How are you doing today Tim? Hey? I'm pretty good. What did you dream about last night? Um, let's see. What did I dream about?   Yeah, I like my facial features were different I was like I was like Drake Bell all of a sudden. Oh, yeah, I know that's better than my dream I dreamt that I killed a man and got away with it Not even joking so we I would prefer your dream A couple notes at the top of the show for you guys first of all, I have a wicked case of strep throat right now So if you hear any vocal weirdness or coughing or stuff like that, you know, it's just it is what it is also, we want to say that That's a lots of crazy stuff going on in the world right now. We hope everyone's staying safe We are gonna echo the sentiments of our fellow community members here black lives matter Obviously, and we hope that everyone who's listening is safe and healthy We're kicking off this episode with our occurring segment the Valhalla news roundup And we actually have a huge surprise for you guys because joining us for this segment in our first-ever Interview on the podcast is none other than the lead writer of Assassin's Creed Valhalla Lord and savior of the Assassin's Creed franchise Darby McDevitt first off Darby. Thank you so much for joining us Thank you for taking the time to ask us questions. We wanted to ask you Why does Avor have the hidden blade on the outer part of the wrist? It is a deliberate decision when he or she gets a hold of this hidden blade It occurs to Avor that it would be much more interesting to let people see this weapon to be conspicuous about it Vikings were known. That's really interesting. Thank you You've said on Twitter that there's a specific narrative reason behind why Avor can be either male or female And obviously, you know, we don't want you to spoil anything But can you give us like a tiny hint towards what that might be? I feel like Assassin's Creed is kind of almost a the new Doctor Who What would you say attracts you most the time period and setting of Valhalla? Oftentimes people would not be punished for murder There have been rumors that Desmond is not really dead But just trapped in the animus and could make an appearance in Valhalla Would you like to comment on that or tease anything? He is inside the animus Hold on.  He is inside the animus inside of its programming and its architecture. Holy shit Wow, so I know that this game is set in the late 800s a few centuries before Ezio was born But some people have pointed out that the guy we see in the cinematic trailer wearing a hood kind of looks like Ezio We're wrapping up Ezio's story. Oh my god You heard it here first folks Desmond is back and see was back Assassin's Creed is back long live Assassin's Creed Darby man. Thank you so much for joining us very funny about the hook and the blade That's us. Oh, he he left the zoom call Wow Desmond and Ezio, can you believe that Lawson? No, I can't so Our main topic for this episode is the comic book Assassin's Creed conspiracies Right off the bat spoiler warning if you haven't read Assassin's Creed conspiracies don't but if you want to anyway We're gonna talk about everything that happens in it Yeah, I cannot recommend reading this in good faith But if you care about being spoiled about something you haven't read yet I'd go ahead and just give it a very brief Overview honestly if you just read like The wiki article for the main character you will understand the story better than if you read the comic Absolutely, I I concur that's something I was surprised by first time I read the comic I was like I don't really understand what happened in this comic Yeah, I mean I read it again And I was like I understand it a little bit better and then I read it Oh, no, I only read it twice But then I read the wiki pages for some of the characters and stuff in it And I was like now I think I get at least what they were going for Yeah, shout out to the wiki people shout out to the wiki or I guess it's called fandom now Yeah, but they did a great job of condensing all of the elements of the story into an easily digestible article Yeah, it definitely was a saving grace for me for sure because I definitely came away from the comic and I Really didn't know really what had happened We just a lot of the historical elements but not only that but like just character motivations and character Alignments. I'm just gonna go ahead and say this my main complaint with conspiracies is how convoluted it is there are so many little plot switcheroo's and so many like big Exposition dumps in it that it makes reading it the first time without any context Especially if you don't have yeah If you don't have the wiki article on hand, right a lot of it just isn't gonna make intuitive sense Yeah, it seems like a lot of the characters main function is to just tell you plot Yeah, like like like the main bald bad man of the story is essentially just like exposition Man, he's like he's not he's hardly a character. Oh, yeah. No, I mean honestly most of the characters in this are Barely characters.  What would you say woman? It's not a personality trait. You've already failed Come on Ponytail no purse come on personality Where's a hood God three strikes you're out to Yeah, honestly even the same for Eddie, what would you say about Eddie? He has a Daniel Day-Lewis mustache Hey, that's physical. I know I'm just I'm saying I'm saying physical. Well, okay. Anyway, I Didn't I don't play by my own rules sometimes Tim I'm a rule breaker. I'm a loose cannon podcast. Oh, see it's it's funny.  It's not funny. It's interesting that you mentioned the main Anyway He sucks. He's the worst part of the book for me and I like I look your complain is a hundred percent accurate It's very convoluted But Eddie to me is the worst part of this book really if Eddie was better I would have liked it more.  It's like well Why is this happening to this guy literally at a certain point when they're about to try and convince Eddie? One of the assassin characters says to the leader. Hey, why don't I just do this and there's this whole bad Exposition about how well the Nazi bad guy we're after can basically smell assassins So if we send someone in who's already part of the brotherhood, he'll figure them out But I don't know how that works at all nor does the comic really But of course it does become a point later on that they're like well Eddie you have this really strong like heritage and lineage of the assassin brotherhood and it's always like Just you know get that get that chosen one shit out of here We don't we don't need it they typically have to do that for modern-day protagonist because yeah If you're going to look into someone's genetic memory There has to be someone in their lineage who is interesting enough to do that But if you're just the guy in the past and you're not originally an assassin You're helping them out with something like why do you have to be that special? Why do you have to be right in this long bloodline of assassins especially when they don't address how you could be in that lineage and Know nothing about it for instance and well and to your point Something like about the whole like chosen one shit, you know It's like oh this this person is is very very very special and unique to the assassins and and it's like the more You do that the less unique they become like like for instance I mean that's you a special for a specific reason, but as you try and build Reason and like justifications for for being this assassin in the historical period They have to become increasingly more important and unique and I think the more they do that the less important and unique they get because Eddie is like a Nothing assassin to compare to the rest literally a mars love interest in gold Happens to be a gifted assassin with deep assassin lineage You know just every character in all of our stories is going to be a chosen one Nobody's a chosen one right and I and you you were saying to me how you really want like and it's like in a well Not how you really want me think it could be interesting that an assassin Protagonist is just like he doesn't have this like famous bloodline or anything He's just kind of a normal or she who's been who's an assassin or she normal dude or do that or neither That could be an assassin and and at this point. I agree with you because I just I Don't think every historical character needs to be like the missing piece to everything You know and Eddie is apparently like he has this very special lineage that he knows nothing about as you mentioned honestly Fascinating Lee enough the only thing that it accomplishes on a storytelling level mechanically to have Eddie be a Chosen one quote-unquote with a rich assassin bloodline in this story is that it justifies a very cheap and flimsy and Unnecessary plot twist which is this idea that all of the Circumstances that they use to get Eddie on their side and to get Eddie into their system doing their work is Because he has this important role to play this is really complicated And I'm gonna try and explain it as best and as concisely as I can but considering the comic couldn't do that I'm not sure I'll do the best job either Eddie is recruited by American assassin spies He is told by them to infiltrate the SS he does so It turns out that okay the assassins and the Templars are working together So where the Templars have power over the Axis the assassins have power over the allies So they're basically playing racquetball with Eddie Because they need him for this thing and all of the story Circumstances that put Eddie in the position That he's in are pretty much designed from the beginning to get him there and Pretty much the first half of the story everything that's happening to him is made up This sounds like it should be a good or interesting twist But it doesn't hold up when you reread it It doesn't make a whole lot of sense the way that characters talk to each other when Eddie's not on the page Isn't consistent for instance with them having a level of knowledge that is deeper than what they're presented as having So at the end of the day, you've made him a chosen one Doing so justifies a flimsy plot twist Well, you just you just wasted all of our time in this story basically because so much of what we're supposed to follow Doesn't matter Yeah, and if the twist doesn't hold up and there's no point of having the twist Like there's no reward for Like if Some of the best twists you can go back and reread and it all makes more sense If with this one as you said it makes less sense somehow I think it's like the the worst twist i've ever seen is in the movie now. You see me I haven't seen that movie. Is resa mad in it? No, it's not Oh, okay Mark ruffalo is though and he plays a bad guy for the whole movie and then at the end he's like surprised I was a good guy the whole time. Oh, is that the magic movie? Yeah Oh, okay. Yeah, they do magic tricks and stuff. They do magic tricks and stuff. Yeah, woody harrelson. Yeah, cool. Okay. Yeah, I haven't seen it You had you're like, oh, yeah, I remember that movie Oh, yeah, never saw Jesse Eisenberg and woody harrelson or they do the magic stuff. Oh, yeah, I haven't seen it. No It's bad a spoiler for now Oh, yeah, dawn. He just pulled that great movie.  We'll see if this makes it into the final episode It might not um So yeah conspiracies, let me just go ahead and say this This is something I wanted to say earlier, but for god.  There's not a whole lot of conspiracy going on in this book I will say it is it is nice that um The the whole production is french-based. Yeah, they can't hear us shitting on this Exactly Not that anyone who speaks english listens to this podcast either But they definitely won't they definitely won't also I I am genuinely curious who at titan comics is responsible for the translation of these because This thing is not well translated.  Yeah, there's definitely some translational problems They're also I think what's a part of the translational problems is that eddie gorm's name is repeated Six thousand times. Yeah, and also that he's named eddie gorm. Yeah, that's not very Opposite. It's not a great name for a character You know, but to your point about the convoluted aspect of the book I think a lot of the convolution. Is that a word convoluted? Yeah, it is. I think a lot of that comes from the lack of Historical explanation like sure. I've never needed Uh the comics or the games to like hold my hand through To like the historical context, but they weave the historical elements and the historical figures and the historical events Well enough into the game or the comic You know Assassin's Creed 2 taught me so much about the renaissance, which I didn't know before and this what we read recently the fall You know gave us so much context about the Russian revolution. I disagree It's not even that big of a part of the of the book you're kind of working against a couple of factors like I mean for me, there's definitely an extent to which Different audience members are going to bring different levels of historical Knowledge to the table and I can play a game like Assassin's Creed Odyssey Which is set in ancient Greece and I can meet characters And not be able to tell you one way or the other If they were real people or not for the most part Sometimes they are sometimes they aren't unless it's a name like Hippocrates or Herodotus or Socrates I'm not going to be able to say oh, yeah, this guy really exists And World War two is it's a historical event that probably There's a lot more general awareness of Partially because compared to something like say World War one. It's very clear cut who the good guys and bad guys are Right and and and I would agree with that assessment I just think the the book didn't do a great job of setting the stakes in the state of affairs It just was like that is the year This is the year it takes place in and you know, here you go Here's a bunch of a name Here's a bunch of people who are name dropped then their significance within the story is kind of explained But there's significance to the world is isn't explained. I think that's an issue for me I think I think you are hitting on something with the stakes point because A big part of this book revolves around the idea of who gets to build the atom bomb first Right if you're not familiar with you know, verner heisenberger the manhattan project That might not ring is I mean on one hand it is a clear stake like Yeah, if the bad guy makes the bomb first then that's bad for us, but It is true that the book does not do a great job of establishing What the assassins or Templars want until that reveal in the end with that they're working together because Once you actually do a little deep dive and I know you know this already once you look into What the Templars are actually doing and what they actually want It's not intuitive at all from the book that that's what what's going on Yeah, for sure.  Yeah Like it actually was a thing kind of in real life and it's it's really just kind of like passed off as a Proto animus in this yeah for people who aren't familiar First of all in the comic book the first half of of conspiracies revolves around the idea that instead of focusing on developing an atom bomb the Germans instead Created a cover story Of the atom bomb under which they developed a super weapon or wunderwaffe called Diaglaka and There is a real life conspiracy theory or really more of a hoax That there was a german super weapon called Diaglaka called such because that's german for the bell And it's a bell shaped super weapon Yeah, it's shaped like a bell and they do take that inspiration and use it in the comic in kind of an interesting way But when you find out that this German super weapon is essentially a proto animus. It's like What is really the value of this to? Germany or to the Templars, I mean, yeah Their whole deal is they always want to find pieces of Eden and just like any other animus in any other time This is going to help them Find pieces of Eden But it's not like there's say a particular piece of Eden that would help them turn tide of the war Or anything more specific Other than boy, wouldn't it be great if we found more pieces of Eden? Let's build a chair that helps us find them Right and it also kind of dig it also kind of makes us kind of a wrinkle where if If Boris was aware this proto animus Boris by the way being the leader of the assassins In the book who recruits Eddie sorry go on right the the gary old man looking man If he was aware of this proto animus, right like because he had to have been and he was So how did he let something so powerful like Stay within the Templars over time until we get the actual animus, you know Well, that's one of the fun delightful complete inconsistencies of the book No, yeah, and I mean It's just I just I just I hate so much that like I don't know Boris's plan just kind of this really sucks to it Yeah, he really doesn't keep Eddie. He doesn't keep Eddie on a short leash I don't think he doesn't keep him on a short enough leash if he's really trying to use utilize Eddie in this way and I just Like for instance that scene when Boris is opening up the like the hidden Assassin layer and shows everyone. It's like I was like, yes dope. Yeah, that was when we see none of it And we see none of it because the creed doesn't matter Like that's the thing and I hate Assassin's Creed stories that are absent of the creed and this is one of them It's so absent of it and it's absent of it to the point where Eddie doesn't like Give a fuck.  That's it He doesn't even meant like he just joins the conflict to get revenge. He doesn't he doesn't Want any anything more than that. It's very surface level. Yeah, I think kind of what you're what you're getting at is that like This is one of many modern Assassin's Creed stories that Doesn't share the same priorities as early Assassin's Creed stories of really delving into those ideological conflicts and the aesthetics of the Assassin Templar world And that is frustrating I like that we got a little taste of it Because it is cool to see what those things and those traditions what they look like in different time periods So seeing like this is what a group of assassins look like in World War two London is cool But like you said, they don't push it far enough They don't take advantage of it and do something cool with it at all right and yeah, I mean and that's the thing is I think you're completely right and that assessment of like what my problem is with it I mean just going back to wait just going back to what we read recently the the the fall on the chain I mean that dealt so well with like what the creed was and the Templars and what they wanted and Eddie is an assassin because He was made one. He didn't seek it out. He didn't need it He didn't want it. Well, he wanted it, but he wanted it for more selfish reasons and He didn't do anything to impact the creed or at all For good or worse. He just kind of was there. He existed He shot tesla, which I don't And let's go ahead and explain again for anyone who's uh, who hasn't read one of the fun plot points of this is that Nikola tesla didn't die when he was reported to have died historically That was the Templars faking his death and then they basically kept him Imprisoned as a as a you know state scientist to work on this project to work on the deglob And then the assassins were like, all right yank. We're going to use you now to do the same thing again Right, which is part of how the assassins and Templars are kind of supposed to be supposedly working together But again, there's only so much of that we can really understand when all we get that's really Telling that story of hey the assassins and Templars are working together on this is a character saying Yeah, the assassins and Templars are working together. Like we don't really see what that process is We don't really see those characters working together at all. You're so right about that and and that's the thing is The stakes are so are so are set up in such a piss-poor way That's like, okay, the assassin Templars are working together. Sorry together because It's because they are yeah, that should mean so much more than it actually does Yeah, I mean there was a whole game that that talked about that very idea and it's called Assassin's Creed Unity and it also has problem. Yeah It also has issues. Yeah I think one thing that that kind of is is the source of a lot of my issues with this book in particular In any Assassin's Creed story, there are various levels of conflict, right? So you can go up to the macro scale and you'll see that assassins and Templars Being these ancient shadowy organizations that they're manipulating various players A level below that you have the actual historical factions that really existed typically And they'll have some relationship to the assassins and Templars whether that's Being supported by them controlled by them or pit against each other by them And then you'll have on the micro scale. You'll have the actual characters. What are their tactics? What are their motivations and goals in this context? And that's really where you have to live where an Assassin's Creed story has to live in the context of the bigger levels But using them to tell a personal story for a character You know, that's what makes the great Assassin's Creed stories work so well And that's something I thought about a lot while reading this because While In essence some of those pieces are there No, the comic doesn't give you a great understanding of the fact that for instance The Templars pit all of the players in World War two against each other from the get-go to get more power But then Hitler Went from being their puppet to being an out-of-control madman and suddenly the Templars want to stop him And that's why if you have assassins working with the allies and Templars initially working with the Axis They can eventually kind of come together against Hitler, which Is interesting. That's an interesting context for an Assassin's Creed story But it's not a context that this comic is interested in litigating at all Yeah, it's it's priorities are all out of whack and we're definitely not getting a fascinating personal story for Addie who like I said earlier on Has less of an arc and more of like a falling off a cliff at the very end You can't say that he doesn't end up differently where he starts But that's just because of a big just contrived plot device And I think probably the biggest sin outside of the convolution and outside of The confusion of all of it is that it's just kind of boring I mean, there's not the pacing is so broken in this story that there's really nothing moment to moment lending it any reward or any satisfaction or any reason to keep reading even Compared to something like ac gold. I could at least listen to that and not feel bored out of my skull This I'm reading and it's like I want to give myself paper cuts with the comic book pages Just so I can feel something the the intro of the book Has has sees Eddie going doing this awesome infiltration And yet that's the only assassin stuff that we get to see him do Because the rest of the time he's being saved by Julia or getting her shot Also, the the rope launcher makes an appearance in that scene, which is pretty cool um But yeah, it's just That's another thing is eddy when he is an assassin He is for a couple pages and then he gets stuck into the proto animus and then after that He's just as a as a madman and he kills himself even when he's infiltrating the ss on behalf of the assassins he goes from Literally being like a dock worker who just helps out one of their guys in A very low level pretty meaningless operation and then pretty much a page later. It's like, okay.  Yeah eddy. Yeah, and it's like And and they try and show you how he's such a cool assassin by killing a couple guards and it's just like That's all we see otherwise.   Why eddy is a good assassin? Why eddy has this knowledge of these asses and Templars, but they don't show it and I want to say it could have benefited from being longer But I want to say it's like equal length to the to the fall on the chain and it does so much less But with its runtime or its page time And something else I noticed it has a similar scope too. Like I wanted the fault I wanted the fault conspiracies for Aiming so big in terms of trying to have this multi-year story and trying to have all of these twists and turns But the fall in the chain completely does all of that But because it Is a lot more thoughtful about the pacing about the rhythm I also want to talk about and normally I don't have that many opinions about art But there's generally like nothing going on in the background of these comic book panels They're so lifeless and detail-less So much of the story is being conveyed through the text bubbles through the dialogue Almost as if you could read this book without any illustrations And it would still make as little sense as it currently makes. Oh, yeah I mean you are definitely on the money with that observation. I mean Like some of the art and places looks really great and some of it doesn't look very good And you did mention to me that the artist there was an artist shift Yeah, so like the first volume is a different artist in the second and the seconds is a little worse. I think the the beauty of comics is that You read the text bubbles But then you also see what the text bubbles are encompassing and you get more of the story Like there's a lot of There's a lot of things in comics that you can just put into the art that you can't read in the text bubbles And there's none of that here and you know in a great comic you can understand the gist of the story Even if all of the text bubbles are, you know, blocked out You could still see it in the in the art and the facial expressions in the world Another interesting thing that I want to touch on before we wrap this up is that You have the fact that this book actually tries to Explain an event that's referenced in an email you can read in Assassin's Creed 1 Are you familiar with the the Philadelphia project? No, I actually haven't heard about it Yeah, apparently there's this email and ac1 Where it's it's between allen reichen and warren vidick and allen's like You know data provider from subject 12 indicates that the ship briefly manifested in a future state for approximately 18 minutes It is unclear whether the timeline is consistent with or parallel to our own Although we have recovered enough data to reconstruct and repair the original artifact Blah blah blah blah blah blah the the point is they they do this in the comic they go to the uss eldridge Which is the ship they're talking about in this email um And they have a quote-unquote time machine even though dea glauco works as a prototype animus They try to have it both ways where It's only an animus because it's like a time machine that doesn't work properly Right, apparently there's supposed to be something that they call a fixed point That keeps your mind and your body synced with each other when you travel through time But because they don't have that point Uh, it works like an animus and you go through the past Without your body and therefore you're looking through your ancestors That email almost implies that there is like the there would be the ability Like with the context of the book at least that there is the ability to fucking time travel But also use this as an animus, you know, it kind of yeah, it kind of justifies the existence of both But what I want to know is if you're gonna if you're gonna put a time machine On the uss eldridge and you're gonna say oh, this is kind of explaining what that email is all about Why don't we see the ship manifest in a future state? Why don't we understand how and why that happens? If it does happen it happens off screen or off panel It's not a part of the story. So it just seems like they Like worked in this element But didn't really take advantage of it or use it In line with what it actually is supposed to be.  Or there hasn't already been explained or the writer's like, oh, I'm gonna look at the wiki to see what we've already established about world war two Oh, we established that we use that time travel. Cool Dear Glock as a time machine. Yeah It's like I remember when I when I saw this connection on the wiki I remembered reading the philadelphia project that i'm thinking. Oh, that's cool because it was like time travel in assassins creed But I read it at a time when When hearing time travel in assassins creed wouldn't make me shit my pants with fear because I wouldn't trust ubisoft to do it Well, yeah, so then to see oh wait this this involved that which I completely didn't get from reading it And then yeah, that's the thing is there's no way for you to understand any of that Unless you one had this Knowledge of the email or what the philadelphia project is, you know And so then when I went back to read it again, I was looking forward to seeing Oh, how is this going to explain the whole manifesting the ship in a future state for 18 minutes thing? It doesn't so tim I think we've pretty well covered our feelings on this book. Um, what would you rate it out of 10? It's just two. Yeah, I'm a go. Yeah, I'm gonna say I'm gonna say 2.1. Okay, cool I wonder if they're gonna like put these ratings on like the 10th anniversary of the book when it comes out Yeah, maybe they can pull a blurb a pull quote from us print it on the back That'd be cool. Yeah. Yeah. Um, it's been fun to talk about conspiracies with you tim Um, as always we're gonna let our audience know here if you like listening to us talk about stupid assassins creed things Please share the show with people, you know who like assassins creed Um, give us a comment a tweet a retweet a heart.

I just got early access to ClickUp AI. Let's see what it can do and how it can help us with our work. I'm going to show you a couple features that I'm excited about and then at the end I'll show you where this AI goes to another level. First of all, it can help you write anything, emails, blog posts, landing page copy. It's like having a really good writer in your docs doing the like work. So when you feel stuck, it can continue writing. When you get too wordy, it can simplify it or my personal favorite, make it better. Now I take notes in a meeting because it helps me listen, but no one wants to read my notes, not even me. So I like this feature that can summarize my notes and generate action items. But the most powerful thing is what they're calling role-based prompts because AI only works well if you give it good instructions. So they've done that legwork by designing a list of prompts based on the type of work you're doing. So if I'm working on sales and I need a case study written, I just fill out these boxes and boom. Or if I'm doing some marketing and need to create a survey, these prompts are what takes this AI to another level. Tap this video to try ClickUp AI.


Greetings, everyone, and welcome to Red Pill Mankade. I'm your host, James P. Madan. I want to thank everyone for coming on my show last night, for progressive discussions. It was a great show, as always. This is my other show, Advice, Banter, and Fund for Men. It's educational, but it can also be unpredictable, entertainment, and very comical. So I want to welcome everyone to Red Pill Mankade. Okay, while I'm waiting for my panel of co-hosts, I'll have a sip of some chai and peppermint tea. Ah, that's good. So how's everyone doing? How's your weekend going? We had a short heatwave last week, but it cooled down to the low 70s. But I still feel hot because I live in a human part of the country, in the northeastern New Jersey. So what is everyone doing for the weekend? I'm going to check and see if there was a Yankees game after the show. Even if it's a rerun of the last game, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I just want to tell everyone that I told you so about the price gouging of eggs. And I haven't really verified this other information about an explosion in the United States that supposedly killed 18,000 dairy cows. I don't know how true it is. I have to do some research on it, because you know what that means. And a big agra cannot fool me. That's an excuse to jack up the price of milk and price gouge the consumer for dairy products with astronomical prices. I mean, the bird flu has been gone for a while. OK, but eggs are still very high. OK, there's just no logical reason for them to stay this high for this long, except corporate greed.  And as time goes by, that capitalism is the devil's economics. And it just does not work for the bottom 98 percent period. It only works for the selfish, stingy, greedy top 2 percent that don't pay their fair share in income taxes. So anyway, my right-hand man, Mick von Raven, he might join us later on when he gets back from the concert. He went to an early morning concert. And we were having a discussion last night about the dirty double standards between men and women.  OK, and they get off scot-free because they play the gender card, the victim, the poor damsel in distress, the weaker sex, the females, the weaker sex. And they play the gender card. And they get away with it. But if you should dare to speak up as a man and give your honest opinion and not take any abuse from any female, whatever that abuse may be, usually it's gold digging money grabbing.  Oh, oh, you're not a gentleman.  If you're the man, no, this is what I hate. I hate to hear this. It really aggravates me. Oh, you're the man. You're supposed to do this, that and the other thing.  That's it. We're not supposed to do anything. Now, the judicial system, they pretty much throw the book at the man if he has one child. That's all it takes. One pregnancy, the woman knows what's going to happen if she keeps the baby and she doesn't have an abortion. She keeps the baby so she can become, she can take a maternity leave from your job, be a stay-at-home mom, and sucker you into supporting the both of them. That's right, the both of them. And the law lets it happen even though we're supposed to have equality, but we really don't. They just want, they want equality when it comes to making money, earning money. Whether they can do the job or not, they want, they demand equality when it comes to money. Or when it comes to social, the social part of society or social life, then they want to be the old fashioned girl, the weaker sex where the man has to do everything, make the first move, and pay for everything. You know, I always joke around with the Commodore, Jeff Sandbella, who should be here any moment. The women have alligator arms, which is short arms and a deep purse. Get it? Short arms and a deep purse. Alligator arms. Let's see what's going on. Okay, very nice. I'm on my second live stream show right now on YouTube. I'm just answering people that don't realize that I'm occupado, that I'm occupied. Okay, I want to make sure that all the links are out. Okay, folks. I'm waiting. I'm waiting for my panelists. Maybe I can bring up an article. I got a few articles that I'm going to play. Whether they be articles or videos, they're very applicable to the red pill man cave. Let's see. Let me try this. Whoa, no. Not yet. I got to do screen share. Let me do screen share. Let's see if we got it. Let's see if we got it. Okay, I'm going to do a little screen share.  Oh, yeah. George Bruno could not have been any more correct. This man, this wise man has, he's hit the nail right on the head. Real men, real alpha men have to be decisive. They have to know what they want or what they're looking for. And if they see a red flag, I mean, they just have to nip it in the bud right at the beginning. Right from the get go. They have to make decisions on their own based on their common sense. It doesn't take great intellect to spot red flags. Okay, but people will only take advantage of you if you allow it to happen. Every predatory female needs prey. They need a victim. They need a sucker, which is the chivalrous gentleman. They are the blue pill of beta simp suckers that are called chivalrous, because that is a way that these modern women can attain power over you and manipulate men to do their bidding. And meanwhile, they bring nothing to the table. You get nothing in return. So this gentleman was absolutely correct. What's the next one? Looks like I'm going to have to increase the font. Let me see if my panelists showed up yet. Yeah, I'm waiting for my panelists, Mr. Bart Robinson. You know, it's not nice to... James, I just now popped in real quick before I go to the gym and there is no audio. There's no audio. Hold on for a second. Let me double check something. I'm going to bring up my avatar. Hello. Hello. Testing, testing, testing, testing. Notice it. See the halo around the avatar moving? Yeah, my microphone's working. Oh, the clip didn't play. You didn't hear the clip? Oh, boy. Here we go again with the stream yard problem. The clip. Son of a patient. That was a great clip. Let me... Let me try something. That doesn't make any sense.  Let me just check this. Okay. Now, look around the rim of the avatar. So as you can see, I'm speaking absolutely correct.  Every programmer that creates software, they all look the same. They're all pencil net geeks. The guy that owns stream yard is more of a geek than Mark Zuckerberg.  It's audio coming out of my speaker, right? Anyway, George Bruno, he was pretty much saying that if a woman is really into a man, she will make it obvious. There's no guesswork. There's no wondering. Oh, love takes time. We have to get acquainted and blah, blah, blah. She doesn't kiss on the first date and all this hogwash.  That just means she doesn't... That means that love takes time with you and she doesn't kiss on the first date with you. That doesn't mean that she's really into you, but it's going to take time.  So I'm just telling you what George Bruno was saying. And he says, men, stop wasting your time and money on females that do not reciprocate. You're not getting anything in return for your attention, your entertainment, your spending of money, pouring on the charm. If you're not getting anything, then he says, turn the gas down, turn the flame down and abort the mission and just leave her. She doesn't give you an explanation for why she has to take all this time to get to know you.  They let you know right from the get-go, right from the beginning. They let you know if they're into you because if they're not making it obvious on the first date that they're into you with signals, body language and everything that goes with it. They're doing it with someone else or they're searching for someone else. So that summarizes what Mr. Coach George Bruno was saying.  Let me try something. I have another video that's very fascinating and very applicable to the show. Okay, here's my avatar. All right, you see my voice. Okay, so you're right. All my videos, all of my videos, all of the video, the audios are not being picked up by the Screamyard microphone. The Screamyard microphone is not picking up any of the audio coming from these videos and it doesn't make sense because how can the Screamyard microphone distinguish my voice coming out of my mouth as audio and it recognizes that. Or music coming from a hard drive, it recognizes that. But as soon as the audio comes out of the speaker as a video, it doesn't recognize it. But when I have a guest, their voice is coming out of the speaker like last night and the Screamyard mic picks them up. Now do you see how bizarre this is? It's almost supernatural. It's totally illogical. I have a guest using their webcam, Screamyard mic picks it up, picks up me, picks up music on hard drive, no problem. Then I play a video. It doesn't pick it up. This is definitely unscientific and illogical. Okay, thank you. It's a good thing you stopped by. And may I say I hope your weekend is going by very well and I hope you have a great safe workout. And maybe I'll catch you later or if my panelists don't show up, I'll just end the show. I could do solo shows with no problem. I just get bored when I do it. Okay, where is everybody? Where is everybody? Let me see if they even noticed. Let me see if they even noticed. Oh boy, they're really not reliable. Okay, that's one answer. You know what?  I have no choice whatsoever. Let me see if he's around. Okay, I'll take care of that. People are so unreliable nowadays. Okay. Yeah, I really, you know, you're a great buddy to have Bar-Robertson. I really appreciate you letting me know, tipping me off. Thank you very much. I'm trying to remember how that went. Herb Alpert and Latia Warner-Bress. I'm trying to think of the official dating game theme until I can remember it. We banged out so many tunes, Herb Alpert. It's hard to keep up with all of them.  I may have to take a hiatus, Bart Robinson, from doing any of my live streams.  Oh, yeah, you too, you too, boy. Rowing is very important.  And then the second time you row, you do them with your palms up. And what that does is it hits different parts of the back. Doing rowing this way would hit more of latissimus dorsi and going towards the center. And doing rowing this way would hit like the upper back, you know, lower trapezius rhomboids, that area. You got to supinate and pronate. Now, if you're, if you're using a device where you're able to do this, both supinate and pronate. That's what I do. So I'll try my best. Every people ever out there ever go shopping where others in the supermarket decide to stop and leave their shopping cart right in the center of the aisle, right dead center of the aisle where nobody could get around them. Now, if they stop their shopping cart to look at something on the shelf or to take something off the shelf, wouldn't it be more courteous? And easy for them as well as others to pull over to the side, pull over to the curb and then go look, take things off the shelf. Hey, the one and only Commodore is here. My right hand man, how are you, sir? I just got back on the Turkish big bite. So I had chicken suvlaki plate, and then I had a Mediterranean type of shrimp on the side with garlic sauce. And then I got some free three pieces of free baklava right out of the oven. No charge because the owner likes me because I come every weekend. I go Saturdays and Sundays. That's where you feel the muscles from. Do you see that? That's good food. That's good. Look at that. Get a baklava ready. Right in the biceps, baklava biceps. Who says I don't have mitochondria?  Rick Brown.  Fucks sake. Rick, now for those that are not... 15 years old. For those that don't know the Commodore, he is a drug-free athlete. He's a competitive athlete in powerlifting, in kettlebell when he chooses, when he wants to, and the mace. He swings the mace and he's now enrolled in the deadlift in Maine, state of Maine, where the maniacs live. He's enrolled in competition, doing the deadlift, and then he's... Drop tested. Drop tested. Yeah. Drop tested. Everybody gets a urine test. Right.  You're in it. You're in. Get it? You're in it. No cheating. No cheating. It's called sleep recovery and good food, natural food from God's green earth. And you know, sleep is very important to stress. I know it's underestimated, but it's extremely important to get adequate rest in order to recover. And then Commodore is going to North Carolina. This is this year. Note Carolinie and he's going to... He's enrolled in the vintage games where he will do... He will swing the mace on the first day. Second day, he will do the farmer's walk. The farmer's walk. Wait a minute. Do I have skinny forearms? I don't have mitochondria. Yeah. Look at him. He's like Atlas, holding up the globe. He's in a BJ steakhouse. I got no mitochondria. Oh, carpal tunnel surgery. You're going to get that next week. Did you get carpal tunnel by not using a computer mouse, a cushion on the wrist? Because... No, I used the... Not you. Bart Robinson's got to get carpal tunnel surgery next week. So I'm just trying to find out how it... I feel bad for him. I feel bad for Bart. It's a repetitive injury for... Like tennis elbow and a baseball pitcher who pitches too many fastballs. Or masturbation or something. Excuse me, I had to clear my throat. Yeah. Either a guy who has the... Shake weight. The shake weight and he's addicted to it. Addicted. Get it? He's addicted to... And he doesn't... And he forgets to switch arms. He doesn't switch arms, you know? Yeah, both forms are the same size. There you go. Bye-bye. Be, uh, be sweepy. Who was sweepy? Was it an illegitimate baby? They never really explained who sweepy was. Hmm. I know Wimpy was the butcher. Olive. Olive Oil was her name. Olive, Olive. Yeah. Olive couldn't have gave birth because she was like skinny, like a pipe cleaner. What if she wore a spandex sweatpants for Olive Oil? Olive's oils. Those yoga pants that the girls wear when they work out? You mean when they do half moon push-ups? Leotard. We used to call them leotards when I was a kid. Kind of reminds me of a... I won't say it, but a particular sandwich at Katz's New York style deli. But we'll leave that for another day. You mean stringy pastrami? Smoked pastrami? Yeah, here you go. Stringy's pastrami. And why would a woman who's almost 60 years old turn upside down in the lotus position in tight spandex pants do a Katz New York style deli? I don't get it. Yeah. Why? Why? Because, you know, and why...  Yeah.  You know, Dr. Ruth Westheimer used to say aroused. Listen, God made... We're just admiring God's beautiful art. God makes women very beautiful when he's making them in their mother's womb. You're God's handiwork. You're right on target. Is Anthony... Is Paul Anthony Mattiah coming right here? You know who's supposed to be here? He says, oh, Jordy. I sent him the link.  I want to do the show with Commodore. I want to come on the show. What is he? Is he that hungover or something? Well, you know, these people are not reliable. Like Muhammad Ali. Yeah. Mick has had a concert, an early concert. He might jump on later. Ronnie Simpson is by the poolside at his condo complex in Clearwater. Yeah, good for him. Yeah. Sunday, he usually sits by the pool in the shade and just, you know, I don't... It admires God's beautiful creation. Now, if he didn't have an iPhone, if he had an Android phone, he would be able to participate sitting at the poolside because iPhones are not compatible with live streaming. That's why Mick has so many problems getting on the show. But last night wasn't bad. He got on. Where's Muhammad Ali? Oh, forget about him. Muhammad Ali, sting like a bee. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.  And he dodged me a few times.  Jadrulo! You know, the cucumber. Jadrulo. Jadrulo. Jadrulo. Jadrulo. Jadrulo. They got seeds for brains. Jadrulo. Cucumber seeds. Cucumber seeds. Boy, wonder, shits cucumbers. You know. That's an old saying, an old proverb. Boy, wonder, shits cucumbers? Shits cucumbers. Boy, wonder, shits cucumbers. Boy, wonder, shits cucumbers.  Oh, like a certain gentleman from Down Under who sells a messe. Watermarked prints. But we won't mention names. We won't name names. No. $50. No, yeah. He takes old photographs over a hundred years old in the center of the photo. So nobody can use a photo that doesn't belong to him. But Jean-Luc sends it for free. Yeah, right. Is that how you say his name? Jean-Luc? Oh, Jean-Luc O'Don from South. That's right. South of France on the Mediterranean. The South of France. I took the train to Central Paix. Central Paix. What about the girl from Ipanema? Yeah. Oh-ho-ho! The girl from Ipanema. Gazoo. Tadadadada. Tadadadada. Tadadadada. Tadadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadada. Tadadadada. Tadadada. Tiny Tim used to sleep in different beds in different bed rooms. His wife, Miss Vicky, They used to sleep separate. That's weird. Yeah. How can you wife her if you don't sleep in the same bed? You think it's possible that it was a staged Fake marriage for show business like Merv Griffin when he married to Ja Ja Gabor Exactly an expensive Tracy Was married to what the hell's her name there? The lesbian there is cohort there The sister of the breakfast and Tiffany's lady there Oh Hepburn Audrey Hepburn, right? No Audrey Hepburn was straight. She actually she actually married a Frenchman But her sister Catherine Hepburn, she was a dyke and Spencer Tracy was gay, but they made them marry for that particular reason Yes, so so the public would think that it was a marriage of convenience convenience. Yeah You know in reality Merv Griffin was dating No He was dating Denny Terrio dance fever. Oh No wonder why Merv Griffin kept that bone. Oh, he kept them doing that all the time. Oh That Merv Griffin oh, he was a very wealthy wealthy man. Oh, yeah That created dance fever and there were the In spirit Denny Terrio who who claimed each John Travolta had a dance for Saturday night fever, I think he's the one that trained them Merv Griffin had an idea gave him a show and probably gave him a proposition Yeah, you want to be you want your own show?

You think you think instead of a speed-o baiting suit those That that one could be made from a co-hog clam to cover your covered genitalia You have to have a small I don't I don't think it's Italian men. We Don't the Irish girls like Italian men I heard that I heard an Irish girl once told me that their men are small So Bart Robinson doesn't get any pain From the carpal tunnel when he picks up a heavy dumbbell That's good, but he gets it by I guess I guess it's the movement of the wrist, right? constant movement, you know the joint Yeah, but I always use the the touch pad I've been using that since 2007. Yeah Yeah, because it keeps 16 16 years now Keeps your wrist straight like that I switch all day long I go left-handed and right-handed Yeah, because you you're you make a living in the office and and you can't afford to be getting carpal tunnel From a from a computer mouse Right, and the ball swing clubs and mace is that it puts lots of circulation there Yes, yes, it does it does open up This the mobility and flexibility of the joints But what do we know we're not one of the elites No, you're just a guy that competes.

You're you're you're equal opportunity athlete competitive athlete and and and and I help people for free Right where the other one doesn't compete for anything.  Yeah, you filmed us. You videotape. That's it. I'm Dana Ramsey's jam with Mikey hands together Elbows up elbows down hands together Even he knows that and that Jackass Paul Paul just because he's the love of his his boom out of there Is boom out on the side?  Yeah, but I think he's busy. He's doing something special. Did you see his Facebook posting? He said, I have an announcement today. I'm doing something very special on video today. He said, I think him and his wife are going to do a show from the beach or something. They're going to do a fashion show for his products from the beach or something like that. This weekend he was doing? Today. Oh, today. He didn't, he announced it this morning. So he gets a pass. Okay. He's, he's, he's doing an event. Because he's doing the same thing we're doing, but he's doing it for his company. Fashion. Yeah. Yeah. So he gets a pass. Bear with me, please. Bear with me. Bear with me. Bear with me. Okay. Yeah. So I was talking right before you came out. I was talking about these people in the supermarket. They're women do it. Men never do it. They, they stopped their shopping car right in the middle of the aisle. You know, they got to get something off the shelf. So they, they park it right in the middle where nobody can get by. Yeah. Instead of pulling their cart over to the side. Yeah. Which I always do as, as a courtesy. Right. You know, this way I can do my thing and other people can get by. There must be very special. There must be, there are limits. Because they have to, they have to dominate like a dominatrix. They have to dominate the whole aisle. Yeah. You know, the thing they dominate is the, is the toilet in the morning. Well, they, they end up moving their cart anyway, because people are saying, excuse me, is this your car? I got to get by. Yeah.  Not now, do they, if they need to pull over to the side, driving, do they?  It's only because you're in Edgewater.  I guarantee they're car jacked. No, they did.  Oh yeah. They'll push it over side with us. Yeah. They'll shove it right side. There wouldn't be no, excuse me, man. Yeah. They're like, well, you talk, we're talking about people from, like Lilly White suburbs, you know, women that are home. They've been homemakers their whole life. You know, their, their husbands bring home a lot of loot, loot. So they're the trophy wife. They're the second wife. Yeah. Probably the second wife. If it's a, if it's a good-looking, younger woman. The second wife. Older husband. Then what happened was she might have started off being the gumata and then she kept nagging him. You gotta leave your wife. They couldn't leave the wife. Exactly. When are you going to leave your wife? My kids need college tuition. My kids, yeah, but he didn't impregnate those kids. Right. You know what I would say?  Tell them to go through the front door and out the back. Yeah. Exactly. Not my problem. We're working McDonald's, a Burger King. Hey, they're not, they're not a fruit of my law. Like everybody else did. We all work jobs. Are they, are they, are they the fruit of my loins? Yes or no? Hmm. I have a ha-ma-ha-ma-ha-ma-ha-ma. No, of course not. So why, why do I care? What you, what you want for somebody else's kids? Go bother the old man. I would love to see Rodney Dangerfield give that type, that type of one, or if I, pay for your kids. Rodney Dangerfield, yeah, I was so poor. When I was, when I was young, I was so poor in my neighborhood. The rainbow was in black and white. That's funny. Rodney Dangerfield, absolute best. Yeah, the wife says, how come you don't take, you don't take me anywhere? Take me somewhere where I've never been before. He says, yeah, the kitchen. That's good. That's good. I love Henny Youngman's comments too. The one-liners. Yes, yes, yes, bubble. He's got the drum set go, bubble. Bubble. You know who I liked too? The, he was Frank Sinatra's best buddy. He traveled with him. Don Rickles. Oh yeah. Yeah, he passed away. Yeah, Don Rickles. You know what's funny? Elvis, Elvis became very close friends with Tom Jones because Elvis was like mesmerized by Tom Jones. And well, Tom Jones is, he's one of a kind. Yeah.  So that's what he did. That was a routine. Well, hey, that'll be good to you.  And then, or you could feel like Peter Poppins with the miracle spring water. Oh yeah. Yeah. No ice cold spring water for you. Yeah. Peter Poppins and they'll put over that. Oh yeah. Yeah, Peter Poppins. That's correct. I thought you meant Ron Peelman or Ron Popeil. Yeah. Yeah. The guy from Ronco. Yeah. Ronco, my, my, my sister bought the, Ron Popeil. My sister bought the showtime rotisserie when it, when it came out. Yeah. Oh, they never buy something when it first comes out. Never. Always wait for the reviews. And you know. They catch a fire?  Jesus. Creepers. You know, the alarms went off and. Oh man. Oh, you know what happened? I tried playing some videos before on the show. Yeah. One of them was all about the clitoris. Oh, and, and, and the stream yard microphone won't, won't pick up the audio from the, from the video. So it's doing it again. Yeah. So it's like, I, I can, I can read an article, but it's not, it's not picking up the audio from the videos. That's, that's weird. That's weird. Well, so much for Jordy being reliable. Well, maybe Jordy had a few extra cocktails. I think he had, I think he had a, a, a breakfast. He's been known to have a cocktail or two. I think he had a breakfast cocktail. Probably put vodka in his orange juice or something. It's all right. Yeah. These people, they, they drink really early. Let me see if, oh, it's still early. I mean, it's still early. Well, he's six hours ahead of us. For people. Yeah. He's ahead of us. So it's almost 11 o'clock. It's 11 o'clock over there. Maybe say I get up for work in the morning. Well, it's, it's, it's still Sunday by him. Yeah. It's 11 o'clock at night, James. You might have to go to work in the morning, tomorrow morning, like Monday morning. He has to go to bed. He's six hours ahead of me. He's ahead. Yeah. Yeah. So Scotland is not five hours ahead of you. He's six hours ahead of you or six hours ahead of me. And five hours ahead of you, five hours ahead of me. So it's only 10. It's only 10, 10, 10, 15 up there. Quarter past 10. You should still be up. Come on, Joy, to get on the show. Yeah. Stop pulling your pud. Yeah. I mean, even if he comes on for 20 minutes, I mean. Oh, even five minutes just to say hello. Well, that was a disappointment because I had some really good, uh, male advice videos that it's a good thing Bart Robinson let me know. He says that the sound of live show from Las Vegas. Yeah. Well, he told me, he says, I can't, the, the, the video, the audio coming from the video was muted. I go, you kidding me? So I, I, I. Kill the radio. You got to, um, you got to wear the, uh, remember the, remember the gold satin robe that's Sylvester Salon. Yes. Or it's an Italian stallion on it. Yes. It was, it was like, uh, like a Ferrari symbol. Kind of. And it was, it was a rocky view. That was when Mr. T, uh, knocked them out. Yeah. And then Apollo trained out in Los Angeles. Yeah. You're right. That was a rocky three because I guess he lost his money. And, um, so, so club line, that was, uh, Mr. T said, you're not a man. You can't support your wife. Come on, man. Mrs. Um, I'll show you where the real man is. Why don't you bring your pretty, pretty little stuff over to my apartment? Yes. I'll show you where the real man's all about. Yeah. You're not used to having a real man. So what happened was, yeah, that was when Paulie, Paulie gave power of attorney to a person that shouldn't have power of attorney. Right. Um, I'm surprised he, he was able to sign something like that if he, if he's not Rocky Balboa. How, how, how does Paulie, what gives Paulie the legal right to sign? Because, because Rocky probably gave him that at some point. That's why a dope, a dopey guy like that. So, yeah.  Yeah. Power of attorney and then he let him dry. Well, actually, but actually he, he was paying everything. Well, I don't think he really owned a lot of the stuff that was taken away. I think there were, there were, there were still being paid off. You know, everything that Manchin that, see, this is a problem. People knew for rich people that come from being poor to rags to riches like the song. Rags to riches. That was, that was Tony Bennett, wasn't it? I think so. Those are from guys and dolls. Rags to riches, the song. Yeah. Might have been. So anyway, people that go from rags to riches, they, they, it goes to their head. They get all exuberant and, and they get too excited and enthusiastic. And he starts spending money like, like, like it was nothing, you know. And they start, they start buying all kinds of luxuries and every day they put, they put their money away. I know. You know, they don't, they don't do it the smart way. They don't, the smart way is not to let some certified financial planner invest the oil, your money, this, exactly the smart thing because, because the brokers are usually brokered on you. Yep. The smart thing to do is to put it all in a triple tax-free municipal money market fund and live off the interest. And if any, any long lost relatives ring your doorbell and say, Oh, remember me? We used to play in a sandbox together. We were supposed to go to lunch the last time I started at the funeral. Right. Right. And they go, who are you? I don't remember you. You're my cousin. I don't know you. Yeah. Sorry. Can't give you any money. It's all locked up. Exactly. It's all locked up. It's locked up. Because, you know, you're going to get a lot of calls if you win like the Powerball Water. You're going to get a lot of people contacting you. Yep. Exactly. You live off the interest. That's all you spend. Anyways, we have a good life in that's neither here nor there. So I don't like that. What, what, what could I do with this?   Well, you already have all the equipment. And I train every day and that's what I like doing. I like good coffee. I like, I love to go to Dunkin' Donuts with you and talk for six hours. Sometimes, let everybody know on the show. So James and I, you know, we end up going to lunch. So then, um, I go for a cup of coffee. Okay.  We literally just had lunch. How, how did it get to be one o'clock? Because we have so much to talk about the days fly by. Yeah. You didn't, you didn't even get a crawler, either. Yeah. And then the pull lady get accosted by this. Both of us leave it at that. But the pull lady, she was looking at us. Remember? Yeah.  We should have got up. We should have got up all the air ball to you out there. And he thugs. There's two young thugs. And she was middle age. She was a pretty woman. Yeah. They were bothering her. They're bothering her. She looked like she was from like the Philippines or something. Yeah. Little nice, nice dress. And the two young punk thugs trying to shake her down. And then James and I go, hey. Yeah. But you know what I, you know what I was waiting for? I was waiting for the pussy manager to say something. Oh, they're not going to do anything. Because you know why? Because they'll wait for him outside. At two o'clock in the morning. They'll wait for him to retaliate. I, yeah.  Yeah. And it's not worth it. I mean, to get mugged outside Dunk of Donuts at two o'clock in the morning with no cops around.  Yeah, I hear you. I don't know. I mean, all I can do is call the cops without them seeing him call the cops. But it can't say, let's say, excuse me, what's your name? What time do you get off work?  Well, no, it's probably not him that says to do that. It's probably the franchise owner to say, if there's any crimes in here, don't get in the middle of it. Just call the police. Yeah. Well, maybe the woman, it was up to the woman being harassed to say something to the manager there. Then again, she's probably afraid of retaliation. Who knows? I mean, when she went down to Donuts, she went in there with the idea, I'm going to buy a coffee or an iced coffee. She didn't expect to be accosted. Right. Otherwise she would have stayed in a car. So poor woman. But what do we know? Yeah. We're not the elites. That's what that's what it's good to make one of those weapons that the CIA agent. Yeah. And then one of our mutual friends has the cargo pocket, but we won't mention his name because he needs that in an enmity so he could do his job. At this place of employment, which we will not mention. There's two gadgets. He has the slack jack. Yep. And that wooden thing. So yeah. Well, it's leather and lead. It's lead inside, right? Yeah, that's the slack jack. But I'm talking about the other thing. It looks like, um, do you see this thing? But it's wooden and it's got grooves in it. So you don't lose your grip. And you go like this. It's got like, so it doesn't stab the person. But boy, oh boy, they'll feel like on the side of their goddamn rib. Yeah. He has, he has the rechargeable paddle fraud, the high voltage. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. One of those too. He has some, he plugs it in, in the car. It keeps it in his car. Good. And he keeps it. He says, oh, that thing is on me, ma'am. When I'm, when I'm, when I'm in the platinum dolls. Oh, we weren't going to mention, but that's okay. Um, radio killed the radio. He said, he zaps some, uh, unruly, uh, hooligan in the balls one time. Yeah. Some tough guy. Yeah. Some tough guy that throws a manhandle, uh, a 90 pound woman. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the slap jack is, uh, he said, what's, what's good is that you, you can knock somebody out without like lacerating them because it's like a, it's a beaver. It's like a beaver jack. Which is like, when you can slap somebody, silly with this poop. Yeah. Well, my, my shalei can probably do damage too, right? Shalei, shalei, shalei.  A large nut and he made a lark knot with a very strong cord and you swing it and he hit, he hit the windshield of a vehicle and it totally put a hole in the windshield and, and, and shattered it in that one area by swinging the nut around like a propeller. So he was just showing a devastating, such a cheap, simple legal weapon that you can't get in trouble with. Because it's a nut. Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't. Wow. Let me see if, uh, what's, what's a Japanese girl's name that comes on the show? Masumi. Oh, Masumi. Yeah. It's pretty early by her now. It's, uh, sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you know, pump, pump, pump, pump. I know she should be, do that on the gauze. Sometimes you feel like a nut, pump, pump. Sometimes you know pump, pump, pump, pump. Stranges in the night.  Yeah, they can't it's legal. That's legal not in the gym But it's probably absolutely. Okay there everybody will stop and stare at you No Wait a minute. It's a policy competition to everybody screams the owner the owner Oh, the commercial gym like Monday to Friday.  There was one guy like that I Was working in gold ship. It was one guy that they were doing that and he was like everybody was laughing at him and And you know, it's even worse if they the guy kept looking himself in the mirror.

I don't I have absolutely no idea why they go there Embellish something that's not really And you know what that's not necessary The the young kids in these countries they they want to swing the steel the modern looking steel ones They they don't they don't you don't see them swinging the wooden ones, but I think the wooden ones are Much much better for swinging. Yeah the grip. There's no grip like it like the wood. Yeah, it's incomparable It's incomparable the the feel of the because it's still mace. I need to put white chalk on my hands Right, my son the wooden the wooden Persian real I don't need chalk in my hands Actually, you never want to put chalk when it's wouldn't like even the hickory the hickory Hence pole small Put chalk and it has a sort of hickory It'll be a deadly projectile There's no need It's the natural gripping ability of wood is second to none. Now. What's his name? Pratya. He's starting to make Persian meals just like caution they look exactly the same. Hmm and And I think the hardwood India has some really durable hardwoods from what I understand The Persian use walnut Hickory is still one of the most durable of all words. I was I was told that the oak is tough, but when oak breaks. Mmm.  Yeah, I'm doing lateral raises with my thumbs up Because with what happens with a lot of exercises it hits the anterior deltoid the front Yeah, and then when you do when you do rowing you're hitting the posterior deltoid in the back and the side deltoid Lateral head the side deltoid gets neglected So that's why I'm doing the lateral raises, but I'm using the the eight-pound Persian meals Every every now and then I have no problem Play with your song You believe me softly Now Eric it with his heavy metal band is up in Portland, Maine That was Roberta Flack to have a gig Portland, Maine I'm trying to look for a pal of to meet in November down in Jersey Or I want a vintage strength games in October November in New Jersey, New York a connect to get Connect to cunt connect to get or Delaware or something.

I'm gonna close up the show because uh, you know, we've been holding the fort and um We're doing a good job. I mean, uh, I was uh I was attempting to show this video of this guy named the coach george Bruno And he was talking about Do not Gentlemen do not waste your time and money On women that do not reciprocate Absolutely.  I have we have we have to get acquainted He says, I mean, she's got another guy She's she's got another guy or she's looking for another one.

Just abort it. Hmm. Yeah, it made a lot of sense. He says I know I know this because of a lifetime of experience. I've been there and I've done that Oh 11 minutes paul mantaya hold on paul is out today Finally after 70 is at my second home doing huge things here today He's got a big festival. He's playing the bongo drum.  Oh my god.  He's got he he has like uh like musicians with him.  Is he showing like his fashion? Does he have it?  James.

I mean jordy. I have no idea Yeah So you're you should be about ready to bang up the all 15 minutes about 15 minutes. Yeah 15 minutes. Okay So, um, let's talk about uh See you You have the right approach Your your approach is The fountain of you you have optimum fitness optimum nutrition by eating healthy foods You're getting fiber um You got plenty of fresh air up there. Hmm I mean you you're doing all the right things And you have goals your fitness is connected to goals which happens to be You signing up for these events Hmm which um Is a good thing because you're you're in a lot better shape now than you were in the past Mm-hmm.  No, you can't That's why they're training that stuff at home Oh, they they're afraid of my they're ignorant.  Um, oh, yeah The mark wildman, um model Yeah Yeah, absolutely How how heavy could the wild man mace become if you loaded it up? Um I mean if you I have this thing at home It has a diagram Yeah, like all the weights if you get this much weight on it. It's a five pounder or two and a half pound or I'll I think it goes up to 42 pounds or something like that. Oh, wow But not 42 it must come up to 37 pounds or something, but it's in the No, that's big mid to high 30s, but I mean for for I wouldn't even Know that almost got put the hurt on person I mean that that's the Ken Thieson would do that type of stuff Even even even 40 30 35 40 pound mace would would Would really injure somebody the only guy who should be doing that really is a guy like Ken Thieson or somebody of that caliber and of that Well, he's he's the exception to the rule. Yeah, but a normal person should not put that much weight on a mace because The bones in the ligaments the tens in your elbows They're not Ken Thieson.  Yeah, everybody wants to chase them Because nobody it don't get done. It's kiss out. Oh, you could do a 15 pound mace or did you do a 20 pound? Adam Cohen does not really care He's more concerned about getting a 42 double d To put under his t-shirt Yeah, well these people These people feel self-conscious if somebody And this is the bad thing about a gymnasium is somebody belittles them for swinging a 15 pound mace You know if somebody like some a person that we know Braggs Is braggadocious about his 50 pound mace And said, oh, I can't swing anything less than 50 pounds. Oh, it's too light for me. It's too light for me Right, they're gonna they're gonna make all these young guys feel bad You know, so what's gonna happen the kids are gonna try to swing heavy And and the polyvon the guy that owns the zircony in in California he told He told the Richard maguire don't do not swing heavy You know, he's he knows the iron cheek very well, he says do not swing heavy You're gonna you think You're gonna injure yourself All right, I think that we should probably wrap it up. Yeah, damn right. That's right. Thank you. No, thank you, sir Thank you And uh, hopefully we'll get next we'll get michael hilton jordy Um, um, um, mr. Von raven mcvon raven Even much so many so must be everybody's busy today Yeah, you know, she she must have be so she must be so tired because she's She's involved in a big project She's she's moving her salon into her living room At her home because they raised a rent on the salon. She was they jacked up the rent. So She the good thing is 90 99 percent of all No, actually all their customers are willing to come to Her home So but she's in a process of throwing out so much garbage And and you know, she's gonna move She says I want to move by me because I don't want to pay a month's rent for me Yeah, and uh, that's what she's doing. She's been very tired because you know, we're taking care of customers throwing out garbage She's just she probably just overslept. Yeah, you know, but anyway, uh Everybody Bart Robinson Thank you Commodore jesse and bellow. Thank you I think that's it. There's nobody else here It was a good day It was good better better days are coming. Yep. All right. Talk to you later. Bye. Bye


All right, so what we've already described is that pretty much everything's driven by this infamous Q-Widget and Everything is driven by signals and slots So let's really look at what's the best way to use a signal and slot and why would you do it a specific way? Like I said earlier, there's multiple ways of doing this. So we're just going to make a Q dialog app next next finish to crack open our dialogue here and And Let's go ahead and add a few things. We're going to say include Q debug Yeah, let's go ahead and include Q date time We've covered these pretty in-depth in our Qt core series But in case you don't know what they are you can always look them up in the official documentation You can also select something and press F1 and it'll bring up the documentation for you Just in case you're ever confused Now buyer beware the documentation is world-class, but it's usually not the complete story So when in doubt always refer to Google or tutorials So we've got Qt debug Qt date time Debugs going to allow us to put debug messages out onto the console and Date time is going to allow us to work with while you guessed it dates and times We're going to make three distinct buttons here. Let's actually go out to our UI And let's resize our dialogue a little bit and we're going to make three buttons Just gonna wherever I feel like on the form here And we're going to say internal Let's call this button internal Let's call this editor and you may have guessed what we're going to be doing here We're going to connect signals and slots up in different manners and see which one's the appropriate way for different situations here And this one's going to be called connect Now in case you're wondering why I'm typing on the button correctly instead of using This little object inspector here. It really doesn't matter which way you do it Both of them are going to give you the same results. So I could have very easily just said text and then Connect and then you notice how it keeps the filter as I select objects There we go. I'm going to you guessed it set a vertical layout here that way. It just looks nice and pretty So we have three buttons Save and run just to make sure we get a good build and our beautiful application does absolutely nothing Let's go ahead and fix that problem So let's flip back to our dialogue real quick and what we're going to do here is we're going to add a private slot I'm gonna say private slots and let's just say avoid Do stuff the ever descriptive do stuff Right-click Refractor and then we're going to add the definition inside of representation notice how you have different options I almost always do it inside of the implementation file that way. It's nice neat easy to follow All right now in our implementation file what we want to do is actually be able to see what's going on So we're gonna say Q info this comes from our Q to bug import and we want to say hey it was clicked Then we get the Q date time Get the current date and time and we want to just do a simple two string Make life super easy on us and then we're just going to accept this out Now notice how except is being called and this will close the form So if you want to comment that out for testing you can and we may actually just do that just so we can See it in action here. Now, let's jump back here. We've got our three buttons. We've got an internal We've got the editor and connects. So let's look at internal Internal is just you know, if you're kind of in a hurry and you just want to go bang bang You're just gonna click drag and then we're gonna say clicked and then we want to just accept it and that works great in a pinch We can save and run this and It's gonna work as expected. No questions asked, but It didn't put any output. We didn't see that little debug message That's one of the gotchas of it is it's really not super helpful unless you just want to call a Slot right away and you don't really care about what's gonna happen The other way is using the editor where you actually right-click go to slot And you can see how well we have clicked In the Q abstract button we have Q widget with Q object But we don't have direct access into this dialogs slots like if we go back in here real quick Remember we made this slot, but we don't have access to it so This is kind of just hey if you want to build a special function for it without having to go through the hassle hassle of building your own slot Then we'll just go in here, and then we could just call this directly. So now we can save and run You know how now we have our Debug info Where if we click this because it's just that internal it's not gonna do it Let's go ahead and clear all that out Now let's look at the last way of doing things and this is actually Some people call it the preferred mains, but it really doesn't matter. It just depends on how you want to do it So we're going to connect this up And we're going to connect the UI notice how when we do Dot we now see our controls here. So we're gonna do the button connect and I'm gonna say you push button and we want the clicked Signal do the signal not the slot. So I say clicked and then we're gonna connect this to our dialogue Now we can call our slot directly Now if this is really confusing and you've never done this before I would highly recommend you read up on Q object bit of shameless advertising take my Cute core for beginners intermediate advance on you to me Or just run some tests yourself and there's a lot of documentation how to connect signals and slots But the basic structure is you're calling connects and you're saying this object This signal is gonna connect to this objects slot So when this happens run this that's really what you got to focus on when this happens run this and honestly Your UI designers doing pretty much the same thing you see right here slot except So signal So you got the sender is the button the signals clicked the receivers the dialogue the slot is accept So it's doing all this for you in the background Now what is the preferred method? What really depends on what you're trying to get done here? So Save and run if you just want to call it and you don't care and it's kind of a built-in thing Yes doing the internals perfectly fine if you want to make your own little function here and do some extra stuff here Like well, then you would do the editor method, which is where you right-click the button and go to slot Otherwise usually the best method is you actually create your own connection. That way you could fully manage what's going on So let's do that and let's finish this app up and really demonstrate here. So Let's call this cute critical Actually, let's do Q debug instead Do I have an extra Q in there? I do how embarrassing. All right We're just going to debug some stuff out and say extra stuff and let's save this And let's run so we can connect signals and slots automatically by the internal and nothing happens Run that again. We've done it through the editor We're calling the special function that it created for us and we can add some extra stuff and call other functions You see extra stuff clicked and then the actual connect code that we did our self This is like the highest degree of control right here. So that really demonstrates the three different methods I hope you enjoyed this video. It's part of a larger project out of you to me called cute widgets for beginners with C++ This is a large course with 73 lectures and 17 hours of video footage This course covers everything from what is a widget all the way down to complete example applications Using the skills you've learned in this course Sorry, there's no QML in this course This is strictly cute widgets I will make a QML course later on but this just focus on widgets from a beginner's perspective Even those as a beginner's course you do need to have some fundamental information available You need to know C++ and the cute core lives I do have some courses available out on you to me cute core beginners in a mean advance It's not necessary you take these courses, but it is highly recommended And as always I'm available out on the void realms Facebook group along with 3,000 other programmers. See you there


You will wiggle and beg and pray for the gift of death." By now, we all know that action film superstar Liam Neeson has a very particular set of skills. But did you know he also owns a very particular set of homes in North America that he's bought over the course of his one of a kind movie career? That's right, this Irish-born actor has primarily called the US home over the past two decades as he's continued to star in banger, after banger, after banger. Sorry, wrong Irish guy. But let's not waste any more time because we're sure to check out all of Liam Neeson's US addresses. And we're gonna start with his former bungalow in LA. Also, Michael and I have dropped our own house tour of our new home that we moved into this year, so go ahead and subscribe to our personal channel if you want to see where we're living and more of what we're up to. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Moved to Los Angeles in the late 80s to kickstart his film career. Having already established himself across the pond in the UK, Liam believed that it was time to carve out his own little corner of Hollywood. And to do so, he wound up securing a three-bedroom bungalow to operate as his home base that was originally built in the 1950s. Considering he both bought and sold this place nearly three decades ago, not much is known about this 1,400-square-foot house. But it is said to have both in an L-shaped swimming pool and was once even owned by the late actor Scott Brady before Liam moved in. But sometime around 1994, shortly after being nominated for an Academy Award for his work in Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List, Liam would decide, well, that he had had enough of living in Hollywood. He was quoted telling the LA Times, I still get a kick out of waking up in Los Angeles, the sunshine, you know, but I don't think I'll stay there too much longer. And as a matter of fact, he didn't. Having just recently entered into a relationship with the woman who would become his wife, Natasha Richardson, these two, decided to move east and after selling Liam's original LA home for about $439,000, they then bought themselves a Central Park West Department in New York City. An notoriously private individual, Liam would never show off the inside of this penthouse suite. But reports suggest that he spent at least $1.4 million on it. Or you know, almost triple what he sold his California house for. It's also unclear how much time Liam or Natasha spent here. After a little over 15 years of ownership, Liam would list this apartment in 2010 for $1.35 million, describing the home as a corner unit with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, beam ceilings, and having lots of closet space in a full service building with its own gym. The listing would be earmarked as quote unquote price to sell and there's really no denying that. After all, Liam was asking for less than he originally paid for it some 16 years earlier. It only took Liam 5 days to find a motivated buyer. Big surprise with one of a kind deal like that. And afterwards, Liam would retire to his epic Millbrook, New York estate. Purchased within a year of his New York apartment, Liam and his wife Natasha were also the proud owners of a 37-acre estate located just outside of Millbrook, New York. First built in 1890, this home was purchased by the happy couple prior to getting hitched. And soon after, they'd hold their marriage ceremony in the garden here. Following their wedding, the couple's two sons would arrive soon after as Liam and his growing family began to fill up as much of this sprawling 34,000-square-foot farmhouse estate as they possibly could. Well, the centerpiece of this home is Liam's colonial style mansion, a structure that takes up nearly 6,000 square feet all by itself. This house not only offers plenty of space, but each bedroom is said to be equipped with its own adjoining bathroom along with a host of other add-ons. Well, let's start with the outside. Here, you'll find a spectacular greenhouse on site which is right beside the garden where Liam and Natasha exchange their vows. Outback, peace and tranquility are never far off thanks to the lake located right on site. The nearby grounds are also set to house an international-sized tennis court as well as a gigantic outdoor patio that's perfect for hosting a ton of famous friends. Moving to the inside, I'm sure you'll be quite taken by Liam's interiors. I'm sorry I had to. Not only are there countless conversation pieces scattered around an incredible living room, but there's also a gorgeous grand staircase nearby that adorns the inside foyer with its equally elegant chandelier hanging from the ceiling above. A short walk from there is the breakfast nook with its very own fireplace and if you're looking to add a little more class to your dining experience, well, you can head on over to the dining room that's fit for a king. This is where Liam and Natasha used to love throwing epic dinner parties. A former co-worker on Liam's films would tell Men's Journal, they had a lovely house with a chef and every weekend they would invite six members of the crew and cook this fantastic dinner with beautiful wines. It was just the most lovely treat. Over in the master suite, it's not only quite spacious, it also features a windowsill bench and a fireplace that's sure to set the mood on those cold New York winter nights. The estate is said to boast other amenities like a massage parlor for relaxing after a long day of filming, an indoor golf simulator, a massive wine cellar, a luxurious indoor pool and even a custom movie theater. In fact, outside of the main house, the property has two antique barns located on site, one of which has been totally renovated to serve as an entertainment area which houses the theater alongside a billiards room and a state of the art fitness center to keep Liam looking his best well into his seventies.  Unfortunately, after 15 years of marital bliss, that would come to a crashing halt. In March of 2009, tragedy would strike Liam and his family when his wife Natasha found herself in a fatal accident while visiting Quebec's Montremblant ski resort. After falling on the beginner's slopes while taking a ski lesson and hitting her head, Natasha originally appeared to be fine. She even remained adamant that she was alright and refused to stay under watch. She checked herself out of the doctors by signing a waiver and walked 300 yards to the hotel along with her ski instructor. When she finally got back to her room, it wasn't long before paramedics received a second phone call asking for help. An ambulance arrived 10 minutes later. During this period, Natasha was still conscious but showing warning signs of serious trauma. She was transported to a hospital in Montreal before then being airlifted to New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital where Liam was already rushing to her side. Unfortunately, the worst came to pass.  She was only 45 years old. Officially, Natasha was taken off of life's support as she and Liam had once made a pact, promising one another they wouldn't let each other suffer. Liam explained to CBS News, she and I had a made a pact. If any of us got into a vegetative state, we'd pull the plug. My immediate thought was okay, these tubes have to go, she's gone. Five years later, Liam would reveal that Natasha's death wound up saving the lives of three other individuals, received donations of her working organs including her heart, liver and kidneys. Of course, Liam still misses her every single day. In fact, he continues to live in their former New York estate because of how much it reminds him of her. He continued to CBS News, there's periods now in our New York residents when I hear the door opening, especially the first couple of years.  Liam's beloved wife was then laid to rest and buried right nearby the properties that Liam can visit her whenever he wants. Kind of a heartbreaking ending, right?
