This is the Screen Directors Playhouse. The Thursday night feature on NBC's all-star festival of comedy, music, mystery, and drama. Brought to you by the makers of Anderson for fast relief from the pain of headache, neuritis, and neuralgia. Chesterfield, the only cigarette that combines mildness with no unpleasant aftertaste. The cigarette that brings you Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Your local Ford dealer, who is now displaying the new 1951 Ford, the car that's built for the years ahead, and RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television. Tonight the Screen Directors Playhouse is pleased to present a classic in comedy. Irene Dunn and Carrie Grant, starring in our adaptation of Leo McCarrie's production for RKO, my favorite wife. But first, no matter what you now take for headache relief, we urge you to try Anderson for the incredibly fast relief these tablets bring the next time you're suffering from a headache. Now the reason Anderson is so wonderfully fast-acting and effective is this. Anderson is like a doctor's prescription. That is, Anderson contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven active ingredients in easy-to-take tablet form. Thousands of people have received envelopes containing Anderson tablets from their own dentist or physician, and in this way discovered the incredibly fast relief Anderson brings from pains of headache, neuritis, or neuralgia. So the next time a headache strikes, take Anderson for this wonderfully fast relief. Anderson, A-N-A-C-I-N. Anderson at any drug counter in handy boxes of 12 and 30, economical family size bottles of 50 and 100. Now here is the first act of my favorite wife, starring Carrie Grant and Irene Dunn in their original roles of Nick and Ellen Arden. Consider a bottle floating into Pacific Ocean. Ah, if only fate would cast it on some shore where human eyes might read the note inside. The note that says, Ellen Arden is alive and well. I survived the sinking of the freighter Milton A. on August 5th 1943. I'm living on an island approximately 200 miles south of the point of sinking. Please notify my husband Nicholas Arden, Los Angeles, California, USA. If only these words might reach the ear of Nick Arden. But no, fate would have it otherwise. For seven years the bottle floats and now Nick has fallen into the clutches of another woman, Bianca Bates. The bottle floats and Nick is sunk. Nick, darling, isn't it time we thought about marriage? Marriage, Bianca? Marriage? Yeah, well, let's think about it sometime. Now, Nick. All right, I'm thinking.  Wonderful woman, Ellen. You should have known her. Well, what about me? All right, let's talk about you. Now, have you read any good books lately? Nick, I'm talking about marriage. I was just wondering if my children would understand that.  As a lawyer, here's the way I look at it. Nick, this isn't law. It's us, a man and a woman. Yes, Bianca.  Yes, Bianca. You love me, don't you? Yes, Bianca. Well, Nick. I've got an idea. What? Let's get married. This is the room, Bianca. Court of General Sessions. Nick, I still don't see why we have to be married by a judge. Get everything done in one place. He'll rule Ellen legally dead and marry us. It's morbid. And Nick, why do you insist on wearing that black tie? Sign of respect. But, darling, it's our wedding day. Oh, Nick, I bought this other tie for you to wear. It's more suitable for a wedding. Well, I can't put it on now, dear. Before the ceremony then. Well, come on, Bianca. We're already a little late. Look, we're the parties in the matter of odd and versus odd. Right here, your honor. There, about time. Sorry, your honor. Just stand here, Bianca. All right, darling. Young woman, what are you doing with that tie in your hand? Are you a tie salesman? Look, how did this tie salesman get in here? She's with me, your honor. Are you a tie salesman? Oh, no, I'm Nicholas Arden. Arden? That's a familiar name. Arden versus Arden, your honor. The brief is on your desk. Why didn't you say so?  Why won't you be here on time? Now you'll just have to wait. I'm supposed to marry somebody. Me, your honor. You? You got a license, got a ring, got a bride? Yes, your honor. But first, the matter of Ellen Wagstaff-Arden, my former wife. Young woman, are you his former wife? I should say not. You don't raise your voice. There's such a thing as contempt of court, you know. Well, your honor, Ellen Wagstaff-Arden was lost at sea. Oh, yes, yes. I remember now. I've got it all here in your breeze. My former wife was working as a news photographer during the war. She was aboard the freighter when it hit a reel. Will you let me read the brief? Sorry. It says here you have two children. My, that's sad. Very sad. It happened seven and a half years ago.  Well, there's a final summing up, your honor. You'll find it on page 10, right here. Yeah, I'll find it myself. Oh, here it is on page 10. Well, if I can explain, your honor. There's nothing to explain. Warren Affer-David's lost at sea, no evidence the contrary, the law's clear. Now, hereby pronounce Ellen Wagstaff-Arden legally dead. Oh, Nick, we're finally free. Young woman, stop waving that tie in my face. Your honor, this is the woman I intend to marry. Is this tie salesman? I am not a tie salesman. I'm his bride. Amazing. Man's wife hasn't been dead five minutes and he's getting married again. Miss Gardner, are you sure you want to marry this woman? Of course he's sure. Of course I'm sure. Well, there's a license. Right here, your honor. Now, will you please take off that horrible necktie? What? What's wrong with my necktie? Oh, no, no. Nothing, your honor. I distinctly heard her say this. No, she meant me. Now, pardon me, your honor. I just want to change ties. I don't understand this at all. Hey, clerk, do you understand this? Oh, I can't get the nut under. Well, let me help you, dear. Wait a minute. Bianca, you're choking me. Well, I'm trying, dear. But fate perverse fate is playing a strange trick on Nicholas Arton. Or even as he is being married, a figure garbed in ragged seafaring clothes is walking up to the door of the Arton home. Oh, are you? He's a sailor. I can tell. Hello there. See, chinch? It's not even a he at all. Are you a lady sailor? In a way. Our mommy was drowned in the sea. Wasn't she? Uh-huh. I'm not supposed to know. Timmy, do you miss her very much? Oh, sure. How'd you know my name? Oh, I know. And your sister's name is Chinch. Gosh, you're swell-looking, kid. Daddy says we look like our mommy. Would you like to have her back? I can't have her back. She's drowned. But maybe... I'm sorry, ma'am. We're not allowed to talk to strangers. But, Chinch... We're not allowed to talk to strangers. Is your daddy home? No. Pardon me. I heard you talking. Is there something... Hello, darling. Oh. Well, now don't faint. Is it... It is. It is not faint. Well, now don't be a sissy. Oh. Ellen, good heavens. Alive and eating well. Oh, Ellen. Oh, I think I'm going to cry.  Let's go in. Into my house. You know, I just can't believe it. When? How? Like, we thought you were drowned. No, darling. Definitely not drowned. And where have you been? An island.  Has a nickname. Nicky? Yes. Your son, my husband. Oh, well, he's fine. Handsome. As ever. Prosperous. Well, reasonably. Ellen? Yes. Nick's married again. What did you say? Nick, he's married. Oh. I never thought of it. Seven years, Ellen. Oh, yes, seven years. Is she nice? No. Anyone I know? No. Her name is Bianca Bates. Bianca Bates? Well, at least Nick hasn't lost his sense of humor. Mother? Yes, Ellen. How long did he wait? Oh, a long time. Until a long time. How long did he wait? Oh, a long time. Until today. Until today? You were declared legally dead this morning, and then Nick married Bianca. They're driving to Yosemite for the honeymoon. Yosemite? Not our hotel. Well, you see, Nick had business in San Francisco. Not sweet, eh? Not the same room. Oh, he couldn't. Oh, Ellen, my dear. I'm so sorry. If only you would have gotten here yesterday. Wait a minute. I'm thinking. Yes, yes. Married this morning, driving to Yosemite. Mother? Does Nick love her? He doesn't love her. He just married her. Do planes still fly to Yosemite? Well, I guess so. What have you got in mind? It's what Nicky has in mind, I'm worried about. Mother, I'm flying to Yosemite. Would you like to join Madcap Bob Hope in an airplane ride? Well, here's what might happen if you did. Bob, the pilot has a request to make. Would you please stay in your seat and keep away from the controls? You almost fouled up the flight. Oh, I don't think what I did was so bad. Oh, come now. All I did was make a rabbit's head with my fingers on the radar screen. The pilot resents me. How do you know? He keeps fastening my safety belt. Oh, what's wrong with that? To the propeller. Let's sell Chesterfield. You know, the real test for mildness in a cigarette is as old as tobacco itself. And it's also the easiest test in the book. It's just as simple as this. Make your next pack, Chesterfield, and open them, smell them, smoke them. Improve what every tobacco man knows. Tobacco's a smell-milder, smoke-milder. Chesterfield, Chesterfield, always winters play. That milder mild tobacco never leaves an aftertaste. So open a pack, give them a smell. Then you'll smoke them. Don't forget to give Crosby for Christmas. I mean the Chesterfield Christmas carton with Bing as Papa Santa Claus. Now here is act two of the Screen Director's Playhouse production of My Favorite Wife, starring Irene Dunn as Ellen, and Carrie Grant as Nick, fickle mistress of men's lives. See what a stunning blow she is about to deal Nick Arden. For as he and his bride Bianca park their car in the park, or as he and his bride Bianca park their car at the Yosemite Honeymoon Hotel, disaster lurks at the reservation desk. Its name is Ellen Arden. Brunt, brunt this gentleman to room 12. Now, madam, what can I do for you? My name is Mr. Pentwistle. Mr. Pentwistle, I wonder if my husband has arrived yet. Mr. Nicholas Arden. Oh, yes, the Honeymoon couple. Are you his bride? I'm one of them. Well, our hotel catered to Honey. One of them? Yes, one of them. The way you say that makes my blood run cold. I bet I've shocked you. Yes, silly old fashioned me. You still haven't answered my question. Has Mr. Arden arrived yet? I know he hasn't. Oh, thank goodness I'm in time. I hesitate to ask this question. In time for what?  Eh, not in this hotel, you know. Oh, it's perfectly all right. Yes, I'll bet it is. Eh, do you want to tell me about it? Well, that's awfully sweet of you, Mr. Pentwistle, but I think I'd like to freshen up. Oh, of course. You'll find a lovely powder room at another hotel eight miles down the road. Oh, I won't be going that far. Yes, well, maybe I'm just narrow-minded. Pentwistle speaking. This is the garage, Mr. Pentwistle. Good evening. Are you Mr. Pentwistle? Yes, yes, I'm Mr. Pentwistle. I have reservations for my wife and myself, Nicholas Arden. Your Nicholas Arden? Yes. Nick, why is he staring at you like that? I don't know. Is something wrong? Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you. I don't understand you. You don't understand me? Nick, may we go to our room? Yes, dear, yes, dear. Mr. Pentwistle, my wife is tired. Oh, so she's one of the brides. What do you mean, one of the brides? Do you have more? Do you have more? That's what this hotel is worried about. Oh, now, please, this is my wife. Yes, I'm sure she is. Just show us to our room. Very well. Frantz, sweet A. Oh, sweet A, but I don't want sweet A. Nick, why not? Well, sir, it's one of our very best. Well, haven't you something else? Well, I look. But it's their best, Nick. Yes, I know. But for you, Bianca, the best isn't good enough. I can bet you have sweet C. It's just been redecorated. Do you mind the smell of fresh paint? I love it. Smell of paint? Good for the indigestion.  I'll be up as soon as I register. All right, darling, I'll be waiting for you. Please hurry. Please just sign here. Yeah, thank you. You see, I couldn't take sweet A. You've been here before. You understand, don't you? Yes, and it gives me goose flesh. Here's the pen. Thank you. Mr. Arden, there's something I would like to get off my mind. What is it? There's a woman around here. She wants to bite you on the ear. Which ear? Well, I don't know. Well, what difference does it make which ear? Now, look, is this some kind of a joke? Yes. Yes, you can laugh. You're not a hotel manager. Oh, my goodness. Now, what's the matter, Mr. Pentwistle? She's coming back. Who's coming back? The other bride. What other bride? The one with the teeth. What teeth? Ouch! My ear! Hello, Nicky, darling. Oh, hello, Ellen. Ellen? Ellen? Oh, Ellen! Painted. He's fainted. What do we do, Mr. Pentwistle? Do you want my advice? Yes.  Are you feeling better, Nick? Dizzy. Very dizzy. It was nice of Mr. Pentwistle to let us use his office. Oh, Ellen, we've got to talk. Yes, we certainly do. What's the idea of you're getting married? Well, that's just it. My wife. I'm your wife. Bianca isn't going to like that. Well, I'm not going to like Bianca. Well, Mr. Arden. Hello, Mr. Pentwistle. How do you feel? As if I'm going in circles. Well, the next time you pass this way, there's a phone call for you. Who from? Your wife. The other one. Oh, thanks. You can use the phone on the desk. This I have to hear. Oh, Nick. Nick, before you pick it up. Yes, Ellen? A kiss. Mr. Arden, would you mind stop scuffing my rug? That's all I wanted to know. Oh, my, my, my, my. Nothing's changed. Nothing's changed. Not a thing. No. Now you can talk to Bianca. Bianca? Yes, the phone. The phone? Oh, hello. Who's this? Nick? Oh, Bianca. Oh, hello, Bianca. What's new? Yes, darling.  Ouch. What happened? Well, I just barked my shins. Just a minute, Bianca. Now, Ellen, stop kicking me. Well, you cut out that, darling. But just don't kick me. Hello, Bianca. Where are you? Uh, barbershop. Dog. Need a haircut. But you don't need a haircut. Shave. You shave this morning. Shampoo? Nick. I'll tie a string around my finger. I like waiting, Nick. I'll be right up, darling. Ouch. Oh, oh, forgot, forgot. What does she want? Right up, barb. Huh? What does she want? Well, she said she's hungry. She wants a corned beef sandwich. Oh, well, if that's all she wants, you just stay right here and let Mr. Pentwistle go. Mr. Pentwistle would just assume stick his neck in a bread slicer. Ellen, Ellen, now listen. Let's go somewhere where we can be alone. Yes, where? Your room. Oh, but I don't have one. Well, then I'll get you one. Mr. Pentwistle. Don't say it. A room for Mrs.... I mean, for Miss Wagstaff. Oh, why did I ever run away from the pool room? Well, you'll take Sweet-A if you have it, but you don't like Sweet-A. Mm-hmm. He does now. Along came the freighter, and I lit the fire on the hill, and that's all there was to it. Seven years on an island. Seven years. Oh, I missed you, Ellen. How old are the children? I saw them. They're darling. Mm-hmm. Did you tell them yet? No, not yet, Nick. I want to do it gradually. It'll be kind of a shock. Shock? The most shocking thing of all is that I'm married again. I'm still terribly in love with you. Mm-hmm. Well, if you think that's shocking, how would you like to come home after seven years and find your husband checked into a hotel with another woman? Oh, now, she's not just another woman. She's my wife. Mm-hmm. Seems to me you just bagged more than the legal limit. How in the world did this happen to me? How did I suddenly become a bigger mess? The question is, what are you going to do about it? Well, naturally, I want to do the right thing by everyone. Well, fine, then you start by telling Bianca. Oh, no, can't do that. Well, why not? Well, she wouldn't understand. Sensitive, high-strung. Not as high-strung as I'd like to see her. You just leave this to me. All right, then you just march right into her room and tell her that your wife's come back. On her wedding night? Yes, tell her she got bumped by higher priority. You can't bump Bianca. Mm-hmm. Well, nothing could be farther from my mind. Nicholas Odden, do you love that woman? No. Do you love me? Yes. Well, just don't do something. Stand there. All right, so long as I get a shave and a haircut. Oh, Nick, stop stalling. Oh, well, now, Ellen be reasonable. I just can't walk in there like a dope and say, sorry, my mistake, marriage is off, can I? Well, you just say it or I will. All right, in that case I'll say it. Mr. Odden, I don't want to be prissy about this, but your wife would like to see you. Which wife? Which wife? The one in sweet seed. Oh, that wife? If you'll follow me, please, Mr. Odden. Ellen, I'm off to see Bianca. I'll be strong. You'd better be her. I'll tell her myself. Right down this hall, Mr. Odden, is your sweet. It's a nice sweet.  Which wife? The one in sweet seed. The one inside this door.  Now, let me explain. It's as simple as A, B, C. Now, don't tell me you got another one in B. Mr., why don't you just forget about me and my problem? Good night, Mr. Odden. Good night. Oh, what a problem. Now, Bianca. Oh, no, that's not strong enough. Oh, no.  This is the situation. Truth is, strange and in fiction. Bianca, there's something between two people who've been married that you don't get between two people who haven't been married. Friends? Where? Friends have a word for it. Now, now let me see it, all right? Now, be big, Bianca. Be brave. You will? That's a girl. Nick. Bianca, something's come up. What? My wife. Nick, you're talking so strangely. Bianca, there's a situation between two people who've ever been married. Truth is, stranger than a Frenchman. Oh, you're darling. Well, in that case, good night. Darling. Oh, darling. Are you just bashful? Is that what's wrong? Uh, bashful. Yeah, that's it. Buck fever. See you later. Nick. What? Going down to get a deck of cards. Can't ask them. Come inside. Come on, Nick. Oh, come inside. Well, all right. I've sent down for some champagne. Oh, can't drink the stuff. Gives me hiccups. Like that. Terrible. All right, darling.  Just like me.  Don't be afraid of me. I'm your wife. That's what I'm afraid of. Nick, come on. Put your arms around me.  We're man and wife, darling. Now, what would you like to do? Answer the phone. Hello? Jed, I'm working up to it. What's that, Nick? Well, it's an important client. Very important. I have to go back to work tomorrow. Don't try to stop me. All right. I'll tell her myself. All I need is time. What were you doing in there? Briefing her. Bianca and I are not going to spend the night in the hotel. Oh, you aren't? No. No, we're driving back home. Now, why don't you catch the next plane back and we'll settle everything in a nice, civilized manner? Oh, I know your civilized manner. That's what got me into this hotel seven years ago. Ellen, Ellen, I promise you. I promise you I'll tell her. Oh, no. Come on. Let's go back to your room. Seven lonely years. All those years on an island. Nobody to talk to. Nothing but memories. My love for you and the will to stay alive. Hoping against hope that you'd wait and then to come home and find myself legally dead. I know, Ellen dear. I'll make it up to you. Yes? Well, well, you are fickle, aren't you? Just leaving, Mr. Pendwistle. Before you do, would you mind delivering a message to your wife... to that woman... to whoever she is in there with you? Right. Far away. A Mr. Stephen Burkett phone earlier. Stephen Burkett? Yes. He says to tell her he left her things from the island with her mother-in-law. Things from the island? Mm-hmm. And that seven years together wasn't nearly enough. He'd like to see her again. Goodbye and good luck. Stephen Burkett? Stephen Burkett? Stephen Burkett? Oh, what did you say, Nick? Just a minute. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Anything. Things from the island. And Nicky? Nicky? Ellen? Nicky, I can explain. Now, was there a man on that island with you? What island? You know what island. Oh, that island? Or was there a man with you? Pardon me, dear. What was it? Wait a minute. Where are you going? Out. Out where? For a shave and a haircut. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you an invitation. An invitation to examine the fine new Ford for 1951. It's on display now at your neighborhood Ford dealers. And we want you to see it. We want you to drive it. Because this car is the finest Ford ever produced. It's a quality car. A car that's designed and built to give you lasting satisfaction in the years ahead.

You are listening to the Screen Director's Playhouse, the Thursday night feature of NBC's All-Star Festival. The third act of My Favorite Wife will continue after a brief pause for station identification. Production of My Favorite Wife, starring Carrie Grant as Nick and Irene Dunn as Ellen. Nicholas Arden is not a happy man. Wife number one has fled he knows not where, leaving behind only the thought that she has spent seven years on a desert island with another man. And wife number two sits glaring beside him as the car travels through the ghastly night. Nicholas Arden, don't you think you owe me an explanation? Yes, I do. Well. I can't think of one. Oh, well, Bianca, you must think I behave very strangely. I certainly do. It runs in the family. The night my father was married, he pitched horseshoes until four o'clock in the morning. God, your father, we've driven all night and all day without a stop. Mother never forgave him. Pitched horseshoes all night. Never won a single game. Chinch. Yes, sir. Timmy. Yes, sir. No more stories. Not even one? No. It's time for bed. Don't we have to go to bed, Grandma? If Ellen says you do, you do. Now off with you now. Brush your teeth and wash your faces. Come on, Timmy. I guess we gotta. That ain't fair. Isn't fair. Ellen dear, don't you think that they should know you're their mother? Oh, I'll tell them. I'm just afraid, I guess. Well, do you want Nick to tell them? No. No, I'll do it. Oh, there's Nick's car. Here they are. All right. Now, have you got it straight? You'll introduce me as an old friend of the family from the south. Oh, here we are. Hello. Coming, Nick. Let's go. Oh, my, my, my. Look at that. Aren't you my mother? Let me give the bridegroom a great big cestely kiss just for luck. He's lucky enough. There. Hello, Bianca. Now, this is an old friend of the family from Virginia. Her name is... Effie. And you're the bride. Yes, she is.  Now, I'm visiting here. Nick, I'm still waiting. Waiting? What for? The threshold. Go on. Carry over the threshold, Nicky darling. All right. Well, here you go. Is he just too sweet for words? He's just a doll. Over the threshold, Bianca. Are you all right, dear? Let me help you up, dear. Oh, I'm so sorry. Will you all forgive me? I hope that doesn't mean bad luck. Nothing could give this marriage a worse start than it already has. Oh, isn't that nice? You're not stopping. Crazy about your husband. Crazy about him. He was the darlest boy you ever did see until he got gawky. Don't you think he's gawky? I think he's gawky. I wasn't aware that I gawked. Please, Nick, I'm awfully tired. Well, let me show you to your room. Nick will show me. Oh, Nick and I want to talk over old times. Don't we? No, we don't we. We can do it right here if you want. Nicky, remember the night we were married? Bianca, Bianca. Why don't you go up to bed? Are you coming? Uh, in a minute, yes. I'll send sugar plum up just as soon as I'm through with them.   Bianca, I'll see you upstairs. Oh, good night. Good night, child, sweet dreams. Oh, Nick, you're in a terrible pickle, aren't you? You haven't told her yet? No, I haven't. And what about that, that Steven Burkett? You ran out fast enough and I brought up that topic of conversation. Well, I can explain about him. Seven years on an island together. Why didn't you tell me? Well, I knew you'd fly to conclusions. After seven years, there's no place else to fly to. Little old Steven, are you jealous of him? Oh, please stop talking as though he were a casual acquaintance. Poor Steven. He broke his leg getting on the island. It took a whole year to mend. What about the other six years? Nick, if you could only meet him, you'd see how silly you are. Silly? What's so silly? Well, he's such a little man. I don't think he weighs over 120 pounds. He spent most of his time pursuing his hobby. What hobby? Nature. No, I mean flowers and plants and things. Oh, Nick, he's so harmless. After all, a man over 60. 60? Yes, darling. Well, why didn't you tell me? Well, I had a hunch you'd carry on this way. Nick, are you coming up? Coming right up. Nick Arden, I should feel insulted. You cross-examining me this way while that woman yells for my husband in my house. Oh, yeah. The poor girl thinks she's married just because we had a wedding ceremony. Nick! Coming! Nick, are you going to tell her? Sure. When? Now. Stout fellow. Oh, that's mean. Kiss goodnight. Right. Oh, you cousin over you. Nick, I just want to know one thing. Do you love me?  I'm your wife. Well, that's what I was coming to.  Oh, but the love of heaven tell me what's wrong with me. Oh, nothing, Bianca. Believe me, under other circumstances, who knows? Oh. But now, look, let's start in the beginning. Once there was a man who met a girl. I'm the man and you're the girl. Now, see? Isn't that simple? What are you trying to say? Well, just this. Oh, the doorbell's ringing. Be right back. Yes? Yes. Hi. I suppose you're Nick. I suppose I am. Glad to meet you. Shake. Oh, how'd you do it? Oh, hurt your hand? Don't know my own strength. Who are you? I'm Adam from the island. I guess Ellen hasn't told you about our nicknames. Nickname? I'm Stephen Burkett. You are Stephen Burkett? Yeah. Guess we've got a lot in common, huh? Oh, undoubtedly not. Tell me, this, this, this nickname business, what did you call Ellen? Eve. Eve. Adam and Eve. What else? Well, that's clever. Say, uh, uh, you mind if I come in? Kind of a low door you've got there. Almost bumped my head. Ah, 120 pounds, Mr. Burkett. You would have made it easily. Ah, you're kidding. I wouldn't kid you, Mr. Burkett. My, but you look amazingly spry for a man of 60. I'm not 60. You're not? Well, that is a surprise. And how is your broken leg, Mr. Burkett? I didn't break my leg, old man. I'm sorry. Once I, uh, once I sprained my toe and I kicked an alligator. Oh, sure.  Yes, Bianca. What was that? Well, that was a female alligator calling to her mate.  Oh, not at all. Well, you see Adam, I too am part of nature. The part that goes over the fence last. All I've got to say is that if you spent seven years on an island with my wife, I'm in trouble. We'll return to our drama in just a moment. Right now, here's a word from RCA Victor. You remember the wonderful one-horse shea? It ran a hundred years to a day, but then went to pieces all at once and nothing first, just as bubbles do when they burst. Well, many of us depend on radios and phonographs practically in the one-horse shea class.  Don't wait till yours do that final bubble dance. Replace them now and save money. When you visit your RCA Victor dealer to buy your million-proof television set, buy it in a magnificent RCA Victor combination unit accompanied by two superb new radios, AM and FM, and two superb new phonographs which play all record speeds. You'll pay far less for these five wonderful instruments combined in one beautiful cabinet than you'd pay for them separately. And of course, right down the line in all of them, you'll get that matchless quality which has made RCA Victor world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television. Now back to our story. My favorite wife, starring Irene Dunn and Carrie Grant. And once again, the fates look down and laugh at Nicholas Arton as he tipsoes to the door of Ellen Arton, wife number one. The fates laugh, and Nick taps on the door. How is that going to bed? Ellen, I'd like you to tell me again about Stephen Burkett. Poor old Stephen. With the broken leg. 120 pounds. 60 years old. Nature lover.  That puny half pint is downstairs standing on his hands just for exercise. Stephen, here. Adam and Eve. I suppose I'm just the viper in the garden of paradise. You are not. You're the apple. Nick, where are you? She's the viper. Now why did you lie to me about it? Nick, I did nothing on that island to be ashamed of. Well, what did you do for seven years? Swat, sissy flies? Your voice is in here and I thought I'd just pop in and say hello. Now you can just pop right out again. My wife's dressed for bed. I've seen her in a lot less than that, haven't I, Eve? Yes, but it was pretty foggy most of the time. No time to talk about the weather. I see here, old man. There's no cause to get excited. My whole life is falling apart and I can't even get excited in my own home. What are you doing here, anyway? I was lonely for Eve. After all, we used to see quite a bit of each other. I might as well state my case right now, old man. I love your wife. I can't help it, Eve.  If Nicholas doesn't want you, I do. Do you want me, Nick? I'm not so sure. Nick! Bianca, it's time you knew. I'm a married man. What are you doing in this woman's room? She's no woman. She's my wife. I'm your wife. Nick, what are you trying to do? Yes, Nick, explain to us what are you trying to do? What have you got to do with this, Effie? Yes, Nick, what's Effie got to do with this? Crazy. I've been trying to tell you, Bianca. This is my wife, Ellen. The dead one? Oh, she's pretty lively. I can vouch for that. You've got to face it. My wife, Ellen, came back. All a mistake. We'll laugh about it someday. Ha, ha, ha. Bigamist. I'm seeing my lawyer in the morning. Nicholas Arden, you deserve that slap. Why did I? All I did was tell her the truth. Well, the poor girl's in love with you, and what do you do?  What I want to know is which one of us gets each?  He doesn't like it, Adam. Now stop that. He's just jealous, making mountains out of molehills. Some molehill, a desert island. Which one of us do you want, Eve? Choose your mate. I'm strong and healthy. I'm just gulky. Well, I'll have to think about it. I'm against the law for you to think you're legally dead. Oh, well, we'll see about that tomorrow. Good. In court. Right. Bigamist. I say, don't I know you?  Oh, yes, you're the lawyer. This is a civil court, Mr. Arden. We don't handle Bigamy here. What kind of lawyer are you? What school did you go to? Harvard, Your Honor. I'm a Yale man myself. Where's the kissless bride? Here, Your Honor. Yonker Bates. You're sure you're kissless? Ask this miserable worm I was married to. She's kissless, Your Honor. Harvard man. I want an annulment. You grant it. This is the happiest day of my life. You know, I used to know a girl who looked just like her. She's old necktie. No one waxed her heart. What about it? Well, you declared her legally dead. Oh, so I did. Is this Harvard man here prepared the brief?  Well, what do you want me to do? Reverse myself? You go to the Court of Appeals. They're always reversing me anyway. If your honor pleases, I can point out the pertinent facts in the brief. Now, you see, right here, and here. Ellen, Ellen, what about this? Will you marry me? Oh, Steven, thank you so much. But it's Nick. All right, Ellen. I trust you. Mr. Lawdon, get off my lap. I don't need you to show me how to read a brief. You get down there with that woman. Yes, Your Honor. Well, you see, I have here a precedent for this case. I cite Mulligan versus Mulligan Benson in the city of Fresno, 1879. Are you going to complicate this thing? No, Your Honor. You see, the first wife returned after an absence of considerable length to find that her husband, Mr. Mulligan, had remarried. But Mrs. Mulligan Benson, the second wife... I don't understand this at all. Well, it was a sort of a Mulligan stew. Young woman, I could hold you in contempt of court for that remark. Don't let me get half you. Well, Your Honor, when the first wife returned, the second wife immediately sued for annulment, which left Mr. Mulligan free to remarry either the first wife or the second wife, Mrs. Mulligan Benson, you see? You will? Don't just stand there, Gawky. What did he do? Oh, he dropped dead of cirrhosis of the liver. And they never did find out whether he slept with his beard over the covers or under the covers. Now that remark is going to cost you $25. Oh. But, Your Honor, I'm legally dead. All right, you're legally alive. And make it $50. Pay the clerk courts adjourn. Thank you, Your Honor. I want to go home and tell my wife about this case. She thinks most of my cases are dull. Well, Ellen, here you are, alive and kicking. Now, you and I, then, can get back to nature. Nick, aren't you ashamed of yourself saying a thing like that? Why, an hour ago, I was a bigamist. Now, I don't have any wife at all. Not one single solitary wife. Well, it's your own fault. What did I do? You were a jealous brute. Well, I've got a right to be jealous.  Maybe you'll make up your mind to forgive me for not drowning. Well, it isn't that. Well, I've got some thinking to do myself. And I'm not so sure I want you the way you're acting. Well, Ellen, it's not that I don't love you. It's just that you don't approve of me. No, Nick, I'll have to consider this carefully. I'd like to take the children go away for a few weeks. And that way, we'd get to know each other better. And then I could tell them I'm their mother. And I can think about us. Where are you going to go? I don't know. The hotel in Yosemite, I guess. How are you going to get there? We'll drive. Well, in this weather? Well, it's not so bad with tire chains. Oh, no, not with the kids. I'll drive you myself. Well, if you want to. I think I'll stay until Christmas. That'll give us both time to make sure we know what we want. Leave tomorrow? Yes, tomorrow. These bags through Room 112. Now, sir, what can I do for you? My name is Mr. Pantwistle. I'm Nicholas Arden. You? I brought my family. Mr. Arden, this is a hotel, not a harem. Just one wife, Mr. Pantwistle. Me. What happened to the other one? Or am I being nosy? She was annulled yesterday morning. Well, congratulations. Now, I'd like two rooms, one for my wife and one for our two children. Children? Where did they come from? Mr. Pantwistle. Mr. Pantwistle. How would it be if I just told you the story of my life? My wife wouldn't approve. Now, we have just two rooms left. They're adjoining. Sign here, please. Oh, Ellen, where are the kids? They're admiring the big Christmas tree. Chint, Timmy. Pretty tree. We've even got a model Santa Claus. All dressed up as big as a man. Mr. E.B., please take Mr. Arden to his rooms and warm the chambermaids. I won't be staying. I'm driving back tonight. Don't you want to see the Santa Claus, Daddy? At this moment, dear, I don't think your father really believes in Santa Claus. I just said goodbye to the children. Oh, golly, I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed. Drive back, Nick. Oh, sure, sure. I'll have to be careful. Awfully dark at night. Oh, I'm so tired. So cozy in here. Cold outside, too. Well, you'd better start now. You're sure you don't want me to... To what?  Just tonight. No room. Well, we are married. But we agreed that everything is suspended until Christmas. Oh, yeah, Christmas. This is just the 7th of December. Good night, Nick. Good night. I hope I get back all right. Well, I'm sure you will. Well, goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Nick! Yes, um... I just wanted to say goodbye. Oh, goodbye. Tim, Timmy. We were just going... We were just going to bed. Well, I... I want you to sit down. You too, Timmy. Sure. I want to tell you something about your mommy. We're listening. Well, it's just... Well, we're all staying together. And I love you both very, very much. And that's because I think you're wonderful children. And besides, you see, I used to know you a long, long time ago. And... Go on, Mommy. What did you say?  You... You knew? We eavesdropped on you and Grandma. Oh, you kids, come here. Hello, Mother. Mommy.  Oh, you two get into bed. Nick! Go on now. Good night, Mommy. Good night. Good night, Timmy. Is something wrong? Car won't start. Are you sure? Positive. Well, then, I guess you'll have to stay in the hotel for the night. Try it. No rooms left. Well, what are you going to do? Sleep in the snow. Thought you'd like to know. Well, maybe I can help you. Can you, Ellen? I'll give you a blanket. Oh, dear. What's that? Oh, chest. Doesn't mean anything. Oh, well. Good night. Nice room you have here. Yes, I like it. Nice bed. Fine bed. Room for two. Oh, plenty of room. Good night, Nick. What about me? What about you? What about me staying? Where? Here. Oh, no, couldn't do that. No trouble. Well, the principle of the thing. Oh, I could even sleep on the floor. Could you? No. No bother to you. None at all. Oh, well. Well, come in. Thank you. Well, now, the floor? A floor. Are you comfortable? Very. I'm cold. Are you cold? No, I'm not cold. Go to sleep, Nick. I can't. Sleeping on this floor is like sleeping on a board. Well, we'll talk about it at Christmas time. It's a long time till Christmas. 18 days. Well, you don't care. You're not even sure you want me. Yes, I am. Be quiet. You'll wake the children. Christmas? Christmas. Yes, Ginch? I hear a man's voice in Mommy's room. Maybe it's Daddy. Somebody just left. Let's see. It is Daddy. Where's he going? Let's follow him and find out. He's going to the Christmas tree. He's taking the Santa Claus. No, he isn't either. He's just taking the Santa Claus suit. What's he doing? He's putting it on. What's he doing? He just stubbed his toe. I wonder what he's putting the Santa Claus suit on for. Daddy, it's your strange sometimes. Maybe he's just going to surprise Mommy. Are you asleep, Nick? Nick? Nick? Where's that darn light? Nick? Once a year, this is it. Come out from behind those whiskers. Come here, darling. Are we married? Yes, it's Christmas. Merry Christmas, Ellen. Merry Christmas to all. And to all our goodnight. Our stars of my favorite wife will return in just a moment with our guest director, Leah McCary. Say, what happens at Bing Crosby's house when the Bob Hope program comes on? Well, here's Bing to tell us about it. By the way, Bing, do you happen to catch Bob Hope's program? Ken, the Bob Hope show is an absolute must in the Crosby household. Every Tuesday night we all gulp our dinner down and we dash madly for the radio. We all sit in a semi-circle and we pay strict attention. The first one to laugh has to wash the dishes. Oh, then you heard Bob Manch the new Chesterfield poster, the one that shows him holding up a new Chesterfield Christmas carton? Oh, indeed I did. I heard him plug my Santa Claus likeness on the carton, too. Oh, you know, Bing, you make a very convincing pop of Santa Claus? Well, I've had a modicum of practice, shall we say. Anyway, it's a wonderful gift for just about everyone you want to get a gift for. Chesterfield, Chesterfield always wins first place. That milder mild tobacco never leaves an aftertaste. So open a pack, give him a smell. Then you'll smoke him. This Christmas give Chesterfield Christmas cartons with Bing as pop of Santa Claus. Next week, the Screen Directors Playhouse brings you a great actress and a swiftly rising young star paired in one of Hollywood's most fascinating psychological dramas. Our story is The Lady Gambles, directed by Michael Gordon. And our stars are Barbara Stanwick and Stephen McNally. Now, here again at tonight's stars, Irene Dunn and Carrie Grant. You know, Carrie, we've got a friend to introduce. There's no use beating around the bush with this fellow. All right, Carrie, he's a producer. And the Academy Award-winning director of such pictures as The Awful Truths. Yes, Carrie and I win that one together. And Love Affair and Going My Way. And he was also the producer of the picture we adapted tonight. My favorite wife. Ladies and gentlemen, Leo McCarrie. Thank you, but I'd better clear up something right now. Since I was only the producer on My Favorite Wife, I'm just pinch hitting tonight for the director, Garcin Canaan. Oh, my such disarming Mother's Day. No, really, Carrie. I think there are times when the producer of a film gets entirely too much credit. When do you feel like that? When I'm directing. The poor man's personality is spit right down the middle. Very handy in our business, Carrie. It allows a guy to appraise his own handiwork. All right, appraise my favorite wife. Well, Garcin Canaan's direction was the epitome of comedy. The acting, well, the acting spoke for itself tonight. Irene, you were superb. Carrie, you were positively brilliant. The two of you were just simply... Oh, come on, Leo. I wouldn't go that so far. I only said things that were written for me. Well, that's all I'm doing. I'm just reading what's written here myself. Oh, now, wait a minute. No, we all have one more line, Leo. We have? Good night. Good night. And so ends tonight's Screen Directors Playhouse. The Thursday Night feature on NBC's All Star Festival, brought to you by the makers of Anderson for the fast relief from the pain of headache, neuritis, and uralgia. Chester Field, the only cigarette that combines mildest with no unpleasant aftertaste. Your local Ford dealer who is now displaying the new 1951 Ford, the car that's built for the years ahead, and RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television. Meet all the gang at Duffy's Tavern tomorrow night on NBC.


The acting is horrible. It's atrocious. Even the guy who plays Dr. Stein, that John Hart guy, he's been around for so long.  The guy who plays Malcolm is so shitty. Confesses his love to Dr. Walker. There's no emotion or anything. I love you. I've always loved you. And Eddie, so bad. Could I have some ice cream? My throat's dry. This is useless.


Hello everyone, my self-care brother, assistant professor, Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Walsh and the Institute of Technology, Swalapur. Welcome to video lecture on very small aperture terminal that is also called the InShot vShot. Let us start with the learning outcomes first. At the end of this session, students will be able to draw and explain architecture of vShot earth station, discuss, advantage and limitations of vShot. What is vShot first? vShot is a small satellite earth station that transmits and receives data wise or video via satellite. That means, basically it is an earth station which is used to transmit and receive data wise etcetera via satellite. The very small component of vShot refers to the size of the vShot disk antenna typically about 60 centimeter to 3.8 meter. The small or very small refers to the size of the disk antenna. It requires or vShot requires no additional technology to operate it, vShot simply plugs into existing terminal equipment. What is the effect on frequency and transmitted power if size of the antenna decreases? Pause the video and write the answer. I think you might have written the answer. When I decrease the size of the antenna on the other hand, we need to increase the transmitting power also. We need to increase the frequency of the transmitting signal. So, decrease in antenna size cause the increase in transmitting power as well as a signal transmission frequency. Why is vShot? Early earth stations in commercial systems were very large and expensive. We need to make system more affordable to end user. We need to increase the transmit power from satellite and also higher frequency of transmission. This result into a smaller earth station antenna size required. That means in the earlier days, so it is a large and expensive satellite disk antennas use or satellite earth stations are used. These are very difficult to install and transporting also cumbersome. To make it easy for the end user by the cost of transmitting power increase as well as a higher frequency concentration, you can get it reduce the earth station antenna size. vShot implementations. There are several ways vShot service might be implemented. First one is one way which is used for TV broadcasting satellites where that is the only transmission or TV broadcasting stations have only transmission of the signals. There is no reception that is one way transmission. Split two way that is also called split IP implementation. Here there is a return link from user is not via the satellite example for this is direct TV. So, there is a two way but return link is not through satellite direct by the user. Third one is two way implementation. It comes up both up link as well as down link through satellite for up link earth station to satellite for down link from satellite to the earth station. So, in this video I am going to discuss only two way implementation. Two way implementations are further classified into two types. First one is star vShots are linked via a hub. Second means mesh vShots are linked together without going through a large hub. You can see these two diagrams this is a star vShot network. It comes up a central hub this is also called the master control station. So, there are several vShots are connected if anyone vShot want to transmit signals to or communicate with another vShot the first signal reaches to the hub and then to the another vShot. So, whereas in the mesh second diagram mesh architecture it does not have any hub it has several vShots. So, communication takes place from one vShot to another vShot. So, vShot star architecture you can see this diagram there is a master control station called hub. So, hub is situated on the earth station and several vShots are connected. If I want to communicate from one vShot to another vShot it should transmit first to the satellite and then to the hub again hub hub will retransmit back and to the satellite and it will transmit back to the another vShot. There is a communication takes place through central unit unit called hub. In star network architecture all of the traffic is routed via the master control station or called hub. If a vShot wishes to communicate with another vShot they have to go via the hub as we have discussed. So, if vShot wants to communicate with another vShot it should go through the hub. Necessity a a double hop link via the satellite first from vShot to the hub and then hub to the another vShot. Since all of the traffic radiates from the hub this architecture is referred to as a star network because here there is a hub is placed at the center. Then vShot mesh architecture in this there is no hub or central control station. So, one of the vShot acts as a control station here or several combinedly you can work together as a master control station or hub. In mesh architecture each of the vShots has ability to communicate directly with any of the other vShots. Since the traffic can go to or from any vShot this architecture is referred to as a mesh network. It will still be necessary to have network control and the duties of the hub can end either be handled by one of the vShots. So, some hub is required to control here. So, one of the vShot acts as a hub here. The master control station functions can be said among the vShots. What are the advantages and limitations of star network? First we shall see advantages. First one is it reduces the transferring of packets from the excessive number of nodes. Central hub facilitates the easy addition of new devices any vShot to be added here. So, central hub itself gives an option to add any vShot network. It is easy to understand install and navigate. So, very easy to understand because you can add it easily means you can install also and understand easily. Faulty parts can be easily detected and eliminated. One advantage is good advantage is any of the device or vShots goes that is faulty they can be detected and eliminated easily. It is interference free at the time of adding and removing devices when you add any of the new network or vShot. So, that in that time interference is free there is no interference in the system. What are the limitations? The function of the system is highly depends upon the central hub. So, totally the entire network depends on the hub. Any lapse in the central hub can result in the inoperability of entire system. If hub get any problem the entire system will not operate. Scalability relies on the capability of the central hub. The scalability factor depends on the that is capability of the central hub. Advantage and limitations of mesh network. Advantage first. The mesh topology helps more than one transmission of data from one node to another node simultaneously we can send the signal simultaneously from one node to another node. Provides privacy and security with point to point links here there is no central hub that is why directly can transmit from one point to another point or one link to another link. It is robust failure of one link does not affect the other system. There is no hub here. In the previous case if hub does not work then entire system will not operate. Here it is a robust system failure of one link does not affect the other system. Fault identification isolations are also easy. What are the limitations? This network configuration cannot create redundant network connections as there are some connections which are useless. The overall cost of the topology is also increased because of an excessive amount of cabling and need of IOPORs. The system cost in mesh network is increased because accessing of cable and need of IOPORs. Wiring is complex in this mesh network. These are some of the references I refer to prepare above PPT. Thank you.


That itself is that you should never ever lose that North Star because this is a North Star That is what's gonna make you successful in the future with anything you do Riz is a part of our students and he runs You know what Riz? Why don't you do the introduction because I know you guys have been changing quite a bit And you guys were one of like a very very popular pop-up store in your town Yeah, so basically my name is Riz Seymour and Zalin Long And we together run like a vegan hot dog store called Vossage Well, it was a store now. It's a pop-up called Vossage's First few years we did festivals markets just kind of whatever we could testing everything out testing menus recipes and just building the business really And then now where we are we're at obviously with COVID and everything and we're doing pop-ups In restaurants and cafes. I say that plural. We've done one location so far And at the moment and what I was about to speak to Wilson about is basically the fact that we're You know talking with a few different places and yeah trying to you know find out where he's going to be a good place for us to Eventually set up more of a permanent spot. So yeah, but then I could say Wilson back to the where I was explaining so the one of the locations we're talking to at the moment is a local shopping mall and The the marketing manager of that location She's basically saying Well to backtrack a little bit more that that specific place It got bought out about four years ago by like a big, you know multi-million-pound corporation And they're wanting to heavily invest. It's one of these shopping malls where it's a bit, you know There's not really a lot going on And it's it's got the infrastructure But it's it's just empty if that makes sense and and what they want to do is obviously put a lot more money into it to you know bring people in and One concept that's doing well not necessarily in shopping centers, but just around the UK I'm not presuming it's happening in the US as well is like Kind of like street food courtyards where they'll be like different traders. They'll do like, you know Once or maybe just weekends, you know pop-ups And and essentially what what they want to do is create something like that But with more like ghost kitchen type setups like a shell kitchen where they'd have I don't know Let's say five to ten traders off top of my head. I don't know But I have a set amount of traders and I'll cycle that and maybe have some resident traders and but I guess At the moment I haven't I have a specific question for it, but it's just preemptively I think you know, obviously you've said to a couple of the guys when we get to that stage where it comes to like Negotiation I do feel like it's going to be kind of like a little bit more boardroom as opposed to you know, you know Just having a casual conversation. I feel like it will get a little bit more serious So I mean, yeah when it gets to that stage, it'd be brilliant kind of just to Run run run it all like all the details past yourself and like get annoyed totally And I I would love to be able to help you out because when it comes to negotiation Negotiation is a very creative process and to give you guys just kind of update you guys It's more on there is no right way of negotiation when it comes down to it a lot of people They make the mistake of thinking that things are very black and white It's like they get an offer and they build off that benchmark and they negotiate through that benchmark And that is a not the best way to go through any kind of negotiation Negotiation because at the end of the day when you're dealing with let's say a landlord and Especially because the circumstances which you have explained is the fact that they don't have that much people and they're wanting to revitalize this whole area They're gonna be definitely very willing to work out something very creative with you and I'll share with you an example that I have so Few years ago, I was offered and part of my other business I run carnival games and events and part of that business I was offered a location At a very rural area and within that rural area. They actually offered me five years free rent Because we run pretty big events, right? So we have tens of thousands of people coming in through the doors every single night so they're In an intent and also they're basically that what incentivize them is the fact that me as an event Organizer I can go in create traffic and ultimately traffic is what would make that value of the land go up So for him, it really is a no lose Situation because if I don't go and revitalize that land No one else would be and they would need to spend Hundreds of hundreds of thousands of dollars to do advertisement or to hire agencies to hire other people to do it So for them it becomes a win-win situation where hey, you know what? I'm gonna give it to this guy and he's gonna do his stuff make a ton of money while doing it and He's gonna put in all the work and five years later I'm gonna jack up the price of the rent and now I can charge premium rent because they have done all the Work already so they basically allow you to profit profit profit to a point where you know what? You guys are doing well put in their groundwork and then I'm gonna come in with With a hammer kind of deal, right? So that is what typically what some people would do in terms of the structure of Rent there's no set price that you need to set and when the time comes of negotiation There's a lot of things that we can be creative with Just like when you buy a business and just like when you sell a business There are just so many different ways to approach the same problem And I guess what I want you to take away from this is that when we're looking at a challenge or when we're looking at a Question that we want to solve. We don't always necessarily need to be like very linear. We can go around That's right. So just wanted to preframe that for you. So when you're thinking about it You don't need to think that a can get intimidated by these big landlords Yeah, yeah, and I think to be honest like it's one of those things where I guess I don't know For me. I'm at a point where I kind of I see running this business not in a immature way But just in a positive detachment like I see it as more of a game So we going into it with that perspective it is fun And it's like I'm just excited to be honest because looking at what we could do with it And just thinking they've got this huge space look the lady on the phone She's literally just given away. She's literally black and white said they've got a lot of money that they want to spend and it's just like okay If that's the case then, you know, we're both really really creative. We've got a shitload of ideas So it's just like what come, you know, it gets a bit silly because it's like oh, what can we do like this unlimited, you know Magical budget you've got to be serious But at the same time it really is a case of like, you know, we could Help to put something together that could genuinely revitalize this this place and create, you know This bustling food court events area, whatever it might be. So yeah, it's it's it's an interesting one But we've got to wait and see on that and see what comes for sure for sure And I I think one thing to keep Aware of and especially when you run any type of business and know for a fact that when you're thinking about and I think That's what that landlord is doing, right? They want the the young guns that has the time that has the fire the ambition to be able to do all the work for them And so then that way they don't need to invest in that so something that do you want to share with you is that it's definitely not as a It's definitely a lot more work than building out. Let's say a vegan Hot dog shop or brand, right because that itself is hard enough as it is, right? I know I'm pretty sure you know about that but now if you're talking about creating a food court and also Revitalizing a mall that does it's another business all on its own, right? And it requires your attention and it requires your your thought and strategy all together So definitely when you are jumping into that definitely let me know and I'll love to give you more insights about Hey, how do we fine-tune the demographic that we're trying to hit because when we're talking about malls? It's all about foot traffic. It's all about the demographic that we want to hit It's all about how you target them. What brings them in is it going to be families? Is it going to be couples who is going to be coming through the doors for you guys? Actually, you know what for some of the viewers that don't know I don't even think you've done you know yourself any justice with sharing with us about your concept So then that way just gives people some perspective because I know you guys have hosted multiple different major events And you guys have done quite well for yourselves Oh, I mean some of our big milestones is Well we did a festival that was 80,000 people there and that was like a really busy one Wow Big headliners Yeah, it's like a really popular event in the UK It was like the type of festival where you got like Diplo and all that kind of headliners Just yeah, it was pretty crazy We were like megos, we were literally the food stall that was closest to megos We just took down the sidewall Disclosure, disclosure as well, all those types of people We did a lot of different We did another festival that we had one festival one week and then the next week we had another festival So it was like a back to back and I've smashed my finger didn't I? That was the time where like we was putting up the like the whole stall and we was running on zero sleep Like literally no sleep And basically like this hard piece of metal just went straight on my finger And I'll just sandwich the finger Like literally burst the finger like crushed it That's not an accomplishment That was just a little story I guess Wow I feel like we've done It's crazy really when you think about it because we had this kind of romanticised idea of what running festivals would be like And doing it like physically in the flesh is just another story man It's a really rogue industry to be honest because it's like you're in a field Securities, you know, few and far between and some of them ability doing whatever they want to do anyway You know you've kind of got to watch your back You've got loads of cash on you but probably not in a post-COVID world but before You know we've kind of done all of that and then I mean in a week I think the staff as well is a big part because we act like we was running like 15 members of staff And like camping and like all doing that kind of stuff as well as running the stall And all like the logistics for the food and stuff I think that was the most challenging year We've also done like events like Mind, Body, Spirit which has again like that It's just targeted at like women and I can be really demanding Middle-income women In the middle of London How about team from you, right? Instead of Riz It's like women can be very demanding But honestly genuinely at that event it was like so like If you can imagine like your cliche posh London lady Like just so so overly demanding and it was like Like if you get like you know yourself you get sometimes you get a customer that's like I don't know, extra Like I said demanding but like you'll probably get one in a day or one in two in a week But it was like five, six, seven, like every couple of hours Like they were saying like we had like a really long queue because we were really busy And there was like you should have a sign telling people how long the way it is And we just like We're not a theme park We are actually like a food stall and we're trying the best we can There was four members of staff just turned like literally putting so many hot dogs out in the world Wasn't happy but there was some people who was really quite I think an achievement is the fact that we've managed to travel around the whole of the UK pretty much It's really insane how much you guys can accomplish at such a young age Actually, you know what mind sharing how old you guys are 23 and 24 But we started this when we was 20 20 and it was just literally from a dream that I had A physical dream It's insane Like and every time I when I talk to you guys you guys are so passionate in what you guys do And it really goes through the screen as much as I haven't seen you guys in person It's like you guys are so coachable and you guys are so good at what you guys do And now you guys are looking at a physical location yourself Literally and like we just want to keep pushing because we know that We have got such we don't want to just sell hot dogs Like we want to create a community and we want to create like this atmosphere where people can come And really enjoy and we've got a really good idea what we want to put into place this year It's like host a lot of fundraising a fundraising event So we want to climb like one of the mountains in England like Ben Nevis And we want to get vegans on that as well and like raise money for a cause that we think is like Something that needs money like either the sea or the rainforest And we want to get like vegans Get our fans to literally walk up the mountain with us Get to know us and like share like different ideas and it will just be like a whole Community-based thing because we don't want people just to think that we're selling hot dogs We really want people to understand us and get to know us as not just friends But just I want to be like them or they inspire me I want to create my own business and I just feel like customers For me personally is like a really big thing and I just I love being able to talk to people What you just shared with me through that conversation guys I'm not sure if you guys know hold on to that Re-watch this interview segment Because this is gold And why this is gold let me explain to you that Every big brand any brand out there that wants to start off Okay They need to be able to have a brand story They need to be able to have a conviction And their values that come out And now once you create that vehicle which is let's say your business Other people when they see that they'll come to you And a lot of reasons why restaurants fails or brands or businesses fail is because Usually that value of theirs and what they say they claim that they to be Is not aligned For you you just shared with me something so authentic To you something that you hold truly to you That itself is that you should never ever lose that North Star Because this is a North Star That is what's going to make you successful in the future with anything you do Because people buy into people People buy into brands People buy into values that they can support When they come and buy your hot dogs Your vegan hot dogs They're not buying just the vegan hot dogs They're buying into your values The community that you are creating And this does not come easy It's not something that comes naturally Of oh I want to create this movement No it's not like that A lot of people don't have that special dust to them This is your special secret sauce Don't ever lose that okay This is what branding is all about Because branding is not just about your logo Branding is about your values Branding is about the community that you have nurtured Branding is about what you believe in The causes that you guys want to support The way you guys do things Those all act up and add into something called branding And that's why it's something that people cannot copy And for you continue on this path doing that Times 10 what you just told me And make sure you're branding from your Instagram You're branding from your website The conversations that you have And the stories that you tell Revolves around back to the conversation that we just had Because that my friend is what is going to make you guys Definitely trust me on that one So anyone else that is watching this Really find that message that you want to bring out to the world Being you, the authentic you And the values that you want to bring forth Hold that so tight to you Because it's okay to turn people off But this is what and how you can actually attract loyal fans That follow you towards anywhere you go So great job on that Thank you, thank you I just think my business is doing a lot I think one thing that we've learned is Like we do struggle like there is times where we have struggled And there's times where we feel like absolutely Like we're doing really well And I feel like that's one thing that I've had to cope with And had to deal with like a lot Because I don't like it when we love And it really gets to me But then I've got to feel a lot And I've got to know it myself Like those times where we are really high And we're doing really well Then I've got to embrace those But I've got to take them both And really understand them And I just think Have you got any advice for when you are like Not doing so well Like what can you like?  Definitely So yeah Business could be crappy for a second You know what? You might be arguing with Riz It's okay It's fine But when you come back to this That doesn't happen Right? That doesn't happen And it is completely fine At the end of the day When you look back at this It's like this is what's gonna make you Make everything else worth it And that's the reason why I always share with people As cliche as it is To find your why And why are you doing what you're doing anyways? Why? Why is that the case? If you're trying to make money Dude, there are so many different ways To make much more money out there But why is that the case? Right? At the end of the day, why? Because you're passionate about it Because of the impact That you're able to make For me, why am I coaching you guys? Why am I helping you guys out? Yo, I'm not getting paid for this Yeah, I consult with other people $300 an hour Why am I doing this? Why am I putting in double the effort? It is because I truly am Passionate about impacting people Making changes in people's lives Like the other day I got an email From one of my subscribers They emailed me And it was a woman from Ethiopia She was just thanking me And sending me pictures of The booth that they created In a hawker's market And to a lot of people It doesn't seem like much It's like a really, really You can already imagine In a third party world It's really nowhere close To what we have as a norm Okay? But the messaging about how What we share And the impact that we're able to make Actually changes Not only her life But her family's life Exactly Being able to provide for her family Definitely I feel like we strolled up Oh, sorry, carry on Yeah, no, no, no I'm just sharing with you And that's the reason why I've gained so much more Passion towards what I'm doing Because it's not just Like YouTube It's not just like subscribers It's the legit families And people that we're helping And that's what really gives me Even more motivation To continue to create good content To be able to help people Because it's really, really worth it At the end, right?  YouTube channel Amazing Oh my God This person knows what he's talking about And every work break We've been watching you Even the secret sources I've really, really liked them Because it's nice Seeing the other side Of restaurant And getting to know What helped them And what they went through And their secret source It's amazing, really And when we found you It was just like He's the guy He's the guy And to be honest We've never, ever Bought a web course Not to the cost Of what yours is But we just knew You know We already had it in our head This year We need to lay some solid foundations To be ready To take these next steps And then when we knew That when we jumped on Whatever it was That the call prior And you went through the details What actually was on the Pro Academy We were just like This is everything that We needed in one kind of package And I think for what you're doing The value in that one little Like webbing Because that's all it is really With all that amazing content I don't know It's just this body of work Obviously you're going to keep working on And keep growing And I don't know man I feel like it's just Insane value That that can give to people Like you say about that lady In Ethiopia Everything on there If she was to like Be able to apply all of it Just bit by bit Even if it takes us Three, four years Like you know It can Completely change a lot It's already changed a lot Exactly So yeah It's crazy It's brilliant Thank you Actually you know what Do you guys mind sharing What has it helped you guys with Like after taking the course Like do you guys Find any benefit in that Yes So first of all We haven't finished The full course We've still got a little bit Left to finish And we want to finish Like the bonus modules One thing And this isn't something That we've gone over yet But talking about the bonus modules That initially struck me as well Was about being able to Sell a business Because eventually that is Something that we would like to do You know Years time So that was something cool But I haven't even watched that But in terms of Like what we have already Gone over I think Having like a groundwork Like you know A bullet pointed list of like This is what you need to Go through in terms of your why And you know Understanding your brand And just to Have that physically down on paper I think that's you know One of the real Beneficial things Because you can read like A thousand articles And each and every one Will say something different And it's good to do that Like you know Build your own But I think like Just having every To know okay If I do everything in this course Yeah it might It's not going to be a hundred percent Of everything I need to do Obviously Even if that's a good Fifty percent it's Or even just Even if it's just a foundation It's to know that Okay We're on the right track And I'll be honest We have also like a lot of the stuff That we went over in the course We were already aware of But it's just re-remembering And almost Just making us go back over To like actually Get a little bit more firm In our ideas Like I think that was What was important Because you start a business And it's never When you're in the first stage Of your business Like your ideas Are going to change As you move on and progress So I think it was like Good for us to Go back What we did at the first stage To now because Obviously everything had changed And I think I personally really like The finance part And the marketing part Yeah I think the finance part Just made us realise Okay These are the things That we need to be checking And these are the things That we should Be looking at All the time And I feel like That's a really good part Yeah And the marketing Because I think If anything What I'm trying to say is Like let's say I don't know There's a hundred things That you need to be doing To run a successful restaurant And let's say We're only doing like 20 or 30 To be able to watch that And be like This is at least 90 of the things And then you're going to Point out like 70 or whatever That you're not doing To be able to You know Look at this And we're all right This is the shit That we're missing out You know We're at least A bit more On the right track Awesome Yeah Reassurance Reassurance Yeah Definitely Reassurance Awesome That's the last thing I want is for people To not get value And I'm glad You guys find it valuable I'm glad That you guys Are able to Actually do the stuff That I am showing You guys Because at the end of the day What makes a coach Different And someone That is doing it Is the fact That we can actually Pin point what matters Ultimately Let's say for example Anyone that jumps In a swimming pool They know How to swim Or sorry That's a bad example Anyone that goes into the gym They can pick up a dumbbell And they can do their curls What is What What distinguish Why are people Paying hundreds of dollars For a personal trainer It is because It's the minute Items The minute Things To really pay attention To That makes all Of the difference Right Just like when When we are building a business We can actually We already know everything Like it's not rocket science It's not like there's a secret sauce However There are the little minute Things That we need to pay attention to The items that are moving the needle And when you focus on that That's What's going to make All the difference For you guys And for you guys I know it's Make a really great impact In your business So I'm really really happy To be able to help you guys Out on that note As well Any final remarks? Well, wait The other day So we was like Looking through our social media And there was someone Who copied our blue sauce And like This is the bloke place It's quite big We've got quite a large following From London And just a very one But this This burger Like there was Donating it I don't know if you've got it In your country It's something called drag race And it's like about People who dress in drag And I think That some of the money For the burger Was going to this charity But I don't know Because these people Know us And like They've saw us before And they've done a festival With us And it's just like They've copied our blue sauce That's like our signature And that's our signature It wouldn't be so bad If like a hundred Of the brands out there Had done it You look at hashtag Blue sauce on Instagram We like pretty much The only one Other than Maybe someone's made a milkshake On their own Account Or whatever it is But brand-wise Like source out there As the garlic and herb My own They've done a garlic and herb It's like a blatant rip-off And yeah It's a bit of a And we didn't know How to approach the situation We thought Do we leave it We did leave it in the end But I think If I actually make it It's a proper product On the menu I feel like I don't know What I'm going to do Well It comes back down To your branding Right Because at the end of the day No one can take that from you Blue sauce It's not proprietary To anyone I can go out Tomorrow And I can do exactly The same thing As what you guys are doing But I will never Ever Have that type of clientele And that relationship With my people And the reason why Is because It's just different values There's just two different Ways of doing things So they can continue To copy you guys But at the end of the day You guys just need To stay in your lane You guys need to be Holding true To what you guys believe in Who cares what Other people are doing Who cares For example Who cares if there's Other people that That's teaching other people How to run a restaurant And they should be teaching People how to run their restaurant But you guys won't Buy into them Because It's just two different values You buy into me Because of my values What Okay so Let me ask you a question Why would you guys Buy into me What makes you Feel that Oh shit Like I want to buy From this guy You're quite Reliable And you've given That much Value Already on your On your page That it's like Well first of all You're relatable Like it's lean said So you're like Similar sort of age Like you know You can kind of Pick up someone's values Even just from Talking generally But the value That you've already Put out there It's obvious That you know What you're talking about You get You get a vibe You know It's the energy Really And you feel like Okay It ticks the boxes Of Experience Experience And you can You seem like An easygoing person You can have a conversation With and you're not You know caught up in You know The way of running a restaurant 20 years ago Or 30 years ago You're very up to date You know There are like We've watched videos With the guys before And sometimes it just seems Like they're so caught up In old ways Doing things Not like Say willing to start On different apps Or whatever it is And you know You've got to be open To you know Doing those things In sort of essence Of it would be Like you know I guess Energy Lot of it We connect On some level Even though it's through Computer screen Exactly It's very interesting The point that I'm trying To make is not like Self boasting or anything But what I'm trying To make is If someone comes up With an And just to put On the record There are much More successful Restaurant owners That are out there Much more knowledgeable Than I am I'm nowhere close to them I'm sharing with you What I know That's the only thing But a lot bigger People that are out there But you chose me Because you relate to me Because you think I'm trustworthy You think I'm relevant And I'm relatable And I'm easy going These are the reasons Why you choose to Invest in me And have me as Part of your Coach in your corner Right? Same thing with you You and your blue sauce It's okay Because there are A lot of sauces out there What you should really Come back down to Is who you are What brings you To the market That other people Cannot replace And people cannot copy It's your passion It's your values Because you're going to Keep innovating You're not stopping At blue sauce Yeah Yeah Blue sauce is Something as a commodity Commodity can be replaced And people can buy cheaper Or they can buy Any other brand But if they want to buy Into you guys That is something That they cannot buy From anywhere else Make sense?

In this video, I am going to share with you my two-year retinae journey, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And at the end of the video, I have some comparison. I shot a little video clip in 2016 after I'd been on retinae for about a month. And also some still pictures I'm going to compare them with today as I looked in 2016. I have no makeup on in any of those pictures, so they're kind of scary, especially the video. So stay tuned. But before I go there, I just want to mention this is sort of a collaboration, comparison type video with Natalie the Beauty Diva. Natalie and I have done, I think, I have to go back and look, but I think we've done three retinae videos, or at least two. But I'm going to link them below, and I'm going to link Natalie's channel. And Natalie, I know I don't have to say anything about Natalie because I know most of you watching this video know exactly who Natalie the Beauty Diva is. But I just want to say that when I first started seriously exploring the thought of skin care and seriously looking into perhaps doing something called retinae on my skin, I searched on YouTube for mature women. And I found a few channels, and one of the channels I found early on was Natalie the Beauty Diva. I started to watch her, and I was mesmerized. I know she's younger than I am, but I was mesmerized by her beautiful complexion, the way she did her makeup. And the more I watched her, and the more tips she shared, the more I learned. So Natalie the Beauty Diva, oh my gosh, I owe her a huge debt of gratitude, as well as Mary Ellen after 60. I'll tell you, Mary Ellen after 60 and Natalie were the first two that I watched, especially from mature skin care and retinae. And I also found Carol from the O'Carroll show, right about the same time. So those ladies paved the way for me. They really did. And Natalie, what can I say about Natalie, kind, kind-hearted, beautiful woman, from the inside out, from the outside in, it doesn't matter, she is just plain beautiful. Her personality totally shines through, and her skin care is meticulous. She's just unbelievable. I wish I could just be a tenth of what she is. I really do. But that said, I know I can't, I can only be me. But I want you to know, if you haven't connected with Natalie, I'm going to definitely link her channel as well as Mary Ellen after 60 and Carol from the O'Carroll show. I want you to know that these ladies in our mature community, they have helped me so much. They paved the way for me to experiment, to try different things, to feel confident in trying those things.  I am not an expert. I am not a beauty diva by any stretch of the interpretation. I basically am learning as I'm going and I'm sharing that journey with those of you that watch my videos.  First of all, I am 64 years old. I will be 65 in February, February 14th of 2019. I did not start doing serious skin care until about two, two and a half years ago. Prior to that time, I was of the generation where sunblock was considered baby oil with a little iodine mixed in. And when I did have to actually buy sunblock, it was typically Vandicelae number four oil. And I baked in that from the age of 12 on. So most of my life, I have baked in the sun using baby oil and most of my life from the age of 12 on until about, I know maybe about seven, I'll have to check for sure about 17 years ago. I was a heavy smoker. I started smoking as a very young, not even a teenager, 12 years old. So I was a heavy smoker, abused the sun and, you know, I probably did abuse some alcohol at various points in my life, but that said, I now, I feel like I'm trying to play catch up. I really do. So when I got on the retina bandwagon, I was looking for a miracle. I was. I was looking for something that was going to make a change right away. And everyone said, nothing is going to make a change right away. And I knew that, but I still wanted to have, like everyone else, instant gratification. I did go to see a dermatologist. I did talk to him. I did tell him what I wanted. The things that bothered me the most, he said to me, retina is never going to take care of you need to lift this up. You need to have injections and then you can get rid of some of your jowls and your 11s and things of that nature. And I was like, I didn't want to do that for one thing. You know, everyone has a has a different budget. I could not afford it. Insurance wouldn't pay for it. And I have too many other things at that point in time on my plate to even contemplate saving for something like that. So I ended up getting retina. And I ordered my first thing of retina from a pharmacy in Canada, which was significantly cheaper than here at the States. And since that time, I've ordered my retina from a pharmacy in India, which is significantly cheaper than the Canadian pharmacy. So in 2016, I started my journey and everyone said, go slow. Um, yeah, I kind of thought I had to do it my way. So I would listen to the caution and then I'd say, okay, I still did it my way. And slow is definitely better, but I know you're going to have to do it your own way and you're going to have to figure out what works for you. But I ended up going too fast, adding too much product and I suffered from it because I continuously had, and I still have flaky skin. I continuously had flaky skin. So there were times and I, I work full time, so there was times I was going to work and I'm like, I didn't want anyone to, I'm like hiding, hiding my face because I didn't want anyone to, to see the peels and see the flakes. I started using face oil. I started using B Venom cream. I actually started using the B Venom cream. I'm still using it and I, and this is the Lancome one that you just get a TJ Maxx. Just, just the cheapy. So I started using this and then the it cosmetics secret sauce. I started to use that as well around my eyes. So these would be my two creams of choice. And I'm just talking of trying to handle my flakes. And I got into the habit of exfoliation, exfoliation, exfoliation, exfoliation, exfoliation. I can't say that enough just to try to lift the gunk off my face. I could see that I had dead, dried skin, but I had to like somehow get rid of it. So exfoliation is the key. I would look in the mirror and I'd go, I'm not seeing a difference. Then I would look in the 10 times mirror because I would do that several times a week. And after a while, I did think that I started to see a diminishing of some of the deeper lines, but they didn't go away. My jowls didn't lift. The weird things that did happen. And I think it was probably the eyelash serum more than anything was my hoods lifted and you can see that in the pictures. You'll see that in the pictures at the end of this video. My hoods lifted and that was like amazing to me. About six months into my retina journey is when I started to see some of the difference, but I was still struggling. And I try every which way imaginable to me to deal with the flakes. So I could continue on with the retina, yet I could also function without looking like a lizard, you know, or whatever.  I think I'm in use that all time. I still use this every day, every morning. This has helped tremendously.  If you want to get to somewhere, maybe where the road is going to be better, you're going to have to go through some huge, huge bumps along the way. And those bumps at times made me feel like I was just going to throw in the towel.  I was like, Oh my gosh, I don't think I can deal with this. I hung in there and after a year was like, Hmm, you know, I, I'm seeing a difference. Now I will have to say to you at the same time, there were three things that I was doing on my skin about the same time as my retina journey.  I take two tablespoons of powdered pure collagen every morning and every night. I put it in my shake sometimes during the day, but I take that consistently every day. And I think that collagen from the inside, coupled with my retina and my derma rolling, I think that collagen production and the taking of the supplement of the powdered supplement on the collagen has really helped everything to the point where I would not go without my collagen supplement at all period. The other thing that I would not go without is my cheap B. Venom cream. I actually put that on my skin every night. I layer it on my skin every night. It stings to all get out and not everyone can take it and not everyone will like it, but it works well for me. It is probably the biggest thing that has helped me manage my flakes in my retina journey.  And so I know I'm not going to use any retina for probably three or four days before that wedding, because I know that is the cycle on my skin two to three days. I get this huge, huge turnover and I can actually kind of like lift this, the peeling skin off. So I'm not going to do that. I'm going to be very, very careful with that before the wedding. So I have to plan that a little carefully and then the other ugly part about it is summer. Right now I'm roasting here and it's, we have a heat wave. Can you believe it in New Hampshire? It's a heat wave. Unreal. And I'm probably a shiny blobby mess because it's hot and I'm shooting a video and I have a light here to kind of light me up because it's kind of, as you can see, dark out. But anyways is sun protection. So it's a trade-off, you know, you want to put a lot of sunblock on, but you also want to have some foundation on. A lot of foundation doesn't play good with sun block. So you buy a foundation like my CC cream that has a 50 SPF in it. So a lot of times in the summertime, I would just put that on my face and I felt somewhat covered and then I would put another sun, you know, a clear sunblock on top of it. Or I would use the Australian gold, the mineral, it's tinted sunblock. I really like that. I could wear that alone. But sun protection, you have to, you have to live your summer life differently and retin A. And you make that judgment. I made it. So a lot of hats. I sit under an umbrella. I am a beach baby.  For me, all of a sudden to not be a beach baby, to deal with the beach differently was a huge adjustment. Basically in finishing up summer number two on retin A and we camp a lot. We go away. We go to the ocean. You know, we're always outside. So I've had to make some major adjustments to that. And I'm still using 0.1% on my face. I have the gel. This is my last two. I've gone through one full tube of this. I am still on my last tube of my 0.5%. And then I have a much smaller 0.025%. This I was using down my neck and in trying to, you know, take, use this in conjunction with my rose hip oil down my neck and my chest to try to help my neck and my chest.  But that's what I'm using on my neck and my chest on my eyes. I had tried to use my 0.025% retin A around my eyes to try to get at some of the deeper lines. But since my birthday, I have been using the US version and then shortly there after the UK version of the Olay Pro retinol eyes. I honestly will continue to use this. What can I say? I believe that it has softened some of the lines, but I can't tell you for sure. I can't tell you for sure if it's this or if it's the retin A, because you get to understand if you apply a retin A, it does go upwards. So I think it's a combination of everything. And so here I am two years later, my anniversary, my retin A anniversary. And you're going to see some photos of me starting in 2010, I think it is here. And you can see through these early photos that I'm showing you right now that I have always had hooded eyes, you know, always. And you can see some of my wrinkles and you can see the progress I've made. So I'm going to end talking here and come back at the end of the video. I'm going to show you the clip that I made, a couple of video clips and some still comparison pictures. And all I can say is I think you need to be the judge. You let me know what you think. It's August 28th, 2018. Two years since I started retin A.  That's what this is today, two years later. Has there been a dramatic improvement? You're going to have to be the judge. Particularly concerned right about here in this, I'm hoping it diminishes a little bit. I'm not too sure. You can see it sort of off. I'm not even. And then bags under my eyes, the wrinkles here is what I'm hoping I can eliminate some of these fine lines. I don't have as many on this side.  This side, not as much. And a few still pictures for your viewing pleasure. Pretty gross. I can't believe I'm actually publishing videos without makeup. Yeah. It has been a journey. It sure has been a journey. I'm going to continue on the journey because I think it's only going to get better from here on in or here on out. I do think if someone has unrealistic expectations or they expect a miracle or an overnight solution, they're going to be in for a big, big disappointment. I will also say that I think it's important before any of you jump on this journey that you go and talk to your medical profession. You go ahead and professional, you go ahead and talk to your dermatologist. That's what I did just because somebody on YouTube is saying you need to do this doesn't mean it's going to be right for you. So you need to make that judgment call yourself. But in my real life, there are people that know me well that have seen me day in and day out. There's some people that haven't seen me in a year and then they suddenly see me. But in my real life, I have had more people comment about how good my skin is looking. And trust me, my skin is not perfect at all. It is far from perfect.   But from even from 2010, where I was a lot younger than I am in 2018, I people say I look so much younger today. And that to me is a huge, huge compliment. And that to me is enough to keep me going when the people I see day in and day out comment on things like that. I know you're seeing me on a YouTube video. Many of you don't know me, but in real life. But those people that do know me in real life, they've seen a difference. And to me, that's huge. So that's going to be my motivation to keep going. And who knows what next year, my third year anniversary is going to be like, you know, I hope I can come back and say, wow, you know, yeah, it looks a lot better. But two years into retina, I am absolutely, absolutely so thrilled that I stayed the course. There were many times I was going to throw that towel in many times when I looked at myself and went, Oh, no, but I hung in there and I hung in there because I kept having hope. I kept watching women like Natalie, like Mary Ellen, like Melissa 55, like so many of the gorgeous older women on YouTube that they're using retina. You would never know it. Look at look at Carol from the Ocaro show. She's older than I am. She looks absolutely wonderful. There are so many, so many beautiful women that are paving the way. And for that, I am internally grateful. So I just want to thank you all so much for watching. I hope I didn't gross you out with my before and after pictures. It does look pretty bad, doesn't it? Thanks so much, guys. I will talk to you later and please be sure to leave me a comment. Give me a thumbs up. And if you have not subscribed, please subscribe to the channel. I truly, truly appreciate all your support. Bye, guys.
