The hydrogen evolution reaction, HER, is a half-cell reaction in water electrolysis that produces hydrogen gas. In industrial water electrolysis, the HER is often conducted in alkaline media to achieve higher stability of the electrode materials. However, the kinetics of the HER in alkaline medium is slow relative to that in acid because of the low concentration of protons in the former. Heterostructured catalysts, with synergistic effects derived from their heterogeneous interfaces, can provide multiple functional sites for the overall reaction process and have shown promise in enhancing the reaction rate by accelerating the Volmer step. This review summarizes the most representative and recent heterostructured her catalysts for alkaline medium, focusing on approaches for enhancing the reaction rate. The design principles for the future development of heterostructured nano or micro-sized electrocatalysts are also discussed.

We're going to talk retail because that holiday shopping season gave a huge boost to luxury retailers like coach parent company tapestry and Michael course but the big question is can those companies continue to climb when the days of going store to store for luxury items seem to be behind us during We're going to now discuss is Melissa Armo. She's the owner of stock swoosh and Melissa Gonzalez CEO and founder of lioness group Melissa Armo. Let's start with you. So last week tapestry reported better than expected earnings and they credit coaches strong holiday sales for the boost. What do you think is fueling the big resurgence of coach right now. Well I think that I wouldn't really call it a big resurgence. I would just say the stock is finally going where it really needed to go all along because it wasn't a downtrend for quite a few years there. And considering the bullishness in the market in 2017 it should have had a rally. It did but it really didn't turn into an uptrend until recently. I think part of the problem is that fashion the way people are buying clothes the fashion industry itself is changing and they have made a lot of acquisitions actually in the last few years. The Stuart Wiseman Kate Spade they've made a couple of good acquisitions. They need to start seeing the profits from those acquisitions because it's been a lot of money quite frankly. Well let's stay on Kate Spade for a second or two. Melissa Gonzalez would love to bring you into this. In terms of Kate Spade you know not doing too hot right now. I believe it's 7 percent sales decline last quarter. And so what do they need to do to turn that subsidy around as well. Sure. Yeah you've seen that same store sales decline but I think they still have work to do. I mean it's a transition to go from you know they kind of created the perception that they're a value brand and you wait for discounts. And so taking them out of department stores and away from wholesale and revitalizing that brand to stand alone and pay full price for it takes a little bit of time. I think the more they continue to do that it'll help. And yeah they haven't seen that strength yet but I think they're doing some innovative things like customization. Yeah. And it's really to work on setting that one apart within the group. And especially having that acquisition to go after a new type of consumer which is that millennial consumer that the brand had resounded with so well over time also. Yeah what do companies most of Gonzalez need to do to really reinvigorate that retail experience because I know at Lioness Group you work with the brick and mortar experience creating these experiential elements for these for these stores. But what can they do to actually get people to go back to shopping in person rather than brick and mortar rather than online. Yeah I think the more that they can do with customization and tapping to personalization and that high touch elements. I mean when they acquire higher end brands like a Stuart Weitzman or you know you kind of that's a little bit inherent to the customer that's there. And now you have this new creative director that launched something new in Beverly Hills and it's plush with beautiful carpets. So you kind of get that feel. The challenge is getting them in the door because you know you can buy any of these on Amazon. That's the problem. So if I can sit and buy now you may not get the you know right now you know fall 2018 like it's New York Fashion Week. It's great time to be doing this segment by the way. I don't know if you've heard that but you know tomorrow's last day of Fashion Week. But if I maybe can't get fall 2018 but I can get spring 2018 on Amazon. So how to get people in the door and that's the problem because Amazon is competing with it because it's more convenient. And that's why these retailers haven't been doing as well as maybe they would have done in a bullish market. But I think you know the more that they can do to build the brand right because there's a certain element of luxury that you don't go to Amazon for. So the more that they can continue to differentiate themselves in that way and again work on that mindset of they're not just a value brand. You're not just waiting for those discounts. You know there's some prestige in owning that brand and having that high touch experience and you can get people back in. Well there's another brand that's also trying to create that prestige awareness to it and messaging rather and driving it home because the awareness is already there. But Michael Kors how do you go up against the Michael Kors knowing that you've got Amazon in one corner you're trying to save them off. But you've also got Michael Kors that you have you've got to go up against most armor would love to. Well Michael Kors stock doesn't look that good to be honest with you. They just had earnings and they collapsed on the earnings stock gapped up on the earnings collapsed. It should have held. It should be over 70 right now. It was so close to that so close to that level on the earnings last week it didn't make it fell fell hard ever since. And that stock has been in the downtrend. I'd like it even less now that it gapped up on the earnings and fell last week. And that here's the problem with all of these Kate Spade store wise and all these stores. They've lost the exclusive exclusivity of it. The fashion is about oh I have a Kate Spade you know or whatever it's well that is being gone. And as far as high end high end fashion a three hundred dollar price point bag is expensive to some but it's not Chanel. So Chanel has that you know when you're paying a lot lot more but they have that whereas you don't go to Amazon and buy Chanel but you might go to Amazon to get course and you can get Michael Kors again on Amazon. So the big thing here too I guess recognizing the shift we know how many different e-commerce platforms are traditional in store platforms have shifted to an e-commerce strategy. Can they fill the gap with a substantiated e-commerce strategy given their historical brand you know come in store. We want to wow you with this this luxury appeal that we have. Can they fill that gap online. I mean there's a balance there of like what consumers go to online versus in store. I mean it's it's a it's a multi-channel experience in store again. That's why if they can focus more on that higher touch delivering what you can't do online making it personalized. You know maybe they work with integrating things like facial recognition. So when your VIP customers walk through the door you know them by name you know what they bought the last time you're really giving them you know something extra. So I think these brands need to invest in that. And then with Michael Kors getting Jimmy Chew I mean Jimmy Chew kind of opens up that opportunity to have that higher touch relationship as well because it's not as like commoditized as the Michael Kors brand has been. So you know they're talking about things with Jimmy Chew like maybe we have a replenishment program. And so I think it's still early. I think they're still like looking at what else they're going to be able to acquire to diversify. You know maybe they dive a little bit more into the men's market that seems some strength and they don't have a lot of exposure to that yet too. So I think the disappointing thing with Kors is that you have Michael Kors out there. He's the face of the brand. He's focused on that and he's still such an integral part of it. You would want to see more from the stock whereas some of these others like you don't you don't you don't think Kate Spade and picture in your head you think Michael Kors. Oh he comes right up. You know you can follow him on Instagram all of this. In fact I don't think they did a show. I don't think they did a show in the last week and I went to their show last fall in September. So you know fashion is changing and you know social media is great as it is and we love it is really switching the way people are spending money on clothes. Some things are good about it. Some things are not good about it. One quick question before we wrap. If there is an acquisition target on the table who do you think they might go after? Who would they pursue in this market right now? You know there's been talk as tapestry going to go back to considering Burberry. But I think it's you know looking at where they need exposure where they see growth. So I think it's brands that are going to give them more exposure to the Asian market especially in China. And I think with Michael Kors there's still some growth that they can have in the men's vertical. And so if they can find some acquisition targets in those areas it would help. Melissa any final thoughts before we leave here? I'd like to see more from Michael Kors this year in 2018. If the market is bullish and as far as TPR goes that's got to keep going. It's just right made the uptrend for the downtrend of the uptrend last week. It's got to keep rising, rising, rising. We've got to see more of the stock seen putting the money in. They put towards acquisitions to rising the stock price. It can't really drop much from here or it's going to be back in the downtrend again. Absolutely great to have you both here with us today. That's Melissa Armo owner of the Stock Swoosh and Melissa Gonzalez CEO and founder of Lioness Group. Great to have you both here with us on each other. Thanks guys. Coming up, Blue Apron shocked investors with better than expected sales. But is it enough to keep the struggling meal kit service afloat?


Medicine has a big data problem. National healthcare registries provide invaluable data about patients and the reasons why they visit clinics and hospitals. Unfortunately, there's so much of it, and relatively little has been done to organize it in a way that's meaningful for understanding patient experiences. That makes probing by traditional research methods virtually impossible. How are researchers addressing this problem? One team has drawn inspiration from genomics. Using an algorithm routinely applied to study co-expression patterns of multiple genes, they've identified patterns in the circumstances surrounding people experiencing a traumatic brain injury. This approach could help clinicians spot markers of an impending injury before it happens. The team started with population-wide healthcare data spanning nine years for residents of Ontario, Canada. According to that information, nearly a quarter million patients visited an emergency department or a acute care setting for a first-time traumatic brain injury, or TBI, during that period. Studies have recently established that TBI can be a result of various pre-existing conditions that can modify the risk of injury. These include depressive and substance use disorders, vascular disease, and medication effects, each of which can itself be affected by factors such as age and socioeconomic status. That makes for a vastly complex web of possible associations that is humanly impossible to untangle. Computationally, however, the task is feasible. For this, the team used an approach called multiple testing. As its name suggests, the techniques simultaneously test thousands of connections between bits of data and is normally used to identify significant associations in genetic research. Multiple testing grouped a total of 2,600 codes used by health care providers to classify patients' conditions into categories. Then, using factor analysis, those categories were whittled down to 43 that were significantly related to TBI versus non-TBI hospital visits. Sorted by effect size, the factors topping the list included those linked to environmental exposures, assault and child abuse, and the adverse effects of medications and drugs in the years leading up to TBI. These findings suggest that such factors could be critical in assessing patients' susceptibility to brain injury, and they point to the complexity of social circumstances surrounding an individual, but they're not necessarily definitive. Further refinement is needed to untangle the complex interplay of factors to better understand TBI in general. Still, the study has much to offer. The team's method provides a way of mining the piles of useful health care data to prevent injury and deliver precision medicine.


Hello and welcome to the session. This is Professor Farhad and the session we would look at an actual CPA simulation that was released by the AI CPA. The simulation is covered on the auditing and attestation exam. As always I would like to remind you to connect with me with on LinkedIn if you haven't done so. YouTube is where you would need to subscribe. I have 1600 plus accounting, auditing, finance and tax lectures. These are the courses that I cover including hundreds of CPA questions. On my website I offer additional resources such as multiple choice, true false, CPA simulations, exercises or quasi CPA simulation exercises, 2000 plus CPA questions as well as additional resources covering a lot of topics. In this simulation specifically we're going to be looking at the audit risk model but if you want to learn more about the audit risk model please go to my YouTube or type Farhad audit risk model to find the audit risk model that we're going to be covering in the CPA simulation. Let's take a look at the simulation and luckily not luckily the simulation does not have any exhibits so it's pretty straightforward in a sense that the information is limited to what you are giving here. Basically it's an exercise. When we talk about the simulation the simulation sometimes is no more than just an exercise from your college textbook. That's all what's to it. That's all what's to assimilation is. Best wood furniture and non-issure that produces wood furniture is undergoing gear to audit. The situation below described changes made during year two that may or may not contribute to the audit risk. That's why I told you it's going to be about the audit risk model. So if you don't understand the audit risk model I strongly suggest you view my audit risk model. Type Farhad audit risk model or go to my auditing course and you will find the audit risk model. For each situation select the impact if any that the situation has on the specific component of the audit risk model for year two audit. Selection may be used once more than once or not at all consider each situation independently. Now once there is tax just look at the tax. So basically they want you to know with that decrease internal control, decrease deduction risk, decrease inherent risk, increase control risk, increase deduction risk, increase inherent risk. What are we talking about here? We're talking about control risk, inherent risk and deduction risk. Those three together, those three together they represent audit risk. They represent audit risk. Now you need to understand what is control risk, what is inherent risk and what's deduction risk. Now if you don't understand those then you're going to be in trouble for the auditing exam like in big trouble because I can assure you the audit risk model, the audit risk model is covered. So for example do you know what a control risk? The control risk is the risk that your internal control does not detect, does not detect financial and statement. If we say that your control risk is high it means it's not good. It means your internal control you don't have good internal control if we say control risk is high. So if we say control risk is low it means your control risk is good. We can rely on it more than if it was high. Now inherent risk, you need to know what inherent risk is. I'm going over these very briefly. You want to go to my lecture before we answer the questions in order to really understand them. If you understand them you'll try to solve the simulation. So inherent risk is when the auditor in advance try to make a prediction where the misstatement is most likely or least likely to appear. What do I mean by this or to occur? For example, certain transactions are more likely to have mistakes. Like what? When you make an estimate, when you make an estimate you are simply making an estimate. You're making a guess. When you make a guess there's a good chance you might make a mistake even in good faith let alone make an mistake on purpose which is either make an error, an error or worst committing fraud. So the inherent risk is for example if you have complex transaction there's inherent risk. Certain accounts are more inherent than other, maybe cash because it's subject to theft. For example, if you have derivatives, complex financial instruments, guess what? These accounts are inherently risky because they're complex. So when we say inherent risk is high it means there's more risk. If we say this account inherent risk is low then there's less risk. And detection risk, what is detection risk is the risk of not detecting an error. What does that mean? It means you do your job but there's still risk of not detecting an error. So if you want to reduce that detection risk what do you do? You do more work. So if you want to say I want to reduce my detection risk as low as possible well guess what? If you want to reduce your detection risk the risk of making an error do more work. It's as simple as that. So these risks are but when you get to the exam you have to know what they are and you have to apply them immediately in a problem like if you are prepared this should be walk in the park in my opinion if you know the audit risk model but let's go over it to see how it works. In year two the auditor noted that the company's newly hired purchasing agent was not obtaining competitive bids on all major purchase requisition as required. Here we go. This is the situation. This is what you know now that the new purchasing agent is not obtaining competitive bids. Is this detection risk? First of all is this a detection risk, inherent risk or control risk? Well hopefully you know that if your purchasing agent is not having competitive bids it means they can select any purchase, any supplier they want to. It means you don't have good internal control. What does that mean? You don't have good internal control. It means it has to do with control risk. Is your control risk higher now or lower? Well guess what? It's higher because this individual I'm not saying I'm not saying they're doing anything wrong but they have the potential. If they're not obtaining competitive bids they can buy from any supplier they want therefore it's a control risk and it's going to increase the control risk. Now if you are told the opposite, if you are told we did not have competitive bids and now we do then that's going to reduce the control risk. It means the company have more control in terms of protecting their finances. So we're going to increase control risk because of that. And the good thing about this simulation each scenario is independent. So if you get the first one wrong you might get the second one right. Early in year two the company expanded its warranty program to cover additional major product in an effort to increase sales. So what they did is they increased their warranty program. Now is this a detection risk? Not really. The risk of not detecting error that has nothing to do with detection risk. So that's out. It's either control risk or inherent risk. Well we're not talking about any controls here. All what happens is the company is increased their warranty period. That's all what they do. And guess what? They increase their warranty period when they expand their warranty. Their warranty expense will have to be generally speaking will have to be increased. Warranty is an estimate. What happened now is you're making more estimates. As you make more estimate inherently the account becomes inherently more risky. Therefore what's going to happen is the inherent risk and the audit risk model will increase. Therefore it's an inherent risk and it's an increase in inherent risk. That's done. This one here. The audit partner decided that the audit team needed to perform additional test of details over payroll in addition to the substantive analytical procedure done last year over payroll. Okay. What are we saying here? We're saying that last year when we audited payroll we performed substantive analytical procedures. So we went and we did some analytical procedures. How many employees do we have? What did they earn per hour? What's the overtime? And we computed the number to make sure we are in good shape. This year what the audit says and the audit partner said now, we want to do test of details. We want to pull transaction, we want to test transaction over payroll. What is that going to do? First of all, once you hear the word test of detail, that's substantive testing. It means we are doing more work. It means we are trying to reduce our detection risk. Remember, if we do more work, the risk of making an error should go down. Okay. So it's not control risk because control risk has to do with the company. It's not inherent risk. You know, payroll, we don't care whether it's inherent account or inherently risky account or not. We're talking about doing more work, more test of details. So it has to do with our detection risk. Are we increasing our detection risk? Are we increasing our detection risk, the risk of not detecting something? Or are we reducing our detection risk? Here we are reducing. Why? Because we're doing more work. You do the less risk you are taking. Your detection risk goes down. Okay. In year two, the company budgeted for the creation of an internal audit department, which will commence operation in year three. What is the effect? Now, what is the effect in year two? Because you have to be very specific. The effect is on year two. There's no effect on year two yet. That's good news, but there's no effect on the audit for year two. For year three, if you are asked for year three, what do you think will happen? I would say if I have to guess, my control risk will go down. If they have an internal control audit department now, well, they have additional checks and balances within the company, which is good for you because as an auditor, the control risk should go down. But for year two, there is no effect because it doesn't take place until year three. But in year three, when we are giving this information, this should reduce our control risk. But in year three, the question is about year two. Okay. In January, year two, the corporate controller implemented a supervisory review of all internally prepared reconciliation. Wow. So we prepared reconciliation, but now we're going to, somebody's going to review the reconciliation. The auditor determined that the controls are designed and operating effectively for the period. Well, guess what? If they're doing more work, if the company is doing more work to protect their system, to protect their accounting information system, to protect the integrity of the transaction, it's good for the auditor because the control risk will go down. The control risk will go down. Why? Because now the company itself, they are trying to do properly perform their transaction, which will, should give me less work because it's not only they're doing reconciliation, they're asking somebody to review all internally prepared reconciliation. So that's basically a good news for the auditor. It makes their job easier. Why? The control risk should go down. So the control risk should go down, decrease in the control risk. As I mentioned from the beginning, each individual situation was independent. You should be happy to get a simulation like this. If you are comfortable with my audit risk model, if you, if you are comfortable with this lesson, this is easy. I'll bring it on. As always, I would like to remind you, you only study for your CPA ones. Invest properly. Subscribe. Go ahead to my channel. Subscribe. You'll have access to additional resources, practice, multiple choice lectures. Study hard. I'm always here to help you take this seriously because it's going to pay dividend in your career. Good luck.


Hi, I'm Stu Miniman with theCUBE, and we're here at the Winslow Technology Group, Dell EMC User Group, happy to have on the program one of the users here at the event, Andrew Baxter, who's the director, Systems Engineering with Commonwealth Financial Network. Andrew, thanks so much for joining me. Thanks for having me. All right, tell us a little bit about your organization and your role there. Certainly, Commonwealth Financial Network is an independent broker-dealer. We have a network of roughly 2,000 advisors throughout the country, just based in the U.S. right now, and that's what we do. We're a clearinghouse for them. We provide all their IT infrastructure for them. Okay, the good news is that financial, like most industries, isn't going through any change today, right? Oh yeah, absolutely, no. We've got the Department of Labor's our big bugaboo right now. Yes, what are some of the biggest challenging is regulation, is it uncertainty, is, you know, technology, what are some of the drivers for the business? It's a combination of both. We have a lot of issues with regulation because of such people as Enron and whatnot. Smartest people in the room, right? Exactly, and it's not, the regulation's not a bad thing. It's just can be problematic to work with. So the most recent one is the Department of Labor where they have decided how your retirement funding can be managed and to make sure that there is no conflict of interest. Okay, so yeah, we're not going to get political here and go into how much government and everything like that. What does that mean to you all? Tell us a little bit about what you manage and really from the standpoint. So my group is responsible for our virtualization, our server platform, all of our storage, our data protection, be it backup, anti-virus, things like that. So we've got several different systems from a performance standpoint, and then we also have things from a compliance standpoint. A lot of worm drives in the form of Centera or Hitachi Content Platform, and then the storage that goes around that and the applications that go with them. All right, well, you've got one of the hot button topics, security, tell us a little bit about, there's the compliance and the security. How is that impacting what you're doing these days? So there's sort of two different things. Compliance is one thing, maintaining your compliance with security level. We have a whole group, two groups actually, independent of each other that sort of check each other and then check us to make sure that one, we're keeping the patch levels up, but also that we're following best practices to try to keep the bad guys out. We, I think everybody knows that you can't keep them out if they really want in. It's really comes down to how you're going to react, and so we've got to make sure that we have the tools in place to be able to react appropriately. Yeah, one of the things we've been looking at is security used to just be, oh, the networking people take care of it, or we put up some firewalls, we do some things. Now, security, a lot of times, getting up to the board level type of discussion, what's the dynamic in your organization? Yeah, so we do have the traditional on the network side, but we have a group within that that is specifically focused on that, and it's more than just the network side of it, and then we have the information security group, and that's more the board level where they're helping to define what types of data are critical. Personally identifiable information, we have HIPAA, other regulations like that, FINRA, the SEC, that we have to make sure that we secure your information as well as possible. Okay, what brings you to this event? So we've been a customer or a partner with Winslow, I like to think of my vendors for lack of a better word as partners, I don't want to just use them as somebody I call when I need something, I want them to be somebody who is involved in the process, whatever that may be, and in this case, right now we're currently using them for all of our virtual desktop infrastructure from the storage, the server standpoint. We're using some Dell products for wireless and things like that, and then as the time goes on and we start to do more refresh of equipment, then we're going to be looking at all the vendors and not just the traditional ones. So you get the big three, sort of HPE, Dell, and Lenovo in the server market or UCS as well. So we're gonna make sure that we look at all of them and see who has the best offering for us for what we need. Okay, what about cloud? How does that fit into your organization? Do you have, you know, cloud means many things to many people, but what's it mean to your organization? What's the strategy look like today? So we have two situations. One, we are actually a cloud for all of our advisors. We provide them with their exchange, their active directory, their antivirus, their patching, things like that. And then we're also looking at the Azure and the AWS offerings. We have to be very careful as we move to those offerings we have to make sure that we retain the security level when that data leaves our hands as it were. The financial markets tend to be a little slow moving to that kind of stuff because we've got very sensitive data that we've got to make sure that doesn't go away. Doesn't get breached and doesn't become generally available to the world. Yeah, talk to us a little bit about what data means to your organization. Of course, securities piece. How are you, are there initiatives to leverage data more? You look almost like a service provider. Sure. We've seen many organizations that leverage that kind of technology. So one of the, there's a couple different ways we do that. One of them is the actual software we've written for our advisors to use. So we're providing them with all the information they could ever want about their clients, the performance of the portfolios, things like that. But then there's also, on the other side, we're starting to look more into the Power BI, that kind of information so that we can start leveraging sort of paying more attention to how our products are being used in a more proactive manner, instead of reactive. Okay, curious how things like hyper ledger and blockchain, you know, play into, it doesn't play into anything you're doing today. What is your organization looking at? Not currently, it will be down the road, I'm sure. But at this point, it's not something because we really just haven't moved anything out to that area yet. Okay, great. I want to give you really the last word. What do you kind of, when you come into an event like this, what are you looking for? What do you hope to take away from this? I'm looking for what's new. What's coming, I need to make sure that I'm trying to stay ahead of things. Because part of what we have to do is we have to set the tone for what's going to be coming in the coming years. And so I don't want to just see the same old thing. And that's one thing I like about Winslow. They do keep on the cutting edge. They do keep forward. They've got cloud, for lack of a better term, as part of their portfolio. And I feel that they actually know what they're doing. I have worked with some vendors that, they could spell the word, but that was about it. So, absolutely, the cloud washing, if you will. Yes. All right, well, thank you so much for joining us. Appreciate the updates on where all of this technology fits into your environment. And you've been watching The Cube.


Morning, Bobby. Morning, Mr. Johnson. Folks looking good. Thanks, I put a lot of work into it. You're heading out, too? No, I just got back. By the way, look out, I saw a bunch of deadheads out there. Thanks, but I never hang out with deadheads. No, not teenagers. These are locks that merge just below the surface. Look out, they're really dangerous. All right, got it. I'll just go ahead out, have some lunch, and then head back in. All right, be safe. Bobby. Yeah? Don't forget the life vest. All right, got it. Thank you. Please send someone to rescue me today. I'm in Jesus Christ. Amen. Sure you already know this, but you're... I think it was, like, two days. Can you tell me what happened? I was rushing back to Port. I swear I've missed a floating log, and the next thing I know, I wake up floating in the water and my boat's just gone. How did you find me?  We better keep pluggin' along if we're gonna get you back to some help. She didn't look like much, isn't very fast, but she'll get us back to the land of the livin' safely. I'm thank you. So how long will it take us to get back to shore? What was that? How long will it take us to get back to shore? Not sure. Is it the fastest it can go? I expect we'll get back before sundown. Not sure exactly. He was my grandfather's. Did you know you sprung a leak? We're not gonna sink. This boat's been through a lot. She might seem old, but she's reliable, strong, like me. But if there gets to be too much water for you, I'll get you a bucket and you can start bailing. You can't go any faster. Always gets me where I need to go. Faster's not always better. Besides, no crackers. What? Never mind. Don't know anything about coat hackers. I don't waste time on the internet. Who's that radio to call for help? No signal for years. I'm all the help you need. We'll be just fine. I'll be better off on my own. Sit down. You need to stay warm. A storm is coming and there's no way to smoke and make it through it. We'll be back on shore in plenty of time before that storm ever hits. I'm not sure I believe you. I know how to get you back home. I've been fishing at this boat and in these waters all my life and I've always made it back home safely. No thanks. I'll be better off on my own.


What's up everybody Ricky Kruth here the first completely free real estate coach trying to bring you more value than anybody else on the Face of the planet today. I want to talk about a deal that I lost this week $600,000 cash deal It was a cash deal It was a big house and I lost it right it was supposed to close this week I've already put the work in already listed it tried to sell it for probably six months Finally got a contract on it get all the way down to the week of closing and boom it falls through So I want to tell you what happened I want to give you my thought process behind it and what I'm doing to move forward to continue to use this to be more Productive because that's what it's all about when you lose a deal It's about what did you learn from it and how can we spin this into a positive? Direction to produce more help more people and put ourselves in a better position right because a lot of people take a lost deal and they talk about it and All they all they're doing is hurting their business right their business is going to dwindle their business is going to suffer Because you are sulking when you could be spending that time thinking about the positive Spin-offs that you could take from that lost deal and apply it to your business to grow even faster when you lose a deal It's actually a good way to multiply your business Okay, so normally what I say is is when you lose a deal. What do you get you get future time back that you can Go do five more deals. That's kind of one of my big Philosophies right behind the zero to diamond program and I think it's huge because a lot of people take that lost deal Like I said, they saw it instead of trying to figure out how to create more business with that same time that you could have spent on That deal right because we need when you lose the deal You you also got the future time back that you would have spent signing the listing going to the closing showing the properties Negotiating open houses all the stuff that you do you just got all those hours hours and hours and hours back Now you can go do more business however on this deal I didn't get future time back necessarily because I'd already put all the time in and it fell through at the last moment Okay, so it fell through because the buyer You know and the seller didn't see eye-to-eye on something it was more of a personal vendetta kind of thing It was like a principal right they backed out because a principal the buyer walked away because they didn't see eye-to-eye With the seller on something and it didn't work out Not getting going to get into all the details But it just didn't work out and it wasn't really over anything in the deal was just that the buyer Didn't see eye-to-eye with the seller on something the seller didn't see eye-to-eye with the buyer on something It just kind of fell apart nothing I could have done I did everything I could do to keep it together But in the end you can't control the results and that's why I say do not tie yourself to the results because You can't control it all the way to the end. You're not in complete control So just do your best if it closes great if not let's figure out how to create that positive spin-off So I can't get the future time back because all the time I spent on it was past time that I lost Okay, so how do I look at it now from this angle moving forward? Relationships over transactions. I've created such a deep relationship with the seller when the deal fell apart There's no question that he's going to continue to allow me to market that property until it sells What did I do? We got another sign to put in the back of the house now I just paid for drone footage of the house, right? I'm adding marketing material to the situation and this is after he said that you know He's going to definitely allow me we didn't even talk about canceling or taking off the market or letting another agent List or anything like that's never even been brought up And so what I want you to get out of this video and this loss that I had is That when you value relationships over transactions and you lose the deal You haven't really lost anything because you're still going to get the deal later It just got prolonged if you created that deep relationship, okay? Now you can't do everything right sometimes the relationship is just not there and you didn't create a great relationships Because you pretty much maybe didn't get along for whatever reason it happens and they may take the listing away from you That's fine, too. That is future time because now moving forward I have to do things set up the drone get the get the sign out and back set up more showings negotiate more deals There is future time now that if he did take that listing away from me at this point I would only have past time that I lost which is fine. You have to risk time to succeed You have to risk time and be okay with the fact that you might lose time invested over Trying to succeed right there you have to take that risk And so if I did lose all that past time it did come down to the closing He did take the listing from me because we didn't really get along as well as I thought we did I would have to say to myself at that point. Okay, cool I just got all this future time back of this second half of the listing, right? so there's always a positive spin off losing the deal and It's not hard to find either Just most people only look at the negatives and let that hold them back when they should Let it move them forward if you will so anyway, I just wanted to share this with you It was it was a big loss. I did hurt for a second. I gave myself five minutes to think about it I thought about all the positive spin-offs that came out of it and how good of a relationship I built with the seller and Just super happy and grateful to to be here to be in the position to lose the listing In the first place because guys if you're not losing listings, you're not getting any listings I mean, that's just the bottom line. You're going to lose deals. That's inevitable. You can't prevent Any losses it's going to happen and the bigger and the most success that you have the more deals You're gonna lose so remember that don't let it hurt so bad find that positive spin-off and Let me know what I can do to help you and take all that negativity and put it on me Take all that negativity and let me carry that on my shoulders on Ricky Kuru's shoulders Let me take it for you so that you can see the positives and keep moving forward to multiply your business at a loss deals So hope you got a lot out of this video. Shoot me comment below and let me know what you think Let me know what other videos you want me to make and anything else in the world I can do for you hit me up on Instagram at Ricky Kuru's. We'll talk to you soon You


Vegetarian Terrorist Propaganda? What the? Vegetarian Terrorist Propaganda? So, if you haven't heard, Viva, an amazing vegan animal charity, had their advertisement aired on national TV. Whenever someone is reminded of the truth about their food choices, they always seem to get a laugh and arms about it. So we thought we'd go with a report from one of the most reputable newspapers in the world. Very esteemed paper here, so be prepared. The Daily Mail. Their headlines are always great, aren't they? They're just great clickbait. I could learn a lot from this clickbait actually for the YouTube channel.  Backlash a controversial vegan TV advert in which a couple receive a live pig and the weapon to kill it as a takeaway order. It's interesting.  It's okay to show butchery adverts with hacked off pieces of meat whilst getting cut with a meat cleaver. But you know, showing a live animal and a meat cleaver one step too far. What we're gonna actually do is we're gonna go through this article. We will review the advertisement and see how controversial it really is. And then we'll go through the comments because the comments are the juiciest parts, aren't they? Really, so stay tuned for that. Let's see what everyone's complaining about. Hmm, try vegan. I want meat. Just meat. Sounds good. Poor pork. I'm so hungry. I could eat a horse. Just meat, live it fresh to your door. Piggy! With a free gift, find new customers. Try going vegan today.  It was actually really cleverly done. I'm actually really impressed with that 30 seconds and it just had a really strong message but like it was more cryptic. It was like there's the piglet, they want pulled pork, here's a meat cleaver. It's very mild, very TV-ish. It wasn't like violent or it was just, it was just suggestive. A controversial advert by vegan campaign group Viva has sparked fury from meat-eaters as it seeks to put them off by showing a live pig delivered at the door as a takeaway. The hard-hitting clip shows the pair lounging on the sofa with their dog before deciding to order a pulled pork takeaway from the fictional app, Just Meat.  Very clever. Moments later, a delivery man arrives at the door with a live pig and a meat cleaver ready for the couple to use who look back at it with disgust. Like most meat-eaters do, when you show them the reality of where their meat comes from, most people don't want to know about that, they want to keep their head in the sand. Viva itself has described the 30 second clip as controversial. Well, the thing is the topic of eating meat is always going to be controversial when you're telling people to stop doing it. If you're telling people to eat meat in a more humane way, you know, treat the animals better, that's not controversial. You're not going to get controversy and people debating. When you tell people to stop eating meat that it's wrong, you're always going to get controversy and that's probably why Viva agreed it was controversial. And users online weren't pulling any punches either.  Vegetarian terrorist propaganda? What the? Vegetarian terrorist propaganda? Offcom, I think Offcom are like a standard that TV have to adhere to or something, Offcom standards.  Meat advert? Oh, you know what? Like every time I turn on the TV, there's adverts for meat constantly.  Dairy is healthy, this and that. No one complains about that. Offcom, where were you when you were telling us to eat meat and dairy and eggs constantly? And all this nonsense farming propaganda on your little farming TV show saying, look at this humane dairy farm and look at this humane meat industry and the poor farmers and this constantly propaganda on the other side, right?  Forcing this down my throat. Oh my God, this is vegan terrorism. Calm down, Andy Pike. God, you'd be fun to have at a party. Matt B added absolute state of that just meat Viva vegan propaganda advert. Matt B, have you seen the state of television lately? How many meat, cheese, milk and egg adverts on then? You don't call that propaganda, like such hypocrisy. And Adam Sturdy tweeted at channel four, what the F was that advert?  There are children watching FFS. Yeah, the same children who eat the pigs that the parents feed them. And they don't even know at half the time that it's a real pig, you know, that they're eating or a real fish or a real chicken, like, come on. And Adam Sturdy, oh, I'm a vegetarian, but this is just offensive. Well, why are you vegetarian for health reasons or something? Like, why would you think that that was disgusting?  Have you seen what your society participates in and defends? That advert was nothing compared to what actually happens in factory farms and slaughterhouses across the world and in the UK particularly.   It didn't have no violence in it, it just was suggestive. God, if you wanna shield children from that but you have children on TikTok listening to nonsense constantly and children are being propagated lies by the meat industry constantly and no one talks about that. And you're worried about this advert, wow. You should shield yourself from the world, Adam Sturdy, because mate, there's a lot worse things out there than this advert, that's for sure. But not all viewers were critical. A Twitter user by the name of iHeartVegan wrote, wow, whoa, did anybody else just see the Viva advert? Amazing work, guys, getting that out. Wow, really powerful, Viva advert, hashtag go vegan. Well, we got the vegan supporting it, of course. But anyone who doesn't wanna change is gonna come out with negativity, aren't they? The thing is about this type of advertising is the people who were just, who took the message on and actually kind of got something from it aren't the ones who are gonna comment with negativity and backlash. It's always gonna be those sort of meat eating snowflakes who are like, oh my God, don't tell me not to eat meat, don't tell me the truth about where meat comes from. It's always gonna be those who are more vocal. So you're gonna see those negative people way more vocal than how it really affected people in reality. So you might have this large percentage of people who just watched it and had a seed planted and didn't really get upset about it and just thought, oh, wow, that's interesting, yeah. But then you get all these people who, the most vocal, who were like, making it seem like more people were upset with this than actually were. Speaking about the TV advert, Viva founder and director, Juliet Galatly, now Juliet said, to be a catalyst for change, we recognize that we must stay ahead of the curve with our messaging to have the biggest impact and reach as many people as possible. By broadcasting our first ever TV advert on mainstream television, we're hopeful we can give veganism the airtime it needs. Most people in the UK despise cruelty to animals, yet simply don't make the connection between animal cruelty and what is on their plate. Very well said, Juliet. A Channel 4 spokesperson said, we believe it's up to our viewers to make their own judgment about the adverts they see across Channel 4's platforms. Good on your Channel 4.  God, if that's what you're worried about, children watching, it's just a bunch of crybabies really.  Really, that advertisement had a much better message for your children to be hearing, like care about all animals, don't have selective compassion. Think about where your food comes from. Don't you want your children to be educated or do you want them to join you in the dark and not know anything and live in ignorance and then be completely hyper offended when anyone mentions anything close to the truth? Like, come on, I want a more progressive world where our children understand these things and make up their own minds and not be shielded by reality. There was nothing wrong with that advert, nothing wrong with it, it was absolutely epic. It was good, it was really clever. If you want to have some fun, go through the comments. That's what I do, that actually, that's what I do on a Tuesday, is go through upset snowflake meat eaters comments. Wow, interesting, and they call vegan snowflakes. At least we've got something to actually be offended about, like the systematic torture and slaughter of billions of animals, which is like a serious, serious issue. But you all get, I'm not saying all meat eaters are, look, there's plenty of reasonable people who eat meat and just are learning along the way. So this is just for the ones who pretend to be outraged at it because they don't like having their dinner ruined. Vegan TV advert, oh my, with a pig, whoever passed this TV advert to be aired is not a good person. Do you hold the meat industry to that same standard? I hope you do.  It's not my job to process the meat that I eat, thanks. That's what slaughterhouse processing jobs are for. Move along please.   You just like to be completely disconnected from the process and pay someone to do the dirty work. It's very disheartening to hear that people are fine to pay someone else to do cruel things to animals that they wouldn't otherwise do. Ribble V says I'd happily use the cleaver. No dramas, meat is meat, nom nom nom. And then we got a hero here.  Wow, you always get one of the heroes who like trying to be tough and like, yeah, man, I'm so cool. I'd use the cleaver on an innocent pig. I'm just the coolest, toughest, funniest person in the whole of the internet. Meat is meat, nom nom nom. So if meat is meat, you'd be happily, you would happily eat a human child. If meat is meat, you'd happily eat, you know, anyone that's been hacked up with a meat cleaver.  One of your family members, meat is meat. You don't actually care about what's moral as long as it's made out of meat. Wow, that's pretty cool. Don't really want you in the society that I'm living in. GB says now is a very good time to launch an app called Just Meat. So someone here is a very pro meat, a very pro, the torture and slaughter of billions of animals. You know, a lot of these people, they haven't stepped foot inside a slaughterhouse or a factory farm and smelt the fear in the blood and looked into the suffering eyes of these animals. They're just like sitting back from their computer, you know, trying to be funny and tough and heroic. So KT94 says, wow, I'm a vegetarian. I even think this is propaganda. And wow, thanks KT for your input on that. Like maybe KT would rather that the torture and slaughter of billions of animals continued maybe as a vegetarian. If you think that that's propaganda, right? Just telling people, hey, stop eating pigs. Yeah, and we even have an agenda. Their agenda is to help animals and to have the public stop causing the horrors that happen to animals across the world. And all the meat adverts have an agenda too, to keep you blinded, shielded and consuming all of those products. And as a vegetarian, you're supporting the dairy industries and the egg industries who torture and slaughter animals in the UK as well.  You care more about eating your cheese and eggs than you do about the lives of egg layer hens and dairy cows. So I wouldn't expect you to be on board with it. DM and Dumber says, Dumb and Dumber, what's the matter? Can't people handle the truth? That's the smartest comment I've heard from Dumb and Dumber. Wow, isn't that? Dumb and Dumber's smarter, more rational than the rest of the commenters. Thanks, Dumb and Dumber.  Pigs are slaughtered at five to six months old. They're like infants when they're slaughtered in gas chambers or electrically stunned and stabbed in the throat.  At least you'd know it's fresh. This has got 1,400 likes. So if it's fresh, that makes it moral, ethical, fine to do, just as long as they slaughter anyone, any animal, quickly and eat them almost immediately, at least you'd know it's fresh. Very interesting way to navigate morality. Note that vegans cannot convince us meat eaters based on taste alone, okay? What about morality? What about what's ethical? Like, do you think that your taste preferences matter more than an animal's life matters to them?  Have you ever thought about that? No, you ever weighed that up? If people don't understand or can't accept that eating meat means that an animal was killed, then you shouldn't be eating meat and need a dose of reality.  But I agree, people need to know where their food comes from and don't need to go, oh my God, children are watching this. Children are seeing like a meat cleaver next to a pig. This is horrible.   Have you seen the desperate attempts by the meat, dairy and egg industries to keep us consuming meat, dairy and eggs? Constantly ever since I was a kid. Burger adverts are beef, 100% Australian beef and British bacon and oh my God, free range eggs and all of this milk and dairy and cheese and put cheese on everything can like meat, dairy and egg industries spend way more in advertising than vegans ever could. How often do you see a vegan advert on TV? Not often, all right, because we don't have the same type of funding as the meat industry do. This is the thing. People like to be told good things about their bad habits. They like what they do to be validated. They don't want anything that goes against their habits. So if something's like telling them that part of their culture and habit is wrong, then they don't want to hear it. They'd rather stay in the dark and stay comfortable.   Luckily we're stuck on this massive country called the UK and we've got choices to make, don't we? We're not in some situation where we don't have a choice and all we've got is a meat cleaver, a pig and starve to death, right? We're in the UK. You've got some of the best vegan options on earth and fruits, vegetables, grains and rice and beans, some of the cheapest foods in the supermarket. Or you've got all the fast food places where you can get something vegan. You've got all these healthy options to get something vegan. You've got all of these restaurants to get something vegan.  Very different situation. Talking about a survival situation. People have been known to eat each other in survival situations. So all morality goes out the window when you're in a survival situation, doesn't it? All right, and finally we've got Richard. This is probably one of the most intelligent comments I've ever heard. It says, if you think we shouldn't be eating meat, start from your front teeth. Number one, then count back to position three. One, two, three. Put your finger between the top and bottom teeth and bite down hard. They are your incisors designed for ripping and tearing.  They have exactly the same design. Wow, Richard. That was intelligent. One, that is not an incisor. That is a canine. I think the word you're looking for was a canine. I believe the one next to it is an incisor. This is Richard's evidence that we should be slaughtering billions of animals and eating them. Bite down on your thumb. Can you feel that? Wow, they're for ripping and tearing.  They have the same design. So your dog, right, licks their own balls, licks their own bum, walks around naked, barks at neighbors, right?  They will drag in a dead bird or mouse. So you're saying that we should just mimic what dogs and cats do, domesticated animals do. Have you seen a hippopotamus? They have a really large teeth, the largest canines in the entire animal kingdom and they're herbivores. Just because you have a body part that can do something doesn't mean you should use it to do something that is inherently cruel and immoral. I have a fist. Should I punch people in the face with it? Just because I have hands doesn't mean I should use them to strangle people with. I mean, yeah, I do have these teeth. Does that mean I should eat human children with those teeth or eat dogs and cats with those teeth? Just because I have teeth doesn't mean I should use them to eat whoever I want and not analyze the ethics of it. The point is we don't need to eat meat to survive or to be healthy.  You know, it doesn't mean you should use it to chow down on whoever you want. All right, guys. So that's my response to the backlash of the Viva advert controversy. Well done, Viva. Amazing job getting that out to the mainstream, getting people talking and that's what we need. We need discussion. We need people talking, debating this topic, getting it into the minds of the masses and having them think about it. These seeds that get planted in people's minds, they might not like it at the start but it gets them thinking, doesn't it? What do you guys think down below? Did you think that the Viva advert went too far? Or do you think some of these people are being snowflake-ish and a little bit soft and a little bit crybaby-ish?  I just don't think looking at the negative comments is a very good gauge of how that advertisement did in the minds of the masses. I'll see you all in the next video. Peace.


What's going on guys? Welcome back to the channel critical overlord here. So over the past couple of days. There's been some potential rumors leaks speculation that have been getting sent to this Instagram page, I don't know how to pronounce it. I really don't know how to pronounce it. It's spelled D-E-U-X-M-O-I If you're familiar with that, you know, they send like these form submissions with I have T There's been a lot of submissions about screen five some potential rumors leaks other things that may or may not be true So if you don't want any potential spoilers, I guess click away but I'm gonna go down the list of what is here what people are saying is confirmation now I will say one of the things has to do with like potential new artist that could be in the film or featured in the film so Just to jump right on into things because honestly when I read this, I'm like, okay Yeah, this is exciting, but someone else said this someone else said that and it's just like What else is new here? I just don't I don't get that really So jumping right on into things So one of the very first things it says like a lot of people are wondering is the message says a lot of people are wondering about the new screen movie and This person is saying they can say a couple of things one don't get attached to anyone just like the others literally There's some surprising kills apparently they're going to set it up for sequel number two number three It has a similar vibe to the first and second installments The old G's Nev Courtney and David give their best performances in this one number five a really popular new artist recorded song for the credits She shares a name with a popular friends character Number six the post-production team is taking their time with the editing process because they have multiple endings to work with now somebody came back to kind of Confirm something regarding this they submitted that The last two are in fact correct. I'm actually involved in all movies coming out of Paramount Pictures I will say that there's actually three new yet successful artists in play for music usage from this film and then Another thing got submitted talking about the audition process and how there's multiple scripts that have been written up and how nobody really Had the same draft to protect the ending This is stating someone stated this is also correct I've seen dailies But we are creating a teaser and can't even get a copy of the script or full feature footage What we are given is heavily watermarked I will say that what what I've seen is amazing and Nevin Courtney are giving it They're all this is pair this pair this Paramount is banking on this franchise to revive their expected struggling 2021 revenue in 2022 movie slate anticipate there being little snow leaks about this film so Again, not really anything too specific. I hope a lot of you did not click away From the video because it really wasn't that Wasn't that juicy, but like just going over this like number one. Don't get attached to anyone. Okay, same thing with the other ones I already expect that the two characters that will be sticking around for sure will be Tara and Sam Now if one of them dies that's probably the surprise if one of them dies It's probably a surprise. Maybe one of the Meeks children or neat meek's nieces nephew, whoever Chad or Mindy one of them will stick around and Then number two saying they're going to set it up for a sequel This will probably be the first not even probably this would in fact be the first screen movie that sets That will be setting itself up for such a thing now screen three ended with the intent of saying the room the door is always open for more, but that was also kind of like a Just kind of like in reference to the fact that Sydney is now free from all of this She can finally let it go because everything that was haunted her that dealt with her mother has been put to bed now that she knows What the overall central? Conflict was stemming with her mother so This would be the first time a screen film would be purposely setting up a sequel I believe they were gonna do that with screen to with those facing the top of the tower watching Sydney with that got cut Glad it actually dig I could be like all the screen films They'd never flat out just ended with this with the intent of saying hey We're gonna have a sequel and then number three It has a similar vibe to the first and second installments definitely Excited for that if that's the case because the first and second films are considered the best So I definitely can't wait to see that and then the old geez given it. They're all Michael Kennedy, I believe it's his name the writer of freaky. He said the same thing He said scream the scream script is one of the best scripts. He read last year. He also said that You know, it was a very Very good script and he's just excited for us to see it And then I think he also said this is the this is the best use of the trio sent scream to in his words That's what he said the writer of freaky said that himself So not really surprised by that And then number five like a really popular new artist recorded a song for the credits She shares a name with a popular friends character Now if we're talking about the friends TV show the hit popular artists that I can think of is I Can't remember her last name But if you know who I'm talking about her her name is Phoebe. She shares the name of that friends character She I've heard a few of her songs. She's very talented. I can only see that being her Maybe Sonya has a song in it too because I believe Sonya has some type of Musical talent as well. She has some discography and then the post-production team is apparently taking their time with the editing process Because they have multiple endings to work with not shocking there either not shocking there either One thing I wanted to go over though was the fact that They say that they are working on creating a teaser and they can't even get a copy of the script or full feature footage So they're kind of going into overdrive with wanting to keep this film under lock and key and protecting it from leaks And it's easy to understand that when you consider what happened with four three and all the other Subsequent sequels that came after the original so it's not that shocking that this is going on with screen five so I Honestly am not overly impressed with this stuff that came out. I think it was quite Interesting and gave me a lot to consider and wonder and I just wanted to share my thoughts on it in this video with you guys The most exciting thing I think I got from that was the fact that it's gonna be similar to the first and second installments screen one and screen two are literally The best of the franchise So if you mesh those vibes well together and you get like the perfect love child Screen five would easily jump over screen four and become the third best in the franchise So let me know what you guys think about all these down in the comment section below and that holding not getting attached to characters again Not shocking whatsoever. I hope they keep some other people around other than the carpenters because they need that Let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications at number two video in the description I have links on my social media accounts my Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course, let me know is any movies news or reviews you like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Those are the sounds of men stuck in the bottom of a ship. At least they didn't implode.  I'm Rick. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or 4G. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or 4G. Speaking of that, do you see how Netflix capitalized on that tragedy? It's pretty awesome. Way to go, Netflix. Another win for you. Um, I saw something. You know what they should do? Next time there's a shark attack and seven people are killed, which that never happens with a shark attack. But next time it happens, drop jaws. That's a good idea. I saw somebody say that in July when Celine Dion and James Cameron are looking at their royalty checks and they were just dancing. Yep. I'm sure Titanic, like everybody was watching Titanic this past week. Yeah. Any pub is good pub. It's true. Even implosions. We got a video. This is actually Sid Sriram sings pop songs in Carnatic style. Okay. Yeah. Sid Sriram, amazing, beautiful voice. I'm assuming he takes some songs that aren't Carnatic and makes them into Carnatic. I would think that's pretty self-evident. Popular songs, I'm guessing that are internationally popular? I think so. Here we go. Odd to make it a silent video. So much music. GK here. Today we have a very special artist in the studio. We got Sid Sriram. Sid is a musician best known for his Carnatic style of singing. He's the widest. A Bollywood playback singer and songwriter. Thank you so much for being here. It's definitely not Sriram. I want to play a little game right now. I'm going to give you a few songs. I want you to transform them into your Carnatic style of singing. Cool. Yes, let's do it. I will say this is a super complex form. It's most probably closely related to substantially improvised music. So there's a lot of spontaneous. So this is like a basic voice exercise I do every morning. And I haven't done it yet today. So this is my practice time right now. It goes on. Wow. That's your turn. I don't know. So the first one we're going to go is Without Me by Halsey. Is it cool if I pull out there?  I'm going to do the hardest riffs ever. I'm going to go to the hook. Let me see how I can do this. It might not work in my work. We'll see. Now it feels up there feeling so high but too far away to hold me. Two more. Is that cool? Super Model by SZA. SZA is popping right now. He's one of my favorites. I really like this new album. You don't know who she is? She's so fire. He calls me old. The first time I heard it it gave me chills because I thought maybe I recognize her song. I don't recognize her name. I'm sure you've heard it. His voice is so high. This is a fun challenge. Incredible voice. The height of this range and the control. Cardi B. Give him some Cardi B. Let's do this tribute to your favorite Canadian artist, Alanis Morissette. Cool. That's not going to be the heart. You know that song especially that unplugged version that has that little drone sound that I was playing before. That's a good choice. I've never heard this song. It's cool. It's got these minor things. It's an epic song. I'm getting the chills. You killed all of them. That last one was the best. Thank you so much for coming today. It was such a pleasure chatting and congratulations on your upcoming album. Thank you. Not a great time honestly. This was a nice way to spend the morning. To cap off the morning. I'm glad. Awesome. Well thanks for being here and we'll see you guys next time. Much love. Thank you. What a voice. Was he singing in Carnatic style? It sounded like he was singing. He was singing Carnatic style. He had to do justice to the original melody which is not Carnatic and then do his improvisational jazzy style of Carnatic stuff to it which he he did. The control that goes way beyond staying on pitch and having a vibrato. There's some stuff they do with their voice that's vibrato on crack man. It's just it's it's about as difficult a discipline as you can do with your voice. He has one of the most powerful voices we've heard especially in Indian cinema. In terms of He has an extremely high range. Yeah he has a absolute tenor slash alto. He's in the same range of of the really pop song high tenor voices like a Freddie Mercury or a Michael Jackson or a Steve Perry or what's the lead singer from Rush? I always forget his name. I always see his face but these are people who are tenor alto. They live in the high high range of tenor. Versus say a Paul McCartney who's a true tenor these guys I'm gonna tell you a question. Bass. Bass slash baritone. Slash alto. No, nowhere near alto. Nowhere near tenor. Yeah. Yeah it's once again insane that they're just asking people to sing on demand even though this looks like an English show but obviously she seemed American. Yeah. I'd love to hear more. I'm sorry it was only three songs. That Alanis Morissette's song is epic. I might have heard it. I think you may have. I don't listen to radio. It's super, super neat. Well that one doesn't get a lot of radio airtime. So unless it's like on a tiktok or somebody has shown me that maybe a year ago who Doja Cat was for the first time. I know now. She's not part of your listening life Doja Cat? No. I know I've heard her songs. I couldn't tell you one song. Or my wife had a dream.  How was it? I don't know. She liked it. What about Dua Lipa? I found out who she was like maybe a year ago. Like Dua Lipa in your playlist at all? Like to drive and listen to Dua Lipa? I love Dua Lipa. And Johnny and I love Dua Lipa. I'm sure I've heard her songs. I can't tell you one song of her. So like the title of a song. Of Dua Lipa's. Even currently right now she has a song. It's a kind of a cover of Elton John's song. What? Damn. Now I'm thinking about because you mentioned Doja Cat. Like I said I know I know them. And now I'm hearing meet me in the middle. Who'd you say? Dua Lipa. It's on my playlists. I listen to it in the car all the time. Dua Lipa. Is it Dance the Night? Dua. Don't start now. That's one of her early singles. It's Leving's song. Cold Heart. Harden by you. I know the. If things look better baby. I know the Elton John one. Just passing through. Then she comes in and takes it from this song. Says. And I think it's gonna be a long, long time. Till touchdown brings me around again. It's her and Elton John. And he always does this weird. Instead of saying hardened by you. He says. Harden by you. Oh I'm a hardy. The things look better baby.  To not be listening to Dua Lipa. She has such happy great. Bop and dance and songs baby. Doja Cat does too. Between the two. I listen to more Dua Lipa. I'm sure I've heard a lot of their songs. But I just. I don't know what they are. That's alright. Do they sing anything by Baby Shark? No but I do think she's doing a guest spot on Go Dog Go. I don't know what that one is. Is that a kid show? Yeah it's a kid show on Netflix. I like Puff and Rock you watch that one. I like Puff and other things. Puff and Rock? No I don't know Puff and Rock. It's a good one.
