazing y'all. Hey, who would have maybe invited someone else to a call similar? Like are you like, oh my gosh, like someone in your life you're thinking about right now has to hear this. Like type a one in the chat if you're like, oh my gosh, like this was amazing. Someone in my life has to hear this. If you have a one, here's the deal. We're gonna do the same exact call on Wednesday. The same thing, but we're gonna do it and maybe a little bit different style Dustin. We'll figure out how to mix it up. We'll have some different questions. But if you're someone that's like, oh my gosh, like someone needs to hear this, we're gonna do the same thing on Wednesday night, 9 p.m. Eastern. Dustin's gonna post this in the Prove It Pulse. Check that. My whole team is gonna invite people this. Dustin's gonna have it on his Facebook page. So look, this is amazing. These calls are really helpful. We're all about education and helping people really understand the benefits of ketosis and getting into the keto lifestyle. Look, there are different ways to get to Hawaii y'all. You could swim and do the keto diet or you know what, you can fly and you know what? Maybe drink one of these once or twice a day. So Dustin, thanks so much, man. You're awesome. I appreciate you. So educational, so motivational, so inspirational.  Like we're gonna be here to help. That's what we do. We serve, we wanna help, we wanna educate. Be sure to get your 10 day challenge, reach out to invited you and that's all we got folks. Thanks Dustin, appreciate you man. Appreciate you man. Dude buddy, appreciate you too. Thank you. You still up here? I think he's still on up here. He doesn't know it. I'm gonna pop out way all.
