Seeing that and driving that at times like made me want one for myself.  So we're waiting for the car. He's supposed to be pulling in somewhere over here.

Sweet. It's been about 20 minutes. I'm currently at the spot that I want my girlfriend to come and see the car.  This is like insane. This is freaking life changing. I was driving this car literally tearing up the fact that this is real. Oh my gosh. The color is everything. Everything honestly is perfect about this car. Look at how clean the inside is. I know it's hard to see, but let me just say Mariah is going to cry when she sees this. Oh my God. I'm getting so excited. I'm going to call her right now. I'm going to go inside the car.  All right.

I feel like I'm driving the damn Lambo right now. It sounds so, so good. I've never been this excited in my life. One more time, one more time. We're going to wait for Mariah to get here. Thank you guys so much for watching once again. This is reaction time guys. Wish me luck.  I'm getting nervous. I'm getting nervous. I'm going to have to dip out of the car really quick when I see her. So she doesn't, you know, hopefully see me in this car. So I'm sitting on the curb right here. The car is over there. Mariah is pulling up. I see her car right here. She's going to be pulling in. Look at her. That's her right there. Take a park right here. I don't know if she knows yet. Hi, babe.  Come out.  How are you? Good. So I don't know how to explain this to you. I wanted to show you something. Okay. Take a walk with me. All right. Okay. Are you good? Yeah.

You know, it's over there. All right. I'll show you. Ready? Come here. I love you, babe. Let me just tell you that. What? I'm going to cry. You're going to cry? What? What? Tell me. So I got us something. Okay. What? You and me. As a team. We've been doing this for a while. Give me some knocks. Give me some knocks for a good luck so you can kiss. Wait, let me. You're scaring me. Can you just hold on to this really quick? No way. Right there? That's our car. No way. No, you're just joking. Bill, let's play. Look it. That's the key. I know. Why are you pranking me? I'm not pranking you. Why are you pranking me? I have proof. I bought it out of Texas. It had just arrived. I just picked it up. No, you didn't. It's already gone. I don't believe you. Turn it on. It's our car. We own this. Oh my God. I am not even messing with you. I know we prank each other a lot. Baby, no way. You did not do that. I did. I'm pranking you. No way. All right, hold on. This is the buyer's guide. Ready? Says my name. All right, it does need a good watch. But this thing, Mariah. Yes. Are you actually going to go? Baby, this is literally like everything about this car. Hop in it. Like do whatever you want. This is art. Art is for life. Yeah. I can't believe you got this. Do you want to hop in? Here.  Press and hold the top button. Wait, hey, that's not the best part. What? Revit. Let's go. Room. Do it a little more. A little more. Like just thank me though. Thank our freaking Marvel Squad. I know. You guys that all said it in our last video, I asked you, what do you think it was? Everyone that said it was a car? This is a car. Wait, tell them a little insight. What do you like about Corvette? What is a Corvette? You're my dream car. It's her literally dream car. I told them that. Like I freaking adore Corvette. And the fact that we were able to do it for you guys. Yes, it's crazy. The exhaust is bumping. I have to drive it around for a minute. This is crazy. You can go look around it. Go look at that. Look, see the rims? They're so freaking nice. It's because you got tint on it. Yes, tint. This car is perfect. Oh, look at it. The little victory dance. It looks like it's real. I know. I know. Thank you. I know I got the car for us, but we couldn't have done it without you. I say this like a lot in this video, but oh my gosh. Without any of you guys, we would not have this car right here. Exactly. And I just find it crazy that we're able to live our dreams with you guys. And next up, a house. Hey, that's next. A house. Corvette in the driveway. We already got it. All right, ready? I'm going to rev it for you. Get ready. Woo. Don't get a rev it. That was pretty good. Oh my gosh. This sounds like a lambo. Is that crazy?  My baby. I know. Best part? We got AC. Yay. Feel this. In my dream car, I'm chilling in here with my baby. I was never into Corvette's until I started driving my dad's. And then I was like, oh my gosh. I freaking love this car. Yeah. My baby's turn. Look at her. She's getting all hyped up. Are you ready? Oh yeah. We got to wear seatbelts in this one. Better not crash this thing. Oh my gosh, Ryan. How are you loving it? Loving it. I might step on it. Yeah? Yeah. I know. I told you.  Damn, those shoes are fire. I am so excited. Guys. I'm going to go take pictures. My thoughts will look so cute. You already look so cute. What do you mean? I can't forget about dry bad. If you literally look better and better every time I see you. Aw, I love you. It was worth it. She took a while to get ready. She's going to be driving to the first destination that we're going to for this day night. And it's going to be lit. All right, drivers. Start your engines. Hey, I see you. We're in a spot.  This is such a sentimental spot. And we're pulling up in the vet. We filmed so many TikToks. There are so many pictures. This is where we're kicking off the day night. And we're going to be taking pictures of the car. Oh, that's going to be crazy as well. It's kind of overcast. That's what we're going to do. That was good. Dang, baby. Looking good. Oh my God. It's going to be fun on Barbie. Look at you. Just complete the whole image right here. That's just like a canvas. Perfect painting. So we just made it to the car wash. Our car is a little dirty. Oh, yeah. You know, we got to get that fresh wash in the first day you get it. But what is so cute about this? I don't know if you guys watched our ever first ever YouTube video. We went through this exact car wash. I think it's crazy seeing where we were then and where we are now. I don't know if it does. My window leaks right here. So that's not good. There's like a mini hole. That can be a big family. Before we even had one subscriber. Yes, and this is what happened. We're driving in a freaking corvette. Living the dream. We're traveling. We're meeting so many of you guys. This is the greatest blessing. And I just thought I'd come on here and say like it's hitting me more and more every day than this is our life. I just find it crazy. And I think it's so cute that we're at the car wash that we were just at. It's just mind blowing and awesome. I just love you guys. Our baby's getting in our first car wash. Like my other car, the window wouldn't even roll down. And it would leak. I don't even like next time we're not going through a car wash. We're gonna hand wash this baby. The anxiety levels that I'm having right now. Just being in the car wash. I don't like this. This is crazy though. It's our first car wash. I know.  First of all, it's a red car. So it won't show up in a lot of scratches. We're going to YouTube copyright. We can't play some bumpin' music right now. But we can bump ourselves. But we can bump just nothing. We can bump ourselves. Mariah, you're so cool. No, you're so hot.  Yeah.  This is why you're not a rapper. It's gonna be clapping for you.  No, everyone's gonna be laughing at you. Oh, you're speaking so funny. But you don't even know what to do.  Hey, at least you have yourself. And I got my crew. Oh. Team build. Hashtag. Oh, okay. That's the end of that. Yeah. Our car is getting washed down. I was scared. Because low key, the tires are so wide.  Our baby's so clean. I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. I'm hungry. Let's go get some food. Let's go get some food. All right, so we just made it. Mariah, you can tell them where we are. Where are we? We're at Woo's. Woo's? We're not getting sushi. Sushi, yeah. I'm so hungry. I can't even think. So I decided to take her out. We are currently getting sushi and bomb hair. So I cannot wait. I literally have only eaten avocado and toast today. And that was in the morning.   Yeah, only a banana. No way. How are you not like throwing up? I don't know. So good. Are you ready? How much are you gonna eat? Think you're gonna eat. Let's take a guess before Mama's come out. How much do you think she's gonna eat? I got three. Three quarters are the full thing. Three? I don't know. I had a lot of that. Wait, one, two, three. Only those three? You're lying. We'll see. We're all set. We're about to start boxing this up. And I just wanted to catch this before we left. I think Mariah's trying to throw us off a little bit. She ate the middle. Three. I don't know. I'm gonna say, I didn't know how many you ate because you ate the amount of middle. We had a crab ragoon as you guys saw.  Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had like crab ragoon is like stuffed like fried. I can throw up right now. I'm just thinking about eating. No, it's so good. All right, Mama's come out. We are back. It's been a minute. It's been a minute. We've been kind of just enjoying our time together and kind of just driving the car around. Enjoying it. I want to tell you guys, we went to fill the gas tank up. It took me 10 minutes to figure out where the button was to open up the gas door. And just five minutes ago, Bill almost locked us out of our car. It is the first day getting it. I kind of, I kind of like put the key in the car and the doors were in opening because it wasn't detecting the key, but the doors finally detected the key and it unlocked the car automatically. Thank god. Thank freaking god for keyless entry. Otherwise, we would be stuck out here on the parking lot. And wait, if you're wondering where we are, we're back at the spot that we did earlier to. We didn't take a thumbnail. We really, really liked the spot and we took the thumbnail here. We've been just chilling in the car. Oh wait, did we show them the car after the car wash? I don't think we did. Guys, we got to show you the car right now really quick before we get out of here. Look at how sexy this looks. Oh my god. It's crystal clear. Oh my god. It looks 10 times better with a car wash. But that's crazy. This car is literally crystal. I'm so thankful for it. I'm just thankful for you guys. Thank you for making this possible. Also, shots of the fan that we met today. Oh yeah. We read his dad's body shots. They saw us driving. She was driving on the road. Yeah, and she pulled over. Yeah, which is so awesome. I really hope she sees this video because she was so nice. Her name was Grace. Shots of Grace out there. That's going to be this video notification shot. Shots of Grace. Thank you for stopping by. If you ever see us in public guys, don't be afraid to come up to us. Even if we're eating. I know sometimes you don't want to like push people's buttons, but we love saying hi to you guys. We love it. Even if it's for a couple seconds, we literally love showing love and giving back to all of you that give to us all the time. Yes. We just want to say how thankful we are for you guys and how much we love you. Without you guys, we would not be in this car. We would not have this car. It's insane. Right. It's literally insane. Don't sugarcoat it. It's freaking and crazy. I was getting emotional. I wasn't going to tell you, but I was getting emotional just thinking about how far we can come. I saw you. She was getting quiet when we were driving. We literally just like look at each other and smile.  Right behind buying a house. That'll be the next biggest thing. And it's coming. Oh my gosh.

No, the meat is already chicken barbecue, abit kebabs, chives, and pork ribs for lunch. Chirapsco? Yes, Chirapsco. You can take as you like. Bring a lot of that Chirapsco. What's your name, sir?

The opera in New York about that guy, the handicapped guy in the wheelchair that was murdered by Palestinians. Supposedly it was, oh, wow, beautiful. Supposedly the, because the play, you know, makes it look like the Palestinians were heroes, but in reality, all the Jews are saying. You mean on the, on the cruise ship? Yeah, cruise ship. They made a, the Jews made a stink and tried to protest. Wait, you're talking about, you're talking about, this happened many years ago. 85.

And here we have beautiful pork. Port O'Call. Hey, this is much better. You're going to love this one. Beautiful flower arrangement. All right. Now, James, this is beautiful Buffet. They have all sorts of sushi. They got everything. Same price as the other one. Okay. And the other one, they wanted me to pay 15-something bucks for little chicken pies, a little bit of sausage, and some sirloin. Were they nuts? If I wanted that, I would go outside and get some squirrels. At least some squirrels. Are they nuts? I'm coming here. Look, look what I'm eating here. Oh, the squirrels are eating nuts right now. I'll go get three or four squirrels. Same thing here. Look, you know what I'm saying? That's his first plate. I'm going to go up and get mine. Oh, that's beautiful, man. Wait until you see the sushi they have. Look at that. It's unbelievable. I don't love it. How are you doing, Doug? All right, good. High quality. Okay. Port O'Call. I'm going to get up now. Now, this is going to be a good buffet. Yes. James, same price. Really? What's better? Oh, this place by a... Blows it away. Oh, definitely blows away that... Blows it away. That jabroni...  That jabroni rotizia we were at. Hold on, hold on. Start again. This sushi? Four-star sushi. Four-star sushi. Look at that. Wow, look at that. Look at that hunk. Understand? Artistic. I'm going to go get my plate and try to get some of the... Churrosco... I mean the beef, hopefully rare at the carving station. All right. Oh, look at that. That sushi bar. Excellent. Guess this is... It's like tuna. Is that what you mean? There we got some... You know I like mackerel. Mackerel sashimi. And I guess this might be... I don't know. White tuna and salmon. Salmon. Oh, wow. Look at this fish roe. Bright red fish eggs. All the rolls for people that can't eat if they want raw food. Wasabi. I guess this is the sauce. I'm going to come back. Pickled ginger. Yeah, I can't... I can't carry the meat. I can't carry the meat. Let me tell you something. Did you go get the meat? He brought it to me. Hey, there's... Now, there's buffet. I'm going to be hitting this all the time. Nothing beats us. So this is... This so far, this is number one. Number one. For quality and value for the money. Bank for the buck. Number one. There's nothing even comes close. So far in Northern New Jersey. Not even the seven dollars. Not even the... Not even the... Because look at the... I mean... Look at that. Not even the flaming grill. This is for all your vegans. This is for all your vegans out there. See this? This is equivalent to about a little bird. So today I'm going to get about four little... Little bears. My four little bears today. All right. Now, look at this. I'm eating my Churrosco. Over here. Over here. Actually it's a little more than rare. Over here we got... Look at this small amount of sushi. Look at the tuna in there. Look at the size of that.  All you can eat. Tuna rolls. Look at that. Work of art. Work of art. Look at that. Beautiful. This explodes in your mouth. Okay. We're at the Porta Corp. Café in Hackensack, New Jersey. Outstanding value. Outstanding quality food. Let's see what they got here. White tuna. I'm not sure what this is. And this is... It's like calamari shrimp marinated. Calamari shrimp and scallops. Like calico scallops. Baby scallops. Yeah, calico scallops. Small ones. Oh and mussels too. There's mussels in here. Made of seafood mix. White wine. So it's a cabbage. Some kind of sausage. I'm not sure what that is. I'll try one. Jack Daniels. Chicken. It's fried calamari. It's a flounder filet. Grose beef. Nah, you know what? Here we got... Looks like dungeonous crab. Jonah crabs. Jonah crabs. Much work for me, honestly. Sweet weed salad. Looked like New Zealand green-lip mussels. Some grilled items. It's chicken teriyaki but I'm going to try a couple of barbecue ribs. I'm going to come back to the carving station. Some side dishes here. Spinach or gratin. Macaroni and cheese as the carving station.  Salad, bar, dessert. Yeah, I guess I'll take off. I have some red, yeah, the rare stuff. That should do it. Two of those. What are those? Is that shell steak? This is sirloin. Sirloin? Um, yeah, I'll take a half of that. Thank you. It's good. Oh boy. Looks good. Okay, round two. Oh wow. I got seafood salad. A couple ribs and some two slices of rare roast beef.  Right, now this is fatty salmon. This is the first time I've had this. Look at that.  Most likely very rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Color, I mean, just look at this. Omega-3 fatty acids.   How's it taste? Awesome. Look at this plate. Look at all the meat and the sushi. Look at the sushi roll. Salmon, tuna, avocado, cucumber. Look at all that meat there. Look at these. Look at that, look at that right there. Beautiful pieces of sushi. Very fatty salmon. Yes, I'm going to try that a little bit. But I just got some, probably, maybe one of my favorite meats of all time. One of my favorite. I got a piece of skirt steak. Love it. Very tender, outstanding piece of meat.  So I'll be sure to get more. Okay, I'm going to try to get some fatty salmon. Let's see. I guess that's it. Mmm, one more. That's good, right? Yeah, what's that yellow to? It's good quality. Yeah, I'm from the area. Me and my friend do an internet talk show. We're filming different, we go to different buffets and restaurants. Mainly I do political shows, but this is like a break. All right, thank you. Okay, all right. I guess I'll take one of these fish rows with the porticole. Porticole buffet restaurant in Hackensack, New Jersey. Porticole, some wasabi. Very hot, but I just want to make sure I have enough. Pickled ginger is all very good for you. Fermented medicinal appetizer, condiment. Okay, it's a beautiful place, really great value. Very fresh seafood sushi. I guess I had enough mackerel. Let's see what we got over here. Over here is fruit, dessert. Ah, that's about it. I had enough red meat. Now look at this raw. Look at I had it before. Take one of these, make bright red fish row. All right, move back. Next is dessert. So you think you're going to elevate your oxygen levels with that? Yeah, sure. Are you going to contribute to the molecular structure of what you are with that? What do you think? Yes, my mitochondria is going to be very saturated with something. I don't know about oxygen, but it will be saturated. Beautiful. Okay, we're here with Domingo at the Porticole buffet restaurant. Me and Mario over here. What's up? We were talking about the English language. It's very difficult to learn English because it's very confusing language. What's with all these silent letters? Like, I walk through the door, T-H-O-U-G-H. Why do you need a G-H? I mean, you don't pronounce it. Why do you need the K and front of the knife? Right, it's supposed to be... Is it canite? No, it's night. Night, you have day and night, but this is the Knights of the Round Table, K-N. Or what about the insect? Nat, it's ganat, right? G-N-A-T, you know? I always wonder, what do ganats eat anyway? They bug you, but they don't bite. Yeah, that's crazy, right? I think they live off the sweat. They eat sweat? They get all the nutrients out of that. Oh yeah? Yeah, they... It's like a... They extract all the nutrients out of that. Like the moth man, I mean the moth. So anyway, it's very complicated. Very complicated language for all these silent letters. Complicated? You went here complicated? Go ask the men, that's how they came up with that language that they have. That's complicated. Oh, speaking of Dominicans. How come, let's say on Facebook, every Dominican girl with the profile has a very different name than all the other Latin... Yeah, that's what they're like, we're pretty unique. The names are... I don't know what these names are, I don't know where they come up with. The names, I've never heard of... Nobody in Latin America uses these first names. Like Belkis, you know? Like Belkis. Have you ever heard of Belkis? Yeah, a perfect example of my cousin's name, Gennetza. What is it? Gennetza. I've heard that in Hedza? That's what I'm saying, but it's not something you hear every day. You don't go like into a classroom and hear that, you know what I'm saying? Right, and if you talk to other Latin people from other countries, you never heard of a Gennetza? You don't hear those names. But the guys have normal regular names, the Dominican men. Sometimes? Sometimes. Like Joel. Or you get, for example, you'll get the normal names, they're not spelled right. For example, the picture from the Mets, Henry Mejia, it's spelled J-E-N-2-R's in a Y. Really? Yeah, it's supposed to be Henry, but they spelled Henry with a J. Well, because J is like Jajaja. Exactly, yeah. I like simple, normal names like David Ortiz. All right, so it's Manny Ramirez. Manny Ramirez, who's from Washington Heights, I think. The big picture. Who's that big picture from the gang? He's the big dude. The Monova? No, the big guy. Oh, C.C. Sabathia? Yeah, my guy. C.C. Sabathia. What, is he Dominican? No. Oh, he's not? You know what? I'm going to start saying that. I'm going to start saying C.C. Sabathia. What, what is he? No, he's from California. We're going to America. Well, he looks like he's a Dominican, right? Sabathia. Yeah, you can fast forward. You know what? I'm going to start with that.  Is Alex Rodriguez? Yeah, he rides a Dominican. But he's like, how do I say it? Hey, over there. You got quadruple layer cake? Quadruple layer cake. Do you want to have it? Yeah, but it's, you know, they have the best baseball farm system, I mean, in the world, the best, let me know. Yeah, dude, forget it. Those guys, that's like the one-way ticket. Thank you, bro. Thank you, bro. I tell you about that, those international playoffs, I love them. The last time I watched it, it was Korea versus Japan at the end, but Cuba had an outstanding team. I was surprised the Netherlands had a... Korea beat these guys? No, Korea was Korean. The maker probably won it last time. It was last year, and they won it. Oh, Dominican Republic won last year? It should be Puerto Rico. Oh, so Japan and Korea was not in the finals? No, they're probably in the semifinal. I'm not sure. Yeah. But I know that they didn't make it. Because they're always good too, man. Yeah, they played both. Japan won the first, Japan won the first, more or less. Japan beat Korea, but Korea was in the finals one year. I watched it. Outstanding players, you know? Mexico, a lot of them were chubby. Okay, we're here at the Puerto Calbo Fe. Trying to decide what I'm going to have here. It's some cake, a sugar cake. Looks like carrot cake. Jellos, I don't know what these are. Oh, what's this? What is this? I have no idea what this is. I'm going to try it. Okay, one of those. Mario Petrus wants a creme brulee. All right. I know I want some ice cream. What do we got here? Is that green tea ice cream? Is that green tea ice cream? Yes. Yeah, really? Yeah, I'll take a cup. I love green tea ice cream. I feel like three big scoops. How many are there? Two? No, no. A few of them. A few? Yeah, fill it up. I haven't had this in a long time. I don't know why they don't sell it in all the stores. Very good. Green tea ice cream. Thank you. All right. That's just so. Yeah, that's it. All right. Okay, we're back with the great Mario Petrus. Here's your creme brulee. They have green tea ice cream. It's not. I have no idea. I know. I'm going to try it. I don't know what it is. This is my friend. I know it's great. Call my friend here, sir. His dad owns a farm. His dad owns a farm in Blairstown, New Jersey. Yeah. He goes hunting. He's got like 10 acres or something like that. He goes hunting for deer. He's supposed to get me some deer meat right now. He's not answering the phone. Some venison? Yeah, his name is Jimmy. I told you I used to make venison chili. Yeah, I might have to smack him around, you know. I'm sorry. 10 elbows to the nose. Yeah, he's going to have to get 10 elbows to the nose. Okay, we're here at Porticole buffet. You're having a cute little thing, right? A cute little thing. Yeah, a little chocolate. Look at that. It's like a strawberry custard. Look how cute that is. Look how cute that is. Beautiful. You like it? Yeah, beautiful. It tastes great. And how was the creme brulee? It was good. This is a little better than that. Try that. Oh, excellent, excellent. Me, I just got some more soft vanilla ice cream. I had green tea ice cream before here at the Porticole buffet. Outstanding value. You're having your coffee now. I can't see the dinner. James and Mario, can you make me a star? I want to go to Hollywood with two guys. Oh, great. That's great. Oh, tell me something. The girls with bright pink hair, they usually pink all over? You mean does the hair match the carpet? Yeah. Usually I was going like this. So. Oh, wow. Yeah. And you were saying you weren't sure that this was magenta or fuchsia? No. I think it's a little bit of both. How do they pronounce it? Fuchsia or fuchsia? How does it pronounce? Probably fuchsia. But anyway, we're here at the Porticole. This is one of the waitresses. I don't want to call you pinky. What's your real name? Sandy. It's your stage name? Sandrina. Oh, not Sandra? No, Sandrina. Sandrina. Yes. Oh, interesting. Interesting. What do you think? I'm an atta girl. Atta girl. Yes. You know who he trained? You know who he trained? Who? He trained the, I'm not lying. The cast from Jersey wishes and the housewives from the Jersey. Really? No, not really. No, I never really trained them, but. He knows them. No, he knows them. You know them or you know of them? No, I have no of them. They're clowns. They're clowns. They couldn't shine my shoes. They're like the kids that got thrown in garbage cans in high school, you know? What's that? Nah, he really knows. He really knows them. Just being modest. You know what I'm saying? They're like people that got thrown in garbage cans. You mean like dumpster? That's hilarious. That's not nice. Where's the Jersey Shore?  Those guys, those guys will put on a show just to make fun of New Jersey. No, it's true. Absolutely. And Italian. Just to make fun of New Jersey. You're Italian? I'm Italian. I'm Italian and Greek. Italian mother, he's Greek and I'm Italian. Get out of here. See, look. Now Italian mothers, they usually drive you nuts. They drive you bonkers.  She's a nervous wreck. She made me a nervous, and my sister a nervous wreck. Absolutely. Like 100%, that's what my mom is too. When I see you go like this, I know something's going down. No, but I'm free. My mom's Italian. My dad is Greek, like off the boat. Greek, like when I was young, I didn't understand anything. Greek? No, only all the bad words. But everything has to be done right away. Everything. If I wash... If I say one second? Yeah. No. If I wash the dishes now, as a guy, I'm pretty nice washing the dishes. And I scrub them very well. I'm very meticulous. I rinse them very well. There's not one, no, not one bubble of soap. She wants them dried and put away. Like, she'll check them and make sure it's perfect. No, I'll hear banging in the kitchen. Yeah, absolutely. I says, I told you I'm busy. I'll get it in 20 minutes. That's not good enough. It's got to be put away. It's got to be dried.  Let it air dry. Let it air dry.  Absolutely. My dad, too. Oh my god, my dad is Greek. He's worse than mine. He's worse than mine. Oh my god. 100%. He got better now, but he was like off the boat, Greek, like European. Yeah, Greeks will work. Oh my god. Crazy.  Did you ever see my big man at a wedding? No, I never saw him before. Okay, you have to watch that. It's like, it's a whole thing. I said I got my whole life. All right. Now, Halloween is next Saturday, is it? No, no, next Friday. Friday. Next Friday. Yeah, my favorite time of the year. October. Yeah, that's why I have my web pages all dark and gothic with me. Is it? Oh, what's your web page?  I don't have a card, but if you Google Megalife21, you'll see my hundreds of shows. Everything will come up. Everything. You name it, it'll come up. Megalife21. Just yeah, just Megalife21 on Google. Yeah.  It's cool. So what is this for? What do you guys do? Well, I, how do you say it? How do you say it?  No, no, no, just kidding. No, he's, he's, he has a program. He's got a lot of clients where people have lost hundreds of pounds. And that's, I lost 150 pounds. Wow. But he's got his system tightens up loose skin without using surgery or anything. With the cream? No, diet. Really? Everything is food, essential fans and food. It's the only thing that's going to tighten up your skin. I was going to get surgery done actually.  Because remember, the skin's supposed to fit around you like a glove. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You get the surgery, you tighten it here, there. It's never going to be like that perfect fitting glove. So it's going to be out of alignment, you know? But nobody really knows for sure. Yeah. The thing is with me is that I've been on the journey. I was between 120 pounds, right? And I'm five, one and a half. So I was big. And then two years ago, two and a half years ago, I lost 150 pounds because I got lab band surgery. So I got that done. And I'm a singer, songwriter. Like I write music. What's that other word? You did lap dances. Lap band. What? Lap dances is after hours. I did lap band. Lap band? She's perfect for camera. Yeah, I know. She's a great editor. I did a reality show. We did like a pilot for that. But I was on that one. I'm a great think person. I love it. You know, very versatile. You're going to let the Jews have their way with it. Absolutely not. No, she knows nobody's going to pull anything over on her, I can tell. That's good. That's how you have to be. And yeah, so I do a political show with somebody else. And I used to work with pro wrestling. I was like a bad guy manager. And I did color commentary. And now I just do the political show. And I'm working with him on this documentary. We're just goofing around with the rest of us. We decided to be buffet critics. Honestly, we just have a show about restaurant.  You know what happened before here? It's going to be on YouTube with this. We were in the Rodizio on Main Street in Hackensack. Okay, I know that. Brazilian, whatever it is, Argentina, they were giving us garbage meat for lunch. For the same price as it cost to come here. And he found out that the waiter lied to him and we weren't getting skirt steak and other things. We were just getting sirloin. For four different types of meat. And two sides. So he flipped out and was yelling at us. I'm going to flip. I'm like that. Do not try to listen.  I'm going to flip. Like I'm going to flip out. That's why, honestly, I work here. Like people say whatever. But I really like this place is awesome. And the manager started like raising his voice to him. He said, this is what we have for lunch. And we have this and we have this.  I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to your waiter. Yeah. He like went up. He just went off on him. Yeah. I don't like when people try to pull one over on me. No, I would have. No. It's either you get smacks or elbows if you do that. This is that.  Don't push me. Don't push me. And don't try to lie to me. Like, who do you think I am? And they don't know like that. You know a lot about like the business. So they're just like, oh, this is this is this. No, that's not that. Anybody who goes there and pays $15 and misses out on this for $15. But that's what I'm saying. You have like five different kinds of meat. Then you have four different kinds of sushi. You have soups. You have salads. There's a big section.  And the dessert is like all homemade. Tiramisu. Did you try tiramisu? No, the dinner is it that much better than the lunch? Yeah. Yeah. At weekends, we have filet mignon. What are those? We get to have filet mignon. We have crab legs, filet mignon on weekends. Cheesecake, flan. We have oyster. Suckling pig.  No. We have pork loin though. With the apple in his mouth? The pork loin. Anyway, getting back to Hollywood. People don't realize that the very best in any given talent is not necessarily going to go to Hollywood and be a big star. Those people are hand-picked. It's very like political, office politics. You know, you have cronyism. In other words, you can't say, okay, I'm proven one of the best things around and I proved it. So I'm going to go to Hollywood. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Let me tell you something. The industry now, it doesn't matter how much talent you have. If you look good and you have someone that can make you what the industry is looking for, they're like there, they have so many. And they have casting cast. Absolutely. You see how the industry, you say the industry? Yeah. Well, it's not the industry. It's the Jew.  It's like with Jennifer Lopez, she gets involved with whoever can help her career, opportunist. It's true though. Yeah, she was with Puff Daddy because she became a singer. Then she's with somebody else, and Mark Anthony and this one and that one. But see, it works though. Well, because she's the type that is all career for herself. As long as she gets from point A to point B. Right now, the best thing is, I think, my opinion, is that girl, the white skinny girl, the skinny white blonde, like southern. Who the hell's her name? Oh, Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. I think she's the one of the best. I think Rihanna is one of the best. And Nicki Minaj, I think, is awesome because she's just. She's fat. Yeah, Rihanna.  So she doesn't know who he is anymore, but she's always back and forth with her.  Well, she was a go-go dancer, Lady Gaga, originally. Yeah. So was Annie Nicole Smith when she was alive. And then she married the 90-year-old geezer. Yep, and that's what got her where she was. Well, one foot on the banana peel, one foot in the grave. A billionaire. I love him. Oh, no, it's not for money. I love him. Like you, okay. Yeah, it's true. All right. All right, you got to get back. Thank you. Oh, no, I'm not. I'm just kidding. And just type in ports of coal, buffet, hack and sack, and it should be. Port of coal, no S. Port of coal. Port of coal. Port of coal, okay. Do you want to know the story behind it? Yeah, sure. Port of coal restaurant, right? When Will was a little boy, he traveled from sea to sea with his dad, and they took him all around the world to try all these different things. So when he got older, he took everything that he liked from all different ports and made it as one. And America was like his favorite one. So he had friends and he has Will Lynn. Will Lynn? Yeah, there's three more of these places inside of Florida, too. Miami, there's one. Great place. Great place, man. You just gave me the figure. You waving your hand? I saw that on Seinfeld. The waitress. George Gustin. He stands, yes. George Gustin is his favorite. The waitress goes like this. Oh, I think we have some more. I'll look check in the back. Yes, she did want to roast me. He's like one of the best waiters. I told him everything he knows. Well, I told him he was the best as soon as I walked in. I told him everything.  I told him everything. This is my lovely assistant. Are you teaching me anything? No, you're mine. So Pinky trained you? Yes, of course. Not at all. I'm mommy. I'm naturally a good waitress. I asked her if girls with pink hair are pink all over. But anyway, good story. Thank you. No problem, guys. Thank you. And if you ever need a singer or a songwriter, let me know. Okay. Oh, we have an open mic coming up November 1st at the Patterson Historic Museum near the Gray Falls. Starting at 6 p.m. Me and my friend, the performer, we're holding the open mic talent show. That's awesome. I'm going to go. Go. What do I look at? Where do I go? Well, just... Why don't you get three numbers? Yeah, yeah, just, yeah. It can create... Give me your numbers. What's your point? No, hold on for a second. What do you mean you can't say? What do you think I'm going to come get you? Come out over here. Everybody thinks every man is a stalker? You know what it is? This girl's trying to help me. She's a lovely girl.   I switched service. Supposed to be a faster plan. Like a five and... What is that? What kind of plan did I switch to? Five gigabyte? Like, what is that? Is that fast? It's not bad. It's good. It's usually four. I think it's usually four.  And now my phone's twice as slow. Instead of it's supposed to be twice as fast. No, it should be. It should be much faster. Yeah. This girl's lovely though, in the fall. She's a lovely girl. Southern California, but she's scared to say exactly where. She can't, she can't... She said she can't provide the information. Yeah, you're scared. But anyway... You got five gigabytes. James can't hold the straight face. You see how comical I am? See that everyone? Huh? I was born with it. Five gigabytes. Five gigabytes for your cell phone speed is pretty good, right? Five gigs? He's got... Depends on what you're going to use it for. What? You know what, if you're going to take a lot of pictures, holding music, stuff like that, then you might need it for more. Five gigs? So we'll just hold it. Look, it's a gig. A gig is a thousand megabytes, right? I don't know. Or it could be an acting gig, or a gig for a rock band, or... A storage base, a storage base. Look, how could there be an outage in the area I'm in all the time? An outage? How is that possible? Are you kidding me or what? What coincidence is that? Every area I'm in and every time I call is an outage in that area.  Huh? What is it?  It was true. There was an outage. Now there's an outage in the Hackensack area I'm in. Right? Yeah? Really, huh? You believe this camera? Our cameraman, do you believe this? Oh, I got it. What should I do about this? Switch back... What should I do about this? Switch back to your original plan. What do you think? Switch back to your original plan. Switch back to your original plan, right? All right, ma'am. So how long is this outage going to be? Three months? Four months? How old? How old? Look... All right, so how long is this outage going to be? Another month? Two months?  Let's see if the outage is still there in the other area. I mean, I'll be in Long Island. Let's see if there's an outage there, too. All right, honey? Okay, no need to go back to Edgewater.  Thank you. Thank you.  Inage, inage, outage. Are you kidding me? So you're paying more money? So every time I call them, and there's a problem with the speed, there's an outage. Every time I've called them, there was an outage in that area I was in. Is that coincidence or is that a trick? It can't be a coincidence. Is an outage every time? You might as well go back to your original plan. You're paying more money for the... Actually, it's less. It was less for more. It's less for more. Less for more? Yeah, but I think they had some kind of... Something's going on, something's going on.  I just got to start smacking heads into these keyboards or whatever they're doing over there. You know what I'm saying? All right, aside from... All right. Aside, let's get back to the port of Corbuffet. All right, let me get happy again. The critique. Now, this was two of us. We had drinks. Actually, did you get any drinks? No. Nice. I had drinks, coffees. Those are a little extra that's next to the buffet. The buffet was wonderful.  I ate an equivalent to a little bear.  I ate the equivalent to a little cub. So I ate a lot of meat. All right?  What do you think? How much meat? I don't know. I ate a lot of sushi. I didn't have a lot of meat per se. I had a lot of... I had the equivalent of like 10 porkies. Yeah, all right. Now look, this is what we got. I had some skirt steak. All right. Beautiful. Now, the price. Here's the price. Focus in on that. All the little details. You got to get them all. Beautiful. Beautiful. That go up. Ah, that boy. Let me tell you, man. This is the best value so far. Even the other buffet, that's $7. You know what? Compared to this, not even... There's no comparison. In terms of overall quality, bang for the buck, not even close. Overall quality, it's the best. This is the best by far. Unbelievable.

hey friends you're watching behind the scenes divine intimacy radio in a minute we're going to talk about heresy in the realm of the interior life prayer and all of that and also historically and then also current false teaching and junk in the church we have a ton of questions about all of this that will go through and but while we're wait well before we jump in there we have a webinar in two days March 9th Dr. Anthony and Lillis and I will be talking about the wounds of Jesus and the life of the Trinity via Lenten webinar to help you draw more deeply to to Jesus and his suffering and I think with that check out spiritualdirection.com forward slash events anything else you wanted to tell them about it's a homo is coming up it's a free event yeah that they can sign up for 50 Catholic speakers yeah incredible speakers so great place to just soak up a lot of really great content we're even gonna have spiritual direction breakouts which I think is really cool yeah and you're gonna be one of them right yeah and yeah and then if they want to learn how to pray considering that we're talking about false teachings against prayer yeah your into the deep is now a five-part series and they can also find that on there for free direction.com forward slash events it's scroll down it's called into the deep yeah and so can either be used as a parish program or individually for your own teaching or your small group so and it wasn't free to us it was quite expensive but we really believe we want the people of God need to be praying and drawing near to Jesus especially in these tough times and so we felt like you know folks would appreciate it and get it to more people if there was no barrier to the cost sometimes you know the negative is people think well if I'm not paying for it it doesn't have value it's very valuable but we want we'd rather you spend your money and time promoting it and helping others than you know necessarily paying for something like a product which we don't really care for that approach that makes sense all right ready to start the show yeah on your market set go this is Dana Stephanie Burke welcome to divine intimacy radio your radio haven't abreast I'm gonna do that again my voice is going bad excuse me stop reset this is Dan and Stephanie Burke welcome to divine intimacy radio your radio haven abreast your hermitage of the heart your monastery of the mine where we lift our hearts and minds to heaven to draw on the wisdom of the saints not the heretics the wisdom of the saints and the doctors of the church to help us navigate this tumult of life and so today we have Q&A on false teachings on prayer and the interior life and heretical stuff and so the first question is very interesting because it has a connection to my own past I stumbled across a book by a priest named father Miguel Molinos who seems to teach them pretty strange things are you aware of this book and is he off and this is why we name the show heretics because he was a heretic he was a 16th century what was called a quietist and so these are people who valued mental prayer very much but because of demonic deception they tended to drift away from the sacraments because they felt like they were elevated enough and so always in the presence of God they didn't need the sacrament sometimes they taught that they tended to not take sin very seriously which is very interesting parallel to non-christian eastern spirituality but they they would say well my spirit is pure so if my body is doing these you know bad things it doesn't really have an effect wow right I know wow so he was right so he was formally condemned as a heretic so my own connection though is I stumbled across his writings on a ridity when I was a Protestant that are actually actually helped me now that doesn't mean I recommend his works whether or not it helps you doesn't matter you know there are people who helped by false teachers and once you realize they're false you set him aside and know that the Holy Spirit met you where you were and and he helps you not that person so so anyway yeah and it and it led me to Saint Teresa of eventually into the Catholic Church so but I have no love for Father Molyneux God rest his soul he was an incredibly arrogant dude and spread a lot of bad stuff and he was rightly condemned in this in the 17th century 16th century so the next question is is centering prayer Catholic it's kind of a simple question right you know what made you know what made me laugh about that question why it's actually the title of a book right that we promote yeah yeah now you had an interesting experience with this book one time didn't you I did yeah we were doing by the way a marriage retreat in a very large Lone Star state to our West and a certain one start state to our West and at the book table we were putting out everything and I was talking to those that were helping us and the woman came up and saw the book started flipping through it and then started to argue and confront me about it like an inch away from your nose she did she did get up into my personal space and I don't know my my private my past experience as a Catholic school principal and as a school administrator makes me kind of unshakable sometimes so thankfully it didn't rattle me yeah you're very yeah it's like you know whatever but I did try to love her in it and I actually gave her the book and she threw it back at me onto the table so if if your first reaction to the question is centering prayer Catholic is one of violence and confrontation and anger that might be an answer to your question that it's not leading you closer to God that you're not finding his peace yeah peace that you're not truly finding him or communing with him in your prayer it's something else and so it's not a good sign yeah and then just to be like sensitive to people and to be deferential and all that a lot of people do desperately want to know peace and to know absolutely even the people who look into the occult yeah desperately or they're looking for something someone yeah it's just leading them someplace else yeah and you know so we're not condemning them in fact I wouldn't you know want to just encourage you if you if you're in the centering prayer realm read the book is centering prayer Catholic and it's by Connie Racini and forward by Dr. Anthony Lillis and I can say as someone who's been working with scholars for years on this on these projects and I mean the highest level of scholarship Connie is dead on target and the book is 100% accurate to Catholic teaching is centering care put prayer Catholic can you give us a synopsis in beloved spouse like why I mean it's it's not I mean why is it not a cash that's a whole show or two but fundamentally it takes father Thomas Keating is the you know the guru of it all and he he had a very pantheistic view of God he was trying to help people in the 60s and 70s who were Christians who were drifting off to the east and so he had a Buddhist come teach at his you know at his retreat center and it just did some really foolish things and he was incredibly poor-formed and theology and philosophy and so when he compared experiences in the non Christian realm to experiences in the Christian realm he did not have the formation to differentiate the two and so then he just spent the rest of his life rationalizing and proof texting oh this is what Teresa said and this is what you know Zen Buddhism teaches and they're the same when it's just not possible so it teaches that you can come to contemplative prayer through basically Buddhist means of sitting breathing techniques you know with an intention with an intentionality and repeating a sacred word that's the method he teaches that you can be that you are God and you know I always get people you know there'll be people in the con box say well you just don't understand you ever read his works decades with scholars a decade a decade with scholars I own every single book he's ever written super familiar with his works and it's not that I don't understand it it's that most Catholics you know a lot of Catholics will say this I've been a Catholic for 300 years and I read it and I didn't find anything wrong with it or I'm a deacon in the church and you know and I just want to say God bless you you were formed in the worst one of the worst times in the church yeah we were right you know I was because I grew up Catholic terrible formation you know it and it's hard to discern because one of the things about Father Keating and contemplative outreach in particular they used language that sounds orthodox but their definitions are different which I think is disingenuous and deceitful frankly but and and that's the hardest thing about his writing you have to read a lot of his writings to really understand what he's saying it and and understand that when he when he speaks of God he isn't speaking of the same God you know the Blessed Trinity that the average Catholic is because he teaches you become God I mean one of his summaries of the interior life he was asked you can find this on YouTube he says you know the beginning of the interior life is our spiritual life is you realize there is another and then step two you want to become the other and then step three realize there is no other that means now we have no creature creature creator distinction your God he's a pantheist or a a monist so anyway that read the book Connie Racini yeah now that was great I think that gave a little bit of a synopsis for people to at least understand yeah why the question the answer to that question is no right next question by the Ron Roheiser says we should pray hate and pray murder what is that about is this in keeping with tradition he also says in the same book that the devil is a psychological construct they didn't list the book but I think the book is called prayer our deepest longing I think is if I remember right because I did read it he did say the devil is a psychological construct which is a really unfortunate I'm not calling him a heretic but I wouldn't in a million years recommend anything he's ever written on prayer no not not at all yeah we I had a scholarly review done of that book and it's it's quite it's it's quite disturbing you know I think just like Keating there's good intention there but just too much of a departure from our tradition I he's just not somebody I would recommend anyone read who's looking for faithful Catholic content yeah I mean if you want to especially for us the idea that the enemy is a psychological construct is laughable well I mean who's Jesus talking about in the wilderness right or is the story just made up right so Jesus is not or the story is just made up I I don't know how you deal with I don't know you know I just think that that's incredibly foolish what is the difference between non-Christian eastern prayer and authentic Catholic prayer Jesus yeah right well honestly seriously right let's not forget to talk about has a cast tradition and the Jesus prayer as an example but the non-Christian eastern prayer is is obsessed with method so sit breathe you know hold your shoulders a certain way I always talk about this one show I watched with it I think there's a father John Main or brother John Main I can't remember if he's a priest or not and it's the his method is being touted as this wonderful thing by secular news station which ought to give you a signal then it's a problem that's a problem and so he to teach these students how to praise walking through the class and and he and he's he has this sort of erudite way about him and he to help someone one of the students pray reaches over very mystically and adjust their shoulder blades back a 16th of an inch thereby making them receptive all their shock growths it's really it's really I mean sorry to make fun but it's so stupid yeah and I think really one of the points that needs to be made is that we can't buy method receive contemplative prayer because contemplative prayer is a gift yes it's a gift from God yeah we can prepare ourselves by it we make avail ourselves through Christian meditation and spending time in prayer silence and an attentiveness sacred time sacred space sacred attention into the deep anyone we can do those things but in the end contemplative gift a contemplative prayer is a gift not something we quote-unquote quote do or manufacture yeah right when you're you're pointing you know you're pointing out a lot of the difference between non-christianese and and our tradition if I would just simplify it down to its most basic concept non-christian east is looking to manage thoughts and manage the the situation the the Christian tradition Catholic tradition is to fill the heart and mind with God to fill the heart and mind with the beloved other which has a profound effect and I think maybe when we get back we should talk about that effect because I do have a specific example of someone who was doing the non-christian eastern thing and the effect on the person was quite disturbing yeah and what happened to it in the fallout in the family so I think it's fascinating let's do that when we get back from the break we'll be right back so for those now that we're on the break real quickly holy spirit in the life of the church an overview of the action in the presence of the holy spirit throughout salvation history highlighting God's works of creation redemption sanctification so this is a course at the Abba Institute Dr. Cynthia Tulin Wilson and it starts March 10th that's in three days I mean you can still sign up go out to avala-institute.org and let's go back to the show you're ready on your markets at go this is Dan and Stephanie Burke welcome back to divine intimacy radio we're talking about paratix that's great false teachers on prayer I'm we're not calling all these people heretics with the the first question it was no I thought it was a playoff of politics paratix I thought that was kind of funny heretics and prayer I know but yeah so the first guy we talked about was a heretic I'm not the church is the one determined to heretic not Dan Burke so the rest of these were just talking about problems so before the break we were talking about non-christian eastern prayer what was what happened so Catholic family yeah married in the church participating in the sacraments the wife was very devout and becoming more and more so she was she was really having a transformation going deeper into prayer leaning in to the teachings that we were offering back in those days at spiritualdirection.com and through radio and events and stuff and her husband began to practice non-christian eastern spirituality meditation she was very concerned she approached me about it we talked about it I explained what the problems were she did try to talk to him about it he became very angry very aggressive turned out while he was doing this non-christian eastern meditation thing he was also having an affair with a neighbor and and it just devolved into absolute chaos with him leaving his extraordinarily beautiful wife and their children and devastating that family and it was just such a sad thing because he was dead set that that meditation was helping him it was helping him and bringing him closer to God while he was simultaneously having an affair so a real indicator that he wasn't meditating on Jesus he wasn't leaning into a relationship with God and the blessed trinity but rather was in some sort of manufactured demonic silence that opened a door a gateway really to hell for him and his family I pray that that's changed that there's been a reversion or something I don't keep in touch with the family anymore but it was just a devastating real indication of this is problematic and and that's not the only one it's been story after story after story of how people get involved in buddhism yoga etc the non-christian eastern thing religion and they just end up getting lost in it yeah I mean it's back to your other thing where you got confronted I would say the most violent reactions that I get when I teach or whatever the most violent might be the most yeah negatively dark energetic aggressive in some of it very aggressive while you get that woman right in your face are from those who practice you know these these these false teachings and the reason is is because the peace that they feel because it does produce a kind of false peace is is rooted in the demonic and so as soon as the demon is exposed with the truth it incites the person to come after you like it's just it's crazy to watch but the same thing happens with yoga and other non-christian eastern practices people just go nuts over it so back to the question what's the difference between non-christian eastern prayer and authentic catholic prayer it's non-christian east is obsessed with method they have no concern about morality in relationship which is an example of your that situation that happened to that woman here at your school so they but they so the the other thing is they conflate terminology they'll often conflate meditation and contemplation and they try to overlay it with christian terminology and you know people say well you know Father Keating is just using the Hezekast tradition and I want to say okay listen I've worked with a Hezekast scholar he actually works for us at the Aval Institute Dr. Joel Barstadt he's a Byzantine priest and a scholar and he's been the rector of a seminary and I asked him one day I said what's the difference between centering prayer which he was familiar with and the let's say the Jesus prayer and Hezekast prayer he said Hezekast actually pray he's they're actually talking to Jesus so repeating a word is not prayer I mean and of course in in scripture Jesus when they said teach him how to pray Jesus had a pray he said you know first he said a positive thing then he said a negative thing he said don't pray like the pagans do well how much don't yeah I mean what how much what more else do we need it is a direct violation of Jesus teaching to go to Buddhism or other non-christian groups to learn to pray and you know the reason people justify it is they misinterpret Nostratate from the Second Vatican Council which was the declaration on non-christian eastern religions where it says whatever is good we should acknowledge it it doesn't say whatever is good we should go chasing after it but it says it's a reflection of array it's it's not even the substance of the thing and I think really because I I don't know how many people actually know about Nostratate yeah I think at the core of it is we have had generations of of parishioners of people in our church that have been lost by poor catechesis they are searching for God and so when one of these teachers presents themselves one of these books ends up in their pew or at their church because they're being passed out by somebody or a malinformed priest or whatever they they think oh finally I have this longing in me and I'm going to find an answer here so the desire for prayer the desire to be one with God is innately created in each of us it's a good desire yeah but we need to stay within the confines of what is good and holy and right and and proper and with and in keeping with what Jesus taught us and what holy mother church teaches us in order to stay safe we must stay safe within holy mother church when we start to step out then we're putting ourselves in danger yeah I mean I agree I totally agree with that next question I'm reading a book by father Richard Rohr he seems to teach that we should empty our minds in prayers this is this the is this right I mean just to summarize the question you know he I would say is one of the worst what the other day I listened to a video of his where he was equating Buddhism and Christianity and just some of the weirdest weirdest stuff I mean his his his is off the rails I mean if they're I like I said I'm not one to call anyone a heretic that's the church's job it wouldn't be a hard label to put on what he teaches I'm it's shocking that he's in good standing that's you know people say well how can you say that against the priest he's in good standing it's like well there's plenty of priests who are in good standing who are off the rails it's just the church has lacked its lost its will to discipline and doesn't care about it anytime some yeah as well I mean we just had a serial abuser set free by the Vatican so Richard Rohr is is is the worst of the worst I wouldn't I would just toss it that's good if you have a bird gauge and you need some lining that would be a good use of that book my wife's going you are so imprudent it's just that bad I mean it's just to you know welcome to my world not Catholic all right what do some authors seem why oh this is worded a little funny here why do some authors seem to use the word we use contemplation in the same way as if there is no difference I thought there was a big difference well you're right there's a big difference so there's two camps that do this one is orthodox and one is not the Ignatian tradition unfortunately orthodox Ignatian tradition unfortunately uses the two terms interchangeably the karma two terms meditation and contemplation the karmalite tradition reserves meditation I mean contemplation for that you described it earlier said the gift the gift the higher order and I and and somebody might say well how do you choose between the two well I would say Ignatius is not a doctor of the church John of the Cross is Teresa of Abel is Teresa of Lissue is you know stay with the doctors of the church stay with the doctors of the church not only that when when you receive the gift of contemplation you will know and there will be no question so it's it's not like you know if you're not really sure if you've had if you've had the gift of contemplation or not then you haven't had it well and I will say look you know an easiest easiest way to understand it is if you're still an habitual mortal or venial sin it's not likely you've known contemplative prayer in a substantive way you may have had some tastes some encouraging encouraging movements from God but and if you haven't practiced mental prayer meditation every day every day for years persevering past habitual mortal and venial sin it's not likely that you really understand experientially what it is though the Lord does encourage us the other way that it's used in an orthodox sense is pre 16th century the the terms didn't have as much clarity as they did post 16th century because of the Carmelite doctors so you might even hear Dr. Lilas talk about kind of contemplation he's completely orthodox in a little but the worst use is among you know what were the paratix who make no distinction you know they're the the folks who are constantly distorting prayer like Father Thomas Keating Father Richard Rohrer Father Ron Roheiser okay um and by the way I hate talking negative and using names but I think and and I can't even remember the last time we've done anything like this and done that but people ask and they're struggling and and and if we can teach in a definitive positive way but sometimes it doesn't go far enough because they don't know who to just say no i'm not going to read any of them well there's a list of trusted authors right there is uh that Connie Rossini put together uh she publishes out on authentic contemplative prayer in uh on facebook you can find it and they're just authors that she has researched and she's just trustworthy and down to the minutiae down to be trusted totally true um okay so why so they so yeah that's why uh so oh we're gonna get let's see if we have any more time uh so we're about we're about right ahead at time but I think I'll let you answer this last question stuff it feels like I'm accomplishing nothing in prayer how do I know if I'm actually praying or not it's a really two different thing well okay so I'll answer it a different way the question is am I actually praying am I growing in holiness two ways um are you growing in virtue and ask somebody close to you if you're growing spiritually chances are if you are not growing in virtue and if you are not becoming more loving more giving more you know self-denying and growing in virtue then the prayer is probably not authentic um if if you're spending a lot of time in prayer and uh your the use on the internet who you are at work and at church and school or whatever out in the world is all different then you're not authentically growing in virtue so I virtue is really virtue i.e love and humility is really is the ultimate measure of whether your prayer is authentic yeah and if you're if you're in the gospels and you're seeking to know Jesus and you're talking to him about it that's prayer I mean just you know be a piece of that yeah read into the deep my book uh check out my series it's called into the deep it's free you can find it out on spiritualdirection.com a five-part high quality film series that you can get and watch to understand all these questions and so you can grow in holiness and with that until next time may the god of peace make you perfect in holiness may he preserve you whole and entire spirit soul and body irreproachable at the coming of our lord jesus christ amen


Amazon is opening a concept store that exclusively sells items with four-star ratings or higher in Berkeley, California. This store was modeled after the first Amazon four-star shop in New York City, which was stocked with more than 2,000 top-rated items, including toys and kitchen gadgets. Although many people are excited about Amazon's grand opening, the question still remains on how this will affect local businesses on Fourth Street. Amazon comes to the block with a huge brand, and they will definitely attract their regular customers to come to Fourth Street. That certainly can't hurt. However, George Kiskaden, owner of Builders Bookstores on Fourth Street, says that there's a disconnect between Amazon and the Berkeley community. Their store, I mean, the thrust is this four-star idea. Four-star are better. These are the greatest products in the world. Well, these are the greatest products in the world, perhaps to the majority of the United States, but Berkeley is a pretty unusual place. I feel that there is probably a disconnect, but we won't know until they open. We'll have to see. The arrival of Amazon and other stores like Sephora and Apple reflect the changing nature of Fourth Street, which has been long known as the center of independent boutiques.

Dell's gaming notebooks are silently one of the better ones on the market. Here we have the G155520, an Alder Lake H equipped powerhouse, which also comes with high TGP graphics from Nvidia and high refresh rate displays. From the outside, the laptop can definitely be identified as a gaming one, with red G letter on the right side and an aggressive lid and backside. The whole laptop is black, which gives it a stealthy appearance. The G15 uses plastic for its entire chassis, along with reinforcements on the inside for extra durability. This makes the notebook a bit heavier, as it weighs between 2.52 and 2.67 kilograms, while the profile is quite chunky as well, at 26.9 millimeters. The G is good, as the base is really solid, while the lid flexes a tiny bit. Thankfully, it opens with one hand, revealing the base, with a large grille on top, a keyboard, and a touchpad. The board looks like the units that we see on Dell's office devices, which doesn't bode well for gaming. Despite the four-zone RGB backlight, the key travel is average, despite the vertical space that's available. The touchpad is small but fairly accurate. However, the cover that it uses isn't the most pleasant to work with. The input-output is different depending on your GPU selection. The RTX 3060 equipped models come with a Thunderbolt 4 port, while the others have a standard 10 gigabit USB-type C port that's on the back. The rest of the backside houses a full-sized 5 gigabit USB port, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a power plug. On the left, there is a LAN port and an audio jack. Lastly, on the right, there are two more full-sized 5 gigabit USB ports. There are three display options, with two FHD panels with either a 120Hz or a 165Hz refresh rate, along with a QHD 240Hz display, all with IPS panels. We've chosen the first display, which is fine for gaming, but lacks sufficient color coverage to be used for design work. For that, you can pick any of the other two displays. Still it doesn't use PWM which is good for your eyes, plus it can get better with our display profiles. You can get them from the link in the description. The Dell G155520 comes with a 56Wh battery pack which lasts for 6 hours and 17 minutes of web browsing, or 5 hours and 44 minutes of video playback, which isn't ideal, but you still would be able to get some work done without a charger. Only 2 per 100 people watching this video are subscribers. If you decide to just start following us, we'll be able to reinvest more in our laboratory thus making even more helpful videos for you. Thank you, you're awesome. These results are with the Core i7-12700H and a 95W RTX 3050 Ti, which perform quite well. The CPU outperforms its 11th generation counterpart while putting to shame the Ryzen 7 6800H as well. This is both in 3D rendering with Cinebench 20 and 2D rendering with Photoshop. The RTX 3050 Ti shows decent performance, scoring similarly to last year's G15, as GPUs didn't really change since last year. In games, the 3050 Ti is able to max out a lot of games, running them at pretty much playable frame rates. In eSports titles, you'll reach 120fps plus with no problems, so you can take advantage of the 120Hz display. Even Apex Legends, which is slightly more demanding, runs at 123fps average at the max preset. If you want to see more games tested on the RTX 3050 Ti, we have a whole playlist over on our laptop media benchmarks channel, which tests all the popular GPUs inside many games so that you can get an accurate performance assessment. Cooling the laptop is left to a pretty good setup. It has 4 heat pipes, 2 fans, and 2 large heat sinks. It takes good care of the Core i7-12700H, maintaining a TDP of 89W in the long run, while the clock speeds are good as well. As for the RTX 3050 Ti, it's one of the better performing units that we've seen, maintaining a 90W TGP, along with a consistent speed of 1.8GHz. Lastly, Comfort is very good, for a gaming device. The fans do generate a fair bit of noise, while the base is cool even under heavy load, as the hot elements are moved to the back. With this, the keyboard has a hotspot of only 38°C. The Dell G15 has 2 RAM slots, only 1 M.2 slot for storage, that fit DDR5 modules and generation for SSDs respectively. You'll have a link to our teardown video in the description below. With a fairly big keyboard and touchpad mishap, the Dell G155520 still remains the viable option for gamers, providing excellent performance, through good cooling and high wattage components. Thanks to its low price, it can challenge the idea pad gaming threes in Victus 15s and 16s of the world, making it an excellent, if not a better alternative. For a more in-depth look, we have a written review on our website, which covers the G15 from head to toe, with more tests and insights.
