gonna have to wait and see this is this is a match we've seen plenty of times in the past so I would imagine both these players are ready for each other but again it's gonna come down to the tendencies now as we move in Johnny Keith dies is the next winners side match I feel like we haven't seen too much of Sonya lately you know we saw a lot of Sonya in the beginning of the season Brazil game that was a hell of a display of Sonya but now we'll have to wait to see if that's still gonna stick and here we go Tekken master versus combat trading projectiles to start us off and that's definitely not a trade in combat favorite at all so he's gonna have to go through this bullet hell this platformer that Tekken masters is performing rear big punish the advancing highs there from Johnny cage leading into some good damage and Tekken master fights himself a little bit closer to the corner trying to fight out wow where you're gonna see out of Sonya is a lot of overheads a lot of lows and that's a big punish there that is a huge mistake by combat force him off of the breakaway and now Tekken master has all the real sick he's just gonna back up here obviously you don't want anything to do with Johnny cage up close especially outtake but now combat not out of it just yet gonna inch his way forward he low-crushed it got right over it but hold on not just enough combat down to basically nothing here oh I respect that's right you know what some might say it's desperate I'm gonna say I think it's smart because everyone usually expects some sort of cancel and then we have that low of life you're probably gonna go for a jump over I think it was right to just let it rip and go for it start off this new round nice and fresh he just needs to be careful in this range right here cuz one with punished from either character is gonna hurt breaking away here and good block of the low but Tekken master does not put himself in any dangerous spot doesn't fully commit to it as he saw that did not get the hit good reversal punish good reversal punish here from combat Tekken masters gotta think twice about dropping those overhead drones for the rest of this set I like it combat is slowly trying to establish dominance like right outside sweep range the force Tekken master to think twice about throwing out those rings because like I said one with punish is crucial for either one of these players now the way I see it here I don't see you know Johnny Cage cannot refer to just the zoning oh big big punish there oh and the fatal blow not gonna be enough to seal the deal but just gonna be one throw one combo something away from taking this first game and scary enough one mix to go but we might not even see he has gonna have to go back through the minefield combat playing slow text to grab for his life he has to be careful one little mistake will cost him we can very easily take this round the minefield getting dangerous and getting clipped he stood up a little too soon thought the ring shots went past him and unfortunately that was the last hit he could possibly take had no more life and Tekken master takes that first game I wouldn't say convincingly maybe that first round definitely heavily in Tekken masters favor but combat was you know making the adjustments and okay I can't just refer to the zoning game I have to take risk I have to go in good that was a wow was that a ballsy drone drop that close or was that an input error I don't know but either way it works the second master to take a nice little deep breath of fresh air as he again just has all of this space to work with and this is the right take for Tekken master because it really keeps outtake Johnny at bay combat is not winning these traits he has to get in even though Sonya has you know 950 health as opposed to 1,000 it's still in her favor you know she recovers so quickly from those onion rings and the one crushing blow the single hitting from that amplified ring combat tried to make the read thinking that Tekken master wasn't gonna do the amplify goes for the shadow kick and eats that crushing blow but this is where combat wants to be he needs to keep this pressure going nice interrupt when he's letting the fatal blow rock I believe this is going to kill especially again Sonya oh yeah yeah she's got 950 she's got 950 health and you know it's but you are coming off of that finite resources you know we what we love to see from Johnny cage is the fact that he can dash cancel that fatal blow and kind of go in for like a throw mix go in for a shimmy or just let the fatal blow rock but now we're not gonna be seeing that at all for the remainder of this game and you know what that's a moral victory for combat to take that first round because Tekken master use the crushing blow off for the projectile and look at him he has the perfect positioning this is where you want to be if you're Johnny cage but he cannot let up because of Tekken master gets out of that corner combat has to start from scratch oh yeah and it looks like we're gonna know we're not gonna be switching over to the other side regular shots as combat does have the life lead here in this situation but we all know how fast I can turn around against a character like Sonya good awareness good reactions from combat to stop Sonya's advancement and going right into that down run rising star oh not sure what combat was doing at all but he definitely wasn't blocking and now Sonya and Tekken master has the life lead and has the space this is a nightmare for combat right now that was scary and he was ready to poke back train it didn't matter I'm ready to down one right after rising star gonna keep it safe with the amplified offensive bar rolling forward to close the gap between himself and his zoning opponent that's inching Tekken master towards the corner still has the potential to take it the breakaway Tekken master not out of it just yet goes for the foregrab and he steals the round away from combat and more so than that did not need to use that fatal blow so now one mix in the fatal blow if it comes down to it it's a massive hazard it is scary a very scary start here for combat but if you can outplay Tekken master just here just this round he's not gonna have to worry about it beautiful throw escape from Tekken master with the reaction the mid the reversal throw from combat a great option whenever you know your opponent's gonna be blocking down to what was he looking for where are these conversions he said all beautiful flawless block from there this is gonna give them a perfect opportunity to close out game number two and a jump over punch will certainly do the trick that was the weirdest scramble I've seen in a while there were so many drops but you know what that flawless block reversal by combat was perfect complete complete outplay there in the corner I mean what a different round that we saw there and especially after losing a round by just that tiny little bit it is so easy to get tilted so easy to get furious at the fact that you barely lost that round but combat was able to just keep his composure keep his head strong and just made the right play after right play after right play that is so rare to see in a competitive setting and it goes right back to what I was talking about earlier you're he's going combat is going to have trouble getting in but if he can manage to get that corner position or really just stay right on top regardless of where it is that's where he's gonna be able to thrive and he was able to do that in game number two and then took that convincing so now we are going into game number three second master is going to stick with Sonya I respect it because he's playing really well it just has to stay out of that corner now there are two corners on every stage so you know whichever way we're going of real and left or going right definitely in the favor of combat as long as that is not into the center of the arena it goes for the plus frames and then the forward we're gonna be able to clip home but again no conversion off of that combat's gotta tighten up at this level of play you cannot be dropping like that are you test are you saying he's not ready are you after seeing that what enough to hear from tech and master able to convert for a little bit more damaged and that down one a rising star was all he needed he actually didn't have the bar to amplify it or keep it safe so that could have been a very dangerous play you know either way it worked out for and combat is looking so much more comfortable as the sec gets later and later goes in for pressure trust I think he's trying to fade out like a poke from tech and master as you see him go for pressure then back up with that second master answering back decide to go in this time nice grab tech ready to react ready to escape there is taking master good block of the overhead and recognize the flawless block and just stopping right there and say you know what I'm going for a throw you want to follow us walk flawless block this throw I love the mix-off step combat starting to put in play going for the backups going for staggers company feeling confident that down to the call out on the breakaway so because he didn't break away second master left a lot of damage on the table he possibly should have just went for the regular combo there the down three trying to poke but nobody's home oh he wanted to get there but he just couldn't in time there was an onion ring between her and Johnny cage just breaking his ribs open big jump it doesn't get tested doesn't get anti-air it just gives combat the opening tech master is just this brick wall but that is definitely going to be able to chip out combat was just fishing for tech a master to hit any button and that would have certainly been a confirm into a fatal blow there nice use of the interact both back towards the corner but also about close he has wants to be able to slowly into play it I want to say that's why he was so willing to jump into the corner because he knows this corner has a great interactable to escape failed escape as combat mixing it up going with the back row instead of the more the more telling forward row break down to but hold on a second this is all combat tech and master has no defensive meter so combat you just get his hands on her he's gonna be able to chip her out one more time the down one to finish the deal and combat that one game away that micro step back by combat was beautiful he baited out that forward for it perfectly goes for the down one he knows he didn't have to overextend tech and master had no breakaway no defensive meter to work with and combat had a massive life lead those are the kind of decisions where you realize even though you're on occasion your pressure character it's okay to take a few steps back even if you're going up against a zoning play style like what we've been seeing so now tech and master sitting back calling over his coach it is time to think like we said tech and master has a lot of different characters at his disposal so it's a matter of who he's really gonna feel like he wants to bring out combat combat is sitting in a 2-1 lead yes after tech and master won the first game so he is tech and master went from feeling really good to losing two games in a row and that is just not a position where you want to be in both players are now talking to their coaches and let's watch with combat and then shark teeth with tech and master let's talk about their coaches I mean these are two sets of friends that have been through almost everything when it comes to Mortal Kombat 11 you know this whole weekend I did not see tech and master playing anyone except for shark teeth just grinding out different matchups different scenarios over and over again and Splash being another Brooklyn native to combat up there you know sharing words of wisdom maybe seeing something that combat is not paying attention to maybe certain tendencies but this is very scary stuff very dark waters that we're going into because we don't know what the other player with the competitor the other competitor just found out from their coach so this is gonna be possibly a very different outcome here it's always good to get insight from a fresh set of eyes especially I mean being former competitors we know sometimes it's good to take a step back and maybe there's something that you're missing that the other person is not so hopefully we'll have to see if the wise words from both coaches will be playing off as we see a switch to upgraded Jackie from Tekken Master I cannot say I'm surprised that was the most beautiful anti-air I've seen all day so far is that gonna set the tone for this counter pick is that gonna set the tone for what Tekken Master was reaching for who knows combat can react to the best of them and again this is what we were talking about earlier upgraded Jackie's one of those big characters as of late but people know how to deal with that they've done their homework especially coming in the final combat a missed conversion by combat that could have easily taken the round but cracking the team closing out round number one we talk about how fast you have to hit that down to when Jackie with throw it's not the same static animation on everybody else Jackie pulls herself back so quickly in combat was able to react just like nothing seeing a lot of misconversions the tensions are super high right now but combat looks so comfortable and you know he's been playing this match up a ton this was one of the matches that you just had to be ready for interrupting every gap that he possibly can and establishing just this corner dominance Tekken Master off of the breakaway this is all combat right now and respecting that and Jackie that mid that does start a lot of damage combat ready to block ready to react but hold on looking for an anti-air but not fighting and that is gonna be off she wrote combat taking it three one over Tekken Master a few amazing reads and you know a couple of risks to going for those down to use was very scary but you know what it paid off every single time and that was a beautiful performance by combat in a beautiful display of

g something like this it being seen as a backward stepper over now oh yeah big time absolutely like take matthew mcconnelly as a perfect example i mean that was somebody it definitely was a big it was a it was a kick for his career in the right direction i mean he said that himself it was a big thing so i was very excited for this and the story gets us uh uh up and running straight away we are in alaska and we're in that time of the year for a mention this last week where it's dark for like months on end the sun does not rise and uh some scientists in uh research facility vanish into the night and jody foster was one of the detectives on the case so what's her baggage her baggage is that she's raising uh a teenager or late teens girl who is not her biological daughter from what i could figure out from the first episode and there's a there's a yeah on her own yeah on her own on her own yeah and she's been a hot shot detective and she's been kind of yeah yes she's in this backwater yes she's kind of being shoved to this place like in the far north uh because there is a town quite near uh well not quite near but you know within within a radius of the research facility and there's a cold case that is going to bear irrelevance to the right i've seen something like this before i presume that's a reference to it is it yes uh yeah there's there's a defined i won't say too much but they find something at the crime scene that makes one person think oh this is like that case five years ago so there's a thing going on there so i was very excited about this and i have to say i uh and the critics have embraced it big time i mean checking my notes here 93 percent on rotten tomatoes that's almost universal acclaim 67 from audiences and i did not enjoy the first episode at all why because the storytelling for me was quite lazy they had a great hook to try and drag it over six episodes i agree uh the first the hook at the start pulled me in and then they stopped talking about the missing scientists they were like whoa can you believe that that happened anyway let's get back to traffic detail and that bugged the hell out of me and i had other issues with regard to the detective and this one now is is probably going to be quite controversial but this is my take on it she arrives at the crime scene and there's like in order to make her seem super smart they've written the other lead male detective as being a doofus which is it is it something you see on everything that's fine in scream but yeah yeah he's like uh well i don't think anything's wrong here they're probably just the whole step are you sure that's not reflective of the police force in elaska elaska oh but you're getting controversial now you'll be getting in the text messages from elaska but her skill set and this is what really bugged me about it early on she looks around and she looks at a sandwich and she says not that may it is on that sandwich that's being like that for 48 hours and then she walks around and she's like oh the washing that wash has been left in that washing machine for at least 48 hours could start to stink so her skill set coming into the crime scene are she's a housewife she's a mother she's a woman it's like she can only solve this case because she doesn't know where you're going with that she can make sandwiches and she could do washing you said she and she went she you see go ahead dahi come on you can i just say i've watched two episodes okay i'm really liking it um so opposite there and i think they're set they said the character that's what they do in a first episode so she's a mother but she's a crack detective that's where i'm seeing that you know and they're just establishing the character what about the the gender roles like dom fella uh uh woman can use housewife background solve crime i'm not i'm not paraphrasing you okay but let's just say that's it do you do you do you recognize that yeah but i mean you know are there any new stories to be told or are there any new setups you know the main kind of it's how well you do it yeah but there's also in this there's a native american or first nations element going on because obviously we're in Alaska there's you know original um the original people there yeah are there so there's that and there's a bit of a supernatural suggestion yeah whether it was mentioned last week yeah whether that continues or not i don't know that bugged me too come on that was there was there was so unsubtle like i mean there was full-on ghosts walking around no that was yeah but where does that end up do you know what i mean where are they going with it yeah i think until you see i think i think to some extent michael and you're perfectly uh equipped to correct me if i'm wrong is that you kind of went into this expecting something and it's not fitting into yes kind of what you hoped it might be yeah rather than watching this completely fresh um sort of it i think so actually this is something a little bit do you think maybe you went in there hoping for just a procedural i think yeah i want a procedural and one thing one of the critics who raved about it i want to ask this today one of the critics i read this morning who raved but it said it's lynchian it's like david lynch made this i didn't like i don't like david lynch or twin peaks but dahi do you think there's a david lynch thing in this i'm a massive david lynch fan see now we're getting down to the critical points here um i don't need everything wrapped up i don't need everything i do you know i like things left to the imagination i like your own interpretation being there i'm not sure it is that lynchian i get what they're saying i guess that they're sort of hanging this supernatural possibility out there that would mean to be an old girl that would i'd steer away from that load for it to be more but it might not be that i know i think it's interesting with the first nations they like to do that because dark winds is a great detective diaries that i'm set on a reservation that i watched in two seasons i'd highly recommend that and they do sort of because of the religion and the spirituality of the first nations people in america they do like to leave those things sort of in there as possibilities as ideas you know it makes no sense i i get that i do i i see that stuff but if we're global audience maybe people might feel that they're being fed that when they're not interesting it but there's boxes to be ticked but maybe it comes back but i see but you see but when when i see audience scores versus critic scores the critics get that and think about that yes appreciate it and want it but what the audience is what the audience wants and i think that's often why we see this discrepancy between but anyway uh so far out of ten for you dahi or anything else you want to add to it sorry because you've watched two episodes i'm probably giving it an eight at the moment okay that's very positive so far yeah um you i think you need to wait and see the second episode four or five at the moment and i'll be honest there's so many other things i may not get two episode two i'll think long and hard about it but so much other stuff okay yeah and that's honest too i watched uh a start of week uh american nightmare and netflix it's a documentary and i like documentaries when they're done very well and this one is done very well i would recommend people watch it's a really interesting story what's it about it is about a the what i would say to anyone who is watching american nightmare is don't even read the two lines that netflix have put up oh i know because if you watch it without that yeah it's in three parts and it all makes sense it's like wow okay you know what i mean now if you do read that and watch it you'll still enjoy it but there's a it's just the weight it's designed not to have those two lines describing it because this reveals at the end of each episode okay but anyway um there's a home invasion in america in 2015 or something like that there um the the fellas in the house he says i was tied up my girlfriend was kidnapped um and they won a ransom and i was had to follow these instructions but from the get go it's very clear that the the police think he's just making all of this okay and it's around about the time gone girl was released as well so the media jump on this and uh i don't want to say anymore about it but it's in three parts it's very easy to consume there's great access to the characters involved and there's people aren't you put off by the the tranche of of documentaries that are just talking heads cheapest documentaries you could ever make but this one is really really quite good it's got access to all the key players interview footage place cam footage you know that kind of stuff so american nightmare if any of you out watch that uh everyone out there watch that let us know what you think oh wait

festive fave considering it's no days after watching it kevin indon low thanks kevin uh pun central appreciate it thank you very much indeed kevin brilliant indeed all right uh a dean doherty's manager of donagall film office and joins us on the program hi edine hi greg it's a bumper year 2024 isn't it for films with a donagall connection coming to the big screen in this year um and this is the culmination obviously of years of of work behind the scenes getting them here getting them shocked getting them filled and getting them ready for release but great for donagall yeah it's incredible we've had a really good year last year with almost 9.2 million of an investment into the county and local spans and when you add them all it brings us into a whole other level so we've been delighted with the um you know the i suppose the activity and what's been going on um and hopefully we'll see all of them you've been screened this year across various different platforms and thankfully 24 is kicking off well again and it is uh it is amazing success not least down to uh your office but do you think we need to build on this now uh in a more sort of coordinated way um and i'm sure everything is done really professionally don't get me wrong and it's all there but is it is it in a way that it is more attractive or more accessible for people thinking of shooting in this part of the world i think that what has been happening i suppose is that we've kind of been almost sitting in a space where things have been coming to us and we have been chasing work down and i and in recent times um the ecosystem within the county is growing and developing all the time and people are returning to the county and saying you know we should need to do it for ourselves not least in the development of aerical studios um with the team that we're behind the buffet and they're pushing into that space and thankfully that's moving forward at pace and i suppose really what the intention behind that is that that's exactly what we do is that we are in a space so we're able to attract in a different type of product um the same types of products and we're also able to expand the offering into things like commercials and tv dramas and documentaries that we probably and on the x or field that we probably haven't been doing to the extent that we could be um and it's creating that cluster creating an idea that you would have the opportunity to build something meaningful in this county and that you're able to retain talent that you be able to develop that talent and that you're also able to create jobs and great good jobs that are in this space are generally paid about 27 higher and come than the average in Ireland so they're high-end jobs they're really good quality jobs and then in turn that you know is extended into the local economy where people are living here and being able to spend their money here yeah because we can demonstrate that we can demonstrate to suppose individually that we have it all we have the extras when they come up here you know we've got the the equipment that's required we've got the accommodation clearly obviously we've got the scenery we've got the supports in there um and it's just to suppose having that in a so that it's uh it's markedable in that i mean it's all there it's just a case of making sure we maximize the market for it yeah that's absolutely it and i think that it's also by retaining the capability that's in the region i mean and also because it's sporadic and the work is sporadic to a greater elastic extent and we're dependent on servicing the industry at the moment and that's really it's but like a servicing a car we're not building the cars so we want to build it from the centre out if that makes sense and you know really we've been very lucky because the likes of the cry from the sea are four letters of love when you have the likes of you know um some of the talent that has been around that you know you have ampere's bras and putting up at the end of the year last year his best year photographs and that includes one of donnie gall him standing on a beautiful beach in donnie gall and remembering the great time that he had there you know that film tourism piece is hugely important it's dominic cooper doing a piece for us on love donnie gall day where he said his growl on donnie gall ask you like that you know those kind of things you can't sell and that just goes around the world as being you know incredible from a donnie gall perspective yeah for sure we know the value of it from that point of view and you're right we have everything there that's needed but we do need to build that and retain that talent then that is here we want to be able to say to people like you know if you're coming back to donnie gall you can stay here and we legitimately can provide you with enough work to keep you sustained and that's really what we want to try and do so alongside that i suppose is in yeah go ahead adine alongside that what no just building the talent then and allowing young people to have made the decision that they're going to take a chance on this is that then they are as they say they've been learning the skills they're getting the opportunity to do the training in their own county and they're they're getting the opportunity then to work and develop that skill set within the county so that some of the films cry from the sea like can you the five films that are coming out cry from the sea who's involved in that so cry from the sea is um sarah gaden sarah bulger adin kwan and dominick cooper dominick cooper is of abba fame um and adin kwan would have been here before and would have been in um you know the previous film was made here by the same company um a shine of rainbows which really did catapult to donnie gall into a different space i suppose from this perspective um and then in four four letters of love is helene burnham carter pierce brawlsman and gabriel burn um and again they're huge films from our perspective and then we had fiddle gorham which is a lovely film that was made here locally ask eliga and that's bar in the government shawarma kelly um and searshan walk then is currently being shot in ghidor and delighted that we have our online producer on that film eileen rafferty it's amazing that we have somebody now in the county that's in the head of department situation and we also have a huge amount of local talent there's a wonderful fellow there called eric sweeney who's the location manager and eric trained on other films that were in the county under a fella called gordon which really is one of the top locations managers in ireland now he's able to step up into that space and develop that skill set within his own county and those types of things you can't you can't buy that and adean finally i think i've probably uh got more chance of getting your bank you can't details than than any uh firm details on what's coming up because you have to be so secretive but the conveyor belt if i could put it like that there are we are we seeing you know some consistency in inquiries on new projects and what have you i think that one of the things that'll happen this year i mean certainly we have a lot of people as i always say something about there's a couple of things that we're excited about um and as you i've said too many times before greg that's only happening when we're you know standing in line for the breakfast in the morning you know until the trucks are turned down the road it's not happening and it really can be sometimes as you know down to the wire as that um i think that the piece that will help determine uh the success of new projects continuing to be made in the region is section 481 and the regional list and the regional investment and i think that the regions have been pumping above their weight and it's delightful to see desiree you know who's the chief executive of screen ireland acknowledging that and acknowledging the importance of the regions and look i think that's what we want to position ourselves as a player in that space is building the talent is building the skill and being able to compete to the best of all right adene thank you so much indeed adene darty manager of the donagall film office it's really interesting isn't it dahi to sort of hear of the amount of money coming in the multiplier on that money the films that are coming through it's kind of like um for a lot of us it's kind of like a hidden industry up here we hear road closures here and there and stuff but you know what i mean it's absolutely and i mean i know where i live near me um in rath mullen they did one of those films one of the erish language films and friend was telling me he ended up doing the catering on it so you know the economy was getting all that and he was like it's great because it's a quiet time of year you know um so it does it's all those kind of hidden things isn't it i must say i've been so impressed with adene and what she's done with the film office um on limited time and resources and i think it would be fantastic if you know there was more resources and time and i think it could really really scream the success from the hilltops until after the facts yeah yeah because obviously there's you know so many yeah but i think there's a lot of attraction in donagall you know i mean it's interesting that a lot of like the film isn't letter kenny they're not coming to donagall in a sense for maltern ireland are they they're it's that attraction if we're setting something a little bit back so we go out into the regions and things are less yeah you know and that was seen in in the lee and eastern film donagall looked lovely and donagall's actually nice that looked in the film even though it looked lovely but i think laugh at people going uh that you know people questioning the geographical accuracy of it all you know that look yeah it was great you know walking in one village and going into a pub that's in another village and stuff but that's but that's excitement of having the local knowledge yeah exactly i have to say as well i mean adene mentioned the both the bothy there which is the uh film facility the editing facility and during the lockdown when we were doing shows online um we all had to skill up very quickly for that so david from the bothy actually did an online tutorial on video editing for us you know so in that way those skills are there and they're being used for films but also it filters down and i think it's about the talent there's a lot of london based talents and all that have to be over there or wherever it might be to to make a living yeah and the idea being that we could sustain them here uh could you please read out your show the rotary service rescheduled due to adverse weather conditions last weekend the letter kenny rotary club church service for the dedication of ribbons from their christmas tree of remembrance was cancelled well it'll now take place this is the important information it's now going to take place in conwall parish church letter kenny on sunday the 28th of january it's 7 p.m the sergi uh service is for clergy and parishioners from all churches please join us to remember our loved ones and everyone's welcome to stay for some refreshments after the service uh also i've been asked to mention that uh common class gale ardra presents a fish out of water it's a three act comedy by jimmy kirrie it's in the gea clubhouse ardra it's on friday the 26th that's tonight uh saturday the 27th sunday the 28th january 2024 tonight the 8 p.m doors open at 7 30 p.m tickets just 12 euro there's a raffle on uh the night uh and as i say i've said to you this before and i hope it doesn't sound patronizing uh michael but these uh some of these productions all of them i've seen are are brilliant all the amount of effort and oh yeah i mean i'm not asking you to comment on that actual show no no but you're absolutely right no i mean the this is something i've said before and others have said it like the term amateur doesn't refer to the quality of the piece it refers to the fact that these people are giving up their time freely um the amount of talent we have in this part of the world is extraordinary i mean the amount i i completely agree really unfair to call dahi an uh an amateur uh critique but fundamentally that's true but it does you a disservice dahi i have no problem with the word uh amateur means love does yeah that's the root of the word it means love it's passion it's a passion piece isn't it you know so kieran kelly's script that we did dramatis that was part of the script so now i know that i know that but yeah i've seen so many uh shows that uh are not professional doing air quotes here for the radio um but yeah and that they're every bit is good um in many many many cases that is one of the things we identified in the theater early on patrician mcbride our director um who obviously you know comes from a great graph or drama herself that the talent was all here you know where we've been able to help people is on the production side of things yeah you know like nylart technology manager you know has done huge support with all the groups on lighting because he's a lighting specialist so bringing up the understanding and knowledge of that set design you know that's where we've been able to help um and help bring up the standard but in terms of acting and directing you know i think donnie gall's so well served and that's something people would say all right in the country but i do think particularly across the arts in terms of musicians musicians and even in in sport i mean you can extend it out and i don't want to sort of sound like we're blowing our own trumpet but yeah when you think of what we are in terms of population size where we are because we always talk about access and opportunities and stuff yeah but we've got leading people right across the world of sport um musically i mean the the musical talent that there's so many artists and donnie gall that the only thing that's missing is a bit of luck yeah because everything else is there i mean there's amazing singer songwriters that are as good as they just didn't get the yeah whatever it takes to get that yeah in terms of acting and in terms of the viral these days yeah the viral idea it's hard to put it put it into place yeah and that can work and something like that can work for you and then even that sometimes is is not i'm thinking that ellie sherlock is huge she was signed up to she was signed up to and she's still doing really well but she was signed up to ed sheeran's record label and they even did some cross promotion with it and she's doing well uh but even for her it didn't kick her over that line she's still bossking and doubling and doing her doing it that way well you see i've been the example i always give us tanya mccole who's an amazing singer yeah and tanya you could see in the beehive in our draw you could see her on monday nights with uh the lead rate 10 oh yeah you know oh no here obviously that's sorry there's only one thing happens on a monday night sorry in mccole in least three years it was 10 tanya you know yeah and then john prine herdram went well you're amazing come on tour with me and he recognized you know but like if i go to and i have to go to uh on holliday tingland and you're going to pull them as a guy in the corner you're like that's a bit duff isn't it it tends to be the response you go to dunny goal you can see tanya you can see dekla mclaffordy you can see tommy calhoun rory freel you know without willow caron calhoun and cymer mccaffordy like you can see incredible artists in a pulp yeah yeah they are all innovating writing in the next yeah i know exactly the point that you're making in terms of the the guy in the corner and it's not yeah it's not to not to do it's not to put them down yeah but it's just as a bar to elevate oh yeah yeah it's incredible but i see it in soccer too i mean if you look at like some of fin harps fan but fin harps dairy city of loads of dunny goal lads you know lock all have loads loads of the northern teams institute have loads of dunny goal lads and you're like is dairy city not a big population center why is everyone coming from dunny goal populating all the northwest clubs i think i think what we do have in this county as well and this is going off in a tangent a little bit but in terms of from a school level in terms of acting we've got amazing teachers that work with the students in music the musical teachers and a lot of them a lot of the the the brilliant musical artists we have are actually also teaching as well yeah in terms of of athletics you know we have our you know the patsy patsy mcgaughan goal and we aim and harvey down the south and there's others yeah right across it there are fantastic people i think developing i think developing that talent yeah i think i'm a very young age yeah i think we punch above a weight and a lot of it is like we're talking about the amateur professional whatever it's the grass and it is the love for people people are doing it because it's their passion and then once in a while we see the amybeth mcnulty in acting go straight through yeah we're seeing where and bradley do it now and everybody's so proud everybody feels that ownership of these people it's lovely but there was a there was a however it happened and i'm so happy with the more marine bradley thing yeah is a call was made or something was seen or whatever and that initial call for the jules holland gig was on i'm not saying everything that is following would not have happened without that but that's i think a perfect example of just that that thing that thing that happens yeah that i think that's the zeitgeist thing i think it is right place right time we're coming out of the pandemic and everybody's looking for a bit of authenticity everybody's looking and there's marine she just it's an acoustic guitar she has the voice her playing skills are incredible and everybody's like instead of something manufactured instead of something presenters we're so you know we see so much of that now and here was just something incredibly natural as well as i know it is actually kind of it's kind of interesting that the music she plays has been embraced because yeah it's really quite you know different i mean it's it's it's of its time yes and it's coming back in but it's the audience is obviously well it's a hundred years i mean that's not the audience is obviously hungry for it or they're looking for their own great open to open to i don't know what it is yeah it's like we're saturated with the other stuff so much but again if you're living in well i think if you're living here in a place um you know country's always been huge here you know and that's it's all about the human experience and the blues is about the human experience then the you know the thing of everything old is new again it's that things are cyclical things come back and to a particular audience it might be oh this is so fresh to me because they don't have the context of it so yeah that can explain a lot of things but again authenticity i think is a real thing there she's really doing it it's not a you know pastiche or whatever she's just doing the real thing um but i do think that human experience the blues country will always have that i'm very interested see you know if she was a rich kid you know um you look at um what was the film recently um the salt burn you know the rich people if she was coming from very rich background i don't think people would have taken her in that way yeah and i also i think i think the greatest successes we see now is when it is organic to some extent now yeah i say organic obviously you need the right phone call but that that it's something to be discovered something wow look what i and then people get ownership and that helps and all that kind of stuff as well interesting just like you're talking about country being big and the country scene i'm really fascinated to see where that goes next or what comes behind that do you know like we had you know the show bands and then country comes behind that and i'm really interested to see for the musical for the masses what actually is going to come behind country i'm not saying it's a sunset genre right but if you look at where the big guys can gig here and the numbers they can gig too you know i'm really fascinated to see what comes behind that it's already happening it's folk it's it's you know it's vocal folk we see it with honor for example um obviously the high kings were out there before them it is folk you're asking you take someone like derrick ryan he put two folk songs um on his last album like and he's you know he's clued in derrick ryan he knows where it is i know it's not folk but you should throw them into the next generation yeah it is that kind of experience and we saw that in england i remember 10 15 years ago seeing you know the unthanks and people like that from england and saying where's the irish version of this why are we not revisiting our folk experience and again it's about authenticity lankham obviously are massive um and i mean we've tried week on you'll have scullion who are obviously you know on sunday night in the rcc um and we're you know who were pioneers of that and there's a resurgence of interest in scullion there's a resurgence of interest in planxity and also we have you know so that's where i think the numbers are going and i think the success often comes to uh michael when it's multi-generational do you know what i mean oh yeah if you go to an honor concert you will see teens or whatever if you go to whistling donkeys they've gotten a bit now i'm not grouping whistling donkeys in an or yeah but we need a we need a group of acts in different genres that are coming through to fill the pubs and clubs they're probably the middle point towards the mary waller person between those two probably who we again we saw on jules and they're a good time band taking that pokes kind of mantle i guess in some ways you know but i mean if you think of someone like the doppliners they could do the ballads but they could do the thing the mary waller person i'd mentioned to obviously for the c-session uh the seager sessions yes yes great yeah great but again you know filling places around is that that's is this where we're going i'm not saying there weren't any way to say these stuff but i think the roots folk area we are inevitably going to go through some sort of transition oh yeah of course and people will in brit yeah it's exactly what you're saying the idea that yes it there'll always be an audience for for all different genres but then some things get embraced by a much larger audience this is like this thing happens where people embrace it and i suppose yeah that from what you're saying the time is ripe and the the tide is turning yeah i mean i i don't know and maybe somebody else they're telling me but how many people of honour played two in the last year i mean it's serious numbers and they went straight up again the viral moment but again it was just voices but also you there there is there's levels yeah yeah you know when they're at a level um but then again listen i think there's great things i think there's great things happening i think there is a bit of a shift i'm not saying anything's dying your death don't get me wrong but i think there's a sometimes you wonder well what's next that which was the basis of my question and i think we're starting to see yeah what's next and i think that's a thing if something goes in oh yeah i know it's not i know it's in letter kenny this week aren't they um they're massive in sonny mcswine's i think this week in letter kenny um but if something comes into fashion it has to drop a bit you know skinny jeans you know jeans are going back out again things have to go i've

uh in a moderate to fresh and gusty west to south west wind strong at times near western coasts okay we are joined in studio now by all allow you to introduce yourselves okay so we'll go from left to right what's your name please my name is alice alice o'connor i'm syve syve lovely to have you in i'm sheina sheina great to be great to have you in here as well sheina mcquee is it mcayne mcayne i was told i was told that was huge in irish when i was at national school so i don't know i was told a lot of lies algebra was going to be useful i was told that too and katie calls with us as well katie um use our part of danu young women's choir but it's a four tet quartet quartet yeah quartet uh what name do you go under uh so we are kiltory canola so which means the in irish the singers of the goddess canola who's the goddess of uh ancient music so brilliant yeah okay listen we appreciate you's coming out of school but it's just to really celebrate we're gonna hear from you's performing live as well but um you would abort your barbershop quartet yes that correct so talk to me what distinguishes you from a non-barbershop quartet um so basically barbershop is something that originated in america and is kind of not really a thing in ireland as much but we're hoping to bring it about as much as we can basically it's four-part harmony which consists of tenor which is alice lead which is syve sheina which is bass and i'm the baritone so basically it's just really cool four-part harmony singing together with loads of chords and now my recollection of that would have been like four fellas you know red and white shirts and hats on yeah so user really uh mixing it up a little bit right so you um it was kind of a mix mishmash of different people i think that came up in christmas but ultimately uh you four went to new york to take part in a competition we did so uh the barbershop harmony society held their midwinter convention there in january and so we were lucky enough thankfully uh thanks to douglas caron shout out to you we love you he brought us over to america that was this uh goal from the start whenever the choir started and so we were lucky enough that we got to compete in the quartet competition and what kind of other quartets were there were all different backgrounds different ages uh well we were in the junior quartet competition so it was under 18 um but it was people from all over the world essentially was that intimidating or like does our does our stuff carry here and are we good and no for are we doing it right i know you've full confidence in your training and stuff but you would start a bit of not self-doubt especially because like they would have loads of things going around like they'd have four or five conventions a year and stuff and this was kind of our first big one we went to iabs and that's kind of how we qualified but this would have been our first kind of big one so we kind of we made loads of friends yeah that like it wasn't kind of a standoff it's kind of a rivalry or anything we made so many friends but it's kind of different how much like more opportunities for barbershop there is over there but in those trips you grow as a person you know you come back and something's changed or your prescription or your your aspects have been been brought what did you wear so we have these green dresses because we had to wrap the irish in us whenever we were going to america so the americas went crazy the irish girls are wearing green so you've got all the green dresses um but i suppose it was quite it would have been quite the view isn't it you know four girls over from northwest arid in the green yeah doing this type of music it's impactful like you can't be done even though we were walking out and and we were just being introduced so every kind of quartile gets introduced or whatever and they didn't even get to say our name because they were like and all the way from ireland it stood up it was crazy there was a a study or an article out this week that says um women's irish names the most difficult in the world to pronounce how did you get on how did you get on with that yeah that was fun because we all had like lanyards with their names on them and my name is side brother and i was going to give us some of the attempts um sieve sieve i think they've got did all right with sieve go on serah serah sada sada these are all nice names i want to know you're going to throw in there i mean allison katie you're all right anyway this is fine over here fine right so what we'll do is if you don't mind uh we'll we'll hear you perform yeah really do appreciate it i want to chat a wee bit afterwards just about your experience of getting around to see stuff and all that if that's okay so um this is kail tory canola and you're going to sing show me where the good times are all right can we have a a note for katie can't prepare this time kick the dust up oh who was making what noise but it's a good sign that's a good sign like it really because it's omnidirectional hadn't a clue really but it works technically that's very difficult yes because you're you're all i mean you know it but there's no there's no beat or what have you you have to all be in sync at so many different points over the course of about three or four minutes like we had to practice so much that we like when we first got the song we were all singing coming in different times and like we were off key and you know that kind of thing but there's a collective pressure and an individual pressure not so much yeah for sure but i think because we practice so much and we're together so much that we all just kind of like blend it in together and yeah lock and ring barbershop terms and let me ask um are you feeling any sort of affinity with Maureen Bradley at the moment in that you know young people sort of maybe a genre that's not necessarily associated with your age you know yeah it's not really associated with many people in our land yeah we went to the iabs convention which is the irish association of barbershop singers they had their own convention in calarnate yeah a while ago and it's so much smaller than the other conventions that happen in america because it's just not as widespread in irland yet i just think it's really interesting it's coming over yeah i think it's really interesting that we sort of have in in our part of the world and we were talking about the talents earlier on just you know it uses a collective and and likes Maureen sort of pushing barriers albeit from a different era you know it's not reinventing it or whatever but still listen fantastic stuff thanks so very much indeed what now uh is there a next day to next target or we have so many things coming up so we are none of it's confirmed yet but we're talking about loads of things so there's babs in may which is the british association of barbershop singers that's like the english version of iabs so that's another thing and we get to mic warm at that which basically means that we're not in the competition but we get to like kind of showcase before the competition starts yeah so that's a really cool opportunity we are it's a great honor to yeah we're really lucky that we got to say that because that's something that you have to kind of mic warm in are like the really have to be good so but in terms of the harmonies you know i mean this is transferable to different genres of music as well and what have you and we're seeing that's blowing i mean do you do you even think about that do you think this is something that beyond the sort of barbership quartet that you could take with this because you said it obviously you have to get on quite well because you spend so much time together oh yeah like that's one of the things like you can have a good quartet with people who like tolerate each other and say well but this is literally the production team at ireland radio we could tolerate each other but to actually be to like progress and to get better you have to know the people and love it more to it isn't there's a trust kind of going on with knowing each other so well and it makes all the difference very lucky enough we have that yeah exactly and the experience is you've had new york get a chance to go around new york love it i haven't had that opportunity yet that's something i want to do um but is there are such things a five tet i don't know how we'd no i couldn't even dream of doing all the pitch pipe i exactly i can watch that thing you blow i could do oh is that what it is yeah right okay listen the four you thank you so very much it's great for your schools and users of collective and your families i'm sure are dead proud thank you so much it's been lovely having you in and we look forward to hearing from you again okay that's where we have to leave it thanks to michael thanks to dahi we're gone we're out we're back monday morning at nine have a wonderful day take care of yourself john bresnan's next the night on new show is


You see how I look right? You see how I look so I technically hold on y'all I Technically have been working off and on for about two hours. Well, Chris Christine Christine my co-worker and friend she had a meeting this morning and she said oh my god You won't believe the camera came on my camera came on me.  Well, I have my when I call my mommy uniforms. They're these long sexy T-shirt style dresses You get from I get from Walmart for less than seven, you know five six bucks They are so comfortable great birth control to girl because he is not having it So yeah, I wear this and my hair doesn't always look like this But sometimes I have a bonnet on And once I get ready for they like I'm back today right now because it's almost seven o'clock Officially get ready for the day brush my teeth take a shower. I put back on a clean clean one So she said she said the camera came on and she was screaming for her husband to get her a piece of paper to block the camera I said girl. I first of all left my ass off I said girl before I enter a meeting which most of us who work from home we do webinars Okay, so before I enter a meeting I put my thumb over the camera to make sure it's not coming on Okay, cuz you never know girl unique technical difficulties Oh, I have some good news to share with you guys and my last vlog I talked about how I was nominated for a promotion. I received a thank-you letter last Friday I'm gonna try hard not to cry because I was claiming this I'm gonna give you a testimony in a minute I officially received my promotion and it was a thank-you letter the reason why I found out it was a thank-you email Excuse me from the big balls. He sent it Friday. Basically. Thank you me for everything. I've been doing for the organization It was it was very heartfelt When I was told I was being nominated for a promotion that Monday I say my morning prayers It ain't my morning prayers. I remember it's been a couple weeks now, but in my morning prayers I said, you know, um, I'm praying for a promotion and that's when I heard the Holy Spirit say Thank thank me for the promotion. Just go ahead and give thanks for the promotion. So I change it I said, okay. Thank you for the promotion literally Five days, excuse me four days later. I get told I'm your product God is so good Everything is on his timing for that to happen that fast I was my whole thing this year was working towards a promotion I was hoping to have it by the end of the year the praise God. I've already got it The Money thing won't probably happen until the next cycle because they don't just do it, you know for the next pay period They wait for everyone to adjust payroll is totally different. So yeah, I'm gonna get ready to I Washed my face. My face is so dry lately. So you know what I'm using just a little bit sweet almond oil I'm gonna use just a little bit Just as a moisturizer and I know who is it that uses sweet almond oil. Is it you Marlene Marlene? over in Belgium She told me that she uses there ever since you told me that girl I've started using sweet almond oil on my body now I've always used first of all, I haven't used lotion on my body Sometimes they use hand lotion. I'm not gonna front But I haven't used a body lotion in years. It's been almost 15 years. I use oils But miss Marlene Jay told me y'all know who she is She told me a while back that she uses I believe you say you use sweet almond oil. So anyway JB has a dentist appointment this morning. Let me close the door y'all cuz JB has a dentist appointment this morning. Yeah, excuse me. I'm sure if y'all don't know I am short I'm only five three. That's why I was on my tippy toes. I'm only five three girl I'm Fairly even that JB has a dentist appointment this morning. I'll kind of take y'all with me poor thing. I Have been spreading out these dental appointments and those you don't know my baby has a number of cavities We try to slow this process down by having what's called SDF applied to his teeth Which is a sodium diamide. It's basically a preventative pace that helps to slow down the decay of teeth JB has a very soft enamel. So as young as God, I started noticing it around three years old His teeth started flaking and then he started getting hold and then what happened is when I went to a dentist about that By the time we went to another dentist when he was four they turned into cavity So today's gonna be a crock-pock time of the day type of day because I have too much to do today Plus tomorrow my husband's off. I'm gonna be cooking Crock-Pot I've layered at the bottom here. We have purple onion just a little bit jalapeno to Garlic cloves we have baby potatoes baby Carrots some season this is all about layering when you do this type of stuff y'all So I have all my season is here garlic part of onion part of salt pepper paprika red pepper flakes Salt olive oil we're gonna put turmeric on the chicken now I'm gonna be using just a little bit of this Campbell's oven classic roasted chicken.  It's gonna produce its own juices, okay? I'm gonna put this on low cuz it's early. It's now once this is done I'm gonna finish it off in the oven. I find that when you do meats and crock-pock at least for me Which I rarely do y'all I probably cook in this once every other month I just don't like the texture of the chicken once it's done unless I'm doing a soup I'll do soups with like shredded chicken. Anyway, I Put my food under the broiler for about five minutes for it to get crispy sometimes longer. So that's I'm going to be seasoning my cast iron. I have a lot cast iron. I have this Dutch oven I have this griddle. I have this cast iron this one this one Okay, JV and I think I have a small one down here. So here we go ignore him So one two three four five six Every now and then if something happens you can use soap and water But you do not want to do it consistently because it messes up the safety of the pan I use a stainless steel scrubber to get the rest off. See how that has a little bit of rust and hot water and Then we're gonna put Shortening row it down each panel shortening Place it in the oven at the highest it can go do not I've seen videos will put it on self-cleaning.  Don't put it on self-cleaning I have it on 500 Scrub everything down put the grease in shortening Excuse me placing in the oven for a few hours and that's how I clean and season my cast iron skillets Now I've seen some people that flip the cast iron skillet under excuse me over Because that I help it but we're just gonna do this for now because I have so many of them I would have to do this in two batches if I were gonna flip them over, okay? This is gonna go in for a few hours.  So what are y'all reading?

So it's extremely dry Excuses, I know you guys can't see me that well. It's extremely dry. You know, Miss Earlette was right She told me way back in December that I need to be more consistent with my products because What I happen is that I'll use something that's really good and then use something that's bad And it sets my sets me back with my hair regimen. So What happened was I used the blue magic grease to do a twist out. Hold on y'all. Is that better? I don't know. I used the blue magic grease to do a twist out and it was a fail My hair was the moisture was still but my hair was greasy and I felt like the grease Coated my strands and not in a good way so I went ahead and proceeded to wash my hair with sulfates and then I applied the Maui Volcanic ash pitiful mask to my hair and it felt like when I was rinsing it out and like I said I was looking down at my hands and I could see hair So a lot more in this shaded hair was coming to my hair was kind of coming out coming out to excuse me a little bit and Now as my hair has completely dried it really it dried out my hair basically and I know I saw One two other comments from other people that said that the product line in general more street Maui moisture dries out there.

I Wasn't so much pain and I took one of my pills one of my Gabapentin pills, I just need to take one. I'll be okay.  I wanted to make a follow-up appointment with him Which is what I had today and he's such a sweet guy. He's very very gentle He's almost like a grandpa like you know what I mean? Anyway, he basically was like when did you have this done? I'm like, it's been a couple of weeks and the girl next to him She said it was spending since February and he's like well Where it's the pain and I showed him where it was at all the way down he's like well, I you know, it takes a while to heal and Sometimes when you have the procedure done, it can hit the nerve next to it and that's just It'll just take a while. It isn't there's nothing wrong and I guess the Office manager could see my face a little bit sad because I thought it would be you know, you needed immediate Not immediate, but you know it shouldn't takes a month I thought but when he left she said I've had this done Several I've had several treatments with him. Excuse me and she said it does take a while She said a couple of months after she had it done. She was suddenly feel pain but for me to keep more in my compression stockings and My legs are so big y'all that I have to reorder them, you know, every other month So like every four or five months I have to reorder a new pair because they get loose Real quick and I have to go get I have to leave and pick up JP girl girl girl Jerry is a Let me tell you what happened today Can you see me can you even see me?

So yesterday out of the blue He texts me. This is Jerry the one that told my husband never to text me again So Jerry takes me and say that I'm not even asking when you're available Telling us that's another thing that we don't like that these folks have been doing out of the blue 4 p.m. The drywall guy would be there between 8 and 9 Okay, Jerry, you know, can you ask me if I'm available the drywall guy comes at 7 30 No problem with me miss Jackson has been up for a couple hours, but my husband is still sleep So I tell him by the way The drywall is here guys here. I have to leave so I leave drop JV off. I come back and it's been busy This is all what happened this morning.  I've been busy with meetings and just getting substituted with my just at work I'm busy y'all right Chow Wow when I was in the living room, no in the den doing something Jerry walks through the damn door. No knocking no sending me a text message to say I'm on my way to see how things are going. He walks through his outdoor like he coming in To come to come over for them not even that like this is his damn house He wave didn't even speak wave and just walked on in so I went in my husband was sleeping in the guest bedroom I went in and I said Jerry is here. I Don't mean to be dramatic. I was like Jerry Jerry is here. He just showed up and walked through the house My husband put those covers over his head.  He was like I specifically asked the manager that we did not want My husband say he has to you just can't say Jerry can't be on a on the Project he is the project manager He manages the subcontractor. So we don't want Jerry. We don't want Travis We don't want anyone. I've been trying to tell my husband is y'all for damn near two weeks So we've been going back and forth Since earlier this week because the guys just showed up What's today Thursday and then we're supposed to been here a Monday girl So we've been going back and forth all week on whether or not we should fire them and my husband's so I don't know. I wouldn't say he's passive aggressive. He's There's no great area with him. He's either really Soft or aggressive.   Yeah, I need for you to do this. You have to be a good morning Regina How are you doing? How was your weekend?  You know, I mean put that little so whenever I've been calling Travis the owner I'm like, hey Travis, how are you doing? And the whole thing about getting another contractor on is that it may take even longer You know what I mean? Because these people they're already the ball is already rolling um So I fired them I fired them my husband's like can you just call him? I'm like, you know what?  We thank you for whatever you done now, but due to the lack of communication and we've had a number of issues that have come up on this project it has Extended longer than we had anticipated. We would no longer be needing your services Girl that was like a two-second pause and Travis was like Okay, then thank you for your business and I'm gonna send you an invoice for whatever supplies you guys are used and my That's what my husband's shining. That's fine. I Need to hurry up here. I told myself to have peace of mind is priceless because that guy was look when he came in Jerry came in this morning. It was negative energy y'all. It was a weird type of negative energy and What do you got there? Let me see let me see what it is What do you think that is I Really never bought him one of these y'all. I made him one when he was one years old, but It's calling Easter basket, okay, that's what that is. Okay. He doesn't even know what it is. Oh My god, let me sit this camera down so I can show y'all what I got you like it Yeah, I was gonna make you but I saw that at Albertson seven dollars Yeah, that's very affordable. All right. That's in my budget, right? eBay I don't know my fish.  This is not gonna fit me y'all. This is not gonna fit That's okay, baby. Yeah, I'm gonna go wash it.  All right you guys I think we're about to end this vlog cuz we're at the 30 minute mark But it looks like we would definitely have our Try to have this have a new person by the end of the week, which is good We are already interviewed someone yesterday or he came by and y'all he already told us that some of the stuff They were doing was wrong. I am so glad we listened to our good instinct in camps of these people So he sent us an invoice over the crappy part Not crappy. I should watch my language. The frustrating important is that He and his invoice he gave us an itemized invoice and he's gonna charge us for the rework, which is fine So anyway, we should definitely have someone a new What I'm trying to say Contractor by the end of the week and it seems like most of the people were going with they work on one or two jobs And that's it. We're asking other people would do a multiple jobs at the same time one or two jobs That's it. So anyway, I'm excited about that girl.  You don't know you have no sense of professionalism. So anyway, y'all Y'all these little boys, I feel kind of bad, but not really these little boys in the neighborhood We ran into these cute little boys last month and They come over here every I would say like every four or five days Wait wanting to know JB can come out and play with him Play with them. I'm sorry. The little boys look like one of them told me he's turning eight soon in the other one It's nine and I remind him JB just turned six And so I see the little boys. I asked my where y'all live that One of them lived two blocks away The other one lives around the corner and they're riding around in the neighborhood on their bicycles y'all coming over protective But I would not be allowing my child Riding around on his bicycles under the age of 10 and these little boys are scrawny and little One of them just a few inches tall within JB the seven-year-old. There's no way where we live at We live in a nice neighborhood, but it's always you know, the bad things happening in the nice neighborhood You always see we never thought that we happen in this neighborhood type of stuff going on So you put it like this I would rather be safe than sorry. This is not the 80s. Hell This is not the 90s. We used to be able to ride Where I was growing up we used to be able to ride our bikes and be out seven or eight years old and No one would mess with us because everyone will look after each other. My neighbors are not even like that My neighbors from Texas are they're cool, but I don't even talk to my other neighbors, you know under me I talked to miss Lori. That's I guess my point is that JB.  Mm-hmm. I know I don't know y'all. Let me know what y'all think This is a nice neighborhood, but another thing is also we live five minutes away from the interstate So it will be real easy for someone to snatch up a kid and get on the interstate.  All right, you guys that is it for this vlog Tomorrow, I'm gonna be meeting with Nick again and mission long though We're gonna go out to eat and the weather has been a little funky here, but we'll see y'all I've been in a weird mood lately. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is I think it's because of what's going on with the house. I know that's what it is. So All right, you guys take care
