Hello, hello everybody. Welcome to an afternoon British stream from your old pal Longman. Well, I don't know if anyone's watched Mahler's entire Five-hour playthrough of this. I haven't played a game in a while. I haven't streamed a game in a while I've been busy honestly just Absolutely pumping away at a video, but at one point I was watching it and I was in chat It was marveling over how bad this game is and laughing So I thought I guess I should play it too just to get a good laugh out of it More like you I am gonna I am gonna do you mate Yeah, I like how up here it says the Lord of the Rigs But I will forever call this Lord of Rig golem. I think it's just too funny. Dot-toe That's where they release a giant wall of text right on cue and A lot of people notice very quickly. What are the things in this? Like this is already bad enough news seeing something like this, right? But if I just read out of the Lord of the Ring that does yes as dear players We'd like to sincerely apologize for the underwhelming experience many of you have had with the Lord of the Ring I keep I keep adding the verb. I check it's Lord of Ring I keep instinctively adding the there it's Lord of Ring Do you think when they realized that was there they were like, oh fuck we can't repost this like It's absolutely terrible and I've seen us obviously saw the The apology From them which apparently has a 94 percent chance or something of being generated by an AI But can you already tell like? It just looks cheap like I don't know why like that's your i-card. It's like I feel like that could look better Be thankful for the money Steven.  Look at Gollum.  I think I thought I said it to medium yesterday if you want to play this game at 1080p frame rate of 60 at medium settings then It is recommended that you have an RTX 3060 this is what you decide to play for a break god damn it mutually.  Are you sure about that? Look at that water the water looks kind of real, right? Like that's how water moves really loving this static background image that uh Fades whenever you leave it that doesn't look cheap at all either. Will there be a mini breakdown for this game? No I'm not gonna make anybody else play this thing Hashtag make as suffer. I'm on board with it, man James Moore is smaller making everyone suffer through the game. I was definitely not forced By Mahler or convinced by Mahler to play this because it won't be funny memes Definitely not. He said you need to play as I know. No No No No, Maulah No, Maulah. No Consent means that both people are actively willing to engage in a particular behavior and express their consent by saying yes That's okay with me. Oh why my friends with that guy again. I have to call him. Please Sekiro I want to see play it. I do intend to play Sekiro at some point. I just love the idea that we uh We play this and the Sekiro back to back Like this is like yeah, you know, it's kind of one thing at the one side one thing at the other collectibles All right, there you go. You got your little golem fingers there golem hair simulation Oh my god, we've got to have that on do we not was it little platoon that was mentioning his greasy hair like it changes performance significantly They set it to offer default I Wouldn't want to drag the games before it's too far down would they all right downloadable content lads? Let's see how a suite here. We've got an emoji pack Look at this a pack of six exclusive golem animations Presend to trigger a special animation Excited to check that out. That's just that's wonderful Excellent. What a great thing to have that you have to pay extra for good job guys good stuff Sindarin Elves speak elvish turn on can I not turn that on did I not get it? Oh switch That's not doing anything.  It's really good. It's fine and good. Well, all right, then You lads ready for a new game new game. Here we go. Here we go. Sorry new game roll, right? Previous game. Do you want to proceed? Yes without me eyes are marbles No, darkness they see Oh We done with that Okay, oh god, I've already seen it and it's still funny.  It looks That's Gandalf he doesn't have a name Why is he called wizard if he's Gandalf and I was to say wizard when he's already called in Gandalf Why don't we start with your name? Oh Your real name No, I was just coughing bro. Y'all them doesn't remember names. I guess well, but is that how the subtitles wizard off We said what's he got? We said brackets off Bilbo Baggins. I know him I'm not trying to help you trying to rob you you leave the Baxter out of this He took something from you Oh Following the books by jr. Okay, and don't why is he called wizard off? Why?  Is that what it refers to? No wonder everything else doesn't do that. Yeah, it looks like off screen Person they're talking off screen. Do you get it?  Oh Okay, we're back for years. Golem has dwelled in the never mind. Okay. That comma is off Though right there next to Wraith that comma is off If only we knew the origin story of Mordor If only there was a brave stunning and brave television show Which showed us the origin story That's not how it works, that's not how any of this works Well, I wish I could have rewinding but that lightning bolt went straight through that rock and I don't think that was on purpose Turner, come on. You got to relax. Don't force it.  Oh Look at us. Yeah, oh Alright, it's already very janky. Okay, so you got it. You got it. You got a You've got to move the mouse in coordination with with Golem Remember how I went to a visit mutually and he made me watch with glass onion twice This is what it means to be friends with a long man. Here are seven warning signs of emotional abuse. It's like pandemonium Look, I got that. I just jumped. I jumped. I got yeah, I got it.  It's so weird. All right first things first Let's kill ourselves for the fun of it. We got to do in these things Not the most impressive death screen, but that's okay.  Wow By a bad It's so sudden this is like your dad So you can hear my keyboard, right? So this is me hitting the D button So if I hold it will hold forward and just tap the D button. It doesn't do anything. That's insane I don't know when I've lost if I've ever seen this like I don't think you need to make any precision inputs or anything in this game But the fact that you have to hold it down like half a second that you see like how it snaps to the left and right That's crazy.  I feel like half a second or something. I Don't remember if I've ever seen this before Good God, did you see how jittery that was?   That's that's hilarious Just a dead-end video game, you're not gonna reward me with something This is a 2023 game Doesn't it make more sense that it's a 2023 game don't you think I just move shit with my This is probably set in the rings of power When we came Sounds like that one demented grasshopper in a bug's life You must have had friends one a Family, oh, you know what we haven't done is do the emotes All right, what did I say it was Z? Okay, yeah, it's a pay for that. What's that? What's it? What's this golem vision? But I turned it to low You're kidding me, right? Just I thought we'd nailed platforming ages ago. I didn't realize that was still kind of a challenge for developers Now what sprint toward the wall Okay, wait, hold on hold on hold on hold on what is the point of having a climbing mechanic when you can just run up the wall Doesn't that defeat the object of the climbing mechanic? That I look like it shouldn't have worked to be honest All right, let's oh, what what come on, I don't even get to try and run away Right red Nah Shoot him you guys don't even have arrows This specific area is a force a force crawl it's like enemies over there or something wait, this is our friend isn't it? Jesus Christ, is this my stealth mode?    Oh, you put me back here Let me crawl behind them again.  You were Hello, just press Q to throttle him.  What's gonna happen sneak up and hold Q for ambush finally. Oh My goodness Wait for all. Oh, did I have to keep pressing Q?  See? There you go. It's my ammo. Can I aim? Oh my god. Check it out The lights God This is getting by Spooders. Oh that looks awful, but that's fine Oh This is a friendly bug, huh?  What is this?   I think it's like a little bit off from that But still look how bad that looks. Oh, it's aerial.   Spider is still around winged Nazgul are always watchful. I don't know. These are arguments convince me to kill the beetle and hide too dangerous because of spider too dangerous because of race Well, I guess race well both but they're the ones that the I don't know who's the beetle gonna take I don't know how to deal with this Enter Enter That is me pressing enter hold enter. There we go Smash it smash it swallow it home. You just need some fedora One the occupant Master friend You don't have any friends Nobody likes you Golem won the argument. Oh Bro, I was a golem game. What? Oh, no, what if we bump into the Spooder? They really want him, huh? I just tech smaller.  It is a Batman mode. I Thought so this game was delayed three times The violence are coming for you.  What did you tell him?  What? My name ain't Grashnag Talk to cruel orc Somehow I feel like the narrator is biased.  Look at you. It's fascinating to play these kinds of games because As much as they can pretend as though they have some level of finish Just by playing it.   That's just cruel and unusual. I jump over there. Is it gonna kill me? The death animation is so funny Oh, what's with the random frame drop stop? Why nothing is happening? Just uh, take all the loading screens you need. Okay game Christ, this is actually like the fast way to get around isn't it? Hey everyone You're all just here. I guess, you know because Does it at all feel like all these environments? They just they've just dropped people in randomly.  That's right.   Oh my god. Why are you lagging all of a sudden? Was it because I turned off that texture thing? Oh come on so It didn't give me an option to activate it.  Let me have a look at how this lever works, shall we? Okay, I thought he said that this one can be broke shut up I don't care Don't stand inside the lever.  Thank you But what is this? Why why is it built this way guys?   We just played Do you know what I mean? There's no like Let's call it environmental storytelling for one Characters that are like just getting on with doing things.    I feel like anyone with an extra 10 minutes could make this better than it is What happened? Are they ghosts?  I suppose. What have you got to say? Oh I don't want to look down there They're just clipping. Oh, look at these ones down there This one just disappeared Why is there just random lights? flying around Oh, it's so gross Look at this. This guy's just Is he walking backwards?   It's like You're doing it. I am but I I don't feel like I'm doing it Someone marked this game to make oh god. Oh, no, I got the stanky leg What the He was just like just crabbing his own ass or something three three three So aggressive three don't break with the two dollars says it takes about 20 hours No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no At least there's no water 10 out of 10 ign What did give what did ign give this game? I'm actually curious now ign Golem a four out of 10.  This is essentially what you do right when you create eight tags to collect and you put them in all corners of the map It's uh, yeah, it's true. It's true. That's how it goes Like it's just a golem copy in the hand or something The thing is uh, the more familiar I get with this game the more I am very acutely aware of how easily I can kill golem at any moment And as much as that's funny, I don't want to have to find all the tags again, you know I am incredible.   What's gonna happen. Are you just gonna Walk somewhere and then stop? How far did they animate this? Come on. What did you do developers show me?   What happened? You'll have to your foot over there.   You can't do any work Look at his foot is bent It's like prison cell door open guy just standing in the center of it doing nothing looks the same as several thousand other people You've seen Whoa, look at him standing there looking at the wall Hello Isn't this crazy good? Why am I even looking around as if there's only oh, I guess we don't Ah that face blonde though He did like a little I've seen people shoot the whole night staring out that window all dead Wow, that beard it's just what are you looking at the way the gate Oh, yes That beautiful gate It's straight out of lookboards There it is Opening to the chime of a bell. I could show you the way if you want to see for yourself. That beard is so funny Hey mom, it's me. I just wanted to call to say I love you Having a bad day. I'm just in the middle of a stream at the moment But I I just I just thought I called you to say that I loved you they get to to laugh mercilessly at how bad this game is And how it's driving me crazy And I unfortunately have to actually play it.   I just fell further than I ever have You didn't set off the bomb.  Did I not? Hang on.  I just fell through the goddamn platform into the lava Ah sudden hell brand not I wasn't looking at the screen I was just walking forward So you can see there are some there are stakes in this Broke me a silver leaf last night.  You couldn't even be bothered to make it go like They have worse lip sync than muppets. I'm only holding forward by the way Oh, that's way better than it was before what? Wait wait, maybe it's a later one. There it is. Broke me a silver leaf. They gave up They gave up They animated the first bit that they stopped They were like no one's gonna listen to it beyond the first sentence. Come on.  We're good He's still It's like a tentacle.   So bad. Yeah, this this is like I said I didn't realize this was actually considered like acceptable by any company ever Imagine being the ones that like developed this you'd be like guys.  They're they're okay. It's like Good god. Have you seen how low it can go? No, boy. Stop. It's too low. You're back bone can't take it I think y'all would rather watch me, um play elden ring to be honest You're nothing to me now Was that some hit scandal? Oh So bad Why You didn't have to make it this way Just go forward What are you doing? Oh, come on. Just snap a um, uh, that's that you grabbed wrong there Devs devs get another job Whoa Those boys can go super speed every once in a while, huh?   Thanks for that epic jump Hey, what you're gonna do now? Oh, I guess you just don't snap on this one this time Flip I did nice golem. I like the pixelated light as well Oh my god, wait. Hold on. Sorry folks. We've got to wait for him to come back We've got to wait for him to come back. Hold on a second Hold on a second.    It might just kill you We're so close to possibly going back to hurting random animals or blowing up random things What was that? You see just kind of stopped on the surface and then again was like oh hang on. That's like physics Uh quick drag him down a little bit Matthew Hammond with the five dollars is what is the worst part of this game? Yes Like is that what they think stealth mechanics are like?  He's like why not better you weren't under the table The jank it saved me. Look the jank saved me Well, you lost me too.  Uh, it's abysmal.  Look how blurry that is the other side of the bridge Yeah, sure, man. Let's do it What's this?   I click it Do you want to load?  Look at those look at them Look at them The longer you look the more you see It's supposed to be just orcs walking around Look at it. I want you to look at it Probably fall there not die, right? It's just like The great eyes sees us.  I could see them being like, what do you mean? It's like you have this whole area of mortal They're like welcome What do you want to do?  I totally didn't make it and then the game was like, well, I don't know good enough Game soundtrack should be that Sam Neill scream. Yeah, why not? Wait, that was the meme image wasn't it? And then the meme they added get give head Why can't they just make a good Lord of the Rings game where you actually get to do what you think about when you think About Lord of the Rings that would make too much sense. We don't do that Over your lofty tone. What is this your handwriting? Why do you guys sound exactly the same? Tones I found this quite illuminating Who gave you this read it? I know what it says. Is it the same voice actor that like does our lord? Art thou trying to threaten me? I only ever wish there to be friendship between us Consider the matter dealt with Which matter the bridge in the mines?  I can't even tell why Do you see that enter leave and then nothing on take ball hover over it and it's the same Why now it's the same.  I won't miss one bottle Wait No, I meant grab it. Wait.    What was that? You showed the back of the head of some fucker What was that? How do you not keep the how do you how?    Why am I being forced to do this? Why Why I think golem is becoming the morbius of games. There's a mini-map Yeah, there's a mini-map or like a map and that's not a mini-map.  He must God that's the mouth of saaron looking at me such a goober. I know That will be very helpful Oh, no Chat what doesn't mean What is this is this water? Is this like a little water leak?  What is going on?   I'm just gonna maybe prompt the mission whatever it is You enter companion most like there's a blue thing below the green guy now I was like, okay, what now? Oh now the blue thing is there And now it's over there and lever and there So whatever just sent him straight over there Kill him. I don't like him It's not even an animation at all There's my trunk is help crash net cage the borax use the companion mode to send him to a target. What? Oh come on Why would I ever want to do this? Why aren't they killing him? The crash neg died Okay What What that doesn't make any sense That makes no sense at all. How the hell is anyone supposed to know that's how you do it? I've only seen this one. So I I I guess I have to figure out the other one They only made one level. Oh, that's it. Okay. Why?  He calls me call him now. Don't worry. Okay. Yeah, we're done with that.    It doesn't match anything on screen. I don't think I don't need will it return.  This is exciting. Oh No Oh, it's all right. It's all right. We're fine. Where's the checkpoint gonna be? And I saw meme play shadow of mordor today And golem is in that game and it's When I look at him here and look at him In shadow of mordor, he just looks like the golem, you know, right?  It's so large He will remember precious We will make him We must have it back We must have it Christ Got him got him Bright master Yes We know Bright master came to us In our dreams No, no, no to be more Yes It was mine to keep Where's the exit?  I made a white bird.  There you go That that was not right at all, but that's fine. I'm gonna get you a little bit Throw bread. I see this is the throwing bread area.  See that jar hanging below me. There's a figurine hidden inside. Oh out of reach even for you, right? No, fine I'll use my bird slave to get it for me. I don't even know See my gamer brain just wants me to explore this area But then I remember what I'm playing. It's like, oh, no way.  Golem runs through beasts.   She's in the room.  Hello You see there was there was some parchment on the table. That's why I couldn't move It makes sense Stop spawning me backwards.    They like see you have to defeat the enemy.  We did that count That counts it snoozing moderately Did they put snoozing originally they're like that doesn't really capture it Tonight Oh my god, do you see that? Like loading those different screens and I love it when the loading screen flips out and reloads the loading screen That's where we came from.   What is that? Okay, I just want to jump Just want to do it fast like you wouldn't like good platforming You're like jump jump jump, but then you realize oh wait this game cannot handle two button inputs at once So you have to do it slowly while the game gets confused Lie All right, this is it. This is the end.  Do you think what I'm thinking partner? Aim for the bushes What is this? Why is what what is this like honestly?  What is this thing? Why do we have a melting laser? You're goddamn right? Oh, no don't drop again. Okay So now I need to back with him Oh, oh no My god, look at his arms Bro doesn't know what to do. Oh god. No. I come with this game Oh step back step back to reality. There goes gravity Trying to leave her up there on the cage. Oh, yeah, that was a great idea Roll credits we done it we did it we're dead There's one way to go. I don't need him to tell him in companion mode.   So he can't get up Okay, see that's the rules.   I Was trying for music It's such a joke And there you go. We did it Never mind he says Never mind my orc friend has strangled over there I love the way that the game makes you feel like you've made No progression to do anything Excuse me. What was that? Did you see that?   I'm up here. Oh my god For the health pickup.  Why didn't you?   What? No What what rumors are you guys spreading? Buy a ps5 for golem No Tonight would be a really good time to call up an ex-girlfriend that you had a bit of a falling out with, you know You haven't spoken to each other for a long time You're not interested in keeping touch, but you know the single It'd be good. It'd be good to call them up tonight.  Isn't this game? Anything?  I love it It counts mechanically it counts.   Keep panicking convince golem to keep panicking I thought we couldn't kill mocks with helmets.   Come get me a waddling fleamer Oh, no, what are you gonna do now? It's all over bud You can't get him.   Is this on the section when just doing stuff like what like what could what could go wrong And then this game just throws you a curveball. It's like Here's a crate that goes down, but there's no rope attached to it anymore. If we stopped we stopped coding in Here Hey, can we strangle this guy? Uh, oh no, what are you gonna do?  No, I I Even floating the idea of making the others play this is just Close to an impossibility I think and a welcome to how to stop compulsive lying Seven tips to stop you getting caught in your own tangled web That was an example that gave me like wait, no, wait, what wait? No, no, you're dead. No. Yes Jump I guess. Yeah Oh, okay, I guess Sprint Here we go. Wait, what?   So you have to reset the chapter, right? I have to restart the whole chapter You did literally the exact same thing as me, but you eventually realize you have to jump up the thing, right?  Wait, why did you grab onto it this time? What what what? What is what? How did I get on this? How did this what I don't understand?    That's the clip you sent me yesterday. I'm sure I think this is like, ah cutscene What do I do? All right, let's do bad.   Wait a minute.  Come on. Is this the way to her? Is it bad wait here for a while? Why wait here for a while? We're just gonna feed him to she long see what He just cut him off. Oh no, he's still going What's happening?  We're kind of busy right now with a different cutscene dialogue What is happening?  Oh gee Wait what? Oh, I was supposed to move Restart level Oh, I guess we're the beginning is this chapter seven then this tunnel never ends.    I don't why would you put English? See now there's an English again Why is that dlc is a great question? Why don't we must talk to the king now?  I have to say like I'm actually kind of impressed that they that Thick when they like approached this Navy in dead with the five dollars is just remember this is all for gary to feel the pain later I really hope this is almost done for your sake. I think I'm just about start chapter seven.    Why is this here? No, I didn't I didn't buy the dlc. I don't know why they speak in elvish I didn't buy the dlc. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, sir No, sir re-bob No, it wasn't me.  It's like hey, so He's looking at me. It's like that's kind of weird.  He's like go away. I'm on my break Why I know why are the elves in a cave? Why are they in a cave? We could have had we could have we could have been in Rivendell. We could have been somewhere We could have had some beautiful elven architecture. Oh, no, no, we got these uh We got these assets for a cave And uh, we just like to reuse them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again Because you know diversity Oh, come on. What? Jesus I Little golem can't swim. Hey, that's only where this big fish is going Yeah That's way too small. Did you see how big that bone was? Never make a game again.  Thanks game.   Do I wait? Oh, I'm not listening. Do I wait? Nothing. Do I? I already forgot what she said Did somebody catch that? I was annoyed that I have to do a riddle. So I was not paying attention Yeah, you know that jump button that I pressed It'd be so cool if he actually jumped when I pressed that jump button This looks nice and peaceful. Let's just stay here with the mushrooms and have a party What was that?  Look, this actually looks pretty nice Don't look that nice. Trust me.   All right How did that happen? How did it even allow that to I'm gonna check behind in front of this curtain So then you would not mind if I had that creature It's such a joke and I need you to trust me Maybe I would if you try to check behind the curtain that would be ludicrous Who would be hiding behind the curtain?    I'm done. I'm done tonight. I'm done.   I am Done Um the way I just died there is actually really common as a as a death format and you'll find That a metal dies a lot that way, right? I guess as too, but so the way this game works, right? You can as you're crawling you can do a jump And now I like I grab on do you see this? This is this is important. We're learning here. Okay I can jump at any time And it'll grab But you can drop too See it's like yeah, okay When you reach an edge You can push up and then jump and it'll be like the the best form of it And so can you see how a player might think?   Oh, that's grabbable.  Absolutely just climb up dude.   Why What why Why That's how you do it. That's the way you wanted me to do it. Why? That's what he needs We can't We can't game we game We can't start like this. You know if he drowned It wouldn't be so bad I'm holding left right now. I just want you to know that it obviously matches the way golem is facing Not often how games do it just saying The thing only three people on earth will have completed this game me as Metal that that's it. See I I don't think I I I mentioned that enough yesterday.  We're not going to tell the player about this This is just there now.  Are we grabbing onto this like the other things and you just fall down It's like what What does that mean? It's like, oh, it's the wall jump. It's a wall jump mechanic And we just put it in there, but we never told anyone It's just we put it on there.   I wish you were enduring this and not me. I wish you were not me I wish it was you and not me. It's fine that the mechanics just randomly don't work. That's fine I don't know why you guys complain and it keeps the game spicy I'm going down Okay. Now I know what to do It's like Absolute trial and error. Oh, they put me a checkpoint here. That's nice of them Put a checkpoint up here.  Otherwise.   I must know Did you hear that? Why is there a question mark here and there's even a ledge to climb up. Why? It's broken.  This isn't this is one of those things that does get fixed by a reload, right?  It'll be faster Oh Wake up talk candidly now Again Yeah, that works. Are you sure thing game? Okay, I don't have to restart the chapter right Let's try main menu This this is the kind of broken you do dot one You want the kind of broken that's funny.  Okay, let's try rebooting the game There's no question mark I assume a cutscene supposed to play when you're going here I assume a cutscene supposed to play when you're going here. So, um, is that it? I have to restart chapter seven cutscenes supposed to play you have to restart Batman mode Oh, well that just cinches it doesn't it? Um, what? Let's just do it all fast Nothing works in this game.  Why are the other ones not doing anything? Like look at this Is he punching himself in the face? That was brilliant. Mr. Speed in the AIK with a 20 Swedish. This is the worst game ever not the year I I am the king saw right through him. I think there's a high possibility.    It's gone It got torn off.  It was just kind of craters underground Is that the sound of them all coming back in? Yeah, there you go. All the buildings are back everybody If only his AI could work I could then run him around Oh, she found me what I'm sorry When does this happen? How?  So easy I could have started streaming like an hour ago But I was procrastinating so hard because I just didn't want to I was watching me actually play and it's just like just boring stuff coming up I think I'm gonna have to burn the pc after this game I think I need I I don't think the pc I think it's it's too contaminated Hey Mola, this might be of assistance try pressing control alt delete and then click on lord of the rings golem And then end task mate. That might be it. Yeah. We'll have to see about that. Hello Well, that sounds like absolute pain Because I am currently just uh I need to probably look at all the stink lines to figure out Where exactly all of these are supposed to go oh one's correct As they don't some people until they play it they don't know, you know Until they play the game they don't know Oh one, that's right. Oh, all right. Oh, yeah, she'll for the feathers. Okay, so which one of these have I not done Oh knife, all right, they do it Done now. I mean she didn't seem to complain Riddle game I thought it was oh wait now I got an achievement one All right, I missed the thing whatever Bye What am I gonna do to celebrate after I finish the game?  I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm gonna get a starless night nice and dark so that you can't see me strangling her No, no faces nice starless night. Not a single piercing spark No stars That's not a good omen.     Yep, there we go It looked like he slipped on them Or whatever that was like headbutt in the floor What's really funny about it is it refreshes my health?

How can less people have completed chapter nine than chapter 10?  It's it's getting thrown away Gary's never mind Gary finishing the game. That's never gonna happen.  I remember this part. You're gonna show what happens next


As indicated in a press statement on September 2, 2021, the Ministry of Commerce Manufacturing Business Development Cooperatives and Consumer Affairs reminds the public that due to the global shipping delays brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, supplies of brown and refined sugar into the island have been adversely affected. As such, the current supplies have been managed to allow for even distribution to all consumers. The Ministry has received several reports of some businesses selling a pound of brown sugar above the legislated price. The Ministry takes this opportunity to remind businesses that the retail price of one pound of brown sugar is $1 and the retail price of one pound of refined sugar is $1.10. The Ministry wishes to inform the general public that sugar is a price control item and should never be sold above the legislated price. In fact, Section 57, Subsection 1 of the Distribution and Price of Woods Act, Cap 1309, clearly states that anyone who sells above the legislated price commits an offence and is liable on semi-conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000 or to imprisonment or a tomb not exceeding one year or both. Consumers are encouraged to be extremely vigilant and report to the Consumer Affairs Department any business which is engaged in selling above the legislated price. The Consumer Affairs Department can be contacted at telephone numbers 468-4224 or 468-4231. Our operating hours are between 8 am to 4.30 pm. The email address is consumeraffairs.commerce.govt.lc. The Ministry is appealing to retailers to continue to manage the sale of sugar to discourage panic buying.


And that's why we're here. We're results-oriented people. So Scott, welcome to the UR Lawyer podcast. Thanks for having me, Kyla. Oh, of course. So you have a great background, lots of experience. Would you share some of your experience in education with the audience? Sure. Yeah. Wisconsin, born and raised, went to the University of Wisconsin. I'm a proud badger. I attended law school here in sunny Southern California at the University of San Diego, Go Terraro's, for the few of us out there. And then I've been practicing for the last 20 years. This is actually the 20th anniversary of my bar passage. So two decades in this space and couldn't be happier. Yeah, that's really exciting. So have you always been practicing the same type of law for the entire 20 years? I've done a bunch of different things over the course of my career, but there is a consistent thread throughout my career of doing probate litigation. Okay. So Scott, you mentioned being from Wisconsin and now you live in California. Did you take the Wisconsin bar as well as the California bar or only California? Only California. So no plans to ever go back to Wisconsin or what? It's a great place to visit, but they are having a blizzard as we speak. So I came out here chasing sunshine and didn't look back those 25 years ago, I think. And it's a great place to grow up. The summers are gorgeous. The people are lovely, but it's cold for a large swath of the year. So I am in Ohio, so I am pro-code. Very pro-code. My fiance is also from Ohio, so I've spent time in the Holy Land. As a badger, I am not a Buckeye fan, sorry for any of your listeners who might be many, but generally, I'll support the big time. Okay. Well, I have a pretty good split because I went to law school in Louisiana, so I appreciate and I'll see you soon and everything. Okay. So I love talking to probate attorneys or litigators because they're always like, probate will touch everyone at some point in their life, right? Very true. Do you have that same view of it and what is it that you enjoy about probate litigation? I do have that same view. It is something that touches every family in some way, shape or form, whether it's a parent, a grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister. And what I love about it is you have the opportunity to help people. You truly have an opportunity to find people who are scared, mourning the loss of someone they care about deeply and you get to help them through a very difficult time in their lives and leave them in a better place than you found them. And you can't say that about every practice area.   If you die with a will, there's also an entire probate process, right?  That's it, right? Everything is done. How could you be a visionary in that space? Like how can you change that process? Great question. And I think there is a lot of confusion about it out in the consumer marketplace because we'll get people who call and they'll say, you know, my brother's the executor of the trust or, you know, I'm the trustee of the will. And obviously, those things are incorrect. You have an executor of a will and you have a trustee of a trust, but people use them interchangeably because they don't necessarily understand how they work. And I think if you go back historically and look at the use and utilization of wills and trusts in this country, you're only going back 20, 30 years, right? Really where our system transitioned from a pension-based retirement plan to a 401k IRA privately funded retirement system. And with that came the proliferation of planning, wills, trusts, etc. So it's a relatively newer concept. And so people aren't really that familiar, although they're becoming more and more familiar every day, frankly. And so, you know, talking through what a probate is without a will, that is what is known as an intestate probate proceeding. It's intestate because there is no will. There's no document to guide the court, in which case you simply rely on each state's intestacy laws, what the probate code in that state says is going to happen with the assets. And you follow that process through the probate court. Similarly, with a will, it follows the same process, except you have a will that is going to dictate who is in charge, who is going to administer the estate and what's going to happen with the assets, as long as it's covered in that will. And then separately, you have a trust, which is essentially a private administration. So you don't have to go through the probate court process. You don't have to go through that public process. It can all happen privately and be administered cleanly, cost effectively by whomever is appointed as the trustee or trustees. Somewhere in the middle, because I know there are some jurisdictions out there like Texas where they say you don't need a trust because they have expedited probate proceedings where it's not going to be super lengthy and it's not going to be super costly. And so you don't see the proliferation in the use of trusts in those jurisdictions like you do in jurisdictions like California, where most of the planning includes a will and the will simply pours any assets that are not already in the trust into the trust. And then the trustee administers the trust and distributes the assets according to the distributive provisions of that trust. So if they're all intertwined and then the questions about what about the power of attorney and an advanced healthcare directive and all those other things, but those are really pre-death as opposed to post-death. Yeah. So you gave a lot of really good examples in different states and different jurisdictions. Do you deal with probate issues in different states or do you just remember all of this from law school and studying for the bar exam? No, we have offices in Florida, Texas, Kansas, Missouri and California and we have relationships with firms in pretty much every other state in the country. Because this is all we do and if it's something that we can't do because we're not licensed in the state, we still want to be able to help people. That's our number one core value is lead with empathy and we define that as we're here to help people. So even if it's not us, we always try to help people find the next best thing, at least until we're in those markets. Understandable. So which office is the home base? Is it California? Los Angeles is the home office. Okay. All right, very cool. Is there any jurisdiction that is especially difficult with probate practicing and estate planning? They all have their nuances. That's a lawyer answer. I love it. That's like, it depends. It does. It does depend on what you're trying to do and how you're trying to do it. And I guess the people on the East Coast would say, eek to a California administration. People in Texas say, why do you need a trust? We out here say, why don't you have a trust? Just do it all privately. You don't need the court at all. And it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. The estate planning community is always trying to thread the smallest needle with sometimes the biggest thread. And it's difficult, especially as mobile as we are as a society. And we saw a lot of that over the last several years with the pandemic where people were moving out of urban areas, moving to places where they had more space, places where their kids could go to school, etc. So you've seen a lot of mobility and you're seeing it again now where people are starting to come back. So it really depends. Okay. So I know you can't give legal advice because you're not my lawyer. You're not the lawyer for anybody that's listening. But would you give one example of the benefit of having a trust even as a young person? And I say that because when I hear trust, I think I need to be extremely wealthy and have all of this stuff to pass on. So I guess the better question is, is that a myth? And would you give an example of why someone, why anyone could really have a trust? The simplest answer to that, Kylie, and I think it's a great question. And it really comes down to this. And I've been having this discussion for the last couple of decades with clients, with referral sources, people in the community. It really boils down to do you want the most cost-effective, efficient manner of administering your affairs after you're gone. Is that the legacy you want to leave for your family? Because if not, then leave them with a probate, right? Leave them without a will, right? Force them to go to court for a year, a year and a half, two years and have them scratch their head and say, I thought mom or dad really had their stuff together. And I guess they didn't, right? Why are we having to do this? My dad, my mom, they always had everything so buttoned up and I don't understand why they left it like this. And the cost to do a standard estate plan, including a trust, is relatively affordable when you weigh the cost of going to probate court, doing those filings, doing the administration through the court, even if it's an expedited proceeding in some of the other jurisdictions, you're still having to go through that process as opposed to what can be a private process, can be done without court supervision at all, and it can be really efficient. Yeah. So just to piggyback on that, for everyone that's listening, if you want a trust, if you're curious, what is this about, please do some research and look into it, right? My husband and I looked into it for a daughter, she's just two, but I was like, I don't want there to be this big jumble, right? And also I'm a rebel. I was one of the people who got life insurance and they were like, you don't have kids, you don't have a spouse, why do you have life insurance? Because I don't want someone to have to deal with the bill, if anything happens to me, right? So if you're listening and you're curious about trust, probate planning, please look into it and also look at Scott's website. We'll make sure we link all of that stuff in the description if you're in one of the states where they're offering services, okay? That's great. Yeah, we try to do a lot of educational videos and things like that. They're all on the website, so. Okay, great. So everyone a quick break for me to just say, if you are watching right now, thank you for participating with you are a lawyer on YouTube. If you're not watching, why not? Finish listening to the podcast episode and then go to YouTube and take a look. We are talking about estate planning and probates here on the you are a lawyer podcast with Scott, Ron, okay? So Scott, let's get into your background. Did you plan on practicing this type of law when you were in law school? I think the short answer Kyla is no. Okay. I think I thought in law school that I wanted to be a corporate transactional lawyer, an M&A lawyer. I didn't think I wanted to be a litigator. I think litigators had a certain reputation for being, frankly, being just difficult people. And that wasn't me, that wasn't who I wanted to be. But I had the good fortune at my first firm of being raised as a young lawyer and mentor to come to appreciate that you could be you. And you didn't have to be one of those difficult personalities.  We'll say, so you want it to cost twice as much and take twice as long. And they'll say, no, no, no, no, I don't want that. And I say, no, what you want is a good result and you want it sooner for less legal spend. And they say, yeah, yeah, that's what I want. Because the reality is, is if you're if you're difficult, people don't want to deal with you, right? And then it ends up where everything's a letter writing campaign, right? Everything has to be negotiated. Everything has to be fought over. And it's simply a waste of everyone's time and money.    Absolutely. One of the things I love that you mentioned was, do you want the pit bull or the shark? Because a lot of times new lawyers are called baby sharks.  You want to go to court, you want to fight it out with someone. And it's like, it doesn't have to be that way. Litigation does not have to be adversarial, even though you are on opposite sides of the table, right? Yes. Oftentimes we'll work with, again, if it's an experienced lawyer who knows what they're doing on the other side, we'll very quickly come to what we can agree upon and what we can agree upon and what we cannot agree upon. Those are the issues that we'll fight over. But again, you don't have to be aggressive. There's this snowmer in the consumer world that aggression equals success. And it simply doesn't. Being strategic, being tactical, being thoughtful, and executing equals success. But that's not aggression. We have one of our other core values here, Kyla, is what we call zealous efficacy, which is a play on the well-known legalism that is zealous advocacy. And we spun it to zealous efficacy because what we've seen over the course of the past several decades is lawyers who are advocating for their client, not necessarily advocating for the best interest of their client.  And that's why we're here. We're results-oriented people. We're a results-oriented firm. And that's what we want to do. We want to be zealously efficacious for you. We don't just want to advocate for you, just to advocate. Yeah. And so that sounds so simple, right? Zealous efficacy. But I can imagine that is very beneficial when it comes to probate matters because they are very emotional matters. Really dramatic. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. So Scott, when you're in law school, the big thing is do you want to do transactional work, which is corporate law dealing with papers? Or do you want to be a litigator, which could be, you know, probate litigation, typically it's criminal litigation, being a prosecutor, things like that, which is going to court. So did you have any experience in your kind of mock trial litigation type things? Or did you avoid all of that in law school because you were planning to do transactional work? So I had an opportunity to clerk at a couple of different firms in law school. So I got exposed to some transactional, some litigation, but it was really when I got my first law firm job out of law school that I got exposed to litigators who showed me that it was okay to be a good person, that it was okay to be strategic and tactical. And in fact, that's really what we're duty bound to do, right? We're not duty bound to pound on the table, right, or yell and scream. Some people unfortunately never learned that. So it was really that experience.  So I got to see both practice areas at the same time. And what I found was that I really enjoyed the chess match, the strategy that is litigation, not that transactional work isn't problem solving it is. Estate planning is problem solving, but it's just a different skill set. And I came to learn that my skill set lies in the courtroom, in problem solving in this space as opposed to problem solving in that space. Yeah. So would you describe a typical day as a probate litigator? Because to me, I just can't even imagine. Are you guys just arguing about a will, a lack of will, or do you get to litigation even if there's a trust or what's a typical day like for you? Sure. Most of our days are filled with time spent with clients and interviewing witnesses and estate planners and trying to find out what transpired. We're investigators, we're trying to figure out what happened with mom, dad, grandma, grandma, aunts, uncles, estate. Why are the documents that we're looking at the final set of documents? Why are those bona fide? Or why are they not? Were they constructed and executed at a time when they had capacity? Were they executed at a time like in one of our cases when auntie was suffering or had suffered a catastrophic stroke that left her in a permanent vegetative state? We spend most of our day doing fact investigation and then taking those facts, applying those facts to the probate laws to advance our client's position, whether that's helping the court to understand and help the other side to understand that the documents not valid for undue influence or incapacity, fraud, etc., or helping the court on the other side to understand that, no, this is what they wanted. This is how we know they wanted it. It's a consistent pattern of planning. They use the same estate planner. They had a relationship with this person for 20 years and really helping to paint that picture. I've come to relate probate litigation to impressionist paintings over the past several decades because it's really rarely other than the case I told you about where the aunt was in a permanent vegetative state where she very clearly couldn't have signed anything or consented. It's really a million little brush strokes that create the picture that the court's going to see. It's our job to go out and gather those paints, pick up those brushes, and be able to paint that picture of what the case should look like and the picture that the judge should see. So I love this. This is one of the best explanations of probate planning that I've heard in a very long time because I remember being in law school and you learned there could be duress, there could be a new influence, was there issue of capacity, but I have never seen the other side and where you would be investigating to say there wasn't duress, there wasn't undue influence and that's why this will is valid. Correct. So I think this is really great and for everyone that's listening if you are a law student please pay attention to family law. In Louisiana we had a course called Successions and that was where we learned wills and estates. So if you're still in school please pay attention to this because it will affect you. If you are a practicing lawyer and you're thinking wow that sounds interesting, consider this. I've never heard probate planning and probate litigation described this way and I think you're humanizing the practice, right? You're not just trying to get a portion of the estate when everything is cleared. You're actually trying to make sure that the wishes of the family are carried on and I think that's great. Yeah we're here to help families protect the legacy that was intended and it is it's a very human practice area. I think I'm obviously biased being in this practice area but I think it's the best, most rewarding area for the reasons I started talking about when we started the podcast which is you get to help people and you get to take some very difficult emotional issues and do the diligence to figure out whether those issues are real issues or whether they're feelings and if their feelings help your client work through those but also help them understand that the facts simply don't substantiate those things. Either way you're going to help your client get to a place not only financially, legally, but emotionally where they can move on with their lives and focus on the rest of their life which is really what their legacy should be. Yeah absolutely and I believe that I can hear the sincerity coming across from you. So Scott is there anything else that you would like to share with the audience about the type of law that you practice or how you've enjoyed it for 20 years? All I can say is that this is a really wonderful area to practice in. I feel blessed every day to be able to help the good people that we work with whether they're beneficiaries, heirs of a will or trust, or the fiduciaries, the trustees, the executors, the administrators, the professional fiduciaries we work with, the institutional fiduciaries that we work with. Everybody in this space is really genuinely trying to get to a place where we can figure out what legacy our loved one intended and then how to implement that in the fairest possible way and put people in a place again where they can go on living their lives. So if anybody has any interest or questions in this area, I absolutely geek out on it and I'm happy to talk about it because I think it's really powerful. I think it's a really human space and I'm always happy to jump in and consult, advise, and we do a lot of that, frankly, nationally and internationally. So I was happy to have a conversation about this stuff. I love it. Absolutely. And I will make sure that I link all of Scott's information, any of the firm's information and social media pages in the show description notes as well as the YouTube notes so that you can reach out, learn about this exciting and really interesting area of law and find out more about Scott. I appreciate your time and thank you for being a guest with you, our lawyer. Thanks again. Pleasure to meet you. All right. Bye.


As it tastes like meat, don't worry me. Because we don't want to torture the animals. This doesn't have an animal in there. Don't eat meat? Yeah, exactly, yeah. This is wheat meat. You know what happens to the little chicks in the egg industry? They go into the blender. Free-range eggs, no better as well. I can't eat blood products. I want to be close to gold. All right, so here we are outside of a random hotel in Manchester, and we've just got an amazing delivery, and we're going to show you what it is. All right, so in here, we've got a bunch of these no turkey roast crown roasts. These are from Wicked Kitchen. These are actually the ones that, oh, they've got this crust on the top. Now I was going to buy a bunch of these, but my friend Derek Sarno from Wicked Kitchen has given us these, donated them, so thank you so much, Derek. Beautiful person you are. I ate meat for 26 years, and they're f***ing really good. And we're going to show you what we're going to do these. We're going to take these out to Manchester and do something really kind for Christmas with them. Let's do it.  These turkeys are made of plants. They didn't scream and die in the slaughterhouse, so that's good. All right, here we are in the lovely city of Manchester. We've got about 15 pallet loads of no turkey crown roasts. Courtesy of Wicked Kitchen. Thank you so much, Derek Sarno. We're out here trying to help the turkeys for Christmas. So many turkeys are killed at Christmas time. We're going to give these out for free and give people different options other than eating the bodies of slaughtered animals. So let's do it. Hello, my friend. Would you like to take a vegan turkey? Oh, thank you. Are you sure? Vegan turkey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did you make that? This is made of wheat protein. They take the protein, it's wheat's meat. No turkeys killed. It's much better. This is very old school. He's just like, what, a vegan turkey? What's that? It does trip people out hearing that for the first time, I can imagine.  It's a hard question. You don't actually, because whenever I ask them and they're like, oh God, I do, but I don't want to say that I do, but I feel bad right now. I just want to give people a different option instead of hurting the birds. And these are really good. That's why I'm giving them out too, because I tried them. I really like it myself. And I ate meat for like 26 years. Do you like to take one for your family as well? This here, if you want to scan this, it'll show you what all the vegan stuff is for Christmas. Here you go, my brother. Thank you. We don't want people harming the turkeys, so this is turkey free. Basically, we don't want people harming the turkeys. They've got gas chambered factory farmed here. This is a farm that I was in here. And this is a little Christmas guide. So you scan that, and you can find all the vegan Christmas stuff. And you can take that and roast it up. See what you think. This is a little vegan guide. Okay. Say, Gag, Merry Christmas. Ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho, the vegan Santa Claus is here. This is our farm I was in last year, actually. Here in the UK, just birds pecking each other. This is actually a red tractor approved farm. So it's a high welfare place, and they're disgusting. And this is a vegan turkey. Christmas guide for you. Thank you. This is a turkey, but there's no turkey. This is vegan. You know what vegan is? Yeah. Yeah, it's good. Here you go. This is a little Christmas guide. Because this is the turkey industry in the UK. Disgusting. Horrible animal cruelty. Yeah, yeah. Do you want to take one too? Thank you. Come on, brother. What's up?  You do eat the hoods. This is bird free. No birds were harmed. This is how to live without harming animals. Hello, how are you?   You do a vegetarian? Yeah. Okay, so. You're not vegan. All right, so we have to talk then. We're a little while. Do you know about the dairy and egg industries? Yeah. Do you know what happens to the cows? Yes. What happens to them? Tell me. Teach me. They get killed, don't they? Yeah. And their calves get taken and killed. Yeah. So you know that? You do know that? Yes. But luckily, you've got like really good options for your plant milks, vegan cheeses, vegan yogurts. So, and the egg industry, you know what happens to the little chicks in the egg industry? They go into the blender? Oh, no. Yeah. Because the males don't lay eggs so they dispose of them on their first day of life, so.  But here you go. This is, no turkeys were harmed, so you can feel really good about eating that. It was great, though. Yeah. No worries, happy Christmas. Hello. Hello.  Yeah.  Oh, no. You don't eat meat? Yeah, I don't eat beef. You don't eat beef? Yeah.  Yeah. So this is the turkey industry.  Pork? Pork. Pork.  Yeah. This is a gas chamber. Do you explain gas chamber? This is how the pigs are killed here. Yeah. Violence. How do you say, is she speaking English? Your mum speaking English? No, she doesn't speak English. How do you explain it's cruelty to animals to her? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. This is me. This is Tinsel Turkey. Explain to her that this is a turkey with a vegan turkey with no animals, okay? And this is it. If you're scared of this, you can find more vegan food for Christmas. Okay? Have a good Christmas. Take care. Bye bye. Hey guys. How are you? Good, thank you.  I'm vegan. She doesn't either. You do? See, I get this dynamic a lot where like, a boyfriend's like, no, I'm like, oh, I just got to keep eating meat and the girlfriend's like vegan. So has she grilled you yet about? Yeah, she's, I've started like, hearing quite a few more alternatives, but I still, You still eat it? Yeah. I suppose like, with men particularly, because I was a pretty much a dude back in the days.  But then like, what I thought about was that like, animals are innocent and they didn't do anything wrong to me. So why am I deliberately harming them? You know what I mean? Cause like, if there's a little kid getting harmed, like it's pretty much related to like, or like manly to defend that kid. If say there's people who are weaker there and you're the only one who could, you would step in and defend the kid. All right.  So that's the way I think about it, but I don't know if you've ever thought of it like that. Yeah. Thank you. I'm actually going to give one just specifically for you as well. All right. And let's see if you scan that with your phone. All the supermarkets will show you where all the Christmas stuff is. All the Christmassy stuff. Yeah. You got to do Veganuary, bros. Veganuary, come on. Give it out these vegan turkeys. Cause, how do you know you had never even tried it, bro? It tastes exactly like meat, bro. Have you got Turca? Because it's supposed to. It tastes like meat. Because we don't want to torture the animals and this doesn't have an animal in there. Don't eat meat? Yeah, exactly, yeah. This is wheat meat. This is for you. But we don't care as long as it doesn't have an animal. What would I care? Yes, so don't call it Turca. It's ethically fine. So what's it called then? It's no turkey. Yes, so what wave you got it's from? It's no turkey. Yeah, but where have you got it from? Where have I got this from? So you haven't got it from a Turca? So you've not got it from a Turca? What's a Turca? A Turca. So you've got one from a Turca? No, this is not a Turca. Yeah, but where have you got it from? It's from wheat protein. So call it wheat protein. Right here? Yeah, but call it no Turca. But it's no turkey. It is no turkey. There's no turkey in there. Don't call it turkey. I said it's called no turkey. So it's not actually a turkey. These are vegan. We don't want to hurt the turkeys. So this is the turkeys they've been slaughtered and killed and this is my turkey friend here. We want to be kind to the turkeys. We don't want to harm them. I don't know if you guys eat any animal products, but we're promoting being vegan. Right, okay. No, that's fine. To not hurt the animals. Thank you. You can both take one. Have a good Christmas. Scan this if you want to find some good vegan food. How many have we given out? Here's the give out meter here. Boom. We've got more to give out. I think there's like nearly 100 here. So we've got to pump them out. Are you a vegan? She's on her way, yeah. And why not you? I'm trying to persuade them. I'm on the way. You don't care about animals? Do you care about animal cruelty? You do? Let me see. Show me yours.  They're a little blunt.   Hello, how are you? We're handing out free vegan food for Christmas to stop people from killing the animals. Killing the animals, yeah. You don't like it, no? Yeah, of course. A lot of people don't, but that's really good. Yeah, it's disgusting what they do to the animals and that's why I'm here. I'm not trying to sell you anything. I'm actually just giving. Yeah, I've been in free range farms that are just as disgusting as the cage farms. Yeah, they market it really well to you, though. You can. Vegan. I mean, with the eggs.  So egg industry is just as bad as the meat industry, sometimes worse, but here, take this. Oh, thank you. No turkey's harmed. Is that how I got one of these? Yeah, of course, one sec. Let me talk to you. Here's a little help going vegan, all free, a little guide here. And if you're really thinking about it, you should make the decision and just do it because the animals need all the help they can get, you know, and when you go to the store and you pay for that stuff, you're donating your money to the cruelty. It doesn't exist without you. So, have a good Christmas. Bless you. How are you going? Do you use to eat meat?  Yeah, I love it.  No, I do, but I'm trying to. So, well, you're curious, aren't you? Because you're watching my videos. Wow. And what about you? I do eat meat, but I want to do like a few days a week where I've come over there. You don't eat meat? That's a good start. I like it. I like it. Obviously, the other days, you're torturing and murdering the animals, though. So, you know, but I try to, I don't ever pay for things like this. Now, but I got to that point because I made a decision in my head about not wanting to support that cruelty. You know what I mean? But yeah, that's why I'm here. That's why I'm handing these out because I just try my best to persuade people who, like you, who are on the fence, who actually do care a bit, because a lot of people just don't care and no point in talking to them. Yeah. Thank you very much. This is a little guide. So, free help going vegan. This is a little find Christmas food. Vegan Christmas food. Yeah. There you go. You're not a vegan either. So, you're eating less meat and you're trying to do a couple of days without it. Sisters vegan, actually. So, you can get all the, you can get your help. Obviously, seeing things like this, because I've been in all these farms, I've been in over a dozen farms in the UK. They all disgust me. They make me stick to my stomach. They stink of feces and corpses because they rot in there. The dead animals have been in free range places. They're torturing all these animals and they're marketing it to you as humane and free range and all this stuff. They're tricking people, good people, who think, oh yeah, I'll get the free range stuff and it's a load of crap.  They're mass breeding them and torturing them and killing them and that's a cold hard fact. They don't advertise this stuff to you, which is why we have to. This is the egg industry. De-beaking happens in the meat industry as well. I think this is a free range farm. But yeah, they're no better. Like, often worse. Free range eggs often worse. Suffering. This is what happens when they have laid egg after egg after egg. They're laying an egg a day, which is way more than natural, usually eight layer and egg a month. So they lay egg after egg after 10 months, they just, there's nothing left of them. The feathers drop off, they start dying on their faces. Horrible, most horrible thing I've ever seen is these free range farms where they just get to this point of laying where, then you know what they do to them? They don't take them for vet care. They gas them to death and they feed them to people.  Every single dairy cow. That's what's in chicken, look at that. Spent egg layers. Yeah, yeah, egg layers particularly. The broilers will go to like chicken meat.  Every dairy cow, every egg layer, every animal in the industry will all get slaughtered at a slaughterhouse and some will end up eating them or wearing them. Good to meet you. I'm really pleased I've met you because I've watched you. Oh really? Have a vegan Christmas then. All right, take care. Peace my friend. Let me put some more on the table and hook you up. Do you know what we're? Don't explain too much. I can't eat blood products. I want to be close to God. Close to God? Yes, that's the only way. Yeah.  That shall not kill. No blood products. Bless you. No egg. Hello. Do you want a free vegan turkey? Do you want to take home? Yeah, because the catch is we don't want people harming the animals by buying turkey. No, I'm vegetarian anyway. Oh really? Yeah.  Yes, I do. Yeah, yeah. Just to step too far for me. No, I know. That's the egg industry. No, I know, I know. Right, so here you go. Take this. Do you have any meat-eating friends you want to share it with? Yes, I do actually. You can say, here I've got a vegan turkey for you to try. Maybe you don't tell them. See what they think. So I started eating meat again. Yeah, but I know that they, the majority of them like mint. Okay. The corn mint. The corn mint, yeah. Because that's vegan now, isn't it? Is it? I'm not sure if the corn ones, yeah. Because you used to use eggshells. Eggs in them, yeah. This is the egg industry. Disgusting. No, no. I agree. I think the worst one is veal. I think the veal industry is disgusting. Yeah, I agree. They're all bad. I was interested to know if she's against the veal industry, if she's a vegetarian. She walked off before I could say anything, but it just clicked. If you're against the veal industry, you wouldn't be vegetarian because dairy industry and the veal industry intrinsically connected. Like the veal industry wouldn't exist without the dairy industry. Do you use eat meat? No. No, you don't eat meat? Yeah, I do. You do it? I want to try this. Oh, that's, well. I always try free range. I don't do. Hello. These are free. Free range turkeys, free range birds are still slaughtered, scorched. I don't want to try. And also the dairy, this is the egg industry.  Free range eggs, no better as well. That's my favourite crab. They colour these birds. They'll gas all these birds for the eggs and dairy. And dairy cows are all slaughtered too. Do a vegan challenge on here. It's free. If you scan this, you'll scan it with your phone, just click the link and it'll have all the places you can buy your vegan Christmas stuff. It'll also have a link to challenge 22. And that'll help you go vegan for free. Okay? Because you've got a big heart. I know, I'll try. Do it for them, not for me. Do it for them, the animals. I'll try. We don't want to try, we want it to just be vegan and let's all pretty easy make a decision and then do it. It's not that hard. It might seem hard at the start, but challenge 22, link down below, help you out. I'm just saying my mate is vegan. Yeah, that's good. Right? But I've seen these forecasts before. It's horrible, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Yeah.  Yeah, so what a chicken do you think is okay to eat? I don't know, I don't like eating.  Yeah, yeah, well, these are vegan. Yeah, of course. So you can take these. Yeah, I'll take another one and them for me. I want to give him one and I want to eat some. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all right. I want to say put it in the oven and it'll be roasted up with some gravy on there. Amazing. It's really good, man. But if you don't want to eat the animals, just start eating vegan. That's what I'm saying, that you don't know what they're doing to you. They'll market this to you as this is a red tractor approved farm. They'll say this is good welfare.  They're culling this bird here. Culling this bird. So they're snapping their necks. They're culling them in the farm. So, yeah, they're just sick, it's sick. This is England. What don't you do in other countries? They do the same in other countries. They're just as bad. Like, I've seen it from all around the world. They're all bad. This is England too. This turkey was pecked to death because in the turkey farms, they're just, they're confined. Yeah, you're not going to. You start looking and it's not going to be sick. Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah. It's not food. And that's what I don't like. They're poor fish as well. Yeah, they feel pain. They suffer. But of course you do. I felt I did. I mean, it's terrible. You know, dolphins and things like that. Yeah. They're f***ing catching them in these nets and all that. Yeah, they're fishing nets. It's called bycatch. See, there's a seal there called in bycatch. And you know what?  No. That's why I don't eat fish. I don't eat fish.  No. I'm completely vegan. No animal products, no dairy, eggs. I'm not nail-siling to all that. That's what I'm saying. I'm going to give you one of these. But I'm going to tell them about, well, he knows all about this. But it's you who needs to know. He's not about me getting into it. You should, mate. And it's better for the ticker. It's better for your health.  He tells me that. It's actually really refreshing to see a man older gentleman like him be really interested in veganism and his mates are vegan. And he's like, you know, I really don't like what happens to the animals and particularly fish he didn't like, which was really refreshing to hear because a lot of people just think of fish as like swimming vegetables. That don't matter. But he was particularly moved by the fish. And I really think that he would at least stop eating the animals, if not go completely vegan because he was just really interested and really moved by this. And yeah, he's got a friend that will help him along the way. So it's usually the younger generations who take the lead, but the older generations are really starting to change and think about this as well, which is really good. They're smashing the piglets on the ground because they're sick and the farmer doesn't want them. So they kill them, cull them. They're actually artificially inseminating them. Yeah. They're artificially inseminating because they can't, they're too big to breed. So basically what you're seeing is the whole cycle of a turkey. They clip their, sear their beaks off so they don't peck each other to death in the sheds but they still ended up doing it. But this is trying to mitigate the pecking injuries they have.

It took just nine months for the top 1,000 billionaires' fortunes to return to the pre-pandemic highs. But for the world's poorest people, recovery could take 14 times longer, more than a decade. The increase in the 10 richest billionaires' wealth since the crisis began is more than enough to prevent anyone on earth from falling into poverty because of the virus and to pay for a COVID-19 vaccine for everyone. Globally, women are overrepresented in the sectors of the economy that are hardest hit by the pandemic. If women were represented at the same rate as men in those sectors, 112 million women would no longer be at high risk of losing their incomes or jobs.  If the death rate had been the same as white people since as of December 2020, close to 22,000 Latinx and Black people would still have been alive. Here are some of the other findings of the report. The coronavirus pandemic struck a world that is already deeply unequal, a world with over 3 billion people without access to healthcare, with three quarters of workers do not have access to social protection like unemployment, benefits or sick pay and in lower and lower middle income countries, over half of workers were in working poverty. The world's richest quickly recovered from the economic crisis created by the pandemic. Between 18th March through 31st December 2020, the wealth of billionaires worldwide increased by $3.9 trillion. The wealth of the world's 10 richest billionaires collectively increased by $540 billion over this period. In September 2020, Jeff Bezos could have paid all 876,000 Amazon employees a bonus worth $105,000 and still be as wealthy as he was before the pandemic. When commercial travel was banned, the sales of private jets soared worldwide. The picture on the other end is different. The report says that according to estimates, the total number of people living in poverty could have increased by between $200 million and $500 million in 2020. This number may not return to pre-pandemic levels for over a decade. The report surveyed economists from 79 countries, most of whom said income inequality in their country was going to increase as a result of the pandemic. A majority of them also felt that gender inequality and racial inequality will increase. The report calls for an end to neoliberal and austerity policies. It calls for policies to end inequality. It calls for universal public services. It calls for a people's vaccine which is openly accessible. It calls for income and job security and labour rights. It calls for a system of progressive taxation where the world's rich pay their fair share of taxes. It calls for climate safety systems. The report calls on governments to create a more equal and sustainable world with a more equal human economy.


Happy Sunday! Welcome to VC Ski Fitness. I'm Vivian Fonseca and I'm Cara Brown. So today, guys and girls, everyone, today we'll be talking, we'll be training about eccentric strength. So what it is, like what is this? Eccentric strength is the most important strength for you to get better controlling your ski, better movement, you have more precision when you are skiing, okay? Eccentric strength is when you have to hold back the resistance, okay? So basically it works this way. You have to contract the eccentric strength when you are coming back, okay? So these strengths here adjust all your movement for your not collapse, for you to have more precision, be more precise when you're skiing, okay? So today basically all this exercise you'll be for this strength, this training today. You can have more exercise in our platform VC Ski Fitness. So today will be just a little example, a little piece, but we can offer you when you do our exercise in our platform. So let's go for it. One thing is very important before we start it is everyone take a chair like this one, okay? Something safe. Why? If you don't have a safe chair, when you'll be sitting, standing up, you can collapse on the floor, you'll be a disaster. We don't want this, right? Yeah, we don't, we don't want injuries, we want to prevent injuries. So other thing is important, you can have a mat if you want for always stretching in the end, okay? But most of exercise will be standing, it will be up, not down. So other thing is important about if you want to wear your trainers, your trainers, fine. If you want to just a barefoot, fine, okay? So let's go for action and let's do it. What do you think, Kara? Yeah, that sounds good. So just saying you guys can have a little bit of an idea of why we're doing this and how it relates to skiing. Yeah, eccentric strength, super important when it comes to skiing. Why is that? Well, if you can imagine you're coming into your turn, what does your body do?   So what eccentric strength is, is it's that point of sinking down into your turn at the beginning. And your eccentric strength is stopping as you sink down, it's stopping the forces squishing you all the way down here. Because if you're all the way down here, there's no way you can push out at the end of the turn and create that power as you move out your turn. And if you're, so your muscles really to squish you down if there's no eccentric strength there, or actually your body sort of reflex mechanism will kick in and it won't allow you to sink down at all. So you'll just remain on really straight legs. And it's the same issue as you come to the end of the turn, if your leg is already straight, you can't push off that leg to move forward to the next turn. So that is why your eccentric strength is so vital in skiing. Okay Vivian, let's warm up. Okay, so let's go for action. So let's start our Sunday with a lot of energy, warm up our body to go for the exercise. Okay, so everybody stand up. If you didn't grab your chair, it's opportunity to grab now your chair. Okay, put on your side and let's go for our warm-up. As I was explaining before the first workout, it's not necessary be stretching like crazy, this way you have just warm up your body. How? Use like little movements, move softly, gently, and then we go for action. Okay, and three and two and one. Let's go, side to side, just nice and smooth. And side to side, pay attention to your joints, pay attention to your feet on the floor, just move. Start to increase your body temperature and five and four and three and two and one. Lift your arms up, big, big stretching, move your legs side to side, deep breath, back down, again up, down. Now everybody turn facing that way, step back, step back, step back. It's not lunges, just step back. Five and four, lift your arms up and three and two and one. Stop here, move your ankle in and out, rotation. If you can't see me or I'm here now, in and out, other side, in and out, perfect. Okay, other side, in and out, rotate opposite side, in and out. And the leg here, step back. One and two, move your arms up and three and four and five and six and seven and eight and nine and ten. Okay, so a little bit jogging. Let's warm up our muscles because today we'll be a little bit tough. Aha, a little bit jogging. Five, four, three, two, one. Stop.  Okay, big, big stretch and relax. Okay, ready? The first exercise for our eccentric strength, easy. Grab your chair, rotation. Ascent, as I was explained to you before and we are coming back with the resistance. Remember, you contract this when you're coming back is the eccentric. So basically what you have to do, you have to stay with legs apart, attention. I know I have different levels of fitness here, strength. So let's try to do two different ways for beginners and advanced sets. Okay, so everybody together, the first one, heels on the floor, like really press your heels against the floor, you have to stand up. Okay, one leg up and sit down. Again, I know it's hard. One more time. Stand up, one leg up and sit down. Attention here, two things you have to pay attention. Pressure on your heel when you are standing up, when you're coming back. Okay, if you put pressure on your toes, you don't activate your glutes, you don't activate your core and then you collapse on the chair. Again, stand up, the same leg up, heel, glutes, engage your core, down. Two more, stand up, one leg up and go slowly. Last one, stand up, up, and back slowly. Okay, if you are very, very like hard, super strong, if you have your fitness level is super like higher, you have like a lot of tone, you can do this way, okay? One level harder. You can stand up, one leg, whoops, and back slowly again. Attention for most of us, both legs, stand up, keep the same leg up, whoops, and back slowly. Okay, I defense it, one leg up and back slowly. First, two legs again, up, and slowly, whoo, two, up. Are you suffering, Carla? Yeah, me too. After 20 workouts a day, and back slowly, one, two, and three. Well done, guys. Well done girls. So let's go for the other leg, the same way. If you did five with both legs and five just one leg when you're standing up, do the same, the same thing you did one side, you do the other side, okay? So all of us together, both legs. Let's go. One, now lift all the leg up and sit down. Whoop, up, one leg down. Attention, the focus here is your eccentric. When you're coming back, so control your movement, we're coming back. Two more, up, one leg, control your movement. And the last one, up, and back slowly. Now I defense it, remember, you have to stand up one leg, just one leg, the other ones here, okay?  Again, up, and sit down. For all of us, up, lift, whoops, sit down. Three more, up, lift, sit down. Two more, up, lift. The last one, keep your core engaged, press on your heels, engage your core, glutes, and sit down. Great, well done. First exercise, done. Second exercise, take your chair, now facing this way. If you are like on your sofa, because I know some people like they are using sofa, I hope not, but if you didn't grab that chair, you're on your sofa, fine. So you are here with your chair, okay? I hope everybody can see me. So basically, what do you have to do? You have to keep your legs, I think your here is better, everybody can see me. Both legs together, you have two steps. This leg is facing to the camera, back, going lunges all the way down slowly, press on your heel, and back.  Again, step, go back, go down slowly, and back.  One more.  Now let's do five more. Five, hands down, four, down, and three. Keep your posture down, your near foot in the same line, and two, and one more. Okay, well done. All the leg. Could you feel burning, Kara? Yes, definitely. So let's go for the other leg the same way. Remember the goal is, when you are, there's an accelerator, when you're holding your body weight when you're going down, okay? Your elastic strength, and three, and two, and one, eccentric. Let's go. Step, put your hand here as a reference just to help you, and back. Actation, you don't move your knee forward. Your knee always is straight and strong, and three, and back, and four, and back, and five, slowly, and back, and six, and back, and seven, and back. Actation, have you one, your knee, your heel, down, posture, and back. Engage your core, navel in. Two more, and last one. Well done. Okay, back for your chair one more time, okay? So now I'm here, sit on your chair. So what do you have to do now? I'm just pushing my camera a little bit higher for you to see me. Great. So everybody want, everybody here, everyone. Practition here. So we have it to jump. Oh my god, jump.  You have to pay attention when you are landing.  Let's do all of us together. So everybody here, hands here or hands on your waist. It doesn't matter. The important thing is posture, okay? Remember, when you're skiing, your posture is important. Here is important as well, to reproduce your eccentric when you be skiing. And three, and two, and one, all of us together. One jump, landing softly, sit on the chair. Again, jump, land softly. You cannot listen here. The sound of your foot, like touching the floor too much, okay? If you collapse in your foot, it's because you're not using your eccentric. And five, jump, and back slowly. And four, jump, and back slowly. And three, jump, and back slowly. And two, jump, and back slowly. One more, jump, and slowly. Okay, let's go for our challenge. Challenge. I'm coming back facing to the camera here. Actation. If you are feeling really hard to jump and land slowly, keep just this way, okay? If you're more advanced, if you used to do this kind of exercises. So let's go for the challenge. One leg, how? You jump with two, and land with one, okay? Do five, five, finish this exercise. Let's go, Kara. Okay, let's go. And three, and two, and one, this side here, okay? Jump both, land one leg. Again, one more time, same side. Jump, one leg. Jump, one leg. Jump, one leg. The last one. Jump, one leg. Perfect. Other side. And three, and two, and one. Come on, let's go. Jump, one leg. And two, whoops. And three, and four, and five. Perfect. Well done. Actation. Always, we can notice that one side is difficult, the other side, because we are not we don't have symmetry in both sides, okay? We are asymmetric. So it's normal. One side, feel more the other side. It's the reason exercise, increase the balance between both sides, okay? To adjust the level for both sides. So keep doing this. If you practice, you'll be much better. So now, no chair. Last exercise. Let's go for it.  Circle your navel in, engage your core, contract all these muscles here, like hold your P. You have two.

So we have to give you some advice, some tips for you before we go for stretching. Cara, please put your experience now for all of us. Thank you. Thank you very much Vivian. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed those exercises and what I thought was super cool as we were doing them was there was so many ways to relate them to skiing. So you know when Vivian would say to land gently on those jumps, I can't, I have lost track of the amount of times that my coach was like, stop landing like an elephant on the jump, land gently. And the reason why that is is that by engaging those eccentric muscles as you land, it's also protecting your joints. It's protecting your ankle, knees, and your hips. And if you guys were feeling a little bit wobbly on the landing of the jumps, I highly recommend that you go and watch the session that Vivian and I did for Ellis Brigham last Sunday, where we focus on ankles, knees, and hips and stabilizing your joints. And then the second thing that I wanted to touch on was again, repeating that slow down and power out. I mean, it just replicates the skiing turn perfectly. And especially when you're doing the single leg exercises, like Vivian said, I mean, my left turns are always being better than my right turns. And so I'm sure it's the case for you guys too, that you have a better side. That's why it's so important to, you know, what's the word, work on it just, you know, single out one of your legs and, you know, work on your weaknesses, discover your weak side, and identify it and work on it as well. So I really hope you guys enjoyed those exercises. I definitely did. And over to you, Vivian, for our little stretch at the end. Yeah, so let's go for stretching. Thank you very much, Cara, to always share your knowledge, your experience, because I really like adding my, her as an athlete. She's amazing. And then when we put all our knowledge together, especially on my side in biomechanics and her side and technique and experience and practice. So the combination became like super, became perfect. It's perfect for you guys, wanting to be better and ski and also to have your workout with some purpose. So I really recommend take a look, like sign up our workout plan, because it's really helpful. Okay, so let's go for a little stretch on the floor. So as there is, and I was telling you before to grab a mat and relax, remove your shoes, your trainers if you want. I always recommend when you're doing your stretching, like remove your trainings for you to feel all the muscles on the bottom of your feet, you can move your toes. It's very important always to have mobility on your joints. Okay, so lay down, hold your knees, relax one leg down, other one closer to your chest. I'll be talking to you a little bit about just like reviewing everything we did today. So the eccentric strength is about to have more precision to prevent injuries, to have better quality performance when you're doing your ski, okay, when you go for your slopes. So this kind of strength crossover, you have to train this. It's not just walking, it's not just doing concentric and machines, and you can add, develop this strength to develop better this strength. You have to do exercise like this one we did today, okay, when you have to put the goal to the desicclerate your movement, to hold your movement, you're coming back, other knee closer to your chest. For snowboarding, it's the same, okay, for all the sports, football, the eccentric brings your precision, okay. You are more precise when you're doing the movement is the eccentric, the strength, when you're holding back the contraction. Cross over, inhale, exhale, back in the center. If you can touch your toes, if you don't have too much flexibility, don't panic, just keep holding your knees, or go for your toes, turn over, sit on your heels, in child pose. Attention, some people, they have cramps when they sit on their heels this way, okay. Why? Because you have to, you stretch this muscles here on your chin, here. So what I recommend, first, start to practice your stretching this way on your toes, a little bit when you're not doing exercise, when you are relaxed, when you are on your recovery time, okay, just to get more flexibility, and then you put your toes straight on the floor, and you push your booty back this way, just to improve your flexibility.
