Well, here's the thing. My projections had me saving up probably like $100,000 for rainy day fund. Turns out that rainy day fund is just what COVID is called. Chicken breast, beef tenderloin, salmon filet are all everyday ingredients that makes for a great meal. But the true testament to a chef's skill and creativity comes from their ability to put unique ingredients like beef heart, bone marrow, and pig ear into a delicious meal. Today I'll be bringing you to Straight and Marrow where we get to see how Chris puts a spotlight on everyday forgotten ingredients. Let's go behind the scenes and check out their secret sauce. Straight and Marrow is located in Vancouver's East Village, an industrial area home to many breweries and unique restaurants. They open Wednesday through Sunday from 5.30 pm to midnight and their main clientele are those looking for delicious cocktails and a chef-inspired fine dining experience all at an affordable price. Hello Chris! Thanks for having me. Very, very well. Thank you, thank you for having me here again. I really enjoy this place. It looks beautiful. Absolutely wonderful. Tell me, tell me what is Straight and Marrow? Straight and Marrow is just my baby over here. Realistically it's just the restaurant me and my friends have always wanted. So we're just doing yeah, food exactly how we want to do it. We're doing cocktails how we want to do it. Everything a little bit outside the box and I think the main thing that we're going for is the fact that a lot of restaurants here you know you're like Italian French or Asian Japanese you know what I mean like it's they're in kind of a box that they have to follow and so we never really like that like me and my bartender you know we've always worked in places where they put a limit on what we could do because you had to keep up with this theme or their clientele so we wanted to build a place where anything we think of you know we want to do a Spanish dish we want to do a Mexican dish we want to do like an Asian dish like let's go for it you know like we don't want anybody telling us what we can't do and then we're going to build our own unique clientele that will kind of enjoy coming here to experience those things and never know what they what to expect right right and you have a philosophy nose to tail what is that well nose to tail I think a lot of chefs use it like it's just their concept is you don't waste anything you use everything like when you get a full cow in our full pig it it doesn't have the head usually it doesn't have the tails it doesn't have you know all the organs so their nose to tail is using all the cuts but those are still traditional cuts so my nose to tail is things that I grew up eating you know like we have hot pot you know we pork kidneys it's one of my favorite things so it's trying to introduce a lot of those flavors to the general population um and just honestly not wasting anything and our butchers right now love us for we're taking everything that they don't they can't get rid of you know I'm like go we'll take it we'll make something delicious out of it show me why don't you show me behind the scenes now when it comes to the menu Chris takes that nose to tail philosophy and create some truly amazing dishes combining unique and creative ingredients with fine dining flavors and flair but what's truly amazing is that their average order value for stray and merrill is only around 45 to 55 dollars where you could be easily spending hundreds for similar food at other establishments so yeah so i'll show you my favorite dish which is the sweet bread dish what is sweet bread sweet breads is actually a pancreas gland or thymus gland of an animal so either in the neck or somewhere in there so I was always taught that a good piece of sweet bread should kind of taste like fried chicken so I made kind of a fried like a Korean fried chicken dish um so here we have just these are the fried lamb sweetbread just fried in a little bit of tapioca starch and then we have some fried brussel sprouts which I tossed in fish sauce and lemon juice so going for a little little asian-y flavors there so is it really difficult and it takes a lot of like r&d when it comes to coming up with uh with all these recipes for unique ingredients because it's not like your typical chicken breast that's probably the hardest thing is the fact that like there are like there's a book called the flavor bible that every cook lives by that gives you all the flavor combinations that work yeah when it comes to a little bit weirder things you can't google anything you just have to try so that's kind of what you do you just put yourself in the in the kitchen you just go ham things that you think would work as a chef and then you kind of go for it something I was super inspiring when I was here last time and I was really really impressed was your plating like I'm trying to make sure that people you know will eat our food the first thing is your eyes so you got to have it looking nice it's beautiful every single dish it feels like I'm in a five-star hotel is this a skill like that you've learned throughout your whole culinary career well I think everything you kind of grow in whatever right like I've I've been cooking now for 12 years yeah so you pick up a little bit here and there and you know you put it all together at some point everybody has to become their own head chef and you don't have anybody to kind of tell you what to do anymore and you have to kind of come up with your own theories and strategies of how you want what you think will work um so here's my dish it's um lamb soup breads there's um garlic puree and this is just a little bit of brown butter powder right so this is just yeah it's just um how can you how can you make this so effortless it's like so beautiful like I tried something like this at home and it just looks like a mess you know it's not hard it's honestly like it it's like I have a little six-year-old kid at home who I'm teaching the plate now and yeah he might be better than me so we'll see so this is one of my best friends in the world just Chad he's he's also my bar manager and pretty big genius in the cocktail world so yeah see what he's up to thank you hello Chad nice to meet you all right what are we making today um I'm gonna run you through a drink that we named after the restaurant it's called the straight and marrow cocktail and it is pretty unique we use bone marrow in the process of creating the drink wow yeah um so this bottle here is mongrel it's produced by odd society spirits just down the road it is a 100% rye spirit that 50% alcohol right and it's perfect for infusions so things that are high alcohol they'll draw the flavors out of whatever you soak them with right so right here I have some the guys in the kitchen saved me some drippings from their bone marrow you can actually help me with this it's very satisfying so we're just gonna dump these in here this looks like I'm at a high school party so bone marrow has a sweet flavor and I thought it would be cool to incorporate that into a cocktail so you cannot actually like taste it yeah the hint of it yeah yeah it's actually pretty intense like the pure spirit is pretty intense but in a cocktail we can balance those flavors so this guy we're gonna let it sit in the fridge for a couple days and then we pull it out and put it in the freezer yeah so my freezer uh because all of the fat from the marrow will freeze and the alcohol will not so then we can run that through a coffee filter and you're not drinking fat you're just drinking the flavored spirit wow that's cheese and you invented this uh well it's a technique called fat washing and I know that some people have done it with marrow before yeah but no one has done it in the type of drink that I'm about to make for you please yeah this is a special technique when you're shaking uh every bartender does their own thing a different way I try to hit as many make the ice smash against the edges of the tins as many times as I can before I bring my arm down throw it around I mean I love doing stuff like that but Chris doesn't like that doesn't right you break too many glasses yeah yeah that's a thing and this is not quite the finished product you know it goes well with beef and marrow salt salt yes for sure that's there's some salt in the beef stock but we're going to pair that with red wine and that's going to settle out so uh the red is on top and it's orange underneath so just like with Chris we like to make the drinks pretty first and make sure that the taste is as good as the looks yeah and this is definitely the weirdest cocktail I've put on a menu I've never done something with beef or marrow before yeah and this this one's not going anywhere this is our signature cocktail here in straight America thank you thank you appreciate it pleasure normally when you think of fine dining restaurants and bars you probably be thinking of expensive over the top the court and huge investments but by leaning into a niche clientele and creating a small intimate space filled with character Chris has been able to create his dream restaurant for just around 300 000 it's truly inspiring to see people with such unique visions going out on their own and making their dreams come true and I'm certainly excited to see where Chris and the team of straight and marrow are headed in the near future wow it's really good yeah I can actually taste the marrow in here beautiful that's our signature dish so straight and marrow yeah actually speaking of which straight and marrow what does it even mean uh so it's kind of play on words on uh what living your life on the straight and narrow means you know like usually you live your you know you're pretty straight edge and everything will work out for you if you have good morals and everything's good so the idea is it's just you know like I like eating all my friends like eating so you live your life on the straight and marrow it's just like eat lots of bone marrow eat lots of good food and life will go good I love it it's like a really it's a name that's uniquely you that you're like you know what I like this I don't care what judgment whatsoever it's for you your friends and and everything and that's kind of like the concept behind this place right like it's just a hangout spot for you and your friends that's what you wanted you created it yeah exactly like honestly like I think the harshest critiques of the critics of this city are probably all my friends who are all restaurant industry people right so if I could create a place where we'd all be happy to go and that's where we would spend our hard earned money we did something right and that's all we were after have you always knew that you you've wanted to build a restaurant well I've fought it for a long time to be honest I you fought it what do you mean well honestly the restaurant life is not the best for everybody you know like it's very demanding hard hours you don't really get paid well you know and you just have to love it there's a lot easier ways out there to make a buck you know so you have to look to do it and that's kind of like why I'm super inspired by chefs like you that you guys have so much passion you guys spend so many hours here R&D cook the food and then you still need to deal with the business side of everything it's it's really admirable thank you thank you yeah and especially for you you're like taking it in god mode you have to like cook beef year beef heart bone marrow and these are like really unique ingredients that are very tough well I think that's what's also what is fun for me is the fact that there's a lot of things that I wasn't allowed to play with in other restaurants you know like I I'm working at this like fine dining restaurant hey I want to like throw some like you know pig feet and maybe like we can like do some you know like this organ or this and they're like no that's not going to sell you know it wasn't even allowed to try so now that I'm my own boss I have my own restaurant like anything I want you know like we sit around having a beer and we're just like what do you want to play with next week you know what do you want to order in and we do it and that's the thing and it's it's super fun and that's that's probably like the my favorite thing about this place is how much fun we're all having because there's no limits you know and the fact that people are loving it it's even better yeah so I guess like when you were building this place like roughly how much did you have to like invest in this place well here's the thing my projections had me saving up probably like a hundred thousand dollars for rainy day fund yeah turns out that rainy day fund is just what COVID is called now you know so so realistically you know like my plan was to put 200,000 into it and then a hundred thousand kind of saved up for and that's what causes restaurants to go under is they don't they don't prepare for GST payments PST payments you know they don't pay they just don't prepare for things that come up like this breaks down you need to repair it and that was me being smart thinking I had all this money backed up yeah but in a way it did work out because a lot of places couldn't open up during the pandemic because they you know weren't prepared for what it took as a new restaurant we didn't receive any subsidies you know no rent subsidies no wage subsidies so I bought this place last November I've been paying full rent you know like I've had to pay wages like and all my utilities so it's it's a pretty pricey proposition right now but you know we're here and we're happy so it's so difficult and it's so admirable that you're going through with it you're opening through COVID and especially for a concept like this it's so difficult and it must be such a big struggle for you wasn't it scary honestly I think my attitude in life is very similar to what I have in the kitchen it's what makes me a good chef is that I don't really get rattled I I worry about things when they happen you know I don't worry about things that are gonna happen so all this stuff you know what there's no point freaking out about it you deal with it as it comes and so we're gonna open you know like no matter what that was the plan yeah it was either that or go bankrupt right so it's like you know what we are gonna open and we're gonna try and you know at least we went out doing something we loved you know right plans obviously not to go out ever no but you know I mean like we have something to show for here that we're proud of we're really happy that people like it you know and we're gonna continue doing it and it's that's the entire deal and just basically here hanging out with my best friends and having fun so what was the toughest part throughout this whole journey honestly it's being a first time restaurant owner you know like working with all my best friends is great but I'm also in charge of all their livelihoods now you know so having to you know like when you're out with your friends and they're like oh I can't afford to go out I can't afford to buy this yeah that's one thing when they're working for somebody else when they're working for you that's an issue so it's making sure that all my friends are taken care of everybody's happy you know and that's probably the biggest struggle yeah so I guess like what was the first taste of success for you I know like you guys are like your regulars are coming yeah we're very new um I would honestly just say that you know like when a patron shows up you know like like a sweet bread dish or beef heart dish like your wife you know like our server will like joke with them you know like oh what is a sweet bread like how about you eat it and then we'll tell you later like and it's just like and they eat it like oh I want another plate what was that and then they say like oh that's interesting that's not something I would have ever thought that I would eat you know but they love them they come back for more that makes me happier than anything like so your regulars are coming back like 15 times yeah already within a span of like a month or two that's like what is that secret of success for you guys like or secret sauce that like it draws them back here honestly I think it's just us being genuinely good people and like our focus here is you know like not making money we want to survive of course but honestly our number one priority is to provide that dining experience that a lot of people haven't had you know and we don't want them to pay for we don't want the stuck upness of fine dining we don't want you know like just you don't have to dress up to come here you want to come and have a cocktail and like you know like spend under 20 dollars you can do that like and it's just a good place to hang out and it's just that's the main draw I think is that people realize that we're not out to get them you know we're not out to like oh you know like we're going to throw this like tuna dish on because the suppliers are like you know they're overstocked and they're going to like toss it our way and we can sell it to you make a lot of money no we're putting out all things that we would personally like to eat drinks that we would like to drink and you know like that's it's very it's there's nothing complex about it you know it's just caring about your customers and caring about the restaurant nice yeah and it's a quality food quality drinks that you if you were to go out and get it like you said they gouge you for money and well that's one of the other things I wanted to make sure that we're doing here was that people are getting value and so a lot of dishes like I was honestly a little bit worried about like undercutting some restaurants of them getting mad at me you know because we've had chefs come in here and they're like you got to charge more for that what are you doing exactly you know and but the thing is we care more about the exposure you know like we want people to be able to experience fine dining you know on our level at least and leave feeling satisfied I've been to some of the you know three mission star restaurants in the world you know like the food's been incredible yeah but at the end of day you look at your wallet and you're like well it was really good but I don't know if it was like yeah not that good so that's the thing we want everybody come you know like leave happy feeling like they got a good deal and yeah just generally like love our restaurants so I love that philosophy that's amazing so what's the big plans for you guys what are some of your goals um honestly it depends how COVID goes that's a really big thing we wanted to launch brunch but it's kind of dangerous to hire more staff right now and then the other thing that we really wanted to do here was the original idea was to do we were always closed on Monday Tuesday so we wanted to do pop-ups to give you know other chefs other bartenders an opportunity to kind of like use their voice and what kind of things they're coming up with and what they want to do you know um but again with COVID that's not the best thing so we'll see how COVID goes and then at the end of day hopefully all that stuff can come to fruition thank you thank you for showing me what you can do with stuff that I usually don't eat no worries thank you so much for coming thank you so there you go guys the secret sauce behind straight and marrow Chris's philosophy is simple be honest to yourself and don't be afraid to go and chase your dreams thank you for watching this episode of the secret sauce I'll see you guys in the next video


Okay, you're interested in influencer marketing. Great. This is the video for you I'm gonna talk about the five big lies and how you can combat them and get great results using influencers Hey, if you're new to the channel, don't forget to subscribe hit that subscribe button down there Turn it from red to gray and don't forget Turn it all Bell notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live or I upload a video look Influencer marketing is big. I mean really big now It is true that since the world illness. I think I can say that 37% drop in use of influencers and there's a 41% drop in the effectiveness of influencers However, the other side to that is that more and more small influencers have jumped into the game and are making a ton of money And helping out a lot of businesses It seems that a lot of businesses didn't want to pay those big influencers the ones with millions of followers But they're super interested in paying those smaller influencers That's where the money is to be made and if you're an influencer you can benefit from this too It seems that businesses are approaching this in a more strategic way They want to get a more niche audience so they're going after the smaller influencers They're looking more at the micro influencers and the nano influencers and I'll explain to you what those are in just one second Lie number two influencer marketing is only good for younger generations That's just not the case as a matter of fact although there are 15 million searches for influencer marketing to Gen Z When you look at Gen X and boomers, there's 10 million searches Definitely businesses are trying to market to older generations too The older generations are becoming more and more involved in social media as a matter of fact They're also using apps. They're ordering online They're using all the services that these companies actually need to target to but here's the really important part Gen X and boomers Control the majority of the income in the United States There's now new terms like grand influencers or elderly influencers take people like Joan McDonald or Helen Winkle They are what you would call elderly influencers in their 70s and combined They have over five million followers and Gen X has some pretty cool influencers Our Linda McIntosh is one of them and she has a huge influence over the buying power of the people that follow her Lie number three influencers have to be large to be effective Actually, the reverse is true when you get millions and millions and millions of followers You're gonna have less of a connection with the people that follow you the nano influencers and the micro influencers And yes, I'm gonna define those for you just one second are having a much bigger effect on their audiences And are getting much better results In fact, it's been proven that influencers with only 500 or more followers can be extremely effective to a business's bottom line when they're talking about their products Okay, so it's time right we've got to define who these people are the mega influencers are people who have one million plus followers the Macro influencers are those influencers that have 100,000 or greater followers and the micro Influencers are those who have anywhere from 10,000 followers plus and then the nano influencers are 500 followers or more so as you can see there is these categories But the last two are the ones the micro influencers and the nano influencers have a much stronger hold over their Audiences than do these big influencers because they're constantly in contact with them They have a closer bond with them if we look at the raw data There's about a 3% conversion rate with the mega influencers However, if you look at the nano influencers, it can be upwards of 30% And it costs a business a whole lot less money to deal with a nano influencer. So what does this mean to you? What does this mean to your business if you're trying to have a real effect? You'll want to deal with the smaller influencers, which is gonna cost you less money But you want to find the ones that closely aligned with your brand the ones that really? Represent the audience that you want to target those are the influencers that you want to go after okay? Let's look at line number four line number four says Influencers don't work for business to business marketing and that's just not true. It works exceptionally well for business to business marketing the note a cloud a hosting company has seen a 15 to 20% increase in their business after using the influencer strategy So it can work for your business if you are trying to market business to business as a matter of fact recently Microsoft teamed up with National Geographic Photographers and they ended up with over 3.5 million likes and over 15,000 user generated uploads now that's pretty successful American Express use small business owners to promote their love my store campaign and Generated over 400,000 sales of their love my store sticker. So what does this mean actually for business to business marketers? Well, it means you need to get involved in influencer marketing whether it's with your customers Whether it's with your employees or whether it's with some of these smaller influencers It can have a huge impact on your business and more importantly your bottom line Number five the one that can really get you in trouble is that influencer marketing has no rules That's just not true As a matter of fact the Federal Trade Commission has now gotten involved and it's put a lot of businesses on notice for fake reviews And fake endorsements don't do it the fines for this can be up to 43 $792 per occurrence so you don't want to do fake stuff when you're doing influencer marketing It's just not cool. Don't do it. Now. The question is what does this mean for marketers? Well, the first thing it means is follow the rules be familiar with the FTC guidelines for influencer marketing and Follow the rules.  Don't tell people things that aren't true. Don't make up stuff It's easy enough to get influencer marketing. It's easy enough to get your customers It's easy enough to get your employees to say something positive about your business without faking stuff And it is really it's kind of interesting how people think they did a survey not long ago And they asked people what they thought of the five-star ratings and which number of stars They felt was the most reputable was the most trustworthy and you would think what a five-star rating They would all say five stars But that just wasn't the case as a matter of fact what they said was four stars Overall average was the most reputable was the most believable was the ones that they thought they would Do business with that particular company in second place was four and a half stars Which is actually a higher rating, but it seemed less reliable to the people and then in third place Was a five-star overall rating now I don't know maybe it's because they believe that no company is going to be all five-star and it it just seemed fake It didn't seem real to them, but four stars that was their number one pin So keep that in mind when you're doing influencer Marketing okay, it doesn't have to be perfect. You don't have to have all five stars. You shouldn't have all five stars It's impossible to please 100% of your customers. Now. I hope you got something out of this I've given you the five big lies. You know what they are use these as a guideline for your influencer marketing Don't push aside the thought that some of these nano marketers these micro marketers couldn't help your business because they can They have a much closer relationship with their audience and their audience believes in them much more and are much more willing to act Upon doing business with your company if you use some of these influence keep in mind The mega influencers the ones with over one million followers got about a 3% conversion But the micro and nano influencers got a 30% or more conversion with their audiences So what would you rather do pay a lot of money to some fancy influencer and not get much back for your dollar or Deal with some of these smaller people and actually get real value for your dollar and get more customers I hope you enjoyed this video.

ced yesterday that was a shocker only in his 70s and still out in the Caribbean he was actually in his 70s i was in his 60s he was late 60s 69 i think and he was working away i was filming uh he was out filming making a film out there and passed away peacefully in his sleep it seems um and he kept he kept relevant right throughout his career didn't he i mean obviously there's a couple of roles that will associate with him but uh there's other films was it um well here we go i'm doing it anyway uh there's i need a tv like tv works on copland he was in copland he was excellent in that but he wasn't leading it but he was good in it um but uh it is a shocker like it's just yeah it's just one of those people that you think is going to be around but anyway he has uh gone on to his eternal reward right okay let's focus on the flight attendant first with you michael because i'm intrigued by this i watched and enjoyed the first series of the flight attendant and then realized i if i'm going to continue with this i'm going to have to do a full recap because i have no idea what happened no idea what happened the flight attendant first series uh based on the book was brilliant and it was one of the highlights for me i remember enjoying it loved it loved it but like a lot of the shows that i've talked about in recent weeks including russian doll and undone and a couple of others i didn't necessarily see how it could do a second series so now that i've watched the first episode it came back last night they've really reinvented the series in a big way because they had to because for those that remember the show not greg for those that remember the show the main character um she was at the scene of a murder yes as well as coming back to me now yeah as well as solving the murder yes and constantly flashing back to the murder in her own head and reliving it and talking with the dead man she was also working through some very serious issues that she had in her own life by the end of the series she it sounds a bit trite to say that she had resolved all her issues but certainly she was in a good place and you wouldn't think there was more story so what they've done with the show is um they've reinvented it and it's now at the end was yeah because at the end of it at the end of the first series and this is no spoilers no it's not i know what you're gonna say was she co-opted into yeah it was like well you could you could have a future so was it not perfectly set up for her it was set up but it set up to be a completely different show in in the sense that she doesn't have her issues really anymore although and that provided a lot of the comedy as well she does have issues and kelly grokow is so funny and it's a star vehicle for her but as we move into season two cassie is in a much better place because she's i don't want to that would be a spoiler but she has resolved a lot of the issues that she had but as it she's moving into a new stage in her life where she's still a flight attendant but she now works for the cia and that's not a spoiler that was kind of set up at season one and sort of it's not a big part of the season one story but cassie being cassie is she's basically she's told by her handler you're just supposed to look at these people get some basic details do not engage these people do not follow these people what are the two things that cassie does engage and follows yes and of course by the end but the midpoint of this first episode i guess no spoiler someone has died she was there she shouldn't have been there it's out in public whatever so she lies about it but of course you can't really lie to the cia and you're not going to get away with it so by the end of the first episode she's in all sorts of trouble it's a different show but it has so many of the dna there the dna is there my only issue with it is and and they do a thing which i think is a little clumsy and that's just me being picky there's a point when she hits her head quite she falls or something happens she falls and then she's sort of back in that imaginary world that she was in and sees one it's like they contrived a way to put her into that thing again and i don't know do they need to do that but this time the person she's talking to is another version of herself so that's a spin on it but i would give this a thumbs up i would give the first episode about eight out of ten because it was fun i like this main character um i wasn't overly invested in the story but obviously we got to figure out over the next eight or ten episodes who who killed the guy and what's going on and it's going to be fun and i'm going to stick with it and i would like i think we were like that after the first episode as well because remember we were saying it was very much the way it was shot that you'd like the way it was shot because it's shot with like two and three cameras yes on the you know you're seeing very 24 you get to see like six and i remember saying it was a little bit erratic in the first kept all that in the very first episode of the first series but i really enjoyed it i actually had a set to download uh because it only just dropped last night on um sky atlantic after 12 o'clock so it was way too late way past my bed you didn't see any of it then yet no i've had set for the weekend it's down on my list of things to look out for people to catch up in it because actually what they've done is they've dropped the season two but you can actually watch it straight through so it's only eight episodes in each um in each season they're just uh just under an hour and they're it's definitely well worth the watch i'm looking forward to the second one like as you say kaley koo koo who's name i can't say uh it's not going to help you i know the big bang terry she's great uh she is awesome in it she really is she really is so good in it and and they wondered how good an actress is she from the big bang terry or the few things you've seen her in she's got the acu chops yeah she really does and they brought back her best friend the lawyer and they brought back the boyfriend they brought back some of the characters so they've come to be she's now living in la but they've come to visit her coincidentally at the same time as all this is happening but it's you want them back because so what are you giving the series two out of ten the first episode definitely in eight and i'll probably get better as i get more invested in the story eights hyphen it is yeah you watch the first one i loved i loved the first one i just thought it was really good and i found i wasn't sure about it in the beginning i remember after the first one yeah but then you just you kind of got invested in her because even though uh she was sort of so flawed as well as big but aren't we all it's relatable the thing it was just like it was a crazy and yet you were like yeah i could totally see how this particular i loved in this first episode last night where she's following the guy she's been told not to follow and she's wearing a bright red dress she stands out in the crowd and i was laughing it's obviously the point and i'm like she's terrible at this and so heart's good you mentioned it or i missed it is this available now all at once or weekly sorry oh it's all at once and you can start back at the first episode of the first series yeah and you should because the first series is as we were talking actually the important bits were coming back to me so i know i don't require a uh watch through but it's great isn't it the first season was great yeah it was really entertaining because it was unlike there was nothing else quite like that first season okay and if you watch pieces of her it's on netflix no yes did you yeah we talked about it yeah that's why i'm asking it is for me to me because i watched the first couple episodes yesterday and i enjoyed it right yeah so very good tonic she is but i wanted to sort of get an idea of what the plot was even though i knew what it was i just wanted to see what the plot description was so i um googled it as you do come up with id mb or amd b and rotten tomatoes really low ratings i i thought we were talking about that i think back at the time because some were some listener was watching it and i had watched a couple of them at that time i remember now yes it's very um is it good the whole way through because the first two episodes are really perfectly fine i yeah but that's kind of what you'd end up saying about it it's perfectly fine right okay i when i kind of i don't know those bits of it and you were like this could have been yeah it's where it's going sounds you know the way you're kind of like but then it kind of got a little bit predictable in in some ways right okay by the end of the the end of the whole that i was like i i did not enjoy it you know it's not a glowing yeah but it wasn't that's the kind of thing that it was 20% i'm what two of eight is what 20% 25% in it so i might as well stick it out now yeah i mean she's very good in it just kind of a few you know that's the kind of thing it is you you would like it you know what i mean you're never going to come away from it and say oh my god that was awesome but you're definitely going to give it like a six or seven you know that's right yeah and you're going to go yeah you're sitting around looking for something to watch it's worth watching yeah but what was put me off is a lot of people were saying the first two or three episodes were good then there's a bit of a switch and pace or something and they felt let down i think is that what you were saying i can't know i well i found it was in the beginning you see this is the thing you're kind of trying to figure out what's going on but it's one of those things where you can't you you fairly figure it out kind of by about four right you know that sort of say by four i'll be on six going what's going on here i was five four five you a good idea what's going on so but that's the thing so then and that's that and that's why you kind of end up in the end of it sort of fit no no it was grand okay you know but well you wouldn't have a huge hunger for a season two no it wouldn't there wouldn't be anything kind of wow about it that it's hard to make you think oh wow all right well we're going to come back with effectively what would be season eight i think of uh bosh i know um michael's a big fan you're a big fan of the books and the series it's sort of not i don't know reloaded i'll let you explain it

lincoln lawyer on netflix good so far but the jury's still out i hope it was intentional it could have been accidental but it could have been the lincoln lawyer is on your list it is because i wasn't too sure whether you see that i was going to be here so i was actually watching stuff that i really like to watch myself go well how long yeah what did you watch because i know i had i i was just about cakes it could be real things if you haven't watched that show you cannot judge it it's awesome is what my nephew watching it was cool yeah if you're watching things that you're in private that you're embarrassed to talk about but you're willing to talk about the cake show what the heck are you watching and if you describe things as cool you're not qualified to use that word do i know to me they're cool well what i did was i had because i don't know i was watching michael connelly i went completely michael connelly so michael connelly the author wrote both the lincoln lawyer and botch so that's the connection here yeah so it's the same they're a shared universe greg and you know the shared universe yeah of course eventually they will bring the multiverse into it and they won't really they don't actually really live in the same space do they yes yeah they meet up that's not a we're not joking oh no right okay well if anybody's read the book they will i won't ruin it in case it happens and either show that there's some sort of crossover but if anybody knows has read any of the books they'll know that there's actually crossover books so the lincoln lawyer film is this connected no yes the lincoln lawyer film was one of the first of michael connelly's books that's a great film by the way if anyone if one looking for a film for the weekend matthew mcconnelly yeah it's it's actually a really good film this uh the the series that they've done um is similar ish to the book and the film the story of it is you know it's all about some rich guy with more money than sense and being accused of of a crime and he comes into it and he takes over so it's it it's like a slightly similar team too but it is different it is different the basic story is different then or should i say the arcing story is different in it um it's over 10 episodes they've made a few changes with it it's all set in la he's this lawyer he's had his own problems and now he's kind of coming back to the law and he finds himself with this massive big celebrity public case on it and meanwhile he's also trying to you know help somebody that he feels was wrongfully convicted as well and all this kind of thing going down through he's also his own relationships and all that sort of stuff comes into it as well to be honest i did watch the whole lot of it again it was fine but if i was seeing to somebody oh you really should check out michael connelly's stuff or whatever if it's the lincoln lawyer i would tell you go back and watch the movie right the movie i thought was much better you haven't watched any of the series no i haven't seen the lincoln lawyer yet but it's very much of interest to me because bosh is still my favorite show on tv yeah and can i ask you finula and i know you're you you would separate this out but you can be loyal sometimes to books and they're authors i mean if i go in watching the lincoln lawyer on netflix and i haven't received read the book or i'm not familiar with the author well my expectations be any different to you also like i wonder is that in some way and if you haven't seen the movie in that kind of thing i mean in fairness mattie mcconnelly is a little bit kind of iconic in sort of the way he speaks in the way he does so then when you when you put somebody else into a role that in your head i found myself thinking more about that yeah in this the the leading man in it that that plays mickey haller the lincoln lawyer yeah he um he is supposed to be the son of this the of this once very famous uh lawyer in in la and now he's kind of trudging his way through it um anybody who's read the books anybody who saw the original movie would know that about it but then what they've done now in this is he is of mexican descent which i have to say it took me a little while to kind of get my head around it purely because it wasn't anything that was in the books within the original movie so it is possible that that has kind of taken away from me admit the there's a girl that plays his daughter in it i think she might be 25 right i'm not really sure it's going why is she 25 when she's supposed to be playing like a 14 or 15 year old okay so you're kind of like going oh she's been cast wrong like in other words in the program she's still a teen yeah she's a she's a she's like 14 15 yeah she's not yet 16 in the in the in the thing and yes i would definitely say the actress is 25 so there's a few little bits like that in it um you're one uh knave camber isn't that her name she's been the screams she's in a party five only really oh yeah party five loved it uh she's dreams she's the only thing she's been in she's the only one in it really that you'd have seen that you it's well for me anyways that i instantly recognize you know that had some level of star recognition in it but i like maybe if you went into it without any preconceptions i think it's an interesting story it is it is there is a lot of stuff happening in it it moves along there's a lot of different there was just a few things like a lot of the casting and stuff like that didn't work for me yeah but as you say maybe it's because i have previous stuff in my head yeah okay the lincoln lawyer is a good easy watch um one you can watch and leave and watch something else in between yeah that's probably but that isn't again not a glowing endorsement maybe i'm looking for the next big series and and these ones yeah necessarily yet you know well that they mean like the there's a good chance the flight attendant could be the net could be the i well the first series was yeah so the second one could hit you as well i mean i watched the other thing i watched in the micro comedy was the bosh legacy which is they i didn't think it was going to come to amazon so i was very disappointed i enjoyed bosh because i said i've read all the books still reading them because he's still he's still writing them um so i really enjoyed the books and i enjoyed the series i thought they really did a good job okay so let's talk about bosh because i want to set this up in my head right because i'm sure we've had this conversation yeah uh bosh ran for seven series on amazon yes now i'm sure it was michael not you for noona because you wouldn't make this mistake that you said that disney or something were taking it up or it was a reboot or something like that there but it turns out bosh legacy is on amazon yeah and it's it's the strangest one because they kind of gave it up and i don't we were under the impression that and both like and i heard about that it was going to one of these new streaming platforms that i think they're showing it on amazon over here but in the state sits on it was imbt i am i am dbtv well it's gone it's changed to free v they changed it to free v and it's now amazon free v so the difference for america is that they previously had to have an amazon subscription to see bosh but but bosh legacy is free yeah people with ads with ads with ads yeah but i am db over here the she is gone it bombed it really it bombed so right okay so that over here explains you're carrying it yeah so what they did and what they seem to have done with it was anybody again who's watching bosh is one of these characters he's this hard bit there's an alcoholic his wife's left him he's got family troubles well actually he's not an alcoholic no no no his wife his wife did leave but they need to leave more yeah they got back together they were on a friendly terms yeah in that way he's not he's more one of these guys you know like uh he everybody else is only doing it for the paycheck yeah he's got a mission he chews up the scenery though yeah i mean he does it so well i've always loved tight as well over in other shows back we do this to you love him love him to be honest now when i really like the box and when you see a minute he exactly what he does is exactly the characters in the box right in the sense like he's very uh you know everybody counts or nobody counts and he's the only one and everybody's wrong and anybody that breaks the law is totally wrong but he can break the law because he is working towards a greater good one of those you know one of those very defensive of him isn't it i love the character so if you're looking for actually just a good cop show to watch that there's plenty of it right you know one episode an evening going to bed or something because we watched maybe less tv in the summer bosh is there and bosh is excellent i enjoyed the first five now the only thing it says is that don't jump into legacy you are better off if you've watched at least some of the original series for the characters well for the characters but also there seems to be like even when it starts on the first episode it spends two or three minutes going previously on bosh okay so it's kind of so it's effectively season eight of bosh really i mean except for the fact that as i said he was a police officer he's been 25 years in the in the police he's always been the one that they've all been gunning for because it's not his fault he's just there with a mission you know the kind of way you should do the previously on i really should do the previously on um and he's uh but now he's left them he walked out and he is a private detective but there's a few there's a one story that his daughter is still in it uh money chandler the lawyer she's fabulous and but hey the everybody else kind of just drops in and out so occasionally you see some of the other characters that showed up that were technically friends of his although he doesn't really have friends he's a lone wolf and uh she really is looking for an oration she wants that job so bad at it i think i'd like it previously on bosh imagine and once you like it paid that guy that did big brother he got loads of money oh once your once your voice is associated with something yeah yeah it's totally to go into retirement just walking around going previously on yeah i get the feeling that someone doesn't want to be here like she's either talking about packing a cb or retirement so it's either my cb is going to be handed around at my funeral for people that's exactly because you're proud of it and it's been okay i've done this is what i did this is what i did with the x amount of years here's my listing i'm going to get through one episode of this without you talking about your exit strategy i don't have an exit strategy in particular for life but let's face it it's gonna happen at some point i like to be prepared clearly stay around as a hologram but i did look at so how far into boss legacy are you oh oh i went cracked okay i told you i didn't really enjoy you enjoyed it then there's 10 episodes and i got eight into it nearly in a row wow and then i realized you know what we all do the last i'm still waiting for the last two to drop and i'm like i totally wanted to know so it's obviously brilliant it's it well it's it's three arms it's done exactly in the same way as they did boss but that there's little changes and stuff like that and i really enjoyed boss yeah and i just i do like a police kind of procedural and that kind of thing great tv to be honest in that sense this the stories are always really good in this there's always two or three sub stories going on he never does it's worth pointing out it's not just michael connelly i mean i don't know about legacy but i presume it's the same creative people one of the the key creative forces behind boss is one of the guys who did the wire you know i mean there's there's a true line there of really top tier intelligent crime drama and that's of you know two seasons one coming to sky atlantic soon as well i just noticed from the wire people from the wire people as well mark higgins is watching us on facebook market good morning to you and everyone else watching with us as well and you can watch on our website now highland radio dot com uh lincoln lawyer excellent with one that emoji now i'm not sure what that is that's okay okay yeah better than okay oh yeah uh and and margaret's referencing the series there drop us a line if you're watching what you're watching i'll wait six sixty twenty five thousand right okay um so boss legacy big thumbs up again it's one of those shows does come up on this item now and again boss because you know it's a good show yeah right let's go to the cinema yes on kanian quinn yes uh this is the irish film the irish language film that's getting rave reviews uh not just here in ireland but anywhere it's screening and it's a multi award-winning film i went along to see it on tuesday i'm one of the lads from the d&d group dunce and dragons group he was his idea and we loved us we we completely yeah we loved it it's like somebody tells you it's like greg greg you are standing in a courtyard there's a door to your left and a door to your right you can hear a growling coming from the door to your right which door do you want to walk remember the dungeons and dragons game and i played it on the very first console which i think was it might have been a cartridge i don't think it was the commodore 64 it might have been the first sega but um there used to be a part of the game where you'd get to and it was like a turning wheel going up a tower and the wind was blowing and you had to stay against the wind but i think it was a fault with the cartridge it used to crash on that every single time so you never never got past it so i'm still stuck on the trauma stay where you are because i want to talk more about uh not dungeons and dragons but i just want to i don't want to hold bobby here because we could go on for a wee bit on that one uh bobby cunningham good morning to you bobby how are you getting on good morning greg and thank you so much for having me it's lovely to speak to you and you're speaking to us from a beautiful kill car and a lovely evening coming up on june 5th tell us a bit about it yes indeed greg just uh over the years there's so many people in our communities you know that deserve a little recognition for all the work that they do throughout the years and of course of course in the last number of years there some people have retired or moved on and and uh without acknowledgement of what what they've done over the years yeah the likes of andrew daherty our postman here he came here for six weeks way back and he ended up being here 40 years and kill car will do that to you though it catches you doesn't it yeah and then of course we had we had father eddie our parish priest that was here between the area at land column kill car he can ourselves here in kill car he was here for 35 years and now he's on he's moved on to let your mic award and it was just uh the other day there you mentioned a classical music concert in litter mic award on the fourth of june and i was just thinking if he goes to that and then comes to the blue heaven on the fifth of june for a country night that will test his musical preferences yes but exactly uh but listen it i think this is a brilliant thing to do it's called let's celebrate and thank knoll cullingham who you haven't mentioned donna gall person of the year currently as well andy daherty as you have local postman father eddie gallagher and it's a celebration of them it's in the blue haven kill car fifth of june music and dancing with red alert tickets only a tenor e as well and proceeds go to a charity which will be chosen by the three gentlemen in question this doesn't happen too often and i think it's something bobby we should see more of well i think so uh you know especially for you know there's certain people that that deserve a little recognition for what they do over the years and communities you know and i mean this is really just an acknowledgement of for these few people now i didn't mention knoll of course knoll uh 2019 that that we proposed knoll for donna gall person of the year and he's been the donna gall person of the year ever since he has been he has been but he's a great ambassador i must say he's a great ambassador for the county and and so yeah we're having that night in in the in the blue heaven and we have to thank terns and his team there for the facilities and that but now we don't have abba or brisk brinkstein you're talking about the red alert though it's the same thing we have red alert and they're a brilliant band so we just hope when everybody comes along and has a good night conversation a bit of a dance and a bit of fun i think it's going to be a packed brilliant night you know bobby not just from uh local people in kill car but for for the surrounding areas too because it's going to be fun you know you can you can be sure of that uh between the three guests but particularly know like it's going to be a fun night as well well exactly exactly greg that's that's what we're certainly hoping for a big crowd there's no doubt about that and yes of course it'll be a fun night with noel and full and full swing you know yeah okay brilliant stuff bobby we'll mention a little closer time to remind people how do they get tickets it starts at 8 p.m and by the way in uh celebrating these gentlemen you're also supporting charities of their choice is it i don't know would there be tickets available on the night i'm not sure how large the venue is or do people need to maybe make sure that you have a ticket in advance what's the best situation there bobby i know well it gets on on the door it's a big venue and there loads of tickets on the door greg so no then you needn't have any worries are you a bit of a singer yourself bobby would you i'm afraid if i start to sing i would clear the place well you can we can put you on just before closing noel can do the warm-up for you and you can bang out some bruce springsteen or something yeah oh well but uh yeah we're hoping we're hoping for a good night we're

were joined by bobby uh and kill cars love you but kill car is is i know i say this but it is really lovely part of the world the people are great all around there is part of my favorite places uh on kyleen kuhn tell us about this film uh the the critics absolutely love it the audience love it we were speaking to the producer last week yeah two weeks i heard that yeah you weren't here yeah but i heard it yeah it's really the week it is but you loved it as well tell us i loved it um it's got a hundred percent on rotten tomatoes it just means every critic as you say international international and i think this is going to be big because i i just think it's going to be a big film over the next 12 months it's going i hope it has real traction and does very well it's already garnered a lot of awards there was one festival here in irish when i forget it it beat belfast in every category except one i think script was the only one it's a magnificent film and it's it feels it falls right into my wheelhouse in that jokey way that we say it's a movie where nothing happens and nobody says anything and those movies can often be really really wonderful this but there's obviously enough in this because it's not a niche it's got broad appeal so it's got broad appeal yeah it's more than maybe your it's more to it than maybe your explanation would suggest oh yeah of course yeah it's a really profound and deep film and the story is that in 1990 in 1980 he's in everything in everything in 1981 storyline um and it's a large family there's a new baby on the way there's a quiet girl which is the name of the movie and she is kind of a bit more difficult than the other kids she does her own thing and we see her at school and stuff so the parents for the summer in the months leading up to the birth of the new baby they send her off to family to relatives down the country and the story is that summer summer of 1981 where she's staying with um they're described as an older couple um and down the country cousins of the main and that's really it and it's just the change that comes over that girl over the summer and the change that comes over the house all is not as it seems in the house where she goes yes yes there is a there is a wee thing uh of what might have happened in the house before she came and that comes up etc and in terms of the plot there's nothing very surprising in this you'll probably know in the first 10 minutes a lot of what happens but it's the beauty of the way the story is told it's the way it's filmed the way it's performed um and it will get you the ending will stay with you for a long time gets you in the feels it gets you in the feels and in and i one of the things i've seen on twitter a lot of people saying and it was true in our cinema in the cinema here locally when the movie was over everybody just sat there sat there nobody got up and there was a good crowd there on Tuesday evening but people just sat there and that's what i see um the director is on twitter he's liking all the comments he's responding to people about the film but that's the thing i've seen a lot everyone says yeah when this movie was over everybody was no it's not black and white but what they've done is they've they've shot it in the four three aspect ratio so it looks like a tv episode it looks like an episode glen roe from 1981 it's got that so it's a real box on the screen and it's such a wise choice it really it evokes 1981 perfectly and the characters are watching tv so you see them watching quicksilver and you see them watching old tv shows and you hear them listen to the the wireless you hear them listen to the the match you know it's just it the look and feel of this movie is perfect it's stay where you are stay where you are because as we do on a friday we get a weather forecast um from our friends at carloweather uh alan orreilly joins us now alan how are you getting on good morning to you good morning great right our expectations and in fairness you flagged this with us last week our expectations for this weekend are high they're not going to be disappointed what's the the weather for the northwest uh today saturday and sunday yeah well it it is going to be a settled spell of weather so we have high pressure over us um there will certainly be some some sunny spells but i'm afraid while mani in the north west might be looking at social media and seeing people like me in carol post and clear blue skies and getting the barbecue out it is going to be cloudier and it is going to be cooler in the northwest so that northerly breeze is going to keep temperatures probably back to 14 or 15 degrees possibly getting up to 16 degrees um probably the best temperatures maybe on sunday um for a time with the early sunshine but look it is going to be a nice weekend in the northwest it's just not going to be as warm and as sunny as as some other parts of the country but quite dry if you're in directs if you happen to get direct sunlight it'll feel warm but presumably out of the sunlight that wind will make it feel a wee bit well chilly but colder yeah exactly it will it will feel that bit cooler in the breeze especially near the coast um but as you say when you get the sunshine and there will be good sunny spells at times it will feel pleasant even though it's only going to maybe 14 or 15 degrees in the sunshine that will feel pleasant and and sunday morning does look absolutely lovely with the best of the sunshine probably early on sunday so it is going to be a nice weekend why does cloud tend to sit over the northwest more so than it might elsewhere is it being burnt off is it the geography what's the situation it's generally because we see the high pressure coming up from the south and it doesn't make it as far really so so the outer bands like the railway then a bit like the many things i think you could say in the northwest to be fair to you but yeah it's just a high pressure isn't quite brilliant right in over us so that's that's unfortunately why you will see a bit more cloud next week looking a bit uncertain it was anyway any more certainty is what we can expect through the week it's a very interesting setup from a weather forecast and point of view but that doesn't help people trying to make a forecast and make plans because there's still a lot of uncertainty it does look like it's going to turn more unsettled with more showers unfortunately and cooler and so temperatures struggling to get above maybe 12 13 degrees on the first couple of days of the week generally not too wet monday tuesday and maybe wednesday but there is a risk of some heavier rain coming in later in the week but huge uncertainty and i'm getting an awful lot of messages about the bank haul the weekend and it's really 50 50 at the moment greg and unfortunately it's very hard to call it there's a chance of high pressure coming up again but we could also see low pressure near boys so it's a really mixed bag in the forecast and at the moment i'm afraid all right enjoy the beautiful sunny weather in carlo allen thanks very much for your time as always cheers greg all right take care allen or riley there of carlo whether you can check him out on social media right okay so uh you're giving um you're giving this film a huge thumbs up because one of those that's going to stay with you by the sound it's will stay with me and i i look forward to seeing again if not in the cinema then on tv when it shows up i would heartily recommend it to everyone you would have to have a heart of stone not to be affected by this film right well over to you finula i haven't seen it yet i'm looking for finula has a big heart by the way it's all i don't it's all a knife yes i don't know but i haven't seen jeff but i'm looking forward to but i'm glad it's getting such good reviews because one of the things we talked about after you had spoken to producer was the fact that it is an irish language film and that you'd like to see that one of the platforms would take it up as well so that we would why wouldn't there be people in korea watching an irish language film in the same way as we watch korean language films or german language or polish or anything like that and and if it's getting that well received it's in with a very good in a way it actually makes it more consumable yes you know uh with it being subtitled you know i agree yeah okay there's not a huge amount of dialogue in it like there isn't it's it's a it isn't a film that's dialogue heavy yeah i just yeah exactly i'm going to say the same thing like you are making me feel like i don't want to see this and i don't know how that's happened because but i'm thinking i ain't going to see a square box with no noise and they're watching tv and listening to the radio why would i want to go and see that because your heart will go out to that wee girl you're also now i know once it's over i have to sit in the cinema for about five minutes taking it all in or i'll look like a heartless twat Greg he's got up as soon as the credit's done yeah you know he's standing up at the wrong time okay right no i mess uh okay that's in cinemas right now either of you looking forward to top gone i think it started last night we're currently and we're currently had a row about it because we're debating this debating turn around when i the last time we were sitting around we said oh i we saw the trailer came up and i was like oh my god i loved the original tough guy and it was just one of those movies when it came out that it was kind of like of of its time you know the way it's i think and it appealed to you know everyone oh well i mean you're a boys watch the girls what everybody could be talking about it because you had like all of the fighter things but then you had the love story and mech bikes and the whole thing and a bit of singing and the romance it was just it just had absolutely everything and at the time as well it was when everybody thought tom cruise was awesome i know people can be a little bit we all thought he was six foot two then as well it turns out he was i know it turns out shockingly he was not but in this he just uh so i'm really looking forward to this now next week i mean there are a few things that kind of upset me about it like he could come back into his original role but uh the kelly mcgillis kelly mcgillis was apparently too old to come back as his girlfriend and you're like that it's just typical but it's it's it's one of those films that the again the circumstances it's exceeded as people feel it's exceeded the original the debate is that you're not interested in it never saw the original never saw the original me didn't i didn't not interested at all can you be of a certain and not and it's got worn out videos of hameler anderson running around the beach in baywatch that's true the original soundtrack that's never watched top gun never watched top gun never liked tom cruise back then didn't like that i always thought it was a faking like risky business i didn't i saw that how was it like i saw that and that turned me off them they were all they were awesome no i can come here no i think this is actually quite interesting that if you actually go and watch it right yes it'll be a really interesting review if i'm not comparing it to if you chose to just go and see them just saying yeah because i was a little bit like that with sandra bullock i didn't like her in anything i saw gravity and now all of a sudden i'm like watching her and oh my god and i like her in everything except gravity i like her in everything i think gravity is a general movie it's a brilliant film who the hell throws what's his name out the door no it's a storyline person yeah it would have made more sense if she had thrown oh my god yeah that would have made sense she could have been a small window to she survives without oxygen she's the physics in the science of it it's a standard bullock she can do anything i don't care no i love her in everything except gravity listen thank you both very much all right pleasure to have you back in i really appreciate it oh wait six

Now, point-of-sale operators across the country under the auspices of the Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents of Nigeria Ambin have appealed to President Mohamed Abu Hari to prevail on the central bank of Nigeria's CBN to review the current threshold for daily cash maximum withdrawal upward. The national president of Ambin, Victor Alojor, who addressed journalists said over 1.4 million people will lose their jobs. The policy is not reviewed upward. In the letter to the president's data December 16, the group requested an upward review of the maximum withdrawal limit to 500,000 a week for individuals and 3 million therefore corporate organizations. Believe and key in to the cashless policy of the CBN, but the reality is that at this time, at this time, we stand more to lose than to gain with the policy and that's why we immediately came on top of it is that there is no clarification or clear distinction as to the role of mobile money and bank agent in the policy that was released. What that means is that if that policy is followed and followed in total over 1.4 million who are POS operators and their dependents and many other persons who are plugged into the value chain of our business will lose their jobs because 20,000 Naira would send us out of business if that is all we have access to in a day. In closing, I want to state very clearly that once again the association of mobile money and bank agent in Nigeria believes in the CBN and we actually support the cashless policy of the CBN but our appeal is that stakeholders should be properly engaged so that this issue can be better managed. The group said it had interacted with the Chairman, Senate Committee and Banking, Insurance and all the financial institutions, Senator Ubasani, his counterpart in the House of Representatives, Honourable Victor Ngokolo on the matter. Today a lot of agent locations we have stopped the U.S.S.D. transfer because this is what is leading our members to the prison. By the time you transfer to them, police will come the second day and arrest you to provide the person that transferred to you. So if you are now encouraging bank transfer, U.S.S.D. and all these channels transferred then the receiver of the money should not be at a liability. So what initiator? Because before you can initiate a transaction, you must have provided pain and password. So why should either receive such transaction be liable to fraud and arrest and police harassment?  So these are the necessary infrastructure that we expected CBN to have.
